Resolved Question: Can anyone recommend a few wines similar to this one?

My favourite wine is Blossom Hill White Zifandel, its a very fruity, sweet and crisp rose wine made in california. It doesn't have a very 'alcoholy' taste to it, and it tastes like watermelon and strawberry to me. I have tried all the whites and other rose wines in the blossom hill range. I like very sweet, fruity and fresh tasting wines. Red's are a definate no, they give me heartburn!! I am always trying out new rose wines, and i find it hard to come by a wine that tastes as good or better than this one!! Does anyone have any suggestions?? more

Open Question: R&P, I made some lyrics?

Here's some more. Again, I'm trying to write something different from my style, so it may not be the best. "Change Of Seasons" This world is a philosophy a philosophy of nothing but lies as time ticks and skips backwards I get one less thought of my life. Talking to a rusty old glass to take just a little peek of what's on the other side, but it's my own reflection that I see. The rainbow turns to black and white while statics dance vividly the full moon still remains bright but the sky falls down right in my face. Seasons stay, when I'm awake. Seasons change, when I'm insane. (chorus) When did the snow get so warm? summer sun, lost in winter storms orange leaves flying in the rain flowers bloom, just to die again. (end of chorus) Why do I keep running? when there is no end no stars, no light to chase to no place to stay that I depend. I feel like when dreaming is so damn impossible and the answers to my pride remains as a hidden riddle Seasons stay, when I'm awake, Seasons change, when I'm insane. (chorus) Swimming in red wine... sweet, sweet divine... Swimming in red wine... Drunken by my memories! Seasons change, when I'm insane... (Chorus) --------------------------------------… Is it good? more

Open Question: i have this story i want to know what pepole think ?

I love you 　They say roses are red and violets are blue and they also say people fall in love on valentines day or some don’t even believe in love But what happened to romance and adventurer sailing the high seas and sword fights and wining the beautiful maids hearts then walking along the beach after the fight and looking into her pretty eyes and saying the your most prettiest thing I ever met and then she says shut and kiss me and then he kisses her and they fall in love………..I guess that s a fairy tail of mine but they also say Some are born great, some achieve greatness, and some have greatness thrust upon 'em maybe that’s kind of like love ? some are born to love some achieve love and some have love thrown upon them……………………..#1. some are born to love those are the people who fall in love at a young age or child hood sweet hearts they don’t have to really work at it just happens sometime it works out and sometimes it don’t . #2 some achieve love those are the people who work for love some work to hard at it, some have what it takes, and some don’t some, are good lookers and some are not good lookers, some are lucky and are not so lucky but they all one thing in common they work at it. #3 and some have love thrown upon them theses are who fall in love at first sight or there not paying attention and the bang there in love they didn’t mean to fall in love it just happened well nothing really just happens there is cause and effect but some times in a rare special moment like our hero who saves the damsel in distress or some one who is force to get married and there not in love but in time they fall in love .

Resolved Question: Can you find a simile or metaphor in this poem?

Our assignment is to find 2 similes & 2 metaphors but so far, I've found one of each! So can you help me out? (; Pablo Neruda translated by Jodey Bateman Ode to the Artichoke The artichoke With a tender heart Dressed up like a warrior, Standing at attention, it built A small helmet Under its scales It remained Unshakeable, By its side The crazy vegetables Uncurled Their tendrills and leaf-crowns, Throbbing bulbs, In the sub-soil The carrot With its red mustaches Was sleeping, The grapevine Hung out to dry its branches Through which the wine will rise, The cabbage Dedicated itself To trying on skirts, The oregano To perfuming the world, And the sweet Artichoke There in the garden, Dressed like a warrior, Burnished Like a proud Pomegrante. And one day Side by side In big wicker baskets Walking through the market To realize their dream The artichoke army In formation. Never was it so military Like on parade. The men In their white shirts Among the vegetables Were The Marshals Of the artichokes Lines in close order Command voices, And the bang Of a falling box. But Then Maria Comes With her basket She chooses An artichoke, She's not afraid of it. She examines it, she observes it Up against the light like it was an egg, She buys it, She mixes it up In her handbag With a pair of shoes With a cabbage head and a Bottle Of vinegar Until She enters the kitchen And submerges it in a pot. Thus ends In peace This career Of the armed vegetable Which is called an artichoke, Then Scale by scale, We strip off The delicacy And eat The peaceful mush Of its green heart. -- any help is appreciated !

Resolved Question: I would like criticism (praise was nice last time, but now I want brutal honesty!)?

The village of Baconville had never seen a happy fair in all its existence. Each one turned sour and grim, full of slaughter and destruction. At least, that’s how I remember it. None of my memories from that place are especially vivid. I cannot even recall the names of my foster parents, nor the reason I was brought to them in the first place. All I know is Baconville was a greedy little mountain village with too much time on its hands to do much more than prepare great fairs and destroy them with just as much pomp and fervor. It was these ridiculous fairs that forced me to leave. Naturally. I can do no more than flee. Yet I know the processions often skitter down the hillsides, their feet torn up by the crags. And where am I now? I am in Follynax Town, where all is gray and soupy like an endless fog. I do not miss home. I am far from their vile ways. I feel unburdened for the first time in twenty years. Let me recount some very important events. I am skipping the details like I so often do in my melancholy…. A sweet-faced woman strutted down the cracked brick road. Her pale hair was dressed in daisies and sprigs of rosemary. She wore a lively grin and a lacy, pearl-white coat over her wine-red gown. In the frosty autumn air, she was happiness made visible. “Rodolf! Wait ‘till you hear this!” she exclaimed, dashing in front of a sleepy Clydesdale and to a man across the street. I presumed his name was Rodolf, for he clasped the woman in an embrace and whispered something in her ear. The woman then proceeded to tell him her news. Now, the news she had to tell wasn’t all that important. From my shop window, I saw them smile at each other. So great was their joy that I cried into my handkerchief for some time. I had not the foggiest idea why these two people were so happy, yet it still made me teary. As the sun overhead broke through a curtain of clouds, I jolted forward to the very edge of the window. I pushed aside the dusty white drapes, unlatched the window, and leaned out with arms wide. I found myself grinning. The sun spread her cozy rays over my skin and brought warmth to both my heart and pale, dry skin. I glanced at the heavens, at the shuddery disk of gold in the sky. Then I focused my attention on the brick street once more. Mayvair Lane was barren, save for the couple I had been gazing at moments before. Now they were dancing. Rodolf had a rose between his teeth. His auburn hair swung around his shoulders as the couple spun across the empty road in infatuation. Once again, I found myself smiling for them. more

Resolved Question: What are some tips for a good cioppino?

Im making mine with red onion, garlic, green and yellow bell peppers (makes it pretty lol), saffron, cockles (or some other kind of clams), plum tomatoes, orange, lemon, basil, parsley, bay leaves, oregano, salt and pepper and skate wings for their sweet scallopy flavor. I was just wondering whats the best wine to compliment it. I would add a white wine into the broth since white wine goes best with fish but then again, a white wine may be way too light and probably wouldn't be able to stand up to the tomato broth. However, red wine may be too heavy so I was thinking a rose wine would be great to cook it in since it would be neither too heavy or light and is in between the red and white wine. Then again, a Sauvignon Blanc is a suitable white wine since skate is a white flaky fish, but Im afraid that its citrus notes might keep the skate from showcasing its delicate flavor. So a nice dry rose or Sauvignon Blanc? Any other tips? Should I add anything else? I was also thinking about adding dungeness crab but Im a bit hesitant since skate is what i want to display. Any other changes? Gonna have this Friday because of Lent. Thanks. more

Resolved Question: How to deal with your sister?

Ok, as with all family drama, I could go on and on in details, but I'm going to try and make this short and sweet. Just going off the past week, my sister has: played footsie with my husband under the table at dinner, smashed a cupcake into my 10yr old's eye(believe it or not it was quite painful),poured red wine onto my carpet(wasn't an accident but she played it off like she was too tipsy to realize not to do it),ran me down on my birthday(to my face) about how horrible I look after two kids, showed up late to my 5yr old's birthday and left early, told me I didn't deserve the new house my husband and I are buying, and to top it all off today she told me that my two year old was a horrible child because of my "helen keller parenting". I suppose because I ignore tantrums and I don't restrict his play area to his bedroom only this lead her to believe this. I'm just really getting fed up and don't know what to do. I also should mention that two years ago, with similar situations going on, we ended up not speaking for almost a year. I don't want this to happen again, but I'm really getting fed up and don't know what to do to pacify the situation between the two of us. By the way, if you say anything to her, she'll write you off. So a simple, "please, don't play footsie with my husband or criticize my parenting" will lead to an all out fight that will lead to same thing as before. Advice please! more

The tang of lemon zest compliments the creaminess and sweetness of the avocados. Swiss Chard Soup with Miso and Orzo Orzo and tomatoes are juxtaposed with Asian ingredients here. Minted Spinach Soup with Yogurt Cheese and Toasted Pine Nuts Mint and spinach dance gracefully in this dish as the yogurt cheese and pine nuts give it a texture and taste that dazzles the senses. Herbed Butternut Squash Soup with Chive and Sweet Red Pepper Yogurt Cheese The creamy comfort of butternut squash and the heat from the red pepper create a mix of flavors that creates a new twist on an old classic. Pureed Fennel Soup with Julienned Carrots and Toasted Walnuts The subtle sweetness and licorice flavor of fennel plays well with the crunch of walnuts and the sweetness of carrots. Gazpacho This cold soup is a very refreshing dish. It has crisp layers of flavor, unlike those tasting like confused salsa. Entrees Roti of Homard with Vanilla This mouth watering roasted Homard, a type of Lobster, is sure to enlighten the taste buds with the delicate favor of vanilla. Cocotte of Bacon and Country-Style Cabbage The savory, rich, and salty flavor of bacon play around with the bitter flavor of cabbage in a way unexpected.

Sea Eel Royale with Truffle Sauce The fishy taste of eel and truffles with wine create a combo layered with many levels of flavor, creating many subtleties the keep you wanting for more. Squid Ink Risotto The saltiness of squid ink is a welcome inclusion to a risotto made with the finest rice, topped with shellfish and prawns.

There's none of these so lonely and poor of old, But, dying, has made us rarer gifts than gold. These laid the world away; poured out the red Sweet wine of youth; gave up the years to be Of work and joy, and that unhoped serene, That men call age; and those who would have been, Their sons, they gave, their immortality. Blow, bugles, blow! They brought us, for our dearth, Holiness, lacked so long, and Love, and Pain.

Resolved Question: Wine recomendations? Semi-Sweet Red?

I've been looking for a semi-sweet red for ages. I like dry, but sometimes I prefer something a litter sweeter with a red body. Any recommendations? We typically drink cherry wine when the urge for something a little sweeter hits- but it's too sweet at times. more

Resolved Question: Poem analysis help please?

Here is the peom by Andrew Lang: "Money taketh town and wall, Fort and ramp without a blow; Money moves the merchants all, While the tides shall ebb and flow; Money maketh Evil show Like the Good, and Truth like lies: These alone can ne'er bestow Youth, and health, and Paradise. Money maketh festival, Wine she buys, and beds can strow; Round the necks of captains tall, Money wins them chains to throw, Marches soldiers to and fro, Gaineth ladies with sweet eyes: These alone can ne'er bestow Youth, and health, and Paradise. Money wins the priest his stall; Money mitres buys, I trow, Red hats for the Cardinal, Abbeys for the novice low; Money maketh sin as snow, Place of penitence supplies: These alone can ne'er bestow Youth, and health, and Paradise."

Resolved Question: I had alcohol poisoning a few days ago.. full story inside HAVE SOME QUESTIONS!! answer them? :]?

Hey guys and girls =) First of all this is long.. so if you dont like long stores.. dont read it! haha So anyway.. I had alcohol poisoning a few days ago and now I have some questions.. Well heres the whole story first - We had a big christmas party at this hall and there were ALOT of people there who were getting drunk (mostly older people, not teens) I ate ALOT that day. ALOT of sweets and just alot of food in general, and then well this one guy offered me some vodka. At first i said no thanks but later on when he left I wanted to try it again. I only tried it twice and that was about a year ago.. anyways i remember pouring the vodka into a empty water bottle.. Like you know a regular sized water bottle for when you work out? (about bigger than your whole hand) Anyways i remember drinking half of that little bottle and then mixing red and white wine in 1 big glass and chugging that. Then about 15 minutes later i finished the other half of the vodka. I'm 16 btw, and weigh 140 pounds. I remember getting REALLY drunk. I went to my sisters apartment who wasent there at the time, and i remember i recorded myself on camera.. i know WTF!? But anyways then i remember NOTHING. I remember falling off a chair and laughing and then i dont remember anything.. So anyways heres the rest of the story from my sister- when she walked in the bathroom where she found me lying on the floor in my own vomit. So she tried to wake me up but i didnt budge. She called 911 and they took me to the hospital. I was hospitalized for 5 hours and when i woke up I remember my Mom standing there and i thought this was a dream.. OMG can you believe how EMBARRASSED I WAS!?!? it was awful!! But anyways the doctors told me I didnt have a pulse and that i had REALLY high blood pressure and I almost died.. I was really close. So yeah.. theres the story. I know its long, but bare with me lol Anyways.. i wanted to ask you some questions.. How do i NOT get alcohol poisining next time? because i know NOTHING about safe drinking. And im talking bout like "getting drunk" safe drinking. Not like a glass of wine.. Because im sure i will be drinking in the future sometime so i really really really need some help about this. Like do you know what causes alcohol poisining the most? What can i do to avoid it? Whats some ways to get drunk without having this? Is mixing drinks okay? THANK YOU SOO MUCH! and sorry its so long xDD more

Resolved Question: What do you think of what I've written so far?

Prologue I looked out the window. It was dark outside. Nighttime. I don’t remember anything of what happened before I fell asleep. Actually—I don’t even remember falling asleep. I don’t recognize this room either. It’s dark and the furniture, a sofa and an empty bookshelf, smell like they’ve been here for years. The floor wood is rotting and there is a bottle of wine in a corner. I stood up from the sofa, pushing a blue blanket off of me. The sofa smelled way too bad. I looked around for a door. There wasn’t one, but I realized that there was something else out of place. My senses are heightened. I can see perfectly in the dark and there I can catch the scent of snow even though the window is sealed shut. I felt and sensed everything around me. I felt strong, yet weak. I felt as if I could lift up that sofa, but I also felt like I would faint at any moment. I was running out of oxygen and somehow, that bottle of wine seemed to be calling to me. Something moved. I turned around and jumped back against the wall. A trap door opened and I saw Ricky come up. His expression was distant as he watched me. “Echo,” he said in his British accent. Usually it would make me melt, but right now I was appalled. “What did you do to me?” I demanded. He opened his mouth to say something and looked away. “I'm sorry,” he said softly. “You had to survive. Turning you was the only way to make sure of that.” My heart dropped. This isn’t happening. Chapter 1 I walked down the steps of our castle. I still question why my father chose to buy this place. The castle has always reminded me a lot of Dracula’s castle. It’s gothic inside and out. Medieval. And when you live in New York, medieval is the least thing that you’d expect to see. The outside is layers of huge black blocks and the inside is dark and gothic. It was just good that our family didn’t follow the style. Our family is quite big, but the castle is still millions of times bigger. There are twelve children total. My brothers are Michael, Markus, Nick, Shane, Xavier, and Bruce. My sisters are Whitney, Dakota, Carmen, Hope, and Rebecca. And my father cares for all of us by himself. Our mother died when Hope was born because she bled to death. I was fourteen when this happened. I remember that my mom had long red hair, a sweet smile, and pretty blue eyes. She had been so loving and caring. The perfect mom. The whole family had different styles, but I was the one who stood out among them. At school they fit in and I didn’t. This was because I was classified as the “Goth” of the family. People always looked at me like I was a freak for dressing differently. Though, they don’t realize that styles mean much more than fashion. It’s a description of one’s activities. Preps cheerlead, for instance. Goths are isolated, to put it simple. My footsteps echoed throughout the empty halls. I was wearing black boots, black skinny jeans, and a black tank top. I was wearing thick black eyeliner that stretched at the corner like the Egyptian make up, which was called ‘cat eye,’ and I was wearing thick fake eyelashes. My hair was straightened and half of my bang covered half of my face while the other part of the bang was cut short to brush my right eye. My hair was dyed black and the roots were bright red. I walked through the hallway where the armor of two knights stood with swords. The walls were gray and the floor was black carpet. I was headed for a wooden door that led into the kitchen, where I was sure an empty room waited. The kitchen was big, like every other room in the house. It was the only thing that wasn’t gothic in this place. It was white and orange. There were two refrigerators because to feed such a large family, you need a large amount of food. Half of the room was taken up by a table where we ate breakfast. I walked in and I saw that my brothers and sisters were there. The only one missing was Markus, my twenty year old brother, who had moved away to South Dakota to attend college. Carmen, my eldest sister had light mahogany colored hair and sage green eyes just like everyone else in the room, and was wearing a blue strapless shirt and black skinny jeans. Dakota was wearing shorts and a white spaghetti strap. Shane and Michael, the twins, were dressed identically, for the first time in ten years. They were dressed in jeans and Lil Wayne shirts from last night’s concert. Nick was wearing skinny jeans and a graphic t-shirt. Nick was a year older than my twelve year old sister, Rebecca. Rebecca was dressed in a nice blouse and a jeans skirt. Whitney was wearing Capri’s and a flower shirt. Xavier was wearing a simple shirt and basketball shorts. Bruce was dressed casually in jeans and a t-shirt. And Hope was in her high chair, dressed in a pretty purple dress. I stared at them oddly. It was seven in the morning on a Sunday. My siblings were known for sleeping in until noon on weekends, so I was surprised to see them all up at this houAHHH! im sorry it was cut off. you can read the rest here: http://lumeniscent.weebly.com/story-2-huntress.html more

Resolved Question: Please read and comment on my 3 poems? :) Thank you!?

Hey I wrote these ages ago last year.. you can tell me what to improve on if you like. Please be nice. Sorry about my grammar. - Throughout the golden dawn The sun will run and seep Along and through sweet grasses and hills both high and deep The saphire creek will shimmer With all his jewels embossed Slipping over pebbles Granite rocks adorned with moss Until the trees shall dance Within the clinging air The morning breath of daisies face sky's blue stare The mocking bird does sing to start the brand new day Shadows Pass away Bringing Morning's golden ray Until the river runs red: We’re underneath the table Crouched low to the ground I’m playing hide and seek Yet we’re not to make a sound Objects spiral through the air Putting on a show Mum reminds us once again To keep our heads down low My chest is beating faster Like the sound of the whizzing rockets For some reason I should feel scared As Mums eyes twitch in their sockets I stare out of the window Now slightly shattered glass Something captures my attention Little Susie’s running past She turns around, grabbed by the arm She can’t get herself free To face a man with much alarm Tears run constantly I see some men at red water's edge Their mouths must quench with thirst They drink silently, arms outstretched They battle to get there first He was found in hide and seek; A game of life or death He would never see Susie again As he observed her one last breath The rockets turned on him Bullets fired overhead How much blood must be shed Until the river must turn red? Phantom of the Opera: He wears his mask without his pride His black hair sits beside it His eye a deep blue, Full of Mystery Holds a spark of insanity behind it But still his love remains a tune, Forever flowing gently A song of Opera, spirit, soul Though his heart still wines intently But as he sings she doesn't turn Upon the half-white face But stands there delicately, a wildflower Her petals bloom of lace He is a bird trapped in a cage, Dreaming to be free He is nothing but a hidden man a man in love with thee. Thanks guys! :) more

Resolved Question: What is my malfunction? Is there something wrong with me? Am I sick in the head? Help me?

Ok here's the deal. I'm a tomboy/punk/emo girl that is 16. I'm a bit of a depressed individual but I don't stay that way for long. I can have my happy moments that can last a while but I will go back to depression eventually. But anyways, I've been having really werid dreams lately. Well actually it's been going on for a about a year now and it's never really bothered me too much. It wasn't until I told a friend about it and he was really freaked out about it and scared for me. I told two close female friends and another male friend about it and they had the same reaction. To them they say that the fact that I don't find it a big deal is very odd and that it's a continuation dream is rather disturbing and stuff like that. So I'm coming on here so I can see if they are right and get more opinions about this issue. Ok, first off it's not the same dream repeating over and over again, it's like a continuation type dream. Such as after I wake up, go through normal day and go back to sleep it'll pick up almost where it stopped, even if I forget about it. Second is that sometimes when I have this dream I talk to the person and my mom or aunt will hear me talking and responding thinking I'm talking to myself. And thrid sometimes in my dreams I have these flash back and it shows me how my day will go and when I wake up things that I had flashes about happens. Kinda werid to me for that part. But getting down to it, here is a bit of information on the person in it, short infomation about the dreams, and things that happened in my dreams recently: In the dreams there is always this man, it's always me and him. He's very tall about like 6'4, with a peach skin tone, athletically built body, has long waist length black hair, has bright orange eyes with black eyeptach on his left one, a deep yet soothing voice, has really long claw like nails that is painted black, is either wearing all black or shirtless, he calls himself Nameless, and is always smiling in a sinister or sweet way. The setting is what I would make out to his masion that can take place in a dungeon like basement, outside, in his bedroom, or sometimes if I manage to get away in long hallways. He does many things to me from playing little games, dressing me up, dining together and sleeping together. But mostly he loves to torture and rape me. Yes it can get very graphic, bloody, and brutal depending on his methods or torture. He has many way of torturing me. Here are a few of the ways: ~ He would either chain me to the wall with my arms above my head or hang me by the arms. Some times he'd duck taped my mouth shut or put something in my mouth sometimes he wouldn't. He'd take off my shirt and would lick my belly and tickled me. Then cut me all over with whatever pleases him and licks all of the blood off when he's done. ~ Tie me to a chair, take a thread and needle and starts sewing patterns or poems on my skin. ~ Rub my skin with sandpaper and pour lemon juice or red wine on my wounds. ~ Hangs me up on a really big dart pad and throws very sharp and big darts at me. ~ Sets me down in a chair and holds me tight as he pokes at my eyes with a needle or pokes through my tongue. ~ Sticks needles all over my body while I'm blind-folded. ~ Use a knife and he slowly cuts off skin. ~Puts me in a tub full of snakes, spiders, ants, other things that bites and he kisses me as I slowly get eatten alive. Creepy things that he does to me: ~ Rapes me ~ Eats food off my naked body ~ Dresses me up like a doll ~ Walks me around on a dog leash ~ Makes me sleep with him chaining my right ankle to the bed. ~ Makes me be his maid and do house work and give him baths and personal messages. ~ He sings to me while poking different parts of my body ~Sucks all over my body leaving big hickeys ~ Chats with me nicely ~ Tells me dirty things he'll do to me while touching sensitive and private parts of my body. ~ Enjoys scaring me and makig me cry and licking/kissing my tears away. ~ Chasing me around like he's going to kill me. ~ Plays patty-cake with me Those aren't even the begining of the dreams and what goes on in them. I kinda enjoy some of the things he does to me. And now thinking about it, it freaks me out and gives me chills a bit. What do you guys think? Is this something totally out of it and I need to get some help? Or is this a normal thing? And no! Scary moives don't effect me and I don't watch that many of them. I'm not obsessed with vampire and things like that. Just so you don't put things like that up cause I know that's not the factor. All opinions and responses are welcome! Also please be 100% honest with me guys. No matter how mean or harsh you think your answers will be I need the total truth so I can see what's wrong with me and if I need help or not. Casue I think everythings is fine. Thank you. more
