As part of the centennial year, New Era will also partner with the Buffalo History Museum to present the first comprehensive exhibit for the brand. Opening in Buffalo, NY late Fall 2020, the exhibit will feature never-before-seen artifacts from the brand’s archives – showcasing over 150 pieces from its 100-year history tracing back to the first Gatsby-style hat to the first baseball hat worn on the field to the first international apparel collection.

Today, Wine Enthusiast – the leading authority on all things wine – released its highly anticipated travel guide. Unlike years past, the completely rethought feature showcases seven wine experiences, rather than destinations, to give readers an immersive perspective on wine and wine travel from those that know vino best. The digital feature is available online here and the print issue will be on newsstands in February.

Curated by Wine Enthusiast’s intrepid global editors, the list takes readers on a journey from the vineyards of Mendoza, Argentina to the soils of Piedmont, Italy to the rolling surf breaks of Margaret River, Australia, and beyond. A quick list of experiences include:

Touring the Storied Cellars of Champagne, France
- Located beneath the picturesque landscapes of Champagne lies a cavernous network of tunnels and caves known as Champagne’s crayères. Originally constructed by Romans to quarry chalk, the system has had many uses over the years, including wine storage for Benedictine monks and housing for hidden cities of French citizens when Germany occupied the area during World War I.
Safari and Wine Experiences in South Africa
- As South African wine entered a new era, so, too, did the safari experience—especially once legacy and avant-garde wine producers who raised quality began to capture the attention of beverage directors at game lodges. If an ideal vacation includes a Kruger game drive followed by sunset sips of the country’s best Chenin Blanc, guests can now turn that dream into a reality.
Wine and Surf in Australia’s Margaret River Region
- This Western Australia wine region, located about three hours south of Perth, offers a number of welcoming wineries set amid beautiful beaches. Featuring a plethora of surf schools, tasting tours and an annual professional surfing competition, Margaret River offers the perfect locale to sip and surf the day away.
Be Winemaker for a Day in Napa Valley, California
- Step into the shoes of a winemaker during a trip to Napa Valley, California – known as one of the world’s top wine destinations. Whether considering a career change or looking to hone a new skill, guests will have the opportunity to learn from successful wine makers at some of the most breathtaking vineyards.

“This year, we focus on specific wine-centric experiences that aren’t just about location, but about the deeper insight and excitement that wine lovers in the know can find in those regions,” says Susan Kostrzewa, Editor-in-Chief of Wine Enthusiast. “Our editors travel extensively and have access to incredible insider adventures; this list makes those available to anyone eager for discovery in and beyond the glass.”

Pabst’s Milwaukee Taproom Will Re-Open as Captain Pabst’s Pilot House

Leave a reply

Pioneered by Captain Frederick Pabst, Pabst Brewing Company (Pabst) has been brewing beer since the late 1800s. 175 years later, the Captain’s vision, foresight, and commitment to excellence transformed a small-scale brewery into one of the nation’s largest and most admired. Today, driven by these same inspirations, Pabst proudly unveils a new luxury beer brand, Captain Pabst, and launches with its flagship IPA, Seabird.

Seabird is a highly sessionable, premium India Pale Ale, brewed with Magnum, Citra, Cascade, and Mosaic hops. The beer takes its name from Captain Fredrick Pabst’s last steamship, which was a catalyst in his decision to enter the beer business. Caught near the shore in December of 1863 during an unexpected storm, Captain Fredrick Pabst strategically beached “The Seabird” on the sands of Whitefish Bay on Lake Michigan without casualties. With irreversible damage to The Seabird, Captain Pabst made the fateful decision to walk away from the sea. Hanging up his captain hat, he purchased a brewery that would eventually bare his name and deliver some of the most iconic American beer brands of all time.

Seabird is available now, as a Midwest exclusive, for sale across Wisconsin and the greater Chicago area.

“We’re lucky enough to be the stewards of so many great, classic American trademarks. But none of those marks really highlight the person or the people that founded the original brands,” said Matt Bruhn, Pabst General Manager. “We thought creating something new, based on someone who played such an integral part in pioneering brewing in this country, was a really romantic and deserving story that consumers would be interested in hearing.”

Pabst is also transforming its taproom in Milwaukee and relaunching it as Captain Pabst’s Pilot House. The taproom offers a beer hall experience in the heart of Milwaukee, Pabst’s hometown, fit to honor the Captain and the brewing traditions that have lasted over a century.

“Captain Frederick Pabst was wild; his life was filled with random endeavors that all seemed to stem from his adventurous spirit and his willingness to push the boundaries. To do things right, but differently. Here at Pabst we can certainly appreciate a life lived that way – it’s closely aligned to our values” added Bruhn.

The Pilot House will focus on imaginative craft beer offerings while paying homage to Captain Pabst’s historic recipes. In addition to Seabird, the Captain Pabst Signature Series will feature new and exciting, quality brews the Captain would have crafted generations ago. Beyond beer, the venue experience includes the addition of a craft spirits program, where spirits are blended and barrel aged in-house, an expanded merch offering, and a loyalty program called the “Blue Jacket Club.”

The Captain Pabst Pilot House will have its grand opening and reveal March 28, 2020 – Captain Pabst’s 184th birthday.

CADILLAC XT4 SPORT AWD

“Spunky with muscle tone and loads of curb appeal!” – 360 MAGAZINE

By Krishan Narsinghani × Vivek Lalchandani × Vaughn Lowery

Big, boujee, and imposing. Three words which are normally used to describe Cadillac SUVs. With more people buying smaller SUVs and crossovers rather than sedans, Cadillac had no choice but to roll out this new compact crossover. So, can the XT4 AWD hold its weight in this ultra-competitive market?

Design

Let’s start with playing the shield game, ever heard of it? Try counting how many Cadillac shields you can find on the vehicle – let’s keep a count. Starting out front and center is the signature Cadillac emblem located inside, you guessed it, a shield shaped grill (2). Admittedly it looks terrific and adds the touch of luxury that Cadillac loyalists expect. Outlining the grill are full LED headlights across all trims with signature lobster claw lookin’ DRLs. Looking at the side profile, the XT4 has one of the best profiles of any compact crossover out there. It’s slightly boxy like other Cadillac crossovers and SUVs but still has curves and swooping lines like its European competitors, the Audi Q3, BMW X1/X2 and the Range Rover Evoque. All XT4s come standard with 18” wheels but 20” inch wheels are optional. Also visible from the side profile are two more logos prominent on each front fender (4). Wrap around to the back to find full LED vertical taillights wrapping around slightly to the side of the vehicle. They work well on the XT4, making it appear bigger and wider. An interesting attention to detail is the two lower trims, Luxury and Premium Luxury, come with red taillight lenses whereas the top Sport trim comes standard with clear taillight lenses to add to the sporty aesthetic. Below is a dual exit exhaust setup with a single tip for each side. Rounding off the rear is the Cadillac shield placed right above the license plate which is placed within another shield shaped cutout (6). Overall, the XT4 is a very handsome breed that exudes luxury and sportiness.

Interior

The XT4’s interior is a much-needed upgrade over the past piano black cladded plastic feel. The soft touch materials, soft leather seats (ventilated and heated) and design integrate well with the exterior design. Slide back the shade over the sunroof and watch the white leather pop – making the interior feel airy and open. This must have sunroof is unacceptably optional. The design is refreshingly modern and upscale with a minimalistic approach. Cadillac nailed the balance between on screen vs. physical buttons… there’s even a volume knob! Step into the backseat and you’ll find class leading rear leg room. It’s a six foot passenger’s dream come true. The materials get slightly worse in the rear of the cabin but not obnoxiously. The rear passengers get their own climate control zone, lined up to resemble our favorite logo (7).

Technology

Looking into the Cadillac User Experience (CUE) infotainment system, Cadillac has come a long way in intuitiveness and display quality. The system is very easy to use with either the touchscreen or the control knob like its European competitors. Climate controls have their own set of physical buttons also lined up to resemble the Cadillac shield (8). The fully integrated display is cleaner than the stuck-on tablet looks of many vehicles nowadays. Its only downside must be that the screen is slightly tilted away from the driver attracting potential glare. CUE also supports Apple CarPlay and Android Auto with one touch NFC pairing for the latter. Optional features include a head up display, digital gauge cluster, thirteen speaker Bose Centerpoint audio system, wireless phone charging, massaging front seats, and a rear view camera built into the rear view mirror that resembles a Cadillac shield (9).

Safety

Standard safety features include automatic emergency braking and rear park assist. Level up to the premium luxury trim and you get front and rear park assist, lane change alert with blind spot alert, and rear cross traffic alert. Other optional safety features include adaptive cruise control, lane keep assist with lane departure warning, automatic high beams, advanced adaptive cruise control, and enhanced automatic emergency braking. Unfortunately, Super Cruise from Cadillac is not available. XT4 follows suit with its GM siblings by alerting the driver of blind spot detections and lane departure warnings with the vibration of the driver’s seat.

Performance

Cadillac has made a name for itself in driving performance and the XT4 does not disappoint. Using a 2.0-liter turbocharged engine, the XT4 makes 237hp at 5000rpm and 258 lb/ft torque from a respectable 1500rpm. That’s 0-60 in 7.5 seconds. Not bad for the 3600lbs being carried plus a slight disadvantage due to the shape being less aerodynamic than rivals. Handling feel is good for a crossover and it rides very well on the 20-inch wheels. Stick with the 18s and expect a very comfortable and cushy ride. Go with the 20s and opt for the active sport suspension to get the best ‘drivers’ version of this vehicle. Heck you should be able to keep up with a base model Dodge Charger on a rainy day. All in all, casual drivers should have enough power and handling feel to fulfill their needs. Fuel economy is everything in today’s age and eco-goers can appreciate the fuel consumption of this one The FWD models get 24/30 city/highway while AWD models get 22/29 city/highway. The AWD system Cadillac threw at this is interesting in that it’s a dual clutch setup, enabling it to disconnect power going to the rear wheels to help fuel economy.

Overview

In a saturated market, 360 Magazine can confidently say the XT4 drives for comfort, boasts luxury, and combats rivals with dashing looks. One may argue that Cadillac has never built a crossover or SUV that truly belonged in the same conversation as major German or British players but now we have a winner. If you want a crossover that will haul your family, let others know you made it, and provides a fabulous trip experience, Cadillac will gladly sell you this one. Pricing begins at a reasonable $35,600 base. Counting nine shields on this vehicle, not including the logo on the wheels and the steering wheel (surely we missed a few), the branding imposes itself on consumers and spectators.

4 Signs How To Know You Are A Perfect Match

Leave a reply

Are we compatible? This is a very vital question anyone in a relationship ought to ask, especially if the relationship gets serious. But unfortunately, some couples carry on with each other and blinded to the fact that they’re not a relationship match. So we see them move from “wedding congratulations” to “I want a divorce” in a heartbeat.

So if you’re still in the relationship stage, pause today and ask your self — how compatible are we? Do we make a good couple or are we a good match? With these in mind, step into this post and let’s talk, showing you strong compatibility signs.

Strangers like friends

Have you ever experienced a vibing with someone that’s so natural you get lost in the convo? You only met them for the first time, but your flow is so seamless, it feels you’ve known forever. You don’t run out of things to talk about and you feel so relaxed that you are yourself around them. You’re so comfortable around them that you find yourself talking about stuff you’ll naturally shy away from with others.

That’s a very strong sign right there that you shouldn’t ignore. Although there is more to being compatible that having great flow together. It’s something to note if you’re considering getting serious. This is because spending your life with someone you can’t have a great conversation with will make you miserable.

Again, if you have to be so cautious around them or go silent because there’s nothing to talk about. Then you’ve not found your partner. Keep looking and don’t settle, there’s someone for you.

You love talking about the same things

Although variety is the spice of life, in relationships you have to be as similar as possible. We mean, loving almost the same things. How about a situation where everything your partner talks about leaves you cold. Neither of you has interests in what the other enjoys doing. No single area of overlap for both of you. That’s a disaster waiting to happen.

When a couple share love for the same topics and discourse, they don’t need to try keeping convos alive. They both get excited and engrossed with whatever they’re talking about. The conversations take a life of its own and the time keeps running.

Have you ever had a chat with a friend and you’re not in a hurry to end it? Or you look at the time and it’s hours since you started talking? And you don’t know where the time went. That’s compatibility and it gives you something to look forward to.

They take humor as good as they can give

A great sense of humor plays a vital role in every healthy relationship. Listen to some couples we tag “bae goals” and you’d always hear, he/she makes me laugh. Forever is too long to live with a straight face all the time. Your partner should be able to make you laugh till your muscles hurt. They should also be able to undertake your jokes and deal with the witty part of you.

A lot of people are quite sensitive and can never take a joke to save their lives. They either get offended when jokes are made or they just mope at you because they don’t get it. If you’re blessed with wit and are very goofy, please keep moving.

You’ve not found the one, because people like this will kill your vibe. They will suppress your bubbly spirit. You need all the humor in the world to get by each day.

Their personality is perfect for you

We all have that friend that’s so perfect we feel very comfortable with them. We can tell them everything and do everything them, but… They remain in the friend zone. We are not even tempted to cross the boundaries of friendship into anything more serious. This is simply saying they have a great personality but they aren’t perfect for you.

Then there are other people who have great personalities. We want to do everything with them and be with them always. We want to wake up to them and get into something serious, including visiting base without remorse. They say something and it’s so funny to you. You see the best in every one of their little gestures.

They awaken the butterflies in your tummy with their personalities. They do things that seem ordinary to others but amazing to you, and you know that they’re perfect. That’s it! Go for it! You found the one!

“Are we compatible?” is a question everyone in a serious relationship should be asking. See our helpful answers in the post.

Do You Really Need A Lift Kit And How Much Will It Cost You?

Leave a reply

What will you pay for a Lift Kit Installation?

With so many fantastic options out there like the Rough Country Canada lift kit from Just Jeep, it can be difficult to find the lift kit you believe to be the optimal choice for you. It’s also crucial to consider how much money it will take to actually install the lift kit in order to make the right choice. Furthermore, depending on which one you have decided upon, the actual amount of time it may take to complete the process of installation will still largely depend on how many individuals there are to give you a hand. This is also an expense to look out for, as getting the kit installed professionally ranges from $400-$1200.

Different Lift Kit Forms

Generally speaking, there are two forms of lift kits available, that work with the suspension in different manners and vary in cost.

Body Lift Kits and Their Cost

A body lift kit will impact the height in which the cabin of your vehicle is situated, while the suspension frame is kept as is, giving the option of more sizeable tires. this does not influence ground clearance however, so the undercarriage is no more protected. Due to fewer pieces required for installation, this kit is often less pricey compared to others.

Body Lift Kits and Their Cost

Alternatively, suspension lift kits will often cost more but can provide more bang for your buck. These kits elevate the whole vehicle, such as the suspension system and frame, giving more clearance off the ground as well as allowing for bigger tires. These are ideal for those who enjoy off-roading due to their capabilities. However, they can run you from $300-$2,000, on top of an additional $400-1,200 depending on the kit you purchase and the installation services you opt for.

Additional Expenses

Alteration to the suspension or ride of the automobile will require alignment by a professional. This can cost roughly $80-$200 so it is useful to leave some extra money to work with because this should be done quickly after installing the lift kit.

To ensure smoothen the installation process, there are some tools you may need to purchase in order to work quickly and more efficiently. Notably, you can also rent or borrow tools to save some extra cash.

List of tools needed:

First off, it is generally advisable to at minimum have a few important tools with you to complete this project such as

jacks and jack stands (that can be used on the particular weight of the automobile)
various sized nuts and bolts
screwdrivers
wrenches

Additionally, the following items will also prove useful during installation

a torque wrench
hammer
lubricant
tire stops
spring clamps
a breaker bar
PB blaster
tools for tire removal

How to decarb cannabis to release its psychoactive ingredient

Leave a reply

What is the process of decarboxylation or decarbing cannabis? Learn about the active elements of cannabis.

When you’ve ever thought about how to decarb wax; have you been aware that the cannabis plant in its natural form is not psychoactive? As it naturally grows, there is no tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), the psychoactive element of weed, in the cannabis plant.

It is only when it is heated, during a process of decarboxylation that it becomes ‘active’. Heating converts inactive THCA into active THC. Get this bit right and you’re on your way to ‘how to decarb wax’.

But, what if you are not going to burn your weed to get high? You will have to carry out a separate process of decarb by putting your weed in the oven; even before you use it in cannabis edibles.

How does this work? Well, the heat removes carboxyl from the THCA which then transforms into psychoactive THC. The same process is carried from CBDA to CBD.

What’s Best; Decarbed to Raw Weed?

You want to use decarbed cannabis to get the benefits of THC and CBD. However, there are benefits also from the non-active THCA and CBDA. These both have anti-inflammatory properties that can be of benefit for medical purposes.

To enjoy these benefits you need to take your weed directly from the fresh plant. Do not dry or cure them and, if you want to store them for a few days, you can put them in a fridge. You should not refrigerate them for more than a few days, however. So, it is best to mix it up as a smoothie or tea. If you are going to mix it with a tea or hot drink, be careful as decarbing can occur with the high temperature.

As well as THCA and CBDA, raw weed contains terpenes and phytonutrients which are both healthy and provide non-psychoactive benefits. Because of this, they can be used in treating illnesses or ailments in children.

In its raw form, cannabis contains hundreds of non-psychoactive cannabinoids, the most abundant of which is THCA. For this reason, many people prefer actual cannabis to synthetic THC in some medications. These tend to have just delta 8 THC, without the other beneficial elements of fresh weed.

Decarbing not only activates THCA to THC; it also transforms CBDA into CBD and carries out a similar process with other cannabinoids.

What Temperature Does Decarboxylation Take Place In An Oven?

The required temperature for decarbing in an oven depends upon the time you want to spend on the process. It also depends on what sort of flavour you want from your decarbed weed.

Decarbing at lower temperatures for a longer time will preserve terpenes, making your weed smell and taste better.

A common method of decarbing is as follows:

Preheat your oven to 220 – 300F
Break up your weed into small pieces
Spread the pieces onto a baking tray
Heat for 30-60 minutes
Remove tray from the oven
Allow to cool
Grind by hand; with a grinder; or food processor.

Your decarbed weed should now be coarsely ground, but not to a powder. You can now use your THC-laden weed through a variety of consumption methods.

CITY GIRLS × BILLBOARD

Leave a reply

City Girls have done things few female hip-hop duos or groups have managed, and as their momentum continues to rise Billboard magazine chose to recognize them as the face of what’s to break in 2020 as they continue their trail-blazing winning streak and reach new heights.

The duo, comprised of JT and Yung Miami, has become one of the most successful female hip-hop duos in the history of the Billboard charts. Racking up more than 1.3 BILLION streams, a pair of certified-Platinum Top 40 hits, becoming the #6 most played artist on urban radio (with singles “Twerk” and “Act Up” reaching #1 at Urban Radio), and raves from critics world-wide. City Girls will continue to dominate in 2020. They recently released “You Tried It” off their highly anticipated album which is coming soon.

Ratchet, brilliant, and sometimes both at the same time and sometimes neither at all, these women are showing up and doing the work, wrote The New Yorker. The ascent of the City Girls is one of the most unlikely success stories of the past years, with JT sitting in federal prison in Tallahassee, Fl, turning herself in for fraud in July 2018, the same day Drake’s massive #1 smash “In My Feelings featuring the City Girls was released. Yung Miami held down the group: touring, performing festivals, the BET Awards mainstage and MTV Spring Break, Alexander Wang’s fashion week party, doing interviews and accepting awards as City Girls – and always with a shout-out to her best friend with a heartfelt “Free JT!”

These City Girls would not be derailed nor defeated. With the brash, raw, uncensored swagger rooted in the queens who came before them, the duo released music and videos they had banked knowing JT was turning herself in and kept rising and rising up the charts. The accolades and nominations piled up: 2019 BET Hip Hop Awards Nominations for “Best Hip Hop Video” + Single Of The Year”; 2019 BET Awards Nominations for “Best Group” + “Best New Artist”; BET Social Awards Nomination and Won “Issa Wave” Award; Nominated for Billboard Awards’ Best New Artist.

In September Yung Miami happily announced her pregnancy, showing the world what a working woman was capable of. In October, JT was freed, and the internet exploded, with City Girls holding eight of the top 25 trending topics on twitter – not just trending but trending under eight different topics! (#2 JT FREE; #6 JT HOME; #11 JT IS FREE; #15 JT IS HOME; #16 Caresha; #19 Yung Miami; #20 JT OUT; #23 SO JT). Never ones to rest, City Girls returned that same day with the hard-hitting “JT First Day Out;” The City Girls’ rapper takes aim at her opposition and makes sure they know City Girls are here to dominate hip-hop with the legal mess finally behind her. “Left prison with a pimple, not a scratch,” she raps.

JT and Yung Miami are uncensored and unapologetic sharing a commitment to their hood roots and a bold insistence that the culture they come from shouldn’t stop them from getting a piece of the cash pie. One of the most provocative female hip-hop duos in years, JT and Yung Miami are trailblazers of the next generation of female who speak out as raw and confident — and with as much swagger as the boys and working twice as hard to be recognized.

Kevin “Coach K” Lee and Pierre “P” Thomas of the renowned Quality Control Music label discovered the girls and took their first song “Fu*k Dat N****” from a regional hit to a national smash when it appeared on the seminal Quality Control Presents: Control The Streets Vol 1 compilation.
