*This giveaway is now closed.*
Every year as the holidays get closer my to-do-list grows longer and longer. By the time the actual holidays arrive I am begging for them to be over. But this year I am not dreading them half as bad because I have someone on my side. Let me introduce you to Alice, Alice.com that is.
Sure you can buy clothes online. Heck, you can even buy cars online. So why are there only a handful of places to buy everyday household items? That is exactly what the talented team behind Alice.com set out to change. By adding features like instant coupons savings and free shipping, Alice has created a stress free shopping experience that everyone can enjoy.
To get started at Alice.com you first need to create an account. The account is free and you can cancel at anytime. After adding your family members and the products you use it is time to start shopping! Alice.com gave me $20 to spend and I was determined to stretch it as far as I could. For me, it was easiest to use the "Shop by room" feature, that way I could pinpoint exactly what we needed. When you click on your desired room the product page displays featured products that, in most cases, contain items with coupons as well as subcategories to make your search that much easier. When you have chosen the item simply click to add. This is where Alice.com outdoes itself! You can look at product reviews for the item, see how much it costs at other stores and it even allows you to set a certain time frame to remind you that you need to reorder that product! Talk about never running out of toilet paper again!
So what was I able to buy with $20 from Alice.com? Toothpaste (that was on sale for $1.69!), liquid fabric softener, paper towels, stain remover, dishwasher detergent, dish liquid and facial cream. That was 7 items for under $20! The best part was every item, with the exception of the facial cream, came with a coupon. I saved 2.55 and did not even have to go through the process of clipping all of those coupons! Alice also keeps a Budgeting tab of your savings per month and even brakes it down per room.
The whole shopping process was very pleasant. I was able to get everything I needed without having to take a teething toddler with me into a crowded store. So all I was left to do was wait and trust me that did not take long. Just two days later my Alice.com package arrived at my doorstep. I anxiously opened it wondering if I would find spilled dish detergent and fabric softener. Alice.com really does think of everything! All of the lids were taped and the "spillable" items were in a Ziploc bag.
Alice.com is definitely going to be one of my go-to online stores, especially around the holidays when time is scarce. You can stock up on all of the items you need for extra guests (in your p.j.'s) and not have to battle the holiday shoppers. And to make your holidays a little less stressful Alice.com is giving one of my readers the perfect gift!

Pat Dean Penry Award Release
On December 3, 2011 at the 65th Annual Meeting of the American Epilepsy Society held in Baltimore, Maryland, Patricia Dean, a local Miamian, was presented with one of the Society's highest honors, the J. Kiffin Penry Excellence in Epilepsy Care Award.
The award, originally established in 1997, honors Dr. Penry's legacy and his lifelong focus and genuine care for his patients with epilepsy. The award is given annually in recognition of individuals who make a major impact on patient care and improve the quality of life for persons with epilepsy as well as recognize excellence in care for persons with epilepsy.
This year's recipient, Patricia Dean, M.S.N., ARNP, has been taking care of children with epilepsy and their families for over 20 years at the Comprehensive Epilepsy Center of Miami Children's Hospital. Ms. Dean has been involved in every aspect of nursing care of the pediatric epilepsy patient. She presently coordinates care at one of the largest pediatric epilepsy programs in the Southeast and has assisted many families through their hospitalizations, seizures, surgeries and various other trials.
In receiving this award, Ms. Dean noted, "This is a very humbling experience especially thinking of the people who won this award before me…to include a fellow Floridian Dr. Joe Wilder. Joe taught me many years ago that my responsibility to people with epilepsy extends far beyond the walls of the hospital that I worked in. My responsibility is to help them achieve the highest quality of life in whatever way it takes to do it."
Reflecting her commitment and dedication, Ms. Dean remains an avid volunteer in the epilepsy movement at both the local and national level. She is well known throughout the state for her role in 1986 in establishing a camp for children with epilepsy and remains the strongest advocate to this day for sending kids to camp. Ms. Dean has served on the Professional Advisory Board and the Board of Directors of the National Epilepsy Foundation and is currently the President of the Board of Directors of the Epilepsy Foundation of Florida.
"We are all incredibly proud and excited for this honor bestowed upon Pat; thousands of Florida's children and their families have been directly affected by her dedication, compassion and expertise. I can think of no one who better exemplifies excellence in epilepsy care than Pat Dean" said Karen Basha Egozi, Chief Executive Officer, Epilepsy Foundation of Florida.

New Jersey Poverty Rate by County
Loading map...
Value for New Jersey (Percent): 9.1%
Data item: People of all ages in poverty - percent, 2006-2010
Source: U. S. Census Bureau, American Community Survey, 5-Year Estimates. Updated every year. http://factfinder2.census.gov
Poverty statistics in ACS products adhere to the standards specified by the Office of Management and Budget in Statistical Policy Directive 14. The Census Bureau uses a set of dollar value thresholds that vary by family size and composition to determine who is in poverty. Further, poverty thresholds for people living alone or with nonrelatives (unrelated individuals) vary by age (under 65 years or 65 years and older). The poverty thresholds for two-person families also vary by the age of the householder. If a family's total income is less than the dollar value of the appropriate threshold, then that family and every individual in it are considered to be in poverty. Similarly, if an unrelated individual's total income is less than the appropriate threshold, then that individual is considered to be in poverty.
How the Census Bureau Determines Poverty Status
Poverty status is determined by comparing annual income to a set of dollar values called poverty thresholds that vary by family size, number of children and age of householder. If a family's before tax money income is less than the dollar value of their threshold, then that family and every individual in it are considered to be in poverty. For people not living in families, poverty status is determined by comparing the individual's income to his or her poverty threshold.
The poverty thresholds are updated annually to allow for changes in the cost of living using the Consumer Price Index (CPI-U). They do not vary geographically. The ACS is a continuous survey and people respond throughout the year. Since income is reported for the previous 12 months, the appropriate poverty threshold for each family is determined by multiplying the base-year poverty threshold (1982) by the average of monthly CPI values for the 12 months preceding the survey month.
Scope and Methodology:
These data are collected in the American Community Survey (ACS). The data are estimates and are subject to sampling variability. The data for each geographic area are presented together with margins of error at factfinder2.census.gov. The data are period estimates, that is, they represent the characteristics of the population over a specific 60-month data collection period.
Since answers to income questions are frequently based on memory and not on records, many people tended to forget minor or sporadic sources of income and, therefore, underreport their income. Underreporting tends to be more pronounced for income sources that are not derived from earnings, such as public assistance, interest, dividends, and net rental income.

If you like a creative-writing challenge, or just can't draw, but have a great cartoon idea, describe it here, in as few sentences as possible...
Here are three I thought of...(over the last couple years)
An alley in London, 1966.
A "mod" teen is backed up against the wall, wide-eyed and frightened.
At his feet a can of spray paint....On the wall next to him, the scrawled
legend, in two-feet-tall letters "Clapton is GOD"...
An alien faces the youth, ray-gun pointed at his chest.
Nearby sits a stereotypical early-'60s "flying saucer", round, bubble-
domed, and tri-legged, hatch open, ramp extended.
A dusty lot behind a rural building. (GOD's-eye-perspective)
A sign by the 2-lane-blacktop in the background reads: "Dog-Boarding"
The chain-link fence around the lot has been breached, a two-foot-tall arch
cut in the wire, on the ground nearby, a pair of diagonal-cutting pliers .
A half-eaten canine(head, shoulders, front-legs and spine-stump remain)-lays
in the dirt, surrounded by a melee' of tiny human footprints... A crying woman,
her 'tween boy-and-girl, and a worried kennel-owner stand nearby, in a semicircle.
A crinkle-eyed, buff blonde guy in an Aussie bush hat-and clothing squats on the
far side of the carcass, squinting upward at the others.
CAPTION:(in thick aussie accent, of course) "Babies ate your dingo."
Two suburban ranch-style houses, as viewed from the street.
A hedgerow seperates the driveways.
In the driveway to the left, a small, muppet-like bear sits on an
aluminum-and-nylon-webbing lawn chair, surrounded by food wrappers and
empty beer cans. He holds the end of a rope.
The rope snakes under the hedge, ending in a nooselike snare on the
center of the driveway on the right....In the center of the "snare", a copy
of "Vogue", a plate holding a steaming lobster tail, and a visa gold card.
In the wide picture-window of the house on the right, a pretty, trim, 19ish y.o. girl,
with a perky pony tail, peeks from behind the curtain with shining, panic-stricken eyes,
at the "bait" in the driveway
CAPTION: none

By RICHARD SHAWSports editor
After the drubbing that East Carbon administered their sister Tooele County high school, Wendover, earlier in the evening, it would seem the Lady Buffalos would have second thoughts about playing top five Carbon team.
They should have had third, fourth and fifth thoughts too, because the Lady Dinos turned the opportunity into a victory and rang everyone's bell as they had five players in double figures on the way to 93-48 smearing of the team from Tooele.
And this time it wasn't just a Chelsey and Cassie Warburton show either as almost everyone got into the act and 13 players scored in the game.
The game was close for about the first three minutes of the first quarter and then the Carbon racing team took off, stealing the ball and almost scoring at will. They took off on a 20 point run and never looked back, or sideways for that matter as they out ran the lady Buffalos off the court 26-7.
The second quarter was almost a repeat of the first as the Carbon girls put up 27 points while they held the Tooele kids to the same total they had in the first period. Consequently the half time score was 53-14.
Carbon fans were astounded by the score; they were almost in disbelief.
But the third quarter brought in a seemingly different Tooele team. Maybe the coach quickly flew in some more players or the team passed through some type of scientific transformation machine, but one thing was clear. The Tooele team was now ready to play.
And play they did. With little hope of overcoming the big lead they just didn't give up, but came on the court shooting reasonably well and playing some good defense on Carbon's key players. They were able to hold the Lady Dinos to just 16 points, while they themselves scored 16 too. It was at least a moral victory for them.
But in the fourth quarter, they and Carbon returned to the old ways. Coach Bruce Bean sent in a lot of reserves, but how does a coach slow hungry players who want to play down; he doesn't.
Carbon's team on the floor took it to the Lady Buffalos and ended up out scoring them 24-16 in the quarter. This quarter was not played without some controversy however, as the Tooele coach got one technical and was warned a couple of more times.
The leading scorer in the game was Cassie Warburton with 14 points, but sister Chelsey got 12 points and a Stocktonesque total of 13 steals. Stephanie Cox recorded 13, Danielle Julian had 11 and the youngest of the Warburton sisters, 14 year old Morgan had 12.
Sometimes a blowout is a good thing for the winning team, sometimes it is not. When the Lady Dinos travel to Cedar City on Thursday to play Cedar High and to St. George on Friday to play Pine View, the story will definitely be different; these are much better teams playing on their home court.
Based on past performance, however, Carbon will easily be up to the task and will come back for Christmas with two more victories under their belt.
Then on Dec. 28 the team travels to it's biggest test of the year so far. They will go to Heber to play the number one ranked Wasatch Wasps.
A win there could mean a number one ranking for the Lady Dinos.

|Foxx Reminds Residents About Census Jobs
|Written by Adam Hicks
|Thursday, 14 January 2010 04:49
Congresswoman Virginia Foxx is reminding residents still looking for work that they can still apply for jobs with the U.S. Census Bureau's regional office in Boone.
Foxx said, "High Country residents will play a pivotal role in the 2010 Census and jobs with the local Census office are a great opportunity for anyone looking a temporary work. Hard-working and dedicated local employees will be the key to a successful Census count. The High Country has much at stake in the 2010 Census and full participation is the best way for communities to receive their fair share of federal funding for the next ten years."

OK, it's a fair question: Why would we print a guide to our favorite amazing eateries in the midst of an economic crisis? Haven't we heard about the oncoming depression?
Oh, believe us, we know. When money's tight, the last thing you want to do is spend big bucks on a mediocre meal. Luckily, the changes in the economy are a lot easier to swallow when you've got an incredible plate of house-cured meats or flourless chocolate cake in front of you. To make sure you get the most for your money in these trying times, we've spent the past two months eating our way across the city. We ditched a few restaurants that cost more than they should and replaced them with joints that deliver value over luxury. And, although our Restaurant of the Year,
We've made a few other changes, too. Here's the rundown.
THE DIRECTORY We've done our best to make this year's guide indispensable. We want you to find it handy enough to keep in your glove box and refer to all year—olive oil smears be damned. We've provided more ways than ever to find a great meal. In these first pages our favorite restaurants are indexed alphabetically, by the days they're open and by the meals they serve.
THE MAP Every year readers write asking us to include a map of our favorite restaurants. Here you go.
RESTAURANT OF THE YEAR In addition to our favorite new restaurant, we honor the very best brunch, happy hour and dessert we tried this year.
LISTINGS We organized our reviews by cuisine this year, to make the guide more user-friendly. Restaurants that have opened since August 2007 are marked with a NEW icon.
HIGH FIVE Throughout the listings you'll find our top picks in 25 different categories. A few of these restaurants aren't in the top 100, but you can find their addresses on page 69.
RESERVATIONS Places that won't take a reservation for a four-top might as well not take them at all. The ones we've listed as taking reservations will hold a table for four or fewer.
NO-SHOWS Don't see your favorite restaurant here? Check our Cheap Eats guide next March (the 2008 guide is here) or our new Market Guide in April. If it's not there, we probably haven't heard of it. Send me your must-try tips at firstname.lastname@example.com. We'll head on over.
THE MONEY THING Every restaurant here has a dollar rating:
$$ Moderate: most entrees under $20
$$$ Expensive: most entrees under $30
$$$$ Very expensive: most entrees more than $30
Happy eating,
— Ben Waterhouse, editor

Lawrence C. Longway, Pamelia supervisor since 2003, filed papers in 2010 establishing himself as a legal resident of Florida.
Since that time, it appears Mr. Longway has served illegally in his town position. State law requires that a supervisor reside in the town in which he serves. The Jefferson County Board of Elections recently discovered that Mr. Longway may not qualify as a registered voter in New York and is conducting an investigation. Mr. Longway filed a petition to run as a Republican candidate for town supervisor in the countys primary election Sept. 10, and he is listed on the ballot against Scott J. Allen.
The board recently received a letter about Mr. Longways Florida residency from Rochester resident Suzanne Phillips, a Pamelia native. Mr. Longway and his wife, Virginia, bought a property for $725,000 at 1245 Acappella Lane, Apollo Beach, Fla., in July 2007, according to Hillsborough County property records. The couple is listed as owners on the deed and property sale record.
But Mr. Longway claims he is a New York state resident, said Republican Commissioner Jerry O. Eaton, although sources say he spends most of his time in Florida. On the election petition submitted in July, Mr. Longway listed his permanent address as Long-Park Tire, a commercial building he owns at 23751 Route 342.
After informing Mr. Longway of the investigation last week, Mr. Eaton said, the board learned that the town doesnt have a law prohibiting use of a commercial building as a residence. Mr. Longway was given two weeks to submit evidence to prove he is a legal resident, which is due Wednesday.
His name is on the ballot for the primary election, and that wont change because the law doesnt require candidates to be residents until the day of the general election in November, Mr. Eaton said. But the case is still under investigation because we havent had a response, and the ball is in Mr. Longways court to provide evidence that shows hes a resident in the town of Pamelia. This could be a unique case, because the zoning law in the town is more liberal than others in Jefferson County.
Mr. Longway said Thursday that he plans to submit a large packet of documents to the Board of Elections. He claimed Long-Park Tire as his residence this winter after selling his house at 23802 Route 37 on Jan. 18 for $190,000 to Jackie L. St. John Jr., according to Jefferson County property records. Mr. Longway did not claim a STAR exemption for the house.
They never even contacted me before they made this judgment call, Mr. Longway said Thursday by telephone from his Florida house. I have all kinds of proof Im still a legal resident of the state of New York. All of the income tax Ive paid has went through New York state, and I have my drivers license. My accountant has done my books for over 40 years, and he told (the board) that if Im not allowed to vote in New York state, theyre not going to get my income taxes because Im going to pull out of New York and move to Florida.
In spite of that evidence, however, Mr. Longway signed a document in March 2010 identifying himself as a permanent Florida resident. To seek tax relief for their house on Tampa Bay, the Longways applied for a Homestead Exemption at the Hillsborough County Property Appraiser Office. Though Mrs. Longway initially applied as a single applicant in February, Mr. Longway added his information after the couple learned that married couples who own homes are required to apply together, said Marilyn Martinez, manager of the exemptions department.
One of the questions on the application asks, When did you last become a permanent resident of Florida? Mr. Longway answered June 1, 2004. The Longways had a previous home in the Tampa Bay area.
Had we known at that time he might have had a home out of state, we would have looked into that, Ms. Martinez said. We have a compliance department in charge of investigations.
The Longways have garnered savings from the Homestead Exemption of at least $750 a year since 2010, Ms. Martinez said. The compliance department will now investigate Mr. Longways history, she said. If it discovers Mr. Longway was indeed a New York resident when he applied, she said, it will place a homestead lien on the residence and attempt to recover money the couple saved.
I dont ever remember doing that, Mr. Longway said when asked about his signature on the application. And I dont think my name should be even on that deed for the property.
Mr. Longway said he bought the property in his own name as a vacant lot in 2007. Construction of the house began in 2008 and was finished in 2009. Mr. Longway said his wife should be listed as the sole property owner.
Once I got the house built in 2009 and she was living in it, I rolled the property over in her name, he said.
Mr. Longway said he splits his time living in Florida and Pamelia. He makes flights about once a month to attend Town Council meetings and attend to business in the area. In addition to Long-Park Tire, he owns Longways Diner, 23725 Route 342.
I certainly do not spend half of the time in Florida, he said. He then continued: Its probably half and half. Im coming north Monday and going up for all of September.
But Code Enforcement Officer Walter H. VanTassel said: He spends the bulk of his time in Florida, like 12 months of the year, but hes back up here for board meetings. He comes up here for about a week or so each month for board meetings.
Mr. VanTassel inspected Mr. Longways living arrangement at Long-Park Tire last week, and he said it qualifies as a residence.
You can live in the same building with a commercial business in the town of Pamelia, but where you live needs a fire wall separation, like a concrete wall. Long-Park Tire has three different rooms that would qualify as residential, he said.
Long-Park Tire is a temporary living arrangement, Mr. Longway said. He plans eventually to move into a house now under construction at the subdivision he owns on Liberty Avenue north of Route 342.
I have a brand new home at the end of the street that I havent sold, he said. Normally my wife comes up from July and stays until October, but shes not coming up, and thats why it was no big deal to finish the house.
Mr. Longway plans to live at Long-Park Tire in the meantime.
I have my suitcase and a bed there, and I eat at Longways Diner, he said.

(NEWS CENTER) -- Democratic candidate for governor Mike Michaud's campaign is getting off to an bumpy start, at least when it comes to one of his first political ads.
The first version said that Maine's economy lost jobs, when in fact it had gained a few thousand. And it didn't take long for republicans backing incumbant Paul LePage to jump on the mistake, even after the ad was pulled and fixed.
We talk with NEWS CENTER political analysts Phil Harriman and Ethan Strimling about this latest dust up, plus other things happening in Augusta and beyond.

7 Best Lip Balms -- and the 5 Worst
You know how a great lip balm gets your lips smooth and soft instantly -- and a bad one takes forever to work (if it works at all)? Here's what to pick, and what to skip, for your softest lips ever
Why: Readers expected a lot from this brand, but were ultimately disappointed by this product. One reader writes, "I'm a huge fan of The Body Shop and the mango line, so I was excited to try out this lip butter because the body version is a dream. I was very disappointed, as the other reviewers have mentioned the product gradually turns very waxy and grimy feeling. It just doesn't have that nice smooth feel and instead feels like I have crumbs stuck to my mouth. It also has this slightly opaque whiteness to it, which makes your lips look odd. And the smell ... sigh. I love the smell of the other mango products in the line, but this just smelled totally different!"

The very best lip balm is Cocoa Butter Lip Balm by "Cococare! The cost is only $1.99 at any beauty supply store. It is rich and creamy and repaired my slightly dry lips over night... and I've tried all those mentioned above.

I might try the Rose Salve and Beecology based on this, but I'm very disappointed that Burt's Bees -- my staple -- isn't mentioned.

Wish I'd read this before ordering one of the balms on the worst list. I haven't received it yet. I'll have to let you know if I too think it's the worst

After more than 10 years of allegedly sending youths to private prisons in exchange for around $1 million in kickbacks, former Luzerne County, Pennsylvania Judge Mark Ciavarella (photo) was sentenced to 28 years in prison — essentially a life sentence for the 61-year-old convicted criminal.
In February, a jury found Ciavarella guilty on 12 counts of everything from conspiracy and racketeering to money laundering and tax evasion. Another 27 counts, including bribery and extortion, were rejected by jurors.
The federal charges stemmed from Ciavarella's involvement in a criminal plot to fill up privately owned juvenile-detention facilities. According to prosecutors, he was handing out wildly inappropriate sentences to first-time offenders and even children as young as 10.

We are in the beginning stages of developing an internal application for our company using PHP / MySQL. One of the questions we are trying to determine is whether or not to use persistent connections. When discussing this with my colleague, he informed me that we would be using a single username/password for all connections to MySQL.
I have been a developer for about 8 years, but am fairly new to the PHP/ MySQL universe. This seems to be a strange security measure, but he tells me that we will do that so that we can take full advantage of persistent database connections. My question is two-fold:
1. Will this really give us a big advantage by using persistent connections (it's an internal app with limited users -- say no more than 500 to start)?
2. Are there any inherent problems using a single username/password for MySQL? We would build some sort of user authentication into the app, but all DB connections would be made with this one username.
If you can point me to any articles that discuss these issues, or offer any personal insight, it would be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance!

- 1 of 14If you're a fashion fanatic in the slightest, chances are you spend a fair amount of time on Style.com every day. The site is the go-to resource for the entire industry, thanks to its breaking news, trusted reviews, and comprehensive catalog of every look from every show, all of which are guided by today's top-notch subject: Style.com's Executive Editor, Nicole Phelps. This ultra-insider graciously gave us access to her office for this month's Fashion Office, which was created in partnership with our amazing friends at The Coveteur!
- 2 of 14"Marina Larroude, Style.com's market director, is always telling me to get a shelf. She's right. I inevitably need something out of one of the books closest to the bottom. Some of them date to my ELLE magazine days and even have Post-it notes from back then. I love opening something and finding little time capsules like that."
- 3 of 14"My office will never be this neat and clean again. At Style.com we always say that 'the Internet never sleeps' and during fashion show season our staff doesn't sleep much either. But even during the three months of the year that we're not covering shows (April, August, and November) it's still full-on just getting the daily content up."
- 4 of 14"I have subscriptions to tons of magazines, but Paris Vogue is the one that I never toss."
- 5 of 14"When it comes to fragrances, I switch between Scent of a Woman from Frederic Malle and the latest from the Escentric Molecules gang (right now I love Kinski, which is technically a men's perfume). But I held onto these Prada boxes because I love their Art Nouveau design."

"This is another Karl Lagerfeld memento. Way, way back in 1996, when Bill Clinton was re-elected President, WWD held a survey asking what Hillary should wear to the Inauguration Ball. As the assistant to Etta Froio at the time, I was the girl who received all the entries. Karl Lagerfeld's came on personalized stationery, naturally, and with a trademark quip. He chose a Donna Karan look that was modeled by Linda Evangelista, or some other Glamazon, and wrote, 'The body can be ordered too?"
- 7 of 14"I don't usually buy them for myself, but I love fresh flowers. If someone asks for a florist, I usually recommend VSF on 10th Street in the West Village."

"These line drawings arrived in the mail one day from Tibi designer Amy Smilovic. I should have them framed, they're so pretty. The Blackberry wannabe from Samsung is my work device. I still use it for emailing because during shows I do so much writing on the thing. I guess I'm a bit of a Luddite."
"The python bag is by Reed Krakoff. I got it last summer and have been putting it to good use since. I'm not a bag freak, so I appreciate its simplicity and how anonymous it is."
- 9 of 14"A souvenir from a story at ELLE magazine."

"I am a creature of habit: yogurt, fruit, and a Starbucks for breakfast, and for lunch a salad from Pret a Manger or La Pain Quotidien, or if I'm really lucky, leftovers that my husband packs me. He's the house chef since our son was born."
"This is the invitation to Alexander McQueen's Spring 2010 Plato's Atlantis show. I don't usually hang onto invites, but this one was special, its lenticular design changes from a normal girl-well, if you can call Raquel Zimmermann, who starred in the video that played behind the runway, normal-and an underwater alien. Of course, it was McQueen's last show while he was alive; now I'll never get rid of it."
- 11 of 14"Style.com's first ad campaign promoting New York Fashion Week. The only thing better than coming up with alliterations like Passionate about Proenza Schouler and Zany For Zac Posen was seeing it plastered all over Manhattan."

"Fairchild CEO Gina Sanders calls this my brag board. My favorite note on it came about a year ago from Nicolas Ghesquiere. In Style.com's review of his Spring 2012 Balenciaga show I wrote, 'The fashion set has long worshiped at the altar of Nicolas Ghesquiere,' so he signed his letter, 'Religiously yours.'"

Kidd Making Progress but Return Still Uncertain
According to Michael Scotto at RealGm.com, Jason Kidd is progressing toward a possible return, but the Knicks are still unsure about exactly when they can expect to have the guard back in the lineup:
"Well, he's back out on the floor shooting a little bit, but when his return is expected, I don't know at this point still," said Woodson.
Kidd will be brought back slowly when he returns.
"Based on what the doctors tell me, we might have to monitor his minutes big time until he's actually at full strength again. So we'll just play it by ear and see what happens."
Brian DiMenna
The Knicks would obviously be wise to bring Kidd back slowly, as the idea is to have him ready to play at the end of the season as opposed to the beginning. New York will also have the luxury of being careful thanks to the improved play of Pablo Prigioni, who has subbed in spectacularly since Kidd went down with the injury.
Kidd's play had been one of the big stories for the Knicks during their hot start to the season, as in addition to his role facilitating the improved ball movement New York's enjoyed for much of the year, he'd also been simply shooting lights out from the field. The Knicks are certainly going to miss that buffet of skills, but appear to be smartly playing it safe in Kidd's recovery.

Point Foundation empowers promising LGBTQ students to achieve their full academic and leadership potential – despite the obstacles often put before them – to make a significant impact on society.
Bryan Blaise was 25 years old the first time he truly felt the sting of discrimination. Calling conservative and religious Central Florida home, he had largely survived years of bullying for his being different thanks to the inherent privileges of being a white, Christian male in the South. Yet out and serving as a volunteer at Chicago's Willow Creek church, suddenly even those unearned privileges could not keep him from being marginalized to the back pews. While he had worked tirelessly since coming out to help his family, heterosexual communities and LGBT friends understand his reconciled faith and innate sexuality, this transformative event opened Bryan's eyes to the urgent need for greater inclusivity and equality within all organizations. With a deeper understanding of what colleagues of different races, gender and gender expression had experienced for years, Bryan narrowed his career and civic efforts to building bridges between opposing communities – joining the us and the others. Bryan's journey led him to expand the membership and mission of Urban Village Church and The Marin Foundation in Chicago. Now, he is studying global leadership and management at Columbia Business School, with a research concentration on organizational change and intersectional inclusivity models. He is an active leader of the school's leadership and LGBT clubs, the latter of which boasts more than 400 straight allies. With his MBA and passion for social justice, Bryan plans to help organizations structure greater inclusivity and equity into their operations, while advancing the opportunities of all marginalized groups.

Midwest Living Review
Even though the Cleveland Play House isn't new (it's actually the oldest regional theater company in the nation), it does have a fresh home in the revamped, reconfigured Allen Theater. CPH has taken this nearly century-old Art Deco theater and turned it into a sophisticated cutting-edge performance space.
CPH divided the old 2,500-seat theater into three different venues—the new Allen, Second Stage featuring a 300-seat reconfigurable floor plan, and The Helen, an intimate 150-seat lab theater. Most performances are staged in the Allen, where CPH has carefully blended superior special-effect technology with the original gingerbread interior. With just 500 super-plush seats to work with (in CPH's signature orange shade), every spot offers an outstanding view. The rotunda lobby feels more like a swanky living room; its sleek white couches, three bars and two gallery spaces make intermission a party.
The CPH productions (September through May) focus mainly on contemporary dramas, comedies, and musicals created or selected specifically for northeast Ohio audiences. Ticket prices vary by show, but usually range from $35 to $70. Guests can park in the adjacent Playhouse Square garage off Chester Avenue for $10.

I would definitely recommend them to others, and most likely will buy another pair for spare.

Wonderful Wellington
You probably know Wellington is the capital of Kiwiland. But did you also know it's a harbour city that is so good-looking you could even forget to make the obligatory sheep jokes, or sniggeringly try to lure locals into a conversation about 'fush und chups'?
Well, OK, nothing is that good-looking… But as far as global capitals go, Wellington is small but perfectly formed. Much of Wellington can be discovered on foot, with galleries and museums and other attractions like the recently spruced up Carter Observatory (with its digital planetarium) all within easy walking distance.
Further afield in Lower Hutt, Vogel House is a fine example of colonial architecture. 'The Hutt' was also home to a huge castle while Peter Jackson's Lord of the Rings trilogy was being filmed in New Zealand. Jackson has even established multi-million-dollar film studios in the neighbouring suburb of Miramar, which Mexican director Guillermo del Toro has called 'Hollywood the way God intended it.'
If Jackson's Weta Studiosrepresent the new frontier in terms of arts and culture, ZEALANDIAis doing the same for conservation. While on the Waterfront, innovative chefs are pushing culinary boundaries.
So whether it's browsing the Harbourside market on a Sunday or immersing yourself in culture and art, be sure to soak up the city, because Wellington won't fail to impress. Just don't let on to the locals – that would be very un-Australian!
Wellington's Top 10
10. City Gallery Wellington exhibits contemporary visual arts – everything from paintings to sculptures and graphic design, they've got it!
5. Wellington Botanic Garden Colourful flower displays and beautifully landscaped conifers and plant collections can be admired at this 25-hectare garden.
9. Pataka A museum that exhibits artworks of Maori, Pacific Island and New Zealand art. A must-see if you're interested in exploring the cultural side of New Zealand.
4. Zealandia: The Karori Sanctuary Experience At this urban sanctuary you can explore the wildlife native to New Zealand like the kiwi and saddlebacks. There's a Sanctuary by Night tour as well.
8. Weta Cave in Miramar is Weta's mini-museum. Discover how some of the most eye-popping special effects in cinema history have been achieved.
3. Wellington Zoo See the famous kiwi! The zoo is also known for its efforts with endangered species like Sumatran tigers and Malayan sun bears.
7. Parliament Buildings Free one hour tours of the parliament buildings (known as 'the Beehive') give you the chance to learn more about NZ's progressive, trend-setting political history.
2.Mount Victoria also known as Mt. Vic, is where you'll get a wonderful view of the city. The hill was used twice in the filming of Lord of the Rings trilogy.
6. Wellington Cable Car Commanding lovely views of various parts of the city, the cable car ride is only 4.5 minutes long. Check out the Cable Car Museum, too, for an account of the ride's 100-year history.
1. Te Papa Museum This national museum is one of a kind. It's interactive; it has motion simulators and 3D animation. And all the while educates about Maori culture and New Zealand history. It's the most popular attraction in Wellington.

Wellington LocalCity Centre
Wellington's city centre is located near the Waterfront, making for a picture-perfect urban landscape. The district contains quite a few important attractions like the State Opera House, Wellington Town Hall, and City Art Gallery. It also includes Civic Square, which is paved with yellow terra cotta bricks. Public events and markets are frequently held here.Cuba Street
Trendy and vibrant, Cuba Street is chock-a-block with hip cafes, chic boutiques and charismatic street entertainers. The area also hosts a few events throughout the year, namely Cuba Street Carnival and the Fringe Festival. There's a real heart to Cuba street, and you'll love immersing yourself in the hustle and bustle or simply stepping off to a cosy café to order a flat white (after all, New Zealand is where the flat white originated!) and watch the world go by.Waterfront
Walking through Wellington's popular Waterfront area is a must. Extending from Oriental Parade to Queen's Wharf, Waterfront is where you can find loads of upmarket restaurants and bars. The parks and gardens also make it a great place to find scenic picnic spots, and on a nice day all that is required to enjoy this spot in the city is a picnic and a good-looking lover to enjoy it with. (If finding a good-looking picnic companion proves somewhat difficult, you can always brush up on your local knowledge with a visit to the Museum of Wellington City & Sea, which invites you to explore New Zealand's maritime history.)
Wellington Eat & Drink
In Wellington you can enjoy Modern New Zealand cuisine (what exactly this entails tends to be widely subjective), European fine dining and even Southeast flavours. Wellington has a diverse range of restaurants on offer – all you need is a healthy appetite, a willingness to translate your waiter's accent and enjoy the sunshine.
The White House is an award-winning restaurant offering modern New Zealand cuisine with spectacular sea views at Oriental Parade.
Logan Brown New Zealand's Restaurant of the Year can be found in a former bank building. Relish in international cuisine favouring fish and game. Cuba Street
Citron Celebrated chef Rex Morgan will entice you with this Modern European fine dining experience. Opt for the nine-course degustation! City Centre
Pravda Classy bistro dining at its finest, Pravda is also a café that prides itself on serving first-rate coffee. Customhouse Quay
Martin Bosley's Yacht Club Restaurant is a sophisticated waterfront restaurant with award-winning Modern New Zealand fare. Seafood at its best! Oriental Parade
Floriditas With its European café-style menu and good coffee, it's no wonder that Floriditas is a favourite with locals. City Centre
Francois For authentic French food you don't need to go any further. Francois dishes up excellent French cuisine in an historic colonial building. Thorndon
Chow is a popular restaurant serving tapas-style Southeast Asian fare. Enjoy your meal with a glass of sake or a cup of tea. This place will have you leaving in high spirits. City Centre

Shed 5 Dining at the wharf sounds pretty appealing already, but the contemporary seafood cuisine will leave you begging for more. Queen's Wharf
Wellington Events
At the Cuba Street Carnival in February, you'll be entertained by street buskers and a street parade. There's also a street market for those shopping fanatics out there.
The all-encompassing New Zealand Fringe Festival in February will charm you with theatre, comedy, dance, music and art.
Film buffs, here's your reason to visit Wellington in winter – the two-week New Zealand International Film Festival makes its mark in July.
In August and September, make sure you go to the Montana World of WearableArt Awards Show where art, dance and fashion obscure the lines to become one.
From September to October the Spring Festival enlivens Wellington with spring flowers, crafts and workshops at Wellington Botanic Gardens.
The Organic River Festival is a three day event that starts just before the New Year. You can chow down on food, sip on wine as you're entertained by talented performers and musicians.
When To Go
Wellington experiences the same seasons as southern Australia, though the temperatures are slightly cooler.
Known as the 'Windy City' (and not because its residents eat too much fibre), Wellington only ever gets up to around 8°C during the sunlight hours of winter months, and can fall to below zero overnight with occasional frost and snow.
Summer sees pleasant temperatures of around 25°C, although the temperature can remain quite low in some of the low-lying valleys around the city.
Spring and autumn are the best times to visit from a tourist standpoint, but Wellington is accessible and enjoyable year-round.

Getting Around
- Once in Wellington, the best way to explore the city is to walk! Otherwise, you can take the bus (get a free network map) if you're heading out to the suburbs. An all-day central bus pass costs $9 ($15 for a group pass of up to four people).
- Make sure you make time to take at least one trip on Wellington's iconic cable car. It's not really a means of transport, but it is a nice way to see the city.
- Other alternatives include the train, taxis, and renting a car (although parking can be problematic and expensive).
What To Miss
Although New Zealand is relatively safe, this shouldn't mean you let your guard down. Tourists in any city are targets for thieves, so be sure to take the same precautions you would in other large cities.
It's actually quite common for cars to suffer break-ins. Older models with simple locks are the more likely targets, so hire a newer model. Regardless, make sure you park in well-lit areas and remove valuables before you leave it.

"Join us on November 24th, 2006, the busiest shopping day of the year, as we boldly proclaim the Gospel of Jesus Christ at more than 300 Wal-Mart locations."
See my blog post about it here:
If we create a nationwide presence on this day, we can let other religions know that Pastafarianism is really a force to be reckoned with. What do you think, fellow Pastafarians? Will you join me?
I have not done any real work for my religion yet, and I feel it is time that I do now. Whether you have already or not, this day can make the world a better place. I hope many of you will agree.

A Poem for Nate Robinson
Barry Petchesky over at Deadspin has a pretty hilarious tribute to Nate Robinson from his Knicks days that can't be recommended enough. Here was a particularly enjoyable passage:
Every team needs an irrational fan favorite. If it's not the short guy, it's the white guy, or barring that, the fat guy or the old guy. For the Knicks, for four-and-a-half seasons, it was their third scoring option. This was not a recipe for success, and Nate Robinson was the most visible figure on a team that was often terrible, occasionally stupid, and never boring. I miss him. I know it's not healthy, but this is my chosen codependence, and I make no apologies for pining for our abusive relationship solely because he made me laugh.
Brian DiMenna
The whole things is definitely worth your time.
As dismal as you may be feeling after last night's disappointing finish in Brooklyn, it's worth a second to remember how much better things are around these parts. The Knicks played a high-intensity game Monday night with first place in the division on the line. There were stakes in the proceedings, clear and much-desired stakes. It's a great thing.
Because it wasn't too long ago that the lone attraction on the Knicks was to see what crazy thing Nate Robinson might do. He could go for 35, or he might shoot threes at his own basket. It was that kind of unsatisfying rollercoaster, the kind that just sort of makes you dizzy.
The Knicks spent a lot of time in those days marketing Robinson, a physical freak of nature who was endearing in his way, but a player who sadly had little to do with winning. It was a four-year, love-hate relationship, in which we were amused by his antics and at times spectacular ability, while bewildered by his cartoonish decision making and the fact his teams never won many actual games.
It's sort of amazing really. Nate Robinson can do things that almost defy human capability. His leaping ability is nothing short of a miracle. And yet, if he's on the cover of your media guide, you know your team is basically screwed.
So cheers, Nate! It was fun in its way, but man am I glad that it's over.

CANTON Large metal tanks, a giant cooler and other beer-making equipment have been installed at the new St. Lawrence Brewing Co., which plans to begin production later this month and be ready for customers by June 1.
The start-up microbrewery is housed in St. Lawrence Countys new industrial building off Commerce Lane between the St. Lawrence County Correctional Facility and Triple A Building Center.
Owner Kenneth M. Hebb said hes waiting for the rest of the equipment including fermenting tanks and the beer canning machine to arrive.
He also needs final approval from state regulating agencies including the liquor authority, taxation and finance and agriculture and markets.
A lot of things have to come together, Mr. Hebb said, noting that hes encouraged by the feedback hes getting from restaurants and retailers who want to sell the locally-made craft beer.
Theres a lot of interest out there, both from businesses and individuals, he said.
Mr. Hebb and his wife, Katrina G. Hebb, reside in the town of Hermon and also own the Blackbird Cafe, 107 Main St. and the Parkview, a tavern above the Blackbird.
For all of their business ventures, the couple tries to use locally-produced products that reflect north country tastes and customs.
Some of the ingredients for the beer will be grown locally, including barley. Maple syrup, honey and rye from north country producers will be featured in other beer recipes.
Also, the giant metal tanks were fabricated by Mark Hebel, owner of Hebel Welding & Machine, Rensselaer Falls.
Stephanie M. Russo, a Potsdam resident who serve as the facilitys brewmaster, said a trademark of craft beer is using local products.
The trend toward eating locally-produced food is also a trend in craft beer, Ms. Russo said. Now we can show the public how that all works.
Events that feature beer and food pairings are also becoming popular, she said.
The 3,000 square-foot brewery includes a tap room where visitors will be able to sample the beer and purchase growlers. It will feature a bar, tables and chairs, a dart board and merchandise like T-shirts and glasses with the brewerys logo.
Eventually, tours will be provided to the public. The beer will be sold to restaurants and bars by the keg. Retail stores will sell the 16-ounce cans of beer. Growlers will be sold at the tap room and at craft beer exchanges.
Ms. Russo completed a four-week internship last year at a microbrewery in Tennessee to learn the process.
Shes excited about working at St. Lawrence Countys first microbrewery and developing different recipes.
I like seeing the whole transformation of fresh barley and other ingredients. Its fulfilling to make things from scratch, she said.
Initially, St. Lawrence Brewing Co. will produce four different types of beer, ranging from light to heavy, including an India pale ale, a maple porter, a Bohemian pilsner and a bock.
The brewery equipment includes a millhouse where the grain is stored, a grinder that will crush the grain and a hopper where the grain is mixed with water. The mixture then goes to a boil kettle, where it gets mixed with hops. Next, its filtered and cooled through a whirlpool. The final step is storing the liquid in fermentation barrels, where its mixed with yeast. The fermentation process takes about three weeks depending on the style.
The facility includes a 32-pallet cooler where the beer will be stored until its trucked out.
Initially, the brewery will be staffed by four or five employees, Mr. Hebb said.
We are as excited as the rest of the public to have this going and ready for consumption, said Travis L. Pierce, one of the brewerys staff members.
Updates about the microbrewery can be found on the St. Lawrence Brewing Co. Facebook page.

- How to Read a Study Record
For people with HIV who are currently taking specific medications (including Sustiva (efavirenz)) and have no detectable viral load, this study tracks how patients do if they take their medications for five days of the week compared with seven days of the week.
HIV Infections
Drug: efavirenz
Drug: tenofovir
Drug: emtricitabine
Phase 4
|Study Type:
|Study Design:
|Allocation: Randomized
Endpoint Classification: Safety/Efficacy Study
Intervention Model: Crossover Assignment
Masking: Open Label
Primary Purpose: Treatment
|Official Title:
|A Randomized Controlled Trial of a Weekly Schedule of Five Consecutive Days on Treatment With Efavirenz, Tenofovir, and Emtricitabine Followed by Two Days Off Treatment (5/2 Intermittent Treatment Schedule) Versus Continuous Treatment in Individuals With Virologic Suppression on This Combination
- Percentage of Participants Who Maintained Virologic Suppression (Less Than 50 RNA Cps/ml) [ Time Frame: 24 weeks ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]Percentage of Participants maintaining full Virologic Suppression (less than 50 RNA cps/ml)
- Mean CD4+ T-cell Count Increases From Baseline to Week 24. [ Time Frame: Baseline to Week 24 ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
- Quality of Life [ Time Frame: 4 weeks ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]Participant preference of antiretroviral (ART) regimen determined on a scale ranging from 0 to 10. O was defined as "I Perfer taking HIV medications 7 days/week" and 10 was defined as "I perfer 5 days on and 2 days off". We present results of a single question on quality of life experienced while on their study ART regimen.
- Absolute Number of Virological "Blip" Events Occurring Over 24 Weeks [ Time Frame: Baseline to week 24 ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]Total number of "blip" events in each arm. Blips are defined as HIV RNA > 50 and < 200 cps/ml
- Trough Blood Levels of Efavirenz in Both Arms [ Time Frame: 12 or 60 hours ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]blood levels of efavirenz measured at 60 hours post last dose in FOTO arm and 12 hours post last dose in daily arm (control)
- Self-reported Adherence Summary in Both Arms [ Time Frame: 4, 12 and 24 weeks ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]Percentage of participants who missed one or more doses in weekly regimen.
- Deviation From FOTO Schedule by One Extra Dose [ Time Frame: 4, 12, 24 weeks ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]Percentage of FOTO participants who took a dose during weekend planned interuption period

The purpose of this study is to evaluate virologic control of a weekly schedule of 5 days of treatment followed by two days off treatment versus continuous treatment with the same regimen. This is a larger study based on the results of our successful pilot study using the same protocol. The 48 week, phase IV trial addresses the issues of the high cost of HIV treatment, adherence problems associated with daily treatment, and cumulative toxicities. Virologic and immunologic parameters, drug levels of efavirenz, adherence, and toxicity will be measured. Subjects will have to be seen at CRI for 6 visits after randomization. Subjects randomized to daily therapy will cross over to 5/2 therapy at 24 weeks if their viral load remains undetectable.
