Hopicity7.4 ABV | Lots-O-IBU
During Colonial times New York State was the Hop Capitol of North America and was poised to become the largest producing region of hop growing in the world...but then came prohibition, and with the loss of the brew came the loss of the hop farms in this area. Recently farmers in Central New York have started to reclaim old hop farms and have replanted this once top crop. Each year we travel to these reclaimed farms and gather hops fresh from the vine to brew Hopicity. It uses all fresh "wet" hops that are no more than several hours off the vine giving us the richest, resiney, most floral flavors.

This roasty full bodied stout starts out with rich chocolately coffee flavors that are quickly overcome by savory spicyness from ghost pepper infusions...not your grandma's Swiss Miss!
Irish Red Nitro Ale
Much like a red head, this one sticks out a little from the crowd--different than the mass produced Irish Reds out there, with its richer, creamy body full of smooth malty goodlynesss, balanced with a hoppy twang. Not fiery or bitter, and perhaps with a bit of an attitude, this brew might change what you think about Irish Red Ales. nitrogenated version of a yearly favorite, Irish Style Red Ale! Give this local gal a try.

We are well in the throws of Summer now and we are really enjoying (almost) every minute. I don't remember a time the weather was so nice, and I am loving the long days in the sunshine. Mads and LL seem to thrive on being outside and active, and I could happily stay in the sun all day. We have been enjoying picnics, playground trips, and days in the garden with friends- so much less stressful than our Winter pasttime of soft play. I have been organised again this month and have a few photos of my sister's all ready to share.
Last weekend we went to South West Wales on our first camping adventure. It was a lot of fun and Mads and LL relished the quality time with us. We have been switching off a lot this Summer- away from TV screens, phones and constant checking of social media, and it's been very welcome indeed.
On one of the day's in Wales we went to a local beach. We had already had a busy day at a theme park and lunch at Pizza Express (my fussy children would lick their plates clean at Pizza Express so we go there a lot!) but didn't feel it was right to go to the coast and not go to the beach, so we made our way over there late in the afternoon. I am so glad we did because it was so quiet and peaceful. We built sandcastles, ate our pretty sandy sandwiches on a picnic blanket, and enjoyed feeling the sun on our shoulders. We also found some sand dunes and the girl's had lots of fun sliding down them on their bottoms, they were giggling in delight.
I love these photos, firstly because they are a memory of a pretty special weekend, but also because my little ladies just look really happy, and at the end of the day isn't that ultimately what any parent wants for their children? They make us laugh every single day with their antics, and are the best of friends yet also fight like cat and dog. Their relationship is really beginning to shine through and they are fast becoming a real double act, egging each other on all.the.time. We went to buy a bathroom suite the other day and they were running up and down the showroom being so mischevious together. I look at these photos and my heart aches a little bit with pride and love for my two lovely daughter's.
Check out my sister's in...
*****This month I am sending you over to have a look at Chloe's lovely blog. She has just won a trip of a lifetime to California which I did a little jump of joy for when I heard because I was really rooting for her and totally deserved it with her video she made. Go and have a look at her gorgeous boys.

When I think back to my childhood of course there are many different snippets and memories that flash into my mind. Some are permanently there, and others suddenly come flooding back on hearing an old song, seeing a place I used to go, or by looking at the well thumbed old fashioned photo albums piled up in our garage.
I think when we become parents we automatically want to give our children little portions of our childhood. Likewise, with the not so good bits, we want to leave them behind. There are childhood memories for all of us from which we want to protect our children from- whether that's bullying, divorce, struggles at school or broken hearts. There are bits we want to make better. Learn from our parent's mistakes, because we all have them even if they are small, and try and give our children the very best that we can.
Becoming a Mum has certainly given me the chance to relive the best bits of my childhood. Christmas has become even more special, an opportunity to reminisce in the excitment and make it even more magical for my two little ladies. And Summer? Well Summer to me is the peak of my childhood nostalgia. So many of my memories feature those few months of warm weather- holidays in Cornwall and learning to surf, picnics and days out, and weeks of no school and constant fun times with my friends.
One huge memory of those Summertimes is being on my bike. I still vividly remember my Dad teaching me to ride my bike without stabilisers, I can still feel his hands on my back as he gently pushed me to have the confidence to pedal off. I remember family bike rides, riding round our local reservoir in the sunshine. I remember one time laughing so hard with my Dad while riding around that I fell off my bike into the middle of a cornfield. Those memories are so vivid, it was like they were yesterday. And as I got older, I remember constantly riding round our village with my friends, prank calling boys we liked from our local phone box, and dumping our bikes outside the village shop to go and get penny sweets. So many of my summer nostaglic memories feature me riding about, in that brief period of time when you feel like you don't have a care in the world.
Earlier this week we bought Mads her very first bike. It was kind of on a whim, we went in to Halfords to look at buying family bikes for ourselves and a trailer for the girls, (more about that soon!) but Mads was riding round the shop and doing so well that the next day we went and bought her one as a surprise. It's a little blue 'Pom Pom' bike with a pink bell, ribbons on the handlebars and a little seat on the back for her treasured friend 'Pongo'. It's perfect for Mads and I don't think I have ever seen her smile as wide as when we gave it to her.
Nowadays so much of our lives revolve around technology and screens, and I really hope that this little bike will be the start of lots of fun outdoors as a family and for my big girl. I hope that she and her little bike have many good times together. It's may just a bike, but it has a lot more meaning than that to me. It's hopefully the start of a childhood of adventure and fun.
I am determined to help play a part in making that happen.

To my beautiful Mads,
I should start this by saying that I have been naughty and not keeping up to date with your monthly letters. Life is whizzing by so fast and I am now a couple of months behind, with you turning 40 months yesterday on April 24th. Therefore I thought I would join the last two months together, and hopefully now I will be back on track. Oops! I want to make sure I keep writing these as I know they will be such a wonderful memento of your childhood when you are big enough to read them. I have visions of us sat together at a kitchen table somewhere laughing and giggling over what you used to get up to.
The last couple of months have been so busy and you have literally grown up before my eyes. All of a sudden your clothes no longer fit, and you have got really tall. We had to go out and buy lots of new clothes the other day, and as usual you were spoiled by Grandma and Auntie Emma. The toddler days are far behind you now and in it's place there is a little girl who is growing up very quickly.
The last few weeks you have gone through another funny developmental patch. On the whole you are a really good girl but at times you struggle to convey your emotions. Rather than just say you don't want to do something, you get upset or angry when there isn't really any need to get worked up. You can get quite worked up by things, but we are just putting it down to you learning to communicate with us properly.
Some days you are as good as gold and the most helpful, kind, lovely little girl and then some days you are harder work. We never know what kind of day we are going to have, but for the most part you are a delight to be around. There are days when you completely push my buttons and test my patience, which I guess is just what it is going to be like having such a feisty and opinonated little girl in my life. Apparently at nursery they have never so much even had to have a cross word with you, and that makes me so proud. I just wish that was the case at home too! You love going to nursery now and always get really excited when it is your two nursery mornings. I am so pleased you have finally settled in so well and I love to hear about your antics when you get home. You tell me all about what you have done and you love 'Dancing Emma' the dance instructor who comes in on a Tuesday.
We started swimming lessons a couple of months ago and when we first went you screamed the place down the entire half an hour. But within two weeks you were fine and now you make us so proud with how you are in the water. You go off into the pool no trouble and wave to us from behind the glass- you go under the water through hoops, jump in and love to splash about. We are so pleased you are going to be water confident for our holiday this year.
You have been loving films this month, and at the moment the current favourites are Toy Story 2, Frozen and all of the Shrek's. You snuggle with us really nicely and watch them and we all enjoy having a Sunday afternoon film on the sofa, although LL hasn't got the same level of concentration just yet! When we ask you what film would you like to watch you always say 'Well that's up to you' and when we say our choice you always say no and ask for a different one!
Grandma found you some old Trolls and you love to play with those too, which takes me back to my childhood. You love to be outside and one of your favourite things to do is go to the park on your scooter. You also have an obsession with play dough and constantly ask to play with yours, the other day you played quietly for almost two hours and it was lovely to see you enjoying it so much. Mummy does have to hold her breath when tiny little bits get squashed into my cream carpet though.
Speaking of our house, the other night you did something which made me the most cross I have been with you so far. We have recently got our living room redecorated and silly Mummy left a biro on the table from when she was working. We were eating our dinner a while later when we noticed that you had drawn all over our lovely new wallpaper. I was so incredibly angry with you, I shouted really loudly and made you go straight upstairs to your room. You were so upset but I just couldn't even bear to see you so Daddy kept going up to check on you every five minutes or so. Eventually we cuddled and made up and you kept saying sorry. I felt a little guilty for getting so angry but it was a very naughty thing to do. Luckily our decorator has managed to peel the sheet off so it is back looking all shiny new again but it really taught me about how to control my emotions around you. I am still learning at this parenting business too.
Your eating is getting better slowly, after months of being a complete fusspot. You eat most things at nursery except you have a real thing against jacket potato's- apparently you get really upset when they bring them out! You will try more things at home, but still have set things that you eat and enjoy. Lunch is still by far your favourite meal of the day, you love what we call 'picky picky' meals- little bits of everything and will often ask if it is lunchtime about an hour after breakfast!
You are still such an incredibly kind big sister and love to take LL into nursery first and pick her up from her room because then you get the best cuddles. You chat to her constantly and cuddle her and play with her non stop. You will always share your food with her even when it is your last bit and it makes me so proud to see you being so sweet towards her. As you both get older we are really seeing the interaction between you coming alive, it is just amazing to see. Whenever we are in the car I am treated to constant giggling as you try and make LL smile by dancing or being silly- it is so cute to hear you laughing together.
We have a busy few months ahead of us, with weekends being taken up seeing friends or family occasions, as well as a couple of weekends where you are with Daddy as Mummy is away. Plus we have our holiday to Rhodes coming up in June, something which we can't wait for. In fact you already have your sunglasses ready!
I love you, always and forever.
But as always, you already knew that.
Mummy xxx

I often feel guilty that I am not the best Mum I can be to my girls. Don't get me wrong, I am the best Mum for them, I love them with all my heart, but I mean in terms of creative activities. I am not very crafty, and I often feel like I don't make enough effort to do things like that with them.
We have our own little routine, our own little structure to the week and it suits us perfectly. They are in nursery two long mornings a week and then on the days where they aren't we rarely are in during the morning, mostly out with friends or Grandma and then the afternoon is taken up by nap time. While I relish their naps and am so grateful they nap at the same time (hello blogging and trash tv time), we don't get a huge amount of time to be in the house just being creative.
I often opt for the easy life and I make no excuses for the fact I should be doing more crafts with my girls. It is something which I feel guilty for and something I should try more of. However since January one thing that I have been trying to do is be more adventurous in the kitchen with Mads. I am a disaster chef, Mr E does the cooking, and I don't really enjoy it, but Mads adores to make things with Mummy so I am trying to bring out the creative side in her by baking together. She loves it and I really enjoy watching her little face light up when we do these things together.
Therefore this week we decided to make our own recipe modified from something I saw on a friend's facebook timeline. We called it the very original 'Amazing Chocolate Sweetie Tasty Thing' and honestly it was quite possibly the best thing ever. But perhaps not for the healthy eating,
It is a really easy thing to do with young children as there is absolutely no baking required. I think out of all the things we have done Mads found it the most enjoyable because she could really get involved with it properly.
All you need is LOTS of sweets and some chocolate bars. Quite possibly the best ingredients ever.
I guess you could choose any sweeties but we had Smarties, Haribo and Mini Eggs as a homage to Easter. (and because everyone quite frankly knows Mini Eggs rule.)
All you need to do is melt your chocolate bars together (we used three large white chocolate bars) and then pour it on to a plate with greaseproof paper. Even a disaster in the kitchen like me can melt some chocolate. Just. Then my beautiful assistant set about placing the sweets into the melted mixture. (We put more sweets in our mouth but that's compulsory really)
Then pop your horrendously sickly but all kinds of amazing creation in the fridge until it sets again. Mads was very impatient at this point and kept peering into the fridge to see if it was hard enough. So did I.
And voila! Break into pieces and serve. Trust me, you need to experience this. It doesn't look anything special but it is better than anything you could ever imagine. ;)
This post should probably come with a disclaimer. This is the most sickly, unhealthy treat you could imagine and it is definitely not good for the waistline but is so easy and fun to make for little ones. Mads and I made a fair bit and we wanted to leave a big slab for Mr E. Unfortunately for Mr E, his slab ended up being rather small as the chocolate just seemed to want to be in our mouth's. Oops.
So if you have zero willpower like myself and my three year old then perhaps it isn't the best thing to make as you will just want to eat it ALL.
We had a great time making it together, and an even better time eating it. I love these ordinary moments with my lovely little girl. She's even worth going in the kitchen for.

World Cup roundtable: Ahead of U.S.-Belgium game, answering key questions
Take a glance over your shoulder and into the past. Back behind you, scattered in stadiums across Brazil, is the Group of Death. Look closely and you can see its former members, Portugal and Ghana, strewn about in the wake, left for dead because the Americans and the Germans were just a bit better at the 2014 FIFA World Cup.
Remarkable, isn't it, that this U.S. bunch with a new coach and without its top striker dug deep enough to hold its own with some of the sport's elite. Remarkable, isn't it, that because Belgium was solid but not dominant, victorious but not convincingly so, meaning the United States is being picked by many to reach the quarterfinals.
It's one of the best stories of the World Cup, along with Costa Rica's incredible performance and Colombia's return to glory. And Tuesday, with the entire nation watching, the Americans have a chance to write another chapter against Belgium.
Here to help me break down the biggest U.S. soccer game in more than a decade is Peter Edmiston, host of "The Morning Rush" on Sports 56 WHBQ and "Numbers Game" contributor columnist for The Commercial Appeal, and Zack McMillin, deputy sports editor and columnist:
1. The internet is buzzing over the possible return of Jozy Altidore, the U.S. striker who left the World Cup opener against Ghana with a hamstring injury. What type of boost would Altidore's presence, even in a limited role as a substitute, give the American attack going forward?
Zack McMillin: The U.S. prepared its entire offensive attack based on putting a big target forward like Altidore up front, and the U.S. has missed his ability to hold the ball and allow the attack to build around him. Not to mention, Altidore appeared to have regained his goal-scoring mojo in the pre-tournament send-off series. As much as anything, Altidore's presence could liberate Clint Dempsey to apply more menace and creativity to the offensive attack.
And with Belgium itself dealing with huge injury concerns on its backline -- fullback Anthony Vanden Borre is out, center back Vincent Kompany is doubtful and two other defenders are questionable -- the U.S. must show more aggression in the opponent's half of the field.
Michael Cohen: The return of Altidore in some capacity, small or large, would be a huge boost to the U.S. both psychologically and tactically. The psychological advantage is obvious: Any team -- even a confident one -- would receive a jolt when its top striker is deemed healthy enough to return to the pitch.
More importantly, Altidore allows the United States to return to what it was designed to do under Klinsmann, which is play the ball to a target striker and feed off his strength and ability to hold possession. Most notably this would free up Clint Dempsey, who has been playing out of position as a lone striker, and allow him to make more of the attacking runs in behind an opposing defense that he does so well.
Edmiston: The tactic employed by Jurgen Klinsmann in the buildup to the World Cup that showed the most promise was the one with Altidore as a featured striker at the top of the midfield formation. His presence and physicality allow for the United States to have what you might call a "release valve"; that is, the ability to get out of a tight spot by playing the ball forward to Altidore, allowing him to bring it down and hold it so that the Americans can join the attack. Such a release is critical against a Belgian team with the technical ability, like Germany, to simply hold the ball and make it hard for the U.S. to even get possession. Though the U.S. midfield has played well, the Belgians are better suited to dominate the middle of the pitch. Thus, it's incumbent upon the U.S. to move the ball to the flanks and get it into the box, an area Altidore is also well-suited to handle.
A healthy Altidore would be a big boost for the American team.
2. As Michael Bradley continues to play below the level he is capable of, Jurgen Klinsmann made something of a tactical change against Germany. He allowed Jermaine Jones, a holding midfielder, to push higher up the field to join Bradley on offense. Kyle Beckerman, the other holding midfielder, stayed behind to cover the defense. What did you think of Jones in this role?
McMillin: Klinsmann fully trusts Jones and is not a strict, stick-to-the-alignment coach. A strength of Klinsmann-coached teams remains how freely and confident they seem to play, and nobody has embodied that more than Jones. I do think the criticism of Bradley is ignoring the incredible range he continues to show on the field -- nobody covered more ground (23.6 miles!) in the three group stage games -- but I do get the feeling he sometimes is caught in between roles, the U.S. needing him for offensive creativity and ruthless defense. The risk for lengthening Jones' leash too much is that he extends beyond his optimal role defusing attacks and triggering counters.
Cohen: As someone who had some serious reservations about Jones before the tournament, I can confidently say that he has proven me wrong in more ways than one, and he has become my favorite player to watch on this particular team. Jones' impeccable conditioning and motor allows him to cover a staggering amount of the field from his defensive midfield position, pushing forward to help Bradley while still having the pace needed to track back and help Beckerman. And against Ghana he showed he is a capable, though not great, wide midfielder. In other words, I like what Jones brings regardless of where he lines up, and his ability to roam while maintaining discipline might be his best trait.
Edmiston: I didn't really like Jones on Thursday as a more forward midfielder and I don't really like him in that role in general. It's understandable to try to account for Bradley's disappointing contributions going forward, but I don't think Jones is the player to do that. There is a reason the United States didn't account for a single shot on target -- one of only two teams to do that in this year's competition (Australia was the other). The United States is the only team to advance out of the group stages with fewer than 10 shots on target and the only team to advance out of the group stages while maintaining fewer than 40 percent possession on average. Midfield has not been spectacular in attack or in possession, and moving Jones forward doesn't help either of those things improve.
If Klinsmann doesn't think Bradley can handle himself in that role, he needs to find a different place for him (deeper-lying) and use a more traditional attacking player closer to the striker, whether that be Clint Dempsey, Alejandro Bedoya, Graham Zusi, or even the tricky Mix Diskerud. Out of the 24 passes Jones completed against Germany, only seven actually went forward. There are better options than Jones if you need a more creative player.
3. Perhaps Klinsmann's boldest move of the tournament was starting Omar Gonzalez at center back against Germany, replacing Geoff Cameron. By all accounts, Gonzalez played extremely well. That said, who would you prefer to start alongside Matt Besler against Belgium?
McMillin: I think the result speaks for itself -- Gonzalez was nearly flawless against the most potent front seven in the tournament, showing why he's the top-paid defensive player in Major League Soccer. And he brought real presence to the U.S. backline. I still think Cameron, despite two huge mistakes, is more than up to the task, and that's a good thing, since Gonzalez will be playing on a yellow card and would miss the next U.S. game if he picked up a yellow in a U.S. victory.
Cohen: Gonzalez must start, and I can say that with no hesitation. What he brought to the United States defense, because of his 6-5 frame, was a towering physical presence that both Besler and Cameron do not have. I thought Gonzalez was brilliant in the air, cutting out crosses and long through balls with relative ease, and sending a clear message to Portugal's offense in the process: This space is mine. Gonzalez and Besler, in my eyes, were a great pairing, and I would love to see them again against Belgium's powerful, 220-pound striker Romelu Lukaku.
Edmiston: Given the height and power of the Belgian strikeforce, and given his excellent performance against Germany, the 6-5, 210-pound Gonzalez is a must-start in my mind. Honestly, and this may seem odd, but I would consider the possibility of sliding the bigger Cameron in alongside Gonzalez. Whether it's Divock Origi, Romelu Lukaku, Marouane Fellaini, or Kevin Mirallas in the forward roles for Belgium, all of them are either tall, physically powerful, or both. Especially when it comes to set pieces -- free kicks and corners -- the United States needs power and height. It would be harsh on Besler, who would have done nothing to merit being dropped, but it has to enter Klinsmann's mind as a possibility.
4. Though Belgium earned all nine points in the group stage with three victories, they left a lot to be desired from soccer fans who considered the Belgians a dark horse to win the tournament. Belgium scored just four goals in three games, often relying on last-minute heroics to pull out wins. Still, the Belgians have some incredible individual talents. What concerns you entering Tuesday's game?
McMillin: Belgium thrives on dominating possession, and the U.S. has struggled in that area more than any other the first three games. At some point, that may catch up to the U.S., and there is real danger in a team with lethal strikers like Romelu Lukaku and Dries Mertens up front ahead of creative midfielders like Marouane Fellaini (the guy with the hair) and Eden Hazard. The U.S. must show an ability to trouble Belgium's injury-plagued backline and make those talented offensive stars spend more time worried about defense.
Cohen: The strength of the U.S. midfield, in theory, is up the middle, with Jones and Beckerman as holding midfielders and Bradley ahead of them. Belgium, it can be argued, is strongest out on the flanks with the likes of Eden Hazard (Chelsea) and Kevin Mirallas (Everton) each possessing great top-end speed and lightning-quick feet. I worry if, because of this speed on the wings, Beckerman and Jones will be pulled to the outside to help cover the American outside midfielders, which could make the U.S. defense susceptible to runs in behind by Belgium's central midfielders.
In other words, Belgium may choose to attack like Ghana, with tons of crosses from their hyper-quick wing players. The scary part, for U.S. fans, is that Belgium possesses much better finishers in and around the box than the Ghanaians.
Edmiston: As I outlined in an earlier response, the United States has struggled to put offense together. It has been a continual issue for the U.S. at the highest levels of play and it continues now. Though the United States only lost 1-0 to Germany, the fact is the Germans dominated and the Americans really only had one major chance of note in the match. I worry that the United States will once again fail to get hold of the midfield battle. I expect that Belgium will dominate possession, and that's fine, but the U.S. cannot allow them to simply stride forward without pressing the ball in the middle third of the pitch. The U.S. gave way too much respect to Germany (especially in the first 15-20 minutes) and allowed them to casually bring the ball almost into the final third of the pitch without much opposition. That won't work against the Belgians. The U.S. needs to utilize selective pressing in the middle of the pitch and disrupt the build-up play. If they sit too deep, that's going to cause a bombardment -- and a loss.
5. Who wins: Belgium or the United States?
McMillin: Pace yourself, U.S. soccer fans, because there'll be need for a few extra pints -- I'm calling this one 2-2 in regulation and the U.S. winning in a penalty-kick shootout that features more saves (from excellent keepers Tim Howard of the U.S. and Thibaut Courtois of Belgium) than conversions. The athleticism and energy on both sides give this match huge potential for entertaining, dramatic soccer.
Cohen: To me, this game seems destined for a shootout. A 1-1 tie at the end of regulation leads to a lot of cautious play in overtime, given the quality of the goalkeepers for both teams. It can be argued that Tim Howard and Thibaut Courtois are the two best goalies in the tournament, meaning each side is likely to fancy its chances in a shootout. But there's something about this U.S. side that feels special. The Americans, and their German-wunderkind coach, pull off another upset and advance.
Edmiston: I hope I'm wrong but I think Belgium wins 2-0. They've managed to win ugly and managed to make their makeshift defense work in spite of the fact that they've been far from their best. I expect a stout US resistance but the talent level of Belgium will be too much to overcome.

Reasons Why Cats Won't Use the Litter Box
Cats are naturally clean creatures. If your cat is not using her litter box, it may be because:
Her litter is too dirty. This is the most common reason. Clean out her litter more often and see if this helps.
Stress. Perhaps your feline is anxious about a move, new furniture or carpeting, a new person or animal in the house ...
She is attracted to a previously soiled location. If your cat keeps returning to one spot, it may be a spot where another pet previously soiled. Make this spot less attractive to your pet by:
- Put her food bowl there. Cats do not like to eliminate at the same place they eat.
- Neutralize odour. A half and half solution of white vinegar and water will help to rid the area of any smell.
- Cover the area with a plastic sheet. This will make it unpleasant to your kitty and discourage her from eliminating there.
Your kitty may not like her brand of litter. Cats can be finicky; if you have recently changed the type of litter used, change it back. If not, experiment with other brands until you find one that kitty likes.
Your cat may not know where her litter box is. Especially common with young kittens or after a move. Place the litter box in a clean, accessible, and relatively quiet location and show your cat where it is. You may want to put the box on the same floor as the cat to begin with.
Your cat is marking his territory. Male cats sometimes spray urine to mark their territory; this is yet another good reason to be sure you neuter your pet (neutered males are less likely to spray).
If your cat has always used her litter box and has recently started to "mess", consider taking her to the vet to rule out any medical conditions.
Reader Tips:
Michelle Writes:
"My cat is very old and has kidney failure. Since then she has refused to use a litter box and I tried every kind of litter under the sun, but she would only go on my carpet or on a pile of dirty clothes (imagine how irritating that was!).
ANYHOW, I did finally discover a solution that I would like to share. She loves using hamster bedding made out of mulched paper. I get "CareFresh Pet Bedding" from PetSmart. Its soft and it covers oder fairly well."

Social Media Interview (Negative Experience; Average Interview)
I applied through a recruiter and the process took 3 weeks - interviewed at Eliassen Group in February 2012.
Interview Details – I was contacted by the internal recruiter and the Chief Marketing Officer. There were a lot of phone calls and constant contact. Both contacts persons were enthusiastic and there were extensive conversations and strategy questions which were met with a high level of interest. I seemed to have a great in-person interview followed by another phone interview.Then there was a "lunch interview", with the CMO and the 2 people on the marketing staff where I was asked for my specific strategy ideas. The lunch was then followed by NOTHING. It was very strange after a high-level of pursuit and contact. I was never contacted as to whether I was still being considered or if they hired someone. Finally I contacted the internal recruiter. He left me a message that they decided not to hire as a full-time position and were now going to find a contract worker. It was very disheartening to be courted so hard, treated to lunch and then no one followed up. The recruiter said he thought the CMO was going to contact me and vice-versa. Just thought it was unprofessional for a "recruiting" business to drop the ball on the recruiting process of an internal candidate.

Islands and Ocean Center
Islands and Ocean Center Review
Islands and Ocean Center provides a wonderful introduction to the Alaska Maritime National Wildlife Refuge. The refuge covers some 3.5 million acres spread across some 2,500 Alaskan islands, from Prince of Wales Island in the south to Barrow in the north. Opened in 2003, this 37,000-square-foot facility with towering windows facing Kachemak Bay is a must-see for anyone interested in wild places—and it's free! A film takes visitors along on a voyage of the Fish and Wildlife Service's research ship, the MV Tiglax. Interactive exhibits detail the birds and marine mammals of the refuge (the largest seabird refuge in America), and one room even re-creates the noisy sounds and pungent smells of a bird rookery. In summer, guided bird-watching treks and beach walks are offered.

Arkansas Democrat-Gazette

The comedy tends to the smirk-inducing rather than the laugh-out-loud, and the second half wanders somewhat, but Zelig is a strong contender for Allen's most fascinating film.

Combustible Celluloid
Woody Allen's Zelig (1983) perfected the fake documentary a year before This Is Spinal Tap.
Lampooning documentary tradition by structuring the entire film as a meticulously crafted bogus docu, Woody Allen tackles some serious stuff en route
Absurd and fascinating at the same time.

Allen is one of the most recognizable, and least protean, performers.... [P]erhaps ... someone else as Zelig ... could have got the idea across without the blandly explicit dialogue and brought more dimensions to the role, besides.

Looking Back
By Georgie Bright Kunkel
A new year, 2014, is upon us. No better time than now to contemplate the life we have lived and learn from our past. They say that if one does not learn from one's mistakes one is sure to repeat them. But we no longer have a village sage to assist us in making decisions. The elders of the village community have been replaced by the gurus on the internet, some making sense and others spewing out garbage. To sort the wheat from the chaff, as they used to say, is a problem in our information society. Our lives are filled with advertising to convince us to buy this and buy that in order to be slimmer,
healthier, happier or whatever. Even medications that are riddled with side effects are advertised by young vigorous people on the screen who seem to have no fear of anything as the music lulls us away from the voice announcing the dangers of using this medication. Even though doctors prescribe, the medication costs more because it is advertised to the consumer on TV who is supposed to ask the doctor for a prescription.
My mother feared medicine and would never take any until she was told by her physician that she had high blood pressure. She went to the doctor for her checkup and he wondered why her blood pressure was still so high. He discovered that she was cutting all the pills in half because she feared taking them. I inherited this fear of overmedicating myself. I didn't even start drinking or smoking because I didn't want to become addicted. Just think how much money I have saved by not taking any medication except a .81 aspirin and never buying liquor or cigarettes. I never buy clothes retail. I never buy frozen pre-prepared meals. I never expect to buy another car. I never fly around the world anymore. My entertainment is going to the Open Mike comedy and Open Mike poetry which doesn't cost me anything because I perform.
What do I see looking back at my life? They say everything happens for a reason so whatever I did must have prepared me for the next phase of my life. I hope that I have kept my promise never to gossip and never to over indulge in any way. Not sure that my chocolate craze counts. And I am taking my own advice in making new friends as my old friends disappear from the earth. And when someone says, "You don't look a day over 75." I take it as a compliment. I once sang the mother role in Amahl and the Night visitors when I was in my forties and got away with it.
I play school teacher by telling stories to school children whenever I am asked. And I am breaking the mold which once shaped older women to sit on the sidelines. Don't ever write me off, you hear? I am not only looking back but looking forward to all the things I haven't yet accomplished. I am getting messages from my younger friends that they look to me for being a model of active aging. That's what every age is supposed to do, be a beacon for anyone younger. Don't be seduced by the airbrushed pictures in magazines of perfect beauty or the TV stars with a bevy of servants preparing them to face the camera. Being real is often under rated in our beauty culture.
So looking back I find that everything that I thought or did was preparing me for the next phase in my life. I am not finished even yet. There is much more to experience and much more to accomplish. Fortunately, only the memories that are important to my future remain clear to me. The other memories have faded away to be replaced by newer experiences. Life continues to amaze me and I love it.

New Leek CSOB manager Dan Hyde is wasting no time preparing for new season
Posted: May 14, 2014|
NEW Leek CSOB manager Dan Hyde has wasted no time in making preparations for the new season.
He has appointed his brother, Andrew as assistant first team manager.
Dan said: "I am delighted that Andy has agreed to join the club as he is obviously someone I trust and someone who knows how to get the best out of players.
"I feel it is important to get people in place off the field as soon as possible as there is still a lot of work to be done.
"I will be speaking to other people in the next two weeks and hope to have everyone in place within the next month."
Andy said: "This is a fresh opportunity and one which I will relish.
"It's a similar challenge to that on joining Elmo's over five years ago when we had to start from the bottom and build and galvanise a playing squad."
Dan, aged 30, who initially temporarily shared the manager's role after Brett Barlow resigned, is a former Old Boys captain.
He made 250 first team appearances after graduating through the club's youth ranks.
The Old Boys were facing signing off from the North West Counties League bottom of Division One, following a run of 14 defeats and a draw in 15 matches.
But a new committee was formed last month, with former players Steve Rutter and John Hyde – Dan and Andrew's father – taking over the positions of chairman and vice-chairman.
Three wins and a draw secured in the first team's last eight games lifted the Old Boys into a slightly more respectable finishing position in the league table.

The Pens and the Flyers. No, I'm not talking about the final game of the season tomorrow…I'm all about the playoffs. Our Pens will meet the hated interstate rivals in the first round of the 2012 NHL Playoffs, and there might not be a more highly anticipated matchup out there. Talbot. Double J. Peter Laviolette's stupid insanity. Cindy Crysberries Sucks. The whole deal.
I know you want to see this live and in person, so I just wanted to remind you that you can get some pretty fantastically-priced tickets through PSAMP and my friends at TiqIQ. We've been doing this for awhile now, but the playoffs are a whole different animal. So go here and check out what we have in stock for this opening round clash.
It's the playoffs, why are you still reading this when you could be getting tickets and then insulting your friends with the great deal that you got and they didn't. Or you can tell them about this as well and share the love. I would say 'brotherly love' but Philadelphia sucks.
Go Pens.

Demolition makes way for SMH bed tower
Date: April 12, 2010
by: Robin Roy | City Editor
Sarasota Memorial Hospital is calling today D-Day – as in demolition day. Today crews began tearing down the hospital's old energy center to pave the way for work to begin on its new bed tower.
The nine-floor tower is part of a $250 million campus-improvement plan. It will house private patient rooms, labor and delivery suites, a state-of-the-art intensive care nursery and new orthopedic, medical and surgical units.
The improvements will replace 1950s-era patient rooms in the oldest wings of the hospital.
Sarasota Memorial President and CEO Gwen MacKenzie said she's excited for see the coming changes.
"People have been waiting for this for a long time," she said.
Construction is expected to last up to three years to complete.
