Future of NHL players in Olympics still up in air
Let's make it clear.
There's no mistaking this year's version of the U.S. men's Olympic hockey team for the 1980 "Miracle on Ice" crew that upset the then-juggernaut Soviet Union.
But the impact the Olympic stage continues to have on USA Hockey is glaring, and that's because of the teams it keeps assembling.
After a 5-2 quarterfinal win over the Czech Republic on Wednesday, isn't it obvious these players have become the darlings of the Games from an American perspective?
Their eight-round shootout victory over the host Russians was an instant classic. Forward T.J. Oshie, who scored four times in the shootout, became a household name, even drawing praise from President Barack Obama via Twitter.
And now their semifinal clash Friday with their archrival, the Canadians, is the climax of the tournament, probably more than the eventual gold-medal final.
But the plug easily could be pulled on all this triumph and pride if the NHL prevents the source of this American progress from appearing again in four years in South Korea — its players.
Whether or not NHLers should participate in the Olympics continues to be a contentious issue. No decisions have been made about 2018. In fact, involvement in this year's Games wasn't settled until last July.
The cons make sense. The league interrupts its season at a time when it's competing for viewership with only one professional league, the NBA — and sends its players sometimes multiple time zones away, where they risk injury.
But the reasons to play are just as noteworthy. The free publicity can't be overstated. The Olympics provide a level of exposure the NHL craves, and the players are the best selling point.
A ho-hum Oshie became the sensation of the Games after his shootout heroics. Certainly that performance can't hurt his NHL employer, the St.Louis Blues, a franchise whose attendance has sagged this season.
Will the medal push by the Americans inspire youngsters to follow in their paths? That's what happened following the "Miracle on Ice." No current U.S. players were alive for that game, but they grew up with the interest sparked by the win.
And 34 years later, look how much better the game has become — in all leagues — because of the growth of American hockey.
Still, this isn't an easy call. And opinion is split even among teams.
"This is, to me anyway, the best time of the year to grab our fans and get them, especially over here in Arizona," Coyotes General Manager Don Maloney said. "The second half of the season is always more attractive than the first, so all of a sudden you take this hiatus. You feel like you're starting up all over again."
Overall, Maloney has mixed feelings because he agrees the worldwide advertising for the NHL is a plus. But a debate doesn't exist with the players, who seem to be unanimously in favor of participating.
"We like going there and being part of it," defenseman and two-time Czech Republic Olympian Zbynek Michalek said. "It's once in four years, so I don't think it's a big deal. It's not like it's every year. So I think it's worth it, and I hope the NHL sees it and keeps getting involved and keeps growing our sport."
Success elicits attention, and clearly the Americans have captured the nation's support with their pursuit. Their popularity could easily carry over to the NHL, especially if they grab gold.
And if they do, no one would be surprised. That, at least somewhat, is what's at stake here.

StemCells, Inc. Initiates World's First Neural Stem Cell Trial In Spinal Cord Injury
PALO ALTO, Calif., March 14, 2011 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- StemCells, Inc. (Nasdaq:STEM) announced today the initiation of a Phase I/II clinical trial of its proprietary HuCNS-SC ® human neural stem cells in chronic spinal cord injury. This trial is now open for enrollment, and will accrue patients with both complete and incomplete degrees of paralysis who are three to 12 months post-injury. The trial is being conducted in Switzerland at the Balgrist University Hospital, University of Zurich, a world leading medical center for spinal cord injury and rehabilitation, and is being led by Armin Curt, MD, Professor and Chairman, Spinal Cord Injury Center at the University of Zurich, and Medical Director of the Paraplegic Center at the Balgrist University Hospital.
Dr. Curt stated, "The launch of this trial is truly a landmark event for the field of spinal cord injury research. For patients facing a lifetime of paralysis, the prospect that neural stem cell transplantation may one day help restore some degree of function offers new hope. What is particularly exciting to me is the innovative design of this trial. Within the setting of one trial, we will progress from the most severely injured to less severely injured. In addition to our primary focus on assessing safety, the design of the trial will afford a very real near-term opportunity to observe possible benefits to the patient, which may include improved sensation, motor function, bowel or bladder function. I am extremely pleased to be involved in a study that is breaking barriers in the search for a treatment that could lead to improved quality of life for injured patients."
Stephen Huhn, MD, FACS, FAAP, Vice President and Head of the CNS Program at StemCells, Inc., added, "Dr. Curt is an internationally renowned expert in spinal cord injury, and we look forward to working with him and his team of experienced investigators at Balgrist. Our HuCNS-SC cells have shown significant promise in preclinical studies for restoring lost motor function, and we are excited to take this important first step toward our goal of developing a neural stem cell therapy that could offer similar benefits for patients living with paralysis. We plan to enroll the first cohort of patients with complete injury this year, and will then transition to patients with incomplete injuries early next year."

Book cheap Cairo hotels
Hotels in Cairo
Cairo is home to the International Convention and Exhibition Centre, the only comprehensive event venue in the country. The massive building covers 0.3 kilometres, with over 3,000 square metres of convention rooms. With onsite restaurants, catering, and nearby hotels available, Cairo's convention centre is one of the most luxurious in the world.
Cairo's dining experience covers everything from street-stand food to fine dining, with a taste of food from around the world. Many of the nicer hotels in Cairo have bars, lounges, and full restaurants where travellers can stop for a bite to eat. Anyone looking for a taste of Egyptian cuisine can try Koshary Abou Tarek, one of Cairo's most popular restaurants.
There are shopping centres near the Cairo hotels to compete for attention but to the true tourist, the bazaars and markets hold more appeal. Cairo has dozens of them, and shoppers can browse through to buy anything from souvenirs to belly dancing gear, or goats. The Khan el-Khalili Bazaar is perhaps the most popular, probably due to its proximity to the al-Azhar Mosque.
Major Points of Interest
While famed for its proximity to Egyptian monuments like the Giza Necropolis, Cairo's points of interest lie within the city. The Egyptian Museum is a must-see for any visitor, as it contains one of the largest collections of Egyptian relics on the planet. The Cairo Film Festival, which is held once a year, features international actors and film producers, FIAPF awards to acclaimed actors and films. Other must-see attractions include the Cairo Tower, the al-Azhar Mosque, the Cairo Opera House, Babylon Fortress, and Muizz Street, which are located around the city.
Soccer is the Cairo sport of choice, and visitors can see matches nearly every weekend, although tickets are frequently sold out so be sure to purchase in advance. The most popular teams are Zamalek SC and Ahli SC, who compete on an international level. Cairo is also home to horse racing, running, and cycling events throughout the year.

Eurozone financial leaders are meeting Monday in an attempt to work out a deal on Greece's debt.
Under the agreement, Greece's private creditors would trade their Greek bonds for ones that are 50 percent lower in value.
Because the new bonds would also have longer maturities, Greece's repayments would be delayed by decades. The bonds would also have a much lower interest rate. A deal would allow Greece to get a second bailout package from other European governments and the International Monetary Fund. Negotiators said they've made progress toward a deal. However, important details still have to be worked out.
"The negotiations will be difficult, but we want the second program for Greece to be implemented in March so that the second tranche can be released," German Finance Minister Wolfgang Schaeuble said.
"Greece must fulfill its commitments, it is difficult and there is already a lot of delay," Schaeuble said.
Meanwhile, some analysts doubt that even a bailout plan can help Greece cut its huge debt enough.

25 Safer Alternatives to Common Cosmetics
Posted By Mark Sisson On July 31, 2013 @ 8:00 am In Health,Reviews | 307 Comments
Two weeks ago, I introduced you to five cosmetics ingredients you should avoid [7]. These are chemicals you'll often find in things like shampoos, conditioners, deodorants, sunblocks, and makeups – you know, the stuff you're covering yourself in everyday. Cosmetics manufacturers use these ingredients to improve their product's ability to clean, moisturize, beautify, or improve an odor, but they often do lots of other bad stuff in the process. So the question is, do these products need these chemicals to work like we want them to, or are there alternative products that manage to use more natural and/or less harmful ingredients while still getting the job done? Indeed, there are, and today I'm going to share my findings with you.
Now, it's fairly common for people to switch over to a Primal lifestyle [8] and find they just don't feel the need for all the lotions, creams, concealers, and other body care products they used to wear. Some even ditch shampoo [9], deodorant, and soap altogether [10]. Still, though, that's not everyone. I regularly received reader requests for safe cosmetics recommendations. So let's look at some of these safer alternatives. I'll try to include every possible category that falls under the "cosmetics" umbrella, but if I miss anything, don't hesitate to let me know in the comment board.
When I say makeup, I refer to all those products people put on their faces, around their eyes, on their lips, and beside their noses. Powders and rouges and those sorts of things. Can you tell I know what I'm talking about? Anyway, the following brands are guaranteed to be free of the problem ingredients mentioned last time (plus most others).
100% Pure [11] – They produce makeup and other cosmetics using food-grade plant-based ingredients (it's safe to eat, so it's probably safe to put on your body). They've also come up with their own preservative system to replace parabens, using a complex blend of herbs, vitamins, and antioxidants in place of industrial antimicrobials.
BiteBeauty [12] – I like their mission – to create lipstick that you can safely eat (because women and the people who kiss them do eat a fair amount of lipstick) – as well as their propensity to quote Oscar Wilde. BiteBeauty uses great ingredients [13] like argan oil and Manuka honey [14], and they even had their lipstick tested to ensure it was free of gluten and almost free of lead (total and utter elimination of lead is hard because lead is everywhere, including the food-grade ingredients they use).
Josie Maran [15] – Argan oil-based makeup. They also use food-grade ingredients like avocado, coconut oil, olive oil, and mango seed butter.
Scotch Naturals [16] – Many nail polish companies claiming to be free of phthalates actually aren't [17], as a recent study revealed, suggesting that phthalates truly are hard to resist for nail polish makers. Scotch Naturals, however, is one of the only companies making truly non-toxic nail polish (that also happens to work really well).
Lavanila [18] – They specialize in fragrance-free fragrances.
Pacifica Perfume [19] – Another maker of safe fragrances.
You've got your lotions, your creams, your face washes, your moisturizers, your body washes (isn't that just a fancy name for soap?), and anything else that goes on your skin.
Skin Care for Athletes [20] – Certified organic, paraben free, fragrance free and more. SkinCare for Athletes is a socially conscious company with the certifications and ratings to prove it. They're also a trusted sponsor of PrimalCon [21].
Weleda [22] – Weleda grows the bulk of their ingredients in their own biodynamic gardens. All in all, they've got acres of gardens scattered across the world, including Germany, Netherlands, Brazil, New Zealand, and Argentina. This allows them to grow hundreds of species of medicinal plants from a variety of climates.
Dr. Bronner's [23] – No, it's not Dr. Bonner's. It's Bronner, and it's made with all organic ingredients, mostly oils, including coconut, olive, peppermint, and jojoba. I don't think you need much else other than this stuff. You can use it as regular soap, hand soap, shampoo, and even toothpaste [24]. Just be careful with the liquid peppermint soap on the, ahem, sensitive areas of your body. You might want to dilute it. Dr. Bronner's slightly crazy tendency to rant and rave on his bottles also makes for fantastic shower reading.
Suki [25] – Drawing on an impressive list of plant-based ingredients [26], Suki makes "skincare systems" for every skin type.
Indigo Wild [27] – They're best known for their Zum Soap, made from goat's milk, but the rest of their rapidly expanding skin care line is safe and effective.
Primal Life Organics [28] – This is a skincare line made by a Primal/paleo adherent who'd been making personal care products for years before she decided to make a business of it. Everything is paleo, gluten-free, and vegan.
Trillium Organics [29] – Trillium Organics is organic, obviously, with a line of non-toxic body care products, but they also make treatments for specific conditions, like acne, rosacea, eczema, dermatitis, and diaper rash.
Speaking of soaps, what about replacements for anti-bacterial handsoaps containing triclosan? As I said last time, triclosan actually is quite effective at targeting bacteria [30]. If your hands are crawling with roving bands of disease-causing microbes, then, yeah, a triclosan blast will take care of them and leave you "better off." Problem is all the other terrible stuff evidence suggests it does to our health. Luckily, we have this stuff called "soap and water" that does a fair job at cleaning our hands when they're dirty.
Research shows [31] that triclosan-containing hand soaps are "no more effective than plain soap at preventing infectious illness symptoms and reducing bacterial levels on the hands," even when you're talking about something as pernicious and deadly as C. diff [32]. There's also that fact that triclosan kills the bacteria, thus providing a powerful selective pressure for future evolution of antibiotic resistance [33], while soap and water wash the bacteria off your hands and down the drain. Unless it begins selecting for clingier bacteria who can hang on to human skin better, there's no danger of antibiotic resistance developing from basic hand washing with regular soap. Overall, basic soap is still best. Since some bacteria exposure is important for health [34], you probably don't want to kill it all outright.
There's an argument to be made in favor of going entirely without shampoo [35], but that doesn't work for everyone. Some folks need/want shampoo and conditioner, only without the parabens and other toxic chemicals. People, even Primal people, also have the funny desire to style their hair into shapes, to stand in front of the mirror, tousle it and puff it up and make it stay in place. To look good, in other words (and not just naked [36]). If you're spraying your entire head with a mist of potentially toxic liquid to do that, you definitely want a safer option. Here are a few companies making hair products you can also use to style your hair, clean your hair, and make a good salad dressing.
Acure Organics [37] – Acure offers face and body care, but they are best known for their organic shampoos and conditioners. The Moroccan argan oil and argan stem cell [38] shampoo gets particularly high marks for being effective and non-toxic.
Yarok Hair [39] – All the regular bad ingredients are absent from their line of shampoos, conditioners, and hair styling products.
DIY hair wax – This recipe [40] uses beeswax and coconut oil to create a styling, moldable hair wax free of any toxic or unpronounceable ingredients.
All of the cosmetics I've already mentioned can technically be used by men, but the average male won't be applying much lipstick, mascara, or age-defying lotion, however edible and natural it may be. They are more likely to use "men's products," however. By men's products, I refer to shaving products, beard care, cologne, and skin care targeted at men.
Eco-Beauty Organics [41] – Men's products are not their main focus, but they do offer a nice selection of aftershaves, lotions, and shaving creams.
OM4 [42] – Organic Male makes organic skincare for men. This is a nice change of pace, since most other completely non-toxic men's products are an afterthought for companies who focus on women.
Etsy – You can find some decent men's colognes (plus other cosmetics, for that matter) on Etsy, like this one [43].
A decent homemade alternative to shaving cream, I've found, is a half teaspoon of really good extra virgin olive oil [44]. The dogs (and Italian food buffs) you meet will, however, attempt to lick you.
The alternative to chemical UV-filters are physical filters. You've got shade – umbrellas, clothing, hats, a roof over our head, that sort of thing that we all know about – and then you've got the physical filters that we apply to our skin: zinc oxide. These are the white shmears you see on beach-goers' skin from time to time. You might have just thought they were really, really bad at rubbing in their sunblock [45], but they were just avoiding oxybenzone by using zinc oxide.
Zinc oxide is the most effective and safest UV-filter. It's a purely physical filter, meaning it sits on top of your skin and prevents UV damage [46], acting as a physical barrier. It's just as effective as a chemical filter like oxybenzone without the side effects. If you've already got enough unfiltered sunlight for the day's vitamin D [47] needs and want some UV protection, zinc oxide is your best, safest bet.
Some might worry about looking silly with white streaks all over their face and body. But, if you go the zinc oxide nanoparticle route, you can get a zinc oxide sunscreen that disappears on your skin. There is some concern that these nanoparticles of zinc oxide are absorbed transdermally and can cause health problems, but the evidence seems to weigh heavily toward the "all safe" side [48]. One study found that while zinc oxide does penetrate some of the outer layers of the epidermis (more so when the skin is sunburnt), it does not achieve transdermal penetration for systemic distribution [49]. Another concern is that some people have allergic reactions [50] to zinc oxide.
Badger Balm [51] – All their products are good, but the sunscreens are the most renown. They are very thorough with the science behind their sunscreens [52], and they run regular tests to confirm the safety of their zinc oxide formula. Best of all, they've managed to minimize the whitening without increasing the potential for toxicity.
Raw Elements Eco Formula [53] – Active ingredient is zinc oxide. It's thick, but stays on well even with water exposure [54] and activity. Not too whitening, either.
Kabana Skincare [55] – Another good sunscreen source that uses zinc oxide. They've even got a formula with added vitamin D, presumably to make up for the UVB you're blocking. Not sure if that actually works, but it certainly can't hurt.
Mexitan [56] – They don't just make non-toxic, zinc oxide-based sunblock. They also offer recommendations for beach resorts and produce safe self-tanner.
Some folks claim they can go without anything under their arms as long as their diet is "clean" enough, but I don't know. I'd say it's good practice to have something on hand, just in case your confidence turns out to be hubris. If you don't want the aluminum, artificial fragrances, and other nasties found in regular products, you've got plenty of choices.
Primal Pit Paste [57] – The best deodorant ever. It's coconut based, so you can probably eat it in a pinch.
Thai Crystal [58] – They've got a spray [59] and a roll-on [60]. Your choice. There's some concern over whether it contains aluminum or not, but I don't think it's a huge issue [61] unless you've just shaved your armpit and thus opened up a route for transdermal absorption.
Barring a product, you can also throw together your own:
Coconut and baking soda – Mix roughly equal parts of coconut oil [62] and baking soda. It's a bit goopy, especially in warm weather, but it gets the job done. I hear that adding some arrowroot flour or cornstarch will reduce the goopiness.
Obviously, this is far from being a complete list of all worthy alternatives. The demand for non-toxic cosmetics is only growing, and new companies are constantly emerging to address it. Be sure to leave your personal favorites in the comment section so that others can check them out.
If you're curious about the products you use, or a new one that you're considering, enter it on the Skin Deep database [63] to learn about the safety (or toxicity) of its ingredients.

"I have made this several times already. I use one cup of sugar, add some cinnamon, nuts, chopped dates or whatever tickles my fancy. I really do like it because it is moist unlike some of the other recipes I have tried. Cheers!"
"This was delicious. I used onion and roasted garlic spaghetti sauce and added more garlic. I love mushrooms so I added a small can of sliced mushrooms and a bit of hot sauce to the ingredients because I like spicy food.Cheers."

I love this lipstick! The color is an amazing deep pink with hints of purple, blue, and flecks of fuchsia sparkle. It is so pretty. There are 7 limited color choices and I want 3 of them plus a backup of this one. I never say these things lightly either! There is a light perfume fragrance to this lipstick but it is not strong, nor offensive. I love this too about it. The tube is a bit heavy to the touch but it is lovely too. It is a red & black shiny case. Perfect for the Holidays fast approaching. Try this one. I think you will like it too.

The four guys started the group in 2006 and worked on their first studio project as indie artists while working full-time jobs. The result is a self-titled mini album which was released after they graduated from college.
One of their songs "Cape Cod Kwassa Kwassa" was ranked at No. 67 on Rolling Stone's 2007 100 Best Song of the Year despite the fact that it hadn't been released yet. The track was then dropped in 2008 as the band's fourth single and was once covered by Genesis' former vocalist Peter Gabriel.
In 2008 also, they released their first major-label debut album "Vampire Weekend" via XL Recordings. It debuted at No 17 on Billboard Hot 200 and has sold more than 450,000 copies in the U.S. by the end of August 2009. Moreover, it was named the 5th best album of 2008 by Time and 56th Best Album of the Decade by Rolling Stone.
The band's second full-length album, Contra, came in 2010 to critical acclaim. Modern Vampires of the City, Vampire Weekend's third album was released in May of this year.
Special guest Sky Ferreira is an American singer-songwriter, model, and actress. Her first EP, As If!, was released in 2011 and her second EP, Ghost, was released in 2012 to positive reviews. Ferreira's "Everything Is Embarrassing" was named one of the best songs of 2012 by publications such as Pitchfork Media, The Guardian, the Los Angeles Times, and Spin.

Volunteers from local church put their faith into action
Volunteers from New Prospect Missionary Baptist Church in Detroit are working alongside family partners Jonathan Bell and Shetella Jonson this week to build their house on 25th Street. Members of the church have supported Habitat in the past by providing paper products for meals on the work site, but the 2005 Jimmy Carter Work Project is their first build as a church. In addition to providing labor for Jonathan and Shetella's house, New Prospect is also the sponsor.
When the church's senior pastor, Dr. Wilma R. Johnson, suggested sponsoring a Habitat house, the congregation jumped at the opportunity. "We rallied behind the pastor when we found out about this project," says Barbara Dickie, the group's leader and volunteer coordinator.
"It feels great to be able to sponsor this house as a church," she continues. "Christ talks about helping people outside the four walls of the church and this is an opportunity to do just that. If all the churches we have in the United States banded together, we could get a home built in every community."
When asked why she would take vacation time to build houses, Barbara doesn't hesitate to respond: "You're doing something you feel good about. We know we're doing something for the Lord. My birthday is Tuesday, and I plan to be here working that day."

Battle Beast - CD

Posted: 13/05/2013
This is simply an amazing and stunning metal album from the mighty Battle Beast. Some people had serious question marks when the band were forced last year to find a replacement for the fabulous Nitte Valo and what a replacement they have found ! The new vocalist is quickly becoming a genuine metal goddess, the amazingly talented Noora Louhimo has such a great range and is a true metal singer. For those who love the classic metal style with a modern twist and high quality production then this is most definitely for you.
I had the chance to listen to this a number of times on pre-listen and I was hooked immediately. The whole band perform well, but above all full credit has to go to the genius behind this band, Anton Kabanen, lead guitarist and master song writer he has delivered the basics to enable the whole band to deliver a tight and dynamic album.
The influences from Accept to Judas Priest to Iron Maiden are all discreetly in there but above all these are classy songs, some great riffs and songs you want to play over and over again, oh plus the vocals, god the great vocals !!!!
This is the second full album for Battle Beast and without a doubt a real step up, the first album was great but this pushes them to a new level. Lets hope they get the credit they deserve and for now I am just excited to have this simply stunning album in my collection !!! Seriously buy this and take note that The Beast really have arrived ! Play it Loud.

Udo Dirkschneider is the lead vocalist and Stefan Kaufmann the lead guitarist, both of them left Accept and have formed this first class Heavy Metal act. Rev Raptor is an album that simply will not let you down.
U.D.O. have a tried and tested formula and existing fans will absolutely love it, its classic heavy metal,kind of reminds me of Judas Priest with power riffs and cracking solos, but I just love Udo's growling vocals.
If you want something new in your collection and want to hear some pounding metal that is only meant to be played on volume 10 then go for this, yes there is the regular one album ballad. but even that is just a little respite before the onslaught continues, long live metal, long live UDO !!!

For those who remember Accept from the late 80's into the 90's you will also remember the growling vocals of the strutting legendary front man that is UDO. This is an album that has great chugging guitar riffs and a solid metal sound throughout, a couple of ballads but all in all pure metal. Turn up that volume and enjoy the ride. For those of you out there that like Juda Priest, Saxon, Maiden, BFMV, ACDC then this is well up your street - Wimp rock it ain't ! - enjoy !!!!

Load your CD and just sit back as you hear some great metal riffs, superb mix and a range of fantastic new songs, you can see the influences, opening with a touch of Metallica in the vocals, but then the middle sections often show some clever guitar work and catchy melodies, personally you can either over analyse this or just ramp up the volume and just enjoy what is a great metal album, Worth the money for sure !

PINEHURST The U.S. Open figures to be a little less interesting this week without Jason Gore around.
Gore went from an unknown to a central figure when the U.S. Open was at Pinehurst No. 2 in 2005. He was a stocky every-man, a guy struggling in golf's minor leagues who happened to catch a little magic on one of his sport's grandest stages.
Qualifying for the U.S. Open through a sectional tournament, Gore shared the second-round lead and played his way into the final pairing with Retief Goosen.
"I went to fill up the car with gas Saturday and I probably signed 50 autographs," Gore said.
Then he shot an 84 and finished tied for 49th.
This year, Gore failed to make it out of a sectional qualifier in California. Playing in a pressure-packed qualifier is an illustration of where he has been since leaving Pinehurst nine years ago.
Gore returned to the lower-level Web.com Tour, where weeks later he became the first player on that circuit's history to win three consecutive starts. One of those tournaments included a round of 59. He won the PGA Tour's 84 Lumber Classic a few weeks later, only the second time a player had won on the Web.com and PGA tours during the same year.
After that, Gore's career floundered, although he won once more on the Web.com Tour in 2010.
"I don't know what it was, I wish I could tell you," Gore said. "It wasn't that I lost my love for the game."
He contemplated retiring. He applied for the coaching job at his alma mater Pepperdine in 2012 but was passed over. After losing 40 pounds and having shoulder surgery, he decided to keep playing. He has three top-10 finishes this season on the Web.com Tour and tied for fourth at the PGA Tour's Puerto Rico Open in early March.
"I'm doing better," Gore said. "I kind of woke up and said I'm not going to make any more excuses. I'm going to work my tail off and look for the good things instead of the bad things."

Clyde Beffa Jr. | Send Email | Subscribe to My Sommelier Service
Had K&L co-owner and main wine buyer Clyde Beffa Jr. not read an article about the gentlemanly hobby of wine collecting in the February 1971 issue of Playboy, he might still be weighing the merits of Holsteins versus Jerseys instead of Château Margaux or Haut-Bailly. Beffa owned a dairy in Tracy, California, from 1967-1973, leaving the the business to co-found K&L Liquors, as it was known back then, in 1976. Clyde started traveling to Europe in 1982 and over the years, he has worked hard to build K&L into one of the nation's go-to sources for the world's diverse wines, developing relationships with winemakers and châteaux owners the world over. Clyde's passion is surely Bordeaux, especially the fabulous wines from Pauillac and St-Julien (like Pichon-Lalande and Léoville-Barton). When he's not drinking France's legendary reds, you'll likely find Clyde indulging in Sauvignon Blanc. A fan of Sancerre, Pouilly-Fumé and white Bordeaux, he'll also tuck into a bottle of Kiwi Sauv Blanc if there's no corkscrew around. These days you'll likely find Clyde extolling the virtues of underrated Bordeaux vintages like 1991, 1997, 1999, 2004 and 2006, or playing with his German Shepherd Sadie. Or you may see him in his vegetable garden and, once in a great while, on the golf course.

2013 Pontet-Canet, Pauillac Pre-Arrival
Review Date: 4-3-2014
94 points. Drink this while you're waiting for your 2009 and 2010 to age.
Price: $99.99
1991 Latour, Pauillac
Review Date: 3-11-2014
The best of the 1991s. This vintage was fabulous along the Gironde, with no frost to speak of.
Price: $699.99
2000 Calon-Ségur, St-Estèphe
Review Date: 3-11-2014
Very dark in color, the 2000 Calon-Ségur shows ripe cassis and mocha aromas that linger in the mouth.
Price: $149.99
1991 Palmer, Margaux (1.5L)
Review Date: 3-11-2014
One of the greatest wines from the most underrated vintage of the century in Bordeaux.
Price: $449.99
2004 Lanessan, Haut-Médoc
Review Date: 3-11-2014
When young, the wines of Lanessan are typically a deep, intense ruby color, with an elegant nose and fruity, floral aromas. On the palate, the structure is complex and dense, melting away harmoniously to a good, long finish. When they are older, the wines take on a terracotta tint and the nose becomes increasingly complex, with plum, then undergrowth aromas. The flavors are smooth, warm and perfectly harmonious, ending with silk tannins. The 2004 is classic Bordeaux style.
Price: $19.99
2011 Margaux, Margaux
Review Date: 2-25-2014
**½ 86% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Merlot, 2% Petit Verdot, 2% Cabernet Franc. The highest tannin level ever here, but you do not notice it. Stunning wine.
Price: $499.99
2012 Kalinda Santa Ynez Valley Sauvignon Blanc
Review Date: 2-13-2014
It took Alex and I three months and 60 samples to finally find a great-tasting Sauvignon Blanc for our Kalinda label. It came from one of our favorite regions in California: the Santa Ynez Valley, more specifically Los Olivos. This wine is so delicious right now. Dont over-chill it or youll miss this wines wonderful, fruity melon aromas mixed with citrus and white flowers. While the wine is medium-bodied, it has great acidity that brings it all into harmony. Rich on the entry with the fine acidity at the back end. Fruity and melony, yes, but in fine balance with lime and mineral undertones. Some sole, or crab or even lobster matches this well, and it will be great as a poolside sipper, too. And with the way our California weather has been, you might even be sitting poolside right now.
Top Value!
Price: $12.99
Wine ClubClub Price: $9.99
2011 Rouget, Pomerol
Review Date: 2-3-2014
*+ Another success here. The wines of Pomerol are the hits of the 2011 reds. This wine is spicy and racy. Delicious.
Price: $29.99
2004 Malmaison, Moulis
Review Date: 1-13-2014
One of the best values for ready-to-drink Bordeaux. Plenty of richness and a classic Bordeaux style for very little money. Best to drink in next five years.
Price: $14.99
1991 Labégorce, Margaux
Review Date: 12-17-2013
Garnet color on the lighter side. Mineral aromas with some sweetness. Great palate entry--rustic style but still very sweet on the finish. Old school Bordeaux and a fine value at under 30 dollars
Price: $29.99
1999 Labégorce, Margaux
Review Date: 10-28-2013
Perhaps the most "modern" of the wines from this property in the '90s. Very fruit forward and quite elegant. Delicious.
Price: $29.99
1989 Ducru-Beaucaillou, St-Julien
Review Date: 10-28-2013
Quite big for the vintage, but has softened up quite a bit in recent years. Good value.
Price: $179.99
2004 Peyrabon, Haut-Médoc
Review Date: 10-28-2013
We fell in love with this wine on our 2012 Bordeaux trip. Sold out twice already and our last batch just came in. A steal!
Price: $19.99
1990 Ducru-Beaucaillou, St-Julien
Review Date: 8-15-2013
Great vintage. Tannic but totally delicious now.
Price: $199.99
2003 Mouton-Rothschild, Pauillac
Review Date: 7-1-2013
Spicy, smoky aromas with meaty nuances and coffee on the nose. Toasty oak flavors with black fruits abounding. A very sexy wine with good palate impression. Power behind elegance right now. Very good. 76% Cabernet Sauvignon, 14% Merlot, 8% Cabernet Franc and 2% Petit Verdot. **.5
Price: $499.99

The Real Military Tech Behind Edge of Tomorrow's Guns and Gadgets
The new Tom Cruise movie, a gritty piece of sci-fi thats set on a repeat loop a la Groundhog Day, opens today. Many of the weapons and vehicles are based on real concepts from the U.S. military. Popular Mechanics checked in with Daniel Kramer, the effects supervisor, to get all of the details.
By John Brandon
The troops drop into the battlefield using wires attached to their Exo-Suits. The effects team used a real stunt device as inspiration. The Descender is a wire on a coil that lowers the fill-in actor into a scene. He or she can control the rate of the drop and slow down right before hitting the ground. The movie shows the massive wire coils in the dropship.

35 year old woman | Canyon Lake, TX, USA | Seeking men 32-37 within 90 miles of New Braunfels, TX
Active within 3 days
I like to enjoy the world around me, life is too intresting to not be curious. New adventures, cultures and playing outside always intrigue me. I love to travel and spend time listening to music, being outside or visiting with close friends. After having lived in Colorado for a while its good to be back in Texas. It's been said that I'm laid back and have a silly side. I love to be social and go out but also enjoy being at home relaxing. I have a good sense of adventure but am also grounded. I can be spontaneous but also take care of responsibilities. I appreciate live music, good food, being active and all kinds of water activities. I have lots of perspective and a lot of fun stories from different experiences. I think all great relationships begin with great chemistry. It's the spark that makes everything happen. So when that happens you have to respect it's rarity and indulge in it's specialness. I love life and believe it would be even better to have someone special to share that with. I have no perfect man in mind but would be great to meet a healthy and kind gentlemen.

Great product By Sean on 3/15/2014Sean would recommend this product to a friendMade my life easier. Breaks down easy and no leaks. The best part is peace of mind.
Check it out! By David on 12/14/2013David would recommend this product to a friendSometimes we as aquarists spend money only on filters, rock and stock for our tanks........DO NOT cheap out on this item. This check valve is super quiet and works well (tested it out) not to mention you get an extra union in your build. I am super satisfied with this item and will get it again on my next build.
Wouldn't Run a Tank without It By JC on 5/12/2013JC would recommend this product to a friendVery reliable and also simple to clean. It takes away the need of adding an additional union to the plumbing system.

Why do you only offer slip fit on check valves? I'm looking at the Spears tru union 3/4". I don't want to have to glue barb fittings then if I want to hard pipe I'll have to buy a new valve,
I know they come with fpt ,better yet offer both options like the cepex ball valve.
Bulk Reef Supply Hi Leroy,
I apologize for not having a threaded option for you. I have not seen the clear swing check valves with threaded unions but if our supplier has them I will suggest we carry them in the future.
For now you can always add a pipe adapter to them to make them threaded.
I hope this helps!
Have a great day :)

Do you guys recommend placing these in the return lines routinely? How much will they decrease the flow back into the tank due to increased resistance in the return line? Thanks!
Bulk Reef Supply Hi Sean,
The best thing to do would be to set your system up so there it is not a problem if there is no check valves (so you have enough room in the sump to handle the water). Then if you want to, you can add check valves for convenience if you like (you will have less issues like skimmer overflows if the sump doesn't fill with a bunch of water every-time the power goes out). They will have a bit of an effect on your flow but for the most part its not something you would notice with the naked eye.

To piggyback on Richard's question. I'm using the braided vinyl for my return with the CPR return. I need to get a check valve in there as well. So with this valve would I be able to use PVC cement to attach it in my vinyl line? Or would I be able to use more ratcheting clamps? Just need to know how I can get a check valve in there safely.
Bulk Reef Supply Hi Andres,
These check valves come ready for rigid pipe. In order to use flexible tubing you would need to first glue in a barb fitting, for example the street x barb fitting. From there you can put your braided tubing over the barb and secure with ratchet clamps.

Does this check valve attach to pvc pipe or flexible tubing? If pvc are the connections threaded or smooth?
Thank you.
Bulk Reef Supply Hi Richard,
The check valve is a slip connection for pipe (which would be smooth).

Will this 1" fit on reg white 1" pvc ?
Bulk Reef Supply Hey Shannon,
It sure will!

My return from sump to display tank is 3/4" clear tubing. Would this product be best to prevent back siphoning?
Bulk Reef Supply Hi Becky,
This product would work just fine for that purpose. Just keep in mind that the fittings on this valve are slip fittings (for PVC pipe) so you will want to glue in a pair of barb adapters like the ones linked below so that you can use it with your flexible tubing.
The golden rule of plumbing is that every job takes three trips to the store. While this can be frustrating locally it can be much much worse when shopping online. Being short a fitting or two can delay a plumbing project for days. Here are some quick tips to avoid this.
- Plan your plumbing on paper
- Don't skimp on unions. Unions allow for easy breakdown and maintenance as well as remove the need for precise elbow placement. Use them as often as possible.
- When in doubt order extra. We happily accept returns for a full refund (less shipping) on all unused fittings within one month of purchase. A few extra bucks in return shipping is less frustrating then a project delay.
