The Department of Defence (Defence) proposes to consolidate Joint
Logistics Command staff and storage facilities across Australia to provide more
efficient logistic support to Australian Defence Force personnel.
The purpose of the Defence Logistics Transformation Program (DLTP) is to
deliver new or refurbished purpose-built infrastructure that enables the seven
Joint Logistics Command units to provide enhanced support to Australian Defence
Force elements and operations. This will provide consistency across all sites,
with safe modern and sustainable work environments that meet current and
anticipated future requirements.[1]
The DLTP will modernise and enhance the wholesale logistics functions to
provide optimum support to Defence operations through efficient, effective and
safe work practices.[2]
The cost of the project is $752.7 million, excluding GST.
The project was referred to the Committee on 20 June 2012.
Following referral to the Committee, the inquiry was advertised in The
Australian on 27 June 2012.
The Committee received one submission and five supplementary submissions
from Defence. The list of submissions can be found at Appendix A.
The Committee received private briefings in Brisbane and Ipswich on
26 September 2012, Darwin on 27 September 2012, and Sydney on
4 October 2012.
The Committee conducted public hearings in Ipswich on
26 September 2012, Darwin on 28 September 2012, and Sydney
on 4 October 2012.
The Committee conducted an in-camera hearing on the project costs in
Sydney on 4 October 2012.
A transcript of the public hearing and the submissions to the inquiry
are available on the Committee's website.[3]
The current Defence wholesale storage network operates from outdated
infrastructure spread across 201 warehouses in 24 locations. The DLTP will
consolidate the wholesale logistics network to seven primary sites, supported
by nine specialty/retail sites.[4]
The current wholesale storage network is not enabled by industry
standard technology and automation, has relatively high operating and maintenance
costs and does not deliver efficient or effective outcomes when benchmarked
with comparable commercial practices.[5]
The current maintenance system also operates from outdated
infrastructure and facilities that fall short of comparable industry standards.
In many cases the workshop facilities across the network are converted World
War II warehouses. These outdated facilities contribute to increased cost of
service and sub-optimal maintenance outcomes as the facilities are not purpose
built for the function they currently serve.[6]
As a whole, the existing network drives a relatively high operating cost
and does not deliver efficient or effective outcomes when benchmarked against comparable
commercial practice.[7]
Approximately 23 per cent of the available network warehousing space is
underutilised when compared with comparable industry benchmarks.[8]
The Committee is satisfied that there is a need for the works.
The project will deliver infrastructure in eight locations:
The scope of works includes several common elements:
Details of the works at each site can be found in Submission 1.[11]
Subject to Parliamentary approval, construction is planned to commence
in late 2012 at Moorebank, Wadsworth Barracks and Lavarack Barracks, with other
sites commencing progressively through early to mid-2013. All construction is
expected to be completed by mid-2015.[12]
The Committee finds that the proposed scope of works is suitable to meet
the need.
The overall project cost is $752.7 million, excluding GST. The Committee
received confidential supplementary submissions detailing the project costs and
held an in-camera hearing with Defence on these costs.
Defence elected not to deliver the project through a public-private
partnership as it would not deliver the required results or savings.[13]
The Committee is satisfied that the costings for the project provided to
it have been adequately assessed by the proponent agency.
The DLTP will significantly consolidate warehousing facilities across
Australia. It will support Defence capability until at least 2030.[14]
It will also provide major savings for Defence.[15]
In part, this will be due to the disposal of rented land and facilities, with
the works to be undertaken on Commonwealth land.[16]
Consolidating current facilities into newer, modernised warehouses and
storage areas will bring efficiencies to the network. Defence outlined the
deficiencies in the current warehousing network:
Basically at the moment on the warehousing side we have
around 201 warehouses across the nation that vary in age from the 1920s all the
way up to about the 1990s. Most of those particular types of warehouses that we
have are what we call low-rise warehouses, along with warehouses that have
large numbers of internal forests growing in them to stop the efficient
movement of MHE [material handling equipment] as well as the ability to rack
and stack. Modern warehouses traditionally have a high-rise warehousing
capacity that takes modern shelving and modern warehousing up to around six
pallets high. What that essentially means is that you have a reduced footprint
the size of your warehouse, but you maximise the amount of space that is in
your warehouse. In our current low-rise warehouses we lose, in many instances,
anything up to 60 per cent of the available warehouse space, simply because of
the beams. The lowness of those means you cannot stack all the way up to the
roof. You cannot therefore access those particular items. So, underutilised
space in our existing warehouse is based purely on the way the warehouses are
constructed. Removing those from our network means that we can consolidate our
footprint, making it much smaller in scope, but, more importantly, give greater
efficiency for moving the stock to the individual, as opposed to the individual
to the stock.[17]
However, consolidation does provide a major challenge:
… we have to make sure that our distribution pipelines are
now much more effective, so our ability to move around the network has to be
much more critically aligned with various capacities and capabilities that the Australian
Defence Force has around Australia with regard to its raise, train and sustain
activities. So we are likely to hold less stock in certain locations than we
would have held there traditionally. To make sure that we can still provide
support to the Australian Defence Force, we need to have a greater
understanding of our distribution nodes and our distribution requirements, but
modern technology allows us to do that. Such things as RFID readers so that we
can track stock as it moves around the country will certainly reduce that risk,
and it saves Defence buying and holding stock for that just-in-case policy. We
will be able to actually manage that much more closely.[18]
The Committee viewed various warehouses that were not built for the
purpose they presently serve. Most facilities were built during World War II
and many have hardwood support poles every five metres. The Committee observed
that this impinges on Defence's ability to efficiently store and maintain
The Committee noted that the warehouses and other facilities it
inspected were difficult to heat, cool and ventilate effectively (particularly
in areas with significant weather variation such as Darwin) and required
'workarounds' to meet workplace health and safety requirements. These factors
reduce productivity and limit Defence capability.
The Committee is satisfied that consolidating facilities will prove
beneficial to the provision of logistic support.
This project aims to improve the efficiency of logistic support. This
requires improved infrastructure and technology, such as carousels. Such
improvements can increase the stock pick rate.
A pick rate is a productivity measure and represents the number of items
picked per person, per day.
Defence's stock pick rates vary, due to Defence's varied stock, from
small items such as bullets to large items such as bridges. The average is 13
or 14.[19]
However, infrastructure and technology could improve this pick rate to
26 or higher,[20] which would allow
Defence to almost halve the contracted workforce:
So if we have a pick rate of 13 picks per day per person,
that equates to the workforce [at Moorebank] of around 126 personnel to meet
that requirement. If we can increase that pick rate to, say, 26, which is
coming towards the average within the industry we could reduce the number of
contracted workforce that we would have to do that pick rate, from around 126
to around 63. That is almost half of the total workforce required to do the same
amount of work. The intent behind increasing the pick rate, by improving the
facilities, is to actually bring us to an industry standard. The philosophy is
very simple: we want to take the best practices that are available commercially
and to actually bring those into the defence arena.[21]
One way to increase stock pick rates for small items is the use of
carousels. These are rotating vertical storage spaces which eliminate the need
to store small items in warehouses. The Committee viewed a carousel in Darwin,
which would hold the same volume of small items as the 100-metre-long warehouse
that the Committee viewed in Sydney.[22]
Carousels bring the stock to the individual, enabling employees to
locate items quickly and easily, without having to walk through a warehouse. This
provides health and safety benefits while also reducing the time required to
locate items.
The Committee is satisfied that Defence is combining appropriate infrastructure
and technology to improve stock pick rates and therefore improve efficiency.
The Committee was impressed with the carousel it viewed in Darwin and
understands the benefits that such technology provides for the organisation and
distribution of small items.
Defence conducted extensive community consultation for the DLTP.[23]
During the consultation process, noise was raised as an issue by residents
close to the Moorebank site. Defence explained that it had already mitigated
the impact of noise on local residents through its design of the proposed
… all of the low-traffic activities, such as dangerous goods,
aerial delivery equipment and all those low-movement activities, are placed
closest to the residential areas, limiting the amount of noise that they would
experience. We will also provide a bit of a buffer through that green buffer
zone, which will also reduce some of the noise impacts to the residential
Traffic was raised as an issue in Darwin. Defence outlined its process
for consultation in Darwin and stated that it was relatively positive:
On 14 June we had a formal consultation with the community,
mainly attended by residents of Knuckey Lagoons. Sixteen people turned up. Most
of them expressed their pleasure with what we had done to address this
solution. Most of them were in agreement that, yes, that would address what we
call the rat-running and the traffic going through the quiet residential area,
which currently happens.[25]
Defence also provided a letter from the Chair of the Knuckey Lagoon
Recreational Reserve Board, confirming that the group was satisfied with the
consultation process:
In regards to the level of public consultation on the DLTP [proposed
works] at Robertson Barracks. I advise that we had media advertising, multiple
letter drops and a very well attended public information session. It is our
hope that this consultation model is used for all future development proposals
for the Barracks.[26]
While in Darwin, the Committee also facilitated broader discussion of
Defence's relationship with the community.[27]
The Committee is satisfied with Defence's community consultation in
relation to the DLTP and expects Defence to continue to consult with the
community for all future projects.
The Committee is particularly pleased with Defence's communication with
the Knuckey Lagoon Recreational Reserve Board.
Three road and traffic issues were raised, at RAAF Base Amberley,
Robertson Barracks and Moorebank.
Around RAAF Base Amberley, traffic studies were undertaken at all
intersections leading into the base. These studies determined that increases in
traffic to the base during and after the proposed works will not exceed the capacity
of the existing traffic network.[28]
On the day the Committee visited RAAF Base Amberley, the Cunningham
Highway turnoff to the base had been blocked by a traffic crash. Defence stated
that this intersection is poor and will be upgraded by the Queensland
Government to include a bypass. This will provide an exit and overpass, to
remove the need for vehicles to cross the path of oncoming traffic.[29]
Concerns were raised over the proposed new western access road at
Robertson Barracks, NT. Defence outlined the process for determining the
location of the new western access road, including its consultation with the
local council, the landowner, the community and the NT government, as well as
environmental, flooding and traffic implications. The proposal has received the
required approvals.[30]
Defence considered various options for the proposed new western access
road's intersection with McMillans Road. Defence advised that a roundabout was
not deemed suitable:
The issues around putting a roundabout in that location were
more to do with the flow of traffic on McMillans Road. In putting in a
roundabout we would actually give preferential treatment to Defence traffic
coming onto the new road as opposed to the high volume of traffic on an 80
kilometre an hour road travelling through Darwin. It would mean we would have
to slow traffic down on that road to 60 kilometres an hour for about 200 metres
in either direction and you would get quite a significant traffic build up on McMillans
Road to the detriment of the wider community by doing that.[31]
Defence also provided a letter from the Chair of the Knuckey Lagoon
Recreational Reserve Board, which stated that:
… the vast majority of residents are happy with the proposed
Western Access Road to Robertson Barracks. It goes a long way towards resolving
our long standing issues with Defence use of local roads.[32]
In relation to the proposed works at Moorebank, Defence stated that
access to the site will be off Moorebank Avenue, not Anzac Avenue:
Again that reflects the fact that Moorebank Avenue is the
heavy transport route and will become potentially more so with future use of
that land. So it made sense from a planning perspective and also from New South
Wales's perspective in our negotiations with them that we make our access off
that side to keep heavy vehicles off Anzac Avenue as best we could.[33]
The Committee accepts that Defence has addressed road and traffic issues
at and around the project sites.
Three key environmental issues are the removal of trees near Robertson
Barracks, the transient population of koalas at RAAF Base Amberley and the
proximity of the Cumberland Plains Woodland to Moorebank.
The proposed works at Robertson Barracks, including the new access road,
will involve tree clearance. Defence stated that the Armstrong's cycads (Cycas
armstrongii), declared vulnerable under NT legislation, would be relocated:
… we are planning to relocate the 450 cycads. As part of that
internal process for Defence, I will issue a directive in terms of an
environmental assessment report directing the project director to liaise
directly with the Northern Territory Department of Natural Resources,
Environment, the Arts and Sport to ensure that they are translocated in a
proper manner.[34]
Defence confirmed that all required approvals had been sought and
granted for the project.[35]
Koalas are known to be present at RAAF Base Amberley. Defence advised
that it had followed the required Department of Sustainability, Environment,
Water, Population and Communities protocols for vulnerable species and surveyed
the area surrounding the proposed works. As a result of these assessments, a
koala-friendly fence will be installed so that koalas can access vegetation.[36]
The proposed works at Moorebank are in close proximity to a Cumberland
Plain Woodlands area. Defence stated that it has ensured a buffer zone between
the works and the woodlands:
We were certainly very conscious of the need to not impact on
the Cumberland Plain Woodlands area. As you are aware, that is a critically
endangered ecological community so there are certain obligations on us under
the various governing legislation. We endeavour to keep to the north of that
growth area and we have been able to do that. … We have designed a buffer … to
ensure that we do stay well clear of the Cumberland Plain Woodlands
The Committee is satisfied with Defence's approach to environmental
The Committee's site inspections included an armoury, a kitting store
and a parachute maintenance facility that were operating in buildings that were
not adequate for Defence's needs. At these locations, the Committee also viewed
aged, inefficient and inadequate warehousing facilities that were not built for
purpose and were insufficient to support Defence capabilities. The Committee
noted that these operations require better configured facilities, with unobstructed
ceiling and floor space.
The Committee met various Defence personnel during this inquiry and
thanks them for their contributions to the extensive briefings and inspections.
The Committee was satisfied with the evidence provided by Defence
regarding the proposed Defence Logistics Transformation Program.
The Committee is satisfied that the project has merit in terms of need,
scope and cost.
Having regard to its role and responsibilities contained in the Public
Works Committee Act 1969, the Committee is of the view that this project
signifies value for money for the Commonwealth and constitutes a project which
is fit for purpose, having regard to the established need.
The Committee recommends that the House of Representatives
resolve, pursuant to Section 18(7) of the Public Works Committee Act 1969,
that it is expedient to carry out the following proposed work: Defence
Logistics Transformation Program.

Philanthropy in America: A History
Olivier Zunz
360 pages, Princeton University Press, 2011
Many of us have a mental picture of nonprofits and philanthropy as one of three circles in a Venn diagram, the other two being government and commercial enterprise. The circles overlap in the center, but each sector also has its own functions.
Yet many contemporary observers have commented on the blurring of these sectors. Nonprofits earn revenue, companies produce environmentally beneficial products, and the government invests in social innovation. We have commercial vendors of charitable giving products, nonprofit producers of some of the world's most widely used software products, and networks of mobile phone crisis responders who don't fit into any circle. The creation of new corporate forms for good and the impact investing movement have become standard parts of philanthropy conferences. And the Supreme Court's 2010 decision in Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission has unleashed a new era of nonprofit activity in campaign politics.
Although all of these examples are contemporary, none of them is fully new. Olivier Zunz's book, Philanthropy in America: A History, tells a 100-year story of how we got to where we are today, focusing on the political choices we've made to shape nonprofit organizations and philanthropic foundations. Zunz braids together the tales of small and large donors. This is not an institutional history of major foundations, though many appear in its pages. Nor is it the tale of workplace giving, federated campaigns, or direct fundraising appeals, although those also make appearances. What Zunz does is to set the story of the Easter Seals campaign alongside the founding of the Carnegie Corporation of New York and encircle them with the public policy decisions that make both possible.
In the years between 1913 and 1920 we fought World War I, amended the US Constitution to allow for a federal income tax, and incorporated several major foundations. The connection among these events is not the one you might expect. The foundations preceded the taxes. The income tax financed some of the costs of the war, but a large part was paid for by the voluntary purchase of bonds. And the sale of war bonds by community groups and the fervor with which neighbors engaged around this cause laid the groundwork for direct mail, workplace giving campaigns, viral fundraising, and many of the other mainstays of today's charitable world.
Zunz begins his history in the late 19th century, with the ofttold story of Julius Rosenwald financing the construction of schools for blacks living in the South. He is careful to note that Rosenwald enabled the education of hundreds of thousands of blacks, but not by challenging segregationist state governments to change their ways. This relationship between private philanthropy and public policy is the story that really interests Zunz. Through each of his chapters, from the turn of one century to the next and with close looks at community philanthropy, civil rights, the war on poverty, and international giving, Zunz returns to the political questions that surround the use of private resources for public good.
Zunz tells of presidents from Hoover to Kennedy seeking to control, influence, or partner with large foundations to provide social services, health care, and education. Not until the late 1950s do we hear stories of foundations pushing back against government policy. Once again, the issue is the education of blacks in the South.
Zunz makes rich use of a limited resource—foundation archives. So few foundations make their records available that the history of American foundations is drawn from the history of a few dozen organizations. Zunz mixes the institutional sources with biographical material, congressional record, court documents, and media coverage to capture both the contributions and contested nature of American philanthropy.
Zunz ends his book in the late 1990s and doesn't really look into the role of technology in changing philanthropy. This raises an interesting question about the historiography of organizations. Our current communication technologies will change not only how foundations work but also the public record they leave behind, which will be largely outside of their control.
The author's interest in the political privileges and limits of philanthropic institutions takes him far beyond grantmaking record and internal memos. He begins with 19th-century probate court decisions and folds in the steadily diversifying cast of regulatory characters from state attorneys general to the halls of Congress to the IRS up to the 1969 Tax Reform Act. What unfolds is syncopated progress toward an ever-elusive definition of public good. The tension comes from a public desire to promote charitable assets, while limiting the use of such assets to influence public policy. This produces what Zunz calls the "arbitrary" divide between political and educational activities.
Zunz includes an illustrative anecdote about Lyndon Johnson. Shortly after championing the political independence of Jewish philanthropists to support Israel against the wishes of the Eisenhower administration, the senator faced a tough election challenge in the 1954 primary in Texas. His opponent, Dudley Dougherty, had the support of two nonprofits backed by an oil millionaire and a newspaper magnate. Upon his return to the Senate, Johnson abandoned his support for the political independence of nonprofits and inserted an amendment into the IRS code forbidding them to "participate in, or intervene in … any political campaign on behalf of any candidate for public office."
This battle is, of course, ongoing. The political economy we've created over the last 100 years is a mixed system in which philanthropic resources, public agencies, and commercial enterprise all contribute to our shared social goods. Zunz shows us that the lines of our imagined Venn diagram were never as clear or static as we thought. With impact investing, social enterprise, and social business we've increased the tools we use to apply private resources to public good. If Zunz's historical arc extends into the future, the battles over the rules for those tools will be a defining character in the philanthropic story of the 21st century.

Team Maggie Day 17 ENGRAFTMENT!!!!!
What a wonderful day! It's Engraftment Day! That means Maggie's Neutrophil count has been over 500 for three consecutive days, and that's a huge milestone! From Bethematch.org
Neutrophil engraftment
A CBC test counts the number of neutrophils in your bloodstream. An absolute neutrophil count (ANC) of 500 or more for 3 days in a row is a sign of engraftment. This means that the blood test shows 500 or more neutrophils in a cubic millimeter of blood. Neutrophil engraftment can occur as early as 10 days after transplant. About 20 days is more common for patients who receive marrow or peripheral (circulating) blood cells. For patients who receive cord blood, the average time to neutrophil engraftment is between 21 and 35 days.
From Maggie's grandmother describing yesterday
Maggie's ANC was 573 this morning. Another count over 500 tomorrow and she will be officially engrafted! She had a good hemoglobin count this morning and good platelets thanks to last nights transfusion.
We are still dealing with nausea which is odd because she had been fine up until the other night and now she needs zofran every 8 hours on the dot or she's got her face in a bucket. She woke up crying and threw up this morning.
They are also walking a delicate line with her fluids. She is not peeling enough to equal as much fluid she is taking in and she's swollen and her weight is up..however her labs show she is dehydrated. Basically her capillaries are 'leaky' meaning the extra fluid leaks out of her vessels, so it's not really where it's supposed to be. They say they see this in almost all transplant kids and as the body recovers it will correct itself. She may need lasix tomorrow but they didn't want to give it to her today. They also did a bladder scan today to make sure she wasn't retaining urine and not able to pass it..but it seems like all is working ok there.
She was playful today and had fun decorating cookies thanks to the supplies her awesome nurse brought in. We had hoped it would encourage her to eat but no such luck. She did have about 3 ounces of Gatorade by mouth which is the first thing she's had to drink in a couple weeks. Baby steps! They said she will probably be discharged on TPN and fluids and that's ok.
We stopped her vancomycin today and they continue to wean her off morphine. All steps in the right direction.
Thank you for your continued support and prayers/love!!
Just a couple of reminders.
Mark your calendar for Monday, August 19th, because that night will be a Team Maggie Night at Miguel's Mexican Restaurant on the Hogan Road in Bangor. They will be donating 10 percent of all the dinner sales to Team Maggie, and there will be a 50/50 raffle. If you would like to help with the planning, please call Chris Popper at 941-1994 or email me at email@example.com
Maggie turns 5 on August 19th. She will be in the hospital still on her birthday. If you'd like to send a card or a gift, her address is
BMT Unit Floating 6
Attention: Maggie Rudnicki
750 Washington Street
Boston, MA 02111
I asked Maggie's mom what she likes and this is Lauren's reply
"She loves the Boston bruins, lip gloss and scary things (ghost stories, vampires, goosebumps books etc) those are a few favorites but honestly just well wishes are all she needs!"
Please keep praying. Prayers do work! They've made those little white cells grow, and those white blood cells are what's making Maggie feel so good. The change in in the past week has been nothing short of miraculous! Pray for a peaceful day and weekend ahead. Pray for a sense of calmness for Maggie, Lauren and the entire Rudnicki family. Pray that those white blood cells continue to grow, and grow quickly! Pray for healing, pray for strength! Pray that they can be discharged to the Neely House soon!
You can make a donation to help defray the medical and travel costs associated with Maggie's care. Maggie has been down in Boston for over 4 weeks. If you want to make a donation, click HERE for the details

|You are replying to: Ribs on the Holland Video
Topic Title: Ribs on the Holland Video
Created on April 18, 2013 at 09:57 PM
Tom Kirkman
I shot this as an aid to those wanting to get moisture and smoke into ribs on the Holland. This is how I do them, your mileage may vary.
Nice video Tom. I have always done them one one of my smokers but you made it look so easy and now I am gonna give them a shot on the Epic... Thanks...
Tom, great video. Do you use the Holland pellets or wood chips?
Tom Kirkman
I use the wood pellets. They seem to smoke for a long, long time once they take off.
I had been using my Traeger wood pellet stove for ribs, and it's fantastic for that with a really deep, strong smoke ring into the meat. Traegers are famous for their ribs - they smoke like a house on fire. But I can do nearly as well on the Holland with the smoke flavor but the ribs are much juicer due to using the steamer function the Holland offers.
I watched your youtube video and tried sitting the smoker box on top of the flame shield like you did. Within five minutes, had flames coming up around the grill cooking grid and burning the edge of the meat. How did you keep your wood pellets from catching fire??
Tom Kirkman
NO idea - mine simply didn't catch fire. They just smoldered. What type pellets did you use? Maybe that has something to do with it.
If they actually catch fire they aren't going to last very long.
I was using the small wood chips. I'll give the pellets a try and see if that will work better.
Tom Kirkman
I don't think the pellets will catch fire. They just smoulder and smoke.
The Holland Co
Tom Kirkman is one of our most loyal Holland customers. We always appreciate his insight & tips.
However, as a company, we do not recommend and in fact discourage, placing a container of wood chips or buds directly on top of the "Flame deflector" under the drip pan.
The reason being that they can catch fire under certain conditions & that can result in a fire in the drip pan, possibly causing damage to the grill.
I've now tried your method with wood chips and the wood pellets and had a very nice FIRE with both within minutes. I know every grill is a little different but on my grill, the hottest part of the grill on the left edge. I went to Lowe's and purchased one of those small metal smoke boxes and place it on top of the drip pan to the left side of the grill and get better smoke than from the smoker drawer. My smoker drawer works ok but it takes over an hour for it to heat the drawer enough to see any smoke. I have even thought about adding a "Smoke Daddy" to the grill but haven't gone that far yet.

KOA's '10 Convention Nov. 7-10 in Savannah
September 21, 2010 by RVBusiness · Comments Off on KOA's '10 Convention Nov. 7-10 in Savannah
Kampgrounds of America Inc. (KOA) owners from throughout North America will be gathering in Savannah, Ga., Nov. 7-10 for KOA's Annual International Convention – an event that will feature presentations from nationally known customer service experts, as well as plenty of fun.
"Getting together each year to learn and exchange great ideas is a big reason to be a KOA franchisee," KOA CEO Jim Rogers stated in a news release. "No matter what you may be facing as an owner, it's almost certain that you'll be able to find another KOA owner who has experienced – and solved – the same issue."
The 2010 KOA Convention is being held at the Westin Savannah Harbor Golf Resort and Spa.
One of this year's featured speakers is Fred Reichheld, founder of Bain's Loyalty Practice and author of "The Ultimate Question – Driving Good Profits and True Growth." Reichheld pioneered the business concept of Net Promotor Scores (NPS) whereby customers are asked their intent to return to a business, or refer that business to other customers.
This summer, for the first time, KOA owners have been supplied with Net Promoter Scores from their campers based on immediate results from "rate your stay" surveys. The scores and the surveys help owners identify and deal with service issues as they happen.
Also set to speak are customer service expert Ruby Newell-Legner and Carrie Stolar, a noted authority on combating childhood obesity and "nature deficit disorder."
In a new convention event intended to give back to the host community, KOA owners will grab their shovels and boots for two "green" community projects. The first will be a project to develop wetlands trails along the Georgia coast, and the second will be a project to deposit oyster shells in oyster shell beds to improve the habitat.
"We want to demonstrate in a very real way KOA's commitment not just to sustainable camping practices, but we want to give back to the communities we visit," said KOA President Pat Hittmeier.
Also on the convention agenda is KOA's popular KOA Workamper Job Fair, where KOA workampers from throughout North America will be able to meet one-on-one with prospective KOA owner/employers. One lucky participant in the job fair will win a free Apple Ipad.
On Nov. 8-9, KOA owners and staff will attend several learning sessions covering topics such as lodging best practices, social marketing for their campground, implementing sustainable "green" practices on campgrounds and e-mail marketing, to name just a few.
On Nov. 10 – the last day of the KOA convention – will feature the KOA Expo, where hundreds of campground suppliers and vendors will work with KOA owners to gear up for the 2011 camping season through the purchase of everything from a KOA Lodge to store supplies. That evening will end with the annual KOA Care Camps Auction. Each year, KOA owners support KOA Care Camps for children with cancer through a variety of fundraising events including the annual Convention Auction. Funds raised through the auction go directly to send children with cancer to one of 44 specialized summer camps throughout North America.
"This event is always a highlight of every year," said Rogers. "It's a great way to wrap up the summer camping season and get ready for both snowbird camping and the 2011 summer season."

Confession Tuesday
To the confessional--
I was reading January's confessions today--if you haven't and you're a parent that works/writes from home you should. I think it's hard if you work/write from home because family may intrude on your time in a way that wouldn't happen if you were out of the house at a different geographical location, say an office. I cannot imagine visiting my husband at work (he's a firefighter) and asking him to help me find my keys or to stop what he is doing to watch something funny on TV or look at what the cats are up to.
There is an absolutely love behind the last two requests because your family wants you to be part of something that's important or interesting to them, but the first one, these "favors" or "requests" they are the things that can make someone like me, who is NOT a multi-tasker, who can not get up from that space a poem puts me in where I am deep in the words and going under, I cannot get up and find the keys then return to that same space.
I have a shed now and it has helped. January says she goes to Starbucks. A famous poet has said something like she has told her kids to leave her alone unless something is on fire. We try to carve out our own space. It's difficult, but we try.
When you work in the home (no matter what job) it is harder to be that other person and for your family to see you as that other person. Many times you may not even feel like that other person. Just know poets and writers who work from home, you are not alone.
* * *
I hate recycling things that can be used again, like small cute boxes that chocolate comes in. However, I'm not so organized that I have a place to store them until that perfect use comes up again.
* * *
Someone recently said to me that they couldn't spend a $100 on something frivolous because of the economy (which is a different reason than "I don't have the money"). I thought that was interesting and wondered if other people have placed a price on frivolity.
* * *
I hate being sick because I always think I will feel this way forever. This is why I shouldn't live in a state with the new assisted suicide option. I'm too much of wimp when it comes to not feeling good and would be ready to opt out if asked. (My husband tells me this option is not available for someone with a bad cold and that it must be a terminal illness with less than 6 mos to live.) I think he thinks I'm a little bit of a drama queen when ill.
* * *
I am getting tired of the words "economy" and "recession." I think they should be replaced "elephant" and "recess." I would much rather hear the newscasters say, "Our elephant is in a recess" a thousand times a day. It just sounds so much happier. Play hard, elephant, recesses don't last forever.

Oh, sweetie, sorry you're sick! I've got a little sinus/cough thing happening too - just in time for my Seattle visit (boo!)ReplyDelete
I do the same thing when I'm sick or injured - I feel like it is going to last forever, that I will never feel good again. Well, sometimes I'm sick so often, it does actually seem like that is true! But the good thing is it helps you not take for granted when you're well, how much we can do then, how happy we should be when we can smell flowers properly or run around the block without a limp!
I love that you have a shed of your own! I would get a shed but we already have one filled with lawn equipment.ReplyDelete
Sometimes I feel as if our kids think of us at 24-hour customer service reps—there to help all the time with everything. Mostly we do, but we still need to get away from the help line every once in a while. And kids need to learn how to problem solve for themselves.
I could easily spend $100 on something frivolous. My last frivolous item was my Flip MINO video camera (I called it an early b-day gift). But my husband and I budgeted for it. I've cut out almost every luxury except my Starbucks visits to save for the important things. I'm preparing for the worst and hoping it never comes.

Elephants in a recess--wonderful!--reminds me of that wonderful piece in "Fantasia" with the elephants in tutus.ReplyDelete
I have definitely cut back on little impulse buys at Target or the supermarket. I'd rather save up and buy myself a book, DVD or download something from iTunes.ReplyDelete

Petite Potties: Wall Hung Toilets
Toilets — not exactly a hot design topic. But while we may try to avoid seeing them as much as possible, there are some toilets that are much better looking than others. In fact, when it comes to wall hung toilets, not only are they nicer looking, but they're also space-saving and easier to clean than their traditional floor-mounted counterparts.
Rather than sitting directly only the floor, wall hung toilets are mounted to the wall. The tank that would normally go on top of, or behind, the toilet is hidden inside the wall. Tanks are integrated into carriers that fit between either 2x4 or 2x6 studs, and the toilet bowl can be mounted to the wall at a variety of heights. This provides a clear space underneath, which makes cleaning a lot easier. But the biggest benefit is the 6"-9" gained by hiding the tank in the wall. In addition, wall hung toilets tend to be much sleeker and more contemporary than standard toilets, but would fit in any style home. There is always a downside (of course), which is that the space-efficient design comes at a price tag 1.5 - 2x the cost of floor mounted toilets.

1 Tasting Note
I tried this tea for the first time on the second day of a 30 day juice fast. It blew me away! Now I know the fermentation causes the carbonation and that is one of the values of drinking Kombucha but I couldn't handle all the fizz in my stomach so I put the lid on and shook it up a little. Letting the fizz out unlocks the deeper taste and doesn't hurt the stomach.

A green wedding opts for the environmentally-friendly alternative to each element of the celebration, from invitations and the dress to the cake. Many couples who go green in their wedding planning have already recycled their glass, paper and plastic, shopped for organic food at farmers' markets and conserved energy at home, so they want to extend their earth-conscious values to their big day.
While no hard statistics are available on the number of green weddings in the United States, surveys by bridal magazines and businesses — and a thriving mini-industry of green wedding websites and online stores — point to a noticeable trend. Many couples say they like the idea of downsizing and simplifying their wedding to prevent more depletion of natural resources. The concept of shunning excess and over-consumption is also particularly appealing at a time wedding budgets often reach into the tens of thousands of dollars.
The first item on the to-do list of a green wedding is finding ways to shrink the event's carbon footprint — in other words, to cut down on the carbon dioxide emissions that contribute to global warming. In the United States, more than two-thirds of emissions are produced by energy consumption and transportation. For a wedding, this translates into choices that minimize long distance travel for both guests and products and that emphasize the recycled over the brand new.
And the smaller the guest list, the smaller the impact on the environment.
The Venue
The Venue
The greenest venue is the one closest to most guests since the location determines how many people would have to fly or drive long distances. Outdoor venues like parks and botanical gardens have the advantage of providing their own natural beauty, which minimizes the need for decorations. Daytime weddings also save on electric power.
When considering indoor weddings, hotels, restaurants, community centers and even churches should subscribe to environmentally-sound practices for energy efficiency, water conservation and garbage disposal.
Some couples choose a venue to support a cause — a community center, an art gallery or museum — because they consider giving back to their community and helping other people a worthy sustainable practice. And short of eloping (what could be greener?), some couples choose the cyberwedding, inviting only a handful of guests to their vows and streaming the ceremony live to other relatives and friends around the world on the Internet.
The Invitation
The Invitation
Couples spare trees with invitations made of recycled paper, or by avoiding paper altogether and sending word of their nuptials by email. Many etiquette experts frown on these electronic invitations as too impersonal but they approve of other paper-free communication through wedding Web sites. On these sites, couples can post directions to the wedding location, link to their registry and give other information to guests.
The Registry
The Registry
In the spirit of avoiding waste, some couples suggest that guests give practical and philanthropic gifts, such as a donation to reduce their honeymoon expense or to an animal shelter. Those who won't forgo their presents often suggest green items such as bamboo tableware or patio furniture made of recycled milk jugs. While a decidedly unfriendly mark-up in price often accompanies eco-friendly products, guests are sure to welcome a couple's preference for no gift wrap.
The Dress
The Dress
Many brides turn to a second-hand gown borrowed or bought on Craigslist or eBay, eager to re-use or recycle products to cut down on the energy required to make a brand new one. (The grooms still rent.) Brides who buy new may re-sell the dress after the wedding, or donate it to a charity that raises funds by selling wedding dresses, so it can be worn again.
Some brides opt to wear a party dress or evening gown that can be worn again and again long after the "I do's."
The Reception
The Reception
Where a product comes from is an important factor to consider in green weddings because buying local means that items such as food, flowers and decorations don't have to be shipped from far, thus avoiding unnecessary transportation-related carbon emissions. A local and seasonal menu is frequently more popular than an organic menu, which is usually pricier (there's also organic cake and beverages.) By simply not serving beef, whose production is highly energy-intensive, couples are helping the environment.
Tableware should be reusable, as in rented china and linens. Environmentally-aware caterers also note that, for the least impact, the bride and groom should pare down the courses and choose a seated dinner rather than a buffet, which requires more plates and utensils (when people go back for seconds) that need to be transported and washed.
And if there's a party favor at all, it tends to be charitable or practical as well – for instance, a donation to a favorite cause in the name of the guest or edibles such as organic chocolate.
Green weddings can certainly lead to celebrations that are simpler and more practical, and even less costly, but their benefit to the environment is difficult to quantify. Some energy experts say the impact of individual lifestyle choices pales in comparison to what government action could achieve in one fell swoop. Recycling and composting garbage, or buying organic flowers for the wedding, these experts say, are measures that do not approach the benefit to the environment of having the country turn to renewable energy sources, such as solar energy, for all its electricity.
On the other hand, with more than 2 million marriages taking place in the United States each year, many couples see value in the cumulative and ripple effect of a green wedding, including supporting eco-friendly products and services and inspiring friends and family to follow the happy couple along a greener path.

You could try making a thin slurry of yeast to add to each bottles.
Thanks for the suggestions. I think I will try to make a slurry and save the batch. I am hoping to avoid oxidation....so quick hands...quick hands. ha.So two additional questions. 1. Could I just pick up a vial of whitelabs and and pipette from the vial into the bottles? I'm thinking I will try to use the same yeast as I don't want any additional yeast flavors. 2. How much yeast are we talking? 1 ml per bottle? Thanks for the suggestions. Live and learn, I guess. Cheers!
Thanks Jonathan. They were stored for about 3 weeks at around 65-70. A little cooler than ideal, but I would have expected something at those temps. Thanks again for the suggestions. Headed to the LHBS today.
If your ready to bottle your beer for the first time, can you add a small amount of re-hydrated dry yeast to the sugar mixture. Mix it together really well then add a dose to each bottle before bottling?
Quote from: sbruening on July 21, 2014, 05:58:03 PMIf your ready to bottle your beer for the first time, can you add a small amount of re-hydrated dry yeast to the sugar mixture. Mix it together really well then add a dose to each bottle before bottling?you can but it is a) not usually needed and b) not the easiest way to go about it.it some situations it may be advisable to add a little yeast at bottling time. mostly these situations are when you have aged a beer prior to bottling for a significant amount of time (months or even years) or when the beer is so high in alcohol that the strain you fermented with it not going to be able to (or will have a hard time) getting back to work on the added priming sugar. However in the vast majority of situations you do not need to add extra yeast.If you decide that you want to add yeast at bottling time you can just mix it in the bottling bucket with the priming sugar solution and rack the beer on top of it all to mix. if you want to be extra sure of mixing you can stir GENTLY with a SANITIZED spoon.Getting dosage right bottle by bottle is a PITA and if possible it's better to mix the whole volume up and then just bottle as normal.

(Click for video linked to a searchable transcript of this Mad Money segment)
Could tough and somewhat unexpected comments from President Barack Obama seriously rattle the market?
Like so many investors, Jim Cramer can't help but wonder.
Speaking in Brussels, Obama suggested that further U.S. and Western sanctions against Russia could be forthcoming, even without additional provocation from Russian President Vladimir Putin.
Using rather dramatic language, Obama said the world had entered "a global moment of testing," and he implored Europe to recommit to freedom and human dignity saying, "If the Russian leadership stays on its current course, together we will ensure that this isolation deepens."

New Car Review Video
2014 Ford Mustang: New Car Review - Video
When you're talking about classic American muscle cars, only a few share the stage with the 2014 Ford Mustang. Ford recaptured much of the magic of the original 1964 Mustang with this current generation Mustang, and the 2014 model holds the line without any dramatic changes.
There's no mistaking the Mustang's all-American exterior. It still looks fresh and ready to play either as a coupe or convertible, offering new appearance packages.
Within the Beast
The front seats are comfortable with good support, and there's enough room up there for two adults. But for those in the rear, the story is different. It's cramped back there, with limited headroom and legroom.
However, this pony has no shortage of technology, which includes the SYNC voice-activated infotainment system that can be used to stream mobile apps such as Pandora and read incoming text messages. We also recommend the available 8-speaker Shaker 1,000-watt audio system if you really want to push some sound.
Unfortunately, there's no telescoping feature on the steering column, so it's difficult to dial in the perfect driving position. And there are too many hard plastic surfaces throughout this cabin.
American Muscle
The base Mustang 3.7-liter V6 engine produces 305 horsepower and 280 lb-ft of torque but still delivers respectable fuel economy. Most buyers won't require more muscle than that. Those who do can step up to the 5.0-liter V8 in the GT with 420 hp and 390 lb-ft of torque. Either way, a 6-speed manual or a 6-speed automatic transmission with a manual shift feature are available.
The 2014 Mustang is a real handler with quick responses. And with the optional V6 Performance Package or the GT Track Package, the Mustang becomes a serious sports machine with an ample dose of agility.
For the best fuel economy, go with the V6 coupe with the automatic transmission. It rates at 19 miles per gallon city/31 mpg hwy. The more performance-driven 5.0-liter with manual gearbox is a lot thirstier at 15 mpg city/26 mpg hwy.
Performance Bargain
The 2014 Ford Mustang qualifies as a genuine bargain. The base V6 coupe stickers at barely over $22,000, while the GT coupe has an MSRP of close to $31,000 before extras. Tack on another $5,000 for convertible editions. The Mustang competes head-to-head with the Chevrolet Camaro and Dodge Challenger, just like it did during the Muscle Car Era. Even the Hyundai Genesis Coupe is in the mix but doesn't have that classic American mojo.
Pony Car for the Ages
The Ford Mustang started the whole Pony Car movement 50 years ago, and the 2014 edition of this world-famous vehicle is still a winner. The interior misses the mark a tad, but overall the love affair that millions of people have had with this American icon is far from over.

We may finally get an explanation as to why certain aspects of our state's sunshine laws strain the finances and resources of a County Board that has amassed a $47 million reserve.
As I wrote in Sunday's newspaper, my stories chronicling local governments' clandestine war on public records laws came up at Thursday's meeting of the Legislative and Intergovernmental Affairs Committee. The committee met for the first time with Katy Lawrence, the new executive director of Metro Counties of Illinois, which lobbies in Springfield to represent the interests of the state's 15 largest counties.
As I have written and blogged about since August, Metro Counties is one of several local government lobbying groups pushing a slew of bills aimed at scaling back our state's Freedom of Information, Open Meetings and Public Notice acts, or opposing bills strengthening them. Your tax dollars are paying for the effort.
Several members of the committee, such as Nick Provenzano, R-McHenry, said Thursday that the county has to do a better job explaining to the public why they are backing such legislation, and explaining to the public why the sunshine provisions in question are "burdensome".
I'm all ears. I think the taxpayers of this county are owed an explanation as to why their tax dollars are being spent to fight their right to know.
I'm especially curious about the following three:
* Part of House Bill 3137, backed by Metro Counties, would allow governments to exempt outlines and drafts of statements and presentations of public officials.
Color me suspicious, but draft reports have been a key component of the Northwest Herald's investigative stories that have exposed the numerous shortcomings of the county's investigation into the McCullom Lake brain cancer cluster.
In 2007 I wrote an in-depth six-part investigative series on lawsuits – 33 as of today – alleging that air and groundwater contamination from the Rohm and Haas chemical plant in Ringwood caused a brain cancer cluster in and around McCullom Lake. Among the stories was a piece that debunked the "science" behind a 2006 study by the McHenry County Department of Health concluding that nothing was amiss.
Drafts of the health department's work, which I obtained through FOIA, were vital in helping prove the shoddy nature of the research. Besides debunking the epidemiology, the drafts helped prove that much of the department's early environmental analysis consisted of taking Rohm and Haas' work and slapping the "MCDH" logo on it. The drafts helped lead me to other documents the health department had long possessed, but decided that the public didn't need to know about, such as documents showing uncertainty about the accuracy of pollution maps, and documents showing that plant officials knew about the pollution a decade before reporting it.
Is the county's sponsorship of House Bill 3137 really about saving money? Hopefully the committee can share with us just how much it costs county staff each year to find and photocopy draft reports for FOIA requests.
* House Bill 1869, backed by Metro Counties, would allow governments to publish their meeting and taxation notices online rather than the local newspaper of record.
Undoubtedly it costs money to print public notices. But is this bill about saving taxpayers money, or trying to hit print media in the pocketbook to further strain resources and keep its prying eyes off of government?
Let's get an analysis of that cost from county officials. And then let's get an explanation, as I joked here, as to why it's supposedly easier and more convenient for us to bookmark and follow the websites of the dozen or so governments on our property tax bills than it is to pick up the newspaper.
While we're at it in this election year, an explanation is owed to the one American in three that don't use the Internet (according to a Department of Commerce report) as to why they're out of luck if they want to know when their governments meet or what they're meeting about. Ditto for the 60 percent of senior citizens who don't use the Internet, according to a 2011 Pew Research Center report. As a reminder to all 24 County Board members, 118 state representatives and 59 state senators up for election this year, seniors love to vote.
* Along a similar vein, Metro Counties and other groups are backing House Bill 1715, which would allow governments to deny FOIA requests if the information the requesters seek is online.
Undoubtedly, that measure if approved would save governments some money. Let's see a figure for how much, which like the cost of providing draft reports we can then compare to the $47 million reserve, how much in raises that the County Board plans to hand out to its staff next year, etc.
Again, the county owes an explanation to constituents without Internet access as to why their FOIAs don't matter.
The McCullom Lake issue is one of many that prove FOIA's power, and maybe why many governments appear to be working to curtail it.
Was there a logical reason why the health department, in one of its earlier drafts I obtained of its epidemiology report, took an unprofessional crack at "big-city lawyers promising residents millions of dollars" having the audacity to "raise the hopes of residents"? Such a statement has absolutely no place in a legitimate scientific study. It speaks volumes.
A rational person could read that passage and my stories - which to this day neither the health department nor county government have credibly challenged - and question the health department's and county government's motives. Was their work a genuine attempt to address a public health emergency, or a political mission aimed at spending your taxpayer money to come to the rescue of a multi-billion-dollar chemical company that, with a string of court victories, clearly doesn't need to be rescued?
I argue that the same rational person could look at the legislation that local governments are pushing to fight open-government laws and question whether this has anything at all to do with saving money or staff time.
I have to show my work when I write an investigative or enterprise piece. So I hope that the legislative committee isn't blowing smoke and will offer solid evidence as to why it's backing all of these bills aimed at our right to know.
And come to think of it, I think our municipal, school and township governments owe us explanations as to why they're also pushing the changes through the Illinois Municipal League, the Illinois Association of School Boards and Township Officials of Illinois.

Never Asleep at the Wheel
Earl Williams could drive a car in his sleep if he had to. But the deal was that he wouldn't fall asleep for one hundred consecutive hours as he drove around the city of Dublin. It was all part of a publicity stunt, or advertising gimmick, to raise funds for Earl's habits, eating in particular. Just like the fictional Bo "Bandit" Darville, Earl loved to show off to pay the bills. The thing is, Earl didn't have Sheriff Buford T. Justice in hot pursuit behind him. Most of his driving stunts were along city streets or on circular tracks within the speed limits. The real reason for the spectacle was to raise funds for the Lieutenant Williams' sponsors.
Before he began driving cars for days at a time, Earl Napoleon Williams won national fame for his daring feats as a stunt pilot for Ivan Gates and his "Flying Circus," the nation's most popular barnstorming air show of the 1920s.
In the fall of 1928, Earl was approached by Dave R. Yantis, sales manager of the LeRous Motor Company of Atlanta, to drive one of his Whippet automobiles in a daring endurance test at the Southeastern Fair. Earl's job was to drive a Whippet around a small track for 128 hours without sleeping and only stopping for gas, oil and water. To ensure that the driver remained in the vehicle, Williams was handcuffed to the steering wheel by policeman A.G. Stone. Such an assignment wouldn't be difficult for Earl, who had already set a world record in Chattanooga by driving nonstop for 141 hours. Williams did, however, express concerns that the test would be more grueling because of the tightness of the confined space.
A large crowd of fans gathered around the 80 by 175 foot oval tract in the first trial of its kind in the country. Even the doubters in the gathering had their chances to look for trickery during the allowed pit stops. At two o'clock in the morning after circling for 90 hours, the strain of driving around and around the small tract took its toll on Earl. He fainted and was rushed to a hospital for emergency treatment. Against his doctor's advice, the dazed driver insisted on getting back into the seat of his car. All the time, two of Fire Captain J.T. Peel's men had taken Williams' place and kept the Whippet on his mundane trek. Earl Williams crawled out of bed and returned to the track to finish the remaining 38 hours of his run, just as he had promised. Then after fulfilling his mission, Earl collapsed into a soft bed in the showroom window of the car dealership for a long rest. Then and there everyone could see that he was indeed human.
The next summer, Earl Williams drove a car at a record pace to the top of Pike's Peak in Colorado.
For his next feat of endurance, Earl enlisted the aid of his wife. The couple began their drive around a track in their Graham Paige automobile on August 27, 1929. The conditions of the test were that the vehicle could not stop for any reason. Refueling, servicing and even tire changes had to be made while the car was in motion requiring all the innovation Williams and his crew could muster. The rear seat of the car was fashioned into a bed room and bath room. The hard part came when the two drivers switched places. The couple drove 18,232 circles for more than 464 hours and seven minutes before a ruptured tire ended their stunt. After driving 9,116 miles, the couple only required a 12-hour rest. Then, it was once again time to get back on the road to travel to other cities and towns across the country to make some more spending money.
George T. Morris of Morris Motor Company hired Earl Williams to come to Dublin to promote the sale of his models A & T Ford coupes and sedans. Other merchants wanted to get in on the action as well. Jewelry store owner Cullen Fisher was appointed the official time keeper. During the 100-hour event, Fisher ran a special on Bulova watches. Sinclair gas and Opaline oil was provided by Glover M. Burney. Mr. Peacock, of the Service Radio Company, installed a Majestic Radio in Williams' car. The Burch Brothers chipped in a Willard battery. J.C. Penney and Co. furnished the driver with Penco sheets to cover his bed once the run was complete. When his car needed gas and oil, Earl could pull into the Fred Roberts Hotel's gas station, an event which everyone was invited to watch.
The big event began with Williams' appearance on the stage of the Rose Theater at 2:00 p.m. on January 8, 1930, eighty years ago next week. Promptly at 3:15, Mayor T.C. Keen handcuffed Williams to the wheel and gave the signal. The race against Morpheus began.
As the car pulled away from the curb, those who gathered around took a brief glance at the placards which covered most of its body. It was the only time during the 100-hour marathon that anyone could get a stationary glimpse of the sponsors ads. Those wanting to tag along for a ride were instructed to contact the desk manager of the Fred Roberts Hotel to reserve their ticket.
One of the biggest secrets to keep Earl awake was his daily morning shave. Pearly Hutchinson, one of the city's best barbers, was given the assignment of clean shaving the lieutenant every morning as he drove throughout the city. "He was sore and stiff from the awkward and unusual positions he had to get into every morning to shave," Hutchinson remarked.
As the race progressed, Williams' began to show the strains of sitting shackled to the car for days. To break up the monotony, Williams would drive outside the city limits. The culmination of the run came with a race to Wrightsville and back.
Williams looked at his Bulova watch. When it said 7:21 on Sunday evening, he headed his car toward the Fred Roberts Hotel and sleep. A physician was standing by to escort Earl to his hotel room. The public was invited to cheer him to finish line and even come into the hotel to watch him sleep and recuperate.
The whole event was a resounding success. Everyone went away happy. The merchants cash registers were a little more full. And, so was Earl Williams' wallet. Earl could sleep again. That is until it was time to climb back in his car and ride around for four days and four hours without succumbing to Mr. Sandman.
Eventually the records Earl Williams set were broken. His achievements faded into obscurity as few accounts of his activities ever appeared after the day in Dublin when he was never asleep at the wheel.

Oh, it's good to be past the stupid kid phase, but it's too bad many are not. One bit of painful excess I've heard about for many years is the Cinnamon Challenge, in which you try to gulp down a teaspoon of cinnamon without water. I've never been tempted in the slightest — see what I mean about growing
old up? — but apparently a lot of people are more impulsive or more susceptible to the double-dog-dare. The problem is that aspirating cinnamon can be very bad for you.
The actual amount of cinnamon isn't the problem – well over a teaspoon is fine in cookies, apple cider, pies, and other cooked goods. It's the risk of aspiration (inhaling the stuff) in such a large dose. As Dodgen did, it's easy to breathe in the cinnamon, "a caustic powder composed of cellulose fibers which are bioresistant and biopersistent; they neither dissolve nor biodegrade in the lungs," as the Pediatrics authors put it. Too much non-dissolving, non-biodegrading cellulose fibers in your lungs can lead to long-term damage.
Now you know. You won't succumb, and also, you won't let your friends do it.
