NHL playoffs: Granlund's breakthrough comes at right time for Wild
Mikael Granlund's overtime winner Monday night was just the tonic the Minnesota Wild needed in their playoff series against Colorado.
|Report an Error
Share via Email
ST. PAUL, MINN.—Without Mikael Granlund's overtime goal, the Minnesota Wild would be in major trouble in their first-round series against Colorado.
After a rough rookie year for the young centre from Finland, though, the Wild weren't sure they could count on Granlund this season for such important production.
Coach Mike Yeo said, in a moment of candour, that he didn't expect Granlund's breakthrough to come so quickly this season.
But his slick work with the stick deep in the Avalanche zone and the dramatic diving shot that followed in Game 3 were vivid examples of why Granlund was drafted ninth overall by the Wild in 2010 and considered part of their anticipated core for the next decade.
"From where he was last year to where he is now, it's incredible the leaps that he's taken," teammate and now-linemate Zach Parise said.
"For me, sitting next to him and watching him evolve, get more comfortable in the room and get more comfortable on the ice and see him get rewarded like that, it's awesome."
Concussion issues limited Granlund to 63 games, including the last six of the regular season, but he slid right back into the lineup for the playoffs and gave the Wild new life with his winner on Monday.
Game 4 is set for Thursday, with the Avalanche ahead 2-1 in the series.
The Wild controlled the pace and flow of all three periods, outshooting the Avalanche 44-20, but they precariously returned to the ice for overtime in a scoreless game.
Yeo said he thought the team, for the first time all night, looked tight. So Granlund's goal could hardly have come at a better time.
"When you win the battle against a team, you need to go to the net and a lot of times you have a lot of room there," the soft-spoken 22-year-old said.
That's precisely what happened. After fending off a check along the boards by Jan Hejda, Granlund pivoted to find an opening and swooped in toward the crease. Eluding the outstretched hand of Erik Johnson, Granlund juggled the puck from his backhand to the forehand and again to the backhand as he fell forward and took a diving, final swing.
Finally, the Wild got one past goalie Semyon Varlamov.
Game over.
In the past 75 years, only four other NHL players have made their first career playoff goal the only score in an overtime game. Avalanche forward Ryan O'Reilly in 2010 was the most recent one to do that.
"It's a big goal, but it's more than that," fellow Finn centre Mikko Koivu said. "I think for an individual player, you can create a lot of confidence with that for the games in the future as well."
The abbreviated season last year following the lockout sure didn't help Granlund, who was also dealing with the transition from the wide-open European style to the smaller ice sheet.
The player who attracts paparazzi in his home country and had an eye-popping, lacrosse-style, lifted-puck goal from the 2011 world championships printed on a postage stamp had only two goals and six assists in 27 games and was sent to the AHL for more development.
He had eight goals and 33 assists this season. Then came the overtime on Monday.
"We didn't get beat by a bad goal. We got beat by an outstanding play," Avalanche coach Patrick Roy said. "He made a terrific play in the corner, even better to the front of the net. I mean, we had two guys in front of the net. He went through these guys. He deserves credit."
Darcy Kuemper's 22-save shutout in his playoff debut was another reason the Wild were able to climb back into contention. They'll face an Avalanche team certain to be fired up, particularly in light of losing defenceman Tyson Barrie to a knee-on-knee hit by Wild agitator Matt Cooke.
While the Wild began preparing to play without Cooke, a strong candidate for suspension, the Avalanche regrouped at practice on Wednesday. Johnson called Cooke's pattern of rough play "disgusting" and questioned whether he should remain in the league.
"We're not looking to do anything to the extent he did. We're just out there to finish our checks hard and play hard. As far as retribution? No," Johnson said.
Rookie Nathan MacKinnon and his star-studded line, meanwhile, looked to bounce back from a quiet game.
"It wasn't them that shut us down. I think we shut ourselves down. They played hard and focused on our line, I guess, but it was more what we weren't doing than what they were doing."

Gigamesh moves to Miami: A goodbye interview and mix
Twin Cities electronic music producer Gigamesh remixes dance pop and indie tracks like the average person changes clothes. Minneapolis dance floors and music blogs across the world have been the major beneficiaries, enjoying the crisp and bubbly Matt Masurka touch on tracks by everyone from Classix to Lykke Li to Radiohead. But soon Gigamesh will leave our local DJ booths for sunnier prospects in the clubber's playpen of Miami to join his two fellow partners that make up his DiscoTech producer trio.
When summer's a distant dream in the next few months, we'll be wishing we went with him, but something tells us his tracks will be heating up clubs around here for some time -- regardless of who's playing them.
Gigamesh cools out with his machinery
Included in a long list of recent accomplishments is Gigamesh's production credit on Mike Posner's new album and his "It's So Intense" remix of the orgasmic "Double Rainbow" freakout now cemented into our YouTube-addicted brains. He's also consistently a top-ten favorite on popular music blog aggregator Hype Machine and as we mentioned, one-third of Miami's DiscoTech (love their updated version of "Satisfaction"). So now that you're convinced we're losing a great asset to our nightlife scene (and the tallest DJ in town), it's time to send him off. Here's the ever-telling exit interview and farewell mix he made exclusively for Gimme Noise, and if you see him in Miami, challenge him to a trance danceoff.
Gimme Noise: Matt, we're sad to see you go! Why are you leaving the Twin Cities?
Gigamesh: I'm leaving primarily because I have a growing network of contacts in Miami, but I also kind of want a change of scenery for awhile. I genuinely enjoy the winter, but I think it will be a while before I miss Minnesota temperatures. I don't see myself becoming a Miami "lifer" by any means. I've been there a few times and it's so different than anywhere else in the country (especially cities like Minneapolis). Regardless of where I end up longterm, I'll always feel like Minnesota is home. All my extended family is here, and I love the Twin Cities.
Did you anticipate all the hoopla over the Double Rainbow remix? Have you ever done any spoofy productions like that before?
I have mixed feelings about that. I realized shortly after that I was riding the coattails of an Internet meme and those wear out way too fast for anyone to care for very long. I have a habit of impulsively remixing anything I think is interesting, without thinking about how people will view it. But I'm happy with the song and I will be putting it on an album (but probably with less of his vocals so the source isn't as obvious). And yes, I have done that before: I made one of the Bill O'Reilly freak-out which actually got a lot of rotation by club DJs. As fun as those are, I don't think I'll be doing any more.
What productions or remixes do you have coming up? Any album or compilation in the works?
I just did a remix for Christina Aguilera that will be released as DiscoTech, and the remix I did for Mike Posner (which was turned into a radio single) is currently #7 on Billboard. I'm working on Lookbook's album and just finished helping Estate on an EP (engineering/co-producing for both). I'm also still in the early stages of promoting an album I released with Señor Stereo.
Between those projects, all my time has been devoted to making songs for an upcoming Gigamesh album. I'm hoping to have it done and ready to be shopped to labels by winter.
How did the Posner thing even come about?
His manager approached me last fall to do a remix and gave me the option between a few songs. I chose "Cooler Than Me" and started sending them samples as I was working on it. They liked it a lot but there was a little drama at one point because Mike ended up taking one of the samples I sent and reworked it into his own version, which ended up on his mixtape prematurely (and with no indication that he had changed it). However, they smoothed that over and hired me again to condense it down into a radio-friendly single. After awhile, my version started to get more attention than the original so they decided to make it into the official single.
Who are your heroes in dance music and why?
Like so many people my age, Daft Punk was my introduction to modern dance music and Justice revived my interest in it. Lately I've been getting really into old italo-disco because it's so synth heavy and has a lot of crossover with other genres like techno, metal, and experimental orchestral stuff. Some dance music heroes: Daft Punk, Tiga, Joakim, Alexander Robotnick, James Murphy, Zombie Nation, Goblins, Liquid Liquid, Midnight Star, Caribou, etc.
What has been your favorite party to play in the Cities or abroad?
Too Much Love, hands down. I'd be willing to bet that it's one of the best weekly parties in the country because the audience has been trained to be very open-minded and they are willing to dance to unfamiliar music. Even compared to events I've been to in Miami, it is the best I've experienced so far.
What's your guiltiest pleasure, music-wise?
I hear a lot of people hating the Black Eyed Peas song "Imma Be". The chorus is obviously corny, but I love the production. I think Will.i.am
If you had to choose one particular song to play in every set for the rest of your life, what would you choose?
The Popular People's Front - Church Love (Leo Zero Re-Edit). It's just a disco edit of the New York Community Choir song 'Express Yourself'. I'm not religious, but songs like this make me feel like I should be.
Anything you'd like to add before you sign off?
Everyone come visit me in Miami! We'll drink Cuban coffee and wing-dance to crappy trance all night!

India Fighting Worst Crisis Since 91 Seeks to Buoy Rupee
Back To Main News
India increased efforts to stem the rupees plunge and stop capital outflows that are pushing the economy towards its biggest crisis in more than two decades.
The Reserve Bank of India, whose Governor Duvvuri Subbarao steps down next month, cut the amount local companies can invest overseas without seeking approval to 100 percent of their net worth, from 400 percent, according to a statement late yesterday. Residents can remit $75,000 a year versus the previous $200,000 limit. Rupee forwards rose for the first time in three days.
Policy makers moves since July to tighten cash supply, restrict currency derivatives and curb gold imports have failed to arrest the rupees slump to record lows as they struggle to attract capital to fund a record current account deficit. The rupee has weakened 28 percent in the past two years, the biggest tumble since the government pledged gold reserves in exchange for loans from the International Monetary Fund in 1991.
I dont think this fixes Indias problem, at best it restricts about $5 billion of flows annually, which doesnt make a dent, Bhanu Baweja, the global head of emerging market cross asset strategy at UBS AG, said in a phone interview from London yesterday. The minute you restrict outflows, people will start legitimately speaking in terms of capital controls, although these are only on locals and not on foreign investors.
Cash Reserves
Central bankers also exempted lenders from cash reserve rules for certain foreign-currency deposits yesterday. Banks accepting non-rupee deposits after Aug. 24 from Indians living abroad need no longer keep 4 percent in cash and invest 23 percent in government-approved securities, the RBI said.
Nomura Holdings Inc. estimated that private remittances and outward direct investment abroad totaled $15.9 billion in the year ended March 31, citing central bank data.
Expanding Markets
Indian companies outward foreign direct investment has been growing in recent years for various reasons such as pursuing growth markets, technology, natural resources, and these could be adversely hit, Sonal Varma, an economist at Nomura in Mumbai, wrote in a report yesterday. While the authorities aim to reduce foreign-exchange volatility, we fear that they may end up sending a panic signal.
One-month offshore non-deliverable rupee forwards, which investors use to hedge or speculate on the currency, rose 0.2 percent 61.83 per dollar yesterday. NDFs touched a record low of 62.53 on Aug. 6. The contracts, settled in dollars, are agreements to buy or sell assets at a set price and date.
Rupee Falls
In the spot market, the rupee fell 0.4 percent to 61.4437 per dollar before the announcement. It has lost 11 percent this year, the second most among 12 Asian currencies. The rupee touched an all-time low of 61.8050 on Aug. 6.
The Bank of New York Mellon India ADR Index for Indian stocks traded overseas rose 0.2 percent yesterday to 1011.77, paring its decline this year to 3.3 percent. Indias benchmark Sensex index is down 0.3 percent this year. Financial markets in India are closed today for the Independence Day holiday.
The rupees plunge accelerated since May as foreign investors pulled money from Indian bonds and stocks on concern the U.S. will pare stimulus. International investors cut their holdings of Indian bonds by $10 billion since a peak in May to $28 billion, the lowest since January 2012, according to central bank data.
Steadying the rupee is the top priority for policy, the monetary authority said on July 29.
Capital Controls
The imposition of capital controls is one facet of the impossible trinity trilemma that Subbarao says the central bank is facing. The economic theory argues that it isnt possible to have free movement of capital, a fixed exchange rate and an independent monetary policy simultaneously.
To contain the currency decline, the RBI raised two interest rates July 15 and restricted banks access to cash through its daily repurchase auctions.
India also boosted import duties on gold and silver on Aug. 13 and banned the import of gold in the form of coins and medallions to reduce the trade deficit. In a briefing in New Delhi yesterday, Economic Affairs Secretary Arvind Mayaram said imported gold must be stored in government-mandated warehouses.
So far, the efforts have fallen short as capital outflows make it more difficult for India to bridge the gap in the current account, the broadest measure of trade.
The deficit widened to an unprecedented 4.8 percent of gross domestic product in the year ended March 31. The government aims to narrow the gap to 3.7 percent of GDP, or $70 billion, this year, Indian Finance Minister Palaniappan Chidambaram told parliament in New Delhi yesterday.
New Banker
Raghuram Rajan, the University of Chicago economist credited with predicting the 2008 financial crisis, will take charge of the Reserve Bank next month after Subbaraos term ends Sept. 4. Theres no magic wand to fix Indias problems, he said on the day of his appointment Aug. 6., while adding the RBI and the government will deal with the challenges.
The measures are unlikely to have a meaningful impact on the currency, Aneesh Srivastava, chief investment officer at IDBI Federal Life Insurance, said in a phone interview. For a long-term impact we need to increase the attractiveness of India as an investment destination.
1990s Crisis
The rupees decline is a reminder of the crisis in the 1990s when the widening deficits in the budget and current account pushed the currency down 37 percent between 1991 and 1992. The government secured an emergency loan of $2.2 billion the IMF by pledging 67 tons of Indias gold reserves as collateral. Growth slowed to 2.1 percent in 1991, from 5.6 percent the previous year.
Assistance from the IMF led then finance minister and now prime minister, Manmohan Singh, to open Indias economy to foreign investment. Since then, economic growth has accelerated, with GDP expanding more than 9 percent in each of the three years through March 2008 compared with 3.7 percent between 1950 to 1973.
The country is in a better position to counter a crisis, with $277 billion foreign reserves, enough to cover more than six months of imports, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. That compares with less than two months of import coverage in 1991, according to a RBI report in August 2012.
Growth Slowdown
At the same time, the economy is posting its slowest growth since 2003, expanding 5 percent in the year ended March 2013. Last month, the RBI cut its growth forecast for the year through March 2014 to 5.5 percent form 5.7 percent.
Indias currency defense will raise borrowing costs for the government and companies, slowing economic growth further, according to Michael Shaoul, chairman of New York-based Marketfield Asset Management LLC.
It is historically very difficult to defend a currency when you have large current account deficit, Shaoul, who helps manage $13 billion in assets, said in a phone interview from New York yesterday. These measures are not really helpful as they are going to do damages to the local economy. The real danger is that foreigners start to withdraw more capital and you start a vicious cycle.

Revolutionized our trips
We love being able to plug in anything we want while on trips. The voltage and frequency are spot on. Performance gets 4/5 for slight fan noise: not noticeable at highway speeds and better if the unit is under the seat. Unit has never even gotten warm. Very satisfied.

the magnesium miracle
Posted by alloriginal on Jul 15, 2013
discovering the power of magnesium was, for me, a miracle. For decades I suffered from nearly-debilitating muscle cramps and headaches (those hours-long leg cramps at night--argh!). A friend suggested trying magnesium. I was skeptical, having already tried everything. It worked like a charm! I am now a hardcore magnesium enthusiast, and I recommend it to people on a regular basis. The muscle cramps and headaches are a thing of the past. I haven't been constipated in years, and my blood pressure and resting pulse rate are now those of a healthy teenager. Magnesium is involved in more bodily functions than can be listed here, including bone formation. 2 or three of these may be just what you need, as it was for me. Thank goodness for Iherb! I believe that nutritional supplements saved my life. I've tried a lot of products, and I know what works and what doesn't. My reviews are honest, straighforward, and based on my experience. Read my other reviews to quickly learn from my three decades of research and experimentation.

Great for leg cramps. It has magnesium stearate, which is used to prevent the product from sticking to machinery during manufacturing. I'm not too thrill about that. The pills are rather large, but I don't have problems swallowing pills. Product comes in a glass bottle so be careful where you store it.

CellMins are the Right Prescription for My Leg Cramps
Posted by Reviewer1486548 on Feb 22, 2012
I have trouble with painful muscle cramps in my legs and feet that that attack me suddenly while I am sleeping. This mineral supplement has completely put a stop to my night cramps. I do careful research and work hard to find the most bioavailable supplements and I haven't been dissappointed in this product. It performs exactly as I had hoped.
Seem to work well
Posted by Reviewer2507428 on Feb 08, 2012
Sleep has been good and these do seem to have a calming effect when taking several caps. The only downside is the number of caps you have to take (4) to get to 400 mg but I suppose this has to do with the chelation method.

STOP Leg Cramps
Posted by Reviewer3324856 on Nov 21, 2011
I live in sub-tropical Florida. Everyone who lives in the tropics and even the sub-tropics know that the heat and humidity can drain your body's fluids more quickly than you can replenish them with water or even Gator Aid. After a day of trimming trees or fixing fences the cramps would be off the charts. Since I've been on a two/day regimen of Twinlab's CellMins Potassium & Magnesium no more cramps. My wife was so impressed with my results, she takes them as well. The painful nighttime leg cramps that would awaken her are GONE. This product works.

Sold Out $27.99
2013 vintage is available for $21.99
Antinori Chianti Classico Peppoli 2010
Sangiovese from Tuscany, Italy
Winemaker's Notes
Ruby red in color, the 2010 Peppoli is characterized by aromas of vibrant red cherry with inviting chocolate and vanilla notes from the oak aging. On the palate, the wine shows true Sangiovese character with soft and silky tannins and a long persistent finish.
Critical Acclaim
International Wine Cellar - "Bright red-ruby. Redcurrant, dusty herbs and flowers on the nose, complemented by sweet spices. Supple and vinous, showing easy sweetness and plenty of bright fruit. Seems more concentrated, precise and deep than any recent Peppoli vintage I can think of. Finishes with good grip and moderately long sweet fruit flavors. Makes a great pizza wine, but can also match up to more complex dishes as well this vintage. Very good, solid entry-level wine, and an even better value than usual."
Wine Spectator - "Lively and elegant, showing herb, black cherry and spice flavors backed by dusty tannins. There's moderate length on the finish. Drink now through 2017."
Antinori Winery
The Antinori family of Florence, one of the world's oldest and most distinguished wine producers, has lived in Tuscany since the 14th century and celebrated its 625th anniversary as wine makers in 2010. The current company president, Marchese Piero Antinori, believes in the tradition that the primary role of wine is to accompany food and enhance the dining experience. In Florence, the Antinori family has led a "Renaissance" in Italian wine making by combining long traditions, a love of authenticity and a dynamic innovative spirit. View all Antinori Wines
About TuscanyView a map of Tuscany wineries (TUSS-can-ee) Sangiovese. Most of the wine coming from Tuscany is made from some clone of this varietal, but a growing trend, started by the renegade winemakers of those Super Tuscans, is to incorporate more international varietals.
Notable FactsThe most well known sub-districts of Tuscany are Chianti, Brunello di Montalcino and Vino Nobile di Montepulciano (note that Montepulciano here refers to the local village, not the grape variety found in the Italian region of Abruzzi). Wine labeled from these regions is DOC-regulated and Sangiovese-based blends. Quality wine from these DOC areas has been on the rise for decades, with top-notch winemakers and wineries shedding the low-quality image once held for Tuscan wine by producing consistently outstanding bottlings that range from deliciously drinkable to highly ageable. Newer to the scene are regions like Bohlgeri and the Maremma, home to of what are now termed "Super-Tuscans," named for the wine coming from the Tuscany area, but not following all of the DOC or DOCG laws required in Italy. In the 1970's, some pioneer winemakers began buying land outside of Chianti and Montalcino, and planting not only Sangiovese, but also international varieties like Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. The wine they produced only fit into the lowest Italian category of "vina da tavola," but the winemakers sold the wine for high prices, creating an almost cult following, and spurning a new wine category called IGT.
About Italy
A little ditty about Italy...This country has about as many wines as its had governments. With 20 different regions, hundreds of DOCs and even more indigenous varieties, the amount of wine made in Italy is mind-boggling. Most of the juice, however, remains in the country for thirsty Italians. Wine is food in Italy and its rare that a meal is consumed without a glass of vino. That said, it's not common to find many folks drinking wine without food either. In turn, it's a match, and a mighty good one at that. In fact, it's safe to say that Italian wine is a foodie wine – one that goes on the table for a myraid of meals.
For regions, the most popular are Tuscany (home of Chianti), Piedmont and the Tre-Venezie, which includes Veneto, Trentino Alto-Adige and Friuli. Other communes of note are in Southern Italy, and a few good wines are made elsewhere in the country. The islands of Sardinia and Sicily are members of the Italian winemaking community as well.

I am looking at having to use formula, and I hate the thought of it. I want nothing but the best for her. I love breastfeeding, and I wanted to EBF for at least 6 months. I have tried everything to get my supply back up, but I unfortunately cannot pump at work. I tried getting up every 2-3 hours while LO is asleep and pumping. It doesn't seem to be working, and she screams a lot while on the boob, and I keep having to dig into my freezer stash. I've started taking fenugreek and upping my water and caloric intake but still nothing. Ugh, I am just stressing so bad. I'm exhausted from getting up to pump all the time. I'm losing it. I would hate to have to give her formula, but I guess if it's what I have to do, it's what I have to do. I just need some support or advice. ANYTHING! I feel like I have failed her...
Went back to work and supply tanked... :(
Posted 11/22/2011
You have not failed her. Hang in there! Eat oatmeal every morning. Try drinking a beer in the evening. Lots of water of course. Try Mothers Milk Tea. I haven't tried them yet but lots of people are making lactation cookies. I just read in another post that changing the size of your breastshields to a smaller size helps. Also pumping both sides at the same time produces more milk than pumping separately. Hope this helps!
Posted 11/22/2011
To be honest, it probably is because you can't pump at work. Try talking to your Dr sooner rather than later about Reglan, a rx to increase your supply.

All of the above and can you pump othe way to and from work? Investigated all ways to see if you can pump st work? I'm sorry you are going through this.
Posted 11/22/2011
Your job is legally required to give you breaks for pumping. But I do understand some jobs are just not possible to make it work. I agree w/ pp, maybe try pumping on your commute? Assuming you don't take public transportation. But if nothing else works, don't kick yourself if you have to start supplementing. The first few months are the most important for BF. And if you keep a few feedings, that will be great. Get your sleep! Caring for yourself is important for your LO's well-being too.
Posted 11/22/2011
Can you at least pump during your lunch break? I honestly think if you go all day without pumping you are seriously jeopardizing your milk supply.

Ha... I have pumped in the car... some pumps come with battery packs. Just put on one of those hand free pumpking bras, pull your shirt down, and go to town.
But I agree, why can't you pump at work? Don't they have to let you?

I would contact HR about being able to pump at work. I pump 3 times at work, as well as on my way to and from. It takes me <15 mins. If you don't pump, you will dry up. Sorry your dealing with this.

Try feeding on one side and pumping the other. It was the only way I could get enough when I went back to work with my first. Three weeks into work I have to do it with the second. If you have enough daytime feedings you may not have to do it in the middle of the night.
Posted 11/22/2011
Sorry, just realized my comment could be confusing. I meant feed on one side and pump the other at the same time. I found pumping on the more productive side and feeding on the less productive side got more milk out for the bottle and the babies were satisfied. Do it on every day off feeding to increase your stash (plus if you feed on both sides, it'll take a few days to increase your supply so the current feeding has enough- I've fed one side per feeding since this one was born knowing I would have to do this again. Normally get six to seven ounces at work and three to four when I do this.) If you can get a good pump you can pump in ten minutes or less. My home pump and work pump are both used Medelas. One takes 20 minutes to pump, the other less than ten (timed it yesterday at 8 plus 1 minutes to put everything away).

Every great rock venue needs the nearby meeting space-the place my young cousins call the "pre-party."
"So we're pre-partying at the P.S. before the Bluebird?" my cousin Marky-Mark would ask. "Uh, yeah, we're meeting there at 8," I'd answer nervously.
It's the reason we celebrated when The Meadowlark opened in the warehouse district. A half-block from the Larimer Lounge, it's now the logical pre- or post-party when you want to sit down outside the club.
It took us a couple of tries to find the right spot for pre- Gothic Theatre goodness, but now we have it nailed. And the Casual Lounge (75 W. Floyd Ave., 303-789-9775) steadily has grown into one of my favorite bars in Denver, er, Englewood.
The walking-distance options on that stretch of South Broadway aren't all that plentiful. There's Table Steaks, but unless you're stopping in for a quick Abo's slice, the brightly lit billiards hall is obnoxious. There's the excellent, rundown bowling alley a few doors south of the Gothic, but they only serve beer.
There are other options, but nothing stands as tall as the Casual, a warm and divey spot to be with friends, play darts, rock the jukebox, and spot musicians before their sets. Before December's Dandy Warhols show at the Gothic, my friends and I eyed Dandys drummer Brent DeBoer sneaking into the Casual for a quick pre-show drink. I was star-struck, in an indie rock kinda way, as the Dandys are my favorite band in the universe.
But earlier this week, I won my first darts game at the Casual. My roommate Loren and I had light-railed to the Casual for pre-Rhett Miller cocktails, and while the game was close, I was on. Loren knew he was doomed. And as we finished our strongly poured cocktails, I nailed the bullseye by throwing all three darts in the same throw - putting me over the top on the chalkboard.
The older crowd applauded a little. They recognize us, sort of, as the kids who come in before shows. They always ask who's playing, and then they laugh at "those bands these days." We leave, but not before telling the sweet bartender we'll see her soon.
Funky: Cheap drinks.
Skunky: Cheap well liquors.

Some turn to a bottle of bourbon. Others head for the nearest pizza joint. Yet, for a small group, nothing helps them cleanse themselves from a night in the kitchen like updating their personal blog.
We're talking, of course, about chefs.
There are a handful of them in Seattle who have some stories and opinions worth reading. What makes a good chef blog? Ultimately, it's a nice mix of information and entertainment. Like any good chef, a good chef blogger will understand the importance of these ingredients. There are actually some other fun chef blogs out there, but sadly, they haven't been updated in ages. Are you listening chef writers? Get back on that laptop and give us the goods! We have an intrinsic need to know what our chefs are doing and thinking when they're not feeding us. With that in mind, we amassed a collection of our Top 5 favorite Seattle chef blogs.
5. Cuisiniers Kitchen
Bill Morris is not only a talented chef, he's a talented photographer
Who knew the executive chef of The Rainier Club kept a really cool blog? "I have been writing continuously and passionately since about November of 2005," says Bill Morris, who actually has two blogs. The main one, Cuisiniers Kitchen, is where Morris does most of his creative writing -- menus, photos, ideas, philosophies, contemplations, etc.. The other, The Digital Kitchen, is more of a little photo gallery. "I like the other one better," says Morris. We do, too.4. Recipes for Life
Lisa Nakamura, the former Chef de Cuisine of The Herbfarm and Sous Chef at the French Laundry, started her blog in November 2009. "It's always been a dream of mine to write a cookbook for life in and out of the kitchen; simple lessons translated from food, if only we are willing to listen," says Nakamura. "Take the onion, so often overlooked, but very complex and versatile if handled with care and love. Isn't life, often at times, like that? Writing is a catharsis for me, a way to digest what I have learned over the years, and also a way to look back and laugh at the funny things I have experienced." Nakamura's newest blog post addresses her most recent venture: opening her own restaurant on Orcas Island called Allium.
3. Family Meal
Tom Douglas family meals must be awesome
Tom Douglas began mailing out newsletters 20 years ago. Those newsletters became totally electronic six years ago. Now, it's strictly a blog that examines all things food and wine. "All of my newsletters have always been an open dialogue about my travels, eating adventures, etcetera," says Douglas. "They've been chatty and conversational, and so is the blog." The Douglas staff, everyone from the bookkeeper to the line cook, takes turns updating the blog. Douglas says he gets a kick reading about their point of view on restaurants and foods. "There's lots of cool voices out there worth hearing." If you want to hear from the big guy himself, Douglas chimes in on the blog every six to eight weeks.
2. Orangette
It wasn't that long ago that Delancey co-owner Molly Wizenberg was a disgruntled UW grad student studying the French social security system in Paris. "I was much more interested in walking around and finding, you know, what so-and-so claimed to be the best baguette or the best croissant," says Wizenberg, who decided to quit studying and start eating. In 2004, she started the blog Orangette, named after those chocolate covered candy orange rinds in France. The blog centers around the nuances that are born out of the kitchen, "The people who are sitting at the table with you, where you got your recipe, who taught it to you -- all that. So, in my blog, what I try to do is each week, focus on one recipe and sort of tell the story that spins from that." The blog has spurred a successful monthly food column in Bon Appetit and the cookbook, A Homemade Life. The Times of London even named Orangette the number one food blog of 2009.
1. Chef Reinvented
Becky cooking without garlic
Becky Selengut is a lot of things: a private chef, a recipe developer for Bluebird Grain Farms, an instructor at PCC, a cookbook author, and a local freelance food writer. She's also insanely funny. The combination makes her blog, Chef Reinvented, our favorite read. "I started Chef Reinvented (which was first born as Chef Interrupted) when I developed a garlic allergy and thought I was going to go flipping mad," says Selengut, who has worked the kitchens at La Medusa, La Spiga, and The Herbfarm. "A chef with a garlic allergy - it's like a bad joke. The writing helped me and I love to write and make people laugh, so at first it was therapy, then it just became a fun habit and now it has nothing to do with allergies, it's just a view on my crazy life with food. I don't have time to write as often as I like so I'm going for the quality not quantity model of blogging." Selengut's favorite blog entries are also ours: "I fucking hate Vegas" and " Life is just a bowl of Montmorency Cherries."

Green Apples Clip Art
Apples: Few people realize the tremendous benefits that apple trees provide to the environment. An acre of orchard removes 30,000 pounds per year of carbon dioxide and generates 12,000 pounds per year of oxygen. (An average human consumes 412 pounds of oxygen per year -- and an average passenger car produces 11,450 pounds of carbon dioxide per year). The cooling effect of a one-acre apple orchard is equivalent to operating 4 home air conditioners at full capacity, 10 hours a day, for 3 months. Gopher Glen
