At least that's what I had thought before tasting ChocoVine, a mixture of chocolate, Dutch and French cabernet sauvignon made in Holland by a division of Dekuyper.

With the taste of chocolate and $ 11 price would be easy to dismiss as chocolate liquor from a poor man, like Godiva, but ChocoVine is a totally different.

It's thinner than a liqueur and tastes like milk chocolate with a shot (14 percent alcohol). It can be sipped on the rocks, added to coffee or as a base for a variety of cocktails. It is also good for up to six months after opening.

Vi ChocoVine in Tulsa area stores a month ago, and more sold fairly quickly. Another shipment came in last week, so check with your favorite stores for availability.

But that high price to make a better cup of coffee? While Technivorm reached the proper temperature, the testers said it was very easy to use.

While most are closed on national channels - though a few places like Starbucks and IHOP is open - Some local businesses may be open.

Freezing rain is already falling this Christmas morning. Temperatures are below zero and will remain until the end of the morning to noon.

While light rain falling this morning, the ice forms along the trees and other elevated surfaces cooler. If not treated, can become slippery roads.


The potential is there for a glaze of ice to form on these surfaces before freezing rain became rain this afternoon. Most places can expect up to a quarter inch of ice accumulation, with higher amounds about a half inch possible in the southwest of Roanoke in the New River Valley.

Rain ends tonight.

It's a good thing that Philadelphia is pedestrian and mass transit easy, because many of the side streets have not seen the business end of the storm plowed snow from this weekend.

"Some of the smaller ones like St. Albans, Pemberton, I looked down and they could never seemed to leave now. Only a car capable of going down them, and that's just anyway. And now they are completely impassable, while the more standard, Fitzwater, Catherine, who are doing a little better. "

No as I hit, the Braves dealt Javier Vazquez (along with Boone Logan) to his former team for Melky Cabrera and a couple of pitching prospects.
Not that I'm disappointed with the treatment, since the Braves acquired as something like Vizcaino Arodys Tehran in July (less than 20, the power arm), but was waiting to see more MLB-impact players (Nick Swisher ... ahem) that Melky Cabrera and lefty Mike Dunn (24).

Of course, Cabrera (25) is a switch-hitter who fields well and hit .274 last season, but only belted 13 homers last season and definitely not help fill the power vacuum Atlanta has in his garden.

Matt covered the $4 million in proposed service cuts. This post looks into the various funding shortfalls that are building up in Metro's budget.

To avoid greater fare increases or service cuts, the budget, like last year's, takes some money away from future obligations. Borrowing from the future could stave off cuts that reduce ridership further and force more people to drive, but it also creates a bigger hole later than Metro must then dig itself out of. The longer the bad budget years persist, the bigger the hole
