What You Missed: The Best of Our Weekend Posts

Every Monday at this time we put together a list of the most notable posts from our weekend staff, for the benefit of those who didn't check the site over the weekend. Here's what you missed.

• The best labor for home remodeling? On-duty firefighters.
• Hundreds tried out for a reality-based "Glee" spinoff.
• Who's watching the watchers?
• A salmonella outbreak at some Jimmy John's shops was traced back to tainted alfalfa sprouts.
• Prescott offered some holiday cheer with a little help from Wesley Willis.
• The Senate votes to repeal "Don't Ask, Don't Tell," which means soon the Taliban will be pissed that they're being shot at by some openly gay soldiers.
