The Langham Hotel is a name synonymous with high quality, luxury and grandeur. Oh, and those cute little macaroons they put in the room.
Cordis? Well, not so much. But earlier this year, The Langham Auckland changed its name to Cordis Auckland and the decision left many scratching their heads with confusion.
So, 9Honey Travel descended onto the grand hotel to see if a rose by any other name would smell so sweet, and work out what was behind the change.
In February this year, the hotel had a name change but also completed a multi-million dollar renovation. And we were one of the first to see.
But it’s level ten, where we stayed for the evening, which has really had a facelift. The executive lounge is a seamless experience, with butler service making the evening’s complimentary champagne and nibbles an effortless joy. A delight which works as dinner, really.
And the rooms have been tweaked, but not changed completely. There’s a ‘Double-Double’ category, with the choice of two double beds that’s perfect for families. There are also suites with kitchenettes for more long-term stays.
But it’s the smart phone found in each room which has us all excited. Guests can take it out and about with them. There’s free data and calls to seven international countries. But it does make you wonder, what’s the catch?
There is none, we’re assured. There’s no nasty bill at the end of our stay. The hotel is just moving with the times, increasing its tech specs, but also catering to the rising visitors from overseas. A record 3.7 million international visitors came to New Zealand in the September 2017 year.
The high tea market in Auckland is competitive, so it’s no surprise that Cordis wants to offer a superior experience to elbow out the competition.
And it does. The Cordis High Tea has bucked the current trend of serving large size fare, and instead does teeny tiny everything and a lot more variation. The pork pie was a crumbling delight and the raspberry chocolate mousse was still being discussed the next day.
There’s also a tea sommelier service that helps guests with the extensive tea list. Perfect if you are that way inclined, but we generally preferred the champagne. There’s three varieties with the high tea.
But it’s the breakfast which was the real showstopper. A chocolate fountain at breakfast seems wrong on so many levels, but before you know it there’s a chunk of melon on your stick and you’re going for it. And then following it with eggs-your-way and shiny mushrooms cooked in herb-infused oil. Delicious.
Finding a hotel with an outdoor swimming pool in Auckland is as hard as finding a Kiwi that doesn’t like a mince and cheese pie. But the Cordis has an impressive rooftop pool, with bar service and extensive cocktail list.
And even if you aren’t booked in for a spa experience at Chuan Spa (it’s worth a check out), guests can still use the facilities, including the herbal steam room, ice experience and lavish showers.
So, why the name change?
First up, the name change is more of a long-term goal, we’re told. The Cordis Auckland is the first of its kind in the South Pacific and it’s all about offering a more modern hotel experience.
The plan? Well, the hotel is going to be growing in the next four years and is expected to be the leading hotel of the Hong Kong-based chain.
Stays at the Cordis Auckland start at $257. For more information, visit their website.

Bill Johnson, owner of the Capitol Creek Brewery in Basalt, is poised to be the next restaurant operator at the Wheeler Opera House in Aspen.
The new restaurateur chosen to operate in the Wheeler Opera House said he has no qualms with the public scrutiny that will come with running a business in the city-owned space.
“I’m very excited about the concept, and one of the things I’ve learned in the food-and-beverage industry is that it’s impossible to make everybody happy, especially when so much of what we do is graded on a subjective scale,” said Bill Johnson, who was selected by a city committee that made its decision public Friday.
The new restaurant, called Aspen Public House, won over the selection committee charged with reviewing applications as part of the city’s request-for-proposals process that ran from Dec. 1 through Jan. 12. The process attracted 12 applicants, including the incumbent tenant Justice Snow’s, which didn’t make the committee’s final four. Justice Snow’s has operated in the 2,618-square-feet space, located at the highly visible downtown corner of East Hyman Avenue and Mill Street, since 2011 after it prevailed in a similar process with the city. Its current lease expires April 15.
The selection committee gave Aspen Public House the nod over finalist Hayden’s LLC, a four-person group comprised of Bill Dohery, Scott Gibsone, Travis Redd and Brent Reed, a co-owner of the Kenichi sushi restaurant.
“(Johnson) displayed himself with a humble confidence and he showed an ability to collaborate in ways that we felt was parallel to the success of the Wheeler,” said Assistant City Manager Sara Ott, who sat on the selection committee with Wheeler Executive Director Gena Buhler, city facilities and property manager Jeff Pendarvis, Wheeler board member Richard Stettner and Tom Engleman, owner and operator of the a la Car of Aspen restaurant delivery service. Engleman, according to a city memo issued Friday, participated in the interview process but not the selection process.
At a work session Tuesday, Ott, on behalf of the selection committee, is scheduled to update city council on its choice. The council won’t take any action at that meeting, but it will have the final say on the lease it will review at a meeting set Feb. 26.
Current terms of the lease call for Aspen Public House paying an annual base rent of $125,664 for the first year, along with an additional 8 percent for gross revenue exceeding $1.57 million. Johnson has projected gross revenue of $2.36 million for its first year of business, which would begin June 1.
Subsequent years will be subject to negotiations, according to the city memo. The proposed lease doesn’t regulate food or beverage prices.
“At this point the city council has not directed us to include that in the lease,” Ott said.
Johnson said he expects to hire 25 employees. He said he has no intentions to overhaul the space and plans to keep it basically as it is, with the addition of a few television sets and some interior tweaks.
“It will have a rustic, vintage feel that is in line with the Wheeler Opera House,” he said.
Aspen Public House will offer some beer on tap from the Capitol Creek Brewery, located at the Willits Town Center in Basalt. The menu will be similar as well, he said. The new restaurant, which will be open for breakfast, lunch and dinner, will offer salads, soups, entrees, appetizers and a children’s menu.
It will be open year-round, and Johnson said menu prices will be reduced by 30 percent during the offseasons.
Johnson, who said he will be the sole investor in Aspen Public House, cut his teeth in the restaurant business working as a bartender and cashier at Crust Pizza at Aspen Highlands, later opening Highlands Pizza Company with Ryan Sweeney, owner of Ryno’s Pub & Pizzeria in Aspen, in November 2008. Johnson later sold his 50 percent share in the Highlands business to open Capitol Creek Brewery last year.
Johnson said he earned a degree in finance from the University of Arkansas and held down a few internships in the trade before moving to the Aspen area last decade.

CoffeeCakes.com (doing business as Majordomo’s) is a privately held company that markets specialty food and gourmet gift items exclusively on the Internet. Founded in 1995, the company is headquartered in Castle Rock, Colorado. Since its inception, CoffeeCakes.com has enjoyed year-after-year growth (typically 30% annually). Originally, the company was formed as an Internet coffee shop (the first of its kind in Denver), but Sherry Comes, founder and president, quickly recognized the potential for selling their delicious coffee cakes and took the company to new heights by marketing exclusively online.
CoffeeCakes.com’s ever-expanding product line includes coffeecakes, whiskey cakes, rum cakes and travel mugs. The company recently added their signature coffeecakes in a larger size due to increasing customer demand.
The company distinguishes itself from other Internet retailers because of its obsession with providing superior customer service. For example, the company employs a “no questions asked” return policy. The sense of employee ownership resulting from this philosophy has also reaped dividends for CoffeeCakes.com. The company has consistently received a “Five Star Top Service Rating” from its customers every year since 1995 for excellence in both quality and customer service. The company’s website received media recognition when it was described as “well-organized and easy to navigate” by The Wall Street Journal. While most of the business is repeat business, CoffeeCakes.com is expanding its product line and marketing initiatives in order to grow this existing customer base.
A portion of CoffeeCakes.com’s profits is donated to help find a cure for Neurofibromatosis (NF) and to help support families affected by the disease. The company’s support for this cause was prompted by the fact that Sherry’s son was diagnosed with the disease in 2005. Gillian Anderson, who is probably best known for her role as “Scully” in the TV Series “The X-Files” is a celebrity spokesperson for the cause of NF. CoffeeCakes.com has formed a mutually beneficial charitable partnership with both Gillian and Neurofibromatosis Inc. (NF Inc.) a charitable organization that supports those affected by the disease. CoffeeCakes.com also supports cancer research, local fund-raisers and non-profit organizations and seeks to raise awareness among women of the dangers of heart disease. Sherry was recently awarded The Denver Business Journal’s “Outstanding Women in Business Award” (Jean Yancy Small Business category) for her exceptional contribution to local business and the community at large.

Buchinformation: Wolfgang Mieder: „Making a way out of no way” – Martin Luther King's Sermonic Proverbial Rhetoric. Frankfurt/M./New York: Peter Lang, 2010 – 551 S.
“I have a dream” – the title of Martin Luther King's best known speech serves today as a rhetoric symbol of the American civil rights movement in the 1950s and 1960s. Its popularity illustrates what a gifted and impressive speaker Martin Luther King was. His rhetorical talent included an unusual ability to extract proverbs and quotations from biblical texts and historical speeches, which he used for his own non-violent and courageous struggle for the civil rights of African Americans. The power of his proverbial rhetoric is examined and presented by Wolfgang Mieder's book Making a Way out of no Way. With this, the paremiologist completes a trilogy of African Americans whose respective rhetoric he has analysed within the last ten years: Frederick Douglass, Barack Obama and Martin Luther King. With Making a Way out of no Way, Mieder continues his research in proverbs and confirms his excellent reputation as an outstanding paremiologist, which he has gained over the years by publishing more than 100 books on this issue.
Mieder's interest in Martin Luther King goes back to his youth when he was a young German student in the United States who pursued Luther King's speeches. The paremiologist's enthusiasm is reflected by his extensive research and analysis of Luther King's proverbial rhetoric. In the course of his work, Mieder analysed the whole range of the priest's different writings: his books, sermons, letters, interviews and the advice columns Luther King wrote for a magazine in the late 1950s. Compiling and examining this great number of different texts must have been an enormous task for the linguist.
Making a Way out of no Way consists of two different parts. The content part contains his examinations and analysis. It comprises about one third of the work. The other, quite extensive part is an index of all the proverbs and proverbial phrases used by Luther King. As a result, Making a Way out of no Way not only fulfils scientific criteria but is also intended to serve as a reference book. The content part is subdivided into sixteen different chapters. First, Mieder examines the different sorts of texts so that the reader gets an impression of how the proverbs in Luther King's writings differ in style and background. Moreover, the author considers the different historical origins of the phrases and especially pays attention to proverbs of biblical origin. They make up a huge part of Luther Kings proverbial rhetoric which is attributable to his profession. Finally, Mieder groups the proverbs according to different topics like bodily phrases and economic phrases and investigates to what extent Luther King's own sentences have turned into proverbs. While doing so, Mieder discusses opinions of other scholars when necessary.
Reading the book, I was astonished how Luther King managed to incorporate proverbial phrases of so many various backgrounds into his speeches. Mieder gives the reader an idea about a very talented and reasonable speaker who not only was concerned with civil rights and the injustice of racial segregation, but also kept an eye on global problems like world hunger and the Cold War.
In his book, Mieder arranges the proverbs according to their different fields of origin, reveals the special quality of Luther King's proverbial rhetoric, and comments on his use of proverbs. Mieder often keeps an appropriate critical distance to his subject, but the reader can deduce the respect the author feels for this gifted speaker. From time to time the scholar gives up this distance and expresses his appreciation for Luther King; on occasion, he even takes the clergyman's side to defend him against plagiarism charges.
Mieder's work not only has a synchronic but also a diachronic character, since he examines how Martin Luther King changed his sermons and speeches over the years by adding some proverbial expressions or omitting others. This approach by the linguist is helpful because it illustrates how the priorities in Luther King's writings changed, which proverbs have played an important role over years and which became obsolete. To take the 'I have a dream'-speech as an example, Mieder shows its stages of development up to the famous final version, which Luther King presented on August 28, 1963, at the Lincoln Memorial in Washington D.C. On the one hand, this is academically correct and quite informative but on the other hand, it diminishes the joy of reading of some of the chapters when only slight changes distinguish one version from another.
To my mind the most impressive chapter of the book is “The idea whose time had come moved on” Turning quotations into proverbs. It contains extracts from speeches Luther King held in his last days before he got assassinated. One of his sermons dates from March 31, 1968, just four days before he died. With this background knowledge, Martin Luther King's struggle for peace has an even stronger effect on the reader. In this intense part, Mieder restricts himself to the presentation of the various extracts and compares them to quotations that Luther King adopted from other famous speakers. In this passage, it is sometimes hard to distinguish between extracts from Luther King's speeches and quotations from other famous persons like Abraham Lincoln and Victor Hugo. Here, Mieder should have highlighted Luther King's quotations more clearly.
A similar problem comes up in some of the longer chapters. There, it can be hard to follow the author's explanations. Some topics and quotations might have been connected more cunningly, in order to avoid any disturbance of the flow of reading. But apart from these minor problems, the content of the book deserves to be praised. It seems that Mieder has covered all important aspects of the topic. He goes well beyond a mere presentation of proverbs and facts. Not only does the reader get detailed information about Luther King's proverbial rhetoric and can experience the power of his speeches; he is also allowed a glimpse into the priest's personality and biography. Mieder can easily be understood, even if the reader does not have any linguistic background knowledge. Thus, Making a Way out of no Way proves to be insightful not only for linguists, but for the general reader interested in Martin Luther King's life and ideas.

POMONA — A 25-year-old man pleaded no contest Tuesday to charges stemming from a shooting nearly two years ago in Pomona that left an Arizona woman dead.
Robert Bogan of Pomona is facing a 30-year prison term in connection with his plea to one count each of voluntary manslaughter and attempted murder, according to Sarah Ardalani of the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office.
Bogan was initially charged with murder in the July 23, 2016, death of Deborah Gutierrez, along with the attempted murder of a man who survived.
Gutierrez, 34, died at a local hospital after being rushed by paramedics from the scene of the 3:30 a.m. shooting in the area of Holt and San Antonio avenues.
She was a passenger in a 2003 Chevrolet Impala whose driver, a Chino Hills man, was treated at the scene for a non-life-threatening gunshot wound, according to police.
Bogan was arrested by Pomona police shortly after the car-to-car shooting and has remained behind bars without bail since then.

When people refuse to speak out, public records often become the only way to expose the truth.
In the ongoing case of Isaac Sanders, many people have declined to speak publicly.
Public documents have proven to be a lifeline in our efforts to report on allegations that the former vice president of advancement at East Stroudsburg University and director of the university's foundation sexually harassed students and that his superiors covered up for him.
For example, such records have brought to light a settlement signed by a whistleblower who worked for Sanders.
The university paid her nearly $140,000 in exchange for a promise that she would not file suit against ESU or discuss the “certain controversy” that characterized her time at ESU.
One of the main questions many people have wrestled with over the years is: Why? Why would Robert Dillman, the long-serving president of ESU who retired in 2012, a man esteemed in Monroe County for his moral probity and forceful leadership, allegedly put his legacy at risk?
In an attempt to answer this question, the Pocono Record submitted a Right-to-Know request in 2009 that led to a protracted legal battle and, finally, to the release of nearly 14,000 pages of East Stroudsburg University Foundation files.
Our working theory was that, if the allegations were true, Dillman may have wanted to protect Sanders because Sanders was his chief fundraiser.
Allegations against Sanders were surfacing at a sensitive time: the wrap-up of a fundraising campaign for ESU's Science and Technology Center, which was the linchpin of Dillman's legacy.
In March 2003, Dillman's dream hit a major roadblock. The Science and Technology Center, which would be the first new building to rise on the ESU campus in decades, was in trouble.
First budgeted at $23 million, the project went through a redesign. The news was bad — a 35 percent increase, from $23 million to $31 million.
Worse for ESU, the campus in East Stroudsburg had to cover all of that extra money.
Bottom line: In total, ESU had to raise $15.6 million.
That left two options: Scale back the project or come up with the extra cash.
For ESU, scaling back the size of the building was a non-starter.
“There is a history here of downsizing buildings to fit budget allocations that we do not want to repeat,” Rich Staneski, then-vice president of administration and operations, wrote in an email to PASSHE in 2003.
ESU proposed a work-around: The ESU Foundation could raise the $15.6 million — eventually. But raising that much money could take a very long time. In order to keep momentum going, ESU asked the state to essentially float ESU a $15 million loan in the form of a bond.
The bond would be repaid by the foundation over 20 years at a cost of $1 million annually. If the foundation failed to raise enough money, the annual costs would come out of ESU's operating budget.
The idea met with some skepticism in Harrisburg, public records show.
“The Foundation has no experience with capital fundraising. Currently, they raise about $1.3 million per year, of which only $300,000 is discretionary,” Mary Soderberg, who was then the vice chancellor for administration and finance, wrote on May 8, 2003, to then-Chancellor Judy Hample and several other top officials at PASSHE.
At the time, the arrangement was not typical for PASSHE institutions. Member campuses like ESU are generally supposed to come up with 50 percent of the cost of the building, which is meant to demonstrate local support for a project and spread financial risk.
But in this case, ESU was allowed to use bond money — a loan from the state — to cover its side of the bargain.
In June 2003, the board of the foundation took a formal role in paying back the bond.
It is unclear how well the foundation was able to meet this commitment.
Soon after breaking the news that Sanders was under investigation, the Pocono Record analyzed publicly available records and spotted inconsistent payouts from scholarship funds.
Sources suggested that some of the money that ESU and the foundation needed to demonstrate their fundraising success to the state was actually illusory.
Grand commitments may not have been followed by actual payments, sources suggested. Money intended for one purpose, like a scholarship, may have been redirected to the campaign for the new building without the consent — or knowledge — of donors.
For example, $56,598 from the estate of Doris Imbt was misallocated, according to the termination letter that Dillman sent to Sanders. The gift was supposed to be restricted, and used only for the class of 1938 scholarship fund, but wound up in the ESU Foundation's general fund instead.
It remains unclear whether the misallocation was a simple clerical error or deliberate.
Four years and several court battles later, we set a precedent regarding open records. A ruling, upheld by the state Supreme Court, held that the records of private entities, like the foundation, that carry out work on behalf of public agencies, are public documents.
We also received an embarrassment of riches: A document dump of 13,889 records for those donors that we were seeking, plus others, that make this investigative effort potentially unrecoverable.
The documents the foundation released to us take two forms. The first is, from what we can tell, what comes from the file folders maintained for each donor. Here we see correspondence, thank you letters, commitment forms, prospect research and other papers.
The other comes from the foundation's fundraising database.
Both types of records are redacted, per the court's orders. It is impossible to tell which records correspond to which donor.
Do any memos, letters, emails or database records strike you as interesting or unusual?
Do you see mention of scholarship money ending up in other accounts at the foundation?
Did money that was meant to be protected in perpetuity in an endowment get used for other purposes?
Are there any significant mismatches between amounts that were pledged for the capital campaign to ESU's Science and Technology Center and the amounts that actually materialized?
In short, we'd like your help in sorting through the morass.
If you spot something that needs attention, email us at poconorecordhelper@gmail.com and cite the document batch and page numbers.
And if you want to contact us directly, please email newsroom@poconorecord.com or call 570-420-4344.

Hollywood provides plenty of movies that show war, whether you want to see life in the middle of it or learn how it breaks out, you’re well catered for.
However, there’s a stark lack of movies that portray life after war, how difficult it can be for those returning to adjust to a ‘normal’ way of life. There’s even less that portray female soldiers.
Blood Stripe follows a woman whom we only know as Sarge, Kate Nowlin (The Carrie Diaries (TV), The Adjustment Bureau) who we vaguely know has returned from active duty.
She returns home to her husband Rusty, Chris Sullivan (Guardians Of The Galaxy Vol. 2, The Drop), and his sister Barb, Ashlie Atkinson (The Wolf Of Wall Street, Bridge Of Spies) but it becomes clear very quickly that adjustment isn’t going to go well.
Sarge throws up straight after a night of passion, she’s drinking heavily and appears to see blood where there is none.
After trying to hold down a job she takes a drive and finds solace at a camp on a lake, one she once visited as a child. With the camp out of season, she helps Dot, the superbly named Rusty Schwimmer (she just needs to practice…) (The Perfect Storm, Twister), clean up and mend things.
This isolated and work-hard existence is only helping mask the problem though. And when a couple of Metallica-loving guys arrive over the lake, she begins to unravel quickly.
The arrival of a small bible-study group led by, Rene Auberjonois (Boston Legal (TV), M.A.S.H (TV)), doesn’t help either nor does trying to get it on with Tom Lipinski (Suits (TV), Youth).
Sarge continues to drink, continues to see things, continues to spiral downwards.
Blood Stripe is a powerful and well shot movie. First-time director Remy Auberjonois – best known as a TV actor (son of Rene Auberjonois) – does very well, helped greatly by the fantastic cinematography by Radium Cheung (The Americans (TV), Billions (TV)).
Star and co-writer Kate Nowlin gives a stand-out performance. She flirts from completely lost almost empty inside to woman possessed with a goal, with ease, scarily so.
You never get to see what Sarge has been through during her time so we never know what exactly is getting to her, it’s unlikely to be just one thing though. Both Nowlin and Auberjonois (husband and wife in real life) deliberately steer clear of mentioning anything like PTSD directly as well.
Regular readers will know my feelings on those traditional Oscar films, the ones where the director films a tree, swaying in the wind, or water flowing, for…reasons I’m never quite sure about.
Well, we get quite a lot of that in Blood Stripe. They’re nicely shot fields swaying and fires crackling and piers in darkness doing, well, nothing. But the fact remains they are there and they slow things down too much for me.
I was also confused by Ken Marks’ character (Step Up 3D, The Wackness). He seems to be the odd-job man around the place but Dot seemed to continually point out the things he can’t do.
He seemed to exist for no other reason than to occasionally make Sarge jump with his innocent statements. We veer-towards him having a sinister undertone but as soon as that happens we just as quickly veer away from it and don’t mention it again. It felt odd.
Having said that I can see Blood Stripe for what it is; a beautifully shot, very well performed piece of work that gives rise to two promising future talents. I just wasn’t as enamoured as perhaps I should have been.

The year I left the Philippines to work overseas, the people of the world, were preparing for the doomsday. The main headline everywhere was the Y2K virus that was supposed to create havoc in the world, and the coming of Jesus was inevitable.
Nothing happened. No computer glitched happened, and no Jesus arrived with brimstone and death. So I forged ahead and started a new life as an expat.
I wrote in my blog The Reluctant Overseas Worker how I came to be an overseas worker. It was not something I dreamt of doing after I finished university. The adventure to work overseas landed on my lap without me trying and when an opportunity like this comes who am I to refuse.
Cambodia opened the skies for me, it was my first destination. I didn’t have difficulty settling in because I have family over there.
I have a brother living in Phnom Penh since the early 90’s and my sister who is a nun was assigned there after the coup d’etat in 1997 until few months after I arrived in 2000. And the Filipino community I met was very welcoming and helpful.
The culture was different, but it was not very imposing that its hard to adapt, moving around was easy for non-drivers like me, and the food was great so you will forgive me when I say living in Cambodia, in any part of it, I felt like I was on perpetual vacation all year round. Security was touch and go in the beginning and it improved over time.
I arrived in the country when everything was rustic. and security was lax (but one cannot be complacent). Airports are like ground zero – old runway riddled with potholes, the airport was fenced with corrugated iron and we walked to the gate after we deplane. Once inside the small arrival area, I got the feel of the country — the noise, the chaos and the smell (much like some of the Philippines domestic airport).
Outside was another experience and that’s when I felt I am in another country. I was welcomed by the dusty humid heat and array of colorfully dressed women, men, and children. They are happily waiting and sending off families and friends by the truckload and it was noisily excited!
No time to rest, I was in my new center the day after I arrived. I went to meet my new colleagues and got the introduction and met the different people that I will be interacting with and would help me adjust and settle in.
Too well actually because a couple of weeks after I arrived, experiencing how easy it was to work with my organization, my colleagues and my team I told myself I can do this and make this my new career move.
My initial contract was 6-months. I was only to give on-the-job training to a few therapists who graduated in the only PT school in the country in French. The organization that hired me was English, and the medium of instructions was English so imagine me, a wide-eyed young woman in a foreign land in a male-dominated industry trying to figure out how I will do my job and not lose face (that is me being Asian) in case I bungled it up. I managed to overcome the language barrier and easily settled in my work like I was born for it.
I was happy that among the seven therapists I was to work with, five of them are female and two are male but only two of them speaks good English. The head of the rehabilitation center was also a woman from the US. She runs the whole rehabilitation center and community program while her husband runs the prosthetics and orthotics workshop and the technical school.
It was very different from working in the hospitals’ in the Philippines (which hasn’t changed a lot since), I had more freedom to be creative, and innovative in handling cases. It was refreshing.
When I joined the organization that recruited me I had no idea what they are doing. All I had was information from what they sent me to read. I don’t even know much about the country. That was the time when internet searches were something to be dreamed of and the search engine doesn’t have that much-stored data yet and Facebook will not be born until after four years.
I did learn about Cambodia but with its old name Kampuchea from my history classes in high school and from what my brother told me. I knew about the Khmer Rouge genocide and that the people had to flee their country which that time I could relate to Vietnam boat people and of course the world famous Angkor Wat. But I had no inkling as to the gravity of the aftermath of the genocide until I was there and seeing them in my own eyes.
I never saw that much amputation in my life. It was only when I moved to Cambodia that I realized it would be my reality on top of other physical disabilities that we will find in the community where the centers were operating. Twenty years after the war, I still saw acute cases because there were still landmines everywhere in the country. I tried hard to keep my emotion to myself and get on with my job. Others were not so lucky in controlling their emotions because it is just very sad to see the impact it has on the lives of the people at that time.
Back then the idea of talking about your feelings is as rare as watching a movie in a theater in Phom Penh. I managed my own stresses and emotion by looking at different ways to unwind and I am glad that Cambodia was such a hub for fun activities – live music, good food, touristic sites etc.
The country drew me in and joining my organization Cambodia Trust that runs one of the successful prosthetics and orthotics school in the capital Phnom Penh and physical rehabilitation centers also in Phnom Penh, Sihanoukville (Kampong Som) and Kampong Channang made the transition easy.
All the centers were providing services to people with physical injuries while the school trains technicians using Cambodian standard prosthesis – durable, lightweight and cheap produced locally. It was a fun learning and working experience. I was involved in anything and everything that has to do with uplifting the standards of physiotherapy and rehabilitation services in the country together with other organization in the field aligned with the prosthetics and orthotics services.
Discovering that there are so much to do with very little time, I extended my contract and eventually stayed in Cambodia for 6 years discovering more about human rights and international laws and treaties, and many more until it was time for me to move to another continent.

text: Intrusion prevention technology is understandably focused on using network data to detect and to stop intrusions in progress. When (not if) intrusion prevention systems fail to prevent intrusions, can they provide any value to the management of an incident? Using a case study of a security incident that took an international organization offline, we will look at the IPS technology in place, the role that it played in addressing the incident, and how the incident progressed when the IPS failed to achieve its expected objectives. Lessons learned will include consideration of how to use IPS technology can better be deployed, how available data may be used to assess fast-moving situations, and how IPS technology can fit into a larger program for identifying and responding to security incidents.

A Humble Attempt At Helping New Programmers Or Non-Programmers With Programming.
There are hundreds of comments on the "why can't programmers program" post by Jeff Atwood where he talks about the fizz buzz problem being the stairway to heaven of programming and how most programmers cannot code it.
While that's useful information, the real question is what are you doing to help train a better breed of programmers for tomorrow?
Jeff's attempt is stack overflow. A place where programmers can help other programmers get better at their craft.
Others are contributing their bit by answering questions there, but what are you, the person who has developed applications for ten years, doing for the non programmer who is passionate and wants to take up programming as a career or a hobby?
While I was working on my entity framework videos, I decided to take a stab at talking about the very basics of programming using C#.
It has already turned into a mini series on getting started with programming using C#; a couple have been uploaded and more videos will be added soon.
It is not the kind of video you might enjoy yourself if you code for a living, but the kind that you give to your uncle, your HR manager or that QA person in your office who always wanted to learn a little bit of programming and a little bit of C#.
Like I said, the important question here isn't why can't programmers program. The important question is: what are we doing to help folks who can't but really want to?
Consider this my humble attempt at answering that question.

In the last week, a lot has happened between O and Quinn (and Teagan). You can read the back story here.
All weekend long, the girls talked about O. They worried that he would be at their ballet class, their swimming lesson and even The Wigg.les concert. They worried that he would be there and would bite them. Quinn still has huge bruise on her thigh a week later. And then, on Monday morning, I received another call while the girls were at school. O had bit Quinn on the back and grabbed Teagan's face so hard that it left a bruise. Both attacked were totally unprovoked. I signed two more incident reports. Three reports total in just two weeks of school. After a chat with both of their teachers, it sounded like this wasn't going to stop. They were doing their best to watch him, but with 13 other children in the class, they could only do so much.
I came home, gave the girls lunch and put them down for a nap. I then wrote a carefully worded email to the person who owns the school. I filed a formal complaint. I couldn't have my children fearing for their safety at school any longer. She called me an hour later. She has known Teagan and Quinn for over a year now and knows that they are "kind and sweet" little girls (her words). She was going to bring a substitute Early Childhood Education (ECE) teacher in who speaks O's language. Hopefully this teacher could help his transition and prevent some of the aggressive behaviour.
The first day with the ECE teacher went well. There were no issues. Day two (today) was another story. O pulled Quinn's hair so hard that she peed her pants. Her first accident in over a week. I received the call an hour before picking them up to give me the heads up. When I picked them up today, the supervisor said that she would be having a meeting with the owner to find a solution to this problem once and for all. The solution would involve eliminating all contact between Quinn and O.
I received a call a couple of hours ago to tell me that O would be removed from the program.
While the girls napped today, I folded laundry and couldn't stop thinking about this whole situation. I can't imagine how scared O must be; a new country, new school and most challenging of all, a new language. But, his behaviour can't be justified by that.
I've seen bullying in the past. I was never a bully myself and was never the recipient of bullying though. I've heard experts talk about it on the radio; they talked about the reasons kids do it and why they pick particular children to bully. Why Quinn? I honestly don't know. While she can be a bit shy and standoffish at first, she warms up quickly and seems to get along well with other children. She's assertive, clever and not a pushover. It breaks my heart to think that my 3-year old was being bullied. Fortunately, she doesn't seem too bothered by it so I think that I will be the one with the scars. I'd rather that. I'm a worrier by nature and can't help but think about how bullying will be dealt with in three years when they're in grade one. 20+ children in a class. One teacher can only do so much. Time on the playground with hundreds of children. They'll be fine. I know that. But, for now, the wounds are fresh. They're cuddled under a blanket together in their fleece footie pjs watching Max and Ruby. Can't I keep them like this forever?
With not even two weeks of preschool behind us, I have heard about a classmate, O, three times. The comments about this little boy are never positive. O hit me with a block. O grabbed the trucks away from me. And today, O pushed me into the slide in the backyard. All of these comments came from Teagan.
Each time she told me about O, I asked her about how she handled it. After one altercation, she told me that she "just walked away". During another, she told him, "I don't like that." She never seemed bothered or upset by it.
While eating lunch today, Teagan told me that O pushed her repeatedly into the slide while they were playing in the yard. The rest of the story is what warmed my heart….
Seeing that her sister was being pushed around, Quinn rushed over, grabbed Teagan's hand and immediately said to O, "that's my sister!" Their friend, X, who has said that Teagan is his best friend, also rushed over and told O, "we don't push." Hand in hand, my girls then "just walked away." And then it was done. The girls then launched into a story about a book that they read in school.
1. The obvious. Despite all of the fighting they do at home, my girls will stand up for each other when it counts.
2. They handled the situation perfectly, in my opinion. I've tried to teach them to stand up for themselves and say what they want/don't want and to walk away if they feel that they need space.
3. They handled it perfectly without any adult involvement. 4 3-year olds! It was a great reminder to give them a little bit more credit at times.
How have you taught your kids to handle conflict?
When I picked the girls up today, I had to read and sign my first ever incident report. O bit Quinn quite badly on her thigh. After speaking with one of their teachers, it turns out that O speaks very little english. The language barrier is playing a part in his behaviour.
Jenn, Teagan, Quinn, Riley, Finn and I are back! I took a somewhat purposeful blogging break over the summer. I had intended on blogging of our summer adventures, but then life got busy, kids stopped sleeping, kids started fighting (a lot) and Mommy started to go a little nuts.
In some ways, the summer flew by, but in others, it didn't go nearly fast enough. The answer to the general 'how was your summer?' question would have to be that the highs were really high, but the lows were rrrrrrreally low. The girls and I had some fantastic days filled with warm weather, tons of laughter and loads of adventure and fun. I'll go into details below.
They also went through some sleep issues. Teagan has night terrors several times per week. They both also get into the habit of waking several times per night, sometimes for up to a week or more. Pair this with their bedtime antics (taking 1-3 hours to fall asleep) and we had two overtired little girls for much of the summer. As with most kids, overtired equals bad behaviour. The fighting was really bad for most of the summer. They know how to push each others buttons and fought more than they didn't. If they weren't fighting, there was lots of whining and several tantrums. Without preschool, the three of us spent nearly 24/7 together. It was a lot. Dealing with the sometimes constant fighting and tantrums emotionally and mentally exhausted me on most days. My fuse shortened and my patience was worn thin. I yelled and felt guilty and horrible for it. I was becoming a mom who I didn't like. But with 2 3-year olds and 3 dogs (Carlee stayed with us quite a bit), I tried to remind myself that I was doing the best that could. I also knew that September 2nd would come and structure and sanity would be restored with the start of preschool. And here we are…Sorry to vent, but it was needed!
In early July, we received the photos from my friend and photographer, Lauren, from the girls' 3-year photo shoot. Quite honestly, I was nervous to look at them because the girls weren't in the best moods that day. Lucky for us, Lauren is a pro and managed to capture some absolutely perfect moments!
Celebrating Grandpa's birthday with ice cream cake!
We ate delicious food, listened to music and spent time in nature at the farmer's markets.
We planted a vegetable garden and harvested fresh spinach for our morning smoothies.
We spent time in the country ridin' tractors!
We thoroughly protected our skin from the sun's rays!
Teagan and Quinn rode their first rides all by themselves.
Quiet puppy cuddles were enjoyed.
Quinn caught her first fish and cottage noodle fights were had with friends!
The animal lovers enjoyed some bonding time with Charlie, the goat, and Max, the pony.
The Toronto Zoo's carousel was enjoyed several times.
Muffins were devoured on warm summer mornings in the park.
A little bit of sidewalk chalk made it onto the ground, but colouring bodies turned out to be much more fun.
Many walks were enjoyed with the 5 children!
In other positive summer news, Teagan is mostly potty trained. It happened easily because she was ready. Apart from a few reminders on our end, we didn't have to do much! She handles it all on her own, which I love, especially when I'm trying to prepare dinner. A few weeks ago, I surprised Teagan with a package of Lightning Mc.Queen underwear. She's a huge fan and had been asking for them. Her face lit up when she saw them and I couldn't wash them fast enough. Quinn isn't quite there on the potty training front. She will go before her bath in the evenings, but apart from that, she isn't into it. On the advice of a friend, we spent a week allowing her to wear underwear. We hoped that if she peed herself a few times, she would start to think about using the potty a bit more. No luck. She would pee herself and then disappear and quietly change. Despite constant reminders to use the washroom, she didn't pee on the potty once. After cleaning five pairs of underwear and shorts each day for a week, we put her back into diapers. We didn't make a big deal about it, but told her that when she starts using the washroom regularly, she can wear underwear again. Initially, this sparked massive tantrums multiple times per day. It was particularly hard for her to see Teagan in underwear. I do not feel any stress about the whole thing, but do hope that she figures it out soon so that she can wear undies like her sister.
I'll end the summer update there, but I'll be back soon with a Rob and Kelly wedding post (with lots of pictures!) and a first week of preschool post.

Cynics can easily dismiss FinCEN’s August 11, 2014 Advisory on Promoting a Culture of Compliance (Here). In fact, FinCEN’s Advisory contains several important messages, which need to be emphasized.
FinCen’s motivation for releasing the Advisory is clear – FinCEN is frustrated by the systemic breakdowns in compliance underscored in recent enforcement actions against financial institutions, including HSBC, BNP Paribas and others. It is apparent to FinCEn that many financial institutions are relying on “paper” compliance programs to satisfy their regulatory requirements with regard to BSA/AML compliance.
FinCen’s Advisory reflects the growing importance of ethics and compliance in every business operation. Financial institutions have been subjected to detailed regulatory compliance requirements and know what the terrain looks like. Unfortunately, financial regulators have been frustrated by financial institutions’ poor level of performance and dedication to compliance.
FinCEN’s Advisory is an attempt to reverse this trend – the importance of the Advisory will be determined by how committed FinCEN is to promoting these important ethics and culture requirements.
FinCEN emphasizes the requirement that senior management embrace the importance of a culture of compliance. FinCEN recognizes that a culture of compliance is more effective than elaborate policies and guidelines that can be circumvented if necessary.
The Advisory provides specific guidance on the importance of compliance even when compliance may come at the expense of additional revenues. This principle was plainly evident when BNP Paribas continued to engage in business with sanctioned-Sudan entities because of the importance of such revenues to BNP Paribas.
FinCEN’s advisory also cites the importance of information sharing within an organization. In this respect, FinCEN noted that relevant information was withheld from BSA/AML compliance staff, and prevented the compliance staff from exercising their responsibilities in the organization.
FinCEN cited specific examples where information sharing should occur: First, that fraud investigators should share information with BSA/AML compliance officers; second, that lawyers should apprise BSA/AML of government subpoenas and other areas of regulatory interest; and third, gaming casinos should share customer profile and marketing data with BSA/AML staff.
In some areas, the FinCEN Advisory did not pave any new ground, but reminded financial institutions that they are obligated to ensure that a BSA/AML compliance program has to have adequate resources and staff to fulfill its compliance obligation, and that a BSA/AML compliance program has to be subjected to independent testing and evaluation.
These two points are fairly obvious but again reflect FinCEN’s view that financial institutions continue to rely on paper compliance programs rather than real and meaningful compliance.
Finally, the FinCEN Advisory emphasizes the importance of reporting obligations and the purpose of such reporting obligations. FinCEN’s outline of reporting purposes is designed to remind financial institutions that their reporting obligations are not just limited to initiating potential enforcement actions but extends to other important purposes, including expansion of existing investigations, promoting international information esxchange, and identify significant relationships, trends and patterns.
The FinCEN Advisory reflects FinCEN’s frustration with financial institutions and their dedication to compliance. Some of the points made in the Advisory are basic and should not have to be made.
FinCen’s audience may not just be traditional financial institutions such as banks but may reflect its intention to expand its enforcement operations against non-traditional financial institutions such as casinos and Money Service Businesses.

"The most popular "myth" to debunk these days by talking heads in the biz is that it's not about who you know. Everyone will say "just be great - you don't need connections!" Bull. It IS about who you know. I can't tell you how many opportunities I've gotten just because this friend worked at this TV station or that friend wrote for that newspaper or that friend's cousin was a DJ at this radio station. My first college gig I got because I acted in my high school's musical with a dude who was now rooming with the booker of the college venue. I could go on and on about all the opportunities I got from friends. Why? Because friends like helping friends. Plain and simple.
I didn't "use" people or become friends with those in power to get opportunities. That doesn't work. My existing friends or acquaintances happened to grow into jobs or positions that were beneficial to my career and they remembered that curly haired dude from high school, college, Starbucks, whatever, who played good music and they reached out.
Most of the opportunities that musicians get aren't because they are undeniably great. It is because they are nice guys and gals who people like to be around. The best bands in the world aren't the ones who succeed (unfortunately). Sure the music has to be great, but those who succeed are those who make it easy for people to like them.
If you walk around with a giant chip on your shoulder and bad mouth every band who gets an opportunity you thought you should get, be sure that you will lose a ton of friends and no one is going to want to help you out. If you support the bands in your scene (even if/ESPECIALLY if you think they aren't as good as you) when they begin to get recognition, your friends will take notice (as will the bands) and help you out down the line.
The music game isn't a sprint to the finish. It's a long, slow grow. Pace yourself and think of the big picture. Today's superstar local band could be tomorrow's record exec looking to sign you.
I just signed a licensing deal. How did I get this deal? Well, one of the guys who works at the publishing company used to be the lead singer of a WAY more successful band in Minneapolis. We were friends because we were in 'the scene' together. Our bands played shows together sometimes. I cheered him/them on every success they got (and I didn't). And I sneered and snarled at any hater who came out of the woodworks (or newspaper) to bad mouth them. This guy, I believe, took notice. When he started working at this company (after his band broke up) we happened to be Gchatting one day and he's like "Ari, we have to get you in over here." And I said "that would be great!" So he made it happen.

The late Dr Samuele Bacchiocchi, professor emeritus of Andrew University presenting a talk entitled, Divine Rest For Human Restlessness. In a world full of restlessness due to the hectic pace of activities and competition for first place most of us are stressed and depressed and need rest. The Bible presents a God who mandated a rest called Sabbath when man is called upon to rest and find time to focus on the source of all things and creator of all things, the God of heaven.
This talk will give you confidence that God is indeed a God of love and prepared in advance for the need for man to rest both physically and spiritually. If only we had remembered to keep the Sabbath, incidences of stress and depression could have been almost negligible. Unfortunately man forgot and thinks that this mandate no longer applies this side of the cross.

Adult skeletal muscle cells are differentiated into various fibre types with distinct mechanical and biochemical properties. Nevertheless skeletal muscle fibres reveal an enormous potential to adapt to chronic physical load by an alteration of metabolic capacity and contractile properties up to a complete transformation of fibre type. Using primary skeletal muscles grown on microcarriers we could show that the transformation of fast to slow myosin depends on the signalling cascade calcium-calmodulin-calcineurin-NFATc1. However, the regulation of metabolic adaptation to exercise and chronic electrical stimulation seems not to be solely linked to calcium signalling and not to calcineurin activation. Therefore we investigated possible further mechanisms which might be involved in metabolic transformation typically associated with fast-to-slow transition of fibre type in rabbit skeletal muscle cells. We hypothesized that lowered intracellular ATP concentration or reduction of the glycogen stores could act as triggers of metabolic transformation. Three days of pharmacological reduction of cytosolic ATP concentration by 5 mM 3-guanidino propionic acid had no impact on the investigated metabolic markers, whereas incubation of the cells with little or no glucose leads to decreases in glycogen in conjunction with decreases in glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH) promoter activity, GAPDH mRNA and specific GAPDH enzyme activity (indicators of the anaerobic glycolytic pathway). Furthermore, reduction of glucose availability increased promoter activity of mitochondrial acetoacetyl-CoA thiolase (MAT, also known as ACAT), mRNA expression of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ coactivator 1α (PGC-1α) and citrate synthase (CS) specific enzyme activity (all indicators of oxidative metabolic pathways). In experiments with two inhibitors of glycogen degradation 1,4-dideoxy-1,4-D-arabinitol (DAB, Novo Nordisk, Bagsvaerd, Denmark) or N-Butyldeoxynojirimycin (BDN, Calbiochem/Merck, Darmstadt, Germany) we found that the observed metabolic transformation caused by low glucose was induced even when intracellular glycogen content was high. These findings provide evidence that metabolic adaptation of skeletal muscle cells from rabbit in primary culture can be induced not only by elevation of intracellular calcium concentration or by a rise of AMPK activity, but also by reduction of glucose availability.

It was a really rough week for Republicans, notwithstanding the inauguration of popular vote loser Donald Trump. The vote they took the week before to repeal Obamacare, even though they don’t have a whisper of an agreed upon replacement plan, has enraged their constituents. On top of that, the popularity of the program has jumped, making it more popular than Trump, not to mention way more popular than the Republican congress. That anger was expressed out in public, which has got plenty of Republicans panicked.
It all started with House Speaker Paul Ryan being shamed by a fellow Republican, a cancer survivor, on national television.
“Thanks to the Affordable Care Act, I’m standing here today alive,” said Jeff Jeans, a cancer survior. “I rely on the Affordable Care Act to be able to purchase my own insurance. Why would you repeal the Affordable Care Act without a replacement?” Ryan stood there with his sociopathic grin on his face and lied to this man about how they really were going to fix everything, but the damage—and national headlines—were done.
And the floodgates for more protests were opened.
Next up was Rep. Mike Coffman (R-CO) who literally ran away from constituents when he found out all they wanted to talk about was what he intended to do to protect their healthcare.
Coffman answered them later, from the safety of Twitter where he said they were just a bunch of “activists” who were “making a show,” saying their “antics” didn’t change his mind. Maybe their votes will.
Next up was Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers (R-WA), part of Ryan’s leadership team, who was shouted off the stage when she tried to tell her red district constituents that she was advocating for them.
Then House Ways and Means Chairman Kevin Brady (R-TX) invited his constituents to meet with him to “share their experiences with rising costs and loss of coverage and choice.” That’s not what happened.
“Don’t lie!” shouted Emily Hoppel, a 39-year-old with her 2-year-old son perched on her hip, when Brady moved from one goal of dismantling ACA to another of defunding Planned Parenthood, which he said used taxpayer money for abortion.
“The Hyde Amendment,” she sputtered, incredulously, as Brady continued to talk over her. Hoppel referred to the legislative provision that already prohibits the use of federal funds to pay for abortion.
“Where are the plans?” came a call from the increasingly feisty gathering, many scowling and unmoved by Brady’s assurance that better solutions are on the horizon. He chided the most vocal of the group to be more respectful.
The same thing happened to Rep. Justin Amash (R-MI) even though he voted against the repeal last week.
“Do you or do you not support the immediate repeal of the Affordable Care Act with or without a replacement?” one attendee asked.
Rep. Rod Blum (R-IA) decided not to meet with folks, but that didn’t stop them from showing up at his office.
All of which has led plenty of cowardly Republicans to decide the safest course is Facebook live video talks or telephone town halls, where calls can be screened and vetted and criticism ignored. That’s the route Sen. Thom Tillis (R-NC) took, and he ran away early from even that, participating for just 11 minutes of what was supposed to be a 30-minute event. He answered eight questions.
Others aren’t even pretending. Sen. Dean Heller (R-NV) just refuse to meet with constituents at all. Some are even turning off their phone lines.
@GinsburgJobs @joanmccarter Tried calling McConnell & got due to high volume call cannot be answered. Called Paul & got answering machine.
You can’t get through to House Speaker Paul Ryan on the phone, either. Ignorance of the disaster they’re about to create is bliss, I guess. But it doesn’t seem particularly sustainable.

"They were all surrounding him, and I knew I could just breathe"
When police entered the office at the McNair Discovery Learning Center, the standoff was not over yet. The gunman was close enough to his weapons to possibly grab them. But Antoinette describes the moment she was able to finally "just breathe."
"I was shaking–I had to go to the bathroom so bad"
Anderson's interview with Antoinette Tuff and Kendra McCray takes a lighter turn. Antoinette explains how even when bullets are flying, nature calls.
"It felt like I was there"
What was it like to be on the other end of the 911 call during the Georgia school shooting and standoff? Kendra McCray says she was there and she was about to "visualize what she [hero Antoinette Tuff] was seeing and what she was going through. That's thanks to some great teamwork. Kendra explained to Anderson "if I'm calm, she's calm."
Antoinette Tuff shares the teachings she learned in her worship that helped her through the Georgia School standoff. She explains how she was able to "Push past the pain," and describes the most frightening moment of her ordeal and finding out the gunman had "bullets everywhere."
"I knew how he felt"
The gunman inside the McNair Discovery Learning Center was heavily armed, and packing 500 rounds of ammunition. Antoinette Tuff was armed with her heart, her empathy and her life experience. She explains to Anderson how tragedy in her life helped her break through to a would-be killer.
Everyone is talking about Antoinette Tuff and the stunning 911 call she made during the Georgia school standoff. For the first time, she met the woman who was on the other end of the line, 911 dispatcher Kendra McCray. Together they saved countless lives when a heavily-armed gunman barricaded himself inside the McNair Discovery Learning Center.
Tuff and McCray traveled to New York City and spoke to Anderson about how they helped stop the standoff from becoming a tragedy. Both said they were nervous, both said they hadn't slept the night before, and neither knew a reunion was in the works. They prepared for the big moment in separate green rooms, and the secret was safe until the were both on the set.
Antoinette did not come to New York alone. She was accompanied by her daughter LaVita Tuff. Lavita is a law student, and found out about the shooting on Facebook. She did not get a chance to speak to her mother until hours after the standoff ended. She didn't hear about her mother's heroics until after the 911 tape was released to the public.
Before the interview, Antoinette learned President Obama wanted to speak with her. His call came while she was in the makeup chair.
After the show aired, Antoinette and Kendra spent some more time catching up and sharing pizza.
"God put me there to help him"
Antoinette Tuff says God put her in the right place at the right time. She did not mean to be in the school's office when the gunman walked in. Antoinette explains how devastating news put her face to face with the gunman.
"President Obama that's really you"
Antoinette Tuff's story touched President Obama, and he wanted to reach out to her. He called Antoinette while she was preparing to speak to Anderson, and she had to take the call in the makeup chair. She told Anderson it was the best voice she could ever hear.
"I would like to go back and visit him"
Georgia school standoff hero Antoinette Tuff talks about the man who threatened her life, and the lives of more than 800 kids inside the McNair Discovery Learning Center. Tuff says she sees him as a hurting soul, and wants their relationship to continue.
For the first time since they worked together to help end the Georgia school standoff without anyone getting hurt, bookkeeper Antoinette Tuff met 911 operator Kendra McCray. They had no idea they were about to meet until they were on-set. They shared their first impressions with Anderson.
