White Peach Tart
A perfect summer dessert should be easy to put together and it should definitely utilize and enhance the delicious fruit available this time of year. There are quite a few types of desserts that fit these requirements: crumbles, cobblers, and grunts for example, but sometimes I feel fancy and I want to make a tart. Something about lining a pan with fruit arranged in concentric circles just makes me feel elegant. What? Just me?
Tarts can be really easy you guys, especially when you can just pat the crust into a pan (no rolling! and for the love of unicorns, no blind baking!) Then, all you have to do is slice up some of summer's sweetest, blushing white peaches (no peeling!), toss them gently with a bit of ginger and lime for a punch of flavor, tuck them into your previously patted crust, and wait patiently.
After a few minutes in a hot oven the peaches soften and release their juices, the corny crust crisps and browns, and it's done. A perfect summer pair, all baked up in a fancy dessert that was a cinch to put together.
Not that this even needs to be said, but the leftovers (if there are any) make a delicious breakfast.
White Peach Tart with Ginger and Lime in a Cornmeal Crust
yield, 1 10'' or 11'' tart
For the Crust
This makes a nice, thick crust (about 1/4'') which is my preference. If you prefer your crusts on the thin side, you may want to set aside a bit of the dough for another use before patting it into the pan.
4 ounces corn flour (or very fine cornmeal)
4 ounces all purpose flour
1.75 ounces sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon lime zest
3 tablespoons olive oil
3 ounces butter, melted and cooled
1 egg yolk
1. In a medium bowl, stir the flours, sugar, salt and lime zest. Make a well in the center of the mixture and add in the olive oil, butter and egg yolk. Stir gently to combine.
2. Turn the dough out into a 10'' or 11'' removable bottom tart pan and pat it evenly on the bottom and up the sides. Refrigerate the shell while you prepare the filling.
For the Filling
4 medium white peaches
1'' piece of ginger, peeled and grated
1/2 teaspoon lime zest
juice of 1/2 a lime
1.75 ounces turbinado sugar (or white sugar)
3/4 ounce all purpose flour
1 ounce cold butter (cut into small cubes)
Preheat oven to 425º
1. Cut the peaches into wedges about 1/2'' thick (I cut my peaches into eighths).
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the grated ginger, lime zest and juice, turbinado sugar and flour. Add the sliced peaches and toss gently to coat them in the mixture.
3. Arrange the peaches in tight concentric circles on top of the prepared shell, pour any juices left in the bowl on top, and dot the tart with the cold butter cubes.
4. Slide the tart into the oven and bake until the peaches are soft and have released their juices and the crust is golden, about 30-40 minutes. Serve warm or room temperature with whipped cream, creme fraiche or a scoop of ice cream.

EAGLE COUNTY, Colorado - Bidding remains open for a U.S. Forest Service parcel in Minturn.
That parcel, known as the "Boneyard," has long been eyed as park and open space land for Minturn. Last year, the town got a commitment from the Eagle County commissioners to put up 90 percent of the sale price of the property using county open space funds.
The parcel in December was put up for auction by the U.S. General Services Administration, and the county submitted a bid of $1.25 million.
A second, unknown, bidder appeared Jan. 10. Since then, the price has gone up to $1.68 million, with the county currently holding the high bid.
While the auction officially closed Jan. 15, government auctions remain open until there's been no bidding activity for 24 hours.
The most recent bids were submitted Wednesday.

Seattle's efficiency at peak during late run
By TIM BOOTH
AP Sports Writer
RENTON, Wash. (AP) - Buried within the dizzying numbers the Seattle Seahawks have posted the last three weeks that grabbed the attention of the entire NFL, is a steady rise in efficiency that's at the base of not only their scoring eruption, but the Seahawks' late-season charge to win six of seven.
It may sound as if what coaches and players say all the time, but Seattle's has been dramatically better on third-down conversions and in the red zone as the season has progressed.
Why have the Seahawks become the second-most efficient team at scoring inside the 20 in the NFL and coming off the third-best performance on third down of any team in the last 20 years? Because Seattle has made it a non-stop point of emphasis.
"We've progressed because we've made the choice we want to get better," Seattle wide receiver Golden Tate said. "... We've just been real serious about it and working hard at it."
The Seahawks (10-5) have scored 150 points the last three weeks, the first team to accomplish that feat since 1950. The dynamic play of rookie quarterback Russell Wilson and the raw numbers Seattle posted has quickly given the Seahawks the tag of the team no one in the NFC wants to face early in the playoffs. Seattle is already bound for the postseason no matter what happens in Sunday's regular-season finale against St. Louis. They will likely end up the No. 5 seed in the NFC, but could finish as high as second or third with help from others.
But some of the underlying reasons why Seattle is suddenly an offensive powerhouse are because of its third-down efficiency and continuing to convert when they do put drives together.
In five of their last six games, the Seahawks third-down conversion rate has exceeded the league average of 38 percent. Seattle went a stunning 11 of 13 on third downs against San Francisco. The only two failed conversions against the 49ers came when Wilson scrambled around the San Francisco defense for 18 seconds before coming up short on a third-down run and when backup quarterback Matt Flynn took a knee on the final play of the game.
The 11 of 13 was the best conversion percentage – 84.6 – in the NFL this season and the third-best in the regular season over the last 20 years, according to STATS, Inc. The only times that number was bettered was New Orleans against Detroit in 2008 (11 of 12) and St. Louis versus Denver in 2000 (6 of 7).
In its first nine games, Seattle topped the league average of 38 percent on third downs only once.
"It's just the familiarity and Russell Wilson has worked so hard to capture the essence of the plays and the concepts, as well as he has worked with these guys over a long period of time," Seattle coach Pete Carroll said. "He doesn't waste reps. He gains knowledge and feel and confidence as he works through it, and that's why he's such a fast learner and all. He moves through things and he gets better. It's not just him because the receivers had cleaned things up; we've also used guys in their roles more clearly than we did early so the reps have paid off more so as well."
Throughout the season, the Seahawks' red-zone efficiency has been among the best in the league. They've scored on 48 of 51 drives inside the opponents' 20 with their scoring efficiency rate of 94.1 percent No. 2 in the NFL behind only Houston. They are one of two teams in the league that have yet to commit a red-zone turnover.
Seattle is perfect in the red zone – 24 of 24 – in the past six games with 17 of those finished by touchdowns. The last time they failed to score on a drive inside the opponents' 20 was in Week 9 against Minnesota when the Seahawks took a knee and ran out the clock at the Vikings 9.
"The growth can't be understated as a team as a whole," Seattle wide receiver Doug Baldwin said. "Just the fact we've all come together, the chemistry, the trust, I can't state it enough."
Notes: Seattle CB Walter Thurmond (hamstring) will miss his third straight game Sunday and Carroll said he might not be back for the playoffs next week. LB Leroy Hill (hamstring) is questionable and will be worked out pregame Sunday. All other players on Seahawks injury report are expected to play. .. Seattle cut CB Ron Parker and DT Hebron Fangupo, and re-signed WR Deon Butler and signed LB Allen Bradford from the practice squad Friday.

text: ANTON J. PREGALDIN Attorney at law 7500 York Drive Clayton, Missouri 63105 PA 7.1916 May 6, 1977 Dear Mrs Core, I'm sorry I didn't realize that it would be a problem for you to get Father Maxwell's letter figured out. I forget that that can be a problem. What he said was this: "St Genevieve, 31 May 1797 Sir and Colleagues, I have received your letter of the 25th instant in which you ask my opinion on some cases which are going on in your parish. Regarding the first item, you haven't done enough, as Mr. Marche a Terre ("walk on the ground") and that widow have given public scandal. They should be publicly punished and with severity. I am sure that the Commandant will lend a hand to correct such abuses. For the second item, I authorize you to marry Francois Michel to Catherine Bonneau without publication of banns, provided that you are sure that no other impediment exists between them except the lack of the brother's consent; in the four past years of marriage of which you tell me. There only existed a mutual consent between them, but you will add a sacrament to it if they are Catholics. As for the third item, you should address yourself to the Commandant to have that woman driven out of Joseph Michel's house, and if that isn't done, you should let me know. I am, with respect, Sir, your very humble and very obedient servant, Maxwell, Pastor of St Genevieve." I am interested in all of the early French families, and therefore appreciate very much the information you have been sending me.

Get brilliant shine and an instant boost of moisture that leaves lips feeling nourished.
NOTE: In electronic media, true colors may vary.
All prices are suggested retail.
"The skin on your lips is a fraction of the thickness of facial skin, which is why the lips lose moisture three times faster than the skin on your cheeks. Plus, lips contain very few, if any, sebaceous (oil) glands and no sweat glands,so they do not produce the natural emollients like facial skin does. As a result, lips easily become dry and chapped if not properly cared for. Humectants and a healthy skin barrier can help keep lips hydrated and looking beautiful. Mary Kay® NouriShine Plus® Lip Gloss is infused with ingredients that help support the moisture needs of lips to help keep them hydrated and feeling soft."
Nine out of 10 women agree Mary Kay® NouriShine Plus® Lip Gloss delivers an instant boost of moisture!* That's what they said in a one-week, in-depth consumer study.* Here's what else they had to say about this replenishing, feather-proof lip gloss:

Thank you for your planning and hard work with the Regatta.
I've added a topic under the DeepSouth forum regarding our thanks but I wanted to make sure all who were envolved were told thank you from Charlie, Warren and myself.

From swanky lounges to boozy bars, we round up more than 40 of the city's best places to imbibe. Plus, the nondrinker's journal, bartenders' tips, and debunking the alcohol-altitude myth.
Click here to view our map of the best Denver-area bars
Bars are often confused with restaurants. It's a common mistake that can be avoided by understanding the main difference: Restaurants are destinations; bars are not. The best restaurants, through their food and fame, will draw people from across the city, the state—or sometimes the country—to enjoy their crispy Colorado striped bass filet or slow-braised Highland beef with roasted corn risotto. Bars are local joints. Regardless of whether they're swanky cocktail lounges or dingy hole-in-the-walls, they attract people that live, work, or play nearby to come in for a beer or three. Bars, like parks or libraries, belong to and reflect the surrounding blocks in the best ways. The crowds, the decor, and the staff are familiar, inviting, and inherently of a neighborhood. The best bars are like second homes—with draft beer.
With that in mind, we scoured Denver, Boulder, and the suburbs for neighborhood drinking institutions. (For our methodology, see page 71). Chances are, there's one a stone's throw from your house. Go there. Drink. Watch the game. Meet your neighbors. Be merry. And have another
Wazee Supper Club
1600 15th St., 303-623-9518
You're drinking: Myriad microbrews—and Pabst Blue Ribbon—on draft
You're listening to: The Kinks, AC/DC, Eagles
There are fancy local beers on tap at Wazee. Lots of them, actually, with names like Flying Dog Gonzo Imperial Porter and Wynkoop's B3K Schwarz. Good to know, then, that the most popular beer at the LoDo institution is Pabst Blue Ribbon. And why not? If bars were like sweaters, Wazee would be your warm, fuzzy, stretched-at-the-neck-and-waist standby—a little worn but mostly because you pull the thing on, like, every day. Founded in 1974 and until recently owned by Mayor Hickenlooper, Wazee, with its checkerboard floor and vintage mahogany art deco back bar, serves up a quintessential Denver vibe: big drinkers and businessmen looking for some liquid solace after a long day. Pregame Nuggets and Avs fans are welcome, but so are families looking for a friendly neighborhood joint and a solid pizza. Big groups can reserve the upper loft and have their food and drinks delivered to them via a dumbwaiter made with a 1937 garage-door opener. If you're solo, nab a seat at the bar and people-watch while you sip, or slug, your PBR.—Geoff Van Dyke
The Corner Office
1401 Curtis St., 303-825-6500
You're drinking: A Dirty Shirley (3 Olives Cherry Vodka and lime juice)
You're listening to: Peppy urban jazz
Until last summer, Theater District denizens had no place to get a drink before a show or after 10 hours at work. The Corner Office, resplendent in its retro-mod, funky-yet-sophisticated decor, fills this niche nicely, whether you're hitting it in that workaholic, I'm-going-to-bill-100-hours-this-week kinda way, or just passing time before the curtain rises across the street.—Julie Dugdale
Cruise Room Bar
1600 17th St., 303-628-5400
You're drinking: A shaken martini
You're listening to: Vintage Benny Goodman
The Cruise Room has loads of history—it opened the day after Prohibition ended, was modeled after a bar on the 1930s cruise ship Queen Mary, and feels a bit like a speakeasy—but it's the martinis that keep bringing people back. Ten dollars buys you a shaker with 2.5 glasses worth of perfectly mixed vodka, vermouth, and olive juice. —Natasha Gardner
9th Door
1808 Blake St., 303-292-2229
You're drinking: Sangria
You're listening to: Live flamenco guitar
Maybe it's the lusty red decor, the strong but sweet sangria, the community table made from 275-year-old Spanish doors, or (on most weeknights) the live, sultry flamenco guitar, but the 9th Door feels like it belongs in Barcelona, not LoDo. —Amanda Faison
El Chapultepec
1962 Market St., 303-295-9126
You're drinking: Tequila shots and a Budweiser longneck
You're listening to: Denver's best jazz
Having served up the same high-quality live jazz seven nights a week for more than 50 years, the Pec was downtown's coolest joint long before LoDo was hip and Todd Helton started smashing fastballs at high altitude. The experience is intimate: No matter where you're sitting or standing, you're practically on the stage. There's no cover, and while the bartender will let you nurse a drink without complaint, this little-dive-that-could deserves a little of your hard-earned cash, so order a couple Buds and a round of shots. The bathrooms look like they haven't been touched since the bar opened, and the burritos are only for the gastronomically adventurous, but trust us, this only adds to the charm. —NG
Falling Rock Tap House
1919 Blake St., 303-293-8338
You're drinking: Green Flash IPA or Chimay You're listening to: Buddy Guy, Louis Armstrong
Coors and Bud be damned: It's "no crap on tap" in this uncompromising LoDo bar, where artisanal beers are the only frills. The walls are raw brick, the floors bare wood, the booths uncushioned, the service sketchy. For art, there are the 75 tap handles behind the bar. A smudged chalk menu lists yesterday's selection of rare imports and limited-production domestics; for current choices, quiz the bartender, who—if he deems you worthy—will decipher the rare, one-off kegs just tapped. On the wall, a digital countdown ticks off the days till the next Great American Beer Festival, when the Falling Rock hosts the after-party for the beer world's Academy Awards. Think you know Black Butte Porter from Cutthroat Porter? Come back when the digits read straight zeroes to sample the special stuff owner Chris Black stashed away for GABF brewers and beer savants.—Kelly Bastone
British Bulldog
2052 Stout St., 303-295-7974
You're drinking: Fuller's London Pride, on draft
You're listening to: The Killers, The Hives, Rage Against the Machine
Though it's only two years old, the British Bulldog oozes history—partly because it feels a bit like an old pub you might happen upon while wandering around London, and partly because the Bulldog's building has been home to one bar or another for more than 100 years. The worn tile floors, high, pressed-tin ceiling, and private booths painted with faded landscapes make for a cozy, welcome respite from the bleak stretch of Stout Street outside. Also welcome: two two-for-one happy hours, between 3 p.m. and 7 p.m., and 10 p.m. and midnight, every day; soccer on the teley round the clock; and some killer Pakistani eats. If that weren't enough, the Bulldog opens at 7 on weekend mornings during the English Premiere League soccer season, and serves a true breakfast of champions: eggs, bacon, bangers, fried tomatoes, baked beans, and blood pudding—and, of course, two Imperial pints of your favorite English suds.—GVD
The Walnut Room
3131 Walnut St., 303-292-1700
You're drinking: Blue Moon on tap
You're listening to: Denver's indie band-of-the-moment
In the middle of the no-frills Ballpark neighborhood (across from a junk yard, no less), the two-year-old Walnut Room is fast becoming one of Denver's hippest small music venues. Grab a stool at the wooden bar for a draft beer and pizza before ducking into the back-room performance space for the tunes. The clientele is as varied as the music—biker, yuppie, emo, whatever—so go as you are, but be prepared to rock. —Cheryl Meyers
Nobody's Drunker in Denver
Debunking the alcohol at altitude myth.
In Colorado, as the story goes, booze gets you drunker. Has to do with the high altitude, people-in-the-wise claim to scare tourists and transplants from that fifth Coors Light. Even the Denver Metro Convention and Visitors Bureau advises tourists to "go easy on the alcohol in the mountains and in Denver, as its effects will feel stronger here."
However enjoyable it might be to believe this, it's a high-altitude myth.
The misperception started in 1936, when two Columbia University psychologists got drunk in the Andes. Using some old-school breathalyzers, they found that their blood-alcohol levels were higher at 12,200 feet and 17,500 feet than at sea level. A couple studies later, McFarland was ready to declare that, "The alcohol in two or three cocktails would have the physiological action of four or five drinks at altitudes of approximately 10,000 to 12,000 feet." More than 50 years later Denverites boast that two beers at altitude is equal to four at sea level.
However, researchers in the 1980s—primarily at the Federal Aviation Administration's Civil Aeromedical Institute—dispelled those findings. Using more sophisticated equipment and improved methods (placebo alcohol!), they found no altitude effect on blood-alcohol level and that impaired test subjects did no worse on cognitive tests. Reached by phone, Dr. William Collins—the FAA psychologist—reiterated his findings. "The [physiological] studies are absolutely clear that there is no effect of altitude when you're comparing ground level to 12,000 feet," he says. "The breathalyzer readings are not different; the blood-alcohol levels are not different."
Touché, Dr. Collins. Denver, you heard the doc: Drink up if you'd like, but stop lying about your studly tolerance.—PD
North Star
3200 Tejon St., 303-919-7942
You're drinking: Pic's Pale Ale or the local microbrew of the week
You're listening to: The game, classic rock
Convenience lures East Highlanders to North Star; the tater tots compel them to stay. Co-proprietor Kyle Carstens had the good sense to put the golden-fried nuggets on his menu alongside such pub staples as sliders and a falls-apart-in-your-hands pulled pork sandwich with slaw on top that could turn the most righteous vegetarian into a born-again caveman. Yes, it's a brewery—they make three or four of their own, the best being the Pic's Pale, a bitter, hoppy elixir that'll make your cheeks flutter like an excitable stallion. But the beer list reaches way beyond North Star's walls, with brews like Gordon Biersch Hefeweizen, and picks-of-the-week from Wynkoop, Railyard, and Boulder breweries. North Star's no dive and no yuppie joint; it's neither clean nor dirty, light nor dark. It's simply, refreshingly normal and reliable, like a tater tot fried to perfection.—Mike Kessler
My Brother's Bar
2376 15th St., 303-455-9991
You're drinking: Fuller's London Pride, on draft
You're listening to: Classical music
If there were a prototype for drinking-establishment excellence, it would be My Brother's Bar. It has history: When Jim and Angelo Karagas bought the joint in 1970, the building had already been a bar for nearly 80 years. It's generally dark, there are no distracting televisions, soothing classical music is always playing, and the bar and tables are worn in and lacquered to hell. The slim, delicious hamburgers are some of the best in the city, and a bag of popcorn will only set you back 50 cents. There's a well-edited beer list with hard-to-find Fuller's London Pride and Golden City Red Ale, not to mention a huge selection of bourbon, Scotch, and rye. It has good service: The bartenders are smart, funny, and always on their game. Seating options abound: a front room with an 11-stool bar and a few weathered tables, a back room for dining, and a homey beer garden that's the best spot for outdoor drinking in the city. The only possible conclusion: My Brother's is the best bar in Denver. —Patrick Doyle
The Grizzly Rose
5450 N. Valley Highway, 303-295-2353
You're drinking: Whatever cheap beer the bartender hands you
You're listening to: Live honky-tonk acts, both big and small
From I-25, the Rose looks like a well-used strip club, but inside the bar is home to one of the best honky-tonk dance floors in the country. The belt buckles are huge, the Wranglers are pressed, and the live acts are some of the biggest (think: Garth Brooks, Faith Hill, and Willie Nelson) to come through town. Beer lines stretch 20 cowboys deep on the weekends, so make the bartender fish an extra bottle out of the tub when you finally shuffle to the front. And, if you tire of line-dancing, be sure to watch skinny-jeaned hipsters falling off the mechanical bull.—NG
Mead St. Station
3625 W. 32nd Ave., 303-433-2138
You're drinking: Harp Lager or a glass of red wine
You're listening to: Earnest-as-hell live local bands
Despite its location in the heart of the increasingly upscale Highland hood, Mead St. Station feels like some forgotten pocket from the area's not-too-distant past, when Italian grandmas watered flawless lawns and people sat on stoops instead of power-walking their Weimeraners. Long-time regulars blend in with families, blind dates, and post-lawn-mowing beer drinkers, all here for tap beers, pub fare, and music. Chances are, you'll hear "Horse With No Name" on a slower night, between the more polished R&B and acoustic bands. And you'll like it. —Cara McDonald
On the House
Drinking advice from an old pro
Dwight Long has been pouring drinks at My Brother's Bar for eight years. In 2007, 5280 named him the best bartender in Denver, an honor he says earned him "a lot more crap from my fellow bartenders." A while back, Dwight poured us a nice, smoky scotch and talked about American bourbons, where he likes to drink, and how to kick a hangover.
What do we need to be drinking these days? I like to recommend that people drink more whiskey. I'm really into American whiskeys lately. Many people forget what a great distilling history we have.
Speaking of whiskey, what do you do to get rid of a hangover? Oh man, Monday I had a really bad hangover. I hadn't really drank for a year.
What? Well, I just had a baby. She's five weeks old. Her name is Jameson.
So what did you do about that hangover? I think the best cure sometimes is just to get up and get moving. That and the chili cheese fries from Chubby's. Those things could cure cancer. And then you'll forget you had a hangover because your stomach will hurt so bad.
Aside from My Brother's Bar, where do you like to knock 'em back? The Skylark Lounge. They have about 20 beers on tap, and 90 percent of them are relatively good.
Any advice for the other bartenders out there? My mantra is to never piss off the waitresses.
—Interview by Jennie Dorris
Our Methodology
When faced with compiling a definitive bars guide, we asked ourselves a simple question: Where do we regularly drink? Which bars do we return to time and time again, on good days, on bad days, and days in between, to get a beer and have some company? This list is the answer—these are our drinking places. So please, come in, pull up a stool, and have a beer. Next round's on you.
Bull and Bush Brewery
4700 Cherry Creek South Drive, 303-759-0333
You're drinking: Man Beer and whiskey
You're listening to: Widespread Panic, Bruce Springsteen
When the heavy, Tudor-style pub door whoomps closed behind you, Glendale's piercing sunshine is shut out and your eyes dim to the level of the frosted lanterns and giant TVs faintly illuminating the worn carpet and rustic wooden beams. Tip back a hearty, house-brewed beer, or, if you're a whiskey drinker, one of the 200-plus bourbons and single-malts served. Go ahead and order a side of cholesterol—the prime rib or maybe the fish 'n' chips—and unbuckle the belt a notch. Too dark in here for anyone to notice—or care.—KB
The Cherry Cricket
2641 E. Second Ave., 303-322-7666
You're drinking: Stone IPA, by the pitcher
You're listening to: Classic rock
A laid-back, great-beer oasis (Stone IPA, 90 Shilling, and Smithwicks on draft) in the vast cocktail wasteland of Cherry Creek North.
The Village Cork
1300 S. Pearl St., 303-282-8399
You're drinking: A glass of Italian wine
Overheard: "This place is the closest thing you'll find to Paris in Colorado."
The cork-laden bar top is your first indicator of how much vino flows from bottle to glass at this intimate South Pearl Street wine bar. The wooden furniture, exposed-brick walls, mismatched china, and a couple of dozen choices on the black chalkboard menu give the bar a casual, flirty ambience that—after a few glasses of the good stuff—feels very sexy.—Lindsey Koehler
Skylark Lounge
140 S. Broadway, 303-722-7844
You're drinking: A martini
You're listening to: '50s rock 'n' roll
Sometimes a girl needs to escape the emo pants and sleeve tattoos of South Broadway, and one way to do that is to duck into the dark, unpretentious Skylark and saddle up to its large horseshoe bar. With stimuli at a minimum—no TVs hanging, no trivia, no kitschy bar games—you can actually talk with the horned-rimmed-glasses-wearing bartenders. Just don't expect it to be a one-on-one conversation; the whole bar, even those three drunk hippies, is going to want to play free-association theater games or critique your choice of vodka.—Jennie Dorris
Great Northern Tavern
8101 E. Belleview Ave., Suite E, 303-770-4741
You're drinking: Odell's Cutthroat Porter
You're listening to: You're way too sophisticated for a jukebox, right?
More for the casual drinker, this highbrow bar and restaurant in the heart of the DTC is perfect for the after-work crowd or those looking for a low-key date. Note: The sweater-vest appears to be required attire. The wood-paneled ceiling and dim lights add to the classy, upscale vibe. There are 16 beers on tap, and none are named Budweiser, Coors or Miller. —Robert Sanchez
Pearl Street Grill
1477 S. Pearl St., 303-778-6475
You're drinking: Denver Pale Ale and a shot of Jack
You're listening to: Classic rock
At its heart, the Pearl Street Grill is a locals' joint, where Platt Park neighbors come to fill the spaces in life: after the nine-hour shift at the office, before heading to a show downtown, for a nightcap after a Rockies game, or whenever they need more contact with society than The Biggest Loser. Avoid it at dusk, when well-coiffed men and women waiting for their tables at Sushi Den order drinks with more than two ingredients and talk too loudly. Late night is best, between 11 and midnight, when you can sit at the bar between a grandfather nursing a Drambuie and a butterscotch sundae and a Sushi Den server trying to forget his well-coiffed clientele with equal amounts of tequila and PBR. They may have little in common, but they know where to go for a pick-me-up—or a knock-you-down. —PD
Squealing Pig
2700 E. Third Ave., 303-388-4440
You're drinking: Tullamore Dew whiskey, neat
You're listening to: The Pogues; Irish classics
The owners of the Squealing Pig have turned one of the least-likely places—a basement spot below two hair salons in Cherry Creek North—into one of the best Irish pubs in Denver. It has the compact, homey, organic feel of a bar you'd find in a small Gaelic town—a hodgepodge of old tables, mismatched chairs, booth seats covered with old fabric from the curtains, and most important of all: whiskey, and lots of it.—PD
Cheeky Monk Belgian Beer Café
534 E. Colfax Ave., 303-861-0347
You're drinking: An imported beer whose name you can't pronounce
You're listening to: Early '90s rock
The new-bar smell at the Cheeky Monk hasn't worn off yet—the walls are bare, the bar unscratched, and the windows, which face Colfax, haven't been mussed up. After a few beers, though, you won't care, and you'll have a hard time telling who has more trouble walking—the Fax denizens outside or the Monk drinkers inside, tossing back Belgian ales with 9-plus alcohol content. —NG
Pints Pub
221 W. 13th Ave., 303-534-7543
You're drinking: Alchemy ESB cask ale and two fingers of Scotch
You're listening to: Traditional British music
We love Scotch. Scotchy, Scotch, Scotch. At Pint's Pub, there are more than 260 types to try, as well as hand-pumped cask ale—a Denver rarity.
Govnr's Park Restaurant & Tavern
672 Logan St., 303-831-8605
You're drinking: A Bloody Mary
You're listening to: The game
Need a mid-Sunday place to decompress after Saturday night's bender? Gov's is as familiar and worn as your favorite Broncos jersey; where the only things that exist in the universe are you, your team, and your $2 pint. Every corner glows with NFL Sunday action—even the outside patio. If you're not wearing sports paraphernalia or jeans and a fleece, you're overdressed. Personally, I roll up in PJs, order up some nachos and a big ol' Bloody to nurse the hangover, and stake out a table with a view of the big-screens.—J. Dugdale
Don's Club Tavern
723 E. Sixth Ave.
You're drinking: A whiskey sour
You're listening to: Rock ranging from Death Cab for Cutie to AC/DC
Don's Club Tavern—better known as Don's Mixed Drinks—has cheap drinks, gruff bartenders, dim lightning, and a bar coated with a sticky film. Go here.
Alcoholic Anonymous
The Nondrinker's POV
9 p.m. The bartender finally emerges from the bowels of the tavern holding a dust-caked six-pack of O'Doul's. I'd bet a week's pay on what he'll say next.
"It's warm."
Oh well, at least they have it.
I quit drinking about 12 years ago but never stopped going to bars. I'm no weenie teetotalist, and bars are where everyone is: friends, bands, women. I just like the atmosphere—to a point.
10 p.m. The O'Doul's has chilled to lukewarm. Close enough.
After flunking a magazine test about my inebriation habits at 29, I knew it was time. I rarely stumbled home, blacked out, or got into foolish brawls; to paraphrase writer Pete Hamill, I simply wasn't very good at it. So when I saw my red-flag score, like a longtime fugitive weary of running, I turned myself in.
Quitting was surprisingly easy. I went to a month of AA meetings, but haven't been back since I got my 30-day chip. I once craved a drink, following my grandfather's funeral several months after my last cocktail (which, for the record, was champagne sipped from my girlfriend's navel). My cousin handed me an N/A, and the moment it hit my tongue the craving washed away in a startling rush.
11 p.m. The best time. People laugh, flirt—connect—the inhibitions beating a charming retreat. The revelers teeter toward incapacitation, predictably oblivious to my unaltered sobriety.
AA devotees might compare me to a junkie kicking it in a crack house, but it's simply never been an issue. Bars unite and entertain—usually, for the sober, until about midnight, when my jackass friend tells the same story for the third time in about 30 minutes.
Think I'll call it a night. —Luc Hatlestad
The Thin Man
2015 E. 17th Ave., 303-320-7814
You're drinking: Infused vodka on the rocks
You're listening to: Hipsters talking about bands, booze, and boys
Count yourself lucky if you score a bar stool at the nearly always packed Thin Man. The space is narrow, with room only for the long, marble-topped bar, a few wooden tables, and a couch in the back. But it's the perfectly infused vodkas, the draft microbrews, and, during the summer, a rolled-up garage door that keep the revelers boozing for hours.—LK
1223 E. 13th Ave., 303-832-3108
You're drinking: Anchor Steam, on draft, and a shot of Jameon
You're listening to: A little metal, a little country, a little indie, and semi-obscure classic rock
Swimming in kitsch, mostly from cinema's golden age, and sprinkled with the occasional fern or paper Asian fan, Gabor's is cozy, cool, and surprisingly clean, for a dive. Tats abound but aren't required, and classic movies run in constant silence above the jukebox. Lounge in the red leather booths, Rat Pack cool, as Hollywood icons like Marilyn, Clint—and, for some reason, Louie Anderson—watch over the proceedings. And, if the bartender gives you the nod, feel free to light up—Gabor's is one of the few "smoke-easies" in the city.—Luc Hatlestad
The Tavern Uptown
538 E. 17th Ave., 303-830-9210
You're drinking: Widmer Hefeweizen
On the jukebox: Rock
Uptown has the coziest fireplace lounge in town, best after a hellish day at work. It's like sinking into your favorite honey-we're-selling-this-over-my-dead-body leather couch at home. But way better, because there's no getting up for refills and snacks.
PS Lounge
3416 E. Colfax Ave., 303-320-1200
You're drinking: A Budweiser longneck and an Alabama Slammer
You're listening to: Tom Waits, Johnny Cash
The PS Lounge looks like my grandfather's den: Dark, worn leather booths and a small, 15-stool bar sit under '70s-era wood-paneled walls covered with NFL and Budweiser paraphernalia. Women receive roses from the bartender. No draft beer is served, just bottles, which are mostly domestic and mostly cheap. An old jukebox heavy on Johnny Cash sits guard at the door, and a small back room has a pool table. There is no lock on the bathroom door. Nothing fancy, but lived-in and homey, just like grandpa's.—PD
William's Tavern
423 E. 17th Ave, 303-861-9813
You're drinking: Busch Light, on draft
You're listening to: The White Stripes and Lynyrd Skynyrd
Meet William: William isn't fancy; he only owns one pool table. William isn't rich; PBR in a can is $1.50 during happy hour. But William is friendly (his free Sunday hangover brunch is legendary), and his tavern is one of the best damned blue-collar dive bars in the city. —Brian Melton
Goosetown Tavern
3242 E. Colfax Ave., 303-399-9703
You're drinking: Denver Pale Ale and Jack Daniel's
You're listening to: R.E.M.
The Goosetown Tavern is the perfect place to watch the happenings on Colfax. Grab a table by the window, order your favorite microbrew and a pizza, and sit back for some quality people-watching. —KL
Rocky Flats Lounge
11229 Highway 93, 303-499-4242
You're drinking: Leinie's on tap
You're listening to: AC/DC, Reba McIntyre
Like the hard-luck workers who used to mold plutonium triggers just down the road, the Rocky Flats Lounge hides a sweet heart under a forlorn and weathered shell. Decades after it stopped cutting checks, the nuke plant's old payroll office continues to attract Flats employees, this time with pints. Since the plant closed and the happy-hour crowd drifted away, the corner-bar feel lives largest on Friday's Wisconsin-style fish-fry nights, and on Sundays, when Packers fans gather for the weekly Lambeau Field high mass, which, in keeping with the Lounge's—ahem—unrefined decor (wood paneling, vinyl tablecloths), they view not on the latest HD plasma widescreen, but on a few old TVs scattered around the joint. For all its seeming seedy-roadhouse mystique, the Lounge is your friendly neighborhood dive bar, only without any neighbors.—Joe Lindsey
Lightning in a Wagon
The first bar in Denver.
On Christmas Eve, 1858, trader and mountaineer Richens Lacy Wootton pulled eight goods-laden wagons into the burgeoning settlement at the confluence of Cherry Creek and the South Platte and unloaded two barrels of Taos Lightning—a wheat-based liquor laced with gunpowder, tobacco, and pepper, among other things. He began passing out shots of the whiskeylike concoction, better known as "bust-head," "tangle-foot," or "rot-gut."*
He made a lot of friends that night, earning the nickname "Uncle Dick" along with an invitation to set up shop on Ferry Street (now 11th Street). Within months, he opened Wootton's Western Hall, the first bar in Denver. Compared to the tent city along the riverbank, "Uncle Dick's" place, with its hewn-log structure, shingles, and glass windows, was an impressive structure. Equal parts town hall, general store, saloon, hotel, and bowling alley, it was one of young Denver's first gathering places. In 1859, the fledgling Colorado Territorial Legislature met at the bar to draft a constitution and make plans for separating from the Kansas Territory.
By 1860, a dozen bars flanked the street with offerings of prostitutes, whiskey, cards, and dancing. Impatient travelers, many of them miners waiting to cross the South Platte on Thomas Warren's ferry, backed up along the thoroughfare, finding welcome distractions at its many saloons. By 1862, unable to compete, Uncle Dick headed back to the mountains. Rumors swirled that his Confederate sympathies forced him out, but he claimed the town was getting too crowded—and that he "might have been expected to wear fine clothes." —NG
*For a Taos Lightning replica, try the $5 "Trade Whiskey" at the Fort restaurant. Complete with rotgut!

2430 S. Havana St., Aurora, 303-696-7686
You're drinking: Coors Light on draft from a plastic cup
You're listening to: Alan Jackson, Travis Tritt, Deana Carter
Now this is cowboy authenticity. While the Grizzly Rose gets most of the glory, the Stampede has quietly grown into one of the best nightspots in town. Hesitant city folk can survey the situation from the second-story ledge: whirling cowboys and cowgirls, mechanical bull riders, huge jumbo screens playing country music videos, and over 35,000 square feet of boot-scootin' action. —BM
Golden City
920 12th St., Golden, 303-279-8092
You're drinking: Legendary Red Ale
You're listening to: Laughing kids, barking dogs
As a college student, I used to think it was cool to sneak in the back entrance of the Coors brewery with my friends and get our three free beers at the tasting room. Then I discovered tiny Golden City, which looks like just another house in an older neighborhood until you discover it's a house with great, strong beer on tap, a brewery in its garage, and a bar area in its backyard, loaded with neighbors playing board games and cards. I never went back to Colorado Kool-Aid again. —J. Dorris
The D Note
7519 Grandview Ave., Arvada, 303-463-6683
You're drinking: New Belgium 2 Below
You're listening to: Live blues
Part of the urban renewal that transformed Olde Town Arvada (yes, with the E) from blighted shell to vibrant, borderline-hip downtown area, the D Note is proof that even suburbs can be cool. Sundays might be the best night: beginner-friendly salsa lessons followed by a smokin' Latin jam by bands like Conjunto Colores. New Urbanism gets dinged for its irritably shiny United Colors of Benetton approach, but the D Note's wide-open vibe scores: Everyone's welcome, whether you want to nurse a cold one in the back or jump on stage to sing a blues standard with the local trio. Just make sure you can hold a tune.—JL
The Little Bear
27895 Highway 74, Evergreen, 303-674-9991
You're drinking: Coors Original, on draft
You're listening to: Live country, blues, and rock
This decades-old establishment feels like a Colorado bar should: warm, well worn, and a bit rough around the edges. Onion rings and burgers are served from a window and cold beers from the bar; every square inch of the wooden walls and booths is covered in name carvings, which isn't that surprising since everyone at the Bear looks like he carries a knife—pocket or otherwise.—LK
Auld Dubliner Irish Pub
2796 S. Broadway, Englewood, 303-781-0864
You're drinking: A Black and Tan
You're listening to: Alternating Rolling Stones and Irish folk tunes
This stand-alone pub is small—you'll brush elbows with strangers in a cozy, toast-your-neighbor kind of way—and the interior is dim and antiquey, but that's exactly what makes it a welcoming watering hole should you find yourself south of the city on a blustery winter night.—J. Dugdale
Warhorse Inn
19420 E. Mainstreet, Parker, 303-841-4018
You're drinking: A Parker Paralyzer (dark rum, vodka, gin, Coke, and sweet and sour)
You're listening to: Blues, lots of blues
This former feed store has soul: worn wooden floors, brick, and darkened leather, and a painted horse above the doorway. More impressively, it's survived more than two decades on Parker's Mainstreet.
Baker Street Pub
7260 W. Alaska Drive, Lakewood, 303-953-5510
You're drinking: Baker Street Nut Brown
You're listening to: Live jazz and rock
Despite being a Sherlock Holmes-themed chain in the middle of a GAP-addicted new urbanism development, the Baker Street Pub is actually cool. No, really. The mass-produced tchotchkies are kept to a minimum, there's a great view of the ice-skating rink outside, and, most important, the bar's packed every night with a laid-back, 25- to 45-year-old crowd focused on drinking, talking, and playing cards.—PD
Old Louisville Inn
740 Front St., Louisville 303-666-9982
You're drinking: Boddingtons
You're listening to: U2, Sinead O'Connor
The copper, tobacco-spit gutter lining the bottom of the antique bar at the Old Louisville Inn should give you an idea the kind of history it's seen: mining strikes, the Ludlow Massacre, a brothel in the back, and an era when firing your six-shooter inside would only get you thrown out, not arrested. —KL
Niwot Tavern
7960 Niwot Road, Niwot, 303-652-0200
You're drinking: Left Hand's Sawtooth Ale and a shot of bourbon
You're listening to: An acoustic country singer
The Niwot resides just east of the tiny downtown, in a crook of businesses behind the gas station. There are only 16 seats at the heavy oak bar, across which the graying bartender will give you an ear-to-ear grin and slide you a pint. Niwotonians are friendly folks, so count on middle-aged regulars to come in with scathing movie reviews and boss around your drink orders. —J. Dorris
Oskar Blues
303 Main St., Lyons, 303-823-6685
You're drinking: Dale's Pale Ale, Old Chubb
You're listening to: Something you'll stomp your feet to
I've spent 27 years creating my own version of heaven, but three years ago I discovered Oskar Blues in Lyons had beat me to the punch. Two hostess angels greeted me at the doors and took me upstairs, where I was offered the finest in comfort food and lost myself in chicken fried steak, buttermilk biscuits, and Dale's Pale Ale. Heaven's river is the creamy draft of Old Chubb, which runs thick, dark, and smoother than its canned cousin. But, like you might suspect, heaven can get a little boring, with lots of families and laughing and food. It's OK, though; downstairs, things are hellaciously fun—it's where soulful women will sing you the blues and country-rockin' old men in torn-off T-shirts will cuss life up one side and down the other. So if you think it's wrong to seek the afterlife in your favorite bar, just pull up a stool, son, and this fresh Dale's Pale Ale says you'll probably change your mind.—J. Dorris
The Kitchen Upstairs
1039 Pearl St., Boulder, 303-544-5973
You're drinking: A decanted half-bottle of French Bordeaux
You're listening to: Ambient downbeats
A place where the grown-ups go to drink in Boulder. Not only is there the impeccably edited menu of wines by the glass (one that's gotten kudos from Wine Spectator), there's also an equally impressive, five-page menu of beer. Yes, five pages of beer, with tasting notes describing the "contemplative bouquet" and "profound hop bitterness" of your $11 pint of Belgian brew. This groovy-cozy lounge is the upstairs extension of Boulder's acclaimed restaurant the Kitchen (hence the name), so the food is knock-your-socks-off good, too. One bite of the wood-fired gnocchi alla romano with Hazel Dell mushrooms and you'll wonder why you ever bothered choking down onion rings at that dive bar last weekend. Most important, that anti-dive bar vibe keeps the CU students at bay, leaving a gap that's easily filled by Boulder's army of beautiful yuppie/sporto singletons. —C. Meyers
West End Tavern
926 Pearl St., Boulder, 303-444-3535
You're drinking: Maker's Mark on the rocks
You're listening to: Journey
On a Friday night in February, the leather-and-brick West End feels like a neighborhood tavern should—rosy-cheeked locals belly up three-deep to the mirrored mahogany bar, shouting out whiskey orders over the banter and classic rock. It's as close as you'll get to the Chicago/Philly/Boston bar experience in Boulder, but with a Dave Query sheen (he's the guy behind Jax and LoLa). Meaning, the floors aren't too sticky, the staff is good-looking, and the BLTs are topped with ahi tuna. —C. Meyers

Roux-en-Y gastric bypass is a surgery for obesity . It changes the stomach and small intestine to cause weight loss by:
The surgery treats severe obesity. A calculation called body mass index ( BMI ) is used to determine how overweight or obese you are. A normal BMI is 18.5-25.
Roux-en-Y gastric bypass is a weight loss option for people with:
The success of gastric bypass surgery depends on your commitment to lifelong health habits. If lifestyle changes are made and maintained, the benefits of bariatric surgery include:
If you are planning to have Roux-en-Y gastric bypass, your doctor will review a list of possible complications, which may include:
Before your procedure, talk to your doctor about ways to manage factors that may increase your risk of complications, such as:
Before the procedure, you will likely have the following:
Leading up to your procedure:
General anesthesia will be used. You will be asleep.
To prepare you for surgery, an IV will be placed in your arm. You will receive fluids and medications through this line during the procedure. A breathing tube will be placed through your mouth and into your throat. This will help you breathe during surgery. You will also have a catheter placed in your bladder to drain urine.
An 8-10 inch incision will be made to open the abdomen. Surgical staples will be used to create a small pouch at the top of your stomach. This pouch, which can hold about 1 cup of food, will be your new, smaller stomach. A normal stomach can hold 4-6 cups of food.
Next, the small intestine will be cut and attached to the new pouch. With the intestinal bypass, food will now move from the new stomach pouch to the middle section of the small intestine. It will skip the lower stomach and the upper section of the small intestine.
Finally, the upper section of the small intestine will be attached to the middle section of the small intestine. This will allow fluid that the lower stomach makes to move down the upper section of the small intestine and into the middle section.
When the bypass is completed, the incisions will be closed with staples or stitches.

You will be taken to the recovery area for monitoring. You will also be given pain medication.
About 2 hours
Anesthesia will prevent pain during surgery. Pain and discomfort after the procedure can be managed with medications.
The usual length of stay is 2-5 days. Your doctor may choose to keep you longer if complications arise.
While you are recovering at the hospital, you may receive the following care:
While in the hospital, you may be asked to do the following:
During your stay, the hospital staff will take steps to reduce your chance of infection, such as:
There are also steps you can take to reduce your chance of infection, such as:
You will need to practice lifelong healthy eating and exercising habits. Keep in mind after your surgery:
Your new stomach is the size of a small egg. It is slow to empty, causing you to feel full quickly. Therefore, you need to eat very small amounts and eat very slowly:
Call your doctor if any of the these occur:
If you think you have an emergency, call for emergency medical services right away.

Season themes
Musical Alchemists
Journeys with great conductors
So what do great conductors do? The answer lies in those cosmic performances, where, in a truly alchemical transformation of elements, something is achieved that goes beyond the composer, the players and the soloists, and we are transfixed by the musical energy that is created on stage. Great conductors don't create concerts that just happen to you, they draw you into performances where you are an active, essential part of it.

Principal Conductor's Series
Heartland of Russia
2014/15 sees Valery Gergiev undertake his final complete London season with the LSO as the Orchestra's 15th Principal Conductor; he will continue the role until the end of 2015. His tenure reaches its hotly anticipated dénouement: a return to iconic repertoire from his homeland. Comprising five all-Russian programmes, his 2014/15 series also incorporates the powerhouse Siberian pianist Denis Matsuev's UBS Soundscapes: LSO Artist Portrait. Russophiles take note: for the most authentic performances of Russian music this side of the Baltic, there's only one place to be next season!

International Violin Festival
Generously supported by Jonathan Moulds
From Easter until the end of Summer 2015 the LSO has assembled 12 of the world's greatest violinists for an International Violin Festival at the Barbican, alongside our own wonderful string talent. With concertos spanning the classical masters (Mozart and Beethoven) right through to the 20th century's finest (Britten, Bartók, Szymanowski) – this Festival is an experience that will be etched in the LSO's history for many decades to come.

LSO Sing
Getting the City into song
LSO Sing is about much more than attending concerts: In Choral Director Simon Halsey's words, 'we want everyone in the City to sing!'. The sheer enjoyment of it is reason enough; moreover, singing is good for you – recent research shows that singing can dramatically increase wellbeing and happiness, and, best of all, it doesn't cost a penny. So come to a choral concert, take part in a singing day. How you do it is up to you, but make sure to be a part of LSO Sing in 2014/15.

Decent, Not Great
- Gender: Male
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
These suffer from the same problem as most compression socks, and that's that they're sized for feet rather than calves. As someone with big feet (size 12 US/46 euro) and skinny little calves (14.5" diameter), that's usually problematic for me because I need large socks for my feet with provide pretty much zero compression for my calves.
I got around that with these by sizing way down, going with Medium. They actually fit my feet just fine (leading me to think their sizing chart is irrelevant) and provide a moderate amount of compression for my calves. They're not as good as my compression calf sleeves, but they're much better than other compression socks (Zoot and DeFeet) that I have.
They're stretchier than other compression socks, meaning they're easier to get on and off, but they still have managed to keep their compression and not stretch out after 6 months of hard use. Considering I got them for $10 on Chainlove, that's not bad at all (and I bought three more pair I have waiting for when these die).
So bottom line, size way down if you have skinny calves, and these are worth it if you can catch them on sale. Otherwise, it's better to go with either calf sleeves or one of the other compression socks out there that independently sizes calf and feet (or at least has a size chart for calf).

Decent, but not the best
These socks are decent, comfortable, and provide moderate compression, but are not the best out there. I have tried several different kinds of compression socks made by Craft, Defeet, and CEP and found the ones made by Craft to be OK. I use them for recovery and long flights and they seem to help. However, I feel for true compression socks, the fit needs to be based on the diameter of your calf, not your shoe size. Therefore, that's why these socks may not truly work for everyone.
