Creating A House Of Love
A huge goal of mine is that our family always be full of God's love. I believe it's the glue that keeps everyone together. I know it's something that will carry on for generations to come.
In our house, loving everybody is not an option. It is not acceptable at any time to think you're better than anyone else. It's not acceptable to treat anyone any less than you would want to be treated. I think most of society refers to this as "The Golden Rule." But, I'm afraid for many it's just a slogan.
It's important that we all remember that "Loving your neighbor as yourself" is not a man-made idea. In fact, it's quite natural for us all to be selfish, self-centered, judgmental, and all about us. The only thing that changes any of us is God's love in us. After all, how can you share something with others you don't have flowing through your heart?
As parents, we have to be intentional about everything we do. "If you aim for nothing you'll hit it every time." My wife and I are clearly aiming to raise four boys full of faith and love. These are not things we think about some days, but every day.
First, please allow me to address the faith issue. Most homes today are living faithless. Just throwing the words around "we have faith" is not enough. Your kids have to see your faith in action. Then need to see you living like a man or woman of God, studying God's word, praying, and making being a part of a local church a priority. By the way, over 30,000 folks throughout Colleton County alone don't attend church. Most kids are being raised in homes that don't even show a sign that faith is anywhere near a priority.
Now, faith was important to mention because it's only by grace through faith that we are able to receive God's love into our hearts. Once God's love consumes our hearts it will spill into our home and family. However, your love must be intentional and you have to constantly teach your kids to do the same. Not just by your words alone, but your genuine actions.
We teach our kids to love the unlovable. We make it clear to our kids that God sees no color, stereotypes, past, but only souls. We make it clear to our kids that if you can help someone hurting or in need, do what you can. Anything less is not of God.
My heart smiles when one of my boys gives someone a hug that could be the only hug they receive. My heart smiles when one of my boys prays with someone struggling. My heart smiles when one of my boys tells me he stood up for someone who was being bullied at school. My heart smiles when there is no doubt my boys know we love them, Jesus loves them, and God has called them on a mission to love others.
Don't get me wrong. Our home is not perfect in anyway. But, I can promise you that we do everything we can to walk in God's love and teach our four boys what it means to really live and love like Jesus. This can't ever be taught by words alone, but parents we must live by example everyday.
(John 14:12)(NIV) My command is this: Love each other as I have loved you.
(1 Corinthians 13:1, 4-8)(NIV) If I speak in the tongues of men or of angels, but do not have love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal.
Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails.

Energy conservation and your comfort
As part of the ongoing effort to reduce energy consumption and the high cost of utility bills, Facilities Services will be implementing a more proactive approach to mechanical systems operation. You may notice a difference in space temperatures as we adjust the equipment schedules to more accurately mirror the confirmed academic and event schedules. Most individual rooms are controlled by sensors which will shut off airflow whenever a room is unoccupied. This saves a significant amount of energy, but may also cause rooms to be temporarily uncomfortable after they have sat empty for an extended length of time.
Saving energy is important, but so is comfort. Please feel free to contact Dave Bretscher, at 786-2238 or email@example.com with any questions or concerns that you may have concerning these energy management procedures.
As always, please contact the Facilities Services office, 786-2304, with any immediate heating or cooling issues.
LLCC Board of Trustees welcomes new faculty; hears update on college's Trutter Museum
The LLCC Board of Trustees welcomed new faculty and heard an update on the college's Trutter Museum at its August meeting Wednesday evening.

Board Chair Craig Findley commented on the new hires, "It is a credit to the college that we continue to attract such high quality faculty."
Also last night, Janet Semanik, development specialist with the LLCC Foundation, updated trustees on the college's Trutter Museum, which she coordinates. The museum, which opened to the community in 2004, was made possible through a gift from the estate of local architect L. Philip Trutter. He and his wife, Kathryn, travelled the world 10 times and donated their many treasured artifacts to LLCC, along with a $1.6 million gift to establish and maintain the collection, as well as establish a scholarship for students in healthcare related fields.
The Trutter's World Heritage Collection includes hundreds of artworks, including signed prints by Marc Chagall and Salvador Dali, along with thousands of slides, postcards, furniture, jewelry, coins and currency from their travels around the world. Since its opening, the museum has presented five exhibits, with the sixth, "Small World," set to open with a reception on Friday, Sept. 25, from 5-7 p.m. "Small World" will feature many of the Trutter Collection's small items, as well as big and bold art pieces, and works by LLCC's art faculty.
LLCC to host East Asia Film and Lecture Series this fall
First presentation Sept. 17
The Arts and Humanities department is hosting an East Asia Film and Lecture Series this fall and will offer a course in the cultural values of the Eastern world during the spring semester.
The film and lecture series, to be held the Thursday evenings of Sept. 17, Oct. 8 and Nov. 5 from 6-9 p.m. in the LLCC Trutter Center, is in partnership with the Center for East Asian and Pacific Studies at the University of Illinois, Urbana/Champaign. Everyone is invited to attend at no charge.
The first presentation Sept. 17 will be the film "Shower," a 1999 comedy/drama directed by Zhang Yang and winner of Best Picture and Best Director at the 2000 Seattle International Film Festival, among other honors.
Critically acclaimed around the world, "Shower" features hilarious characters and stunning performances from well-known Chinese actors. When successful businessman Da Ming is summoned by his younger brother to come home to his father's old-style bathhouse in Beijing, he can't wait to return to his fast-paced modern life. But time amongst the crazy cast of characters that frequent the bathhouse gives him a new appreciation for traditional old ways. When a tragic event causes sudden change, Da Ming must choose between the prosperous life he's made for himself and his responsibility to his family and his heritage.
Discussion of the film will be led by Joy Yang Jiao, a Ph.D. candidate at the Institute of Communication Research, College of Media at UIUC. Ms. Jiao's research focuses on transnational cultural students, media representation and public diplomacy. She has taught classes at UIUC in Media and Cinema Studies, Popular Culture, the Social Aspects of News and Comparative World Literature. She is actively engaged in various international programs, including serving as the spokesperson for the annual U.S. legislator delegation to China.

Emergencies happen–be prepared!
With the beginning of a new term upon us, the LLCC Police Department would like to remind College staff and faculty to take a few minutes and refresh their memory in regards to what steps they need to take should an emergency situation occur on campus. Some resources to help you include:
• Emergency Evacuation Maps – Posted in all classrooms and common areas on LLCC campuses, these maps depict routes of egress from your location, the location of the nearest severe weather safe areas, as well as the locations of fire alarm pull stations and fire extinguishers. These maps are also included in the back of the print version of the LLCC campus directory.
• Emergency Quick Reference Guide – Posted in all classrooms and office areas [and available by request from the campus Police Department], these handy reference guides provide quick and easy access to basic information concerning what to do in specific types of emergencies.
• LLCC Emergency Procedures for Main Campus and Emergency Procedures for Outreach Centers – can be accessed on the employee portal, LLCC Police page.
In addition, all faculty and administrators should review the guidelines for assisting physically disabled students/staff during an emergency. This information can also be found on the employee portal, LLCC Police page.
Keeping the Lincoln Land Community College campus community safe is a responsibility that rests with all of us, and on behalf of the LLCC Police Department, I thank you for your assistance!

Worthing High School recently went through the process of choosing its new student leaders, and I spoke to Mr Mariosa to find out more. It is becoming more and more important for schools to not only create academic opportunities for its students, but to also give them extra-curricular choices to further their skills as a person. Head Boy and Girl, the Deputies and Senior and Regular Prefects are just some of the opportunities available for pupils at Worthing High to exercise their student voice. And the next generation of young adults to go through the school have now gone through a tough interview process that tries to replicate real-life situations.
"intensive interview experience"
Mr Mariosa, the teacher at Worthing High who helps the Student Leaders, outlined to me the process that candidates had to go through to be selected. Firstly, following application forms demonstrating interest in various positions, there was a carousel of interviews with members of the Student Council and teachers, followed by a presentation and activity to the full school council and an interview with the Headteacher and current Head Boy and Girl. He said it was "absolutely" effective in preparing students for life and was a "wonderful experience to be involved in". The extensive process students had to go through really helped develop the leadership skills of those involved and will hopefully prepare them for future, similar experiences in the world of work.
"a great experience"
When he was at school, there were no Student Leadership opportunities like Head Boy and Girl, and whilst he was a prefect at Sixth Form, he said that this process was an "interesting approach" for him. He thinks this is an important opportunity for students to have and said students should pursue such a role because they can "develop skills that perhaps you know that you have, or didn't know that you had, moving on to the future".
As Mr Mariosa said to me when asked about developing leadership skills, it is a "great experience to develop that now", and at Worthing High School, they really are focused on bringing that to the forefront of students minds and developing not only their academic skills, but also their leadership skills and their skills as a person.

How Does Music Affect Your Child's Health?
It may not be math or science, but music can play an important role in your child's social and mental development. Studies have shown that listening and singing music as well as playing an instrument can be highly beneficial if started early.
Linguistic development
It's no myth that children who are musical are better adapted to learning both their mother tongue as well as foreign languages. Music trains the left side of the brain, the side most involved with processing language. According to the music advocacy organization, Children's Music Workshop, music also creates synapses in the brain that link familiar songs to new information.
Brain stimulation
Children who are musically engaged have shown high levels of neural activity compared to those who are not. According to some studies, children who received 15 months of musical instruction improved in fine motor skill and sound discrimination.
Higher grades and test scores
Recent studies have found a relationship between better grades and higher test scores among those students who study the arts. Learning music also improves reasoning skills, increases IQ and enhances memory- all-important cognitive developments for students to succeed.
Creative confidence
With music, children have the chance to express themselves in a creative way. As a child develops, musical education builds self-esteem and confidence and positively changes the way they solve problems in their social life.
Cultural literacy
If anything, music is an international language that everyone can enjoy. Children will become more engaged with the world around them and have a greater understanding of what cultural aspects bring us together.
Consider enrolling your child in a music class today to enrich their development and creative skills. Local Indianapolis music classes for kids are available from organizations like The Music Playhouse. Who knows? Maybe he or she could be the next Mozart!

Hello and welcome to another baking round-up!
During February foodies all over the country celebrated Bramley Apple Week and I was no exception. The classic cooking apple is such a deliciously versatile ingredient and is perfect for cakes and bakes. Hence the topic for this month baking round-up, Celebrating the Mighty Apple. After looking through many UK food blogs I found that I am not the only one who loves to use apples in baking. Today I am going to share with you some of the top baking recipes that use apples as the star!
Undoubtably the favourite way to use apples has to be in a crumble. This is a much loved pudding in our house and everyone has their own signature twist to this much loved pudding.
Imagine warm, apple muffins combined with a crumble and a tray bake and you get Apple Crumble Breakfast Muffin Tray Bake from Gillian's Kitchen. This delicious bake can be easily transformed from a breakfast muffin to an afternoon tea tray bake to a sponge pudding covered in custard. Perfect!
The following bake is my families favourite. This Bramley Apple Week we celebrated with a warming Apple and Plum Crumble. The fruit has been accompanied by cinnamon, which goes perfectly with the apple and plum. While the crumble topping has a nutty finish with the addition of ground almonds.
Another classic apple combination has to be apple and blackberry and is used by The Jolly Rabbit in the following recipe. This Apple and Blackberry Crumble is not only full of fruit but with the oats and pecan topping it is also gluten-free as well as vegan.
Only Crumbs Remain has transformed the crumble pudding into a cupcake delight. The apple and custard flavours have been incorporated into this cupcake recipe to bring you a sumptuous crumble creation with these Apple Crumble and Custard Cupcakes.
The final crumble recipe this month is one that has really given the classic apple crumble an interesting twist. Recipes Made Easy has moved away from her trusty apple and rhubarb and gone for new flavour combination. This Apple Crumble with Fennel is one that I am really curious to try, we love fennel so have a feeling that we will also love this pudding!
The final recipes that I have chosen to feature show us that apples can be used in much more than just a crumble.
A sweet way to start the day has to be with a muffin and Everyday Healthy Recipes shows us how to make a lovely gluten-free muffin. These Gluten Free Coconut and Apple Muffins would, in my mind, be perfect at any time of day. The sourness from the apples enhances the coconut flavours and leaves these muffins perfectly moist.
The following recipe is a sweet, enriched chocolate bread recipe. Baking bread is such a therapeutic thing to do and despite the length of time it can take the end result makes the wait worth while. My Chocolate, Apple and Cinnamon Couronne uses dried apples which I have found to be a fantastic stand-by product to keep in the cupboard.
The final recipe shows us how truly versatile apple can be. This savoury recipe from Fuss Free Flavours shows us that apples can be perfectly used in savoury bakes as well as sweet ones. These Goats Cheese, Thyme and Bramley Apple Muffins will make the ideal addition to any picnic, packed lunch or as a weekend breakfast treat.
After reading these recipes I am sure that you will be adding apples to your shopping list. I know that they are constantly on mine!
I will be back next month with my food round-up which is going to be all about recipes to celebrate St Patrick's day so if you have a recipe that you would like me to consider featuring please add it to the linky on the Hijacked By Twins Round-up Page, email me at [email protected] or send me a tweet at @k_phillipson.
More delicious apple recipes!

The Federal Circuit Puts a Damper on Forum Shopping
By Vincent J. Allen
The Eastern District of Texas has the reputation of being a favorable forum for filing patent infringement suits. For the year ending September 31, 2007, more patent cases were filed in the Eastern District than in any other district in the nation. The Central District of California, despite having a substantially greater population of businesses, trailed the Eastern District's 359 filings by 25.

Facial pain and jaw pain can be the result of a range of health problems. If the patient has a sore jaw, a TMJ diagnosis is particularly likely. TMJ disorders are jaw problems caused by swelling deep within the jaw joint.
But before seeking treatment for temporomandibular disorder from a TMJ specialist, you need to know if TMJ dysfunction is the cause of your facial pain - and that involves ruling out other possibilities.
Face pain can be a result of dental problems such as an infection or an abscessed tooth, or it can result from jaw alignment problems. Dental treatment, sometimes including orthodontics, can relieve tooth pain.
Pain in the face can also be the result of sinusitis or sinus infection. When it comes to the head and face, where you feel the pain may not actually be the source. Jaw trouble can lead to headaches, or a tooth abscess may masquerade as jaw pain.
Oh, and getting hit in the face can definitely lead to facial pain!
If it's not any of these, it might well be TMJ disorder. The other diagnosis to consider is trigeminal neuralgia, an alarmingly painful nerve problem that leads to the sensation of sharp pain in the face, even with the smallest stimulus. Treatments are available, but the condition is commonly considered one of the most painful that exist.
TMJ dysfunction is a living nightmare for an estimated 50 million Americans who suffer from this distress. And the fact that many dentists and physicians fail to diagnose this disorder means that people are suffering needlessly and spending money on office visits and drugs that give them no relief. But there is hope when TMJ is diagnosed correctly.
Symptoms include head, neck, and back aches. You may also have earaches, bouts of deafness, or ringing in your ears. You may hear clicking and popping when you chew. Some patients experience dizziness, chronic fatigue, and difficulty swallowing. And it usually starts with jaw misalignment.
When there's an imbalance in the jaws, the muscles in the neck and shoulders try to compensate, causing pains and headaches that can't be relieved until the jaws are realigned.
How do dentists realign the jaws? With a special dental splint and by repositioning the teeth using grinding procedures to produce a better fit between the upper and lower teeth. In a small number of instances, surgery may be required.
If you or someone you love suffer from the symptoms of TMJ dysfunction, call your dentist's office and set up a consultation. It may end years of suffering and pain.

Two Bovada Sportsbook (SBR rating A) players have submitted similar accounts of a possible live, in-play betting glitch.
The first report was made on the SBR Sportsbook Forum on October 30.
A player claimed that he locked in a live wager on the Patriots -3 with Bovada, and that after the wager was accepted and confirmed, his bet ticket history showed the line changed to Patriots -4.
Sportsbook Review followed up with Bovada to relay the player's feedback and was told that the technical team was investigating. The normal behavior, per Bovada, is that the player would be notified of the line change prior to the bet being accepted, giving the player the opportunity to accept or reject the revised line.
The second Bovada complaint was registered today where a player detailed submitting an in-play tennis wager for over 17.5 games in the Andy Murray vs. Richard Gasquet match, after his ticket was locked in his bet history slip changed to 18.5 games.
The player provided two screen captures, one showing the bet at over 17.5 games with a unique ticket number assigned (indicating the wager was accepted), and a second screen capture showing the line at 18.5 games.
Fortunately, in both examples the sports bettors were unaffected by the line change and cashed their tickets anyway. However, the players could have easily lost both wagers on account of the line getting worse by a point.
Sportsbook Review asks Bovada players with live betting feedback to write to email@example.com.
SBR reported that Bovada upgraded their software this July to be fully responsive and mobile-friendly. It is unknown if this unconfirmed bug may be as a result of that software update. SBR will update following Bovada's investigation of this software issue and post the conclusion inside of this report.

If you're looking to check out work from a rising voice in the horror community who's making some very big moves right now, look no further than Roxanne Benjamin. She's been making her mark on the genre for a while now, having produced a number of projects, including the V/H/S series, and also having directed segments in both Southbound and XX. Body at Brighton Rock, however, is a pretty big milestone for Benjamin because that film marks her feature debut as a director.
It stars Karina Fontes as Wendy, a part-time employee at a state park. She isn't really the outdoorsy type and is severely undertrained compared to her friends, but Wendy is determined to prove them wrong so agrees to take on a more challenging trail assignment. Sure enough though, Wendy gets lost and not only does she wind up out in the backcountry all alone, but she also happens upon a dead body deep in the woods.
Benjamin celebrated the world premiere of Body at Brighton rock back in March at SXSW, but now that the film is making its way to theaters and On Demand on April 26th, I can finally share my conversation with Benjamin at the festival! We covered everything from the challenges of getting a first feature off the ground to making a movie out in the woods, the status of her Night of the Comet remake script, her hopes for the future of the horror genre, and so much more. You can check it all out in the video interview at the top of this article!
I'd also like to take a moment to give special thanks to our Collider Studio partner, A-List Communications. At the Supper Suite venue in Austin, libations were flowing courtesy of El Tesoro Tequila, Blue Moon Belgian White, and Hint Water. Without these fine folks, we wouldn't be able to share conversations about movies like Body at Brighton Rock with all of you, so another big thank you to our partners for their support.
Roxanne Benjamin:
- How another movie falling apart inspired her to get to work on Body at Brighton Rock.
- Benjamin on overcoming failure while making movies and how that's incorporated in the Body at Brighton Rock story, too.
- How Benjamin came up with the core concept and main character.
- Benjamin has gotten lost in the woods herself before.
- Who remembers the book Hatchet?
- Having a main character who makes a ton of mistakes over the course of the story.
- As horror fans, are we better prepared should a horror movie scenario play out in real life?
- Benjamin on embracing a Western theme.
- With all Benjamin's producing experience, was there anything about directing her first feature that really surprised her?
- The shoot was only nine and a half days; having to hike the entire time.
- The biggest challenges working in this terrain.
- What's next? The status of her Night of the Comet remake.
- The one big thing Benjamin learned from making Body at Brighton Rock that she'll take with her to future projects.
- Benjamin speaks to women in horror, and the bright future ahead.
Here's the official synopsis of Body at Brighton Rock:
Wendy, a part-time summer employee at a mountainous state park, takes on a rough trail assignment at the end of the season, trying to prove to her friends that she's capable enough to do the job. When she takes a wrong turn and ends up deep in the backcountry, she stumbles upon what might be a potential crime scene. Stuck with no communication after losing her radio and with orders to guard the site, Wendy must fight the urge to run and do the harder job of staying put — spending the night deep in the wilderness, facing down her worst fears and proving to everyone – including herself – that she's made of stronger stuff than they think she is.

Leadership 100, one of the most prominent organizations advancing Orthodoxy and Hellenism in America, celebrated the 35th anniversary of its founding on February 21-24 at the Boca Raton Resort & Club in Florida.
His Eminence Archbishop Demetrios of America spoke about "philoxenia," the Greek concept of hospitality, during the opening forum of the the 28th Annual Leadership 100 Conference.
Watch the leaders of the organization talk about the past and future of L100:
A health panel organized by pharmaceutical legend and L100 Chairman Emeritus George Behrakis featuring Drs. Harry T. Anastopoulos and George Dangas offered meaningful insights on how medical advancements and prevention can help us stay healthier throughout our lives.
Events on February 22 included a General Assembly, a lecture by His Eminence, and a luncheon and business forum addressed by George Veras. Veras is Chief Operating Officer of the Pro Football Hall of Fame and won ten National Sports Emmy Awards as a writer, producer and director of national live television events and documentaries.
Veras also produced seven Olympic Games for CBS Sports and NBC Sports.
On Saturday, February 23, events included a brunch and special forum conducted by Stellene Volandes, who became Editor-in-Chief of Town & Country magazine on March 8, 2016.
Before her appointment, she had been style director at the magazine since March 2012, shaping the fashion and society features each month. She is the daughter of long-time Leadership 100 members John and Marcella Volandes.
The day's events concluded Saturday evening with the black-tie Grand Banquet, at which the "Archbishop lakovos Leadership 100 Awards for Excellence" were presented to Stellene Volandes and George Verras.
Leadership 100 has a great deal to celebrate as it turns 35 with over 1,000 active members, who all pledge $100,000 to the organization. The non-profit 501(c)(3) organization supports the National Ministries of the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese in advancement of Orthodoxy and Hellenism and other charitable causes.
Since 1984, when it was first founded under the guidance of Archbishop Iakovos, the organization has distributed over $50 million in grants supporting studies for the priesthood at Hellenic College/Holy Cross School of Theology and other national ministries.
It has made donations to religious and Greek language education; Youth, young adult and camping Ministries; Family and marriage Services; Inter-Orthodox, Ecumenical and Interfaith Relations; Internet Ministries; and the Home Mission.
The Leadership 100 group has also provided humanitarian assistance during national and international crises.

Carrickfergus is set for a Royal visitor this weekend – and will ensure a welcome fit for a king.
King William III will be rowed into the town's harbour in a recreation of his arrival in the Co Antrim town ahead of his famous battle with King James at the Boyne over 300 years ago.
Saturday's re-enactment will be the highlight of the Royal Landing, the now annual four-day festival marking the historic event.
King William will be met by soldiers and dragoons dressed in period costume, before leading a parade on horseback through the town centre.
The large crowds enjoying the spectacle will be able to avail of live entertainment, a fun fair and an historical exhibition, among other activities.
The annual pageant will also incorporate a Lambeg drumming workshop and open-air musical concert prior to the main event. A separate concert will take place on Sunday afternoon. All three events will be held at Carrick's Castle Green.
This year, organisers of the pageant have chosen Air Ambulance Northern Ireland as their official charity partner.
Chairman of the Carrickfergus Historical Re-Enactment Group, Darren McAllister, said: "Following the success of last year's four-day festival, we are very pleased to run the Royal Landing again this year. We are delighted to say the event is continuing to grow and develop, and this year is set to be the biggest in recent memory, as we welcome participants from Scotland, England, Donegal and throughout Northern Ireland."
Mr McAllister hailed the tourism and economic benefits of the annual pageant with local hotels filled to capacity.
He added: "The pageant is a family-friendly event and we would encourage everyone to come to Carrick and witness for themselves this unique historical and cultural celebration."
The first-ever Carrick pageant was held following the Second World War in the summer of 1946 when local lodges decided to re-enact King William's landing. The re-enactments were staged consecutively until 1952 when the town could no longer accommodate the growing numbers in attendance. It was revived in 1982 and has been held annually in June ever since. Last year, the event was rebranded as the Royal Landing.
This year's festival commences this evening at 7pm with the drumming workshop and display. The main parade and landing re-enactment will take place on Saturday afternoon, commencing at 12.15pm. For more information visit the Royal Landing's Facebook page.

- My Rating: [C+], I gave it a (2.9 of 5) on Ratebeer.com
Honesty Box Select Apple Cider – Independent Liquor Ltd., 7% ABV, 440ml, (Auckland, New Zealand)
printed on the back of the can:
"From a farm where you can purchase fruit from an unattended stand at the end of a laneway, by simply putting your money into an honesty box, we bring you this crisp and refreshing cider.
It's lovingly crafted by our ciderers with the tastiest fruit. The sort you might find with an honesty box. Of course, we paid for ours." (-interesting info on what exactly an honesty box is)
- Style: (apple) Cider
- Taste: Bubbly cloying dense sugar red apple juice/cider vinegar acidic tart
- Where I got it : BC Liquor Stores
- How much: $2.50 – 440ml., July 2014
- Do I love this enough to drink it again: no
- Would I recommend this to cider aficionados:
Visual: Aluminum can, odd size. Pours straw yellow with a smallish dissipating head, a very thin layer of micro retention, several slow steady large CO2 streams.
Nose: filtered apple juice, hints of yeast (lvl-5)-pungency
Attack: crisp, large CO2 fizzy, incoming dense sweet
Mid-palate: (lvl-7)-sweetness, dense sugars, high acidity, medium tartness, (MAIN) mild apple cider vinegar, red apple juice
Finish: mild alcohol bitternesss, cloying sugars, micro bubbly apple exhale.
Summary: Almost guaranteed to give those who are prone to it like me, heartburn. Lots of acidity as well as added sugar in this, best with a meal or snack. Too sweet-cloying with just a basic apple/apple cider vinegar flavour, decent bubbly mouthfeel.

CARDONE has some of the healthiest employees in the industry. Perhaps not in a strict diet and exercise kind of way—but in a genuinely dedicated way that has publicly earned our active lifestyles recognition from the Philadelphia Business Journal three years running.
Philadelphia Business Journal also praised CARDONE for expanding the scope of our wellness program well beyond physical health. We're examining mental, emotional, internal, and external health factors to provide a personalized, holistic approach for each one of our valued employees.
Our commitment to the physical and emotional well-being goes beyond a simple program. It includes investment in:
These staff members are in addition to health self-assessments and biometric testing. Providing this type of testing has helped us amass a large amount of data during the past 6 years, all of which has made it possible for us to predict potential health concerns and detail monthly/yearly trends in employee wellness.
CARDONE is self-insured, which means we provide better medical benefits to our employees than traditional insurers. With this responsibility squarely in our capable hands, we make sure what we offer fits our commitment to total well-being and is of good value—not some prepackaged collection of add-ons.
We strongly believe that empirical data is critical to helping our people improve their lives. Biometric screening gives our employees a detailed view of common health indicators. With a picture of their complete health, our people can avoid potential problems down the road.
Employees are then periodically retested, which provides even better stats, resulting in healthier people — and who doesn't like that? The result is that while everyone else in the country is experiencing skyrocketing health care costs, CARDONE employees enjoy premiums that continue to be less than the industry average.
In case you're wondering, yes, we do have the standard perks you would expect working for a company of 6,000 employees.
These perks include 100 percent in-network medical coverage, dental coverage, a flexible spending account, and $0 costs for approved prescription drugs. All of this is on top of our robust 401(K) plan with a guaranteed match and competitive vacation allowances.
They say imitation is the most sincere form of flattery. Well, consider us flattered. Our Employee Wellness Program and benefits package is a model for large companies throughout the United States. We see this as a bonus to our efforts—people outside of CARDONE being treated to a better workplace.

We have taken our Orbitkey with the multi-tool through airport security on several occasions: both domestically (AU) and in international flights, and have not encountered any issues at all.
The cutter on the multi-tool is not like a blade, and the edges are not very sharp to be dangerous. It is sharp enough to cut thru tape, but definitely not sharp enough to cut through skin.

Are our trains going down the toilet?Posted: August 28, 2011 Filed under: Public transport | Tags: Box Hill, Greg Barber, Jan Garrard, Rail station, The Greens, toilet 5 Comments
There's a theory that women are an "indicator species" of how bike-friendly a city is. According to Deakin University's Jan Garrard, "if you want to know if an urban environment supports cycling, you can forget about all the detailed 'bikeability indexes' — just measure the proportion of cyclists who are female".
I reckon you can say much the same thing about public toilets and public transport. Good public transport systems have good toilets because good managers focus on the welfare of users. Maybe users who are given a good system take better care of it.
The idea that a major urban node like a rail station doesn't have toilets for its thousands of daily users is simply appalling. We wouldn't tolerate their absence in other public places like a school, a stadium or a mall.
What's more basic than a call of nature? If you're travelling by train and you've got infants that need to be changed, or pre-teens that have difficulty planning ahead, or you're pregnant, or you've been on the turps, or you've got an aging bladder, or you or someone in your care is feeling sick, then having access to a toilet is a fundamental human necessity.
Even in Manhattan, one of the world's great public transport oriented cities, a busy interchange station like Union Square, with tens of thousands of people passing through each day, does not have toilets accessible to the public. Dense nodes of human activity are the very places that should have toilets!
Fortunately we have toilets at major CBD stations in Melbourne, but most suburban stations don't. According to Greens MP, Greg Barber, two thirds of stations in Melbourne do not have toilets for public use. Even some premium stations don't open the toilets at all times, even when staffed. Mr Barber says there are 40 stations with more than 5,000 patrons per day that don't have public toilets.
For example, Box Hill is the tenth busiest rail station in Melbourne with circa 10,400 users per day on average, however according to Wiki:
Despite being a Premium station, there are no public toilets within the station complex. Toilets for station patrons were originally located out in Main Street Mall, however, they have been closed permanently due to vandalism. Station patrons must now use the toilets provided by the adjoining shopping centre, which are only open during trading hours.
Lack of privacy is a disadvantage of public transport relative to the car, so managers should be working hard to minimise passengers' fear they might be put in an embarrassing position. Passengers shouldn't have to plan their travel around the risk of needing unscheduled toilet stops.
Why are there so few public toilets at rail stations? The former Minister for Transport in the Brumby Government said toilets at stations weren't open "for good reasons: first of all for issues of security, and for issues of cleanliness, and the like". I acknowledge it costs money to clean graffiti and repair vandalised fittings. It probably costs much more to keep toilets clean (and were toilets opened at stations I expect users would demand a high and costly standard of maintenance). But I reckon that's just one of those base line costs, like safety, that just have to be accepted – it's the price of simply being in the business.
The excuse I find really odious is that toilets should be closed to prevent druggies using them. That's really cutting off your nose to spite your face. There are other strategies for managing this problem – the Government's promised PSOs should help – but even if toilets are used by junkies, they should nevertheless be kept open and kept in good order so ordinary passengers aren't punished when in extremis. Travellers will doubtless avoid using toilets frequented by addicts, but they need to know they're there when nature calls urgently and unexpectedly.
I am of course aware of the tragic incident at Roxburgh station last week, when a woman was hit and killed by a train while attempting to go to the toilet in nearby scrubland. That was a terribly sad event but I'm not arguing, as Channel 7 seemed to, that the absence of a toilet was a direct cause of her death. I don't think that's either fair or logical.
In a train system where the operators think about passengers' welfare, well maintained toilets will be available at all, or at least the great majority, of stations. To paraphrase Jane Garrard, if you want to know if a public transport system is good – if it puts the wellbeing of its users as its number one priority – then just measure the access and quality of the toilets provided for users. For that matter, sounds like it would be a good indicator of the quality of cities generally.
Update: speaking of trains and toilets – this is awful.

5 Comments on "Are our trains going down the toilet?"
There's no evidence of users demanding a high standard of maintenance, I think you will struggle to find a nice toilet to use across the Melbourne suburban train network. Southern Cross is about the best, but they are quite a hike from the suburban platforms.
In 1998 after a self funded study tour of 12 Dutch Cities taking about 200 photos and talking with the manager of the Dutch Bicycle Master Plan and collecting all the data on bicycle accidents I came to the same conclusion as Jan Garrard but the planners, road engineers and a lot pathetic bicycle tourists and they did not want to know.
My feature articles in the cycling press, Papers at bicycle planning conferences, transport research conferences .Its so good to see Jan's papers (Scientific American 2006) etc.
The influence of the palnners been by and large Negative. I used tell them get on a plane get off your butt and to the Netherlands hire a bike and learn about world best practice.
Public transport was even worse.
Also lacking are often sufficient seats (eg: Finders Street) and proper station clocks next to the departure board.
Surely the recent "exeloo" self cleaning public toilets could easily be installed on most suburban platforms or at least premium stations.
well I have seen people go in public at stations. The pee right on the station and pee of the platform. I have seen toilets closed on south bank and people doing there business right in the yarra. I see the police wait and then bust them for doing it. If you have to go. You have to go. I was on a train in peak hour and I saw a passenger sick and he just did it in the open. Just let a big brown fudgly choc sundae go. It was horrible because the air con was not working either and the carriage wreaked. Then he walked out of the train with no pants on . ha ha.

I've been thinking about this command of Jesus: "Do not let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God; trust also in me" (John 14:1).
I have a responsibility, in fact, I am under direct orders from Jesus to "not let" myself be troubled upon hearing bad news. The specific bad news Jesus is talking about is that he was going away. Still, in the face of this bad news, Jesus told the disciples to take control of themselves and stop being troubled and instead to start trusting.
If I willfully ignore this command it could possibly be understood to be sin (disobedience). Even if I don't go that far, I can surely understood that I will be the one who suffers if I ignore the Lord's intention for my life. Simply stated, my life will not be of the quality it could be if I lived as Jesus ordered.
I may not like it when God doesn't answer my prayers the way I directed him too but that doesn't seem to bother God very much. He looks me in the eye and rather than explaining it to me simply says: "Trust me."
I'd better do it.

War plans against Iraq aggravate conflict over Cyprus
Justus Leicht
24 January 2003
During the past weeks, tens of thousands of Turkish Cypriots have demonstrated for reunification with the Greek part of the island and for accession to the European Union (EU). These mass demonstrations were directed against Rauf Denktash, the president of the "Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus" (TRNC), who has blocked the proposals by the United Nations (UN) to end the division of the island. Only Turkey recognizes the TRNC.
Last week's demonstration was attended by 50,000 to 70,000 people, which is about one third of the population living in the Turkish part of the island. A counter-demonstration in support of Denktash drew no more than 300 participants.
These figures underscore the fact that Turkish nationalism, which dominated the North of the country for nearly 30 years, has lost almost all support.
The division of Cyprus began with the invasion of Turkish troops in 1974. One third of the population—Greeks as well as Turks—were forced to leave their homes. The island, where a Greek majority and a Turkish minority had previously coexisted peacefully, was divided up into two separate "ethnically cleansed" areas.
The Turkish invasion took place in reaction to a coup by fanatical Greek nationalists. With the support of the military junta governing in Athens, they had overthrown President Makarios, a moderate Greek nationalist, and replaced him with the notorious terrorist Nicos Sampson.
Since the Turkish invasion, the issue of Cyprus has served right-wing politicians and military officers in both Athens and Ankara as a welcome pretext to whip up nationalist sentiments. However, economic developments have undermined the influence of this type of nationalism. The recent demonstrations are an expression of social discontent that has accumulated over a long period.
Despite the fact that the Turkish part of Cyprus encompasses about one third of the island, including two thirds of all arable land, the difference in living standards between the internationally recognized Greek South and the internationally ostracized Turkish North has continually widened to the latter's disadvantage. In the South, average income per capita is three times as high as in the North. Since the 1970s, more than 10,000 Turkish Cypriots have left the North. In the past, right-wing settlers from the Turkish mainland took their place. Many Turkish workers are crossing the Greek border every day, in order to earn some money in Southern Cyprus. While the economy in the South experienced a boom due to international subsidies and tourism, all that boomed in the North was inflation and money laundering, and the Turkish population sank into poverty.
The recent decision by the European Union to accept (Southern) Cyprus as a new member threatens to deepen the social divide between the two parts of the island.
Resistance by the Turkish military
After its election victory in Turkey last November, the AKP (Party for Justice and Development) led by Recep Tayip Erdogan promised a new policy. The Cyprus conflict was to be resolved in order to hasten negotiations on Turkey's own accession to the EU. In December, the EU decided to accept Cyprus as a full member in 2004, and the UN presented a new plan to overcome the division of the island.
However, Denktash, with the support of the Turkish army leadership, has since blocked this plan. While the Turkish population of Cyprus is protesting against Denktash in the streets, and Erdogan has been warning that the will of the people must not be ignored, high-ranking military figures came out with several statements in the Turkish media declaring that the UN plan for Cyprus posed a threat to Turkey's security interests.
The Turkish military is clinging to Northern Cyprus for ideological, economic and strategic reasons.
Ideologically, they justify their extraordinary power within the state by claiming that they uphold the heritage of the founder of the Turkish state, Kemal Atatürk. Any retreat in relation to Cyprus would deal a heavy blow to this nationalist myth.
Economically, the occupation and division of the island creates a lucrative source of income for members of the military as well as for the criminal fascist gangs, the Gray Wolves, which constitute a key pillar of Denktash's regime. It has been an open secret for a long time that the money laundered in the numerous banks and casinos in Northern Cyprus comes from drug dealing and is used to finance the dirty war against the Kurdish minority in Turkey.
Following the de facto capitulation of the Kurdish nationalist movement, the PKK, even sections of the military regard the mafia structures that developed within the army during the 15 years of war against the Kurds as an obstacle to Turkey's economic development. Still, the strategic importance of Cyprus has gained even greater significance for them.
At present, Northern Cyprus is a virtual military protectorate, inhabited by 200,000 civilians and 35,000 soldiers. The troops sent over from the Turkish mainland control most of the public administration, including the police and the fire brigades. The island is the largest military base in the eastern Mediterranean Ocean. The oil pipeline from Baku to Ceyhan—construction of which has just begun—will end just opposite of Cyprus on the Turkish Mediterranean coast. In addition, Cyprus is situated on the sea route between Turkey and her ally Israel (while the land route passes through Syria).
The role of the US
The Turkish military leaders feel strengthened by the US war plans. Turkey is to serve as an important base for the war against Iraq. Washington demands that Ankara permit the deployment of large military units that will form a northern front against Iraq. Media reports have spoken of the Pentagon stationing 80,000 US soldiers in Turkey as well as its use of eight Turkish air bases and three civilian ports.
So far, the AKP government has been hesitant about fully complying with these requests. While the Turkish government depends on the US for cash and credits, it still fears the reaction of the public. According to recent polls, 80 to 90 per cent of Turks are opposed to a war against their neighboring country.
This is why the US government is turning more and more directly to the Turkish military. On Monday, US Chief of Staff Richard Myers visited Ankara for a two-hour talk with his Turkish counterpart, Hilmi Özkök. Afterwards, he praised the close strategic collaboration between the two nations.
For public consumption, the army leadership is leaving the decision on Turkey's position regarding the war to the government. According to a report by the American press agency UPI, however, they are proceeding quite differently behind the scenes: "Ozkok has just held his own tricky meeting with Prime Minister Abdullah Gul, and reports from sources close to the military tell UPI the general informed the premier that 'news reports about "indecision" regarding the Iraq issue had upset the Turkish armed forces.' The Turkish generals are keen to support the United States, claiming that since Washington has clearly decided to go ahead, Turkey had better be on the winning side to ensure that it has a major voice in post-war decisions on the future of Iraq and the role of the Kurds."
In the New York Times of 16 January 2003, columnist William Safire was most explicit in spelling out Washington's attitude towards Turkey, a stance marked by cynicism and imperialist arrogance. Having praised Turkey as a long-standing reliable ally of the US, Safire complained that "...the growth of democracy in Turkey... has introduced an element of uncertainty in that alliance. The new, freely elected government in Ankara, with roots more Islamic than secular, is waffling about joining President Bush's 'coalition of the willing' against Iraq. The old Turkish power structure—the nation's military leadership and governmental establishment, which previously called the shots—is laying back to show Europeans how sensitive to public opinion Turkey has become."
He then proceeded to tell the Turkish government in no uncertain terms what was required if it wanted "an unwavering superpower on its side for decades to come ... What should Turkey's new leaders do? First, make prompt parliamentary and construction arrangements to welcome the US troops. And then go the extra mile: Volunteer to mass 100,000 Turkish troops on its border with northern Iraq."
Meanwhile, the army leadership has stepped up its pressure on the AKP government. Early last week, General Özkök called a press conference and denounced the elected civilian government in a manner that left nobody in doubt as to the real power relationships in Turkey. He rejected any criticisms of the internal purges carried out by the army against suspected Islamists, vehemently opposed any loosening of the ban on headscarves in public buildings and then proceeded to address the main issue: Cyprus, he said, was of essential importance for Turkey's ability to avert possible dangers.
The General's warning was promptly heeded. A few days later, the foreign ministry stated that Turkey's policy towards Cyprus remained "unchanged" and that any solution would have to take into account the "sovereign equality" of both states; i.e., the recognition of Northern Cyprus as an independent state. Turkey's Prime Minister Gül came out explicitly in support of "President" Denktash. Turkey, he said, would continue to back him under all circumstances. The Turkish government now suddenly attributed the demonstrations of the Turkish Cypriots to provocations and Greek money. The government declared the UN plan unacceptable to Turkey.
As far as Turkish support for the Iraq war is concerned, the AKP government officially gave the US green light to have Turkey's military bases inspected by a team of 150 specialists. In return, the US Export Import Bank provided Turkey with a credit for the purchase of 14 American military helicopters.
Knowing that the US needs them for the war against Iraq, the Turkish military feel strengthened in their uncompromising position towards Cyprus.

The 791st Marine Strike Group was a unit of the Star Fleet Marine Corps deployed aboard the Sovereign-class cruiser USS Sovereign during at least the late 24th century.(Citation needed)
Nicknames and mottoes[edit | edit source]
The 791st MSG, assigned to the Sixth Battalion of the Seventh Brigade of the Star Fleet Marine Corps, was originally known as the "Dragon Scouts." Later, it changed its nickname to the "Dragon's Fury." For a brief time after that, it used the nickname of the "Dragon Flames." The original unit motto was, "Strength--Wisdom--Imagination--Fighting Spirit." Later, this was revised to read, "Don't Sweat the Small Stuff...and All Stuff is Small Stuff — ooh-rah!!!" As the Dragon Flames, the unit's motto became, "Beware The Wrath Of The Dragon." More recent directives from the Star Fleet Marine Corps reinstated the original nickname and motto, and when Telsek K'Mar resumed command, he had to file a formal request for permission to change the nickname and the motto, and after it was granted, he gave the unit the nickname "The Strike Dragons" and the motto, "Got A Can Opener?"
Marine Operational Specialty[edit | edit source]
The unit's primary specialty ("MOS") is Special Operations, or "SpecOps," which includes Intelligence and Covert Operations.
The SpecOps motto, drawn from that of the British Special Air Service of old Earth, is "Who Dares Wins."
The SpecOps slogan is "Seven years for seven minutes!" This reflects the fact that a SpecOps Star Fleet Marine may train for seven full years to be able to carry out missions not intended to be longer than seven minutes in duration.
The SpecOps device is the crossed knives of old Earth mercenaries.
History[edit | edit source]
The Andorian nobleman Duke Commander FrioDraca, when he was still a full lieutenant in Star Fleet, was one of its founding Officers-In-Charge, at which time he achieved the grade of Marine captain. Not long after Christopher Thomas Robinson was rescued from eighty-three years of suspended animation and accepted assignment as the Intelligence Officer of the USS Sovereign NCC-75000, aboard which starship the 791st is deployed, FrioDraca personally recruited him into the 791st and trained him into the Corps through its accelerated training course, which is informally known as "The Crucible." The Crucible is a holographic environmental simulator program that subjects prospective Star Fleet Marines who, as Star Fleet officers, have accepted assignment either to Star Fleet Intelligence or to the Security And Tactical Division of the Star Fleet Support Services Section, to the equivalent of four years of SFMC training in the span of two weeks.
Abbreviated command history[edit | edit source]
After the original FrioDraca was killed in action during the Federation-Dominion War, one of his friends and colleagues, Telsek K'Mar, took over as Officer-In-Charge in Frio's stead. Telsek was later assigned to duty on Star Base 217, and his deputy, Christopher Thomas Robinson, who had become a lieutenant colonel in the SFMC, subsequently took over as Officer-In-Charge of the 791st MSG. The recent directives from the SFMC, which followed the completion of Telsek's tour of Star Base 217 duty, relieved Robinson as OIC of the 791st and reassigned him as its Deputy Officer-In-Charge in favor of reinstating Telsek to the post of Officer-In-Charge. As OIC of the 791st, Robinson's main achievement was preventing the unit from being dissolved and maintaining its active status; it was he who changed the unit nickname to the "Dragon Flames" and the motto to "Beware The Wrath Of The Dragon." Those changes were reversed when he was relieved as the unit's OIC.
Merger with the dissolved 791st Marine Expeditionary Unit[edit | edit source]
As Telsek K'Mar was bringing his tour of duty aboard Star Base 217 to a close, one of Christopher Thomas Robinson's fellow SFMC officers, Lieutenant Colonel Jonathan Stephens, ignored severely compromised intelligence and took the Star Fleet Marine Expeditionary Unit whose Officer-In-Charge he was, MEU No. 791, into an ambush that wiped out so many of its personnel that it was ordered dissolved. Colonel Stephens himself was court-martialed and dismissed from the service for his "hazarding" conduct.
Forced to take command of the remaining personnel of MEU 791, Robinson requested, received, and acted upon permission to merge the two units. Even though MEU 791 had been a Battle M.E.C.H.A. unit whereas MSG 791 was a SpecOps unit, Robinson showed a remarkable ability to maintain unit cohesion in spite of his own impetuous character. MEU 791 personnel who showed any preference for M.E.C.H.A. over SpecOps or MSG 791 personnel who showed any more preference for SpecOps over M.E.C.H.A. than their training and experience warranted lost their posts in the unit and, in some cases, were even drummed out of the service; all of these resulted from sentences assigned in courts-martial over which Robinson was forced to serve as President Judge.
Robinson's approach to discipline in merging the remains of the dissolved unit with his own existing unit was not universally popular, and Stephens himself blamed Robinson personally for having ruined his Star Fleet Marine Corps career. This led Stephens to sabotage the mecha his former colleagues had used before his dishonorable discharge took effect. As a result, when Robinson tried to use Stephens's own personal "mechum" in a conflict in which the reorganized MSG 791 was involved, it malfunctioned and entrapped him inside. As Telsek's post-Star Base 217 duty assignment had sent him to the same location, he was there, along with the Sovereign's Chief Engineering Officer, Fleet Captain Traci Giorgianni, to assist Robinson. Upon seeing Telsek, Robinson yelled, "GOT A CAN OPENER???"
A weaponsmith, Telsek had recently learned how to artifice hand-held opening tools for enclosed metal canisters, called "can openers." These he forged of a tritanium-cadmium alloy with 19.3 times the hardness of the hardest of manganese steels, whose cadmium content protected the tritanium content from radioactive decay. When Stephens's personal mechum, upon malfunctioning, entrapped Robinson inside, one of the malfunctions was to its explosive-bolt ejector system. Were Robinson to have ignited the bolts, the blast would have cremated him alive. Thus Giorgianni, forced to treat the mechum as an un-exploded bomb, found herself forced to employ one of Telsek's can openers to extricate Robinson from the wreckage.
Upon the safe return of all hands to the Sovereign, Telsek sought and received formal reinstatement as Officer-In-Charge of MSG 791, as whom he relieved Robinson.

If you are leading a team, people will inevitably, on occasion, fail to follow through on something they said they would do. So, what do you do when this happens? Generally, I do nothing. Why? Because I am privileged to work with a high-performing team. If one of them fails to follow through on something, it is generally because they decided not to, or it is on their "someday maybe" list and someday has yet to come.
If it was a mission-critical thing, I would certainly speak up and we would discuss. But I have arrived at a place working with some great people where things that are mission-critical typically get done. And, if not, at least the person is being proactive about communicating about the status of the work. All the other stuff—the less critical stuff—I don't sweat. We are constantly evaluating priorities and discussing next steps, so if the matter is important it will get back on the radar. If it never comes back, it was never meant to be. I accept that and I move the heck on.
I also consider that I myself don't get everything done I say I will. So, another reason to be reasonable is to avoid being a hypocrite. I would rather be a seemingly soft leader than an unforgiving hypocrite. That is a choice I make.
If the big stuff is not getting done, you do have to deal with it actively. But on the small stuff, just let it go and figure out what comes next. Life is too short.
