Wine Fridge?
We bought a new home and are renovating the kitchen. We want to buy an under-counter (“built in”) wine fridge (24″ wide). Does anyone have a brand recommendation? We are considering Kalamera (on Amazon) but our major appliance dealer doesn’t carry that and recommends Summit, which is more expensive. I’m nervous about ordering a wine fridge from Amazon. Any advice?

The blue dress story is cute but I don’t understand it at all – in this era of technology, how could someone running be faster? I understand they couldn’t bring phones into the courthouse, but then why didn’t the news agencies have people waiting right outside the courthouse with cell phones to share the news as soon as the people inside got out and told them what happened?

She very likely did (likely someone a couple blocks away for them to call it in asap) but for high profile matters, there is a clearance outside the courthouse for security purposes and designated spots for media – these would be stationary cameras to get footage of everyone coming out. The problem with one designated place right outside the courthouse for all of the reporters is that when she reported her news to her next-in-line, the other sources around them would have scooped her – she ran so NBC could break the news.
