Are you thinking about moving to Denver?
In 1893, Katharine Lee Bates sat atop Pikes Peak and wrote "America the Beautiful," one of the most well-known patriotic songs of our time. Just about 100 miles away from that summit at the base of the Rocky Mountains sits Denver, Colorado. With its blue skies and panoramic mountain views, Denver, a.k.a. the Mile High City is perhaps one of the most beautiful areas in the country. In fact, its beauty has inspired countless other authors, musicians and pop culture icons.
Maybe this natural beauty is why moving to Denver is so appealing. Or, maybe it's the 300-days of sun a year, easy access to the mountains and inherent outdoor playground. Either way, Metro Denver is one of the fastest growing cities in the nation, with almost 100,000 people moving there in the past seven years. Now, with a population of over three million, the city is scrambling to develop the infrastructure, transit and housing needed to keep pace with the demand.
Would you move to Denver? The area boasts a strong economy and a shiny, new façade that will take your breath away, both literally and figuratively. But some argue that it's overcrowded and expensive. We're exploring some other reasons why you might want to stay or stay away. These living in Denver pros and cons should help you decide if Denver is, in fact, the right choice for you. Have some advice you'd like to share with potential residents? Let us know in the comments below!
1. Denver is young, hip and desirable.
A millennial haven, 66% of the population in Denver are under the age of 44. Denver is also not a very culturally diverse city. 76.9% of the population is Caucasian, with gentrification being a major hot-button issue. This has greatly impacted the demand for rental housing, which makes homeownership less obtainable.
Denver is among the likes of the San Francisco Bay Area and Seattle when it comes to home price appreciation outpacing income growth and affordability. Apartments rent for an average of $1,519 a month, with median home prices jumping 10% to $420,000 in 2018.
If you can stomach the prices, one major pro of living in Denver is the views. No matter which neighborhood you choose, the metro is surrounded by 140 miles of panoramic mountain views, totaling 200 visible peaks.
That said, the very first step to becoming a Denverite is picking a neighborhood. Living in Denver is an experience, and because so many people want to do it, picking a community can get competitive and pricey (more on that later). Decide whether any of the following areas suit you, then figure out if you can afford it.
Top Neighborhoods in Denver
Fast-paced living with a relaxed vibe is possible in any of the following city neighborhoods. However, each area offers a little something different, which make picking the right one that much more important. Here are a few of the best places to live in Denver.
- The Highlands – Widely accepted as one of the most desirable places to live, the Highlands, and LoHi (Lower Highlands) specifically, is teeming with innovative restaurant concepts, hip rooftops, patios and boutique shops.
Average apartment rental: $2,023
- RiNo (River North) – If you don't want to be a LoDo (Lower Downtown) Ballpark Bro, RiNo is downtown Denver's hipster neighbor. Full of trendy warehouse conversions, street art and an explosion of bars and restaurants, it's the current place to see and be seen.
Average apartment rental: $1,727
- Capitol Hill – A bit rougher around the edges, Cap Hill is generally regarded to be the most affordable and convenient neighborhood in city proper. Home to the Capital building, it's major thoroughfare of Colfax Avenue is the longest street in America.
Average apartment rental: $1,519
We spoke with seasoned broker and real estate agent, Irene Glazer of Live Urban Real Estate for some insight. "Preference on which neighborhood to choose can vary widely based on taste and budget," Glazer explains. "Do you like urban, suburban, hip, up-and-coming, walkable, trendy, affordable, accessible to mountains/downtown, parks? Denver has a wonderful array that will fit most any lifestyle."
Glazer gave us a sampling of a few more under-the-radar Denver neighborhoods that have their own unique charm and character.
- Harvey Park — This neighborhood is located in Southwest Denver and is bounded by South Sheridan, Hampden, Lowell, and Jewell. Built in the 1950's, it's known for its selection of some of Denver's best and most affordable, mid-century modern architecture. Cliff May-style California Contemporary homes fill the neighborhoods' quiet, suburban-like streets.
Average home prices: in the low $400,000s.
- Platt Park — This area is located in Southeast Denver and is bounded by Downing, Broadway, Evans and I-25, Platt Park is seeing many of its older homes remodeled for 21st century living as well as quite a few new builds and pop-tops. The neighborhood is lovely, charming and walkable with one of the best/quaintest shopping districts, South Pearl Street. Don't miss the summertime Farmer's Market because it's arguably the best in the city.
Average home prices: around $500,000.
- Sunnyside — Located in Northwest Denver, Sunnyside is bounded by I70, 38th, Federal and I25. It's an up-and-coming neighborhood near trendy Tennyson and is already pretty well discovered, yet still in transition. It's easy to take a bike ride or a walk downtown, and there is easy access to get out of town. This area has a wonderful mix of old architecture as well as new (mostly attached) homes. Trendy coffee shops, restaurants, boutiques and home goods stores are starting to pop up everywhere.
Average home prices: in the $500,000s.
Denver Suburbs to Consider:
Denver is a good place to raise a family if you have the right resources, like a stable job and a steady income. Bringing some kids along for the move? Check out some of these top rated Denver suburbs.
- Stapleton – Stapleton is a new neighborhood that popped up a few years ago built on the old airport base. Its proximity to the city and relative affordability of new builds makes it a popular option for young families.
- Arvada — Olde Town Arvada has one of the cutest "Main streets" of any suburb. Its popularity has also caught on the past few years, driving up home prices.
- Englewood — This is a suburb with a lot of variety. Englewood has small, affordable homes with character located near the fun and funk of South Broadway, suburban "tract" style homes near the Denver Tech Center and sprawling mansions in Cherry Hills Village.
- Wheat Ridge — Close enough to the city yet a world away, Wheat Ridge is a natural expansion from NW Denver. There's tons of new development happening on 38th Ave., with breweries and restaurants clamoring to get in on the action.
2. Denver is becoming a major city.
There are so many opinions out there as to whether or not living in Denver is affordable. Some stats say yes it's affordable (compared to metros like New York City), but rapidly increasing rental prices and fast selling homes say otherwise. While living in Denver is much more affordable than living in places like Los Angeles, it's still pricey. For instance, the median home cost in Denver is $421,900, which just about doubles the national average of $216,200.
Before moving to Denver, make sure you're able to spend within your means, which means allotting no more than 30% of your salary to housing costs. If you're looking to buy or rent before relocating, make sure you give yourself plenty of time. Finding a place is highly competitive so most people use a rental agent. If you opt to rent, make sure you know your rights as a Colorado tenant.
Denver Housing Market Stats
Irene Glazer also helped us understand just how the housing market has changed over the past few years. Here are some highlights:
The Denver housing market has been appreciating at a double-digit clip since we started our climb out of the recession in about 2013. This past year we saw a bit slower appreciation of about 8%.
Our average sold price in metro Denver finished out at approximately $475K in 2017, and the prediction is that we will be around $500K by the end of 2018.
Inventory is still the biggest buzzword, and we are still extremely short on it, without a reprieve in sight.
We are about to enter the "Market Compression" phase in our annual real estate cycle where demand picks up before homes are listed, creating our early spring frenzy. This creates additional challenges as inventory levels typically continue to fall through January. If demand picks up, multiple offers, bidding wars and heightened flash sales could accelerate pricing earlier than expected in 2018.
Not sure whether you should rent or buy? According to Glazer, weighing expected appreciation, even at modest rates of 6% (Denver's historical average), against impending rent increases, it is still more advantageous to own vs. rent in the Denver market.
3. The cost of living in Denver won't break the bank, yet.
The biggest hurdle new residents face when moving to Denver is housing costs. Other than that, most cost of living expenses is more or less comparative to other cities.
Cost of Living Factors:
- Taxes — Property taxes are relatively low, sales tax is high, and income tax falls right in the middle at 4.63%.
- Health Care — Costs about 17% more than the national average.
- Groceries — You'll pay about 4% less than the national average.
4. Denver's economy is booming.
Higher paying jobs are available in Denver because so many top companies want to be based here. However, that means the competition for a quality job is that much more intense. Also, wages in Denver might not be as high as they need to be to afford the cost of living.
The average median income in Denver is $57,773, which is about 6% less than than the national average. Even if you can afford to live in Denver today, it's important to note that average salary increases aren't keeping pace with rising rents.
This discrepancy between rising housing costs and stagnant salaries could cause an issue a few years in and force a move further outside the city. Make sure you have a job in hand and some additional savings before relocating to this highly desirable area.
Top Denver Industries & Companies:
- Tech — The startup scene is exploding with companies like Baker Technologies and more established companies like Google and HomeAdvisor.
- Aerospace —Denver is keen on becoming "Aerospace Alley" (their play on Silicon Valley) with major companies like The Boeing Company, Raytheon and Northrop Grumman located here.
- Agriculture — Colorado's food and agriculture industry generates more than $5 billion a year, with companies like Love Grown Foods, Leprino Foods and Nutrien leading the charge. Colorado also ranks third in the nation for craft beer sales and production.
- Casual Concepts — Noodles & Company, Smashburger, Qboda and Boston Market are all headquartered here.
- Marijuana – Cannabis is big business, bringing in more revenue than some small countries.
5. Once you adjust to the altitude, the weather is incredible.
The quality of life in Denver is highly desirable, once you get used to the lack of oxygen. Contrary to popular belief, Denver is not located in the Rocky Mountains. It is a mile or so above sea level, though (5,280 feet, to be exact), and that can take your body some time to adjust. For most people, the pros far outweigh the cons as far as weather is concerned.
What It's Like Living in Denver:
- There are an estimated 300 days of sunshine every year. Even though the summers are hot, they lack humidity, which makes them more comfortable.
- The sky is bluer and the stars are brighter than other parts of the country due to the high-desert climate and elevation.
- Some of the top weekend vacation destinations are located within a few hours of Denver.
- The temperature can rise or fall by 40 degrees in a day due to the altitude, so always dress in layers.
- Since the air is thinner, there are lower levels of oxygen, which can take a toll on your body if you're not used to it or have an ongoing medical condition.
Tips to Acclimate to the Altitude:
- The air is really dry, which can dehydrate your body if you're not drinking enough water. Make sure to drink more water than you normally would, and always have chap-stick handy.
- Take it easy upon arrival. If you plan to do any mountain activities, give your body a few days to acclimate.
- Make sure to get enough sleep if the altitude makes you feel drowsy.
- At higher elevations, the sun is more intense, so always wear sunscreen!
6. Traffic is undesirable in and out of the city.
One difference between Denver and other large cities is the amount of weekend traffic headed out of the city toward the mountains. Ski traffic is something you'll want to account for if you move here since Denver is situated 75 miles or so from dozens of world-renowned ski resorts. Expect heavy traffic on Friday evenings and Saturday mornings in the winter. It can take anywhere from a 1.5-hour drive to 6+ hour nightmare.
But that isn't the only time you'll run into traffic in Denver. Since the city exploded with growth in the past decade, traffic within the metro can get congested too. Luckily, Denver is geographically small so getting to and from anywhere should take about 20-minutes during non-rush hour periods. Also, if you live and work in the downtown area, biking and the new Lime Scooters are a viable way to commute.
Tips for Getting Around:
- Be careful where you park. The sides of the street change to accommodate street sweeping.
- Consider getting a car with four-wheel drive or one that can handle more rugged mountain driving and varied weather conditions.
- The city added new light rail lines in 2016, including one that goes to the airport. Other light rails connect some suburbs to the city.
- Denver is a highly bike-friendly city. It's estimated that between 6-7% of downtown employees commute to work by bike.
- You can also rent B-cycle bikes from docks around the city, either by the hour or by day.
7. Denver is a beer destination and is on its way to becoming a food destination.
Craft brew fanatics will love that Denver is home to the second most microbreweries next to Portland. In fact, the area has been coined as the Napa Valley of Beer. But if you're looking to enjoy a pint or two during happy hour, remember to drink some water too. If not, you might feel buzzed sooner than you would in cities closer to sea level. Beer can have more of an effect due to thin air.
We spoke with Editor of Rocky Mountain Food Report, Dionne Roberts, on how the food and drink scene has evolved. "Denver's craft culinary and beverage scene continues to show rapid growth with the influx of diverse and gifted chefs, brewers and distillers," Roberts explains. "More people want to be a part of the mountain culture and that adds depth to the growing number of options and cultivates a higher sense of quality in the cuisine."
Roberts also shared with us some recommendations for potential residents to visit while in Denver.
Places to Drink:
- First Draft — A place to try dozens of local microbrews all under one roof. At First Draft, you're given a swipe card to pour your own tastings.
- Black Project Spontaneous & Wild Ales — Specializes in unique, blended and barrel-aged sour beers with industrial airplane-esque decor and meticulous brewing processes.
- Epic Brewing Company — Offers a fun, community tasting room with a lineup of dozens of flagship and elevated craft beers.
- Black Shirt Brewing Company — Relays an approachable rock n' roll edge in their stylistic, aptly-named beers, live music performances and funky brewery atmosphere.
- My Brother's Bar – So old it's been operating since before Colorado was officially a state, Jack Kerouac, Neal Cassady and Allen Ginsberg all hung out here.
- Death & Co – If you get tired of beer, this NYC outpost has a literal bible of craft cocktails in the swanky Ramble Hotel.
- Williams & Graham – Denver is also huge on speakeasies, with Williams & Graham named one of the top 50 cocktail bars in the world. The coolest part? You have to walk through a bookshelf to find it.
- Great American Beer Fest — This fall festival has the largest variety of beer served of any public tasting across the country. You'll be hard-pressed to try them all, since there are over 800 breweries and thousands of beers present. Buy your tickets immediately when they go on sale, as they do sell out in minutes.
Places to Eat:
- Euclid Hall — Located in the heart of Larimer Square with a focus on elevated pub fare, a great ambiance and thorough attention to providing locally sourced ingredients.
- AVANTI Food and Beverage — Denver basically pioneered the food hall concept, and AVANTI was one of the OGs for its killer rooftop. All vendors have short-term leases as a way to test pilot their concepts.
- Beatrice & Woodsley — A whimsical, cozy restaurant with a seasonal craft menu on Broadway that boasts a fairy tale interior perfect for date night or intimate gatherings.
- Snooze – Brunch is serious business in Denver, and local chain Snooze is always slammed. Expect to wait about an hour for their signature pancake flights.
- Linger – A former mortuary turned "eatuary," Linger serves innovative, international small places. Don't miss the vintage VW bus on the roof and one of the best skyline views of the city.
- The Buckhorn Exchange – A National Historic Landmark, the Buckhorn Exchange received the state's first liquor license and pays homage to the state's game meat culture. If you're brave, it's also the place to try Rocky Mountain Oysters.
- Tavernetta – The newly revamped Union Station has really become a must-see destination and hotspot. While all the restaurants are good, Tavernetta is elevated Italian worth seeking out.
- TAG – Troy Guard is one of Denver's most beloved chefs. His first outpost has unique fusion dishes, like Hamachi with pop rocks.
- Tacos Tequila Whiskey – Ask anyone what Denver's staple cuisine is, and taquerias are definitely part of the narrative (along with green chile).
- 16th Street Mall — Located in downtown Denver, this one-mile pedestrian section is packed with tons of cafes, brewpubs and restaurants. After a night out, play one of the ten public pianos on display. It's touristy, but a must-see for first-timers.
8. There are plenty of fun things to do in Denver.
Relocating to Denver is a much more enjoyable experience when you know there's a ton you'll want to do once you arrive. Do any of the following interest you enough to start packing up your belongings and heading to Denver?
Professional Sports Teams:
- Denver Broncos — One of pro football's biggest winners since the merger of the American and National Football Leagues in 1970, with a cult following
- Colorado Rockies — Coors Field has jokingly been called the best bar in Denver, so even if you're not a baseball fan, the stadium is worth a visit
- Colorado Avalanche — NHL team that won eight division title games in a row–the longest streak in the league
- Denver Nuggets — NBA team that has yet to reach the championship round in the playoffs, but is fun to watch nonetheless
Attractions and Fun Things to Do:
- Top Golf — Spend a leisurely day hitting some golf balls further than you normally would. No, really. Due to the high altitude, golf balls can reportedly go up to 10% farther!
- The Stanley Hotel — Horror fanatics should take an hour trek outside of Denver to visit this historic landmark that inspired Stephen King's 1977 bestseller, The Shining. Want a glimpse into the paranormal? Take their Night Spirit Tour and explore some creepy spaces.
- Red Rocks Amphitheatre — Chances are, if you want to see one of your favorite big time musicians live, they will have played at Red Rocks. The most acoustically perfect outdoor amphitheater in the world, music sounds incredible here and the views are unforgettable.
- Denver Performing Arts Complex (The DCPA) — Enjoy a variety of seasonal events on this four-block strip, like Broadway Theatre, ballet and opera.
9. Taking advantage of the great outdoors is easy all year.
Denver is the ideal location for adventure seekers looking to explore thrilling mountain peaks and valleys. But you don't have to be an adrenaline junkie or avid skier to enjoy outdoor life in Colorado. There are dozens of day trips suitable for the entire family all year round.
Green Spaces in the City:
- Washington Park — Take a pedal boat across Smith Lake for a perfect afternoon with the family.
- City Park — Hike the Mile High Trail in this park and get a five-kilometer workout exactly one mile above sea level.

- Private Foothills Tour — Take a four hour trek through the Foothills of Denver. There are many stops built into the tour. If you have kids, make sure to stop at Dinosaur Ridge, which is optional.
10. Marijuana is legal, but public consumption is not.
Colorado was the first state to legalize recreational marijuana, which might not impact your life in Denver as much as you think. You may smell it, but you'll rarely see people partaking, as it is still illegal to smoke in public. According to a survey by the Colorado Department of Public Health, only 13.6% of residents partake in recreational marijuana use, and fewer of them smoke every day. While this figure is much larger than the national average, some argue that many pot smokers in other states keep their habit behind closed doors. Regardless of where you stand on this issue, there are some things you should know, as that Rocky Mountain High is a big part of life in Denver.
Marijuana Etiquette:
- Dispensaries are identified with green crosses that look like pharmacies. "Bud-tenders" will walk you through the buying process and explain the effects the different strains may have on your body (sativa, indica and hybrids).
- If you wish to smoke pot in your home, make sure it is allowed in your lease agreement before you light up.
- You must be over the age of 21 to buy and consume pot in Colorado.
- Public use of marijuana is illegal, so don't expect to find people lighting up in the streets.
- Certain hotels and AirBnbs restrict the use of marijuana on their premises, so be sure to find a smoker-friendly establishment if you're planning a trip and wish to smoke.
- Just because marijuana use is legal doesn't mean your boss has to agree. Your company can administer drug tests and create policies banning the use of marijuana.
- The marijuana industry is very innovative and there are many ways to experiment with its effects without actually smoking. Topicals, edibles, and vaping are all extremely popular.
- If pregnant, the CDPH advises strongly against the use of marijuana. If any newborn baby tests positive for THC, the hospital is advised to contact child protective services.
Make relocating to Denver a relatively simple process.
If you're planning a move to Denver, creating a checklist of everything you need to do can be helpful. In order to be considered a resident of Denver, you must be employed, own a business, or reside in Denver for at least 90 days. Don't forget some of these essential steps to becoming a Denverite.
Moving to Denver Checklist:
- Before registering your car, update out of state vehicle titles using this form. Be sure your car will pass the required emissions tests before bringing it into the state. If not, you may have to sell the car before you move.
- Transfer your license within 30 days and register your car within 90 days at the DMV.
- Decide whether or not you want to update your organ donor status.
- Register to vote in Colorado online.
- Learn about the requirements for residency as it relates to higher education.
- Change your address and have your mail forwarded using this form from the USPS.
- Sometimes relocation dates don't match up exactly. If your belongings arrive before you have access to your home, consider temporary self storage in Denver.
We hope you learned a thing or two about life in Denver. Would you ever move here? Do you have some insight you'd like to share? Let us know in the comment section.

Name: Nathalya Karolina Cabral
Age: 20

What are your top island beauty tips for healthy skin?
Coconut oil! I pretty much moisturise my skin almost every night with it.
What would a normal week look like for you?
The most interesting part of my modelling job is that there is no 'typical' day. One day I would be busy with long 8 hours shoots and the other day I would be working for 2-4 hours or no shoots for a week haha! When I have my short shoots of days off I enjoy my mornings by a smoothie and working out for 45 minutes, in the afternoons I always go down to the beach for sunset and when the surf is good I go out. When I have days off I love to get away, Uluwatu and Nusa Lembongan are my faves around Bali. I check my emails & calendar every single day and try to make plans such as doing collaborations through Instagram or planning shoots and such. This way I can increase my pace for doing work and can be more productive for the day.
Favourite cafes/bars and why?
The Loft (@theloftbali) – My number 1 breakfast so far and they make the best acai bowl in Bali and a cool vibrant vibe.
Tygr Sushi (@tygrsushi) – Best Japanese! Seriously, I went to Japan for a 2 week holiday and the day I arrived in Bali I went to Tygr.
Warung Sobat – Best nasi goreng ever! Plus the staff there is super cute!
If you have 5 minutes to get ready, what's your go to style?
Mascara always! I can't leave the house with no mascara, lip gloss I love, then a bikini and denim shorts will do, I don't even wear shoes most of the time haha
What's your favourite thing about island life?
Freedom! I feel so free and like I'm actually living, everyday I'm happy and smiling, sometimes it's like time doesn't exist – I love it!

Inderpal Bhandari earns CDO of the Year honors
The role of the chief data officer has evolved from its beginnings as the person in charge of the data warehouse to a C-level executive responsible for driving enterprise transformation.
Leading this effort at IBM is the company's first global CDO, Inderpal Bhandari, who was recently awarded the CDO of the Year 2017 by the CDO Club, the largest community of C-suite digital and data leaders.
Bhandari is a widely recognized expert in transforming data into business value and improved customer experiences. He is responsible for IBM's data strategy to enable the company to derive value from cognitive insights from massive stores of unstructured and structured data.
Later this year, Bhandari will unveil the Cognitive Enterprise Blueprint, a "playbook" IBM has developed for implementing foundational use cases that a CDO can use to apply artificial intelligence (AI) into every business process of the enterprise.
This is the first year the CDO Club has awarded the honor, which was voted upon by its members. The global CDO community "overwhelmingly voted for [Bhandari], which speaks volumes about his international influence and stature in data, analytics, data science, artificial intelligence, machine learning, and cognitive computing," said David Mathison, CEO and founder of the CDO Club.
"The cognitive mission we are pursuing within IBM is the one we're executing for our clients around the world: to exploit analytics, AI, data science, deep learning, and more, to make informed, strategic business decisions that are based on insights extracted from their own data," Bhandari said.

- Wise Investment for Protecting your Head Protector
This is a wise, must-have investment to protect your Cookie helmet. My only reason for a 4 star on quality is the slightly misleading description of a "hard base". The bottom of the bag does have a tougher plastic type material, which will definitely protect your helmet - but it will still bend (which is definitely necessary for the added pockets). I appreciate the pockets, and use them to carry multi-tools and cleaning rags. The carry handle clips come in handy for attaching your helmet to you bag and making sure you don't lose track of loose items while you're jumping all day.

Got mine to accompany my G3 helmet. It fits to perfection, with an extra pocket for any other small objects you would want to put in there. It is very high quality, and it protects your helmet from anything it may encounter. When you are spending 379 dollars on a helmet, you want to make sure that it is protected. This bag does just that.

(My favorite all time band) but he's a true NY renaissance man always exploring new ways to tell his stories and express himself whether it be art, multimedia or music. I used to go to a lot of shows in the city and he would just be there, not to be seen but to experience something he loves. It didnt matter how old he was or he stuck out with his mane of white hair. I aspire to be like David Byrne, to never give up on the experience.

Lorelei's Lit Lair Recommends…
Dukes Prefer Blondes by Loretta Chase
Book 4 in The Dressmakers Series
Biweekly marriage proposals from men who can't see beyond her (admittedly breathtaking) looks are starting to get on Lady Clara Fairfax's nerves. Desperate to be something more than ornamental, she escapes to her favorite charity. When a child is in trouble, she turns to tall, dark, and annoying barrister Oliver Radford.
Though he's unexpectedly found himself in line to inherit a dukedom, Radford's never been part of fashionable society, and the blonde beauty, though not entirely bereft of brains, isn't part of his plans. But Clara overwhelms even his infallible logic, and when wedlock looms, all he can do is try not to lose his head over her . . .
It's an inconvenient marriage by ordinary standards, but these two are far from ordinary. Can the ton's most adored heiress and London's most difficult bachelor fall victim to their own unruly desires?
Lorelei's Thoughts
This was my first book by Loretta Chase and certainly not the last. I am drawn by her clever dialogue, charismatic characters and interesting story line. The audiobook is wonderful if you enjoy listening. Narrator Kate Reading does an amazing job. I highly recommend Loretta Chase if you enjoy witty, adventurous and romantic historical tales.
I give Dukes Prefer Blondes 4.5 hearts!

Syrups can be used in recipes to sweeten and add body to everything from main dishes to desserts. But all syrups are not meant to be used interchangeably. Their different molecular structures mean some are better for certain uses. To learn more about the science behind syrups Managing Producer Sally Swift talked with Dan Souza, Editor in Chief of Cook's Illustrated. One syrup they talk about is the British classic, Lyle's Golden Syrup. Use it specifically to make this wonderfully delicious America's Test Kitchen recipe for Frozen Yogurt.
Sally Swift: We recently spent a day talking with the wonderful Nigella Lawson. And while we didn't get a chance to talk to her about all those crazy English desserts like the flummery and the Eton mess, it got me thinking about that classic English syrup called Lyle's Golden Syrup. It comes in that beautiful green tin can and it has a toasty flavor. What do you know about it?
Dan Souza: It's definitely a classic, and I love that's got that mild caramelized flavor. It's not as in-you-face as maple syrup but it's nice. It shines best in a classic British dessert called a treacle tart, which is so popular it even shows up in the Harry Potter books – it's kind of a cult favorite and I love it in that application. But I think Americans could get a lot out of Lyle's if they search for it. Years ago, we found an awesome use for Lyle's Golden Syrup and that's in frozen yogurt. That might sound kind of strange, but it's really cool. It gives us frozen yogurt that is easier to scoop right out of the freezer, it's creamier and less icy; it doesn't have a lot of that harsh, rough ice that you feel on your tongue in some frozen yogurt.
Dan Souza

The reason that Lyle's is key to that is based on its composition. Lyle's is considered 50 percent inverted. I'm going to get a little bit nerdy here to explain what that means. When we talk about a syrup where you just took regular white sugar and dissolved it in water, that would be sucrose, which is white table sugar. But if you do certain things to it – like heat it with an acid or add an enzyme to it – you can break that sucrose down into its building blocks. Every sucrose molecule is made up of one molecule of fructose and one molecule of glucose. With Lyle's, 50 percent of the mix has been converted from sucrose into those smaller molecules of sugar. The reason that matters is when we talk about frozen desserts like ice cream and frozen yogurt we want to keep some of the liquid in that mixture liquid; we don't want it to all freeze. If it all froze you'd have an ice cube of ice cream that wouldn't be very pleasant. The more sugar molecules we pack into an ice cream base or a frozen yogurt base the more of that liquid will remain liquid in the freezer. So, by adding Lyle's we're adding basically the same amount of sugar overall but more sugar molecules for every quarter-cup that we add. Those additional sugar molecules keep more of the water as a liquid, it will be easier to scoop, and taste a lot creamier.
SS: I didn't understand that about frozen things, that sugar affects the texture in frozen things. Will any syrup work when you are working with frozen sweets?
DS: They will all work a little bit differently, and it's really going to depend on their composition. We've also had good luck using corn syrup in ice cream recipes. That composition is a little bit different; it's got a fair amount of glucose in it, but it also has these broken starch chains that give a ton of viscosity to corn syrup. When you pour corn syrup you can see that it's really thick, but it's not actually that sweet. It's got these starch chains that kind of get in the way. That viscosity that adds thickness helps when you're making ice cream as well because it slows the movement of water molecules, so fewer of them bump into one another and form large ice crystals. We get a similar effect with corn syrup but for a slightly different reason.
America's Test Kitchen Recipe: Frozen Yogurt
SS: What about something like honey?
DS: Honey is interesting. It also has a fair amount of fructose and glucose. Those smaller sugars aren't just useful for ice cream making, they're also useful in browning. We talk about browning on baked goods and steaks and roasts; if you add honey into the mix as opposed to just using white sugar you can get deeper and more complex browning and better flavor.
We did this really cool test where we took one whole side of salmon, and on one-third of it we brushed on some honey, one-third we left plain, and on the final third we put a little bit of white sugar. Then we put under the broiler. The side with honey on it got absolutely gorgeous brown over the entire surface; it's because of those smaller sugars in there that promote caramelization and Maillard browning.
SS: That's so interesting. And all of this stemming from a thought about Lyle's.

Today's poem springs from things seen and heard this morning.
Best before
Rhubarb and mango chutney
square bottle
gold lid
under the ingredients list
it says best before May 2913.
I admire the precision
of that 'May'
wonder what happens after
April's 30 days…
will a pumpkin midnight
catapult it's sweetness to decay
or is it just the tipping point
of some slow bacterial slide?
What do they know, these labellers?
The jar put away
I drive along the bypass.
The voice on Radio 4 says showers –
sharp showers.
Shock of hail
sudden flurries of sleet
all these come and go
no knives yet
no shining javelins
or pin-thin darning needle drops.
I glance at the sky
and think of chutney
ripening on the shelf
… and from my keyboard-free fortnight, this one from my notebook (April 19th)
The birds in the forest
The birds in the forest
are green as pears speckled
as trout. They stare
at the yellow sky
their long needle beaks
suck up the sun
their eyes are black beads
their wings folded close.
They are secret
filling the trees
invisible as leaves
more silent than still air.
There will be no murmuration
no gathering for migration.
They wait
in mute attention

This is a very key story from the AP. Bruce Ohr, a DOJ expert on Russian organized crime who has been relentlessly vilified and attacked by President Trump, had a July 30th, 2016 breakfast with Christopher Steele, then just started his sleuthing on candidate Trump's relationship with Russia. This week Ohr discussed that meeting with lawmakers in a private interview. From the AP: "Among the things Ohr said he learned from Steele during the breakfast was that an unnamed former Russian intelligence official had said that Russian intelligence believed "they had Trump over a barrel," according to people familiar with the meeting."
It's an open question to me the precise quality of the information Steele was able to develop for what is now known as the "dossier". He himself has said that many of his longtime sources went to ground soon after he got started when the whole Trump/Russia/Emails story broke into the open. I have little question though that it was a good faith effort to get to the bottom of deeply troubling clues about Trump's ties to Russia, Russian intelligence and Russian organized crime. As the AP story also notes, the two men "had first met a decade earlier and bonded over a shared interest in international organized crime."
These are people who have experience, know how intelligence and organized crime works and are dedicated to fighting the latter and defending their respective nation-states. Unfortunately, that makes both of them a threat to President Trump.
We get caught up in the President's over-the-top attacks on all these players: Steele, Ohr, Strzok, Page, et al. We shouldn't lose the big picture. They're targeted because they know things that endanger the President. The entire canvas is one vast obstruction of justice, a lawless President trying to escape the grasp of the law and using his powers as President and his outsized megaphone to evade the law, to become something more than a President.

Feature #9714
post-crop dimensions
It would be nice if the Image Information 'tab' (in both the lighttabe and the darkroom) would also display the dimensions of the image after cropping.
And maybe the lighttable could also show what the smallest value for each dimension in the currently displayed collection (or maybe the selection?) is, so you can quickly see if you need to worry about your export dimensions
#1 Updated by Tobias Ellinghaus over 6 years ago
- % Done changed from 0 to 20
- Target version set to Future
- Status changed from New to Triaged
For export that information is not needed. If you want maximum size just use
0 in the export module, and if you want to have the long side of fixed size and the small one scaled accordingly just set the same value for both dimensions. darktable will fit the image into the square, i.e., scale the long side to the desired value and make the short one smaller.
It is probably still a bit of data people might be interested in.
#2 Updated by Martijn van Beers over 6 years ago
The reason I used that export example was to use the data so you could easily have the maximum sized output, while still keeping all the exported images the same size, or to make sure there isn't one image that is too cropped for your desired export size.

Author: Meca Tanaka (186 pgs)
Summary: Tamako Momono is 13 when she is finally reunited with her mom and also her 10 year crush, Kanji Inui. Unfortunately, her mom's new job as an Idol is based on Innocence and Purity. Having had Tamako when she was a teen, her whole career could tumble if exposed so Tamako goes to live with her mom's boss which also happens to be Kanji's dad! Tamako is a strong girl because of Kanji and a promise he had made her 10 years before. Will Kanji remember and keep his word? Will Tamako's insistence convince Kanji to be with her? PLEASE read Pearl Pink to find out, and I promise that you will fall in love with this super great manga!
Review: My friend had been telling me to read this since forever, but I didn't really know if I would like it since I've only read a couple other Manga. Trust me when I say that this story is REALLY cute!! I absolutely love Tamako's strong but girlish character as well as Kanji's calm disposition. Its a classic case of crazy parents when it comes to Kanji's dad and Tamako's mom which makes all the better! The cover is also really pretty and I love her tiny pet! The only thing weird about it was that Kanji seemed too calm for a guy whose being confessed to by a girl he doesn't even really know. Anyway, its really a great book!

The set in Matamata still attracts hundreds of visitors each day keeping Hobbiton firmly place in the number three spot. Milford Sound is unlike anything seen in New Zealand and a cruise through the sound is the best way to get to see these diverse landscapes. Wanaka makes it in at the number five spot. Its flawless location gives tourists a picture-perfect shot in any season. Its vast lakes and mountain tops give plenty of spaces to snap your flawless shot.
At number six is the beautiful Mount Maunganui. The popular summer spot has epic views from its peak. Auckland City and Waiheke Island are the number seven and eight on the list. Both locations are but a hop skip and a jump away and give many opportunities to get those likes. The famous Sky Tower is a must see with 360 views of the city from 328 meters above the ground making it perfect for scouting out your next location. After your busy morning, take a wine tour on Waiheke Island and get those beautiful sunset "clink" photos.

The Kaleidoscopic Ventures of a Quilter
Thursday, 24 December 2009
Another card to add to my stash. I stamped words over white card, dried it then stamped the seedhead stamps in Versamark and clear embossed. I then sponged all over with a few colours of Adirondack inks and after a quick wipe over with a paper towel the lettering showed through the resist area. It's a bit of a nice mess but I must play again till I get some better results.

I find I can waste a lot of time looking through photos trying to decide what to use. I like most of them…they are subjects that caught my eye but will they make a good painting?
Perhaps you have found yourself in a similar position. I find doing small pencil thumb nails a great help …it is not usually a good idea to dive into a painting without doing at least a little preliminary work first.
However what I have decided to do is at least one small watercolour sketch of a photo that I would like to paint. The sketch can take me 10 minutes or up an hour but no longer
and that includes drying time…..use a hairdryer.
I am aiming to do a daily sketch (!) and then have a collection I can look at to help me decide which would work as a painting. The daily sketches will be posted on my website blog. I think this is going to help with painters block as well…..it will get a paintbrush in my hand!
Give it a try and don't spend more than 5minutes choosing that photo!!!

3 Ridiculously Easy Hairstyles for Fine Hair
If you have short, fine, thin hair, you know you have to work with your hair differently from those who have a full head of thick hair. Some styles you can pull off, and some you simply can't. In this video I'm showing y'all three really easy (like seriously, it's ridiculously easy) hair styles for short, fine hair that'll take you 3 minutes or less! (Scroll to the bottom for the video!)
Dry shampoo is great for 2nd and 3rd day hair. Not only does it freshen things up, it gives your roots a whole lot of volume (I like to even sprits some on my first day hair). Before styling, spray on some dry shampoo on the roots and rub it in with your fingers. I also try not to brush out my hair because I love working with the texture and what ever volume I had from the night before.
People wonder how I keep my hair looking nice and shiny. Truth be told, Tresemme Keratin Smooth hair serum is one of my favorite products I use to add shine into my hair. Before styling, add a little bit of product to the ends of your hair (avoid the roots).
Hope you guys like this video!

This week's nifty thrifty lesson:
"Bathing Suits"
I really don't have a problem buying most things second hand, and bathing suits are no exception. Here are some tips for buying suits at Goodwill:
1.Find the suits-GW doesn't carry too many suits usually, so just finding them can be difficult! I would recommend asking an associate to tell you where they are so that you don't waste time wandering around.
2.Try them on-this is a rule with all clothing…try it on! It's so important, especially with something like a bathing suit that really needs to fit correctly. An interesting point to keep in mind is that bathing suit material expands when wet, so buying a suit slightly small is actually ok. Also, wear your underwear while you try on the bottoms for sanitary reasons.
3.Check the condition-avoid suits that have pilling on the butt (from sitting on asphalt etc.) or are very bleached out because this indicates it will fall apart soon, make sure the elastic is intact, reject anything with stains, and unfortunately it's difficult to tailor suits so don't buy anything with rips or that needs to be altered.
4.Search for brands-just like you should with clothing, check the brands to make sure you're getting high quality. Of course, the suits are very inexpensive so if you find a cute Old Navy suit and want it then get it. However, you should be aware that it won't last as long as one by a company that specializes in suits or from a high quality brand that makes suits. Here are some good ones to look for:
- Roxy,
- Victoria's Secret,
- J. Crew,
- Speedo,
- Nike,
- O'Neill,
- Body Glove,
- Ralph Lauren,
- Guess,
- Raisins,
- Venus.
5. Wash it-when you buy anything from GW or another thrift store, I recommend washing before wearing (although even I don't always follow that rule) but swimwear definitely requires a washing. Simply washing it with detergent and hot water is totally fine, although some people like to rinse it with vinegar as well. Just be sure to let the suit air dry because heat from the dryer will ruin it.
I can't really believe I'm going to do this, but here we go…I found this J. Crew suit at the Goodwill in Eagle Rock, CA. It's so adorable and fits really well, and I snatched it up so quick. The retail price is probably around $100 for both pieces, but I paid $6. Yeah, it's pretty awesome.

March of Inspiring Mums - Alexa Whitten
Our "March of Inspiring Mums" interview series celebrates women who are doing some amazing things, whether through business, a campaign or just being fabulous! - hope you enjoy the "March of Inspiring Mums" series!
Today's interview is with Alexa Whitten. Mum to her 13 year old son, she is also a book coach, publisher and book designer.
Not only does Alexa share her tips of juggling work with single parenthood, she also tells us how she fell into book publishing whilst working at Starbucks!
Alexa has since worked on and published some incredible books through her business The Book Refinery.
Tell me a little about yourself and how you got into the job you're now doing?
I was working as a Starbucks manager in Kent, when a regular customer offered me a job in his publishing company (he had been watching me work, how I worked and basically poached me.) He taught me book design and it was at one of his seminars (he was also a marketing expert) where a client showed him a book he had written and produced himself (the client) which was designed really badly. I saw an opportunity to run a business alongside my bosses, and that is how The Book Refinery was born.
Tell me one interesting fact about you?
I sailed around the world on my parents 40' yacht – and have sailed the Atlantic twice.
I also hold a full motorcycle license and have got into weight training.
Please can you share 3 tips for managing the juggle of motherhood, life and business?
I'm a single parent, so juggling Oliver when he was little was tough. But he joined lots of after school clubs so I could work until 4pm.
I get up early to fit everything in… especially my time at the gym, which has really helped my productivity.
Ask for help and delegate. I now have a fab VA and she can do all the little bits that I just don't have time for.
What's the best piece of advice you could give a new mum?
Enjoy every last second of their babyhood… they grow up so fast. Also, get into a routine… then everyone knows what is happening when.
Colour can make a real difference to our mood - what's your favourite colour? And how does it make you feel when you wear it?
I love green – it makes me feel calm.
What's your favourite activity to do with your son?
Mountaineering. It's a new passion of mine, and Oliver loves it too. Or anything by the sea.
What do you like to do for some me-time?
I read a lot. I like to go to the gym. Socialise with friends.
Thank you Alexa for sharing your story with us. The juggle of parenthood is hard but doing it single-handedly whilst running your own business is so inspiring.
I love your tips on finding the time to do the things you want to, even if it means getting up earlier! Plus a great suggestion of outsourcing so you can free your time up to focus on what matters too.
To find out more about Alexa or the books she has worked on and published head over to her website, follow her on Facebook or Instagram

When the oldest dragon shifter in the world needed someone to rescue his granddaughter, bear shifter Raphael stood up and volunteered. He was sure it was a fool's quest. She had been kidnapped months ago, and it was unlikely she was still alive. By the end of it, he may end up the same. That doesn't stop him from agreeing to go, however, for one simple reason: It's the right thing to do. Besides, with things in Genesis Valley calm for the time being, all the other shifters were spending time with their mates.
Karlie, granddaughter of the dragon Ferrovax, has spent the past nine months in a prison. A fancy, country cottage-style prison, perhaps, but a cage nonetheless. There were no bars on the windows and no chains around her feet, but she knew that leaving was out of the question. The cadre of bear shifters who watched her every move prevented that.
When a handsome stranger appears at her window in the middle of one of the worst storms she's seen, Karlie has seconds to decide what to do. As alarm bells ring and guards come rushing, the stranger promises her safety and a way out of her prison. But she hasn't forgotten that blind trust was what got her into trouble in the first place.
