The New England Revolution allowed a league leading 50 goals in the 2010 Major League Soccer season, and had a minus-18 in goal differential. Injuries plagued the team, and Steve Nicol shifted the squad almost every game, trying to find the perfect fit. It proved especially difficult for a team without a true identity or a true goalscorer, and a battered and bruised bunch playing out of position because there just weren't enough bodies left on the bench.
At 9-16-5 (31 points) the Revolution missed out on the MLS Cup Playoffs for the first time in nine years, and it became clear in the Revolution's 3-0 loss to the New York Red Bulls in the last game of the season that New England needed to make some big moves, starting with the MLS SuperDraft.
With the sixth pick in the draft, the Revolution selected A.J. Soares, a 22-year-old central defender from the University of California.
Soares approached the podium and spoke, his grey tailored suit and California tan showed a man ready to move on to the next level. His maturity shined as he veered from the norm and excluded praise for a girlfriend and all the sappy "heartfelt thanks." Soares approached the stand and thanked his coaches and his parents, the people who got him to the podium, to the next level – to the New England Revolution with the sixth pick in the 2011 SuperDraft.
Maturity has been one of Soares' biggest assets. After playing 11 years of soccer with Surf club he committed to the University of California Berkley.
Kevin Grimes, Cal's coach, knew after meeting with Soares during an unofficial visit in his junior year of high school that the young man was well beyond his years; a player worthy of a coveted scholarship.
"You never know when you get all your freshman recruits in if they're going to pan out for you either immediately or in the course of their four years at the school. The one thing that gives you a little indication that they are going to turn out for you to be a very good player is when we get to meet them in person and get a sense of their personality and maturity," says Grimes. "And A.J. had great personality. His maturity level was beyond his years. From that standpoint, you knew you had a special person."
Soares became a four year starter at Cal and captained the Golden Bears in his senior year. Coaches and journalists took notice of his maturity and growth in college, naming him to the 2010 NSCAA First-Team All-America and the Pac-10 Player of the Year. At the end of his junior year, just one season ago, the MLS took notice and almost signed Soares to a Generation Adidas contract.
"He was recruited as a junior to potentially be a Generation Adidas player, so we almost lost him in his junior year to the GA process. At the end of the day he was on a short list of players and he was probably the last guy they didn't sign as a GA after his junior year," said Grimes. "Not only me, but also MLS coaches and experts knew that as a junior he was ready to go to the next stage."
A.J. has been preparing for the next stage ever since he was a kid. Watching his older brother Steven play soccer for Surf inspired him to start kicking about. He used to watch and kick the ball around on the sidelines while Steven played. He tried out for the team at 6, but didn't earn a place just yet. He had to wait another year. Soares jumped into the team as an attacking midfielder playing through the center of the field, like his older brother. A.J. played 11 years with the club, growing and developing into one of its best.
A Step Up
While playing for Surf, Soares was scouted by Anthony Bruce of Southern California's Olympic Development Program (ODP). Bruce was asked by former U.S. Men's National Team coach Steve Sampson, then Cal South's director, to watch Soares play. Sampson had seen Soares' team play and was impressed with the midfield, but he wanted Bruce's input before sending the invite.
"When he was 12 years old I first saw him. Steve Sampson, who was my boss at Cal South, was the director of Cal South and the ODP program and he watched his [A.J.'s] team play and really liked him and asked me to have a look at him," says Bruce. "I really liked a lot of the team, but AJ was an attacking center midfielder and in a team that was technically very good he stood out."
Bruce asked Soares to try out for the 1988 team — teams are broken into the years players were born. Soares made one of the two teams from southern California. Bruce was asked to coach one of the teams. It just so happened the team turned out to be the same one Soares got picked to play on. The two would work together for the next seven years off and on.
Sampson decided on two teams to go to the regional camp in Oregon. That meant 36 of the best players from southern California would play for a shot at the national championship. Soares was one of the lucky 36 players.
"That team won the national championship. We beat Wisconsin 7-0 in the final. A.J. was on that team," said Bruce. "Nine of the starting 11 were in residency in Florida. A.J. was never in residency, but he was certainly good enough. When you look at it, nine were in residency and seven went to Peru for the Under-17 World Cup from that Cal South team. He was in good company."
Soares had to move out of his comfort zone while playing for the ODP team. With the majority of players being center midfielders, A.J. had to find a new place to play. Bruce pushed A.J. out on the wing and helped instill a new part to Soares' evolving game: the ability to play the killer long ball over or through the defense.
Unlikely comparison
Soares grew up a fan of David Beckham during his Manchester United and Real Madrid days. He went bought VHS tapes of Beckham and other players and try imitate them. Bruce helped A.J. develop a part of Beckham's game that has long been his best attribute: the long ball and the ability to shift the flow of a game with one pass.
"Kids from southern California who play on nice fields 12 months out of the year have a tendency to just play short passes because we have the conditions here. We don't have the East Coast or northern California type weather where the fields get really muddy, so there is no need for us to play a longer ball," says Bruce, who learned to play on the muddy fields and streets of Scotland.
"One of the things I noticed was A.J. was willing to just play the simple balls and keep possession, and he did it very well. But he wasn't a dangerous player," said Bruce. "So, that started the growth to get him to be more Beckham-ish with his balls. He started hitting longer balls from flank to flank. If you watch him, he can hit a ball similar to a David Beckham. He can ping the ball and put it right on the money."
That ability to switch the ball, to strike it and hit a teammate on the move with either foot caught Grimes's eye.
"When I first saw him play, I thought he had a great field presence and a great sense for the game," says Grimes. "The first thing I saw was his great distribution, particularly over a great distance and with both feet. At first, it was hard to tell if A.J. was right-footed or left-footed, and for an American player that's something that you will rarely see: a guy able to strike a ball with either foot with equal spin, equal pace and equal distance and ability. A.J. can do that. It's one of his best attacking abilities: distribution and passing ability."
Hard work
A.J. worked at his skills and never took a day off. When Bruce moved to San Diego to coach for Surf, he got lucky. He was assigned to coach Soares' team.
The club practiced twice per week, and Bruce would offer optional specialty training sessions once or twice for the players. A.J. never missed one.
"I'd do functional training where we'd invite kids that wanted to come out and have an extra night of training," says Bruce. "If Tuesday and Thursday were his team's training night, Monday or Wednesday night we'd do something like switching the point of attack for midfielders and he was always there."
While playing for Bruce, Soares got a chance as a 13 year old to play against the Women's National Team that had just won the 1999 World Cup and the silver medal in the 2000 Summer Olympics. Soares stepped up to the challenge, outplaying everyone on the field. Bruce knew after the game that he had a special talent on his hands.
"We played against the Women's national team with Mia Hamm and Julie Foudy, the superstar team. We played them down in San Diego at the Arco Center and he was superb," said Bruce. "A.J. sprayed balls around. He was young. He was playing with U-14's, and playing against the women's national team – bigger, stronger, faster and more athletic than he was.
"Against them [the women's national team] he picked them apart. Playing against people like Julie Foudy and those type of players, that's not easy to do. You could see right there that he had vision. Not only did he have the ability to play that ball, but he could see the options. He had that ability to read the game and see two or three different options when a lot of players can only see one. It made him kind of special. "
All the extra hard work was paying off for A.J. as he progressed through Surf's ranks. He started playing with the older teams. Soares had the ability and drive to compete with the older players.
Time for a change
Soares never played center back before going to Cal. He played very little defense at all, in fact. Bruce made him practice in the defense because he wanted A.J. to be a two-way player. Bruce knew Soares needed to be a two-way player if he was going to play college soccer or someday make it to the pros.
"I made him have to work on defensive qualities," says Bruce. "I told him that when you get to college it wasn't good enough to be just a great attacking player. You have to be a two-way player for the Kevin Grimes of the world.
"They have to account for the money they spend on players, and they want to get most for their money, so you have to make yourself as versatile as possible."
All the hard work paid off for Soares. In his first game at Cal, Grimes asked Soares to move out of his preferred midfield position and into the heart of the defense. This wasn't a cupcake of a game either, this was a game against the University of California Polytechnic State University. There were more than 8,000 fans there, but Soares, a freshman, never blinked.
"I was just happy to be on the field. I didn't care at the time where I played," says Soares. "I was just glad to be part of the group. It was a transition to move from being a goalscoring to being a defender; but I really like the physical play of the game, and I got to do more of it in the defense."
It helped that the team was behind the freshman and understood his predicament. It's not always easy to be moved around after playing one position for 11 years. Soares received good advice that he's carried with him since.
"Someone told me, 'it's just soccer. It's still the same game,' and they are right. It's still the same game," says Soares.
It was a career-changing move for Soares, and it took time for him to adjust to the move.
"It was a work in progress for at least two seasons, not to say he didn't perform well during those two seasons. He did very well," says Grimes. "It was a lot of instruction, Q and A, a lot of video review of particular circumstances and situations that pop up during a game and where his positioning should be and the positioning of the other players in the back line. By the time he reached his junior year, he was pretty much in full stride and at that point it became tweaking more than heavy adjustments to coaching."
The coaching and the move paid off. After four excellent years at Cal, Soares made the jump to the pros.
Learning from the best
New England Revolution manager Steve Nicol played more than 500 professional games as a defender. Nicol spent the majority of his career in England with Liverpool. From 1981 to 1995, Nicol wore the famed red jersey more than 300 times and helped the club continue its dominance during the 1980s.
Bruce sees the opportunity for Soares to play under the MLS's longest-tenured coach at New England as the perfect situation for the 22-year old to grow and develop.
Bruce grew up in Scotland and bounced around the English game with the likes of Bolton, Leeds United and Preston North End before moving to the States to coach and play semi-pro ball. He understands the kind of game Nicol wants to play.
"[Nicol's] going to like A.J.'s attributes because he follows in the way we [Bruce and Nicol] like to play the game, the way we were brought up, the kind of game we learned and liked," says Bruce. "A.J. has a lot of the qualities of playing in the British type game."
Bruce compares the way Soares reads the game with one of Nicol's former teammates at Liverpool, Alan Hansen. Being compared to an Anfield great is mighty praise for the 22-year old.
"He's not a grinder defender type of guy. He's probably not the best 1-v-1 defender. He's more like Alan Hansen who played for Liverpool at the same time as Steve Nicol," says Bruce about Soares.
Hansen had the innate ability to read the game, anticipate and sniff out passes before they happened. All things that have been said about Soares.
"Alan Hansen, to me, was very much what A.J. is like. He wasn't a guy that played with brute force and had crunching tackles. He was pretty cerebral about the way he played the game," says Bruce. "He read the game. He was a very good group defender, wins the ball, and once he wins the ball, that's when he's in his element. He can quickly turn the team from defense to offense."
"I think that's what [New England] likes about [Soares]. He's a soccer player. He won't waste the ball that he has at his feet."
Bruce isn't alone in his belief that Soares found himself in a great spot for his career. Grimes feels the same way and sees the move to New England as a perfect fit for the former Golden Bear.
"I think when you're playing under a guy like Steve Nicol, a legend back in the day playing for Liverpool, and he's more than proven in the MLS that he's a fantastic coach. So, A.J.'s going to be learning under one of the best in the business," says Grimes. "If you're A.J. you have to be loving this situation of being drafted by a team looking for some depth in the back and to be learning under the tutelage of a guy like Steve Nicol."
Being a defender can be a difficult task with little recognition or reward. It's the dirty job on the field. Soares is OK with that. He understands the position.
"As a defender, one mistake can cost you the game. You need players who aren't going to make those mistakes," says Soares. "The people who really know the game can appreciate the defenders. Who cares if you aren't celebrated as a defender as long as you win the game."
If Soares helps the Revolution win, no one will care about 2010 and the 50 goals. He may not get the highlights or the MVP award, but Nicol will appreciate the hard work and get a glimpse at what Grimes and Bruce both saw while coaching the southern California boy.

You don't need to be religious to become a better person or turn your life around. I know you probably meant well, but it's kind of shitty. find him when he's flying around in the clouds in his Pittsburgh Steelers Grinch Santa Toilet shirt? I feel the need to clarify this because you clearly have trouble telling apart 'reality' from 'make-believe'.
Pittsburgh Steelers Grinch Santa Toilet shirt, youth tee and V-neck T-shirt
I love Robert Downey junior, always thought he was extremely talented, likable, and charismatic!. So happy he has conquered all, he deserves it. I've always been a big fan of Robert Downey, ever since I saw the movie only you with Pittsburgh Steelers Grinch Santa Toilet shirt. It's great to learn he's helping others using his own life experience.
Pittsburgh Steelers Grinch Santa Toilet hoodie, sweater and long sleeve

Get A Summer Body with HIIT Training!
Although it might seem difficult to believe right now, summer is just around the corner. Are you ready to look and feel amazing so you can make the most of the warmer weather? HIIT training can help–and the best part is that it's actually fun.
HIIT Training
HIIT, or High-Intensity Interval Training, is a workout approach that combines "bursts" of high-intensity exercise with short periods of rest. The rest periods allow you to recharge your batteries so that you're not exhausting yourself during the more intense workout, meaning that you can do more for longer periods of time. HIIT training can be done in quick intervals, and it's so easy that you can start just about anywhere–and the best part is that, by switching up your exercises and allowing yourself to rest, you might actually have some fun while getting that perfect summer body.
TruHIT Fitness has several convenient locations offering multiple HIIT classes per day. Here's an idea of what you can expect from one of these classes!
Bodyweight circuits
"Bodyweight circuits" are designed to exercise large muscle-groups all at once. For example, you might do 40 squats, 30 push-ups, 20 sit-ups, and 10 seconds of burpees before allowing yourself a 30-second rest and starting the cycle again.
Cardio machines
The great thing about cardio machines is that they essentially design workouts for you. They'll change your activity levels at set intervals and then tell you exactly when to take a break, allowing you to focus on what you're doing.
Weights are a popular aspect of HIIT training because they help you gain muscle and lose fat. Circuits can be changed depending on your needs and goals, and you can even switch out weights as you get more comfortable.
Are you getting ready for summer? Want to learn more about HIIT training? Contact us or stop by one of our locations today!

Every month Maggi Stamp, a qualified and experienced relationship counsellor in private practice after 20yrs with Relate, writes about some of the emotional challenges we meet as we pass our half-way markers.
For reasons of confidentiality Maggi never writes about a particular person's problems unless you have sent one in to be answered, but all her examples are based on problems raised by clients, family and friends over the years.
You can write to Maggi at firstname.lastname@example.com for her to respond in the column.
Step Daughter-In-Law problems
Dear Maggi.
Maggi's Reply
Being a step-mum can occasionally be a tightrope walk. The aim is to be accepted and as kind and helpful as possible in the new family configuration. But it is all to easy over balance when trying too hard. Even as an adult, a step-child – or their spouse - can be very wary and critical of the new love interest in their parent's life.
Although you are way past the stage of being a new member of the family, it is still possible to be thought of as being over helpful. Unfortunately this is sometimes mixed, illogically, with an opposing desire – and that is for you to be as supporting as they see you being with your own children.
Part of the trick is keeping some of your thoughts to yourself. To be as outspoken with step-children as you are with your own can backfire. At the slightest hint of censure the step-family can close ranks. Given the situation you describe with your step-son's wife it sounds as though there are some undercurrents of resentment somewhere that have not been resolved. Sometimes outwardly controlling behaviour can be due to a feeling of not being 'in control' of one's personal life.
You mention your daughter is, or has been, a frequent visitor to the young family's home and has heard the criticisms for several years. Sometimes comments can become misconstrued when relayed to a second or third person. It is important to ensure the facts and context are correct before acting.
You say you are older and don't wish to spend the rest of your life looking over your shoulder. It is because you are older that you can use your maturity to deal with gossip. Are you feeling threatened by what has been said - or just offended? Can this woman do actual harm with what she is saying? Is there absolutely no foundation for her comments? And is your only option to cut off all communication, including with your step-son and their young children? What have they done to offend you? The little ones probably know and love you without any of the reservations that come with adulthood. Ask yourself if it is fair that they should lose contact with one of their 'bank' of grandparents for reasons they cannot understand.
Whatever her reasons for feeling rejected her own family are in her sights as well. There is no comfort in the fact that you aren't being singled out - you're just one of the collective 'baddies' - but it does indicate that the problem perhaps lies with the young woman herself. There might be a host of causes for her to be feeling unhappy with her family members. The only way to eliminate some of those is to ask her to explain what is upsetting her. If indeed it is to do with money then it frees you to explain calmly how you feel that each of the immediate family have been supported by you over the years and that now it is now the turn of your own children.
Keep your side of things to yourself but ask what has been troubling her about you and others. Tell her you are concerned over the disruption all this is causing, without accusing her of troublemaking, even if you think that. Telling her what she should and should not do is counter-productive. She had her own parents for that in childhood. But you can ask her to tell you personally if you unwittingly upset her and apologise quickly whenever there is need.
There could be some understandable trigger for her behaviour. Be prepared to listen quietly without interrupting or criticising her. Remember, you are older and it's said we become wiser. Perhaps that seems so because we've learnt to keep quiet about some things when it could make matters worse if we speak out!
You have not mentioned what part your husband plays in this. Is he being supportive of you? It is always easier to face these disputes when you can stand shoulder to shoulder. It also demonstrates to the rest of the family that you are a strong, mutually supportive couple – it gives a positive role model too. Ask him to talk to his son and reassure him that the family is not about to disintegrate. It takes an awful lot to break several decades of family life. But there are troubled periods in every family. That is when a couple needs to work together to ease any worries and settle things down again.
Your husband is where you start to get this underway.
(You have mentioned your Facebook page too, but there are so many implications involved in that way of communicating that there is no room to discuss them here. Perhaps another time, in a future column? I would like to hear about other people's experiences of Facebook, Bebo, etc. Email to firstname.lastname@example.com)
You can write to Maggi at email@example.com for her to respond in the column.

Fallopian tube obstruction is a major cause of female infertility. Blocked fallopian tubes are unable to let the ovum and the sperm converge, thus making fertilization impossible. Fallopian Tubes are also known as oviducts, uterine tubes, and salpinges (singular salpinx).
Fallopian tubes are a crucial part of the reproductive system. The proper functioning of the fallopian tube is essential for a successful pregnancy. These tubes aid in the transportation of the mature egg from ovary towards the uterus. If sperms are present, then the fertilization of sperm and egg takes place in the fallopian tube itself. Hence you know how fallopian tubes function and act as essential components for a successful pregnancy. At times, fallopian tubes have certain types of blockage that hamper the occurrence of normal pregnancy in a smooth way. Due to such blockages, it gets difficult for a woman to conceive as the fertilized egg and sperm (zygote) is not transported into the uterus for implantation.
What are the causes of Blocked Fallopian Tubes?
1. Pelvic Inflammatory Disease (PID)
Pelvic inflammatory disease is one of the most commonly detected causes of the fallopian tube blockage. In this disease, there is an inflammatory effect, which causes the reproductive organs including the fallopian tube to get swelled up. This inflammation stops a woman from conceiving; it can also result in miscarriages or even an ectopic pregnancy where the embryo is implanted inside the fallopian tube. In an ectopic pregnancy, the embryo gets stuck inside the tube instead of travelling towards the uterus due to the scarring of fallopian tubes.
2. Fibroids
Fibroids are abnormal growths that develop in or on a woman's uterus. Sometimes these tumors become quite large and cause severe abdominal pain and heavy periods. In other cases, they cause no signs or symptoms at all. The growths are typically benign, or noncancerous. The cause of fibroids is unknown.
3. Endometriosis
Endometriosis is when the tissue that makes up the uterine lining (the lining of the womb) is present on other organs inside your body. Endometriosis is usually found in the lower abdomen, or pelvis, but can appear anywhere in the body
Other causes of fallopian tube blockage include infections, ruptured appendix, genital tuberculosis, and ectopic pregnancy.
What are the Diagnosis of Blocked Fallopian Tubes?
1.Hysterosalpingogram (HSG)
An HSG is a special kind of x-ray used to evaluate female fertility. An outpatient procedure, the test takes no longer than a half hour. It involves placing an iodine-based dye through the cervix and taking x-rays. These x-rays help evaluate the shape of the uterus and whether the fallopian tubes are blocked.
2. Chromotubation
It is a procedure usually done during a laparoscopy to visualize the fallopian tubes in order to see if they are patent or open. It's done during an infertility work-up. It is a procedure where a colored dye is passed through the fallopian tubes to confirm that they are patent.
3. Sonohysterography
is a special kind of ultrasound exam. Fluid is put into the uterus through the cervix using a thin plastic tube. Sound waves are then used to create images of the lining of the uterus. The fluid helps show more detail than when ultrasound is used alone.
What are the Treatment Options of Fallopian Tubes?
1.Tubal re-anastomosis
Tubal re-anastomosis is also known as a tubal reversal, tube ligation reversal or tube sterilization reversal.
Before the commencement of the procedure, certain tests are done as mentioned above.
General anesthesia is given to the patient.
Then, the doctor places a laparoscope by making a hole below the belly area. The laparoscope is then guided to the pelvic area.
The fallopian tubes are then monitored and accordingly the procedure is commenced.
Any rings or clips in the tube are removed. Then, the ends of the tubes are reconnected with the help of small stitches.
This procedure takes around 2-3 hours. Proper rest is recommended to the patient for the next 3 days at the hospital itself. The doctors monitor the progress in the health of the patient.
2. Fimbrioplasty
Fimbrioplasty is a procedure where fimbriae are reconstructed along with the removal of damaged or functionless fimbriae. Fimbrae basically are small, finger-like projections present near the ovaries.
This treatment is preferred in women who have low fertility levels due to fimbrae problems.
Moreover, after the successful completion of fimbrioplasty, it is noted that women conceive naturally in a short time.
But you need to know that there are more chances of having an ectopic pregnancy if the pregnancy is achieved after fimbrioplasty.
3. Salpingectomy
This procedure mainly involves the removal of a part of the fallopian tube. It was earlier done with the help of laparotomy. In the recent times, it is done with the help of laparoscopy.
Nowadays, laparoscopic salpingectomies are more commonly utilized as a part of the minimally invasive procedures.
One of the common ways utilized is to use a pre-tied surgical loop. It is used to tighten a knot around the fallopian tube and a part of the tube is removed from its place.
Doctors take care that the surrounding areas and nearby reproductive parts are not affected during the removal of a part of the fallopian tube.
4. Salpingostomy
Salpingostomy is also known as neo salpingostomy. It is a procedure, which is used when the hydrosalpinx (blocked and swollen tube) obstructs the end of one or both the fallopian tubes.
Then, the surgeon makes another opening near the end of the fallopian tube. This opens to the ovary.
This helps in the removal of the blockage and successful occurrence of a pregnancy. The doctor opens the fallopian tube. Then, he removes the blockage. The tube is left intact.
The doctor leaves the incision open as it heals on its own.
He/she advises the patient to take proper precautions to avoid increased chances of infections after the completion of the surgery.
5. Tubal Cannulation
In the procedure of tubal cannulation, the doctor inserts a tube known as a catheter through the vagina of the patient.
Ultrasound is utilised for viewing the fallopian tubes. This helps the doctor to insert the catheter in the right location.
The blocked area in the fallopian tube is opened up with the help of a balloon at the end of the catheter or wire.
It can be done after the completion of the procedure known as hysterosalpingography.
Mild sedative and anaesthesia are given to the patient before the commencement of the tubal cannulation procedure.

This is a stretch of river bank lying on the west side of the Thames near Marlow, opposite the grounds of Bisham Abbey. Named after the first known Saxon settler it is marked at both ends by RTS signs and commemorative benches.
Originally, when Bondig Bank was managed by the monks at Bisham Abbey, this land was an osiery – a plantation of willows. The bushes between the river and the tow path would have been kept low, so that tow ropes were not hindered. Osieries were important because willow branches were used for baskets, fish traps, fences and hurdles.
Bondig Bank was given to the River Thames Society in 1992 by Mrs Margaret Dickinson,whose family owned Bisham Abbey and the Society is managing it as a small nature reserve. We are coppicing the willows to keep them compact. Some of the cut branches have been bundled together to shelter hedgehogs, mice and other small animals.
The reeds on the river bank were planted to protect the bank from erosion. They have become a habitat for small birds like reed buntings and warblers.
A new path was installed during 2009 and the plan for the area on the land side of the path is to let the plants grow and die naturally. The nettles may not be attractive to us, but they are important for butterflies and they help to protect birds that nest in the hawthorn bushes. There is a dead tree which is a haven for insects, which will attract more birds.
Conservation Updates: February 2012
An autumn work party completed coppicing work during October 2011. At the same time, the new noticeboard was installed and our bottom picture shows it proudly standing in the autumn sunshine. The noticeboard will help visitors to Bondig Bank understand the site and identify the flora and fauna they may see and will also provide information about the River Thames Society and its other conservation projects.
May 2019.
Many thanks go to Thames Path National Trails volunteers and RTS members who have been working on our length of riverbank, which involved the planting of a new hedge.

She said.......
It's about the beer
He said........
Gina Miller
Bill Keeper
I've been a beer drinking gal since the early seventies. In my day Pabst Blue Ribbon,
Rheingold, Ballantine, Genesee, Rolling Rock, Yeungling, Stegmaier, and even Coors were
considered to be the great tasting smaller brewery beers. There was also a few foreign export
beers but I really didn't like them. Now don't get me wrong, now I only drink fresh quality craft
brews, it's just that this article is about bar traditions.
My favorite spot was calledThe old Gin Mill , a play on words since "gin mill" is another name
for your old time, slightly run down watering hole that fills every day with regulars. Usually the
food was solid but nothing fancy. Unfortunately you would be lucky to find something good on
tap (and luckier if the tap lines were ever cleaned). But you will find however are the old school
traditions that go way back in the industry.
First of all if you ordered a pint of Guinness (or any other beer ) and kicked the keg you
automatically got an additional fresh pint at no charge. Kind of like winning an instant lottery
ticket! If only newer bars with good craft beer honored these traditions. Imagine ordering a St.
Bernardus and getting a free one because you were luckly enough to get the last trickles from
the prior keg. Of course you'll have to wait a few minutes as they put the replacement keg on
tap but your patience will be rewarded with a beer that is gauranteed to be fresh.
Likewise if you ordered a "side car" (shot) along with your beer and were lucky enough to
finish the bottle your shot would be on the house. If you're really lucky you coukd get your beer
and a shot for free.
Then there was the "buy back" which is still followed in some places today. When you order a
third or fourth beer it's on the house. Most often this was a house rule under follwed under the
boss' direction.
As a girl, of course my favorite old school tradition was Ladies Nite with half price drinks for we
females. The ladies were happy and so too were the guys, who after all ,came there to talk to
us in the first place.
I wouldn't ever go with a guy who drinks Coors Lite. I mean why bother with him if he is that
dumb. He's the type that if he was heading to the airport and the sign said "airport
" he
would turn around and head home.
So stay tuned until next month when I give you my take on older beers long gone versus the
excellent new craft brew.
Hey, chug-a-lug, Bill.....see you next month.
I agree with Gina that we things were cheaper when bars followed old school traditions. Everything
IS getting more expensive. it is getting harder and harder to budget for a good night out drinking
craft beer. But drinking on a budget doesn't mean you have to drink swill. And if you're a guy
you can forget about impressing women like Gina if she sees you're being cheap.
What you can do is seek out the many drink specials and happy hour discounts available at your
local bars. You might be surprised to find that many places have special deals almost every day
with the exceptin of weekends. Most will give you at least a dollar or two off plus run a bigger
discount on the special of the night.
One of my favorite special promotions is Trappiste Tuesday at the Tap Room at Somerset Hills
Hotel in Warren, NJ. On that one day all Trappiste ales are $4.00 off. That's makes some of the
finest beers in the world almost as inexpensive as the Budweiser they sell. With Chimay, Orval,
Rochefort and Westmalle to choose from you can't go wrong.
Like most bars, the Tap room also has a regular happy hour Mon-Fri at 5 pm with discounted
tap beers and good free food to boot. Complimentary food is getting a bit harder to find nowadays.
Most places will have discounted food items during happy hour but if you search you'll still find
places like the Tap Room. If you're really lucky you might even find some bars that follow the old
traditons as Gina mentioned.
So remember, to save some dough and not have to suffer drinking swill, head to Happy Hour before
even that tradtion bites the dust.
Oh Gina, if you're ever at The Tap Room on Trappiste Tuesday say hello, I'm the guy smiling
because I just saved $4 on every beer that night!

On September 30,2017, I competed in the Miss Nashville Pageant. I was in complete shock when the announcer called my name as the new Miss Nashville 2018. I was shaking as I was handed flowers, my sash was placed across my shoulder, and they pinned a crown on my head. In disbelief, I looked to see familiar faces in the crowd smiling and capturing photos. This was it, the beginning of a new chapter, a new year as Miss Nashville.
"Style, Service, Scholarship, and Success" – The Four Points of the Miss America Crown
If you aren't familiar with the Miss America Organization, it is one of the nation's leading achievement programs for young women. Each contest is judged on five categories: interview, swimsuit, evening gown, talent and on stage question. Each contestant has their own personal platform along with serving the organization's national platform, Children's Miracle Network.
Over this year, I will be dedicated to representing the city of Nashville, working closely with Children's Miracle Network, and advocating for "Life is Why" Choosing to Live Healthy. I have partnered with the American Heart Association to raise awareness and stress the importance of prevention. I will be attending local events and functions and working diligently on my interview skills, onstage question prep, and swimsuit/evening gown walking. I will continue with my voice lessons to work on improving/perfecting my talent. This is all in preparation for the Miss Tennessee Pageant in June 2018.
I am so blessed to have this wonderful opportunity. I know that I have big shoes to fill, but I am committed to giving my all throughout my service this year. I could not be more excited to be working with my new director, Scott Hilburn. I also cannot thank my friends and family enough for all of their support and encouragement. This week following the pageant has felt surreal. I have already begun working with my director in planning some exciting things. I hope you will follow my journey as Miss Nashville 2018.

Job Offers: The hiring manager just quit. Do you still take the job?
Should you accept a job offer if the hiring manager just quit?
Three days ago you received a call from the hiring manager telling you that the job is yours if you want it. You feel good, right? But for some reason your guard is up, you're cautious, you don't want to sound too excited, or maybe someone told you never to accept a job on the spot. Whatever the reason, you told the manager you would think about it.
A day passes and you find out that the hiring manager just quit. What do you do? You could miss out on a great job opportunity or you could end up taking a job and regretting it for a very long time. Here are some thoughts.
Do your Homework
At first, you might think if the manager quits, it's a bad sign. Don't jump to conclusions. You should find out more about the circumstances surrounding the situation. The reason could be as simple as any of these:
- A promotion? You might learn that the manager quit the job in good faith. Maybe the manager left to start his or her own company or found a path for faster more opportunistic growth. In either case, if there's no bad blood between the company and the former manager then this may still be a good job for you.
- It's the manager's fault. You might also realize that it was the manager's fault and not the company. This could still be okay. Better to start with a clean slate and have clear expectations going in than to work for someone who is going down the wrong path and possibly get caught up in some house cleaning down the road. Who knows, maybe this situation creates a new opportunity for you.
- It's the company. Now, this is a red flag. If the manager quit because of poor working conditions or something worse, you'll probably consider saying thanks but no thanks. It's possible that public perception of the company isn't really what the company is about at all.
In short you'll want to speak with both Human Resources and the manager if you can. Be honest with your concerns and try to get direct answers from both sides and then draw your own conclusion.
It's important to understand the circumstances before making a decision. However, don't get too close on one side or the other that your vision is blurred. Look carefully, this could be your dream job or you could end up looking for a new job shortly after you start this one.
Has this happen to you or anyone you know?

(Bloomberg)—David Hunt, chief executive officer of Prudential Financial Inc.'s PGIM, said the $1 trillion asset manager is scaling back commercial real estate bets in some major markets where competition drove up property prices.
"Whenever you see that kind of heating-up of demand, you have to scratch your head and say, 'At what point does this become a little bit overblown?' " Hunt said Wednesday at a conference held by Citigroup Inc. "We have been selectively selling some of the big cities, so we've been a net seller of New York, of London, and of San Francisco."
Manhattan landlords have been facing falling rents after a wave of construction. Hunt said the years-long push to invest in commercial property was driven by investors seeking higher returns in an era of low bond yields, while also searching for longer-duration assets.
PGIM is "very happily" investing in markets such as Munich and Austin, Texas, Hunt said. "We've liked a lot of second-tier cities."
PGIM has offices in 16 countries and counts almost half of the 300 largest global pension funds as clients, according to its website. The unit of Newark, New Jersey-based Prudential also has operations that originate loans and bet on stocks and bonds.
Deal Pressure
Active asset managers have been under pressure as many clients turn to passive, cheaper options. That's spurred speculation that firms might seek more mergers and acquisitions, especially after Henderson Group Plc agreed last year to buy Janus Capital Group Inc. While there might be a slight uptick in deals, a wave of transactions is unlikely, Hunt said.
"There are some types of M&A that we could imagine would be a natural bolt-on to our multimanager model and which would actually really help fill a need that our clients have," Hunt said, adding the company "would view it positively."
Investors need to be prepared for lower returns than were available in earlier eras, or risk getting burned, Hunt has warned recently. He said Wednesday that multifamily real estate could be an area of concern.
"Rents have come up quite rapidly," he said. "And I think the question is, 'Can that really be sustained?' "

There are a few companies producing replicas, many quite beautiful, but most rather expensive. After all, if I bought one it was only going to sit on a shelf somewhere. All this changed when I saw a metal-bodied airsoft version at a military fair for £12. It was about 30% too small, but a girl doesn't want to carry a massive hand-cannon so this was fine. It was, however, bright blue. Damn! I bought it anyway and the helpful man who sold it to me explained that folk often strip such garishly coloured airsofts with a paint stripper going by the cheery name of "Nitromors".
Off I trotted to the hardware shop to buy some allen keys and Nitromors. "Hold on." I said to the man at the till, "I want to check the size of the keys on this." at which point I produced my blue Mauser. "So…what are you going to use that for?" he asked, mentally calculating that paint stripper and blue gun equals repainted-gun-hold-up-heroine. "A…photo…shoot" I replied, before handing over the cash and running out the door.
The trickiest bit of the whole procedure was the dismantling of the gun. It evidently wasn't intended to be taken apart and I ended up using what brute force I could muster to prize the plastic workings out, shattering much of it in the process. Once I had the metal in component parts I put them in a baking tray and poured on the Nitromors. I had wondered how long it might take to work, and was astounded that it did its job in about a minute flat. I was able to slough-off the peeling paint to reveal the bare metal below. I then sprayed the pieces with matte black acrylic. Reassembly was a veritable Mensa test but I eventually managed to salvage some of the inner workings so the housing still slides open on a spring to reveal the mock-chamber. I darkened the rather garish fake wood with black acrylic paint and was surprised at how authentic it looked.
I am rather proud of my Mauser now in all its flat-black glory. What's more, I genuinely intend to use it for a photoshoot soon, so watch this space.

How I Made It: Lopo Champalimaud, Wahanda
LOPO CHAMPALIMAUD was having no luck convincing bosses at Lastminute.com to expand the lifestyle and beauty arm of the online travel and leisure retailer.
"The new owners were unsure about how it would fit and I spent a lot of time trying to explain why it made sense," said Champalimaud. He was running the lifestyle division when Lastminute.com was sold for £577m in 2005 to Sabre Holdings, the American owner of travel booking site Travelocity. "So I left to do it myself. I decided I was not destined to work for someone else."
The fear of going it alone was eased with cash from Lastminute .com founder Brent Hoberman, who alongside other angels rustled up £1.8m to back the new venture.

How To Transfer Data From Old Iphone To New Iphone Without Icloud – After shooting with a digital camera, of course you will immediately transfer the photos to the computer. However, it doesn't feel good to upload the photos to social media, such as Instagram, Path, and Facebook. Therefore, you must first transfer photos on your computer to your device. If you use an Android device, it's certainly very easy to move the photo. However, if you use an iPhone, how do you insert photos into the iPhone? To transfer photos from a computer to an iPhone you can do this through iTunes. However, if you don't like using iTunes, you can do it with software or other ways without iTunes. Well here we will review some ways How To Transfer Data From Old Iphone To New Iphone Without Icloud.
How To Transfer Data From Old Iphone To New Iphone Without Icloud
1. Direct Wi-Fi Transfer
You might crave how to transfer photos from a computer to a PC as easily as using Bluetooth. Well, how to move photos to this iPhone is almost the same as using Bluetooth, but this method relies on Wi-Fi networks and additional applications. First, you must install the Simple Transfer application on the iPhone. The application can be downloaded for free through the App Store at this link. Next, follow the steps below:
• Make sure the computer and iPhone are connected to the same Wi-Fi network
• Your iPhone will act as a server that will display the IP Address, use this IP Address to connect to the computer
• Type your IP Address through a computer browser, then the iPhone and computer are connected
• Open the photo folder on the computer, select and upload it to your iPhone
• In a moment, the selected photos will be transferred to the iPhone and stored in the Camera Roll.
2. Email
Although this method is somewhat old-fashioned, it is a favorite method and is quite easy to insert photos from PC to iPhone. The reason is, you do not need software or data cables to do how to transfer this photo.
First, you only need to open an email from a computer browser. Then, attach the photos you want to put on the iPhone. Send this email to your own address. A few moments later, your e-mail notification on the iPhone will sound, open the e-mail and save all the photos in the e-mail attachment.
Although it's a bit oldschool, but this method is quite effective for those of you who don't like to move photos through iTunes. This method is also very suitable if you have a fast internet connection, especially if you want to send lots of photos.
3. iTunes
Another option for moving photos from a computer to the iPhone is with the help of the official application from Apple, iTunes. Previously, make sure your Windows or Mac computer has iTunes installed in it. Then, follow the following methods:
• Connect iPhone to computer using a USB cable
• Click the iPhone icon in the left corner of the iTunes homepage
• Check the 'Sync Photos' box and the photos you choose from the computer will fill your iPhone
This method might be a little difficult for beginners, but of course you will get used to it if done as often as possible. This method is very effective for moving photos of a large size. In addition, iTunes does not require an internet connection. Not only to insert photos into the iPhone, iTunes can also be used to delete photos on your iPhone or PC device. In addition, the iTunes program can also be used to manage other media such as moving songs and videos.
Now, by uploading it, you can move photos from your PC / laptop to an iPhone device. You only need to upload photos that will be moved to Google Photos. After that you can download photos that have been uploaded using an iPhone device. Very simple, right? Basically, all the ways to move photos to an iPhone are easy, you just have to choose which method is the simplest. Now, which method will you use? Hopefully the tutorial How To Transfer Data From Old Iphone To New Iphone Without Icloud can be helpful and useful.

At Horizon Creative Media we can provide you with the complete SEO service to help your business stand out online. From an aesthetic point of view we all know what makes a good website but when it comes to the work behind the scenes that ensures your website can be found on Google and the major search engines many of us are left in the dark.
There are a multitude of different factors that can either make or break your website and for many industries now online marketing cannot be seen as an additional extra asset to your marketing resources. As more of us start to search for every conceivable product or service we need online an effective online presence is becoming increasingly more vital to stay in business today.
This is where we can step in to help. Although SEO may be a new phrase for many people the reality is the industry is well established today which makes it more difficult to stand out in an already crowded online market place. We understand as a business owner that you want to focus on the day to day management and expansion of your business and we are here to help you reach your full potential by choosing us to take control of your search engine optimisation and online marketing presence.
Now I am going to explain how we can give you more time and peace of mind to focus on your business by explaining our approach to SEO and how it can benefit your company.
Before commencing your SEO campaign we take the time to get know your business and how you want to advertise to attract more customers. We ask the right questions to ensure your SEO campaign is solid from the ground up to ensure you know what to expect from us and your fully optimised website.
We take the time to learn how you want to be viewed in your industry and like to learn about any USPs and how you stand out from your competitors. We use the findings of these initial discussions to research the best way to promote your company online. Where possible we endeavour to find niche areas of your industry that will bring in the right amount of new customers that your competitors may have missed out on.
On Site SEO
We use the findings of our research to create site content that will appeal to your customers and will also improve your chances of being found on the major search engines. Having the right content is one of many aspects that consists of good on site SEO which is essential if you want to appear organically under keyword searches for terms that relate to your industry.
Our experienced SEO specialists take the time to evaluate the entirety of your on site content to make sure it is as complete, accurate and compliant with the major search engines as possible. Many factors including the quality of your written content, how your website is designed and the overall user experience determine how favourably your website will appear in search engine results when people search for your products or services online.
Effective on site SEO is just one of the factors that will improve your chances of being found online. A fully optimised site is essential for off site SEO which is another major contributing factor when promoting your business online.
Off Site SEO
Off site SEO is also known as link building and is equally important to on site work when planning a successful SEO campaign.
When a new website is launched with full on site SEO implemented there is a strong chance it will rank well for chosen industry keywords. However, over time these rankings will start to diminish without supplemental off site SEO to solidify your standing with Google and the major search engines.
Link building, like most aspects of SEO and online marketing, relies on good quality links over quantity of links. Google and the major search engines assess the quality of your website by the links other websites share that lead to your site.
Our off site SEO service focusses on sourcing quality links that are relevant to your industry to improve your standing with the major search engines. We take the time to create high quality content that reflects your company and ensure it is published on the right platform to make sure you get the most out of your link building activities.
Off site SEO is a continual process and to achieve good results you need to invest the right amount of time into your link building. Depending on your industry and whether you are targeting customers on a local, national or international basis we can tailor the right off site SEO campaign to meet your needs at a fair price.
