i love working with jason and danielle moskal, this is my fourth project with them!
needless to say, we work very well together...
they are adding a sunroom onto their house and danielle asked if i would be willing to put a design together for them. of course i would!
the new room measures 16' by 21'
the goals:
maximize seating for lounging and tv watching
dining area for 6
super kid friendly
the moskal's home has a very calming palette of grays, seafoam green/blue and gold.
danielle wanted to carry the theme outside, but have a pop color to liven things up.
i already had an idea in mind; a palette of gray, aqua and orange.
i knew the absolute perfect fabric to embody the look i was going for.
this amazing botanical from Osborne & Little
the fabric scheme came together effortlessly; take a look at the supporting fabrics.
rugs will define the 'lounge' and 'dining' zones. same pattern, different sizes
danielle loves the weathered gray furniture look.
i love this dining table and similarly hued coffee table.
how does it all look together? check out the design board...
construction started this week and completion is scheduled for may;
can't wait to see this one installed. need help with an outdoor space, give us a call!

Urban marketing company Swagger Wireless has a new way to entertain concertgoers before a show starts: in-venue text messaging. The new initiative, Holla at Ya Boyz, sets up a projection screen onstage 30 minutes prior to show time; the screen displays text messages sent to a special advertised number. Messages cost 99 cents, with billing done through ThumbPlay, a mobile content technology developer. Swagger says more than 100,000 messages were sent when Jay-Z used Holla at Ya Boyz on his last tour. Alicia Keys is expected to feature it on her tour slated to kick off in February.

This article reports on the mobile marketing campaign of the Pitcher & Piano bar group to increase customer loyalty in Great Britain in December 2004. The company is using Short Messaging Service to entice customers to return regularly, with a 12-week three-phase festive initiative also designed to boost visitor members at quieter times of the season. Phase one will target existing customers in Pitcher & Piano venues over the country, with a text-to-win holiday competition. Entrants will then be sent a thank-you text, which will flag up a microsite due to go live in the next two weeks. The microsite will further push Short Messaging Service registrations, and ask the user a series of questions regarding their socialising habits-enabling local bar managers to target them with relevant future offers. Another phase sees five bars in London, Newcastle, Birmingham, Bristol and Richmond targeted in the New Year. Mobile marketing agency Mindmatics is behind the campaign.

Abstract: The article presents the information that the traditional 411 Service is facing a new threat. Rather than dialing 411 from one's cell phone to look up a number or find an address, one could try two new short message service (SMS) programs that are offering free searches. One has to send a text query using SMS on a cell phone and a text reply will provide address and phone number listings. This service can amount to significant savings for people paying $1.25 to call 411. On many wireless plans, SMS services are essentially free. The king of search engines Google Inc. has launched the most extensive SMS 411 service called Google SMS. It provides addresses, phone numbers and restaurant listings. Shoppers can use this service to find out product prices, wordsmiths can look up definitions and diners can calculate tips. Synfonic also offers its own free 411 SMS service. One has to send the state and business name to 650-430-7183 and Synfonic will return a text message with the address and phone number. It can also suggest similar businesses nearby. www.synfonic.com

April 1, 2009 - A message for the people of the North Country
[The following is a message written to the people of the North Country from an alien being, living in the future on another planet. The message was written on April 1, 2014, and was received at the PARC offices this morning.]
"To the people of Plattsburgh and Clinton County, good morning. I used to be a resident of your fine community, but I was banished back to my home planet by some very persistent men dressed in black suits. I know that many of you are concerned about the troubling economic times, but since I live at a time considered to be 5 years into your future, I can see that things didn't get so bad. To help you remain calm and upbeat, I will recite for you some of the key events that will happen over your next 5 years so that you may see for yourself that the bad times eventually got better. (I am doing this from memory and I apologize for any lapses, misspellings, or misquotes.)
Let's start with Sports:
1. Manny Ramirez developed a nasty hangnail, and had to take most of the 2009 season off. Out of a gesture of good will, Manny paid back the Dodgers over $20 million of his contract for his inability to play that year, pocketing the balance of $40 million. In 2010, George Steinbrenner of the Yankees (who finished last in the American League in '09 despite leading the league in payroll with $2.7 billion) signed Manny to a contract of $1,000,000 per game. Manny averaged only 30 games per year with the Yankees over the next 4 years and hit a total of 11 home runs. He claimed that Alex Rodriguez' cousin gave him the wrong juice. The Yankees, feeling the economic pinch, applied for and received federal bailout money under the TARP program. In 2011, the Yankees played so badly that the fans at home games at the new Yankee Stadium would holler "Roses are red, needles are sharp; forget the steroids, bring out the tarp".
2. Tiger Woods won 9 Majors in a row over a 3-year span; this, after having the famous "tie-one-arm-behind my-back-surgery" wherein his right arm was surgically attached to his back. Tiger's preeminence in the world of professional golf was so overwhelming that he legally changed his name to "Lefty", which brought cries of "unfair" and "copy-cat" from Phil Mickelson, whose only tournament win during that period was the Genesee Open in Enosburg Falls, Vermont.
3. March Madness was changed to May Madness by the NCAA in all of its marketing literature after changes in post-season scheduling allowed entry of 256 teams into the NCAA basketball tournament. An NCAA spokesperson, speaking on condition of anonymity, confirmed that the increase from 64 teams to 256 teams was purely "...a money-seeking venture..." by the NCAA who charges each team $10,000 to enter the tournament. Television revenue for the 3-month long tournament is expected to meet or exceed the $1 trillion in stimulus funds recently offered to the Big Three TV networks. An additional revenue generator, introduced by the NCAA in 2014, is the dribble meter. Basketballs now are outfitted with a dust-particle-sized chip that allows NCAA officials to monitor the total number of dribbles each team makes during the course of the game. The total number of dribbles is electronically tracked and each competing school is taxed based on the total dribbles through the NCAA's new EZ-Bounce administration, a partnership with Google Earth Inc.
1. The Honorable Don Kasprzak won reelection as Mayor of the City of Plattsburgh in 2010 in a landslide over his Democratic opponent.
2. President Barack Obama lost his bid for reelection in 2012 in a landslide, but since the White House under his direction had taken over the Census Bureau and the Board of Elections, his staff found that 30% of those voting against him had illegally registered and therefore were ineligible to vote. As a result of the recount, Mr. Obama declared himself the winner and remains President today.
3. The Car-Bar-Tar-Czar has formally taken office. Professor Eugene C. Florbitz of Eugene, Oregon has been appointed the first-ever over-seer of the combined offices of the Automobile Advisory Panel, the Tavern Advisory Panel, and the Asphalt Advisory Panel. In an effort to save money, the Obama Administration announced the consolidation of these important agencies into one office under the direction of Professor Florbitz, beginning in 2014. An avowed bicyclist, tea-totaller, and gravel-road-lover, Professor Florbitz was an obvious choice to head up the new agency. His responsibilities will including drafting, reviewing, passing, and enforcing all legislation and specifications relating to new automobiles, drinking and eating establishments, and pavement for roads and parking areas. Professor Florbitz popularized the memorable slogan, "You can't be called Eugene, if you don't have the U-Gene" during his campaign for the office, referring to his long-abiding love of helping others.
The Arts:
1. John Grisham just finished writing his 75th novel. The last one was about a young lawyer that confronts an unusual client involved in legal intrigue, personal temptations, high-rollers, and money. (Actually, I don't remember...that could have been his first novel, or maybe his tenth, or maybe his 25th, or maybe his 50th.)
2. Bruce Willis just finished acting in his 75th movie. The last one was about a disgruntled cop who plays it close to the line between good and evil, fighting evil when he appears to be good, and tempting good when he appears to be evil, with lots of car-chase scenes, gratuitous violence, and some of the best cursing and swearing ever witnessed on the big screen. (Actually, I don't remember...that could have been his first movie, or maybe his tenth, or maybe his 25th, or maybe his 50th.)
3. Jack Bauer for President. In a new adaptation of the long-running Fox television series, 24, counter-terrorist agent Jack Bauer will in-fact be on duty 24 hours per day. The new show, called Extreme 24, will actually run a full 24 hours per day, filming Jack on the job during the day, at home during the evening, and even as he sleeps. Bauer will fight terrorists in his day job, be a supportive parent and husband at night, and in a new twist, organize a campaign to run for the Presidency of the United States in his spare time. One of the more unbelievable aspects of the 24 series has been Jack's ability to telephone and speak to the President if and as needed. Now, as Jack ascends to the Presidency himself, he will have 24-hour access to the President (himself), his staff, and all the powers of the Presidency. It is rumored, although unconfirmed, that at the start of the 2015 season, Jack will appoint old friend Tony Almeida to be Secretary of Defense, and Bill Buchanan (just back from the dead via a successful cryogenic transformation) as Secretary of State, and Chloe O'Brian as Vice-President. This should make for some great television, and job security for all the Kiefer Sutherland look-alikes out there.
Around Plattsburgh:
1. Global warming was blamed for a reverse anti-temperature inversion which caused snow to fall in the Adirondacks for 14 straight months in 2011 and 2012. Whiteface Mountain enjoyed its best season ever (actually, 2 seasons melded into 1) with a base of over 27 feet. During the same period of time, Lake Champlain froze to a record depth of 6 feet. Unfortunately, the Adirondack Park Agency declared the uncommon amounts of snow and ice to be environmental luxuries and required all skiers and ice-fishermen to obtain special permits so that they could be taxed on a per-use basis. The permits carried bar-coded labels that could be read electronically by the EZ-Tax administration in Albany, a division of Google Earth Inc.
2. The Plattsburgh International Race Track (PIRT) was finally completed at the former Clinton County Airport. The 2.5-mile oval track was formally dedicated as a NASCAR, Indy Car, and Formula One racing facility. In a surprise nuance, the Rhode Island Racing Company, owners and builders of the track, constructed a 50-mile long, 2-lane, straightaway extension that will connect PIRT with the new Montreal International Race Track (MIRT) in downtown Montreal. The simultaneous construction of the 2 racing facilities and the straightaway extension will open the door for the oft-discussed "PIRT-MIRT 1000", a thousand-mile race consisting of 10 round trips between the 2 cities. The main stumbling block at this time is how to handle the border crossings. The current plan includes stopping each race-car each time it comes to the border (from the north or the south), inspecting the compartments of the car for groceries and duty-free items, determining compliance with NASCAR rules, and drug-testing, finger-printing, and retina-scanning the driver. The race is expected to take about 12 days depending on the length of each stop at the border.
3. PARC announced today that it expected to receive its last deed from the U.S. Air Force within the next 30 days. The oft-delayed final deed has been held up for several years pending the Department of Defense's final Signature Of Legality (SOL) plan. PARC was placed in the SOL category late in 2009 after many delays in the deed transfer schedule. You will remember that in the early 2000s, the intention was for PARC to receive the last deed under a transfer mechanism called a Finding Of Suitability for Early Transfer (FOSET). But in 2009, after several starts and stops in the FOSET process, PARC requested and received permission to enter the SOL category. This came with a corresponding change in the transfer mechanism to one called the Finding Of Suitability for a More Or Less Sooner Or Later Transfer (FOSMOLSOLT). PARC has been apprised that it has received top priority for this last deed now that it is SOL. A number of other base closure communities around the country also have been elevated to SOL status. A Defense Department spokesperson, speaking on condition of anonymity, stated that "...at this time all former bases expecting speedy delivery of their final deeds are SOL."
So, my Earthen friends, with the sampling of exciting and unique activities recited above, you can see that the next 5 years will be stimulating and rewarding, to say the least. I urge you, as the old song goes, to "Don't worry, be happy." Remember, 90 out of 100 things that you worry about never happen; 9 out of the remaining 10 are never as bad as you fear; leaving just that 1 in a 100 thing that could possibly be a problem - pretty good odds. Well, good luck and have fun. I hope to get back down there one of these days. Of course, I will be invisible or embedded in the protoplasm of some other living organism so you won't be able to see me anyway. But, I will offer you no harm; my assignment will be to observe and report back to the mother ship about what is going on, and look for unique new ways to render taxes on you humans."

text: By far the quickest Plums run in a while. Maybe because I seem to have got my mojo back after the knee niggle, maybe because it was less off-road than normal (NB - any run with the Plums that goes off-road I class as trail running on Garmin Connect!). A bit cold and damp tonight, nothing like how it has been recently so was out in full length tights, gilet and cap tonight but a cracking run nonetheless.

The Perfect Counterfiet: Spotting The Omega Man's Fake Double Eagle Coins
Even novice coin collectors know that counterfeit coins are a very real threat among numismatics. They know that they've got to inspect collection pieces carefully before they buy them or risk paying big money for coins that that are not real minted pieces and can't be resold as such. Some counterfeit coins, however, can trick even the most seasoned of coin experts -- the Omega Man's Saint Gaudens double eagles being among the most noteworthy of hard-to-spot fakes. Read on to learn who the Omega Man was and why you should be ever-so-cautious of American double eagle coins.
Who Was The Omega Man?
Dubbed the "Omega Man", nobody knows if this person was really a man or woman. Nobody knows where they lived, what they did for work, or at what age their shenanigans began. What is known about this character, however, is that they created some of the finest, most detailed counterfeit pieces to ever invade the numismatic scene. In fact, the Omega Man's 1907 Saint Guadens double eagle knock-offs were so good that they almost passed inspection by the American Numismatic Association Certification Service (ANACS).
What Makes The Double Eagle Counterfeits So Hard To Spot?
The Omega Man's double eagle coins aren't made of cheap metals or on shabby presses. These exquisite pieces are thought to be identical in nearly every single way to real-deal double eagle coins. They have the same metal content, and they're produced using the same multi-strike press techniques that give real double eagle coins their high detail and deep textures. The only thing different about these pieces is that an inconspicuous Greek letter (omega) was placed upon them at their time of creation. This letter, though, can only be seen under magnification and is sometimes scuffed off by dishonest coin dealers in an effort to pass the fakes off as real double eagles.
How Can You Protect Yourself From Purchasing An Omega Man Coin?
The first thing you should know here is that it's not always a bad idea to purchase an Omega Man coin, as long as you know that's what you're buying. The expertise that went into producing these coins does give them some value, so they're considered collection pieces by many numismatics. Real, U.S.-minted double eagle coins are worth nearly $100,000, but the Omega Man's knock-offs will still fetch $1,000 or more. If you find an Omega Man coin in good shape for less than $1,000, you can feel safe in knowing that you probably won't take a loss if you buy it and decide to sell it at any point in the future.
If you find a double eagle coin that's being sold as U.S.-minted, though, then you've really got to take the time to examine the piece. Familiarize yourself with the Greek letter omega. You'll need to examine the coin under a jewelry loupe to spot it if it's on the coin. It's most often found on the eagle's talon, but don't rule out finding it in another spot on the coin. You should also be looking for tiny, concentrated scuff marks where the letter may have been rubbed off in an effort to make the coin appear real.
If you don't have a jewelry loupe, you can craft a high-powered lens on the cheap with a laser pointer, a bobby pin, and your smartphone's camera. Just remove the lens from the laser pointer, place it between the prongs of the bobby pin, and then tape the bobby pin to your phone so that the laser pointer lens is directly over your smartphone lens.
Some counterfeit coins are easy to spot, but others are so well done that even life-long coin collectors drop the ball. Beware the Omega Man and never buy a Saint-Gaudens double eagle coin unless you've first examined it closely under a high-powered lens. For more information about collectible coins, check out the sites of coin dealers near you.

As such wonderful readers I wanted to share with you a very simple thank you note that I created. I used a ribbon label that I downloaded free from Pugly Pixel here. You can get a direct link to this card by clicking here.
I took a screenshot for you above so it isn't quite as clear as the actual. I had to toy with the printing options as I'm not a pro at photoshop or special settings but it took me no time and then I put my card stock back in again to give myself two cards on an 8.5x11. Then what I did was punch a hole in the bottom of the card after I had folded it and tied a piece of string in a small bow (to close it). It ended up very sweet and simple. Remember, since I created this from tools from another source, use this for personal use only. I'm also very happy to be doing a giveaway over at The Lovely Hunter. Check it out if you'd like to win one of my necklaces.
Thanks for saying hello!

My boys eat bean burritos like there is no tomorrow. I used to buy the prepackaged ones in the store but those were lucky to last a day. They aren't that healthy and frankly, I had to find a way to keep burritos in this house without going broke. I moved to store bought canned beans and began making a few dozen at a time, freezing them individually and then throwing them in a baggy. (The secret to getting them to not stick together in one big lump, I discovered the hard way)
I was headed out the door to go buy two more cases of refried beans when I remembered that I had enough dried pintos to feed a small village for a month. Then I decided to investigate canning them for ultimate convenience. For me, convenience reigns high in this house. Followed closely by nutrition and cost. I tried a few recipes but this is the one we like best.
I soaked the pintos overnight, adding more water before I went to bed. In the morning I rinsed them (I highly recommend not reusing the soaking water. I know it has more nutrients, but with teenage boys who are gaseous enough, I just can't take it.)
I filled quart jars with two inches of head space in order to give room for a bit more expansion and all the spices. Before adding water, I threw in spices to each jar.
4Tbsp tomato sauce
2 Tbsp chopped onion
1 tsp taco seasoning
1 tsp paprika
3/4 tsp salt
1/2 tsp cumin
dash black pepper (or white pepper)
1/4 tsp garlic powder
Over that I poured boiling water, topped with hot lids and put in my pressure canner. These MUST be pressure canned and they must not be mashed when you can them. Mashed refrieds are too dense to get hot enough in the center.
Because I didn't hot pack I let them sit in my canner to boil and steam for a good half hour getting nice and hot before I started building pressure. Let them go for 90 minutes at 10 lbs pressure, adjusting for altitude. You can use pints as well, just halve the spices and go for 75 minutes in the canner. I park myself in front of the stove with a good book to pass the time.
When you're ready to use, dump them in a pan, add a bit of water and mash with a potato masher. Add water slowly until you have the perfect consistency.
Each quart will make about a dozen burritos, more if I mix them half and half with meat. These cost next to nothing to make. I calculated it once and I remember that the lid cost more than the entire contents of the jar. So, no burrito shortage at this house!

Both Chris and Candace made our wedding absolutely wonderful! They were great to work with, and completely responsive to what we did and didn't want. The music choices were great, we had people dancing all night. The pictures are so beautiful. Would highly recommend to anyone!
Chris was wonderful to work with! He was very responsive to my phone calls, texts and emails. He always put me at ease if I felt nervous about something during the planning process. He had helpful & fun suggestions for song choices for our ceremony and things to do at our reception. Our guests loved picking a song for their table to get released up to the buffet. They thought that was fun! We heard nothing but great things about Chris from our guests. Everyone said he did a great job with providing great music to dance to! He listened to and played requests our guests had. He even got out on the floor to teach some of the fun interactive dances. He was so personable.
We enjoyed working with Chris. He was easy to work with and went along with and even made our first song more fun when we asked him to "mess up" our first song before we started our dance. He played it off perfectly with having our little niece think she hit a wrong button on his board, and our guests thought the wrong song really started playing on accident. It was so fun! He kept our reception running on time and smoothly. My husband and I are so happy we went with Chris, with C Squared Media. We had a great time at our wedding and thought the price was right! Having a DJ at your wedding doesn't have to cost a fortune to have great service and get what you want. Chris can do so many great things with music and was a great MC. We are extremely happy we had him as our DJ! We are going to see him again at our friends wedding and can't wait to dance at their wedding! Thank you Chris for all of your hard work. We can't thank you enough! Lori and Tom
Chris is a fantastic DJ! He keeps people engaged right away during the reception dinner by having a great dance ice breaker and even leading a line dance! He played songs that got people up on the dance floor all night long. He reads the crowd better than I could have ever asked for! He took care of the entire timeline and kept the flow going without us having to worry at all about what should happen next. We highly recommend Chris for any event you want to have a great time at and not worry about keeping the party going! Thanks Chris!
Chris really made our wedding day super special! He is extremely professional and always kept in touch with us throughout the evening. He made sure all the right songs were played to keep our guests on the dance floor! We were extremely happy with how the whole evening turned out and we have Chris to thank for that!
We had thought about just making a CD and playing it on repeat for our wedding, and boy are we glad we didn't do that! Instead, we found Chris and he was absolutely amazing! He was always available to answer my questions and was always willing to meet us in our neck of the woods. He had an amazing variety of music for all of our guests to enjoy. He had a very reasonable price for us and we were super happy with what we received. He was not only our dj, but he helped me with some of the planning as well. Helped me come up with a schedule for the big day and even though we had a little drama with some of our family at the wedding, he was able to keep that schedule and keep everyone up beat. When we first met Chris, we just knew he was the right guy for our wedding. We were looking for someone with a particular personality and Chris filled the job. I would and still do recommend him for DJ services! 5 out of 5 stars for Chris! Thank you for making our day so special :)

Big Ang: "Reality star" Diagnosed with Stage 4 Brain & Lung Cancer
- Updated: February 5, 2016
Big Ang, whose real name is Angela Raiola, has been battling stage 4 lung and brain cancer. The reality star had a tumor removed from her throat in April of last year, as well as a round of chemotherapy in January.
Big Ang's sister, Janine Detore, broke the news about the reality star's latest diagnosis via GoFundMe, according to a report from the New York Daily News. Detore started the page in an effort to raise funds for Big Ang, 55, to be able to purchase cannabis oil, as chemotherapy — which she started Jan. 5 — is not working for her. The oil, which is used by some cancer patients as an alternative treatment, can cost anywhere from $2,000 to $5,000 per month.
"As you know my sister was diagnosed with stage 4 brain and lung cancer. Chemotherapy was started January 5 th. On January 26th the doctor reviewed her CT scan and informed us that the treatment was not working, and in fact one tumor grew larger and the other tumors had no change," Detore wrote. "We were advised that she would start immunotherapy the following week. Well here we are at the emergency room waiting to see why her breathing is labored and the amount of pain she is having is by far more than she could handle. So I suggested cannabis oil as an alternative. This is why I am putting up this go fund me to try to help my sister to get this oil to help her at least be pain free. Angela cannot function to work anymore. I'm not sure that it will work but I'm praying ."
This is not the first challenge Big Ang has faced with her health. On Dec. 14, it was reported that her throat cancer, which she was diagnosed with in March 2015, had returned. Entertainment Tonight reported that the "Mob Wives" star got the news just months after undergoing two serious surgeries to have a lemon-sized throat tumor removed. The publication reported that Big Ang's battle with cancer would likely be featured on the VH1 reality show's sixth and final season, though nothing was confirmed.
Big Ang opened up about her diagnosis in September, telling People magazine that she quit smoking immediately after being diagnosed. She shared with the publication that it was difficult to give up the vice, which she'd had for a whopping 40 years, but "it's over." The New York native also discussed her throat surgery, admitting to People that if she'd known how difficult it would be to recover after the procedure she would have opted for chemotherapy from the get go.

Drew Hicks
Drew is a graduate of East Carolina University. In 2010 he earned his Bachelor's degree in Construction Management and began working for McDonald York. He has proven his ability to work on a wide range of project sites primarily in the life sciences category. However, the most rewarding project for Drew was State Employees' Credit Union renovation at 1000 Wade Avenue. It was his largest project and he feels as though he gained a friend in SECU and hopes to continue building upon that relationship through future work. His favorite things about working in this industry are solving issues that come up on a daily basis, figuring out solutions to nearly impossible problems, the constant interaction with clients, employees, and subcontractors; and finally, the feeling of relief you get when the final Certificate of Occupancy is received.

"How come Arnold doesn't get a pay cut?" wonders fellow Tenderloiner "Indian Joe" on this little interview at the St Anthony Foundation blog. And although our Governor doesn't accept his salary (which is the highest in the country for a governor), Indian Joe's point is clear: why are those on power always targeting the poor instead of their own backyard?
"Indian Joe" on budget cuts
2 Comments until now
Easy, the rich don't need social services. It's not that they're shitting on the poor willfully, it's that the poor consume many more services on a per capita basis than the middle and upper classes do. So when the budget is cut overall, the poor are hit the hardest.
That said, our budgets are insanely bloated and must be cut regardless of how much revenue we have coming in. The next 4-5 years will be very interesting for California as a whole. Do we stick our heads in the sand as we have for the past 30 years and implode in financial armageddon? Or do we scrap the state constitution, fix our revenue stream, and cut spending?

On Tap: Beers from
Eagle Rock Brewing & Island Brewing
The forecast for this weekend is calling for temperatures in the 90's, possibly even touching the triple-digit mark! To help balance out the heat we have some lighter selections on tap for you — in addition to our air conditioner! Come in, escape the heat, play some pool, and have a pint or two!
Island Blonde: A Kolsch Ale from Island Brewing
Kolsch beers originated in Cologne, Germany, and are traditionally less hoppy than other German pale lagers. They are clean and crisp on the palate and are very smooth and crisp. Island Blonde is an excellent example of the style, and at 4.8% ABV it's easy to enjoy the refreshing blend of well balanced malt and hops again and again.
Located in Carpenteria, Island Brewing is family run and has been brewing since 2001. They've won awards for their beers at both state and national levels, including at the Great American Beer Festival, World Beer Championships, World Beer Cup, and many more!

Manifesto: Belgian Wit from Eagle Rock Brewing
Witbier is a 400-year-old style that died out in the 1950's when the last witbier brewery closed its doors. But, in the late 1960's the style was revived, using the traditional ingredients of water, yeast, hops, coriander, and orange peel. Eagle Rock has continued that tradition of the style, with their own addition of rose petals! Subtly sweet, light body, and a slight tart finish combine for a crisp and refreshing beverage! ABV: 5.7% IBU: 11
About Eagle Rock Brewing:
Established in 2009 by Jeremy Raub, wife Ting Su, and father Steven Raub, Eagle Rock Brewery was the first microbrewery to open its operations in the city of Los Angeles in over 60 years. This family-owned microbrewery is dedicated to the production of artisanal beers using the best ingredients, and to the ongoing development of the beer community in Los Angeles.

Smash Hits – British Fashion Classics
Some things just never go out of style, that classic trench, or well-tailored white shirt for example, or that stylish cashmere knit that's served you for decades and still kept its shape.
And we Brits have something we can be proud of style speaking, as British fashion designers can definitely claim the credit for some major style sensations that have endured throughout the years. From Pringle sweaters to the Punk look, our designers have created some of the most memorable fashion classics the style world has seen.
Among the vast pantheon of style classics out there that British designers have contributed to, there are some some design ideas are so legendary they undoubtedly deserve a special mention. Let's take a look at what these extra special style sensations have been…
Pringle Cashmere Sweater
Scotland has given birth to some pretty impressive inventions, there's the telephone, the television, and not forgetting of course, a wee dram or four of whiskey. Fashion wise too, Scotland has always had plenty to say, with its bold tartans and clansmen's colours, oh and of course Pringle.
Pringle's Scottish heritage can be traced back as far as 1815 when the iconic brand was first founded, and it swiftly became one of the first ever luxury knitwear brands, with its distinctive designs being sought after by eager buyers globally.
The brand's signature cashmere knit was first produced in the 1870's, around the time the company created the unique "intarsia" Argyll design, with which Pringle is synonymous today around the world.
From Hollywood celebs, to pro golfers, a cashmere Pringle sweater is a hallmark of style and quiet luxury, and will go with absolutely anything, whether it's accessorized with a pair of jodhpurs, or thrown casually around your shoulders as you waltz down the red carpet in that premiere worthy dress.
Burberry Trenchcoat
One of Britain's oldest labels, Burberry started out by supplying soldier's uniforms, and manufactured the ground-breaking fabric called Gabardine, a fabric so durable it was utilized in military clothing throughout the nation.
The label's most iconic creation though, is unarguably the iconic Burberry Trench, which first debuted in the 19th century when Thomas Burberry added metal straps and rings to his officer's trench, and an instant design classic was born.
The Burberry Trench has been acclaimed globally, and its worldwide popularity shows no signs of abating, with the classic style being sported proudly by celebs from model Cara Delevigne to HRH Kate Middleton.
Turnbull & Asser Shirt
Established in 1885 Turnbull & Asser are well known for their hallmark tailoring and attention to detail, and have dressed celebrities and royals alike, from Prince Charles to screen hero James Bond.
The flagship shop, located on London's prestigious Jermyn Street, holds a Royal Warrant, but the company's most celebrated design has undoubtedly been its classic tailored shirt design, which has been the preferred choice of stylish politicos and celebs who like to dress smartly for decades.
From Charlie Chaplin to artist Pablo Picasso, and more recently actress Gwyneth Paltrow, Turnbull & Asser's iconic shirt has seemingly never been out of the style spotlight, and the label has also made its mark overseas, with its designs sold in illustrious stores such as Barneys, and the launch of the New York flagship store in 1997.
Mini Skirt
The miniskirt's short and cheeky style literally revolutionised the fashion world when it first debuted in 1966. British designer Mary Quant began dressing her models in the thigh skimming design, which sent shockwaves throughout the fashion world and became an instant British style smash practically overnight.
The mini achieved global coverage, appearing on the front of acclaimed style mags from Vogue to Nova, and was sported by uber models Jean Shrimpton and Twiggy, becoming an essential part of their waifish, gamine look.
Today the mini skirt is a go to classic look that's never been out of style since its introduction in the 60's, and the short length is worn by everyone brave enough to get their pins out all over the globe, from WAGS on a night out to Hollywood actresses on the red carpet.
Punk style was made popular in Britain by Vivenne Westwood and Malcom McLaren, who opened the shop SEX, in Chelsea, selling the pair's avant garde designs as well as vinyl showcasing bands like the Sex Pistols, which McLaren helped put together.
The clothes McLaren and Westwood sold were in direct contrast to the glossy glam rock look popular in the seventies, the new style featured slogan t-shirts designed to shock, bondage elements, such as straps and leather, tough bovver boots, tattoos, and gritty styling.
Punk soon exploded on the scene as a major trend, making a unique global phenomenon and McLaren and Westwood famous, with everyone from teacher's daughters to rock stars soon adopting the look.
Even today, elements of the punk look are heavily borrowed by mainstream artists like Pink and Jessie J, and the style is still a major street trend, with variations of punk becoming popular every now and then, such as the heavily pierced and tattooed alt rock look, with its haphazard styling elements and colour clashes.
So do you agree with these British style sensations, maybe we've missed something out?
Tis the season to be stylish (and warm)!
It's that time of year again. The time when the nights start to draw in and the days grow colder, not cold enough to warrant a full on Artic style cover up but cold enough to make you shiver if you're not wrapped up properly.
Transitional time, when autumn meets winter around early November and the two shake hands for a brief moment, is the time our minds begin to turn to the often stressful task of Christmas shopping and the looming festive season, but we should also give half a mind to our sartorial choices as it can be tricky to dress right during the crossover period.
It's definitely far too cold for that lightweight linen summer jacket, but it's not quite warranting bringing out that faux fur-lined Parka yet. Le sigh. Mr Guy Fawkes didn't have to worry about such fashion difficulties, well at least not after he had a nice toasty bonfire underneath him.
Speaking of which, Fireworks Night marks the ushering in of that time when a cup of steaming hot chocolate topped with whipped cream and cinnamon sprinkles starts to sound like the best idea ever, but it's also the time we crack open our sweater drawers and examine whether or not those moth eaten sloppy joes will be viable again this year.
But there's no excuse for trotting out the same old tired fashion choices, we Brits have a lot of experience with dressing for bad weather, and as a result Brit designers are renowned for offering up some of the most stylish and iconic transitional season fashion to be found globally. Think comfy Pringle sweaters, Burberry Trenchcoats, Barbour jackets, and Hunter wellies, then toss in a wacky Zandra Rhodes print overlong Dr Who style scarf for good measure.
November can be an unpredictable month, with weather ranging from the fairly mild to full on downpours and freezing winds from one day to the next. If you're going to be attending a Fireworks Night event outdoors this year, why not wrap up warm in a chunky knit arran sweater, the Arran knit sweater being yet another Brit design classic of course.
When Guido Fawkes was discovered under the Houses Of Parliament with enough gun powder to blow up an army, the people celebrated saving the political establishment with wild parties in the street and much rejoicing, burning effigies of Mr Fawkes on bonfires.
And while we might not quite have so much enthusiasm for today's political elite, the tradition still lingers, with the 5th of November seeing more people turn out to watch rockets, Roman Candles, and Catherine Wheels than most other outdoor events see on these shores all year round.
A chilly spell doesn't have to mean sloppy dressing though, especially with the myriad of design choices currently available for snappy dressing during the cold snap. Now, no matter what your style. turn the cold weather to your advantage by investing in some quality knitwear that will keep you both snug and stylish.
Whether your style epitomizes laidback cool, you adore the vintage look, or you prefer to dress up rather than down with more tailored knits, our massive pool of home-grown design talent ensures there's something for everyone.
For something truly innovative this season, try out some of the exciting new recycled or ethically sourced knits that are slowly beginning to be seen on the shelves of British stores both offline and online.
Take it from us, eco fashion is set to be one of the big trends of 2015, so get a sartorial jump-start by warming up to ethical style during the transitional period, before the trend becomes huge fashion news next year. And while you're about it, why not take the hassle out of some of that Christmas shopping and avoid the crush by snapping up some on trend eco fashion online, both as a stylish treat for yourself, and for the perfect gift for someone special?
Frighteningly Fashionable Britain
Halloween and Gothic style go together like a chilly night and a hot toddy, and throughout the years both have had a major impact on the direction of British fashion. From Poe's spine chillingly creepy tales of ghoulishness, to 1980's goth rockers Siouxie and the Banshees, those influenced by the dark side have found a seemingly untapped well of inspiration on UK shores.
With its roots in the ancient Celtic festival of the dead, Samhain, where the deceased were thought to be able to communicate with the living for one night, Halloween got it's official moniker in 601 AD, when Pope Gregory renamed it in an attempt to put a Christian spin on a historical tradition.
This piece of ancient PR seems to have paid off though, as in some form or another we've celebrated the festival in Britain ever since, with traditions like apple bobbing having their roots as far back as the 1400's!
But both Gothic style and Halloween didn't find their kismet until the 19th century, when the master of the macabre Edgar Allen Poe came along to pen tales that would send a shiver along the spine of even the most hardened horror buff.
Poe was the undisputed king of darkness, and it seems he was something of a fan of original gothic style too, as from architecture to clothing, his writing is chock full of detailed references to the darkly beautiful.
Poe likely took his influence from his surroundings, as Britain was undergoing a big Gothic Revival during his lifetime, with buildings heavily referencing original medieval gothic architecture springing up all over the place, such as the striking Houses of Parliament and the beautiful St Pancreas station.
Throughout the years following Poe's death, from the damson coloured vampy lips of silent screen vamp Theda Bara, to the haunting lyrics of aloof crooner Nico from the Velvet Underground, there were numerous goth inspired influences to satiate our craving for the dark side. But the unofficial date of the origin of modern British Goth style as we know it wouldn't occur until 1979, when Bauhaus released their hugely influential single Bela Lugosi's Dead.
Piggybacking Bahaus's influence, Goth Rockers Siouxie and the Banshees further revolutionized the British music industry, creating a whole new genre of alternative music that was dubbed "gothic rock" by music critics at the time. The genre swiftly became popular and its rapidly swelling numbers of followers soon developed their own unique fashion style, influenced by the ethereal lyrics and dark cadences of the music they listened too.
Soon everyone and his black cat seemed to be sporting purple and black striped tights, a black velvet blazer, heavy black eyeliner and a head full of backcombed jet black hair that would make Cher envious, and that was just the guys!
But all jokes aside, the enthusiasm for all things Goth in the 80's saw things previously considered taboo being readily adopted by the mainstream. Bisexual experimentation became almost the norm, and a more androgynous style of dressing became popular too, with embellishments like eyeliner and long hair on men seen as much more readily acceptable.
Since then, though Gothic fashion may not quite ever have reached the heady peaks of its 1980's heyday, it's continued to mutate and thrive, and the birth of the famous annual Whitby Gothic Festival in North Yorkshire in 1994 only serves to give testament to the enduring popularity of gothic style as well as the British interest in all things macabre!
Whitby, the place where British gothic legend Bram Stoker penned the genre's quintessential tale, Dracula, sees thousands of elaborately dressed goths descend on the town every year, to pay an annual pilgrimage to the man, who along with Poe, is often cited as the father of British Gothic horror fiction.
Since Poe and Stoker's time, things seem to have quite fittingly gone full circle, with modern-day British Goths in 2014 now sourcing style inspiration from the original Victorian fashions first made popular during the Gothic Revival period of 1830-1900.
The high-necked black lace pussy blow blouses, corsets, long full skirts and velvet chokers that typify this branch of Gothic style, were initially worn in Britain more than a century ago, and are now being sported on our streets today, undisputedly proving the old adage true that great style never goes out of fashion.
Five Brit trends rocking the fashion world in 2014
British style has always been at the forefront of fashion, but lately, to look at media coverage, it almost seems like our goal is to achieve world style domination with the sheer amount of Brit inspired trends and stylish British celebs out there right now.
From Cara D to the Dandy revival right now the British fashion scene has never been so hot. Let's take a look at the five top trends currently rocking the style scene in 2014.
Tomboy inspired casual cool
The trend for uber casual as the ultimate badge of fashion cool has been driven by the popularity of celeb model/ actress/ it girls such as Cara Delavigne, Alexa Chung et al. These girls and their laid back, rocked up, I just threw this on then borrowed my boyfriend's sloppy joe kind of style is currently setting style mavens and fashion editors abuzz, and has spawned millions of copycats throughout the globe.
The trend for casual cool is now so popular Hollywood celebs have got in on the act, and are rocking the grungy look, due in no small part to all the global coverage given by eminent fashionista bibles such as US Vogue and iD magazine that celebrate the style of Ms Delavigne and her pals.
Dapper Dandies
Traditional tailoring is back in style big time, you only have to look at dapper dandies David Beckham and uber male model David Gandy to see that getting suited and booted has never been more on trend.
Savile Row style is now being sported by everyone from actors George Clooney and Ryan Gosling, to Olympic cycling hero Bradley Wiggins, and the demand for the dapper look is so firmly back in fashion that traditional Brit gentleman's outfitters are reporting a huge upswing in sales of bespoke tailoring, and dandyish accessories like cravats and cuff links.
Hipster happening
Love it or hate it hipster style is definitely here to stay. The often debated style is still a huge trend for men in 2014, with celeb hipsters Nik Grimshaw and Russell Brand sporting their trademark drainpipe denims, beanies, grungy boots, and skinny ties.
Though it had its origins in arty East London districts Shoreditch and Dalston, the looks now gone global with Hollywood actors like Jared Leto and Johnny Depp going all hipsterish and adopting a bit of London indie style, despite the vast amounts of negative criticism the trend's attracted from those opposed to all things hipster.
Urban trends
London's always been a huge player in the urban music scene, and this, combined with the city's status as a capital of style is what has enabled the Brit urban scene to really influence fashion and music on the global stage.
Stylish acts like Tine Temper, Dizzee Rascal, Rita Ora, and Emili Sande, have long set the stage for Brit world domination within the urban music scene. But London's special brand of street style has followed hot on its heels (or Nike Air Jordan trainers) and is now influencing the world, due to the sheer number of fashion bloggers and street style photographers capturing the look, and bringing it to the attention of style watchers throughout the globe.
Vintage sweetheart
The lifestyle trend that has seen us move away from mass production and demand more authentic and ethical goods has bled into the sartorial arena too, with the revival of retro styles inspired by the 40's and 50's.
British WW2 1940'sweetheart fashion has been seen on everyone from Kelly Osbourne to Katy Perry, and retro style shows no sign of slowing down the pace in 2014, with a proliferation of homegrown Brit retro labels like Tara Starlet and Lindy Bop making it affordable to create the perfect retro look.
Purchases of both vintage inspired clothing and genuine authentic pieces from the 40's and 50's eras are soaring, as more and more style conscious women want to take up the trend and don a little bit of vintage glamour for themselves and look fabulous and original.
And as we all become more eco-aware, genuine vintage clothing not only helps to create a glamorous look that most modern clothing could never achieve, but it also seems to make more and more sense, after all why waste something that you can reuse again?
Do you agree, or disagree with our picks for the Brit fashions trends for 2014, maybe we've missed something you think has made more of impact this year, let us know in the comments!
Home spun style – how British Fashion changed the world!
Being British we're used to being quite self-effacing types who typically downplay our own greatness, but when it comes to fashion, there's no doubt that through the decades Britain has shaped the style world in a major way.
Take the mini skirt for example. Invented in the 60's by iconic British fashion designer Mary Quant, the mini came to embody the spirit of 1960's London and was subsequently adopted by style conscious citizens throughout the world.
At the time the mini skirt was cheeky, a little bit shocking, and was considered totally edgy and fresh, which is why it became the skirt of choice for the hordes of fashion conscious women prowling up and down the length of the heart of Swinging London, Carnaby Street.
But British fashion had been influencing and shaping the sartorial world decades before the 1960's. Did you know that the man universally considered to be the father of haute couture was actually a Brit who came from Lincolnshire, who worked in the drapery shops of London before he moved to Paris to open his salon?
In his day, Charles Worth was an absolute fashion behemoth, and was so revered he even dressed royals such as France's Empress Eugenie, not to mention famous society beauties of the time such as actress Sarah Bernhardt, and uber courtesan Cora Pearl. Women flocked to him from around the world to be draped in his expertly cut designs, and to this day he remains an eternal fashion icon, remembered throughout the world for his tailoring and use of luxurious fabrics.
It's not just items of clothing that has put Britain firmly on the fashion map either – we invented mass production – essentially paving the way for every retail outlet from Primark to Prada to hawk their wares. The Spinning Jenny, which totally revolutionized the clothing production industry, made producing large volumes of fabric possible, and it was invented by a British carpenter called James Hargreaves.
The device, named after Hargreaves daughter, was so successful it became one of the key instruments behind the Industrial Revolution, and in fact is the reason why the high street fashion industry that exists today is in existence at all!
And let's not forget that quintessential fashion staple – black. The trend for the monochromatic shade that's so vital to any self-respecting fashionista, and is found making up a large part of the wardrobes of the style conscious throughout the globe, actually started with one of our own – good old Queen Victoria.
Though typically when we think of black, we think of Coco Chanel, who popularised the Little Black Dress, the shade first became en vogue after the death of Prince Albert, when Victoria took to wearing all black.
Before Queen Vic went back to black, practically no one wore the shade apart from widows in mourning and members of the clergy, but afterwards everyone from pauper to princess was kitted out in all black garb complete with matching jet accessories. It's probably one of the biggest influences Britain has ever had on the fashion world, and it's a trend that continues today, though it often goes uncredited.
British fashion designers hold a major sway in the global fashion scene and are praised throughout the world for their excellence, innovation, and creative expertise. From the edgy and boundary pushing late Alexander McQueen, to the eccentric surprise of Vivienne Westwood, right through to the eco-conscious tailored cool of Stella McCartney, all of them hold the fashion world in thrall with their unique and highly wearable designs.
There's no doubt that in the future British fashion will be one of the front-runners in setting new style trends, as from producing exciting new ethical fashion to creating cool and edgy street wear, Brits continue to lead the way, blazing new trails in the sartorial stakes and continuing a trend that's gone on for centuries.
How do you see British fashion shaping the future, do you see Britain continuing to set new trends or perhaps you think the opposite and you feel Britain has lost it's creative fashion heart? Let us know in the comments below!

She is a self proclaimed book worm and he is musician that can't love her more.
They met back in 2006, she was selling cellphones in a supermarket and he was cashier.
One day he found a flyer from her work with her number, he took a chance, and in fact, it was her. They texted back and forth all night long. They saw each other from time to time, but college took a lot of time from both.
They reconnected again in 2011, but then he told her he wanted something more steady.
Although she was the one who asked him to be his boyfriend, she was the one to lay the first kiss, and the first to say "I love you".
Then on December 2013, right in the middle of the Disney parade, he got on one knee and asked her to share their lives forever.
Of course she said yes. Did you like the pictures? Please go to my fan page: https://www.facebook.com/pages/HC-Foto-Servicio-Profesional-de-Fotografia/86298734355. My twitter & Instagram @hcfoto. For quotes, information or asking me to ride a new mountain bike trail, use the "contact us" icon.

I attempted to download a file (43.hmi demo) to a nextion 4.3 via a USB-to-serial adapter connected to the display. The download utility informed that a firmware upgrade would be done. The correct port was selected at 115Kbaud and the download started. It then stopped at 1% with 36864 bytes transferred and got stuck there even after waiting several minutes. The nextion editor and downloader windows would not close and had to be killed in the task manager. Now when I power the nextion display, its shows "DATA ERROR". Help!
Don't worry about that, maybe you just destroy the boot-loader of the Nextion so it can not boot right. You can not use the USB-Serial to upload any project now , so try using the SD card to upload the file. After that your Nextion boot-loader will back. And please make sure that your file is smaller than the Nextion 4.3" Flash size.
Great! Worked as expected. What is the "maximum flash size"??
I tried to upload Example 4.3 project to Nextion 4.3 using SD Card. (First, I delete original 43.tft, then change "Text&Button" to "Text+Button" so I can observe change.) After compile, 43.tft copied to SD card. It is only file on SD card. Size is 2.2MB. Now, try to update, but only "SD Card Update....." on the Nextion, nothing is happening. How can I upload to Nextion?
SD card and Flash use the same bus. Some low quality SD card will have impact on the accuracy of the data.
Please use another SD card and have a try.
The Nextion Editor will take care of the file size;
The TFT itself will check the file size in SD card before upload to Flash as well.
Nextion 2.4 (320x240) working on power up show default 'Welcome to use Nextion Editor' screen
All functions, impressed.
I attempted to load my first Nextion Editor compiled file to the Nextion 2.4 via the SD card.
Nextion recognised the SD card then went through a % upload to 100%
It then gave the message 'Upload Failed...'
I now only receive a 'blank white screen' and it makes no attempt to upload from the SD card even with the Example tft file.
How do I reset or gain control back?
Me too, your support is too slow, you guys should release manual ASAP!!!!
I have the same problem
If Nextion display can not be downloaded HMI file/TFT file or can not be connected or bricked,
the general way is :
1. Built an empty HMI file and compile.Using the latest version.
2. Copy the TFT file into your SD card.(Where to find the file:Nextion editor→File→Open built folder)
3. Insert the SD cart ,power on Nextion display(5V&GND)
4. Normally,the boot-loader will be back.Then you can try to connetct Nextion display to your computer.
5. If all above are helpless,please add a new ticket to ITEAD Support.TKS.
What is an empty hmi file?
i tried this but it didnt work and therefore added a new ticket.
Sorry didn't work for me either.
Still looking at a blank white screen
