Kings of road take Game 1
Devils burn big chance to earn edge on home ice Kopitar's perfect poise in overtime ices big win in Cup opener
NEWARK, N.J. -- The Los Angeles Kings are becoming more of a road monster with each passing opportunity in these Stanley Cup playoffs.
The Kings moved to 9-0 on the road and took a 1-0 lead in the Cup final with a 2-1 overtime win over the New Jersey Devils here on Wednesday night.
Kings centre Anze Kopitar beefed up his Conn Smythe Trophy bid with the winner as he broke in unguarded on Devils legend Martin Brodeur before beating him with a nasty deke before 17,625 fans at the Prudential Center.
"Game 1 has been so important for us all playoffs. We've started on the road and known it was important for us to get that win and we've done it every time," said Kings winger Dustin Penner. "This was a typical Game 1 of the Stanley Cup in that both teams were a little jittery. The puck was rolling more in this game than it was flat. The nerves get at you and you try to get too cute. It's best to keep it simple and I know you've heard it again and again but it's just best to try to get pucks in."
The Kings now have a decided edge historically, because 78 per cent of Game 1 winners have gone on to capture the Cup. But don't tell Kings coach Darryl Sutter.
"We've won one game on the road. The season started tonight," sniffed Sutter.
The Devils will look at this game as a chance that slipped away as they came on after the first period to hold an edge both in territory and scoring opportunities. A wide-open-net miss by New Jersey defenceman Mark Fayne in the third period will likely keep him, his teammates and coach Peter DeBoer awake.
"I think we're going to have to find another level. That's a team you've got to play 60 minutes against," said DeBoer. "The good news is, we started in the same hole against Philly, started in the same hole against the Rangers, and the guys responded. It would have been nice to get a bounce, but we didn't deserve to win the game tonight."
Kings centre Mike Richards cared little for characterizations of the game.
"A win is a win. Especially at this time of the season. Sometimes you play your best and you don't win," said the Kenora, Ont., native. "And sometimes you don't have your best stuff and you win. That's sports. And for us getting the first win in this series is big."
L.A. popped a soft goal by Brodeur in the first period and then hung on for the rest of the night until Kopitar put an end to the extra time.
Escaping the first period with a lead was a victory for the Kings and a missed opportunity for the Devils. Los Angeles entered the game following an eight-day layoff and one plot line focused on them losing momentum after a swift and easy-looking trip to the Cup. Many suggested the Devils were more tournament-tough and would be sharper in the early going of the series, however, that theory dripped away like condensation from the overworked air conditioners here in the shadow of the Big Apple. Los Angeles opened up the scoring with an even-strength goal midway through the first period at 9:56 as Colin Fraser potted his first of the playoffs.
Kings centre Jordan Nolan chased the puck and Devils blue-liner Andy Greene behind Brodeur's net and used his body to first pin Greene against the boards before dislodging the puck and feeding it to Colin Fraser in the slot, who whipped a wrist shot into the Jersey net. The second period featured little offence and the Devils finished the frame with just four shots but scored on their last of the frame when Anton Volchenkov recorded his first of the post-season.
Late in the second period, the Kings had a couple of chances to gain control of the puck and clear the zone but were foiled and the Devils pounced. Volchenkov grabbed the disc off the sidewall and fired a shot at the net that bounced off L.A. defender Slava Voynov and past Kings goalie Jonathan Quick.
"There are tough bounces at this time of the year but we're past that mentally," said Penner. "You can't let a goal like the one they scored deflate you."

"Rito Tinto". Do you mean Rio Tinto ?
Yes, thanks.
IN MINING circles it has been widely assumed that the age of mega-mergers that built mining titans such as BHP Billiton and Rio Tinto is over. Except of course, as everyone agreed, the inevitable big deal between Glencore and Xstrata. Ivan Glasenberg, Glencore's prickly boss, has long talked about Xstrata as if the tie-up had already taken place. On February 2nd it seemed that he was close to getting what he wanted. Xstrata admitted that it was in talks with Glencore about an all-share merger of equals.
It should succeed. Mining is a business that spawned plenty of talk of huge deals before the financial crisis as Chinese demand for commodities boomed and cash was easy to borrow. Xstrata itself was linked with Brazil's Vale and even attempted its own nil-premium takeover of Anglo American. Now the assumption is that financing a huge takeover would be near impossible, with banks unwilling to lend. The mining giants have instead concentrated on organic growth and smaller bolt-on acquisitions rather than transformational deals.
Xstrata and Glencore are different because they are so similar. Xstrata was born over a decade ago when Glencore, a commodity trader with mines of its own, spun off its coal assets. Glencore still has a 34% stake in Xstrata, which has rapidly grown through the dealmaking prowess of its boss, Mick Davis, to become one of the world's biggest mining companies. Both firms are listed in London but are based a few miles apart in low-tax Switzerland. Both bosses are shrewd South Africans and fiercely competitive.
And both firms are worth similar sums. Glencore is valued at nearly $45 billion, Xstrata at about $50 billion. Glencore went public last year, raising $11 billion with an IPO. Most observers interpreted the flotation as both the savvy Mr Glasenberg cashing out at the top of the commodity market and a way to put a market price on Glencore—a condition for the deal with Xstrata. Glencore's shares have sagged as investors try to figure out a company that is part miner (with some ropy assets in risky parts of the world) and part successful commodity trader (it makes pots of cash delivering metal, oil and agricultural products from the ground to customers around the globe). The company also prides itself on its huge network of traders with their ears to the ground all over the world to be the first to hear about opportunities to make money. And Glencore already markets much of Xstrata's minerals.
A deal would forge the world's fourth-largest miner with revenues of some $200 billion. For Glencore, which is so dominant in trading a range of commodities that it is unclear where it might grow in that business, the merger brings the opportunity for fast expansion in mining (despite signs of a Chinese slowdown commodity prices will remain high for years to come). As for Xstrata, its skill as a mining company is to take underperforming assets and restructure them operationally and financially. Glencore has plenty of these.
Still, for Xstrata the attraction of the deal is less obvious. The company already has impressive plans for organic growth, although some analysts interpreted these as a negotiating chip to boost the company's value before Glencore came knocking. And it has a unique structure among the big miners in that it is hugely decentralised, with most operational decisions taken by the people on the ground (Xstrata's head office contains a handful of people rather than many hundreds like its competitors). This may not fit well with Glencore's more top-heavy management structure. But with an approach by Glencore hanging over Mr Davis, some say, he could not effectively pursue his own strategy for Xstrata so decided to get on with a tie-up.
The biggest impediment to a deal had seemed to be the differences—or similarities, depending on how one looks at it—between Mr Glasenberg and Mr Davis. They are said to concur about many things, but they rarely agree about the value of each other's assets. They appear to have come to an understanding that will forge a predatory new mining giant that may once again revive the days of the mega merger.

"Rito Tinto". Do you mean Rio Tinto ?
Yes, thanks.
It's interesting how prominent Common Wealth-based mining companies are, as opposed to the surprising absence of any major American mining company among the top giants in the field.
Of course, Glencore and Xstrata are of a slightly different nature in that they are relatively far more decentralized (geographically and nationally) and cannot be as easily associated with any countries.
Now the reason why the timing is right.
Anglo American Plc is an M&A wetdream. That is their target,full stop.
They are in each others pockets anyway, Glencore owning 35%+ of Xstrada, that was inevitable.
Well, this bodes ill for commodity hedge funds and places like Goldman and Phibro
A merger of this sort will only create a monolith with more ability to profit from price fluctuations - lets read this as higher prices means more profits as the costs of extraction aren't going to change significantly. This works ab initio against consumers. The economies of scale argument doesn't hold, as each mining resources has its own economics / operating costs (no new ones being created by the merger anyway), and the product sold isn't retail in nature. A very clear example of why, sometimes, the market dynamics have very little to contribute to general benefit as the only + outcome anticipated is higher prices for these companies.

Gwyneth Paltrow is a real life country star
Gwyneth Paltrow is taking her first steps into the music industry – the actress is preparing to release her debut record.
The Oscar-winner plays a country music singer in her upcoming film "Country Strong," opposite real life music star Tim McGraw and actress/singer Leighton Meester.
Paltrow, who recently admitted her husband, Coldplay rocker Chris Martin, taught her to play guitar for the film, has recorded the title track and she has now been tipped for chart success as movie bosses prepare to release the song as a single.
"Country Strong," which features backing vocals from Vince Gill and Patty Griffin, will be released on August 23.
Gwyneth Paltrow & Bryce Dallas Howard offer postpartum depression advice
Gwyneth Paltrow and Bryce Dallas Howard have teamed up to offer new mums advice on how to cope with postpartum depression.
Paltrow battled the illness after the birth of son Moses, her second child, in 2006, while The Village actress Howard recently admitted she too had gone through a period of depression after she welcomed her first child, Theo, in 2007.
The pair is offering fans help with the devastating condition in Paltrow's Goop newsletter, with the Oscar winner opening up about the "darkest and most painfully debilitating" time of her life.
She writes, "When my son, Moses, came into the world in 2006, I expected to have another period of euphoria following his birth, much the way I had when my daughter was born two years earlier. Instead I was confronted with one of the darkest and most painfully debilitating chapters of my life. For about five months I had, what I can see in hindsight as postnatal depression, and since that time, I have wanted to know more about it. Not only from a hormonal and scientific standpoint, and why so many of us experience it, but from the perspective of other women who have gone through it."
Howard goes on to reveal how she "felt nothing" at her son's arrival, and went through months of "shower breakdowns" where she would hide her emotional outbursts in the bathroom.
She later admits she found Brooke Shields' book on her own struggle with post-natal depression a "revelation."
Paltrow has also enlisted the help of two female doctors to offer readers a medical analysis of the condition.
Gwyneth Paltrow gets an unhealthy lesson with London chefs
Gwyneth Paltrow was given a calorific task while training with chefs in a London restaurant kitchen – she was put in charge of the deep-fat fryer.
The "Iron Man" star is famous for her notoriously strict diets, enduring a macrobiotic plan and using intense exercise and yoga regimes to keep her slender figure.
The actress recently admitted that living in Britain and becoming a mother of two has cost her her once ultra-healthy lifestyle, and she proved she's no longer counting the calories while cooking with chefs at London's River Cafe – she relished the chance to deep-fry everything in sight.
On her Goop newsletter, she reveals, "A few weeks ago, I had the pleasure of spending the day working in London's famous River Cafe, and it was incredible! The kitchen runs with a precision you would expect but a calm you perhaps would not.
"Once service started, I was stationed at the deep fat fryer (Delight! Fried zucchini! Fried anchovies!), and also helped Danny on pasta with his very busy day. It was an experience I won't soon forget."
Gwyneth Paltrow no-sun rule backfires
Gwyneth Paltrow learned that staying out of the sun could have health consequences when she was diagnosed with a severe Vitamin D deficiency.
Like many stars, the "Iron Man" actress insisted on staying out of the sun and covered up for summer trips, but then she learned her caution was costing her good health.
In her latest Goop.com newsletter to fans and friends, the actress has opened up about her secret health battle and advised others how to make sure they get just the right amount of sun with a little help from top doctor Frank Lipman.
Paltrow writes, "I suffered a pretty severe Tibial plateau fracture a few years ago (requiring surgery) which lead the orthopedic surgeon to give me a bone scan, at which point it was discovered I had the beginning stages of osteopenia.
"This led my western/eastern doctors in New York to test my Vitamin D levels, which turned out to be the lowest they had ever seen (not a good thing). I went on a prescription strength level of Vitamin D and was told to … spend a bit of time in the sun!
"I was curious if this was safe, having been told for years to stay away from its dangerous rays, not to mention a tad bit confused as we are all well schooled in the dangers of overexposure to the sun."
Paltrow admits she took Dr. Lipman's advice and has now reversed her Vitamin D diagnosis, and she has called on the expert to offer readers tips on how to enjoy the summer sun's rays "sensibly."
He writes: "Numerous studies have shown that optimizing your Vitamin D levels may actually help prevent as many as 16 different types of cancer including pancreatic, lung, breast, ovarian, prostate, and colon cancers. And the best way to optimize Vitamin D levels is through safe, smart and limited sunscreen-free exposure to the sun."
Gwyneth Paltrow dismisses Madonna feud rumors
Gwyneth Paltrow's representative has dismissed reports the actress has fallen out with her pal Madonna, amid ongoing rumors the pair's friendship has ended in a bitter feud.
The longtime friends have been spending more time apart since the pop star left London and moved back to America following her 2008 split from former husband Guy Ritchie.
Speculation about a rift between the pair was recently fueled when Paltrow admitted she has been experiencing problems with a friend.
She told Britain's Vogue magazine, "I can be mean. I can cave in to gossip. I can ice people out and I can definitely harbor revenge. In fact, I'm having a situation right now with a friend where I'm feeling angry."
But a rep for the "Iron Man" star is adamant Paltrow's comments were not aimed at Madonna, insisting the pair is still close.
The spokesperson tells GossipCop.com, "(It's) not true. (They are) still friends," while a rep for Madonna has also dismissed the stories as "B.S."
Gwyneth Paltrow owes slim 'Iron Man' shape to strict five-day diet
Gwyneth Paltrow is giving fans the chance to get into "Iron Man" shape by sharing the diet she followed to shed her "extra winter weight" in her online newsletter.
The actress turned to business partner and trainer Tracy Anderson to help her get slim and trim for her role as Pepper Potts in the "Iron Man" sequel – and admits the strict diet the health and fitness guru put her on was life-changing.
In a post on her GOOP.com website, Paltrow writes, "I have just traversed the globe doing promotion for 'Ironman 2′ (sic), getting asked the same question repeatedly: how did I get in shape for the movie? Well, I am not going to lie, the process was an arduous one.
"To really get in line, I followed her (Anderson) strict diet for 5 days to lose my extra winter weight. Now, I am not a good dieter and I cannot ever do it for long, only when there is a goal in sight, which there was in this case.
"This regime got me into the shape of my life and I continue to return to it when I have a specific event so that I can do ridiculous things like be a 37 year old mother of two and wear shorts!"
The diet includes a green tea and 'clean shake,' made up of almonds, blueberries and Dr. Alejandro Junger's Move and Nourish powders for breakfast, kale juice, low carbohydrate and low calorie tortilla wraps and dates for lunch, grilled chicken, soups and salads and almonds as snacks throughout the day.
Gwyneth Paltrow laughs off Scarlett Johansson 'feud'
Gwyneth Paltrow has laughed off "lame" rumors she fell out with Scarlett Johansson on the set of "Iron Man 2″ – insisting she "adores" the young actress.
Paltrow reprises her role as Pepper Potts in the superhero sequel opposite Robert Downey, Jr. and Johansson joins the cast as the villainous Black Widow.
Rumors of a rift between the pair have been rife ever since they filmed the movie, but Paltrow is adamant she gets on well with her 25-year-old co-star – and especially enjoys her "dirty sense of humor."
She tells People.com, "People tell me, 'Oh you had a fight.' They're pitting you against each other and I just think, 'Why do we need to make a problem between women?' I think that's the part that's lame.
"I adore Scarlett. I loved having her on set. She is really funny. She swears a lot. She has a dirty sense of humor. She loves to cook. She's like a girl after my own heart."
Mickey Rourke's rep dismisses Gwyneth Paltrow feud
A representative for Mickey Rourke has dismissed rumors the actor hates working with Gwyneth Paltrow, saying he holds his "Iron Man 2″ co-star in the "highest regard."
"The Wrestler" actor sent online gossips into a spin after describing one of his work colleagues as "a pain in the ass" on set.
He told MovieHole.net, "I worked with an actress recently who, despite having a reputation as a good actress, [bleep] herself when that little red light comes on.
"She's fooled everyone into thinking she's a lot better than she is. Working with someone like that is a pain in the ass."
Rourke was reported to have aimed his rant at Paltrow after a post on Twitter.com, purportedly from the actor, named the Oscar-winner.
But a representative for the star has confirmed the Twitter account in question does not belong to the real Mickey Rourke, who has a lot of respect for Paltrow.
The spokesperson tells GossipCop.com, "(Rourke) does not have a Twitter account (and he) holds Gwyneth in the highest regard."
Gwyneth Paltrow: 'I couldn't work without kids' nanny'
Gwyneth Paltrow is glad she finally employed a nanny to care for her two young children – because she "couldn't work" without the additional home help.
The "Shakespeare In Love" star and husband Chris Martin have two kids, Apple, five, and four-year-old Moses, and they refused to employ a nanny for years – with Paltrow taking time out from acting to focus on motherhood.
But the 37 year old admits she's now hired a professional to help take care of her children, and she couldn't imagine working without the "life-saver."
She tells Britain's The Sun, "I have a nanny and she's just like part of our family. She's lovely and a life-saver and I couldn't work without her.
"I couldn't be here without her because she loves my children and they love her."
Gwyneth Paltrow failed to bond with son
Gwyneth Paltrow was plagued by doubts following the birth of her second child, because she "didn't feel anything" for her baby son Moses.
The Hollywood actress has two children with her rocker husband Chris Martin – Apple, five, and Moses, four.
But the "Iron Man" star admits that when her son was born in 2006, she failed to bond with him and kept her post-natal problems secret until the Coldplay star confronted her over the issue.
She tells Vogue magazine, "At my lowest, I was a robot. I just didn't feel anything. I had no maternal feelings for him – it was awful. I had no thoughts of harming him, thank God, but I couldn't connect, and still, when I look at pictures of him at three months old, I don't remember that time.
"My problem was that I never acknowledged anything was wrong. I just carried on as normal, and I just felt crazy. It was Chris, actually, who said out loud that something was wrong. And that was such a relief when he did because it was confirmation that it wasn't just me."
Paltrow admits she managed to work through her emotional issues with her husband's help, and found a new exercise program helped lift her from her misery.
She adds, "That was the beginning. That was when I cracked it – I started exercising and I started thinking about working again. That's my problem, though. Sometimes I have a hard time saying what I need to say. I'll be annoyed. I'll stew. I'll build a wall around me and give off the silent treatment – and I know that's not healthy."

Plant ID help!
subk3November 15, 2012
I picked up several herbs last spring that I'd never grown--motherwart, camphor, pineapple sage and some others. One that I thought was camphor until I was looking at pictures and realized that camphor is the plant next to my mystery plant. (One day I'll actually keep a garden journal!)
The mystery plant is a medium/dark green with very large elongated leaves. The stems of the leaves all come from a center sort of like a hosta but not so organized or stiff. The leaves are as long as 10" and as wide as 4". It has remained green through our first few freezing nights.
When I bought it I was told it was a medicinal herb that was good under bandages and on wounds. (Not that I experimented or anything!)
Any ideas what this might be?

Another three hundred
mile day with some interesting bits of countryside. The journey was
marked by being caught in a major thunderstorm the like of which we
had never seen and we were only a mile and a half from the hotel.
Cars came to a halt on the motorway unable to clear their
windscreens. We were saturated within seconds and I was seriously
worried about how close the lightening bolts ...

"New hydroponic sketches of freakdom from Sheffield that should satisfy those of you with that roaring appetite for freedumb jams and methnic drone-outs. I hear delerious barkings of glue factory workers, the hanging heaviness of the local nut houses 'drum and squal' therapy sessions, pockmarked harmonium hymns to Harry Pussy, and whole bunch of giblets that I can't quite put my fingers in, but it sure does make one of my eyes twitch, so I say let the sweltering fog descend, we don't need no torch." – Dylan Nyoukis.
Great new all-improvised junk ritual and ethno-blurt from the winning duo of Jon Marshall (Hunter Gracchus/La Drapeau et al) and Ben Morris (Chora/Le Drapeau Noir et al). A little more over-loaded than any of the players' previous outings, this has almost a Futura/Red Records 'feel', with the kind of odd percussive miniatures, contorted almost-jazz and convulsive vocalese that would situate it somewhere downwind of Jac Berrocal w/aspects of the more ferocious passages of Richard Youngs' Festival or even Flower/Corsano factored in. There's a tactile, hands-on quality to the jams that is well beyond the usual improv furniture-polishers and if the sound of swallowing your own tongue makes you a sound-poet then these guys are friggin Lettrists. A great set that mixes psych, bandstand rocking freedom and hands-on DIY ritual to maximal psychoactive effect. Edition of 100 copies.

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Riveting medical memoir speaks for 'gowned exhibit'
THIS riveting medical memoir opens with a "warning shot," the snapping sound of an emergency room doctor pulling on rubber gloves.
Julie Devaney, a 22-year-old grad student, has arrived at a Vancouver hospital, desperately seeking help. She has had 12 bloody bowel movements over 16 hours and is in excruciating pain.
This snap of the rubber glove punctuates the beginning of a series of invasive scopes, enemas, medications and surgeries for Devaney, who is eventually diagnosed with ulcerative colitis. And later re-diagnosed with Crohn's disease.
It's a complicated story told in a compelling way.
One may surmise that Devanay, a Toronto author and health-care activist, has written this book as a manifesto for Canadian health-care reform. And it's true that since she had colon-removal surgery, Devaney has taken her experiences on the road, performing from a gurney on stage at health-care conferences and medical schools.
But this volume is more than simply a political manifesto. My Leaky Body is significant because Devaney allows the reader deep into the life of a chronically ill but normal-looking person.
We follow this smart-as-a-whip young scholar and political activist through half a dozen years where every day is dominated by her experiences of inflammatory bowel disease. Devaney often switches on the bathroom fan and lets the tap run to hide her sobs and cries from her housemates.
Her journey is intensely private. But with aching prose and wry humour, she shares the intimacies of her life and offers a glimpse into her rage and determination.
My Leaky Body (this title is a reference to a feminist concept) introduces the reader to a real live "bed blocker," a chronically ill patient who is one of those "not really sick" people who "clogs" the ER of the local hospital.
It is a must-read for each of us who thinks there are definite answers to medical problems. It is a must-read for those who think that chronic illness must surely get easier to bear. And, yes, it is a must-read for medical professionals. All of them.
Is there hope in this story? Sure, but it's not an easy hope. It is a gritty hope, scarred by the nastiness of defensive medical professionals and know-it-all naturopaths. It is a hope that survives despite the ponderous bureaucracies of university faculties and the petty politics of the doctor's office.
There are exquisite pieces of wisdom in this book.
Devaney prescribes a curriculum for medical students based on collaboration, kindness and respect for the patient's bodily experiences.
She knows what's needed to cure the medical system: money, manners and miracles.
And it's time, she rails, for us to get rid of the divide that says the patient is "broken" and the doctor is "flawless." Rather, both are human. Flawed, real, and mortal.
In unexpected flights of fancy, Devaney introduces the reader to her heroes. During a particularly awful hospital visit, she channels the spirit of Canadian reformer Tommy Douglas, who brings her a compelling message: "Dream no little dreams."
Another time, Devaney makes a pilgrimage to the home of Mexican artist Frida Kahlo, whose political art coincided with a period of illness.
Devaney hopes that her single story can say something to our world. Her life ambition is to "give voice to the sheeted slab on the operating table, the gowned exhibit in the bed."
Devaney's voice is strong, sometimes strident. But it is a voice that will echo the next time the reader is sitting in a crowded ER, waiting a turn.

Best of Denver 2015
2015 Edition
One Sunday in late March, we drove through the Ballpark neighborhood into RiNo with a former Denver resident who'd moved east thirty years before — long before the River North industrial area became known as RiNo, in fact, and a decade before Coors Field opened in April 1995. That year, the LoDo Historic District was only seven years old, and the old warehouses were just beginning to fill with restaurants and residences that would transform the neighborhood into the town's premier entertainment area. But the transformations didn't end there, of course. They kept moving up Market Street, up Larimer Street, into the Platte Valley, spilling off to the left and right until today the swath of downtown from Cherry Creek and the Platte well up Brighton Boulevard is exploding, with people crowding outdoor decks and outdoor patios and fighting for parking and seats at the town's hottest new restaurants. "What the hell happened here?" our visitor wondered. "Was there even a 'here' before?"
This is the 32nd Best of Denver issue, and in many ways the city it celebrates is almost unrecognizable from the town featured in the Best of Denver 1984. Through more than thirty years, though, two things have never changed about the Best of Denver: Although we've always polled our readers for their choices in over a hundred categories, those represent just a fraction of the total number of categories in the Best of Denver — and we play our own choices much more prominently. (Short explanation why: For decades, McDonald's was the readers' choice for Best French Fries, and while we respect the popular vote, an issue packed with answers like that would have all the nutrition of a fast-food meal.) And from the start, we made the cow the symbol of the Best of Denver. Why? Because back in the about-to-bust days of 1984, city boosters were worried that Denver's cowtown reputation was holding us back.
Tell that to the people we ran into that same Sunday in late March, who were leaving a Garth Brooks concert, part of a nine-show extravaganza that was testament not only to this town's cowtown heritage, but also to Denver's role as the center of the Rocky Mountain West. Events large and small draw people from hundreds of miles around to experience the same booming city that residents enjoy every day. Some of the concert-goers were headed to the renovated Union Station, today a true transportation hub where you can drop big money on a meal or a room — but which also provides the Best Free Entertainment in town. The Best of Denver has become a giant beast of an issue that celebrates so much about what we love in this city, including its cowtown heritage. While we can't honor everything every year, taken as a whole, 32 years of the Best of Denver add up to one big love letter to our town. We're higher than ever on the Mile High City.

I have never done a Flanders red or any sour for that matter what I want to know is I am going to brew Jamils Flanders recipe and pitch the Roselare blend into jt. Is there a reason why I should secondary it or just leave it in the primary the whole time until bottling.
You will want to secondary after the primary yeast has dropped from suspension. You do not want it setting on autolyzed yeast for a year or two while the sour flavors develop.
So about how long is that going to take is it a couple of weeks or months whats a ball park figure. I'm trying to plan some ahead.
I plan on only pitching Roselares so once the gravity stabilizes I am going to transfer to secondary and let it stay for a year. Sound good? Can I use the yeast cake for new wort?
you can certainly reuse it but logic dictates that everything in there grows at different rates so what you wind up with isn't going to be what you started with (it could be better, but i don't know, i've never used roselare).
as for how long to leave it on, historically, flanders reds are not left on the cake like lambics... that being said, my flanders has been on the yeast cake for a while now (3 months?) - i should probably rack it to the barrel soon...
I left a flanders on the yeast for 7 months no problem. Very, very sour too. Roeselare.
What temps are you guys fermenting at
Room. 75ish. I have a fermentation chamber but don't use that for the sours.
That's cool I will be doing mine about the same temp in the closet. Thanks for you guys help. Any other tips I should know about sours?

The notion of preparing cities for climate disruption is somewhat novel, though of course cities have always been built to adapt to natural conditions. What's new is that almost all cities must now plan for changes in the natural conditions they take for granted – changes likely to be substantial but which, in their specifics, are maddeningly difficult to predict with precision or confidence. (snip)
As I was reading the piece – which is excellent, well worth tracking down – it struck me that the signal features of good climate-proofing have something in common: Conservatives are going to hate them.
1. Climate-proofing costs a lot of (government) money. (WT-shocker!)
2. It requires a lot of (government) planning. (more fascism)
3. It requires both physical and social density. (essentially, this would revolve around forcing people into big cities)
4. It requires decentralized systems. (government being able to change things without the input of pesky citizens)
5. It requires openness and adaptability. (changing things up regardless of whether it breaks existing laws, moors, and that pesky Constitution)
Dave goes on to give his own reasons for why Conservatives would hate these ideas, but misses that American Conservatives are actually Classical Liberals, and aren't big on authority and government. On numbers 3 and 4 he writes
3. Conservatives are individualists, not communitarians
4. The conservative mind is, perhaps above all else, drawn to hierarchy and authority.
Number 3 is correct. Number 4 then contradicts. Number 4 would be about Classical Conservatives and, interestingly, Classical Socialists. Classical Conservatism is also referred to as Daddy Government in terms of involvement in people's lives. American Conservatives are against that.
Finally, what's missing is the notion of Warmists actually changing their own lives voluntarily to match their belief set.

Do you think wearing on-body cameras on duty should be mandatory?
With all of the duty holsters available today, it's amazing to think the only option for police officers used to be black leather. Now there's also laminate, nylon, and all manner of synthetics. For finish there's basketweave, plain, or high gloss. Not to mention increasingly innovative retention devices in holsters from level 1 to 3. Here's a selection of holsters for duty carry encompassing all of these variations.
Some officers don't give patrol gloves a second thought. It's time that you did. Gloving up can mean much more than protecting yourself from inclement weather. Today's patrol gloves can also protect against microbes, bacteria, blood-borne pathogens, needles, and even knives. They can help you scale chain-link fences, keep your extremities warm, and give you a better grip when you need it.
So what makes a good duty light? It all depends on what you want to use it for. Obviously, you want it to illuminate an area or areas, but there are other considerations.

Arizona Cardinals
ESPN: Reid, Chiefs 'on verge of a deal'
Arizona Cardinals coaching candidate Andy Reid is on the verge of a deal with the Kansas City Chiefs according to ESPN's Chris Mortensen and Adam Schefter.
Mortensen spoke with Mike & Mike on Arizona Sports 620 Thursday and discussed how the nine-hour meeting between Reid and the Chiefs went.
"The Chiefs were trying to close the deal with Andy Reid [on Wednesday]," Mortensen said. "At this point I'm going to be surprised if Andy Reid isn't the Chiefs coach. Now, I've been surprised before, but there is a lot of activity there.
"Someone would say, 'why Kansas City over Arizona?', well one thing is in Kansas City, Clark Hunt the owner of the Chiefs, will let Andy build this thing how he wants it."
The Chiefs' general manager is Scott Pioli.
Mortensen went on to say that Arizona has "more clutter" than Kansas City and that he believes the Chiefs, who have interviewed at least three coaches, will be the first domino to fall of all the open coaching positions.
Reid was originally scheduled to fly to Arizona after his meeting with Kansas City and interview with the Cardinals on Thursday.
The Cardinals have talked with defensive coordinator Ray Horton, are still expected to talk with Reid and plan to interview Denver offensive coordinator Mike McCoy this weekend.

Sad break-up music plays. The damned moon is still full and perfect and lovely when Lois goes up to meet Clark on the Daily Planet roof. Did they get their jobs back when we weren't looking? Clark has a romantic table set up with candles and wine. There are lights strung up everywhere. Lois looks touched. "I'm glad you still came up after what we talked about on the street," he says. I know I just watched that scene but I don't remember what they talked about. They... argued? I think? Lois thanks him but looks sad. "What is it?" he asks. "You know you can tell me anything." She tells him all about working for the Blur lately. "I've been sharing things with him that I couldn't share with you." "It's probably just the reporter blood in you, right?" Clark asks hopefully. Dude, you just talked to her. You know that ain't it. Self-flagellating fool! "It was more than that," Lois says. "But we... I talked to him and it's over. He doesn't want me in his life anymore." Clark, willing to take scraps, tells her, "But there's someone standing right here that still does." "It's OK," he adds when she doesn't respond. She tells him he doesn't have to be OK with her being in love with another man. Well, she doesn't spell it out for him, but that's the implication. She goes on about how she wishes she could explain what it's like to have a duty, a calling. Clark looks sad. "It made my feelings for you and everything else seem..." she trails off. "Selfish," Clark finishes for her. He gives her a speech to show he knows exactly what she means, but she doesn't look like she believes him. "I guess with him gone," Clark says, "am I enough?" Lois stares at him but says nothing. He stares back. They stare sadly at each other... And that is your cliffhanger for the week. A sloppily executed "love triangle for two" with a mopey relationship chat straight out of the early ears of Clark + Lana. Hopefully things will perk up the next episode.
Discuss this episode in our forums, then see what other superbeings have crossed Clark in our guide to the Heroes and Villains of Smallville!

Fifty five years after the signing of the Treaty of Rome, which founded what is now the European...
Fifty five years after the signing of the Treaty of Rome, which founded what is now the European Union, the EU increasingly finds itself on the verge of disintegration. As European politicians routinely put national interest and popularity at home first and blame the EU and the the euro for most of their countries' economic troubles, many fear it's just a matter of time before the house comes tumbling down.
Comments (32)
Europe's problems are a mere foreshadowing of what is in store for the U.S. Meanwhile, the Collectivist in Chief wages verbal war on job creators in a desperate attempt to secure reelection and finish what he started with collectivized health care. Romney's not much better, but his election will do what Reagan's did- slow down the inexorable move to socialism.
You're already socialistic. You're headed for Communism."
He actually said not what you think he said
The 22nd Congress of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union was held from October 17 to October 31 1961
Target year was 1981
And once again, many of us believe it is totally irresponsible for the narrowly-based US and UK financial media - which has both hated and feared the Euro from the very beginning - to engage in what is effectively rabble rousing.
"to fend off a worldwide depression"
Maybe the Europeans should counter by pointing out how devastatingly bad too Strong a Dollar would be for the United States and the vast majority of its citizens and how we all therefore NEED the Euro and Eurozone as strong as possible, to fend off a worldwide depression that would equal that of the 1930s.
I think you put it too simply minded
Euro and Eurozone and No (Euro and Eurozone)
Worry about the dollar becomming too strong?
The dollar, euro, and yen are becomming valueless. The race is only to find out which one achieves that status the soonest.
Does Zimbabwe have their economic disaster because the Zim dollar is too strong? Hell, it is not worth the cost of printing.
The disaster on the way is the result of out of control social program promises that require printing money to support. It is printed and given away.
And, while examining the reliability of the promises, do a little reading about the Greeks who are supposed to rely upon govt. for drugs and healthcare. No medication available for something simple such as diabetes. Sellers won't take Greek promises for the supplies.
The problems with the PIIGS just happened to be the first countries to have full exposure. The UK and USA are well on the road to achieving the same scoring of an Own Goal.
As for the US and the Pols running things "responsibly" look at any large city government. They can pretty easily look at the check book. Looming disaster is evident but ignored. The people in state govts come from this group, and the ones in Washington come from the state govt. pols with "experience." They have spent their careers being intentionally ignorant. The world is full of Greeks in training.
More fear mongering by the message board crowd.
"It is interesting how everyone down plays the fact that Germany is a socialist state. "
Compared to Europe, I found some of the poverty I saw in the US quite shocking. Will we see Europeans via austerity becoming more US like, or will we see the US raising its social game? I sometimes wonder why black america does not do more for Africa for example. Perhaps part of the problem is there are just to many people in the world and they are not all really needed. Here in Europe the financial system is heavily geared to encourage people to have children, yet there are few jobs for them. Technology will further lessen the demand for labour. The future does not look bright and the politicians struggle in achiving basic compromise when radical change is probably needed.
The top 1% pays ~38% and the top 10% pays ~%70 of the individual income tax bill for the eintire country. The bottom 50% pays ~2%. I think that is evenly distributed. Dont forget that even though the rich have more money each year, the government prints out more money each year. We dont have a fixed money supply.
We have millionairs made and lost each day. Billionairs are made but less often. Mark Zukerber of Facebook, Larry Paige of Google are just 2 quick examples of people making large wealth in a realatively short time. If they can do it, so can you. So whats in your way?
Is that a Joke? Conservatives create Masters and Slaves?
The socialists have made population enslavement legal in every country they control.
In the US, the individual owns themselves and their produce, except for the increasing part claimed by the socialist O'Bummer.
The wealthy cannot employ or enjoy their wealth on a lonely desert island. It must be invested and spent to have any value to the individual owning it.
Once in circulation it can be used to buy a set of gold Grillzzs, whiskey for Saturday, or a larger farm with more cattle. Continual poor spending choices, encouraged by socialist government dictates, develop into poor outcomes.
