Thanks…can't wait to see your pics!
Some really nice pictures, especially that first one of the view.
Right now Belize, Puerto Rico and St. Croix are on the list to research for honeymoon spots.
Are you guys Spanish speakers? We didn't really need to be in PV…everyone spoke decent English.
Funny you would ask this question. My husband and I were not able to go on our honey moon after our very small and intimate wedding as he is a construction Superintendent, and was on a job. Can't just up and leave these things.
Well, we planned around the first of this month to take our first honeymoon at the end of the month. We are both excited. Yesterday my husband even bought me some roses to get me more excited. Will tell you how it goes when we get back, if and when it all comes true. hahahaha. I am a very patient woman. We both know that work and other important situations do about, so we just say our prayers, and go from there. If it's our time, God will let us know.
I can't wait to hear! Where are you going?
We are going to Ruidoso & Cloudcroft. It will be a lot cooler than what we are experiencing here, thank goodness, and will be able to break out a sweater maybe. hahahah. lOVE fALL CLOTHING. HAHAHAHA. OMGoodness, it's Tuesday. Packing today. I must get it done today and tomorrow, then watch my husband cram his things into his case last minute, and he thinks he is so precise. LmFO. Laughing my fanny off. hhahah.
11 years with this Man. It's fun to watch them. Last night told him some romantic things, and had a rose behind my back, and asked him if he would accept this rose. Well…… Little did I know…. Tears came, and ofcourse the yes, (who wouldn't with a gal of my Caliber and Patience.) and the biggest HUG. So I know our Honeymoon will be filled with laughter, tickles, and hugs. Lots of love and good Vibes to all.
Sounds like you guys are gonna have a great time!

Amid pandemic, Joe Burrow's hometown finds way to celebrate NFL Draft Day
2 years 9 months 4 days ago Thursday, April 23 2020 Apr 23, 2020 April 23, 2020 7:38 PM April 23, 2020 in News

By: Sydney Kern
ATHENS, OH – It's a day many in Joe Burrow's hometown have been anticipating: NFL Draft Day. But cheering on one of their own as he becomes the number one overall draft pick won't go as planned.
"We were planning on some big parties at the bar and a lot of house parties," said Tom Kostohryz, a family friend of the Burrows. "It was going to be a great night. It still will be."
Instead of hitting the town, people will be watching the draft in their living rooms.
"They'll be a lot of beverages drank at home instead of with everyone at a bar, but they'll be a lot of celebrating," Tom said.
The town had big events lined up. A parade in Joe Burrow's honor was in the works but has been put on the back burner due to the coronavirus.
"We had a little committee and we got together with the mayor and decided to have a Joe Burrow Day in Athens. In fact, the mayor emailed Coach O a couple of times, we were hoping to get him to come in," Tom said.
But the excitement is not lost.
"I hope that he goes to a team in Ohio so that we don't have to travel out of state," said 10-year-old Blake, who lives in Athens.
For a super fan like Blake, who's met Joe several times and was even gifted tickets to the National Championship, being able to watch the Heisman winner drafted into the NFL on his TV is just as enjoyable.
"We had to go pick up some Cincinnati gear," said his mom, Robin. "It's nice to have a role model like Joe for the kids, because he doesn't forget where he came from. It's good to see local kids around here have something to look forward to and say, 'hey I actually know him. He's from my hometown.'"
A local t-shirt shop encouraged people to wear purple and gold Thursday to support Joe while social distancing. Regardless of the setting, the community of Athens and The Plains are ready to cheer on Joe Burrow Thursday night and support his new team.
"It'll be Bengal town come football season," Tom said.

A few weeks ago Eric and I had our 14 year old nephews over for the weekend. One of our discussions was them telling us what they thought we were good at. Of course, they told Eric he was good with computers and I was good at photography but they also said that I know fashion! At first this took me by surprise because I think of myself as one of the least fashionable people I know. I definitely have my own personal style but I think of it as eclectic and one that will not be gracing a cover of a fashion magazine any time soon.
I mulled this comment over for about a day when I realized that they could be right. Earlier that day I was telling the boys how they should dress to go on a date because girls like it when a guy dresses nice (at the moment the boys are in this t-shirt and athletic pants phase). This conversation is probably why they think I'm good at fashion but it got me thinking that I am constantly asked by clients about what they should wear for pictures. When this question comes up, I refer my clients to this awesome blog post from another photographer, Lina Jarmond. Lina has a great visual reference for color schemes and outfits. She also has some other great references under the "What to Wear Guide" section on her blog.
P.S. If the blog link is not there, please contact me and I can send you the information too.

This history book explore the political, economic, social and cultural facets of Puerto Rico since 1898, when the United States invaded the island. The intended audience of this book are both students and readers in general that are interested in learning about the history of Puerto Rico and how U.S. invasion impacted the island. This book is written in a clear, concise and coherent matter. The book is composed of fifteen chapters and its contents is divide in to two periods, before and after World War ɪɪ. According to Ayala and Bernabe, "Each epoch exhibits two distinguishable phases: an initial period of economic expansion…dominant political parties, and labor organizations are put in place, and a succeeding phase of economic slowdown in which established structures and institutions are subject to increased stress"(2).
The book begins with a discussion of how the United States invaded Puerto Rico in 1898 and the fact that little opposition was encounter. Some of the immediate changes in Puerto Rico were the separation between church and state, freedom of speech, rise of labor movement, revival of important economic sectors such as the sugar industry, the organization of political parties such as the Partido Federal and Partido Republicano and the Foraker act of 1900. The Foraker act is particularly important because it ended the military government imposed by the U.S. and established a civilian government, and imposed a tariffs on goods coming from the island. Ayala and Bernabe argue that "through the Foraker Act, Congress both affirmed U.S. rule over Puerto Rico and defined the island as foreign territory"(26).
The invasion of the U.S. cause a drastic change in the economy of Puerto Rico. Once the Foraker Act of 1900 allowed Puerto Ricans to trade with the U.S. freely, the sugar industry, tobacco and needlework industries grew enormously. Ayala and Bernabe argued against the conclusion made by Carmen Gonzalez Munoz that the Foraker Act did not represented a colonial system, rather it was a "space of negotiation"; to this Ayala and Bernabe responded that "in fact, dependent colonial bourgeoisies have existed and prospered in many places. This does not negate the existence of colonialism, nor does it dilute the phenomenon to a mere 'space of negotiation'" (40). Furthermore, the issues of landless laborers are raised and the authors use the data provided by the census to indicate that the reduction in farms was not significant, that in fact it increased after 1898.

Q: Windows 10 digital license I'm not sure wheter this question belongs here but here it is..
I have a laptop upgraded from windows 8.1 to windows 10 with account X. Windows activation says that my windows is activated with a digital license linked to microsoft account.
I bought a new laptop that comes with windows 10. If I use the same account X on this new computer and Reset the old pc (without keeping files) will this old computer be able to be used with a different microsoft account? Or will he two windows licenses be linked to my microsoft account?
Sorry if I didnt explain well but english is not my main language.

A: Because the Digital Entitlement License is linked to the hardware, then "yes" you can wipe and reinstall, skipping entering the product key whenever it asks.
You can then add a "local account" (don't use a Microsoft account), and once it is up and running, it should authorize and activate.
In your (online) Microsoft Account settings, you would then go in and remove the laptop from your account via the Devices list using the "Remove Device" link.
At this point it ought to be safe to transfer. If you are passing the disk on to a 3rd party (e.g. selling it), you might want to do a "secure format" before the reinstall.

Fun weekend with Ogilvy's newest Account Executive. Congrats to Ben! A lucky client will be getting all of his attention. mAdBen took us on a tour of Ogilvy with its DonDraper-esque decor overlooking the Hudson. Later on MadMen TV, Maman Marie was naughty ZooBeeZoo. Those French Canadiennes, woo.
Dining not as exciting. Mario's on Arthur Avenue in the Bronx is a scene from Sopranos' central casting. If canned clams and stale pasta are authentic, then it is. Being with Betsey & Ben for lunch was molto bene. Flatiron's Madison Park sublime on a mild sunny afternoon. Dinner at The Black Duck, not so much.
Jack put the sarcastic inflection on 'Spanish major'. I thought it was very useful, but never used it in my career, that was my point. So, here's to all Spanish majors!
Hear! Hear! and well said! Congrats to Ben!
Yes, congrats to your Spanish major. World is his oyster.
what about us French majors??????
I was kinda one of those, too. Here's to you!

Researchers examined the outcomes of GLP-1 receptor agonist therapy in patients with heart failure.
The following article is a part of conference coverage from the American Heart Association Scientific Sessions 2021, being held virtually from November 13 to 15, 2021. The team at Cardiology Advisor will be reporting on the latest news and research conducted by leading experts in cardiology. Check back for more from the AHA Scientific Sessions 2021.
Use of glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists was linked to reductions in insulin dose, hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c), body weight, and hospitalization in patients with heart failure (HF), according to study results presented at the American Heart Association (AHA) Scientific Sessions 2021, held from November 13 to 15, 2021.
Study researchers sought to analyze treatment outcomes in 151 patients with HF who were treated with GLP-1 receptor agonists at the Cardiometabolic Center Alliance, Kansas City, Missouri, between January 2019 and December 2020. Outcomes were compared with baseline visit to last Cardiometabolic Center visit. The median follow-up time was 6.6 (3.7-11) months.
Of 151 total participants, 88 had reduced ejection fraction, and 64 had preserved ejection fraction. At baseline, 92% of the cohort had type 2 diabetes; the remaining 8% had prediabetes; and 27% were receiving sodium/glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT-2i). At last visit, 92% of patients remained on GLP-1 receptor agonists, and 64% were on SGLT-2i. For patients with reduced ejection fraction, time on GLP-1 receptor agonist therapy was a median 5.4 (3 to 9.7) months and, for patients with preserved ejection fraction, 6.1 (3.4-11.8) months.
From baseline to last visit, both reduced ejection fraction and preserved ejection fraction groups had reductions in median total daily insulin doses (from 60-39 units, and 53-31 units, respectively; P <.002) and mean percent body weight (-6.2% and -7.9%, respectively; P <.001). Mean HbA1c levels also decreased among patients with reduced ejection fraction (from 7.7% to 6.9%; P <.001) and preserved ejection fraction (from 7.2% to 6.8%; P <.002).
Patients treated at the Cardiometabolic Center had lower rates of heart-failure-related hospitalization or urgent visits compared with prior care (13.6% vs 34.1% in reduced ejection fraction ([P <.001] and 15.99% vs 33.3% in preserved ejection fraction [P =.01]). Side effects were observed in 31% of patients, but only 6% discontinued GLP-1 receptor agonist therapy.
Researchers indicated that GLP-1 receptor agonist therapy was well tolerated and associated with reductions in insulin dose, HbA1c, and body weight. They also noted that the use of GLP-1 receptor agonists was further linked to a decreased risk for hospitalization or urgent visits for HF.

They say they have a 100% rate for solving clients' issues, with a support service available 24/7, 365 days a year.
Kinsta hosting comes with an intuitive admin interface, daily backups, and provides site's migrations. Also, you can take your work up on staging environments and publish when you're ready.
When people approach hosting services for their websites, they first look into speed, security, and backups. Few of them take this further and think of running their businesses from anywhere without inconsistent delivery. Kinsta offers all these, and it also lets you manage your resources and focus on site content.
There must be a reason some of the Fortune 500 clients like GE, Intuit, Drift, Buffer, and MariaDB, Tripadvisor, Asos, Ubisoft use Kinsta services.
Powered by the Google Cloud Platform and its Premium Tier network, Kinsta's aim was to optimize its performance and become a strong, reliable, and secure WordPress hosting service for its customers. The Google team of experts wrote a comprehensive study case about the Kinsta hosting, and mention that "On the Google Cloud Platform infrastructure, with live migration and data redundancy features, Kinsta and its clients don't have to worry about extended, unexpected downtime." Google is a trusty global company, and it's constantly improving the optic network speed, reaching over 10,000TB per second. Just think about how fast loads something you type in Google Search, your Gmail conversations or the videos you play on YouTube. These Google services and others are using the Premium Tier Network that performs requests within high-quality speed. And that's just one reason to take your website for a driving test on a managed Kinsta host.
What is the page loading speed?
On their documentation about the Cloud locations, Google says that their platform "meets rigorous privacy and compliance standards that test for data safety, privacy, and security." So, as a Kinsta customer and WordPress user, you can select from over 18 global data center locations to match your sites closer to your visitors. If your audience is mainly from Belgium, Frankfurt, to Hong Kong, Singapore, Tokyo and anything in between, positioning your WordPress installs closer, will ensure lower latency and a faster page loading speed.
From small websites to large ones, Kinsta can host any WordPress blog. To get outstanding results, besides a great host, your WordPress theme must be well coded and optimized for speed. For example, Newspaper and Newsmag themes are built from ground up with a clean code structure and with a host like Kinsta, your website will load fast. You can always check out the servers' status and see in real time how's the uptime going.
For better user experience, Kinsta uses the LXD and LXC systems to create container management. Each WordPress website has its private container that includes the required software resources to run properly such as Linux, Nginx, PHP or MySQL.
From the panel called "MyKinsta", you can manage all your websites that use their WordPress hosting services. This interface lets you create SSL certificates, track visitors, bandwidth usage, response times, and many more. Also, you can give access to more people in your team.
While other companies might offer shared hosting, Kinsta doesn't. Neither of the unique containers shares information between others, or even your own WordPress websites (if you have multiple ones). Kinsta offers support for complex framework installations, such as Bedrock, reverse proxy configurations, while giving access to SSH and WP-CLI features on all their pricing plans.

Joe Copp is hired by old buddy ex-cop Tom Chase to protect him from the FBI. Chase is the security chief for a defense contractor, and Uncle Sam is following him and setting up his executives for a sting. Sure enough, two of them are stung.


Possibly validating that time Larry David was forced to talk to Roger Friedman at a party, Roger Friedman reports over at Showbiz 411 that Roger Friedman was absolutely correct when he said Larry David had written a Broadway play. Though details are scarce, Friedman says the show is titled Shiva—as in the Jewish period of mourning, not the Hindu deity—and that David is producing along with Scott Rudin, though it's unclear whether Jerry Seinfeld will be involved, as previously rumored. What is clear is that David will be taking on his first Broadway role on actual Broadway, reportedly at Rudin's urging—possibly because Rudin is angling for a disaster that will get him out of the producers game altogether. Meanwhile, David will prep for opening night by engaging in a series of mishaps and misunderstandings that cause injury and insult to his co-stars, the sounds of comical tubas following him wherever he goes.

When Pavlov's dogs started salivating in response to a ringing bell, something happened in their brains—a memory was encoded. Over a century later scientists are still figuring out how memories are physically represented in the brain. One lingering question has been whether or not the same set of neurons is activated when a particular memory is formed. Researchers at the Johnson Lab at the Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences in Bethesda, Maryland may have found the answer.
In their study, "Pavlovian Fear Conditioning Activates a Common Pattern of Neurons in the Lateral Amygdala of Individual Brains," (PLoS ONE) the researchers set out to determine what happens when the brain forms a specific memory—does it use the same group of neurons to encode that memory? The brains of a population of rats, which had undergone Pavlovian auditory fear conditioning were examined. The research team zeroed in on the lateral amygdala–a region of the brain where neuron changes are known to occur in this kind of fear memory conditioning. Their results suggest that the formation of a Pavlovian conditioned fear memory is associated with a unique and stable neural topography in the amygdala.
Neurolucida played a significant role in their analysis, providing solutions for a variety of challenges. "From brain section alignment to mapping the 2D coordinates of activated neurons and quantitative analytics, Neurolucida was invaluable to this work," said Dr. Luke Johnson.
To determine which neurons in the lateral amygdala were involved in the formation and storage of Pavlovian fear conditioned memories, the researchers used a molecular marker of neuron plasticity (pMAPK/ERK). The first step in determining whether or not the neurons involved in fear memory formation were spatially organized was to align different brains and compare common locations—a technically challenging maneuver requiring precise stereotaxic alignment, according to Dr. Johnson.
"We devised a novel solution to this problem by using Neurolucida to trace and measure anatomical landmarks that could serve as a reference point for brain section alignment," he explained. After successfully matching brain sections, Dr. Johnson and his team established a consistent area for mapping activated neurons across different brains by using Neurolucida to trace anatomical boundaries of the amygdala based on a digital image from a standardized rat brain atlas.
"Pavlovian fear conditioning activates a complex, non-uniform population of neurons in the amygdala," said Dr. Johnson, "making pattern analysis based on visual inspection alone difficult." To capture differences in the complex spatial distribution of activated neurons, the research team devised a novel application of principle components analysis (PCA). Dr. Johnson explained that spatial PCA requires the neurons in an area be subdivided into "bins" that serve as variables in the analysis. With Neurolucida, they traced and constructed a virtual grid of bins that was aligned within the anatomical boundaries of the amygdala (Figure 1). XY coordinates of activated neurons were then mapped within the boundaries of the grid, and XY coordinates for each activated neuron were used to generate density maps, which allowed the researchers to visualize spatial distribution across brains.

I delicately balanced on a thin piece of wire as it hung from one house to another . I was pretty much excited since there was gonna be a carnival here . Perfect ! I walked to the middle and stared at the moon ... It had rings around it a couple of days پہلے . " the weather is going to change isn't it Manie ? " I whispered . A gust of wind quickly passed and there standing in the air اگلے to me was The Voice in the Wind, my oldest and most greatest friend ever . Her ice blue eyes stared at me with a feeling that made everything melt away . She gently put her hand on my shoulder and whispered to me ( for her it's normal since she always whispered ) " Jack Frost is coming, he'll be arriving in a منٹ thanks to me again ! " I giggled slightly " Did آپ tell him that you're the one who takes him places yet ? " Melody smiled and shook her head . I smiled and looked down at a girl who was running away " hey, is that girl ok ? " Melody looked down at the girl as two girls ran after her, I was getting worried " c'mon ! " I کہا as I jumped down from the wire . I followed the two girls until they stopped at a dead end . " ارے ! Why're ya runnin we haven't دیا ya سینڈوچ yet ? " the blonde cracked her knuckles loudly . The girl with brown hair at the دیوار was moving back a bit . The other girl with Hazel hair moved closer and smirked " What ? Is the little girl crying like a baby now ? Too bad, I love making girls cry ! " The two were about to get closer when a snow ball hit them in the face . The brunette and I looked up to see Jack Frost . I guess she believes in him ! The girls looked around and got a bit scared " W-well we got to go ! " they ran off . The girl was still staring at Jack " ارے my cousin Jamie knows آپ ! " Jamie was she talking about Jamie Bennet ?
" I'm surprised Jack ! آپ insult just as good as آپ are at being a guardian ! "
" ... How do آپ always manage to find me Mel ? " I uncovered my ڈاکو, ہڈ and stared at a girl with sliver roses in her hair " Well hello Mello ! " Melody smiled " Hello Jack ! آپ must have met Catarina haven't آپ ? " The girl اگلے to melody waved her fingers .
" nice name ! "
" Is that what she کہا ? "
" nope ! That's just my way of saying that she told me a lot about her things ... She's very chatty so I always memorize it . "
Jack laughed just as Cattie came down . " what's so funny ? " I shrugged " nothing Catarina-" she covered Jack's mouth " dude, CALL . ME . CA-TTIE ! " she uncovered his mouth . " ok, Cattie ! " I smiled " this is great ! You're getting along perfectly ! " I hugged them . I felt them shrug but I didn't care, I let go of them after a منٹ . " Jack have آپ seen any signs of pitch ? "
" Who's Pitch ? " Jack and I looked shocked " آپ don't know who Pitch is ? " Cattie shook her head . " He's the Boogeyman . " Cattie suddenly burst out laughing " What ? Does the Boogeyman like to dance یا does the boogeyman prefer to be called Boogerman because he sneezes a lot ?! " Jack and I started giggling a bit but straitened up again " no, he brings nightmares . "

British Sweep For Muir, Wightman At New Balance Fifth Avenue Mile
by David Monti Thursday, September 15, 2022 10:27 am
By David Monti, @d9monti (c) 2022 Race Results Weekly, all rights reserved with permission to use
NEW YORK (11-Sep) — In a steady rain, Britain's Laura Muir and Jake Wightman capped their medal-winning seasons with impressive victories here today at the 41st running of the New Balance Fifth Avenue Mile, the world's largest and most prestigious road mile.
Muir, the 2022 World Athletics Championships 1500m bronze medalist who also won the European and Commonwealth 1500m titles this summer, blasted away from the field at halfway to win in a new race record of 4:14.8. Wightman, the 2022 world 1500m champion who also won a 1500m bronze medal at the Commonwealth Games and an 800m silver medal at the European Athletics Championships this summer, waited until the last stages of the race to slip ahead another Briton, Jake Heyward, and win his third Fifth Avenue title in 3:49.6. A total of 8501 runners finished the race, the second-highest total in event history.
Muir, who like Wightman represented Scotland in the Commonwealth Games, carefully planned her attack with coach Andy Young. They decided to bluff the field midway through the race where Muir would appear to be going for the halfway prime of $1000 before she would surely slow down to her regular race rhythm.
"We went out yesterday and looked at it and marked out where the halfway point was," Young told Race Results Weekly. "I said, 'if you go here (you) break the field apart. If you do that, it's like a double bluff. The people will think you're going for the halfway mark. You're going to catch them by surprise and keep going.'"
Muir did exactly that. She rapidly built a huge lead and her key rivals realized quickly that she wasn't coming back.
"I was like, well, Laura really wants the halfway bonus," said American Nikki Hiltz who finished second in 4:17.4, a time which would have won every previous Fifth Avenue Mile on the women's side except three. "I thought she was just going to skirt ahead to get the bonus, but she just never looked back." Hiltz added: "I was like, she's not slowing down."
Just before breaking the finish tape with her victory well in hand, the exhausted Muir eased up her pace just slightly. Had she slowed just a bit more she might have missed breaking Jenny Simpson's event record of 4:16.1 set in 2019. She said later that the win was all she wanted today.
"With the conditions, I wasn't thinking about times at all," Muir told Race Results Weekly. "I didn't realize it was that fast; I didn't actually look up at the clock when I crossed the line. I would have been disappointed, but the main thing was for me to win today, and I was just so chuffed that I could do that."
Third place went to unsponsored Eleanor Fulton, who ran a superb 4:18.0 to cap off a season where she set personal bests at 800m (2:00.45), 1500m (4:03.03), mile (4:23.65), and 3000m (8:44.68). Jemma Reekie, another Scot who was the race's defending champion, finished fourth in 4:18.3. Adelle Tracey, who was raised in Britain but now competes for Jamaica, got fifth in 4:19.2. Also of note, Japan's Nozomi Tanaka finished sixth in 4:19.3, the fastest time and highest place ever by a Japanese woman at the race. A total of 20 women competed in the elite race today, and 18 of them ran sub-4:30.
Wightman, a master tactician, did not concern himself with the halfway prime, and did not react when Germany's Sam Parsons scooted ahead to collect it. Instead, he stayed on the west side of Fifth Avenue close to the front of the pace and waited. And waited. And waited.
"All the advice I've ever had, and all of my own advice, is you can never leave it too late here," said Wightman, who won in both 2018 and 2021 in 3:53.5 and 3:49.5, respectively. "This is the biggest key. I didn't leave it too late because I won."
Indeed, as his 20 rivals ramped up the pace in the final quarter Wightman simply stayed with them until it was time to seal the win by accelerating in the final 100m, veering to the center of the roadway to break the tape. He was confident of his speed just having run three consecutive fast 800m races, including a personal best 1:43.65 in Brussels on September 2.
"The one good thing about running 800's the last few weeks is I knew my speed was as good as anybody's in the field. So, if it came down to the last 200 I should be able to hold on strong enough."
Heyward, who took fifth in the Commonwealth Games 1500m for Wales, was keying off of Wightman and was keen to win. He executed his strategy perfectly, but just couldn't match Wightman's sizzling top speed at the end.
"This is my second time here," said Heyward, who finished third at Fifth Avenue in 2021. "Last year, I judged it slightly wrong. Obviously, Jake's quite quick at the end. When he gets going, it's really hard to get back on his terms."
In the blanket finish which followed Wightman, American Sam Prakel got third in 3:50.4, Canadian Will Paulson finished fourth in 3:50.7, and American Cole Hocker got fifth and was given the same time as Paulson. Every man in the 21-athlete field broke four minutes.
Wightman, who upset Norway's Jakob Ingebrigtsen to win the world 1500m title, has had a dream season. In addition to winning medals at all three of this summer's championships, he lowered his 1500m personal best to 3:29.23, his mile best to 3:50.30, and his 3000m best to 7:37.81 (indoors). Winning again on Fifth Avenue was the perfect way to end his season.
"I couldn't have asked for it to have gone better," Wightman said of his 2022 season. "To finish here, like, this is probably my favorite meet of the whole year. So, to be able to win it just makes it sweeter."
After today's race, Sydney Maree's event record of 3:47.52 has now stood for 41 years. Maree set that mark in the very first edition of the race in 1981.

Barynn Garmold
Diamonds are a girl's best friend.
764 views · located in Veritas City.
a character in "Veritas Isle", as played by PrincessLala17
| Name: Barynn Ferinda Garmold | Age: 23 | Gender: Female | Sexuality: Bisexual | Height: 4'11" | Weight: 110lbs |
| Race/Species: Dwarf | Hair Colour: Dark brown | Eye Colour: Hazel | Skin Colour: Tanned | Trade: Jeweler |
Barynn is short, standing at only four feet and eleven inches in height, and she is of average weight for her height - not slender, not muscular or bulky, not overweight, but proportionate. Her light skin is always well-tanned. Her heart-shaped face is framed by a cascade of dark hair that falls in loose waves just past her shoulders. She has almond-shaped hazel eyes and thin lashes. Her nose is average, not terribly defined but not heavy either. She has thick lips that curve upwards. She doesn't typically wear much makeup, occasionally brushing some over her eyelashes to make them stand out more or putting some on her lips to make them glossy. Barynn tends to dress quite simplistically, opting for plain white and cream-coloured blouses with knee- or ankle-length skirts in various muted colours. She does, however, like to accessorize, always wearing a variety of jewelry pieces - all of which she handcrafted herself.
Barynn is not a people-person. Very independent and solitary, Barynn prefers to be alone. She prefers to spend much of her day inside, working on her trade, though she will relent and talk to people when it comes time to sell her goods. She is quiet and thoughtful, tending to entertain intrinsic thoughts and ideas while she does her work. In the evenings she likes to go out for a walk, though she will typically avoid people during her ventures away from home. When she does interact with others, she doesn't tend to be very verbose. She likes to let her jewelry speak for itself and she wants her customers to choose the jewelry that speaks to them without her input. She will answer questions that are posed, and she is always happy to help her customers find what they're looking for.
History/Bio:
Barynn was raised in an underground settlement far from Veritas Isle. She was always a strange child for a dwarf, though; while the other kids all enjoyed playing in the dirt and being close to the earth, she was repulsed by the dank, dark underground. She always longed for something more. She was one of eight siblings, neither oldest nor youngest, caught somewhere in the middle. As such, she was often overlooked by her parents and had quite a bit of freedom. Barynn was frequently caught trying to sneak away from the settlement, trying to find her way to the land above ground that she'd heard so much about. Her parents worried for her, but no matter how much they told her about the safety and comfort of their home, she still longed to see the land above.
As a child, Barynn took a liking to shiny things, so her people declared that she would be trained as a jeweler. She was taught to work with the metals and gemstones extracted from deep within the earth, and taught to design beautiful necklaces, rings, earrings, bracelets, anklets, and circlets. She enjoyed her trade, but she always felt like something was missing. The books talked about the way that jewels gleamed and glittered, but Barynn never saw the sparkle that she thought the jewels ought to have.
One day when Barynn was a teenager, their settlement played host to a guest from the surface world, a traveling merchant who wished to establish trade ties with the colony. The dwarves were eager to do business with the surface, but all Barynn wanted was to learn about the land up above. She took a liking to the merchant, spending a great deal of time with him and asking him to tell her all about the land from which he hailed. It was from him that Barynn learned about Veritas Isle, a cluster of floating islands in the sky. Barynn didn't know what a sky was, but it sounded incredible to her, and when the merchant left to return to his home, she begged him to take her with him. He didn't want to displease her people by going against the wishes of her parents, though, and declined.
Upon turning eighteen, Barynn decided that enough was enough. She wanted to explore the surface world, and now that she was an adult, there was little her family could do to stop her. She told her parents that she loved them, and she promised to write to them frequently from the surface world. She said goodbye to her brothers and sisters and nieces and nephews, bid her friends farewell, and set out for the surface world. One day, she decided, she would travel to Veritas Isle and see it for herself.

Penelo smiled and went on to get Luther his piece of pie. She set it in front of him and smiled at Barynn. "Thank you, dear. I believe that you can surpass what I have done. With your work and how young you are. I can't wait to see." She said and went to make the cups. "I have eight children. The oldest is thirty-four and the youngest is eight." She said happily before turning around and putting on some water for the tea. She wasn't going to go into the depressing bits of her miscarriages along the way and after Agis. They decided to stop after the last one. "What about you dear? Did you come with a family of your own or did you come alone? And if you did come alone that was a long journey by yourself and quite dangerous. Glad you found Luther before some creep did." She smiled.

Barynn held back a chuckle when she saw Luther being served his pie. She was flattered by Penelo's words, believing that her work could surpass that of the old woman. Barynn doubted it, but it was certainly something she could aspire towards. She would never admit it, and often denied it even to herself, but a large family was also something she aspired to. Not any time soon, of course, but perhaps one day... She smiled as Penelo asked her about herself. "I came alone," she responded shortly, pausing a moment before continuing. "I've always wanted to see the surface world. A traveling merchant told me about Veritas Isle, and when I was finally old enough to choose for myself, I left home. I stayed in a surface town near Bhagh-Nernwahrum for a while and worked for a jeweler there until I had saved up enough to come here." It was more than she'd opened up the entire time she'd been here, even to Luther, and she felt her face go slightly red, but continued. "The surface world is so beautiful. I couldn't imagine going back underground now... and I am grateful that Luther found me. He's been a great help." Okay, Barynn, it's time to stop talking now... she told herself, biting lightly on her tongue a little bit and giving Penelo a small smile.
Penelo poured the hot water in the cups and let the tea soak before giving it to them. She looked at the two and smiled, "Well it sounds like you had yourself a little adventure. Glad you made it safely." She sat down with her own cup and gently blew before sipping. "Luther is a good boy, he has helped a lot of people while on the island. He feeds the homeless and gives people a chance to strove. He saved a young girl and her baby, she stays just over there in one of my houses. She is a sweetheart and her boyfriend is too. I guess you could say I have adopted her into the family. My husband should be happy. And the grandkids that have popped up after he left." She said and waved a dismissive hand. "Anyway I have been blabbering away. Luther, did you even eat lunch yet?" She asked. Luther looked like he was caught doing something bad. "Uhh... no?" He said. Penelo shook her head, "Why don't you two stay for lunch she asked? Luther looked at Barynn, "Are you up for it?" He asked.
Barynn smiled as she listened to Penelo talking about how good Luther was. There was no doubt in the young dwarf's mind that Luther was every bit as good as Penelo was saying. He'd already done so much for her just in the time since she'd arrived, and it was good to know that he was just genuinely good rather than having some sort of other motivations. She held back another giggle when Penelo addressed Luther, entertained by the look on his face and the sheepishness of his response. When he looked to her, she smiled and nodded. "Yes," she replied in a small voice, but said nothing else.
Luther looked overjoyed, "We will stay." He loved her cooking and with her husband away she took joy in cooking for someone other than herself and her young son. Penelo had told him it was getting lonely. He children would stop by from time to time, but it wasn't like when they were younger and she had a house full. That is one of the reasons why she wanted to retire, so she could spend as much time with Agis as possible.
Penelo got up and went on about making lunch. There was a soft knock at the door and Penelo told whoever it was to come in. A redheaded girl and a tall white haired man walked in. Penelo smiled brightly, "Oh please tell me you were stopping by for lunch." She said. Garnet smiled, "We were going to come visit, but I would love whatever you are cooking, Pen." She smiled. Asham nodded, "Garnet was getting restless in the house and she wanted to come visit you." He said. Garnet looked at the tan skinned girl and smiled, "Hello, I am Garnet. This is Asham. Nice to meet you. And hello to you too, Luther. You look happy." She smiled, sitting down next to him and Asham next to her.
"Hello you two. I had pie." He said cheerfully. Garnet couldn't help but laugh.
"Ugh you are like a big kid, Luther." She said and shook her head.
Penelo stirred lunch and let it cook before sitting at the table. "Oh a full house, I am excited. It has been awhile." She said softly and Garnet took her hand. "You are more of a mother to me than my own. I had to come see you today." She said softly. Penelo held her hand softly. "And you fit right in to my family with that pretty red hair. Ugh... to have this color again." She smiled.
Barynn kept quiet while Penelo went to start cooking lunch. There suddenly came a knock at the door and Penelo called out for the person at the door to come in. A pair walked in, and Barynn watched them curiously, though she said nothing. The couple greeted Penelo and then Luther. The woman then smiled at Barynn and introduced herself as Garnet, and the man as Asham, before turning her attention to Luther and sitting beside him. Barynn smiled back, but didn't say anything to them, letting them interact with Luther and Penelo instead. She didn't know these people, so she didn't quite feel comfortable talking to them. It felt strange enough to have opened up so much to Penelo, having told her basically all there was to know about her: where she was from, why she had come to the surface, where she had been before coming to Veritas City...
Barynn shook her head slightly, more to herself than to anyone else, and snuck a quick glance at Luther before looking down at her ring, spinning it distractedly around her finger. Seeing Penelo's work already had her feeling inspired, though she knew that she was going to need to get a shop and some equipment before she could start working her new visions. She already knew that she wanted to make something special for Penelo as a thank-you gift. Having seen the woman's work, and the pieces she'd considered the best across a few of her series, Barynn had a feeling that she could figure out the older woman's style well enough to make her the perfect gift. She also wanted to make a gift for Luther, though she would still need some time to figure out what.
Penelo smiled and looked at Barynn. "This is Barynn, she will be taking my place as the city's jeweler. Oh... thinking about that. Barynn, I was wondering if you could make a baby bracelet for Garnet after her baby is born?" She asked. Garnet blushed and ran her hand over her growing tummy. Luther's happy face turned to that of one lacking any emotions. He got up and excused himself before walking out of the door. Garnet smiled big enough for the both of them. "If Penelo likes your work then it must be worth wild. If you could I would be more than happy to have your work on my child." She said softly.
Barynn noticed Luther's change in expression and the way he abruptly excused himself. Part of her wanted to follow him to make sure he was okay, but she wasn't quite comfortable enough in the situation for so bold a move. When she heard Garnet's words, though, she couldn't help but to smile. "Boy or girl?" she asked softly. It was perfectly possible that they didn't know yet, of course - underground they had no way to determine such a thing until the moment of birth itself - and if that was the case, she could easily prepare the bracelet and set in the stones after the child was born. There was also the possibility that they'd want a gender-neutral colour in the bracelet - she'd once made bracelets for a pair of newborn twins in her last town, and though both children had been little girls, the parents had wanted one bracelet to be green and the other to be yellow. More power to them, she figured. She glanced briefly towards the window, hoping to see Luther and figure out whether he was all right out there. She wasn't quite sure why he'd so abruptly left, especially since he'd seemed friendly with them before, when they'd first arrived.
Garnet smiled, "I have not a clue." She laughed softly and rubbed her tummy. "I am hoping a little girl." She said softly. A girl would be a lot easier for her and Asham to raise. She was so scared that if it was a boy it would turn out like his father and Garnet couldn't handle that. She wanted her baby to grow up to be like Luther and Asham... like anyone in the Keavaris family. Anyone who had a heart, she wanted that for unborn child. "If you will excuse me, I have to use the little girl's room." She smiled and hurried out of the kitchen. Penelo smiled and leaned over, "I can see you are worried about Luther. Give him time. He will come back." She said softly and went to her cooking. Asham smiled softly at her, "The pregnancy is a tender subject for Luther. He just needs some time to clear his head."
Luther had went for a walk to calm himself. He was still so pissed at his brother for doing that to Garnet. All he could see was rage and hatred for his own twin. He wanted nothing more than to shake his brother and make him make this right, but he couldn't. Garnet wanted nothing to do with James and who could blame her? She was so scared he would pay someone to take her baby.
Barynn nodded slightly. Baby girls were certainly adorable, so she could understand Garnet wanting one. She would have to go ahead and make the base for the bracelet, and then see what colour stone they wanted in it once the baby was born - unless, of course, there was something specific that Garnet wanted to begin with. Once she had her store set up, she'd look into it more closely. Then Garnet left, and Barynn was gently told that the pregnancy was a tender subject for Luther. Barynn couldn't help but to wonder why, but she suspected that was definitely not a question to ask. Perhaps Luther had hidden feelings for Garnet and was jealous of her and Asham? It seemed as reasonable as anything else she could come up with. She said nothing, simply gave a small nod and an equally small smile.
Penelo came back and and handed out the food, placing food for the two that went missing. She looked at Asham and he nodded. "Garnet is pregnant with Luther's twin brother's child. She didn't exactly consent to it." She said softly. "Luther is still upset with his brother about it." She smiled softly and sat down. Garnet came back and clapped her hands together. "Food." She giggled and sat back down before eating. Luther came in a few minutes later and sat down next to Barynn. "Sorry about that. Oh... this looks so good, Pen. Thank you." He said softly before smiling and eating.
Barynn blinked her hazel eyes in surprise as Penelo softly explained to her why Luther was upset. It made sense to her. Luther was so good - she could completely understand him being upset about his twin brother hurting others. The more she heard about Luther, the more she wondered how one man could possibly be so good. To care about and help others, to be so generous and kind... it seemed strange to her. There had to be a balance somewhere. Garnet came back a moment later, and Luther came back shortly after that. Briefly, Barynn laid her hand on his forearm. It was only a momentary, fleeting touch, but she hoped it would be somewhat reassuring anyways. After that, she started to eat.
Luther looked over at Barynn and nodded. He got what she was doing and it was sweet of her, he patted her hand softly, before going back to eating. Things were quiet for a bit before Agis came running in. "There is a dragon here momma!" He smiled and watched as Ofelia waddled in.
Barynn smiled a bit as she felt Luther pat her hand, presumably showing his appreciation for her reassuring touch. She turned her attention fully to her food, quite delighted with the taste of it. Penelo was an excellent cook, an excellent jeweler, clearly an excellent mother...was there nothing this woman couldn't do? Already, Barynn was finding that she admired Penelo immensely. If she grew to be even half the woman Penelo was by the time she reached the older dwarf's age, she'd definitely consider it a success in life. There was silence for a short while until Penelo's little boy, the one who'd been sent off with the gift, came bounding into the house, accompanied by a pregnant woman, talking about a dragon. Barynn raised an eyebrow curiously, but said nothing. She hoped they were in no danger and that the dragon talk was nothing more than the overactive imagination of a small child.

Ofelia walked in with Agis and sighed. "Agis sweetie you cant just announce that, some people panic." She said and looked to see people she didnt know at all and laughed nervously. "Ah, he wont hurt anybody please dont be alarmed..I train them, you're all perfectly safe I promise." She said and then walked over to Penelo. "I came over to say thanks for the blankets, I really love them. Theyre the cutest, and I cant wait to use them. Well I mean I can, i got another month of looking like a beach ball with limbs, But the little one is gonna be so cute with them!" She said with a smile.
Penelo smiled, "I am glad you love them, you can thank Agis for them really though. I was going to make jewelry, but he insisted on something that the baby would actually need." She huffed playfully at him. He giggled and ran out to go play with the dragons. Garnet looked up at Ofelia and then her belly. "I don't think you look all that big really." She said softly, her own hand on her stomach. Luther looked at Ofelia's belly and then Garnet's and stayed quiet. Asham caught on and leaned down, whispering something in her ear. She nodded, "Well it was nice to have lunch with you, mom. I have to go take my medicine and a nice nap. You all have a good one. Oh! Before I got. I am Garnet. You are Ofelia, I heard you married Nasir and you owned the ranch next door. It was nice to finally meet you. Till we see each other again. Bye!" She said sweetly and Penelo about melted. "You have a good nap, dear." She said and walked them to the door. They discussed some things before Penelo coming back. Luther had gathered everyone's dishes when they were done and went to wash them. Penelo walked over to Ofelia and rubbed her belly. "I can't wait to meet you and Nasir's beautiful baby. Ugh... he is going to be so happy when he returns. He is just like his father. I would watch him when he things no one is watching. You might see him cry." She winked and Luther shook his head chuckling.
With everybody off talking amongst themselves - Garnet and her man on their way out, Penelo talking to the new pregnant girl, Ofelia, and Luther off starting to wash the dishes - Barynn was feeling increasingly uncomfortable. She stayed in her spot at the table, quietly twirling her ring around her finger. She didn't mind the solitude; it gave her some time to think. She had all sorts of ideas floating around inside her head about the jewelry she was going to make once she had a building. Over the course of her travels from her old home to her new one, she'd seen and learned so much, and she couldn't wait to see how that would carry over into her work. First, of course, she would need to buy a shop and get it furbished with the equipment and tools she would need.
Luther finished and dried everything off before putting them away. He loved it here. He had told her everything about why they came here and the kidnapping. Her response was a smile and how she got a grandbaby out of it. No a judgmental tone in her voice and she never treated him differently. She said her husband left with eight children and would come home to eleven and four grandchildren, one on the way. When he walked back in he smiled and looked at Barynn. "Are you ready to go? Anywhere you would like to do or would you like to roam around by yourself? He asked.
Barynn quietly stood from her chair just as Luther was coming back into the room. She gave him a small smile in return when he smiled at her, and then listened to his question. "The real estate agent Rowan suggested...?" she suggested in a soft voice, pulling out the piece of paper that Sophie had given her with the address on it. She'd love to get started as soon as possible on finding a building for her shop. If she got a building and got it equipped with the stuff she needed, she might even be able to get started on making some jewelry while she waited for all the paperwork to be finished. That, of course, entailed getting a building first.
Luther smiled, "I can take you there. No problem." He said. They walked past Penelo, "we are going to be heading out thank you for everything. I will make sure to come over soon." He said. Penelo smiled ear to ear, "You are very welcome! Don't forget l, Barynn, tomorrow we have them at meeting. I will set up tea and snacks too. So come ready." Luther couldn't help but smile, Penelo was such a kind person. He strived to be someone like her. Once they were done talking be looked at the address and headed for the city. It was busier now so he walked slower so they wouldn't get separated. He whistled as they walked. Some stared at him, mostly women. Some he had as clients. They got to the realtors and sure enough he saw a client of his. She smiled up at him and then saw Barynn. She frowned and walked off. Luther sighed and told Barynn he would be across the street at a shop.
The setting changes from keavaris-village to Veritas City.
Veritas City.
Barynn was pleased that Luther agreed to take her to see the realtor. She gave Penelo one last soft thanks as they left, quite pleased with how well the visit had gone. Penelo had seemed impressed with her and had agreed to let her sell some of her jewelry, which was much more than Barynn had been expecting. As they walked, Barynn couldn't help but to notice that there were women eyeing him up. She didn't blame them, really, though she wondered why they went about being so obvious with it. People really were strange. Upon reaching the address indicated, a woman smiled at Luther, but then frowned and walked off when she saw Barynn. The dwarf raised an eyebrow curiously, but then turned her attention back to Luther when she heard him sigh before addressing her. He almost sounded disappointed that the woman had walked off...? Barynn couldn't help but to wonder why. She smiled, though, and gave him a small nod when he told her that he'd be across the street. Then, her heart pounding, she headed into the realtor's office.
A tall brunette lady with brown eyes looked up when she heard someone come in. "Hello! Welcome welcome! I am Mrs. Carlson. We sell the best for less! Are you looking for home, land, or business?" He asked before sitting down and pulling out some files. Meanwhile, Luther went across the street and went shopping for a few things for the house.
Barynn eyed the brown-haired woman curiously as she entered. This woman, Mrs. Carlson, was much too upbeat for her liking, but she forced a smile anyways. "Business," she responded calmly. She only hoped the money she'd saved up would be enough.
Mrs. Carlson nodded and placed all the files back except one. When she came back, she opened up the one on the desk and looked over at Barynn. "Okay and your price range?" She asked as she started to put down some papers down, starting from least to greatest in price.
Barynn pulled out her bag of savings and set the money down on the counter. She wasn't quite sure how much was in there, so she'd let Mrs. Carlson determine that. She let her hazel eyes curiously dance over the papers that the realtor was setting down, wondering what types of properties might be available. She delicately brushed back some loose dark hair, keeping her gaze downwards on the papers rather than looking towards the realtor.


I had the best time (not actual time, time) on Sunday. I was really worried about getting round as I've been feeling so under the weather for a while now. And I managed to "ting" something on the club run 5 days before (sore right knee and left buttock) However I just plodded round and absolutely loved it. I felt exhilarated pretty much all the time (the alcohol probably helped to be fair). The atmosphere was great and I actually loved trail running with the mud and variation under foot.
I was talking to someone about my running the other day. I still struggle with it all. I am fed up with always being at the back and I don't appear to be getting any better. I wanted some advice about training. They asked me whether I wanted to go quicker or longer. When I thought about it, it's (still) not as serious as that for me. I just want to enjoy it. I want it to stop being such a chore.
I'm still not right, but I can feel a little trickle of mojo returning…just a trickle…don't get too excited.
