THE WAY YOU LOOK TONIGHT (Chapter 1)
'Great party, as usual.'
Deborah Robinson looked at Pete Griffin's reddening cheeks and forehead perspiring below thinning brown hair. She'd thought earlier the room was getting a bit stuffy. Pete's condition proved her right. The roaring fire in the fireplace was adding too much heat. 'I'm glad you're enjoying it, Pete,' she said, making a mental note to turn down the thermostat and lower the furnace heat. 'We've never had a party this big.'
'I feel a little out of place with all these attorneys. Am I the only non-lawyer you and Steve know?'
Deborah laughed and started to say, 'Of course not.' Then she glanced around the room. Everyone was either a lawyer or accompanying one. 'It doesn't look like we do, does it? But you know how our Christmas parties usually turn out - gatherings for the people Steve works with in the Prosecutor's office.'
'Well, it was nice of you to invite me anyway.'
'We always invite you. You're one of Steve's oldest friends.'
Pete grinned. 'Steve's just hoping I'll start doing his taxes for free.'
'It's always good to have a CPA on your side, particularly one who owns the largest CPA firm in town. By the way, where's your son?'
'At fifteen, Adam considers himself too cool for parties like this. He's at a friend's house listening to brain-rattling heavy-metal music and complaining because I won't get him a car.'
'He doesn't even have a driver's license yet.'
'Adam considers that a moot point,' Pete said, pulling a droll face. 'He thinks we should be planning and saving. He wants a Viper.'
'Just the thing for a new driver.'
'I agree. A fifteen-year-old with a fifty-thousand-dollar sports car. I get dizzy just thinking about it.'
Deborah laughed. She understood why Pete was Steve's closest friend. Aside from sharing memories dating back to when they were children, Pete was intelligent, unassuming, and always there when you needed him. Deborah had always been particularly fond of him, with his diffident manner which hid a dry humor and iron devotion to the son he'd raised alone after his wife left him three years ago, never even trying to get custody of the child and rarely communicating with him. The last she'd heard, Hope Griffin was in Montana, valiantly working at preserving the environment. 'Save the wolves and abandon your own son,' Deborah's husband Steve had said sourly. 'Now there's a woman with her priorities straight.'
'Personally, I think it would be wonderful to be fifteen and have so many hopes and dreams,' Deborah said, trying to put Pete's concerns over his son's grand ambitions back in perspective. 'I remember at that age I thought I was going to be the next Karen Carpenter.'
Pete smiled. 'And I was going to be the next Frank Lloyd Wright.'
'I didn't know you were interested in architecture.'
'I wasn't after I found out being able to do some oil paintings my grandmother gushed over didn't mean I had a talent for building design.'
'I guess our experiences were similar. All it took for me was hearing a tape of myself singing 'Rainy Days and Mondays" to do the trick. I was horrified. Still, it was fun for a while to believe anything was possible.'
'Adam is still at that stage. He changes his mind nearly every week about what he wants to do with his life. Last week he saw Top Gun again, so now he's going to be a jet pilot. Wait until your little Brian gets to be this age.'
Deborah looked at him in mock horror. 'He's only five. I hope I have a few more peaceful years.'
Pete glanced at his watch. 'I really hate to put a damper on the party, although I don't think I'll be missed, but I told Adam I wanted him home at eleven. I like to be there waiting for him, so I should be going.'
'You could call from here to make sure he's heading home soon.'
'And humiliate him in front of his friends?' Pete shook his head sadly. 'Deborah, you have a lot to learn about teenagers. That would bring on several days of sullen silences and looks full of burning resentment. I don't think I'm up to it. No, I'll just be waiting like a huge mound of conscience when he gets in. If he's not on time, I'll be able to deliver my time-worn speech on trust, responsibility, and the consideration he deserves to give other people, particularly his poor old dad.'
'You're a cruel and heartless man,' Deborah laughed.
'The worst. It's my greatest joy in life.'
Deborah signaled Steve, who was talking to Evan Kincaid. Steve - rangy and earnest-looking although capable of a rare, boyish grin - hurried to her, his light brown hair damp at the hairline, his own color heightened.
'So, how're we doing over here?' he asked easily.
'Pete thinks he should go home to check on Adam.'
'He's not sick, is he?'
'No, just out partying with friends.'
'Is that all? In that case, how about having one drink with me before you go? I think I've got some really good stuff out in the kitchen. Chivas Regal, twelve years old.'
'That's hard to turn down,' Pete said. 'But Adam...'
'Hey, cut the kid some slack, will you? Fifteen minutes isn't such a big deal.'
Pete looked torn, then smiled. 'All right, a quick one and then I'm on the road.'
'Can you do without me for a few minutes?' Steve asked Deborah.
'I'll try to muddle through, but don't you two start talking over the good old high-school days and stay in there for ever.'
'We'll try not to,' Steve laughed over his shoulder as the two started toward the kitchen.
No, they certainly wouldn't, Deborah thought. Pete was much too concerned about Adam to linger for long. He was overprotective with the boy, and according to Steve, had been ever since his divorce. He'd lost his wife and he was afraid of losing his son, too, which was unlikely because beneath Adam Griffin's teenage bravado, he was deeply attached to his father. Still, she knew that Steve, meaning to be kind in asking to have a private drink with Pete, was merely making the man more nervous about his delayed arrival home.
Deborah sighed and gazed around her large living room which had once been divided into two smaller rooms whose different functions she had never been able to determine. Steve had resisted taking out the wall between them - too much trouble, he said - but Deborah insisted. Now the two small rooms formed one spacious room made airy by a huge front window instead of the four small, paned windows that were impossible to clean. Deborah was pleased with the remodeling and thought Steve was, too, although he never said much about her efforts, obviously hoping not to encourage her to make further changes.
The smell of roast duck, candied yams, and mulled wine wafted over her from the buffet table. Her stomach rumbled maddeningly - she'd been so consumed with fixing food for two days it had lost its aesthetic appeal. Empty stomach or not, she didn't feel she could force down a bite. Besides, she was very tired. It seemed every year the party became more elaborate, and she liked to cook everything, not order from a caterer. She now found the parties more exhausting than fun, and the family ended up eating leftovers for days.
She circled around the room, asking if she could freshen drinks, offering cookies and reminding people about all the apple, pumpkin, and mincemeat pie still sitting on the buffet table. One attorney, whose name Deborah could never remember, was holding forth on a case he'd handled last year while his wife interrupted constantly, correcting everything he said, oblivious to the growing coldness of his eyes and tightening of his jaw. The girlfriend of another was talking loudly to a blue-haired matron about a serial killer luridly named 'The Dark Alley Strangler' by a local newspaper. 'It scares me to death to think he struck again just last Saturday night and this time right here in West Virginia,' she was saying. 'That's seven times in three years. And that last girl. Poor thing. She was a nurse with a little kid. She's still hanging on, but they don't expect her to live.'
Deborah cringed. She supposed it was only natural that the serial killer would be mentioned at the party, but this was supposed to be a festive occasion and the discussion of violent death threw a definite pall over the evening. So much for holiday cheer.
Deborah moved on, turning down the thermostat five degrees and seeing that her guests were comfortable. Few were friends of hers. Most of them came from Steve's world, and she sensed a lot of them thought Steve had married beneath himself. Steve told her she was imagining things, but she felt their distance. Part of it was her own fault, though. She wasn't the life of the party or the confident socialite. In fact, she had come to hate the Christmas parties, which had been a pleasant ritual she and Steve started the first year they were married and over the past seven years had turned into an ordeal. Maybe this one would be the last, Deborah mused. Maybe next year she could talk him into having only a few close friends over before Christmas.
She retreated to a corner of the living room, Campari and soda in hand. Light refracted off the layers of smoke. Even the lights on the Christmas tree seemed muted, as if circled by fog. Her eyes stung beneath her contact lenses and although she had given up smoking two years ago, Deborah now felt an overwhelming desire for a cigarette - anything, even if it were one of the reduced tar and nicotine brands she used to hate. She would be tempted to smoke again until the room aired out, which would take a couple of days, she thought unhappily. Thank goodness she and Steve had only one party a year. If the house smelled of smoke too often, she'd never control her urge for nicotine.
She knew she should get out there among the guests and socialize, but her head was starting to hurt, she was dead tired after all her cooking, and she was feeling more and more self-conscious in the white wool dress with scoop neck and gold belt that had drawn Steve's look of censure earlier. 'Don't you think that's a little...revealing?' he'd asked gently. 'Why not wear the black velvet - the one I bought you just last year?' How could she tell him the black velvet dress felt bunchy and hot, its sleeves too tight, its skirt too long even for her five-foot-eight frame? Still, she would have changed to please him if the doorbell hadn't rung just then with the arrival of their first guests.
Deborah smiled across the room at Barbara Levine, her friend and Steve's associate in the Prosecutor's office. She'd met Barbara the first year she worked as a secretary in the office. One dreary November Sunday they ran into each other in a video store, both looking for Dr Zhivago. Barbara had already found the movie and was paying the rental fee when Deborah went to the desk, asking if it were available. The salesgirl told her they had only one copy. 'Oh, I guess I'll look for something else,' she said, disappointed, when Barbara suddenly suggested, 'Why don't you come home with me and watch it?' Stunned at such an invitation from the seemingly all-business, hard-as-nails lawyer who had intimidated her from day one in the office, Deborah had demurred, but Barbara insisted. They watched the movie in Barbara's apartment, eating microwave popcorn ('the only thing I can cook,' Barbara confided) and by the end of the movie they were both in tears when the handsome Zhivago fell dead in the street while chasing his oblivious, beloved Lara. Later they had gone to an Italian restaurant together, and from that day on, Deborah had lost her fear of Barbara. They'd become friends, both with a deep love of animals, romantic movies, and Agatha Christie novels.
Barbara crossed the room to her side. 'Has Steve deserted us?'
'He's in the kitchen having a drink with Pete.' Barbara smiled.
'Pete's such a nice guy. I wonder why he never remarried.'
'I suppose because he was so badly burned the first time. And he devotes a lot of time to Adam and the grandmother in Wheeling who raised him after his parents died. She's in her eighties and has a lot of health problems.'
'None of those reasons seem good enough for him to have cut himself off from a social life,' Barbara said. 'He needs a girlfriend, someone with some life who'll make him start acting his age. And make him get a new wardrobe. His clothes all look too big, not to mention years out of date. I'm no fashion plate myself, but it seems like he's trying to look ten years older than he is.'
'Remarks like that won't earn you a visit from Santa.'
Barbara giggled, her laughter softening her dark, hawk-like features. When she was young, she'd probably been attractive in a chiseled, dramatic way, Deborah often thought. But at thirty-eight, after fifteen years of twelve-hour work days and little in the way of beauty care, she usually looked thin, tense, and slightly weather-beaten with her uncreamed skin and face naked of make-up except for a careless slash of lipstick. Tonight she'd chosen an unflattering bright pink. Right now some of that pink decorated a front tooth, but Deborah had learned how defensive Barbara could be about her appearance.
'By the way, you look great,' Barbara said. 'I knew that dress was for you as soon as we spotted it in the store window.'
'Steve doesn't like it.'
'No, probably not. He's a sweet man, but he wants you to look a dowdy sixty-year-old instead of a sexy twenty-eight-year-old.'
'Oh, Barbara, he doesn't.'
'Yes, he does. He doesn't want you flying the coop into the arms of some other guy.'
'That's hardly likely. Besides, you think Steve's a lot more Machiavellian than he is.'
'Says you. You've been brainwashed into thinking you aren't anything special in the looks department. I, on the other hand, am beginning to resemble my mother, and she is in her sixties.' She held up a chocolate almond cookie she'd been munching. 'And these don't help maintain a girlish figure.'
'Barbara, you're thin as a rail.'
'Flabby thin, not taut thin like you.'
'You don't run after five-year-old twins and a dog all day. But in any case you do not look like you're in your sixties.'
'Well, I at least look every year of my age plus a few more.'
Yes, she did look every year of her age, Deborah thought with regret. It was no wonder everyone had been surprised when Barbara began dating Evan Kincaid, seven years Barbara's junior and considered the glamour boy of the Prosecutor's office. According to Steve, some of the young secretaries could barely hide their jealousy and constantly made catty remarks behind Barbara's back about the relationship. 'But I understand it,' Steve said. 'Barbara's a brilliant, witty woman. Besides, Evan isn't one to judge by exteriors.'
'He's like you in that respect.'
Steve smiled. 'Sweetheart, you're a very nice-looking woman.'
Nice-looking, Deborah thought dismally. Nice-looking with her long black hair Steve liked to see pulled back in a French braid and serious blue-gray eyes usually hidden behind glasses she wore when working, nice-looking with her tall, slender frame he preferred in simple clothes, nice-looking with her smooth, creamy skin which cosmeticians at the department store makeup counters claimed was more like that of a woman five years younger. Nice-looking, but not a beauty like some of his former girlfriends had been.
'A quarter for your thoughts,' Barbara said.
'A quarter?'
'I was just thinking about some of the women Steve used to date. Where's my quarter?'
'I don't have my purse with me. And why in the world would you be thinking about women Steve used to date?'
'Do you remember the ones who used to come by the office? They were so flashy. I wonder why he picked me.'
'Maybe because they were all flash and no substance. I remember giving him a stern talking-to about that one time.'
'I'm sure he appreciated it.'
'He told me to mind my own business. But shortly afterward he started dating you. Smartest move he ever made.'
'Spoken like a true friend. Some of them even had money.'
'Money?' Evan Kincaid said, walking up and putting his arm around Barbara's waist. 'Are you two discussing the root of all evil?'
Barbara made a face. 'He's not only great-looking, he's a mind-reader.'
'No, a lip-reader,' Evan laughed. 'I've been hovering nearby, although you two were too engrossed to notice me.'
'Deborah is torturing herself by wondering why Steve didn't marry some flashy woman with money.'
Evan shook his head. 'Sometimes I think you women look for something to worry about.'
Barbara threw Deborah a wry look. 'Men, of course, never worry.'
Evan laughed. 'Not like you do. In any given day the love of my life here thinks of at least twenty things to fret over.'
'I do not!' Barbara protested in offended rage, although she couldn't hide her pleasure at hearing Evan call her the love of his life. They had been seeing each other for nine months, and Barbara had confided that the last two hadn't been smooth. 'He thinks I pull rank on him because I'm older,' Barbara said. 'You do,' Deborah returned frankly. Barbara looked sheepish. 'I know. I hear myself doing it, but I can't seem to stop.'
Now, however, Barbara glowed as she looked adoringly up at the blond, blue-eyed Evan who Deborah thought resembled a young Robert Redford.
The resemblance was even more pronounced than usual tonight. Maybe it was the lighting, or maybe it was that Evan looked more relaxed than he often did. Either he and Barbara were getting along better, or the drinks had erased some tension from his incredibly handsome face.
Evan raised his eyebrows enquiringly, and Deborah realized she was staring at him. 'Can I fix the two of you fresh drinks?' she asked quickly.
'I think I've had my limit,' Evan said, holding up a half-empty glass. 'Barbara?'
'This mulled wine is delicious, but powerful. One more glass and I'll start telling dirty jokes.'
'Cut her off, Deborah,' Evan said abruptly. 'Dirty or clean, she couldn't tell a joke right if her life depended on it.'
'That is not true,' Barbara retorted. 'I heard a hilarious one just today. You see, there was this--'
'Oh, God,' Evan groaned in exaggerated dismay.
'I have to check on things in the kitchen,' Deborah laughed, turning away from them.
'Coward,' Evan muttered.
Steve was closing the back door behind Pete when she walked into the kitchen. 'Everything okay?'
He glanced at her, relief showing in his green eyes which had looked tired and a little bloodshot lately. 'Yeah. I wish the guy would let up on Adam. He acts like some old-maid aunt or something.'
Deborah put her arms around his neck. 'Honey, saying "old maid" is no longer politically correct. And why does everyone act like overprotection is the sole domain of women?'
Steve raised an eyebrow at her. 'Mrs Robinson, drink has loosened your tongue. However, I stand corrected.'
'Thank you for allowing me to speak my mind. You're simply too kind,' Deborah said drily.
'No, I'm simply tired to my bones, not to mention a little worried about Pete. I wonder what will happen to him when Adam leaves home and he doesn't have anyone to stew over?'
'Barbara thinks he should find some nice woman.'
'That would be a perfect solution. But he's lived alone so long. And he was never a ladies' man, even when we were young. Then there's the fact that he's been very successful. He could get entangled with someone who's just after his money. I guess any romantic pairing is a risk, though.'
'Is that how you felt about our marriage?'
Steve tightened his arms around her waist. 'No. I knew we'd work out.'
Although he smelled strongly of the cigarette smoke that was stirring Deborah's desire for nicotine, she loved his embrace. Steve was not a demonstrative man and if he hadn't recently consumed a few drinks, he probably wouldn't be hugging her in the kitchen with twenty guests in the living room. Knowing this, however, only slightly lessened Deborah's pleasure. She stood on tiptoe and kissed him lightly. 'I'm glad we got married.'
'Are you?' Steve asked.
Deborah pulled back, looking at him. He seemed troubled. 'Of course. Why do you ask?'
'Because sometimes I think you're disappointed in me.'
And sometimes she was, Deberah thought guiltily. Sometimes she wished she'd married a man who loved her passionately instead of caring for her in the steady, distant way that was Steve's. But those kind of dreams should have been left behind in her teenage years, she reminded herself. This was real life, not one of her cherished romantic movies. Steve wasn't the poet Yuri Zhivago and she wasn't the tragic, dazzling Lara. As her father had often told her, she wasn't beautiful, or talented, or especially intelligent. She was just an ordinary woman whose only gift lay in the ability to keep house and cook well. He'd been disapproving when she'd become a secretary in the Prosecutor's office in Charleston instead of marrying Billy Ray Soames, the Baptist preacher back home in southern West Virginia. Later, his anger at her for marrying a man she'd dated for only two months had been totally out of proportion. In fact, he and her mother had visited only twice during her marriage - once when the twins Brian and Kimberly were born, and again last year when they were passing through Charleston on a rare vacation. In return, Deborah had taken the children to visit them only three times. As a result, Brian and Kimberly were barely aware of their grandparents' existence.
'I'm not disappointed in you,' Deborah said, jerking herself out of her thoughts. 'You're a wonderful man.'
Steve's eyes crinkled at the corners as he smiled down at her. 'And you're a wonderful woman.'
Deborah cocked an eyebrow at him. 'We have to stop these torrid exchanges when we have guests.' Steve laughed, and Deborah felt immeasurably relieved that he appeared more at ease. For the last couple of days he'd seemed morose, distracted, irritable. She knew something was wrong, but he wouldn't discuss the problem.
She hugged him fiercely. 'Hey, trying to break my ribs?'
'Sorry.' She released her hold. 'You know I always get emotional at Christmas.'
'You get emotional over every holiday. That enthusiasm is one of your most endearing traits. It's great for the kids, too. You make holidays an event for them.'
'I just remember when I was a child and my father did nothing but complain about the commercialism of holidays and where had people's values gone, and of course there was no Santa Claus and no Easter Bunny, what nonsense, etcetera, etcetera. It ruined everything for Mom and me.'
'Well, no one could accuse your father of getting a real bang out of life.'
'That's putting it mildly.'
The phone rang and Steve reached for the cordless extension on the kitchen counter. 'I'll get it. And right before I came in here, I noticed we were getting low on ice. There's no more left in the freezer.'
'There's a bag in the deep freezer in the garage. You take care of the phone and I'll take care of the ice.'
Opening the kitchen door into the garage, Deborah was at first shocked by the difference in temperature. Then she gratefully breathed in the cold, clear air. The heat and smoke and noise inside had been aggravating her dull headache. She flipped on the garage light and glanced at her watch: 11.15. The party would be winding up in about half an hour. Some of the guests had already left. Thank goodness. Although she'd have a ton of food to put away, maybe within a couple of hours she could get her aching feet out of these new and very tight high-heeled shoes and into her bed. She was exhausted and felt like she could sleep until noon tomorrow.
She lifted the heavy freezer lid. Frosty air wafted up, making her gasp. As she leaned over, she spotted something red atop the foil-wrapped meats. Brian's toy fire truck. She pulled it out, alarmed. Obviously the kids had been playing and managed to open the freezer. What if one of them decided to climb in? It wouldn't take long to smother if help didn't arrive immediately, and she couldn't keep her eyes on both children constantly, especially since she did so much clerical work at home. Presently she was typing a would-be author's manuscript which contained grammatical errors in almost every sentence. She spent hours poring over grammar books so she could prove to the defensive author that she wasn't making up rules as she went along. She would put a lock on the freezer, she decided. She'd buy a padlock tomorrow.
She lay the toy truck, coated with a heavy layer of frost, on the floor and lifted the bag of ice. As she was coming back into the kitchen, Steve flashed her a quick, almost apprehensive look. 'Certainly. Thank you for calling,' he said stiffly into the receiver, then hung up. 'Here. Let me help with the ice.'
'Who was on the phone?' Deborah handed him the cold plastic bag. His hands shook slightly.
'Joe?' Joe Pierce was an investigator with the Prosecutor's office. 'Why is he calling at this hour?'
'News about a case.'
'He's working past eleven o'clock on a Saturday night? Is that why he didn't come to the party?'
'I think he had a hot date.'
'Women are allowed at the party.'
'I don't believe chit-chatting with people from the office is what he had in mind for tonight. Anyway, you know how he is,' Steve said distractedly, setting the bag of ice in the sink. 'He works with us but he's not prone to socializing with us.'
'Well, why was he calling? To give you a bulletin on his date?'
'Hardly. He just thought of something that might help me.'
'And this thought came to him during his hot date? Things can't be going too well,' Deborah joked. Steve didn't answer. His forehead was creased and he tore into the bag of ice with unnecessary aggression. Her smile faded. 'What case are you two working on?'
'I need the ice bucket.' Deborah stared at him, puzzled. Was he paler? Did his eyes look even more troubled than they had for the past couple of days?
'Steve, is something--'
'I said I need the ice bucket. It's in the living room.'
'I heard you. Why are you acting so strange?'
'I'm not acting strange,' Steve snapped. 'This stuff is cold. It's ice, you know. Would you please get me the bucket?'
Deborah bit back a retort. She usually didn't question Steve about cases, but he'd been so edgy lately and something Joe told him had obviously agitated him further. Clearly, though, he had no intention of confiding in her.
It's probably nothing, she told herself as she walked back into the living room to retrieve the ice bucket. He's just been working too hard lately and the strain is beginning to tell. In a couple of weeks, when the holidays are over, everything will be fine and we'll return to our humdrum routine.
Unfortunately, she didn't believe herself for one minute.

Andrea, First Named Storm Of 2013 Season, Forms In Gulf
Tropical Storm Andrea, the first named storm of the new hurricane season, has formed in the eastern portion of the Gulf of Mexico. Forecasters expect the storm to bring heavy rains to Florida before moving up the East Coast.
The National Hurricane Center announced the development Wednesday afternoon, as it issued a tropical storm warning for Florida's western coast from Boca Grande to the Ochlockonee River. A tropical storm watch is in effect for the next two days for a broad area between Flagler Beach, Fla., and Surf City, N.C.
The center is updating a map on its website, showing Andrea's position.
As The Two Way reported last month, "The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration believes that this year, there is a 70 percent chance of 13 to 20 named storms, with winds of 39 mph or higher, of which seven to 11 of them could become full-blown hurricanes, with winds 74 mph or higher."
The North Atlantic hurricane season runs from June to the end of November.

Great selection of beer. many craft breweries sold here. Remember to ask for whats behind the counter!
JCW (142) Cincinnati, Ohio | August 9, 2011
Best store I could find to buy craft beer in the Lake Mary area. As the previous reviewer stated, it had a reasonable to good selection of wine, beer, booze, and cigars. Can make mix sixes or just buy singles. Serves was a good as I needed it(I dont usually ask for much help buying beer).
SanfordBrewer (39) Sanford, Florida | September 10, 2010| Updated October 10, 2013
Clean and spacious store with a great selection and good prices. Good size cooler, and a small rack of random singles, but you can take singles of anything you want, and then get a discount for making your own mix-pack. Decent selection of wine, spirits, and cigars too. Theyve recently added a growler filling station!

My 16 yo SS told me he is stressed out about money. His mom is only giving him a $15 allowance every 2 weeks. We live in the city, and that is not even enough for popcorn and a movie. He is starting to spend more time with his friends, and has a gf now. His mom says he needs to get a job if he wants more money.
Would you give your kids a higher allowance as they get older and help them pay for recreational activies such as going to the movies, lunch, dances, etc.?
Sidenote: SS does great in school and has never been in any trouble. We also pay a fair amount of child support and see him regularly. Both households in this scenario live comfortably and aren't necessarily stuggling financially.

Mussels in Yummilicious Lemongrass Broth
Total Time
Prep 5 mins
Cook 10 mins
This is an extremely yummy treat. Really fast to make, and extremely tasty. The lemongrass gives it a wonderful flavour and fragrance. I found this in Donna Hay's Food Fast cookbook.
Ingredients Nutrition
- 3 cups fish stock
- 2 tablespoons shredded ginger
- 2 stalks lemongrass, finely chopped
- 2 teaspoons shredded fresh lemon rind
- 1 kg mussels, cleaned
- Place stock, ginger, lemongrass and lemon rind in a saucepan over high heat.
- Bring the broth to the boil then add the mussels and cook for 2-3 minutes or until the mussels open.
- Discard any mussels that don't open.
- Serve mussels in deep bowls with the broth and some bread or with some cooked pasta.
Most Helpful
Great treat is right - I did change the broth - I didn't have any fish broth so I used chicken broth - it worked! I will try this recipe with the fish broth next time. Main thing is we really enjoyed the mussels.

Youth at Work: Jessica Decker
Published: Saturday, August 30, 2014 at 10:30 p.m.
Last Modified: Saturday, August 30, 2014 at 10:30 p.m.
After two summers in the Summer Youth Employment Program, Jessica Decker has built up her résumé. Last year, it was stocking shelves at Party City, and this summer it was a job at Brilliant Minds Early Learning Academy in Mulberry.
TODAY: With finding a summer job quite difficult for teens and young adults these days, we take a look at four participants in the Summer Youth Employment Program.
MONDAY: How do Polk County employers convince young adults to stay and work in the county? A look at one city's answer to the dilemma.
"I like it — working with the kids, and you get to play with them, too," she said. "Keeping the toys organized is a big one, and sanitizing them so they don't get sick."
Originally from Wilkes Barre, Pa., Decker was adopted into a foster family when she was 7 years old. She helps take care of her two younger foster sisters at home in Mulberry, so the job at Brilliant Minds was a natural fit.
"I felt like I would do a good job with this kind of work," she said.
Decker said she has struggled with dyslexia before, and she also said she has been working on her communication skills. Talking to kids' parents at Brilliant Minds has helped her open up, she said.
Earning her own money has felt good, she said. Decker has been saving up for a car the past two summers, and she was able to treat her family to dinner.
With a year left until graduation from Mulberry Christian Academy, she has been thinking about a career in culinary arts. She would maybe like to enroll at Le Cordon Bleu College in Orlando.
"I want to own my own bakery," she said. "I love cooking. My (biological) sister taught me to cook and she's a chef" in Pennsylvania.
Decker is shy, but she has a good attitude, said Tisa McNeil-Robinson, director at Brilliant Minds.
"She's been eager to learn and grow," McNeil-Robinson said. "I think she's done really well."

CERN may have discovered a new particle, and it's even more elusive that the Higgs boson.
Physicists across the globe are apparently revving up with thrill after the biggest atom smasher of the world begins whirring again to produce data.
It turns out that CERN's Large Hadron Collider has discovered a new class of particles known as pentaquarks. The new discovery could herald a new way to think about particle physics.
CERN's Large Hadron Collider (LHC) has officially started delivering physics data for the first time in 27 months.
The world's most powerful particle accelerator has started up once more. After two years of upgrades and repairs, proton beams once again circulated around the Large Hadron Collider.
Last year, CERN announced that it had discovered a new elementary particle, the Higgs particle, also long known as the 'God particle.' Now, scientists are taking a second look at the finding and believe that this particle wasn't the Higgs particle at all and may just look like it.
Future areas may include the development and characterization of innovative materials for applications in extreme conditions and for cutting-edge scientific performances, the development of new micro-technologies to be applied in miniaturized distributed sensor systems and the development and testin...
Research output amounts to much more than just academic papers. It is important that underlying datasets, and the software used to analyze them, are also properly cited and that the researchers behind these are given credit for their work.
Ever-cheaper sensing and data-storage technologies are driving an explosion in data across many fields of science, as well as for businesses of all sizes.
The Future Circular Collider (FCC) could have a circumference of 80 to 100 kilometres (the LHC has a circumference of 27km), but first a five-year exploratory study will be carried out to look into the feasibility and cost of various different machines.
The ASACUSA experiment at CERN has succeeded for the first time in producing a beam of antihydrogen atoms.
The giant Large Hadron Collider at CERN's lab in Europe may be closed until 2015 but experiments will still be run there in the second half of this year on much smaller synchrotrons that examined the decay of particles into electrons, muons and neutrinos, all of which belong in a family called lep...

Skip to comments.Palin: Tea partiers have 'no choice' but Romney; 'Of course they're going w/ anybody but Obama'
Posted on 08/13/2012 1:19:38 PM PDT by 2ndDivisionVet
click here to read article
Suicide, I am afraid that's your only way out.
Your right, we should obey the people who lead us to where we are today because they were not brave enough to stand up to the left. Romney is now mister nice guy. He could treat his primary opponents like trash; lie, cheat and steal in the primary, but God forbid he say anything too nasty about Obama. Any Freeper here could come up with plenty he could say, but he won't because he, like McCain, doesn't want to make the left and the media mad. He wants to be their friends.
Sorry, I don't believe the world will end because of Obama. That's the left and gop-e tactic to force us to vote as they want. The people in the military will obey the president to a point—my husband was in the military and works for & with them. Yes there are some K/A's, but our troops will stand up to evil when they see clearly what is happening.
I am more fearful that we might not have any election this year. Obama's zombies will stop at nothing if they know they are about to lose
I read that Reagan didn't become a registered Republican until he was 51, and that he was a long-time admirer of FDR. Politicians sometimes change their views. Time will tell whether Romney is sincere or not.
I'm willing to look at where Romney's ended up, rather than where he started, with the hope that his metamorphosis is real. But as you say, with sufficient conservative pressure, the point is moot.
In reference to the similarity with Paul Ryan, what I meant was that they are both intelligent, logical and analytical, particularly in regard to fiscal matters, which would be a massive improvement over the current economic idiocy emanating from the White House at present.
Do you always have to be rude and flip with your comments? You know what, I'm not even going to respond to your crap.
That's how I see it. That's why I can't get so enthused about this time.
Acts of civil disobedience are welcome.Just stay home. Let things get real bad so we can actually rid ourselves of the entire lot of them , progressives and leftists. Let the parasites eat themselves out of house and home.
Why vote for Romney? He will refuse to undo most of what Obama has done, allowing the People to be enslaved.Ryan is just bait to get Tea Partiers to vote. We learned all that with McCain/Palin and its post election analysis in 2008, and the Palin Rope a Dope up to " I am not running!." So SICK!.
Stay home, and let the RNC and the DNC eat the cake of their own undoing. I would love to see the GOP dead, out of business, a defunct party which is out of touch with the people. I have no intention of legitimizing them in any way, certainly not with my conservative vote.
The GOP has one last chance to put a conservative in as the nominee instead of Romney, at the GOP convention, and if they do not, then the GOP can join the ranks of the history of the extinct.
The future of the USA is in the Tea Party, not in the GOP and why should the Tea Party join the GOP to defeat Obama, we can do it ourselves, without ANY GOP in 2016?
I don't like Romney. Never have. But, I like Ryan a lot. Romney showed me with his choice of VP that he is willing to make bold moves. Like it or not, we either get behind this ticket and support it or we have 4 more years of Obummer. This is not rocket science. If the ticket is good enough for Palin, Gingrich, Cain and others who I've supported and respect, then it's good enough for me. Not great... but, good enough.
Third Party, you say?
Why sure, just go ahead and vote for John Banner then.
Four words Sarah; John Goode, Gary Johson. FU Mittens, Ryan is a lapdog. If you think Mitt is turning right you are smoking something
We must all hang together behind Romney, or most assuredly we shall all ride separately in the boxcars to the re-education camps.
Bill Ayers would not waste a train trip on us, he will put a bullet in our head right in our front yard and leave the body to be buried by our families, if he leaves them alive.
Laughing out loud as I post.
This guy needs to speak to Ted Cruz, Todd Akin, Richard Mourdock, etc.
Politicians sometimes change their views. Time will tell whether Romney is sincere or not.
I am very much hoping that Romney is the man who spoke to the student body at the Citadel this year. If he is that man then he will eclipse Reagan making him look like a weak kneed moderate.
But and it's a big but, I expect Romney will work hard at gaffing his way to defeat and I am already certain it will be deliberate.
I think it means that there are 3 bases of republicanism — fiscons, socons, defcons. Romney's got the fiscons, probably the defcons. He's throwing us socons under the bus.
Conservatives are no longer the base of the GOP. They never liked us and now they think they can operate without us. They may be right, maybe win this election without us because zer0bama is such a crappy president.
No matter who wins this next election, conservatism loses.
Sarah clearly identifies with the "Tea Partiers". Read her lips:
"'Of course, WE're going to go with anybody but Obama'"
Palin is not "choosing" Romney. She will, as will I, be voting
Hey maybe he meant "Spawn"? as in Spawn of Satan.ha.
Sarah is right—We MUST support Romney and Ryan and give them a Tea Party Congress and Senate. I bet —with TEA party support Romney may well become another Reagan-—When his two terms are up they will be carving his face on mountains. Just a guess—and I have been wrong in the past-—but it is possible.
John Banner is the gop-e.
The late John Banner played the part of Sgt. Schultz on Hogan's Heroes. I didn't realize he was a politician prior to his death................
I'm with Sarah, ABO and *I* have her back and their back this time around.
I think Catholics are also a cult, because they follow orders from the Pope. We had a catholic president named JFK, and he was the first president to push for and get passed tax reduction, during my lifetime. He turned out just fine.
If Romney is elected I could'nt give a rat's behind about his religion since he is not running for Pope. His dad was also most likely the same religion as him, and he was a very popular governor of Michigan for many years. I am not aware of any Mormon edicts he forced on Michiganites.
I have 2 kids about to graduate from the 27th highest rated university in the WORLD, university of Washington. My biggest issue is if there will be suitable jobs for them or they will end up as statistics along with the 50% college grads who can't find jobs. It is obvious if Obama gets 4 more years, the economy will look like Greece.
My issue is economy, not religion.
"I worked for both Presidents Reagan and Carter, as well as Generals Haig, Vessey, Ross, Kingston and others, writing reports, analysis, summaries and assisting in briefings. You are WAY off base here. Do you truly believe that Mr. Obama is better on national defense and social issues than a President Romney would be? If so, have your family commit you on a 72 hour hold."
Well isn't that lovely! And totally irrelevant. I don't care if you once served under U.S. Grant, R.E. Lee, John J. Pershing, George Washington...et.Al. That doesn't make you any of them....and it has no bearing on what I asked. (BTW - IF you insist on continuing to wrap yourself in a U.S. flag by quoting your "brillant" military career...we are going to have to bury you....stop it - it is immodest and sounds like a PX trooper)
Palin ONLY mentioned FISCAL CONSERVATIVES as the "Base" of the party. Why did she not mention the others? Especially the SOCONs. I want to know IF she has sold us out like the rest of the GOP establishment.
I DO question Romney's military credentials. He was playing Mormon Missionary selling snake oil when he should have been serving in the military. Of course, Obama was being a community organizer. In my thinking a Mormon spreading a false Gospel is NO better than a community organizer spreading racial division; both are snake oil - both hurt people. Either man is ONLY as good as the military officers he surrounds himself with. I don't know what Romney will pick as military advisors...maybe that new Lesbian general? After all, he is for homosexuals (more than Ted Kennedy!). She out to be a good advisor to him.
On Moral issues. Well, Myths record is pretty bad....just as Obama's is. I see no gain in that arena.
So, it looks like ONLY fiscal conservatives will benefit from a Myth election.
Why else did Sarah say what she did. I am concerned and feel betrayed by her. Once again here is a direct quote from the article you posted:
Its all about the independents, Shannon, Palin said. We dont have to just keep on preaching to the choir, there, of the hardcore base of fiscal conservatives within the Republican Party we got em; Romneys got em. Weve got to reach the independents.
Sarah...what about SOCONs? What about DEFCONs? Sarah....what in the world are you saying????
Even Democrats are taxed enough already.
Let's oust zero, then work on the other two legs, because we won't be able to work on ANY of the three legs until he's gone.
Patience, don't cut off your nose to spite your face.
Why don't you ask her?
I have friends and family members who abhor abortion but have been wishy-washy about the abortion issue. SOme of them have come to realize that the law itself matters; others, I'm still working on.
Let's give converts to the pro-life position credit for their sincerity and turn on them only if they actually betray the cause. (Here's an example of a faux pro-lifer: Bob Casey Jr in Pennsylvania. He is ostensibly pro-life, but worked hard to elect Obama. He can go scrath.)

You say that like it's a bad thing. This country has needed a second revolution since at least its 200th birthday.
I don't know..lost your sense of humor again?
sorry dude - didn't hear the laugh track...
"Patience, don't cut off your nose to spite your face."
No damnable fool. You cowardly surrender monkeys that are wanting to elect a abortionist, homophile, big goverment statest, and Mormon Cultist are the ones CUTTING FOR YOUR NOSE TO SPITE YOUR FACE. He is NO better than Obama. As JR is finding out, Romney learned his ability to lie from his Mormon Missionary training. They are very good at deceiving the population.
This ONE THING AT A TIME nonsense keeps getting pushed around. It is just more of the same lies that I have been voting for since 1976. The GOPe has been telling lies to SOCONS since I have been voting. I have held my nose and let them lie to me for all those years. NO MORE. Either give me an acceptable (folks - I' NOT asking for perfect - just a balanced SOCON, DEFCON, and FISCON) candidate I can vote for. At best Romney is only a FISCON; and I doubt that is true. His record in Mass. is deplorable in the extreme. He has already said he will do NOTHING about the homosexual agenda or attempt to turn back the repeal of DADT foisted on us by a lame duck congress. ALL THAT MATTERS TO ROMNEY IS TO MAKE THE COUNTRY SUITABLE FOR MORMON EVANGELIZATION. That IS NOT a good thing.
I would rather vote third party and hold Obama in check. Strangely, he is the ONLY thing that currently (remotely) unites the GOP. Take him away and all HELL will break lose. Only a true conservative GOP POTUS tied to a GOP controlled congress will do good. A liberal GOP POTUS tied to a GOP congress will produce LIBERAL things. At least the OBAMINATION forces the GOP to unite to hold him in check. It won't happen under ROMNEY. Ryan will have ZERO positive effect on Romney and he will do more good staying in the House.
Romney is a total phoney. Only fools buy into his baloney.
I WILL NOT SUPPORT HIM ANYMORE THAN I WILL OBAMA. However, Obama CAN be used to keep a united front against him and keep getting us more seats in congress. A Romney administration will be a disaster that will lose seats and then lose reelection.
STOP trying to push Romney Cyanide Koolaid on folks and think the intelligent ones will drink it without a bloody fight.
"Why don't you ask her?"
I checked the link. There is no viable way to ask her questions for answer. The sight exists solely for her to give her views....not get REAL feedback.
Patience, soon we will end GOP-e once and for all.
Then FRiend, for goodness sake, IF you really hate Romney then don't support him. What follows is a really good quote of Jim Robinson that he posted today:
Bottom line, its all about religion. This country and our constitutional government was founded on Judeo-Christian principles and beliefs and will work under no other belief system. Our rights come from God, not government. Look it up.
The godless left has been working to destroy that through their liberal progressive statist politics ever since the founding. And theyve made great strides in that direction since WWII. Obama and Romney are two sides of the same godless liberal progressive coin.
Oh, you say hes a devout Mormon so how can he be godless?
Well, the same way that the godless leftist Harry Reid claims to be a devout Mormon and the godless abortionists Obama, Pelosi, Biden, et al, claim to be devout Christians.
These people are pure evil and theyre trying to turn our constitution on its head. As Ryan readily admits, our rights DO come from God and our constitution was designed to defend them and to RESTRICT government from intruding into areas of no constitutional concern to it.
Must I remind you that the lying etch-a-sketch myth Romney advocated nothing but godless leftist positions including abortion, homosexualism and statism for almost the entirety of his adult life while at the same time claiming to be a devout Mormon and high up muckety muck in his church!!
This is EVIL!! Romney is an evil godless man and he lies for power!!
I figured anyone who doesn't know what Governor Sarah Palin did in 2010 and then for Speaker Newt Gingrich this year, yet belongs to FR, must have been out of touch, a shut-in or in a coma. You're saying you weren't?
Well, I support Paul Ryan. Is that OK?
There is a dropdown menu in response to the question "Why are you contacting us?" One of the listed responses is "General Contact". After listing your own contact information, there is a text box marked "Your Message", where you can type your questions, and a button where you can submit them.
Seems like it's a pretty "viable" way to ask a question.
Just say'n.
Yeh, she's a real sellout! ;-)
Sure doesn't sound that way to me:
When asked if she would endorse and stump for the presumptive GOP ticket, Palin responded, Oh, 100 percent in support; Im all in for Romney and Ryan.
"Well, I support Paul Ryan. Is that OK?"
I will speak no ill of Ryan save the company he keeps and allies himself to in the form of Romney. Were Ryan the candidate, and another his running mate....I WOULD vote for Ryan. However, I cannot vote for Romney. As Jim Robinson said, and I have also, Romney is evil.
Obama is very obvious an clear evil like a known poison - you recognize what you are getting. Romney is more insidious. Romney is chocolate covered poison....that makes him even more evil in my thinking. He is deadly, in in stealth fashion. And he deceives good people with his lies, just as he does as a Mormon peddling a false belief and perversion of real Christianity.
What you said. The country's done if the Kenyan Marxist bastard gets another term, it's as simple as that.
The "TEA Party" is free to organize itself and conduct a convention at which it can propose its own candidate for the Presidency.
The reason I don't see this happening is because most TEA Partiers recognize that if they can't convince a majority of Republicans to their way of thinking, then there is little chance that they will be able to convince a majority of Americans to adopt their principles.
Whichever party wins, there are going to be great changes in our future and great suffering. It will be helpful during the difficult times ahead if we manage to avoid having a Supreme Court which rules that people have a "right" to Social Security, or a "right" to publicly financed healthcare, or a "right" to publicly financed contraceptives.
We won't avoid that if Obama wins. The suffering will be compounded and last generations if the Supreme Court basically orders the government to raise taxes and print money.
I see no fiscal miracle wherein Romney/Ryan or any alternative candidates solve America's problems in a single term or two terms. There is no way to solve the problem of having committed 100 trillion dollars of future taxes for spending on unConstitutional entitlement programs. Whoever is your ideal candidate, there is no way that such a candidate would be able to accomplish very much.
The reality is that we can't pay for what has been committed whether the economy grows or not, whether taxes are raised, lowered, or remain the same, and whether the Federal Reserve prints boxcars full of cash or not.
Maybe it is because Romney's words don't match his acts. In cases like that, I look at what people have done, not what they are saying.
Romney has spent the past two presidential election cycles lying about Reagan. He has said that Reagan was pro-choice like him, which is a lie. Reagan signed a law that was less pro-life than before but it never came close to stating a woman had a right to murder her child as Romney did. That difference did not serve Romney's cause so he ignored it, preferring to assassinate Reagan's character and memory than tell the truth. Of course Reagan was no longer around to defend himself which was all the better for Romney. He could pretend without anyone confronting him.
Reagan's remorse was obvious and immediate when he saw what the dems did to the abortion law allowing for the health of the mother. With Romney's so called conversion, he believes that human embryos should still be used in experimentation and abortions are ok as long as they are a part of Romneycare or the if individual state says it is ok to murder the innocent. Romney says he is pro-life but to this very day he continues to extol Romneycare which provides $50.00 and free abortions. No remorse. No I'm sorry I ever signed that. Nothing but how much he believes it is the conservative answer to healthcare.
So, you tell me, which should we believe, the words of a pathological liar or his actions which prove him to be a liar.
The reality is that we can't pay for what has been committed whether the economy grows or not, whether taxes are raised, lowered, or remain the same, and whether the Federal Reserve prints boxcars full of cash or not. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Exactly. And then what? We conservatives have them exactly where we want them.Down and OUT for good.
We end them at the ballot box or on the streets. Makes little difference to me at this point.
As a matter of fact , this social evolution is inescapable, and so lets get on with it.Let the progressives of the GOP and the Liberal fascists of the Dem party do their worst. They will anyway, no matter who is elected, Romney or Obama.
We conservatives must remain and continue to organize to take our country back. That does not mean accepting Mitt Romney as a presidential candidate, which leads entirely away from what the Tea Party represents.Sarah Palin , as it turns out, is as bad as all the rest. She heard her nations call, and turned us down.
So here we are, going into November, and on our own without any viable conservative representation on the presidential ticket. And we have the bastids of the GOP and the DP right where we want them: over extended, Utopian, and ready to FAIL. The People will not stand much of it any longer, whether its from Obama or Romney.
The Tea Party will save our nation, all we have to do is remain organized, and be ready to represent Americans and enforce the constitution, because its as sure as hell that no one else will.
Sarah is right - you Obama sycophants and lovers have a seriously twisted agenda.
Can you crackpots get a room already? I see the same delusional bs from the paulbots.
Various FReepers have said all those things about Sarah. They are still mad at her for not running.

Tales of Xillia character designs updated to show the size of the world
Tales of Xillia takes a break from the stylistic leanings of past Tales games in order to show off its expanded game world, according to director Hideo Baba.
Speaking to the PS Blog, Baba said he thinks the combat system is one of the most important additions in the new entry, but also noted the sudden visual update Xillia brings to the franchise.
"The portrayal of the game world and its atmosphere has also changed a lot too. In the previous games the characters were very deformed – they were much shorter," he noted.
"But with Xillia the team has tried to show the characters in realistic proportions so that we can really convey the huge size of the world more effectively. The player can really feel how large the world is now."
Xillia, the thirteenth mothership entry in the long-running RPG series, was the first to break away from the chibi or super-deformed look of past entries. It released in Japan in 2011, but is on its way to western PlayStation 3 consoles in 2013. A sequel hits Japan later this year.

another Loki
Это мое любимое у вас!
I ADORE ever so much that you tie Loki, Odin and Thor together with stunning, delicate, and Regal Eye Flourishes <3 x <3
My personal favourite myth involving the Trickster. Wonderful work!
I love you myth art
Marvelous Loki! I especially love his braids and the feathered cloak. (Did he ever get a falcon cloak of his own, do you think, or did he keep borrowing/stealing the goddesses'?)
another gorgeous piece, i love to see how much effot you put in your paintings, the level of details are always amazing
Beautiful feathers! I love all of your Lokis...
Very intricate and detailed.
Oh man almost how I view him!
Yeah, I like your take on Loki as well. Nice stuff.
Your rendition of Loki is amazing!

We've been hearing from scores of people who are complaining about calls they're getting from a company called Total Home Services.
The person on the line says a roofer has either driven by their home and noticed they have damage or that an expert is in the neighborhood and can inspect their roof.
We've been told these calls are not local. They're reportedly with a telemarketing company in Mexico and they're trying to set up appointments for out of state roofers.
The caller ID number reads out like it's a local call, but it isn't.
Bottom line, hire an established, local roofing company, One who will be around if you need them later.
Check them out with Pikes Peak Regional Building Department. One phone call or check online can tell you if they're licensed to do business here and ensure that they have liability insurance if someone's injured on your property.
If they aren't licensed don't consider them, period.
If you have any questions call our Call for Action hotline. During the month of July it's staffed Monday through Friday from 10 am to 2 pm.
We have volunteers taking call for Waldo Canyon fire victims and they'll be happy to help you. 457-8211 is the number to dial.
We talked to Total Roofing, a Colorado Springs business and owner Scott McIntyre told her that his company is not related to Total Home Services even though their names are similar.
There is also a Total Home Services located in Murfreesboro, North Carolina, but the owner tells us he only does business locally in North Carolina.

Cider Category Growth Driven by New Brands; Increased Distribution Would Boost Growth Further
A survey of alcoholic beverage drinkers by Consumer Edge Insight reveals what factors are driving the rapid growth of the cider category and how the category would grow even faster if it was available for sale in more bars, restaurants, and stores
Feb. 22, 2013 - PRLog -- A recent survey of alcohol consumer behaviors in the United States among people who consume any type of alcoholic beverage at least once a week provides insight into the factors driving the rapid growth of the alcoholic cider category, how people perceive the cider category, and what would make people drink cider more often in the future.
Among people who have been drinking more cider, the top reason given is new brands (35%) and new flavors (31%). Women are especially likely to cite new brands (47%) and new flavors (39%). Among men, the top reasons for drinking more cider is they have grown to like its taste (33%) and they have found more occasions to drink it (25%). Many men also cite new brands (23%) and flavors (23%), and many say drinking more cider because they are getting tired of drinking other types of alcohol (21%).
The cider category suffers from a large perception gap between drinkers and non-drinkers. People who drink cider regularly (at least once a week) have a positive opinion: they think cider tastes great (36%), is fun to drink (31%) and is high-quality (26%). In contrast, people who don't drink cider at all have a very negative opinion with only 5% thinking it tastes good and 22% saying that cider is "not for people their age."
The survey also asked what would make people drink cider more often. Among people who current drink cider regularly (at least once per week), the most popular answer was "if it was available in more bars and restaurants"
Among people who don't currently drink cider at all, 10% of them said they would drink cider more often if it tasted better and 8% said that if cider was more popular they would drink it more often. However, 68% of them said that "nothing" would make them drink cider more often.
"The rapid growth of the cider category is being fueled by the explosion of new brands, flavors and varieties, especially among women, while many men are discovering that the cider category offers a great alternative to beer, wine and spirits," said David Decker, President of Consumer Edge Insight. "Expanding distribution of the cider category among both on-premise and off-premise channels will be key to driving consumption growth among both regular users and non-users. Driving consumption growth among non-users will require investment in improving the category's image, although new brands that expand the category's appeal to a more diverse group of people will also help."
Alcoholic Beverage DemandTracker provides an in-depth analysis of the key economic and attitudinal factors impacting alcoholic beverage demand. Data for this wave of Alcoholic Beverage DemandTracker was collected in November via an online survey of over 2,000 US consumers, age 21 and over, designed and weighted to be representative of the US adult alcohol-drinking population. Some of the topics addressed include drivers of change in alcohol category consumption, the impact of economic factors and secular trends on overall alcohol consumption and by category, channel behaviors, ways to increase category consumption, and numerous brand metrics. The research covers the beer, spirits, wine, cider, and flavored-malt beverage categories including the largest brands in each category.

a place for zinesters - writers and readers
A group for those 30 years and over that are still printing and reading zines.

Trans/Genderqueer Zine Project Call For Submissions
Topic: Essays, anecdotes, comix, collage, & poetry from trans and genderqueer folks telling stories of adolescence and puberty. Take that as broadly or narrowly as you'd like; literally how your body was changing and how your brain was dealing with it, or going to a dance and how that made you feel, to coming out to your family, friends, teachers & classmates.
Audience: 7-12th grade students.
Specifics: The pieces should be free of cursing and super overt sexual content.
Why/Purpose: Puberty and adolescence are hard for everyone but it's extra alienating and difficult when you feel alone and or radically different from everyone else. I want this zine to be an offering to trans and gender queer kids who need to see themselves in print, to know that they are not alone. I want the stories to offer comfort and hope to some young people who may be struggling. I would like the zine to be a resource for trans and gender queer students and a way to open the eyes and hearts of cisgendered students, parents, and teachers.
Send submissions to firstname.lastname@example.com
Please send as a basic word document with "Zine Submission" in the subject line. Art submissions should be 300 dpi scans or for bitmap line art 600 or more.
Send submissions by June 1, 2011. Feel free to e-mail me at firstname.lastname@example.com with any questions.
The Filth is seeking questions for our new column, Ask the Doctor! We're starting this new feature in our sex toys issue, but questions do not need to be of a sexual nature - but it's more fun if they are.
We are also looking for short stories and art about sex toys. Fiction or non, whatever. Anonymous is fine.

I have been making fanzines since I was 15 which is over half of my life ago! I have just turned thirty one and have made my 21st issue of my horror fanzine Necronomicon. You can find all the issues to buy at my new website at necronomiconfanzine.com
My latest Ken Chronicles (#22) is finished and available for $2 (to USA) or fair trade. It's 24 digest-sized pages & contains a long travel story to the western US, as well as book, music & concert reviews, and lots of photos. I prefer perzines of any kind, travel and non-fiction. No offense, but I'm really not into SF, political, or entire works of fiction. Let me know what you've got.
any age is good age to start making zines!
I have 50 and still make and read...
I turn 40 this year, and only got into zines in my early 30s. So far, I've just been buying/reading zines for the most part, but I have a few ideas, so who knows? Maybe I'll end up printing a few myself. :)

Apologies but I'm a noob.

Critical Rating: AAA 1/2
Genre: Internal
Batter up! Stefano and pals generously glaze genitals.
Nut Inside Me sounds like a lost film from the tail end of Jerry Lewis' cinematic career, but make no mistake — this show isn't a comedy. Strong woodsmen, overheated babes and decent production values are all a good stroke vid requires. Stefano delivers.
One of the strongest scenes features Kayme Kai and the director, who nearly loses an eye from one of her erect nipples. The gal also froths up a bit even before he plants his meat flag. NIM runs a bit too long for its own good, and the cockslingers are better at thrust 'n parry than voluminous delivery, but overall a worthwhile effort.
Retailing: Not quite a classic, but Boston Pops have nothing over internal pops.

If you are yearning for a tennis game for Windows Phone 8, you need to check out Cross Court Tennis 2. It is a relatively new sports game for Windows Phone and once you get used to the controls, it is an entertaining game to pass the time with.
Graphics are top notch, game play challenging but the screen does feel a little cramped. Nonetheless, overall, Cross Court Tennis 2 is a welcomed addition to the Windows Phone gaming library.

Admission is free to the 6:30 p.m. concert with Vellamo singer Pia Leinonen and guitarist Joni Tiala, who offer songs in Finnish and English, along with music from the Celtic and Scandinavian folk traditions.
While Leinonen is originally from the Arctic region of Lapland, the duo is based in the port city of Kokkola on Finland's west coast.
It's Tiala's hometown, the place where he took up guitar as an 11-year-old boy. These days he is also a theater and session player and a member of the Finnish progressive rock band Moonwagon.
Working with Leinonen in Vellamo, Tiala's known for a retro sound reminiscent of Judy Collins and Richard and Mimi Farina. And Leinonen, with her ethereal style, has been compared to other story-centric performers such as Joan Baez.
The duo travels the world; Sequim is on their seven-week U.S. tour to 20 states for 20 shows.
Some library services will be available during Friday's after-hours concert.

Clear Channel not interested in hiring Sarah Palin.
On Monday, Inside Radio reported that former governor Sarah Palin's representatives "have been quietly testing the waters to see how much interest radio syndicators have for her." While Palin isn't committed to radio, she is reportedly open to it as "a possible next step." But the interest in her might not be as great as some had speculated. According to Broadcasting & Cable, Clear Channel Broadcasting, the country's biggest radio conglomerate, has already turned Palin down because of fears that she wouldn't be able to "hold forth for three hours a day."

You need the ! there. This is confusing, isn't it? :D
When you're using an if() statement, the ! means not. So
if(x==true) means if x is true
if(x!=true) means if x is not true.
If you're...
I don't think you want the ! in front of the preg_match (in the form processor). The regular expression will return true if the address is a correctly formatted email address - your form will...

I don't think that article's about protecting site content; from my understanding it seems to be about the US copyright agency's website not being cross-browser accessible. Still important though. :D

Hi all,
I am a newbie, so forgive me if I don't use all the right terminology.
I have just upgraded to 1.5, and it's great (thank Goodness--now you can edit users!!!)
However, I am experiencing a glitch: when you post or comment and then click on "view site" (RIGHT above the editing box, NOT at the very top of page), you get an error message "_default_ could not be found. Please try again."
And after you post a comment, to make matters worse, you're trapped in the comment page forever, because there isn't even a view site link, and clicking the title of the blog (in the banner) gives the same _default_ error message above. You have to type in the URL again to view the site after writing a comment!
So the link to the main site is incorrect. But is it an error in the 1.5 template, or is it an error in my site? And how do I fix it? I had some luck in the old 1.2 with editing my own template to add various features, but I can't see this template (used to be accessed by clicking "template" in admin on 1.2). Yes, I see Manage-->Files-->Main Template (but that template is 4 lines long! The one on 1.2 was the whole page, so it was easy to tweak.)
Thanks again, and again, please forgive my ignorance. I am learning more about WP every day.
