Pierre Prieur & Fils Sancerre La Damnée Des Prieur 2018
For ten generations, the history of the Prieur family has been written in the prestigious terroirs of Sancerre such as Monts-Damnés, Coinches, Bouffants in Chavignol, Chêne Marchand in Bué, and Perriers in Verdigny. Today this family estate is run by Bruno and Thierry Prieur. The 42-acre estate has 30 acres planted to Sauvignon Blanc, and the balance with Pinot Noir, in three types of soils : chalky-clay, pebbly-chalk and flinty soils. We tasted and loved this with its elegant, classic style. Made of 100% Sauvignon Blanc (as are all Sancerre white wines), this has citrus notes of lemon and grapefruit, green pear and peach skin along with lovely terroir notes of flinty chalk and minerals. Serve with French goat's milk cheeses in particular, or with raw oysters, shellfish and white fish dishes.

BlanCat Estate Malbec Parcel Selection 2017The family of Javier Catena has grown vines in the foothills of the Andes Mountains in Mendoza for four generations. The great grandfather of Javier Catena, President of Bodega Cuarto Dominio, was born in the little town of Tolentino in Italy at the end of the 1800's. He was a vineyard worker there until he sailed from Italy to Argentina in 1898. When he arrived to Mendoza, he was taken aback by the splendor of the Andes, by its landscapes and by the people that received him so warmly. He was convinced he wanted to follow his dream here and planted his first Malbec vineyard in 1902. Up until that point, Malbec was a blending grape in Bordeaux, but Nicola supposed it would find its perfect place in Mendoza. Domingo, Javier's grandfather, decided to continue fulfilling his father's dream and took the family winery to the next level, becoming one of the largest vineyard owners and building one of the biggest wineries in Argentina. During this time, Javier's father, Jorge Catena, studied enology in Mendoza and started working in the family winery in the mid 1960's. Jorge specialized in winemaking and oenology. At the end of the 1970's, Jorge believed that in order to produce the best wines of Argentina and to be able to compete against the greatest wines in the world, he must learn the latest technologies and winemaking techniques, so he decided to travel to California to study at the University of California at Davis. He also traveled several times to Europe and to Australia, and focused the majority of his studies on the French winemaking techniques. When he returned, Jorge continued working in the family winery, following his father's dream. In 2006, Jorge decided to pursue a different path and started a new project with his sons. In 2008, Bodega Cuarto Dominio was born, to which Javier Catena was named President. For this wine, fruit is sourced from both the family's estate vineyards and trusted vineyard partners in the Uco Valley. Within these selected vineyards, the top parcel is selected to create BlanCat Parcel Selection Malbec. All fruit is hand harvested. The wines spend 10-12 months in 100% French Oak; 2nd and 3rd use barrels for subtle, integrated oak influence. Wines are filtered and cold stabilized prior to bottling and release.

Caro Aruma 2017Made by Caro's new winemaker Philippe Rolet from hand harvested grapes in the Uco Valley, Aruma celebrates the 10th anniversary of Bodega Caro, a joint venture of the respective 'royal' families of Argentina and France: Catena and Rothschild. Rolet is from a family from Jura that worked for Alta Vista and later in Patagonia, where they are developing a new project. Originally from France, Malbec (Cahors) was introduced to Argentina by a Frenchman, Jean Pouget, in 1868, which coincidentally was the same year James de Rothschild purchased Château Lafite. A very fruity, exuberant, powerful grape, Malbec has adapted wonderfully to the Mendoza region where the sunshine and cool nights soften its tannins and reveal its velvety-smoothness. "ARUMA" means the "night" in the language of the Quechua, the native Indians of the Mendoza region. Bodegas Caro chose this name because it is the intense darkness of the nights in the Andes and the pure mountain air that give the wines the rich, authentic character of their terroir. ARUMA - the wine of the mountain nights. Serve with grilled meats, empanadas, baked beans with bacon or hard aged cheeses in particular.

Nadia Cabernet Sauvignon 2017Far from the windswept coastal foothills of Laetitia Vineyard & Winery lies a land of elevated, quiet grace. Framed by chalky cliffs and planted to vines that are drenched in sun by day and chilled by the cover of night – this is the Santa Barbara Highlands Vineyard, the home of NADIA. It was on this stretch of remote earth that, several years ago, the Laetitia Vineyard & Winery team decided to take a chance. Owner Selim Zilkha asked himself and several others 'Could this be the place?' And after tireless examination, the answer came back an unqualified yes. The soil, the sun, the altitude; every scrap of evidence announced definitively that Rhône and Bordeaux varietals would find their truest expression in such a place as this – and even rival the finest in the world. With Lino Bozzano and Eric Hickey rising to the challenge in the vineyard and the cellar, respectively, thus was the concept of NADIA born: a limited collection of Rhône and Bordeaux-varietal wines whose sole purpose is to champion the secluded beauty and inexhaustible potential of the Santa Barbara Highlands Vineyard. Armed with a top-shelf estate vineyard, a purpose, and a collaborative vineyard and winemaking team, Lino and Eric went about the work of creating these special wines from the ground up – ground whose uncannily amenable growing conditions are fundamental to the depth, complexity and value of NADIA wines. NADIA, which translates to mean "hope" in Russian and "delicate" in Arabic, is a Bordeaux blend made of mostly Cabernet Sauvignon, with Cabernet Franc and Merlot. Look for rich aromas and flavors of ripe blackberry, spice, toast and chocolate. Balanced and pure, with medium to full-bodied richness and sweet tannin, it is approachable and delicious in its youth. Serve with steaks, burgers, grilled vegetables, and cheeses; especially Cheddars from Canada, Ireland and England, Comte Gruyere from France and Cotswold from England. The Laetitia Estate Vineyards were first planted to grapes in 1982 when French viticulturists found ideal growing conditions in the Arroyo Grande Valley for producing wines of similar character to those of their homeland in Epernay, France. Nineteen years later, the property would be acquired by Selim Zilkha, founder of a successful wind power development company and champion of environmental sustainability. Between his qualifications in renewable energy solutions and his passion for the pleasures of the harvest, Selim has developed Laetitia into the home of some of California's highest quality, sustainably-produced wines.
Old Pearl Pinot Noir 2017Old Pearl is a collection of wines crafted in honor of the Shannon family's beloved dogs, and named for one in particular, who has been working their sustainable vineyards since she was a pup. Old Pearl is a Great Pyrenees livestock guard dog who helps keep the ranch's sheep safe from predators. These livestock protection dogs have played an integral role in the sustainable farming practices instituted by owner Clay Shannon. Clay started out as a vineyard manager for various wineries before starting his own brand, and has gained fame for wines such as OVIS, Shannon Ridge, Buck Shack and now Old Pearl. Crafting genuine California wines with great respect for nature, Shannon and his team's wines have tons of flavor and character. Look for strawberry, bright cherry and dried herbs dancing around French vanilla oak flavors delivering a smooth, lingering finish. This Pinot Noir offers a wide variety of paring options, from lamb to game birds, cheeses and charcuterie, as well as with the sweet-salty flavor combination found in a multitude of Asian cuisines. "Just like Old Pearl, this wine is affectionate, loyal and playful, but dignified." - Joy Merrilees, Director of Winemaking and Production

Monte Antico Rosso 2015This is a delicious Tuscan red made of 85% Sangiovese, 10% Cabernet Sauvignon and 5% Merlot. Monte Antico means 'Ancient Mountain,' and the wine is made from hillside vineyards with at least 25 years of age from Pisa, Maremma and Chianti Classico. Monte Antico is the proprietary label of respected Italian wine importers, Neil and Maria Empson who have been promoting Italian wines for over 30 years. Their winemaker is Franco Bernabei who fashions the wines from vineyards which have the perfect combination of complex soils including fine limestone, rich clay, and the famous Tuscan galestro (a unique rocky soil). Although this is considered a Super Tuscan, due to the addition of Cab and Merlot, we thought it tasted traditionally Italian, and that the expression of Sangiovese was perfectly enhanced by the Bordeaux varieties. It has warm aromas of red fruits, vanilla and hints of spice and earth with more of the same on the palate. Serve with pasta, pizza, steak and arugula salad, or after-dinner with fine Italian cheeses.

Southern Right Sauvignon Blanc 2018The new vintage 2018 just arrived of this tasty Sauvignon Blanc!

It has been rated the best South African Sauvignon Blanc in the Wall Street Journal and has won numerous Gold and Silver Medals. The wines are named after the rare Southern Right whales, which frequent the cool South Atlantic Walker Bay, 3 kilometres from the vineyards. With each bottle sold, Southern Right makes a contribution to Southern Right whale conservation.

Cantele Salice Salentino Riserva 2015The Cantele (cahn-teh-lay) family originally hailed from Veneto, but Paolo Cantele's grandfather emigrated to Puglia and founded this family estate in 1979. We met Paolo here in Spring Lake when he visited the Bottle Shop for the first time, and tasted through the Cantele wines. We were impressed by the complexity, consistency and value across the board. He told us that this wine, the Salice Salentino Riserva, was chosen by the Gambero Rosso as the #1 Best Value Wine in Italy last year---that is a great compliment! Made from very old vines, up to 60 years in age, this Salice is aged for 6 months in older barriques. Another interesting fact he shared with us is that Cantele adds even less sulfites than allowed by the legal organic limit. The estate is not organic, per se, but the vineyards are farmed as sustainably as possible. It helps that 80% of his family's vineyards are on the Adriatic Coast side of Puglia, giving the benefit of NW winds which keep the vines breezy and not too hot. This is simply an extraordinary value for a very high quality red wine. THIS SUSTAINABLE RED WINE HAS LOW SULFITES

Rhiannon Red 2017Rhiannon Wines was named Family Owned Winery of the Year at the 2012 New York International Wine Competition. 'Rhiannon' pays homage to this family's Welsh roots. The Goddess Rhiannon is a figure of power and mystery in Celtic mythology, associated with magical birds and horses and the contrasting qualities of change and steadfastness. Crafting a distinctive blend, likewise, balances change and steadfastness: the uniqueness of each harvest must consistently express the winemaker's personal vision. Rhiannon is a blend of Petite Sirah, Syrah and Barbera. 2015 is the fifth vintage of this luscious, red fruit-driven,

Ca' Momi is owned by three quality-driven Italians: Dario De Conti, Stefano Migotto and Stefano's wife Valentina.

Complicated Pinot Noir 2015Taken Wine Company was founded in 2009 when next generation winemakers, Carlo Trinchero and Josh Phelps realized their mutual dream to start their own wine label. Josh and Carlo grew up together in the town of St. Helena, in the Napa Valley with their winemaking families. Wine is most certainly in their DNA! The wines are crafted to appeal to the millennial generation in terms of both what's inside and outside the bottle. The names (Taken, Complicated, and Available) all tie into social media and are relevant to their generation. Crushed raspberries and ripe red cherry burst out of the glass from this perfectly balanced Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir. A full midpalate of red berries and plum lead to a lingering finish of fruit and acid with lightly toasted oak and subtle earthy notes. There is a distinctive silky and caramelized taste and texture to this wine.

Castello d'Albola Chianti Classico 2016The Castello d'Albola state is situated in Radda at the heart of the Chianti Classico DOCG appellation, where grape cultivation has a legacy dating back to the time of the Etruscans. In the 15th century, the Acciaiuoli family commissioned Castello d'Albola to plant the highest vineyard in Chianti Classico because it was perceived as a symbol of status. Over the centuries, many noble Tuscan families have owned the property and the estate has earned many accolades for its wines. In 1979, the Zonin family acquired Castello d'Albola promising to uphold the estate's excellence for future generations. Castello d'Albola wines have earned the iconic 'Gallo Nero' symbol from the Chianti Classico Wine Consortium that guarantees the highest winemaking standards. The estate is planted to Sangiovese, Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay, Canaiolo, Trebbiano Toscano and Malvasia del Chianti and this Chianti is made of 95% Sangiovese and 5% Canaiolo. The estate is also a stunning example of Tuscan Renaissance architecture. The Zonin family owns important vineyard sites across the Italian peninsula, but this property is where Gianni Zonin, his wife and three sons enjoy an intimate family connection. With some of the most historically important vineyards in the Chianti Classico denomination, Castello d'Albola represents the tip of the Zonin- quality pyramid. The 2011 vintage was named TOP 100 WINE OF THE YEAR 2015 #46

Tortoise Creek Mission Grove Pinot Noir 2018This delightful Pinot Noir made by the Masters family in California is the perfect red to serve for Easter. Supple, charming, medium-bodied and delicious, it will not only be a crowd pleaser, but it will also pair well with traditional dishes such as spiral ham, pork tenderloin, leg of lamb or roasted turkey. Pinot Noir is a delicate grape variety that requires optimum growing conditions so the Masters' are careful to source fruit from the best vineyards. 60% comes from the Clarksburg region where the clay and loam soils coupled with the cool weather of the Sacramento Delta balances the acidity and the fruit. 40% is from Monterey with its sunshine, Pacific winds and Santa Lucia Mountain influence. Look for violets, red berries, cherries and vanilla. Aged 12 months in French oak, pair with salmon, chicken, sushi rolls and cheeses in addition to 'Easter' fare, and its handy screwcap makes it super convenient for large family gatherings.

Cavicchioli 1928 ProseccoThe Cavicchioli family has been cultivating vines in the San Prospero province of Modena in the Sorbara DOC for over 100 years. Then in 1928, Umberto Cavicchioli began bottling the wine under his family name; today, it is Umberto's two grandsons, brothers Sandro and Claudio, who are in charge. Claudio looks after the commercial side of the family business and Sandro is the winemaker. The family's focus on vineyard ownership, low yields and DOC production has been instrumental in establishing Cavicchioli as one of a leader in high-quality Lambrusco and Sparkling wines. This Prosecco is a DOC Spumante Extra Dry. Spumante simply means sparklilng in Italian, and Extra Dry is usually fruitier than a Brut. But in this case, this Prosecco is actually on the drier side, making it crisper and more food-friendly. Made of 100% Glera grapes in the province of Treviso, the grapes are handpicked in the vineyard before heading to the winery for temperature controlled fermentations. Look for ripe lemon, white flower, ginger and bread aromas followed by a crisp, thirst quenching palate of more citrus, flowers and green apple with hints of mint and minerals on the finish. Serve as an aperitif or with white fishes, shellfish, goat and sheep's milk cheeses and more... As seen on the The Today Show Author: Edward Deitch Date: Monday, November 24, 2014 'To lighten things up on Thanksgiving, have it with a glass of bubbly, such as Cavicchiolis 1928 Extra Dry Prosecco from Italy. The 1928 refers to the year the Cavicchioli family started to bottle the wine under its own name. This refreshing sparkler has just a touch of sweetness (extra dry in the sometimes odd parlance of wine) with apple, lemon and herb notes that will easily invite you to pour yourself another glass. Consider it as an aperitif before dinner as well.'

Mitolo Jester Shiraz 2016Mitolo is recognized as one of the finest producers in McLaren Vale. With brilliant young winemaker Ben Glaetzer, Frank and Simone produce individual, hand-crafted wines built on passion and an uncompromising commitment to quality. Mitolo's philosophy has always been to focus on the vineyard, ensuring that the grapes are picked on flavor ripeness and that the right balance of aromas and structure are achieved. Parker raves : "For a winery only established in 1999 and dedicated to hand crafted artisinal wines, Mitolo has consistently been a revolution in my tastings." The Jester wines share the pedigree of the top Mitolo wines, but are more accessible and fruit-forward. Jester Shiraz is a blend of several blocks within the Lopresti vineyard in the Willunga district, all the way at the southern tip of McLaren Vale overlooking the coast. Being so close to the coast, the vines experience warm summer days that contribute to fruit intensity and excellent tannin ripeness, and cooling afternoon sea breezes and nights maintain good acid levels in the grapes, allowing extended maturation on the vine and resulting in complexity of the flavor profile. The soils are heavy gray loam over sandstone, intermixed with black Biscay clay. The excellent water holding capacity of these soils mean minimal irrigation is required giving the wines maximum flavor. The vines are an average age of 25 years old. Each parcel of fruit for Jester is fermented on skins for 5-6 days at a cool temperature to enhance the pure berry fruit. The wine is then pressed and undergoes partial barrel fermentation. A natural malolactic fermentation is completed before the wine is racked. it is then aged in 2-4 year old French oak for 14 months.

How much seafood should you eat each week? According to the USDA, two is the magic number.
The USDA's 2015-2020 Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommend we eat at least eight ounces—or two servings—of a variety of seafood per week as part of a nutritious 2,000 calorie-per-day diet that includes 250 mg. per day of omega-3 fatty acids EPA and DHA.
Plus, The American Heart Association [AHA] says fish consumption not only decreases heart disease risks, but also contains valuable vitamins and unsaturated healthy fatty acids.
And it's deliciously easy to enjoy the recommended amount each week. Every 3-ounce serving of fresh or frozen salmon provides 1.1 to 1.9 g of total omega-3, according to the AHA.

The lamestream media insist that it was Fidel Castro who appeared sitting in the Cuban parliament, for only the second time since 2006 when the very sick, elderly Fidel had a major operation and vanished.

College students compete with high school students for low-paying jobs: "48 percent of college graduates who find work end up with 'mal-employment,' where they work low-paying jobs that do not require a college degree so they can pay back their student loans."

Is Google attempting to patent liberal bias? "Well-known sites, such as CNN, tend to be preferred to less popular sites, such as Unknown Town News, which users may avoid," a patent application by Google states. [176] Will other liberals need to pay a royalty to Google to be biased??

An answer to old earth creationists, alias progressive creationists or theistic evolutionists, from a young earth perspective. [190]

Is an atheist wiki cowardly backing down to creationists? The atheist website has yet to accept a debate offer to debate the 15 questions for evolutionists. [200]

Obama Administration approves "wind farm developer to move on project that could kill 8 – 14 bald eagles per year." [218] Where's opposition by "environmentalist groups" - perhaps their agenda is not really to protect vulnerable species like bald eagles after all??

Is your wallet a little lighter these days? It's called the increased costs of Obamacare: [221]
Inspired and motivated by leftist hate. The shooter at the Family Research Center last year pleads guilty, and admits he was motivated to do so after seeing it listed as "anti-gay" at the left-wing Southern Poverty Law Center website. [222]
This particular connection - and "hate" map published by the SPLC and touted by CNN - was ignored by the major news media. [223][224]
Great conservative sports star Curt Schilling says that the Boston baseball organization tried unsuccessfully to get him to do drugs. [225] That's pathetic when administrators are pushing drugs.

Neocon Fox News Channel, pathetic on the social issues, purges the wrong people in a desperate attempt to halt its ratings slide. [228] Fox has been the platform for RINO Backers like Karl Rove.

Breitbart.com comments on Barack Obama's Skeetgate.[230]

Tea Party to Karl Rove: Thank You Very Much! [234]

"Nearly half of college students who graduated in 2010 are holding down jobs that don't require a bachelor's degree, while 38% are in positions that don't require even a high school diploma." [243] Worst College Majors and Obama's economic policies are two big reasons.

Is government replacing the church, by using tax money for things that tithes are supposed to pay for? And whose fault is that? Might it be ourselves, for letting this happen? [245]

"Gallup: Conservatives Outnumber Liberals in 47 Out of 50 States." [247]
"Sensitivity training will start post-Super Bowl after the anti-gay remarks made" by a 49ers player. [248] The homosexual agenda is at odds with the right to free speech.
Mark Levin pretends to defend the Constitution but will allow no protest of its most serious breach to date: that de facto President Barack Hussein Obama is not a natural born citizen. [249]
Liberal Senator Robert Menendez of New Jersey has much to explain.

[250] UPDATE: The former leader of the effort to recall Menendez from the Senate made this statement.
A former Eagle Scout calls on the Boy Scouts of America to reject calls to allow open homosexuality in the ranks of its members and adult leaders. [251] UPDATE: The head of Parents and Friends of Ex-Gays and Gays weighs in on the same subject: [252]
A Tea Party and education activist has this message for those concerned with failing schools: stand on your own two feet! Includes a resource for homeschooling. [253]
Another major "missing link" of evolutionism fails.[254] If there is one thing evolutionists are good at, it is failing!
Is Rep. Marsha Blackburn (R-Tenn.) who challenged Barack Hussein Obama to a skeet shooting contest, better at skeet shooting than Obama? Was Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis better at skeet shooting than Obama? [255]
Despite claiming to skeet shoot, Obama can't provide any witnesses or other evidence that he has ever engaged in skeet shooting.
Question: Why are liberal girly men so afraid of guns and skeet shooting contests?

Must be the time of year: there seems to be a lot of new members here, you and me included. What do you think so far?
Welcome, Jamile. It would be very difficult for people like you and me to be religious. I guess that says something about those who are.
Hello Jamile
Welcome to this world of rationality and peace, where pure common sense is enough to lead to the open freethinking wisdom common to non-believers like you and us.
We invite you to join the busy group "ORIGINS: Universe, Astronomy, Life, Earth, Humans, Religion, Gods, Atheism, Evolution, Darwin..." with 700 discussion topics and 3600+ members.

Performances on Thursday will include

Featured Family Friday: Commodore Worth Moore and Nora Roberts
Obituaries of Commodore Worth Moore, Sr.
The Greenville News, 24 Dec 1923, p. 3:
"C. W. Moore Dies At Vaughnville
GREENWOOD, Dec. 23 – Special – C. W. Moore, for many years a teacher in various parts of the South, died at his home at Vaughnville, Newberry county, last night following a long illness. The funeral will be conducted at Soul's Cemetery at 2 o'clock tomorrow afternoon.
Mr. Moore was 75 years of age, having been born in Anderson county in 1848. He was a graduate of the Lutheran College before that institution was moved from Walhalla to Newberry and was at one time connected with Auburn University.
For the past 18 or 20 years he had lived at Vaughnville, where he was engaged in farming and in the mercantile business."
The Greenville News, 27 Dec 1923, p. 5
"Former Auburn Man Goes to His Reward
GREENWOOD, Dec. 26 – (Special.) – Funeral services for C. W. Moore, formerly connected with the Alabama Polytechnic Institute at Auburn, Ala., and a teacher in a number of Southern states for many years who died at his home at Vaughnville, Newberry county, Saturday night, were conducted from the home Monday afternoon and interment was made in Souls cemetery.
Mr. Moore is survived by his second wife, two sons, by a former marriage, and one daughter as follows: T. J. Moore, Longview, Tex.; C. W. Moore, Atlanta, Ga., and Mrs. F. M. Stephens, Charlotte, N. C.
His first wife, who died many years ago, was a daughter of Col. James T. Roberts, of Anderson."
New items of information for me:
1. The fact that C. W. Moore had had such an illustrious career as a teacher and had graduated from Lutheran College.
2. The fact that his first wife's maiden name was Roberts (I already knew her first name was Nora) and her father was Col. James T. Roberts of Anderson. Previously I had found the maiden name of his second wife, Martha Black, and the fact that she had had two husbands prior to her marriage to C. W. Moore (Henry Luther Crout and P. H. Koon).
2. The fact that one of his daughters (he had two daughters and two sons that I know of) had probably predeceased her father, the name of the husband of the surviving daughter, and the fact that the daughter and her husband were living in Charlotte, NC, at the time of C.W. Moore's death. This last piece of information was the clue I need to find out which of the two daughters was married to Mr. Stephens (Dana) and which had probably died (Wynona); I was able to find a North Carolina death certificate for Dana Stephens, and it listed her parents as C. W. Moore and Nora Roberts.
3. The location of son T. J. Moore at the time of C. W. Moore's death.
So what remains to be done to follow up on this information? Well, I forgot to do the census work for F. M. and Dana Stephens in North Carolina and for T. J. Stephens in Texas, as well as search for any other information that may pop on them in Ancestry, the Family Search pilot page, and other search pages. That should be this weekend's chore.
Here is the family of C. W. and Nora Moore:
Commodore Worth "Commie" Moore
b. 17 Feb 1848, South Carolina
d. 22 Dec 1923, Vaughanville, Newberry Co., SC
& Nora Roberts
b. 1855
d. bef 1900
|--Dana Moore
|----b. 6 Jun 1879, Seneca, Oconee Co., South Carolina
|----d. 20 Sep 1952, Charlotte, Mecklenburg, North Carolina
|---& F. M. Stephens

|----d. 23 Mar 1940, Atlanta, Georgia
|---& Marjorie Appleton
|----b. 1896, New York
|----m. 1926
Obviously many gaps remain in my information on this family: dates of death for Nora and Wynona Moore and information on Dana's husband F. M. Stephens and on T. J. Moore, to start with. I also want to find out more about Nora Roberts' family.
If you are reading this and believe that you are related to this family I would really like to hear from you (you can find my e-mail if you click on View my complete profile under the section at the left entitled "About Me").

Great research work, Greta. I was wondering, do you subscribe to Ancestry.com? You mentioned using them in your post. Also, I noticed a link to my latest post. I am so dense, I STILL do not know how to do that. When I try (in the Blogger application that pops up when I click on "Create a Link" at bottom of a post, it creates a new "Post" instead of a link. What am I doing wrong???ReplyDelete
Thanks! Yes, I do use Ancestry, but I try to check out as many other resources as I can. Actually had some success in finding more information on this family last night and will post it soon.
To make a link, when I have my post in Edit Html mode, I highlight the text I want to turn into a link and click on the link icon (third from the left) on the top row of icons above the text. That brings up the window in which I post the URL to be linked, and I paste in the URL. To get the link to a specific post, I just click on the title of the post, then copy the (permalink) URL.
Oh, I just figured out what the question was - I did it for Randy's Saturday night genealogy fun. I don't hit the "Publish post" button, but instead copy the html code that pops up in the window and insert it into the post I intend to use the link in. Does that sound better?ReplyDelete


text: Monday, August 05, 2013 New Publication Explains Key EHR Contract Terms A new resource gives physical therapists and other health care providers explanations of key terms and provisions used in contracts with EHR technology developers. The new EHR Contracts: Key Contract Terms for Users to Understand from the Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology (ONC) provides an overview of commonly used contract provisions and technical insight. The guide defines and explains such terms as "indemnification and hold harmless," "limitation of liability," and "termination and wind down," which ONC says can help providers choose an appropriate EHR system and help protect practices from safety risks that may arise from EHR adoption. The guide notes, however, that it is not legal advice, and it's wise to have an experienced attorney review the terms of any specific contract and situation. More resources are available on APTA's EHR webpage.

FAIRMONT, W.Va. (AP) — The $1.1 billion cost of selling a coal-fired power plant from one FirstEnergy Corp. subsidiary to another is "a reasonable price for protection" against the more expensive option of buying electricity on the spot market to meet demand in West Virginia, a utility executive said Monday.
With a state Public Service Commission hearing on the transaction just a week away, vice president for compliance Jim Haney defended the proposed sale of the Harrison Power Station as a good deal for some 500,000 FirstEnergy customers and an effective way to meet a 950 megawatt shortfall.
Allegheny Energy Supply plans to transfer full ownership of the plant in Haywood to Mon Power, which currently owns only 20 percent. In exchange, Mon Power would sell its 8 percent share of the Pleasants Power station at Willow Island to AE Supply, giving that subsidiary 100 percent ownership.
The deal would provide about 1,500 MW, or enough to supply about 1 million homes, Haney said. That would meet demand through 2020, he said, and excess capacity could be sold on the spot market to help offset costs to consumers.
The media briefing came on the eve of Ohio-based FirstEnergy's shareholder meeting in Morgantown, where protests are expected over both the power plant sale and labor issues. It's the first time the annual meeting has been held outside Akron.
Critics of the power plant transaction say it's overvalued, concentrates so heavily on coal that there is no diversity in the fuel mix and does little to promote cost savings through energy efficiency. They want the PSC to order the company to reduce demand for electricity by investing in things such as home insulation that would make customers more efficient users.
Opponents also complain the deal would raise rates for all but the largest industrial customers.
The utilities are seeking a temporary transaction surcharge to cover the costs of the deal, and those surcharges would eventually become part of their new base rates. They say a typical residential customer using 1,000 kilowatt-hours per month would pay less than $1 more than last year's monthly bill.
Some critics have also suggested that FirstEnergy solicit bids for the power it needs or try to buy other generation plant.
"Certainly, that's something we've looked at," Haney said, but none in West Virginia would suit the utility's needs. Nor are many power plant for sale.
Haney also said independent appraisers who routinely assign values to power plants dispute that Mon Power is overpaying. Using comparable-sales data is problematic, he added, because each plant is unique.
"We believe this is a reasonable price for protection against potentially higher prices for electricity and capacity on the spot market," he said, "and for a plan that would immediately erase existing and future shortfalls."
The value of the plant will be among the focal points at the public hearing, set for May 29-31 in Charleston. Haney said the hearings could continue into the following week.
FirstEnergy expects the PSC will take several months to render a decision on the deal, which would also require the approval of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission.
Supporters of the deal include Local 304 of the Utility Workers Union of America, the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers' District 4, the West Virginia Coal Association, the United Mine Workers of America and Pennsylvania-based CONSOL Energy.
The Harrison Power Station employs more than 200 workers and supports the operation of CONSOL's Robinson Run mine, where a belt feeds coal directly from the mine to the plant. That mine employs some 400 people.

Eagles coach Andy Reid said he has no plans to scrap the "wide 9" defensive front that defensive line coach Jim Washburn brought to the team this season. Reid also affirmed that Juan Castillo will remain defensive coordinator.
The Eagles are among the worst teams in the league against the run, and were gashed early against Buffalo.
"You obviously saw it worked the second half very effectively," Reid said. "Anything new, you have to work with and work out the wrinkles and get it right. They players have to learn it, the coaches have to learn it. it's a joint effort there."
Asked what the Eagles did better in the second half that allowed them to improve against the run, Reid said, "We tackled better. I thought the defensive ends and tackles did a better job up front. I thought Juan did a good job of getting the players in a position that we wanted."
Bills players were dismissive of the scheme and of the Eagles, marveling over how easily they moved through the Birds.
Reid repeated the mantra that his 1-4 team will keep working hard to get the problems they are facing corrected. He stressed fundamentals, particularly in relation to turnovers, which have kept an explosive offense grounded. The Birds have a minus-10 turnover differential.
"We're going to work our tail off to get it right," Reid siad. "We're not backing off a lick. That's our approach."
Sports Illustrated's Peter King, in his Monday Morning Quarterback feature today, called the Eagles "sloppy and dumb." King analyzed the play where Michael Vick threw an interception to Nick Barnett that Barnett ran in for a touchdown. King said rookie center Jason Kelce ran past the blitzer who forced Vick to unload, in order to double-team a defender who was already being blocked.
Asked about his team having that image, Reid said, "Everybody can have their opinion. We don't worry about those things. We worry about getting better and fixing the situation that we need to fix. It's America. Everybody can do that. We need to make sure we focus on the things that we need to get better at."
Asked whether the team is still listening to him, Reid said, "I think all the guys are in."
"It's my football team," he said. "I've got to get it right. We'll do this thing as a football team. You talk to the guys and some of the coaches, everybody is being accountable. We've just to work through it, and get it right. That's the best thing about football. It's a team sport."
On the injury front, safety Jarrad Page has a stinger. Reid said he was being checked out.
Defensive end Trent Cole and left tackle Jason Peters did not play Sunday and Reid said it would be a stretch for them to be ready against Washington. He said both players were making progress.
Asked whether he thought the players were pressing, Reid said, "Do they want to win a game? Absolutely, so do the coaches and everybody else. There is a certain process you can through and you go through it. I wouldn't say a tipped ball is pressing. I don't see that as a problem with the turnovers."
Overall: "There are some good things we can do to take out of this game. I explained this to the team when things are not looking good in people's eyes. I thought the effort was good. And as the game went on, we got better. The thing that has to change is the obvious is the turnovers. You don't turn it over, you get better results … You can't give good football teams 10 points off of turnovers … With that, we'll go back and work on those things and we'll get better as we go forward and maintain the intensity level we had particularly through the second half. I thought we did some good things there."
Asked how he can correct the turnover issue, Reid said: "I've said this before, it's important from my seat to make sure I evaluated to put the players in the right position to make plays and if the player is put in the right position that he makes the play. I would like to go that evaluation first. I go through with the coaches on both sides and I do the same things with players as do the coaches. You go back and eliminate turnovers and, 'Are we concentrating? Are we moving our feet or whatever it might be that is causing the turnovers?
On personnel changes: "I haven't done anything today."
About making changes during the bye week, "I'm glad we have a chance to play the Washington Redskins this week and I don't worry about anything after that week."


text: Thursday, September 27, 2012 New in the Literature: Barefoot and Minimalist Shoe Running (US Army Med Dep J. 2012 Oct-Dec:25-30) Barefoot and minimalist shoe wearers reported a more anterior footstrike than traditionally shod runners, say authors of an article that will be published in the October-December issue of the US Army Medical Department Journal. Traditionally shod runners were more likely to report injuries of the lower extremities than runners who wear minimalist shoes. For this retrospective descriptive epidemiology survey, the authors recruited 2,509 runners (1,254 male, 1,255 female) aged 18 to 50 to complete an anonymous online survey. The survey assessed running tendencies, footstrike patterns, shoe preferences, and injury history. Reported footstrike patterns were compared among 3 shoe groups: traditionally shod, minimalist shoes, and barefoot runners. Overall and specific anatomical injury incidence was compared between traditionally shod and minimalist shoe-wearing runners. They did not include 1,605 runners in the analyses due to incomplete data or recent changes in footstrike patterns and/or shoe selection. Shoe selection was significantly associated with reported footstrike (χ² (4df) =143.4). Barefoot and minimalist runners reported a more anterior footstrike than traditionally shod runners. Traditionally shod runners were 3.41 times more likely to report injuries than experienced minimalist shoe wearers (46.7% shod vs 13.7% minimalist, χ² (1df) =77.4, n=888). Minimalist shoe wearers also reported fewer injuries at the hip, knee, lower leg, ankle, and foot than traditionally shod runners. Additional longitudinal prospective research is required to examine injury incidence among various footstrike patterns and shoe preferences, the authors add. The article was written by APTA members Donald L. Goss, PT, DPT, PhD, OCS, ATC, and Michael T. Gross, PT, PhD, FAPTA. Comments I can only speak for myself. I am 57 years old and have been running consistently since my early 20s. 3.5 years ago I made the transition to running barefoot. The changes in my feet and reduction of injury has been nothing short of miraculous. I am now running 80-100 miles a week consistently with no problems. I have never had this much fun running. I did face some initial challenges, mostly from a bunion on my left big toe, but I proceeded with caution and worked through it. Now the bunion is gone and my toe continues to straighten out. My only regret is that I did not take a weekly photo to document the dramatic changes in my feet. When I'm not running in my bare feet, my shoe of choice is the Invisible Shoe. All the fun and benefits of being barefoot, while providing a layer of protection. Awesome product! Posted by bill on 9/27/2012 5:13 PM Seems legit but would prfer that over half the subject's data not have to be excluded. I'm a very theoretical scientist - alwas examining how work could have been better. I love my minimalist shoes! would be interesting to hear about muscle strains etc. over tome I guess those reduce as runners adapt to tje ne running style? Posted by Joy on 9/27/2012 11:15 PM I'm concerned about stress fractures to the heads of the metatarsals Posted by Jennifer Robbins -> >LTc=I on 9/28/2012 9:44 PM I understand the process of barefoot running having benefits for individuals. I personally feel that there is a tremendous benefit in having the support of a good running shoe to assist in the prevention of soft tissue, musculoskeletal joint structures and integumentary issues on multiple running surfaces. I think that supporting the foot structure as it changes with varying age development is crucial. Posted by Heidi Harris on 9/29/2012 9:53 AM I think this limited study shouldn't be used to say one method is better than another for all runners. It doesn't study the quality of shoe or preparation habits training habits of runners in both groups. Are those runners who are willing to try barefoot running a different type of runner, with different training? Did they switch due to specific issues so it's only valid for runners who used poor patterns before switching shoes? Too many details for good understanding. Do orthotics in standard shoes level the results??? And did it include runners who tried barefoot shoes and switched back to standard shoes? Posted by Ellyn Dunford on 9/29/2012 11:24 AM The research and conclusions appear to rely on a self-reported estimation of one's footstrike pattern. How, exactly, does one accurately know what their footstrike pattern is without third-party analysis? Seems like a flawed research design with suspect assumptions. Posted by Bob Schroedter on 10/5/2012 11:53 AM Perhaps, some population will be benefit from these type of shoes but for people that already has poor ankle biomechanics, those shoes will not give enough foot support and cushioning for long distance running Posted by Yvoinne Nguyen on 10/5/2012 7:38 PM Like Bill (from 9/27 post) I can speak from a sample size of one. I am a "clydsedale", weighing around 200 pounds, so I had always subscribed to the "more is better" philosophy regarding cushion and support shoes. I have made a gradual progression to mininmal shoes and plan to continue to bare foot eventually. I am faster and have less aches and pains with minimal footwear, with one exception. About a year into my transition I tore a calf muscle 12 miles into a half marathon. I attribute this injury to the classic "too much, too soon" rule regarding my speed and mileage. So my take home point is that, while I'm convinced that minimal is the way to go, we have to be careful (and advise our clients likewise) and bear in mind that most of us have to re-learn to walk and run barefoot. Posted by Jake on 10/8/2012 2:53 PM I find the whole barefoot/minimalist running fad comical. Anyone who has run track, with good coaching and mechanics, knows about fore/midfoot running. Look at the bottom of track shoes, where are the spikes? In the forefoot! And we ran on dirt or now synthetic surfaces to avoid overstressing our metatarsals (to a degree). And we ran on the road with the same mechanics, without heel striking. But recreational folks feet are not prepared to handle concrete barefoot or in minimalist shoe, unless they have good mechanics, strong calf musculature and have gradually progressed into fore/midfoot running. This progression can take months to over a year to tolerate. Posted by Ken B on 10/10/2012 1:11 AM This is to bill.how long did it take for your toes and bunion to straighten out.I've just gone into NB minimal.got bruised feet n aches n pains but my bunions started to give me sharp pains.is this due to the toe bmoving how it should.how did you get through the bunion problem for it to go.should I just ride through my pains till my feet gain the strength.I've been in orthotics for 4 months n they made my feet worse.I also have fallen arches which I was told wat caused my bunion.but I changed podiatrists n he says to give the minimal a go n that bunions can come from a number of reason.let is know what you went through.as I'd just like the price of mind to know it csnbe done cos I don't want to have to go through the dreaded surgery on the feet.

"Welcome to PSU on this beautiful spring-like day," Dean William Easterling joked with a packed auditorium on a cold, snowy 16th of March, at the kick-off of the College of Earth and Mineral Sciences' (EMS) annual recruiting event. All students who are considering an EMS major are invited to attend the Earth and Mineral Sciences Exposition (EMEX). Over 425 prospective students and their families, from as far away as Hawaii, didn't let the weather deter them from exploring the eleven bachelor degree options EMS offers.
"We're one of the oldest colleges at Penn State, with an emphasis on mining at first, but growing to include diverse options in geography, geosciences, meteorology, materials sciences and engineering, and energy and mineral engineering—with all five programs ranked in the top ten nationally by any service you want to pick," Easterling said. "And our students get jobs in their fields!"
Each EMS department provided opportunities to meet and discuss majors and careers with current students, faculty, staff, and alumni. Sessions on weather forecasting, natural disasters, fire ecology, advanced materials, and energy solutions for the future were available. "Hands-on" demonstrations and tours also engaged visitors. One of the most popular features of this year's EMEX also speaks to the long history of EMS: a tour of the old ventilation laboratory.
Built in 1930 in the basement of the Steidle Building, it was considered a cutting edge research facility for its time. Advancements in effective mine ventilation practices, modeling of mine ventilation systems, as well as the control of diesel emissions and respirable dust in the underground mine environment were made possible by using this laboratory to recreate actual mine ventilation conditions.
But that was then. Now days you're more likely to find mining and mineral process engineering students using computer applications and completing course work and research on innovative mining systems, geomechanics, rock mechanics, materials handling, mine management, health and safety, and other issues at the forefront of mining science and technology.
Not all the attention was on academics at EMEX either. The event is all student-led, and chairperson Devin Boyer (meteorology) and his co-chairs Ryan Belz (meteorology), Nick Philips (petroleum and natural gas engineering), Rob Englund (earth and mineral sciences) and Everleigh Stokes (geography) incorporated opportunities for prospective students to experience college life. Those arriving on March 15 could attend classes and shadow their student sponsors for the day. Residents of Irvin Hall, the Special Living Options for EMS, sponsored an evening of ice-breaking activities and plenty of time to talk about life at Penn State. While students socialized with their peers, parents and families were enjoying a dinner at the Atherton Hotel where they asked questions of the deans, faculty, staff, alumni, and EMS students.
"I love EMEX because it's a chance to show off and share what we have here," said Everleigh Stokes. "We have a small college and a really strong community."
Dean Easterling echoed this sentiment. "We're a small college within a large university. With 136 tenure line professors, you will get to know your professors. And they're tackling the big challenges from glacier dynamics to new cancer delivery materials and much more. We don't just have good textbooks here. We write the textbooks."
The snow was still falling at the close of EMEX, but many didn't seem to be in a hurry to leave. "I was worried that I would feel overwhelmed at Penn State," said one high school senior from New Jersey. "But EMEX definitely helped me see what EMS is all about."

- No activity logs, no connection logs
- No DNS blocking
- 256-bit encryption
Your DNS traffic is your business. Protect it.Get ExpressVPN
DNS explained
This video will explain how exposed DNS requests put your privacy at risk, and how ExpressVPN's private, encrypted DNS is both safer and faster.

What is DNS?
Every website on the internet is identified by a string of numbers called an IP address, and each site's IP address has a corresponding URL that is easier for humans to remember. The DNS, or domain name system, is how your device translates the URL that a human types or clicks into that string of numbers. So you don't have to!
ExpressVPN is a VPN service with its own private DNS. Unlike other VPN services, whenever you're connected through ExpressVPN, your DNS activity is protected by the same encryption and tunneling protocol that covers the rest of your internet traffic, because ExpressVPN runs its own DNS on every VPN server.
No third parties
Many VPN providers use third-party DNS, which isn't protected by the same encryption and tunneling protocol as the VPN, leaving it vulnerable to manipulation.
ExpressVPN runs its own DNS on every VPN server, so even in less-secure areas like airports, cafés, and other public Wi-Fi hotspots, your DNS requests always get where they're going.
Use a private, zero-knowledge DNS
Third-party DNS servers log personally identifiable data from your traffic, like when and where you tried to access what site. Anyone with access to that server could check DNS logs that link back to you.
ExpressVPN's built-in DNS is zero-knowledge, meaning your personally identifiable data is never stored on any server.
256-bit encrypted DNS
Other VPN services offer to encrypt your traffic, but leave DNS requests exposed. Because ExpressVPN runs its own DNS, all your traffic, including DNS lookup, is protected from attacks and manipulations with best-in-class encryption.
No DNS blocking or filtering
Because third-party DNS is often unprotected, intercepting your DNS requests via man-in-the-middle attacks is one of the easiest ways for governments, ISPs, and corporate entities to deny access to certain content.
ExpressVPN's DNS requests are encrypted and signed, making them safe from censorship, DNS filtering, phishing, and other manipulation. You'll even get quicker response times because your DNS requests never leave the VPN tunnel.
