Social Marketing that Pops – Tips to Use Pop Culture Marketing for your Brand
Posted on September 10th 2012
In today’s media landscape it’s hard to be unique. Social marketers are failing to create new ways to reach their audience with recycled strategies of charities and contests, struggling to increase engagement for the long term. But to be fair to any audience, it’s hard for viewers and fans to commit much of their interest to obvious calls to action like “Check out our latest blog post” or the overused “Like our Page and we’ll donate to this charity!” So, how can social marketers avoid this?
Sounds hard doesn’t it? But in our extremely fractured media landscape where advertising is everywhere, some advertisers manage to cut through the clutter. That’s because they become a part of pop culture. They become defined by people’s interests and appeal to factors such as recognition and attention-grabbing entertainment. Over time, as advertisers utilize pop culture to build their brand message, their brand begins to merge and blend with the same piece of pop culture that was used to create the message, resulting in a fully immersive branding experience recognizable on a big scale.
In the social marketing world, this pop culture strategy has been proven effective. Take a look at Oreo for example: do you think they managed to attract 150,000 likes and 20,000 comments on their Facebook post just because they make cookies that taste delicious? Not at all. It’s because they’ve built a simple marketing strategy on today’s most-talked about issues. Which -- surprise -- makes people want to talk about them.
The focus of each marketing campaign is to present the popular events and issues in a simple, visually stimulating, and most importantly, shareable way.
Here are some ways that big brands have become a part of pop culture:
When Oreo decided they wanted to associate their brand with pop culture, they created a very long series of ads that people could slowly begin to relate to. Each individual ad had to be recognizable and stand out while maintaining exposure for the brand.
Here’s an ad that garnered a lot of social activity because of the recent events surrounding the Curiosity Rover Landing on Mars. The Nabisco brand created a visually appealing image with nothing more than one of their red Oreos. It illustrated tire tracks running over the icing. It was immediately recognizable and easily associated to the current events.
This creativity allowed the event to be integrated with the brand and allowed Oreo to become a part of the social conversation.
Oreo also managed to add to this series reflecting on the events that occurred in the 100 years since the company began. They utilized instantly recognizable landmarks of our history to become associated with the brand. We all remember what prohibition was right?
MTV was similarly successful as it took the opportunity to receive some brand exposure in memorial of the death of music icon Michael Jackson. However, any time advertising surrounds a death, time sensitivity is crucial. If the ad were published too late, it wouldn’t have received the same appreciation or would have missed out of the majority of the social conversation.
At a time when the entire nation took a moment to stop, and reflect on the life and career of a renowned musician, MTV sought the opportunity to create a tribute to the musician and become a part of the conversation. And being a part of that conversation meant a lot of social power. On the day in which Michael Jackson died, the public flocked to social networks to share their thoughts. Twitter crashed at around 5,000 tweets per minute.
Oreo has been extremely bold with their brand, and it has paid dividends. Remember that Facebook post with 150,000 likes and 20,000 comments I was talking about? It’s the Oreo advertisement below.
Oreo became the center of one of politics most impassioned debates with their “Gay Pride” cookie. The brand took a stand for something they believe to be morally correct as they associated their brand, a cookie manufacturer, with the sexual equality movement. As a result, this advertisement is not only shared across the web, in blogs, articles, Facebook statuses and tweets, but people are making a political statement signifying their stance as pro sexual equality by eating an Oreo.
Brands looking to do this for their own social campaigns may not want to be so bold. But if you believe in something, feel free to make it known in a way that is not offensive to others. If you sell school furniture, share opinions on education. If you sell home furniture, be active for homelessness. If you’re an auto dealer, take a stance for the environment.
Give Something Back – Be the Source of News
During the Olympics, another widely discussed topic on our favorite social networks, it was hard for followers to keep up with the events of the day. But with the appropriate advertising, your brand could become Olympic contenders themselves. Followers of the brand Nutella were constantly given updates on the Olympic events of the day through a series of creative advertisements to tell them which sports would be aired.
This allowed Nutella to keep people interested in the Olympics by highlighting which events were taking place in a visually creative way instead of following a typical (and boring) schedule of events.
By following these similar strategies, your brand can become a part of the social conversation online much more naturally and appeal to the interests of the public audience. By merging your brand slowly with pop culture and current events, the public will be more at ease to advertising and begin to associate the ads with the defining factors of their life. With these strategies, hardly any other internet marketing companies will be able to keep up.


Toyota’s Gazoo Racing team has won the 2022 6 Hours of Spa-Francorchamps
Gazoo Racing, Toyota’s motorsport and performance division, ruled this year’s 6 Hours of Spa-Francorchamps and overcame adverse weather to get their first win of the 2022 FIA World Endurance Championship (WEC) season.
Driving the No.7 Toyota GR010 Hybrid Electric Hypercar, reigning world champions Mike Conway, Kamui Kobayashi, and José María López drove a stunning race round the 7.004 km circuit in Stavelot, Belgium and made it seven wins out of eight races for Toyota GR010 Hybrid Electric since it was launched at Spa back in 2021.
The race was quite an eventful and demanding event for the drivers as numerous incidents, interruptions, and red flag periods interrupted the drivers’ rhythm but nonetheless the Gazoo Racing drivers kept their cool and secured the top spot on the podium after a sensational final stint from José María.
Akio Toyoda, President and CEO of Toyota Motor Corporation, said: “Thank you to Mike, Kamui, and José María for their first victory of this season. I am pleased with the first victory of the new Team Principal, Kamui, and thank you for your hard work in your dual role. Heavy rain posed a significant challenge, but we at Toyota truly believe that the car must be safe to drive in any circumstance.”
“The race gave us yet another opportunity to gain invaluable insights into making ever-better cars that drivers can drive with confidence. I'm looking forward to seeing everyone in the team work closely together to support our two GR010 Hybrid Electric vehicles to deliver an exciting race at Le Mans. Thank you to all the fans for your support for us this time as well,” he concluded.
This result was a very important one as next up for the team is the demanding Le Mans 24 Hours.

Looking after yourself if you are unwell with diabetes
If you have diabetes then things are more complicated if you become unwell , especially if you are on insulin - should you give yourself more insulin because your body will need more when you are unwell, or less because you are not eating? How often should you monitor? What should you do if your sugars go too high? How do you know when to seek help.
Our local diabetes clinic at the Cedar Centre has produced some excellent leaflets for people with diabetes that can help here, and they apply whether you are unwell with any short term illness, whether it is COVID-19, or something like norovirus. There are different leaflets for different situations:
If you have type 2 diabetes and on diet alone then your diabetes probably does not need any special treatment, but do seek medical advice if you have concerns.


Leeds United will be looking to bolster their squad following their return to the Premier League after a sixteen-year absence.
According to Phil Hay of The Athletic, the Whites are expected to make at least four to five new signings this summer.
Marcelo Bielsa (provided he stays at the club) is not looking to make a wholesome change, but the Argentine would love to make necessary additions.
Leeds could look to sign a goalkeeper this summer with Kiko Casilla expected to depart. The Spaniard could return to Spain after seeing his reputation damaged by a racism charge against him.
The Yorkshire club have already converted Illan Meslier’s loan move from Lorient into a permanent deal, tying the French goalkeeper to a three-year contract for £5 million.
However, if Casilla leaves, they will have a goalkeeping vacancy to fill.
Manchester United’s no 2, Sergio Romero has been linked with a move, while Leeds have a long-standing interest in Arsenal goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez.
The 27-year-old, who joined Arsenal in 2012, has made only 36 appearances for the club. He has spent loan spells at various clubs in between and is likely to start in the FA Cup final against Chelsea.
He is an experienced goalkeeper and could be lured with the opportunity of regular football at Elland Road.
Martinez has made 22 appearances in all competitions this season, but he could be tempted to join his compatriot Marcelo Bielsa at Leeds.


After testing on the site of Twentse Weg- en Waterbouw BV ( TWW ) in Borne and on the Lansinkesweg in Hengelo, the time has come after two years of development in cooperation with Asfalt Centrale Twente ( ACT ). The fibre-reinforced asphalt was used in the reconstruction of the Rijksweg in Doetinchem. The contractor here was Dostal.
Two layers of asphalt have been replaced with fibre-reinforced asphalt. The fibre used is Fibrofor® High Grade. Because of the strong fibre in the asphalt, it has a longer lifespan. This means that less asphalt is needed and therefore less raw materials are used. This ensures that the entire process in the project is more sustainable. To be able to use constructive synthetic fibres in asphalt, it must be produced at a low temperature, which alone reduces CO2 emissions.
- More abrasive surface
- Asphalt thickness reduced
- Shorter project lead time

Basidiomycetes are ecologically important higher fungi that synthesize three families of organohalogen metabolites: halomethanes, halogenated aromatics and haloaliphatic compounds. To date, a total of 53 halogenated metabolites have been identified in 34 genera of basidiomycetes. These organohalogen metabolites have demonstrable physiological roles as antibiotics, as methyl donors and as subsstrates for H2O2-generating oxidases. The concentration of chlorinated aromatic metabolites encountered in natural environments associated with the widespread occurrence of basidiomycetes have been shown to exceed the hazardous-waste norms that are applied to analogous anthropogenic chlorophenols in soil.

A NEW CHAPTER BEGINS For the Greater Cleveland Fisher House!
A new chapter began for The Greater Cleveland Fisher House with the official groundbreaking for the two, sixteen suite houses taking place on Friday, March 23, 2018! Approximately 200 members of the community were in attendance for the event along with U. S Congresswoman Marcy Kaptur, VA Deputy Secretary Thomas Bowman, Cleveland Mayor Frank Jackson, Louis Stokes VA Medical Center Director Susan Fuehrer, and Brian Gawne of The Fisher House National Foundation. According to Gawne, this was the largest Fisher House groundbreaking crowd in some seven years.
The patience shown by all in this incredible journey has been greatly appreciated by all associated with this initiative. We cannot say “thank you” enough for your continued support.
(LEFT: Greater Cleveland Fisher House Tom Sweeney thanks the Northeast Ohio community for its support. RIGHT: The Greater Cleveland Fisher House “shovel line” breaks the first ground for the two new Cleveland Fisher Houses.)
All eight parcels of the designated project site (East 105th Street and Orville – a block north of The Louis Stokes VA Medical Center) were assembled under one title for transfer to the Veterans Administration. That transfer officially took place on June 30, 2017.
It is our intention to begin winding down the formal capital campaign early in 2018 and then transition from a capital campaign task force to The Friends of the Cleveland Fisher Houses committee. Funds donated going forward will be used to purchase deep-discounted airline tickets for Fisher House families traveling to and from Cleveland (done through the Fisher House Hero Miles program). Funds will also be used to obtain “entertainment values” for the families in the community such as museum passes, Goodtime cruise tickets, and tickets for family events being held at various venues in Northeast Ohio. Finally, funds will be used to assist Fisher House families with children who may have educational scholarship needs.
Again, to ALL who have supported us in this incredible journey… THANK YOU!!

A story that delivers a compelling message for parents and their teenage or young adult children. In it, we find that love—even with the challenges the relationship presents—is what’s important… it can heal and if you’re lost… it can bring you home.
Jolted awake by the buzzing on the nightstand next to me, I focused on the clock’s numbers projected on the ceiling above: 02:18. I had to be up in less than three hours and at work in four. I blinked, shook my early Monday sleep-muddled head, and reached for my phone. “Hello?”
“Daddy?” It was a bare whisper over the static. That line hiss something I’d not heard in years. When the frantic sound of a young voice crying became clearer, my heart pounded. I gripped the phone and glanced over at my wife, who was turning on her side to face me.
“Daddy, I know it’s late, but don’t… please, don’t say anything until I finish. And before you ask. Yes, I’ve been drinking. I ran off the road a couple of miles back, and…”
I drew in a sharp, thin breath, pressed my hand against my forehead, and rubbed my eyes. Sleep still fogged my mind. Something was wrong.
“I got so scared, and all I could think about was how it would hurt you and mom if the police came to your door and told you I’d been killed. I want…” she took a deep breath, “I want to come home. Running away was wrong. I know you’ve been worried sick. I should have called you before now, but I was afraid… so afraid…”
Her sharp cries pierced me. Immediately, I pictured my daughter’s face, and my senses cleared. “I think you–”
“No! Please let me finish! Please,” she pleaded. I paused to think what to say. Before I could, she continued, “I shouldn’t be drinking… especially now, I’m sorry, Daddy, but I’m pregnant and… and… I’m scared, Daddy. Really scared!”
The voice broke again, and I bit my lip, hard. I looked at my wife now sitting up, as she silently mouthed, “Who is it?” I shook my head, and she shifted closer to me, putting her head next to the phone held to my ear.
“Are you still there?” Worried at my silence, the faint voice continued, “Please don’t hang up! I need you. I’m so alone.”
I squeezed the phone tight in my hand. “I’m here, I won’t hang up,” I said.
“I should have told you. But when we talk, you just keep telling me what to do. You read all that stuff on how to talk about sex and all, but all you do is talk. You don’t listen and won’t let me say how I feel. It’s as if it’s not—my feelings aren’t—important. Because you’re my father, you think you have all the answers. Sometimes I don’t need them; I need to figure things out first and not jump into an argument where we both get mad. I love you, Daddy, but I just want you to understand.”
I choked down the rising lump in my throat and thought about all the how-to-talk-to-your-kids information I’d read. “I’m listening,” I whispered.
“Back there sitting in my car on the side of the road, I started thinking about the baby—I made a mistake, it’s my fault—and how I had to take care of my child. I couldn’t get a cell phone signal, it’s a cheap service, so I started walking. I saw this phone booth, and in my head, I could hear you going on about how people shouldn’t drink and drive. So, I called a taxi.” The shuddering of a racking cry came through the phone. “And I had to call you.” Her voice thickened with sobs, “I want to come home.”
“That’s good,” I said and let out a breath I didn’t know I’d held, “come home.” My wife laced her fingers through mine.
“I think I can drive now. I’m going to–”
“No!” I snapped and squeezed my wife’s hand. “Please, wait for the taxi. Don’t hang up on me until it gets there.”
The line crackled and hissed. “I just want to come home, Daddy. I love you and mom.”
I didn’t hesitate, “Come home but do this for your daddy. Wait for the taxi, please.”
I listened, in fear, to the white noise on the line. When I didn’t hear her answer, I closed my eyes and prayed she wouldn’t go—hadn’t gone—back to her car. “Honey!” Then the static stopped.
“I think this is my ride.” A car engine sounded louder in the background. It slowed to an idle. A tick-tick-ticking sound. Someone—a man’s voice—called out, “Hey, you call for a cab?”
The taut muscles across my chest and shoulders eased. I took a deep breath and let it out.
“Hang on just a second,” I heard her reply to the driver, and to me, her voice still shaky but not as unsettled, “I’m coming home, Daddy.”
With a click my phone went silent, its display dimming and going dark in the moment I sat staring at it. Releasing my wife’s hand, I put it back on the night-table and moved from the bed with tears spilling from my eyes. I walked into the hall and down it to stand in my sixteen-year-old daughter’s room. A silent darkness but for the soft susurration of the spinning blades of her ceiling fan and thudding of my heart. My wife came in, wrapped her arms around me, and rested her chin on the top of my shoulder.
I wiped tears from my cheeks with the palm of my hand. “We… I… have to listen to her.”
She turned me around to face her. “We will. You’re a good father.” She hugged me tightly, and I squeezed back, my head at the nape in her long hair as we held each other for an armful of heartbeats. I pulled away and watched my daughter asleep in her bed.
My wife’s hand stroked the side of my face, warm in the cool air. “Do you think she—the girl on the phone—will realize she dialed the wrong number?”
I looked at our sleeping daughter, then back to her. “When that girl gets home, she will… and maybe it wasn’t really a wrong number.” I leaned down and kissed my wife on the forehead and straightened, “At least not for me, and I hope not for her.”
“Mom, Dad, what are you doing?” The voice came from under the covers. I walked over to my daughter, who had sat up to stare at me. The phone in her hand—as a nightlight—shined on her face. “We’re… I’m learning,” I replied as I sat on the edge of her bed.
“Learning,” I whispered and brushed the hair away from her face, “to listen, Honey.”
A NOTE FROM DENNIS
A few years ago, I read different—shorter, rougher—versions of this in the public domain without attribution. Bits, pieces… one of those–often apocryphal–things found strewn about online.
Being the father of four daughters, I thought the gist of the message compelling but the story lacking. And that stayed with me. So, I took the kernel of it, refined and expanded and think this version is worth sharing.

Bunches of dried florals, like lavender combined with Preserved Foliage, have a gorgeous appearance.
Statement pieces are a popular way to add interest and character to a room. A statement piece is usually an eye-catching item that stands out from the rest of the décor in the space. There are many different ways to create a statement piece with dried flowers.
You can use a variety of dried flowers for this, including dried roses, dried sunflowers, Dried Rodanthe, etc. Choose a color scheme that complements the other colors in your room, and arrange the flowers in a grouping or as a single focal point.
Use dried flowers in a vase or other container. This can be especially effective if you choose an interesting or unusual container. You can also use different colors and textures of dried flowers to create visual interest ranging from tiny and delicate to big and brave!

Cut the flowers into small pieces, making sure to remove any leaves or petals that aren't necessary. Add a few pieces to your jar or container. Melt some wax in a pot on the stove, then pour it into a jar or tin container.

Having pushed back the release of his highly anticipated major label debut 11:59 from June to late July, singer/songwriter Ryan Star is preparing to release a four song EP digitally to tide fans over until the album drops later this summer. The EP entitled "Last Train Home EP" is due out on iTunes and Amazon June 16th.
“I wanted to make sure the fans had some music because they have been waiting a long time,” Star told Alternative Addiction about the reason for releasing the EP. “It will be four songs from the album, just to have something out there right now, because I am jonesing for people to have some music in their hands.”
Of the four tracks on the EP, aside from the single “Last Train Home,” Star says the other featured tracks for the EP have not been chosen yet, but he says the tracks will include songs of Star’s that have been in TV and movies.
“People have heard those tracks, at least bits and pieces of them, so I want to make sure fans can have them for real,” explained Star. “Then the rest will be a big surprise when the album comes out.”
Star is currently on tour with David Cook through mid-July. Even as an opening act Star says that fans have responded to his music, especially on sites like Facebook and Twitter, which Star remains very connected on.
“It feels really cool to be in this output mode you can play a song and five minutes later have all your fans respond,” said Star. “It’s a pretty amazing relationship and the kind of music I play has always been trying to speak to as many people as possible.”
Having a strong desire to get his music to the masses, Star is anxious to get his music release, but knows that he has to be patient and let his label give the album proper promotion prior to its release.
“The days of throwing it to the wall and seeing what stays are long gone, [in the past] they threw so much to the wall that a lot of people got screwed,” said Star. “I think that is what happened with Stage, no one worked that.”
Stage is of course Star’s previous band that was signed to Maverick in 2001, only to break up years later after lack luster sales of their debut album due in large part to poor promotion. Rather than make the same mistake again, Star understands the importance of properly promoting an album prior to its release.
“This is a better way in my opinion, and I think everyone will appreciate it in the end.”
The release of Star’s debut solo album, 11:59 is tentatively set for release on July 28.

The Oakland, CA neighborhoods in Oakland's best high scholl attendance zone are Piedmont Pines, Montclair, Crocker Highlands, Lincoln Heights above Carmel St., Redwood Heights, Woodminster, and the neighborhoods surrounding Joaquin Miller Blvd, Skyline Blvd, Merrit College, and around Skyline High School.
Skyline High is Oakland's best public high school, in relative terms. But sadly, it is a shadow of the high school it used to be decades ago. It went downhill in the '80's and '90's.
Now, families who want to live in Oakland but value a superior education send their kids to private schools. Fortunately, Oakland is home to several good-sized, coed, very highly ranked private high and K-12 schools. College Prepatory High, off upper Broadway (not Broadway Terrace), is one of the best prep schools in the nation! CPH educates students from grades 9-12.
Head-Royce is also excellent and serves kids in grades K-12.
The Bently School in Hiller Highlands (next Berkeley's Claremont Hills Neighborhood) is another outstanding K-12 choice.
And for parochial high schools, Oakland's Bishop O'Dowd is well-respected and educates young people from grades 8-12.
The city of Piedmont, an upscale to elite enclave surrounded by Oakland, is also a possibility for those who enjoy what the greater Oakland community has to offer, including reasonable commutes to San Francisco, Piedmont's public schools, especially Piedmont High, are solidly college prep oriented and located within verdant neighborhoods of stately homes, though Piedmont does have some locales with more realistically-priced homes and condos.
Oakland's best public middle school is Montara and is located next to Joaquin Miller Elementary, the best elementary school. Montclair, Thornhill, and Carl Munck Elementaries are also O.K..
GOOD LUCK and welcome to Oakland!

10 South African Ministers Resign Along With Mbeki
Ten South African ministers, as well as the deputy president have resigned. The resignations follow as President Thabo Mbeki prepares to leave office.
Three deputy ministers have also tendered resignations, after a judge threw out a corruption and fraud case against Zuma, who is Mbeki's political rival. The judge stated that the case was invalid and rife with interference from Mbeki's political interference.
So is this a show of support? People who were involved in the interference? Mbeki has been in power for ten years, and many wonder what will happen to both him and South Africa afterwards.
The African National Congress has confirmed Motlanthe as the choice to succeed Mbeki until elections in the spring of 2009.
His replacement, African National Congress Deputy President Kgalema Motlanthe, will be sworn in as South Africa's president Thursday.
Mbeki announced he was resigning on Sunday, prompting threats from several Cabinet members to follow suit -- but the outgoing president urged them to stay in office, government sources said.
The resignations, which include Finance Minister Trevor Manuel and Defense Minister Mosiuoa Lekota, will take effect Thursday when Mbeki steps down, a government statement said.

I was at EDSA. Hearing over the radio how a sizable crowd was gathering along EDSA at the gates of Camps Aguinaldo and Crame, Fr. Engelbert Gammad and I made the trip from Tuguegarao to Manila, to join the crowd at EDSA. We were convinced that it was time for the rule of the military to end. We were convinced we were taking up a position for freedom. My brother and sister, who were residing in Manila, needed no convincing. They were prepared to go. My sister even packed sandwiches to share with those at EDSA.
I do not regret having been there. And I rejoiced with most Filipinos when I heard that Ferdinand Marcos had been carried off to Hawaii, and Cory’s government had been sworn into office. I really thought it would be the beginning of a new Philippines. Wracked by one coup after the other, I staunchly defended – in the meager ways I could (from the pulpit, in articles that occasionally found their way to national dailies, in radio interviews, in lectures to a captive audience to students) – Cory’s government. It was, after all, the government I too contributed to install in power.
When I look back at the turbulent years of the Cory administration, I can understand why the EDSA euphoria very soon ebbed as disenchantment set in. She was no manager, and certainly it did make a difference that she had no experience at government. Too much of her own quirks got in the way of her leadership. There is Jimmy Ongpin’s sad story to bear this out.
More than anything else, she was a symbol around which a nation that had grown weary of military rule rallied. And that was in essence how she served the country best: providing us with a symbol around which we were able to gather and marshall forces against what we were then convinced was a god-forsaken regime.
As for Martial Law, it was in place too long, and too many abusive people took advantage of it. But Ferdinand Marcos had every right to declare it, as the Constitution of 1935 gave him ample powers to do so, leaving his discretion on this matter virtually unfettered. The Supreme Court was not convinced that the factual basis for declaring martial law was a justiciable issue. And when his authoritarianism was challenged and questioned, Marcos was prepared with an arsenal of American jurisprudence on martial law to prove his point – after all, our commander-in-chief provisions are of American provenance, in the 1935 Constitution. Influential families were carving atrocious portions of the national economy to themselves, and insurgents were having a heyday, as politicians stoked the flames of discontent, they thought, to their own advantage. Truth to tell, when Martial Law was declared, we, in the province felt more secure. About time… that was the common sentiment.
After 6 years of a rudderless administration with an Aquino heir at the helm, we have different optics now with which to look back at EDSA, and many have become more appreciative of Marcos, his intelligence (that only idiots will deny!) and his mastery of statecraft that was not dependent on a caboodle of advisers. And when it becomes clear how the Aquino administrations (Aquino I and Aquino II) restored oligarchic families to positions of privilege – with their corporations virtually a counter-force to government, to be placated and amused at every turn – then we can more readily understand what we have so long despised! It seems that every good legacy that the Aquino administration can offer the nation was exhausted by Aquino I – the 1987 Constitution, a truly independent judiciary (particularly the Supreme Court), among others. It is a pity that there had to be an Aquino II, because this latter chapter has contributed immensely to the disenchantment: it has compromised judicial independence almost irreparably and has given currency to that phrase that is the very antithesis of justice: “selective justice.”
I will remember EDSA prayerfully. I will pray for Ferdinand Marcos and for Cory. I shall remember what I am grateful to both for, but I look to be re-enchanted hopefully some time soon after a 6 year dissipation of the national spirit! – Rappler.com

By popular demand, this week’s recipe is my Cheesy Roast Beef Sliders. I told you that I thrive during football season, specializing in dips and breakfast, but this is an exception because it’s so easy, anyone with two hands can make this tasty dish. I love sliders during football because they are smaller than a regular size sandwich (obvi) so you can 1) eat a bunch of them, and 2) eat lots of foods with them (i.e. chips, dips, cheese, cupcakes, cookies, I could literally keep going forever). If you ask my husband, my love affair with sliders goes back many years when he claims I ordered sliders at every restaurant he took me to on a date. This love is deep and it’s real (in the words of the icon Grace Adler). This won’t be nearly as beautiful as Chef Nick’s creations (he will be back next week don’t worry!), but I promise you these sliders will please your wild football crowds. The cheesy roast beef slider recipe is fun, and basic, so you can add other flavors you love such as horseradish or scallions, or even brown sugar to the buttery topping! Have fun with it, it’s your Sunday after all!
Cheesy Roast Beef Sliders
- 1lb roast beef (rare and thinly sliced if you can)
- 1 pack of King’s Hawaiian Rolls
- 1.5-2 cups shredded cheddar cheese (I prefer sharp cheddar, you could do slices instead of shredded as well)
- Any fun variation of mayo (we used smoky bacon mayo but have also used chipotle mayo)
- Freshly ground black pepper (I love my peppermill, but it doesn’t need to be freshly ground)
- 1 tbsp butter
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
When I said this was crazy simple, I wasn’t exaggerating! Last week Chef Nick taught us to gather our ingredients, so I did just that! These sliders are so good, even my dog Jonas wanted to know what I was getting ready to prepare (he’s extremely nosey and tall).
STEP 1: Pre-heat the oven to 350°F to warm up! Cut the rolls in half so you can separate the top and bottom in two easy layers. Place the bottom layer in a 9 x 13 baking dish (any rectangular baking dish that fits the rolls will do, we’re not picky here!).
STEP 2: Bunch thin slices of roast beef on every section of the bottom bun until you’ve used all the roast beef (you can stack the bunches of beef). Add some freshly ground black pepper over the roast beef to your liking. Lastly, sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the beef, don’t be cheap!
STEP 3: Spread mayo on the top half buns evenly. Place the top bun on the bottom bun full of meat and cheese!
STEP 4: Melt 1 tablespoon of butter, mix melted butter with 1 tablespoon of Worcestershire sauce. Use a brush to spread the butter mixture on the top of the buns to give them a shiny buttery coat that will be flavorful and crispy once baked.
STEP 5: Bake the sliders at 350°F for 20 minutes or until the tops begin to brown. At this point your sliders will be crispy on top, and melty, roast beefy goodness in the middle. Cut along the bun lines and serve with your favorite football drinks and snacks (we served these last week with Buffalo Chicken Dip for a cheesy start to the season).
If you decide to take on this incredible challenge (challenge as in how challenging it will be NOT to eat them all) then please let us know and post a picture! If your making Chef Nick’s Spicy Sausage Dip send us that as well! Post here, tweet us @sunday_fantasy, or find us on Instagram (@sweetsweetfantastysunday)! We can’t wait to see what you cook up for another full Sunday slate of NFL games!

Reproductions of old masks that were actually worn in theater performances (or copied by ancient Romans over 2000 years ago) are available for very little cost. Different characters, gods and Roman emperors are made by skilled commercial artists around the world. I think that anyone who enjoys this site should have at least one of these affordable sculptures on a wall in their home.
My good friend, who is a retired classics professor, believes the two masks shown here are poor reproductions. I think they are still quite decorative, but if you are a classics scholar, search more carefully than I did. C

GIY KIT CONTENTS:
A biodegradable pot
HOW TO PLANT:
Unpack the kit. Fill your pot with the given growing medium (soil mix) and level the surface. Wet the growing medium with water to provide the right environment for seeds to germinate.
Sow seeds 1 and half inches deep and cover with a layer of soil. Water the seeds well and keep the soil moist until the seeds germinate.
The sprouts should emerge within 5 -10 days. Make sure that the growing medium stays moist.
Water regularly. Check the soil once or twice each day for moisture loss.
Watermelons grown in a pot will need to be watered daily or at least 1 to 2 inches of water per week. Keep the soil moist, but not waterlogged. Water at the vine’s base in the morning, and try to avoid wetting the leaves and overhead watering. Reduce watering once fruits are growing. Dry weather produces the sweetest melon.
When the seedlings have 3-5 leaves and reach 3-4 inches tall, you should transplant your entire biodegradable pot into desirable pot or space.
Before transplanting, keep two healthy plants and remove others. At the base of the soil, cut the weakest seedlings out. Be careful not to disturb the roots of the healthy plant. This process is called plant thinning and its a great way to ensure healthy growth.
Soil preparation for transplanting:
The soil mix for transplanting your Watermelon GIY Kit should be deep, loose, well-drained and rich in organic matter.
A rich soil mix will have the following:
Sand- 20-30%, good soil 40%, mixture of organic manure/ vermicompost/ neem khod/ divelikhod 30-40%.
GROWTH AND FRUITING:
As your plant grows, provide support to the plant for trellising or ground space for branch spreading.
Your plant should start flowering in 25-30 days and fruit should come in 40-50 days after planting seeds.
When your fruit starts setting, leave two to three fruits per plant. You will have to remove all the other fruits when they are small (just after fruit set) to ensure healthy growth. As fruit is growing, prevent rotting by gently lifting it and putting cardboard or straw betweenthe fruit and the soil.
In order for watermelons to grow well, it’s important to provide the right nutrients. Our Watermelon GIY kit contains organic micronutrients. Use them as per instructions. You can also use neem based bio-fertilizers and bio-pesticides, if necessary.
INSECTS AND DISEASES:
Keep an eye out for squash bugs, cucumber beetles, squash vine borers, and aphids. The best way to control these pests is to remove them by hand. You can also use a mixture of Neem Oil (2-3 mls) and water (1 ltr) and spray the plant weekly to avoid diseases and pests.

By Dawn Wolfe Gutterman
GENESEE TWP. – A sex sting operation by the Genesee County Sheriff’s department in response to allegations of public sex at a Richfield Township park has already resulted in one man losing his job and, could lead to job losses for two others arrested, if the American Family Association has its way.
Still, according to Triangle Foundation Executive Director Jeffrey Montgomery, “We’ve seen much worse.”
Montgomery explained remarks he made in a June 15 Flint Journal story saying that Genesee County Sheriff Robert J. Pickell “made an appropriate, moderate response to the situation,” of alleged public sex at Richfield County Park in Richfield Township.
“In this specific operation, the reason I say that it was moderate was that [Sheriff Pickell] has not been inclined to release the names of the men arrested. He charged them with pretty ambivalent charges – I think he charged them with disorderly conduct, he didn’t charge them with a charge that suggested sex,” Montgomery told BTL on June 22.
“In other jurisdictions we’ve seen much worse – much more dire consequences than we have here,” Montgomery added.
Montgomery has years of experience investigating such sting operations for Triangle and is familiar with how they are often conducted.
“They dress up a good-looking man, who goes into these places and engage men in conversation about sex – and when the conversation turns specific they arrest them,” he said.
“The problem is that between two consenting adults conversation is not illegal. No money is involved, so it’s not even a case of soliciting,” he added.
Montgomery claimed that before the June 14 meeting he had with Pickell at the sheriff’s request, the sheriff promised to show photographic proof that public sexual activity was occurring at the park.
“And then we were there, and he produced photographs of these guys being arrested but they were all clothed, and there were no big X-rated photos produced,” Montgomery said. “The sheriff says that in spite of that his guys claim that at least in one of these arrests there was certainly exposure of genitals. So that’s the sheriff’s claims … They weren’t able to find the photo that they said proved public sexual conduct.”
According to Pickell, however, “One of [the men arrested] wanted to have sex in the car, right there.”
Pickell said his office was responding to “numerous complaints from families” in initiating the sting operation.
“It was a moderate response to a problem where we had numerous complaints from families,” Pickell said. “I didn’t charge them with a sex crime because I didn’t want to get them on the [sex offender] registry. I wasn’t out there pro-actively going out looking for it, I was reacting to complaints.” Pickell said the actual charge was “disorderly person.”
“It’s not a gay issue, it’s not a homosexual issue. The issue is that you can’t have sex in the park, whether you’re a homosexual or a heterosexual,” he added.
Pickell insisted that those arrested solicited his officers to have sex in the park, as opposed to going together to a private location.
Pickell has guarded his neutrality in the case since the uproar began. According to a June 16 Flint Journal report, the sheriff declined to take part in an AFA press conference about the arrests.
“I don’t want to take sides,” the paper quoted Pickell as saying. “I’ve got to worry about the law.”
The man who has already been fired, a Genesee county employee, “is adamant that he was the victim of a conversation initiated by the decoy,” Montgomery said. Montgomery added that the fired sting victim is “eager to talk after the legal hurdles are over.”
Those arrested in the sting may not be talking yet, but the American Family Association is. Seemingly eager to be part of the story, the anti-gay group met with Pickell the day after Montgomery’s meeting with the sheriff, according to the June 15 Flint Journal story. And despite the fact that the men who were arrested have not been convicted of any crime, the AFA is demanding that two of the men, who are purportedly public school employees, be suspended.
On one of its web site links about the sting, under the heading “What the AFA wants,” the organization said it will “seek the suspension of two school employees Ñ a teacher and assistant principal Ñ arrested in the operation,” and “ask local news media to inform parents if school employees were among those arrested.”

Get Pregnant With PCOS
Polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) is one of the most common causes of infertility in women. Fortunately, it is also one of the most treatable conditions. If you’re trying to get pregnant with PCOS, it’s imperative that you know your treatment options so that your road to parenthood can be as smooth as possible. Keep reading to find tips on get pregnant with–and despite–PCOS.
1. Put your lifestyle in check. Most women with PCOS will notice an increase in fertility after changing their diet and exercise regimen. A 5 percent loss in body weight will make a big difference to their overall fertility and minimize the risk of gestational diabetes once they do become pregnant. Eating a diet low in fat and carbohydrates will help regulate insulin levels and help manage weight gain.
2. Take the right medications. Taking medication designed to treat insulin resistance is the first stepping stone to getting pregnant with PCOS. You should expect to take a drug like metformin for three to 6 months before adding other treatment options, since it takes a while to fully kick in.
3. Get help ovulating. PCOS women have difficulty ovulating properly; so you may have to use drugs such as Clomid to stimulate ovulation. Your doctor may also prescribe injections such as an HCG shot to further stimulate your ovaries.
4. Time it correctly. Taking your basal body temperature and charting it will help you determine the optimum time for conception. Your doctor can help explain when you and your partner should have intercourse, but it’s typically the four days surrounding ovulation.
5. Give your partner a little help. Once the doctor determines that you’re ovulating correctly, she may order intrauterine inseminations (IUI’s). This will make it easier for your partner’s sperm to reach your egg and increase your chance of conception.
6. Call in the professionals. If after a set amount of time none of the above attempts work, your doctor will ask you to consider in vitro fertilization, IVF, as an option.


To answer climate emergency, let’s turn the principle of living well into a reality together! 1
Since the industrial revolution, the health condition of the planet has been declining at a frenetic rate and thus contributing to the reinforcement of inequalities. Under the pressure of human activities, natural resources are getting scarce, biodiversity is being eroded, soils are turning artificial, chemical and toxic pollution are increasing, water quality is decreasing whereas waste is accumulating. Some major issues have started to emerge, such as climate change, nuclear risk, GMOs, and ecological emergency is a reality that scientific indicators remind us every day.
The 5th report of the International panel of experts on climate change (IPCC) released on September 2013 is very clear : if we do not act in a significant way in order to reduce global greenhouse gases emissions, the average temperature could increase up to 5,5°C from now to the end of the century. In other words, we are far from the + 2°C threshold not to exceed so as to avoid a runaway climate change. The consequences would be dramatic for all territories and populations, and more particularly the most vulnerable ones.
A radical change of orientation to combine social justice and the ecological imperative
Even though successive governments « generously » give in some little measures, it is obviously not enough. Indeed, to face ecological and climate emergency, the policy of one step at a time is outdated and a radical change of system is required.
On October 2013, Alternatiba Bayonne successfully launched the beginning of the mobilisation and called for the multiplication of other initiatives until the International Conference on Climate Change that will be held in Paris in 2015 (Conference of the Parties-COP 21).
This is the reason why we have also decided to organise a joyful mobilization aimed at claiming for change, which will take place in Bordeaux (capital of the Gironde region) during the autumn 2014: an « Alternatiba Gironde » that will take the form of a village where will be found utopian ideas turned into reality as well as numerous individual, collective and territorial initiatives and actions aimed at facing the ecological and social crisis.
Its objective is triple:
Inform regarding climate emergency and the need to decrease quickly and drastically our greenhouse gases emissions. Raise awareness on the dramatic consequences of the possible absence of an ambitious and fair international agreement on climate. On this specific point, the challenge is to mobilise massively for the COP 21 that will take place in France in 2015.
Call for a quick commitment for transition in order to answer social and ecological emergency.
Target indifference and resignation showing that a lot of solutions do exist and that they create jobs and defend a friendly and united world, both at the international and local levels.
It is also necessary to condemn the wrong industrial choices (nuclear energy, agrofuels, non-conventional hydrocarbons, carbon markets, GMOs, geoengineering, etc.) defended by promoters that, most of the time, are the main beneficiaries. In the end, all these false solutions turn out to be inefficient, expensive and dangerous. Besides, they also prevent real solutions such as sobriety, reuse and renewable energies to emerge and expand.
It is high time to bring forward the numerous alternatives and different projects carried out locally by individuals, organisations, cooperatives, local governments, etc, and that enable to reduce both the climatic footprint and social inequalities. If it succeeds in taking importance, this deep social movement will contribute to generate in fine the “living well together”.
The concerned areas and solutions to imagine are many and varied : sobriety and renewable energies, territories in transition, relocalisation of the economy, the fight against energetic precarity, social and solidarity economy, peasant agriculture, ethical finance, international solidarity, waste reduction, recovery and reuse, individual know-how, riding bicycles, walking, using sustainable mobility, ecological habitats, the fight against the artificialisation of soils, the fight against large useless imposed projects, the defense of biodiversity, the promotion of free software culture, the resistance to publicity aggression, art and ecology, etc.
If you feel concerned, do not hesitate in joining the Alternatiba gironde dynamic.
Alternatives do exist, they only need to be reinforced, developed and multiplied!
As an association, group or organisation, you can sign and support the call. Thanks for sending an email to : firstname.lastname@example.org
If you do not belong to an organization but want to join us, please, fill in the contact form and you will be welcome as well!
1 Freely inspired by the Alternatiba Bayonne call (October 2013)

- The “highly competitive” global market to capture foreign travelers “is sensitive to new and evolving security protocols.” The comments also address the department’s proposal to require all visitors seeking a U.S. visa – about 15 million applicants each year – to provide extensive information on social media use, history of international travel, and other matters. Currently, only a much smaller subset of visa applicants identified as presenting a “threat profile” to national security must answer these questions.
- “New requirements that make it more challenging to obtain U.S. visas can affect the willingness and interest of international travelers to visit the United States rather than other countries,” the coalition wrote. “Safeguarding national security and growing the U.S. economy by encouraging international visitors are compatible, significant objectives. America can be both the most secure and the most visited country in the world.”
- Noting that the U.S. has attracted 7.4 million fewer overseas travelers in 2016-2017 – with corollary declines in visitor spending at American hotels, resorts, stores and attraction properties – the coalition urged the State Department to re-think its “enhanced vetting” proposal.
- The comments also explained that the dip in the U.S. share of the global travel market hinders the Trump Administration’s foreign trade goals. “Money spent here by foreign travelers counts as an export for the United States; indeed, international travel is our country’s largest export of services accounting for $245 billion in total travel exports, and the second largest of any economic sector,” the coalition wrote.
Roundtable Panel on Enhancing International Travel and Tourism
- The Trump Administration also announced this week that it will begin limiting the length of validity for some visas issued to Chinese citizens, starting June 11. (Bloomberg, May 29)
- To address policies that may encourage or discourage in-bound travel to the U.S.– as well as the impact of the travel and tourism market on CRE – The Roundtable will host a panel discussion during its June 14 Annual Meeting.
The American Hotel & Lodging Association and the U.S. Travel Association lead the multi-industry VisitUS coalition, which also includes the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and the American Resort Development Association. (VisitU.S. Policy Agenda, Roundtable Weekly, March 2)

Funding for television content in Argentina has always been a challenge: the few private broadcasters that commission do so mainly in house or with associated production companies. This has kept independent producers out of the market, and limited the quantity of hours produced. A new initiative has been created by the INCAA (Argentine Film Board, responsible for financing most films made in Argentina) that will encourage the growth of independent film and documentaries by finding them homes on public and private television.
The INCAA will fund hundreds of hours of new television series, allowing smaller production companies, who have previously focused on films, to enter the market.
The initiative will offer coverage and exposure for independent film makers to develop and encourage new talent across Argentina, as well as creating much more television content, ranging from “telenovelas” with social themes to dramas, comedies and factual series.
To quote Charles Newberry from The Variety he explains how “The initiative came from a state initiative to finance indie programs to fill the slates of Pubcasters –and eventually a state DTT network – spawning the production of 220 series in 2011; an estimated 300 are in the pipeline for this year”. With exciting statistics the prospect of film here in Argentina looks hopeful.
Telenovela writer Jorge Maestro wholly supports the idea says “This is the road we need to take to develop talent.” Gonzalo Ferrari Nicolay is an example of some exciting new talent discovered by the program. To quote Charles Newberry “After a change of career, he got his big break as a producer when he won a DTT commission for historical documentary “The Broken Wing: The Life of Jorge Newbery” a famous Argentine aviator (and namesake of the BsAs domestic airport). The project had been pitched to various big wigs but no-one took an interest. With state financing, the documentary was aired this year.
Television viewers have also enjoyed a boom in new series: whereas many broadcasters have offered mainly magazine and news content (with a lot of gossip and pretty girls mixed in) this year these same broadcasters are now showing original factual and fiction programming. “Canal 9”, which offered no original fiction programming for almost five years, now offers fictional series of high quality that were funded by the INCAA. The goal is that this content and/or the formats can be exported overseas (Argentina has traditionally exported children´s and telenovela formats).
Foreign producers should note that there are also opportunities for funding of international co-productions. At San Telmo Productions, we are working on developing narrative content to present in the upcoming calls for projects.
Read the full article at:
Following a similar initiative last year, the Argentine Government has announced the second edition of a national competition to produce content to be shown on the country’s digital terrestrial television (DTT) platform.
Called Prime Time 2012, the competition will select eight original fictional TV series of up to 13 episodes of 48 minutes each. They will have to be produced in Full HD, with eligible participants restricted to national free-to-air channels and TV production companies partnering with a free-to-air channel.
The competition is being jointly run by the Advising Council for SATVD-T (Argentinean System for Digital Terrestrial Television) and the National Interuniversity Council (CIN).
Those interested in participating will need get on writing their scripts, though, as applications will only be received between the 24th of January and the 3rd of February, 2012. Terms and conditions are available on www.cin.edu.ar and www.tda.gob.ar.

Seven Delawareans have passed away due to complications from COVID-19, with the most recent death a 92-year-old woman from Sussex County who had significant underlying health conditions, state health officials announced March 30. The source of exposure is currently under investigation.
The Division of Public Health reports 264 total laboratory-confirmed cases in the state since March 11. This includes 32 additional cases since March 29. Of the Delawareans diagnosed with COVID-19, 156 are from New Castle County, 27 are from Kent County, and 81 are from Sussex County.
Of the 264 cases, 130 are male and 134 are female. The individuals fall in the age range of 1 to 95. Forty-six individuals are currently hospitalized; 14 are critically ill. The source of exposure for many of these positive cases is unknown, which indicates community spread of the virus is occurring in the state.
Twenty-two Delaware residents have recovered from COVID-19. Delaware is considering patients fully recovered seven days after the resolution of their symptoms. Three days after symptoms resolve, patients are no longer required to self-isolate at home; however, they must continue to practice strict social distancing for the remaining four days before returning to their normal daily routine.
The governor’s state of emergency, calls for all Delawareans to stay home, except if your business has been deemed essential. The order allows Delawareans who need to see a doctor, pick up a prescription, buy groceries, or engage in other activities essential to their health to leave their residences. If you are sick with any symptoms, including fever, cough, shortness of breath, sore throat and muscle fatigue, stay home.
For individuals who are sick, stay home and contact your primary care provider for guidance regarding symptoms and next steps. DPH urges individuals who are sick, even with mild symptoms that would be present with a cold or flu, to stay home to help prevent the spread of illness to others.
Statewide testing at standing health facility testing sites require a physician’s order or prescription to be tested. Bayhealth patients will be pre-screened via phone without needing to see a provider first. These are not walk-in testing sites. Those without a primary care provider can call the DPH Call Center Line at 1-866-408-1899. Individuals awaiting test results, should wait to hear back from their medical provider. The DPH Call Center does not have test results. Delawareans with general questions about COVID-19 or their exposure risk can call the Division of Public Health’s Coronavirus Call Center at 1-866-408-1899, or 711 for individuals who are hearing-impaired, from 8:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Friday, and 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday and Sunday. Questions can also be submitted by email at DPHCall@delaware.gov.

The mystery of the mother-son murder case in Kolkata, West Bengal India is being solved within a week. Six days after the horrific murder of Sushmita Mondal and her 13-year-old son Tamajit, two of her cousins were on Sunday arrested for allegedly killing the duo, Kolkata police said.
The Joint Commissioner of Police, Crime Branch -Murlidhar Sharma said the main accused Sanjay Das had confessed to the murder during cross-examination on Saturday night. The detainees will be taken to court on Monday.
According to police sources, Sanjay and Sandeep Das, residents of Shampur Ghoshpara in Maheshtala police station area in Kolkata are the cousin brothers of Sushmita Mandal.
Investigators said they had been thinking of Sanjay’s role since the starting of the investigation. He was later arrested from his home on Saturday night. The interrogation continued in Lalbazar, Kolkata Police Headquarters till Saturday midnight and Sanjay confessed to the murder at around 2am.
What was the motive of the murder and how they did it? Sanjay, who was arrested by the police, said that he had been suffering from financial problems for some time. Lots were borrowed. There was no way he could solve the problem. Meanwhile, his cousin sister Sushmita’s financial condition was much better and she likes to buy gold jewelries.
Prime facie evidence and information gathered from the interrogation suggests that they killed them because of money,” Joint Commissioner of Police, Crime, Murlidhar Sharma said. “They thought that Sushmita Mondal, who had the habit of accumulating gold, might have a huge amount of jewellery in her house. They killed her for that. The son was murdered as he – doing online classes at that time – became witness to the murder.”
It is learned that on that day (Monday, September 6 at around 12:30 pm), Sanjay and Sandeep went to their cousin sister Sushmita’s house. Because, they knew that Sushmita Devi’s husband will not be at home at that time. Susmita was naturally happy to see her cousin brothers. At that time his son Tamojit was doing online class in the next room. Sushmita Devi also closed the door of the next room so that her son’s online class would not be harmed due to their chit-chats . On that day, Sanjay and Sandip asked for money and she, however, refused to give more. Then when she went to make tea for them, Sanjay slit her throat and then to be sure, he started stabbing her. The son, who was doing his online class, came out of his room and saw the murder. The two brothers then killed him also,” the police said.
Again the Kolkata Police done wonder as witin 06 days, they are able to solve the mystery of duo murder.

This thing we do where we get in the back of pickup trucks and photograph our friends riding bikes up hills
by Luke Batten
The heroes had an opportunity to be in Boulder, Colorado this past weekend. We knew it would be a quick trip but why not bring our bikes? and why not ask Dani Smith to come with us? Some of you may know Dani from our Instagram feed. She is a friend of TSH and one of our sponsored riders. We met her last autumn during her inaugural season racing cyclocross where she just happened to win the Pro 123 State Championship while racing for Sammy’s bikes (now EGO presented by Sammy’s Bikes) in St. Charles, Illinois. Her big year inspired us because beyond Dani learning the ropes and winning the big prize, we also caught glimpses of her hanging out with Junior boys and girls and making them feel at ease before and after races. That is a Hero in our book so we called her a few weeks after her win and asked if she would join TSH in 2014 in tackling America and Europe’s notable climbs. She visited our studio during the cold months of Winter and we hit it off right away. To say we are lucky to share Tenspeed Hero with this 24 year old racer from Illinois would be an understatement. Climbing is not a skill one can develop easily while growing up in the Chicago area and that makes our relationship/project with her a bit special. It will be a summer of firsts, adventure and challenges for Dani and TSH!
After riding up Four Mile Canyon and the joy of coming down Sunshine Canyon on our first day, we met up with Kevin from Mosaic Cycles who served as inspirational coach and local guide of Flagstaff Mountain. Such a good man! and from the back of a Ford 150 we tried to capture one young racer’s first climb of Flagstaff. We wonder how many people have had their first climb up this hill? How many people have climbed it in the day and a half since we left? How many young racers could see their career opening up for them on their third ascent of the day. So nice to have this little and big hill right out your back door! Thank You Boulder!
Lets go climb mountains. Big and Small! From the Bottom to the Top of Flagstaff in 6 images!
To the Mail Boxes!
Ride Report: The red light on lower Flagstaff sadly messed with Dani’s Strava time. Total elapsed time was 36:01! We think we need to come back this summer to set things straight. Anyone have access to the stoplight switch?

I don't know what Mariah Carey is doing to her face these days, but someone needs to tell her to STOP! The 44-year-old diva has been posting pictures to Instagram that have me seriously concerned. In one photo Mariah's forehead looks crazy tight, like she just had a facelift or something. I could hardly recognize her. It sort of has me wondering if she's gone under the knife lately. If you really think hard about it, Mariah looks absolutely nothing like how she used to when her career first started. Everything looks different--from her boobs, to her nose, even her face shape! What the hell is she doing?
