Get Prepared
I'm buying new glasses for my kid online. Where do I start?
Get Your Kid an Eye Exam
Get your kid's current prescription by getting an eye exam from your local eye doctor.
Measure Your Kid's PD
PD (pupillary distance) indicates the space between the pupils of the eyes. If your prescription doesn't include a PD, you can measure it yourself.
Measure Your Kid's Current Glasses
Using a ruler, you can measure the distance across the front of your kid's current frames as a starting point.
Features & Add-Ons
You can customize any pair of Zenni eyeglasses with enhancements, including anti-reflective coating, polarized lenses, tints, and personalized frame engraving.
100% UV protection
UV radiation from the sun can damage the skin of your eyelids as well as the cornea, the lens, and the other parts of your eye. Long-term exposure can lead to vision-threatening conditions in the future. Kids' eyes are especially vulnerable to UV damage. All Zenni Optical glasses come with 100% UV protection to help protect your children's eyes.
Anti-Reflective (AR) Coating
Also known as anti-glare coating, AR coating cuts down on stray light interfering with your vision. Having AR coating on your lenses allows others to admire your eyes instead of looking into windowpane reflections off your glasses. AR coating is designed to improve your visual comfort, and is recommended by eye doctors to decrease eyestrain while looking at tablets and computer monitors.
Photochromic Lenses
Photochromic lenses darken to 70-80% tint when exposed to sunlight, then fade back to clear when returning indoors. Starting at $19, they can turn any pair of clear lenses into kids' sunglasses.
Polycarbonate and Trivex Lenses for Kids
Impact-resistant lenses such as polycarbonate and Trivex are the #1 recommendation made by eye doctors and opticians for kids' glasses. Not only are they 100% UV protectant and have excellent optical clarity, these lightweight plastics are strong enough to be used in construction helmets and space shuttles. They are the safest materials available for protecting your kids' eyes.
Custom Engraving
You can add text and numbers on the inside or outside of the temple arms of your Zenni eyeglasses. A popular option is to label your kids' eyeglasses so they can find their way back home if lost.

Kids Outdoors
Research shows that playing outdoors is essential for kids' physical and mental development. However, children are especially vulnerable to sun damage because of their inability to filter ultraviolet light with their developing crystalline lenses. Just as you would apply sunscreen to your kids' sensitive skin, make sure their eyes are covered with UV protective glasses. All of Zenni's lenses are 100% UV protectant, whether or not they are tinted.
Flexible & Durable Frames[ Learn More ]
Zenni eyeglass frames are designed to be virtually kid-proof. With bendable temples and spring-hinges, these frames are lightweight, comfortable, and made to last. Look out for our frames made with TR90, a new flexible plastic that's completely chemical and sweat resistant!
Lightweight & Impact-Resistant Lenses[ Learn More ]
Playing outdoors can be rough, so most eye doctors and opticians recommend (and sometimes require) children's glasses be made with polycarbonate or Trivex plastics. These lightweight, impact-resistant lenses can shield eyes from potential injuries or shattering during wear.
Great Fit & Color Options[ Learn More ]
Unlike the limited selection at most optical stores, Zenni has hundreds of kids' eyeglass designs, from fun and colorful to grown-up and trendy. Using Zenni Frame Fit®, you can upload your kid's photo online and virtually try on every one of our hundreds of children's eyeglasses. Look for suggested pupillary distances and frame sizes to help filter your selections and guarantee a great fit.
Sunglasses & 100% UV Protection[ Learn More ]
Having a pair of Zenni eyeglasses means your kid's eyes are 100% protected from UV light. Even Zenni's clear lenses are made to filter out all UV radiation. Adding a tint or photochromic feature to lenses keeps your kids from needing to squint in the sunlight and gives them more comfortable vision. Did you know you can add a tint to any pair of frames and make a custom set of kids' sunglasses?
Zenni Kids Frequently Asked Questions
What do I need to order my kids' glasses online with Zenni?
You'll need to have your child's current prescription and Pupillary Distance (PD). Ask for the PD at the time of the eye exam. If the eye doctor won't provide it' you can measure it at home. As your child grows the PD will change, so re-measure it now and then.
You also want to make sure the frame will fit. If you have a pair of eyeglasses that fit your kid well, measure the dimensions to use as reference.
Do kids need sunglasses?
Yes. Just as sunscreen is essential in protecting your kids' skin from harmful UV rays' kids' eyes need just as much' if not more' protection from the sun.
Kids younger than 5 have no UV protection in their eyes' crystalline lenses. By age 10' only 25 percent of UV radiation is blocked by the lens' which means that 75 percent of eye-damaging UV rays are transmitted to the retina. By age 25' the lens is much more protective' absorbing 90 percent of UV light. However' 80% of retina damage occurs by age 21. This leads to serious eye problems later in life' including cataracts and macular degeneration.
You definitely want to encourage your kids to get plenty of sunshine' because sunlight provides dopamine' which is important for their brain and vision development. Therefore' it's crucial that your kids get plenty of sunlight' and that their eyes are protected when they are getting it.
By putting your kids in their prescription polycarbonate or Trivex glasses' you're already ahead of the game when it comes to 100% UV protection. Take the next step with a pair of sunglasses' which tend to come in larger frames and offer more surface area coverage from UV rays.
A pair of tinted sunglasses can help stop your kids from having to squint in the sunlight. In addition to reducing light sensitivity' especially in kids with lighter colored eyes' tinted lenses cut down on glare and provide comfortable outdoor vision. As an added benefit' certain tints are shown to improve contrast and depth perception in your young athletes.
How good are Zenni glasses? What standards of quality do Zenni glasses adhere to?
Because kids can be rough on their eyeglasses' it's important to get frames and lenses that can withstand rough treatment. Zenni achieves it through accurate prescription fulfillment (our tolerance standards exceed American National Standard Institute (ANSI) & rigorous testing processes including impact resistance test as outlined by FDA & ANSI
Since 2003' millions of customers have purchased Zenni Optical glasses online' adding the most important seal of approval – our customers.
How long will it take the glasses to arrive?
Standard shipping to a U.S. address should take about 2-3 weeks. If you order your glasses via express shipping to a physical U.S. address (not a P.O. box)' the glasses will be delivered by UPS' and you should receive them within a week and a half. We offer international express shipping to Canada only' and you should receive your glasses in about a week and a half. International standard shipping could be longer' depending on the country.
How do I help my child adjust to wearing glasses? Are there any special concerns?
With a lot of kid-friendly styles and pop culture heroes who wear glasses' this is a great time for kids' glasses. But if this is your child's first pair of glasses' it can be challenging to get them to wear the glasses.
Shop for frames together. If your kids help pick out the color' shape' and style of their glasses' they will be more inclined to wear them. Make selecting a frame fun! If your kids don't have glasses now' take them to a local optical shop or drugstore and have them try on some frames to see which fit the best and look good on their face. Bring a millimeter ruler' notepad' and pen or pencil' and when you find a frame that looks good and that your child likes' measure the frame based on our website instructions. Then shop online on our website for frames that have dimensions close to those. Good features for kids' comfort are spring hinges' adjustable temple arms' acetate sleeves on the temple tips' and adjustable silicone nose pads. If your kids have any metal allergies' get them a hypoallergenic stainless steel or acetate frame.
What is included in the price of the glasses?
You get the glasses frame' the lenses with anti-scratch coating' full UV protection' a protective eyeglass case' and a microfiber cleaning cloth.
Why get Trivex or Polycarbonate lenses?
While standard plastic lenses have excellent optical qualities and are safe for general wear' Zenni and most optical retailers highly recommend that children under the age of 18 wear glasses made with high impact-resistant materials including polycarbonate and Trivex. These materials improve safety and reduce the likelihood of lenses shattering during wear. This is especially important if your kids wear glasses when playing sports' or if they are generally rough on their glasses.
In addition to being used in your child's eyewear' polycarbonate plastics are also used for safety lenses on construction sites' astronaut helmets' and space shuttle windshields. Trivex was developed with comparable impact resistance to polycarbonate' but is lighter and offers better optical clarity. In addition to their excellent safety profiles' both offer 100% UV protection against the sun's harmful rays.
How do I order glasses online that will fit my kid well and look good on their face?
This is one of the most important factors to ensure your kids will wear their glasses. If they help pick out a cool pair of glasses that fit them well and look good on their face' they will be much more inclined to wear the glasses. We have many tools on our website to help you and your kids find the right fit and look for their glasses. One of the most popular is Frame Fit®. If you upload a picture of your kid to Frame Fit®' you can virtually try the glasses on their face to see how they look. Then share the photo on Facebook to get feedback. However' Frame Fit® is only one part of the equation. You'll also want to measure glasses your kids have now that fit them well and look good on their face' so you can shop for glasses with similar dimensions. This infographic shows how to measure a pair of glasses.
And here's an infographic that describes face and glasses shapes' and explains which glasses shapes go with which face shapes: Good luck!
How do I order glasses online that will fit my kid well and look good on their face?
Playing outdoors is essential for your kids' mental and physical development' but it also means they're exposed to UV radiation from sunlight. Protecting your children's eyes from UV-A and UV-B rays is just as important as using sunscreen. In fact' the area around the eyelids is a commonly skipped area of the face when applying sunscreen and one of the most common sites for skin cancer. Because children have more optically clear crystalline lenses than adults' their eyes are even more sensitive to UV damage than yours. Accumulated damage from UV radiation can lead to a host of eye conditions in adulthood' such as cataracts' macular degeneration' and neoplasms on the front surface of the eyes called pinguecula and pterygia.
Here's the good news: even wearing a pair of clear lenses made with the recommended polycarbonate or Trivex lenses can give your kids 100% protection from UV-A and UV-B. Many of our Zenni parents choose the photochromic option so that' in addition to full UV coverage' their kids benefit from more comfortable vision in tinted lenses when they move outdoors for their daily doses of sunshine.
My children keep breaking their glasses. How can I prevent this?
It's a fact of life that kids' glasses will break. However' we advocate the "on the face or in the case" rule: keep the glasses in the case when they're not on your (or your kid's) face. If your child is the type who will treat their glasses with care' and is interested in tips to care for their glasses' you are in luck. Make sure they know to put on and remove the glasses with both hands so the frame doesn't get bent out of shape' clean the lenses with the microfiber cloth before putting on the glasses' and never put the glasses down with the lenses resting against any surface other than the microfiber cloth. This will help keep the glasses safe' but be resigned to kids treating glasses roughly. Therefore' have two or three backup pairs ready to go if your child breaks their glasses. Fortunately' Zenni's low prices makes it easy and affordable to do this.
What is PD? How do I get it?
Pupillary distance (PD) is the measurement between the pupils. The PD is needed to determine where the optical center of the lenses on your child's glasses will be so they can see clearly. If you do not have your child's PD from their eye doctor, you can measure it using our guide.
Your child's PD will change as they grow, so it's best to measure it again whenever they have a growth spurt or need new glasses.
For more information on measuring Pupillary Distance please refer to our How to Video: How to Measure Your PD (Pupillary Distance)

Toys, Apparel, And More...
Kuso has made a big splash on the vinyl scene with their unique collectibles and partnerships with up and coming artists. Theyre also the creators of one of my favorite vinyl series, the Thundercraps (read my review HERE). I was happy to run into these guys at WonderCon this year and checked out the cool stuff they had on display. Tucked into a modest booth was a nice variety of t-shirts and hats from the apparel arm of Kuso alongside their usual assortment of stickers and other fun items. Notable additions were a Thundercraps t-shirt, WonderCon exclusive Luckitty Pon Gold Edition, Marvel and DC custom Fahrenheit figures by Fuller Designs/Rotobox, and very limited WonderCon exclusive Chrome and Gold Edition Mictlan figures by Jesse Hernandez.

Is the BPCC OTA Program Accredited? Why is that important?
Are OTAs required to sit for a licensure/certification examination?
I live outside the Shreveport-Bossier City area. May I still apply to your Program?
What kind of salaries do OTAs make?
I dont currently live in the Shreveport-Bossier City area. Would I have to move to Bossier City to complete this degree?
I already have a degree (Associate/Bachelor's/Master's). Am I ready for application to the OTA program?
What factors are considered in the selection process for the OTA program?
How many students do you accept each year into the OTA Program?
What do I do if I am not selected for the OTA clinical program?

What is the difference between an OT and an OTA?
Can becoming an OTA help me to eventually become an Occupational Therapist?
I want to pursue this degree. What do I need to do first?
The BPCC Occupational Therapy Assistant program is accredited by the Accreditation Council for Occupational Therapy Education (ACOTE) of the American Occupational Therapy Association (AOTA), The certifying agency is the National Board for Certification in Occupational Therapy, Inc. After successful completion of the NBCOT exam, the individual will be a Certified Occupational Therapy Assistant (COTA). Most states require licensure in order to practice; however, state licenses are usually based on the results of the NBCOT Certification Examination. It is important to know your schools accreditation status because students must graduate from an ACOTE-accredited program to be eligible to sit for the NBCOT certification examination.
After completion of the OTA program, graduates are required to take and pass the National Board for Certification in Occupational Therapy Examination to be eligible to apply for a license to practice as an OTA in the state of Louisiana.
Absolutely. While the majority of our applicants and clinical students live and plan to work in this area, we encourage and are in fact actively recruiting students from other regions of the state. Job availability and salaries continue to grow in those communities not served by a local OT or OTA program and we receive frequent calls from rural hospitals and clinics seeking OTA graduates. If you are from out of town and are interested in pursuing an OTA degree from BPCC you are encouraged to contact an OTA advisor for additional information and to request a personalized transcript review.
The job market and salaries in the Shreveport-Bossier City area are very good (starting salaries range from $35,000 to $45,000 per year). The available jobs and salary ranges in more "rural" areas outside Shreveport-Bossier City tend to be even higher.
More information on the job descriptions, job outlook and salaries for OTAs can be found on the website for the Bureau of Labor Statistics website.
The majority of the pre-OTA curriculum (qualification courses) for this Program may be completed at any accredited 4-year university or community college (near your home). In addition, the scheduled clinical practice experiences/fieldwork that occur during the program component (final year) (each 8 weeks in length) may be scheduled in hospitals/OT clinics in or near your hometown. Your required time in Bossier would include:
While it is likely that within your degree you have taken some or even most of the pre-requisite course requirements, there is a strong possibility that you may be lacking one or more of the required classes. You should request that an OTA advisor review your transcript and help you identify what may be missing. Additionally, if a significant amount of time has passed since the completion of your degree, your advisor may recommend re-taking or auditing particular courses so that your knowledge in that content is current.
The selection process for the OTA professional program is based 50% on academic criteria and 50% on non-academic criteria. Those factors include:
Academic Factors
Non-academic Factors
We accept a maximum of 20 students per year into the OTA Program.
We encourage any applicant not selected for the OTA program to meet with an OTA advisor to review strengths/weaknesses of their application packet. Options for students not selected include (a) pursuing another allied health program at BPCC (b) working on improving an application score with re-application to the OTA program the following year (c) working toward completion of a Bachelor's Degree in a related field or (d) investigating OTA Program application at another institution.
The pre-OTA component (qualification courses) of the program has only those costs associated with regular tuition per credit hour which is the same for all BPCC students. Once accepted into the OTA program there are additional costs related to clinical fees, uniforms, immunizations, etc.
You can find out about resources available through BPCC at the Financial Aid Scholarship page, and resources available through the American Occupational Therapy Association.

In order to become an Occupational Therapist, a student must complete a graduate school level program in Occupational Therapy. In Louisiana, there are 2 institutions which offer that degree program – LSU Health Sciences Center in Shreveport and LSU Health Sciences Center in New Orleans. While completing an Associate Degree in OTA is not the most typical "route" to take in pursuing a degree in Occupational Therapy, it is one option.
Acceptance into the OT Programs in Louisiana is on a selective/competitive basis. In order to apply for admission to those programs, you must first obtain a Baccalaureate Degree. Additionally, that B.S. degree must include all of the pre-requisite (pre-OT) courses required by the respective programs. For a more complete description of the pre-requisite requirements and application/selection process utilized by those programs we encourage you to review the website of the LSUHSC OT Program in Shreveport and contact those faculty advisors/instructors with questions.
Typically, students wishing to become an Occupational Therapist pursue a 4-yr. B.S. degree and apply for admission to an OT Program. Obtaining an Associate Degree in OTA first is neither necessary nor common. If interested in this option, please contact an OTA advisor.
Please be aware that the OTA Program at Bossier Parish Community College and the OT Program at LSUHSC are in no way linked or affiliated. There is no "shortcut" toward achieving a degree in Occupational Therapy provided by first becoming an OT Assistant. Additionally, please be aware that graduates of the BPCC OTA Program are not given preference in the selection process for the LSUHSC OT Program. Becoming an OTA while en-route to becoming an OT offers primarily the advantage of providing the student earlier opportunities for work experience and income earning in the field of occupational therapy.

Chris Lau, Kapitall: The Lumia smartphone, already powered by Windows, is now owned by Microsoft. And they're making it cheaper. Demand for what is now Microsoft's (MSFT) Windows-powered premium Lumia smartphone may rise in the near future, thanks to a price cut and an unmatched camera. This might also help Microsoft shares, which have pushed into the $30-36 range since July. Microsoft will be hoping sales increase before it reports earnings on October 14. Nokia (NOK), which sold its devices unit to Microsoft, could also benefit from the positive strength in sales of Lumia. Price cut A price cut is likely to boost customer interest in Lumia smartphones. Microsoft announced that it lowered the price of the Lumia 1020 to $199, down from $299 on a 2-year contract with AT&T (T). Microsoft is even throwing in a Nokia camera grip, which it says is worth $79. [Read more from Kapitall: Twitter IPO 5 Hot Stocks to Watch Instead] AT&T shares have been mostly flat in the last six months, compared to Microsoft and Nokia. AT&T offers a $1.80 per share dividend, which is a yield of 5.24%. Click on the interactive charts below to see data over time. Sourced from Zacks Investment Research. Great features At a lower price point, consumers previously not interested in the Lumia 1020 might consider the phone's feature set. The 1020 has a better backside illumination sensor, optical stabilization, six lens elements, and a 1280×720 screen. Competition No other smartphone maker compares to the Lumia 1020's camera, but Sony (SNE) is close. The conglomerate and maker of Android smartphones developed a QX10/QX100, which supports an attachable lens-style camera. Sony shares are outperforming Microsoft over a one year period. This can be partly attributed to shareholder activism, calling for the company to split its entertainment unit to raise the value of its shares:

Will California's Governor Outlaw Police From Searching Mobile Phones Without A Warrant?
from the what-4th-amendment? dept
But there's a problem: Governor Jerry Brown hasn't signed it yet.
Despite petitions and a variety of editorials urging him to sign it, he's still sitting on it (he has until October 9th). Wired is reporting a rumor that Brown has agreed to veto the legislation in an effort to please the "law enforcement lobby."
As the Wired article notes, the law itself is already pretty weak, allowing law enforcement to ignore the warrant requirement under vaguely defined emergency circumstances. It also doesn't require any official reporting of such uses where the warrant requirement is ignored, meaning that such an exception might be abused. But it certainly takes things a big step in the right direction concerning an individual's right to privacy. Hopefully Governor Brown recognizes this and signs the bill.

Here are the quotes on the issue via NHL.com
Colin Campbell:
"We went around the room and got every manager's opinion on where we're at with that, I led the discussion saying we've played over 8,000 games since we took the red line out and this is the first time we've had a particular incident like this. We saw it in the World Junior [championship] one time, but the managers for the most part felt it is something we have to watch, work on and talk about it more in March. It's not the type of hockey you want to throw at your fans very often."
GM Steve Yzerman:
"It was good. We got everybody's opinions on things, and it was good. I think the general consensus is just monitor the game and the way it is played, and potentially if there are problems going forward that need to be adjusted, at the appropriate time there will be."
"It hasn't happened very often," Yzerman said of the controversial stalemate. "I think the way the game is played -- I think virtually every team in the League plays pretty similar, and I think it is a byproduct of the way the rules are now. Coaches figure out ways to play and ways to be successful with the personnel they have. If incidents occur like that more regularly, then obviously we'd have to look at altering the rules once again. Tampa Bay plays virtually the same way that every team in the League does."
Even if there is a problem going forwards, it's going to be a tough issue to tackle. A rule might have to be implemented, but then do you find fault with the team in possession with the puck or the team defending?no comments
In this episode we learn:
-She is from itty bitty Plant City, FL. FYI Plant City is known as the winter strawberry capital of the world. THE WORLD people. Also has a population of 34,721 as of the 2010 census
-She recently graduated from the U of South Florida with a degree in Culture in Media Communications. Yes this really is a degree, I looked it up. It even has cute assistant professors like this (for the ladies). Cute, smart and Canadian. I see why she got her degree in this concentration.
-She loves hockey because it is a highly technical game but it's also very fun to watch. Agree on this statement
-She feels that we have the best fans in the entire world. Good company line there.
-Why are we the best fans? Because we are super enthusiastic and already ready to be there on game day. Woo!
I have that end shot where she pulls the hair out of her face and then attempts to sex the camera. Thanks Megan.
But the real question that begs to be answered from this video is: what is she trying to do with her tongue at the end there?
Did she come up with doing that for her video on her own? no comments

Record: Lightning (8-6-2) Jets (5-9-3)
Previous games: October 29 - Lightning 1-0
Game time: 8:30pm EDT on SUN (HD)The Lightning have won 12 straight against the Jets/Thrashers team. Currently we have the longest active win streak by a team against an opponent going and there's no reason this streak has to end tonight. The Jets have also just lost to the worst team in the league this past weekend (losing 2-1 to Columbus), and for all intents and purposes, they have lost their last 5 straight games. So we've established that this team sucks and we get to play them tonight.

The Lightning only played one game this weekend and were dismal through the majority of the 60 minutes of play. The Blues scored a goal a period with 24 shot and won the game 3-0. The three Blues goals came from newly acquired Kris Russell, Kevin Shattenkirk and TJ Oshie.
The last goal was particularly brutal as it was 1. a shorthanded goal and 2. looked like it all happened in slow motion. There was a miscue behind the net between Stamkos and Garon, and when Garon went to play the puck, he gave it away to Backes who fed it to Oshie who had a empty net to put it in.
That's not to say this was all Garon's fault, as none of the Lightning's top players looked like top players. The Lightning also only managed 19 shots on net. Yeah I realize that we were playing a team coached by Hitchcock, but still, 19 shots?
What this week looks like:
The Lightning are up in Winnipeg for tomorrows game against the Jets before returning home for a game Thursday against the Pens and a Saturday game against the Devils.
NHL All-Star Voting
If you are into it, the NHL All-Star fan balloting starts tomorrow (Monday) on NHL.com/vote . Stamkos, St. Louis and Lecavalier as expected have been named to the All-Star ballot. The All-Star game is January 28 and 29th in Ottawa.
And in case you haven't seen it yet, here is a video of Milan Lucic running over Ryan Miller
There was no response for the hit by the Sabres for the rest of the game.
But Miller did deliver some gold quotes about the hit (via John Vogl of the Buffalo News):
I'm not really going to get into that," Miller said in TD Garden. "I just stuck around because I wanted to say what a piece of [feces] I think Lucic is. Fifty pounds on me, and he runs me like that? It's unbelievable. Everyone in this city see him as a big, tough, solid player. I respected him for how hard he plays. That was gutless. Gutless. Piece of [feces]."
And now Miller is out with a concussion.
This is the new topic 1-3-1 topic for the week. no comments
The game was weird. Like when you are on an awkward date and you both want the date to just end already. In the end, it was a great end, but I could have done without the 70 or so 1-3-1 jokes I saw on my twitter. It's not funny after the first 5, seriously.
Via Puck Daddy, here is the video of the Flyers and their 'stall tactic':
I thought it was creative. Gotta give Laviolette credit for being creative. I remember the Flyers trying something similar to move the puck through the neutral zone during the last meeting of the season last year. Didn't have as much of holding time by Pronger, but similar idea.
And here is the expected Downie vs. Flyer fight we expected. Except it wasn't against the Flyer I had expected it to be against (Rinaldo).

Holy size mismatch. Coburn has 6 inches on Downie. Almost feel bad for Downie there.
And here is how the game ended:
Lost in this mess will be effort that Dominic Moore made to make this goal happen. Connolly got the credit, but that was all Moore.

There was a reason I was waiting for this game all week and this game did not disappoint. It had some highs. Some lows. A Stamkos hat trick. A Carcillo breakaway goal. Some passes from St. Louis to Lecavalier a la 2004...and in the end the game didn't go to a shootout.
What a game.
The first period was a wash. Chicago had the edge in shots with 15 to the Lightning's 8, but it ended scoreless.
The second period is where everything happened.
Stamkos starts off the scoring 15 seconds into the game. Patrick Sharp answers back quickly just under a minute later on the PP. Yeah not really sure what Adam Hall was doing while Sharp scored there, but whatever, tie game.
Brett Connolly gets his second of the season after first stopping the puck with his skate while literally inside of the net, and then puts it past the goal line. Lightning up 2-1.
And here is your WTF minute of the night. Marian Hossa is left unattended and wrists a shot past Roloson. The Lightning hand out turnovers to the Hawks like it's still Halloween and they are free candy. But the minute is not even over.

Enemy Blog: Head over to Blackhawks Down Low for your opposition blog coverage
Record: Lightning (5-5-2) Blackhawks (8-2-2)
Previous games: None
Game time: 7:30pm EDT on SUN (HD), NHLN-USI've been looking forwards to this game all week. All freaking week kids. That Carolina game was like a minor bump in the road to get to here. Last year we won both of the games we played against Chicago, one by a shootout and the other with a shutout. This year we only play the Hawks once this year.
Chicago just played last night against the Panthers and won in a shootout. They are currently 2nd in the West and have played well recently. They are without Duncan Keith due to some hand injury which will be good for the Lightning.
In goal we have Roloson, which may or may not be a good thing depending on which Roloson decides to show up to the game tonight. For the sake of my hockey watching tonight instead of going out, I'm hoping we get the Roloson of last season, but who knows these days.
If you need something to do between here and the game, hop over to Lightning Strikes to find out what Brett Connolly bought with his first paycheck.
Go bolts
Line-up Notes:
- Roloson will get the start in goal
- Pyatt and Ritola keep playing musical chairs, Pyatt in and Ritola is out

CalTrans is closing Highway 162 about 1.5 miles east of Highway 101 for 24 hours beginning at 7 p.m. tonight. The closure is to allow further work on the roadway in the area that washed out December 21.
The extended closure is needed to "lengthen the culvert installed during initial emergency repairs," according to CalTrans spokesman Phil Frisbie.
Motorists are encouraged to limit travel to and from Covelo during this period. The Laytonville-Dos Rios Road is the only detour available. It is a one-lane dirt road and is not suitable for trucks.
Following the 24-hour closure of Highway 162 CalTrans will be working during the upcoming weeks to widen the highway to accommodate two-way traffic. Final repairs are not expected until summer.
The road closed on an emergency basis December 21, prompting around-the-clock efforts by CalTrans to reopen it on December 24, in time for Christmas travel. It has been limited to one way at a time travel in the washed out area since reopening.

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. - The young father-to-be could never predict he would be leaving South Florida tonight without the love of his life, without his son due to be born in a matter of weeks, without any hope of the life he was so looking forward to living.
I listened to Michael DeMella's pastor talk about that in a phone conversation today, about Alanna DeMella's sudden and heartbreaking death, crushed by the sedan that crashed through the little poolside cabana buildilng at the Riverside Hotel. The pastor talked about the chain of events leading up to their visit to Fort Lauderdale from their home near Boston, and it got me thinking about fate, and how the smallest of decisions can alter its course.
The DeMellas had decided to enter an essay contest at their church for an all-expenses-paid trip to Fort Lauderdale, to attend a marriage conference held last weekend for people of faith. The theme of that essay entry was "how the trip would bless our marriage". The pastor said the DeMella's entry was the slam-dunk winner. Two other couples won trips, too.
The marriage retreat and getaway ended Sunday. The DeMellas decided to extend their vacation one more day, and move from the hotel near the weekend retreat to the downtown Fort Lauderdale Riverside Hotel.
That's where they spent Sunday morning sunning and chatting by the pool, according to other pool-goers, a happy, in-love, bonded couple. So caring, they say, Michael DeMella encouraged his pregnant wife to use the bathroom before they left the pool.
That was just before 1:30 Sunday afternoon.
What if they never entered that essay contest? What if their essay wasn't chosen as the best?
What if they departed on schedule instead of deciding to stay extra day? What if they stayed the extra night in the same hotel instead of moving to Riverside? What if they stayed at the pool a bit longer? What if they left without that last trip to the bathroom?
A change in any one of those decisions along the way would most certainly have put Alanna DeMella somewhere other than in that bathroom just before 1:30 Sunday afternoon. That is haunting Michael DeMella, according to his pastor.
Every decision points in a direction. Do you believe in fate?

I just left early from a 3-day Vipassana sitting. I sat for 2 days, and given that it has been 3 years since my initial 10-day sit, I was doing quite well, except that my mind was distracted by an upcoming move to another city, and I also had in my mind that I wanted to celebrate my birthday with my friends on saturday night (my birthday being on sunday, the end of the course). I convinced myself that 3 days wasn't enough anyway and that it wasn't doing much for me (which is a complete fabrication). Essentially, I let my desire to play take over and I left. With 1 more day to go. Once on the road I realized my mistake, and now I feel completely depressed and angry at myself for not finishing the course (a common theme in my life is getting distracted by fun, to a point where it's out of balance). I don't know what to turn to, so I thought i would see if anybody here has any advise or direction for any literature, videos, etc. to help calm myself down.
Many thanks,

Ilya Kovalchuk always intimated that he'd think about staying in the KHL, rather than return to the New Jersey Devils when the NHL lockout ended, and that appears to be coming to pass.
The part where Kovalchuk thinks about it, at least—not the part where he actually follows through.
NHL CBA details | NHL schedule: 48 games likely
With scores of NHL players either already back or in transit from their European teams, Kovalchuk is still with SKA St. Petersburg. and the rumors are starting to fly. That's not a surprise—there's always KHL/NHL-related stuff out there, for a variety of reasons—but TSN.ca's Bob McKenzie, as credible an NHL reporter as any, said on Twitter that "many are hearing (Kovalchuk) might not" leave his home country.
McKenzie couldn't confirm anything, and the Devils told him they "haven't heard (Kovalchuk) isn't coming back." That's similar to something Devils GM Lou Lamoriello told the Bergen Record's Tom Gulitti on Monday.
"No official word at this time," league officials said when contacted by ESPN's Craig Custance.
With CBA ratification on its way and a season that is overwhelmingly likely to begin on Jan. 19, Kovalchuk played against Ak Bars Kazan on Tuesday, and sources close to SKA told Sovetsky Sport that the 29-year-old sniper, who was fifth in the league in scoring last season, could indeed opt to stick with them.
Kovalchuk's own stated reasoning: "I will need to read the new (collective bargaining) agreement" before making a decision, he told Sport-Express' Slava Malamud.
Regardless of Kovalchuk's comments, and the KHL's longstanding attempts to poach NHL talent of various caliber, that would be a stunner. The NHL-KHL so-called memorandum of understanding, while not legally binding, is in place to stop the leagues from poaching players on existing contracts. If Kovalchuk, his team and the KHL itself attempt to buck that, they'd have a bit of a situation on their hands—specifically, regarding NHL participation in the 2014 Olympics, which are being held in Russia. How exactly to approach those Games wasn't decided during labor negotiations, and while both the NHL and NHLPA have much to gain from participating, all bets would be off if a player like Kovalchuk crossed over.
Plus, according to the New York Post, Russian president Vladimir Putin guaranteed Kovalchuk, Alex Ovechkin, Evgeni Malkin and Pavel Datysuk "an immense" amount of money if they were to stay in the KHL for the entire season, regardless of whether the NHL lockout was resolved. The four players, according to the Post, were talked out of it by the union. Now, it's only Kovalchuk who could wind up biting.
Coincidentally, contracts like the one Kovalchuk signed with New Jersey in 2010 (15 years, $100 million) were a major sticking point in CBA negotiations. The league, specifically, wanted to make them impossible and succeeded.
Now, contracts are limited to seven years, though players sticking with their previous teams can sign for eight. A players' salary may not dip more than 35 percent year-to-year, nor can it drop a total of 50 percent below whatever it is at its highest point. Compare that to Kovalchuk's contract, which runs as high as $11.8 million in some years and as low as $1 million in three others to artificially drive down its salary cap value. Ironically enough, he wouldn't collect any of that playing for SKA—he'd have to live off the multimillion-dollar deal he has there.
As for his teammates, they were back at practice in Newark, N.J.
"I expect him here," defenseman Bryce Salvador, one of the team's NHLPA player representatives, told the AP. "Like I said, I don't know, until you officially talk to him or hear. I think now with the KHL, it's kind of bad timing there. They are going into their All-Star Game and stuff like that, so I think that's where you're hearing all that stuff from."
Defenseman Mark Fayne smiled sheepishly when asked about Kovalchuk. "I think it's a little better with him here," he said.
Defenseman Andy Greene, who was driven to practice by Fayne, thinks things will play out just fine as the club seeks its sixth conference title.
"Obviously, we want him here," Greene said. "He is a big part of the team. I don't know. It's all speculation."
Really, though, Kovalchuk's absence is likely a case of attempting to prove a point. That's not the case with Islanders defenseman Lubomir Visnovsky.
Visnovsky, who has yet to play a game on Long Island and initially tried to block the trade that landed him there, has said he'll stay with HC Slovan Bratislova for "family and personal reasons."
Not so fast, NHL deputy commissioner Bill Daly said in an email to Newsday's Arthur Staple.
"We have an agreement with the KHL that would preclude Mr. Visnovsky from continuing to play in the KHL once the lockout is officially lifted," Daly said. "I assume that agreement will be respected."

Farfar is behind a new weird initiative launched by Nokia to promote its new N82 model. The concept is based on "position art", which consists in creating works of art, by physically walking them, and then transferring it on to a satellite image. Basically it's an art form that tracks your position using GPS.
At www.theworldismycanvas.com visitors can meet Stavros, the self-proclaimed Position Art "Genius" who uses the Nokia N82 Sports Tracker application as his tool while he walks around anywhere in the world to "draw" his motif.
Last Friday, on the website Nokia has broadcasted a live art performance by Stavros, who has been walking around Rome for the whole day creating his "greatest work of art ever".

OROVILLE >> After long discussions Tuesday night, the Oroville City Council gave STREAM Charter School a partial fee waiver to build a playground at the school's new facility and chose not to accept a land gift on Oro Dam Boulevard.
The council also agreed to name the main parking lot on Montgomery Street in honor of longtime community volunteer and participant Elizabeth "Mike" Isch, who has retired and is moving to Southern California.
The Council had been asked to take over a .09-acre patch of land on the west side of Oro Dam Boulevard and north of Bridge Street.
Community Development Director Don Rust said the owner went to the city staff a year ago and asked the city to take over the land.
The owners live in Southern California and wanted to eliminate their responsibilities for the parcel.
Rust said he told them it would not be a good property for the city. He said if the council did accept the parcel, the city would be responsible for maintaining it and would lose the property tax on it.
The council's responses were mixed. Mayor Linda Dahlmeier said it would make a good dog park.
Councilor David Pittman agreed it would be "a maintenance headache," but suggested Rust contact a landscaping group at Butte College to come up with an idea for the land.
Councilor J.R. Simpson said he didn't think they should take it over, and Councilor Gordon Andoe said a drainage ditch running through it would be a problem.
Andoe also said he didn't see it conducive to being a dog park.
"My feeling is the property owners should pay the taxes on it and let the county have it," he said.
The council voted 6-0 to decline the offer. Councilor Jack Berry was absent.
The next item on the agenda was a request by STREAM Charter School officials to waive the city's use-permit fee. The school opens Tuesday at leased space in the Feather River Village complex on Oro Dam Boulevard.
STREAM directors sought a permit in order to build a gate and fence at the south end of the property for a playground. The fee would have been $2,822 plus $169.32 for a non-refundable technology cost recovery fee.
Rust gave the councilors two options: deny the waiver and require the full cost, or deny the waiver and allow the school to pay the full cost in payments.
Dahlmeier supported the waiver, noting STREAM is a nonprofit organization and the community should do anything it can to support the schools..
"The bigger picture is it is a youth permit for children...," she said.
She also acknowledged the school had cleaned up the property, which contained a lot of "hemp, trash and vagrancies."
Vice mayor Thil Wilcox was concerned about where STREAM gets its funding and about other groups who have been denied fee waivers.
"Am I against what you're doing? No, I'm not," Wilcox told STREAM cofounder Toby Erickson. "But we're denying employees and different groups their requests...There will be some kind of backlash no matter."
Andoe said he sees it as an improvement of the area.
Eventually, the council approved 5-1 a motion for the school to pay $1,500 in installment payments of $150 a month for 10 months.
In other business, the Downtown Business Association had requested Parking Lot A, the big, lot on Montgomery Street, be renamed the Elizabeth "Mike Isch Parking Lot." There are several lots in the city known only by a letter designation.
Isch served the community in various capacities and was given the Samuel J. Norris Award for Excellence in 2007. Her other many contributions to the community included serving on the Salmon Festival committee and as a longtime member of the Oroville Economic Development Corporation.
The council's approval was unanimous.

Familia optioned to clear room for Laffey
NEW YORK -- Needing to clear roster space for Sunday's starting pitcher, Aaron Laffey, the Mets optioned reliever Jeurys Familia to Triple-A Las Vegas. To make room for Laffey on the 40-man roster, the Mets also transferred Johan Santana from the 15- to the 60-day disabled list.
Familia, 23, appeared in just one game for the Mets, recording one out and allowing one run on a hit and a walk. Though there has been considerable debate in recent years over Familia's ultimate future, he will pitch out of the bullpen at Las Vegas.
Laffey will start Sunday against the Marlins and remain in the rotation for as long as he pitches well.
The transfer of Santana was merely procedural; he underwent season-ending shoulder surgery earlier this week.

MOTORISTS are being warned to expect gale force winds tonight and tomorrow but should not call 999 other than with a genuine emergency.
Forecasts suggest winds of up to 60mph will hit parts of Essex from 11pm tonight through to 10am tomorrow.
Essex Police has also warned of potential fallen trees and damage to buildings and power lines.
Chief Superintendent Trevor Roe, of Essex Police, said: "Fortunately the worst weather is likely to be later into the evening and night after the rush hour.
"But we would advise people not to travel unless absolutely necessary until the winds have lessened and to take appropriate steps to secure their homes and property against the weather.
"There is a potential for trees and power lines to come down as a result of the wind and for flying debris to be a danger at the peak of the storm.
"If possible, people should stay inside until it has passed.
"If someone is in a situation where life is threatened or there is a genuine emergency then people should call 999 but to allow police to deal with the most vital calls we would ask members of the public to call 101 in less extreme circumstances."
He also urged road problems to be reported to Essex County Council on 0845 603 7631.
Fallen trees should be reported on 0845 606 7624.
Ch Supt Roe also urged drivers to take care using roads affected by flooding or blocked by debris.

To Eliminate/Hold Off the Pacers
Pacers can still win 39 games.
*2 - New York (38 wins) still playing
8 - Charlotte
9 - Millwaukee
Draft position "race"
Pacers can lose 47 max
Pacers can finish no higher than 8th in the lottery.
Locked "ahead" of Pacers
(Pacers win or opponent loss reduces this number)
*1 - Clips - still playing
2 - Fawns *1 game due to tiebreak
3 - Kitties *actually 2 games for playoff elimination due to tiebreak
*4 - Warriors - still playing
BTW, by making the playoffs the Pacers will not only move behind the team's listed here in the "lottery" magic numbers, but also the not mentioned Rockets, Suns and Jazz.
So by not losing out to Charlotte the Pacers go from drafting maybe 10th (say they do worse than Warriors) to drafting 15th.
It would look something like...
8 Clips
9 Bucks
10 Pacers
11 Warriors
12 Jazz
13 Suns
14 Rockets
15 Bobcats
Are those 5 players worth a massive crash to end the season and miss the playoffs in this draft year? It's probably costing them a Morris brother, Jimmer, Kemba...
Faried, Thompkins, maybe T Jones still on the board. Skeen might be on the board for the round 2 pick. You can get some PF help or go for the talent of Jones at SF.

Enjoying the fall has became somewhat of an obsession. I posted 27 photos of fantabulous fall leaves on Facebook, and the dashboard of my car is partially covered with dying foliage.
The colors of deep plum and burnt orange are easier to love because the leaves lingered longer than in recent memory.
And why not languish in the moment? We'll soon be staring at bare sticks and gray sky — especially after this current storm.
My friend Elizabeth called to ask if she should put bulbs in the ground. This was last weekend when the fat, gray rainclouds were still lurking over the Pacific Ocean.
Elizabeth planned to plant tulips, and I gave her the bad news that tulips tend to be a one-shot deal.
"You mean they won't come back next year?" she asked, regretting her big-box nursery purchase.
"Not in this area," I said with wisdom that comes from knowing nothing but having a job that allows me to ask questions.
"But that's OK because you'll really enjoy the flowers in the spring," I said.
We had a brief, yet poignant, conversation about things that are meant to last, and things to be enjoyed in the moment.
Somehow dark chocolate covered cookies from Trader Joe's were mentioned.
When loving plants means letting go
While it's easy for me to give Elizabeth preemptive consolation, I personally don't let things go so easily.
I planted my tulips in pots last year, dug them up and put them in the crisper drawer in late August.
But I didn't share that information with Elizabeth until I see whether my efforts were a waste of time.
Yet, some plants we need right now to keep our homes colorful are destined for a donation to the Dumpster.
Poinsettias, as an example, are cheery holiday plants that complement all those Christmas colors. But if you think you're going to keep the plant around through the spring, summer and fall, you have more patience than the rest of us.
But buy them anyway, knowing you'll be vacuuming up the leaves with the Christmas tree pine needles.
Ditto for orchids. Orchids make great gifts because the blooms last much longer than cut flowers. But when most people try to keep the plants alive, they end up with a barren pot on their desk.
Zygo cactus can be enjoyed right now. I just saw some lovely plants in bloom at SaveMart. Also known as Christmas cactus, the plant on my desk hasn't bloomed again after four years.
Not my fault.
Twice now I've also received bromeliads, a plant with strap-like leaves and a triumphant flower stalk that arises from the center. The flower turns brown, and later so does the rest of the plant. But it's a fun ride while it lasts.

Keep kids learning
Worried your kid forgets everything they've learnt when not at school? Here's how to keep their brain sharp. more
Unless you develop Obstetric cholestasis during pregnancy, chances are you will never know hear about this condition. Obstetric cholestasis - also known as cholestasis of pregnancy, OC, intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy, and ICP - is a rare condition that occurs in pregnancy and affects both the liver and the flow of bile from that organ.
The liver ordinarily produces bile that flows into the intestine and assists in the digestion of food, but for women suffering from Obstetric cholestasis the flow of bile is hindered due to pregnancy hormones so that the bile acid builds up and causes toxins to enter the blood system.
Once you have been diagnosed with Obstetric cholestasis, you have a 60-80% chance of being affected by OC in future pregnancies - the symptoms associated with Obstetric cholestasis can also become more pronounced with each pregnancy.
Diagnosis of Obstetric cholestasis is usually a diagnosis of exclusion - it is only diagnosed when all other possible conditions have been eliminated, although specific blood tests can identify liver function problems. But it is important that the condition is identified as it can have serious health implications for baby and mother.

We believe the California Department of Public Health (CDPH) web site satisfies all Priority 1, 2, and 3 guidelines, for "AAA" compliance of the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C), Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 1.0. In addition, the CDPH web site satisfies Section 508, Subpart B, Subsection 1194.22, Guidelines A-P of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 as revised in 1998. The State of California is strongly committed to improved accessibility for all Californians.
The State of California accepts no responsibility for the content or accessibility of the external websites or external documents linked to on this website.
As directed by Executive Order D-17-00 issued on September 8, 2000, a comprehensive eGovernment initiative was launched that requires every agency and department to adhere to technical standards for accessible Web design and compatibility. The Accessibility Guide enables the State to utilize the best tools and design available to ensure that the content of the new CDPH web site can be reached by the widest possible audience regardless of disability, limitations of computer equipment or use of alternate Internet access devices.
In addition, State accessibility guidelines enable agencies to meet State and Federal statutory requirements prohibiting discrimination against people with disabilities in the design of both Internet and Intranet web sites. For example, California Government Code Section 11135 et seq. prohibits discrimination by entities receiving funding from the State of California.
Likewise, Federal requirements mandating access for persons with disabilities were first imposed on State recipients of Federal funding by the Rehabilitation Act of 1973. Today there are numerous Federal statutes and regulations extending civil rights protections to persons with disabilities, including the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (ADA), as well as the 1998 Amendments to the Rehabilitation Act, where specific technical requirements for accessible web design have been published by the U.S. Access Board. This is important since Title II of the ADA recognizes the importance of communication and the necessity of the State of California to take appropriate steps to ensure that communications with persons with disabilities are as effective as communications with others.
Between 17% and 19% of United States citizens have some level of disability. In fact, about l out of 5 Americans have some form of disability and 1 in 10 have a severe disability. These 1997 statistics by the U.S. Census Bureau also report that with the population aging and the likelihood that disabilities can increase with age, the growth in the number of people with disabilities is expected to accelerate in the coming decades. See Census Brief (pdf), December 1997.

Akron -- A Cleveland man was sentenced Jan. 31 to two years of community control, according to a spokesperson for the Summit County prosecutor, after he admitted growing marijuana in the Cuyahoga Valley National Park.
David A. Weir, 50, was sentenced in Summit County Court of Common Pleas by Judge Alison McCarty after he changed his plea last December, said April Wiesner, director of communications for Prosecutor Sherri Bevan Walsh.
Weir pleaded guilty Dec. 6 to illegal cultivation of marijuana, a third-degree felony, according to court records. Visiting Judge Patricia A. Cosgrove found him guilty of that charge and dismissed a charge of possession of marijuana, also a third-degree felony. Both charges were in the indictment filed against Weir Oct. 10, court records show.
Cuyahoga Falls Police narcotics officers and National Park Service rangers arrested Weir Aug. 25 after more than 20 marijuana plants with an irrigation system were found by park rangers near Bath and Riverview roads. He was taken into custody near the growing operation.
Police estimate the marijuana had been growing there for at least three months. They did not have an estimate of the plants' value.

On the plus side, Iceland is a very beautiful country and a wonderful place to visit.
On the negative side, airfare is expensive, and I don't think there's anyone offering to organize it.
Well, I'm looking into what the costs would be, and from there we'll see how to go about it if the NPW people think it could work.

INDIANAPOLIS Office Depot and the Office Depot Foundation announced that Tony Stewart, an Indiana native and driver of the No. 14 Office Depot/Old Spice Chevy Impala in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series, will join the Foundation on July 22 to donate more than 5,000 backpacks to non-profit organizations and schools in the Indianapolis area.
The backpack donations will be made during a special "Back-to-School Backpack Celebration" event beginning at 2 p.m. local time at the Office Depot store located at 12417 North Meridian Street in Carmel, Ind. In addition to Stewart, special guests scheduled to attend include Katherine Blane, representing Senator Richard G. Lugar (R-Ind.), State Senator Mike Delph (R-29), State Representative Cindy Noe (R-87), Hamilton County Commissioner Christine Altman and Carmel City Council Member Ron Carter, the company reported.
"I am very proud to partner with the Office Depot Foundation again this year and to be able to help so many kids here in the Indianapolis area," Stewart said. "This is a big year for the Office Depot Foundation because it is celebrating the 10th anniversary of its National Backpack Program, and I can tell you from experience how rewarding it is to see the look on these kids' faces when they get a new backpack – it's an automatic boost of confidence for them and helps them feel ready to take on the new school year just like everybody else. Of all the things I'll do this weekend, participating in this program is definitely the most important."

ANTIOCH — Antioch school officials are warning parents after a strange man tried to lure a boy into his car Thursday afternoon.
In a message sent out by Principal Paula McEvoy of Sutter Elementary School in Antioch on Thursday evening, McEvoy said a parent had notified her earlier in the day that the woman's fifth grade son was approached after school by a man he did not know who told him he was sent by a family member to pick him up.
The man, described as a Caucasian man with gray hair and stubble and driving a light blue '70s era car, told the student to get in his car.
The student said, "I don't know you" and quickly walked away.
The man was last seen in his car in the parking lot of Chichibu Park on G Street, but he has not been seen since.
Antioch police have been notified of the incident, McEvoy said in her message.

SHEPHERDSVILLE - Whether the current policy and procedures manual for Shepherdsville anything about decorum during council meetings, the updated one might need it.
As opinions differed on the need for an outside company to revise its policies, the tensions rose.
It was apparent that the two former Fox Chase city officials - Bernie Brown and Corky Miller - had different opinions on the topic.
In the end, the council voted 4-2 to hire HR Resources of Indiana to complete the task.

Related: Lay's fans take to social media to debate new flavors
With such a rich variety of ethnic groups and cultures, the flavors of the San Gabriel Valley can be hard to resist.
And a new contest by Frito-Lay shows they even make the cut for popular Lay's potato chips. This month the chips feature three new flavors, two of which - sriracha and chicken and waffles - are home grown in the SGV. The other flavor is cheesy garlic bread.
The company launched the contest to add a new consumer-inspired Lay's chip flavor for the first time in the brand's 75-year history, according to the company website. The contest garnered 3.8 million fan submissions between July 20 and Oct 6, 2012, and the final winner will receive a $1 million prize or one percent of the 2013 sales.
To most people in Southern California - or in the country for that matter - Roscoe's House of Chicken and Waffles is the one and only place to go for the crispy-sweet treat. The restaurant has been a staple in the region since the 1970s.
"We are known internationally," said Roscoe's Human Resources Director Howard Foreman. "And a lot of people come from across the country."
Though chicken and waffles are popular worldwide, many diners at the Pasadena branch of the restaurant said they weren't sure the treat would be as good in chip form.
"It's an intriguing idea, but I can't see them taking the flavor from the frying pan and putting it on a chip," Foreman said.
Michele Jones, of Pomona, said she would not try the concoction, which could never match the real thing.
"That combination for a potato chip doesn't sound all that appetizing," Jones said.
But Rado Hines, of Pasadena, said he would try the chips.
"It might be a little different, it would probably taste like chicken and something sweet," Hines said.
Another San Gabriel Valley favorite, "rooster sauce," also topped the Lay's flavor finalists list.
The famous Sriracha Sauce has called the SGV home since manufacturer Huy Fong Foods built its first factory in Los Angeles in 1980. The company now has its headquarters in Rosemead, but plans to move to Irwindale.
Representatives for Huy Fong Foods did not return calls for comment on the new chip flavor inspired by their famous sauce.
The chips are available for purchase now. For more information on the contest, visit http://www.fritolay.com/lays/index.html.
