I've noticed in my wedding shooting days that serve-yourself hydration stations were becoming more and more popular. And for good reason — no need to hire staff to re-fill your drinks, your guests can get refreshed at will, great for weddings on hot days, and they also look really pretty! Just look at those beehive beverage dispensers pictured above. When any of these are filled with colored liquid like bright sun teas, fruit filled water, or sangria, they're like refreshing colorful wedding decor.
If you're thinking of setting out some drink dispensers, here are a few options that will not only serve up yummy liquids, but will look good doing it — and match your wedding decor from vintage-style to nerdy or gothic.
This green hand-blown bubble glass dispenser has a vintage charm that makes me want to make this a permanent part of my home decor.
This Creativewear three gallon beverage dispenser is UNBREAKABLE, bitches! This will last through ALL your raging parties — wedding and beyond.
This one is also by Creativewear, but it's got some cool texture detail to it that I really like.
Loving the extra level of storage on this guy. The bottom section can be filled with ice for cooling beverages, or removed for serving ice cubes or fruit garnish. And I love an elevated spigot.
And now we're back into fancy pants silver dispenser land with mouth-blown glass and a nickel-plated, tarnish-resistant metal base.
I just LOVE the look of this Artland pedestal-style beverage jar.
The Gasslock beverage dispensers come in four different colors, are eco-friendly, look amazing, and are under $30.
The Simple Lines ceramic beverage dispenser is sexy and modern, just like you. (Winky face.)
This one, with its hammered glass and wrought iron-looking stand, would be perfect for a goth wedding.
Check out the double-stacking action on this guy!
You don't always see beverage dispensers that are square… AND ribbed for her pleasure.
It's no globe, but I'm digging the hexagonal shape and I LOVE the pretty blue color of this 3 1/4 gallon recycled glass jar.
Ooh: A set of two large mason jar dispensers with stand — how convenient! And how charming!
For smaller weddings, this dual dispenser only takes up the space of ONE, and has storage underneath.
Beehive drink dispensers!? Holy crap these are cute.
This one comes with a bonus chalkboard to let your guests know which beverage is which is super-cute style!
Where my Mason Jar lovers at? You're gonna flip over these Mason Jar drink dispenser with reversible galvanized stand/ice bucket.
I'm going to end this roundup on these awesome colorful Mason Jar-style beverage dispensers. They come in red, green, blue, and purple. Artistic beverage dispensing DONE!

As the last segment of a new toll bridge was put in place in late March, California transportation officials looked forward to the end of a major traffic headache.
The South Bay Expressway's Otay River Bridge is part of a new, 10-mile express toll road, built for $635 million, that opens this summer. The ¾-mile, four-lane bridge is expected to free up local traffic snarls in the San Diego area by connecting residents to employment centers on either side of the structure.
Made of post-tensioned concrete, the bridge is designed to withstand the force of a large earthquake. Using pre-cast segments enabled the bridge to be erected relatively quickly, minimizing the project's impact on the surrounding environment.
Under an agreement with California DOT (Caltrans), the South Bay Expressway Partnership Ltd.—owned by Australia-based Macquarie Infrastructure Group, a company that has taken over toll roads in Illinois, Indiana, Virginia, and other states—will operate and maintain the expressway and the bridge. The agreement requires the partnership to invest $20 million in local environmental mitigation efforts such as wildlife habitats and awareness programs.

Motorcycles are one beautiful invention, worthy of the songs they've inspired and films they've made inspiring. Even non-riders can relate to the thrill of the road if they remember being a kid and lifting their feet off the pedals as their bicycle flew down a hill and the wind whipped past their ears. Developer Steve Smith definitely feels love for motorcycles, and he shares his devotion -- and motorcycle collection -- with the city of St. Louis as his Moto Museum (3441 Olive Street) opens its doors for the first time this weekend with a grand three-day party. The Saint Louis International Motorcycle Festival begins at 5 p.m. Friday, April 27, and features extreme stunt-riding presentations, movies, eats and a concert; the fun continues that evening until 10:30 p.m. Return on Saturday and Sunday (April 28 and 29) for more demos, concerts and two-wheel extreme entertainment. Throughout the entire festival, the museum is open for tours of its 100 bikes, both old and new, from all around the world. Tickets to the fest cost $15; visit www.themotofest.com for specific hours and more information.
April 27-29

IMPORTANT: Little League Bans Composite Bats!
Little League International Issues Update Regarding Composite Bats: Moratorium Imposed Immediately
SOUTH WILLIAMSPORT, Pa. (Dec. 30, 2010) - Little League International has placed a moratorium on the use of composite bats in the Little League (Majors) Division and all other baseball divisions of Little League, effective immediately.
"Today's decision of the Little League International Board of Directors Executive Committee is based on scientific research data from the University of Massachusetts (Lowell), which was contracted by Little League Baseball," Stephen D. Keener, President and Chief Executive Officer of Little League Baseball and Softball, said.
"The maximum performance standard for non-wood bats in the divisions for 12-year-olds and below is a Bat Performance Factor (BPF) of 1.15. The research found that composite bats, while they may meet the standard when new, can exceed that standard after a break-in process."
Local Little Leagues were first informed of the research last September. "From the beginning, and throughout this process, we wanted to keep everyone informed," Patrick W. Wilson, Vice President of Operations at Little League International, said. "Our intent was to provide local league constituents clear direction regarding composite bats.
There is a process through which manufacturers can submit individual models for a possible waiver if they wish to seek it. Going forward, we will let our leagues know which ones meet the standards for the Little League Baseball (Majors) 12-and-under divisions, if any."
On Sept. 1, Little League International placed a moratorium on composite bats in the Junior, Senior, and Big League Baseball Divisions of Little League. Subsequent to that moratorium, some composite bat models have received a waiver and may be used in those divisions.
Information on the composite bats that have received waivers for the Junior, Senior, and Big League Baseball Divisions of Little League may be found here: http://www.littleleague.org/learn/equipment/approvedcompbats.htm
At present, no composite bats for the Little League (Majors) Division and below have received a waiver. If and when any models do receive a waiver, Little League International will inform its leagues of that decision. The moratorium on composite bats, which now applies to all baseball divisions of Little League, does not apply to any softball divisions of Little League.
Sincerely,Little League International

If you think the air in your nonsmoking hotel room is free of smoke residue, think again: If a hotel allows smoking in any of its rooms, the smoke will permeate everywhere, including nonsmoking rooms, a new study shows. Nicotine residues and other chemical traces "don't stay in the smoking rooms," lead researcher George Matt, chairman of the psychology department at San Diego State University, told USA Today.

According to the National Pest Management Association, one out of five Americans has had a bed bug infestation in their home or knows someone who has been bitten by the tiny …

Joni Kabana, an award-winning visual artist and photojournalist, and the woman behind the camera on our Naturally Gorgeous model shoots, was going to be shooting a calendar for a local yoga studio, and needed makeup for the models. Being familiar with my work, and the way that Alima Pure photographs, Joni asked if I would come and help out. The project, she explained, was to spread the word about a series of classes at The Yoga Project, a studio in the Sellwood area of Portland, called "Yoga for The Larger Woman."

Watermelon Controversy! - Seeded vs. Seedless?
- s
- StriperGuy Jul 5, 2002 06:38 AM
At our July 4th cookout were were discussing the merits of seeded vs. seedless watermelon.
My feeling is that old fashioned watermelon, with seeds, is sweeter, juicier, and has a better texture.
The new seedless varietes always seem to have a pulpy texture and are never really juicy. Also, the seedless varieties always seem to have something missing in terms of taste. They also have a paler, slightly whitish color not the deep red of the seeded varieties.
I have no great desire to spit out seeds, (thought it can be fun) but I am definitely not ready to give up on good old fashioned watermelon.
Any other Chowhounds want to weigh in on this one?
I agree. Watermelon with seeds (both seedless and seeded sound like they describe a product with no seeds) are much better, texturally and sweetness wise. I've always found that the ultimate watermelon flavor comes from the area right around the highest concentration of seeds. For some reason it is almost always the sweetest and most watermelon tasting part of the melon.
My old roommate and I would buy a whole large watermelon, eat a quarter of it, then chop up the rest into bite sized pieces, poke out all the seeds, and put it in a giant tupperware cake thingy in the fridge. In such a ready to eat form it never lasted more than two days, despite there only being two of us.
re: ben f
Yes, indeed. "To seed" is to remove seeds from something. Therefore, "seeded" has always meant, til now, that it had seeds, but they have been removed.
In other words, the term now means anything and nothing.
My answer is that you should serve dinner guests either seedless or seeded watermelon, both are tasty if you get a ripe specimen, but the ones with seeds should be reserved for feeding the kids on the lawn.
re: ironmom
Or for women wishing to become pregnant!!!
I have developed a personnal watermelon protocol:
With seeds - for eating plain
Seedless - anytime I need to chop it up for salads, sorbets, watermelon balls, i.e., if something else is going on to disguise the not-quite-perfect taste.
re: Stanley Stephan
Hello again Stanley -
My grandfather only planted yellow watermelons. He scoffed at the red ones. He saved the seed from year to year and when he died in '95 (at 96) he had some in an envelope in the frige. My grandmother didn't think about it the next summer, so it was '97 before she gave them to me. I planted, but only one little sprout came up. (I guess age was a problem) It was doing OK until I got over zealous with the garden hose and blew it right out of the ground. I'm still kind-of traumatized about it. I blew my chances of having an "heirloom" watermelon that really was an heirloom.
To be honest if you don't want to spit out the seeds is it a big deal to swallow them? I really dislike spitting seeds out and instead just eat them (and take my word for it the tales from childhood are not true).
For me the watermelon controversy would be how to pick out a good one. I have tried all of the methods (looking for "bee stings" tapping, thumping, hefting, appearance,etc.) and I have come to the conclusion that the best method is to just grab the closest one because at least that way you don't waste alot of time on it if it isn't that good.
By the way the "pulpy" texture can be in any type of watermelon. It is a symptom of poor care by the farmer. Either over/under fertilization or watering. I can't remember which.
I do know that the watermelons from when I was a wee youngen' in the '60's and '70's were much sweeter and had much more watermelon taste than most you get nowadays.
Of course the ones from farm stands that were picked that morn can be incredible. Last year out on the Island I had a variety that was low seed hybrid variety called something like sugar candy or sugar baby. It was a perfectly round melon about 20% bigger than a basketball. It was almost too sweet. Very crisp and juicy. I even froze some and served it scooped as an ice for desert. It looked and tasted like I slaved for hours making a homemade gelato. I served it splashed with a bit of tequila.
The ones with seeds are definitely better. When you do selective breeding (such as to make smaller seeds) for aesthetics or for convenience, inevitably the flavor suffers.
Watermelons with seeds are much sweeter and juicier. I am having a hard time finding a nice natural watermelon with seeds. May be time for a trip to the Valley... (Rio Grande Valley in So. Texas home of the best watermelon)
To me, doesn't matter (that much). Both are good. I just hope the watermelon growers don't go too far make the mistake of breeding all the flavor out of the melons. I don't like think rinds on water melons.
Given the choice, I like seeded. I think it tastes slightly better with better mouth feel. However, everyone in the family likes the convienance of seedless so guess which we get?
re: Motosport
Agree--and seem not to be able to find the larger, longish (rather than oval round) shaped melons that I remember as a kid, sold off the back of trucks on Brooklyn streets ,for 5 cents a lb.
re: Jpan99
Later this summer, hit the farmers markets and you'll find watermelons with seeds. Or if you have a hankering now, just head to Russo's in Watertown.
re: Jenny Ondioline
Thanks, I'll definitely hit the farmers markets. I haven't noticed seeded watermelons at Russo's, only seedless. I'll have to take another look, thanks!
re: Jpan99
Russo's carries a wider variety of melons during the summer. They're usually outside.
Watermelon WITH seeds is definitely sweeter. IMO
I recently saw a Utube video or blog post that talked of slicing out the sections that have the most seeds.
When peeled you can see how the seeds concentrate along regular lines.
Sounds like a sticky messy job but worth it if you like gobbling down delicious chunks of seed free watermelon.
Oh and the cut out chunks can still be squeezed in a colander for the juice.
I agree ... summer seems to be the only time to buy (at a reasonable price) watermelon. The local produce market as well as most of the chain supermarkets seem to be moving toward All Seedless. Although I admit, I have had a good one or two (I use a knock-test) ... but lately I've been very disappointed. I long for the 'good old days' ... bright red ... juicy ... sweet watermelon. I agree ... these new seedless varieties may have the advantage of being priced right ... seedless and look and sound good ... it even looks good opened ... but then the taste test ... oh what a disappointment to have a 15 lb. melon go to waste. If it's not sweet and juicy ... what's the point. We need to change the way we produce food and get back to the old way of doing things.

DOWNERS GROVE, Ill. (AP) -- The agency that oversees the Chicago area's toll road system has launched an online feature to make it easier for people to pay unpaid tolls.
The Illinois Tollway on Monday announced it has changed the online payment method so it's easier for drivers new to the Chicago area. Features include an interactive map to help drivers track routes and calculate the amount due. They can also pay online.
Drivers have a seven-day grace period to pay tolls. According to the agency, nearly 100,000 drivers pay unpaid fees each month. Those using the grace period have increased from 2 percent in 2008 to 17 percent in 2013.
Kristi Lafleur is the Illinois Tollway executive director. She says the new process will help drivers avoid paying a toll violation penalty.

The rate of tuberculosis TB disease increases in Washington
Tuberculosis cases has risen dramatically in Washington for the first time after several years of decline.
Up to 13 percent of the 185 cases reported in 2012- the last year, 209 cases of tuberculosis (TB) were recorded.
The tuberculosis rate in Washington has always been lower than the national average, but in 2013 its rate is higher corresponded to the national average.
"TB can be very serious and even fatal disease. Treatment is difficult for people because it requires taking multiple medications for several months," State Board of Health said Dr. Kathy Lofy.
"It is important for public health and the health of the community to remain vigilant and work together to fight against TB."
TB is a dangerous disease. This is usually a bacterial infection which affects the lungs but attack other parts of the body.
Most symptoms are fever, night sweats, fatigue, weight loss and a persistent cough.
Some people can be infected with TB and have no symptoms.
Immediate treatment with appropriate antibiotics is the key to survival and less severe symptoms.
People with HIV or AIDS, people under 5 and over 50, and people whose immune systems are most at risk.
The disease is spread through the air when an infected person coughs, sneezes or speaks, and breathe in other bacteria.
Counties with the largest number of cases in 2013 were the king (114), Snohomish (26), Pierce (22), Spokane (7), Clark (5) and Thurston (5).
Drug-resistant TB remains a threat to public health in Washington. This type of treatment of tuberculosis requires a longer period of time.
Two cases resistant to the Department of State Health TB multi-drug were reported in 2013.
Infection control procedures must prevent, so it does not spread in place in hospitals or care to avoid exposure to TB.
TB are higher among racial and ethnic groups. Nearly 75 percent of 2,013 cases born in the state abroad.
In 2013, 53.6 percent of all reported cases of tuberculosis in Washington were among Asians, followed by Hispanics (13.9 percent) and white (13.4 percent).
American Indians and Alaska accounted for only 1.4 percent of TB cases in Washington in 2013.
Health care providers, laboratory workers and health agencies must continue to work together to prevent the recurrence of tuberculosis. There are only 75 years, tuberculosis has killed nearly 1,000 state residents each year. In 2013, there were 16 deaths from TB.
The disease burden continues to rise, especially in drug-resistant cases are becoming more common around the world.

While considerable work has been done to prevent the spread of the disease, tuberculosis is a long-term commitment that must be respected by the community health care and public health.
Worldwide TB is a leading cause of death from infectious diseases. About nine million people infected with TB worldwide each year, and kills about two million.

Dry white wine
When a recipe calls for dry white wine, what do you normally use?
I live near the Finger lakes region of NY, which produces some nice white table wines- that is what I normally use. Or a Chablis would do. I will use chardonnay in a pinch.
Whatever you will drink with the meal is a great answer. I usually have a cheap white avalable if nothing else. Currently that is a closeout Yellowtail Reserve chardonnay. I would avoid an overoaked california chardonnay. Also, never buy cooking wine, they are usually worthless, too sweet. Sauvignon Blanc, Viognier, Chenin Blanc and dry champagne would all work fine. Riesling and Sauternes would generally be too sweet. Most of the American jug white wines are not worth drinking but might suffice if not too sweet. Sometimes I have a couple bottles of wine that are starting to madeirize, go bad, that I will reserve and use when cooking, that seems ok also. Doug
For something like linguini in clam sauce, a decent Pinot Grigio; otherwise, I agree with dijon.
I always use whatever I enjoy to drink, so that would be a sauvignon blanc, once in a great while a chardonnay.
re: Olivia
I usually buy those 4 packs of mini bottles for cooking; they have .75 cup which is a typical amount needed-- I usually buy the Pinot Grigio (not much choice in this type of wine!)
re: DGresh
That's smart. If I'm not having guests, when I cook with white wine I usually end up throwing some out. Where do you get those?
re: SuzMiCo
all the liquor stores around me sell them (I'm in NY)
re: SuzMiCo
World Market has stuff like that a lot of times. They also have half sized bottles of some wines.
re: DGresh
I buy them too and in my neck of the woods we have a pretty good selection. I keep on hand some Cab and Chardonnay which are great if I don't need much and don't want to open a bottle.
re: tunapet
I bought a 4-pk of Stone Cellars (Beringer) Pinot Grigio for soup-making, and the two pots I've made so far have turned out ridiculously sweet. I want to utilize the 4-pk principle for cooking, but I clearly need help choosing a DRY white wine--which ones (specifically) do you use?
re: DGresh
Hi - I'm a newbie and a late commer to this topic - I live in MI and can purchase the 4-pk of various wines at some Kroger stores. It is the only place I've ever seen them. I wish more places would carry them. I waste so much wine when I buy a bottle just for cooking purposes.
I don't kow much about wine - Does anyone have a link to a good website that lists types of wines (dry, sweet, etc)?
re: JackDunkin
It is indeed but go for the Sauvignon blanc instaed- the Chardonnay can be oaky.
It sort of depends on what I'm doing and what the wine tastes like. I remember poaching some red snapper once and I got a real nice, fairly strongly-flavored chardonnay for that. But I'm going to poach some tilapia this week, and figured chardonnay would be overpowering, so I got a pinot grigio in the hope it would be a little lighter. (Hope so, anyway; I don't know a ton about wine but the last pinot grigio I tried was mild and fruity without being too heavy and strong.)
The basic rule is cook with something you will drink. That being said, don't make it the expensive stuff (save that for the glass!), but no swill either. Sauv Blanc and Pinot Gris/Grigio will have a higher level of acidity than, say a Chenin Blanc. Chardonnay's can vary depending on region and vintage. Viognier is wonderful in delicate seafood dishes, though not as 'dry' as the others. I find Vermouth to be an odd addition since it derives its flavours from the addition of herbs and other additives (though I never say no to a wave over my martini!).
Do you have a beverages & more where you live? When I need a good dry white, I buy Trimbach pinot blanc. Whatever is left is delicious to drink.
Ultimately it depends, if I'm going to drink the remainder of the bottle with the meal then chablis, chardonnay, pouille fume or fuisse. If not then a smaller quantity of noilly pratt which I find tastes fruitier hence the reduced amount - although in my risotto...
If a recipe calls for a cup or less, I use NP vermouth. If the wine component is the main flavoring agent, however, I'll use a much more expensive wine: Pinot Gris, unoaked Chard, etc.
I usually use Pinot Grigio or a $2 Chuck Chardonnay. If you have any extra, freeze them in ice cube trays for future use.
re: pikawicca
LOL. I can always rely on you to use polite, exquisite language. I buy my wine from either Costco or the local well stocked liquor store w/an owner who holds tastings. But for Mr OCAnn and others new to cooking, $2 Chuck works well. I wouldn't go so far to call it piss, but it certainly fills a niche.
re: pikawicca
I have to agree. $2 Buck Chuck isn't fit for cooking or drinking. I guess one should drink what they like, but I have a hard time with this one when there are so many better wines under $10.
re: Shane Greenwood
I bet you couldn't tell a Grgich Hills chardonnay from $2 Buck Chuck chardonnay in a cooked meal.
re: JackDunkin
Speculation aside, I wouldn't cook with a wine that I wouldn't drink.
re: JackDunkin
If you're talking 1/4 cup, maybe not. If you're talking 2 cups or more, you're wrong.
re: pikawicca
You're wrong. I used a whole bottle in making a large batch of stew ...and had four different empty bottles on the counter. No one guessed it was the $2 Buck Chuck.
If the $2 Buck Chuck were priced at $10, a lot more people would say or admit that it's their default table wine.
re: JackDunkin
Hey Jack, if it works for you then fine. But a lot of people don't care for the stuff either in a glass or in a dish. I find that the off-notes in 2BC are much more pronounced when reduced.
re: Shane Greenwood
here's the thing about $2 buck.. it varies, hence the cheap price. 1 batch will be from a particular processing plant ( yes not small batch wineries, but neither is anything else mentioned here) and athe next batch from somewhere else. I've had relatively great bottles, and I've had chemical swill...
re: karenfinan
re: JackDunkin
Well, if it tastes good to you, by all means cook with it. I won't be joining you.
re: pikawicca
I didn't ask you to join me.
re: JackDunkin
Sorry, I meant to respond to Shane. I'm certainly not suggesting anything salacious in any event.
re: pikawicca
Sure you were.
re: JackDunkin
re: JackDunkin
Dream on, Jack.
re: pikawicca
More like a nightmare.
re: pikawicca
Huh? I'm not saying it tastes good. I'm totally saying the opposite. I wouldn't put 2BC in anything. I think Karen has a great point about how it varies. That might explain why it's always such a polarizing topic on CH.
re: pikawicca
And how would you know how weasel piss tastes?
re: JackDunkin
Just taste a glass of 2 Buck Chuck and you'll know.
I have had good luck with Shao Xing cooking sherry. Mostly for everyday French country fare, however, NP is too herbacious, doesn't smell right.
Usually dry vermouth, Cinzano,
Other than that I'd use sauvignon blanc. The oakiness of chardonnay is no good and a pinot grigio is too thin
Since I am usually drinking a dry white wine, I just put in whatever I have open that night. Unoaked chardonnay works well with most things....
re: JackDunkin
Which one do you buy? I usually avoid cooking with Chardonnay because I don't care for the flavors from malolactic fermentation and oak. I stick to the SVs and lower priced blends for cooking. But I know some Chardonnay makers are creating more of a Burgandy style, which can be great for cooking. Just curious which Cakebread you've had success with.
A recent article in the New York Times supports cooking with the cheap stuff--even if you wouldn't drink it: http://www.nytimes.com/2007/03/21/din....
re: vicarious
My point exactly. Thanks for the link.
re: vicarious
Love that! Clearly the ones above haven't read it. lol!
re: takadi
I believe Patricia Wells has a recipe for cooking mussels with that wine. I wouldn't use it though if a recipe calls for a dry white wine.
re: takadi
Gewurtz can be great in a pork recipe, or anything with an asian flair (fresh ginger, asian spices). One of my favorites is a pork roast braised with Granny Smith apples in Gewurtz. Cheers!
re: takadi
This is an old, old post, but my daughter had a glass of Alexander Valley Gewurtz last night, and it was very good -- quite dry.
Another vote for dry vermouth. Noilly Pratt if possible. Or I may use a bit of the wine we're going to drink with dinner.
Most of the time, especially when the wine gets reduced to nearly nothing in the prep, I use dry vermouth too. If it is really intrinsic to the dish though (for example chicken in riesling, etc) I use the proper vareital, I just buy an inexpensive California bottling.
In small quantities, like for deglazing a frying pan, leftover neutral white* or vermouth as often as not. The problem with vermouth is that it's flavoured with herbs and spices, making it unsuitable as a neutral braising or poaching liquid or for boiling down, which concentrates those flavours. In such cases, an inexpensive, neutral dry white, with "neutral" meaning unoaked and not made from an aromatic grape variety like Gewurztraminer, Riesling, Viognier, Muscat or Sauvignon Blanc. For example, a white Côtes du Rhône, any number of Spanish or Italian whites, cheap Chardonnay from France or Eastern Europe, or locally produced whites made from Seyval. The exception is, of course, dishes that are built around an aromatic white: chicken braised in Riesling or Vin Jaune, etc.
*If you occasionally have wine leftover, freeze it until you need it for cooking. Works fine for white, red or rosé. I often keep a screwtop bottle in the freezer and just pour in the tail end of whatever bottle I opened the night or week before.
re: hassenpfeffer
Great idea! I also favor a Picpoul de Pinet, a dry white blend from the south of France. Dry, crisp, refreshing -- and usually around $7 - 10 a bottle. Some great, inexpensive dry whites come from Spain, too.
I use DRY white wine. I learned the hard way that the surest way to wreck a dish is to sub sweet for dry. Obvious, perhaps, but as a rookie cook I was too obtuse to realise it.
That really depends on the recipe. If it is Alfredo sauce - Pinot Gregio, fish stock-Chardonnay, vermouth is a great stand in for small amounts and bitters will awaken salad dressing like no other. For my non-drinking friends I sub mustard or savory other herbs can really add pop - buy you need to experiment based on your taste.
Dry vermouth. I have been very, very, VERY happy using it.
We don't drink white wine. And many wines I have tried in cooking give a bit of an off aftertaste unless they are super dry. I have never had this problem with vermouth.
Depends. Usually whatever is open, which tends to be a fairly brisk and acidic pinot grigio or sauvignon blanc. But if it's a German or Alsatian dish - as in choucroute garni - I'll go with a riesling or even that Austrian bubbly I get from Trader Joe's. I did that on a whim one year and was mighty pleased at how it came out.
Pace Julia, but the only time I use vermouth like that is in a fish dish or to make her pommes de terre à la huile, where you sprinkle some over the hot potato slices along with the chopped scallions. Too herb-y for most things, I think.

My family and I had a wonderful stay! The condo was just as described and better. Everything was at our fingertips, it was perfect. The beds and pillows were very comfortable. The property was well maintained and the location was close to everything. The owners are very helpful and easy to communicate with. I had several questions and they were so quick to get back to me. I would stay here again and have already recommended this condo to family and friends. We had a wonderful experience.

November 23, 2014
SPRINGFIELD, Ill. (AP) -- The Illinois Senate today passed a resolution taking a stand against sending any more U-S troops to Iraq.
The non-binding resolution passed on a voice vote without any opposition or even questions. No Republican senators spoke in favor of President Bush's Iraq policy.
The resolution sponsored by Chicago Democrat Rickey Hendon commends American troops but also says the war has been expensive and that sectarian violence is increasing in Iraq.
It takes a stand against deepening military involvement in Iraq -- particularly against escalating American forces there.
Republican Senator Dan Rutherford says the resolution was so general that even supporters of the president's policy had no reason to oppose it.
Other Republicans said the measure passed before they even realized what it said.

Britney Spears Performs Free Concert in Mexico Cityby Free Britney at . Comments
Pop star Britney Spears gave a free outdoor concert Sunday in Mexico City.
The singer's Femme Fatale arrived South of the Border for a ticketed show at Foro Sol stadium Saturday night, then continued with a free concert at the Monument to the Revolution in the city center last night. The event drew an estimated 50,000 fans.
Here's a clip of Britney, who just turned 30 Friday, performing:
Mexico City's leftist leaders have made large-scale public parties a populist hallmark of governments in recent years, arguing that many residents of the city are unable to pay exorbitant ticket prices for concerts or for vacations outside the city.
The capital sets up landlocked "beaches" featuring sand and pools during the warmer months, and an ice rink in the holiday season. Both initiatives have proved popular.
It is unclear how they scored a name as big as Britney Spears to perform at such an event, or if any money was paid to the singer, but it was 100% free for the public.
She may have performed for free in mexico City bc she walked off stage after only a couple songs on her 2001-2002 dream within a dream tour and those fans were paying customers. She also promised th she would make it up. Looks like she did. : D
That was a kind thing to do. Go Brit!
first of all there was 165 000 people we got final numbers from organizers,and it was 100% free for Mexico guverment and public.........................cheeeek your informations first.............but Britney i awesome and thath is so nice of her,and yeas she is most down the earth celeb,I dont know whay media always bashing her..........
Wow that's soo cool. Its good to know that Britney never let fame and fortune get to her. And that she realizes that its because of her fans that she is where she is today!!!! Keep up the good work brit!!!!!
How cool! Love her!

COLLIER COUNTY, Fla. - A recent theft at a Collier County home that was part of the Neighborhood Stabilization Program is now shedding light on possible misuse of taxpayer money.
The house that brought on an audit by the Clerk's of Courts is part of a program to fix up foreclosures, and stabilize neighborhoods. It was in the middle of construction when thieves ripped off thousands in goods.
"It's surprising, that I was able to access these houses. You think they would rush out there and secure them," Collier Commissioner Tom Henning tells WINK News.
Henning visited the house after county employees who run the program wanted more money to replace stolen items. He wonders why the house wasn't locked up. So did we. We had no problem getting in the back door ourselves.
However, Henning says there's a much bigger issue than stolen items.
"Reported work that was done, was not even done. Missing air conditionings that were supposed to be serviced, water systems that were supposed to be replaced and serviced, pool equipment and pool services," Henning lists.
Bills were submitted for payment with stimulus money, when no one was checking to see if the work was done. Henning calls it a criminal act, "that's defrauding government."
The whole program is now being audited by the Clerk of Courts, including several other homes renovated for resale.
Commissioner Georgia Hiller issued this statement to WINK News:
"The county should not be in the business of buying and rehabbing these homes. I welcome the Clerk of Courts auditing what has happened. We have to do all that is necessary to safeguard the publics' assets."
"You need people checking over work to be done," Henning adds.
The general audit is expected to be done in a few weeks. WINK News will get you the results as soon as they become available.

The client SHOULD NOT repeat the request without modifications. Are you missing the / in your GET request above? so instead it should be "GET / HTTP/1.1\r\n\r\n" with return & newline? hehe ? hope this helps some.

Kingdom of Crabs
Australia, 1988 (MIFF 1989)
Director: Glen Carruthers, Jan Aldenhoven
Christmas Island, a speck in the Indian Ocean, is an Australian Territory which was not invaded by humans until 100 years ago. For most of that time, it was attacked by phosphate mining companies which destroyed a quarter of the island's rainforest covering, leaving it open to the ravages of erosion by salt, wind and storms.
This is the background to Kingdom of Crabs, the first film by husband and wife team of Glen Carruthers and Jan Alderhoven of NSW, which shows the island's main inhabitants, 100 million red land-crabs, in their journey from their rainforest home to cast their young into the sea. This is a perilous journey, especially when they encounter human inhabitants. The film also captures the rare spectacle of waves of tiny youngsters returning from the sea,
After shooting the film over three months from November 1987, the two filmmakers had considerable input over all stages of production, including editing, writing the commentary (Jan Alderhoven) and even suggesting concepts for the music. The result is an integrated effort, combining stunning photography with an intelligent overall approach which makes viewing a fascinating and unforgettable experience.
There is an unfortunate post-script. At the very time the Melbourne Film Festival screens Kingdom of Crabs, the future of Christmas Island is being decided in Canberra. The choice is between a national park or another twenty year phosphate mining lease ... -(GH)

Q&A with Miguel del Valle: Touting a scandal-free resume
BY ABDON M. PALLASCH Political firstname.lastname@example.com Dec 4, 2010
Updated: February 7, 2011 12:14PM
City Clerk Miguel del Valle was the first candidate to declare for mayor. Almost alone among the top candidates, del Valle has no scandals or controversies to answer for.
For decades, he was the soft-spoken but effective leader of the independent bloc of Hispanic legislators in Springfield, tackling education reform, college affordability and protecting day laborers.
From his childhood in a cement-block house in Puerto Rico, he later earned a master's degree and rose to become Illinois' first Hispanic state senator.
He talked with the Sun-Times during a break from fund-raising calls at one of his campaign offices in Little Village.
Q. Why do the polls not show your candidacy catching fire-
A. For one thing, I won't take money from people who have contracts with the city. People say, "Well, he's not a prolific fund-raiser.'' That's true. Look at the connection between the contracts and the decisions that get made. I tell people my phone didn't ring in four years [as City Clerk] from people trying to get a contract with the city because people know where I stand. And in this campaign, I said from the very beginning all candidates ought to [refuse money from city contractors]. Does that put me at a disadvantage because I'm not going to raise the kind of big money that the others raise- I'm not the consummate political insider like Gery Chico or people like that who have done very well off of city government over the years.
Q. All the other candidates have some [potential] Achilles' heel . . . -- [as a U.S. Senator, Carol Moseley Braun met with Nigerian dictators without telling the State Department; Gery Chico headed a law firm that went under; Danny Davis took a prominent role at a ceremony honoring the Rev. Sun Myung Moon; Rahm Emanuel could be called as a witness in the retrial of former Gov. Rod Blagojevich; the Rev. James Meeks has used racially-charged language on the pulpit.] -- but the closest thing you have to a "scandal" is some say you "sold out" as an independent when you let Mayor Daley appoint you City Clerk.
A. Sold out- When [former Clerk Jim] Laski had his problem and resigned. I put out the word I was interested. The mayor said he would like to talk. I do hear from some of my reform friends, who say, "Well, you're not critical enough of the mayor." My job as city clerk is to record the work of the City Council and be a point of access to the public. We've done that through our website, through the webcasts of the city council. We've made it easier for people to get information. In four years, not once has the mayor talked to me about the clerk's office. His chief of staff never asked for anything. My job is not to grandstand whenever I disagree with the mayor. Prior clerks did that but I felt it was not appropriate. The effect is I was silenced for four years. I went from being a vocal advocate on issues like housing and education to not constantly beating the drum as I did as a legislator.
Q. You had no side-jobs [while] in the state Legislature-
A. Twenty years in the General Assembly, my total income was my legislative salary. And I put a couple of kids through college. You sacrifice an awful lot. That is why I feel so strongly about access and affordability because the average family cannot afford college these days. My daughter is in her first year of law school at Stanford. She graduated with a 3.79 GPA from Yale. You know how much she'll owe in loans after three years- $148,000. That's with a scholarship! I am so passionate about education because I see how doors can be opened up. My kids' lives will be as different from mine as mine was different from my mom's. She lived in a shack with a zinc roof. I remember [spending nights at my grandmother's house] as a child, as a 3-year-old, the sound of raindrops on the zinc roof, which was wonderful, it put you to sleep. You'd hear the raindrops just falling, falling, it would lull you to sleep. Those things remind me just how many opportunities we have here."
Q. You were born in Puerto Rico.
A. I came here when I was 4 years old. My parents worked for Zenith on Austin. I went to four or five grammar schools. Every time the rent went up, we had to move. I started at Lane Tech High School, then transferred to Tuley High School, now Roberto Clemente. I got my bachelor's and master's degrees at Northeastern, working part-time year-round with the Union League Foundation for Boys and Girls Clubs. I became the executive director of the Association House, part of Jane Addams House. In 1986 I ran for stateSenate.
Q. You took out [state Sen.] Ed Nedza. No one thought you could.
A. I took out Eddie Nedza from the 31st Ward, who was [Ald.] Tom Keane's driver. He kind of inherited the 31st Ward when Tom Keane went off to jail. Harold Washington wanted me to run for alderman of the 31st Ward.
Q. He wanted you to take out [Ald.] Miguel Santiago-
A. Yes. I told him, "With all due respect, Mayor, I've made my decision. I want to shape public policy in the education arena and I think the best place for me to do that is in Springfield." I had been involved in a lot of education issues, the drop-out rate, adult education. I helped start an alternative school that is still operating today, El Cuarto Ano, that means "the fourth year" in Spanish. When we were kids our parents and relatives would say to us, "You have to finish El Cuarto Ano." That was the goal -- graduate high school. You never heard "college." My mom had an eighth-grade education. My dad had one year in high school.
Q. What were your proudest achievements in the state Senate-
A. The 1988 School Reform law, the one that created Local School Councils. We changed the compulsory attendance age from 16 to 17. I sponsored several bills I worked with then-State's Attorney Daley on. Your paper did a series ["Bitter Lessons'' by reporters Roger Flaherty and Leon Pitt] on the abuses of proprietary schools. We were able to pass a bill to get graduation rates reported. There are a lot of good schools, like DeVry, but then there are a lot of lousy schools. You see them all over downtown. I had legislation to crack down on cosmetology schools. I worked with Daley on that. I teamed up with then-Rep. Anthony Young and Paul Williams to create the judicial subcircuits in Cook County. To this day I feel the creation of the subcircuits is what opened the doors to African Americans, women and Latino judges.
Q. And in that very first class, you elected [Machine Ald. Miguel Santiago's wife] Leida Santiago.
A. Well, we knew that would be the case, but also, in that same election, without the support of the political organizations, we were able to elect [independent] David Delgado. It did open up the door to get independents elected.
Q. The first education reform was the Local School Councils, and then eight years after that . . .
A. Around '95, there was the Republican Chicago school reform bill, that turned over power to Daley.
Q. How did you feel about that-
A. I voted "no.'' At the time, I was concerned about there being total control on the part of the mayor's office. I was concerned because of the history of Chicago politics. In retrospect, I think the mayor did a decent job with trying to improve the schools, construct new schools. But it obviously hasn't been the answer because we still have a lot of underperforming schools in the neighborhoods. We cannot build enough and create enough academic options for our kids. The families that stand in line, waiting to do an application to get their kids into a selective enrollment or magnet school. We still have some inadequate facilities as we saw when Whittier Local School Council tried to save a field house to build a library. That exposed the fact there are over 100 schools without libraries.
Q. What would you do differently as mayor-
A. I would start with sharing responsibility with the City Council for the tough decisions that have to be made. I want a strong mayor and a strong Council. I think the Council, through its processes, has to deliberate, unlike in the past. They have to grapple with these tough issues, such as: Where is new revenue going to come from- Where are we going to make budget cuts- If you are talking about a meter privatization plan or a lease plan, you want a lot more deliberation. Under my administration, I predict you're going to see many more divided roll calls from deliberation and debate and some real soul-searching on the part of aldermen.
Q. You're promising to bring divisiveness to the City Council-
A. I am promising to bring a process of deliberation that will have aldermen assume more responsibility for the tough decisions. If you've got a proposal to lease Midway Airport, that has to be kicked around for a while. All the small print needs to be looked at. We need proponents and opponents chiming in.
Q. Shouldn't it just be one day the aldermen are presented with it: Vote "yes'' or "no- ''
A. No! [He laughs.] Those days will be over under my administration.
Q. Daley prided himself on 49-1, 48-2 roll calls on his budget. What's the problem with that-
A. I'm different. I think there is a problem with that. That has to change. It doesn't mean that the mayor is going to just turn over everything to the City Council. What will be different is I won't say, "That is the only proposal that is going to be considered." I will encourage people to modify, strengthen my proposal. I think Council oversight over contracts above a certain level is certainly in order. The more eyes you have on something the better, more scrutiny, more transparency.
Q. Has Daley been a good mayor-
A. I think, generally speaking, the mayor has been good for the city and the city is progressing. We need to take the city that works and convert it into the city that works together. We still have too much isolation. We still have areas of despair, food deserts, areas without jobs. There's a hell of a lot of work that needs to be done.
Q. Have you felt consistently about the mayor for 20 years-
A. I think this mayor grew on the job. I think the mayor was not very secure in the first few years in his own mind. Maybe that's what led to some of the political organizing: the creation of armies made up of political patronage. While on the one hand, it allowed the mayor not to rely on ward bosses, on the other hand, it was wrong to have mechanisms in place that allowed for preferential treatment for certain individuals in return for their involvement in political campaigns. That's wrong.
Q. [What do you think of] Tax Increment Financing-
A. I think TIFs should be what they were originally intended for: to help blighted areas develop. I think the creation of the Central Loop TIF moved us away from that. Over the years the evolution of TIFs has taken us off course. I think we have too many TIFs. We have, what, 159 TIFS or something like that- If you're providing millions of dollars to corporations downtown, then there ought to be a solid commitment for job creation. If the job creation doesn't occur, you shouldn't get the dollars.

Skywriter Lyrics - The Jackson 5
Review The Song (1)
Sweep your silver pen,
Across the sky So high
Won't you write the biggest
I love you
Cross the sky
She don't read the letters
I write anymore
Sorry I upset her
But I wasn't sure
Now I know I love her
I hope that she will see
A message high above her
That you write for me, yeah.
Hey Hey
Send a box of cande
And flowers every day
Still she wouldn't listen
Her pride got in the way
Now it's up to you
It won't fade away
Write it on the heavens
Love will make it stay, yeah

The Best Song Evr. | Reviewer: Paris McCartney | 8/2/14
This is the best song I ever heard in mi entire life. You know they all had & still do have lots of potential. No matter if they aren't together anymore. I know that that they know that they'll still be a family. They never gave up. What they did was kept on moving forward. I wish them the happiest of their lives, & hope their legend's will live on.
