…is probably one of the most memorable lines of any Holiday Classic. Of course I'm referring to A Christmas Story, where a young Ralphie tries to convince his parents, teachers and Santa that the Red Ryder BB Gun is the perfect present. I don't know of there was a warning label on the 1940's edition box but it is a good reminder from a security perspective that often we, meaning humans, are our own worst enemy when it comes to protecting ourselves. Every year about 100 or so homes burn down due to fried turkeys. A frozen one with ice crystals straight in or the ever famous too much oil that overflows and toasts everything it touches. Even with the warnings and precautions, humans still take the risk. Warning: You can get burned badly.
As if the RSA breach wasn't warning enough about the perils of falling for a phishing scam, we now learn that the South Carolina Department of Revenue breach was also due to an employee, and it only takes one, clicking a malicious email link. That curiosity lead to over 3.8 million Social Security numbers, 3.3 million bank accounts, thousands of credit cards along with 1.9 million dependant's information being exposed. While the single click started it all, 2-factor authentication was not required and the stored info was not encrypted, so there is a lot of human error to go around. Plus a lot of blame being tossed back and forth – another well used human trait – deflection. Warning: Someone else may not protect your information.
While working the SharePoint Conference 2012 in Vegas a couple weeks ago, I came across a interesting kiosk where it allows you to take a picture and post online for free to any number of social media sites. It says 'Post a picture online for free.' but there didn't seem to be a Warning: 'You are also about to potentially share your sensitive social media credentials or email, which might also be tied to your bank account, into this freestanding machine that you know nothing about.' I'm sure if that was printed somewhere, betters would think twice about that risk. If you prefer not to enter social media info, you can always have the image emailed to you (to then share) but that also (obviously) requires you to enter that information. While logon info might not be stored, email is. Yet another reason to get a throw away email address. I'm always amazed at all the ways various companies try to make it so easy for us to offer up our information…and many of us do without considering the risks. In 2010, there were a number of photo kiosks that were spreading malware. Warning: They are computers after all and connected to the internet.
Insider threats are also getting a lot of attention these days with some statistics indicating that 33% of malicious or criminal attacks are from insiders. In August, an insider at Saudi Aramco released a virus that infected about 75% of the employee desktops. It is considered one of the most destructive computer sabotages inflicted upon a private company. And within the last 2 days, we've learned that the White House issued an Executive Order to all government agencies informing them of new standards and best practices around gathering, analyzing and responding to insider threats. This could be actual malicious, disgruntled employees, those influenced by a get rich quick scheme from an outsider or just 'compromised' employees, like getting a USB from a friend and inserting it into your work computer. It could even be simple misuse by accident. In any event, intellectual property or personally identifiable information is typically the target. Warning: Not everyone is a saint.
The Holidays are still Happy but wear your safety glasses, don't click questionable links even from friends, don't enter your logon credentials into a stray kiosk and a third of your staff is a potential threat. And if you are in NYC for the holidays, a limited run of "Ralphie to the Rescue!" A Christmas Story, The Musical is playing at the Lunt-Fontanne Theatre until Dec 30th.

Cultural, regulatory, environmental, political and economic (CREPE) conditions over the past decade are creating cross-industry solution spaces that require processes and technologies from both the Internet of Things (IoT), and Data Management and Analytics (DMA). These solution spaces are evolving into Sensor Analytics Ecosystems (SAE) that represent significant new opportunities for organizations of all types. Public Utilities throughout the world, providing electricity, natural gas and water, are pursuing SmartGrid initiatives that represent one of the more mature examples of SAE. We have s...

The security devil is always in the details of the attack: the ones you've endured, the ones you prepare yourself to fend off, and the ones that, you fear, will catch you completely unaware and defenseless. The Internet of Things (IoT) is nothing if not an endless proliferation of details. It's the vision of a world in which continuous Internet connectivity and addressability is embedded into a growing range of human artifacts, into the natural world, and even into our smartphones, appliances, and physical persons. In the IoT vision, every new "thing" - sensor, actuator, data source, data con...

How do APIs and IoT relate? The answer is not as simple as merely adding an API on top of a dumb device, but rather about understanding the architectural patterns for implementing an IoT fabric. There are typically two or three trends: Exposing the device to a management framework Exposing that management framework to a business centric logic Exposing that business layer and data to end users. This last trend is the IoT stack, which involves a new shift in the separation of what stuff happens, where data lives and where the interface lies. For instance, it's a mix of architectural styles ...

Enthusiasm for the Internet of Things has reached an all-time high. In 2013 alone, venture capitalists spent more than $1 billion dollars investing in the IoT space. With "smart" appliances and devices, IoT covers wearable smart devices, cloud services to hardware companies. Nest, a Google company, detects temperatures inside homes and automatically adjusts it by tracking its user's habit. These technologies are quickly developing and with it come challenges such as bridging infrastructure gaps, abiding by privacy concerns and making the concept a reality.

The Domain Name Service (DNS) is one of the most important components in networking infrastructure, enabling users and services to access applications by translating URLs (names) into IP addresses (numbers). Because every icon and URL and all embedded content on a website requires a DNS lookup loading complex sites necessitates hundreds of DNS queries. In addition, as more internet-enabled 'Things' get connected, people will rely on DNS to name and find their fridges, toasters and toilets. According to a recent IDG Research Services Survey this rate of traffic will only grow. What's driving t...

Scott Jenson leads a project called The Physical Web within the Chrome team at Google. Project members are working to take the scalability and openness of the web and use it to talk to the exponentially exploding range of smart devices. Nearly every company today working on the IoT comes up with the same basic solution: use my server and you'll be fine. But if we really believe there will be trillions of these devices, that just can't scale. We need a system that is open a scalable and by using the URL as a basic building block, we open this up and get the same resilience that the web enjoys.

We are reaching the end of the beginning with WebRTC, and real systems using this technology have begun to appear. One challenge that faces every WebRTC deployment (in some form or another) is identity management. For example, if you have an existing service – possibly built on a variety of different PaaS/SaaS offerings – and you want to add real-time communications you are faced with a challenge relating to user management, authentication, authorization, and validation. Service providers will want to use their existing identities, but these will have credentials already that are (hopefully) i...

The definition of IoT is not new, in fact it's been around for over a decade. What has changed is the public's awareness that the technology we use on a daily basis has caught up on the vision of an always on, always connected world. If you look into the details of what comprises the IoT, you'll see that it includes everything from cloud computing, Big Data analytics, "Things," Web communication, applications, network, storage, etc. It is essentially including everything connected online from hardware to software, or as we like to say, it's an Internet of many different things.

'Lowdown' thieves stealing woodpiles
Police Chief Mike McGillen said a half-cord is believed to have been taken from a residence on Old Deerfield Road Jan. 5. The theft of a quarter-cord from a Raymond Road residence likely happened Jan. 7.
The chief said one neighbor on Old Deerfield Road reported seeing a gray pickup truck driven by a white man of medium build.
"People in this town are great; they would all be willing to lend a hand," McGillen said.
Selectmen Chairman Frederick Kelley said it seems likely the thief is selling the wood.
"If anyone is stealing wood, that is pretty lowdown; people have got to heat their homes, and the way the economy is today, it's tough," Kelley said. "Wood is very important. Lots of people here heat with wood; it's very important,"

Carnival in New Orleans warms up under sunny skies
NEW ORLEANS With ideal weather as a backdrop, crowds poured onto the streets Sunday in the traditional warm-up for Carnival's big show on Fat Tuesday when New Orleans expresses itself in song, dance and masked spectacle.
Sunday featured celebrity-laden parades - including CNN's Anderson Cooper, actress Kelly Ripa, the rock band Train and actor Andy Garcia - and the typical drunken revelry of the French Quarter where tourists, locals and swarms of spring breakers rubbed shoulders.
Sunday was packed with the festivity that was missed on Saturday. Heavy downpours that canceled parades and forced the superkrewe of Endymion, a crowd favorite, to be pushed back a day. The line of thunderstorms that crossed the state spawned a tornado that killed a woman shielding her toddler son in Rayne, La.
In New Orleans, the warm-up was in full swing and people celebrated under beautiful clear skies.
On Bourbon Street, Pete and Helen Drago, Carnival old-timers dressed in beads and formal clothes, walked slowly through the still-brewing madness, arm-in-arm and on the lookout for some place to dance their specialty, the jitterbug. After 55 years of marriage, and even more years of Carnival under their belts, they were ready for another round of fun.
"That's what we do: We dance everywhere there's good music," Helen, 76, said. "Mardi Gras is dressing up, coming out, meeting people and having a good time."
"We're just messing around today," Pete, a former dancer with Louis Prima, a New Orleans music jazz singer and trumpeter who helped make Bourbon Street a party mecca in the 1950s. "Tomorrow we'll be dressed up!"
The tempo ratchets up even more on Monday - known as Lundi Gras - as the Carnival festivity moves closer to its climax on Mardi Gras, also known as Fat Tuesday. The excesses of Carnival end at midnight Tuesday with the beginning of Lent.
Going the other way down Bourbon toward the strip clubs and mayhem of bead throwing, a group of spring breakers from Illinois State University had daiquiris in hand.
They'd arrived near dawn, seven crammed in a Chevy Traverse after 14 hours on the road getting 20 miles to the gallon. They parked and started drinking.
"We just got here. We haven't even checked into the hotel yet," said Ethan Galvan, a 22-year-old mass communications major.
On Jackson Square, a group of girlfriends from the University of South Carolina were much more tame - and still in search of wildness.
"It's crazy, but it's not as crazy as I thought it would be," said Katherine Davis, a 21-year-old marketing and management major.
The costumes were beginning to come out.
Don May and Tim Simer were dressed like drag queens in hoop dresses, big colorful wigs, jewelry galore and tights.
"We just came back from church," May, a 56-year-old landlord from Memphis, Tenn., joked as gangs of revelers on Toulouse Street asked to get their picture taken next to him. "It's hard to fit these dresses in a pew."
Down the street in front of Johnny White's bar, a posse of bikers from St. Bernard Parish smoked cigars and drank cans of beer. They said they'd been coming to the bar for Carnival since they were 10 years old.

Springfield Man Accused of Sexual Imposition at Buck Creek State Park
CLARK COUNTY -- A sheriff's deputy was working in Buck Creek State Park on Thursday after hearing reports of sexual offenses happening there.
The deputy says he was approached by a man, later identified as 63-year-old Joseph McCormick of 1919 Clifton Ave., Springfield. According to probable cause affidavit, McCormick and the undercover deputy spoke briefly about the weather and then the deputy asked what McCormick was looking for. The suspect reportedly responded with, "I'm looking fun."
The deputy says McCormick asked him what he was looking for and the deputy replied with, "I just like to watch."
McCormick reportedly touched the deputy along the rib cage, without consent. When the deputy stepped away, McCormick reportedly asked to see the deputy's penis.
"I need to see what I'm getting," the deputy replied.
The deputy says McCormick then took his penis out of his pants and performed a sex act.
The deputy alerted a nearby Clark County Sheriff's detective and the undercover deputy attempted to place McCormick under arrest.
McCormick reportedly resisted arrest by pulling away and elbow the deputy in the jaw. McCormick also tried to run into the woods. Eventually he was placed under arrest and charged with felonious assault, sexual imposition, loitering to engage in solicitation, resisting arrest and public indecency.
He was transported to the Clark County Jail.

Her friends call Bernie Langfield a "ball of fire" because she seems to have boundless energy. This dynamic North Denver woman has twice been widowed, raised 11 children and been featured in LIFE Magazine.
After working 37 years at Regis University, this energetic lady just now retired from her job at the age of 93. Recently the University honored her with a retirement party. "We love you. You touched the lives of countless people." said Regis president John Fitzgibbons, SJ, as he thanked her for many years of loving service at Regis
"I am always amazed by how students gravitate toward you. Maybe it is something about being a mother of 11," said the Regis president. He explained how she served as a surrogate mother for homesick students who needed her care, such as baking cakes for their birthdays, mending their clothes, and even inviting them into her home. Through the years, she has become close friends with many students. "She is leaving a person legacy," points out daughter Kristie Langfield who works in data processing at Regis
Langfield has lived most of her 93 years in North Denver. Her parents, William and Alice Secord, who lived at 39th and Xavier near the old Elitch's Gardens, helped establish Holy Family Catholic Church at 44th and Utica when the parish was founded as a Jesuit mission of Sacred Heart College (now Regis University) in 1889.
After this North Denver girl graduated from Holy Family High School, she worked at the Kress 10 cents store on Denver's 16th Street. Here she met and later married James Shelton Doyle, Jr. who also worked there. After three years, the happy marriage tragically ended when Second Lt. Doyle was killed in Germany in World War II in 1944.
Then this 23-year old war widow and her two toddler sons moved back into her old home with her newly-widowed father and three younger siblings. In 1946, LIFE Magazine interviewed her in a story asking war widows about the likelihood of marrying again. She told the LIFE Magazine reporter that she was undecided at that time. Later she married Al Langfield, and they settled in North Denver. The young couple had nine children, and their family then numbered 11.
After her second husband died, this 57-year-old widow started working at the bookstore at Regis. As students wandered in asking questions, she always took the time to make them feel welcome with her smile and warm hospitality. Soon she moved up to a job in the University Advancement office where she continued to go that extra mile for students and faculty. She baked cakes for their birthdays, mended their clothes, and even invited them into her home.
In addition to her administrative assistant duties, she coordinated a monthly memorial mass for Regis alumni to pray for their deceased family members, which included mailing over 700 invitations to these families.
Many times Langfield has been a panelist on Regis University's Center for the Study of War Experience, a program dear to her heart. Once when this spunky lady was serving as a panelist, she heard a visiting professor make some disparaging remarks about Purple Hearts. "He got my Irish up so I spoke up and said my husband was killed in World War II, and he earned his Purple Heart," she explained.
When both Regis and Holy Family high schools were located in North Denver, all five of her sons went to the all-boys school, and her six daughters went to Holy Family. Nine of Bernie's children and six of her grandchildren attended Regis University. Four of her daughters also have worked at the university.
She cherishes her wonderful work experiences at Regis. "I will miss everyone, especially the students and my colleagues in University Advancement," says Langfield, who plans to spend more time with her large family and loved ones.

Les Schwab Tire Center is on a roll with a grand opening celebration for their tenth Colorado location to be held on November 20-22. The newest store for the West's largest tire retailer is located in the Lakeside neighborhood at 5871 W. 44th Ave. True to their philanthropic roots the organization is teaming up with local schools, Wheat Ridge and Arvada High Schools to compete in a tire roll event that will earn money for their schools.
Lonnie Grimm, the store's manager said, "The tire roll is a tradition during our grand openings and is a lot of fun. Our mission is to be involved with our local community. Sponsoring schools for various events, participating in half time shows, basketball games and various competitions get our name out there and create lifelong partnerships with our local community."
During the three-day event that starts Thursday, November 20 there will be free food, giveaways, savings and fun while supporting the local high schools. Thursday and Friday get the party started with spinning the prize wheel including tickets to movies and the Denver Museum of Nature and Science. Local radio station KTCL, 93.3 Modern Rock, will broadcast from 11:00-1:00 on Friday and KPTT, 95.7 FM the PARTY, on Saturday from 11:00-1:00. Saturday will also highlight the Metro North Chamber of Commerce for a ribbon cutting ceremony at 11:00. The high school tire roll happens on Saturday at noon. Come watch the athletes compete and enjoy a complimentary lunch catered by Frank's Texas Style Bar-B-Que, while supplies last. On that same day, Broncos tickets and a Peyton Manning team jersey will be given away.
Aside from all the fun, now that the winter tire season is upon us, during the grand opening customers will receive additional savings via the direct mail Les Schwab flier with coupons on tires during the month of November. One can never tire from safety and savings. That's how Les Schwab rolls.
Alliance buys former RedPeak sites in West Highland

WEST HIGHLANDS — Construction likely will begin soon on luxury apartments in the heart of the trendy Highlands Square area of West Highland at a long-planned development that a neighborhood group unsuccessfully tried to stop in a campaign that included a court battle.
Phoenix-based Alliance Residential Co. can start construction on the 147-unit community because it has completed its purchase of a trio of sites along Lowell Boulevard, Meade Street and West Moncrieff Place, just north of the popular West 32nd Avenue restaurant and bar corridor.
Records show that Alliance, through a company called Broadstone Highlands Square LLC, paid about $9.7 million to a group headed by Tom Wootten for the properties.
An Alliance executive could not immediately be reached for comment last Friday.
At one point, Denver-based RedPeak Properties had the land under contract for $4.55 million, according to court records from the lawsuit in Denver District Court. The lawsuit had been filed by members of a grassroots opposition group called No High Rises in West Highland. Wooten's group paid $3.75 million for the property in 2007, but spent more than another $1 million on the project after purchasing it. Expenses included the costly legal battle, removing asbestos from a church building, and razing a portion of the church, as well as another building on the site.
The neighbors could not convince a judge during a three-day trial last year that the U-MS-5 zoning was an example of illegal spot zoning or that the 5-story buildings were incompatible with the mostly single-family home neighborhood and a violation of Blueprint Denver, a transportation and zoning guide for the city's development.
Alliance building RedPeak's plans
Alliance also bought the architectural plans, engineering and other reports from RedPeak.
While RedPeak declined to comment, observers said those type of plans would cost about $1 million, making Alliance's total entry cost about $10.7 million.
Paying $1 million for the plans, however, would be less costly than the time-consuming prospect of starting from scratch, a scenario in which Alliance also would have to worry about increasing construction costs, according to industry sources.
The plans that Alliance bought call for building 5-story buildings on Lowell Boulevard and Meade Street and a 4-story building on Moncrieff.
The former Beth Eden Church building on Lowell has been designated as a historic landmark and will be renovated and incorporated into a new building.
History trumps height
Wootten was willing to contractually require a future buyer to build a maximum height of 4-stories on Meade Street, but in exchange he didn't want the church designated as a Landmark.
A number of neighbors, and people from other parts of Denver, convinced the Denver City Council to approve the Landmark designation, however.
Even though the Moncrieff plan is zoned for a maximum height of 5-stories, RedPeak agreed to a lower the height by one floor and Alliance will honor that decision.
While the lower heights may allow a developer to charge a small premium for better views on some of the units in the Lowell building, that was not the reason for the voluntary downsizing, a RedPeak official said when it still had the land under contract.
And there would be no problem constructing a 5-story building on the 13,400-square-foot Moncrieff site, a number of experts agreed.
However, a 5-story building would have required an underground parking garage on the Moncrieff site, which would have been extremely costly, especially given the relatively high water table, explained one person familiar with the project.
Adding a few more units on a fifth floor only would only incrementally add to the value of the project, given the cost of underground parking, he said.
Price high for West Highland
The sales price equates to almost $158 per square foot for the 62,150-square-foot site.
"This is one of the highest priced sales in the Highland area on a price per square foot basis, eclipsing the Denver School District site," said John Winslow, president of Winslow Property Consultants.
"This price is analogous to prices paid (for land) near Union Station," for future apartment buildings, said Winslow, who wast not involved in the sale, but is an expert on valuing real estate and closely monitors the Denver-area commercial real estate market.
Winslow said that Alliance likely would be anticipating rents in the $2.30 to $2.50 per square foot range.
At $2.50 per square foot, the monthly rent in a 750-square-foot would be $1,875.
Records also show that Alliance received a loan from Bank of America for about $29 million for the project.
"Typically, the developer pays at least 50 percent cash for acquisitions and the $29 million (BofA loan) would be for the construction and 50 percent of the land cost," Winslow said.
Winslow estimated that after Alliance has completed construction and "stabilized" the building by leasing a substantial amount of the units, it likely could sell it for about $330,000 per unit. That would represent a sales price of about $48.5 million.

The Denver Montessori Junior/Senior High School (DMHS) has outgrown its current space at Gilpin and is hoping to move into the school this fall. On November 10 a DPS recommendation was made to relocate DMHS on to the site at 43rd and Shoshone. Read more
Mockery Brewing: It's no joke
Patrick Dawson |
RINO – You might be thinking to yourself: is it my imagination or has "RiNo" been showing up a heck of a lot recently in our beer column? You, sir or m'am, are correct. And if you didn't know, now you do. The River North (aka RiNo) district of downtown Denver is quite literally hopping, being that many of the newest, coolest spots are craft breweries. The latest of which is Mockery Brewing. Having just opened to the public on November 7 at 35th St and Delgany, they're at the heart of what looks to become the Beer 'Hood of Denver.
On a recent dark, wintery day, Mockery's taproom lights were shining warmly onto the streets outside. Upon heading to the front entrance, patrons pass through an enjoyable outdoor patio (at least in warm weather), to an intimate interior with an atmosphere of lightly-hip-meets-modern-industrial. The bar extends along one side of the room past a few tables and makes its way over to a variety of fermenters, bags of malt, and plethora of brewing equipment peeking out from around the workspace corner.
But while location and atmosphere are good and important, we're talking craft beer here and what's being served at the counter is definitely the focal point. That's why, what's especially impressive (and appreciated) about Mockery is their tap offerings. Not only did they have eight different beers ready at opening, but they ran the gamut in styles.
This current wave of new breweries has shown that it's easy and not uncommon, when first opening to the public, for brewers to discover that they haven't brewed nearly enough for their eager patrons. But according to Owner/Brewer, Zach Rabun, that just wasn't going to be an option for his brewery. Instead they've been hard at work prepping for their debut and it shows. On top of their eight current pour options, a couple more are about to join them. Here's a little sampling of what you'll find right now:
Rye Saison (6.5% ABV): An excellent brew that's lightly sweet, yet with a pleasantly dry finish and a bit of spicy pepper on the palate. Red Session IPA (5.0% ABV): An easy-drinking and balanced option that offers hoppy notes of citrus and pineapple. Salted Scotch Ale (5.8% ABV): With just a hint of salt, it has layers of caramel maltiness without being too sweet. Vanilla Bourbon Porter (5.4% ABV): Hints of chocolate and marshmallow balance the 1lb of Madagascar vanilla beans (all hand cut) that make up this excellent choice for the winter.
Good beer doesn't happen by accident, needing an experienced and capable crew behind the helm of the brew kettle, something Mockery has in spades. Having previously been Head Brewer at Elk Mountain in Parker and spending much of the rest of his time brewing and studying beer, Zach has been anxiously waiting to make Mockery a reality. With the addition of Head Brewer, Justin Burnsed, whose resume includes both BrewDog and Stone Brewing, they were ready to roll. While much of this first batch was brewed individually by the two, future beers are planned to be a collaboration of their skills and creativity.
So, while Mockery might be the youngest member of the Denver brew crew, don't let that fool you. What they lack in age, they more than make up for with some darn tasty beer. If you're like most and have fallen behind on all the new breweries that have opened, be sure to move Mockery to the top of the list.

Coyote Poets of the Universe
Trick people into being happy – 9-piece 'orchestral' band at Oriental November 22 |
Laurie Dunklee |
email@example.com |
Berkeley– The Coyote Poets of the Universe offers an entertaining smorgasbord of musical styles, served up with its own unique flavor.
"The coyote in Native American lore is the trickster. As entertainers we trick people into being happy. We make the world a bit better for a time," said leader and bassist Andy O'Leary, also a DJ on Denver's KUVO jazz radio station.
The nine-piece band brings its tricks to the Oriental Theater Nov. 22 at 7 p.m. Tickets are $10. The performance is also a video shoot for a 90-minute movie.
Inspired by an eclectic mixture of rock, acoustic, African and Native American music, the band admires such artists as Rusted Root, The Band and Traffic. Spoken word is also a part of the mix, courtesy of O'Leary's poetry.
"Spoken poetry provides breaks in the music. It adds a different point of view. Sometimes it's better to tell a story with a poem," said O'Leary.
A wide range of instruments give the Coyotes their full, "orchestral" sound. The band includes Josie Quick on violin, John Rasmussen on woodwinds, Patricia Shaw on saxophones, Gary Hoover and Tom Carleno on guitars, Melissa Gates on lead vocals, Zach Perry producing and filling in for O'Leary on bass, and Shannon Spencer on drums.
"We like each other, and we like not playing just one kind of music," O'Leary said.
Spencer, a resident of the Berkeley neighborhood since 1990, likes the band "because we all do our own thing. We play many styles, which allows everyone to dig into their toolbox," she said. "We all can make our abilities and preferences shine in that band. We have more freedom than in other bands."
O'Leary started the Coyotes because he wanted more poetry-infused music to play on his radio show.
"It started as an accident," said O'Leary. "I was doing 'Jazz Tales' on KUVO, focusing on music with spoken poetry. After about six months I was running out of recordings to play. Gary [Hoover] suggested to me, 'Why don't you write some poetry and we'll put music to it.' After a couple of years we had a lot of material so we said, 'Let's be a band.'
"Gary was a computer-code-writing, Dilbert-type nerd. He suggested we come up with a name with the acronym CPU [as in Central Processing Unit]. He lived near a greenbelt and at night we heard a congress of coyotes. And we're both poets, so that worked. The 'universe' thing was us goofing around."
O'Leary and Hoover recorded two albums of studio-synthesizer music, then decided to get live musicians for the third CD because they wanted to perform. "Just us onstage with a couple synthesizers wasn't very entertaining," said O'Leary.
The full band produced three more CDs, garnering favorable reviews from Westword, O's Place Jazz Magazine, Downbeat Magazine, Music Street Journal, Muzik Reviews and Progression Magazine, among others.
The performance at the Oriental will be made into a movie and short videos to accompany the band's newest CD, "Strange Lullaby." O'Leary said, "The idea is to get videos for each song, plus about 90 minutes to air on Channel 6. We hope to get a good crowd that night to be part of the movie."
"Strange Lullaby," a two-CD set, is in process, slated for completion in spring 2015. O'Leary wrote the lyrics for what he says is a "deep songwriting concept album."
Coyote Poets of the Universe performs at many clubs and venues in Denver, including the Mercury Cafe, Larimer Lounge, the Meadowlark Bar, Herman's Hideaway, The D Note, Crossroads Theater and the Toad Tavern.
Coyote drummer Spencer brings her talents to three other Denver bands as well, including the Northwest Denver-based trio, GIN (Girls in the Neighborhood), led by singer LuAnn Reeder. She also works recording dates and subs for other drummers.
Spencer grew up in Ault, Colorado, between Ft. Collins and Greeley, which she considers a boon to her early career as a drummer. "Prejudice against women drummers is not an issue in a small town. I was shy and music was an awesome tool to get me out of my shell. I played for everything, including marching through horse poop in the marching band. I was first chair in the all-state band and I went to Europe with the America Mile High Band."
She said Northwest Denver's music scene is growing as new venues open. But she'd like to see a greater respect for musicians. "I'd like to see the bars treat bands with more respect. Unfortunately, respect is a rarity. They try to nickel and dime us, though we're good partners and we bring people into their places."
O'Leary grew up in Denver, the son of two musicians. He played trumpet and cello before settling on the bass at South High School. He began at KUVO 25 years ago. In 1993 he began hosting his own show, "Jazz Tales," on Sunday nights. He was KUVO's music director but stepped down to devote his time to the band and sub for other DJs. This year he launched his new Sunday night show, "The Nightside with Andy O'," described on the website as "a mix of radio theater, jazz from Armstrong to Zorn, spoken word poetry and storytelling, interviews and features."
O'Leary, a prolific poet, says poetry figures in our lives whether we realize it or not. "People have a favorite poet though they don't know it. It might be Bono or George Harrison. The Coyotes try to be somebody's favorite poet," he said.
Inspired by Garrison Keillor's "A Prairie Home Companion," O'Leary is launching a new live variety show, "Coyotes at the Crossroads."
"Our Lake Wobegon is the land of square-shaped states," says O'Leary of the show's focus on Western themes unique to states like Colorado, Wyoming and New Mexico. The show includes live performances of poetry, storytelling, comedy and music. "The West is a dynamic area that doesn't need New York," he told Westword magazine.

HIGHLANDS – I vaguely remember Pedro Almodovar's 1988 film Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown as a quirky, funny Spanish movie. I knew that it had been made into a stage musical, so when I heard that Equinox Theatre Company, known for producing unusual musicals of late, was giving the show a regional premiere, I jumped at the chance to go see it. The show is fun, zany at times, well-stocked with unexpected twists, and creatively produced, making for a enjoyable evening of live theater. Read more

Holidays Beckon with Twinkling Lights and Ribbons
November 19, 2014 by admin · Leave a Comment
NORTH DENVER – The Holiday season is upon us. The smell of turkey and crunch of cranberries amidst tree lighting, twinkling lights, flickering candles and ribbons galore are beginning to festoon shops in anticipation of the almighty Black Friday. Who needs the chaos of the mega mall when our local merchants offer unique gifts that don't reek of Amazon? Try Small Business Saturday in the Highlands instead on November 29.
American Express created a nod to local businesses in 2010 by creating Small Business Saturday in a "Shop Small Movement." American Express says, "While Small Business Saturday is highlighted as a special day when we can show our support as a nation for small business owners and our communities, the Shop Small movement is a year round campaign to celebrate and support small businesses every day." Consumers are encouraged to register their American Express card from 11/16-11/29 at shopsmall.com and they will be allowed three $10 credits after buying items from their favorite local stores who are participating in the shop small campaign. Merchants in LoHi like the perfect home and gift shop, Lulu's, will be participating in this program and offer a one-stop shop for many on your gift list.
Tennyson Street, too, is getting in on Small Business Saturday with a "Passport Crawl." Nicole Hahn Sullivan, owner of the BookBar says, "As a thank you for supporting local this year, participating Tennyson St. businesses will be offering anything from discounts to freebies with the Tennyson St. Small Business Holiday Passport. We are kicking off this event on Small Business Saturday, Nov. 29th. Some businesses are extending their offers through December 6th. Passports will be available at all participating businesses (look for the poster in their window.)
With every stamp you receive in the passport you get a chance to win a gift basket featuring ALL of the participating businesses. So, the more you support local Tennyson St. businesses, the more chances you will have to win! Passports need to be returned to Jolly Goods by 6 p.m., December 6th for your chance at the prize. The gift basket winner will be announced/notified on December 7th."
In LoHi the after-party from a whirlwind day of shopping on Saturday, November 29 will begin at 5:30-8:00 p.m. with the first official tree lighting of the Holiday season. The LoHi Community Plaza (at Little Man Ice Cream) turns on the lights of their towering 25' tree and Goliath Menorah. Santa will be in the house for a seasonal photo opp in time for the Christmas card season. In the spirit of holiday giving, free food and hot apple cider is on the house from Little Man, Highland Tap&Burger and M&M Food Truck. The Tree Lot will have Christmas trees for sale ranging in price from $20-$100. Join in the Christmas spirit as the jingling carol season begins and enjoy Hayrides in the hood with majestic Clydesdale horses. Who knows, there may even be a live reindeer spotting or two?
On Sunday, November 30 at 7:00 p.m. on 32nd & Osceola Highlands Square will celebrate the heart of the Highlands tree lighting, complete with music, hot drinks, soup and homemade cookies. Reverend Brad Laurvick of the Highlands United Methodist Church says, "I think a 20 foot tree with more than 25,000 lights is a great way to add to the holiday spirit. Events like the tree lighting are about community, being a neighborhood, and the joy of the season."
The tree lighting kicks off "12 Days of Giving." Laurvick explains, "The tree will have tags for folks to purchase gifts for those in need. By dropping off a gift at most Highlands Square businesses you will get a 10% discount December 1-12. Our neighborhood is filled with people who are looking to make a difference in the world. The Highlands Merchant Association is excited to help facilitate 'good will to all' this December with our '12 Days of Giving'." The event will culminate on December 13 when the street comes alive with the clippity clop of hooves at Nostalgic Homes' "Holiday in the Highlands" where horse drawn carriages, photos with Santa, tree decorating and a lighting ceremony are but a few goodies in store.
Both tree lighting events will have the North Denver Tribune's and Highlands Animal Clinic's "Pet of the Year" voting polls open. Don't forget to cast your vote to make one pet truly pampered this holiday season!
Just remember, buy some gloves and a warm hat in the hood on Small Business Saturday. You'll need them for the notoriously cold Parade of Lights on Dec 5th and 6th! Help small business. Stay warm this holiday. Ho Ho Ho!

WikiLeaks website blocked behind Chinese firewall
China, one of the biggest Internet policers, took no chances with the latest online sensation and blocked the WikiLeaks website Wednesday amid potentially embarrassing claims made in leaked U.S. diplomatic memos posted there.
Associated Press
China, one of the biggest Internet policers, took no chances with the latest online sensation and blocked the WikiLeaks website Wednesday amid potentially embarrassing claims made in leaked U.S. diplomatic memos posted there.
Attempts to access wikileaks.org and cablegate.wikileaks.org were met with a notice saying the connection had been reset, or were diverted the user to popular Chinese search engine Baidu. That's the standard response when the connection to an overseas-based website has been cut.
The U.S. Embassy memos - called cables, though they are mostly encrypted electronic communication - contain some frank talk about and attributed to Chinese figures and their North Korean allies.
In one, a Chinese diplomat is quoted describing North Korea as a "spoiled child" for attempting to win U.S. attention with a provocative missile test.
China's representative to six-nation disarmament talks, meanwhile, is described by a South Korean diplomat as an "arrogant, Marx-spouting former Red Guard who 'knows nothing about North Korea, nothing about nonproliferation.'"
Another memo reveals details of a Chinese contingency plan for North Korea's collapse - the existence of which is likely to drive a wedge between the allies at the very least.
The leaks also claimed that leadership of China's ruling Communist Party directed a cyber-intrusion into Google's computer systems, and expressed concern over attempts by Iranian front companies to obtain Chinese nuclear technology.
It wasn't clear when the blocks were imposed, although a vast swath of the Internet is inaccessible behind China's firewall, including social networking sites such as Facebook, Twitter and YouTube.
Human rights and political dissent-themed sites are also routinely banned, although technologically savvy users can easily jump the so-called "Great Firewall" with proxy servers or other alternatives.
While WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange told Time magazine this week that the Chinese government is "terrified of free speech," he takes heart from their fear.
"I think that is a very optimistic sign because it means that speech can still cause reform," he said in an online interview. "We believe closed societies have the most reform potential."
China's government has taken a low-key approach to the leaks, with the Foreign Ministry saying it would not comment on specific assertions in the cables.
"China takes note of relevant reports. We hope the U.S. side will properly handle the relevant issue. As for the content of the documents, we do not comment on that," ministry spokesman Hong Lei said Tuesday.
On Wednesday, the Global Times, a provocative tabloid published by the ruling Communist Party mouthpiece Peoples Daily, labeled the disclosure a "nefarious slander against China."
It also wondered why the U.S. didn't block the posting of the leaks, saying that raised questions as to whether it had reached some form of tacit understanding with WikiLeaks.
U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton has said that WikiLeaks acted illegally in posting the documents. Officials around the world have said the disclosure jeopardizes national security, diplomats, intelligence assets and relationships between foreign governments.
The massive leaks were "embarrassing" and "awkward," but the consequences for American foreign policy should be limited, U.S. Defense Secretary Robert Gates said Tuesday.

The Human Miracle
Communication And Argument In The Qur'an
If Darwin Had Known About DNA
Kanal Avrupa; Çay TV, February 6 2011
It is very dangerous to approach religion using modern thinking. The world is metaphysical. If Allah is greatly loved and respected, if it is made clear that He is very important and if all attention is directed toward Allah, then a special system is set in motion in the world by Him. World events begin to change. But if attention is withdrawn from Allah, if no importance is attached to Him, then Allah sets another system in motion in the world. Unbelievable scourges will come, rebellions, murders, diseases, cancers, unhappiness and suffering will follow on one another's heels. The other way, an exceedingly happy and joyful life results. People must choose one or the other, but whether they wish it or not, Almighty Allah will still impose His will, and we will see this, insha'Allah.
(How will the different sects disappear when Hazrat Mahdi (as) comes?)Those who say that every sect should act as it wishes, who impair the namaz, are different in every school. What is lawful in the Hanafi school is unlawful in the Sha'afi school, so harmony is impossible. When Hazrat Mahdi (as) comes he will open the Qur'an, gather the scholars together and pronounce on every subject individually. "If you hold any different opinions, tell me" he will say. There can be no different opinion. Hazrat Mahdi (as) will bring world-renowned scholars together and will pronounce on this matter in their presence.
In worshiping Allah, one must do so for His approval, not for paradise. That is what Allah regards as acceptable. If He bestows paradise as a blessing, of course we will be delighted, but our real aim is Allah's approval, insha'Allah. That is the essential thing. How excellent it is to worship Allah without seeing Him and to be prepared to give up our lives. What a fine love that is. That is what pleases Allah. For example, we give up our youth and life and belongings, and that pleases Allah very much. Angels accept Allah. Angels have no alternative but to worship Him. But for human beings, they see two alternative paths. They may turn to disbelief or to Islam. They act for Allah and love Him so passionately that they can give up their lives for Him without seeing Him. This pleases Allah very much, and it pleases us very much. This is the finest and truest image in the world. It is the finest adornment in the world. The finest emotion is love. And this is the finest expression of it, to give up one's life. To give up one's life, or one's youth, possessions and belongings, for Allah, because one loves Him. This is a most noble action, the finest expression of love. Many forms of love are reciprocal, but there is no expectation of reward in this form. You just want Allah's approval, and that is most excellent. Otherwise, if one does not love Allah, then chairs, vineyards, gardens and everything else are all meaningless. They are meaningless if one has no fear of Allah.
The path leading to happiness is very important. When Allah bestows that, a great comfort descends on the heart. It is like being reborn. They say, "a power created the universe from zero volume and infinite density." Zero volume means nothing, doesn't it? "A force brought this about" they say. That is a very childish, showy belief. They are all aware of the existence of Allah. We see and experience the whole vast universe in a space in our brains no larger than a lentil. None of us have ever seen or know the outside world. But scientists say, on the basis of the data available, that this is how it is. Nobody has ever seen matter. But we believe, scientifically, that matter is transparent. We believe that matter on the outside has no color and is pitch black. Nobody has ever stepped outside their brains and spoken. Whatever Allah shows, we see it in our brains, like a video tape. They cannot pretend not to understand what I am saying. I read in a book that "scientists are aware of this, and are terrified of it." Of what I am saying. They realize it, but they are reluctant to tell society as a whole. But all modern physicists are aware of the truth of it. We can only believe in the existence of matter on the outside.
We must constantly describe this metaphysical aspect of the world. One subject to be described is the dead-end of Darwinism and materialism, and this is the other one. Allah wants an enlightened world. He wants a world made up of people who are passionately devoted to Him, who long for paradise and worship Him. "If you are good natured, I will open the doors of abundance for you" He says. People whose faith is weak have strayed toward materialist methods. That is not Islam. The result is a totally different ideology. They end up adopting a different ideology entirely. You cannot have a deen that is not the deen, Islam that is not Islam.
Our Prophet (saas) was the sweetest man in the world. His language and approach were perfect. Our Prophet's (saas) cleanliness and humanity were absolutely wonderful. We must come to the same state of spirit. We must have the same warmth, forgiveness, honesty, sincerity, reason, perfect ability to explain matters, fortitude, courage and lofty character. Our Prophet (saas) was an immaculate person, insha'Allah.
Allah giveshelp. But they reject His help. Allah has given His help. He has sent Hazrat Mahdi (as). Our Prophet (saas) has described it. Allah's greatest form of help was the coming of the Prophet (saas). Our Prophet (saas) has described all this in great detail. But they reject it. They do not respect and believe in the Prophet (saas). They say, "I act according to my own ideas, not according to what the Prophet (saas) said." In that event, may He forbid, Allah may visit afflictions on them. Listen to our Prophet's (saas) words for a day. Follow him and believe in him completely. Believe in his every word.
