Robert Strawbridge (born 1732 - died 1781) was a Methodist preacher born in Drumsna, County Leitrim, Ireland.

Early life and ancestral history

Information detailing the early life of Robert Strawbridge is somewhat limited. One article, Robert Strawbridge, offers some light unto the subject. Another source, Robert Strawbridge: Some Additional Irish Perspectives offers additional details.

In the year 1732, Robert Strawbridge was born in a small farming town in the county of Leitrim, Ireland. The town of Gortconnellan, Drumsna situates on a ridge. The town's name literally means "the ridge over the swimming place."  It is here along the south-eastern flow of the majestic River Shannon, makes a series of turns which create a perfect loop before regaining its original course. The result of the back-tracking waterway is a protected area blessed with the country's most fertile and wooded lands.  It is these abundant lands which Robert grows up. The farm with a privileged view of the river will house Robert until his 24th birthday. Crimmins (1905) calls him a native of the nearby Carrick on Shannon, County Leitrim.

The land which the Strawbridge family lives on is a gift to an ancestor one-hundred and fifty years before, when the English King James transplanted English families in the hopes of gaining strategic lands along the bountiful River Shannon. To the Catholic citizens of Ireland, this transplanting of Englishmen by the Anglican King was tantamount to military and religious conquest.  Despite the native opposition, the transplanting occurs, creating a line of natural-resource- abundant towns along the Shannon. The town of Drumsna is one of these new settlements.

Robert's Anglican household, in a gesture to disgruntled Irish neighbors, names him after his maternal grandfather.  According to JR Wesley Weir in his article,  Robert Strawbridge: Some Additional Irish Perspectives, "the long-held Irish tradition is to name the oldest son after the paternal grandfather and the next son after the maternal grandfather." From this, it is easy to surmise that Robert is the second son born to his parents.

Gaining the benefits of a proper education, Robert easily improves to a bright young man, eloquent in speech, intelligent and from a somewhat affluent family.  Robert is also a physically strong fellow, his trade as a carpenter embellishing his sturdy frame which tops out at just less than 6' tall.  The man with shoulder length hair that frames brilliant eyes and a handsome face has a winsome and gentle smile that warms the hearts of many, notwithstanding one particular young lady he eventually marries.

For Robert in the summer of 1758, the warmer months marked a two-year spiritual journey.  Since 1756, when he experienced his Christian conversion, Robert went on a preaching tour. His conversion experience was unconventional, mentored by one brought up in a traditional Irish-Catholic family. The unlikely mentor was Laurence Coughlan.

Coughlan's family is more in line with the traditional Irishmen of the 18th century, real Hibernians.  He too was born in Drumsna, but unlike Robert Strawbridge, Coughlan did not experience the benefits of education like Robert. Despite this limited beginning, Coughlan finds himself drawn and changed by the words of the Bible. His exposure to the sacred texts comes by through the efforts of John Wesley's itinerants in the year 1753.  His birth anew moves him to vigorously gain knowledge of the word. These efforts create a deep urge for him to preach to the inhabitants of Drumsna. John Wesley, hearing of the young man's efforts recruits him just two years later. Another twelve months later and Coughlan departs Ireland of his own doing to preach to the fishermen of Newfoundland.

Before Coughlan departs for Newfoundland, his early preaching efforts in Drumsna convert the younger brother of Robert Strawbridge, Leonard.  The transformation of the younger brother also influences Robert Strawbridge. Upon his conversion, Robert's "all in" approach to life leads him to abandon his trade and begin preaching.

It isn't long before his independent spirit invites opposition. His Anglican experience, much like Coughlan's Catholic experience, inspires Robert to alienate himself from the institutionalized religion of the Anglican Church. The first signs of trouble occur only months after his initial efforts to preach. The controversy arises by his efforts to go against John Wesley's admonition that no Methodist preachers are to distribute the sacraments without being ordained by the Anglican Church. Wesley was not seeking a separation from the Anglican Church. He did all he could to instill confidence that his Methodist efforts were mainly a revival movement within the Anglican Church. In Ireland, the independent spirit of several of the early Irish Methodist preachers thought otherwise.

Robert's zeal for reaching the lost souls of Leitrim County led him to go against John Wesley's rules and distribute communion and baptize new converts. Robert was determined to bring the entire Christian experience to each person he met.

This distribution of the sacraments by the Irish preachers was not a new thing beginning with Robert Strawbridge.  Years before, many of the new preachers in Ireland had themselves licensed under the Toleration Act of 1689.  This provision from the English King inspired men like Thomas Walsh and the brothers Charles and Edward Perronet to on their own, distributing the Lord's Supper and Baptism.
Despite those who preceded Robert, the Anglican and Wesleyan faithful in Drumsna ask him to leave only a few months after his initial efforts.  Unshaken by this, Robert gathers his horse and heads out on a preaching tour. His stops in the neighboring counties of Sligo and Kilmore, eventually end in the County of Armagh, specifically the town of Terryhoogan. In Terryhoogan he meet his future wife. They marry shortly before 1760. Also in 1760, Robert and his wife consider as many other young Irish couples; they contemplate leaving Ireland for America.

Your child may have received a new Internet enabled technology piece for Christmas and whilst the online world presents a myriad of opportunities for children to learn, socialise, explore, play games and have fun, it also presents a range of Internet safety and security issues. It is important you and your children are aware of issues in the online realm and ways in which you both can overcome potentially challenging issues.
This blog article subsequently outlines ways in which you can help to keep your children safe online.
Children and young people spend an average of 12 hours a week online (NSPCC) across various devices, and it can be difficult to keep up with the wide range of sites and devices that young people use. The UK Safer Internet Centre has compiled a Parent's Guide to Technology which outlines some of the most popular devices across tablets, smartphones and gaming, and highlights the safety tools available on each device.
There are over 1 million apps available, with thousands of new apps being released per day.
Whilst apps can enhance your child's online experience, it is important that they are using age appropriate apps and do not unwillingly get themselves into danger online.
Internet Matters' Parents' Guide to Apps outlines popular apps across social networking, chatting and entertainment and decoy, highlighting any risky situations that may be apparent across such apps.
As a guide, Internet Matters also list age-appropriate apps that will encourage your child to get the most out of the Internet.
In order to learn about the range of online issues your child could potentially face when surfing the net, Internet Matters outline key Online Issues. Advice on approaching such matters with your child and ways in which you both can deal with the issues covered is also provided. Topics covered include cyber bullying, online grooming, sexting and self-harm.
It is important to have regular conversations with your children about their online activity to help ensure that they make smart choices to stay safe online.
Ask your children to tell you about the sites they like to visit and what they enjoy doing online?
Ask them about how they stay safe online. What tips do they have for you, and where did they learn them?
As they develop, their interests and curiosities grow, and they will search wider. It is advisable to continually establish what your children are looking at online and what may or may not be appropriate for them to view.
In regularly speaking to your children, it will also give them the opportunity to raise anything they might be curious or worried about, or anything that they may have seen online which they find upsetting.
The NSPCC's Talking to your Child About Staying Safe Online outlines comprehensive advice on starting the conversation and what to do if you or your child is worried.
CyberSense provides an interactive platform to help parents talk to their children about e-safety issues. The app includes a two player quiz which introduces e-safety issues and encourages the child to think about what they would do if they were faced with different situations online; from cyberbullying to sharing content with someone they do not know. Once in play mode, parents can pause the app to discuss certain issues with their child and/or to learn about the topic more themselves.
Available on most Internet-enabled devices and entertainment platforms, parental controls enable you to help keep your child safe online through controlling your child's online activity.

Stuart Calderwood Coached and Ran for Laguna Beach Cross Country
Stuart Calderwood Ran at Laguna Beach High School in the early 70's under legendary coach Len Miller. He went on the compete at UCI. In 1983 Calderwood took over as head coach of the Artist and lead the program to our first State Title in 1989.

Dave Brobeck Breakers Coach and Athlete
Retired Coach Recalls Winning It All, Three Times
Twenty five years ago, seven boys from Laguna Beach High School went to Fresno on Thanksgiving weekend and did what few expected: they captured the school's first cross country state championship. "We were all absolutely shocked at what we did," said the team's number four runner Dave Brobeck ('91), who went on to coach his alma mater to its other two titles in '04 and '09.
"It was an incredible ride. I can't believe it's 25 years later," said David Crain ('90), who led Laguna to victory in '89, finishing seventh overall to become the school's first all-State runner since the meet was established two years earlier.
Brobeck remembers "an unlikely and dysfunctional group of kids" coming together as Coach Stuart Calderwood "sort of massaged all of our egos and personalities and got us to have that singular vision."
"[Calderwood] kept us together," echoed Crain. "He was just really good at making us all better."

The Laguna seven were more than just better that fall day. They dismantled the heralded McFarland program, which went on to win nine state titles in the '90s, by a score of 65-127. "Everybody had to have the race of their lives to beat McFarland that day," said Brobeck.
A number five runner for Laguna in the '70s, Calderwood was a teammate of national and world prep champion Eric Hulst, who put tiny Laguna Beach on the cross country map when he set three national age-group records during his freshman, junior and senior seasons.
In 1983 at age 26, Calderwood took over the boys program, a perennial underachieving team that hadn't won a league title since 1972, when he and Hulst were freshman and the legendary Len Miller was in his final season at the helm.
And though Calderwood would occasionally share Hulst stories with his runners, the past didn't matter to him. "What matters is building something with those five or seven kids you call varsity," said Brobeck.
Calderwood re-built the program from the ground up, winning the '86 Pacific Coast league title in his fourth season. Three years later, the now seasoned coach went out on top with a second league title and the state crown.
In 1998, Brobeck, now an English teacher at Laguna, had watched his beloved program fall on hard times since Calderwood left, finishing dead last in the Pacific Coast League for six straight years.
Inspired by his former coach, Brobeck set out to do a little rebuilding of his own. "I inherited a team that didn't have matching uniforms," he recalled.
The rookie coach knew he would never capture the degree of passion and vision that Calderwood had. "There's no two Stuarts," said Brobeck. "You can only really be yourself. I ultimately had my success just being comfortable with who I am around kids."
Brobeck took Laguna from last to fifth to third to second and eventually to the program's fourth league title in 2003. But that squad hit a bump at state and finished 14th. And for Brobeck, anything short of a state title amounted to failure. "I was really hard on myself those years," he said.
With five of its top seven returning, including number one Max Mullender ('05), Laguna looked strong on paper heading into the '04 season, but no one on the team really thought they had much of a chance to win a state title. That's because several other programs, including central-section powerhouse and defending-champs Carmel, stood in their way.
"I think that was possibly the best mind set we could've had," said Mullender. "It almost seems like most teams do better when they don't have that pressure on them."
With all the pressure on Carmel, two seniors, three juniors and two sophomores from Laguna arrived in Fresno and handed the defending champs an unlikely six point defeat 95 to 101. "It was just an amazing day," said Brobeck, his voice cracking as he recalled that singular moment when his guys took their place on top of the podium like he and his teammates had done 15 years before.
"The whole team came together, and each person pushed themselves beyond what we had done in the past," said Mullender, who finished ninth overall to join Crain in Laguna's all-State club.
Both former all-State runners competed in division one sports in college. Crain played baseball at Nebraska and is currently sales director for a medical device company in Colorado. Mullender ran track and cross country at UC San Diego and works in marketing and tech support for a southern California real estate company.
By now Brobeck naively thought he had "cracked the code" to success and would be spending many Thanksgiving weekends to come in Fresno. All he needed was a good freshman class every year.
That once-in-a-career class, the one coaches dream about, arrived in '05. But it would take a four-year commitment from Brobeck—who now had two small children that weren't getting any younger—to see that class through to its final destination.
Six seasoned seniors and all-State junior Matt Neev made the Breakers heavy favorites entering CIF finals in 2009. "The weight of pressure and expectation was enormous," said Brobeck. "I was trying just to get them to calm down and run within themselves."
When the dust settled, Laguna had run to a CIF record 27 points in a stampede over Big Bear that saw four of Brobeck's top five finish in the top six overall, and all five scorers earned all-CIF honors for finishing in the top 15.
It was Laguna's first ever CIF title, something that had always alluded Brobeck. "That was personally the most satisfying race of the '09 year," he said.
Even more satisfying than his second state title, which came a week later when Neev and Blake Hofmeister earned all-State honors in leading Laguna to another thrashing of McFarland 69-122.
Having accomplished everything he could as both a runner and a coach, Brobeck went out on top after the'09 season, just as Calderwood had done 20 years prior.
Brobeck still follows the sport that he gave to and got so much from for more than 25 years. And with most of the key runners returning from last years' boys and girls squads, which each finished second at State, he likes girls' coach Steve Lalim and his successor Scott Wittkop's chances this season to experience the thrill of winning it all.
"I can't wait to see what they do this year," said Brobeck. "Everything's in place. I just hope that it all comes through for them."
The LBHS cross-country season begins Friday, Sept. 5, when the boys travel to San Buenaventura State Beach for the Seaside Invitational, while the girls will be in Walnut Saturday, Sept. 6 for the Mt. SAC Fastback Shootout.

News Release from OX2
OX2 hands over the Ljungbyholm wind farm in Sweden to Octopus Renewables
On June 30, OX2 commissioned and handed over the 48 MW Ljungbyholm wind farm in the municipality of Kalmar, Sweden, to Octopus Renewables Infrastructure Trust plc (ORIT).
On March 11, 2020, OX2 communicated that an agreement was signed with ORIT, to build a wind farm with a total of 12 turbines in the municipality of Kalmar, Sweden.
OX2 has developed and constructed the wind farm based on a tailored EPC agreement towards ORIT. The wind farm is now commissioned and is expected to produce 150 GWh per year, which corresponds to the electricity consumption for 30,000 households. OX2 has the responsibility for the technical and commercial management of the wind farm.
Hillevi Priscar, Country Manager OX2 Sweden says: "I am satisfied that OX2 can connect with the local community and contract local contractors both during the construction phase and forward. As the Ljungbyholm wind farm now is in operation it adds needed power production to the southern part of Sweden where the electricity demand is high, and where the electricity prices just recently reached a new peak for a summer period".
Paul Stormoen, CEO OX2 says: "The cooperation with Octopus has been very positive throughout the construction period and we are happy to see another completed and delivered wind farm from OX2"
Chris Gaydon, Investment Director at Octopus Renewables says: "We are very pleased to have completed our first wind farm in Sweden and are thankful for the hard work and determination shown by the OX2 team. Completing this project in a challenging year dominated by the COVID pandemic is testament to the strong working relationship between parties."

Patrick Lencioni wrote a book in 2002 that has remained a best seller from the time of its publishing until this day. The book is entitled: The Five Dysfunctions of a Team. It is a leadership classic beneficial to businesses, churches, families, and any other environment where people need to live and act as a team.
We have been doing leadership development at my church with our staff. We broke them into groups of 3-4 people for 4 weeks at a time. One of the groups always rotates through The Five Dysfunctions of a Team. You may think, "Church staffs shouldn't need this kind of training, should they? They always get along and act like a team, right? Its church!" Wrong. As Christians, we know the brokenness of man and the power of sin. We are often our own worst enemies. In fact, many churches do not experience health and vibrancy because their leadership teams (staff, deacons, elders, etc.) are dysfunctional. At The Journey Church, we are proactively fighting against this because we want to stay healthy as a team.
The key for understanding this list is to understand they build on top of each other. It begins with an absence of trust. If team members do not trust each other, or do not trust their leader(s), they will not engage in healthy conflict. Healthy conflict allows teams to arrive at the best decisions and best strategies. But if conflict does not exist, people will not commitment to decisions. If there is no group buy-in on decisions, people do not hold each other accountable. Where there is no accountability, there will be lackluster results. This could be expounded on with much greater detail, but I believe you grasp the idea.
The comment stopped all restless movement in the room. What a reminder! As the local church of Jesus Christ, commissioned with the task of reaching our community with the message of hope and salvation through the gospel, our mission to our county is hindered if we are not unified as a leadership team.
The same is true for your church.
Every church must fight their personal and collective sin for the good of their community. Our community needs our leadership teams healthy. They may not know it, but in the sense that Jesus works through his disciples to build his church, their coming to Christ depends on our being unified. This extends beyond a church leadership team. It also applies to the entire congregation. We must fight for unity so that we can fulfill the call Jesus has given us as a church.
We should certainly speak up if something is unbiblical and ungodly. However, most arguments in churches are not centered on whether or not something is biblical, but on whether or not something is preferable, namely, to one's preferences. We must die to our personal agendas and seek what is best for the congregation. Often times in our strong desire to move the church towards a particular direction, because we think it would be best, we undermine the church because we bring disunity.
Gossip is crippling to a church's unity. Trust is undermined and healthy conflict is impossible when you fear being gossiped about or slandered by others. Here is a good gauge for whether or not you are gossiping: if you are not talking to the person who can actually do something about the issue you are addressing, then you are gossiping. The Lord hates gossip. He hates slander. Refuse to engage in this church-crippling practice.
Why are we doing any of this? Why are we a part of this church or leadership team? The ultimate answer to these questions should be that we believe in the mission. We believe in what this church is running after. Nothing unifies better than remembering what we are fighting for. It is worth getting over our frustrations if they are minor and committing to sit down to fix them if they are not, so that we can remain unified.
I will leave you with Brady's potent reminder, applicable for wherever you are and whatever you lead, "Our sin as a team will affect Wilson County." That is the sin of disunity.

"Authority Song" (John Cougar Mellencamp)
Bobby Fuller Four update, "grinning" this time as the law wins yet again. The "I" self-satisfied and better than ever due to the effort of rebelling, which staves off "growing old." "I" and "Authority" locked into repetitive game structure. Without a critique of the subject, mere happiness in slavery.

"Message From a Black Man" (The Temptations)
Plea for white self-reflection on color question vacillates between advocacy of colorblindness and Black pride (there-is-no-difference versus get-out-of-my-way). Given this uncertainty, overly optimistic assessment of the struggle's endpoint: "The laws of society were made for both you and me." Correction: the laws are designed to designate you and me, citizen and subject. Always, in liberalism, a foundational distinction, remaining.

"Black and White" (Three Dog Night)
Written in in response to Brown v. Board of Education (1954), and later recorded by Three Dog Night in the aftermath of the school busing case, Swann v. Charlotte-Mecklenburg Board of Education (1971), this trax seems to be straightforwardly liberal in orientation, emphasizing literacy and integration in equal measure. Most important, perhaps, is the trax's triumphal relation to Supreme Court decisions and their enforcement in every town, burb, and city in America ("this I the law of ALL the land"). But let's take a closer look at the scene of inscription: "The ink is black, the page is white, together we learn to read and write." Songwriter Earl Robinson's original recording had a later, counterbalancing verse ("The slate is black, the chalk is white, the words stand out so clear and bright"), but Three Dog Night removed it. So the message, on balance, is not quite color-blind: instead, it charts a power reversal grounded in a historical overcoming. Our future, here, involves blackness writing its own story onto the parchment remnants of white supremacy.

"Karma Police" (Radiohead)
Today, mere bad vibes amount to a dangerous misstep, and an unwillingness to staightforwardly communicate (post-Nietzschean buzzing, white noising, talking "maths") is the paramount crime. Criminalized bad karma, then, as a break from a mandated sensus communis, as the police are decoupled from a limited Law. But, in the coda, singer associates the Big Brother-style turning in of cultural refuseniks with a "lost" "self," suggesting that if we find our true being, singularity might be freed. Actually, this is all backwards: the lost need not be found, nor become founders of some (always retro) polity; rather, one might begin from original foundering (communications breakdown: it's not always the same).

"Me and Giuliani Down by the School Yard (A True Story)" (!!!)
To legally dance in New York City, an establishment needed a Cabaret license until 2017. And when an establishment applied for one, they'd have to be approved by the fire department and a Community Board. With a history often centered on Giuliani's "quality of life" campaign. the hazy origins of the law—that its institution and enforcement in the early twentieth century is related to segregation—allow alternate evasion strategies to emerge from the shadows, such as how gay bars routinely evaded the law's enforcement. (And why Giuliani as "Julio"?) With so many layers of approval and overbearing officiousness, !!!'s focus on the "piggiest pig['s]" stutters when it equates NYC's situation with Footloose. There's certainly paternalism in common, but there's no ban. And there's no generational conflict to exploit. It is, though, a question of what a just measure is, especially in light of NYC's selective enforcement. The creation of an illicit dancefloor can be theorized aggressively, as Autechre's project shows. It can also advocate for counterhegemonic praxis, as with the focus here on dancers sharing "nothing more than this very second" because mortality is always a beat away. Unlike Oliver Wang's notion of dancefloor intersubjectivity, we shouldn't claim that we "barely understand" what happens on the dancefloor. We listen and watch for its utopian possibilities and manifold realizations.

Company-Profile
Producing specially designed glass packaging with various volumes and colors for the food, beverages, pharmaceuticals, and cosmetics sectors, Şişecam Glass Packaging Group has a history that dates back to 1935, when the first plant was founded in Paşabahçe-Beykoz. Demand rapidly increased after that date, and production had to be transferred to the Topkapı Bottle Plant in 1969; in 1976, Anadolu Cam Sanayii A.Ş. company in Mersin was acquired. NNPB, which is an important milestone in glass packaging technology, was used for the first time at this plant in 1988.
All companies and plants operating as part of the glass packaging were incorporated under Anadolu Cam Sanayii AŞ in 2000. The Group's domestic production plants further grew with the addition of Bursa Yenişehir and Eskişehir plants in 2006 and 2013, respectively, further cementing the leadership of the Group in the industry.
Şişecam Glass Packaging Group aims to become an international glass packaging supplier that is a regional leader thanks to investments and cooperation initiatives in surrounding countries, and owes half of its turnover to foreign operations. As such, its first investment outside Turkey was the acquisition of the Mina Plant in Georgia in 1997. This investment was followed by the establishment of Ruscam Glass Packaging company which was founded to follow the opportunities offered by the dynamic structure of the Russian market and to carry out the operations in Russia in 2002. Ruscam started to operate the Gorokhovets Plant as of 2002, the Pokrovsky Plant as of 2004, the Ufa Plant as of 2005, the Kirishi Plant as of 2008, and the Kuban Plant as of 2009 Şişecam Glass Packaging has most recently acquired an existing glass packaging plant in Merefa, Ukraine in 2011, thus increasing its production capacity abroad to 1.3 million tons.
The Şişecam Glass Packaging Group currently has a total production capacity of 2.3 million tons/year, which makes it the biggest glass packaging producer in Turkey, and the fifth biggest in Europe and the world. The business continues its production in a total of ten plants, three of which are in Turkey, five in Russia, one in Ukraine and one in Georgia.

Help us fact check the NI Assembly election #AE17
by Allan LEONARD in Belfast, Northern Ireland, United Kingdom
On 21st March 2017 we successfully raised £100 with 6 supporters in 42 days
Should you trust what candidates say during the 2017 election to the Northern Ireland Assembly? Help us investigate their claims!
@FactCheckNI
FactCheckNI
We're Northern Ireland's first fact-checking organisation. And we want to fact-check the 2017 election to the Northern Ireland Assembly and its aftermath.
We need to raise £5,000 to ensure that we have enough experienced investigators at the ready.
Our media monitoring room is set to go -- we need your help!
What's the money for?
Researching claims and writing up articles takes time and money.
We're a new organisation, less than a year old, and in that time we've benefitted from some spectacular interns and new freelancers. During an election campaign, we simply need more seasoned pros to devote time and energy -- and we need to pay them.
We're leasing some extra space with the goodies you'd expect to have -- desks, monitors, newspapers, lots of tea and coffee.
Any evidence you can do this work?
Absolutely. With lesser resources last year, we were able to cover a claim from every major party in last year's Assembly election, as well as the EU referendum campaign.
Imagine how much more we could cover with your assistance!
Why fact-check in Northern Ireland?
For better community relations.
The difference in perceptions and reality in relation to facts can have a negative impact on intercommunity relations.
One significant case in point was in March 2014, with images taken out of context of a burning Union flag spread through multiple social media platforms, including Facebook and Twitter. These postings can provoke people to riotous behaviour, and we show how you can quickly check yourself to see if the images are genuine.
Fact‐checking enables citizens to exercise their most important civil right and responsibility ‐‐ to think critically and make informed decisions.
Our vision is a society that doesn't allow claims to foster volatile events.
Why should we trust you?
Your skepticism is encouraging -- we train members of the public to have a healthy skepticism of what the see and hear.
All of our concise articles provide source links, for you to investigate and examine yourself.
FactCheckNI is an initiative of the Northern Ireland Founadtion, which is an independent, non-profit organisation based in Belfast. The Foundation works in partnership with Transformative Connections, which is a social enterprise that focuses on the role of technology in promoting peacebuilding and positive social change.
We are non-partisan, and as a charity must provide a public good, which is educating everyone on the importance of media literacy.
Our staff and volunteers receive training on how to research and write our articles, which are submitted to an independent advisory panel for review and editing before publication.
Our advisory panel includes professional journalists, legal experts, community leaders, and social scientists.
We are a signatory of the International Fact-Checking Network's Code of Principles.
How are you funded?
FactCheckNI is one of a dozen projects awarded grant funding in 2015, from Building Change Trust and its Civic Activism Programme (2015‐2018), which aims to enable the voluntary, community and social enterprise (VCSE) sector to better facilitate meaningful participation of individuals and communities in decision‐making processes that impact upon their lives.
Funding from Building Change Trust will end by March 2017.
The Northern Ireland Foundation, as lead organisation, will keep the FactCheckNI website live. But without further funding, our articles will trickle and our impact will lessen.
We are actively exploring longer-term, sustainable financing. This appeal will show your public support for this crucial endeavour, particularly with widespread attacks on the value of facts.
Friends of Facts list: Become a virtual source of truth -- on our FactCheckNI website we'll publish your name to our "source list" of fact lovers.
Stress ball: Take it out on the ball, not someone else.
Mug: Remind yourself daily of your contribution towards truth as a better future.
Party: Join the FactCheckNI crew for an informal post-election analysis
Adopt-a-fact: We'll research a claim of interest to you (fitting with our editorial guidelines).
Friends of Facts list: Become a virtual source of truth -- on our FactCheckNI website we'll publish your name to our "source list" of fact-lovers.
£100 Reward


If you are still wrestling with what to do when you sin, let faith in the finished work of Christ settle the issue.
"God's kindness is meant to lead you to repentance" (Romans 2:4 ESV).
God always shows us favor, even when we sin. He never withdraws that favor or grace. Christians live in His favor twenty-four/seven. His grace produces in us God's desired effect.
One thing we naturally do in response to God's grace is confess the sin. But what God really desires for us is that we trust and rest in the shed blood of Jesus. Just as salvation is by grace through faith, experiencing the forgiveness of God is by grace, through faith, as well.
By grace, Jesus took your sins upon Himself. By grace, He suffered the punishment you justly deserved. By grace, He offered His blood to the Father on your behalf. By grace, He forgave your sins. Now, through faith, thank Jesus for what He has done and rest confidently in the forgiveness that is yours in Him.
If you are still wrestling with what to do when you sin, let faith in the finished work of Christ settle the issue. He has taken away your sins once and for all.
Begin to deal with sins by trusting in the completed work of Christ at the cross, resting in the fact that you are forgiven, and then ask the Lord to begin to work in you to be able to say "no" to sin.

Week 6 (Book 4): Dealing with Difficult People
STORY OF CHANNAH: 6 And her rival vexed her sore, to make her fret, because the LORD had shut up her womb.
QUALITY OF THOSE THAT STUDY TORAH FOR ITS OWN SAKE: Loves people
TZADIK: 7 Cheshvan- Rav Yehuda Meir Shapiro of Lublin
PROVERBS: Chapter 6
Week 6 is the second week of Cheshvan. The verse from the story of Channah continues to reflect the story of our matriarch Rachel, whose yahrzeit is on the 11th of Cheshvan. As mentioned in the previous week, G-d had not graced her with children. Yet she watched how her own sister, who Jacob did not intend to marry, had one child after the other.
The Pirkei Avot adjective associated to this week is again associated with love: "loves people." In Hebrew, it is written "Ohev et HaBri'ot," which literally means loves "the creatures." This is a quality very much associated with Aharon HaKohen, Moshe's brother and the first High Priest. As Hillel states in the first chapter of Pirkei Avot, "Hillel would say: Be of the disciples of Aharon--a lover of peace, a pursuer of peace, loves the creatures and draws them close to Torah." (emphasis added). Our sages explain that people are referred her as creatures (or creations), because Aharon loved those people that had no obvious positive qualities other than the fact that they were created by G-d. In Cheshvan, when we are "out and about" in the world, we are likely to encounter people that also do not appear to have any positive qualities, yet we must love them and learn from them.
In the above verse from the story of Channah, we see the difficult situation she was in. Channah had to live with a rival, Peninah, that vexed her about the fact that she had children while Channah did not. Such a situation required great "love for people," and the ability to judge others favorably. In fact, we are told that Peninah's motives were in fact positive ones – she wanted to enhance Channah's prayers.
Chapter 6 of the Book of Proverbs encompasses many of the basic ideas of loving G-d's creatures. It speaks of how to behave when encountering strangers, and what to look out for when faced with unscrupulous and violent men and evil and adulterous women. The chapter also teaches us to learn lessons from other creations, animals: the ant, the bird and the deer.
1. My son, if you have stood surety for your fellow, have given your hand for a stranger, 2. you have been trapped by the sayings of your mouth; you have been caught by the sayings of your mouth.
5. Save yourself like a deer from the hand and like a bird from the hand of the snare. 6. Go to the ant, you sluggard; see her ways and become wise,
12. An unscrupulous man, a man of violence, walks with a crooked mouth;
13. he winks with his eyes, shuffles with his feet, points with his fingers.
24. to guard you from an evil woman, from the smoothness of the alien tongue.
25. Do not covet her beauty in your heart, and do not let her captivate you with her eyelids.
This week, we discuss another important rabbinical figure related to the Rizhin dynasty. The 7th of Cheshvan is the yahrzeit of Rabbi Yehuda Meir Shapiro of Lublin, known for institutionalizing the Daf Yomi cycle. Rav Shapiro was a devoutchassid of Rabbi David Moshe Friedman, the Chortoker Rebbe, discussed in Week 4. Rav Shapiro was the chief rabbi of Galina and Piotrkov, and author of the book Or HaMeir. He is also well known as the founder of Yeshivat Chachmei Lublin, in 1930.
Rabbi Shapiro faced tremendous challenges and difficulties in convincing the Jewish leadership and the rest of the community at the time to institute the Daf Yomi cycle, in part because of his young age. Today it is the hallmark of the vibrancy of Talmudic scholarship worldwide.
Also mentioned in Week 4 was the Holy Yid of Peshischa. The 7th of Cheshvan is the yahrzeit of not one, but two of his descendants, both of them rebbes in their own right: Rabbi Nosson Dovid Rabinowitz of Shidlowitz, grandson of the Holy Yid, and Rav Yerachmiel Tzvi Rabinowitz of Biala-Shedlitz.
It is also important to mention the continuation of the line of Rav Menachem Mendel of Kosov, founder of the Vizhnitz dynasty, also mentioned last week. The 9th of Cheshvan is the yahrzeit of Rabbi Yidele Horowitz, the Dzikover Rebbe, who was raised by his maternal grandfather, Rabbi Yisrael Hager, Rebbe of Vizhnitz:
Although known as a formidable scholar and a man of exceptional character, he shunned the limelight and abhorred any reverence or treatment as a Rebbe. He lived a very frugal life. Absolutely all the monies forwarded to him by admirers and Chassidim were immediately distributed to orphans and widows.[1]
Other yahrzeits this week include that of Rabbi Yehudah HaChassid (6th of Cheshvan), Rabbi Shlomo Dovid Yehoshua Weinberg of Slonim son of Rabbi Avrohom, the Bais Avrohom (6thof Cheshvan), and Rabbi Asher bar Yechiel, the Rosh.

Week 7 (Book 4): Elevating (and Being Elevated) by Your Place
SONG OF THE SEA: 7 And as he did so year by year, when she went up to the house of the LORD, so she vexed her; therefore she wept, and would not eat.
QUALITY OF ONE WHO STUDIES TORAH FOR ITS OWN SAKE: rejoicer of G-d
TSADIKKIM: Rabbi Menachem Nachum, the Maggid of Chernobyl and Rabbi Avraham Wienberg, the Slonimer Rebbe (11th of Cheshvan)
Week 7 is the third week of Cheshvan. The verse from the story of Channah continues to reflect the story of our matriarch Rachel, whose yahrzeit is usually this week. As previously explained, Rachel's cries are especially heard by G-d. The verse also emphasize's Channah's pilgrimage to the Temple every year. As also previously explained, the month of Cheshvan is closely linked with the Third Temple.
The Pirkei Avot adjective associated to this week is "rejoicer of G-d."In Hebrew, it is written "Messameach et haMakom," which literally means "makes the Place happy." As in Week 5, Hashem is called, "the Place," as no place is devoid of Him. In addition to there being no place devoid of Him, there is one place where His Presence is more concentrated than anywhere else: the Temple, may it be rebuilt speedily in our days.
A person's geographical location has an immense impact on them, to the extent that Maimonedes writes that if a person wishes to repent from misdeeds, one of the options is to seek to change the locations of where they live. There is also a concept that when a person changes locations they change their mazal, their destiny. This is one of the ideas of Avraham leaving the land of his forefathers and going to Israel. Channah herself goes to the Temple to weep and pray for a child. She is not satisfied in staying in her place, despite the vexation she suffered.
However, as the quality of this week appears to emphasize, once a person is on the level of learning Torah for its own sake, it is not so much the role of place to make a person happy, as it is the role of the person to make the place happy. It is in our power to create a proper Torah atmosphere, an idea very much emphasized by the Sixth Lubavitcher Rebbe, Rabbi Yoseph Yitzchak Schneersohn, as well as by his successor, the Rebbe, Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson.
Even when faced with a barrage of attacks by those around us, like those suffered by Channah, it is still up to us, not up to others or to the place we find ourselves, how it is that we choose to behave.
Chapter 7 of the Book of Proverbs encompasses many of the basic ideas of being careful about foreign places, again similar to the messages of Week 5 and Week 6:
10. And behold a woman [was coming] toward him, the nakedness of a harlot with her heart besieged.
11. She is bustling and rebellious; her feet do not dwell in her house.
12. Sometimes [she is] in the street, sometimes in the squares, and she lurks at every corner. (...)
25. Let your heart not veer off into her ways; stray not in her paths.
26. For many are the dead that she has felled, and numerous are all her victims.
27. The ways of the grave are to her house, descending to the chambers of death.
Along with Rachel Immeinu, there are (at least) two other important yahrzeits on the same date, the 11th of Cheshvan. Both the first in the line Chassidic dynasties that remain important sources of light and inspiration until today: Rabbi Menachem Nachum, the Maggid of Chernobyl [1730-1787], and Rabbi Avraham Wienberg, the Slonimer Rebbe [1804-1883].
The Maggid of Chernobyl was a close disciple of the Ba'al Shem Tov, as well as of the Maggid of Mezeritch. He is also known for his work, Meor Einayim. Chernobyl is also at the root of other important Chassidic dynasties, such as Skver and Tolna. It is interesting to note that Chernobyl, a place nowadays usually associated with tragedy, is also associated with tremendous holiness, Torah, and spirituality.
The Slonimer Rebbe was a disciple of Rabbi Noah of Lechovitch and Rabbi Moshe of Kobrin. He is also known for his work, Yesod Ha'Avodah, as well as Chesed L'Avraham and Be'er Avraham on the Mechilta. Rabbi Wienberg was well respected among both chassidim and non-chassidim, in a place traditionally opposed to Chassidic thought, Lithuania. Under his leadership, Slonim Chassidim also became established in Israel. (Ascent)
Other yahrzeits this week include that of Rabbi Zev Wolf Kitzis (12th of Cheshvan), Rabbi Baruch of Kosov (author of Yesod HaEmunah and Amud HaAvodah, 13th of Cheshvan), Rabbi Avraham Elimelech Perlow of Stolin-Karlin the son of Rabbi Yisrael of Karlin (14th of Cheshvan), and (sometimes) Rabbi Avroham Yeshaya Karelitz (the Chazon Ish, 15th of Cheshvan); Rabbi Chaim Pinto (HaKatan, 15th of Cheshvan); Rabbi Shlomo Carlebach (16th of Cheshvan), and Rabbi Menachem Mendel Hager of Kosov (from whom stem both the Vizhnitz and Kosov dynasties, 17th of Cheshvan).
Week 8 (Book 4): Rejoicing with Creation
STORY OF CHANNAH: 8 And Elkanah her husband said unto her: 'Hannah, why weepest thou? and why eatest thou not? and why is thy heart grieved? am not I better to thee than ten sons?'
QUALITY OF THOSE THAT STUDY TORAH FOR ITS OWN SAKE: rejoicer of people
TZADIKKIM: the Radbaz (Rabbi David ben Zimra) and Rabbi Avraham Azulai, author of the Chessed L'Avraham (21st of Cheshvan)
Week 8 is the fourth week of Cheshvan. The verse from the story of Channah once again reflects that of our matriarch Rachel, whose yahrzeit is in Cheshvan. Here we see Elkanah interfering, trying to make her happy. The more we leave Tishrei, the more bogged down we feel in the affairs of the world. This feeling can certainly be overwhelming at times. It is good to be able to reach out to someone to inspire us, make us happy.
The Pirkei Avot adjective associated to this week is exactly that: "rejoice of people," making them happy. In Hebrew, it is written "Messame'ach et HaBri'ot," which literally one who makes "creatures" happy. Sometimes in order to make people happy, you have to remind them, first and foremost that they are created beings, which have the same basic needs as every other, such as eating and sleeping, etc. (why eatest thou not?); it also important to focus on the positive (am not I better to thee than ten sons?); and that things may only look bad from our very limited perspective, but our Creator has a plan for each one of us, and everything He does is for the very best.
Chapter 6 of the Book of Proverbs encompasses many of the basic ideas of making G-d's creatures happy, particularly through the Torah. Much of the chapter is also about Creation itself:
21. There is substance to give inheritance to those who love me, and I will fill their treasuries.
22. The Lord acquired me at the beginning of His way, before His works of old.
23. From the distant past I was enthroned, from the beginning, of those that preceded the earth.
24. I was created when there were yet no deeps, when there were no fountains replete with water.
25. I was created before the mountains were sunk, before the hills;
26. when He had not yet made the land and the outsides and the beginning of the dust of the earth.
27. When He established the heavens, there I was, when He drew a circle over the face of the deep;
28. when He made the skies above firm, when He strengthened the fountains of the deep;
29. when He gave the sea its boundary, and the water shall not transgress His command, when He established the foundations of the earth.
30. I was a nursling beside Him, and I was [His] delight every day, playing before Him at all times;
31. playing in the habitable world of His earth, and [having] my delights with the children of man.
This week, on the 21st of Cheshvan, is the yahrzeit of two very prominent Kabbalists, from the Sefardi tradition: the Radbaz (Rabbi David ben Zimra) and Rabbi Avraham Azulai, author of the Chessed L'Avraham (some say his yahrzeit is the 24th).
The Radbaz was the Chief Rabbi of Egypt from approximately the year 1514 to 1553. He was the teacher of the Holy Arizal (Rabbi Yitzchak Luria) as well as the Shita Mekubetzetzet, Rabbi Betzalel Ashkenazi. In addition, the Radbaz was a wealthy businessman.[1]
Rabbi Avraham Azulai was also a major influence upon the Arizal, and is often quoted in his works. He was the Chief Rabbi of Hebron, and the great, great, grandfather of the Chidah (Rabbi Chaim Yosef David Azulai), perhaps the most prominent of all Sefardi authorities in recent history.[2]
Other yahrzeits this week include that of the Knesset Yechezkel, the third Rebbe of Radomsk (20th of Cheshvan), Rabbi Mordechai Sharabi (20th of Cheshvan), and (sometimes) Rabbi Yissachar Dov ben Rabbi Yehoshua Rokeach, of Belz (22nd of Cheshvan).

Week 9 (Book 4): Enclothed in Humility
STORY OF CHANNAH: 9 So Hannah rose up after they had eaten in Shiloh, and after they had drunk--now Eli the priest sat upon his seat by the door-post of the temple of the LORD;
QUALITY OF THOSE THAT STUDY TORAH FOR ITS OWN SAKE: The Torah enclothes him with humility
TZADIKKIM: Rebbe Yaakov Leiser, the second Pshevorsker Rebbe (27th of Cheshvan), and Rebbe Tzvi Hirsh, the second Riminover Rebbe (29th of Cheshvan)
Week 9 at times is the week of Rosh Chodesh Kislev, and sometimes is contained completely within Cheshvan. The verse from the story of Hannah is divided into two parts. It continues to relate Hannah's actions, and then introduces the next major figure to play a role in the story: Eli the Kohen Gadol, the High Priest. It is worth remembering that the month of Kislev, and Chanukah in particular, is very much related to the Kohen Gadol, and to Kohanim in general. Rashi explains that Eli had been appointed judge over all of Israel. Similarly, in the times of Chanukah, the Chashmona'im were not only Kohanim, but were also kings over Israel. (See Book 2, where it explains that Eli is the prophet of this week) Eli is also sitting by the door-post (literally, Mezuzah) of the Temple. This is the exact location where one is to place and light the Chanukah Menorah!
The Pirkei Avot adjective associated to this week is, "the Torah enclothes him with humility." This is a very interesting word combination – because one would think that clothes, and especially the kind of beautiful clothes one would associate with the Torah, would bring honor and elevation, not humility. The Torah portion of Tetzaveh, which describes the clothes of the High Priest, state that they are "L'Chavod uLeTifaret," for honor and beauty. Is this not a contradiction? It is not a contradiction, because the honor and beauty are not for the sake of the individual. On the contrary, the honor and beauty are for Hashem, as well as for the position of the High Priest, not the high priest himself. In fact, the beauty and splendor of the clothes of the high priest, make the priest himself feel extremely small and humble. The same is true of the Torah. The more we learn and realize how great Hashem is and how profound is His Torah, the more we feel small and humble.
Rashi's comments on the above verse also help clarify this point:
and Eli the priest was sitting on the chair: The defective spelling denotes that on that day, he was seated on a huge chair, for he was appointed judge over Israel.
The fact that Eli was sitting on a huge chair makes his position as judge feel very great and important, but it makes Eli himself feel very small, to the point that even the spelling of the word "sat" (Yoshev) is missing a letter. It hints to how humble it made him feel. The fact that he sat outside, ready to greet all that came in, is also a great sign of humility.
Chapter 9 of the Book of Proverbs is also divided into two parts. The first part, encompasses many of the basic ideas of how the Torah's honor and beauty can uplift us, and yet also enclothe us with humility at the same time:
1. Wisdom has built her house; she has hewn her seven pillars.
2. She has prepared her meat; she has mingled her wine; she has even set her table.
3. She has sent her maidens, she calls on the wings of the heights of the city,
4. "Whoever is simple, let him turn in here." To the one devoid of sense, she says to him,
5. "Come, partake of my bread and drink of the wine I have mingled.
6. Leave, you simpletons, and live, and step in the way of understanding."
Rashi explains that "her house," is the world itself, and that the seven pillars are the seven days of Creation.
The latter part of the chapter continues the themes associated with the Flood – corruption, and the temptation of adultery. Hidden within the chapter is the verse at the root of the Jewish response to Greek corrupting ideas:
10. The beginning of wisdom is the fear of the Lord, and the knowledge of the holy ones is understanding.
The Greeks were known for their wisdom, but unfortunately not for their fear of the Lord. King Solomon explains that the very beginning of wisdom is the fear of G-d, and that true knowledge and understanding are intrinsically linked with holiness, Kedushah.
This week is the yahrzeit of Reb Yaakov Leizer, the second Rebbe of Pshevorsk, on the 27th of Cheshvan. His father-in-law, Rabbi Moshe Yitzchak Gevirzman, was the great-grandson of Rebbe Elimelech of Lizhensk. He based himself in Antwerp, Belgium, and was well known for his Divine inspiration and miracles.[1] The following excerpt also indicates his tremendous humility:
Although he was a Rebbe of hundreds of chassidim and was respected worldwide, he never deviated from his humble, simple ways. He respected the lowliest Jews, comforting them with warm words and helping with their needs. He would often sleep on a bench in the ezras nashim, offering his own bed to wandering beggars. He slept in his sukkah with tens of others who did not have a sukkah of their own.
His gemilus chassadim and tzedakah were legendary. He collected funds and supported the needy and downtrodden with incomparable humility.[2]
This week is also often the yahrzeit of the second Rebbe of a chassidic line closely tied to Rebbe Elimelech of Lizhensk. The 29th of Cheshvan is the yahrzeit of Rebbe Tzvi-Hirsch of Riminov the personal attendant of Rebbe Menachem Mendel of Riminov, and later his successor. Rebbe Menachem Mendel Riminover was one of the main disciples of Rebbe Elimelech of Lizhensk, along with the Maggid of Koznitz, the Apter Rav, and the Chozeh of Lublin. He also studied under Reb Shmelke of Nikolsburg as a child. Rebbe Tzvi-Hirsh of Riminov was a devoted chassid and humble assistant, earning the title of Rav Tzvi Hersch Meshares (helper). As Rebbe, he had reputation as a miracle worker and was known for his Divrei Torah, later collected and published in the holy book Be'erot HaMayim, as well as many others.
Other yahrzeits this week include Rabbi Abba son of Rabbi Yitzchak Abuchatzeira (26th of Cheshvan), and (sometimes) Rabbeinu Yonah of Gerondi (28th of Cheshvan) and Rabbi Eliezer Yehudah Waldenberg, the Tzitz Eliezer (30th of Cheshvan).

UM-Flint & Alumnus Help Student from India Reach Goals
Art Student Opens Business at UM-Flint Incubator
UM-Flint Music Education Course Emphasizes Hands-on Learning
By UM-Flint News On December 9, 2016 3:37 pm
UM-Flint Music in Education Course
Joined by boisterous preschoolers from the Early Childhood Development Center (ECDC), a group of University of Michigan-Flint students gathered in a circle for the last session of their Music in Early Childhood practicum.
The students sang songs together with the children, alternating dynamics from soft to loud, wiggling and marching to the rhythms, and smiling as they each took turns leaning into the microphone to lead the next verse with their own interesting choice of words and sounds.
The course is MUS 185/ECE 120, an early childhood practicum and general education class where students from multiple disciplines gain first-hand experience with music-making and teaching methods during the first part of the semester and then spend five weeks applying their knowledge by working directly with the children in a dynamic group setting.
UM-Flint students lead the children during a portion of the music class.
The UM-Flint education programs emphasize direct observation and engaged learning experiences like these that students can take with them into their profession. The students taking this class come from a variety of academic disciplines including psychology, elementary and secondary education, social work, and early childhood education.
The universal nature of the subject helped them to easily establish relationships with the children and to gain a deeper understanding of their social, emotional, cognitive, and physical development during the five-week period. Music fluidly weaves through each of those developmental areas.
Students felt inspired from interacting with the children and being able to apply what they learned from their instructor, Karen Salvador, UM-Flint associate professor of music and music teacher certification program coordinator. Salvador holds a doctoral degree in music education and serves as president of the Michigan Music Education Association.
The ECDC children participate in a song together with the students.
Salvador enjoys teaching the course because of the combined benefit it brings to UM-Flint students and the community. "We are so fortunate to have an Early Childhood Development Center on our campus so that our students can work hands-on with young children. It's a win-win: college students in my class were able to work hands-on applying what we learned in class, and we were also able to bring music instruction to close to 50 two- to four-year-old children at the ECDC."
Kimberly Nguyen is a student in the class majoring in applied psychology and minoring in early childhood education. She plans to use music in her field to help children with autism.
"What has impacted me the most is the experience of working with children and seeing their development improve as time goes by," Kimberly said. "Every child develops at their own pace and my professor heavily emphasizes that. This course expanded my knowledge on child education and development. It brought me one step closer to what I want to do in life."
Prof. Karen Salvador encourages individual participation from the children.
Using tactile instructional tools, like waving colorful scarves and tossing them into the air during a song, helped the children to connect with the songs visually and playfully. Students in the course also learned how to critique music and to discern the kinds of songs and instruments that best facilitate learning for certain age groups.
Gabrielle Staudacher is a student in the class majoring in elementary education. "I took this class because I wanted to know how I could incorporate something different in my future classroom," she said. "I learned what kind of music is best for children. I enjoyed Prof. Salvador's easygoing yet professional teaching strategies and her kind reminders for the young children in practicum. It was helpful to observe another teacher's strategies for classroom management."
Elementary education major Chelsea Smith brings her passion for music to the class each week. "The impact that music has had on my life is amazing," she said. "This class has opened my eyes to the impact I can bring to my students in earlier stages of their lives. The support that music can bring to any child's life can save them from the difficulties of childhood. Children can really enjoy their musical abilities without being judged on society's view of talent versus ability."

My first experience at Rush Street plodded along rather ill-informedly. It was the most honest visit of any kind – on my own dime and to meet a girlfriend over lunch. I ordered the salad. Big mistake. I had no idea at the time that the restaurant was a reference to the cultural and historic district in Chicago – with Northwestern alumni cheering in the upstairs viewing area on Saturdays to prove it. I don't order the salad in Chicago.
Rush Street is the kind of place you leave with leftovers. Maybe the breakfast burrito and the corn chowder were too much but you couldn't not get the corn soup. It's hearty and just the sweet you need to prep for your salty, savory brunch entree.
The menu is divided into three different themes: The Morning After (egg and breakfast dishes), Nooner Indulgence (burgers, hot dogs, salads and sandwiches) and The Brick House (pizza). Cute. Good thing the entire menu is available until 3PM on Saturdays and Sundays so you can delay your "after" to noon. You can also customize your egg dish to how you like, with a "build your own omelet" option – served with breakfast potatoes or tater tots.
The mac 'n cheese comes in a little pot complete with a baked-over layer on top. It's really the only way you imagine mac 'n cheese properly being serve: Baked to the finish. Eat this side dish right away – it's not fair if you get served too much food and let it sit long enough to let the cheeses slightly separate. *wink* 😉 It's just so pleasantly cheesy!
I've heard the pizza is consistently good at Rush Street but Maya's better half, Rory, noticed the pizza was on a flatbread during brunch in contrast to the regular pizza crust it is prepared on for the dinner menu. Since we were on the brunch tip, I thought it a good idea to dive right in – to the Bloody Mary Bar ($10).
It's a sight to behold – a cluster of seasonsings and sauces situated facing the entrance and taking up the entire end space. Expertise is unnecessary when ordering a Bloody Mary made with Ketel One (coincidentally my personal preference when it comes to vodka, but you can request what fits you) ; it's a mysterious concoction a sense of adventure could easily rectify. To start, there are three tomato juices to choose from: V8 Vegetable Juice, Campbell's Tomato Juice and the ever elusive Clamato. I chose the latter and wasn't disappointed. There are a ton of ingredient addition options and garnishes to choose from.
It may be hasty of me to judge so quick, but this brunch experience has reaffirmed the "don't order salad here" rule I learned on my first visit. With allegiance to my Midwestern roots, Rush Street also features a $10 brat, fries and PBR can special until 3 PM. I'll just have to return to try that one out – when I get my second wind.
