A new version of the dirty martini can now be found at the Fifty/50 bar in Chicago. It’s the “Dirty Governor Martini.”
The $6 drink is made from “Effen” vodka (in honor of the governor’s favorite adjective), olive juice and pimientos. But no olives — they were stolen, bar co-owner Scott Weiner said.
So, here’s to the Guv. May there be many bars in his future.

Professor Carol now offers a complete self-study course covering 300 years of music.
This romp through music history (and many other historical topics) combines 13 hours of DVD video with a 3-disc listening set from Naxos and a 236-page course book.
From the birth of opera to the Leipzig coffeehouses frequented by Bach and Schumann, from the Orthodox cathedrals of Moscow to Tin Pan Alley, from scientific discoveries to bloody revolutions, spooky dramas and shoe styles, Carol chronicles it all with her unique commentary.
