Our Royal, Titled, Noble, and Commoner Ancestors & Cousins (over 192,000 names).
I've added a new "hot key" to my Welcome Page. It is the ancestry of my husband and is called "Dennis Lundahl's Genealogy Site." His ancestry includes people from Sweden (Skåna & Väster Götland (was Skaraborg) counties), Switzerland (Solothurn canton), & New York State Palatine & Dutch settlers. "Last Edited Date" is now a data element in each record. My ancestry is from New England, Virginia, England, Scotland, Germany, & Switzerland (as of 4 April 2020). My current concentration is on combining the database of a dear friend who recently passed away with my database. Her ancestry is heavily into New England, with additional ancestry from Scotland & Switzerland.

Whenever you're writing content, readability is really important. If your work is as hard to comprehend as a scientific paper, then who would want to read it?
You'll have alienated anyone who isn't a scientist, engineer, or any sort of technically-minded person. To be honest, even those technically-minded people may not want to read your work either! Even these sorts of people are not obsessed with reading technical material. They need a break from all that too.
When it comes to web content, people usually don't pay attention to content that requires a lot of mental stretching. There are lots of alternatives, after all. Cyberspace is a highly competitive place, and if your content doesn't measure up, then you'll be left behind in a split second.
Thus, if you want people to pay attention, put some good readability to your writing with these three tips.
Remember back in the day, when authors were too fond of themselves and wrote in such lengthy, overly complicated sentences that the structure of the sentences made it very hard – and quite confusing as well – to comprehend?
Notice how long that sentence was. Yes, it's just one sentence. If you thought it was one paragraph already, then you've found the problem. The sentence is far too long to comprehend in a heartbeat.
Also notice how boring it looks. If this entire article were structured that way, would you still like to read it? I suppose not. A big part of readability is managing your sentences into chunks that are easier on the eyes.
Remember back in the day, when authors would always write in very long sentences? They were so fond of themselves that they like to write that way. It ends up being very hard to understand, and confusing as well.
Three sentences. Now that's a paragraph. And it's much easier to read and comprehend. That's the idea behind readability.
Everyone working in a specific niche is guilty of this. Just because you're so used to niche-specific terms and abbreviations, it doesn't mean everyone else understands them. Let alone people from other fields of interest.
For example, the abbreviation PR.
It's just two letters, but it has very different definitions depending on who's reading it. For corporate people, PR means public relations. But for fitness enthusiasts, PR means Personal Record (e.g. number of push-ups done in one session).
Readability is also about being easily comprehensible. So when you're writing for a wide audience, avoid jargon as much as you can. If you can explain something without using industry-specific terms, then do so. Again, it's a blog, not a white paper. Save the jargon for the more technical publications.
And if you must use jargon, make sure your readers understand it first. The first time you'll use the term "PR", for example, define it clearly. If you're writing a fitness blog, then mention that PR stands for "personal record". This way, readers from the corporate world won't confuse your PR with their PR.
More often than not, you'll be writing about things specific to your niche. Another huge part of readability is translating complex details into simpler bits and pieces. It's like teaching science to a five-year old: you have to turn the scientific terms into everyday language, so your five-year old student would understand everything you say.
Tell you what, there's even a section in the Reddit forums called Explain Like I'm 5. The idea is to explain complicated things – like scientific theories, economics concepts, business principles, and many more – in such a way that everyone will understand. If a five-year-old can understand your explanation of why lightning strikes, for instance, then everyone else can understand it.
Simplification doesn't have to be "dumbing it down".
It really isn't; rather, it's more like using a different language to explain a complicated concept. Have you ever heard of the quip, "in English, please"? Yes, you are using English to explain something, but the words sound so complicated that other people think you're speaking another language.
So take their advice. Write in plain English, and more people will take interest in what you have to say.

Mezi lety 2004 a 2007 se nacházela na kampusu South Seattle Community College v Seattlu, nyní je umístěna v bývalé budově Mount Rainier High School. V roce 2013 se přesunula na nové místo a přejmenovala na Raisbeck Aviation High School.

Nová škola, která se jmenuje po hlavním sponzorovi, se začala stavět v srpnu 2011, její stavba byla dokončena v létě 2013. Stavba se nachází na sever od Muzea letectví na západní straně Boeingova letiště v Tukwile. Nová budova je navržena tak, aby co nejvíce podpořila důsledné vzdělávání v předmětech STEM, mezi něž patří věda, technologie, strojírenství a matematika. Studenti budou mít možnost přímo z budovy vyhlédnout na vystavená letadla Muzea letectví, například na Concorde nebo jeden z prvních tryskových Boeingů. Umístění školy bylo vybráno, aby byl usnadněn přístup ke zdrojům nabízeným Muzeem letectví a zhruba 200 s letectvím spojeným firmám v okolí.

"First Record of Bonefish, Albula vulpes, from Mississippi Coastal Wate" by K.J. Cuevas, James S. Franks et al.
Bonefish (Albula spp.), Family Albulidae, occur worldwide in coastal waters of tropical and warm temperate seas (Crabtree et al. 1997), and 2 species, A. vulpes and A. nemoptera, are recognized from the western Atlantic Ocean (Rivas and Warlen 1967). The normal range of A. vulpes in the western Atlantic extends from Bermuda to Brazil, including the Bahamas, Cuba, Mexico, Central America and the Antilles (Hildebrand 1963), but in US waters, A. vulpes typically occurs off south Florida (Crabtree et al. 1997). In contrast, A. nemoptera has been reported from Panama, Colombia, Venezuela, Jamaica and Hispaniola (Uyeno et al. 1983).
Published accounts of A. vulpes from the northcentral Gulf of Mexico (hereafter GOM) are rare. Ogren and Brusher (1977) collected a single specimen of A. vulpes from St. Andrew Bay, Florida but did not report its size. Thompson and Deegan (1982) reported the collection of 3 A. vulpes leptocephali (range: 34.8–53.5 mm standard length (SL)) from Louisiana coastal waters, and Boschung (1992) reported a single A. vulpes juvenile (37 mm SL) collected from Grand Bay, Alabama. We report the first record of A. vulpes from Mississippi.

Today, I am reviewing Jim Beam Yellow Label, the flagship rye whiskey from the James B. Beam Distillery. I have reviewed a few rye whiskeys on the blog so far, but this is the cheapest one so far. Jim Beam Yellow Label is bottled at 80 proof and aged 4 years, just like Jim Beam's entry level bourbon. However, I do believe that rye whiskeys work better at younger ages than bourbons, and I believe Jim Beam's Rye is an example of that.
On the nose, Jim Beam Rye is a quintessential rye whiskey. There are notes of rye spices, menthol, cinnamon, pine straw, black licorice, and dried mint leaves. It is a very pleasant nose, although it is a little subdued. It doesn't quite jump out of the glass like some other rye whiskeys. The palate has a nice balance of sweet and spicy notes, the combination between vanilla and cinnamon. There are also notes of evergreen trees and sour candy. The finish is moderate to medium long. There is some rye spice lingering, combined with mint leaves and a little vanilla.
Overall, I am a fan of this whiskey. It is flavorful up front, and it is a great introduction to rye whiskey. It makes a flavorful mixer if rye-based drinks are your style. The nose is very nice, and the palate is a simple, solid presentation of what a rye whiskey can be. My grade: C. Price: $15-20/750ml. What is best about this whiskey is the price. For $16, you can have a great introduction to rye whiskey and a great mixing whiskey for your liquor cabinet.

A fierce hardcore band who've won a growing audience for their relentless, technically precise attack, Counterparts were formed in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada in 2007. Originally known as Brigade, the group was formed by vocalist Brendan Murphy, guitarists Jesse Doreen and Curtis Washik, bassist Eric Bazinet, and drummer Ryan Juntilla. The band was also briefly known as Sharia before adopting the name Counterparts, and they began playing extensively around Ontario. In 2009, Washik left the group, with Alex Re stepping in as their new guitarist, and Counterparts set out on a demanding cross-Canadian tour. In 2009, Counterparts signed with the Canadian punk label Verona Records, who released the band's debut album, Prophets, in 2010. Also in 2010, Juntilla left Counterparts, with Chris Needham taking over on drums, and the band cut a split-EP with Exalt. Following lots of road work in Canada and the United States, Counterparts struck a deal with the American independent label Victory Records in 2011, and began work on their second album. During the sessions, Needham left the band, and Juntilla returned to his spot behind the drum kit. Counterparts' first album for Victory, The Current Will Carry Us, appeared in the fall of 2011, and once again the band hit the road. By the time the tour hit Canada, Juntilla had once again parted ways with Counterparts, and Kyle Brownlee of the deathcore group Majesty sat in on the road; in 2012, it was announced that Kelly Bilan of I Am Committing a Sin was now Counterparts' official drummer. In July 2013, the band returned with their third full-length album, The Difference Between Hell and Home, and after the first rounds of touring, Re announced he would be playing his final show with Counterparts in December 2013.

The big day's coming, just a couple days till January 16, my birthday! I can hardly wait for the celebration part, even though I'm not that crazy about getting older. But that's OK, too. Because I can't do anything about it, I may as well put a positive spin on it.
I love being a January baby -- "January baby, full of grace," all that, and also because I don't have to wait as long for my birthday to roll around. The old year ends, the new begins, and wham! there it is. Technically it's as early as January 7, even though I don't know the next time that will happen. I haven't looked that far ahead.
Having the chart is great, because it makes it just as handy for me as it is for any of you. Because even I can't be expected to remember when my birthday is year to year. It's complicated. But having a chart really simplifies things. I need to send a copy of it to my family and loved ones, and real life friends, who might like to send me a card or gift, if they only knew when the big day is.
There's a few simple rules I go by that limits when it can be. As I said above, the earliest it can be is January 7. I never want it exactly around the New Year, since that would detract from the glory of the day. There's also a religious reason. January 6 is Epiphany, when the Wise Men came and did what they did at the manger. I will not horn in on the end of Christmas!
From the day I was born, I never actually wanted to be born on a single digit date. But I've found that allowing the periodic appearance of the 7th, 8th, and 9th does have a value, putting me in a thoughtful mood -- a little blue -- which I use it to enhance my feelings for the rest of the year.
I'm glad also that I was not born on one of the oddball days of the year. Like February 29. There was always some idiot kid running around school going, "I'm only 4 years old!" I never understood the fascination with being 4. Another thing is, I don't like February period, so every date in February is oddball to me. It's more or less a shorter month they stuck in to fill in the rest of the year, but they put it second so it wouldn't look like a last ditch effort. Because of February my other limit is January 29. I don't want anything in the 30s so close to February. Avoiding the taint of February is a big thing with me.
Oh, the technicalities of life! The things we do to honor ourselves on the day of birth, that one special day we look back on when our mother gave us birth. And hopefully there was a father around, as well, to provide for us. My dad said he was my dad. And since I look just like him, I half believe him.
See you January 16! Happy birthday!

New coronavirus antibody tests: Who can get one and how do they work?
The new test is said to be 100% accurate. Picture: PA
With the news that the UK now has a "game-changing" coronavirus antibody test which has been found to be 100% accurate, many people are asking what is the new test? And who can get one?
Public health authorities in England have approved access to a new coronavirus antibody test from Roche's was "highly specific" and had an accuracy of 100%.
Previously Prime Minister Boris Johnson has called antibody testing a "game-changer" as it could help ease lockdown restrictions sooner.
Read more: First coronavirus antibody test approved in UK is '100% accurate'
The blood test detects antibodies in patients who have been exposed to the virus, even if they never developed symptoms. The approval means a mass NHS antibody testing program can now get underway.
But how does it work, and who can get one? Here's everything we know so far.
Read more: House prices could take a year to recover from coronavirus
What is the new test?
Pharmaceutical giant Roche has developed a test which can tell whether somebody has ever had coronavirus.
The test involves taking a small sample of blood and testing it for antibodies which will indicate exposure to coronavirus.
Public Health England (PHE) has evaluated the new Roche test and has approved it as being safe and reliable for widespread use.
Read more: Universities 'may be at risk' due to reliance on Chinese students
How reliable is it?
Very. The test picks up 100% of people who have had coronavirus.
This means it has 100% sensitivity.
It also has a specificity of over 99.8% - meaning it picks up virtually all people who have not had coronavirus.
A test that is 100% specific means all healthy individuals are correctly identified as healthy - there are no false positives.
What if I've never had any symptoms of Covid-19?
Experts believe a proportion of people who have had Covid-19 never actually develop symptoms.
The new test can identify people who have had coronavirus even if they have never had any indication they are infected.
If the test shows I've had Covid-19, am I now immune from it?
Scientists are unsure and there is still a lot to learn about coronavirus.
Experts believe that while the presence of antibodies indicates a level of immunity, it is unclear whether people are completely protected and how long any immunity lasts.
There has been some suggestion that immunity could last for two to three years but more work needs to be done.
Can I get the new test?
Not yet. The Government plans to first roll out the test to front-line workers such as those in health and social care.
It is hoped the test will become available to the wider public, although it is unclear whether this will be via the NHS or through commercial websites.
Roche says it will be able to provide hundreds of thousands of antibody tests to the UK every single week.


Each and every night I went to bed knowing I'd be going on this journey. It was like someone or something was shaking me, pounding this message into my brain. Every morning I would awake with the message.
Of course, I had not been involved in Focusing to this point, but strangely I completely understood the message. It helped me understand that one thing that would carry me throughout this life is my own body. It had never dawned on me before. It would be with me the whole way, it will serve me. So, it got me thinking about how to honour the body. In my thirties and before focusing it was all about exercise, food, and taking care of this vessel.
The word vessel is important because it helped me begin to think about my body as a ship for my soul. My emotions could be in the hull and I was on this timeless journey and adventure. It became very easy to take care of my ship and along the way, by and large I have tried to build a strong body and this message has stayed with me for twenty years, sometimes stronger than others.
Revisiting this idea as a focuser has given me a new kind of outlook on this phrase. The whole idea is to continue to honour the body. We might have a mind, but it is the body that carries us through life. It's the only vessel for a journey and it has an amazing wisdom and high tech navigating system. Focusing is a way into the room on the ship which holds this high tech navigation system. I've come to learn that this exists in me and I believe it exists in other people.
For me, focusing has been the way into this space and it has allowed me to navigate this ship (my body) in a way that is more than just a ship in a storm. Now, I feel I have built a body that is like a ship that can navigate the storm. A very precious ship.


It's a good day for bioretention soil at the Guinness Open Gate Brewery and Barrel House.
It's pouring. It's pouring beer – Guinness welcomed the community into its newly opened 62-acre, $90-million brewpub. It's pouring people: 1,000 guests entered within the first hour of business. It's pouring water: Baltimore gets an average of 40 inches of rain per year.
What are the benefits of bioretention soil to a brewpub?
While pouring smooth stouts might be a specialty of Guinness, this place also wants to slow the flow of stormwater into adjacent waterways – and ultimately the Chesapeake Bay. They did so with Harvest's bioretention soil media.
The Guinness Open Gate Brewery and Barrel House is open to the public from 3 p.m. to 9 p.m. on weekdays and noon to 9 p.m. on weekends. Check out the landscaping as you play corn hole or simply enjoy your pint.
Where can I get my hands on large quantities of bioretention soil?

Several different soil types were employed to study the effects of simulated soil erosion on wheat and canola productivity. Varying amounts of topsoil were scraped from the surface of experimental fields and crops were grown using three levels of fertilizer applications. Topsoil removal treatments included 0 cm removed, (a basis for comparison) , 5, 10, and 20 cm of topsoil removed. Fertilizer application treatments consisted of no fertilizer applied, recommended rate of fertilizer applied and approximately double the recommended rate. Crops utilized for this study were Columbus wheat and Westar canola. It was found that yields generally decreased as the amount of topsoil removed increased. Data indicated yields to be severely depressed on all topsoil removal treatments where no fertilizer was applied. Soil texture played a role in determining the outcome of yields in that on the coarse textured soils, even twice the recommended rate of fertilizer was not able to bring the yields back to that of the control. The recommended rate of fertilizer application was able, on the other hand, to mitigate topsoil losses on the fine textured soils and in some cases yields exceeded the control at twice the recommended rate of fertilizer.

Alan Aragon - IGX "...overflowing with foulmouthed ignorance."
Turns out to be sexual harasser. What implied is quite ugly and obviously cannot be defended in any way, the speed and the character of his colleagues' reactions is fairly amusing to watch. Reminds me of the Soviet era purges: everyone has to come forward and kick the accused. And if you are smart you smear others along the lines as well.
May I inquire as to WTF you're talking about?
Dude got handsy with employees and attendees at fitness conferences he was a speaker at for years, and didn't back off when told to. Slow to apologize when called out, and thing got away from him.
Thanks Steve, LMAO that was a very thorough account!
well, I have changed my opinion of him now. I always found him to be a bit boring but actually he sounds like my kind of a guy.
Poor Martin, his book is a masterclass in narcissistic self indulgence, and of course he had to jump on Alan and start making odd and vague implications that may end up getting him sued for slander.
Yeah Martin didn't handle this great.
I tried reading that. He sure can talk about himself. And he doesnt.seem very likeable.
I got up to the part of Alan being a moderator somewhere. Does Martin ever say anything interesting?
^^^^This right here. Martin writes like a prima ballerina.
Martin's book is a masterclass in narcissistic sociopathy. I am pretty sure there's not a page where he doesn't talk about how great he is.
He was always kind of that way, but I think him keeping so lean for so long resulted in his body cannibalizing some brain tissue for the fat in it. He went off the deep end a while ago, raving and ranting about both Alan Aragon and Lyle McDonald, but later took the letter down, although Lyle kept it up on his site.
I think him keeping so lean for so long resulted in his body cannibalizing some brain tissue for the fat in it.
I didn't see his rants on Lyle's site. Holy crap he's not doing great.
Yep, I meant before you mentioned it I hadn't seen it. Hopefully he gets things sorted out. Dude is not a happy dude.
"Uneasy lies the head that wears the crown of douchebaggery" - Henry IV, Act 2.
Sadly, this stuff reminds me of the relentless time. I remember all of this - Martin's ascend to the Internet fame, followed by stagnation and his eventual breakdown. And now the comeback, if you can call it that. And this saga stretches back whole ten years!
Martin is a weak (or a lazy) writer. He keeps claiming to have put down the broscience, but this is false. Intermittent fasting is not his invention and it is not the panacea for getting ripped. His tone - "I am the only voice of reason in the fitness industry that is in a downward spiral" - is not even irritating anymore. Arrogance that is not based on some sort of skill is the worst kind.
I feel Martin is legitimately mentally ill.
IMO he undeniably took this from the woo-woo self improvement space to a legitimate tactic for the S&C community. I was an early client of his, and at the time nobody else was advocating this. A lot of bros came after him about 6-8 meals a day. Then people started appropriating his work.
You can't patent ideas, and if somebody doesn't like that, they should probably go do something else. But he was more or less the primary contributor for years on the subject. He's just his own worst enemy when it comes to a lot of things, and the book is about 9 years late.
It wasn't in the domain of some woo woo space, just wasn't marketed enough and wasn't in the fitness market. The first time I came across it was around 2008, Fast5 diet. It wasn't aggressively marketed. When it got to bodybuilding via - that's true - then it exploded. Even though it's at best a secondary tool for getting lean. And though there is no evidence that frequent eating is beneficial in any way for many trainees it has proven to be the solution for appetite control.
Neither was he a contributor, on IF or any other subject. His blog was never a source of decent amount of information. And when somebody started the Facebook group Martin blew his lid. That was hilarious.
No doubt, Warrior Diet and Fast-5 both predate Martin.

Field observations from several outcrops in the Eastern High Atlas Mountains, near Amellago (Morocco), are used to determine fracture-network model parameters, such as the aspect ratio of the fractures represented as rectangles whose longer side is horizontal, the volumetric area of fracture surfaces, the fracture mean size and the fracture density. The fracture orientations can be roughly approximated by Fisher distributions, where the parameters are determined by outcrop measurements. The permeability of the fracture networks can be calculated by application of the Snow equation for infinite fractures or by numerical resolution of the flow equation for fracture networks generated with the parameters deduced from the outcrop measurements. These two permeability estimations are shown to be in good agreement, which suggests that theoretical or semi-empirical solutions may provide reasonable approximations of fracture-network permeability in some carbonate reservoirs when conditioned to appropriate outcrop and subsurface data.

Nearly everything I love about Catwoman goes back to Batman: The Animated Series. I was seven when the show started, sort of the perfect age to get pulled into a show like B:TAS (especially since my parents actually let me watch it as a child-friendly alternative to the ultra-violent Batman movies). And while many of the characters in the show are still my favorite versions of that character, that Selina Kyle was my Selina Kyle. She was smart and more than a little devious and out for herself. And yet (and yet) at the same time Selina was passionate about helping animals, especially cats, and many of her episodes focused on protecting animals. Her moral code might have been her own, but it was unshakable. The reason she teamed up with Batman so often in the show was because of that unshakable code of ethics. She had agency outside of mere greed and beyond her flirting with Batman.
I hadn't been reading the New 52 Catwoman comic, mainly because my monthly comic budget is limited but also because I had heard not so good things about the writing and creative direction. But I have been reading Batman Eternal, which has pulled Selina into some new territory. You see, mobster Rex Calabrese is currently in jail, Gotham City is falling into shambles thanks to a variety of factors and someone is needed to take on the role of Calabrese crime boss. So, Rex asks his very, very estranged daughter to step up to her birthright. And that happens to be Selina Kyle.
While this was hinted at in BE months ago (and shown briefly in Batman #28), the Catwoman book finally started this storyline in October and after hearing praise for it from people I trust, I grabbed the two current issues to read for the Thanksgiving weekend.
New series writer Genevieve Valentine is already solidifying themes of strong women leaders throughout history, as well as exploring the mobster politics. As someone who watched The Godfather a lot with her dad growing up, I'm interested especially in seeing how Selina will handle the various Gotham Families. There's a lot more subtlety to this Selina, who chooses her words carefully around her could-be allies and plans one step ahead of her could-be foes. And while the inside art isn't as detailed as I'd like it to be (facial expressions in particular get lost), the body language in Garry Brown's linework brings Selina a cool confidence quite fitting for her new role.
And here's what I love – this feels like Selina Kyle to me.
This direction in the comic isn't overtly derivative of the animated series — actually, her methods and responsibilities as well as the overall tone of the story is very different between the two projects. But like her character in Batman: The Animated Series, Selina is working towards something she believes in. In B:TAS, she stood up against animal cruelty. Here, her sole motivation for building up her crime organization is to rebuild and stabilize Gotham, especially to help the poor of the city be able to survive. More than anything, the new direction for the book focuses on Selina's agency and her passion for helping the helpless. That's the kind of Selina I can root for, that I want to see do her thing.

Alison Victoria and Donovan Eckhardt's relationship, explained
by Lilyanne Rice

Windy City Rehab is a HGTV home-renovation show led by former Kitchen Crashers star Alison Victoria. Alison always harbored dreams of flipping houses in her hometown of Chicago, and Windy City Rehab gave her the chance to realize her dreams. She had the requisite business skills and the desire to restore properties without interfering with their original history and architecture.
However, she didn't possess the technical skills to pull off the jobs, and that's where Donovan Eckhardt came in with his construction company. The pair embarked on some amazing projects in season 1 which satisfied customers and earned profits. However, there might not be an Alison and Donovan partnership after season 2.
Alison ended her association with Donovan after she found out that he was stealing money from the company
Heading into season 2 of Windy City Rehab, Alison and Donovan's relationship was already tense. She had found out via social media that Donovan's license had been temporarily canceled by the city due to inspection infringements. Nevertheless, she stuck with Donovan even though his company couldn't participate in the projects.
Unfortunately, her decision to keep Donovan around turned out to be wrong. In the fourth episode of season two, Alison sat with Donovan alongside two other company officials to review company finances. "There's so many money issues on projects and so many questions I have," Alison said. The financial records exposed Donovan's corrupt dealings.
Alison found out that Donovan has been taking money out of the company without accounting for it. She invested money in the business only for Donovan to take all the profits leaving her with nothing. Victoria eventually decided to cut ties with Donovan:
"This is the end with me and Donovan. He's gone, by his own right, by his own doing. I have lost a friend and I have lost a business partner. But I do know this: This happened for a reason, and I know that I am strong, and I know that I will get through this."
Alison claims that her split with Donovan has been tougher than some of her friends' divorces
Before she found out about Donovan's deception, Alison thought that she wasn't running a profitable company. She put all of her income into the business, but she didn't get anything back. Understandably, her mental health suffered. "I would wake up every day and just want to keep the blinds closed and the covers over my head," she told People.
The discovery of Donovan's theft startled Alison, but it also took a load off her shoulders. It assured her that she ran a profitable business and that all she needed to do was get rid of Donovan. Unfortunately, ending her association with Donovan wasn't easy because they had entered into so many business deals as partners. Victoria told People that she'd seen divorces that went easier than her break from Donovan:
"There are so many things that are still connected. I've taken the last year to remove him from a majority of them, but that takes so much time. People just think, 'Oh, it's easy. You just get rid of a partner.' But I have friends that have gone through divorces that aren't this bad. And those divorces were really bad."
Victoria takes comfort in knowing that she made the right decision in letting Donovan go. Whenever it gets too tough, she leans on the love she gets from her boyfriend, Michael Marks, and her family. Victoria told People that she hasn't made it this far only to quit: "I've peeked, and I'm like, 'That's not for you. You didn't come this far to fall down. You didn't come this far to give up.'"

the wormwood and the gall!
and is bowed down within me.
and therefore I will hope.
The lament is from the lamented daughter of Zion. In the first verses of Lamentations, Jerusalem is referred to as a princess who has become a slave. Later verses show God's wrath poured upon the rebellious people through the image of a rain and the reality of graphic bloodshed. Desolation stands where a once beautiful city now lays slain. One motif that has stuck with me is God's glory shown through fire, gleaming metal, and flashes of brilliant light throughout Lamentations and Ezekiel. As I read these passages, my heart became increasing heavy under God's judgment of Israel but mostly His majesty and power. However, "the Lord will not cast off forever" as in Lam 3:31. To the repentant He gives hope, mercy and grace. The girl in the picture is the mournful daughter of Israel but also this daughter of God that I am through Jesus Christ's sacrifice. I encourage everyone to read Lamentations and Ezekiel to increase their view of our Lord's power and awesome majesty.
This picture and artist statement is a fantastic expression of the theological tension found in Lamentations. Great job!
I have always been intrigued with the prophets' descriptions of the God's glory. Your artist's eye has re-fired my interest in reading the major prophets.
thank you all. this was very encouraging!
So, for the devotional cover, did you photograph this painting? I'm interested in learning the materials you used to create this piece of artwork. Looks like two types of paper on top of oil paints?
Maybe I'm misinterpreting the point of your blog, but I bet others would be interested in learning not just what inspired you but also the different techniques you used in addition to specifications about the piece (ie dimensions, materials, etc).
Keep up the inspiring work!
In a raw umber nutshell: I am an artist and musician who has trouble finding time to finish all the books she's started, who's loved despite her flaws, and by the grace of God and Jesus Christ's love, I am saved and growing closer to Him, through His mercy.
I am sick and blogging.

The grapes were handpicked from alternating sides of the trellis in two different stages. Morning sun grapes are picked almost two weeks prior to afternoon sun grapes exhibiting rich developed stone fruit and fresh zesty lime respectively. The grapes were then sorted by hand before being destemmed, crushed and lightly pressed ensuring high quality free run juice. The juice was enzymatically settled at cool temperatures for 72 hours before being removed from the sediment and fermented in 300L barrels. Fermentation lasted 20 days at temperatures ranging between 18 and 23°C. 80% of the blend underwent malolactic fermentation. Battonage was done weekly to add enriched mouthfeel and complexity. The wine was left to mature for 12 months in 70% new French oak barrels.
The Destination is the pinnacle of white winemaking at Journey's End. Rich and full on entry and throughout. The nose exhibits concentrated apricot and ripe peach with layers of lime zest and orange. The fruit component is complimented by well-balanced almond and vanilla spice from generous oak aging. Minerality ensures freshness and adds linearity to a long lasting creamy finish. The Destination will reward patient cellaring for up to 10 years post bottling.

Seasonal monsoon rains regularly cause floods and loss of life in South Asia, but the floods that have swept north western India, Nepal and Bangladesh this year are exceptionally devastating. At the time of writing the UN OCHA are reporting that 41 million have been affected by the floods, with over 900 killed. Other reports from officials are that the death toll is already over a thousand. This could increase as rains continue in some flood-affected areas and flood waters move south.
The scale is vast: in Bangladesh alone, a third of the land has been inundated in the worst floods for 100 years. The loss of crops as well as homes threatens longer term food supplies.
Tens of thousands of houses, as well as schools and hospitals, have been destroyed and displaced people in all the nations affected are in urgent need of life-saving support. Governments and aid agencies are struggling to provide shelter, food and clean water, while fearing outbreaks of diseases such as cholera and dysentery which frequently follow floods. Contaminated water and limited shelter and facilities put young children particularly at risk.
Concerned about climate change? Then why is New Scientist cosying up with Shell?
"It's time we all burst our carbon bubbles" declared New Scientist magazine in a leader published on 5 July, extolling the virtues of divesting one's current account, pension etc. from fossil fuels. We couldn't agree more. And so we'd suggest that New Scientist puts its money where its mouth is, and breaks sponsorship ties with Shell.
The annual exhibition 'New Scientist Live', taking place this autumn, sees Shell returning as a sponsor. And not just any sponsor. Shell's logo will be splashed all over the 'Earth Zone' covering life on earth and indeed climate change. In one sense it is extremely appropriate for the issue of climate change to be sponsored by Shell (see also the proposal that hurricanes should be named after fossil fuel companies).
But Shell's business model is contributing directly to a shocking decline in the biodiversity that the 'Earth Zone' is celebrating. A recent in-depth study by investors Schroder looked at the different elements that need to change if we are to avoid catastrophic climate change. The overall conclusion is clear - climate change is accelerating and we are on course to blow our 2C budget soon (let alone the aim of keeping temperature rise to a less dangerous 1C). What was also illuminating in the report was the difference between the elements. For example, renewable capacity has been increasing, but not fast enough: it is on a trajectory consistent with a 3.1C increase, electric vehicle progress is less positive on a 4.1C trajectory. Coal burning is falling so there's a more positive message there: it's consistent with keeping to 2.2C. Oil and gas production however is rated as on track for a 7.8C temperature increase.
We expect that visitors to New Scientist Live will learn about Shell's investment in green energy (one percent of its total business). Shell also likes to highlight its work on energy efficiency. One thing that will probably not be highlighted is that at Shell's recent AGM, a motion was rejected to set emissions targets in line with the Paris climate agreement, with the board arguing that this was "not in the best interests of the company".

Seventh Grader Leads This Year's Golf Season
Anna De Guzman, Senior Staff Writer|November 19, 2014

Georgia Ruffolo sports her golf sweatshirt!
Returning from a great season last year, Academy's golf team had to start at square one. This year's most valued golf player was seventh grader Georgia Ruffolo. At such a young age, Georgia already has so much potential. During our interview, she expressed golf as being her last resort when it came to picking out a sport, but it is hard to believe considering all of her success! She has led this season ranking as the number one player with high school senior and captain, Bailey Boesch, in second.

Shown are a few members of the golf team posing after a successful golf tournament.
1. How old were you when you first started playing golf?
Boesch: My family has always played golf, but I didn't start practicing until my sophomore year.
Ruffolo: I started playing golf when I was eight, but I started tournaments when I was 10. So I started about two years ago.
2. About how many hours a week do you dedicate to playing and practicing golf?
Boesch: During the season we practice for about an hour every day and we have matches Tuesdays and Thursdays. We also play in a couple tournaments which take about five hours, but we get to miss school on those days so it's fun.
Ruffolo: I practice almost everyday. I have a lesson once a week and I play 18 on the weekends at my golf club with a caddie.
3. What do you love about golf?
Boesch: I love how you can be completely focused and totally forget everything that you are stressed or worried about. The snacks are pretty good, too!
Ruffolo: I love being able to travel the country and meet new people!
4. If you could pick one person who has influenced your passion for golf, who would it be?
Boesch: If I could pick one person, it would probably be my dad. He gets more excited for golf season than I do.
Ruffolo: My dad for sure. He played golf all the time and used to be really good. He's still pretty good, but I'm better! (Kidding!) He dedicated all of his time to me so I could get better and I am! Slowly, but surely.
5. Out of all the sports available to play, why did you pick golf?
Boesch: Freshman and sophomore year I played volleyball and then junior year I took a lot of AP [classes] but still wanted to play a sport. I had always golfed with my family and it was less of a time commitment.
Ruffolo: I picked golf because I was REALLY bad at everything else. I tried soccer, swimming, and basketball. Golf was my last option. I did small clinics down by the air force base. That clinic was what really got me liking golf.
6. What was your favorite experience playing golf with Academy?
Boesch: I had the opportunity to meet and be teammates with a lot of underclass-women that I otherwise would not have met. We had a really great group of girls and it was fun to lead them as captain.
Ruffolo: Last year, the Academy golf team was the best of all of Hillsborough County. We were a force to be reckoned with. We won districts, regionals, and came sixth at states last year. But [the players] all graduated last year. Our number one player, Emmy Martin, was like my idol on the golf team! She was just so good. She got a full ride for golf at TCU. [Mariah Diaz] graduated valedictorian and went to Duke; [Casey Pluchino] went to SLU, and [Devin Lewis] went to Miami of Ohio. This year, we kind of had to start from square one. Last year I was this little sixth grader who was the fourth player. This year, I'm the first player on the team. I didn't care about winning though, I cared for the team. In my opinion we had a great team this year.
7. Is there anything else you'd like to add about your golf career?
Boesch: Well, one time I got a golf cart stuck in the mud. Mr. Kumka, our coach, and some of the dads had to push it out. It was pretty embarrassing, but we all laugh about it now.
Ruffolo: For my golf career I want to play college golf [at Duke, Penn State, or Florida], but I also want to go to medical school. If I end up going to med school, I want to be a dermatologist. Everyone says I can make it in the golf world; whether I'm playing golf and I'm on TV or I'm a commentator for golf channel. Whatever I end up being when I grow up, I want it to be right for me.
Best of luck to both Bailey Boesch and Georgia Ruffolo on the rest of their golf career!
