I know cast ductile iron is supposed to be closer to steel in its characteristics than to cast gray iron, but please forgive me if I remain skeptical. My ductile iron holdfasts, purchased from Woodcraft, are worthless. They have no spring in them. |

I have these for about 1/3 the price and they work great. I'm anxious to see how much better the LN's are. -- This is a Troll Free zone. |

I looked at these and almost ordered a pair, but they require a very thick bench top (2 3/4" – 4"). My bench is only 1 1/2" thick. I know I could add reinforcement around the dog holes, but if I were going to do that, I'd just build a new bench, and I'm not really interested in doing that just for these holdfasts. Post a review when you get a chance to try them out. |

I have the Gramercy ones (pictured above by DVK) and love them. That said, I'd be curious to know how well the LN ones work. They definitely have a bit more style than the Gramercy ones. -- "hold fast to that which is good" |

"ductile cast iron" + smacking with a mallet = me not impressed… I'm sure they did their tests on those to make sure they work fine, but to me that combination at that price range is unnecessary. I have the same FORGED set like DKV posted above for a smiggen of the LN price tag that I don't think can be beat. -- ㊍ When in doubt - There is no doubt - Go the safer route. |

crank49, DKV, Brandon W, PurpLev: I am no expert, and you are all probably right, but I have never been disappointed with any Lie-Nielsen product. I have a considerable collection of their tools (and like to think I know how to use them), so I guess I am willing to purchase these based on brand loyalty alone. We will see… Steven |
#8 posted 02-01-2013 09:07 PM |
Steven, They do look elegant, and it coming from a house name like LN I have to assume they are well made and should perform just like you'd expect any LN item to perform. My comment was more personal. let us know how you like them. -- ㊍ When in doubt - There is no doubt - Go the safer route. |

This is not easy to understand lot's of people make these I have the record with the iron built in brackets and adjustable from above with a screw.I see you are saying because lie neilson make these now they might somehow be superior,Maybe they will be it is worth seeing what others think although I find both they and veritas overpriced for their stuff my 2 cents worth.

I have the forged ones from Woodcraft and they only hold well with w leather pad on the gripper foot. But, for me they'll do till I get better at handtooling. Thanks for the LN and Gramercy tools. I'll step up some day. -- Russell Pitner Hixson, TN 37343 email@example.com |

SCOTSMAN: I am not saying that they are (or will be) superior, I was simply stating that my reason for purchasing them was based on my brand loyalty. I have yet to go wrong with a Lie-Nielsen product, I will be sure to let you know if this turns out to be the first. Everyone: I cannot argue the merit of this product, I have not used them (or any holdfast for that matter). I posted this thread to let people know that Lie-Nielsen is now making holdfasts… |
#14 posted 02-01-2013 09:51 PM |
My Point is they should be far superior at those prices don't you agree.Their stuff is well made but they don't come cheap.Maybe that's a good thing I just don't know.I do however understand where your coming from and I wish you many years of happy useage as long as you are happy what can I or anyone else say? . -- excuse my typing as I have a form of parkinsons disease |
#15 posted 02-01-2013 10:14 PM |
I have some of the cheap cast ones, they in no way compare to the forged ones. But I made them useable by filing 1\16 grooves in them. (think F-clamps) -- My favorite projects were firewood bound |

How to use the PicFame & Instagram apps to make collages on your iPhone
27 comments:
I'm still working with my blackberry. I love it because my kids have blackberries too and I am able to text them for free from China, India, or wherever I am travelling.
I still worry that it's like raising kids via blackberry. It still remains to be seen if it's possible to raise a great teenager with this parenting method :)Thank you sooo much for posting about PicFrame!! My friends have been using this and I see photo collages on blogs but I have been too shy to ask how the heck they do it! You have read my mind and are so kind to share with us!!! Thank you!! Happy Halloween to you and your adorable gals! I hope they get lots of treats tonight!! <3
ReplyDeleteTHANKS so much for explaining so well how to make collages on my iphone. I'm totally addicted to Instagram & Camera+ but hadn't heard of PicFrame yet. Buying it as soon as I finish typing this!
One question that I have been trying to figure out for awhile though. Have you figured out a way to order your Instagram, etc. prints at a retailer (I usually order from Walgreens or Target)? I've tried ordering both the 4x6 print and the true digital print size (4 x 5.3)and they both cut off parts of the picture. I know the Instagram pics will have extra white space (easily trimmed off) but haven't figured out how to order them so part of the pic isn't cut off.
Thanks again for all of your amazing inspiration!Hey! Thanks so much for blogging all these things all the time. I loved the party you threw and was wondering where you go the can lids for drinking, that was the best!
If I can be entered into the free gift, I would love just about ANYTHING from the we love citrus site, I'm already making an order now. I think my favorite thing would be the the hemp twine, or the jar lids with slats!
Thank you for taking the time to leave your thoughts and comments. We truly love and appreciate each one!

Would you like to save as your currency permanently or for this visit only?
Great front desk staff,(especially Christopher). Great walking location, such as, sight seeing around downtown, restaurants, shopping areas, and taxies was right there for your quick convenience, and even the city bus. Great breakfast every morning. I loved the place and look forward to returning soon. The beds was a little hard, however it didn't stop me from sleeping.
This hotel has everything you need and is located in the middle of san Jose with easy access to transportation and all the downtown museums.
I love the location. The breakfast in the morning was fantastic. And the room was very clean. Our room didn't have a window. Just a glass door leading to a shaft.
Staff was friendly and easy to work with. Included breakfast was very good. Room felt old and dirty. Bed was very uncomfortable. There was no hot water in the shower. Very disappointed with this place.
The hotel is pretty central to everything. The staff is helpful. The room wa clean.
I liked he location. The fact that you could hear a conversation four rooms away.
Proximity to everything. Warm water. Decent internet. Good quality sheets and comforter. Bed was hard. TV did not work well. No microwave. Thin walls so you can hear everything. No washcloths provided. Bottom entrance closes too early.
Very good hotel + friendly staff + spacious rooms + comfortable beds + great location + free breakfast = awesome
Everything was fine. Great restaurant.
I stayed for 9 days the room I was in had BED BUGS I conplained several times at the office, i will not come back again.
Good Hotel for the location of C.R. downtown area Hotel offers food service 24hrs, clean rooms, very quit for sleeping, good breakfast encluded, parking available and security 24hrs.
Security and breakfast Charge for guests or company that's outraging
Clean, friendly, secure entry, free breakfast/wifi/computer, not too far from everything, helpful. Near train track, but only runs Mon-Fri.
When we showed up at 2:30 in the afternoon we were astonished to discover that they had given our room away even though we had paid a week in advance. They did however pay for and take us to Hotel 1492 which met our needs and was in a better neighborhood.
no ventilation or fans that cool the rooms down well enough to sleep
great staff, very helpful informative, Thanks Raul
Friendly helpful staff in front, especially David. Convenient location in San Jose. Good breakfast from a choice of three. Comfortable room for the price. The owner Tomas was very nice and helpful. Our safe in our room was problematic as it didn't always function. However, on a positive note they did fix it. Computer was older and rather slow though the latter may be more of an issue with the server in the area.
Well run, very clean convenient and friendly place to stay in the center of old city. Owner, Thomas, is very friendly, accommodating and helpful. Rooms are spacious with modern conveniences. Staff is friendly and helpful. Great breakfast is included in AM. Prefer for breakfast start at 6 vs 7am. Most of our tours started around 6.30 and we missed breakfast. Would prefer a larger size pool.
I fish in costa rica every year. I always stay here when I arrive / leave. folks are very helpful / friendly. close to things I value. on your own, taxis can be a problem - they take care of that too. I don't use the packages they have for "things to do," but I'm certain that they are excellent value for money. highly recommended!
The guest policy and the location. Mini bar was empty when I arrived and I had to argue to make sure I was not then charged for it all. Room was WAY too hot and the windows don't stay open. Very, very noisy.
nothing total scumbags paid for a deluxe room and I check in to a terrible room mind you hotel is empty went to front desk and asked to see a regular room and guess what regular and deluxe are the exact rooms saw the gringo and tried to get over demanded a refund or the right room was given a refund and was treated like I did something wrong total rip off
Staff was very helpful, polite. Good food. Room was clean. The room i had #14 was too dark, no windows, very dreary, could not sleep well, very noisy. I could hear everyone walking up and down the stairs.
very very clean great security friendly staff can't say enough a hidden gem for sure maid service a lil loud but ear plugs are provided !!!
I hadn't stayed at the Del Rey for 12 years. The place was still great, perhaps even better.
Location, location, location, walk to many sights. There are many beautiful women, personally speaking I like being around beautiful girls and no one is putting a gun to you to do anything more than have a drink with them. It is what it is.Never boring ! Nothing. No complaints. Great hotel, great value.
These people told me that they never got the payment or reservation from kayak.com. They treated me like i hadnt paid for the room. Thw next day when i was about to check out they locked me in. They wouldnt unlock the doors. It was a horrible experience.
Small rooms with no windows. Very little lighting, and a lot of the bulbs were burnt out. Water in the bathroom ran constantly. Uncomfortable beds with terrible pillows. I travel to San Jose frequently, and I will never stay in that hotel again.
Location is great No chica fe Breakfast is good Price is great Staff is very helpful Good drink special on Friday night lots of locals Noise from street is very loud I would get inside room with no widows AC is not the best Rooms have not been updated since the 80s But if want a cheap place and great location this is a good choice
Front desk staff was nice and friendly. Room did not match photos at all. AC did not adjust so it was either freezing or hot. Lamps didn't work. No window in the room. Whole hotel hasn't been updated in over 20 years at least. Water from the shower shot everywhere but where it was supposed to. Sheets were stained. Not a good experience at all.
Location, price, food, staff I think they discontinued the good cheap drinks unless you are playing

geek chic
This is probably one of the five times I've ever worn lipstick. Actually, five might be too generous.
Statement Necklace: Banana Republic
Crochet Tank, Blazer: Anthropologie
((similar tank found here))
Oversized Clutch: tutorial here
Watch: Fossil
Skinny Jeans: Paige Denim
flats: Kimchi Blue ((similar ones here))
I'm not sure I'll ever get over the "geek chic" look. The whole borrowed from the boys idea can be done with such a classic & ((yet still)) feminine feel. This outfit needed a little spot of color & I'd say this clutch did the trick, no?

British newspaper The Guardian has a look at our favorite web series, The Guild, and how it has taken the MMO community by storm and vaulted its way up into one of the most popular television series that's not actually on television. There's no question that The Guild's popularity online was fueled by the fact that it follows a group of people who spend most of their time online, and with a built-in audience the size of World of Warcraft's, you might think that all they had to do was get the references right.
But as The Guardian notes, success for The Guild isn't just a matter of hitting a niche audience. Felicia Day and Kim Evey say they spent eight hours a day emailing the show around when it first came out. And while the show is of course sponsored by Microsoft now, the whole first season was powered by hard work and donations. The Guardian attributes The Guild's success to "direct marketing of content to a niche peer group" -- find an audience, and then make sure they know what you're doing.
And of course, as a Guardian commenter notes, it doesn't hurt that the show is funny, and as Felicia told us herself, they've gone out of their way to explain and convey the WoW-related stuff to an audience that might not always play MMOs. The series is attracting a lot of attention these days, not just as an MMO story, but also a how-to guide of how to get a television series off the ground without actually being on broadcast television.

Serves six to eight.
We like to use new potatoes when possible, especially red-skinned varieties. For a fresh-tasting vegetarian meal, serve this over steamed couscous, topped with a dab of yogurt, chopped fresh cilantro, and a wedge of lemon.
Heat a very large skillet or a Dutch oven over medium-high heat and coat it with about 3 Tbs. of the olive oil; reserve the rest for the sauce. Add the potatoes and sauté until they start to brown a bit around the edges, about 10 minutes. Raise the heat to high and add the eggplant, peppers, chile, tomatoes, and onion. Season with a little salt. Continue to sauté a few more minutes. Add about 1/4 cup water, cover the pan, and turn down the heat to a vigorous simmer. Braise until all the vegetables are tender when poked with a knife, especially the potatoes and eggplant, 15 to 25 minutes. During braising, be sure to stir and scoop the vegetables so they don't stick to the pan.
Meanwhile, make the sauce. Using a mortar and pestle or a food processor, smash or purée the garlic with 1/2 tsp. salt, the paprika, cumin, and cayenne to make a smooth paste. Add the parsley and cilantro and pound or process just until they're crushed—don't completely purée them. Add the lemon juice and the remaining olive oil.
If any liquid remains in the pan when the vegetables are cooked, remove the cover, turn up the heat, and boil it off. Then turn off the heat, add the sauce to the skillet, and stir to coat all the vegetables. Taste for seasoning and add more salt, lemon, or cayenne to taste. Serve hot.

new sketch card company, Viceroy Cards
I've been reading about a new sketch card company, Viceroy Cards, over on the Scoundrel Art message board. They are coming out with their first set next month, and it looks very interesting.
The sketch cards are made of an extra thick 72 pt. illustration board, and are printed on the back using a letterpress. So they have a premium, upscale look. Plus, they will come already packed in a magnetic holder which I think is a nice touch. The artist list looks great, there are only 34 artists, including several big names, so there are pretty good odds of hitting something nice: Adam Geyer Amber Shelton Autumn Frederickson Beck Seashols Bruce Gerlach Charles Hall Chris Manuel Chris Thorne Daniel Gorman Dimitris Moore Eric White François Chartier Fredd Gorham Gary Kezele Grant Gould J Linares James Bukauskas Jason Keith Phillips Jay Durden Joseph Miller Joshua Werner Juan Antonio Fontanez Jr. Katie Cook Lynne Anderson Michael Munshaw Mike Vasquez Mikey Babinski Rhiannon Owens Rusty Gilligan Scott Smith Scott Zambelli Stephanie Swanger Tim Proctor Vanessa Farano I've been talking to Ryan, one of the founders of the company, and it sounds like they have some cool things planned for the future. They are also interested in hearing from collectors, to see what we like most about sketch card sets, and for new ideas. For example, they have an idea for having tobacco size sketch cards inserted in packs as an extra hit, where it could either be a standalone mini sketch, or could be used as part of a puzzle along with the regular sized sketch card. So if you have any ideas, feel free to post them, and I will pass them along, or I am sure Ryan will answer any questions in this thread. Here's a link to the thread over on Scoundrel Art, which includes some sample sketches: Scoundrel Art Community View forum - Viceroy Card Co. *edited the link since Scoundrel Art updated their website and made a section for Viceroy Cards* Last edited by aggie4ever; 09-08-2012 at 01:33 PM. |

We considered placing a seal on the magnetic holders, similar to Razor Archive or Topps Retired as examples. After getting feedback from both non-sport and sketch collectors, we determined that most collectors really enjoy looking at the detail of the artwork on sketch cards. We didn't want to make the collector choose between breaking the seal to view their sketch, or leaving it sealed and not being able to enjoy the artwork as much as they'd like.
We believe we have found a cool solution for this, but you'll have to wait until we show the final packaging to find out. |

With 500 packs and around 50 crytid's named on the list does this mean there will be no more than 10 of each creature made or maybe more than 10 or some creatures and less of others? Last edited by Portlaw; 08-08-2012 at 08:54 AM. |

That being said, we believe most creatures will be represented in the set, along with a few others that may not have been named in that initial list. Along with individual artist sketch counts, we'll also release a 'creature count' list. Collectors will be able to see the rarity of creatures out of the total 500 sketched. We believe some of the more obscure creatures may have only a few sketches in the entire set, making them all the more exciting to pull from a pack! The artist and creature counts will be released once all sketches have been returned from the artists, before we randomized and place them in packs.

Fancy hot-footing it to a festival this year? Well here are our suggestions of the best ones around - no matter what you're into, we've got your back. You. Are. Welcome.
Best festival for fans of staying incognito
Masked Ball
When: 20 – 22 May
Where: Porthleven, Cornwall
Line-up: 2ManyDJs, Groove Armada, Basement Jaxx, plus many more
What a great idea for a festival. Everyone wears masks so it doesn't matter how much of a hungover mess you look by Sunday! Plus, it takes place in a coastal guesthouse, so you can pretend to be all posh and aristocrat-y. Even though you just ate cold baked beans behind a Portaloo…
Here's some more info on Masked Ball.
Best festival for people who get seasick
Common People
When: 28 – 29 May
Where: South Park, Oxford and Southampton Common, Southampton Common
Line-up: Duran Duran, Primal Scream, Katy B, Chas & Dave (erm, incredible…), Public Enemy, plus many more.
Ever wished you could get stuck into Bestival, but you can't make it to the Isle Of Wight without spewing up on the ferry over there? Well, panic not, friends! Rob Da Bank – the mastermind behind Bestival – has come up with a new no-camping festival on the British mainland, featuring big Bestival headliners, and there's no need to find your sea-legs!
Here's some more info on Common People.
Best festival for people who want to escape (and smoothie drinkers…)
Innocent Unplugged
When: 28 – 29 May
Where: Secret location, Kent
Line-up: DJ Yoda, Mr Motivator (dreamy!), Lucy Rose, plus many more.
Last year smoothie giants Innocent put on a festival with no wifi, no mobile phones and no electricity (it was all solar or man-powered), which was perfect for people looking to get away from their everyday lives. And they're doing it again this year! So leave your phone at home, pack your leotard and get ready to dance the night away with Mr Motivator.
Here's some more info on Innocent Unplugged.
Best festival for those who love sequins
Lost Village
When: 27-29 May
Where: Lincolnshire
Line-up: Fatboy Slim, Jack Garrat, Bondax, Eats Everything, plus many more.
If you're in desperate need of escaping to a forest with nothing more than some sequins, a tent and a pair of wellies to keep you company, then you're in luck. Lost Village festival hits Lincolnshire on bank holiday weekend in May - so get ready to pull your best shapes, get lots amongst the trees and shimmy your way through the night.
Here's some more info on Lost Village.
Best festival for goths and grungers
When: 10 – 12 June
Where: Donnington Park, Donnington
Line-up: Rammstein, Black Sabbath, Iron Maiden, plus many more.
For those of you who get your kicks from headbanging and donning KISS make-up, Download is the festival for you.

Best festival for Irn Bru drinkers
T In The Park
When: 8 – 9 July
Where: Strathallan Castle, Perthshire, Scotland
Line-up: The Stone Roses, The 1975, Disclosure, and many more.
If there's one thing T In The Park does well it's boozing and partying. The booze of choice is vodka and Irn Bru, and the party of choice is hard. You have to party hard. But you love all that, right? Plus, Stone Roses will be leading this year's line-up, so you'd be crazy not to get involved.
Here's some more info on T In The Park.
Best festival for families
When: 14 – 17 July
Where: Henham Park, Southwold, Suffolk
Line-up: The Maccabees, New Order, The National, plus many more.
Latitude is the perfect place to take the kids for their first festival experience. The vibe is relaxed, there aren't too many crazy partygoers around, and there are tons for little ones to do. Plus all the sheep are dyed funky colours, and what kid/adult wouldn't be interested in that?
Here's some more info on Latitude.
Best festival for fans of just one hangover per festival
When: 17 JulyWhere: Victoria Park, London
Line-up: Sigur Ros, Lianne La Havas, Beardyman, plus many more.
If you're a fan of keeping your festival hangovers to a minimum (and, tbh, the older we get, the more we're becoming a fan of that), you'll love London's Citadel festival. Why? Because it's only on for one day. Sweet relief.
Here's some more info on Citadel.
Best festival for those of you who do like to be beside the seaside
When: 10 – 14 August
Where: Fistral Beach and Watergate Bay, Newquay
Line-up: Craig David, Deadmau5, James Bay, plus many more.
Everybody knows that taking a dip in the British sea is the best way to get over a hangover. So some smartass came up with the idea to hold a festival on the Cornish coast... Enter Boardmasters. Don't forget your surfboard. Actually maybe a rubber ring would be safer if you're anything like us…
Here's some more info on Boardmasters.
Best festival for wilderness wanderers
Green Man
When: 18 – 21 AugustWhere: Brecon Beacons, WalesLine-up: Belle & Sebastian, James Blake, White Denim
Green Man is set in just about the most beautiful surroundings we've ever experienced at a festival. The Black Mountains aren't usually open to the public, but for one weekend only, they become an amazing backdrop for a bunch of brilliant bands and merrymakers.
Here's some more info on Green Man.
Best festival for foodies
The Big Feastival
When: 26 – 28 August
Where: Alex James' farm, The Cotswolds
Line-up: Mark Ronson, Tinnie Tempah, Kaiser Chiefs, plus many more.
You know that guy from Blur who now lives on a farm making cheese? Well, lucky for you, he's opening his home up for you to go along and stuff your face with delicious treats. As well as getting a right good feed from a whole host of celebrity chefs, you can also listen to some great bands. Thanks Alex James.
Here's some more info on The Big Feastival.
Best festival for cheap skates (like us)
When: 27 – 28 August
Where: Castle Field, Portsmouth
Line-up: Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds, Mark Ronson, Manic Street Preachers, plus many more.
If you've done a shitty job of saving up this year (or like us, every single year of your life), then this festival is for you. Tickets start at just £20, and you get bucket loads for your hard-earned cash. Victorious is a family-friendly festival by the sea. Lovely stuff.
Here's some info on Victorious.
Best festival for big hitters
Reading and Leeds
When: 26 – 28 August
Where: Richfield Avenue, Reading
Line-Up: Red Hot Chili Peppers, Foals, Eagles Of Death Metal
Reading and Leeds always nail it with the line-up. Whether your musical taste swings more towards rock or indie, there'll be a big name band for you. Plus, Reading and Leeds is always on the weekend of the August bank holiday so you don't even have to take any time off work. Hurrah!
Here's some more info on Reading and Leeds.
Best festival for youngens
When: 2 - 4 September
Where: Norfolk Showground, Norfolk
Line-Up: Chase & Status, Jason Derulo, Years & Years
With a line-up boasting the likes of Chase & Status, Becky Hill and Fleur East, Sundown is a great end-of-festival-season festival for the youngens to get stuck into before they head back to school/college/uni. Plus, with Miss Dynamite and Artful Dodger making an appearance too, us slightly more mature folk can get stuck in too!
Here's some more info on Sundown.
Best festival for Londoners (specifically, South Londoners)
When: 10 - 11 September
Where: Blackheath, South East London
Line-Up: James, Primal Scream, Hot Chip

He was appointed captain of the 17th infantry, on March 12, 1812 and his military record was excellent. In July of 1813, when Croghan was only 21 years old, General Harrison placed him in command at Fort Stephenson, Ohio, on the Sandusky River. In August the British and Indians under General Henry Proctor attacked the fort. Croghan, with only 160 men and one 6 lb. cannon, "Old Betsy", defeated them. For his famous victory Croghan was promoted to lieutenant-colonel in the Army, and Congress awarded him a gold medal in 1835. He resigned from the Service in 1817.
On January 8, 1849, he died of cholera at New Orleans. He is buried in Fremont at the Fort Stephenson location, now the site of Birchard Public Library.

At border Mass, bishops call for compassion, immigration reform
"The culture of comfort, which makes us think only of ourselves, makes us insensitive to the cries of other people."
"The culture of comfort, which makes us think only of ourselves, makes us insensitive to the cries of other people."
Bishop Michael Bransfield of Wheeling-Charleston said he was surprised at West Virginia Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin's veto of the Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act, which would have prohibited nonmedical crisis abortions after 20 weeks post-fertilization.
Tomblin vetoed the bill late Friday.
"I am very surprised by Gov. Tomblin's veto of the Pain-Capable Act," the bishop said. "For most West Virginians, this is bitter news, especially on the heels of the governor's use of his ability to veto budgeted items to cut benefits to poor children and families in West Virginia."
Pope Francis met Monday with members of the Green family, the billionaires whose company, Hobby Lobby, took their challenge to Obama's contraception mandate to the Supreme Court.
Column: While the 2016 presidential Democratic nomination risks turning into Hillary Clinton's coronation, the contest for the Republican nomination better resembles civil war.
After announcing earlier this week it would no longer define marriage as between a man and a woman in its employee conduct manual, Christian relief organization World Vision reversed course Wednesday and said it would no longer recognize the same-sex marriages of its employees.
Heavy criticism from evangelicals may have prompted the reversal. Soon after the earlier groundbreaking decision, the Assemblies of God urged members to consider dropping their support.
Editor's note: Since this story was published, World Vision has retracted its stance on same-sex marriage.
Christian relief organization World Vision has announced it will no longer define marriage as between a man and a woman in its employee conduct manual, a groundbreaking change for an evangelical institution and a reflection of the impact that gay marriage is having on religious organizations.
When two corporations -- one owned by evangelicals and one owned by Mennonites -- filed suit over the Affordable Care Act, they described their complaint in stark and fairly simple terms: The government is forcing them to either break the law or betray their faith.
But at the Supreme Court on Tuesday, nothing was so clear as the justices explored the murky territory where an employer's religious rights collide with the interests of its employees or the government.
Supreme Court justices and activists outside the courthouse alike weren't exactly shy in stating their views on the contraceptive mandate.
Analysis: When President Barack Obama and Pope Francis sit down Thursday, the meeting may offer a vision of what could have been for Democrats and the Catholic church.
Commentary: The recent legal objections to the Affordable Care Act's contraception mandate make me think of a controversy that figures repeatedly in the New Testament.

Pvt Dana, US Army
You first met her three years ago in a post that described a phone conversation she had with a boyfriend stationed north of Baghdad. During that phone call, the boyfriend's base was attacked by bad guys, the gates were breached, weapons fire and explosions were heard over the phone.
A while later, Dana joined the Air Force. She trained hard and tried her best, but because of a newly discovered health problem, the AF had to let her go. She could have called it a day and given up. She nearly did. Life got tough. In the end, Dana didn't stop, didn't give in, didn't give up.
She signed with the US Army, but she was overweight and unfit. Dana committed to losing the fat and getting in shape. Her Dad, former Navy, trained with her, they jogged and ran together, stretched and exercised together just to qualify for the Army acceptance day. When the day came, she passed without any question. At boot camp, Dana was ready for whatever the trainers could throw at her. And she succeeded.
Today, Dana is a newly minted Private, US Army. But to little Gabe, she's still Auntie Dana. To me, she is still my niece, and I love her and am very proud of her and her achievement.
And I worry for her because, before this year in out, after basic training in Texas, she will ship out to Afghanistan.
The life of Indigo Red is full of adventure. Tune in next time for the Further Adventures of Indigo Red.

She does, dcat. The first time I saw her after her AF release, I didn't recognize her. She was so tall and slender..
Thank you, suek. She's a resourceful kid.
Yes, Tom, I do know. It would be easier in peace time, but not halfas meaningful. Her mom is Indigo Rose, so she'll read your words herself. - 4/01/2009 06:14:00 PM

Tropical Fish Keeping - Aquarium fish care and resources
- Freshwater and Tropical Fish
- - fine Gravel
fine Gravel 1 Attachment(s) Is kind of Gravel Sutible for gold fish, dragon gobies , or any fish that likes to sift through substrate? I originally got it after finding my pleco's dying from sucking up sand when I had a sandy bottom. I do know that pleco's and cory's do well the this fine stuff though. Thanks in advanced for any input. |
I can't tell from your photo as I can't feel the gravel.;-) From the appearance, it might be rough. If you have substrate-sifting fish, I would go with a natural aquarium gravel, the smallest grain size (1-2 mm). White substrates are not usually good anyway, it is "bright" and fish feel uneasy over a light substrate as it is un-natural. Also, that may be calcareous, raising hardness and pH which is not always good. What species of pleco was it? Sand shuld not be a problem, as substrate fish naturally sift the sand through their gills in search of food. It might have been some other issue that killed the pleco. Byron. |
Looks like aragonite or beach sand. Might raise ph. Where did you get it? |
I bought it from pet smart. as far as the pleco's I had a bushy nose, and it died, then I tried a common and it passed away a little while later. before sansd I used gravel, with pleco's and no problem. started using this stuff with plecos and they were fine, gave one to my uncle, the other died as I think it may have lacked something in its nutrients. I don't have any fish now, but just fixed up a newly aquired 44.9 gallon tank, and have been playing around with Idea's as to what fish to keep in it. Mollies are definatley going in, but not sure if I want to go brackish or fresh. Most mollies don't need salt, however I am leaning towards brackish as I find it more unique. |
Well be careful, not all mollies are actually brackish as far as I know... I think sailfin mollies are true brackish, while black mollies are simply tolerable of salt... Make sure you find out what they're being kept in at the pet store, and raise their saline gradually... |
thanks, and that is the plan, as far as I know most pet stores keep there's in fresh, with only the odd store I see them actually adding salt with most of their live bearer's. But if I do go brackish, I will make sure what the saline levels are with the other fish. I definatly want black sail fins, as well as natural coloured mollies. There are actually 2 types of sail fin mollies, one more found in Brackish, and one more found in fresh. |

Taliban Stir Rising Anger of Pakistanis
from the COIN Central commentary on May 28th, 2009:
CC – with each bombing of civilians inside Pakistan (excluding the FATA frontier areas) the public opinion will likely turn against the Taliban and its allies in the border lands.
This is a hopeful sign that the Taliban may have over extended their reach and over-estimated their own appeal and strength.
Reprinted from NY Times, June 4th, 2009 edition.
Taliban Stir Rising Anger of Pakistanis
By SABRINA TAVERNISE
Photo: Emilio Morenatti/Associated Press
ISLAMABAD, Pakistan — A year ago, the Pakistani public was deeply divided over what to do about its spreading insurgency. Some saw the Taliban militants as fellow Muslims and native sons who simply wanted Islamic law, and many opposed direct military action against them.
But history moves quickly in Pakistan, and after months of televised Taliban cruelties, broken promises and suicide attacks, there is a spreading sense — apparent in the news media, among politicians and the public — that many Pakistanis are finally turning against the Taliban.
The shift is still tentative and difficult to quantify. But it seems especially profound among the millions of Pakistanis directly threatened by the Taliban advance from the tribal areas into more settled parts of Pakistan, like the Swat Valley. Their anger at the Taliban now outweighs even their frustration with the military campaign that has crushed their houses and killed their relatives.
"It's the Taliban that's responsible for our misery," said Fakir Muhammed, a refugee from Swat, who, like many who had experienced Taliban rule firsthand, welcomed the military campaign to push the insurgents out.
The growing support for the fight against the Taliban could be an important turning point for Pakistan, whose divisions about its Islamic militancy seemed at times to imperil the state itself.

But it is an opportunity that could just as quickly vanish, analysts and politicians warn, if Pakistan's political leaders fail to kill or capture senior Taliban leaders, to help an estimated three million who have been displaced, or to create a functioning government in areas long ignored by the state. "This is a profound moment in our history," said Javed Iqbal, the top bureaucrat in the North-West Frontier Province, the area of fighting. "My greatest fear is whether there is sufficient realization of this among people who make decisions."
On Wednesday, in an audiotape, Osama bin Laden specifically cited the fighting in Swat and Pakistan's tribal areas, blaming the Obama administration for the campaign and for sowing "new seeds to increase hatred and revenge on America."
American officials are keenly aware of the potential of the refugee crisis to spawn militancy. Less than a quarter of the $543 million the United Nations has requested for refugees has arrived, according to Pakistan's Foreign Ministry.
On Thursday, Richard C. Holbrooke, the American special envoy, visited refugee tents as part of a three-day trip to spread the message that the United States was trying to help. The Obama administration had requested an additional $200 million, he said, noting that it was providing more aid than all other countries combined.
Even so, anti-American feelings still run high in Pakistan. Many Pakistanis blame the United States and the war in Afghanistan for their current troubles.
Pakistanis have long supported the Taliban as allies to exert influence in neighboring Afghanistan. Unlike Afghans, they have never lived under Taliban rule, and have been slow to absorb its dangers.
But that is changing, as the experience of those Pakistanis who have now lived under the Taliban has left many disillusioned.
Over more than a year of fighting, the militants moved into Swat, by killing or driving out the wealthy and promising to improve the lives of the poor. Finally, the military agreed to a truce in February that all but ceded Swat to the Taliban and allowed the insurgents to impose Islamic law, or Shariah.
The prospect of Shariah was alluring, said Iftikhar Ehmad, who owns a cellphone shop in Mingora, the most populous city in Swat, because the court system in Swat was so corrupt and ineffective. But the Taliban's Shariah was not the benign change people had hoped for. Once the Taliban took power, the insurgents seemed interested only in amassing more, and in April they pushed into Buner, a neighboring district 60 miles from Islamabad.
"It was not Shariah, it was something else," Mr. Ehmad said, jabbing angrily at the air with his finger in the scorching tent camp in the town of Swabi. "It was scoundrel behavior."
Daily life became degrading. A woman was lashed in public, and a video of her writhing in pain and begging for mercy stirred wide outrage. Taliban bosses ordered people to donate money. Cosmetics shops and girls' schools were burned.
By the time the military entered Swat last month, local people began leading soldiers to tunnels with weapons and Taliban hiding places in hotels, the military said. "These people, six months back, weren't willing to share anything," said a military official who was involved in planning the campaign. "Gradually they've been coming out more and more into the open."
There has also been a change in other parts of Pakistan, like Punjab, the most populous province, where people used to see the problem of militancy as remote, said Rasul Baksh Rais, a professor of political science at Lahore University of Management Sciences. Now the province has become a target of suicide attacks, most recently last week in Lahore. Mr. Rais cited changes in news coverage of the military campaign and a strong stand by the political parties, even some of the religious ones, as evidence of the shift. "The tables are turned against the Taliban now," he said. "They are marginalized."
But the underlying causes that have allowed the Taliban to spread — poverty, barely functioning government, lack of upward mobility in society — remain. Mr. Iqbal is now working frantically to fill those gaps. New judges have recently been identified for Swat, he said, and about 3,000 new police officers will be selected this week.
The Pakistani military official, who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss future operations, said troops would have to remain in Swat for at least six months. Support for the Taliban has not evaporated entirely.
Early this week, on a searing hot street in Mardan, a town south of Swat that has absorbed many of the people churned up in the fighting, a tall man with a long beard, Muhammed Tahir Ansari, grew angry when asked whether the refugees approved of the military operation. "It is illogical to think that people would be happy about this tense situation," he said curtly.
He was from a charity run by Jamaat-e-Islami, one of the principal religious parties that tacitly support the Taliban, and was directing a frenzied effort to distribute water and hand-held fans.
The government, meanwhile, was nowhere in sight.
Irfan Ashraf contributed reporting from Swabi, Pakistan, and Mardan, Pakistan.

Muslim official does not believe mosque was Page's target at this time
The head of Wisconsin's largest Muslim organization said Thursday that it has seen no evidence to suggest that killer Wade Michael Page was actually targeting Muslims when he went gunned down 10 people, killing six, at the Sikh Temple Of Wisconsin in Oak Creek on Sunday. But he said it is waiting to learn whether the FBI's investigation suggests otherwise.
"Based on his white-supremacist views, it seems that he was just targeting anyone who was non-white. It could have been Sikhs, Muslims, African-Americans, anybody," said Othman Atta, executive director of the Islamic Society of Wisconsin in Milwaukee.
Still, Atta said, the society is meeting with law enforcement officials to re-evaluate its security protocols at its south-side mosque and other facilities, and will have a significant police presence at its Eid al-Fitr celebrations at the end of Ramadan.

I've heard so much about this revolving leather hole puncher on Amazon (see: PetiteXXS, AN forum, A.fashion.deliberation) but did not want to pay for shipping. I called around and discovered that Michaels Arts & Crafts and A.C. Moore carries it for $9.99, plus I found printable coupons online for both stores for 40% or 50% off one item. Silly me forgot my coupon, but ACMoore took it right off my iPhone ... score :D
Verdict: A MUST HAVE for anyone who has ever had trouble finding belts in the right size - whether too big or too small. One of the best $5's I've ever spent! Just compare the holes I punched (bottom) vs. the one my bf poked the old-fashioned way, using an awl (top):
I don't recommend this for belts that are several sizes too big, because there will be too much length left over. I need to figure out what to do my flopping ends...I've heard about fashion tape, but I want a permanent solution! Any suggestions?

We hit an eight year old benchmark this weekend. This little boy of mine was baptized. See that giant cookie shield with the CTR? CTR stands for "Choose the Right." Unless you ask my pesty brother, Roy. He'll tell you that it means "Cook the Rice." "Choose the Right" or "Cook the Rice." You can't lose. We took exactly 793.26 pictures. West with a cookie. West on the piano. West eating breakfast. West brushing his teeth. West taking out the trash. We couldn't help ourselves. I promise not to show you all of them. But, here are a few of my favorites. This is West with soon-to-be-eight years old cousin, Reeve. They look solemn, sane, and very holy in this picture. This is how they looked a few hours later. Wild, wacky, and totally normal. For eight year old, boys that is. Here's West with his Dad and my Dad. All in navy blue sportscoats. My handsome boys.Here is the Bishop with West and his neighborhood buddy, Aidan, who also got baptized that day. The Bishop is the one that made that giant cookie shield above. Needless to say, he's enormously popular with the recently-baptized crowd.

Oh, it looks like you had a nice day.
I knew you would.
West looks so handsome in his essential blue blazer, and so did Dad and Shane.
I wish we had been able to come.

What a special day! He looks so proud and so prepared. Something about him always reminds me of our Grandpa, and of course he also reminds me very much of Jackson at that age. You all look beautiful and happy. Congrats to West from your WI cousins. Do you know that my kids tell everyone about how their cousin designed the Push Up wrapper? Yep, he is their claim to fame and they have still yet to meet him. Someday, I hope.

Finally, I've had a chance to answer the questions for letter "H".
H is for...Handsome poet Andy.
1. What utterly impractical or useless skill do you possess that most people do not?
I'm a poet...what I lack in skills, I make up for with sentiments of love and romance.
2. If someone were to play you in the movie of your life, which actor would that be?
I'm the Original Poet...impossible to duplicate or replicate...so I'd have to play myself.
3. What piece of music do you most identify with? Perhaps, it's your theme song.
I can enjoy most genres of music, but the music that inspires me to write/puts me in a different mood is by the Indian singer Mukesh.
4. What food would you most like to have if nutrition and calories were not an issue?
I love chocolate in any size, shape or color, but I do have to watch my numbers, so I only indulge once in a while. Ideally, I would love to completely immerse myself in a bath full of chocolate!
5. What is your most favorite and least favorite sound?
Most favorite sound is the mellifluous voice of my beautiful wife. Least favorite is punk rock & heavy metal.
6. Top 3 people (dead or alive) would you invite to dinner? What would the main course be?
My wife (we always dine together), my favorite singer Mukesh (deceased)...he could serenade us after our meal and my favorite British actress, Helen Mirren (she could give me elocution lessons for when I play me in the movie of my life). Herb-stuffed pork chops
Let's get this Hullabaloo started!

Lol Jane - she must read this! Dxxx
Great set of answers Andy. xxxNo matter the crazy day I'm having, as soon as I hear my wife's voice, then peace & calm are restored (smile). Thanks Jane and Chris.
DeleteLOL...Denise, my wife, whom I also call my Executive Assistant, has the best of both worlds...the handsome poet & unlimited access to all his poetry.
I agree, you gotta love a guy who loves the sound of the wife's voice to start the day. Hope your day started off with 'a wink and a smile.'
Great intro, Andy, I have always love your poetry, it is a delight to read.Great interview and I agree with the comment that you gotta love a man whose favorite sound is his wife's voice.
ReplyDeleteGlad to know more about you Andy! The immersing in the bathtub filled with chocolate sounds very sweet hehehe..
ReplyDeleteLovely post Andy - we love chocolate too- but then most people do but don't always admit it- my OH is a Maltezer fanatic - are they worldwide or just here in the UK ? - Jane
ReplyDeleteA very romantic post indeed Andy.. I agree with you on the chocolates. I indulge myself with bitter chocolates whenever I get the chance. You should get ur wife to read this post maybe she might treat you with chocolates ;)
PhenoHi Andy! Nice to get to know the team members of ABC Weds! Herbed stuffed pork chops....yummy.
ReplyDeleteHey - I'm going out tonight, so if I haven't visited you already, I promise to do so tomorrow, since I have the day off!
ReplyDeleteHi Andy, a wonderful intro. You are a romantic and a nice guy. Thanks so much for hosting this week's letter.
ReplyDelete- Replies
Thanks Suzy. So, you know of Mukesh? Many of my poems have been written with his voice playing in the background. His music just sends me to a whole different place.
DeleteI sure do Andy. I lived in India for many years and listened to a lot of Mukesh numbers in my teenage years. One of my favourites is "Kabhie Kabhie Mere Dil Mein". I even played with his son Taboo as a kid though he may not remember.

- Servings: 12
- Prep Time: 15 minutes
- Cook Time: 45 minutes
- Total Time: 60 minutes
Glaze: | |
⅓ cup | Light Brown Sugar |
3 Tbsp | Unsalted Butter, melted |
2 Tbsp | Half & Half |
Cake: | |
1 | Yellow Moist Cake Mix |
½ cup | Milk |
½ cup | Water |
⅓ cup | Oil |
3 | Eggs |
1½ tsp | Cinnamon |
½ tsp | All Spice |
¼ tsp | Nutmeg |
¼ tsp | Black Pepper |
¾ cup | Roasted Sunflower Seeds, divided |
Brown Sugar Drizzle: | |
½ cup | Brown Sugar |
2 Tbsp | Water |
1 Tbsp | Butter |
4 Tbsp | Half & Half |
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray a sunflower bundt pan with cooking spray. Prepare glaze by whisking the sugar, butter and half and half creamer in a small bowl. Coat the inside of the pan with the glaze, focusing on the center and alternate petals. A basting silicon brush works well. Place the dry ingredients from the package mix in a large bowl. Add the milk, water, oil and eggs. Blend, then add the spices and mix for two minutes. Fold in 1/2 cup sunflower seeds. Sprinkle the rest of the seeds on the inside center of the pan and fill the pan with the batter. Bake according to package directions for 39-45 minutes. Check for done and remove. Cool in pan for 5 minutes and loosen cake from sides. Cool for another 5-10 minutes and remove from pan. To serve prepare brown sugar drizzle by putting the brown sugar and water in a small saucepan and heating until boiling. The sugar will melt and it will become golden in color. Whisk in the butter and half and half, then heat through. Place cake on a serving platter and drizzle center and top of cake using half of the drizzle. Add more sunflower seeds to top. Slice and place each piece on a plate and drizzle the plate and cake with brown sugar drizzle sauce.
Helpful Tips:
Bake it the night before for a beautiful breakfast! I used a mix to make and bake it quickly in my beautiful sunflower bundt pan! Thanksgiving is a special time. It is our family's favorite holiday. Food and family!

Subject: | Re: [september17discuss] Structure Proposal GA Tonight |
Jackie --
I fully agree 100% that certain practical matters, like financing, should be dealt with by a structure. The GA should identify those practical needs -- like financing, the one you mention -- and limit the structure to those. Anything like goals, demands, character of the group, should be left out of a structure of that type.
You are quite right that there is now an organizational element in OWS and a social movement element. What I'm suggesting is that a movement shouldn't, and probably can't, be led by the organizational element. The two, at some point, should be distinguished and recognized as distinct. Then the organization -- and there could be more than one, even many -- should move forward with means that are more efficient. But the GA ought to remain as it is to continue as the spirit of the social movement (imo).
In part I'm expressing my worry that a too decision-structured OWS will end up issuing a program. I think that will invite division -- splinters, internal criticism -- and external condemnation, and compel participants to waste effort defending the program, creating even more division.

I love the GA, but I don't know how many you have attended. I brought my women's group last Friday, and after sitting through a 40 + minute discussion on what to pay to rent a truck, they were turned off and left saying they, very active women, could never afford to function that way. Not many of our hard working Labor Group members attend GAs as they are now. The analysis by the Spanish occupiers of why their GA, which was great in the early stages, eventually failed points to the same problems we have tried to address. They said boredom, disempowerment and dilemmas rising from the consensus method caused people to leave (see Doug Singsen's post Thursday 9:40). I think the new structure will make the GAs more participatory when it comes to important decisions.

Subject: Re: [september17discuss] Structure Proposal GA Tonight
The beauty of a GA is that anyone can speak. It affords an admittedly limited but yet fully equal enfranchisement and empowerment. So far, OWS, using a GA, has been successful, I venture to say, way beyond anyone's imagination. You are about to fix something that has empirically worked. If it is dysfunctional, do not assume that's a problem. Study OWS's success first before assuming it needs repair.
The purpose of a structure is to make decisions. That's assuming that OWS is an organization. Well, in August, it was: an organization designed to create a social movement.
It succeeded: OWS is now a social movement, not an organization. Social movements don't make decisions.
Organizations within a social movement make decisions for themselves. That's what OWS should allow to flourish. But to imagine that some structure should call itself OWS and make decisions for OWS is, well, to coopt the movement. This structure is a coopting of a social movement.
I find great wisdom in the GA. I find this spokes structure at best counterproductive, at worst, divisive, disempowering and a threat to the local effort.
Once a structure makes decisions easy, there will be too many decisions and many will be mistakes. Where OWS needs such quick practical decisions like financing, OWS ought to set up structure for those, but only for those.On Fri, Oct 28, 2011 at 11:17 AM, Jon Good <firstname.lastname@example.com> wrote:

It was an adventure and our first trip across the country with Oscor. Somehow in a two day time frame I cleaned up from a muddy CX Nationals, packed up my life, loaded the car, and headed to the Southwest. This year due to weather we took a different route than normal. I-80 west to Denver - south on 25 - west on I-10. The first night we made it to Walnut, IA and found a Super 8. Not bad....
The next night we made it to Las Vegas, NM. I decided Super 8 was pretty good on night number one so we might as well try it again. We scored the best hotel I have ever stayed at... no joke, not really expecting that at a Super 8. So if you ever find yourself in Las Vegas, NM and need a place to stay I highly recommend the Super 8!
AZ Trail w/ Trav, Chloe, John Beck, & Krista Park |
It took about a week of laying low before I was feeling back to normal. Luckily just in time for an ass kicking 6 hour ride on the AZ Trail on my new Fuel EX 9. The new bike is so awesome. Fat tires, big suspension, and the new coolest feature in my opinion is the dropper seat post! I'm so glad I picked up this bike to rip up some trails out here and save a little wear on tear on the race bike.
Trek Fuel EX 9 - nothing fancy, but a really sweet ride! |
The 6 hour ride put me out of commission for a few days. It took a lot of birthday pizza & ice cream cake a few days later to finally recover!

SATURDAY: OK now a rest day and 4 CX races on the internet!

MONDAY: Peariso's arrived for some Arizona Trail Action & more burritos.
Yep I'm tired, but thats what its all about. Time for bed so I can do it again tomorrow! Yee-hah

The spot, however, proved to be a suitable space to launch BRU Handbuilt Ales, which has been growing ever since. In fact, a year ago Clark moved BRU out of his garage and into a space on Arapahoe Avenue on the east side of Boulder, and, in the process, expanded the concept to include a restaurant. He named the place BRU Handbuilt Ales & Eats. Now that another year has passed, Clark is throwing a party on Sunday, June 22, to celebrate two years of BRU and a year of running his restaurant. We recently caught up with Clark to talk about his love of craft beer, the keys to running a successful brewery, and what's next.
5280: What made you want to start a brewery in your garage two years ago?
IC: I actually set out to open BRU Handbuilt Ales & Eats in 2010. I had spent a year looking for money but kept hearing the same answer: "You have plenty of experience running a restaurant but no experience running a brewery." So, in 2011, feeling a bit frustrated by hearing "no" I decided to change my course. I had heard about Tom Horst opening Crystal Springs Brewing Company in his garage so I wrote him and asked a few questions. I saw it as a way to start. I bootstrapped the company and kept my day job as a chef. It was really a lot of work. I had a goal of staying in the garage for one year, then looking for investors again. That's when my in-laws, who were already partners, stepped in and said they believed in the vision. It was a dream come true—especially keeping it a family-owned company.
5280: How did your interest in craft beer begin? Do you remember the first craft beer you fell in love with?
IC: My buddies and I in high school thought we were beer snobs. (I mean, we knew we were going to be, because obviously there is no drinking at that age....) I remember drinking Allagash white and Newcastle brown ale. I loved them both, even back then. I must have been 16 or 17. From there, it was downhill, I couldn't bring myself to drink watery light lagers. I didn't like the taste. And here I am, 18 years later still enjoying the flavor of craft beer.
5280: A year into the restaurant, how do spend your time there? Mostly brewing? Cooking? Do you prefer one over the other?
IC: I love them both equally. I have been a chef most of my life so I always feel most at home in a kitchen. I spend more of my time brewing these days because that is where I am most needed. I get in the kitchen about one day a week and for all our beer dinners and special events. There are two very talented chefs in there, Jason Brown and Josh Monopoli, and they execute most of the food. We have kind of a trifecta of chefs going on. Every dish, menu change, and tweak the three of us sit down and talk. It's a pretty cool process—three very different view points on food, which is cool. Every dish has been thought out and discussed in depth. When it launches there is a very clear vision on what it is going to be.
5280: What are the keys to running a successful brewery or brew pub?
IC: I don't think there is any one key element or formula. Every business is different and has its own set of challenges. I would offer a bit of advice, though: Be a jack-of-all trades, it helps out big time. One day you might be building an oven, the next butchering, the next fixing a leaking brewery pump, the next pouring beers or waiting tables. Be flexible.
5280: Do you think it has become easier or more difficult to open a brewery these days with the beer scene booming as it is along the Front Range?
IC: Certainly more difficult. We have, in my opinion, the best beer on the planet here in Colorado. Especially with the diversity of styles and executions of them. Your beer needs to stand out, you are serving it to some of the most educated beer people around. Just because you are small doesn't mean you have a great product. And it is only going to get harder. The breweries on the Front Range (and all of Colorado) are continuing to innovate with their beer. It's a great time to live here if you are a beer geek.
5280: Has the brewery scene in Denver and Boulder hit a saturation point yet? Or do you think there's still room for new breweries?
IC: We certainly have a lot of breweries, but I would say that there is always more room for people making a great product.
5280: What is your process for coming up with a new recipe for a BRU ale?
IC: I think like a chef, which means we do a lot of adjunct brewing. I always like to base it off of what is coming into season. We have our year-round brews, but I mess around with a lot of other styles as well. We keep it fun and enjoy experimenting.
5280: What's next for BRU?
IC: I am a little superstitious, so I don't like to talk about things that aren't set in stone. But, that being said, be on the look out for more Ales & Eats in the future.
