These might be interesting. I'm not that big on it being organic, but if it tastes good, I'll drink it. Here's the details:
The Fruit Lab collection currently consists of three certified organic liqueurs made from hand-selected whole ingredients, including fresh, local oranges, flowers, teas, spices and cane sugar. The makers hand-process each ingredient carefully to capture bold, complex flavors and aromas.
Made in small batches, the flavors were designed to be easily incorporated into simple and modern cocktails.
The three flavors are:
Citry (orange) - Combines the familiar aromas and flavors of fresh Valencia and navel oranges, with the haunting scent of Bergamot sour orange. Bright and complex, Citry works well in any cocktail requiring orange liqueur, including the margarita and cosmopolitan.
Crism (hibiscus) – A powerful balance of the sweet-sour nature of hibiscus flowers. The combination of fiery red color, floral aromas and tangy berry flavors make Crism an ideal medium for modern, colorful martinis.
Theia (jasmine) – Like a night garden infused with flowering jasmine, Theia evokes a harmony of the exotic and the familiar. It’s as comfortable in champagne cocktails as in martinis, or simply with soda and of lime.
You can check out their site HERE.

This contest is only for tickets to the game. You have to provide your own transportation, which isn't all that great unless you don't mind coughing up the cash for a flight, or live close enough to road trip.
Scottrade is giving away a trip to the MLB 2009 All Star Game in July. Here's the details:
The Grand Prize is two tickets to the 2009 MLB All-Star Game exhibition, scheduled to take place on July 14, 2009 at Busch Stadium in St. Louis, MO.

I've never really thought "Man, I wish I could fire up the grill and make some meatballs". Yet suddenly I want to see if it would be worth it. Here's the details of the Meatball Grill Basket:
Our ingenious grilling tool gives smoky open-fire flavor to homemade meatballs. The sturdy stainless-steel basket has 12 perforated wells to drain excess fat as meat is infused with flavor and browns perfectly. With the lid closed, the meatballs are held securely in place and out of the fire. The removable polypropylene handle makes the basket easy to turn – just flip it over for even cooking. The basket works with beef, lamb and poultry as well as vegetable mixtures.
You can grab one of these for $50 over at the Williams-Sonoma site HERE.

First off, you need a 2010 Shelby GT500 (which you can read about HERE).
Once you have the car, Shelby will install Shelby a new supercharger to the 5.4L DOHC V8 which will bump it up to 725hp. They also add in an upgraded intercooler and radiator, a cold air intake, and a high-flow JBA exhaust system, to handle the supercharger addition.
There's also a 630hp upgrade, but I'm not sure I see the point. The 630hp upgrade will cost you $29,495, while the 725hp will set you back $33,495. If you're already in for almost $30k, might as well go all the way, cough up the extra $4k, and get the 725hp version.
You can check out more details of the upgrade over at Motor Authority HERE.

I've been horribly remiss about writing up the review for this.
I had a bottle of this around for a while, and finally broke it out at a small party recently. By itself, I thought it was good, but a few people thought it was a little too much. Where it really shines though, is when it's mixed with something. In our case, we mixed it with Sprite.
The best thing I can say about it is that absolutely everyone liked the mixed drink version. Even though we mixed it about half and half, everyone thought it was very smooth, with a great, but not overwhelming, cherry taste.
I recommend getting a bottle of the Three Olives Cherry Vodka for any party. Actually, you might need to get two or three, because it's going to be popular.
You can check out the Three Olives site HERE, and they have a great Bartender's Little Black Book that has over 70 recipes in it.
