MillStone Cellars is about the handmade, the rustic, the refined, the traditional and the tasty. . . MillStone maintains a dedication to creating honest and innovative ciders, cysers and meads intended to complement the everyday repast. Our ciders, cysers and meads are carefully handcrafted in a centuries-old tradition by dedicated cidermakers using only the highest quality, locally available ingredients, ensuring the ultimate cider experience.. . . then. . . MillStone is about discovery and re-creating. It began in 2003 when Curt Sherrer acquired an old grist mill. In 2011, after careful restoration, the mill was brought back to life to function as a classroom for rediscovering traditional, rustic ciders and sharing that knowledge with the curious at heart. . . Just as every local community had its grist mill for transforming a farm’s grain into flour and meal, every small farm had its fruit orchard for making apple pies, sauces, jellies and especially, cider. And like the rebuilding of an old grist mill, rediscovering and restoring cider’s traditions cannot be accomplished overnight.

(from https://mikethemadbiologist.com/2015/07/14/remembering-history-versus-honoring-it/)
As Neo-Confederates continue to defend the American Swastika, they keep talking about ‘remembering history.’ But there’s a difference between remembering what happened versus celebrating it. . . Listening to them, one would think a statue of Robert E. Lee or a high-flying Confederate flag is similar to Yad Va’Shem or the Toul Sleng Museum. They’re not. The former celebrate a spirited defense of what was a massive labor camp governed by an deliberately calibrated regime of torture and terror. . . It’s fine to remember history–all of it. But that’s very different from celebrating it.

". . . Celebrity televangelist Joel Osteen said Wednesday that social media created a "false narrative" over the apparent decision to not open the doors of his megachurch to Hurricane Harvey victims. . . Osteen said that as floodwaters hit the Houston area, Lakewood Church was not initially asked by the city to open as a shelter. . . but the main thing is the city didn't ask us to become a shelter then," Osteen said. . ."
Well "Pastor", it appears that you have FAILED. . .
(from Proverbs 27:23)
"Know well the condition of your flocks, and give attention to your herds"
(Leviticus 25:35)
"If your brother becomes poor and cannot maintain himself with you, you shall support him as though he were a stranger and a sojourner, and he shall live with you."
(James 1:23-25)
"But the one who looks into the perfect law, the law of liberty, and perseveres, being no hearer who forgets but a doer who acts,he will be blessed in his doing."
(James 2:18)
"But someone will say, 'You have faith and I have works.' Show me your faith apart from your works, and I will show you my faith by my works."
I'll be your Blood Brother
By your side through thick and thin
I'll be your Blood Brother
Just as long as I don't have to bloody
My hands
Bar rooms sure have a funny way
Of bringing loyalty out in a man
Buy a drink and tell a joke
And buddy you've got you a friend
But keep a good eye upon that friend
Because he really doesn't give two hoots
And don't say anything about his Mom
His girlfriend or his army boots
I'll be your Blood Brother
By your side through thick and thin
I'll be your Blood Brother
Just as long as I don't have to bloody
My hands
Walked into an auto-mo-showroom
I need some wheels but got no money to spend
When a guy with an ugly tie
Walks out and acts like he's my long-lost friend
I said hey Buddy I've a purpose here
And if you please I will accomplish my goal
So don't you slap me on the back again
Cause if you do I might just lose my control
I'll be your Blood Brother
By your side through thick and thin
I'll be your Blood Brother
Just as long as I don't have to bloody
My hands
So please be careful when you meet someone
Who'll make a promise at the drop of a hat
And don't provide them with encouragement
You will regret the day you offered him that
Cause everybody needs some empathy
But just how willing
And how far will they go
To really help you when the chips are down
Can they be trusted half as far as you throw them
I'll be your Blood Brother
By your side through thick and thin
I'll be your Blood Brother
Just as long as I don't have to bloody
My hands

Shakespeare’s 5 Rules for Making Up Words (to Get Attention)
1. Change nouns into verbs (verbing)
Playing around with words drives language purists nuts, because it’s lazy to table an idea or shoulder the blame. . . But if you google “verbing,” you’ll realize this is a pretty common phenomenon and something we don’t need to be afraid of. Shakespeare certainly wasn’t. . . Cleopatra said, “I’ll unhair thy head!” and King Lear complained, “the thunder would not peace at my bidding.”
2. Transform verbs into adjectives
When you break a step on a porch, it then becomes a broken porch. Or when you filter your water during a backpacking trip, you can then relax by the fire and enjoy filtered water. . . And if your companion snores while he sleeps, you can kick him without fear of violating some law against assaulting snoring men.
3. Connect words never used together before
Many of the words you see in the introduction to this article are of this variety. . . Connecting words is probably the easiest and most entertaining way to make up new words, as seen in modern examples like: Afterclap, Cellfish, Youniverse. . . A method called portmanteaus blends the sounds and meanings of two words; blog is a truncated version of weblog (website plus log), and you also see this style in newer words like: Chairdrobe, Screenager, Jeggings.
4. Add prefixes and suffixes
The list of available prefixes and suffixes is long, which is one of the reasons the English language is extremely flexible. . . The term for this is agglutination.
5. Invent the word you need
Certain words just come out of nowhere. Thanks to Shakespeare, we have words like: Addiction, Lonely, Manager.
