Carolina is home for Brind'Amour: 'I bleed Hurricane red' - Duration: 6:18.

Carolina is home for Brind'Amour: 'I bleed Hurricane red'

Rod Brind'Amour came to Carolina in 2000 and never left.

He worked his way up the Carolina Hurricanes' organizational ladder from key trade acquisition to captain of a Stanley Cup-winning team to the front office to assistant coach and, now, head coach.

Along the way, he's become so blended into the fabric of the community that he coached his son's T-ball team in his spare time without drawing much attention.

When he was introduced last month as Bill Peters' successor, the Ottawa native referred to Raleigh as "my town.

"Obviously, I've been here a long time.

My wife's from here, we've got our families here," Brind'Amour said.

"The organization means something to me, and wearing the crest, it's special, and so I don't envision myself being in the hockey world with anyone else.

That's kind of what I meant by it.

"I bleed Hurricane red," he added.

With the NHL's free agency period starting Sunday, Brind'Amour and the Hurricanes have something unique to sell — their new coach's loyalty to the club and the city, and the intimate connection between the team and one of the league's smallest markets — one that is starving for a winner.

Carolina has the NHL's longest active playoff drought, missing the postseason for nine consecutive years, and has made it only once since Brind'Amour hoisted the Cup in 2006.

Brind'Amour, who was traded here 18 years ago by the Philadelphia Flyers in the Keith Primeau deal, holds a rare position among his peers in the coaching fraternity as one of only 20 active coaches in North America's four major professional sports who played for the team he now coaches.

"It's special, and I think the attraction for me is that I believe in this group.

If we can just add the right pieces, I think we can be competitive," Brind'Amour said.

"And I've been here when it was a great market, and we were good and had the support, so I know we can regain that.".

None of those 20 coaches have continuously been with their franchise as long as Brind'Amour.

The closest comparison might be Milwaukee Brewers manager Craig Counsell, who spent his childhood in that city while his father worked in the team's front office and has been with the club since 2007.

After finishing his playing career in 2011, he moved into the front office and took over as manager in 2015 following Ron Roenicke's midseason firing.

"Growing up here and being a fan of the Brewers, and just living here my whole life, the connection to the organization obviously means a lot," Counsell said.

"It helps you understand the organization just because you've been a part of it and known it for a while.

It helps you know the history; it helps you know the people.

I feel a responsibility to baseball in this state and in this city.

I take that seriously.".

In addition to Brind'Amour, only three other current coaches or managers have won championships while playing for those teams: Los Angeles Lakers coach Luke Walton won two titles as a forward in the 2000s, Dallas Cowboys coach Jason Garrett was a backup quarterback on two Super Bowl-winning teams in the 1990s, and Boston Red Sox manager Alex Cora was part of that club's World Series-winning team in 2007.

Raleigh's small-town feel also affords Brind'Amour the chance to be a normal father.

In a scene that might be hard to imagine in one of hockey's pressure-cooker cities, Brind'Amour spent the spring coaching first base as an assistant for his son's T-ball team in the suburb of Wake Forest.

The team's head coach, Matt Greene, described Brind'Amour as "an active, involved dad" and said watching him with the young players was like "watching the magic work.

"He was talking to the kids about baseball.

(and) the parents are talking about hockey, (with the parents telling him) 'I've got my son signed up for hockey next spring,'" Greene said.

"But Rod was talking to the kid, and putting it more on the kids.

Not that Rod was the star, but the kid was the star in baseball.".

Brind'Amour, the son-in-law of former North Carolina State basketball player and ex-UNC Asheville coach Eddie Biedenbach, connected with the Raleigh community pretty quickly after his 2000 arrival, and he hopes the current players can do the same.

"We're a younger team now, but as they get older.

they're going to see that this is a great place to raise a family," he said.

"The people here are just friendly, they're down-to-earth and it's a comforting type of lifestyle.

At the end of the day, we all try to be a champion and we want to be a Stanley Cup champion, but there's other parts of life, too, that are important.

"Being a hockey player, being successful, you've got to feel good about where you live," he added.

"We've checked that part off.

Now we've just got to get the hockey part dialed in.".

Trump cites Russia's denial of meddling: 'Where is the DNC Server?' - Duration: 3:01.

Trump cites Russia's denial of meddling: 'Where is the DNC Server?'

President Trump cited Russia's denial of meddling in the 2016 U.S.

presidential election in a tweet early Thursday, asking why former FBI Director James Comey did not examine the Democratic National Committee's (DNC) hacked email server. .

"Russia continues to say they had nothing to do with Meddling in our Election!" the president said.

"Where is the DNC Server, and why didn't Shady James Comey and the now disgraced FBI agents take and closely examine it?" he added.

"Why isn't Hillary/Russia being looked at? So many questions, so much corruption!".

The DNC in April sued the Russian government, the Trump campaign and WikiLeaks, alleging that they conspired to aid Trump in the 2016 election.

The DNC said that by alleging that by hacking and publishing the committee's emails, multiple individuals and groups were part of a larger conspiracy to damage Hillary Clinton's campaign and help Trump win. .

Trump's campaign has dismissed the suit as "desperate.

The president's remarks come as White House national security adviser John Bolton works to hammer out details of an upcoming summit between Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin.

Bolton, who met with Trump's Russian counterpart on Wednesday, said the issue of election interference came up in their discussions.

"We did indeed talk about Russian interference in the elections and I expect it will be a subject of conversation between the two presidents as well," Bolton said.

Russia has repeatedly denied meddling in the U.S.

election, however, the U.S.

intelligence community has concluded that the Kremlin had a hand in 2016 election meddling. .

Trump has said he believes the assessment from "our intel agencies" that Moscow meddled in the election using cyberattacks and disinformation.

Kombucha: What is It, How Do You Make It, and What is It For? - Duration: 8:43.

Kombucha: What is It, How Do You Make It, and What is It For?

Kombucha tea has been consumed in many Asian countries for thousands of years.

Today, it has gained in popularity due to its high probiotic content and ability to detox your body and strengthen your immune system.

Kombucha is a fermented tea with certain fungi and bacteria.

The fungi and bacteria generate gas, glucose, and ethyl alcohol.

These components join together on the surface of the tea, forming a gelatinous, brownish, cream-colored mass.

The bacteria and fungi used may vary depending on the type of tea used and preparation time.

How to make kombucha. Ingredients.

4 cups of water (1 liter).

3 tablespoons of brown sugar (70 g).

You can also use organic sugar. 1 scoby.

6 tea bags (organic green, black, or white) (60 g).

1/2 cup of liquid starter tea (125 ml).

Note: starter tea is normally made from leftover kombucha.

If you can't get any, use 1 1/4 cup (312 ml) white distilled vinegar or pasteurized apple cider vinegar.

Tools.

In order to make it, you'll need a:.

Glass jar. Piece of cloth or a towel.

Rubber band. Non-metal spoon (wood, etc).

Strainer. Straw. What do I do?.

Keep in mind that the bacterial and fungal culture that will form in the tea can get contaminated by things in the environment when you make it and become harmful to your health.

Therefore, you must completely disinfect your kitchen and wash all tools you'll be using very well with plenty of soap and hot water.

And remember to wash your hands very thoroughly.

"We recommend reading: 8 Tricks to Naturally Disinfect Your Room".

The tea.

Heat the water, and once boiling, add the tea bags.

The steeping time will depend on which tea you use:.

Green tea: 5 minutes. Red tea: 7 minutes.

Black tea: 10 minutes.

The longer it steeps, the stronger and more bitter the end product will be.

Plus, the better quality tea you use, the lower the temperature the water needs to be.

Sweeten the tea.

Add the sweetener (brown or organic sugar) and stir with a spoon.

Make sure it is completely dissolved.

Next, remove from heat and let sit for 4 hours until it reaches room temperature.

Add the kombucha.

Strain the tea into the glass jar where you will ferment the kombucha.

Then, add the kombucha culture and starter tea.

Ferment and bottle.

Cover the jar with a clean towel or cloth and secure it with a rubberband.

Next, store the jar in a place that does not receive sunlight, for 7 to 14 days.

The longer it sits, the stronger and more bitter the end result will be.

Test if it's ready.

You can start testing it after 5 days.

When it's ready, it will have an acidic flavor.

To test it, put a clean straw in it without damaging the fungus that has formed on the top.

Cover the opening of the straw and put the contents into another container by uncovering it.

If it tastes very sweet, cover it again and let it sit longer.

When the it tastes very bitter, it has gone bad, but don't worry, you can use it as vinegar in your salads.

Drink the kombucha and recycle the new fungus.

Start by drinking 1/4 cup (62 ml) of kombucha in the mornings.

As the weeks go by and your body gets used to the tea, you can gradually increase the quantity.

Remember to save at least 10% of the tea (as starter tea) and the scoby that forms on the surface as ingredients for your next batch of kombucha.

"Take a look at this too: Benefits of Taking Brewer's Yeast".
