Finding Nearby Breweries That Offer Something More

admin

I’ll take a chance and realize that some of you are fans of good beer. If you’re like me, you’ve likely uttered the words, “I wonder if there are good breweries near me.” On the other hand, you may quickly have a chance to forget that notion simply because you couldn’t imagine the idea of ​​visiting a brewery at all.

How things have changed, my friend! Today’s breweries have changed in such a way that smaller players are brewing beer on a smaller scale and take pride in bringing back the old ways of making stellar beer. Furthermore, these same breweries are realizing that caring only about beer means attracting only a smaller section of the population.

Breweries are now joint ventures with restaurants and movie theaters, a far cry from the large industrial facilities we tend to think of when we envision a brewery.

The thing is, though, I still wish these modern new breweries would offer more that makes them stand out a bit more. Sure, I know that makes me seem a bit grateful, but as a consumer, I want as many options as possible.

First things first, if I am looking for a brewery that offers something extra, the first thing I need to do is define what ‘extra’ means to me. This can be a bit tricky because I have to figure out what things I would like to get from a brewery. Do I want a few beers to choose from or do I want a meaningful list of options? Am I more interested in a “diving” type atmosphere or do I want to have a more formal setting? These seem like pretty basic questions, but if you’re looking for the right brewery to visit, you need to dig deeper.

Next, I’m not sure if this is the case for you, but when I have a really cold beer, I like something to snack on. If breweries are now striving to attract a larger audience with food options, I need to know how important food is to me when I find the right brewery. Do I want beer nuts and pretzels? Am I open to gimmicky meals? On the other hand, I would like to believe that I hope to spend a night on the town with my wife and children. I love them and they love me, but you can’t support a family on bar snacks. Being able to have quality ingredients and fresh food prepared on site is very important to me and it can be to you too.

Come to think of it, when it comes to making a brewery visit a family affair, you really need to know what would appeal to those closest to you. What do they like? What attracts them? Is it the family atmosphere with on-site activities that suit both younger guests and parents? These are somewhat difficult questions, but necessary.

So are there any breweries near me that offer something unique? Absolutely. But as with any consumer decision, I need to know what attracts me and my family to help discover that little “extra” something that will make us feel at home.

Until the devil do us part

admin

Divorce seems to be the flavor of the season. Just five months after her marriage to Nepalese businessman Samrat Dahal, Manisha Koirala, the talented but quirky actress, made headlines again for the wrong reasons. It was speculated that the lady of Dil Se was heading to Splitville.

And again, media circles are in an uproar with former actress Karisma Kapoor, who is set to end her marriage to Delhi businessman Sanjay Kapur.

We go down memory lane and list the marriages that did not last …

Guru Dutt – Geeta Dutt

He was a movie genius. She is a talented singer. He is an admirer of Bengali culture. She is Bengali by birth. It was natural for the two of them to fall in love and then get married. Marriage and two children later, the marriage ran into an obstacle. Many say that Waheeda Rehman was the reason. Guru Dutt launched dark southern beauty, Waheeda Rehman in Pyasa and the rest, they say is history. The director was completely in love with this delicate beauty … although, Waheeda maintains to this day, that amber was one-sided.

The one-sided romance, box office flops (Kaagaz ke Phool and Pyaasa, both were her labor of love), and horrible lifestyle (drinking, smoking, and eccentric streak) led to her end and the end of her married life. At the time of his death, he was separated from his wife Geeta Dutt and Waheeda Rehman had become estranged from him.

Vinod Khanna – Geetanjali

Vinod Khaana is among the most handsome men Hindu movies have ever known: dark, tall, broad-shouldered, and strong. Although he started out as a villain in the movies, the producers and directors soon realized that he was acting material. In fact, competing against Amitabh Bachchan for much of his career, he was a critical favorite as much as the masses adored Bachchan.

In the early 1970s, even as he was still establishing his career, Khaana married his college sweetheart Geetanjali and within two years the two were proud parents of two boys, Rahul and Akshaye. But sometime around 1975, Khanna became a disciple of acharya Rajneesh and then in the early 1980s, he moved to Rajneeshpuram in the US for four years washing dishes and working as an Osho gardener.

Although he was in contact with his family by phone from the US, the separation affected his beautiful wife and resulted in a divorce. Vinod is now married to Kavita Khanna, a lawyer by profession and has a son and a daughter.

Zeenat Aman – Mazhar Khan

There is something about beautiful, intelligent and super sexy women, particularly from the 70s era. Zeenat Aman was something of a standard-bearer for this brigade. She had a beautiful body that she never shied away from showing off. She had a mind of her own and never thought to let her know. Unfortunately, she was always attracted to handsome and famous men and never able to respect a woman for being an independent person.

Zeenat dated (and married) Sanjay Khan and was publicly abused by Sanjay and his first wife, Zarine Khan at a hotel in Mumbai. The lady was also rumored to have had a roar with Pakistani cricketer Imran Khan, but nothing concrete actually came out. In the early 1980s, Zeenat finally settled down with small-time actor Mazhar Khan, by whom he has two children.

But this marriage was also very stressed, as Mazhar and his family had beaten Zeenat at his home. Zeenat claimed that his eldest son who had been brainwashed by his in-laws joined the beating session.

The marriage ended with Mazhar Khan dying of alcohol in 1998.

Dimple Kapadia – Rajesh Khanna

He really was the only superstar the country has ever known. Rajesh Khanna broke many hearts when he married ‘beauty Bobby’ Dimple Kapadia. They couldn’t have been better matched: she’s a 16-year-old with wonderful eyes tasting success for the first time in her life, and he’s a superstar eager to establish himself.

Not many know the exact reason the two broke up. The speculation stems from Rajesh Khanna’s sudden fall from stardom. A series of racing failures had a major role to play in the separation of the two.

Although they did not actually divorce, the separation did occur. In time, the bitterness is gone. Today, they are the proud parents of Twinkle Khanna (married to superstar Akshay Kumar) and Rinke Khanaa (married to Samit Saran).

Rekha – Mukesh Agarwal

Sometimes one love is the only love. That could very well be said of the perennial Rekha. Born as Bhanupriya Ganesan, illegitimate daughter of southern matinee idol Shivaji Ganesan, when Rekha made an entry in Hindi movies, she was a nasty-looking ulgy paw, though star power was still there to be seen. Over time, it metamorphosed into a beautiful dark beauty, like a swan. Many insist that it was after she came into contact with a Mr. Bachchan.

Reams of paper have been printed speculating the exact twist and turns of this triangle. If the palpable passion of his films is to be believed, the chemistry between the two was electrifying. But the marriage was not going to be like this.

Rekha was rumored to have married Vinod Mehra, but that was speculation. She definitely married businessman Mukesh Aggarwal, but the marriage just didn’t work out for Rekha and her husband, completely disappointed, hanged himself to death.

Randhir Kapoor – Babita

He was the scion of Kapoor khandan and she was a future actress. Randhir Kapoor and Babita made several movies together before deciding to get married. It is said that the first years were rosy, but soon tensions began to appear. It is speculated that Babita, first cousin of the famous actress Sadhna, could not cope with the super stardom of the Kapoors and left the marriage with her two daughters in tow. Although Randhir Kapoor and Babita never divorced, they did not stay together either.

Rakhee – Gulzar

She was a fragile Bengali beauty like no one had ever seen her. He was a talented lyricist and director that Bollywood would not see for a long, long time. Love flourished, but the marriage could not be sustained. He was known to be violent while she was a bit neurotic, according to reports.

Reena Roy – Mohsin Khan

The ’70s star Reena Roy was absolutely in love with Pakistani cricketer Mohsin Khan. So was her kind cricketer lover, who would fly to London especially to meet her. The two married in 1983 only to soon part ways. It was a painful divorce that saw Mohsin gain custody of his daughter. Much later, when Mohsin remarried, he gave up claiming his daughter. Today, Reena Roy lives in Mumbai with her daughter, now renamed Sanam.

Sanjay Dutt by Rhea Pillai

Sanjay Dutt was the last casanova of Bollywood dating actresses like Tina Munim, star Richa Sharma, Madhuri Dixit, Lisa Ray, Rhea Pillai, Nadia Durrani (based in London) and eventually settled down with Manyata.

Rumor has it that while Sanju Baba had a maddening affair with Madhuri, he actually married three women: first his wife Richa Sharma, who died early in their marriage; then Rhea Pillai, who stood by his side during his insane days in jail. Sadly, it was a love that couldn’t see a bright future. While adversity brought them closer together, the good times couldn’t keep them together. While nothing went wrong, so to speak, they just walked away …

The marriage ended in 2005. Sanjay is now married to Manyataa.

Saif – Amrita

Here was another star couple who just couldn’t put it on. When the two met in 1991, Amrita was a successful actress and had just started. But love flourished and the marriage of the obvious result. But the marriage was not easy. Saif’s parents did not approve of the match; so the two were secretly married. Of course, later the parents came. What’s even more surprising is that the two remained married for close to 13 years, having two children, Sara and Ibrahim together. But the stormy relationship had to happen when a decision had to be made.

It would be safe to assume that Amrita got caught up in a happy marriage (or read mundane) while Saif was slowly recovering and found the relationship ranged from boring to stifling. Over time, Saif’s name became attached to pretty faces like Riya Sen, Smriti Mishra, and Preity Zinta. Things completely changed when Saif puts Roza on.

Soon, it was Splitville for the two of them when they finally divorced in 2004.

Nandita Das – Saumya Sen

The feisty and courageous actress has now seen two divorces, although the second is the most talked about. Saumya Sen, an advertising executive, married Nandita in 2002 and they remained married for seven years. But in 2009, Nandita ended the marriage citing irreconcilable differences.

However, she has recovered and is now married for the third time, this time to environmental entrepreneur Subodh Maskara and has a four-month-old son with him named Vihaan.

Likewise, Hollywood has seen its own list of failed marriages: Eva Parker-Tony Parker;

Sandra Bullock – Jesse James; Jennifer Aniston, Brad Pitt; Kate Winslet, Sam Mendes;

Britney Spears, Kevin Federline; Imran Khan – Jemima Goldsmith and Rihanna – Chris Brown.

What is the best buy for printers for seniors?

admin

As we all know, the lives of older people on earth have gone halfway. They do not need to strain to perform daily activities. However, don’t they also need to test the technology? I am sure I agree with this rhetorical question. The general daily schedule of an elderly person is: wake up, read the newspaper; go jogging on the track and then attend business partner meetings. A person whose age ranges between 60 and 100 years is already an old man.

A kindergarten teacher once asked her young students. “What do grandparents do?” then they all responded, “They sit in the chair all day and smoke a tobacco pipe.” This is a very funny assumption. Some elders are still strong and ambitious for their short-lived future.

The Canon Pixma iP100 printer is a printer that I highly recommend for seniors. He has a digital photo printer. This printer is suitable for the elderly as they can organize their daily appointments. It could be an appointment with the doctor or an entrepreneur. An older person can use this type of printer to prepare a schedule card that can be their daily reminder when performing daily activities. Canon printer is built with quality, with maximum resolution and high speed black print speed. This feature allows you to produce black printed documents on the spot. In addition, it has a wireless network adapter that allows information to be received through radio waves and not through computer cables.

The other suitable printer for this type of age group is the portable printer. It is efficient in terms of mobility and also has a long lasting blue tooth pattern. This allows the user to receive data already processed in the printer. It also has original inkjet parts that are mainly shipped directly from Africa. As if that wasn’t all, the printer is also thermal in nature and produces heat due to intensive file processing.

A true old man is one who keeps busy. You need to have a portable printer that is very convenient for your daily activities.

The Ultimate Ranch Hand: ATV or Japanese Mini Truck?

admin

As operators of a retirement property in Colorado that required us to travel a certain distance around the facility, we were faced with finding a cheaper mode of transportation than our van. Following the example of other farmers and ranchers in the area, we blindly made an expensive purchase of a new ATV. It was a decision that I would later regret.

Over the past 15 years, the basic ATV has become a staple on many large ranches, farms, and retirement properties. People who work in large property operations must be able to navigate their land quickly and efficiently to do repairs, check fences, crops, irrigation, and a host of other tasks. In recent years, the vehicle of choice was the basic pickup. It was reliable and could carry enough supplies without making multiple trips.

When companies like Honda, Yamaha, Kawasaki, and others started producing recreational vehicles called ATVs (all-terrain vehicle), large owners and companies immediately saw the benefits of having a smaller utility vehicle. The basic ATV could get a person to a job site quickly and could carry a small number of tools or other necessities to get a job done.

However, the ATV was not created to be the optimal utility vehicle, but rather the optimal ‘recreational’ vehicle. With its narrow profile and 4-wheel drive capability, the ATV was incredibly well suited for tackling mountain trails, steep terrain, and effectively getting someone back into the hills with a bit of fun. In a pinch, you could bring two people along with a rifle or fishing pole, and maybe a bag lunch.

Meanwhile, back at the ranch, the ATV was showing some limitations. Its inherent fun factor design was great for taking a man to a workplace to check something, but it couldn’t carry much more than a bottle of water and a razor. Some ATV manufacturers addressed this by creating small cargo hauling options. While that helped some, it didn’t really get the ATV back in a vehicle that had a lot of cargo capacity.

And there were a couple of other not-so-minor issues that showed the ATV’s weakness as the optimal ranch vehicle. Not only could it not carry much cargo, what it did carry, including the rider, was often left out in the open. On rainy, snowy, or cold days, the ATV rider had to endure the elements while his tools got wet.

Perhaps the biggest disappointment in the ATV was its fuel economy … or should we say, the lack of fuel economy. When we bought our ATV for retirement, I was excited to start saving money by driving the truck all over the property. What a disappointment to find that our little ATV couldn’t muster better gas mileage than our old Toyota truck. In fact, it was worse. Many ATVs are heavy, tipping the scales at around 800 pounds. Throw in a rider and a bit of cargo, and now you’re asking a ‘one banger’ to drive better than a thousand pounds without a lot of gas. It’s not going to happen.

A better alternative

Under the heading of “If I had known then, what I know now …”, we would not have bought the ATV. While the initial ‘fun factor’ was quite exciting, you soon realized the ATV’s aforementioned weaknesses. But at the time, he knew of no other alternative.

But recently I realized what is called the ‘Japanese Mini Truck’ or Kei truck. The term Japanese mini truck only meant one thing to me … your basic ½ ton Toyota or Nissan-like pickup truck. But that is no longer the case.

Japanese mini trucks are smaller vehicles that can accommodate two people, have an enclosed cab with heating and sometimes air conditioning, and feature a pickup box that has almost the same load capacity as larger Japanese trucks. However, the entire vehicle is much smaller and much more maneuverable on the ranch or farm.

Also called Kei Trucks (“Kei” means ‘light’), the Japanese Minitruck has other characteristics that make it stand out from the ATV as a ‘ranch pawn’. They are able to achieve phenomenal fuel economy using a small but powerful 3-cylinder engine. The driveline setup, which also comes with 4-wheel drive, is of a more standard design and is therefore often more reliable and easier to work with on an ATV. Anyone who has ever placed their ATVs in the shop for repair can attest to the incredible cost of maintaining them.

Buying a Japanese mini truck often has to be done through a local importer, who brings these used vehicles from Japan in containers. Kei trucks are generally not sold new in the US And in most cases, the mini-truck is considered an agricultural vehicle rather than a highway vehicle. But some states allow its use on the road.

Think of a Japanese mini truck as a replacement for an ATV, not a replacement for the truck you use to drive to the store. But oh what a replacement it is for the ATV. I’m amazed at its functionality for driving to the job site, hauling the right load, keeping us warm and dry, and incredible fuel economy and reliability. These trucks are typically manufactured by major manufacturers such as Suzuki, Mitsubishi, and other well-known vehicle producers in Japan.

The newer models feature fuel injection, air conditioning, and some significant improvements over older vehicles. Most units come with a 5-speed transmission. Some have a roll-away bed or other options that provide incredible utility value on the ranch or farm.

In short, if I had to do it all over again, I would give up the ATV and buy myself a Japanese Mini Truck. If you spend more time working on your property than recreation, look for the Japanese Kei truck.

Once you know where to look, there is a lot of information on the web. I found this website at http://www.startruckenterprises.com, run by Dan Buzzell in the Rocky Mountain area. There were many photos of the trucks, as well as useful information.

5 ways to make your blog posts work better

admin

Sometimes it is difficult to come up with new content ideas. You know that Google and the other search engines reward new and submitted content on a consistent basis. This can be a difficult situation when the old noggin is not generating ideas for new content.

Fortunately, you’re probably sitting in a gold mine of new traffic right now … your old blog posts.

You can simply repurpose your current posts to make them fresh, giving you new traffic bait without a lot of time or trouble. A big benefit here is speed. It doesn’t take as long to rework your old blog posts as it does to create new ones.

The following 5 practices are methods that successful bloggers use to create more traffic, without creating entirely new content.

1. Link to other posts and pages on your blog

Google spiders love internal links. This is when you link from one page or post of content on your site to another. This simple trick can keep readers on your site longer, alert your readers to relevant content, and also increase the average amount of time each visitor spends on your blog. All of those things are great for SEO, which means more free organic traffic.

2. Rework your titles

You may read an old blog post and think that it is pretty fabulous. It may not need any changes. You can have keywords and related words and phrases, your captions move the reader down the page, and you have a strong call to action. Why not just change the title? This is only recommended for posts that you think may underperform. No need to change something if it is not broken.

3. Share your popular blog posts on social media

It doesn’t matter how old they are. Your most popular blog posts are popular for a reason. Every month, take them back to the trenches of social media, where they can go fight for you.

4. Make short posts longer

Did you know that posts of 1500 words or more generate more traffic than shorter posts? This is free generic traffic that you don’t have to pay for. Reinforce the length of your current shorter posts, making them rich in value as you go.

5. Improve the readability of your posts

Nobody likes to read a large block of text. Divide your content. Add subtitles. Use underlining, italics, bulleted lists, images, and videos to make an old, outdated blog post fresh and enjoyable.
