Lipstock LASIK and Cataract Center
3701 Westerre Parkway, Suite A
Richmond, Virginia 23233
(800) 229-9877
Kenneth Lipstock, MD, is a board-certified ophthalmologist who specializes in cataract surgery and laser vision correction. He is one of the few cataract surgeons in Central Virginia to perform the most advanced form of cataract surgery, known as "no needle, no stitch, no patch" cataract surgery. Dr. Lipstock has successfully performed thousands of refractive surgeries throughout the course of a prolific career spanning more than 25 years and has earned a reputation for excellence in Richmond and throughout Central Virginia.
The "no needle, no stitch, no patch" method of cataract surgery minimizes complications and promotes quicker recovery periods. Dr. Lipstock begins the procedure by numbing the eye with eye drops. This practice differs from traditional cataract surgery, during which surgeons completely sedate the patient in order to use a needle injection to administer the numbing medicine. Dr. Lipstock then creates a microscopic incision in the eye, carefully extracts the clouded lens (the cataract) and implants an intraocular lens implant (IOL).
Dr. Lipstock utilizes a variety of advanced techniques to reduce or eliminate the need for eyeglasses after cataract surgery for both distance and near vision even for those over the age of 40. Patients can choose from a variety of IOLs, including the Toric and the accommodating Crystalens. The Toric IOL treats astigmatism, and the Crystalens improves a patient's ability to change focus between objects at various distances, enabling one to both drive and read without glasses. Dr. Lipstock also performs Limbal Relaxing Incision (LRI). Performed during cataract surgery, this technique creates tiny incisions in the edge of the cornea that correct for astigmatism.
Dr. Lipstock also performs LASIK after cataract surgery to help eliminate the need for corrective eyewear. In fact, he was Virginia's first surgeon to perform LASIK vision correction after extensive training in Columbia, South America, under the mentorship of a laser eye surgery pioneer, Dr. Luis Ruiz.

The best cataract surgeons in Richmond can correct
for the vision loss caused by cataracts and offer
treatment for presbyopia during
the same surgical procedure.
Kenneth Lipstock, MD, graduated with Summa cum Laude honors from Queens College City University of New York. He then completed a Doctor of Medicine degree at the Virginia Commonwealth University School of Medicine. Dr. Lipstock performed an internal medicine internship at the Nassau County Medical Center in East Meadow, New York, and an ophthalmology residency at the Medical College of Virginia. Dr. Lipstock then studied abroad under world renowned eye surgeon Dr. Luis Ruiz, the inventor of the surgical instrument that made LASIK possible. Dr. Lipstock co-founded the International Center of Refractive Surgery with Dr. Ruiz. Dr. Lipstock is also the former President of EyeQual and President of the Virginia Ophthalmic Network. He is a member of several medical organizations, including the American Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgery, the International Society of Refractive Surgery, the Virginia Society of Ophthalmology, the Medical Society of Virginia and the Richmond Academy of Medicine, Inc.
Dr. Lipstock remains active in the latest cataract surgery research and has recently presented his findings in Charlottesville, Chicago and Paris during the annual meetings hosted by the Virginia Society of Ophthalmology, the American Academy of Ophthalmology and the European Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgery.
Dr. Lipstock was born in Long Island, New York, and has resided in Richmond, Virginia, for more than 30 years. He is happily married to Joan, with whom he has three boys. The Lipstock family enjoys outdoor activities and is involved in community programs that foster the education and social support of autistic children and young adults.

Jim Valentino: Broadening the Base and Raising the BarA comics interview article by: Jason Sacks
Jim Valentino is one of the most thoughtful and interesting comics publishers around. I had a chance to catch up with him at February's Image Expo, where Jim and I had a chance to talk about the amazing early days of Image, what sets Image Comics and Jim's Shadowline apart from other comics companies and a few other interesting topics.
Jason Sacks for Comics Bulletin: So, I've just been interested in hearing everyone's stories about how Image was founded, how you got involved with it and how the company kind of evolved over time.
Jim Valentino: It started with Rob [Liefeld]. Rob wanted to create his own comics; it actually started at a dinner in 1991 in San Diego. Rob, Erik and I were out to dinner with Dave Olbrich, who was the editor and chief of Malibu at the time. And Rob asked Dave if he would publish a book by him. Dave said, "Yeah, of course." He said, "Would you publish a book by me and Erik [Larsen]?" He goes, "Yeah, of course," "A book by me and Erik and Jim Valentino?" "Yeah, of course." And throughout the rest of the summer, Rob was talking to the three people that he was closest with: Erik Larsen, Todd McFarlane and me, and trying to convince us to join him in this venture. Rob and Todd then went to New York, they ran into Marc Silvestri in a hotel and told him what we were doing, [then] Marc's in. They had a couple of talks with Jim Lee and, after a bit of hesitation, Jim Lee's in, boom.
CB: What was your motivation for wanting to leave Marvel at the time? Everyone was doing really well financially, selling a lot of books. Your Guardians was really popular.
Valentino: You know, I actually wanted to finish the story that I was writing on Guardians. I didn't actually want to leave Marvel until I was done with my story. That was really important to me, but that wasn't in the cards. I started doing underground and alternative comics, so to me driving my own ship was just a natural force of events. It wasn't an anti-Marvel thing, it was more a pro-comics thing. It just made more sense to invest in myself.
CB: Now, there's a great story about Marvel getting in the middle of people's comics, coming in with crazy suggestions that made no sense. Did you have a lot of that or did you have some freedom at Marvel too?
Valentino: I had a lot of freedom because my book was outside of Marvel continuity, but perversely, the editor told me that the colorist was more important to the book than I was, and I was writing and drawing the book. I basically created the milieu. I didn't create the characters, but I created the milieu under which they were revamped. So the lack of respect was there, certainly.
CB: Right, that's what Image is all about, taking the bull by the horns, so to speak, and doing something you felt like you could respect and be happy with.
Valentino: Yeah, and respect in others and their right to own their own creations.
CB: Because one of the key things is: you guys are partners, you don't overlap, you really are your own, you don't interfere with each other. Was that a big part of the company when you started thinking about it?
Valentino: At the very first meeting, we had two rules that we had all agreed on. Despite all rumors to the contrary, most of the time, the meetings between the partners were fun and very funny. We cracked each other up, mostly making fun of other people. Okay, I'll do a Todd McFarlane because everyone has to, "Bud, let me tell you bud." Yeah, so we'd do that, too. Actually, everyone does Rob doing Todd, not Todd himself. That's a distinction; Rob is a great impressionist.
The two rules were: number one, Image Comics, Inc. would never own anything, except the Image "I," and number two was that each partner would be fully autonomous, one from the next, and we would never interfere with one another. So what that means is [that] I could start Shadowline and Erik could do Savage Dragon untill the day he dies, and it's perfectly OK. No partner interferes with each other. Image became the umbrella co-op, if you will, under which we would be buying power. It gave us absolute freedom and the power of a unified whole, so we had the best of both worlds.
CB: You took off in the first few years. The books were more popular than the Marvel books. You only had seven books and you outsold DC's entire line?
Valentino: Yeah. That's true.
CB: That must have been amazing times, rock star days.
Valentino: Yeah, it was pretty heavy times. I mean, we were in the eye of the hurricane, but we saw the hurricane. That was sort of the hidden clue, books were selling out, people were lining up. We kind of thought something was going on.
CB: Yeah, something going on. Like the time you got to Chicago and you had to be outside the convention floor.
Valentino: We didn't do that, they did that.
CB: Because the lines were so insanely ridiculous that if you were inside, no one else would have gotten anyone to come to their table.
Valentino: Yeah, we got a lot of crap for that, but really it wasn't our deal. We didn't do that, the organizers did that. And I think there were like 2,500 people who walked past us a day. So all we saw was an endless stream of belt buckles and that was it. You sign your name, look up, "Hi, how you're doing?" Sign your name, look up, "Hi, how you're doing?"
CB: So how was that?
Valentino: I got a kink in my neck.
CB: I mean, I always wonder, first of all, why people stand in line just to get a signature.
Valentino: I don't know, you have to ask them.
CB: Did you really feel like you were in the eye of the hurricane? Literally, it sounds like you were rock stars.
Valentino: Yeah, it was very much. Yeah.
CB: Okay, Jim.
Valentino: Well, I don't like to, but for the record, that's cool. Yeah, we were like rock stars and we knew it. Todd is still a rock star; Jim is still a rock star.
CB: In those early years, did you feel like it would keep going forever? That you were gonna keep selling through the roof, or did you have a feeling that, eventually, the market would correct itself?
Valentino: You know, I think that all of us were so busy doing so many different things. Don't forget, we were trying to do our books, we were trying to build a company. We were all trying to build our own companies, we were being pulled in a hundred different directions constantly.
I don't know that anybody really gave much thought to that. Not any real conscious thought. I think we all knew that we had something special, and part of that was timing. Part of the reason the books sold like they did is that we were in the middle of a speculation boom. We had Rob Liefeld, Todd McFarlane and Jim Lee leading, and they were the three most popular creators in comics at the time. So we knew we were onto something special, but we were also busy and running around like heads with our chickens cut off.
CB: It must have been just awesome, though. How was the transition from just being a guy who created a comic to being a guy who's suddenly co-managing a company and really managing his own line inside it? The level of stuff you had to deal with on a day to day basis had to be a whole level of different.
Valentino: Yeah. I think everybody just kind of grew into it. You just sort of handle things as they come to you, and I think we were all able to do that. I think everybody in the company, all the Image partners, have an entrepreneurial spirit. There are guys who only want to write or guys who only want to pencil or ink or color or whatever it is, and that's fine. They specialize in that. There are other guys that just have to do it all, and I think you had six guys who just had to do it all, everything.
CB: Todd put it something like, he was one of the people who really pushed you guys to -- as he put it in the panel yesterday [at Image Expo] -- jump off a cliff together.
Valentino: Yeah, Todd always says that. It wasn't Todd, no. It was Rob. Yeah. In the Todd universe, yeah, but it's Rashomon, basically; everybody has their own version of the story.
CB: So, it was Rob. How did Rob persuade everyone to join him?
Valentino: Well, you know Rob is one of those people with infectious enthusiasm. And Rob was 22 years old, I think, at the time, and he was bouncing off of walls. It's a good thing he didn't drink coffee, because if he did, I think his atoms would have just gone in different directions. He just has this infectious enthusiasm, and he kept hammering everybody for an entire summer, "We gotta do this, we gotta do it. This is gonna be cool."
CB: Do you feel like everyone was brought in to the idea of going solo, or did you have to be persuaded to join in? It sounds like almost right away, from that fateful meeting at the hotel with Silvestri and the X-Men summit, that there was huge enthusiasm, but were people still afraid? Was it hard to make that big leap, you think?
Valentino: Well, I think everybody was different. I mean, Rob wanted to do it, obviously, because he started the whole thing. Erik signed on immediately. I was a bit hesitant because I wasn't on a million selling book; I wasn't a millionaire. I had five children and a mortgage. I wanted to do, it but it was a risk, and Todd was retired at the time. So I got a call from Todd before they left for New York, Todd said he was in, and once Todd said he was in, that was it for me. Because I knew at that point, I wasn't sure about me and Rob and Erik, but with Todd being in on it I went, "Okay." It was the return of the biggest creator in comics, finally doing books again.
CB: Right, I forgot about that. So he was back. You guys launched and you did great and then immediately started grabbing other creators, too, to work with you guys. I guess for them, being the second generation made it a lot easier to grab all those people.
Valentino: Well, again, it depended on the person. There were guys that were just like, "OK, I get it and I'm willing to", as Todd always puts it, "jump of that cliff." And there were other guys that didn't get it and couldn't jump of the cliff, for whatever reason; they didn't have the business acumen, they didn't want to deal with it, they didn't understand that this wasn't Marvel or DC where a whole production department would do it. It meant that you do it, you do it all, and they were a bunch of guys that either (a) didn't want to do it or (b) didn't know how to do it.
CB: But they were stuck with the middle-men then at Marvel and DC.
Valentino: That was their choice. And it's a legitimate choice. You had the option and you still have the option -- everybody has the option. You can work for one of those companies and have a guarantee that you're gonna get a paycheck and somebody else is gonna take care of production and trafficking and advertising and promotion and all that, or you have the choice of owning everything and doing all of that yourself. And the thing is that there isn't a guarantee; you could fail miserably or succeed spectacularly. So I've seen a lot of guys that have done really great books that didn't make any money, , but then again you have your Robert Kirkmans who come in with several different ideas, one of them takes off and that's really all you need.
CB: That's what the Image Expo is all about. It's you guys really lined up to your promise and your dream twenty years ago.
Valentino: That's the thing I am most proud of, the fact that Image Comics still owns nothing. We have never taken a property from anyone; we've allowed creator ownership straight down the line and I'm really proud of that.
CB: It has been a tremendous achievement. You're actually kind of unique in that you're about the only line that has such a wide diversity under one umbrella, everything from Morning Glories to Green Wake. What's your philosophy for Shadowline?
Valentino: It's basically diversity. I want to see either an original idea or an original take on an idea. There's no philosophy other than good comics. It's not genre-oriented, just whatever is cool. Green Wake's a horror story, Twenty-Seven is about rock and roll, Bomb Queen is a sociopolitical sexual satire and it just goes on and on like that.
CB: So what do creators get for working for Shadowline versus working for Image Central?
Valentino: It's a lot. Shadowline's a lot more hands on because it's a lot smaller. I do no more than five books in any given month. So they get a lot of hands on attention, they get as much as they need. If it's a creator like Ted McKeever, he just does whatever he wants to do and we stay out of his way. We have an editor that comes in and makes sure that words are spelled correctly and commas are in the right place so no one gets arrested for comma abuse.
CB: That's a big crime.
Valentino: It is -- a crime against humanity. I've been arrested for it a couple of times. So they have that, an editor who will hopefully make them look good. And when they send in emails or questions or stuff like that, they get answered immediately because Shadowline is so small. That's the biggest difference.
CB: So I'm sure the question you get more that anything is, "Tell us how to submit."
Valentino: What I ask for is a very brief, one paragraph story synopsis, not the plot, the story. Tell me what happens; why am I interested in this story? And then I want to see five finished pages, and only five. Not six, not twelve, not 472, just five, and I want to see a cover. Some people think it's too little to judge something on. No, because if you don't know your story well enough to break it down to a paragraph, if you can't interest me in those first five pages… And I want to see page one through five -- not the back of the book, not the most exciting thing of the book -- one through five. I am a firm believer that the first rule of journalism also applies to every other creative medium -- don't bury your lead. Bring people in: "It was the best of times, it was the worst of times," you understand exactly what he means, but you don't know how he got there. That's what pulls a reader in. Pull the reader in, pull me in, with the idea, the execution, and then we start talking.
CB: So, I've been closing all the interviews with the question that I'm positive that I know the answer to: when you see what you're able to accomplish 20 years ago and then you look to see where you are now, how do you fell about it? Do you feel like you've accomplished what you hoped to accomplish?
Valentino: I think we're still doing that; I think we're still on the road. I feel very vindicated. The pundits were predicting twenty years ago that we wouldn't last for six months. And here we are, 20 years later, sticking to our guns, doing what we said we would do. I don't think we're done by any means; I think we're still progressing and growing and changing. And I think for me, especially right now, for the last couple of years, every studio, every partner, Image Central -- all the components that make up Image -- have just been knocking [it] out of the park, left and right. We've all got incredible books of the widest range, I think, of any publisher ever in terms of the kind of books that we're publishing and that we're willing to publish; the formats, the genres, just everything.
And it's not a line that's meant to appeal to one reader, in other words, kind of like Marvel. It's sort of the anti-Marvel, if you will. Not that there's anything wrong with Marvel, but Marvel has a specific kind of book, and most people who are buying Marvel buy the whole line -- the X-Men line, the Avengers line or whatever. Image is the exact opposite of that, not every single book that Image publishes is going to appeal to any one person. But any one person should be able to find at least one book in our line that they can get behind and enjoy, and I think that's cooler.
I'd rather have it so when you go into a store, you're not looking for an Image book, necessarily. You're looking for a good book, and Image happens to publish it.
CB: What you're getting from an Image comic is something from a creator's heart that they own, that they manage, therefore you know it's not going to be...
Valentino: Manufactured.
CB: Manufactured.
Valentino: Yeah, it's a creator's vision, and that's the coolest thing in the world. Not all creators are going to appeal to all people, so by having a wide range, there are people who are gonna absolutely love Ted McKeever, people who're gonna love Jimmie Robinson or Kurtis Wiebe or whomever, and that's great. That's awesome, in my opinion, so hopefully we can broaden the base a little bit and raise the bar a little bit.
Don't miss the rest of our series of interviews with the Image founders!

Fourth of July just wouldn't be complete without the big booms and bright lights. But fireworks also pose a big danger for fire departments.
On average, Lincoln Fire and Rescue crews get between 40 and 60 calls in a 24–hour period. This year's Fourth of July, they got 81 calls, at least 20 of them were fires. But unlike previous years, they weren't grass or bush fires.
"This one has been kind of an unusual year. We had, actually eight structure fire," says Battalion Chief Derald Murrell of Lincoln Fire and Rescue.
The fires are still being investigated, but Murrel says most of them were likely firework–related.
One near north 27th and Folkways left a family without a home after a firework started a fire underneath their apartment balcony and quickly spread. Another, at a home near Wilderness Ridge, was caused by a flying lantern.
I spoke to Senator Russ Karpisek over the phone. He pushed to get the lanterns banned in 2013.
"They are very pretty. I'll admit, when they're floating, they're very pretty. But it just seems pretty dangerous when you just have lit fire floating across the sky and you can't guide where it's going," he says.
The bill didn't pass, but fire officials recognize the danger the lanterns pose.
"They go up, they get in the breeze, they fly blocks and blocks and blocks away from where they were lit, and they get caught in trees, they get caught in roofs," says Murrell.
Fortunately, no one was hurt in any of the holiday fires. Exact estimates are still being determined, but Murrell says the damage was substantial.
Airport officials also voiced concern this holiday weekend, stating that lanterns could get sucked in plane engines, or liter the runway. Sen. Karpisek is termed out and won't be returning next legislative session, but hopes to see more measures taken to ban the lanterns.
As of last year, only seven states have legislative bans on the lanterns. Nebraska is one of six states with some action taken at the local level, but none state-wide.

My Favorite Wife (Photo credit: Wikipedia)
What would you do if you were in this predicament?� Your lovely wife was on board a ship that was lost at sea.� Seven years pass and during that interim you've been working hard at your law career� and you've met a new woman to be a wife and mother to your children.� Seven years is the legal amount of time that has to pass before you can have someone missing declared legally dead, so you go to a judge you know and have your first wife declared legally dead.� Now you are free to marry your new lady love, and you do so.� On the afternoon of your wedding day, right before you and wife #2 are to leave for your honeymoon, guess what?� Wife #1 appears!� She's alive and well, and was stuck on a deserted island for these past seven years!� What would you do?� This is the plot for a delightful comedy called
My Favorite Wife
, released in 1940, by
RKO Studios
Cary Grant
plays Nick Arden, our hero-lawyer of the movie, and
Irene Dunne
is Ellen, wife #1.� Gail Patrick is Bianca, wife #2, and Randolph Scott portrays Stephen Burkett, a handsome man who also survived the same shipwreck as Ellen, and was on the deserted island with her.� A fact that Ellen humorously tries to keep Nick from finding out about.
Nick has a major problem on his hands; wife #1 isn't dead, so legally they are still married, yet he has just married a second wife, who has no idea that Ellen has resurfaced.� He has to find� a way to break the news gently to Bianca, who is puzzled as to why they haven't left for their honeymoon yet, so she calls in a psychiatrist, Dr. Kohlmar,� to come out to Nick's house and try to talk with him about his reluctance to get on with the honeymoon!
Ellen, meanwhile, doesn't want Nick to know about Stephen, her island buddy, so she recruits a mild-mannered, shy shoe salesman to pretend to be Stephen so Nick won't feel jealous.� However, an insurance adjustor contacts� Nick and tells him that there is a rumor going around town that Ellen wasn't alone on that deserted island and that she and her island buddy called each other, "Adam and Eve".� Nick decides to track down this� island buddy and discovers for himself that Stephen Burkett is strong, athletic, and quite handsome!� Nick, while dealing with Bianca and Dr. Kohlmar, has a new problem crop up when the police arrive at his home to arrest him for bigamy!
This film is what is termed a "Screwball Comedy" as the situations that the characters find themselves in are so funny and utterly unbelievable.� The film was directed by Garson Kanin, produced by
Leo McCarey
, and written by Leo McCarey, Samuel Spewack and Bella Spewack.� It was loosely based upon a poem by
Alfred Lord Tennyson
, "Enoch Arden", about a sailor lost at sea, who survives on a deserted island for seven years, only to be rescued, returns home to find his wife remarried to his best childhood friend, and with a new child by the new husband.� The poem has a sad, yet noble ending.� Fortunately for us� the movie has a better ending; the entire movie� is a delightful romp of comedy and romance.� It did earn a big box office profit� for RKO, and it was nominated for 3 Academy Awards: Best Story, Best Musical Score, and Best Art Direction.
Cary Grant displays his comedic timing to perfection in this film, trying to keep all the plates spinning, so to speak, before they all come crashing down.� Irene Dunne is� great as Ellen, trying to convince her husband that she still loves him, despite being stuck on a deserted island with the very handsome Stephen.� The supporting players all do really well with their parts, portraying their characters with sincerity, and believability.
The film was such a hit, that in 1962 Twentieth Century Fox began filming a remake, titled Something's Got to Give, with Dean Martin, Marilyn Monroe, and Cyd Charisse reprising� the roles.� Monroe was eventually fired for not showing up to film her scenes, Martin quit when the studio attempted to refill Monroe's part, and the project was shelved.� After Monroe's death, the studio recast the movie with Doris Day, James Garner, and Polly Bergen and retitled it Move Over, Darling, releasing it in 1963.� It is a funny movie too, in color,with songs by Doris Day� but for my taste, I prefer the original with Cary and Irene.
So pop up a big batch of popcorn, grab a soda and a comfy spot to sit.� My Favorite Wife is available for sale at Amazon, it will be� shown on Turner Classic Movies on February 12th, and it is available to rent from Netflix.

It's time to make predictions on who the Vikes will pick in the NFL draft, and the staff of the Daily Norseman roll out their choices.
The NFL is having legendary players announce the second (or third) round selections for the teams at this year's NFL Draft.
One NFL team doesn't appear to like TCU quarterback Andy Dalton. . .and for the strangest of reasons.
We look back at all of the things that Rick Spielman has said thus far about the Vikings' 2011 Draft possibilities.
We're trying to get a focus on who you, the fans, think the Minnesota Vikings will select in the first round of this year's draft.
Ryan Mallett recently visited with the Minnesota Vikings, and he seems to think that things went well.
Here's a study about how well teams have drafted over the past five years. The Vikings are right up towards the top.
Mel Kiper and Todd McShay have both updated their mock drafts.
The Vikings might take a quarterback in the first two rounds of the 2011 NFL Draft. Then again, they might not. Nobody knows for sure.
The Vikings' first round pick for the 2011 SB Nation Mock Draft is in!

Sutton station operating on 'train by train basis' after electrical explosion - Southern and First Capital Connect passengers warned of further delays
Updated 4:05pm Tuesday 25th February 2014 in News By Mike Murphy-Pyle, Chief Reporter
All lines to Sutton station are now open following an explosion earlier today, but travellers have been warned delays are continuing.
The station, in Brighton Road, was closed for several hours this morning after an electrical cable exploded under the platform at platform 2.
Workmen start repairing the faulty cable on platform 2
The incident caused travel chaos across south London with no trains able to pass through the station and one train stuck between Sutton and Carshalton for three hours.
Although Sutton station has reopened, staff there say they are operating on a "train by train basis" with all services subject to sudden cancellations and delays.
It is understood the explosion was caused by a fault and means up to three-quarters-of a-mile of cable now needs replacing.
Commuters have been advised to allow extra time for their journeys this evening.

Are we already looking at one of next year's Best Actress nominees? With three Oscar nominations and one win under her belt, Nicole Kidman is no stranger to the awards season, and while The Weinstein Company is hoping to see some love for "Silver Linings Playbook" and "Django Unchained" at the Dolby Theater tonight, they've already got their eyes on next year. In recent days they snapped up the rights to the Idris Elba-starring biopic "Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom," and now they've got another true-life tale added to their slate.
Harvey's company is picking up the rights to "Grace of Monaco," the film directed by "La Vie En Rose" helmer Olivier Dahan, featuring Kidman playing none other than screen icon and royal, Grace Kelly. Set in 1962, when the city-state/tax haven of Monaco got into a heated dispute with France, Charles De Gaulle gave Kelly's husband Prince Rainer III six months to change his tax laws. The actress/royalty maneuvered behind the scenes to save Monaco from a coup. Tim Roth, Paz Vega, Parker Posey, Frank Langella and Milo Ventimiglia co-star and the Weinsteins are banking big on this one, paying a reported $4 million for the rights with a P&A commitment worth $10 million. Damn.
You can take a look at Kidman as Kelly in the first official images above and below. And with "Grace of Monaco" joining 'Mandela' and "August: Osage County," with an ensemble led by Meryl Streep and Julia Roberts, on Harvey's forthcoming roster, you can bet he'll be back once again at the Dolby Theater in 2014 in full force. [Deadline/Scanbox/Bleeding Cool]

Amy Adams would have been a perfect Grace Kelly. I don't understand how Nicole was cast in this. Adams is a superb talent and has a naturally beautiful face. She doesn't look botoxed into oblivion like Kidman.
Glenn | February 25, 2013 7:00 AM
I believe the film is set around Kelly's late 30s or early 40s so Kidman's age really isn't an issue.
Stef | February 24, 2013 11:32 PM
Not at all appropriate to play Grace. Too old & too much work done to her face. Nicole's a talented woman but not right for the part January Jones resembles the princess most accurately but she's been typed cast as cold unfeeling women in every movie she's done so idk how great her acting chops are... & Grace was far from cold & unfeeling. Naomi Watts is a good runner up to January for resemblance to the princess & she's undeniably has the acting skills needed.

It goes without saying that, if you have sex, there is always the chance that you will become pregnant. No birth control method is protected from contraception failure. That being said, effective birth control does exist! There are actions that you can either take or not take that can enhance the likelihood that your birth control works and lower your chances of getting pregnant. The following are 10 things you should stop doing if you want more effective birth control:
1. Stop Believing All the Myths You Hear
One of the greatest hurdles against finding effective birth control is misinformation. The more educated you become about birth control, the better contraceptive choices you can make. If you believe in certain myths, you may not actually understand how to not become pregnant or how a method actually works to prevent pregnancy. Be wary of certain websites that may be run by crisis pregnancy centers because these sites may try to mislead you into believing that certain birth control methods may be ineffective or harmful (which is not normally the case). Believing in certain birth control myths may also negatively affect your choice to use a particular method, so you may choose to use a less effective birth control method simply out of not knowing the truth.
Do You Hold Misconceptions? Consider the following statements -- true or untrue?
2. Stop Putting Off Birth Control Discussions with Your Partner
Have you been afraid to bring up the topic of contraception with your partner? Some women think that their partners may question their love if asked to use contraception. The fact of the matter is, if you are trusting enough in this person to have sex with him or her, you should be able to have discussions about what you're going to do to avoid getting pregnant. Research shows that if you are in a serious relationship, you will be more likely to correctly and reliably use contraception if you have discussed it and both partners have agreed upon a method. Even married couples need to have these conversations.
Are you done having children? Then it's time to discuss your feelings about seeking a permanent method. Do you want to have your tubes tied but are unsure? Discussing your thoughts about obtaining a permanent procedure can help you in your decision-making process. Maybe you are afraid of asking your partner to get a vasectomy? Would you prefer your girlfriend/wife to use a hormonal birth control method?
Along the same lines, you may be hesitate to have this conversation because you may only feel comfortable using natural family planning and are not sure how your partner may react. Yet to have effective birth control, not only do these preferences need to be discussed, they should be talked about ahead of time... before you have sex. If not, you may find yourself in the "heat of the moment" without a birth control plan. This may increase your chances of getting pregnant.
Also, when discussing birth control with your partner, it is important that you are honest about your sexual history (past and present). Most methods do not protect against STDs, so even if you choose an effective birth control option, you may need to consider whether condoms should be used as well. Also, having been exposed to an STD may affect the timing of when certain contraceptive devices, like IUDs, can be inserted. So, it is important to know whether you fall into this risk category.
3. Stop Thinking You Don't Have a Variety of Contraception Options
Now, more than ever, there are so many effective birth control options available. Contraceptive methods have come a long way since the FDA approval of the pill in 1960. Women have more choices beyond needing to take a pill each day or insert a diaphragm before having sex. Hormonal methods like NuvaRing and the Ortho Evra Patch allow women the same effectiveness as the pill without the need to swallow pills. Femcon Fe is actually a chewable birth control pill. Barrier methods have even evolved to include cervical caps and female condoms. Plus, many women are thrilled that the Today Sponge is back on store shelves.
With so many available options, it is important that you do your research before you choose a method, so you can make an educated decision. This may require that you learn how to interpret birth control failure rates. Before choosing a birth control method, make sure to ask about side effects. Research shows that women are more likely to continue using a birth control method and tolerate its side effects if they are aware of these potential effects before beginning use.
Also, once you have picked your method of contraception, don't assume that you know how to properly use it. User error is the number one cause of contraceptive failure, so make sure that you read and follow all of the instructions that come with your birth control method. For example, would you know what to do if:
- You can't feel your IUD strings?
- You forget to change your patch?
- You travel between time zones while using the pill?
- Your NuvaRing falls out?
- You want to switch to a new pill?
You should also be aware of what may lower the effectiveness of your method, like medications or weight, as well as how to properly store your birth control. Also, don't let your contraception ruin your vacations, so plan ahead if you want your birth control to work while you are away. See, if you want effective birth control, it's time you recognize all of your contraceptive options and understand how to use them.
4. Stop Buying the Wrong Condoms
There are such a wide variety of condoms to choose from. Latex condoms are the most popular and are effective at preventing pregnancy as well as STDs. But did you know that polyurethane and polyisoprene (non-latex) condoms can do this as well? Natural lambskin condoms may help prevent babies, but their small pores don't protect you from STDs. Over the years, condom styles have grown to include textured, flavored and colored condoms. But to make sure the condom you choose is an effective birth control method, you have to read the package to make sure that it is FDA-approved as contraception, and is not just a novelty item.
Also, keep in mind that condoms may not be effective if you buy the wrong ones. Using the wrong condom size can cause problems (like breaking or falling off) that may lead to condom failure. Condom sizes will affect your comfort and fit, so it is important that you buy the right condom. Condoms range from snug sizes, like Caution Wear Iron Grip Snugger Fit Condoms to extra large, like KYNG Extra Large Condoms, so you are sure to find the right fit for you. Research also indicates that the most effective condoms are the ones that fit properly. To help you from buying the wrong condoms:
5. Stop Having Sex
Hey, let's face it, if you are not having sex, then you will have super-duper effective birth control! The fact of the matter is abstinence is the ONLY birth control method that is 100% effective. Because of religious or moral reasons, people may turn to abstinence as their contraceptive method. Some people may simply not want to deal with the emotional side of having sex, while others are just waiting until the day that they can say "I Do."
Whatever your reason, practicing abstinence (a natural form of birth control) will basically guarantee that you will not become pregnant. So, this means that abstinence wins the award for most effective birth control. That being said, choosing to not have sex is a personal decision, and you are the one in control of this choice. If you decide that this is the route you feel the most comfortable taking, you should try to safeguard yourself against some predictable pitfalls. Some people may find it very challenging to remain being abstinent in the "heat of the moment," and may possibly give in to the temptation (and regret it later on). So, if not having sex is going to be the way to go, here are some tips to help you stick to your choice:
- Tips on Maintaining Abstinence and How to Say NO
- Readers Respond: Tips for Successfully Being Abstinent (either share your tips or read what others have had to say)
6. Stop Being Reluctant to Change Birth Control Methods
For some reason, it appears that women are reluctant to change birth control methods -- even if they are not happy with their current option. Perhaps this may be due to, in part, women not knowing how to talk to their doctors about contraception. Some women may want to use the pill but will settle for a less effective method because the pill isn't sold over the counter (and women may feel uncomfortable undergoing a pelvic and/or breast exam to get a pill prescription). But if you want effective birth control, you need to feel satisfied with the contraceptive option you are using. It is important that you are comfortable with your birth control's level of convenience/ease of use, cost, and that it fits into your lifestyle.
If you are not happy with your birth control method, you may be less likely to use it consistently, thereby making it less effective. You don't need to settle for a contraceptive you don't feel is right for you, yet 21% of women do. Physical side effects seem to be the main reason why most women opt for a birth control change. Psychological side effects (like mood changes) may alter your confidence level in using a birth control method; this may then cause you to believe your method is no longer effective or safe. Though most women who use hormonal contraception are happy and satisfied with their method, over half of these women admit that they seldom assess how well their birth control is fitting their needs.
Research shows that, overall, women tend to be most satisfied with permanent birth control, followed by birth control pills, then IUDs. But if you find yourself thinking that it may be time for a change, follow your instincts. Stop putting off this discussion with your doctor and start researching available methods. Ask your friends if they are satisfied with their methods and listen to what other women have to say. In the end, this is your choice, and you owe it to yourself to use an effective birth control method that you feel happy and comfortable using.
7. Stop Complaining That You Can't Use Estrogen Contraception
Okay, I understand that there are some women who cannot use hormonal contraception that contains estrogen. Even though the risk is relatively low, research does show that hormonal birth control may increase your chances of experiencing VTE/blood clots or other types of cardiovascular complications. The good news is that there are effective birth control methods that only contain the hormone progestin. Progestin-only options can be good and effective alternatives if you suffer from estrogen-related side effects, like high blood pressure, headaches, or severe nausea. Effective progestin-only contraceptives include:
Additionally, ParaGard is super-effective birth control that is also completely hormone-free.
To help aid you and your doctor in deciding if a progestin-only birth control method may be the right way to proceed, the World Health Organization (WHO) has developed a risk classification system to help determine medical eligibility for contraception use. Based on this classification system, progestin-only birth control options, as well as ParaGard, can be effectively and safely used by:
- Teenagers (though Depo Provera is not recommended for adolescents due to its black box warning about possible bone loss)
- Mothers who have been breastfeeding for at least 1 month
- Non-breastfeeding women who have just given birth
- Nulliparous women (those who have never given birth)
- Obese women
- Women of all ages (even over 35)
- Women who smoke (regardless of how often)
Progestin-only methods are also deemed safe by the WHO for women who are over age 35 and smoke. However, if you have multiple risk factors for cardiovascular disease (such as smoking, older age, diabetes, and hypertension), Depo Provera use is not advised. WHO advises that the benefits of using Mirena, Implanon, Nexplanon and the Mini-Pill in women with increased risk factors generally outweigh the risks for blood clots (and these risks are substantially less than with combination pills). There are no restrictions for ParaGard use in women who have multiple cardiovascular disease risks. Given all the progestin-only hormonal options available, don't allow your inability to use estrogen-based contraception get in the way of your quest for effective birth control.
8. Stop Relying on Your Partner to Carry Condoms
Yes ladies, it is time that you step up to the plate when it comes to condom use. It seems like many men just expect that you are on the pill, so they don't bring condoms or offer to use them. Even if you are using a hormonal method, these contraceptives don't protect against STDs, so unless you know and trust your partner's sexual history, you should be demanding that your man use condoms. Though you may worry what "image" you are giving off if you carry condoms, at the end of the day... would you rather have a questionable image or an unplanned pregnancy?
When you find yourself caught up in the "heat of the moment," what happens if you ask your guy to put on a condom, and he says he doesn't have one? Though women expect men to carry condoms, you can't just hope this is the case. Let's face it, men offer all kinds of excuses not to use condoms (and not having one usually falls on this list). To empower yourself as well as protect yourself against potential pregnancy and STDs, be prepared:
- Know how to respond to condom excuses
- Carry a condom (there are many cute and discreet ways to carry condoms)
- Use a female condom (and not even rely on your man -- these protect against STDs, too)
- Know how to insert/use a female condom
9. Stop Believing That Emergency Contraception Equals Abortion
There is a major debate about emergency contraception (EC) that stems from people's mistaken beliefs that EC terminates a pregnancy. If you think that EC causes an abortion, you may be less likely to use EC after contraceptive failure or unprotected sex occurs. This can put you at a much higher risk for becoming pregnant. The morning-after pill is not the same thing as the abortion pill. If you use it and are pregnant, it will not hurt your existing pregnancy. In fact, EC is meant to PREVENT a pregnancy, not to terminate one. Leading medical authorities consider a pregnancy to have occurred after implantation of a fertilized egg has occurred, and they define an abortion as the disturbance of an implanted, fertilized egg. This means that it's impossible for EC to end a pregnancy that medically doesn't even exist.
Not only is it important that you recognize the differences between emergency contraception and abortion, it is also critical that you don't fall into the trap of rationalizing that it's too late to do anything about your situation. Emergency contraceptives like Plan B One-Step and Next Choice can be taken right way and can be used within 72 hours (3 days) of unprotected sex or contraceptive failure to avoid an unintended pregnancy (some research even suggests that it may still be beneficial to use these methods up to 120 hours after unprotected sex). Both of these methods are available behind pharmacy counters (no need a for a doctor's prescription) for those ages 17 and older. If you are under 17, you can buy these with a doctor's prescription. Another EC option is Ella -- this works differently from Plan B One-Step (but still will not cause a pregnancy to terminate). You need a prescription to obtain Ella, and this method can be used for up to 120 hours (5 days) after unprotected sex. Some women get confused about how Ella works; if you use this method, you need to understand that Ella is only effective at preventing pregnancy from a previous act of intercourse (that occurred in the last 5 days), it will not protect against any sex you have during the days after you have taken it.
Emergency contraception can be an effective birth control method -- after the fact. To maximize your opportunity to use this method, you should understand who can use it as well as how to use EC. It is most effective the sooner you take it, so don't rationalize that you don't need it or believe in the myth that it will harm an existing pregnancy.
10. Stop Thinking That Getting Pregnant Won't Happen to Me
No birth control method (besides abstinence) is 100% effective. This means that the reality of the situation is, if you are having sex, there is the possibility that you will get pregnant. This chance increases if you are having sex without using contraception. We also know that about half of all pregnancies in the US are not planned (this statistic includes those conceptions that resulted in miscarriages, abortions, or live births). About 50% of the women experiencing these unintended pregnancies were actually using birth control during the month that they got pregnant. This tells us that allowing yourself to think that unplanned pregnancy happens to "other people" can be a risky way to approach the use of birth control.
Besides not using contraception, an unplanned pregnancy can also be due to a natural malfunction of the birth control method itself. In general, longer acting birth control methods or those that involve less for you to do, tend to be more effective. A sign that you may be pregnant is a late period. Your period is considered late if it has been more than 5 days from when you would normally expect to have it. If you find yourself in this situation, try to remember if you had unprotected sex (or experienced contraception failure) right before, during, and after the time that you would have ovulated. If so, you may need to change your thinking that getting pregnant won't happen to you. Though this can be a stressful situation to be facing, before you allow your emotions to get the best of you, try using a home pregnancy test to confirm if you are, in fact, pregnant.
For more effective birth control, you can't allow yourself to become careless with your chosen method. For the greatest chance against becoming pregnant, you must use contraception every time you have sex, and you have to be using it correctly. The following are some tips to help increase your success (and decrease your chances of contraceptive failure) with each of the following methods:

Of catchments and cowsby Sarah Mukherjee | Shared x 1
There aren't many water company meetings where a central theme of the discussion is how much the attendees love, or indeed hate, cows. But then catchment management is relatively new on the business agenda.
Over the last few years, water companies have started to run projects looking at how water quality can be improved by reducing the number of pollutants, like pesticides and fertilisers, that get into the water in the first place, instead of building treatment plants to remove those chemicals futher downstream.
The advantage should be that it's a cheaper solution than "pouring concrete", but there are a host of other potential benefits. Working with farmers to cut down fertiliser run-off reduces risk of algae growth, which can choke rivers of the oxygenated waters that fish need to survive. Restoring peatland, slowing down the speed at which water moves from sky to tap can, among other things, improve the colour of the water, but has many other benefits for wildlife.
This week, Water UK hosted a forum that brought together water companies, conservation groups and the regulators to talk about their experiences so far, and what role catchment management will play in water quality in future.
Much of the morning was taken up with case studies from four very different companies, but common themes quickly emerged.
Firstly, the amount of time the companies concerned have spent engaging with other organisations to get these projects underway. Some have secured match funding for projects from Natural England or the Environment Agency; another was working with charities like the Rivers Trust to deliver the water quality, and environmental, benefits. All companies talked about the many groups they had contacted when setting up the projects, and the incidental benefits this had brought in terms of educating and informing consumers.
Secondly, it was clear that catchment management provides local solutions to local problems, and the geographical links between companies and catchments are key.
Catchment management can provide a host of benefits, but is not without its problems. People attending the forum spoke of a wealth of information being available, but a lack of co-ordination between pilot projects, and there were concerns about how you scale up these projects to make them the norm rather than exception. But everyone agreed that, when it works, catchment management is a very useful tool. The challenge will be, especially in the current economic climate, to usefully extend this innovative work.

when doing them what are some ideal rep ranges for it. Im guessing 5x5 or 4x6. Im also guoessing you do these for strenght (low reps) and not hypertrophy or endurance(high reps)
5x5 or 4x6 is actually pretty high and I would assume you'd be using no more than 60-65% of your clean/snatch max at this sort of weight. Often times, olympic workouts have triples, doubles and singles.. maybe something like 2 triples at 80% of your max, 2 doubles at 85% of your max, and another double at 90%. But this sort of workout is later in a training cycle.. 5 at 65% for 2 sets, followed by 4 at 70% for 2 might be nearer the beginning of the cycle.
Basically, as with any other movement, you need to periodize olympic training to get a good benefit out of it. I would not go above 5 reps on sets, and I certainly would not do 5x5 at the same weight. That's a hypertrophy plan (as is 4x6) and the Olympic lifts are technique and power which require a lot more concentration. You'd burn out hard on 5x5 with any sort of real weight. Further, as technique is the most important thing, my fear would be that after the first 2 sets, you'd lose your form on reps 4 and 5. Losing your form on an olympic lift completely defeats the purpose of doing them.
so you recomend I do something like 2 sets of 3, 2 sets of 2, 2 sets of 2, and 1 set of 1. BTW. I only have the ability to do O-lifts so i do only them 3 times a week. how many lifts do you recomend for me to do in each W.O

Zionsville —
Current and former Boone County Commissioners who attended a reception honoring Charles Eaton (seated, center) Monday, Dec. 17, after his last meeting included Owen Hansen (front, left); Wendy Brant; (back, from left) Lebanon Mayor Huck Lewis; Commissioner Marc Applegate; former commissioner Larry Fry; former commissioner Byron Loveless; Commissioner Jeff Wolfe and former commissioner Bob Guernsey.
Eaton, who has served 19 years as a county councilman and is concluding his second term as a commissioner, chose not to run again. "I've really enjoyed working with you," said Commissioner Marc Applegate. "I look at you as a mentor." Commissioner Jeff Wolfe said, "We appreciate all your years of service."
"I've enjoyed it thoroughly," Eaton said. "The highlights greatly exceed the few lowlights. I want to give particular acknowledgment to my wife, whose been very supportive. I've enjoyed it and have no regrets at all."
Sheriff Ken Campbell presented Eaton with a certificate of participation and declared him an honorary Boone County Sheriff.

What does 30,000 pounds of food look like? Canterbury School students are finding out first hand as they help unload, stack and sort food all this week in preparation for delivery to the Associated Churches Food Bank on Monday. The Middle School hosts this community service project and brings in the bulk of the food. Students in the Lower and High Schools are also participating.
In this interview, a group of eighth graders did extra chores and saved money to go shopping as a group for the canned food drive. They were just finishing unloading when Kaitlin Niles volunteered to do an interview.

CATEGORIES Comedy, Drama, Foreign Language, Independent, Awards, New Releases, Oscar Watch, Cinematical Indie, Movies, Oscars, Awards, New Releases, CinematicalTo kick off the critics' prize portion of this awards season, The International Federation of Film Critics has picked Pedro Almodóvar's Volver as its winner for best film of the year. Called the FIPRESCI Grand Prix, and not to be confused with the jury-awarded FIPRESCI Prize, it is decided upon by 350 critics from all over the world and is presented yearly at the San Sebastián International Film Festival (going on now thru Sept. 30th). This is a special treat for Almodóvar since he also won the first ever Grand Prix in 1999 for All About My Mother. Volver also picked up some prizes (best actress[es]; best screenplay) at Cannes earlier this year and there's a good chance that if American critics are their usual selves, it will be honored as best foreign film by many of the U.S. societies, as well. We still have to wait a few more months for those picks, of course. The reason the FIPRESCI honors their choice so early is that it chooses a film released between July and July.
None of this means that the film will have a good shot at the Oscar for foreign language film, however. Spain is known lately for ignoring Almodóvar when they pick their submission to the Academy for contention (though they did submit All About My Mother, which won the award). But if it isn't one of the foreign nominees, there is the possibility of the director being nominated in another category -- In 2003, he won the Best Original Screenplay award for Talk to Her and was nominated for Best Director.

Scientists are developing immunological therapies that trigger a response by a patient's immune system against the cancer. The purpose of this study is to determine the highest dose of an immunotherapy called HER2/neu immunization that can be given safely, and to see if this preparation can stimulate an immune response in women with breast cancer that has metastasized (spread) or has a high risk of metastasizing.
Antigens are targets for immune cells. If an immune cell recognizes an antigen on a tumor cell, it may help to trigger a reaction against the tumor. The immunization prepared for this clinical trial targets an antigen called the HER2 protein, which is over-produced by some breast cancer cells.
The injection used in this study is a piece of DNA (genetic material) made in bacteria which contain the gene for rat HER2.
To be eligible for this study, patients must meet several criteria, including but not limited to the following:
For more information and to see if you are eligible for this study, please contact Dr. Teresa Gilewski at 646-888-5451.

From Boise Weekly (Boise, ID): This Week's Find: Grocery Outlet
By Tara Morgan
There's a moment of redemption at the end of every Grocery Outlet trip. After loading your bags with pistachio cheese logs, organic frozen butternut squash puree and Scharffen Berger chocolate bars, the checker will gingerly tear your receipt from the register and utter a heavenly phrase. "Today you saved $54.75," she'll say, handing you proof of your unparalleled shopping prowess—a savings report card to display proudly on the refrigerator.
Though the Grocery Outlet (affectionately dubbed the Gross Out) doesn't exactly dazzle shoppers with its dated '70s facade--a tricolor rainbow peeking out of a giant brown paper sack--it saves the razzle-dazzling for the inside. Shoppers wind rickety carts through aisles filled with you're-never-going-to-find-this-againso- you-might-as-well-buy-10-right-now steals. Though you will run into a few token bargain grocery-type items--like a giant,dented white can labeled simply "meat sauce"--a large percentage of the stuff at Grocery Outlet is organic, not-expired and totally edible. Frozen Amy's Eggplant Parmesan, anyone? Or maybe you'd prefer a syrah-rose made with organically grown grapes for only $2.99?
While the Gross Out is not a swing-in-for-your-daily-necessities kind of joint, it is a place where you can cavalierly cast your shopping list aside and let yourself be guided by the call of frozen organic tofu pad Thai.

City Council considering appeal of Oak Grove court order
Original post made on Nov 21, 2008

"However, legal advisors said the sign development agreement gives the Lins another bargaining chip in persuading the appellate court to reject the Ayala appeal."
It is a two way street. If the document is signed, it can help the Lins as suggested above. If the document is not signed, it could hurt the Lins by being argued that they don't have vested rights in the development agreement.

"However, legal advisors said to not sign the development agreement gives Ayala another bargaining chip in persuading the appellate court to accept the Ayala appeal."
How's that for spinning the same set of facts to suit your prejudices?
on Nov 21, 2008 at 3:46 pm
When is the Weekly going to glom onto the fact that a majority of Pleasanton residents could care less about the 496 acres of "free" land from the Lins? This piece of random information precedes EVERY single Weekly discussion regarding the Oak Grove property development or referendum. Hey, Jeb you can stop sugar coating this project. We get it, your newspaper wants to see those homes built. Try a little honesty for a change and stop pushing this we're so lucky to be getting this "gift" routine to make it all seem palatable.
When the people voted YES on PP they voted not only to save the hills they also said NO to the dangled carrot of the greenway trail fantasy. They didn't care for it, or didn't care enough to sacrifice something precious. If they'd have been allowed to vote on the referendum I'm sure it would have passed with an alarming majority (alarming to the Lins and the minority development-focused folks in this town!) hence, the Lin lawsuit to block it.
The Lins will obviously do (or sue!) whatever it takes to develop this property no matter how Pleasanton feels about it, the Weekly, sadly and for whatever reason, appears driven down the same path.

vacation rental description
Gaze out at the magnificent sweep of St. Augustine Beach from the balcony, living room, or master bedroom at our beachfront condo at Hibiscus 303-B. The rolling waves, sugary sands, and natural dunes are a glorious sight from our little corner of paradise! You'll feel on top of the world in our immaculately maintained, beautifully furnished condo. The balcony is everyone's favorite spot, nicely shaded from the heat of the sun and quite spacious. You'll find a table and chairs here, as well as a smaller seating area for drinks and conversation. As you gaze out over the palms and past the natural sand dunes to the glittering ocean, your cares will just seem to melt away! Two sets of sliding glass doors lead onto the balcony: one from the living room, the other from the master bedroom. (Perfect for a late night wine-and-stargazing rendezvous!) Step back into the master bedroom and you find yourself in a large room, soft rugs on the cool tiled floor. Two walls contain floor-to-ceiling windows revealing the wonderful view, while a king-sized bed promises a luxurious night's rest. This room also contains a TV and his-and-her bedside tables with lamps. Cooled by a silent, breezy ceiling fan, the master bedroom is a retreat fit for a king! The master bathroom adjoins the bedroom, making it yours and yours alone. Offering both a shower and tub option, it contains all the towel sets you will need. In fact, all of the towels and linens -- including pillows and blankets -- for all of the beds and both bathrooms at Hibiscus 303-B are provided for you, fresh and ready. And when you need to wash the vacation togs, use our full-size washer and dryer right off the bathroom at Hibiscus 303-B! The 2nd bedroom is roomy as well, containing both a queen-sized and a twin bed, plus a TV, dresser, and plenty of closet space. Perfect for children or a second family, this room is convenient to the second full bathroom. And if you need to sleep a couple more, the living room sofa converts to a bed (with unbelievable views!). The living room is another part of Hibiscus 303-B you will love. Spacious, nicely decorated, and pleasant, it is a great place to wind down after a busy day at the beach or sightseeing in St. Augustine. The cool tiled floor and silent ceiling fan are refreshing, while the warm-toned décor is homey and welcoming. Here you'll find ultra-comfortable furniture, a large TV with DVD player and VCR, and splendid ocean views. There's room for everyone here, especially when the dining area just beyond the living room becomes part of the action. Use the table as a game center, spread out brochures and maps, or set up your laptop here (you have free wireless Internet at Hibiscus 303-B). The comfy padded seats encourage you to linger for just one more hand of cards, while the convenience of the kitchen on one side and the gorgeous ocean views on the other make it the perfect place to relax! A breakfast bar runs alongside the dining area, offering convenient seating for the kids to snack, color, or "help" you cook. And even if you don't plan on doing much cooking this vacation, you'll enjoy the accommodations in our sparkling kitchen. We've completely stocked it with dishes, cookware, utensils, and appliances large and small. So whether you need a blender to whip up fruity drinks, a microwave to reheat the takeout, or a dishwasher to keep all the dirty dishes out of sight, you'll find it here! And you will love the amenities at the Hibiscus resort complex. Our condo complex offers 3 swimming pools, 2 Jacuzzi spas, a clubhouse with a fitness center and party room, space to grill out for picnics, and even a tennis court. The lush tropical landscaping reminds you that you're in paradise. And a private walkway takes you right down to the pure white sands of St. Augustine Beach! Hibiscus 303-B is the perfect destination for your next St. Augustine getaway. You will find it comfortable, convenient, and so much fun! Come discover our perfect little piece of the coast!
