The Kitchn's Best Pie Bakeoff 2008
The Kitchn is having a best pie bakeoff! Why pies? Well, it's November, and pies are about to crop up on holiday tables all over the country. Have you ever made a pie? We were intimidated by pies for a long time, but now they're one of our favorite desserts. We hope to make some converts, discover new recipes, and find the truly best versions of classic pies.
Want to know more about the pie bakeoff, maybe even enter your best pie? Read on!
Think of pies as the parcels that bring warmth and sweetness to holiday gatherings. Thanksgiving is high-pie season, with the obvious (pumpkins) pie ingredient peaking, but think also of apples, pears, quince, squash, sweet potatoes and nuts.
We want to help you nail the pie part of your holiday meal because what gets served last lingers in the mouth's memory. Over the next few weeks you can count on us to publish tons of new pie recipes, tips, tools, product reviews, good ideas and questions, and plenty of inspiration.
What's the Best Pie Bakeoff About?• Finding the best pie recipes that we know are lurking in our readers' cupboards and recipe boxes! The Best Pie Bakeoff is about sharing these recipes and, just for the fun of it, deciding whose pie looks the best to all of us. A few of us will get some sweet prizes but all of us will be the richer for these new recipes.
• The Best Pie Bakeoff is also about encouragement in baking a pie for the first time, and bringing all our best tips to the table. Maybe you've never made a pie but are pie-curious. This is the event for you.
• Oh, and all you tart-bakers, galette-bakers, and other pieish-sort-of-bakers, this is for you too. Throw in your recipes!

Bakeoff Rules and Guidelines
Categories are broken down by what kind of pie it is.
• Classic: This is for the pumpkin pies, apple pies, pecan pies - and everything else that usually shows up on the holiday table. Also the vegan and gluten-free versions of these classics! If you have to ask whether it's classic, well, then it goes in the next category...
• Original: This is for those mixed fall fruit pies, the savory egg and Swiss pies, the meat pies and other unusual pies that we hope also end up here.
The categories are very loose; you can decide which category your pie goes into.
Recipes and Photography
• You can enter any recipe - as long as you think it's the best. Maybe you have a faded recipe clipped from a magazine taped on the inside of a cabinet and it's your go-to pie. Maybe you have a great story of jarring cherries from a neighbor's tree and want to bring them out for a Thanksgiving pie, mixed with some fall flavors to keep it current. You can enter your own recipe, your grandma's recipe, or link to a favorite Epicurious recipe.
• Please do make sure to clearly credit the recipe and link back to it, if it's on the web somewhere.
• We really want to see your pie and the process of making, baking, and eating. We are requiring 4 photos, but you can enter up to 10.
• Doublecheck our how to write a recipe post for instructions on how to properly format your recipe.
• Photos need to be no more than 800 pixels wide. They also need to be well-lit and good-looking. Please see our tips here for taking better food photos.

Can we enter more than one pie?
And don't forget to watch "Pushing Daisies". It's about pies, kind of... :-)
Can we enter two pie recipes, one for each category?
You will only be eligible for a prize in one category, and we may choose (depending on the number of entries) to only post one of your recipes.
But after those caveats, yes, you may enter up to two pies - one in each category.
boo for excluding your Canadian and other international readers!
you don't know how crappy it is that Puerto Rico is part of the US but is not included!
Just posted our pie! i hope it came thru because I got a submit message saying thanks for entering the ice cream contest??
i wish i had had more time.
So much for Canadian butter tarts, or French Canadian Sugar Pie or *my* famous buttermilk pie.
boo on AT indeed!
I'm so impressed by everyone's pies! Great job everyone!
why isnt number 12 winning? it looks absolutely delicious!
Number 9 won? Other entries looked much better. The recipe is plain, the crust isn't special, and whatever that stuff is on top looks weird. I'm also curious as to how so many people voted on it when it got very few comments and wasn't posted on the website very long. Did you guys track IP address with votes to make sure they all didn't come from someone creating usernames from the same computer? Very disappointing. Pies like Pear and Gruyere or Bean Brulee or Apple Cranberry Galette are truly original and look fantastic.
When is the next Best Pie Cookoff?

Cartersville Fire Department Capt. Johnny Fraiser said the calls began at roughly 7 a.m. with a seven vehicle wreck on Interstate 75. The fire department was on scene for roughly an hour and a half, and the only reported injury was a broken leg. There were no fatalities.
Another wreck then occurred at Joe Frank Harris Parkway and Center Road. Two vehicles were involved, and no major injuries were reported.
Cartersville fire was then called to I-75 a second time around 12:30 p.m. when a tractor-trailer, box truck and passenger vehicle wrecked and closed all southbound lanes.
Cartersville was assisting Bartow County Fire Department Station 6 on the scene. The tractor-trailer had jackknifed and the passenger vehicle was trapped between the trailer and the box truck.
According to Fraiser, the passenger car driver did not suffer any injuries aside from a few "minor scratches."
Four other wrecks were called into Carterville fire as well, but were canceled as law enforcement officials were able to clear the wrecks.
On U.S. Highway 411, westbound, at Reynold's Bridge Road, one lane was closed after a tractor-trailer carrying chickens overturned.
The Bartow County Fire Department was on scene for a couple of hours, according to a department spokesman.
Two were transported to the hospital for injuries sustained at the scene.
Another wreck also occurred at the same location but before the tractor-trailer overturned. A passenger vehicle traveling eastbound on 411 ran off the road, down the embankment and struck a tree. No injuries were reported.

In a hearing before Bartow County Superior Court Judge Scott Smith on Tuesday morning, Deandre Davoughin Hightower pleaded guilty in the 2012 murder of Candice Louise Piper.
Hightower was charged with murder, felony murder, two counts of aggravated assault and two counts of false imprisonment. He was sentenced to life plus 30 years to serve in prison.
On Oct. 2, 2012, Piper returned to her 370 Old Mill Road apartment where Hightower and Rosa Williams were staying.
District Attorney Rosemary Greene said in her summary Tuesday that about 45 minutes after Piper returned Williams heard noises and the victim call her, saying, "Rosa, help me."
"She went there to the door, proceeded to try to open it — the door was closed. She could hear movement inside the room; she proceeded to beat on the door, calling for her friend Ms. Piper," Greene said. "At some point, Mr. Hightower opened the door. She could see into the bedroom and observed Ms. Piper with her hand to her throat and blood on her person and about the room.
"Mr. Hightower moved Ms. Williams out of the way, came into the living room, and Ms. Williams attempted at that point in time to make a run for the door to get out of the apartment. Before she could get to the door, Mr. Hightower grabbed her and she was forced to the ground."
Greene continued, "She states the next thing she remembers he was on top of her with his hand on her throat and she could see a knife in his hand. She then heard Ms. Piper come out of the bedroom and stand there near the two of them. Ms. Piper diverted Mr. Hightower's attention and she observed Mr. Hightower again reach back and stab Ms. Piper. At that point in time, she was able to get away from them and fled the apartment ..."
Hightower gathered his belongings and left the complex, dropping a knife outside the apartment door. Several residents followed Hightower to a wooded area, where one man held him at gunpoint until police arrived.
Greene said Piper was alive when Cartersville police arrived and told them "Andre Hightower" was responsible. She later died at the hospital.
Piper's family was aware of Tuesday's proceedings and agreed to the prosecution's terms, Greene said.
Williams also addressed the court, asking why such an act had occurred.
"I don't know that we will ever know the answer to that question," Smith said.
Prior to entering his plea, Hightower's attorney, Ed Dettmar, addressed the court.
"This has been a difficult case for me. I have gotten to know Mr. Hightower over the last year. I wish I had the answer ...," he said. "... What happened that day is a shock to me and, I think, is a shock to him. ... I don't think there is any indication he's a violent person. Mr. Hightower, I don't think has an explanation ...
"He regrets it, wishes he could take it back, but to his credit, he does take responsibility for his actions ... I wish we had an answer."

The BMC Racing Team will bring four riders to Milan-San Remo who have finished in the top 10 of the spring classic. But past podium finisher and world road champion Thor Hushovd will not start Saturday's race due to illness.
Hushovd 'Really Disappointed'
Third at this race in 2009 and 2005, Hushovd is sidelined with a fever. It follows a stomach sickness that affected him in the opening days of Paris-Nice. "Monday night I woke up with fever and was cold and sweating," he said. "I have felt bad for two days now so there's no chance to race on Saturday. I am really disappointed because it was obviously one of my first goals of the year." BMC Racing Team Directeur Sportif John Lelangue said illnesses and injuries which have affected other riders – Philippe Gilbert had a fever this week and Greg Van Avermaet is recovering from sore heels – are part of cycling. "The decision to take them both out of Tirreno-Adriatico was a good one," Lelangue said. "They are still not 100 percent, but we have two days to go. We are still pretty confident that we have a good team with good experience."
Feeling No Pressure
Twice a podium finisher, including third place last year and in 2008, Gilbert said he is feeling better each day. "I have been riding easy in training and I hope to have a race that's easier at first, maybe with a headwind or something," he said. "I'll try to be smart and ride in a good position. Milan-San Remo can be a very strange race where anything can happen. If it's not for me in the final, maybe it will be Alessandro Ballan or Greg Van Avermaet or someone else on our team. I think we have a good team and we aren't feeling pressure because we know we can be competitive." Former world road champion Ballan, fourth here last year and fourth at Strade Bianche, believes his form is good. "I can do something good there," Ballan said. "I worked hard in Tirreno-Adriatico, even if I didn't make a result there and I am in optimal condition right now. I think we can be one of the teams that takes charge of the race."

California American Water has vastly over-estimated the cost of the Monterey Peninsula Water Supply Project and should be required to cut spending on the desalination-based proposal by tens of millions of dollars, say ratepayer advocates with the California Public Utilities Commission.
In Feb. 22 testimony filed with the PUC, the Division of Ratepayer Advocates suggested Cal Am's estimated costs are too high for everything from the proposed desal plant to pipelines to operations and maintenance, and much lower project cost caps should be implemented. The lower costs could save Peninsula ratepayers as much as $24.6 million per year, according to the testimony.
The ratepayer advocates say the Cal Am-owned desal plant north of Marina should cost at most between $182.7million and $216.6 million, depending on the size of the plant. Cal Am estimates the cost at $223.5 million to $277.8 million.
The company is proposing to build a plant capable of producing 6.4 million gallons per day or 9.6 million gallons per day, depending on whether a supplemental groundwater replenishment project backed by the Monterey Regional Water Pollution Control Agency is deemed feasible and ready to go.
The advocates argue Cal Am should be required to focus on construction of the smaller desal plant, along with groundwater replenishment, as its primary option, but the larger plant should be approved if the groundwater replenishment proposal falls through.
The pipelines and terminal reservoir, known as Cal Am-only facilities in the company's proposal, should cost a maximum of $66.
Finally, advocates argue Cal Am's annual desal plant operations and maintenance costs should be lowered from Cal Am's estimated $9 million to $11 million, depending on plant size, to between $7.2 million and $8.8 million.
In the testimony, the advocates suggest Cal Am's proposed costs were "inconsistent with the (desal) project description update, not fully justified or calculated incorrectly."
The advocates' responsibility is to attempt to protect utility customers in California. The division regularly argues in favor of lower project cost estimates than those floated by proponents.
Cal Am officials declined to comment on the assertions and said all arguments would be addressed in its rebuttal testimony due Friday.
The company is seeking a replacement source of water because of a state-ordered cutback in pumping from the Carmel River that is to take full effect in 2016.
The advocates' Feb. 22 testimony was joined by filings from nearly a dozen agencies and organizations participating in the PUC's review of Cal Am's project application.
Among highlights of the testimony:
· The Peninsula mayors' water authority formally outlined its conditions of support for the project, including detailed back-up plans and public governance, that are supported by the Monterey Peninsula Water Management District and the county Board of Supervisors.
· The Coalition of Peninsula Businesses called for a larger desal plant capable of producing 16,000 acre-feet of potable water per year to address what it called the real demand.
· The water management district outlined the rationale for its pursuit of alternative desal proposals, including the specter of lengthy litigation over Cal Am's plans to draw water from the overdrafted Salinas Valley groundwater basin and the possibility that delays in proposed test wells could push the availability of crucial results into early 2016. The district also suggested aquifer storage and recovery, groundwater replenishment and Pacific Grove's smaller water projects should all be judged on equal footing with Cal Am's desal plant project.
· The Salinas Valley Water Coalition submitted testimony from a water expert who argued tapping the groundwater basin would be fraught with challenges.
· The Surfrider Foundation argued that shoreline wells, as proposed by Cal Am, are the preferred method because they avoid ocean impacts. The foundation sought assurances that brine disposal from the desal plant would be properly handled and its impacts on the ocean fully addressed.
The testimony featured expressions of support from notables including Rep. Sam Farr, Monterey Bay Aquarium executive Julie Packard and former legislator Fred Keeley.
Next up: The PUC is scheduled to host evidentiary hearings at its San Francisco headquarters, set for April 2-5 and 8-11.
Jim Johnson can be reached at 753-6753 or email@example.com.

Two words carrying a mountain of meaning have the Sierra Club threatening a lawsuit and calling for heads to roll at the Fort Ord Reuse Authority.
On Thursday, the group accused the 2010 FORA board of quietly committing a "serious breach" of the 1998 settlement agreement that guides environmental issues and development on the former Army base.
By replacing the word "shall" with the word "may" in March 2010, the board made discretionary a portion of the settlement that required FORA to reject projects that were inconsistent with its base reuse plan.
The settlement is codified as Chapter 8 of FORA's Master Resolution. According to board minutes from March 12, 2010, on the advice of counsel, the board made some "minor" changes in the resolution to make it easier to understand.
Many of the changes elsewhere in the document replaced the word "shall" with "will." Only in Chapter 8 was "shall" changed to "may," which carries a significantly different meaning in and out of the law.
"The mandatory requirement for disapproving consistency determinations is a major, material provision of the 1998 Sierra Club-FORA settlement agreement," the letter from Sierra Club representatives Jane Haines and Scott Waltz states. "We realize that lay members of FORA's board would not necessarily have understood the significance of (the resolution). But certainly FORA's attorney in March of 2010 would have understood it."
The letter requests the board "terminate any FORA employees who are responsible for the breach" and threatens legal action if it is not corrected.
FORA's attorney then and now is Jerry Bowden, whose performance review is already under way. According to meeting minutes from 2010, the item was introduced and recommended by Executive Officer Michael Houlemard.
FORA's outside public relations consultant, Candace Ingram, responded to requests for comment from Houlemard on Thursday.
She said the change was a clerical error that will be addressed at next month's FORA board meeting.
"It is very simply a mistake that needs to be corrected," she said, adding she didn't think any malice was intended.
Left standing without litigation, the change could have had significant impact on future developments on Fort Ord, including Monterey Downs. Developers of that proposed project entered into exclusive negotiating agreements with Monterey County and the city of Seaside just months after the Chapter 8 language was changed.
In its letter Thursday, the Sierra Club states it was not notified in advance of the 2010 changes as required by the settlement of its lawsuit over the FORA base reuse plan.
Ingram said FORA has a "cordial" relationship with the Sierra Club and Houlemard had already spoken with Haines about the necessary correction.
Haines declined comment outside of her letter.

Thorny path ahead at the Capitol
Clearing the halfway point of the legislative session on Monday, few governors have been as successful as Bobby Jindal. Yet the first may have been his better half, given the trouble lying ahead with pensions, prisons and—scariest of all—a budget teetering out of balance.
Regardless of how one judges his education agenda, passing so many major changes in so short a time with so few compromises was a feat of executive willpower over the legislative branch, which more resembled a twig.
Reordering the public retirement system, however, is proving to be a thornier affair. Before the Legislature took up the retirement bills, the administration had to completely rework the original proposals, for which legislators had been catching hell from state workers, who, counting college personnel, live in practically every district.
The governor's first concession, to use the increased employee contribution, from 8% to 11%, to pay down pension debt instead of filling in the budget, opens about a $70 million budget gap, without a plan, so far, to cover it.
The second concession replaces the proposed retirement age increase to 67 for most workers with a two-tiered, sliding-scale formula to determine eligibility and benefits. The rewritten plan, which appeared at the start of the Senate Retirement Committee meeting last week, seemed to baffle senators, but they passed it out anyway, with promises from the chairman, Sen. Elbert Guillory, D-Opelousas, that everything would be fixed on the way to the Senate floor. When that and other retirement bills come up for debate this week, many questions and concerns await.
Not the least of them is about the constitutionality of the measures, which the Legislature's own auditor has called into question. Do the retirement rules that were in effect at the time of hiring form a contract, not to be changed unilaterally years later? Team Jindal says that benefits accrued already can't be taken away, but, going forward, the terms can be altered. State workers say that courts will find otherwise, as they have in other states, if legislators don't say no first.
The original bill to authorize the sale or lease of the medium-security prison in Avoyelles Parish was not, of itself, a major money deal, but it now represents this session's most significant vote on privatization. (The massive, ongoing privatization of a large part of the Medicaid program was authorized in 2010 by budgetary sleight of hand, without a direct vote of the Legislature).
After the prison bill just squeaked through the friendly Appropriations Committee, the governor's team changed course on the House floor, jettisoning the sale authority and asking only to be able to lease the facility to a private operator. Opponents charged that the potential reduction in prison-guard compensation from about $57,000 to $33,000 would take food off the tables of loyal state workers, assuming they are hired by the private contractor.
Once the bill was amended, the governor's team cautiously put it back on the calendar in order to recount the votes and avoid an embarrassing defeat.
Jindal had room to maneuver on the difficult legacy lawsuits issue, concerning the cleanup of contaminated oilfields, until Sen. David Vitter interposed himself between the governor and the business lobby. As things stand now, if there is no resolution of the issue again this year, the senator will see that the governor gets blamed for it.
Then there's the budget, questionably balanced as it is. The Legislature could find itself short by another $200 million unless sluggish tax collections rally. Regardless, the administration avers that the budget will be balanced without tax increases, which can't be considered in this session anyway, according to the constitution.
Here's Jindal's deeper problem. Since before he was first elected, the Republican mantra has been that Louisiana does not have a revenue problem, but a spending problem. We have not heard him disagree. If this budget has to be balanced with more deep cuts to higher education and health care, on top of those made last term, the question will be asked: If Jindal has controlled both revenue and spending for five years now, what—or who—is the problem?

"I live on my own now," she said, addressing attendees of the United Way of Bartow County's annual meeting. "I have a vehicle and I'm in school and I'm also helping to care for my [sisters]. ... I want to be a big part of my sisters' lives and helping them get to where they need to be but I also want better for myself. I get to see Jessica [Mitcham, Good Neighbor's executive director] and other people that I look up to, I have the privilege of being close to you guys and getting to see what you do and, I think, that that's what motivates me to want to be like you guys and do something important."
Since forming in 1996, the Good Neighbor has served more than 4,600 people. On average, the 4,600-square-foot facility that was built in 2001 assists nearly 400 individuals per year. While they are housed, Good Neighbor's guests are required to find a job within four weeks, and the shelter's staff helps them establish savings, focus on problem-solving skills and chart out future housing options.
"[The opportunity to help guests at Good Neighbor] means a lot," Montoya said. "Whenever I speak to them, I kind of feel it, like I know what they've went through or [are] going through. It helps me to see them succeed. It brings me happiness."
At Tuesday's gathering, the Good Neighbor was one of several United Way agencies that were highlighted, detailing their contributions to the community. With the United Way of Bartow County's 2012 fundraising campaign surpassing its goal of $500,000, organizations like the Good Neighbor will receive needed financial support to bolster their efforts.
Giving thanks to their supporters, representatives of the United Way celebrated its recent campaign at the nonprofit's annual meeting and luncheon.
"I would like to say thank you to all of the United Way of Bartow County agencies and their staff," said Brenda Morehouse, president of the United Way of Bartow County. "As you can see, they are making a difference in our community every day and without these dedicated individuals our community would suffer.
"These agencies, they house the homeless, they feed the hungry, they help victims of single home fires, natural disasters, provide medical services for those who don't have insurance, guide the youth in the community and the list goes on and on. Every fall, United Way campaigns to help raise money for these agencies so that they can continue to help Bartow County."
Started in September, the "Be the Change" fundraising effort generated $518,267. The campaign primarily generated funds through payroll deductions, which enables employees to donate a minimal amount yearlong, with a portion of their paycheck designated to the United Way.
Funds raised through the campaign will be dispersed, based on need, to United Way's 16 agencies: AIDS Alliance of Northwest Georgia, Good Neighbor Homeless Shelter, Bartow County 4-H Club, Boys & Girls Clubs of Bartow County, Bartow Civil Air Patrol, American Red Cross, Christian League for Battered Women, New Beginnings Food Outreach, The Salvation Army, Good Shepherd Foundation, Habitat for Humanity, Hickory Log Vocational School, North Bartow Community Services, Bartow Health Access and Advocates for Children. Combined, the nonprofits serve about 60,000 people each year.
"Our 'Be the Change' campaign for 2012 was a very successful campaign," Morehouse said. "Considering all the problems with our economy, United Way of Bartow County continued to grow with donations. The guidance of the board of directors, the work of our campaign committee and the amazing people of this community made it happen this year. We wouldn't be anywhere close to our fundraising goal each year without our biggest supporters: Shaw Industries, Anheuser-Busch, Publix and Georgia Power. These companies give a tremendous amount through corporate donations and also encourage their employees to give through payroll deduction.
"… And although it is too many to mention, United Way also wants to thank all the retailers, small businesses and individual donors for their participation in United Way. They also play a huge role in the success of our campaign each year. Our annual report recognizes everyone that helped with our campaign. I wish we had time to read [each] name and [the] list of the wonderful things they did, but I know they didn't do it for the recognition or an award — they did it because they care and they wanted to make a difference."
The annual meeting also featured remarks from 2012 Chairman Angela Thomas Cooley and various individuals were highlighted for their contributions to the local United Way. In addition to Michael Ball receiving the Matthew D. Hill Volunteer of the Year Award, Edward Hoggs was presented with the Pinnacle Award. Also recognized was Kay House, director of North Bartow Community Services, for her service to the Adairsville community.
Following Good Neighbor's presentation, Timothy Daniel spoke on behalf of the Bartow Area Habitat for Humanity. Initially describing his residence as a "gift from heaven," his Habitat home was constructed in 2012.
To help remove the limits imposed by his multiple sclerosis, Daniel's four-bedroom, two-bathroom residence on Douglas Street in Cartersville contains features that were installed with his health condition in mind, such as a wheelchair ramp, lower countertops, laminate flooring and a seat in the shower.
"I didn't think I would qualify for it but we went ahead and, long story shortwe started building our house [last] March," Daniel said. "From day one, my hard-headed self was out there, [I] was out there building, hammering nails and the days we couldn't work there, we'd work at the Habitat [ReSale] Store.
"… The helpers, oh my God, we had people coming with skilled labor that was unbelievable. Every day they came. It was just awesome. Wells Fargo sent [30] people. … I am so thankful to them. [Habitat Executive Director] Robin [Hooker] and [Habitat Administrative Assistant] Kathy [Stringer], they've been godsends to us because at one time I didn't think as a MS patient that I would be the owner of a home."
Since forming in 1984, Bartow Area Habitat for Humanity has constructed about 40 residences.
An average of 150 people applies each year, with 10 percent of their applications being further reviewed. To be approved, applicants need to satisfy various requirements, such as meeting income guidelines, living or working in Bartow County for at least one year, contributing at least 450 hours in their home's construction and being able to pay for their residence. Valued about $140,000, the nonprofit's homes are sold for about $80,000. House payments issued by Habitat range from $400 to $450 a month, which includes taxes and insurance.

HIV & AIDS Health Center
HIV and AIDS
HIV Tests continued...
Antibody/antigen tests. These tests are recommended by the CDC and can detect HIV up to 20 days earlier than standard tests. They check for HIV antigen, a part of the virus that shows up 2-4 weeks after infection. These tests can also detect HIV antibodies. A positive result for the antigen allows treatment to begin earlier and the patient to avoid infecting others. These are blood tests only.
Rapid antibody/antigen test. One antibody/antigen tests delivers results in 20 minutes.
In-home test kits. These kits -- there are two available in the U.S. -- screen blood and saliva for HIV antibodies. You can buy them at your local store. The Home Access HIV-1 Test System requires a small blood sample that is collected at home and sent to a lab. The user, who may remain anonymous, can get results by phone in three business days. The OraQuick In-Home HIV Test can detect HIV antibodies in saliva, if the antibodies are present (which can take up to 6 months). The user swabs the upper and lower gums of their mouths, places the sample in a developer vial, and can get results in 20-40 minutes. A follow-up test should be done if the result is positive.
Who Should Be Tested for HIV?
Recently, the CDC changed testing recommendations. All adults should be screened at least once. People who are considered high risk (needle drug users, multiple sex partners, for example) should be tested more often. All pregnant women should be tested. Anyone who has sustained a needle stick or significant blood exposure from a person known to have HIV or from an unknown source should be tested, too.
Does HIV Have Symptoms?
Some people get flu-like symptoms within a month after they have been infected. These symptoms often go away within a week to a month. A person can have HIV for many years before feeling ill.
As the disease progresses, both women and men may experience yeast infections on the tongue (thrush), and women may develop severe vaginal yeast infections or pelvic inflammatory disease. Shingles is often seen early on, often before someone is diagnosed with HIV.
What Are the Symptoms of AIDS?
Signs that HIV is turning into AIDS include:
- A fever that won't go away
- Sweating while you sleep
- Feeling tired all the time (not from stress or lack of sleep)
- Feeling sick all the time
- Losing weight
- Swollen glands (neck, groin, or underarms)
- Oral thrush
What Infections Do People With AIDS Get?
People with AIDS are extremely vulnerable to infection, called AIDS-defining illnesses, and often exhibit the following conditions:
- Kaposi's sarcoma, a skin tumor that looks like dark or purple blotches on the skin or in the mouth
- Mental changes and headaches caused by fungal infections or tumors in the brain and spinal cord
- Shortness of breath and difficulty breathing because of infections of the lungs
- Dementia
- Severe malnutrition
- Chronic diarrhea

Being an associate at a large law firm isn't easy. Partners can be extremely demanding, sometimes unreasonably so. But because the partners sign the paychecks, most associates, especially associates with student loans hanging over them, have no choice but to obey. The associate's fantasy of telling his least favorite partner to take this job and shove it is just that — a fantasy.
But not for every associate. Some associates are so wealthy that working in Biglaw is just something they do for fun. In today's Lawyerly Lairs, we introduce you to an associate whose new apartment puts many a partner pad to shame….

… The winner of my homemade (reusable, washable, eco-friendly) bulk food/produce bags giveaway is commenter #10! Let's see, that would be the amazingly awesome Shellyfish!!!! Congratulations to you!!! I will contact you via e-mail so we can sort out the details (OK? OK!!).
I would like to thank everybody who left comments about tahini and their favorite recipes that use tahini. The most popular response was hummus. Who am I to argue? I absolutely love hummus. In fact, I am planning on making some roasted red pepper hummus this week! This happens to work out well since I mentioned that the winner's recipe choice would be featured in an upcoming post, and Shellyfish mentioned hummus as one of her favorites. There were so many delicious-looking recipes (raw bars, noodles, shortbread, cookies, sauces…) left by commenters that I will probably feature more than just hummus in the next few weeks.
I am hoping to step out of my laziness and make a W.I.P. post this evening.
That's it!
The sun is shining today which makes me think of springtime and new buds.

Last week, we released our picks for the Best Business Book of 2012 as well as the eight category winners. Following in the footsteps of the New York Times, if we may, who asked a few of their esteemed book reviewers to reveal a list of their favorite books of 2012 ("Favorite is not synonymous with best, so this process can be painful. Brutal honesty is required. We pick what we actually liked, not what we only admired, although ideally our favorites fit both descriptions" writes Janet Maslin. And also, "In the midnight hour these 10 Favorites — not 10 Bests — call for a gut check. Bottom line, for each of us: Is this a book I'd give to a friend?"), we've decided to also share with you a list of our 'favorite' business books. For us, we decided this list should consist of books that are square pegs that don't quite fit into the business book genre's round holes. Books that are valuable and interesting to the business and/or nonfiction reader, but might have more universal application than the books that were picked for our annual awards. And so…our editorial staff's favorite books of the year:
Sally – Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World That Can't Stop Talking by Susan Cain from Crown Business
The secret to life is to put yourself in the right lighting. For some it's a Broadway spotlight; for others, a lamplit desk. Use your natural powers–of persistence, concentration, insight, and sensitivity–to do work you love and work that matters. Solve problems, make art, think deeply. [...] Figure out what you are meant to contribute to the world and make sure you contribute it. If this requires public speaking or networking or other activities that make you uncomfortable, do them anyway. But accept that they're difficult, get the training you need to make them easier, and reward yourself when you're done.
Dylan – The Fine Print: How Big Companies Use 'Plain English' to Rob You Blind by David Cay Johnston from Penguin Portfolio
How the promise of cheap, competitive and unlimited telecommunications service has been turned into a reality of expensive, monopolistic and limited service is just one part of the larger transformation in the American economy since the late 1970s. A host of large industries, including banks, credit card lenders, electric utilities, health care, oil pipelines, Hollywood studios, property insurance, railroads and water companies, all have worked quietly to rewrite America's economic playbook in their favor. [...] In The Fine Print, we'll look at how legislatures have rewritten basic business laws, some whose principles date back thousands of years.
Michael – Beating the Global Odds: Successful Decision-making in a Confused and Troubled World by Paul Laudicina from John Wiley & Sons
Today's leaders and citizens have to accept a world fraught with volatility and disruptive change, and they have to realize that inaction is not a good option. It's not all bad: This unprecedented volatility is accompanied by an equally unprecedented and compelling convergence of doing well with doing good–a blending of the pursuit of enlightened self-interest with the pursuit of the common good….By leveraging new technological capabilities and employing more dynamic ways of thinking and inspiring the future, we can beat the global odds.
Jon – Antifragile: Things That Gain from Disorder by Nassim Nicholas Taleb from Random House
Some things benefit from shocks; they thrive and grow when exposed to volatility, randomness, disorder, and stressors and love adventure, and risk, and uncertainty. Yet, in spite the ubiquity of the phenomenon, there is no word for the exact opposite of fragile. Let us call it anti-fragile. [So...] The best way to verify that you are alive is by checking if you like variations. Remember that food would not have a taste if it weren't for hunger; results are meaningless without effort, joy without sadness, convictions without certainty, and an ethical life isn't so when stripped of personal risk.
Jack – Bitter Brew: The Rise and Fall of Anheuser-Busch and America's Kings of Beer by William Knoedelseder from HarperBusiness
Thanks to their beer, the Busch family had tasted all that America ever promised the immigrant class from which they sprang –wealth almost beyond comprehension, political power that provided access to presidents, and a lifestyle rivaling that of history's most extravagant royals. Along with that, of course, came a king-sized portion of heartbreak, scandal, tragedy, and untimely death. But they had endured…. Of the brewing giants that boomed after Prohibition…only Anheuser-Busch remained as a free-standing, independent company, still operated by the family that founded it.

We offer two ways to locate information:
Red wines that are more fruit-forward and lighter in tannin and body.
Medium bodied reds that go down easy, with smooth tannins and supple fruit.
Wines where earthy and/or spicy dominate the flavors – typically medium to full body.
Full bodied wines that have concentrated fruit and are higher in alcohol and/or tannins. Some need age.
Deep reddish purple with aromas of bright berry/cherry fruit. Like swallowing a whole bowl of mixed ripe berries at once. Big body yet very balanced, with luscious layers of raspberry, cherry, and cocoa flavors. Just a hint of baking spice at the end brings it all together.
Pairs well with grilled meats such as beef and pork, smoked ham, and even pizza with meat toppings. Incredibly fun to drink!
"60% Bonarda, 40% Malbec; Earth/mineral/underbrush; dense and layered, ripe, mouth-filling, impeccable balance, lengthy."

The Wine Advocate
"Bright ruby. Captivating aromas of black cherry, mocha, coffee, violet and sexy oak. The middle palate shows lovely lift and cut to the juicy flavors of blackberry, violet and bitter chocolate. This is a very clever blend, with the malbec component providing energy. Finishes with firm tannins and very good length. A terrific value."
