Drivers Permits in Ohio
Page OverviewOhio Driver's Permits
In Ohio, the Ohio Bureau of Motor Vehicles (BMV) requires all new drivers to first obtain a learner's permit, called a Temporary Instruction Permit Identification Card (TIPIC), before being eligible for a driver's license.
With your learner's permit, you can begin practicing driving while supervised, and complete a driver's education course.
This page outlines the steps you need to take to get your Ohio learner's permit and what you need to do to move on to your full driver's license.
New to Ohio?
If you have recently moved to Ohio, you can convert your valid out-of-state driver's permit to an Ohio permit.
Visit your local OH BMV office with your permit and:
- Pass the vision exam.
- Pass the written permit test.
- Pay the $22 fee.
Ohio Learner's Permit Requirements
In order to get your Ohio learner's permit, or TIPIC, you'll need to be at least 15 1/2 years old. Visit an OH BMV office and:
- Show documents proving your:
- Full legal name and date of birth (e.g. U.S. birth certificate, certified copy of a court order).
- Social Security number (e.g. Social Security card, printout issued by the Social Security Administration).
- Legal U.S. presence (e.g. U.S. birth certificate, valid U.S. passport/passport card).
- Ohio residency (e.g. insurance policy, bank statement).
- For more information, please refer to this list of acceptable documents.
- Pass the vision exam.
- Pass the written permit test.
- Complete the medical packet, if you have any relevant medical conditions.
- Pay the $22 fee.
If you are under 18 years old, your parent, legal guardian, person with legal custody, or a responsible person who is willing to assume the legal obligations must accompany you. This person must also provide proof of his identification.
While you have your TIPIC, you can begin Driver's Ed. If you are under 18 years old, you MUST complete Driver's Ed in order to graduate to an intermediate driver's license (and eventually your full driver's license). See "Driver's Education Requirements" below.
Taking the Written Permit Test
The Ohio written exam consists of two sections:
- Motor vehicle regulations.
- Traffic signs.
Each section has 20 questions (multiple choice) and you must answer 15 questions in each section correctly to pass.
The permit test will cover information including:
- Rules of the road.
- Traffic signs and what they mean.
- Motor vehicle laws.
- Highway warnings.
The Ohio BMV offers a sample practice test on their website.
Permit Driving Restrictions
While you have your TIPIC, you must follow certain driving restrictions depending on your age:
- 15 1/2 years old: You are only allowed to drive when accompanied by a licensed parent, guardian, or certified driving instructor who is seated next to you.
- 16 years old: You may only drive with a valid licensed driver who is 21 years old or older.
- Under 18 years old: You cannot drive between 12 a.m. and 6 a.m., unless your licensed parent or legal guardian/custodian supervises you.
Ohio Driver's Ed Requirements
Once you have your temporary learner's permit identification card, it's time to complete an approved Driver's Ed course that consists of:
- 24 hours of classroom instruction.
- 8 hours of driving with a certified instructor.
This course can be taken at a high school, from a licensed driver training school, or be provided by the military. For more information, please refer to our Driver's Ed in Ohio page.
Behind-the-Wheel Driving Requirements
If you're under 18 years old and have your Ohio learner's permit, in addition to completing Driver's Ed, you're also required to complete 50 hours of supervised driving practice (including 10 hours at night).
These hours must be certified by your parent or legal guardian, and you must submit a completed Fifty Hour Affidavit (Form BMV 5791) when you apply for your intermediate driver's license.
Next Step: Getting Your Probationary Driver's License
You can apply for your probationary driver's license once you have:
- Held your learner's permit for at least 6 months.
- Successfully completed a Driver's Ed course, if you're younger than 18 years old.
- Completed your supervised driving practice (see "Behind-the-Wheel Driving Requirements" above).

Rosé and Mother's Day have very similar beginnings in the United States. Both started with a bang.
Mother's Day as we know it, was first celebrated in 1908 when Anna Jarvis of West Virginia wanted to make a tribute to her mom and all mothers and maternal figures everywhere. Later Jarvis created a Mother's Day International Association and even trademarked the phrase "Mother's Day". She took her campaign all the way to the White House, where in 1914 Woodrow Wilson, a noted mama's boy, declared the second Sunday in May a national holiday. We could not find any reference to her mother's reaction, but by the 1920's the holiday had become so commercialized, Jarvis denounced it as a "Hallmark holiday". "She was arrested in 1948 for disturbing the peace while protesting against the commercialization of Mother's Day, and she finally said that she regretted having started it." (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mother%27s_Day – cite_note-msnbc-103)
The popularity of rosé has had a similar journey, but perhaps without the jail time. Because the grapes were pressed soon after harvest and the grape skin had little contact with the wine, the earliest red wines were actually about the same color as the modern rosé. Historically, these lighter, fruitier wines were prized for their superior taste and delicacy. Until Mateus and Lancers came along to shake things up.
Both brands, created in the 1940's after World War II, were successfully styled to appeal to the masses. By designing the perfectly refreshing pink celebration beverage, Mateus and Lancers were able to flood the European and American markets. Their super sweet, slightly sparkling rosés made record sales. We became wine drinkers; then we became educated wine drinkers. And as the American taste for wine matured, our delight in the pink stuff waned.
But don't knock fad wines. Like Hallmark cards that made it easy to honor Mom, Mateus and Lancers made it easy for us to drink wine. Think of them as gateway wines fueling our fancy for something more.
Now we've come full circle. The recent renaissance of rosé wines is still upon us. Rosé has become our go-to summer wine (sign up to find some great rosé deals here). And why shouldn't it be? Because they are made with some of the same grapes, rosé wines are as nuanced as our favorite reds. They are easy to drink. They are inexpensive without being cheap, elegant without being snobby, and young without being astringent.
You might want to skip the card this year, but don't skip the flowers or the wine. A French rosé should do the trick. Provençal rosés are excellent. They tend to be dry and accessible. "A good rosé, at a lunch outdoors, preferably seaside or at least poolside, or even on a terrace, at a sidewalk table or on a tar-paper roof, will transport me to Provence as quickly as you can say Brigitte Bardot." (http://www.nytimes.com/2013/07/24/dining/reviews/rose-in-demand-but-not-demanding.html?pagewanted=all&_r=0). What could be more meaningful than sharing conversation and a wonderful, transporting bottle of rosé with Mom on her day?
As it turns our Bhakti yoga is all about Love. And not necessarily the California-style-peace-love-and-granola-hippy-lovedbeads-tofu-tree-hugging kind of love or the steamy-between-the-sheets-ooh-la-vache kind of love. It's the Capital L kind of love. It is the Love that is our very nature. It is the Love that exists in baby lambs and yellow crocuses hidden under the snow right now.
There are several kinds of Bhakti, called bh?vas. Wikipedia lists a few:
Our Bhakti yoga teacher at the retreat, William Mahony, suggested a few more including love for animals. I found this great definition online: "The trees, flowers, fire, earth, water, sky, sun, moon, stars, animals, birds, mountains, rivers, oceans, human beings constitute the body of the Lord. You should bow to them all without distinction. You should regard them as God Himself." (Swami Sivananda http://sivanandaonline.org/public_html/?cmd=displaysection§ion_id=450)
One of the students at this retreat had an amazing practice of V?tsalya Bhakti. He and his two teenaged daughters keep contact with one another by text. They play a kind of game wherein he asks his girls how their days are going. One of them invariably answers "It's a lovely day today." This is in reference to a song from the 1940's by Irving Berlin. The song portrays perfectly the delight this family finds in one another. They all have busy lives, but their song keeps them close and keeps the V?tsalya Bhakti alive and well.
I used to believe that the purpose of yoga was to still the mind (Patanjali's Yoga Sutra #2 - Yoga citta vrtti nirodha, yoga is the cessation of the fluctuations of the mind.) Now I'm pretty sure it's all about seeing love in yourself and others. It is a lovely day today.
In ancient Egypt, libations were made during sacred occasions. Wine was poured into a shallow libation bowl, called a patera (the paten – small bread plate – used in the Christian Eucharist comes from this word). The shallow bowl had a little bellybutton-shaped reservoir at its base that caught the good stuff. Some of the wine was poured onto the ground as an offering, some of the wine was drunk by the celebrant.
The Ancient Greeks had a more regular daily practice. The pouring of wine, usually accompanied by prayer, was the simplest and most common religious practice. The most pious performed libations night and day and before meals. Ancient Greek Symposiums were essentially social sanctioned wine parties. The word symposium means "to drink together" and that is exactly what they did. From the first bowl of wine, libations were made to Zeus, the ruler of the Olympian gods. From the second bowl, libations were made to heroes, from the third libations to Hermes, and down the line – there were many, many gods to honor. This is what Wikipedia gives us on Symposium:
A symposium would be overseen by a "symposiarch" who would decide how strong the wine for the evening would be, depending on whether serious discussions or merely sensual indulgence were in the offing. The Greeks and Romans customarily served their wine mixed with water, as the drinking of pure wine was considered a habit of uncivilized peoples. The wine was drawn from a krater, a large jar designed to be carried by two men, and served from pitchers (oenochoe). Certain formalities were observed, most important among which were libations, the pouring of a small amount of wine in honour of various deities or the mourned dead.
The symposium was the center stage for the popular god Dionysus, god of the grape harvest, wine, and ecstasy. Bacchus to the Romans, Dionysus was the protector of the enslaved and disenfranchised. Intoxicatingrituals in his honor were thought to bring celebrants back to their natural state of liberation. These rites, based on a seasonal theme of death and rebirth, evolved over time from drunken orgies to more spiritual observances centered on the preservation of the soul. Sound familiar?
Wine is integral to the Eucharist, the Christian ceremony commemorating the Last Supper when bread and wine were consecrated and consumed. In to the Gospel's Last Supper (a Passover Seder), Jesus urges his apostles to share bread and wine: "Do this in remembrance of me." The sacramental wine symbolizes the blood of Christ, though in some traditions the wine actually becomes the blood through transubstantiation.
In the Jewish tradition, wine symbolizes redemption – especially during Passover. This festival of celebration and remembrance commemorates God's liberation of the Jews from slavery in ancient Egypt. God brought ten plagues upon the Egyptians, these plagues are remembered in the Seder with ten droplets of wine, dripped from the pinky finger to the dinner plate. Four cups of wine are consumed during the meal in recognition of the four expressions of redemption: the cup of sanctification; the cup of judgment; the cup of redemption; and the fourth is the cup of the kingdom.
Though the modern religious rituals like Easter and Passover look much more staid, they may have some distant foundational connections to the Dionysian frenzies of Grecco-Roman times. But whether you're Christian, Jewish, or just a fan of Bacchus, the spring holidays are the perfect time to raise your glass.
]]>You see, Early April is the season for the Cold Food Festival. This traditional Chinese festival (also celebrated in Korea and Vietnam) pays tribute to the budding sprouts in the field as it honors a legend of loyalty. The festival commemorates Jie Zi Tui, who lived in the Jin State of China during the Spring and Autumn Period (770 BC until 470 BC, or thereabouts).
Jie was a loyal and beloved official of the State working for the Crown Prince Chong'er. It was a tumultuous time and the State fell into upheaval. The Prince and his men were exiled and faced numerous hardships – hunger being the biggest. To prevent the starvation of his Prince, Jie fed him with a piece of meat cut from his own thigh.
When the Prince was later able to return to the Jin State, he took his place at the throne and proceeded to live royally, as was his due. In his luxury, however, he completely forgot about Jie and broke his heart. Jie ran off to the mountains to live in sadness and seclusion with his mother. When the Prince eventually learned about Jie's life in the hills, he tried to bring him back home, sending search parties near and far. Jie's location in the mountains was discovered and the Prince tried to smoke him out. The fire went terrible wrong, however, killing both Jie and his mother. The Prince felt so terribly guilty he forbade cooking fires and ordered everyone to eat only cold food. Each spring thereafter, the Cold Food Festival (Hanshi Festival) honors the memory of Jie Zi Tui. The Cold Food Festival starts the night before Tomb Sweeping Day (Qingming Festival), a day of remembrance and respect.
And there you have it, the Spring Roll. This not-fried, cold roll incorporates raw and chilled pre-cooked foods (like eggs, shrimp or pork). The type of wrapper used varies regionally, but the roll is usually served with a pungent sauce.
Tradition runs deep in this cuisine. Many Chinese specialties find their origins in legend and ancient history. This spring when you bite into a delicious Spring Roll, know that you are in excellent company. You are part of a thousand-year-old legacy honoring loyalty…and really, really good food.
Turn it up.
]]>Here in Addison County we have GoAmericaGo Beverages (makers of award-winning WhistlePig Whiskey). Raj Peter Bhatka, who bought WhistlePig Farm in 2007, tells the story of this way:
"The land first became accessible through the joint efforts of British soldiers and Colonial American militia men in 1759, who, led by General Geoffrey Amherst, cut a route through the current site of WhistlePig Farm during the French and Indian War. Following the Revolutionary War and into the 1790's, much of the forest was cleared for farmland, largely by war veterans who recalled the beauty and fertility of the area.
By the 1820's, a small settlement known as the Hamlet of Shacksbury had sprung up…" Today Shacksbury is known as Shoreham, Vermont. And if you are a serious fan of Rye Whiskey, you might consider living nearby the farm. You'll be able to walk home and never have to worry about drinking and driving.
Queechee has Vermont Spirits, distillers of ultra-premium vodkas. Their Gold Vodka makes use of one of our beloved local resources: maple syrup; their Vermont White uses milk sugar. And in season, they produce a Limited Release Vodka made from early run maple sap.
And further North, we have Green Mountain Distillers. Makers of organic vodkas and organic gins right in the Village of Stowe. Their "award winning Green Mountain Organic "Sunshine" Vodka is made from 100% organic grains and Pure Vermont spring water." Ahhh…
Of all the great distilleries here in Vermont, Caledonia Spirits is a few fingers above the rest. Their commitment to organic practices and the local community is certainly honorable, but their flavors are out of this world. Founded by Todd Hardie, beekeeper and naturalist formerly of Addison County, Caledonia Spirits "works with a network of regional farmers to showcase the beauty of their grains, fruits, and bee hive products in spirit form." The results are truly magical. Todd describes the Gin as "a celebration of our special connection to the land."
Taste it for yourself at Todd's old Honey Gardens honey house in Ferrisburgh (and bring a designated driver, this amazing stuff packs a wallop.)
]]>National Trails Day is the country's largest celebration of trails. Organized by the American Hiking Society, the event celebrates our national trail system, a network of interconnected trails and trail organizations that stretches across the country. Here in Middlebury we celebrate on the TAM (Trail Around Middlebury), a 16-mile foot-path that stretches around the heart of Middlebury linking several hundred acres of town land, conserved properties, schools, and local landmarks.
Established 24 years ago, the TAM, is the major project of the Middlebury Area Land Trust (MALT), the leading conservation and trails organization in Addison County. The Land Trust's dedication to stewardship includes the conservation of working landscape and natural areas, protecting water quality, and linking green spaces. MALT's strategic plan includes conserving "areas with key visual or aesthetic attributes."
MALT's plan is music to my ears. As a Vermont Realtor and long-time resident, I love aesthetic attributes and my family and friends love theses terrific trails. The Battell Trail, part of the TAM, is near one of my Lincoln listings on Quaker Street (shown here on the left).
Another great property near the other side of the TAM is this Weybridge home on Otter Creek Lane (shown here on the right). This is the view from the back porch. This property has river views, proximity to hiking trails, and is walking distance to Middlebury!
These two listings are only the beginning of my list of examples of spectacular Vermont properties near beautiful hiking trails and open spaces. National Trails Day is the prefect day to view them.
Happy Trails.
]]>We've got trots, fun runs, relays, 10Ks, half marathons, marathons, triathlons, even iron man. Roadracer.com lists 15 major races in Vermont in May alone. This weekend is the big kahuna: the Vermont City Marathon. Chittenden County is completely frenetic this week with preparations for the 25th annual running of the Burlington road race. The race is produced by RunVermont, a not-for-profit organization that promotes running in the Green Mountain state. The Vermont City Marathon had 2,737 finishers in 2010, with thousands of fans and visitors thronging to the Champlain Valley.
But Addison County is miles ahead of its neighbor to the north. We had our big marathon weeks ago! In 2013, its 5th year, the Middlebury Maple Run was held May 5th. Affectionately known as the Sweetest Half, the Middlebury Maple Run half marathon has a reputation for being well-organized and friendly. And the course goes right through town and the Middlebury College Campus – it's beautiful. Take a look:
Proximity to great running courses is not yet included in Vermont MLS descriptions, but we found several Addison County homes that list trails in their property descriptions. Granted some of these are hiking trails and ski trails, but they seem like a trail runner's paradise: you can view these great Vermont property listings here.
Best wishes to the marathoners this weekend!
]]>These homes have several common elements such as: gourmet kitchens, guest rooms, and French doors. But the two most obvious takeaways from the article are: great photography sells and you can get a lot for $870,000!
According to the National Association of Realtors, the US existing home median sale price for the first quarter is in the area of $185,000. Zillow says that the median sale price for an existing Vermont home is $229,900. $870,000 buys a lot of home in Addison County, where the home median sale price is in the neighborhood of $220,000.
We found two Addison County homes for sale in the NYT price range. Both feature lots of acreage, amazing stone fireplaces, and spectacular mountain views. While the photography may not be Sunday Times quality, the homes certainly are. Take a look – click each image for full property details:
The earliest celebrations of a mother deity can be found in ancient Egypt during the annual festival honoring the goddess Isis. She was worshiped as the ideal mother and the patron of nature and magic. Mother's Day in Europe goes back to Mothering Sunday in the 16th Century. On the fourth Sunday in Lent, Christians went back to their 'mother church'. Household servants were given the day off in order to make this pilgrimage.
Mother's Day in the U.S. is not related to Isis and has very little to do with church. Our holiday has two different sources: Julia Ward Howe and Anna Jarvis. In the 1870s, pacifist feminist Julia Howe appealed to women to unite for peace by recognizing a "Mother's Day for Peace" on the 2th June of every year. By most accounts, her campaign was not successful.
It is generally believed that Anna Jarvis's holiday had nothing to do with Julia's, though both were advocates for peace. Anna's celebration actually honored her mother who had founded Mothers' Day Work Clubs to improve sanitary and health conditions and to treat the wounds of both Union and Confederate soldiers without judgement or partiality.
But after just a few short years of the holiday's national recognition, Anna had already become disenchanted with the commercialization of the day. Our misanthrope from the first paragraph may find some satisfaction in this.
In any case, Mother's Day is about honoring moms. The Mother-in-law apartment, on the other hand, has a different history altogether. Originally known as the Secondary Suite, what we know today as the Mother-in-law apartment gets its name from a technicality. The renting out of secondary suites was prohibited in many local jurisdictions unless the lessee was a relative. This lead to the use of the term "mother-in-law" house or apartment.
Regardless of its etymology, you can celebrate Mother's Day in a Mother-in-law apartment right here in Addison County. Happy Mother's Day.

''I hate tombs,'' Lara Croft sighs as she enters a musty crypt in Tomb Raider, Crystal Dynamics' bold series reboot. The franchise had grown a bit musty itself, bogged down in clumsy shooting and silly supernatural elements like an evil Lara doppelgänger. In recent years Uncharted's Nathan Drake has largely supplanted Croft as gaming's top adventurer, but this Lara learns from his exploits and is officially reclaiming her throne.
This time around, Lara is not a girl, not yet a woman when she is shipwrecked on a mysterious island. But she quickly grows up as she battles a murderous cult, and actress Camilla Luddington gives a fully realized performance that sells Lara's evolution. She's put through the wringer escaping burning buildings, getting tossed off cliffs in a series of stunning set pieces that are as fun to play as they are to marvel at. The titular tombs exist as optional side missions that are absolutely worth seeking out, since they contain clever physics-based puzzles that provide a nice reprieve from the campaign's breakneck pace. Lara may hate tombs, but gamers are going to love them and her all over again. A-

REM-100: An eight-channel wired remote control system that uses a DIN rail-mounted series of electronics, this device allows control of up to eight relay closures in two directions over a single pair of wires. A single-pole switch closes a relay at the other end in both directions. Because the REM-8 system uses serial communications, one unit can act as a master to up to 64 slave units. Serial communications options include RS-485, CAN Bus or USB interface to a PC. When connected to a PC via a USB port, a single local REM-100 can communicate to up to 64 REM-100 modules. A multi-location remote control system can be configured quickly as only a single pair is needed to communicate along the REM-100 network. Each module has eight control inputs and eight relays so duplicate functions can be mirrored if required. Each module has a set of local and remote status indicators so that when a switch is closed in the remote location positive verification can be made at the other location.

St. Lucie County Fair opens in Fort Pierce with record-breaking advance ticket sales
There were more than 28,700 Orders
FORT PIERCE, Fla. - Squeals of children flying high on the swings. The sizzle of the legendary donut burger cooking. Dance music pumping as a fast-working painter spray paints to the beat. Fairgoers could hear all these sounds at the St. Lucie County Fair on Friday.
"Hey. How are you? How many?" a ticket collector asked people waiting to get into the fair Friday night. There was a line of people before the fair gates opened at 4:30 p.m. on Friday.
Ticket prices haven't changed in the past several years. It's $10 for adults. If you bought early, it was only $6. More people took advantage of the discount this year than ever.
Fair general manager Jeanne Keaton counted more than 28,700 advance ticket orders. She said each order could range from one to more than 400 tickets.
"Phenomenal. We're up 22% over last year, and last year was 27% up over the year before," said Keaton.
Pete Fernandez bought six tickets for his family about a week ago.
"To save money. Times are tight. You need every dime you can get," he said.
Keaton says because people don't have disposable incomes like they used to, they turn to the fair. "The whole economy has made us a lot more aware of what we can do, and a lot of people can't go away on vacations anymore. This is kind of a vacation," said Keaton, with a smile.
She says everyone just wants to have a good time, at a good price, and that's what the fair has to offer.
Keaton is expecting a record number of fairgoers this year: 150,000 to 160,000 people. Last year, she says 130,000 attended.

Internet search company Google, Inc. has confirmed that it is to buy video sharing website YouTube and promised to continue its efforts to identify copyright material uploaded to the site without permission.
Under the deal, YouTube founders Steve Chen and Chad Hurley receive $1.65 billion of Google stock. The site will retain its name and management structure, although changes are expected in its search and advertising facilities.
Speaking to investors yesterday, Google chief executive Eric Schmidt described YouTube as a "clear winner" in the use of video for social networking and community building, adding: "That's what really drove us to start the conversation [to buy the company]."
Just hours prior to the takeover announcement, YouTube had announced that it had signed agreements with US television network CBS and music labels Sony BMG and Universal Music. A similar deal was announced with Warner Music last month.
Under the deals, YouTube will host licensed versions of music videos and TV shows. Videos submitted by members of the public will be subject to electronic analysis to detect the unauthorised use of copyright materials within them. Copyright holders will be given the opportunity to refuse uploads, or to take a share of revenues from adverts displayed alongside approved content.
However, some commentators have expressed concerns that Google could be making themselves vulnerable to legal action over breaches of copyright. Internet entrepreneur Mark Cuban, who recently said that anybody who bought YouTube would be "a moron" because of the legal implications, said: "It will be interesting to see what happens next and what happens in the copyright world. I still think Google's lawyers will be a busy, busy bunch."
Schmidt confirmed that Google's own content upload service, Google Video, is to remain in its current form. "Google Video is doing very well, with lots of interesting partnerships and a tremendous amount of content," he explained. However, a spokesman for Google Video told The Stage that no details on how the two video sharing sites would co-operate had yet been worked out.

The Next Generation of IT includes a proliferation of ever-more-capable end user devices – desktops, thin/zero clients, laptops, pads, smart phones, etc. Companies are challenged to better understand how each employee uses his/her devices, as well as how to segregate personal from business use for the purpose of managing the organization's IT resources. Bandwidth issues can arise and must be addressed. Companies make it a high priority to provide the same consistent, reliable, secure experience for each end user, regardless of the device being used or its physical location. These factors combine to increase management complexity and support costs.VMware products allow the endpoint to be irrelevant, so it becomes easier to deliver a nearly identical experience across multiple devices. The remaining challenges for Next Generation end user computing are security and user profile management. While this type of consistent, secure end user computing was at one time simply a "nice to have," it is rapidly becoming mission-critical. All these issues must be addressed to create a rich, consistent end user experience.
User Interface / GUI: The new paradigm for end user computing ensures that each user has the same full-featured, trouble-free view (GUI) and experience from all devices. In The Next Generation of IT, all authorized applications and data, work-related and personal, must be accessible from home, workplace and mobile devices, without compromising the security of company systems or information. The default condition places the "desktop" icons in the same position on each device, accessible via the same process and with the same passwords, etc.
Security: In the Next Generation data center users are categorized into power users, task users and mobile users. As solution provider, Siwel helps clients provide anytime, anywhere access to only those critical applications and data that each user requires, maintaining total control over access and use. Company data and systems are secure regardless of the method or device used for access, and each authorized end user has access whenever and wherever they need it.
Profile Management: In a Next Generation environment, analysis tools are used to gather and evaluate how each employee uses his/her devices, then segregate personal from business use for the purpose of managing the organization's IT resources. Personal and non-essential data is segregated from mission-critical and proprietary company data and applications, to create a storage structure that is more efficient, cost-effective and secure, while enabling end users to maintain access to company and personal information via a single, comprehensive interface.

Home > News > Publications > The Journal > 2011 > May > Crozer and DCMH Earn AHA/ASA Gold Plus Stroke Achievement Award
by Mary Wascavage
In Brief
Recently, Crozer-Chester Medical Center and Delaware Country Memorial Hospital were presented with the American Heart Association/American Stroke Association's Get With The Guidelines® (GWTG) Gold Plus Quality Achievement Award for stroke care. The award recognizes Crozer and DCMH's commitment and success in implementing excellent care for stroke patients, according to evidence-based guidelines.
GWTG is designed for in-hospital quality improvement. It places the expertise of the American Stroke Association to work for hospitals, ensuring that the care the hospital provides to stroke patients is up-to-date with the latest scientific guidelines.
Get With The Guidelines–Stroke uses the "teachable moment," the time soon after a patient has had a stroke, when they are most likely to listen to and follow their healthcare professionals' guidance. Studies demonstrate that patients who are taught how to manage their risk factors while still in the hospital reduce their risk of a second heart attack or stroke.
Through GWTG–Stroke, customized patient education materials are made available at the point of discharge, based on patients' individual risk profiles. The take-away materials are written in an easy-to-understand format and are available in English and Spanish. In addition, the Get With The Guidelines Patient Management Tool gives healthcare providers access to up-to-date cardiovascular and stroke science at the point of care.
To receive the Get With The Guidelines Stroke Gold Plus Performance Achievement Award, Crozer and DCMH achieved 85 percent or higher adherence to all Get With The Guidelines–Stroke Quality Achievement indicators for two or more consecutive 12-month intervals. Each hospital also achieved 75 percent or higher compliance with six of 10 Get With The Guidelines–Stroke Quality Measures, which are reporting initiatives to measure quality of care. These measures include aggressive use of medications, such as tPA (a clot-busting medication), antithrombotics, anticoagulation therapy, DVT prophylaxis, cholesterol-reducing drugs and smoking cessation, all aimed at reducing death and disability and improving the lives of stroke patients.
Gold Plus is the highest level of achievement available through the GWTG program. Both Crozer and DCMH, as well as Taylor Hospital, have achieved the Bronze and Silver Plus Performance Achievement Award. Taylor is in the process of working toward the Gold Award.
"An award of this type demonstrates a commitment to consistently provide excellent care at all levels of the patient care team," says Bradley Grayum M.D., chief of the Division of Neurology at Crozer. "This cannot be achieved by the head of a department or a director of the stroke program, but only by the efforts of our stroke coordinators, head nurses and floor nurses who plan and provide the care that is judged by these guidelines. When we have asked our nurses to take on additional clinical tasks (or simply additional documentation) they have been engaged and enthusiastic. For example, stroke education for our patients is a crucial element of the service provided by any good stroke team (i.e., explaining to patients how to avoid having another stroke). Our nursing staff has developed and executed the plan for delivering this crucial information to our patients at a level that was recognized by this Gold award.
"These awards are not earned by brilliant thoughts or clever conceptual insights," Grayum continues, "but only through the care and efforts of the people who are on the floors with the patients all day and all night. They've had to work to change the way they deliver care and we should all appreciate their efforts. Care provided at a level that warrants an award like this is a resource for all of us who live or work in the community."
"The Gold Plus award given to both Crozer and DCMH reaffirms a system-wide commitment to the highest level of stroke treatment within Crozer-Keystone Health System. The residents of Delaware County can be reassured that when they experience stroke-like symptoms they will be treated with the utmost urgency and state-of-the-art care in order to minimize complications and maximize recovery," adds Joseph Lubeck, D.O., medical director of the Stroke Program at Delaware County Memorial Hospital.
Suzanne Jenkins, R.N., stroke coordinator for Crozer and Taylor, comments on the team approach that is used to take care of stroke patients. "Each person plays an integral part in the recovery of that patient — from EMS, who brings them to the hospital, to the nurse who discharges them to rehab or home. Our focus is to deliver quick, evidence-based care and then work with the patient to make sure they know what to do to prevent another stroke, as well as how to minimize their risk factors," she says.
In addition, Crozer, DCMH, and Taylor are all certified by The Joint Commission as a Primary Stroke Center. This means that the hospitals' programs meet the highest national standards of care for stroke patients and adhere to guidelines that can significantly improve outcomes for stroke patients. "Remember this statement: Time is Brain!," says Maureen DePrince, R.N., clinical program coordinator for DCMH. "Seeking treatment immediately for stroke can significantly impact a patient's outcome. Hospitals that are certified as Primary Stroke Centers have proven that an organized, multidisciplinary approach to stroke treatment and care can greatly improve a patient's chances for a full recovery. Stroke Centers have systems in place that ensure that all departments work together to provide the best possible care to our patients — from acute treatment to rehabilitation, and then secondary stroke prevention."

DJ Reflections: The Most Magical Moments Of TomorrowWorld
Coming straight from the airport, Dannic sat down with us to give us some insight on his expectations for TomorrowWorld and experiences from TomorrowLand. The Dutch described his TomorrowLand experience as a "dream come true" from having raging fans with 'Don't Panic, Dance to Dannic' signs to bros with '#1 Dannic' painted across their bods- the love and energy consumed the crowd. Daan Romers premiered around a whopping 5-6 new tracks for the festival.
"I just have to do it and it's the right moment to put it out and test it all out." Dannic said.
Dannic told us he's "always mashing up things and making edits to keep it fresh" and added that he was "not going to play anything you've ever heard before" which was lived up to through his massive set. Finally, we asked how he would describe TomorrowWorld in three words. Dannic replied with, "energy, surprises, and fun."

ITT Tech Orland Park Nursing Students
0Nov 5, '11 by strawberyheelzHello Out There,
I would like to know if there are any ITT Tech students from the Chicago area out there. I will be starting there program soon (December 5th) and would like to hear from any of ITTs current nursing students. I know the program began in September of 2010. I was supposed to start a year ago (December 2010) but had my reservations about starting a brand new program. That has all changed. After applying to Wright College's bridge program for LPNs only and not being selected (they had 40 seats and 200 candidates that sucks), I decided to call ITT Tech back and go ahead with their program. I did really well on the HESI and was told that I didn't have to worry about getting in. So can anyone out there tell me what is it like at the Orland Park Campus. I am dying to hear anything. Of course regardless of what kind of input I get from this thread meaning if it's negative I will take that in consideration but will still be attending. Hey I'm not getting any younger. I've been a LPN for 7 and a half years now and want out of the nursing home NOW. It looks like ITT is my way out.
Thanks in Advance
:heartbeat -
0Dec 1, '11 by my3blessingsHello, I am starting the December 5th program as well
. Were you at orientation today? -
0Dec 2, '11 by fgreenYou guys might want to read the last few posts of this thread from someone who attends ITT. They may not be an accredited school.
http://allnurses.com/in-nursing-prog...ml#post5877405 -
0Dec 2, '11 by strawberyheelzThanks for the heads up but I have been researching that subject and have only one thing to say about their accreditation. As long as I know that the school is approved by the illinois dept of professional regulation which they are then I know I can do two things 1. Work as a rn in illinois and two get an illinois license which is my priority. After I finish ITT I'm going for my BSN at Chamberlain. I'm not woried about the whole magnet hospital thing with the associates degree I will earn at ITT because the BSN program at Chamberlain is NLN and CCNE approved. Besides the few short months I will be working with my associates degree I will still be at my current job.
And yes I was in orientation yesterday. -
0Dec 2, '11 by strawberyheelzWow congratulations. What school? I know Danville has one also. I would love to pass the info on
0Dec 2, '11 by fgreenResurrection University in Oak Park, IL. It is a 16 month BSN program.
All prereqs are completed prior to attending. You have to get an 80% on the TEAS.
Classes are 3 nights a week and clinicals are on Saturday or Sunday. This allows me to keep my day job in finance until I get my RN license.
They also have a day program.

Index Number: ACT 35/007/2009Date Published: 28 May 2009
More than half a million women die needlessly each year from complications related to pregnancy and childbirth – one every minute. Many others suffer disabling injuries. As the cases in this digest demonstrate, most maternal deaths could be prevented by high-quality, accessible, affordable and timely medical care. Governments must act now to end preventable deaths of women; to make maternal health care accessible to all; and, to respect and protect women's sexual and reproductive rights.

I just moved to Houma Louisiana and I saw tulip bulbs on sale in Big Lots last week. I thought they needed cold. When can these be planted here?????? |

Yup, tulips can be grown in hot climates as annuals, once they bloom they are gone forever because they won´t survive BUT YOU HAVE TO CHILL them for 8-12 weeks prior to planting. Good reliable bulb sources like John Scheepers ship you your bulbs prechilled and ready to plant immediately, you place your order and they ship you when the bulbs have gone through the chilling process, but bulbs you find in places like Home Depot or sources like that are not prechilled, no wonder why they go on sale during these months of the year. Purchasing bulbs off season, specially tulips is not such a good idea, many of them mold up and die during the chill, or by the time you plant them it´s too warm for them. When I plant tulips I purchase them in October chill for 8-10 weeks and plant them in December/January so by March they have already blooomed. |

I am in the market for the solar panels and I was wondering if there is a source of knowledge which lets one know what brand of PV modules are better than others. thanks. |
Follow-Up Postings:
Hi, I don't think you can go very far wrong with any of the "name" brands (Evergreen, BP, Sharp, Mitsubishi, Kyocera, ...). Make sure they have the UL approval, or your electrical inspector will not permit them. I like Evergreen because they are made here, and the ribbon pulling process they use results in a panel with less embedded energy. Attached link is for an interesting site that claims to survey the market and find the cheapest prices. Gary |
Here is a link that might be useful: Cheapest PV sources

Look at poor Shaun Marcum, gripping his change-up like it means something.
Shaun Marcum is catching a fair amount of hell in the aftermath of his rather piss-poor playoff performances. He wasn't good. More to the point – Shaun Marcum was not himself.
The Shaun Marcum of the 2011 National League playoffs is not the Shaun Marcum the Milwaukee Brewers acquired in exchange for their best prospect. He was not even the Shaun Marcum of early 2011. Marcum came to the National League and did Shaun Marcum-things.
He changed speeds. He missed bats. He didn't walk anybody. People hit an enormous amount of fly balls against him and, as is their wont, a bunch of them went for home runs.
He threw his cutter to right-handers and his change-up to lefties. He missed bats with both – his change-up is one of the league's best. Was, I should say.
Once the calender turned to October, Marcum's change-up fell completely apart. During the season, Marcum's change-up earned a nearly 20% whiff rate – one of five changes he threw provoked a swing and miss. Against lefties his regular season whiff rate was 18.5% with the change. In the playoffs? Zero.
Shaun Marcum did not miss a single left-handed bat in three playoff starts. The change-up is his main weapon against lefties and it completely deserted him. Recall what our friend Jack Moore said about Marcum just one week ago:
Marcum's changeup will be the key pitch to watch tonight — if it's flat and at too similar a speed to the fastball, we could be in for a repeat of Game Three in Arizona. If it's back to the slower, diving pitch that gave him success early in the year, then Marcum has a chance to right the wrongs of the past month.
According to Texas Leaguers, Marcum's change-up looked like this in the post-season: 80.8 mph, 3.26 vertical movement, -4.26 horizontal movement. Marcum threw the change 14% of the time when the games really mattered. Compare that to his regular season averages: 79.3 mph, 2.90 vertical movement, -5.28 horizontal movement.
A faster pitch with 20% less arm-side run (away from left-handed hitters) ends up looking more like a crappy fastball than a legitimate change of pace. The drop in usage owes largely to an inability to throw strikes and get ahead in the count.
There are several possible reasons for Marcum's struggles could be fatigue or even injury, the truth figures to surface as the offseason progresses. Was Roenicke wrong in handing Marcum the ball for Game Six? Of course not, the lack of a viable alternative ensured it was Marcum's start to make.
Marcum remains under Brewers team control for another season. If fatigue is to blame, the Brewers are well-served to institute a better conditioning program for a player well "known" for his fondness for "flu-like symptom" causing activities. Marcum is a better pitcher than he showed during his debut on the playoff stage, the Brewers need of their right-hander to return to form in 2012 if they expect a repeat playoff trip.

What Pam101 is asking Santa for
Yesterday...Santa at the Mall told me I was on the naughty list...I winked back and said "Thanks, Santa". But then later on I told Santa's helper...aka Pam101's Mom what I wanted from the Big Guy! I want a Flip Cam! Just imagine all the great video I will be able to post! So excited! I hope Santa gets the message!
Fingers crossed today is going to be the best day!

Are you a fan of Black Friday?!
Are you one of those crazy people who loves the thrill of the sale!? Fighting the crowds at 2:00am just to get the FlipCam for $20.00!? If so, check out the WSJ for some news on Black Friday sales. Be safe people!
Looking for that last minute Thanksgiving decore idea?
Guests will go nuts over these cute critters. Squirrels perched atop logs filled with foil-wrapped chocolate chestnuts, hazelnuts, and walnuts make sweet seasonal tokens. Put one at each setting at the Thanksgiving table. If you'd like, you can write guests' names on the logs before assembling them so the favors can double as place cards.
Martha is the best, click here for the How To!
Pam101 note: check out this funny email I just got from my sister-in-law:
" I just cut out those squirrels yesterday (from your blog). But it was too tedious so I only did one and quit."

This is just Ridiculous!
Taylor Lautner on the cover of Rolling Stone:
On why Bella can't decide who to love: "You know, she's serious with Edward and then she meets best friend Jacob. She gets confused."
On why Jacob can't get behind Bella and Edward's relationship: "If I was Jacob, and I feel like I have lived as him, it gets so annoying. Because she's in the car with you one moment, about ready to kiss you and then leaves with Edward. And then she's back with you, you know?"
On his relationship with Bella after she says 'I love you': "Eclipse was actually my favorite of the series. It's the height of the love triangle. I think it's going to be good."

People's 5 picks on why you'll love New Moon.
People Magazine has their top five "features" to New Moon that fans are going to love!
(Warning: Spoiler Alert!)
Jacob Black's Body: Photos of Taylor Lautner's amazing transformation from a scrawny kid to a rippling teen werewolf already have been making the rounds for months. But the first time Lautner rips off his T-shirt to reveal his muscled chest onscreen, the sight is still gasp-worthy.
Bella and Edward's Reunion: When Edward comes to the (incorrect) conclusion that his love, Bella, is dead, he decides there is no choice but to commit vampire suicide. Of course, the only person who can save him is Bella. When she launches herself through a crowd and across a fountain in an Italian square to push Edward out of harm's way, the sparks that fly between the soul-mates are like fireworks.
The Wolf Pack: The actors who play Jacob Black's gang of strapping pals provide the perfect mix of teen tension and ferocious loyalty that exist between the group of guys who realize that one and all are actually werewolves. They snarl and yelp, tease and torment each other, and of course, fight together just like Twilight Saga author Stephanie Meyer describes in her series.
Dakota Fanning: She plays the pint-sized vamp, Jane, who wields a daunting power - simply by concentrating she can cause her victims to convulse in excruciating pain. She's not in the movie for very long, but when she focuses those red eyes on her targets and softly whispers, "Pain," everyone will squirm.
The Sense of Humor: While the Twilight series is based overwrought teenage angst, director Chris Weitz lightens the mood with some well-placed humor. Bella's human school friends provide comic relief. When one of them has to leave a horror movie because he's ill, Launter's character laughs and says, "What a marshmallow."
PM Edition of the Hotness
I am going to keep our PM Hotness short and sweet today. I am still on a New Moon high! And I think the reason I enjoyed this movie experience so much was that I was with a good group of friends! So our PM Hotness is... Friends!
Happy Weekend you crazy Pam101 fans!
New Moon already breaking records
No one expected "The Twilight Saga: New Moon" to disappoint at the box office, but even Summit Entertainment has to be surprised by the massive opening the sequel garnered from midnight shows across the country. Distributors are still submitting their grosses but sources tell HitFix "New Moon" has set a new record and may have made as much as $25 million from its midnight launch.
To compare, previous record holder "The Dark Knight" made $18.4 million in over 3,000 theaters, but some of those screens were of the IMAX variety which charge higher ticket prices thereby inflating the overall gross. Not jumping on the IMAX bandwagon (so far), only makes "New Moon's" gross even more remarkable.
Opening in 3,514 theaters, "New Moon" could also challenge "Dark Knight's" single day gross of $67 million, but that seems a tad unlikely based on a predominantly female only fan base. As for the weekend, the first "Twilight" dropped 49% from Friday to Saturday and the sequel is expected to find a similar drop.
On the other hand, "Dark Knight" dropped only 29% over that span. Therefore, breaking the acclaimed thriller's opening weekend gross record of $158.4 million has to be out of reach, but surpassing this year's champ, "Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen" with $108 million, is entirely possible (at the moment at least).

O's curtain will close in 2011
The queen of daytime talk shows, Oprah Winfrey, plans to end her highly rated The Oprah Winfrey Show in 2011 after 25 years, her spokesperson said Thursday.
"The last day will be Sept. 9, 2011," the spokesperson says. "She will speak about it on (Friday's) live show."
Winfrey, 55, whose current program reaches about 7 million viewers a day, is preparing to start her own cable channel, and it has been widely rumored that she would bring her program to OWN: The Oprah Winfrey Network, a joint venture with Discovery Communications.
AM Edition of the Hotness
Our AM Hotness has to be New Moon. I saw it last night with a group of friends and we all agreed it was Awesome! Everything was better...the acting, the paleness even the sparkle! It was fantastic! McHottie, Mary and I didn't get in till 3:00am and we all were on an Edward Cullen high! Movie rocked!

Live Blog...after Twilight and now waiting for New Moon
We just got done watching Twilight...lots of hootin and hollerin. Giggles and clapping. Now...we all are waiting for New Moon. Mary is sleepy...I think she might cat-nap and dream of Edward.
It is raining in DC...perfect Forks weather for the movie. Thunder rocked the theater! We all yelled "its perfect weather for baseball"!
What team does Pam101 pick? Edward, Jacob, Emmitt...hell maybe Team Esme!
Live Blog From The New Moon Line
Tucson (new nickname being introduced) just coined the phrase "Twisexual"
Definition of Twisexual:
One who can't decide between Team Edward, Team Jacob and Team Emmitt (poor Jasper).
I know many Twisexuals.
We just got our tickets and are giddy!!

Don't mess with Martha
Stewart told ABC News' Cynthia McFadden that Ray's approach to cooking - and cookbook writing - is "not good enough for me."
In her first TV interview since spending five months locked up in 2004-05 for lying to investigators about a stock trade, Stewart said Ray has admitted she can't bake and that one of Ray's recent cookbooks was a compilation of old, re-edited recipes.
"I mean, I really want to write a book that is unique and a lasting thing," Stewart said in an interview airing on "Nightline" tonight at 11:35 on ABC. "Something that will really fulfill a need in someone's library. So, she's different. She's - more of an entertainer than she is, with her bubbly personality, than she is a teacher, like me. That's not what she's professing to be."
Vampire's Guide to Vancouver
People Magazine has a guide to all the hot spots in Vancouver.
While filming Twilight, New Moon and the now-wrapped Eclipse, Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart, Taylor Lautner and the rest of the cast were spotted enjoying the best restaurants, shops and nightlife spots Vancouver had to offer. Check out their site to look at all the cool places to go.
Sitting down with Dave
Letterman asked the question everyone asks Pattinson about co-star Kristen Stewart - if they two are dating in real life.
Pattinson responded, "I've been so sort of cryptically avoiding this question throughout the entire press tour."

R.Patz on Ellen this Friday
Robert Pattinson didn't realize the power of his own words – until a fan starting stripping after he made an off-hand suggestion.
It happened "after a period of signing 500 signatures," the New Moon heartthrob tells Ellen DeGeneres on her show airing Friday.
"You kind of get 10 seconds with each person and you never really say anything and I kind of got bored of saying, 'Hey, how are you doing?'" Pattinson tells the talk show host. "[A fan] said in her 10 seconds, 'What can I do to get your attention?' I was like um, just take your clothes off."
The fan's reaction? "She stood there and frantically started taking her clothes off and got dragged out of the room by security," says Pattinson. "I never felt more terrible."
Mary just sent me this funny email...

I LOVE OUR PM HOTNESS!
It's like People was at my Vampire Dinner Party
People Magazine has an article up on how to have a New Moon pre-party. I did all of these (but one) when I had my Vampire Dinner Party!
1. Test Your Twilight Trivia
2. Feast on Bella's Favorites
Pam101 made "Italiano".
3. Get in Bella's Mood
Listen to Death Cab For Cutie, The Killers and Thom Yorke.
4. DIY: Twilight Makeovers (this is the only thing I didn't do)
5. Story Hour
When Pam101 had her party...Sara read her favorite New Moon part. Then the tissue paper flower caught on fire.
We made it to 42!!!!!!
I have a story about the number 42. When I was a young little grasshopper in the 8th grade I was obsessed (maybe it was love) with an older man. He was a senior, star athlete (jersey was 42) and from what I could tell was nice. My school girl crush (ok, it was an obsession) was bad. I mean BAD. I had his photo everywhere…locker and at home…you name it. Everyone knew about my crush. To this day…I still get embarrassed at how much I crushed on this boy. He gave me a hug once…and I cried. I mean…CRIED. I think that is why I relate to these teenagers who freak out when they meet the cast of Twilight. I once was that girl (wait, I still am that girl). Crying over your crush…at least with my crush he knew my name.
Pam101 Grown Up Note: My old crush now works back home and still talks with my parents…wonder if there is any hope left? I doubt it…I am a city mouse and he is a country mouse. Sigh….
Another Pam101 Note: The guy in the photo is not my crush.
"He's ripped," said producer Wyck Godfrey, "like Marky Mark in 1991."
One of my fave co-workers just sent me this link...so I had to share:
From the LA Times
It must be terrifying to know that fame, like a giant, all-consuming tidal wave, is about to break over you at any moment. But if Taylor Lautner's scared, he's not showing it. In fact, the 17-year-old star of "The Twilight Saga: New Moon," which opens in theaters at midnight Thursday, seems a little too calm. When talking about his starring role as Jacob Black in the follow-up to last year's box office breakout "Twilight," he exudes an effortless boy-next-door charm. His demeanor, though somewhat guarded, is more small-town high school football star than newly minted teen heartthrob.
It's a little eerie, really....Click Here for rest of story.
Looking for a great Cranberry Relish recipe?
This should add that perfect punch to your Thanksgiving!
* 2 pounds fresh cranberries
* 1 cup sugar
* 1/4 cup Grand Marnier liqueur
* 1 orange, zested and juiced
Place all the ingredients in the bowl of a food processor, pulse several times to breakdown the cranberries and incorporate the ingredients; it should still be a bit chunky. Allow the cranberry relish to sit at room temperature for at least 30 minutes, so the flavors can marry.
Hillary Clinton coming to a Vogue near you
After turning down Vogue during the presidential campaign for "fear of looking too feminine," Hillary Clinton has finally granted Vogue the interview they wanted. And the feature, which appears in the magazine's December issue, makes the secretary of state sound like a whole lot of fun.
Writer Jonathan van Meter reports that Clinton enjoys "Mad Men" (telling him "That's how it was!...That's why the women's-liberation movement was so shocking. It was like news from outer space"), is "a champion sleeper" ("[s]he naps on command; she is impervious to jet lag"), and does her own makeup ("holding a compact, Clinton puts on mascara, lipstick, blush, and a little powder").
Clinton graced the cover of Vogue in December 1998, when she was first lady.
The secretary of state was also asked about First Lady Michelle Obama's support for young fashion designers. She told van Meter, "[Michelle] can carry it off and she enjoys it, so more power to her."
And the Sexiest Man Alive is.....Johnny Depp!
Break out the Bordeaux, the whoopee cushions and the bangin' Keith Richards guitar solos, because the 2009 Sexiest Man Alive party is officially under way. Bringing the fun with him wherever he goes – whether it's onscreen in fizzy roles like Captain Jack Sparrow in the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise or at home with his family on their private Bahamian island – is just one reason why Johnny Depp, who also scored the honor in 2003, has joined an elite club of two-time SMA title holders (only Brad Pitt and George Clooney have matched the feat). At 46, the father of two still reigns as Hollywood's most irresistible iconoclast; as one-of-a-kind as his beloved 15-year-old boots and as smoldering as his favorite Cuban cigars.
Who will replace Hugh Jackman?!
InStyle brings us some New Moon: Exclusive Behind-the-Scenes Secrets
1. EDWARD'S AMAZING HAIR: "They were a great group to work with, and they all had pretty good hair—but I have to say, Robert's was probably the best," says New Moon hairstylist Thom McIntyre. "I trimmed his hair probably every week to ten days, just to keep the cut really fresh and chopped into. When we were shooting, I restyled it once or twice a day—the look is meant to be very tousled, and I wanted to be sure it didn't lay flat."
2. BELLA'S RING: Our heroine's moonstone ring "is a carryover from the first film," says wardrobe stylist Tish Monaghan. "The props department had it copied—there were three of them."
3. HAIR: "In Twilight, Nikki Reed [who plays Rosalie Cullen] bleached out the front of her own hair, which caused some major damage, so for New Moon she wore a long, beautiful wig," says McIntyre. While Reed choose to fake it for the sake of keeping her hair healthy, "Elizabeth Reaser [who plays Esme Cullen] had her real hair dyed to match the wig she wore in the first Twilight installment," McIntyre reveals.

Song of the Day
I know this has already been the Song of the Day...but remember it is New Moon week. So, I can use it again!
Oh Miley...You probably just lost some fans
Count Miley Cyrus out of the midnight showings of 'The Twilight Saga: New Moon,' because the 16-year-old superstar doesn't like the series.
"I've never seen it and nor will I ever," Cyrus told a Cleveland radio station backstage at her concert, MTV News reports. "I don't believe in it. I don't like vampires."

The Queen v. Green: Perez Camp Ticked at The Washington Times
"You are a pathetic journalist and I will never work with you again. I am letting all my PR colleagues know that you are shady and not to be trusted. I hope it was worth severing this relationship."
That's part of an email received by Wash Times gossip gal Stephanie Green from Perez Hilton's camp after she broke a story about the self-appointed Queen of all Media's new book, "Perez Hilton's True Bloggywood Stories - The Glamorous Life of Beating, Cheating, and Overdosing."
According to Green, Hilton's rep from EMC Bowery offered her an exclusive interview with Perez last week and she gladly accepted. Green spoke to the flack about the book's contents and to hash out details for the interview. Shortly after, she received a single line email informing her that Perez was going to pass on the TWT piece.
Green proceeded to publish a story with the information she had originally received, only to meet with threats and a demand to remove the story from the TWT website.
The brilliant Erin Green wrote a New Moon piece for Tonic
The premiere of Twilight: New Moon takes place this week, exposing the public to throngs of screaming women overflowing with love for the movie's leading men. Frenzied fans share their devotion and build social bonds. But sometimes expressions of adoration become inappropriate. What happens in the brains of women who fall for men they don't know — and when does it cross the line?
