Over the past few weeks, there has been outrage across the country regarding the verdict in the trial of Casey Anthony. Accused of murdering her young daughter, among myriad other lesser charges, Anthony was found not guilty by a jury in Florida. People are calling this "the crime of the century," threatening death upon both Anthony and the jury members. The passion from both sides, but especially those who believe Anthony is truly guilty, is overwhelming. But it begs the question: what makes us think we know better than a sequestered jury and a judge? Who are we to judge this woman and this jury for their actions/inactions? Why do so many of us care so much?
I can't answer any of these questions easily, to be honest. And I can only answer them for myself, in my own opinion. I know that I, personally, do not care about Casey Anthony, her deceased child, or her verdict. It's none of my business. Maybe she murdered her daughter, maybe it was an accident. I don't care. I have no personal investment in the case. But this is what I do know: people tend to put their noses where they don't belong. There is absolutely no reason for the personal investment so many Americans have or had in this case. Anthony was accused of murdering her own child; it's not like there's a serial killer on the streets. She was given the maximum sentence for the crimes of which she was found guilty; how can we fault the system for that? The real problem is the portrayal of the case in the media, which is what it usually comes down to.
Casey Anthony was vilified from the beginning. Yes, she is absolutely guilty of lying. And she was imprisoned for it. But the aspect of this story that the media (and then its consumers) took and ran with was the identification of her as a "bad mother." It sort of sickens me to think of the country in which we live. With all of our forward motion and liberation, we are still such backwards thinkers. It is inconceivable of so many media consumers that a woman would want to give up a child, or continue to have a social life after giving birth, or murder/cover-up the murder of her child, or lie about her child's whereabouts, or whatever. We still think of women as all possessing a certain nurturing maternal instinct, and those women without it (or who choose to ignore it) are bad. Casey Anthony was painted as a "bad mother" because she went out to parties after giving birth to a daughter. Conservative news programs and commentators even used this as motive for her to have killed her child: she just wanted to be free of the burden of motherhood. But why shouldn't a mother continue to live her own life and have fun, even if she does happen to have a child at home? We as a society are still so concerned with "traditional values," but nowadays it begins to look like regression.
How often do you see or hear a woman judged for having a child and continuing to work? The stigma surrounding this is becoming less, I know, but the judgment is still there. We still expect women to take care of the child, giving up what life she had before to this new person. How is that fair?
How often are women who have chosen to abort a fetus judged for it? Constantly. They are vilified just as Casey Anthony was/is. They are portrayed as selfish or murderous. When did other people's lives become our business? Why do we care what others are doing with their bodies? What happened to all of this personal liberation that suposedly came out of the 1960s and 1970s? Our return to "traditional values" like the woman in the home with a gaggle of kids is not the type of thinking characteristic of a society that is moving into the future. Wishing death upon a woman who has expressed a desire to live her own life over living for her child is 100% regressive thinking.
This brings me back to my original, overarching question: why do we care so much? What personal investment do we have in the outcome of the Casey Anthony trial? I think we care because we're told to care. We have no personal investment in the trial, other than the time we've put into watching or reading the coverage. So we expect a payoff. It's like watching a television series. In fact, I'll use an example I think fits perfectly: AMC's The Killing. This series is based around the investigation into the murder of a seventeen year old girl in Seattle and the ripples it creates in the city. I watched each episode, expecting (as one would) to be told who killed this girl. But the perpetrator was never revealed, and won't be until next summer when the new season begins. I felt slighted, betrayed, angry. I invested thirteen hours of my life into this series, even as the quality of the writing and characterization tumbled, because I wanted to know who the killer was. This is, I'm assuming, how most people feel about the Casey Anthony verdict. The media shoved this case down consumers throats for years, forcing people to become invested in it, only to have the outcome be the opposite of what was expected. Of course one would be angry that our time, so precious in a fast-moving world, was wasted.
The key difference? It's not a television show. Casey Anthony is a real woman, not a character on a show that we can easily hate. She's real. This is her life being broadcast. This is her life being judged. This is her life being put on display. And when you look at this way, it's not the jury that betrayed us. It's we that betrayed one woman.

Should cyclists who kill or seriously injure other road users face the same penalties as drivers? The Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents thinks so, according to a story in The Times earlier this week.
The subject's in the news because investment banker Andrej Schipka was found guilty of careless cycling and fined £850 plus £930 costs and a £15 surcharge for injuring solicitor Clive Hyer last July. The court found Schipka had run a red light at about 26mph and the collision left Hyer with a fractured skull and lasting impairment.
To deal with similar cases involving motor vehicles, the government has announced a new offence of causing serious injury by dangerous driving, punishable by five years in jail and an unlimited fine. That offence doesn't apply to cyclists, however.
Commenting on the issue in general, and not on whether cyclists should be included in the new law, as some news outlets have implied, Kevin Clinton, RoSPA's head of road safety, said: "Cyclists have to follow the law just as much as drivers and if they seriously injure or kill someone by riding carelessly or dangerously, then they should face the same level of penalty.
"The effects that these sorts of injuries have on victims and their families are just as devastating when caused by cyclists as they are caused by irresponsible drivers."
Roger Geffen, campaigns & policy director thinks RoSPA should be careful what they wish for. In an unpublished letter to The Times, Geffen writes: "If irresponsible cyclists faced the same penalties as drivers, as some safety groups are apparently calling for this would in many cases actually mean lighter penalties."
While the CTC doesn't defend irresponsible cycling any more than the AA or RAC would defend bad driving, Geffen points out: "It is common – routine almost – for drivers who kill pedestrians or cyclists to receive far lower penalties than the £850 handed down to Andrej Shipka who jumped a red light and left pedestrian Clive Hyler with a brain injury."
Geffen cites the cases of the 17-year old with a previous speeding conviction who killed British Cycling coach Rob Jefferies, and who received a 200-hour community sentence and a fine of just £85; and the drivers who killed 85-year old Barbara Taylor and 89-year old Vera Chaplin who both received 100-hour community sentences.
The problem, says Geffen, is the Crown Prosecution Service. "The common strand in these, and many other similar cases recorded on CTC's website, is that the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) decided the driving wasn't 'dangerous', and only prosecuted for a 'careless' offence. CTC has long believed the CPS has got the law wrong on this matter.
"The solution isn't simply to toughen up the penalties for law-breaking cyclists – we would have no problem with this, if there is consistency with other road user groups. But first, the CPS should start applying the current law correctly, and stop dismissing driving which causes obviously foreseeable danger as mere 'carelessness', regardless of who is involved."
Our official grumpy Northerner, John has been riding bikes for over 30 years since discovering as an uncoordinated teen that a sport could be fun if it didn't require you to catch a ball or get in the way of a hulking prop forward.
Road touring was followed by mountain biking and a career racing in the mud that was as brief as it was unsuccessful.
Somewhere along the line came the discovery that he could string a few words together, followed by the even more remarkable discovery that people were mug enough to pay for this rather than expecting him to do an honest day's work. He's pretty certain he's worked for even more bike publications than Mat Brett.
The inevitable 30-something MAMIL transition saw him shift to skinny tyres and these days he lives in Cambridge where the lack of hills is more than made up for by the headwinds.

Miller, Amy T DO 2 ReviewsReally takes time, follows up
Very impressed with Dr. Miller. She listens carefully, is very thorough, takes her time--doesn't try to impatiently herd you in and out like other doctors will. Follows up afterwards.
Yorio, David DO 1 ReviewsA very caring doctor.
He really cares about his patients well being. He listens to all of your concerns and addresses every one of them.
Hetzel, Jonathan Keppele MD 2 ReviewsDr. Hetzel
I've been going to Dr. Hetzel ever since moving to Chester Springs 10 years ago and have always found him friendly and attentive. His new medical clinic is attached to his home, which is right around the corner from where I work, and which means he always seems to be available to see a patient, even when I called on a Saturday when my daughter was sick. Throw back to the old country doctor!
Steele, Suzanne L MD 1 ReviewsStress free experience
This is a review for Dr. Steele as a Civil Surgeon - for immigration, just go to her, don't think twice. She will guide you through the process and give you good advice and is not someone who will want to make a quick buck off you by giving unnecessary vaccinations. If you are of a certain age and do not require immunization she will tell you upfront. As far as insurance tough luck - preventive medicine is rarely covered, so don't blame the doc for this, blame your insurance company. Her charges are competitive and maybe lesser than other folks I compared against. Clean facility, no unnecessary paper work to fill out, no drama, great personality. Trust me - you will not regret it.
Mowery, Robert F MD 1 ReviewsCaring Family Doctor
Dr Mowrey is an excellent Family Practice Physician, very caring, with a terrific group of nurses and staff working with him.

Whatever, Jon Krasinski and Anna Kendrick Are Great on Lip Sync Battle
Not one week ago, Jezebel's own Kate Dries laid out a very solid argument for why Lip Sync Battle should not be a show. "Hypocrisy!" you scream. "Then why is Jim Halpert doing a marionette dance at the top of this post?!"


text: Solo project from Dave from Ratas del Vaticano. Fans of Ratas del Vaticano will find this to be an essential record as the vibe is pretty much the same as for the full band stuff, but with a few differences. Basically, this just feels like a somewhat more adventurous take on the raw, catchy, and passionate punk that Ratas del Vaticano already do. For his solo stuff, Dave might be more apt to use a drum machine, drop in a more mellow track, or even lean more heavily on a new wave-ish melody, but if you dig the great songwriting, aggression, and raw sound of Ratas del Vaticano you absolutely need this as well. A killer layout by Yecal from Inservibles just makes it even better. Bat S*** Records

The Gulf Cartel is one of the oldest and most powerful of Mexico's criminal groups but has lost territory and influence in recent years to its rivals, including its former enforcer wing, the Zetas.
The Gulf Cartel is one of Mexico's most storied, wealthy and established operations. Working with Colombian suppliers, this group moves drugs north from its stronghold in Tamaulipas, and is known to outsource other activities, especially those related to human trafficking, to local "enforcer" gangs. Its one-time boss, Osiel Cárdenas Guillén, was considered the country's most powerful underworld leader at one point, and its enforcers, the Zetas, Mexico's most feared gang.

Exploring Williams Landing
Exploring Williams Landing
The first residents moved into Williams Landing in December 2009, making it one of the more established new communities in Melbourne.
Located just 19kms from Melbourne's CBD, Williams Landing will eventually offer 2500 homes plus a major town centre. There is direct freeway access with a railway station and regional bus interchange currently in planning phase.
The town centre is earmarked to become a commercial and retail hub. As part of the town centre, the Williams Landing Shopping Centre will host Woolworths, Big W, several mini majors, around 80 new specialty stores and a Masters Home Improvement located nearby scheduled to open 2013/2014.
Williams Landing, as with many new developments, has extensive parklands, walking and cycling trails, an active use reserve and direct connection to the 24km Federation Bike Trail, provide options for relaxing or exercising.
Caring for the environment is a priority in the creation of the new suburb of Williams Landing. Three conservation reserves have been set aside to protect native grasslands and a wetland environment, in the development. These areas are good examples of the native vegetation that is indigenous to theregion and feature numerous species of flora and fauna that are of national and state significance. The protected areas also represent some of Australia's most threatened ecological communities.
In total Williams Landing has 55 hectares set aside for conservation reserves, with parks carefully designed to ensure they cope with low rainfall, and the creation of wetland systems to clean and control water runoff.
Carlisle has six homes on display at Williams Landing
From the T-Range, the Westbury, Montana and Newington

As in, literally, a project to turn our property into a living, breathing, working farm.
A few short years ago, we got tired to spending too much money at our local Whole Foods Market for healthy produce and watching our unquenchable lawns drink us into the poor house. At the urging of our good friend, Betty, we built a couple of planter boxes to attempt to grow some vegetables, converted our front yard to low water succulent plants, and tried our hand at shopping yard sales and thrift stores to find items on the cheap instead of paying retail at our local Target and Costco.
And while it hasn't been easy, and we have yet to replace our trips to the grocery store, we have certainly gained much more than a few tomatoes, summer squash, and lower water bills. Our experience in cultivating our tiny, 120×40 foot Mar Vista property has brought us in touch with our land and given us appreciation for what's been lost in the modern era of convenience, speed, and over stimulation brought about by our technology driven society. In fact, we've met hummingbirds that now regularly visit our plants for a drink of nectar, bees cruising through our lavender, worms toiling beneath our soil, and Monarch butterflies nesting in our milkweed as they migrate south. In early 2012, we welcomed our first chickens – Original, Extra Crispy, and McNugget – to our family and they've rewarded us with dozens of eggs and morning wake up calls no alarm clocks can match!
It is our hope that this site will bring as much, if not more, information and advice than we can dispense so that our urban farm can become even more productive in the years to come. Please do not hesitate to leave your comments, questions, and tips on this site and we welcome you to come and visit if you're in our neighborhood and say hello to the hens, who now crave as much attention as most children.

Superintendent Cash has no immediate plans to ship out — or to give up the commitment to long-term educational reform of the city's schools that he reasserts every time he speaks publicly about the showdown between the two school systems. The quip was just his resigned acknowledgment of what everybody suspects — that whatever the results of the forthcoming March 8 citywide referendum on MCS charter surrender, a morass of litigation and cross-purposes lies ahead.
Cash was asked whether he envisions a further role with a newly consolidated city/county school system if the referendum should pass, making Shelby County Schools — or Shelby County government or mayhap some newly created county entity — the overseer of the new system.
"There's no guarantee I would continue on," he said. And, after a pause, "there's no guarantee that I would want to continue on."
Cash made his comments while attending a Friday-night reception at The Peabody for Ralph Crowder, a documentarian who was previewing an introductory video for his work in progress, "Memphis, a City Rich in Song and Experience."
The MCS superintendent is keenly aware of the differences between the system he heads and the one that now operates in suburban Shelby County, and he has made no secret of his concerns that the several reform initiatives he has pioneered at MCS will be lost in a de facto consolidation of the county's two school systems.
"This has nothing to do with education, just politics and power," Cash said — echoing a statement made by numerous opponents of MCS-SCS merger, including the Rev. Kenneth Whalum, pastor of New Olivet Baptist Church and an MCS board member who was also an attendee at the reception.
Since Cash's arrival at the helm of MCS in 2008, the relationship between the two has been decidedly on again/off again. Just now it's in an "on" phase, with the superintendent and the famously iconoclastic Board member both in stout resistance mode vis-à-vis the proposed charter surrender.
On that occasion, Whalum concluded his remarks by expressing two preferences — first, that the assembled MEA members vote no on the March 8 referendum, and, second, "Let's clean house at Memphis City Schools from top to bottom. By any means necessary." Asked about that statement on Friday night at the reception, Whalum did not shy away from it, or its implications concerning Cash. "Yes, I've raised questions as to whether we have the right superintendent," he said.
The current collaboration between the two is decidedly ad hoc, and the uneasiness of it surfaced during an audience discussion after Crowder had showed his introductory video. In the course of suggesting that the fully developed and revised project should include a major emphasis on the Memphis schools, a smiling Cash ventured a quip about his sometime nemesis Whalum, who, as an interviewee, had figured prominently in Crowder's video.
"On the light side, I think it had way too much Kenneth T. Whalum," As the audience laughed, Whalum added his own jest: "And that was the edited piece, man!"
At the last MSC Board meeting, Whalum had announced as "new business" three resolutions that he wants the Board to act on at its next meeting. One would require the Memphis Urban Debate League, a group with which MSC has partnered, to furnish the Board with a copy of its bylaws, something which was promised but has been long deferred. That, acknowledged Whalum Friday night, reflected his annoyance with the organization for scheduling a series of debates among Memphis high schoolers on the forthcoming charter-surrender referendum.
"They've got an agenda, no doubt. And, besides, they owe us those bylaws," said Whalum.
A second Whalum resolution asks the Board to demand an "immediate tender" of the $57 still owed MCS by the City Council. And his third resolution would request, by way of providing for "post-surrender" closure, itemized reports on activity relating the pending Gates Foundation grant to MCS, a detailed summary of suspensions and expulsions in city schools; and an accounting of the rate of pregnancy in the system.
His lumping the pregnancy and suspension/expulsion figures in with the Gates Foundation issue (which relates to the whether a promised $90 million grant would continue in the event of a merger) is indicative of the fact that Whalum still intends to press internal MSC issues that could be unflattering and/or nettlesome to Cash.
The superintendent made it clear Friday night that he believes the reported figure of 90 pregnancies among students at Frayser High is misleading and "way off." He said only 10 or so currently enrolled students were known to be pregnant, although another 47 had taken part in a voluntary counseling program for students in the system.

The German Panel on Household Finances (PHF) is a panel survey on household finance and wealth in Germany, covering the balance sheet, pension, income, work life and other demographic characteristics.
The PHF is a representative survey of German households comprising both a panel and a refresher component. The panel structure mimics that of the [U.S.] Panel Study on Income Dynamics (PSID). All households are re-contacted, and all individuals tracked. The intended survey frequency is three years.
During the PHF's first wave in 2010-2011 a net sample of 3,565 randomly selected households was collected. The survey's second wave took place in summer 2014. In total 4,500 households participated in the second wave. Of those, about 2,200 households had also taken part in wave one. The third wave of the PHF survey started in March 2017.
The survey is based on a stratified design. To better measure the distribution of wealth in Germany, wealthy households are oversampled on the basis of micro-geographical information.
The micro data from wave one and two are available for scientific research projects.

For their study, described March 8 in PLOS Pathogens, the researchers used one of the largest libraries of naturally occurring HCV to rapidly sort out which mutations allow HCV to evade immune responses and found that mutations that occur outside of the viral sites typically targeted by such antibody responses play a major role in the virus' resistance.
"We think those mutations could account for the difficulty of making an effective vaccine," says Justin Bailey, M.D., Ph.D., assistant professor of medicine at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine.
All told, the researchers compiled a library of 113 HCV strains from 27 patients with HCV infections followed at The Johns Hopkins Hospital. The researchers then tested each strain of the virus for susceptibility to two potent and commonly used antibodies in vaccine development experiments for HCV, HC33.4 and AR4A.
Because natural HCVs do not thrive in the lab, the researchers first created pseudo-viruses using the contents and capsule of HIV, a virus that grows easily in the lab. Then, by placing surface proteins of each HCV virus onto these pseudoviruses, the researchers were able to efficiently infect human cells with the HCV strains in tissue culture.
One-third of the cells infected with each strain received treatment with HC33.4 antibodies, one-third received treatment with AR4A antibodies and a final third (the control group) received no treatment. The researchers then compared the level of infection in the treated cells against the untreated cells.
The investigators observed that HC33.4 and AR4A neutralized only 88 percent and 85.8 percent of the virus, respectively. "We discovered that there was a lot of naturally occurring resistance, meaning we may need to greatly expand the set of viruses we use to evaluate potential vaccines," says Ramy El-Diwany, a student at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine and first author of the study.
The team also found that the effectiveness of the antibodies varied, with some viral strains very inhibited by the antibodies and others hardly affected at all. To find out what was causing the variation, the researchers next tapped into the HCV genomes.
Using a program that compared the genetic sequences of each viral strain, the researchers were able to analyze which mutations conferred resistance to each strain of the virus. They found that despite wide-ranging levels of resistance to HC33.4 and AR4A, the areas that allow these antibodies to bind to the virus barely varied. The HC33.4 binding site mutated at only one location, for example, and the AR4A binding site was the same across all viral strains.
The researchers then expanded their search to the proteins on the surface of HCV. They found that while mutations in the binding site were not associated with resistance, other mutations in the surface proteins away from the binding site correlated with viruses that persisted despite antibody treatment.
"These are the mutations we believe may allow the viruses to avoid being blocked by antibodies altogether. If you think of it like a race, the antibody is trying to bind to the virus before it can enter the cell. We think this mutation may allow the virus to get into the cell before it even encounters the immune system," says Bailey.
HCV is spread from person to person through contact with the blood of an infected person. Some patients are able to fight off the infection naturally, but for 70 to 85 percent of people, the infection becomes chronic.
A new HCV infection is effectively treated with direct-acting antiviral drugs, but the researchers say a preventive vaccine is needed to control what they call an HCV pandemic because as many as 50 percent of people infected are unaware that they carry the virus, putting others at risk of infection. Treatment does not protect those at risk from future infection by HCV. "HCV is very unlikely to be eliminated by treatment alone," says El-Diwany.

10 of the funniest Japanese company April Fool's ads
April Fools' is a day of playing practical jokes and spreading hoaxes, and in the last few years, the custom has caught on in Japan, but it's the big companies that seem to be having the most fun on this popular day. Let's take a look at the funniest April Fools' ads of 2016 that may or may not have fooled the Japanese public!
Most Japanese people are well aware of April Fools' Day, but then again, I'm sure there are those who are still not aware of its existence. After all, the day is not as big as it is in other Western cultures, and celebrating it by playing jokes on each other is something quite new to Japan. Who seems to enjoy this first day of April are Japanese corporations, many of whom create ridiculous ads for new products and announce their release on social media. Since these companies are always creating original and sometimes crazy products anyway, it's probably easy for some to actually believe in these funny hoaxes. After all, potato chip flavored cola wasn't an April Fools' joke, it was an actual product!
So without further ado, below are some of the funniest ads meant to trick the Japanese public on April Fools' Day. Enjoy!
1. ASAHI THE DREAMCAST SERVER — Yes, pour yourself an Asahi draft beer with a special controller.
2. "Would you like rice with those ingredients or bread?" SUBWAY RICE BOWLS with four choices of rice: white, sesame, brown, and 10 grain.
3. GODZILLA VS. EVANGELION announced!
4. Wasabi water from I LOHAS on sale April 1st
5. From whiskey maker Nikka, BLACK NIKKA UNISKEY

ISLAMABAD, March 25 (UPI) -- Cooperation extending into the energy sector is high on the agenda for a two-day state visit to Pakistan, Iranian President Hassan Rouhani said Friday.
Rouhani led a delegation of political and economic dignitaries on a two-day visit to Pakistan. Before leaving, the president said at a press conference in Tehran ties in the energy sector could be expanded now that sanctions pressures are easing on the Islamic republic.
"Several agreements have been finalized in this respect," he said. "They will expand to include cooperation in border trade, transit, and security."
The visit is aimed at strengthening bilateral ties that are evolving for Iran with the agreement last year on a multilateral program aimed at easing nuclear weapon concerns. Pakistani Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif visited Tehran in January as sanctions pressures started to ease as a result of the nuclear deal.
Rouhani is expected to press for a resumption of talks related to a natural gas pipeline planned between both countries. Pakistani Foreign Office spokesman Nafeez Zakaria said the project was important for the country, but sanctions in the past had presented major obstacles.
"Now as sanctions have been lifted, all such projects will come under discussion during the talks between the leadership of the two countries," he said.
Oliver Coleman, deputy head of Asia programs at analytical firm Verisk Maplecroft, said last year that while both sides of the pipeline have lauded its benefits, it won't address the long-term issue completely.
Even if the pipeline is completed in Pakistan, Coleman said national distribution networks likely wouldn't be able to handle the additional volumes of natural gas coming from Iran.
Islamabad has worked with its counterparts in China on the construction of a liquefied natural gas terminal and associated pipeline infrastructure at the port city of Gwadar near the Iranian border. The facility, the country's first, went into service in May 2015.
Pakistan consumes most of the natural gas it produces and the country has faced chronic energy shortages.

There is not Wikistats issue for which I received more mails than this: since 2010 some metrics on article content were no longer updated: word count, articles above 200 chars, mean size in bytes, percentage above 0.5 or 2 Kb, database size, word count, images and links (internal, interwiki, external). Word count in particular was often mentioned.
Example: Polish Wikipedia
All these metrics need to be collected from the 'full archive dumps', the dumps which contain the full raw content of every revision of every page. The sheer amount of data that needs to processed made it no longer feasible to process those full dumps on a monthly basis (it didn't help that I do rather ambitious cleaning up of the raw page content before counts are generated (e.g. for word count to approach 'readable body text').
So in 2010 for most Wikipedias I switched to processing stub dumps, which contain all meta data for every revision, but not the raw page content. For sister projects with much smaller dumps I continued processing full archive dumps.
Now finally I can announce I applied a fix which makes it possible to update those missing metrics roughly on a quarterly cycle. Full archive dumps are now processed on a different server, running as continuous low priority job, and the reporting process combines metrics from both servers.
In the last two weeks some 260 wikis were processed. Only 10 large wikis remain to be done: Arabic, English, French, German, Hebrew, Italian, Japanese, Spanish, Swedish, Russian. I expect in a month time all but English will be ready. English may arrive -fingers crossed- a month later.

I was sitting and eating buffalo chicken tenders one Tuesday afternoon when I realized something profound and soul-enlightening: iced tea is amazing. It's better than any hot beverage out there or soda or malt or even a spirit. Now, how could I make a million dollars off of this? I wasn't sure. But maybe I could do what I had been talking about for years: go around on the lecture circuit just motivating people to do whatever people tend to do; to be a motivational speaker. But then I realized that this would take up way too much time and later I also realized that people don't want you to be their motivational speaker unless you yourself have been motivated to do something but that begs the question: what if a person was born to be motivated to be a motivated speaker? What leprous rags this person must bare! I want to speak to people, rooms filled with important and good looking people. But so far I have not met any.
And that's when it hit me like a sock filled with pennies from a juvenile detention center: write a book, bring the speech to their faces, their bedrooms, their pc's: become motivation in the written form. That was 7 years ago, and I wrote all this down last month and now you get to reap the fruit of my brain-labor, all of it contained in these pages that follow. This is no small thing and no small book. What are contained in these pages are items that will change the way you look at other people, including me.
As an author, I run into many people with many different dreams, goals and haircuts. Some people even stop me even in the streets, and they suggest that I try wearing a more loose-fitting jean. Some people stop me in the streets with a certain desire. They say: give me your money you tourist...and all your electronics! But do you know what I do? I reach into my backpack and I pull out a copy of my book and I say: the information held within is a treasure more rich than any available currency or technology. And on at least one occasion, that I can remember, my book has been used as a blunt force object to cause me numerous subdural hematomas and a fractured skull. So, that brings me to the point of my forward: what can I do with this book besides read it?
First we have to rule out using Achieve! Success without Being Successful as a doorstop, because the book simply isn't big enough. I do suppose it's possible, however, if you have wafer-thin doors. Or doors on the moon. Secondly, you could use this book to start up a small group/reading group to pour over all the treasure-nuggets written inside. There are also secret nuggets printed in white ink along the margins that can only be seen with cyber enhanced eyes--I was thinking of the future, one of my steps to being successful without success. So even in your reading group you can feed off the mystery of words that aren't even there. And that is something that is sexy.
How else can you use this book that is worth its weight in other books? Well, I can tell you how I'm going to use it and the proceeds to motivate others and motivate some people to love me.
I plan on using the income to send my daughter to college. That may not be one of the best schools in the nation but perhaps I can afford Ed's Barber College, down the street. Well, I just googled that and it looks as if that will not be an option either, so maybe we can look into some type of home-schooling college and I can print out a diploma at the library, and that will be worth something. Hopefully the proceeds will cover the print by the page charge.
I also plan on buying something for my wife: like possibly a star or something? I've seen the star commercials that allow you to buy your own stars, or at least the certificate of those stars and that way if economic space travel becomes a thing in our lifetime we can go and visit our star together, walk around on it, maybe see if it has any beaches or indigenous populations we could exploit. I don't think there could be a better gift, now that I think about it.
So, to wrap this up: this is probably the part of the forward where I go around thanking all those who helped me write this book, gave feedback, held me when I cried, and pumped my stomach after I drank too many diet energy drinks. But I will not. Because to thank them would be a disservice to them, I believe. To thank them and even you, dear reader, would take away from the wealth of treasure-juice contained within the pages. No, I won't take away from your future or your children's children's future. So instead I say simply this:
You're welcome. All of you.

ARTIST: Flesh Eating Foundation
After putting out a slew of uneven but promising EPs over the past few years, England's Flesh Eating Foundation have finally released their full-length debut, a well-crafted but low-fi barrage of tortured dance rhythms, jagged guitars and industrial clatter. Like fellow UK act Concept 7, this trio draws as much on punk and techno influences as classic industrial, and it shows in the frantic synthesizer loops of "Fight!" and the bouncing breakbeats of "The Dead," both of which sound like a violent anarchist group invading a rave. The band's approach to vocals also draws on punk influences; while robotic vocoder effects make the occasional appearance, as on the EBM-influenced "Join Us," the violent shouting on "One Minute" sounds as though it's being distorted not by studio effects but rather a broken amplifier. This sense of damaged equipment pervades the entire album; if you could whip a drum machine into a state of exhaustion like an abusive stagecoach driver whipping his team, it would sound like the careening rhythms of "Pass the Knife." This makes the more stately moments, like the somber pianos of "Kiss the Tears" or the dark strings of title track "Seethe," all the more striking. While the band's combination of chunky metal guitars, industrial percussion and techno loops is less like smoothly blending genres than bashing them together until they break, they're also quite capable of doing straightforward industrial rock anthems, as evidenced by the fist-pumping chorus of "The Deepest Cut" or the deadpan but rhythmic "Drained," which calls to mind a more glitch-laden version of Chris Connelly's Murder Inc. project. By and large, though, this is mean, ugly, cynical stuff; if you want catchy guitar hooks and choruses that you can sing along to, you're better off looking elsewhere, but if you miss the spirit of industrial music the way it was before it got cleaned up and presentable, you'll be missing out if you don't give a listen to the Flesh Eating Foundation.

Monday on MSNBC's "Morning Joe," host Joe Scarborough pointed how neither presumptive Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump and presumptive Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton have stellar polling numbers, to which Scarborough means it's anybody's race between now and Election Day.
"If you look at the favorable and unfavorable numbers, you start to get a sense of why a candidate like Donald Trump can have as bad of week as Donald Trump, a bad of month as Donald Trump had, when you look at his opponent and her approval ratings are in the low 30s, while his are in the high 20s and her disapprovals are in the mid-50s, while his is sitting there at 60. I guess that means its jump ball between now and the day of the election," Scarborough said.

As someone who is nearly four months out of college, I still sometimes find myself boggled by the fact that I will never be returning for undergrad. My four years at Bryn Mawr legitimately feel like they whizzed by and now I find myself wondering – what's next?
Yes I know many of my classmates have already taken the dive into young adulthood: starting their careers, or beginning the next level of academia. But I spent the Summer preparing for a certain standardized exam I am set to take next month. I know it'll all be worth it in the end but i can't help but think – should I have been more prepared? Should I have planned ahead more?
Sure, I might just have to blame post-grad jitters and anxiety. Taking this time to study and go back home might have made me feel as if I was stuck in a pile of molasses, with my friends whizzing by into reality. However, I appreciate the fact that I could take this time to plan out the next few steps of my young adulthood.
As a recent college grad, I am a firm believer in the fact that no one can prepare you for what comes next after college. Ever since pre-K to senior year of college, all we really know about is academia and learning. We aren't 100% ready to pay the bills, set up our 401Ks or deal with brokers fees. However, I see it as a new challenge – a new set of skills I have to learn now. Bryn Mawr taught me how to be successful in a social/academic setting. However, I need to learn the next few steps on my own.
Does that mean that I regret going to a school that wasn't as centered on career-oriented goals? Not necessarily – I was able to challenge myself to learn things that I probably won't have the opportunity to learn about in the future. Kids that go to business schools or career-oriented majors might be more prepared in the beginning, but my skill set that I developed at Bryn Mawr as a critical thinker and problem solver will probably help even out the playing field.
The future might be grey in terms of what the next step might be. But I can say that I truly appreciated my time in undergrad and it definitely is one that is unique and special. I might feel a little uncertain about things now, but my time at Mawr will help me trudge through – like an extended finals week of sorts (haha).
Until Next Time,

Ducks grind down Blackhawks, take 2-1 series lead
At home, the Anaheim Ducks proved they were capable of putting on a show in the opening two games of the Western Conference final, which they did in highly entertaining fashion.
On the road, here in one of the more difficult buildings in the NHL, they were all about taking care of business on Thursday night.
And the Ducks took that business seriously at a United Center they turned abnormally quiet, grinding out a 2-1 victory over the Blackhawks to once again seize the edge in the best-of-seven series they now lead by a similar 2-1 margin.
Nothing about this one was as pretty or as dramatic as Games 1 and 2 back in Southern California, but the victory said a great deal about the resiliency of a Ducks team that is now just two wins away from advancing to its first Stanley Cup final since 2007.
"The will on this team, you could see it since training camp," Ducks coach Bruce Boudreau said afterwards. "We haven't won anything, but their resiliency is as good as most.
"What it told me is what I know — that they are a great character team."
We're about to find out how the 'Hawks stack up in that department, facing what will be close to a must-win contest back here on Saturday night.
Their speed was throttled down by the Ducks' efficiency and the throbbing hangover of the three overtime session in Game 2. It was Anaheim that dictated the style in this one, a disturbance the 'Hawks will need to reverse quickly in Game 4.
"It was more of a mental battle for everyone," Ducks forward Andrew Cogliano said. "Both teams were tired, you could tell. The pace wasn't as high, but I think that was a character win for us."
If you watched the Ducks in the regular season, you knew they were efficient wherever they played, piling up a Western Conference best 25-12-4 road record (further embellished with a 4-1 away record so far these playoffs) with many of those wins coming in difficult venues.
"We're accustomed to playing and being successful on the road," Boudreau said. "You go, you do your job and that's the way we've been. It's hard to put a finger on why … I just know that the guys come to play. This was a very good checking game for us."
Simon Despres' one-time blast in the final minute of the second period stood up as the game winner, an opportune finish in a game with far fewer golden opportunities than in the action in Anaheim.
"I'm not a goal scorer," said Despres, who has just six in 166 regular-season NHL games. "I just tried to hit the net and get it off as quick as possible."
In the latest road triumph, the Ducks were successful because they played a more grinding, controlled game and once again did what they could to make the 'Hawks pay physically.
"We knew we were going to have to bring our work boots tonight," Ducks winger Patrick Maroon said. "I thought we did a good job of that."
Yes, it's only one game, but the Blackhawks looked the wearier of the two, in part because in the playoffs size and the ability to use it matters.
Afterwards, Chicago coach Joel Quenneville made a plea to pick up the pace in Game 3. They could certainly start on the power play where they were a miserable 0-for-5 in Game 3, with just one shot on net. Worst was a frustrating four-minute session in the first period when they didn't generate a single scoring chance.
It won't be easy for the 'Hawks to bounce back, and credit to the Ducks for that. They knew they would were coming into a tough building where a crowd of 22,160 would be ready to celebrate the 'Hawks three OT triumph back in Anaheim.
But other than during the always fabulous version of the Star Spangled Banner by anthem singer Jim Cornelison, the response to Patrick Kane's first-period goal and the final flurry with Corey Crawford out of the net for an extra attacker, the atmosphere fizzled.
"I know in here we tried to keep things as simple as we possible could," Ducks defenceman Cam Fowler said. "It's never easy when you lose in three overtimes and you have a 3 1/2 hour flight here. I think there's a lot of things that went into it, but I'm really proud of our guys for how they battled."
They have regained the home-ice advantage, but the way the Ducks play, it doesn't seem to matter where they drop the puck. The 'Hawks have to hope they can summon the same.
"You have to win four games, it doesn't really matter where you win them," Chicago defenceman Brent Seabrook said. "We have to be the first to four. We have to come out and have a big effort in Game 4 and try to even this thing up."

Darren Wilson – the police officer who shot and killed Michael Brown after Brown allegedly punched him in the face, grabbed his gun, and bum rushed him multiple times minutes after allegedly robbing a convenience store – is under 24-hour security and "can't go out" because he fears for his life.
According to MailOnline, Wilson texted his close friend, Jake Shepard, last week after Shepard defended the officer on CNN. Wilson told Shepard, "Thanks buddy I wasn't expecting that." According to texts that Shepard shared with MailOnline, he replied to Wilson, "No problem buddy, you deserve it." Wilson then replied, "It means a lot thank you."
Later, Wilson reportedly texted Shepard to tell him, "The support is really keeping me going during this stressful time. Just stay safe. I appreciate all you have done." He then texted, "I can't go out."
"It's sad for Mike Brown and his family. Darren could have just Tasered him, and Mike would have spent six months in jail or something and maybe got his act together after that," Shepard told MailOnline. "Darren could have gone on with his life too but now both of their lives are over. It sucks."
A witness named "Josie" said last week that, according to Wilson's significant other, Brown bum rushed Wilson, tried to grab his gun, punched him in the face, and then bum rushed him again after Wilson pursued him on foot. Brown also allegedly taunted Wilson, at one point even saying, "you're not going to shoot me."
At least twelve witnesses have reportedly corroborated Wilson's version of the events, including a witnesses who said that Brown "doubled back" and charged the officer before being shot. Wilson reportedly suffered an "orbital blowout fracture" to his eye socket after his confrontation with Brown.

Happy Friday!
Welcome to my new, updated and hopefully better laid out website. My plan is to update this weekly with news, whether it be about the books, or the antics of Honey and Quigley, we'll never know until I sit down and blather onto the page. So, here is your first update on the crazy life of Cooper McKenzie:
Like the schoolchildren going to back a new year, I find myself at a new beginning place while doubling back to face old stories. Secret Cravings Publishing, who released seven books of short story duos and trios, closed its doors this past Monday. Which means I will regain the rights to about two dozen short, short stories. I am not yet sure what I'm going to do with these stories, and there are several options. I am considering either putting them together in one giant anthology, "A Collection of Cooper", or using them as starting points for longer, more involved works.
While I'm figuring that out (and I will gladly listen to any and all opinions on the matter), I have a new book coming in October/November from Evernight Press. Highland Hart is the first of the four-book Vampire Hart series. It takes place in 1715/1725 and is more a prequel to the series as John David Hart has yet to be turned. More about that to come.
So, that's about it for today. Have a wonderful weekend (Labor Day weekend for us Americans) and a beautiful week!!!

Creating Custom Widgets for dashEE
There's a new ExpressionEngine (EE) add-on type in town and it's name is Widget! We're all familiar with the standard EE add-ons: modules, fieldtypes, accessories, extensions and plug-ins. But did you know there was an additional type that allowed you to customize the control panel homepage with your own content and functionality? It's called a widget and in this post I'll review how you can create your own widgets that work with the dashEE module to assemble your own custom EE control panel dashboard.
Before we get started it's important to note that widgets are not a standard EE add-on type. To use them you first need to install the open source dashEE module which is a complete alternate dashboard with drag-and-drop functionality as well as saved layouts and a handful of other useful features. The module comes standard with about 10 included widgets but the true power lies in the ability to create your own custom widgets. Once created you can then distribute them either as stand alone widgets or package them with your modules to add extra functionality to your existing code.
Getting Started
Just like other EE add-ons, Widget file names are always preceded with wgt. and then the name of your file and followed by .php. In our example we're going to build a widget that displays the most recent tweets from a selected Twitter feed. So if the name of our widget is Tweets then our file name will be wgt.tweets.php.
Widgets also require a language file. If the widget is being packaged with a module then you can use the modules language file. But if the widget is being distributed on it's own you will either have to instruct the user to use dashEEs or include a language file with your widget. Each widget requires two language variables that follow your chosen naming convention: wgt_tweets_name and wgt_tweets_description. These variables are important to remember because they are used when displaying your widget in the widget listing of the module.
The code above shows the beginning of our widget file. Following the standard EE add-on naming conventions, our class name will always begin with Wgt_ and be followed by our file name which in this case is tweets. Each widget file should have at least two public class variables defined: title and wclass. The title variable is used to display the name of your widget in the widget title bar (across the top of your widget) and wclass is a placeholder for any additional CSS class names you wish to assign to your widgets container div. You can also add a settings variable if your widget has settings but we'll discuss that later in the post. Beyond those three you will likely want a variable for the EE object and then any additional variables that you choose.
Index Method
The only real required method within your widget file is index(). This is the method that gets called by dashEE when a user has installed your widget. After loading the widget file dashEE calls the index method and packages it's return value within the CSS wrappings of a widget and puts it together with the other widgets to assemble the dashboard. So this method is required and it's expected to return an HTML string. Back to our example, we'll be using the Twitter API to get the most recent tweets from a chosen Twitter user for display and then returning them as formatted HTML.
That's it, we're done. For the sake of testing our example go ahead and add the two language variables to the dashEE language file and upload the widget file to the widgets directory of the dashEE module. Click the Widgets button and you should see Tweets listed. Click Install and you should see the widget added to your dashboard.
One topic that has caused some confusion is permissions. Obviously if a members group doesn't have permission to access a given module then they shouldn't be able to access that modules widgets either. To solve this problem there is an additional method you can add to your widget file called permissions(). For our example we only want Super Admins to have access to this widget so we'll check the users group and return FALSE if they are not a Super Admin.
A widgets permissions method is called every time the widget is loaded which ensures as a members or modules settings/permissions change the dashboard will be adjusted appropriately. You can do whatever permission checking in this method you wish, all dashEE expects in return is a boolean true if the user should be able to access the widget or false if they shoudln't. While it is recommended that you include a permissions method with your widget it's not required.
Widget Settings
Back to our example, the widget we have created is functional but not necessarily usable if the user has to modify the code every time they want to change the Twitter account they want to watch. To assist with this we can add a settings_form() method to our widget file to allow the user to modify the widgets settings from within the dashboard.
If your widget file has a settings_form method then an additional icon will be displayed when users mouse over it's title on the dashboard. When clicked dashEE calls the settings_form method for the widget in question and displays it's return value within the widget. It's expected that this method return a form containing the settings that you want to allow the user to change.
For our example that's going to be the Twitter username and the number of tweets the widget should display. It's worth noting that it's not necessary to specify the form action because the module will handle it's submission via ajax and as for field names those are up to you. Just remember what you named your form fields because you will use those same names when referencing those settings back in the index method.
When adding settings to your widget it's also important to declare default values for the settings in the widget constructor so your code has something to go off of when initially installed.
Now that we have our settings_form method squared away we can update the index method to reference our newly saved settings. dashEE saves all widget settings as a JSON encoded value along with the widget in the DB and that value is then decoded and passed to the index method through the $settings variable as an object. To learn more about settings you can reference the wgt.feed_reader.php and wgt.blank.php widget files in the Widgets directory as both have settings of their own or refer to the documentation.
That's it, you've created your first dashEE widget. Feel free to download the completed code to refer to for help. Hopefully this has peaked your imagination and gotten you thinking about other cool things you can develop for dashEE. Visit the Widget Directory to see what other developers have created or submit your own widgets for others to download. As always post a comment with any questions or problems.

R&B star India.Arie has blasted reports suggesting she has had her skin bleached after her colouring appeared much lighter on the cover art for her new album Cocoa Butter.
Rumors swirled online on Friday (29Mar13) claiming that the Imagine hitmaker had taken drastic action to lighten her skin tone - but Arie has shot down the allegations, insisting any difference to her usually darker colouring was purely a result of lighting techniques and nothing more permanent.
In a series of posts on Twitter.com, she writes, "Personally speaking! i'm (sic) happy to say I have NOT BLEACHED my skin... 1. I wouldn't endanger my health that way 2. i'm so in love with myself I have no DESIRE to BLEACH myself. Lol... 3. The GLOW you see IS (magnificent) lighting 4. THE LIGHT you see, Well thats (sic) all ME!!"

By Lacey Johnson
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - A prominent Virginia state politician whose mentally ill son attacked him before committing suicide said on Monday that healthcare reforms passed because of the incident would prevent other tragedies.
Democratic state Senator and former gubernatorial candidate Creigh Deeds said his son's death in November 2013 had forced him to confront the shortcomings of a state system he and other lawmakers had created.
"I know we've prevented future tragedies," Deeds, scars from the attack still visible on his face, told an audience at the National Press Club.
Deeds' 24-year-old son, Austin "Gus" Deeds, attacked his father with a knife on November 19 at their home in Bath County, Virginia. Only 13 hours before the attack, Gus Deeds had been released from state custody after a mental health evaluation.
Authorities responding to Deeds' home after the incident found his son mortally wounded by a self-inflicted gunshot.
State mental health authorities had released Gus Deeds the day before when a six-hour emergency custody order expired.
At the time of the incident, authorities at the Rockbridge County Community Services Board said attempts to hospitalize the younger Deeds had failed because no psychiatric beds were available in the region.
"This is an issue not just in Virginia, but all over the country," said Deeds.
The incident drew national attention and Deeds has appeared on "60 Minutes" and "CBS This Morning" to discuss the trouble he had getting treatment for his son before the attack.
Healthcare legislation introduced by Deeds was passed in Virginia this month. The reforms lengthen emergency custody orders to eight hours to give clinicians more opportunity to treat individuals in a mental health crisis.
State hospitals have an additional four hours to provide a bed if one cannot be found at a private hospital.
Other changes include a real-time hospital bed registry and the creation of a commission that will conduct a four-year study of Virginia's mental healthcare delivery system.
Deeds said the results of the study should pave the way for more healthcare reforms in 2016 and 2018.
A report by Virginia's Office of the Inspector General last week said that investigators could not verify a claim that a mental health official tried to contact two facilities that had room to admit the younger Deeds before he attacked the senator.
Deeds ran unsuccessfully for governor in 2009.

The bout, for the OPBF Minimumweight title, saw Hara being the slightly heavier man as he came in on the divisional limit of 105lbs exactly whilst Tanaka came in just a shade lighter at 104.75lbs. For Hara this is the same weight he has weight in 4 of his last 6 bouts whilst for Tanaka his weight was a career lightest, though it was the first time he contracted to actually fight as a Minimumweight.
Despite being lighter Tanaka towered over Hara by a few clear inches at the weigh in and was clear that the 19 year old "Monster of Chukyo" was naturally bigger than the 24 year old champion. As for Hara his real advantages are experience and this will be his 6th title bout in a little over 2 years whilst Tanaka is fighting in his first.
Whilst Tanaka is clearly the less experienced fighter the expectation is on his shoulders and his manager Kiyoshi Hatanaka has re-stated that if Tanaka wins he will be getting a world title fight next time out, attempting to break the Japanese national record of Naoya Inoue who took 6 fights to win a world title. In fact if Tanaka wins tomorrow he'll break one Japanese record by becoming the "quickest" Japanese fighter to an OPBF title!
We've got to admit we were excited about this one when it was first informally announced on Hara's own blog and now, with a day to go we are even more excited for what could well be the coming out party for the newest star in boxing.
For those wanting to read our preview it's here in full.

Zeke – Liar lyrics
I think I might wanna go out for the night
Me and some old friends, we all hang real tight
Nothing if not the original bad seed
But I take what I want and I get what I need
I'm a liar
You never called me once all throughout the day
So we ate acid at the city by the bay
I told you the truth but I should have told a lie
Enemy of honesty until the day I die
I'm a liar

I've been thinking a lot about different mediums of narrative storytelling, and after seeing this video and thinking about the future of virtual reality, I've got to admit it's making me a bit anxious:
Staring at text and reading a novel is basically like staring at a sequence of symbols and vividly hallucinating. One one level it's miraculous, but on another level, how could it possibly compete with the form of multisensory perception that the future of Virtual Reality holds? Particularly interactive virtual reality? Attention is the scarce commodity in the era of the smartphone and other rapidly advancing technology.
Perhaps, then, the surprising fact isn't that novels will die out in the future, it's the fact that they haven't died out yet. And as a person deeply committed to the novel as a specific form of storytelling, its possible future irrelevance concerns me. Should I spend decades mastering a craft that will eventually go the way of the blacksmiths? Surely there will still be niches that find it appealing but the power of a novel to shake the zeitgeist's core will be gone entirely.
For many years, plays were the medium through which the masses experienced narrative, and now they've been usurped by film. Narrative, and by extension, writing, will always be with us. Maybe the future of narrative storytelling will be through the medium of virtual reality games - as opposed to virtual reality films which are, by design, not interactive. I don't know. What I do know is that I don't want to spend time learning a craft that's going the way of the dinosaurs. I've been deeply moved by novels, films, and even some video games, so on one level, as an artist, I have to be agnostic about mediums and let go of whatever literary elitism exists inside of me (to wit, I haven't even earned it!).
Art is art, I suppose, and in life, nothing is certain. Making a bet on the future is unavoidable.

A new study for the first time shows that reducing systolic blood pressure below 120 does not appear to provide additional benefit for patients, as long believed in the medical community. Carlos J. Rodriguez, MD, associate professor of public health sciences at Wake Forest Baptist, was lead author of the study—which tracked nearly 4,500 patients for 21 years for development of a cardiovascular event. A normal blood pressure reading has typically been considered 120/80. The data showed that among people with high blood pressure, lowering the systolic level (the top number in the reading) below 120 did not further reduce the risk of cardiovascular events. The study found that the optimal blood pressure range for the systolic level was 120-139, "which significantly reduces the risk of stroke, heart attack or heart failure,'' Rodriguez said. "These findings suggest that you don't need to go lower than that to have the benefits.'' A large clinical trial under way should confirm or refute the finding; Rodriguez noted that the study he wrote with eight co-authors was not a clinical trial.

Craft cider made with heritage apple varieties sourced from our own orchards
Craft cider made with heritage apple varieties sourced from our own orchards
Here in Summerland, we're passionate about cider. Our focus is on quality, and we believe we have achieved something pretty close to perfection. What sets us apart is that our all-juice cider is made using European cider apple varieties that we grow ourselves in our own orchards. Though not very good for eating, these apples contain a surprising amount of tannins. This is what gives our cider not only its beautiful golden colour, but when fermented, results in a richly flavoured, surprisingly complex drink.
The unique blends we're proud to serve
The unique blends we're proud to serve
The Flume is our lightest, crispest and most refreshing dry cider. This "bone-dry" cider is made with absolutely no added sugar, so if you like it really dry, this is the blend for you!
Available in 500ml bottles
Porter's Dry is our boldest cider, made from a blend of 100% heritage cider apples and is dominated by one variety called Porter's Perfection. With a golden colour and an earthy, rich flavour, this dry cider was produced with the West Country area of England in mind.
Available in 750ml bottles
Woodland Hopped is something a little different for beer-lovers and cider-lovers alike. It has a lovely floral aroma lended from the hops, and delicate citrus and red berry flavour notes on the tongue. Personally, we find that the hops balance the acidity of the cider, and result in a very drinkable dry cider
Available in 500ml bottles
Tuesday's Original is our flagship cider, and we consider it a modern take on classic English cider. A blend of cider and eating apples, this gently sparkling, off-dry cider is rich in flavour with soft tannins and a lingering finish.
Available in 500ml & 750ml bottles
Sweet Paradise is our sweetest cider and was crafted with hot summer days at the lake in mind. It tastes exactly as it sounds, sweet (but not too sweet), light and fruit-forward, like a little piece of paradise where the apples were grown.
Available in 500ml & 750ml bottles
Farm Pressed is our rotating variety, inspired by the seasonal availability of local Okanagan fruit. With a delicious apple cider base, the flavour possibilities are endless! Check social media or give us a call to find out what Farm Pressed batch is available!
Available in 500ml bottles
Our tasting room is conveniently located right in our orchard in Summerland, BC, less than a minute off Hwy 97
Our tasting room is conveniently located right in our orchard in Summerland, BC, less than a minute off Hwy 97
Come visit us at our tasting room for a delicious sample of our cider varieties. Whether you're just driving through town, or are a local to the valley, our location is certainly convenient. We're located right off the highway in the picturesque neighbourhood Trout Creek of Summerland, BC.
If you have extra time, we encourage you to take a quick stroll through our orchards behind our tasting room, where you'll eventually end up on the banks of Trout Creek. Bring a picnic lunch, we've got tables set up on our patio, with our hop trellis providing cool relief from the hot Okanagan sun.
