Wow!! Maybe I need to come live with you for a while Norma before I move in with Jon! I notice you like a lot of Greek food too; that stuff is soo tasty and makes you feel like you are eating healthy too at the same time.
Bob,I would like to be able to move in with Jon and eat all of his great looking food. I do like Greek food a lot, but then I was married to a Greek man at one time, so I did get to eat a lot of Greek food and that made me like Greek food more.Norma
When I moved to Nc 25 yrs. ago I first worked for some Greek folks. Norma, they took me in like family during a time when I really needed that..being here on my own. They are great people that know how to make awesome food!
Is this an OK recipe for Pickled Onions? Do ya'll prefer red wine; cider, or plain 'ol white distilled vinegar? Thanks!! Ive' never had these.http://www.seriouseats.com/recipes/2012/05/pickled-red-onions.html
That's a pretty good one, I would leave out the jalapeño though. Regular old distilled white vinegar.I use what is basically the recipe from the Zuni Cafe Cookbook. If you're into cooking it has some amazing recipes. Some are a bit involved (pickled red onions) but it is a fantastic cookbook. The roast chicken recipe alone is worth the price IMO.
Anyone I shouldn't use...
What about Vidalia onions...do people ever pickle those?
I use Maui sweets... slice in eighths leaving the root end so they don't fall apart. I brine with half/half water and vinegar (rice or white), sugar to taste, whole black peppercorns, and salt. They keep in the refer for a few weeks.
Thanks Steel, are you saying to cut it like one of those steak joint "blooming onion" thingies and then submerge it in your brine?
No, slice it all the way thru but don't trim the root end first... that way each slice holds all of its sections, layers. I'll make some tomorrow and post pics.
Thanks, I got it now. This way will not require such a big container/brine solution.
Roasted/smoked chicken cooked with the retained heat from last night's pizza bake. Served with roasted root vegetables and a shallote/thyme Demi glacé...

Neighborhoods, Spain
Madrid is a wonderful walking city. You'll doubtless find yourself, sooner or later, along the Paseo del Prado, in Plaza Mayor, and in Puerta del Sol. Stop for a quick look, but don't sit at any of the overpriced cafés in these areas, where you'll be serenaded by patronizing Spanish guitarists, condescended to by uppity waiters with tuxedos and A.D.D., and generally made to feel like a fanny-packed loser.
The key to seeing Madrid is, instead, to escape from these places and explore the neighborhoods, where the changing nature of the city is more palpable. First and foremost, this means Chueca, long known as the city's gay neighborhood but now also housing the hippest restaurants, nightspots, and boutiques—most among streets and buildings that only a few years ago were ready to be condemned. Las Letras, the rapidly gentrifying old literary district, is also fascinating, and by night on weekends, Malasaña is a scene of throbbing street culture that has to be seen to be believed.
Another way to walk the city is by art gallery–hopping. Chueca and the Lavapiés neighborhood are where the new galleries and foundations are clustering. Check out the Galería Travesía Cuatro (4 Travesía de San Mateo; 34-91-310-0098; www.travesiacuatro.com), the Fundación Juan March (77 Calle Castelló; 34-91-435-4240; www.march.es), and the Círculo de Bellas Artes (42 Calle de Alcalá; 34-91-360-5400; www.circulodebellasartes.es).
Casa de América, Spain
Madrid, Spain
Tel: 34 91 595 4800
Website: www.casadeamerica.com
This luxuriously sprawling outdoor bar, set on a series of terraces in the garden of the Casa de América cultural center, is on the more sedate end of the Madrid cocktail scene. It's a lovely, tree-shaded, candlelit setup, frequented by an older selection of moneyed Madrileños. Order something appropriately pompous to match the setting, like a negroni, and contemplate the good life. The wine list and top-shelf liquor list are respectable, but it's all about the atmosphere. The place shuts down early by Madrid standards, around midnight, leaving plenty of time to hit the real bar scene afterward.
Depintxos, Spain
Madrid, Spain
Tel: 34 91 345 9047
Pintxos are Basque-style tapas, bites atop slices of French bread, and they represent one of the most fun little traditional corners of Spanish cuisine. Depintxos is a Madrid hot spot at the moment, not just for its pintxos but also for its luxe modern atmosphere, especially on the pleasant outdoor terrace, which is well situated for people-watching (though you'll probably be watching the beautiful people around you rather than scanning the sidewalk). Prices are surprisingly low, which is part of why you might endure a wait before sitting down. The food won't blow you away, but the codfish-stuffed roasted red pepper is nicely balanced, its cod slightly granular but creamy, and the pepper is delicately fried in a thin batter. Cubes of pork loin in mustard sauce atop french fries is a well-executed comfort food. Less convincing, though, are the blood sausage stuffed with too much rice and ill-paired with brie, and jamón ibérico.
Korgui, Spain
Madrid, Spain
Tel: 34 91 547 1005
Website: www.korgui.es
The groundbreaking drinks at this artistically lit "bar gastronómico" extend the Spanish flair for culinary experimentation to the cocktail shaker. The selva negra is vodka infused with vanilla and strawberry and mixed with strawberry juice, white-chocolate liqueur, and chocolate dust, for a dessert-like approach to mixological perfection. Vodka is only one among many infused liquors: Tequila is flavored with orange and mandarin peel; whiskey, with apple and pear; and pacharán (sloe gin from Navarra) is seasoned with myriad spices. The crowd is international and a bit studenty.
Konnopke's Imbiss, Germany
Berlin 10405, Germany
Tel: 49 30 442 7765
Imbiss is German for snack bar, and they're a vital part of the Berlin cityscape. Though these days many of them serve doner kebabs and gyros, a reflection of Berlin's large Turkish population, a clutch of old-fashioned imbissen still offer up the wurst and wieners so beloved by Berliners. Konnopke's, in a gritty but arty part of town that was once part of East Berlin, is one of the city's most famous tube-steak merchants. Run by the same family since it opened in 1930, it's particularly famous for its Currywurst, which is a flaccid hot-dog-like sausage squirted with spicy ketchup and garnished with a generous sprinkling of rather harsh curry powder. Okay, this may not sound like a grandiose gastro moment, but few things are more essentially Berlin than gobbling up one of these with a big side order of pommes frites with a dollop of mayonnaise and a beer in the shadows of the U-Bahn on a cool, cloudy day.
Closed Saturdays.
White Trash Fast Food, Germany
Berlin, Germany
Tel: 49 30 5034 8668
Website: www.whitetrashfastfood.com
The newest incarnation of this ultrapopular restaurant/bar/club/live-music venue (it also operates the tattoo salon next door) is by far the biggest and best: In a former Irish pub, a cowboy-hatted American expat known only as "Wally" serves up delicious burgers and other downmarket Yank fare starting early in the night. Later, live, predominantly rock music by emerging musical acts (or local DJ sets) are on offer in the grottolike basement, and the always-packed main space fills to the gills with Berlin's art, fashion, and celebrity crowds. Despite the Irish touches and the odd Chinese trinkets dragged along as decoration from a previous location, the place has a strangely gunslinging, saloon-type feel as well as a low-key dress code. Ladies beware: In the wee hours, White Trash can live up to its name by becoming a bit of a meat market.

Kreuzberg, Germany
Boxed in on two sides on the West German side of the Wall in the years following the war, Kreuzberg was somewhat isolated from the rest of West Berlin and became a world unto itself. Packed with slightly crumbling tenements, it was affordable, if not downright cheap, and therefore popular with newly arrived Turkish immigrants as well as punks and anarchists from around the world. Always an alternative enclave, it lost some of its luster in the years after the Wall fell and eastern neighborhoods such as Prenzlauer Berg drew the crowds. But with the latter in the final phases of gentrification, local magazines are heralding the return of Kreuzberg's cool factor. Bergmannstrasse and Oranienstrasse, both lined with cafés, bars, and restaurants, are popular with students and hipsters. Meanwhile, the neighborhood has remained multicultural. The open-air Türkischer Markt (Turkish Market) stretches along the Maybachufer every Tuesday and Friday. Closer to Mitte, Daniel Libeskind's Jewish Museum is one of Berlin's most architecturally significant new buildings (9-14 Lindenstrasse; 49-30-2599-3300; www.juedisches-museum-berlin.de).

Government Quarter/Tiergarten, Germany
Tiergarten, Berlin's version of Central Park, is also the name of the neighborhood that includes the Regierungsquartier (Government Quarter). Per square mile, Tiergarten has more powerhouse architecture than anywhere else in Berlin, and that's really saying something. The highlight is Sir Norman Foster's revamped Reichstag, reunified Germany's parliament building, which was completed in 1999. Its distinctive glass dome has become one of Berlin's most iconic structures and is worth a visit for both the close-up view of history (you can still spot Soviet-era graffiti on the roof) and the panoramic views of Berlin. Entrance lines are long, but you can skip them by making a reservation for breakfast, lunch, or dinner at the rooftop restaurant, Käfer (49-30-2262-990).
From the Reichstag, walk south along Ebertstrasse—look for the line of cobblestones indicating where the Berlin Wall once stood—past the Brandenburg Gate, where Ronald Reagan gave his famous "Tear down this wall" speech in 1987. One block further, on the southern side of the U.S. Embassy, is the Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe, designed by architect Peter Eisenman and opened in 2005. The 4.7-acre, open-air site consists of large concrete slabs of varying heights arranged in a grid. Walking between the pillars, with the ground sloping up and down, evokes a chilling—and unforgettable—sense of disorientation and isolation. Eisenman's memorial has been criticized by some for referring only to Jewish victims of the Holocaust. Across the street is a smaller memorial to gays and lesbians murdered by the Nazis, which opened in 2008.
South of the Tiergarten, Potsdamer Platz, for a time Europe's largest construction site, has risen up in a barren wasteland once traversed by the Wall. Despite (or because of) buildings designed by Renzo Piano, Richard Rogers, Helmut Jahn, and Hans Kollhoff, the completed development has received mixed reviews. Potsdamer Platz is marked on its western side by the State Library, whose airy, multileveled interior featured prominently in Wim Wenders's Wings of Desire, as well as Hans Scharoun's Berlin Philharmonic Concert Hall, an early-1960s extravaganza designed around the acoustic requirements of the orchestra, resulting in a tentlike structure clad in a studded golden skin. On the other hand, it doesn't get any more minimal than Mies van der Rohe's Neue Nationalgalerie, a slab of black steel atop slender black columns, framing a glassed-in, light-flooded display space that features rotating art exhibitions.

Architecture Walks, Germany
Berlin boasts more new buildings designed by top international architects than perhaps any other European city. At the turn of the last century, it was, after all, presented with the unique opportunity to rebuild a modern cosmopolitan capital almost from the ground up. You can prepare for an architectural tour by reading Michael Wise's fantastic book Capital Dilemma: Germany's Search for a New Architecture of Democracy (Princeton Architectural Press), an in-depth account of the politics involved in building new symbols of national identity and historical consciousness. Many companies, among them Original Berlin Walks (49-30-301-9194; www.berlinwalks.com), offer guided tours of the city's architectural highlights, including Peter Eisenman's Holocaust Memorial, completed in 2005, Norman Foster's Reichstag, Renzo Piano's Potsdamer Platz, and Frank Gehry's DG Bank. A self-guided amble is a good leisurely alternative. Berlin Tourismus Marketing GmbH (11 Am Karlsbad, 49-30-250-025; www.berlin-tourism.de) publishes an inexpensive 36-page bilingual guide titled "Architecture in Berlin," which is available at BTM tourist information centers throughout the city or can be ordered by mail.
Westerpark and Westergasfabriek, Netherlands
Amsterdam, Netherlands
Website: www.westergasfabriek.com
A late-19th-century Westergasfabriek (city gasworks) is enjoying a new lease on life as a "culture park" after extensive renovations in 2005. Its once-contaminated grounds now house the undulating Westerparknotice how the landscape gradually changes from urban to wilderness as you walk west out of townand a fountain pool where kids can frolic and moms and dads look on. Among the Fabriek's buildings are Pacific Parc, a grand restaurant with nighttime DJs and guest performers (Polonceaukade 23; 31-20-488-7778; www.pacificparc.nl), a branch of de Bakkerswinkel, Amsterdam's favorite bakery, (Regulateurshuis 1; 31-20-688-0632; www.debakkerswinkel.nl), the art-house cinema Het Ketelhuis (Haamlemmerwag 8-10; 31-20-684-0090; www.ketelhuis.nl), and postindustrial Westergasterras party venue (Klonneplein 3). Café-Restaurant Amsterdam is across busy Haarlemmerweg, in the 1900 municipal waterworks (Watertorenplein 6; 31-20-682-2666; www.cradam.nl).
Odeon, Netherlands
Amsterdam 1017 AW, Netherlands
Tel: 31 20 521 8555
Website: www.odeonamsterdam.nl
The former brewery dating from 1662 has seen a lot of history: President John Adams visited it, the Concertgebouw got its start here, and in the 20th century, the likes of David Bowie, Elton John, and John Paul Gaultier shook their stuff here. Yet this storied venue fell on hard times until a 2005 redo courtesy of the owners of Hotel Arena. Once again, it's fit for dignitaries of politics, society, and the arts. In the front bar/restaurant beneath the original vaults and wooden ceilings, glam, oversized murals of models mean you'll probably ignore the otherwise riveting views of the Singel canal. Upstairs a neoclassical concert hall turns into a nightclub studded with tiny pedestal tables for cocktails on Friday and Saturday nights.
Open Thursdays through Saturdays 11 pm to 5 am.

Eastern Docklands, Netherlands
Website: www.easterndocklands.com
Amsterdam contains one of Europe's highest concentrations of exciting modern architecture, and the hottest hotbed is in the eastern harbor, where more than 8,000 homes were built in the 1980s and 1990s by innovative architects like Hans Kollhoff of the DaimlerChrysler headquarters on Berlin's Potsdamer Platz. The area is now home to families and professionals, and is a favorite haunt of packs of curious, bespectacled architects. Design highlights include residential "super blocks": Look for the dark facade and irregular shape (determined by the shipping warehouse that previously occupied the site) of austere Piraeus on KNSM island (by Kollhoff/Christian Rapp) and the sloping roofline of zinc-clad De Walvis—appropriately named "the Whale"—on Sporenburg (by Frits van Dongen/Architecten Cie). Equally one-of-a-kind are the single-family houses along Scheepstimmermansstraat—individually designed by the owners, they make up a fascinating architectural collage that's best seen from Borneo Island. The Stedelijk Museum's temporary location in the former TPG post office tower a few minutes' walk east of Centraal Station makes for a good gateway to the area. Check with the Amsterdam Centre for Architecture for information on other landmarks and to purchase self-guided tours (600 Prins Hendrikkade; 31-20-620-4878; www.arcam.nl).

Coffeeshops, Netherlands
First things first: Marijuana is not fully legal in the Netherlands, although possession and consumption of small amounts are tolerated—a prime example of the Dutch personality trait called gedoogbeleid, or turning a blind eye. Amsterdammers are also realists, who recognize that—as with prostitution, euthanasia, and same-sex marriage—people are going to smoke pot anyway, so they might as well do it safely. Coffeeshops (as marijuana cafés are called) are permitted to sell up to five grams of the stuff to each customer. There are also "smart drugs" shops, which dispense magic mushrooms and the like. There are as many types of coffeeshops as there are visitors to Amsterdam, from fancy and literate to down and dirty. One classic is Dampkring—you saw it in Ocean's Twelve—near the University of Amsterdam. The painted and sculpted central column, like a giant toadstool, is hallucinatory even if you don't smoke (29 Handboogstraat; 31-20-638-0705; www.dedampkring.nl). Don't want to toke up with the college kids? Siberië looks out on a handsome canal in central Amsterdam and could pass for an East Village café were it not for its mind-altering wares. Show up on the right night and you might find DJs spinning or get your horoscope read (11 Brouwersgracht; 31-20-623-5909; www.siberie.net). If it's all about the pot, go to tiny, straightforward Grey Area, a frequent winner of the Cannabis Cup (Oude Leliestraat; 31-20-420-4301; www.greyarea.nl). When buying any variety of marijuana, make sure that you ask its properties and be prepared for the effect—if the menu doesn't give you a solid description, the staff will be happy to. And remember, a coffeeshop is emphatically not a coffee house (koffiehuis in Dutch). The latter serves a concoction called coffee; don't even think about lighting up in one.

Anne Frank House, Netherlands
Amsterdam 1016 GV, Netherlands
Tel: 31 20 556 7105
Website: www.annefrank.org
Even if you've heard the story of Anne Frank time and again, a visit to the house is a must. You'll be surprised at how emotional a walk through the secret annex can be, imagining how the Franks and their friends lived their lives and catching a glimpse of the diary. The Anne Frank House is the city's most popular attraction, with more than 950,000 visitors annually. To avoid crowds, visit first thing in the morning or inquire about advance tickets purchased off-site. To learn more about the 400-year-long story of the Jews in Amsterdam, head across Amsterdam Centrum to the Jewish Historical Museum. The building is an act of reclamation in itself; its glass-and-steel structure combines four restored synagogues in the heart of Amsterdam's original Jewish quarter (1 Nieuwe Amstelstraat; 31-20-531-0310; www.jhm.nl).
Open daily 9 am to 7 pm.
Kumharas, Ibiza, Spain
Cala de Bou, Ibiza 07839, Spain
Tel: 34 971 80 57 40
Website: www.kumharas.org
The softer side of clubbing, this is a beachside trance venue, which means it's a cross between a souk in Marrakech, a bedouin tent, a beach in Goa, and a cafin the Haightwith a chill-out soundtrack. The ruins of a stone windmill serve as the bar and centerpiece, while all around, hippie transactions take place in the informal marketplace, impromptu art gets made, and Southeast Asianinfluenced food is served in an array of set menus: langoustine tempura, hummus, grilled tuna with Thai vegetables, chicken satay. You'll feel better if young and underdressed.
Closed October through May.
Tinta Roja
Danzatoria Restaurant & Club
La Rosa, Spain
Valencia 46011, Spain
Tel: 34 96 371 2076
Many locals swear that La Rosa's rice dishes are even better than those of its neighbor, the more famous La Pepica. They're certainly cheaper, and the restaurant's long dining room and beachfront summer patio aren't swarming with tourists. Instead, Valenciano families come for unusual paella variations like arroz meloso con ortigas de mar—a creamy paella made with an underwater plant known as sea nettle—and plates of fideos negros, inky black spaghetti served with squid. Service is fast and professional (a bit of a rarity in this slow-paced neighborhood), and the wine list is surprisingly extensive.
Can Majó, Spain
Barcelona 08003, Spain
Tel: 34 93 221 54 55
Website: www.canmajo.es
When asked where to get good paella in Barcelona, many locals answer simply: Valencia. But this Barceloneta beachfront classic with a nautical-inspired interior and picket-fenced terrace is the exceptionpaellas here come with proper socorrat (caramelized bottom crust). There are also boat-fresh fish and seafood dishes such as whole sea bream baked in a crust of salt; tender, purple-rimmed clams, and sweet, grilled navajas (razor clams). And it's one of the few places where more unusual local delicacies such as delicate espardenyes (sea cucumbers) and pink-tinged percebes (goose barnacles) can be sampled.
Closed for dinner Sundays and Mondays.

Soho, England
Its fortunes as London's nightlife neighborhood have waxed and waned repeatedly over recent years, but you always seem to end up in Soho for one reason or another, mainly due to the great and plentiful restaurants, bars, clubs, and shops (Carnaby Street remains popular, despite the tourist hordes). Bordered by Oxford Street, Shaftesbury Avenue, Regent Street, and Charing Cross Road, Soho is home to London's Chinatown, a much-reduced red-light district (it peaked during the 1970s), and thriving gay bars and businesses centered around Old Compton Street. It's also home to the British film industry—production facilities are concentrated here—and the twin anchors of literary-media–luvvies life: the Groucho Club (45 Dean St., W1; 44-207-439-4685 ; www.thegrouchoclub.com) and Soho House (45 Greek St, W1; 44-207-734-5188; www.sohohouse.com).

If you want to learn about the capital, the Museum of London is the place to go (it's free, too). The museum tells the story of the city over the past two millennia, and after a $33-million revamp completed in 2010, five wonderful new interactive galleries (called the Modern Galleries of London) have brought this institution bang up-to-date. Highlights include a Victorian shopping street replete with original storefronts and a pub, and the Lord Mayor's gaudy gold State Coach. The Great Plague of 1665 and the Great Fire of 1666 are also commemorated, with models, videos, objects, and paintings. Sections of London's actual Roman city walls are incorporated into the building. After a visit, take a wander in the neighboring East London neighborhoods of Smithfield, Farringdon, and Clerkenwell, where restaurants and trendy bars abound.—Giovanna Dunmall.

Hoxton and Shoreditch, England
The neighborhood of Hoxton, in the city's northeast, has had more influence on cutting-edge art, music, and fashion than its small size and homely appearance might suggest. In the early 1990s, it was home to the likes of fashion designer Alexander McQueen and pop musician Jarvis Cocker, and generally a stronghold of the YBAs (Young British Artists), who lived in the warehouses. The pub-and-club scene along Curtain Road was the haunt of everyone who was anyone. News spread, property prices soared, and the artists moved. While no longer part of the vanguard, it's still a good place to hang. Try Hoxton Square Bar & Kitchen, a concrete and glass place typical of the area's urban style with a clientele of grown-up hipsters (2-4 Hoxton Square, Shoreditch, N1, 44-207-613-0709). There's a small terrace from which you can watch the goings-on in Hoxton Square, once the epicenter of the scene and still a bustling area with a patch of much-needed greenery in the middle. It's where you'll find Jay Jopling's contemporary gallery White Cube, which represents Damien Hirst and Tracey Emin, among others (48 Hoxton Square, Shoreditch, N1, 44-207-930-5373, www.whitecube.com). These days, locals tend to lump Hoxton under the general heading of Shoreditch, a larger neighborhood that's retained its edge…for now.

Camden and Islington, England
Head straight for Camden Town if you're in your early twenties and on the lookout for leather—take that how you will, it's all here. The weekend markets by the tube station and further up the high street in Camden Lock are seething with humanity and lined with bars and music venues. To the east, in high contrast, is largely Georgian Islington, with its neighborhood restaurants and independent boutiques for the well-to-do. And its Saturday market, Camden Passage, to the east of Islington Green, is all about antiques. The Almeida Theater here is consistently great (Almeida Street, Islington, N1; 44-207-359-4404; www.almeida.co.uk).
Borough Market, England
London SE1 1TL, England
Tel: 44 207 7407 1002
Website: www.boroughmarket.org.uk
A favorite of many a celebrity chef, the award-winning Borough Market is the ultimate foodie destination. Specialist traders come from throughout the United Kingdom and further afield to set up shop in buildings that date back to 1851 (the Art Deco entrance was added in 1932). You're invited to move from stall to stall and sample what's on offer, but for the best experience, visit on Thursdays, when the market's less crowded and you can chat with booth owners (the market is closed Sunday through Wednesday). Highlights include the traditional savory pies from Bristol bakery Pieminister, the luscious seafood curry at Furness Fish, the Ogleshield cheese sandwich at Bill Oglethorpe's cart (Gourmet's Ruth Reichl called it the "Platonic ideal" of cheese sandwiches—definitely no argument here after tasting one), sausages and meats from Sillfield Farm in Cumbria, and local artisanal cheeses at Neal's Yard Dairy. Sampling can quickly add up to a meal here, but if it merely whets your appetite, there are plenty of restaurants and bars in and around the market, including Roast, an upscale option housed in the former Floral Market (Stoney St.; 44-207-940-1300), and Fish!, a glass-and-steel pavilion that perfectly complements the surrounding market's wrought-iron work (Cathedral St.; 44-207-407-3803).

There's almost always something happening in this Temple Bar square: live theater during lunchtime on weekdays, outdoor movies, and Irish music. Most events are free but require a ticket (limit of four). The website provides the current schedule and instructions on how to apply for tickets beforehand. Alternatively, arrive early and stand in the non-ticket-holder's line, to pick up any leftover spots after ticket-holders are seated. The square also has a great food market on Saturdays, with organic foods from small Irish growers and ready-to-eat treats including Atlantic oysters, burritos, and sushi.
The Market Bar, Ireland
Dublin 2, Ireland
Tel: 353 1 613 9094
Website: www.marketbar.ie
This former sausage factory adjoining the George's Street Arcade is a huge space, with a sky-lit interior, wooden floors, and lots of greenery. There's a mezzanine level with sofas and a second bar, as well as a heated beer garden (one of the best smokers' spots in Dublin) and an open kitchen that does tapas dishes like salted almonds and smoked trout salad in small and large sizes. It's a great spot for drinks and an inexpensive nibble, but it gets seriously busy after 6:30 pm, courtesy of the after-work crowd (that goes double on Fridays). The Market Bar boasts an unsurpassed ability to absorb crowds, but the results can be noisy; thankfully, there's no music to compete with conversation.
Doheny & Nesbitt, Ireland
Dublin 4, Ireland
Tel: 353 1 676 2945
Long-time regulars just call it Nesbitt's, and so should you. Dublin is full of pubs, but there's nothing like the character of this landmark watering hole, serving up drinks since 1867. It's the real deal, with carved timber, old wooden floors, and an ornate papier-mâché ceiling, plus snugs (tiny, semiprivate rooms just off the bar) and partitioned areas favored by politicians and economists. Nesbitt's is around the corner from the Dáil (Ireland's Parliament), and they say that decisions about the economy are made here on a daily basis. So, people-watch with wild expectations—Gorbachev, Bono, and Nobel Prize–winning poet Seamus Heaney have all tipped a pint here (although not together—yet). There's pretty good pub food on weekdays, including shepherd's pie, hearty soups, and tasty grilled-cheese sandwiches. Patrons have even coined their own noun: "Nesbittspeak."
Whelan's, Ireland
Dublin 2, Ireland
Tel: 353 1 478 0766
Website: www.whelanslive.com
Whelan's dates from 1772, so when the current owner bought the place in 1999, you could see why he vowed not to develop it into a tacky "superpub." For a time, too, the vow was kept. Whelan's boasts a magically intimate live venue (Nick Cave, the Fleet Foxes, and local heroes the Redneck Manifesto have all electrified audiences here), and an infamous lock-in was presided over by local musicians like Paddy Casey and recent Oscar-winner Glen Hansard. Then came the expansion, which opened up several extra rooms to drinkers. The pub retains its original 18th-century portal (replete with open fire, wooden bar, and, yes, wallpapered ceiling), and the venue is rockin' as ever, but let's be blunt. It's a superpub. An indie superpub, maybe, but a superpub nonetheless.

The adrenal glands are two triangle-shaped glands, one gland is located on top of each kidney.
Each adrenal gland is about the size of the thumb. The outer part of the gland is called the cortex. It produces steroid hormones such as cortisol, aldosterone, and testosterone. The inner part of the gland is called the medulla. It produces epinephrine and norepinephrine, which are also called adrenaline and noradrenaline.
When the glands produce more or less hormones than your body needs, you can become sick.
The adrenal glands can be affected by many diseases, such as autoimmune disorders , infections, tumors, and bleeding, including:

In monocrome, Blossom's shoes would be grey, not black (they're medium brown). The color's gotten screwed up before, I see no reason it couldn't have gotten screwed up again. We're so used to Blossom's shoes (and indeed the shoes of all the rest of the PPG, since they all wear the same kind) being black I think that every know and then black just becomes the default. And the fact that, unlike Bubbles and Buttercup, Blossom's shoes are similar to the style she normally wears (not identical though, these seems dressier Mary Janes, with a thinner sole and without the "bump toe" her day to day one's have) likey makes it doubly confusing.
It's not precisely a simple monochrome by grayscale. It's "Sherlock-O-Vision". Or what we've been calling our "Prediction Panel(s)" filter. I am not certain if Bleedman simply shifted the grayscale or merely turned it all blue, thus impacting her shoes. >_>

Well, not just Blossom, but the PowerPuff Girls. Wonder Woman is the role model. Funny how the other DC Comics characters they have, the girls dunno anyone else except for Wonder Woman. In psychology, when studying up a kid, you learn that its who kids look up to - A hero/role model. Its TRUE!

Hey, BeeAre, I've been meaning to ask you this and I'm sorry if this has been talked about before I didn't really start reading this comic again until after you asked about that one thing and we got to talking, but how powerful are the girls in the PPGD comic compared to how they were in the show?
Are they the same or are they weaker. Sometimes I get the feeling that they aren't as powerful as they were in the show. Not that that's a bad thing if you wanted them to be more capable of being hurt to create more tension when they fight. Something that I don't have a problem with.
Considering that in the show at full strength, Buttercup has been able to lift a piece of a mountain and at top speed, Bubbles can run around the entire world in less than five seconds added to the fact that they can survive in space just fine and go swimming in volcanos. The girls were pretty powerful in the show.
While admittedly the show was sometime inconsistent about how strong they were, such as them wearing space suits in an episode for just one example. And since it was a cartoon I can see why you'd forsake trying to be accurate with their powers sense some of the stuff they did was just the tiniest bit over the top.
... Such as flying into outer space and allowing themselves to burn up in the Earth's atmosphere and create a flaming fire cat around themselves to attack their some of their more powerful enemies.
Sorry if this has been brought up before or if its an obvious question, I was just being curious.

How intelligent is Blossom? Say on a scale of Billy to Brainiac. How smart do you think she was in the cartoon. Most of the time it jsut seem that hse was the more rational one, willing to think situation through bfore acting. Which is what tends to seprate "the smart ones" in any group (other CN examples include doubleD or Mandy in there respective groups)
Is she on Dexters level?
In a previous post you said that Bubbles is more emoionally enduring then all the other Powerpuff Girl. What did you mean by that. Bubbles always appeared to be the most fragile of the girl in just about every instance. Are we gonna see an example of such in this chapter?
BeeAre wrote:I mean, she was sad just NOW, but that's because everyone assumed they were already dead.
BeeAre wrote:Bubbles' psyche is not fragile, it is just expressive. Being upset does not stop her from acting once she has expressed her emotion. Fear of injuring her family might, but if she discovers a solution, she is able to take it and redouble it for her own purposes. Three Girls And A Monster, she recognizes the flaws in offense entirely, and instead simply asks nicely, taking her anger and focusing it properly. Mime For A Change, it is Bubbles and Bubbles alone who must have definitively set up the stage and given her sisters their bass and lead guitars.
Her brain has proven terrifyingly malleable and efficient at complete redesign without permanent injury (Bubblevicious and Dos Los Mojos). I'd like to think her eye problems in Bubblevision are a result of this.
At no point does Bubbles every willingly injure her family in any way. She does it accidentally plenty, granted. Bubblevicious in particular was all done in an attempt to be better, and her focus to do so outweighed her normal superhero obligations, until she was fulfilled by her sisters actually paying attention to her. When she tackles Blossom in that episode while they are playing "Duck, Duck, Goose", she comes the closest she really ever does to outright hurting anyone in her family, but we've seen Buttercup deliver far worse impacts to both sisters without any lasting damage, so I'd like to think Bubbles was aware of the amount of strength she was putting in: Just enough to make a statement.
I can only think of a few examples of her faltering in her belief system, and it usually deals with the girls' relationship with the Professor. In the movie, the Professor admits that he thought that they were good. As in, past tense. Little Miss Interprets has the girls once again believe the Professor doesn't want them. Or Ploys R' Us when they think the Professor is outright dead.
Bubbles stutters constantly in her drive, but she never shuts down like Blossom or Buttercup. Buttercup literally could not function without her blanket in Cover Up. Blossom resorted to outright theft in A Very Special Blossom just to make her father happy, and left the team in Not So Awesome Blossom.
Bubbles never really gives up once she gets sadness out of her, so long as her family is okay, and still loves her. Her sense of duty is unflinching. She's always sunny, despite all the odds against her. She endures the bad more readily than Blossom and Buttercup do, even if she openly dislikes it to the point of crying. Her innocence harbors a strong moral principle, and it lets her have unwavering resolve. This will become important when bad things get worse.
Being the 'Weakest' sibling gives you the ability to grow into the strongest, is what it always comes down to. She always has seemed the most timid and in several ways needed some special care, such as the preference to night time lighting, yet I would imagine this would make her more resilient to having less. Putting up with so much allows you to put up with even more, after all.BeeAre wrote:Bubbles never really gives up once she gets sadness out of her, so long as her family is okay, and still loves her.

Posts tagged Naya Rivera
best-dressed at the 2012 SAG Awards
The Help and Modern Family were big winners at last night's SAG awards. And while screen veterans Jessica Lange, Betty White and Alec Baldwin also snagged tops honors, we have to nod our heads to the following women for winning over the red carpet with style and grace.
Dianna Agron looked flawless in this pink number topped off with just the right amount of ruffle and a chic bohemian hairstyle.
Ashlee Simpson took us by surprise when she stepped out onto the red carpet last night. Looking fabulous from head to toe, she proved she's a fashion force to reckon with.
Oh, hello Emily Blunt! It's not enough that you have an awesome British accent, but you also have an amazing figure that looks good in any style. Green can be a risky red carpet shade, but Emily really rocked it out!
Emma Stone why are you so adorable? This beauty can do no wrong! Yes, her hair color changes, but her distinct eye for fashion does not.
Kaley Cuoco looked like a princess last night. Her hair was fairy tale perfect and her dress was straight out of a story book. Congrats to her for recently getting engaged to her prince charming.
Lea Michele has made some bold fashion choices this award season, and she continues to show us she's not afraid to stand out with this show stopping number.
It seems Naya Rivera can do no wrong when dressing for the red carpet. On top of being blessed with exotic features, she always chooses designs that compliment her body shape.
Beautifully strapless with a tousled up do, Viola Davis turned heads with this gorgeous look.
Sofia Vergara was looking muy caliente last night! This magenta silk gown hugged every curve of her body in the most flattering way possible. With her hair was pulled back and wearing just the right amount of diamonds there was no overlooking this style star!
Michelle Williams was definitely my favorite look of the night. This gorgeous red dress looked perfect against her porcelain skin. She looked timeless and sexy without going over the top.

- Integrates multiple point tools into flexible, open flows that integrate a broad arsenal of verification solutions
- Decomposes the problem and employs the best solution, such as CDC verification, formal verification or mixed-signal simulation, to resolve it
- Delivers high performance/capacity debug tightly integrated with the Visualizer Debug Environment
- Increases your ability to build a verification plan and collect metrics to track its progress, allocate and manage resources efficiently, and identify trends as the project progresses against schedule
Key Benefits
10X-100X Faster coverage closure
Questa intelligently generates stimulus to ensure that high test quantity does not come at the expense of high test quality. The result is a 10X-100X gain in verification productivity. Questa Verification Management reduces the time needed to manage regression testing and merge coverage results from hours to minutes. Questa also eases testbench programming by automatically generating coverage models.
Low-power verification
The Questa Verification Platform is a comprehensive solution for verifying power management in low power designs. Questa Power Aware Simulation (PASim) verifies the power management architecture through both static analysis and simulation. Questa ADMS integrates with Questa PASim to verify power management in designs with analog/mixed-signal functionality. Questa CDC verifies clock domain crossings inherent in designs with active power management. Questa Formal exhaustively verifies power control logic. And Questa Verification Management ensures that power management structures are thoroughly verified as part of coverage closure.
Powerful Unified Debug
Debug is one of the most important verification technologies and critical for achieving productivity in today's complex designs. The Questa Verification Platform combined with the new Visualizer Debug Environment for testbench and HW debug and Codelink for SW debug and HW/SW co-verification, provides maximum performance, capacity and automation for the complete cycle of SoC design and verification debug.
Formal-Based Technologies
Questa Formal-Based Technologies offer the unique ability to root out obscure bugs and increase design confidence through exhaustive analysis. Questa offers a broad spectrum of formal solutions, ranging from fully automatic applications such as clock-domain crossing verification, code coverage closure and automatic formal checking to custom coded assertion property checking with high-powered formal engines. These solutions work as a complement to simulation-based methods and they boost verification productivity by targeting verification tasks that are otherwise difficult to complete.
Leading support for UVM
The Questa Verification Platform is the first verification platform with a UVM-aware debug solution that provides engineers essential information about the operation of their dynamic class-based testbenches in the familiar context of source code and waveform viewing.
Questa lets you see the component hierarchy, class definition tree, and other UVM settings specific to your testbench to make it easier to understand the operation of your verification environment. Together with UVM Express, UVM Connect, and Mentor's UVM Mentor VIP, the Questa platform provides an unmatched environment.

How to Select
How to Select a Carbon Monoxide Detector
There are two general types of carbon monoxide detectors; carbon monoxide and smoke combination detectors, and carbon monoxide only detectors. For home use, we recommend using a combination carbon monoxide and smoke detector so you can limit the amount of devices you will need to install and eventually replace. If you already have a working smoke detector, you can either replace it with a combination alarm, or install a carbon monoxide only detector.
Power Sources:Your power source will help you decide which carbon monoxide detector is the right one for your application.
Battery Powered: These units run on battery power and are not connected to a hard power line. Battery powered carbon monoxide detectors are easy to install. Often times, they will have a built-in front-loading battery compartment for easy access and replacement of old batteries. If you are retrofitting your space, and would like to limit the amount of electrical work needed, this is a great option.
Plug-In: Plug-in carbon monoxide detectors will run directly from a power outlet and will provide instant detection. Installation of plug-in models is as easy as plugging them into the outlet, and you are done. These units do not run off of a battery.
Hardwired: Models that are hardwired require a direct power source that is wired to the alarm providing steady electrical current. These units require little maintenance once installed. We recommend that a qualified electrician install these units. Hardwired models are easily interconnected and can operate as a "system" of alarms and other devices.
Hardwired with Battery back-up: Hardwired models are also available with a battery back-up that will keep the carbon monoxide detector operating even during a power outage. These units still need to be hardwired to your standard power source, however, have extended life due to the back-up battery.
Interconnectivity: Is your Carbon Monoxide detector interconnectable?
Some Carbon Monoxide alarms have additional functions that allow for the unit to be installed in a series of interconnected detectors and other devices such as bells or whistles. Interconnected devices include advanced technology to identify which detector initiated the alarm.
Types of Sensors:
Electromechanical sensors are known for being the most accurate detectors available. These units will detect many types of fires, and will be least likely to cause nuisance alarms.
Photoelectric sensors detect larger size particles in the 0.3 to 10 micron range, which are associated with ash or burned material. These detectors respond quickly to smoldering fires where particles may be in the surrounding air.
Ionization sensors are often less expensive to produce and thus will cost less. However, due to the nature of the technology, it is more prone to cause a nuisance alarm. Ionization sensors have two points which have a steady current flowing through. Once particles enter between the two points, the current is interrupted and the alarm sounds. Ionization alarms are used to detect smaller particles and flaming fires.

About us…
Are you good without a god? Hey, so are we!
We all benefit from a supportive community for friends, charity, and fostering a better understanding of secular values with our neighbors. Atheists, agnostics, freethinkers, humanists, skeptics, non-religious, lost tourists, and the generally confused are all welcome to join us!
It is often claimed that atheists are rare when in fact nearly 20% of our nation's population do not believe in a higher power. Still, atheists can feel isolated because the religious community is so organized and outspoken on issues. Building and participating in a community is the first step toward being heard.
Plus - the conversation is great!
The Arkansas Society of Freethinkers is an organization of secular individuals whose goals are to:
We encourage everyone to suggest events and activities. In addition to various volunteer, social, and public events, our regular events are:
We are a volunteer organization and most of our events are free for the public to attend. If you want to support the Arkansas Society of Freethinkers and help us keep sponsoring these activities and events, membership is $20 a year. Our membership year is Jan 1st - Dec 31st.
New members and new ideas are always welcome.

This article explains how to create and edit a sample KML file using an online editor
For example, if you are hosting at example.com, the final line of the JavaScript to load the KML will need to be:
kml.parseKML("http://example.com/" + "generated_kml_data_file.kml")
Contents |
Keyhole Markup Language (KML) is an XML notation for geographic applications. The advantages of using KML are numerous, and have been listed in a previous article. The learning curve for KML is quite steep, requires a thorough understanding of both XML and mapping technologies, and since the reference documentation is written for 3d rather than 2d maps, much of it is irrelevant for simple mapping cases. All this means that some web developers are put off using KML, which is a pity, since KML is a standard data format, and the use of KML would result in the faster porting of a mapping applications to other platforms.
In order to remedy this, it would be useful to have a WYSIWYG point and click KML generator, where a map could be edited on screen, and the resultant KML file generated. The coded example below, attempts to fill this gap as shown.
WSYIWIG Editor
After the usual Map set up, we need to get a reference to each of the text boxes on the right of the screen. This is done by using document.getElementById()
var lat = document.getElementById("lat");
var lng = document.getElementById("lng");
var waypoints = document.getElementById("waypoints");
var title = document.getElementById("title");
var name = document.getElementById("name");
var description = document.getElementById("description");
var address = document.getElementById("address");
var icon = document.getElementById("icon");
var styleURL = document.getElementById("styleURL");
var lineStyleURL = document.getElementById('lineStyleURL');
Adding Markers
Markers can be added by pressing and holding down the mouse , this is the longpress event. An event handler has been added to the map to cope with this. The associated values such as <description> and <name> come directly from the text boxes defined above.
eventExEl.addListener("longpress", function(evt) {
var markerData = new Object();
markerData.coords = map.pixelToGeo(evt.targetX , evt.targetY);
markerData.title = map.objects.getLength() + 1;
markerData.description = description.value;
markerData.name = name.value;
markerData.address = address.value;
if (icon.value != ""){
markerData.icon = icon.value;
} else {
markerData.styleURL = styleURL.value;
}, false);
An alternative method of adding a marker is by adding an address. This uses the standard geoCoding service, and picks the first address found on the list. If your address is in the "wrong" format, just try making the address more general for now e.g.try the city only. The handler for geo-coding retrieves most of its information from the text boxes on the right hand side of the screen, but the address comes from the callback function.
var searchManager = nokia.places.search.manager;
searchTerm : address.value,
onComplete: onSearchComplete});
var onSearchComplete = function (data, requestStatus) {
// If the search has finished we can process the results
if (requestStatus == "OK") {
var markerData = new Object();
markerData.coords = data.location.position;
markerData.title = map.objects.getLength() + 1;
markerData.description = description.value;
markerData.name = name.value;
var address = data.location.address;
markerData.address = "";
markerData.address = markerData.address + address.houseNumber + "\n";
markerData.address = markerData.address + address.street + "\n";
markerData.address = markerData.address + address.district + "\n";
markerData.address = markerData.address + address.city + "\n";
markerData.address = markerData.address + address.postalCode + "\n";
markerData.address = markerData.address + address.country;
} else if (requestStatus == "ERROR") {
alert("The search request failed.");
The addMarkers() method actually adds the marker, which itself contains a copy of its own <description>, <address>, <name> & etc. The marker has two events:
- a click event to display the data in text boxes for editing. This will also display an infobubble if the <description> field is set. A reference is kept on the currentMarker i.e. the last one selected.
- a drag event to remove the infobubble if a marker is repositioned. All markers are defined as draggable so the user can reposition them as necessary.
function addMarker(markerData) {
var marker;
marker = new nokia.maps.map.StandardMarker(markerData.coords, {
text: markerData.title, //small title
draggable: true, //the marker is marked to be draggable
$data: markerData
marker.addListener("click" , function(evt) {
title.value = evt.target.text;
description.value = evt.target.$data.description;
address.value = evt.target.$data.address;
name.value = evt.target.$data.name;
styleURL.value = evt.target.$data.styleURL;
lat.innerHTML = evt.target.coordinate.latitude;
lng.innerHTML = evt.target.coordinate.longitude;
if ( evt.target.$data.description != ""){
infoBubbles.addBubble(evt.target.$data.description, evt.target.coordinate);
} else {
currentMarker = evt.target;
}, false);
marker.addListener("drag" , function(evt) { infoBubbles.removeBubble();}, false);
Editing Marker Data
The editMarker() method, removes the currentMarker and adds another one with the current data from the text fields.
function editMarker() {
var markerData = new Object();
markerData.coords = currentMarker.coordinate;
markerData.title = title.value;
markerData.description = description.value;
markerData.name = name.value;
markerData.address = address.value;
if ( description.value != ""){
infoBubbles.addBubble(markerData.description, markerData.coords );
Adding Polylines
It is impossible to create Polylines without first having some defined waypoints. The waypoints are merely geo.Coordinates, so a button has been added to take the coordinates of the currentMarker and add them to an array. The marker is then removed to "tidy up" the display. When the create line from Waypoints button is pressed, the Polyline is created.
var currentWaypoints = new Array();
currentWaypoints.push( currentMarker.coordinate);
function createLineFromWaypoints() {
var lineData = new Object();
lineData.lineNo = map.objects.getLength() + 1;
lineData.waypoints = currentWaypoints ;
if( lineStyleURL.value != ""){
lineData.styleURL = lineStyleURL.value;
map.objects.add(new nokia.maps.map.Polyline(
color: "#22CA" ,
width: 5,
$data: lineData
currentWaypoints = new Array();
waypoints.innerHTML = "";
KML Generator
The saveMapObjects() method has been taken from the converting from JavaScript to KML article. All the map Objects currently on screen are iterated through and added as KML equivalents. In order to discourage the use of inline styles, a

Cold intolerance is an abnormal sensitivity to a cold environment or cold temperatures.
Sensitivity to the cold; Intolerance to cold
Cold intolerance can be a symptom of a metabolic problem.
Some people (often very thin women) do not tolerate cold environments because they have very little body fat and are unable to keep warm.
Follow the recommended therapy for treating the cause of the problem.
Call your health care provider if you have long-term or extreme intolerance to cold.
Your health care provider will take a medical history and perform a physical examination .
Medical history questions may include:
Tests that may be performed include:
If your health care provider diagnosed cold intolerance, you may want to note that diagnosis in your personal medical record.

Woodland Park Rush Off To A Great Start!
May 25, 2011 marked the launch of the Woodland Park branch of Rush Pikes Peak Soccer Club. Rush sent a couple of directors of coaching to work alongside the Woodland Park High School coaching staff and players to run a free kick-around for players aged 5-14. Held at the beautiful Meadow Wood Sports Complex, over 50 players showed up in the warm spring sunshine to meet and learn from the Rush coaches. The evening was a huge success, and the foundation is definitely set for something special for the players of Woodland Park and all of Teller County.

Philosophy isn't just religion. You can get to answers. At a minimum you can rule out plenty of answers. Many philosophical concepts also don't operate on the dichotomy of true or false.

Our favorite online videos this week range from the cute to the downright weird. In keeping with the holiday spirit, we've got First Dog Bo Obama inspecting the White House Christmas decorations, rapper DMX singing "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer," and Jimmy Fallon, Mariah Carey and The Roots teaming up for a spirited rendition of "All I Want For Christmas Is You." But it's not all about the tinsel. We're also re-obsessed with Sesame Street's take on Boardwalk Empire, a patient pug teaching his feline sibling a lesson, and a mashup of the 50 best pop songs of 2012. Check out those videos and more below:
How to Tame a Lion: A pug can only take so much harassment before he loses patience with his feline sibling. We're guessing the cat won't be trying that again. (Hint: Make sure your speakers are on.)
Bo Inspects the White House Christmas Decorations: Even the First Family is getting into the holiday spirit, decking the halls of the White House in preparation for the thousands of visitors who will pass through between now and the new year. Here, four-legged resident Bo gives the trimmings a final (and adorable) once-over.
Fall TV Scorecard: What's renewed/canceled?
Danielle Fishel Presents: "Lizdsay Taylorhan": Liz & Dick truly is the gift that keeps on giving. Here, Boy Meets World alum (and Girl Meets World star) Danielle Fishel does Lindsay Lohan doing Elizabeth Taylor. Got that? Just watch.
Sesame Street Presents Birdwalk Empire: Enough with the dogs. On to the birds. In celebration of this week's Boardwalk Empire finale, we're revisiting Sesame Street's kid-friendly version of HBO's gangster drama. Bonus points for whoever thought of "Nucky Ducky Thompson" and "Mallard Capone."
Instagram and Nickelback: College Humor does it again, this time with a music video remaking Nickelback's song "Photograph" into an ode to the Instagram app. Raise your hand if you're guilty of any of the clichés mentioned. (We know we are.)

Polyhydramnios is too much amniotic fluid surrounding an unborn infant.
Amniotic fluid is a clear, slightly yellowish liquid that surrounds the unborn baby (fetus) during pregnancy. The amniotic fluid constantly moves as the baby swallows and breathes in the fluid, and then releases it through urine.
While in the womb, the baby floats in the amniotic fluid. Amniotic fluid surrounds and cushions the infant throughout pregnancy. The amount of amniotic fluid is greatest at around 34 weeks of pregnancy.
The amniotic fluid helps:
Polyhydramnios can occur if the developing baby does not swallow and absorb amniotic fluid in normal amounts. This can happen if the baby has certain health problems, including:
It can also happen if the mom has poorly controlled diabetes.
Polyhydramnios may also be due to increased fluid production, which occurs with:
Sometimes, no specific cause for polyhydramnios is found.
Call your health care provider if you are pregnant and notice that your belly is getting large very quickly.
This condition is discovered during pregnancy. You doctor or nurse measures the size of your belly at every visit. This tells them your womb (uterus) size. If your womb is growing faster than expected, or it is larger than normal for your baby's gestational age , the doctor or nurse may:
If the health care provider finds a birth defect, you may need an amniocentesis to test for a genetic defect.
Mild polyhydramnios that shows up in the latter part of pregnancy does not often cause serious problems.
More severe polyhydramnios may be treated with medications or by having extra fluid removed.
Women with polyhydramnios are more likely to go into early labor. The baby will be delivered in a hospital with specialists who can provide immediate evaluation and treatment.
