Winning the Stanley Cup puts the Detroit Red Wings in the enviable position of playing with house money this summer.
Off-Season Game Plan looks at what the Wings might try to accomplish as they re-load in an effort to defend their championship next season.
Detroit's consistently strong regular seasons -- eight straight seasons with more than 100 points -- have been undermined by some earlier than expected playoff departures, but a trip to the Conference Final in 2007 and a Stanley Cup win in 2008 puts the Wings at the top of the hockey world with a team that promises to stay competitive for the forseeable future.
"I think we're getting better; we'll be better next year," head coach Mike Babcock told MLive.com. "That doesn't mean we'll win more games or be in this situation (next season), but we got great kids coming up and our core guys are (mostly) young and are going to be better."
What makes the Wings' roster so amazing is that it is comprised of so many mid-to-late-round draft steals, something imperative for a team that has been drafting late in the first round every year if they are to stay at the top.
For example, the Wings have one returning forward that was drafted in the first round of the NHL draft and that was Dan Cleary, whose career was in a tailspin before it was salvaged by the Wings after the lockout.
On the blueline, it's a similar story, as Niklas Kronwall is the only returnee taken in the first round yet somehow the Wings still have the most dominant puck-control team in the league.
That being the case, the Wings deserve all the praise they get, particularly when it comes to the talent evaluators. General manager Ken Holland, assistant general manager Jim Nill, director of amateur scouting Joe McDonnell and Hakan Andersson, Detroit's Director of European Scouting, are the best in the business right now and this is their brief time to reap the rewards before getting back to work on the draft and free agency.
"We got a real nice mix of youth and veterans, a lot of young players who are close," Holland told CanWest News, appraising his team's future. "Most of our team is signed up; we have lots of cap space. We certainly have the option if we want to be aggressive."
Yes, it's good to be the Wings.
GM/COACHKen Holland/Mike Babcock
Top Prospects: Ville Leino, Jan Mursak, Justin Abdelkader
Quite possibly the top all-around player in the NHL, Henrik Zetterberg's work in the defensive zone sets him apart from the rest of the league's snipers and his Conn Smythe-winning playoff performance helped spread the word of his excellence.
Pavel Datsyuk has been better than a point-per-game scorer for three straight seasons, with his plus-minus increasing in each of those seasons, culminating in a Selke Trophy in 2007-2008. The tandem of Zetterberg and Datsyuk is right there with the league's best when comparing franchise forwards.
After more than two seasons of work as a grinder, power forward Johan Franzen emerged as a big-time goal-scorer late in the season and into the playoffs. If his scoring touch is legit, it's almost unfair for the Wings to have discovered another elite player.
Mikael Samuelsson's goal output has declined for the last couple seasons, but he's still a quality complementary winger who plays well defensively and can contribute offensively.
Crease crasher Tomas Holmstrom suffered through a number of injuries, with his 59 games representing his lowest total since 1997-1998, but he's very effective around the opposing goal.
Tiny playmaker Jiri Hudler is making gradual progress as he battles to establish himself as an NHLer. Despite playing a little over 13 minutes per game, Hudler still produced 42 points in his second NHL season; a solid offensive contribution in a limited role.
Dan Cleary has saved his career in Detroit and, despite being limited to 63 games when he suffered a knee injury and a broken jaw, Cleary still put up a career-high 42 points.
A Red Wing since 1993-1994, Kris Draper was a solid contributor on the Cup run, but his regular season showed some slippage. 17 points was his lowest total since 1999-2000 and his minus-2 rating was his first minus rating since 1996-1997. The 37 year-old may be due for a reduced role soon.
Tomas Kopecky played a minimal checker's role in his first full NHL season, generating promise for the future, but his off-season will be spent rehabilitating a torn ACL, suffered late in the regular season. As such, expectations for next season will be based on his health.
The next generation of Red Wings checkers will get a boost from Darren Helm, the rookie who was an effective part of the Wings' run to the Cup. Helm's not going to be a big scorer, but his speed will make him a fine penalty killer and defensive role player.
Veteran checker Kirk Maltby's game has dropped off in recent years, scoring 32 points and recording a minus-26 rating in the last three seasons combined.
Valtteri Filppula's second NHL season was a step in the right direction, bumping his point total from 17 to 36 and adding 11 more points in the playoffs. On his career ascent, Filppula should only improve in the coming seasons.
As the Cup champions, it's not surprising that the Wings are already well-stocked up front, but they could add further talent to the group.
The signing of Finnish sniper Ville Leino gives the Wings another potential scorer, while the Wings also have the cap room to make a significant free agent addition if, say, Mats Sundin could be lured to join his fellow Swedish stars.
Top Prospects: Brendan Smith, Jakub Kindl
The consistent excellence that Nicklas Lidstrom provides gives the Wings a real advantage over the rest of the league. Now 38, Lidstrom just won his sixth Norris Trophy, coming off a season in which he put up 70 points and a plus-40 rating.
Michigan native Brian Rafalski returned home as a free agent last summer and may have come up with the best season of his career, scoring a career-high 13 goals and tying his previous season's career-best of 55 points. The 34-year-old is vulnerable down low against bigger forwards, but his style of play suits Detroit's puck-possession style so well.
Rising star Niklas Kronwall has never played more than 68 games, so injuries are still a question with him, but everything else about his game is on the upswing. His point and plus-minus numbers improved dramatically in his third season and he used the playoffs as a showcase for his hard-hitting style.
Smooth-skating Brett Lebda is kept in a limited role because of the experienced blueliners ahead of him on the depth chart, but the 26-year-old may be ready for a bigger role.
The rest of the returnees (and restricted free agents) are an inexperienced lot.
Derek Meech is a little undersized and can move the puck well enough, but he plays so little in Detroit that he hasn't had much chance to be more than a bit player.
Jonathan Cricsson is a tall and rangy defender who has put up a couple of good seasons in the American Hockey League and fared well in his short stint with the Wings as an injury replacement. He should be under consideration for a depth spot next season.
Kyle Quincey has played 13 games with Detroit over the last three seasons, but has developed his game in the AHL, showing the willingness to mix it up that, coupled with his pro experience, might help him earn a spot.
With veterans Andreas Lilja, Brad Stuart and Chris Chelios slated to hit free agency, the Red Wings need to consider going into the free agent market to replace at least some of them, depending on who re-signs.
Given the current state of the Detroit blueline, one top four defenceman should headline the shopping list, with a physical presence like Jason Smith or Mike Commodore making some sense at the right price, though Stuart may be the best fit for the unit overall because he has some puck skills to go with his physical presence.
Top Prospect: Daniel Larsson
35-year-old Chris Osgood emerged to replace a fading Dominik Hasek in the postseason and, coming off possibly his best regular season, the Wings took flight with Ozzie in goal. He'll provide veteran leadership and be a reliable, if not spectacular, presence in goal.
Prospect Jimmy Howard has been biding his time in the American Hockey League for three seasons and, with Dominik Hasek retiring, Howard may finally get his chance to stick in the NHL.
If the franchise isn't so keen on Howard, they could always take a run at a free agent goaltender like Nashville's Dan Ellis, who showed the Wings his stuff firsthand in Round One of the playoffs.
DRAFT30th - Anton Gustafsson, David Toews, Daultan Leveille

I really dig Minnix's simple site.
Applauding Lift.do for their use of Open Sans!
The fact that the sass-lang site has a (really nice) living style guide inside of itself makes me wet my meta-panties
Reading about Sass @2:30am in the morning and writing sassy tweets about it. The colors and the use of open source typography is quite nice in use on the sass-lang site.

I've had this tab up since last night when a friend linked it to me. I'm both surprised and unsurprised there's a term for this. I feel less alone knowing it exists.
One quotation that sums up the philosophy of Invented Here is "Gee, it can't be worth much if someone local thought of it first."
80% of users only use 20% of features. Part of good product design is hiding 80% of advanced features from those users so things do not easily go astray.
As per Marc's piece, my process isn't an exact match-up, but I do wholeheartedly believe –
Don't force a process on a design team that everyone must follow.
Bad product design is fixed by hiring good designers not by adopting a [seemingly] better design process.
Bad design processes are like 1984. They dumb down everything to the lowest common denominator so no one feels excluded. They make the team slow, bloated, and insipid. They allow non-designers to make terrible design decisions. They furthermore get non-designers to believe those decisions are better than their designer's.
Luckily, there isn't a sharp toned pitch in this story, so we are able to diagnose the poison. I wish I had good advice for how to navigate this situation. It would be right here [ ]! Check back in 5 years.
At every position of the cursor you can picture a triangle between the current mouse position and the upper and lower right corners of the dropdown menu. If the next mouse position is within that triangle, the user is probably moving their cursor into the currently displayed submenu. Amazon uses this for a nice effect. As long as the cursor stays within that blue triangle the current submenu will stay open. It doesn't matter if the cursor hovers over "Appstore for Android" momentarily — the user is probably heading toward "Learn more about Cloud Drive."
And if the cursor goes outside of the blue triangle, they instantly switch the submenu, giving it a really responsive feel.

Losing ground • Other Utah regulations also work against small wineries as they endeavor to place their products in state-controlled liquor stores. Wineries are required to buy back slow-selling products at full retail price, making it impossible to adjust pricing by paying the difference in the wholesale price or buying it back for the lower price paid by the state.
Those slim profit margins have forced some local wineries to forgo Utah-grown ingredients for cheaper out-of-state concentrates and bulk wines, said Stacey Dezelsky, owner of Spanish Valley Vineyards in Moab.

"More and more vineyards are being ripped out, neglected, being put on the market for their land," said Dezelsky, whose property is for sale. "I don't have the financial resources to go upstate and lobby, but I'd like to see tax breaks given to wineries producing from Utah products."
Interest in growing grapes in the region where the borders of Utah, Colorado, Arizona and New Mexico meet dates to 1980 and a report by the University of Arizona, which published results of a seven-year study that promised salvation for failing family farms.
"Grape and Wine Production in the Four Corners Region" said wine grapes could grow vigorously in the sandy desert soil. It added that one acre of grapes would use 20 percent of the water needed to grow a field of alfalfa, Utah's No. 1 cash crop.
In 1989, Utah's first winery, Arches, opened and produced 1,500 gallons of wine — after an intense lobbying effort that culminated in a 1988 state law making it legal to make and sell wine.
Across the state line in Colorado, farmers also read the study and began planting grapes.
Today, Colorado has 1,000 acres of thriving grapes under cultivation (compared with Utah's 61 acres) and 100 wineries (Utah has 11). Colorado also has a full-time state viticultlurist who works out of Grand Junction, while Utah has no one in its agriculture extension offices who specializes in wine grapes.
"Why am I the go-to person for farmers needing information about growing grapes?" asked Dezelsky, who has been doing so since the 1990s. "It's because we have no state support."
Gov. Gary Herbert, who in recent months has pressed the Legislature to increase the number of available restaurant liquor licences in the name of economic development, has little say about Utah's wine industry and its challenges. He referred questions about issues raised by winemakers to the Governor's Office of Economic Development, which initially said it would comment but never followed through.
In Colorado, there has been no shortage of support. Its boom began taking shape in 1990, when the General Assembly passed legislation creating the Colorado Wine Industry Development Board under the authority of the Colorado Department of Agriculture. At the time, Colorado had only five licensed wineries. The board is funded by a tax on every bottle of wine, part of the proceeds of which also go promoting Colorado wine and to fund viticultural research at Colorado State University.
"The biggest thing that differentiates Colorado's wine industry from Utah's was the creation of the Colorado Wine Industry Development Board," said Doug Caskey, the agency's executive director. "It gave us a 10-year leg up over Arizona and New Mexico, and today all three states have a significant leg up over Utah."
About the same time the Colorado board was formed, the Utah Legislature was moving more cautiously, allowing Arches to have a tasting room, which is a standard feature of wineries worldwide. In 1992, lawmakers gave a tax break for wine sold at the winery after the LDS Church dropped its opposition to the bill.
Eternal hope • Little has changed in the ensuing years. For a Utah winery to sell its own wine, the tasting room technically becomes a state wine store. The winery pays the state a $3,800 licensing fee, plus an annual renewal fee of $1,400 to $2,900, based on the amount produced. The winery also pays 10 percent to the school lunch fund, 1 percent to the Department of Public Safety, plus a 5 percent administrative fee to the DABC. Instead of being sent to a liquor store, the wine stays on the grounds where it was made and where everything is built, owned, staffed and maintained by the winery (from which it can be sold).
"It's weird. I'm paying the state money when I'm producing the wine and selling it from my own winery," said Evan Lewandowski, who opened Ruth Lewandowski Wines in South Salt Lake last year. "But I have a crazy optimism that in my lifetime, things will change."
Hive owner Yahne shares that sentiment. He is pushing for state wine stores to highlight Utah wines with better product displays on the sales floor. He also would like to see restrictions eased on the quantity of wine that small growers must produce to become eligible for placement in state liquor outlets.
He and wife Lori, both geotechnical engineers, began making fruit wines as a hobby 15 years ago. Their first was from a bumper crop of Bing cherries from trees in the front yard of Yahne's parents' home in Clinton. By the end of this year, the Yahnes will have a selection of 40 speciality wines. They use locally harvested honey and fruits such as red raspberries and black currants from Weeks Berries of Paradise and Cox Honeyland in Logan.
Yahne rejects the notion of moving to a less-restrictive state, even after liquor cops conducted an undercover sting to test whether he would sell a discounted bottle of wine (he didn't).
He has yet to find a lawmaker to sponsor legislation that could help small wineries, "but this is my home. I'm passionate about making wine — and I'm not going anywhere."Next Page >
U.S. wine production tops in world
Wine sales worldwide increased 2 percent in 2012 from the previous year, to a record of 360.1 million 9-liter cases, with an estimated retail value of $34.6 billion.
In the U.S., California accounted for almost two-thirds (207.7 million cases) of wine sales, with an estimated retail value of $22 billion, said wine industry consultant Jon Fredrikson of Gomberg, Fredrikson & Associates. Including exports, 2012 California wine shipments to markets worldwide reached 250.2 million cases.
"The U.S. is the largest wine market in the world with 19 consecutive years of volume growth," said Wine Institute President and CEO Robert Koch.
Wine shipments to the U.S. market have climbed by nearly 50 percent since 2001, "and it is likely that American consumption will continue to expand over the next decade as wine continues to gain traction among American adult consumers," said Fredrikson.
Chardonnay remained the most popular varietal (made primarily from a single grape variety), with a 21 percent share of volume, followed by Cabernet Sauvignon, 12 percent volume share; Merlot, 9 percent share; and Pinot Grigio/Gris, 8 percent share.
Top markets for U.S. exports were the European Union's 27-member countries, accounting for $485 million, up 1.7 percent from last year; followed by Canada, $434 million, up 14 percent; Hong Kong, $115 million, down 30 percent; Japan, $111 million, up 6 percent; China, $74 million, up 18 percent; Vietnam, $27 million, up 22 percent; Mexico, $20 million, up 4 percent; and South Korea, $16 million, up 26 percent.

"The creature behind us was apparently a monk, though his torn and dirty habit made him look like a vagabond and his face bore a resemblance to those of the monsters I had just seen on capitals. Unlike many of my brothers, I have never in my whole life been visited ny the Devil; but I believe that if he were to appear to me one day, prevented by divine decree from concelaing completely his nature even though he chose to resemble a man, he would have the very features our interlocutor presented to me at this moment. His head was hairless, not shaved in penance but as a result of the past action of some viscid eczema; the brow was so low that if he had had hair on his head it would have mingled with his eyebrows (which were thick and shaggy); the eyes were round, with tiny mobile pupils, and whether the gaze was innocent or malign I could not tell; perhaps it was both, in different moods, in flashes. The nose could not be called a nose, for it was only a bone that began between the eyes, but as it rose from the face it immediately sank again, transforming itself only into two dark holes, broad nostrils thick with hair. The mouth, joined to the nose by a scar, was wide and ill-made, stretching more to the right than to the left, and between the upper lip, nonexistent, and the lower, prominent and fleshy, there protruded, in an irregular pattern, black teeth sharp as a dog's.
The man smiled (or at least so I believed) and, holding up one finger as in admonition, he said:
'Penitenziagite! Watch out for the draco who cometh in futurum to gnaw your anima! Death is super nos! Pray the Santo Pater come to liberar nos a malo and all our sin! Ha ha, you like this negromanzia de Domini Nostri Jesu Christi! Et anco jois m'es dols e plazer m'es dolors... Cave el diabolo! Semper lying in wait for me in some angulum to snap at my heels. But Salvatore is not stupidus! Bonum monasterium, and aqui refectorium and pray to dominum nostrum. And the rest is worth merda. Amen. No?'
As this story continues, I shall have to speak again, and at length, of this creature and record his speech. I confess I find it very difficult to do so because I could not say now, as I could never understand then, what language he spoke. It was not Latin, in which the lettered men of the monastery expressed themselves, it was not the vulgar tongue of those parts, or any other I have heard. I believe I have given a faint idea of his manner of speech, reporting just now (as I remember them) the first words of his I heard. When I learned later about his adventurous life and about the various places where he had lived, putting down roots in none of them, I realized Salvatore spoke all languages, and no language. Or, rather, he had invented for himself a language which used the sinews of the languages to which he had been exposed - and once I thought that his was, not the Adamic language that a happy mankind had spoken, all united by a single tongue from the origin of the world to the Tower of Babel, or one of the languages that arose after the dire event of their division, but precisely the Babelish language of the first day after the divine chastisement, the language of primeval confusion. Nor, for that matter, could I call Salvatore's speech a language, because in every human language there are rules and every term signifies ad plastum a thing, according to a law that doesn't change, for man cannot call the dog once dog and once cat, or utter sounds to which a consensus of people has not assigned a definite meaning, as would happen if someone said the word 'blitiri'. And yet, one way or another, I did understand what Salvatore meant, and so did the others. Proof that he spoke not one, but all languages, none correctly, taking words sometimes from one and sometimes from another. I also noticed afterward that he might refer to something first in Latin and later in Provencal, and I realized that he was not so much inventing his own sentences as using the disiecta membra of other sentences, heard sometime in the past, according to the present situation and the things he wanted to say, as if he could speak of a food, for instance, only with the words of the people among whom he had eaten the food, and express his joy only with sentences that he had heard uttered by joyful people the day when he had similarly experienced joy. His speech was somehow like his face, put together with pieces from other people's faces, or like some precious reliquaries I have seen (si licet magnis componere parva, if I may link diabolic things with the divine), fabricated from the shards of other holy objects. At that moment, when I met him for the first time, Salvatore seemed to me, because of both his face and his way of speaking, a creature not unlike the hairy and hoofed hybrids I had just seen under the portal. Later I realized that the man was probably good-hearted and humorous. Later still... But we must not go ahead of out story. Particularly since, the moment he had spoken, my master questioned him with great curiosity.
'Why did you say Penitenziagite?' he asked.
'Domine frate magnificentissimo,' Salvatore answered, with a kind of bow, 'Jesus venturus est and les hommes must do penitenzia. No?'
William gave him a hard look. 'Did you come here from a convent of Minorites?'
'Non comprends.'
'I am asking if you have lived among the friars of Saint Francis; I ask if you have known the so-called apostles...'
Salvatore blenched, or, rather, his tanned and savage face turned gray. He made a deep bow, muttered through half-closed lips a 'vade retro,' devoutly blessed himself, and fled, looking back at us every now and then.
'What did you ask him?' I said to William.
He was thoughful for a moment. 'It is of no matter; I will tell you later. Let us go inside now. I want to find Ubertino.' "

The wooden parts of the chairs are great, but the cheap and flawed fabric on the seats had to be replaced. If you aware ahead of the poor quality seat fabric and are willing to replace it, then these could be the chairs for you. Good news and bad news - Bad News: two of the seat fabric components came with slits in the fabric; Good News: seat fabric components were replaced very quickly; Bad news: the fabric replacements did not have slits in them, but the fabric was flawed. Final analysis: Easy to put together chairs that have poor quality fabric on the seats.
the product and shipping were very good.. one chair back was broken and they replaced it with a new one with in a few days.
We were very pleased with the quality, the packing and instrustions to assemble were clear. The chairs were a little higher then our old ones but fit nicely under our dining table.
The chairs were a perfect match for our dark cherry table. Fabric on seats has flaws and needed to be exchanged. Exchange process was quick and easy. Customer service was efficient and courteous. However, fabric flaws existed on multiple chair seats.
These chairs are substantial and were easy to put together. I didn't have any problem with the fabric seats like other reviewers. I ordered six chairs and they all looked good when they arrived. Pretty comfortable too.
The size and quality of this set is fantastic. I would have given it an excellent rating on all except the chairs have wear showing after only a couple of months not sure why but overall very pleased,
I really love these chairs, they have a good quality and style, required some putting together but not hard to do at all, there was some damage to one chair during shipment, the issue was resolved very quickly, great Job Over Stock!!!
The chairs are "beautiful". They were very easy to assemble, and are very sturdy. The style is elegant and look gorgeous with our dinning table. I highly recommended these chairs to a friend. I am definitely giving a 5 star rating!!! Thank you, Over stock for making our beautiful custom made dinning table look even more "beautiful".
My handyman put these chairs together and they are so comfortable! As I age, I sit on my bones more and more and the cushions on the chairs are enough to lend springy support.
Purchased along with the set. We love them! These could easily sell for 3x a much. Excellent quality. We absolutely recommend.

Do you cook w/ beer?
- Passadumkeg Aug 21, 2009 05:09 PM
I'm wondering how many different ways ya'll cook w/ good ol' beer. I use beer in beer battered fish and chips, beer pot roast w/ onions and breads. And you?
I use it in chili. I have yet to make beer bread, but that's on my list, too. And though I haven't made them, I've eaten them at a bar in Amherst, Mass.--beer-battered, deep-fried Oreos!
Edit: Ohhhh! And Irish Car Bomb Cake--made with Guinness, the beer that drinks like a meal! And reuben soup!
re: bagelman01
Hey, I'm a new age sensitive guy. Both in the food and in me! Very tolerant.
I use it in stew/chili/ beer batter anything, and have been known to pour a bit into sauteed onions and peppers to serve with italian sausage.
My favorite easy beer batter is a cup of all in one pancake batter (like aunt jemima's), and a cup or so of beer.
re: Passadumkeg
Guinness ice cream is one of my favorite kinds.
re: danieljdwyer
Where do you get it?
re: Passadumkeg
I make it, but sometimes I am tempted to just make a Guinness float with store bought ice cream instead. Which makes me wish I had some Guinness in the fridge right now.
re: danieljdwyer
Is the recipe something you developed, or can it be found somewhere? I ask because I'm curious if it's purely Guinness or if there's chocolate or any other complementary flavor involved.
re: kattyeyes
I saw Emeril do it. Here's his recipe, which I've never actually followed:
I just use my basic ice cream recipe, which is the basic one that came with my ice cream maker with various alterations I've made over the years, and then add the Guinness reduction in the proportions he uses. Make sure to use Guinness Extra Stout; the kind in the can or in the widget bottles has too subtle a flavor to stand up to dairy.
I've tried it a bunch of different ways, and even the Extra Stout just doesn't stand up to chocolate or coffee in the ice cream. A syrup of either does pair well. It also works well with caramel or butterscotch sauce, but my favorite addition is a syrup made from Irish Mist and a little dark chocolate. Hazlenut is another complementary flavor, and warm spices also work really well, particularly cinnamon and cloves.
re: danieljdwyer
All of these recipes that call for Guinness Extra Stout could most likely be improved by substituting a fuller-flavored, but not crazily so, oatmeal stout, such as Ipswitch (by Mercury Brewing Co.). Sadly, the Guinness has lost its zip off of the old fastball these days.
re: danieljdwyer
Cool, man--thanks! :)
re: danieljdwyer
Now that his show on the Green Network (?) -- Emeril Green -- is in HD, I have caught it a few times. He had a very good episode on cooking with beer.
My go-to batter for fish and shrimp stateside is Bass Ale, fine ground corn meal, and chipotle powder. In Mexico it's Negro Modelo, corn flour, and chiles de arbol in the molcajete.
I think you will hear from Johnsonville brat fans in the north-central states on this one.
re: alanbarnes
Dammit, Alan, it's like the tunafish cans, yes? jk, jk!
Let's not forget beer cheese soup. My reuben soup is a variation on it, but straight up beer cheese soup is mighty tasty. As is Irish Car Bomb Cake. Slainte!
re: Cameraman
Beer can chicken is definitely one of my favorites- I also throw some fresh rosemary and other herbs I have on hand.
re: xena1441
You know, I'm not a great griller, but I'm learning. Gotta try it.
re: Kelli2006
It takes me about 1 bottle per gallon of kraut (kapusta). Hic.
re: Scargod
A Guiness burger?
re: Scargod
I saw a television show once on a place called Sunset Tavern or Grill located somewhere outside of Boston, I do not exactly recall.....the restaurant featured many beers and the chef of the restaurant utilized many of them incorporated into his menu. I remember he made Short Ribs braised in beer.....It looked so good I tried the recipe and it was indeed very stellar. As a result, I have also incorporated beer as a braising liquid for beef and pork for a change of pace.....and it's cheaper than wine.
re: fourunder
It rings a bell.
re: fourunder
I found a tasty short rib recipe that uses Guinness.
re: nvcook
Guinnes? Irish mother's milk? Yum.
re: im_nomad
That cheese dip sounds yummy. Maybe it's time to start a parallel track over on Home Cooking to capture some of these recipes. If I kick it off, will all you beer lovers please join me?
Cheers, Passa!
re: kattyeyes
the cheese dip recipe is already posted on here somewhere, it's called "big bowl cheese dip"
I do a shrimp boil with beer, lemon juice, mustard seed, garlic cloves, and a big hit of cayenne pepper.
I also make a version of carnitas - pork chunks cooked slowly in a mixture of beer and orange juice, then reduced down. It's one of those things that smells so good while cooking that you tend to "taste" it way down.
I use dark beer when I make Flemish beef stew/carbonnade. Recently, I also ate (but didn't make) a delicious Hoegaarden beer ice cream at a Belgian restaurant. :)
re: CookieWeasel
I can't wait for brekkie tomorrow.
I cook with beer a lot, and will sometimes use it any dish which needs liquid added.
I mostly end up putting it in braises, sauces, and beans, but I recently discovered that a yeasty beer mixed up with miso makes an incredible poaching liquid for any white fish with aromatic vegetables.
Reduced, any beer that is not bitter works great with a whole variety of desserts. Imperial stout/porter is pretty much the ultimate dessert beer. The sugars in them caramelize well, so they make a nice thick syrup that's great on anything from ice cream to apple pie. Even though they're one of the more full flavored beers, they work great for poaching pears without masking the pear flavor.
I eat vegan for about two months of the year. I find that many beers make a great substitute for chicken stock during this period (or when I just run out of chicken stock at other points in the year). Onion soup made with a malty ale and miso almost makes me not miss meat. Almost.
re: danieljdwyer
The beer poached fish sounds great.
Does baking count? Before I went gluten free, I made a really kick*ss chocolate Guinness cake. With cream cheese frosting or a ganache, it rocked.
I also used to love that famous brisket recipe that made it into the Gourmet cookbook-- it's on Epicurious. You braise the brisket in beer with onions, bay leaves and ??, and let it sit in the liquid for a day or two before you eat it. Such divine comfort food.
I like to make arroz con pollo with a bitter or lager. I can't remember the Spanish, but I think Alton Brown had a good recipe, maybe Cuban influenced... I can't find the recipe online, so maybe I've got the source wrong? At any rate, it's even more delicious with beer.
One time I made the mistake of using Blue Moon to make a chicken stew of some sort. The stew reeked of what I can only describe as overpowering artificial orange, gross. A girlfriend had told me how much she enjoyed it, and it was the most revolting concoction I'd ever had. I seriously reconsidered any food or drink recommendation from her at that point on. Just a whiff of that stuff makes me gag now!
re: amyzan
I make an arroz con pollo diablo, I'll try a lager next time.
I very often use it as the braising liquid for stews.
My favorite thing though is a pork chop or a thickly sliced pork butt, well seared, and then braised in beer with a healthy dose of Hungarian paprika, a little finely chopped onion and freshly ground black pepper...braised until the liquid is just about all gone. So tender and so tasty and glazed with the evaporated juices and the paprika essence. The end result is great between two slices of good rye bread too.
re: The Professor
I do a pork chop, cabbage, apple, and beer braise.
Chili and lots of beer stews in the winter, and I bake with Guinness a lot. Gingerbread and chocolate-Guinness cupcakes! mmm!
I poach chicken in beer, and then pull it for chicken tacos. Normally for that Ill use a light beer- such as corona- with sauteed cilantro and red onions in the mix as well. Gives chicken a great flavor.
I always add a bottle of beer to meatloaf as well, and Ill often make a beer tomato sauce to go over meatloaf as opposed to ketchup
I use beer in the following dishes:
Beer batter for fish and veggies
Simmering bratwurst before grilling
A venison and root veggie stew with stout
Beer bread from Tastefully Simple (I know, I know, it's a mix but I think they put crack cocaine in it because we are addicted.)
Chicken-on-a-beer-can on the grill.
I'm not a big fan of beer-flavored food, but in the mid-70s I went to visit an old roommate on the Kenai peninsula, and she took me to this dreary old Denny's-type-'60s-decorated restaurant and ordered us some beer-battered king crab legs. Being from Arizona, I thought that beer-battering king crab legs was akin to dragging them down the street behind your car before you chow down, so starved for the taste was I. Well, those crab legs were perfectly cooked, and the best damn thing I'd had in ages, maybe ever. There were six big foot-long strips of them. Back in those days, any seafood that I could get in Arizona was to be as unadorned as possible. I had to go to seafood central to be able to appreciate beer-battered crab legs.
We went back twice the week I was there, and ate half for dinner and ate the rest for breakfast the next day. Life was good that week!
Since then I have appreciated beer-batter foods from time to time, but being not a big beer fan I don't' seek it out. Those crab legs, though, were something I'll never forget, they were that good.
I have a mexican bean recipe called Drunken Beans that I make from one of my cookbooks - has a bottle of Negro Modelo in it. Fabulous!
re: Popkin
Good, me too.
re: Passadumkeg
I used to do a fajita dish with beer in it till I accidentally served it to a friend who was Muslim (I knew but spaced on the no-alcohol rule). He was very gracious and said there was a "bye" if you didn't know you were imbibing but I just couldn't bring myself to make it again after that :-).

Before & After: Amber's 2-For-1 Home Office Makeover
Amber's home office began as a stylish space with plenty of potential. But the home office was hampered by clutter, with an excess of furnishing in a fairly tight space. By simplifying, editing, and replacing two for one desks, her home office was transformed into a work area with plenty of space for two.
Amber already started off with an attractive focal point: a DIY inspiration board. By replacing the two desks with a single continuous surface, the expanse of the bulletin board is mirrored beneath, adding a cohesive visual impression, while also maximizing her work area so much, she was able to fit an additional chair for a side-by-side layout.
You can get this look too! A Jonathan Adler lacquer hexagon trays accompanied by a lacquer home office set can give a place for everything in stylish fashion, while an affordable IKEA NUMERÄR kitchen countertop placed on top of filing cabinets can be as effective as any traditional desk (and a lot more affordable). The proof is in Amber's photos...a space now as inspiring as any of the elements tacked onto her inspiration board!
Also be sure to check out Amber's Amazine One Week Studio Makeover.

Perfect timing, was just off to Ikea this weekend to by the countertop for my office desk.Good to know I'm not the only one using it like this.
LOVE this! A great "all grown up" look with tons of personality!
Very nice! Sleek and beautiful.
Love the workspace, I'm a fan of long table type desks, where you can stretch all your stuff. And the board, everything close. However, I am personally getting sick of so much chevron... But everything looks great, Congratulations.
It wouldn't be an AT post without one snarky comment. There is literally nothing bad you can say about this office, but Marcela Z above is "sick of so much chevron."
I agree with the comment about the chevrons. I'd replace the curtains with a simple rolled bamboo blind. I'd also add a rush mat on the floor.

Mexican Singer Julieta Venegas Gives American Audiences a Taste of Latin Rock
Mexican Singer Julieta Venegas Gives American Audiences a Taste of Latin Rock
With five Latin Grammys and one Grammy under her belt, Mexican singer Julieta Venegas is considered one of the most accomplished artists in the Latin music sphere, and her ever-evolving sound proves that this presence isn't going to fade anytime soon. Playing multiple instruments and winning crowds over with the depth and intimacy of her music, Venegas poses a triple threat as a singer, songwriter and producer.
Raised in Tijuana, Baja California, Venegas began studying music at a young age, and quickly developed a distinctive style that set her apart from other Latin rock acts of the time. It was this unique style that made her a pioneer for a new wave of alternative Latina artists such as Natalia Lafourcade, Ximena Sariñana and Carla Morrison.
Venegas initially established herself in the Latin rock scene during the late '90s with the release of her debut solo album "Aquí" (Here.) Over the years she proved to be a versatile musician, spanning from full-fledged rock en español to folk to approachable pop-rock beats. Additionally, Venegas made a name for herself as a collaborator, performing with other big name Latin artists such as Paulina Rubio and Miguel Bosé.
With her music, Venegas finds a way to balance critical acclaim along with commercial success; she takes the stage with her signature accordion and captivates audiences as she moves fluidly from that to the keyboard, and then the guitar. There's a sincerity and ease to the way she performs that make it easy to understand why fans have found her to be such a lovable figure. And American fans on the east coast will soon have the chance to enjoy Venegas perform in November as she finishes touring in support of her last album, "Otra Cosa" (Something Else.) She will be playing in Washington, D.C. on Nov. 9 and in New York City the next day, finally closing out in Miami Nov. 13 before returning to Mexico City.
From Venegas' debut album Aquí to her latest Otra Cosa, her music has evolved from cynical about love to upbeat and wonderful in its simplicity. Julieta Venegas is truly a one-of-a-kind Mexican singer, and with her diverse musical talent and contemplative lyrics, it's no wonder she has cultivated a loyal following throughout Mexico, the United States and the world.

Qualifying Widow/Widower
Definition of 'Qualifying Widow/Widower'
A federal tax filing status available to widows and widowers for two years after their spouse's death. In the year the spouse dies, the widow or widower can (but is not required to) still file as married filing jointly; he or she could then file as qualifying widow/widower for the two years after that unless he or she remarries during that period. While the surviving spouse cannot continue to claim an exemption for the deceased spouse, he or she can take the same standard deduction as a married couple filing jointly. This filing status can ease the financial sting of losing a spouse.
Investopedia explains 'Qualifying Widow/Widower'
To claim this status, the IRS also requires that the taxpayer have a child who will be claimed as a dependent, that the child live in the home with the widow/widower all year, that the widow/widower will pay over half the cost of keeping up his or her home, and that the widow/widower was eligible to file a joint return in the year the spouse died.

Life As a Puzzle
- Thursday, October 22, 2009
In his heart a man plans his course, but the Lord determines his steps (Proverbs 16:9).
Whenever I meet up with my family for a vacation, a jigsaw puzzle always seems to appear on the dining room table. We spend countless hours trying to piece together those small interlocking cardboard shapes into some wonderful picture. It really intrigues me, not so much in the act of putting the pieces together, but rather in the process and the life lessons I draw from it. (Maybe I have spent a little too much time staring at the thousands of puzzle pieces, but stick with me.)
Most people attack a puzzle by finding all of the pieces that have straight edges, forming the boundary of the puzzle and filling in the middle trying to match the picture. Many of us approach life in the same way, or at least try to. We attempt to establish the basic outline of our life and then fill in the details along the way according to the picture we have in our mind.
We desire to have a nice home, a good stable job, a spouse, a family, friends, a gratifying ministry and a relatively comfortable life—all good things in and of themselves. However, when we focus our heart, mind and effort on obtaining each of these parts individually, the tendency is to view these as "edge" pieces in our "life puzzle." As a result, they become our parameter rather than a facet.
In other words, we envision the "picture" of our life (picket fence included) and we try to make everything else fit into it (if only life was that easy). However, when we have an "edge" piece(s) missing in our life (or our picture), we can become "stuck," not seeing how other aspects and circumstances fit into our image. God operates in a whole different way.
So this is what the Sovereign LORD says: "See, I lay a stone in Zion, a tested stone, a precious cornerstone for a sure foundation; the one who trusts will never be dismayed (Isaiah 28:16).
According to Wikipedia, "The cornerstone (or foundation stone) concept is derived from the first stone set in the construction of a masonry foundation, important since all other stones will be set in reference to this stone, thus determining the position of the entire structure."
Some of us started building our lives without that sure foundation of Jesus as our cornerstone. Many of us have laid stone upon stone without a spiritual reference to determine the direction to build. We have tried to structure our life according to a picture we created in our mind or one the world has created for us.
When we accept Jesus as our Lord and Savior, he says we are a new creation, the old has gone, the new has come (2 Corinthians 5:17). We begin to rebuild on a foundation with him as our cornerstone with no parameters to limit our growth or direction. Our human mind cannot begin to fathom what the Lord has determined for us nor how he will accomplish it.
Great is our Lord and mighty in power; his understanding has no limit (Psalms 147:5).
If we claim to be Christians, true believers of Jesus Christ, he is our cornerstone on whom we build upon, for whom we live, for the purpose we are here, in the direction he guides us and who we trust. Jesus is the one who determined long ago what our life would look like, not us.
Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I set you apart (Jeremiah 1:5).
The Lord does not lay out a boundary for our life and let us neatly fill in the middle, although we may prefer it. His aspiration for us has no bounds. When we encounter an obstruction in our life, it is often not from God, but rather self-imposed. It is something we perceive or an impediment we have built. Our struggle is created by fear, unbelief, doubt, over-analyzing, poor choices, or disobedience.

I was going to consider letting you not know, but then I just went "eh to heck with it."
Here's the lay-down regarding only one faction on realms:
This *used* to be the case, and only then on PvP and RPPVP realms. Now? You can roll as many of either faction on whatever realm you want (and even send mail with heirlooms to them, at that. Heck, in the future we'll be sharing pets and maybe even mounts account-wide...)--so no, the decision is not automatically selected for you.
As for Cross-Faction chat and etc, the Pandaren are closed off from the outside world (guilds, possibly mail and messaging any non-Pandarens) until they make their faction choice at level 10. By this notion, the Pandaren will likely not have a racial-specific race they can speak in--or if they do, their dialect will be untranslatable to other Pandaren of the opposite faction. There used to be Forsaken with common speak a long time ago, and it made problems, which is why we won't be getting it now.

The Economics of Adaptation to Extreme Weather Events in Developing Countries
AbstractWithout a better understanding of the interactions between international players, households and public sector, it will be difficult for climate negotiators and donor institutions to determine the appropriate levels and modes of adaptation assistance.

Sukanya Purkayastha rose to fame with her hit number Kaisi Hai Ye Udaasi from the film Karthik Calling Karthik.
A soul-stirring duet, Sukanya feels "that was the most wonderful moment of my life, recording for Kaisi Hai Ye Udaasi". Besides that Sukanya has also lent her voice along for ad jingles, including high-profile brands like Nakshatra and Future Generali.
Right now Sukanya is busy with her TV assignments, the latest being the promo song for the upcoming serial 'Kuch Toh Log Kahenge' which will be soon aired on Sony TV. The music director is Abhishek Arora and the director of the serial is Gajraj Rao.
"Abhishek was looking for a singer who has a soulful, rustic voice and therefore approached me. It was a great experience recording the track as Abhishek gave me the freedom to not only work around the melody but also practice it to its perfection," says Sukanya, who's trying to make a mark in Bollywood.

One Direction to launch their own café
One Direction will reportedly set up a string of coffee shops filled with band memorabilia in a bid to expand their empire.
One Direction are set to launch their own café chain.
The 'Kiss You' hitmakers will reportedly provide a meeting place for crazed fans by setting up a string of coffee shops filled with band memorabilia, and the bid to expand their empire could see the first branch opening in Shibuya, Japan as early as this month.
Insiders told the Daily Star newspaper: ''The cafés will be very child friendly for younger fans and they're sure to be stocked up with lots of 1D merchandise. It could become one of the group's biggest money-spinners if it takes off. Everything linked to One Direction equates to success at the moment.''
Its thought the lucrative new business venture is highly favoured by mentor Simon Cowell, who hopes to open a second branch in London, before opening several more in New York, Paris, Berlin and Sydney.
The source added: ''This could become the lads' version of Planet Hollywood. That chain was backed by stars such as Sylvester Stallone, Bruce Willis and Arnold Schwarzenegger when it launched in 1991.''
The news come after reports that the boys - Harry Styles, 20, Niall Horan, 20, Louis Tomlinson, 22, Liam Payne, 20, and Zayn Malik, 21 - are predicted to earn £611 million this year following their 'Where We Are' stadium tour which kicks off on April 25, in Columbia.

The problem with the concept of "clean" food is that the imagery is all wrong. You're saying that other food is "dirty," but supposed "clean" foods are closer to having been dirt-encrusted plants.
I ate a salad on May 17, 2012. Evidently.
My (half) day at Rhinebeck
I really love going to the New York Sheep and Wool Festival in Rhinebeck, but I'm usually done after a few hours. Maybe if I were taking a class or in a competition or exhibiting animals, I'd put more time in, but I after I walk all of the vendor halls and pet a few sheep, I'm done.
I picked up some yarn for hats and a couple of patterns, but nothing else really spoke to me. I got a lot of excellent ideas and ate some apple crisp, and got to look at the stunning leaves in the Hudson Valley now. Oddly, I didn't run into anyone I knew outside of the llama barn.
A trip to the baby store
I went to Buy Buy Baby last week for some reason. I don't remember exactly what that reason was: maybe I wanted to price out baby socks. Once inside, I found things that intrigued and confused me.
Gotta start the misandry training early. Joking about unrealistically low expectations for dads is a great place to start. Ha ha! Men don't understand where poop comes out!
I can't help but feel like I've seen this product somewhere else, intended for use on a different species.
I would attach one of these holders to my toddler leash.

Murdo gym to be named after Thune's father Harold
Argus Leader sports editor Stu Whitney has news at the intersection of sports and politics: the gym in the town of Murdo will on Friday be renamed the Harold Thune Auditorium.
Harold Thune, of course, is the nonagenarian father of South Dakota's Sen. John Thune.
Murdo has been Harold Thune's home since 1930, when he was 11 years old. He was a basketball standout at Murdo, and cultivated a love of the sport in his son John, who was also a hoops star in Murdo.
After school, Harold Thune served as a fighter pilot in World War II, and later served as a football and basketball coach in Murdo.
He's now 93 years old.

An Ecuadoran family restaurant during the week, Barzola turns into a lively party venue on the weekends, with dancing and karaoke until 4am. It's a vast space embellished with wood beams and amphorae, plus a bar specializing in rum drinks. This section of Jackson Heights has a large, active Ecuadoran population, which has kept Barzola in business there since 2005 (the restaurant spent 23 years in Brooklyn prior to that). There is also a branch in Miami. Few of the staff speak English, and the food is authentic—ceviches, humitas (steamed fresh corn cakes), daily soup specials (such as seafood, sausage or cow's foot), seafood casseroles, fried steaks and goat stew. Expect green plantain dumplings (bolón) with cheese, steak or fried pork at breakfast.

Force of Evil
Formed: 2002
From: Copenhagen, Denmark
Last Known Status: Active
Latest Force of Evil News
Below is our complete Force of Evil news coverage, including columns and articles pertaining to the band. Some articles listed may be indirectly related, such as side projects of the band members, etc.
Note: We began associating news directly with bands in late 2003. Therefore, earlier band news may not be listed on this page.
Force Of Evil Goes On Hiatus
FORCE OF EVIL, the Danish band featuring guitarist Michael Denner (ex-MERCYFUL FATE), guitarist Hank Shermann (MERCYFUL FATE), bassist Hal Patino (KING DIAMOND), drummer Bjarne Holm (MERCYFUL FATE), and vocalist Martin Steene (ex-IRONFIRE), has issued the following update:
"Good news for vinyl collectors: 'Black Empire' [originally released in 2005] is now available in a vinyl gatefold version. Only 500 copies made. The vinyl version of 'Black Empire' is now available from eBay.
"Other updates: The band is hibernating right now, and at this point we can't give more specifics about the bands future. All members are and have been quite busy with other things during the past years. Michael Denner has been recording guitars on a progressive rock album called 'Taylor's Universe With Michael Denner'. Martin Steene is active with recordings for a new IRON FIRE album as well as a new album with NIGHTLIGHT. Hal Patino is assisting his son Jackie Patino in getting his band MARY ANN COTTON established. Hal is also playing bass in the new heavy metal band DISASTERPIECE featuring members from KING DIAMOND and CRIMSON GLORY. Bjarne T. Holm is always on the go playing the drums for different bands in Copenhagen. And this spring Hank is launching his solo output called Hank Shermann's DEMONICA. The style is raw thrash and metal."
Force Of Evil Post New Album Artwork Online
Denmark's Force of Evil have posted the cover artwork for their upcoming second album, entitled "Black Empire", online here.
Force of Evil features vocalist Martin Steene (ex-Ironfire), guitarist Michael Denner (ex-Mercyful Fate), guitarist Hank Shermann (Mercyful Fate), bassist Hal Patino (King Diamond), and drummer Bjarne Holm (Mercyful Fate).
"Black Empire" is scheduled to be released in Europe on March 21, and on March 29 in the U.S. through Escapi.
Dream Theater Confirmed For Sweden Rock Festival
Sweden Rock Festival will take place on June 9 to 11, 2005 in Sölvesborg, Sweden. The progressive metal band Dream Theater have just been confirmed for the festival. Other confirmed band are as follows:
Swedish bands: Morgana Lefay, Satanic Slauter, Symphorce, Crystal Eyes, Yngwie Malmsteen, Candlemass, Hammerfall, Therion, Hellfueled, Statetrooper, A.C.T, Thryfing
Foreign bands: Mötley Crüe (US), Accept (D), DIO (UK), Saxon (UK), Kansas (US), Styx (US), Blackfoot (US), Magnum (UK), Sebastian Bach (US), Helix (CAN), Vixen (US), Sonata Arctica (FIN), Robin Trower (US), Nazareth (UK), Shakra (CH), Force Of Evil (DK)
Force Of Evil Guitarist Talks About Influences
In an interview with Electricbasement.com, FORCE OF EVIL guitarist HANK SHERMANN downplays his other band's influence on black metal, "I don't see us [MERCYFUL FATE] as being originators in the genre really, other than regarding King's [KING DIAMOND] lyrics and stage presence. Musically we were inspired by other bands such as Judas Priest. I think it's really King Diamond's lyrics and stage presence that has inspired a lot of Black Metal bands, plus our songs have a lot of cool atmospheres that maybe a lot of bands like to imitate."
Regarding his own influences, he had high praise for MICHAEL SCHENKER's "timing and tone", but was disappointed when seeing him live, "...I did have the privilege of seeing him with Uli Roth and [Joe] Satriani on the G3 tour. I believe it was in Copenhagen. For me it was seeing Uli Roth as he was very professional, a serious performer, Schenker was in pretty bad shape, and he couldn't even perform. He had to sit down, it was a load of crap. I know {Mercyful Fate, Force of Evil guitarist] Michael Denner saw him in 1975 in UFO around the time of Force It . He thought it was amazing."

Candlemass Post Report from the Road
Swedish doom masters Candlemass have posted the following report from their Nov. 29 Stockholm gig with Ttouble and Force of Evil:
"Both Trouble and Force of Evil arrived to Stockholm on the Friday.
