Sargent Shriver Civil Counsel Act
Closing the Loop - Sargent Shriver Civil Counsel Act
The Judicial Council has chosen seven pilot projects that will provide legal representation to a selected number of low-income Californians. The Legislature, via the Sargent Shriver Civil Counsel Act, AB 590, has funded these projects with $9.5 million per year starting on July 1, 2011. The pilots are administered by the Administrative Office of the Courts.
These seven pilot projects, each in a different area of the state, target cases involving critical legal issues that affect basic human needs such as housing, custody, conservatorship, and guardianship. In these kinds of disputes, low-income litigants are, for the most part, unrepresented—and often unaware of the various options open to them. The pilots target cases in which one side is represented by a lawyer and the other is not.
Each project is a partnership of a lead legal services nonprofit corporation, the court, and other legal services providers in the community. The projects will provide legal representation to low-income Californians at or below 200 percent of the federal poverty level. When selecting cases, the agencies will consider the complexity of the case and whether the potential client has special challenges, such as limited English proficiency, illiteracy, or disabilities. They will also review how serious the case is and whether the client has a good chance of prevailing. In addition, the agencies will look at whether providing assistance might save money in the long run by reducing the costs of social services such as homeless and domestic violence shelters.
Since the need for services is expected to outpace the available funding, it will not be possible to provide all eligible low-income parties with attorneys. Thus, the court partners will also receive funding to change procedures and practices to ensure that those parties who still lack attorneys have meaningful access to the courts, have their cases heard on the merits, and do not unintentionally give up their rights. These new court services will include expanded mediation assistance, language interpreters, a probate facilitator, a housing inspector, special parenting workshops, and other creative methods to address these important and challenging cases.
The legal services agencies selected for the pilot projects will screen litigants to identify eligible clients and will contract with other legal services providers in the community to provide services. Staff attorneys will be hired, but pro bono work by outside attorneys will also be encouraged. The lead legal services agency will be the main point of contact for referrals from the court and other agencies. Some projects will also provide assistance from social workers to help address the issues that clients face.
The AOC will conduct a study to demonstrate the effectiveness and continued need for each project. Those findings and recommendations will go to the Judicial Council, which in turn will present them to the Governor and the Legislature on or before January 31, 2016.
The study will include data on the impact of counsel on equal access to justice and the effect on court administration and efficiency. It will also focus on the enhanced coordination between courts and other government service providers and community resources. It will describe the benefits of providing representation to those who were previously not represented, both for the clients and the courts, and recommend strategies for maximizing the benefit of that representation in the future. In addition, the study will include data on the impact of the pilot program on families and children, as well as an assessment of the continuing unmet legal needs of low-income people.
As one of the first programs in the country to combine representation for low-income persons in these types of cases with court innovation, the Sargent Shriver Civil Counsel Act has attracted national attention. The lessons learned should be helpful to other courts working on innovations—and to everyone interested in the best ways of ensuring that all persons coming to court get an appropriate level of legal assistance in these critical cases.
Click here for the Sargent Shriver Fact Sheet
The modern movement to offer legal services to low-income people was spearheaded by Sargent Shriver in 1966, aided by the American Bar Association, which at the time was headed by future United States Supreme Court Justice Lewis Powell. The movement has been driven by the great disparity that exists between the small number of lawyers available for low-income Americans compared with the abundant availability of legal services for others.
Over the past few decades, a number of studies have demonstrated that just outcomes are more likely to be reached in civil cases when litigants have legal representation

Why set up an Account?
Featured Military Content
By Army Sgt. 1st Class Tyrone C. Marshall Jr.American Forces Press Service
WASHINGTON, Jan. 8, 2013 As tax season nears, Military OneSource and H&R Block have joined forces again to provide a free online tax preparation service for service members.
During an interview with American Forces Press Service and the Pentagon Channel, Tony Jackson, a program analyst for the Military OneSource program office, detailed the services available for troops and their families.
"Military OneSource is a gateway to a free tax preparation service, partnered with H&R Block," he said. "We also have tax consultants who can provide assistance, whether it's seeking and filling out tax forms or any other tax-related information."
Jackson emphasized it is a safe and secure way for service members to prepare their taxes online.
"Military OneSource and H&R block definitely meet industry standards for security for websites," he said. "Also, encryption software [is used], and there's also no selling of information, so service members and family members can be assured that their information is secure, and it stays within Military OneSource and H&R Block."
Jackson noted that two services -- basic and premium – are provided through H&R Block, with one notable difference. The basic service is free, he said, and the premium service would apply to taxpayers who must file Schedule C returns, generally to report gains or losses from business ownership.
"When you [start] getting into premium, … you're going to incur some additional costs, where basic is free," Jackson said. "But if you have Schedule C tax issues, that's when you'd go to the premium. Again, the key point there is you do incur additional costs if you have to use the premium."
For those not sure which service they should use, Jackson encouraged them to use the Military OneSource website as a guide. The site lists answers to frequently asked questions, he added.
"You can always contact Military OneSource at 1-800-342-9647," Jackson said. "We're open 24 hours a day, seven days a week, so any questions you have, you can use the website or the call center at the [toll-free] number."
Jackson said both methods are effective in contacting Military OneSource tax consultants offering useful services for troops and their families.
"Not only do they provide forms and basic information relative to military-specific tax issues and questions, they are a gateway to get you to H&R Block," he said. "If your tax situation warrants, they'll get you to a volunteer income tax assistance clinic on your local military installation or larger command. It's one-stop shopping."
These tax consultants cannot prepare tax forms or direct people to do anything, Jackson said. Everything is on a recommended basis.
All members of the Army, Navy, Air Force and Marine Corps are eligible to use the service, he said, including members of the National Guard and Reserve components, regardless of activation status.
Coast Guard reservists activated under Title 10 authority to serve with the Navy also are eligible, he added, and so are spouses and other family members enrolled in the Defense Enrollment Eligibility Reporting System.
"Family members that have been designated to provide support to deployed service members, medically discharged retirees and discharged service members [within] 180 days of their discharge date are eligible for Military OneSource services," Jackson added.
The key to these services is financial readiness, which is a Defense Department priority, Jackson said.
"We understand that financial readiness is a readiness issue," he said. "If you have a service [member] who's concerned about their financial situation then that detracts from the mission."
Jackson also provided his personal testament to using the free tax preparation program, having served on active duty in the Marine Corps as a personnel officer for more than 20 years. He said his family still uses the service.
"In fact, I have a daughter right now who is currently a military spouse, and she continues to use it as well," he said.
This program's ultimate goal, Jackson said, is to ensure service members and their families know that Military OneSource is an option.
"We hope it's the first option … for getting your taxes prepared or answering any questions or issues you have with taxes," he said. "Just know that Military OneSource is there to help you."

The context
Tajikistan remains the poorest nation in Central Asia. Its civil war in the 1990s severely damaged the country's already weak economic infrastructure and caused a sharp decline in industrial and agricultural production. Uneven implementation of structural reforms and widespread unemployment have kept the economy in a fragile condition and left families struggling with extreme poverty, poor healthcare and isolation. The country is also vulnerable to earthquakes, floods, avalanches, mudslides, energy shortages, locusts and crop failure leading to increasing food insecurity.

Drawings of bone and muscle structure, of the working of the joints and the interrelation of the various parts of the body, are mainly concerned with movement of all sorts--movements that are described as well as illustrated. Every artist will save tedious hours of research with this simple but effective approach, and will be delighted with its directness and fervor. Paperback, 170 pages.

Having cancer means having to deal with issues and situations that may frighten and challenge you. There is no right or wrong way to feel. People have different reactions and emotions at different times. You may experience sudden changes in your moods and feelings. These emotions are part of the process many people go through when dealing with an illness.
Common fears and thoughts about cancer may include:
- 'I don't want to lose my independence and freedom.'
- 'I don't want my family or friends to treat me differently.'
- 'I don't know how I'll cope financially.'
- 'I might miss out on a promotion or lose important work contacts.'
- 'I may have to make big changes to my lifestyle.'
- 'I may die.'
These are likely to be very real concerns for you and those close to you. It's fine to worry about them and be upset by them. And it's fine to cry and say how you feel when things feel tough.
At any time after your cancer diagnosis, you may have the following feelings:
Shock and disbelief
You may find the diagnosis hard to believe and feel numb. You may not be able to take in much information and keep asking the same questions. You might find it hard to talk to family or friends about the cancer. We have more information on the benefits of talking. This includes some tips on asking for support, and what to do if you don't want to talk.
Fear and anxiety
You may feel frightened about the treatment and about whether it will work. You might be anxious about what will happen in the future. We have more information about fear and anxiety.
Some people may blame themselves or others for the cancer. They might try to find reasons for why it has happened to them. But most of the time, it is impossible to know exactly what has caused a person's cancer. There are people who can help you get the help and support you need.
Sadness and depression
You may feel sad that cancer has interrupted plans you had or that your future feels uncertain. Feeling sad is a natural reaction to loss. It may come and go throughout your treatment and after it has finished. For most people, these periods of sadness will pass. But for some people, their sadness may continue or get worse. Their sadness may be turning into depression.
You may get angry with the people close to you. You may even resent other people for being well. These are normal reactions. Let people close to you know that you are angry at your illness and not at them. Finding ways to help you relax and reduce stress can help with anger. You can also take positive steps to help yourself.
It is important to remember that everyone reacts differently. There is no right or wrong way to feel.

Office of the President
Welcome to Monroe Community College.
MCC is a wonderful place to learn. From young adults to lifelong learners, students thrive and grow here.
Each year, more than 31,000 MCC students prepare for a new career or pursue a rediscovered passion. Some choose to develop their leadership, team and communication skills by getting involved in one of our clubs or organizations. Many take online courses and fit their classwork into busy lives already filled with work and families.
I encourage you to join them.
Maybe you decided to be a teacher in high school or have wanted to be a firefighter ever since kindergarten. Maybe you want to be an executive chef or just learn a little more about computers. Maybe you're confused or undecided, struggling with the nagging question of what you want to be when you grow up -- or maybe you're planning for your second, third, or even fourth career.
Many of last year's graduates transferred straight from MCC to more than 135 colleges and universities. Other graduates were on the career fast track and were hired by over 800 employers. Our alumni become doctors, teachers, nurses and lawyers. They are elected officials, auto mechanics, police officers and engineers. And they each once stood exactly where you are now standing -- at the doorway to a new future.
When I first arrived on campus, one of the things that struck me was the collective enthusiasm and commitment of faculty members, counselors, administrators and staff. Their passion for student success is such a powerful force that it's contagious. MCC is fortunate to be filled with the kind of generous individuals who are happy to share the expertise of their chosen fields. I urge you to take advantage of their assistance, guidance, and knowledge.
I would also encourage you to remember that what you put into your educational pursuit at MCC will surely determine what you take away from the experience.
So, ask questions. Study hard. Get to know your professors. Give it all you've got. Learn to love learning. And along the way, let me know how you're doing by emailing email@example.com. Your success is our success. We're glad you're here!

The community-minded, member-focused approach that's the hallmark of credit unions has long been a differentiator in the marketplace. Consumers who seek to be "part of something" or to be recognized for a characteristic they have in common with others have been drawn to credit unions founded around like principles.
With positive credit union growth during the past five consecutive quarters—during a time of great uncertainty for financial institutions and the U.S. economy at large—it's clear the altruistic nature of credit unions is giving them an edge.
The competitive forces in the financial marketplace, however, are significant. Credit unions are being challenged by community banks, check-cashing outlets, and even entities such as Google, PayPal, and Walmart.
Credit unions' tradition of building community—through both a high level of member service and deep support of their home markets—is only one of many factors in members' selection or retention of their credit unions. Equally important are innovation, access to a broad portfolio of services, and the ability to interact using the same technologies that have become pervasive in their relationships with other businesses and organizations.
How can credit unions leverage their strengths to compete in today's marketplace and continue to thrive in the future? The key is to provide a mix of services and interfaces that appeal to members and prospective members across all generations.
For many credit unions, achieving this kind of mix will mean thinking differently about how they integrate delivery channels and partner with service providers. It also will mean a renewed focus on delivering on credit unions' mission and core values.
Historically, that mission has centered around service. And while credit unions' traditional approach to service will continue to appeal to consumers, the way members and potential members of the future define service likely will be a departure from the expectations that have shaped today's institutions.
Consumers have grown accustomed to speedy delivery of information and access to transactions via powerful platforms with extensive functionality.
Today's consumers can purchase from retailers online and pick up purchased items from brick-and-mortar locations at their convenience. Those same consumers can reserve tables at restaurants and even "get in line" for haircuts through simple mobile applications. Consumers are beginning to demand the same types of access and flexibility from all aspects of their lives, including their banking.
One of the biggest challenges facing credit unions today is balancing this demand for anytime/anywhere service with a continuing need for the branch environment. This dichotomy of consumers today is unprecedented, and their personal and generational preferences are as diverse as they've ever been.
While baby boomers currently are the most significant member base for many credit unions, the future is coming—and fast. Millennials or Generation Y—young consumers ages 18 to 32—are becoming an increasingly influential consumer market segment. Experts predict that by 2017, millennials will have
the most spending power of all the generations.
How can credit unions meet the challenge of serving these diverse consumer segments and remain viable in the future? By preparing to align their mission of service with the expectations of members they'll serve tomorrow.
During the past several months, Diebold has visited with credit unions around the country to help them begin to articulate their strategies for transforming their branches and delivery channels—so they can continue their mission of service.
At the same time that the charge to meet the needs of diverse consumer groups is weighing heavily on our credit union partners, they're also focused on continuing to deliver value to existing members—by providing in-demand banking products and competitive rates. Not surprisingly, they feel pressure to increase revenue while driving down expenses.
The good news: A focus on transforming branch channels can enable credit unions to simultaneously address changing member dynamics and create a more efficient operation to help drive value.

You just missed a classic Ron Paul tirade against Bernanke.
He claims that inflation is really at 9 percent, vs. Bernanke's estimate of 2 percent, so he says they should split the difference at 5 percent.
He held up an ounce of silver, and then brought up how much gasoline he could get with it.
He also argued for competing currencies.

May I suggest you refrain from using blocks letters as it is akin to shouting in internet language.
Please say 'I would like to ask' rather than 'I want to ask' which is considered rude.
Yes, you can say 'the kitchen window' or 'the window of the kitchen', but not the kitchen's window(object's object) or the bathroom's door.

We want you to throw big parties, tell us about it, and win big (big!) prizes from Le Creuset. (Find out more here.)
Finally the big day is here -- we give you arielleclementine's Big Feast! Catch up on her blueprint for the Science! themed feast, all about powdering olive oil (and bacon fat!), her adventures in spherification, and night-before prep.
Saturday (The Day of the Party!)
This is it! After weeks of planning, tons of shopping, and two solid days of cooking, it's finally happening: Dustin's Science!-themed surprise 30th birthday party! The day of the party, we still had plenty of prep to do:
Eeee! Henry and I ate unseemly amounts of cream cheese frosting after decorating Dustin's birthday cake.
Then we carbonated some grapes! Here's a video of me laying waste to some dry ice for this. Check out the video below (featuring Henry!):
Preparing the marinade and slicing the beef for the herbed beef skewers. We didn't combine the sliced beef with the marinade just then -- it only needs an hour to marinate.
Skewering cocktail sausages for our miniature corn dogs. Texas represent!
An hour and a half before the party- time to fry! First up: miniature sage funnel cakes, inspired by a dish at Barley Swine, a fantastic Austin restaurant.
Next in line for the fryer: mini corn dogs.
Last but not least, fried pickles. Fun fact: these are Dustin's favorite, and earned him the nickname "The Pickler."
We need something green. But that was not to be.
Checking the to-do list. We have time for a break!
Molly, back at home with Dustin, sent a surreptitious text to let us know they were on their way- time to grill the pork belly and beef skewers! Have you ever grilled pork belly? Crazy, crazy flare ups. I somehow managed not to completely incinerate it.
Helen lined up all the plates we would be using for the dinner, along with all of the components that didn't need to be kept hot or cold. The just-cooked meat and fried stuff was kept in the oven at 170 degrees -- the lowest it would go.
The last to-do! Putting together the petri dish course.
Here we go!
SURPRISE! Dustin thought he and Molly were coming over to babysit!
Henry didn't care much for the surprise, but Dustin liked it! And he said he had no idea what we'd been up to!
A toast! In test tubes, naturally. (They're hard to fill on account of all the foam!) Now we can eat!
The first course: Petri Dish. Blood orange gelée with a smear of local chevre, pulverized pistachios, droplets of meyer lemon juice and olive oil, micro peppermint leaves, and sea salt.
It was a hit! Seriously- I've never seen Henry lick his plate before.
The second course: Pipette. These turned out great! Fellow Food52er Oui, Chef's herbed beef skewers are insanely good, and the horseradish cream in the pipette worked perfectly. I don't know if people are going to be rushing out to buy pipettes for skewers, but it is a totally fun concept. You get the perfect amount of sauce without having to worry about people double-dipping in a communal bowl. I kid! But really, I think this is a concept worth repeating.
The third course: Pop Rocks. Korean Pork Belly Ssäm with pickled radish, short grain rice, and a sprinkling salt made with unflavored pop rocks, Japanese 7 spice, and sea salt.
You guys! This was amazing. Probably one of the most delicious and fun things I've ever prepared. That pork belly is brilliant anyway, but the pop rocks were SO. FUN. The spicy-sweet salt on top really complemented the pork, and you could hear the pop rocks popping in everyone's mouths around the table. It was a multi-sensory delight. I will definitely make it again- even if it's just for dinner with Andy and Henry!
Hooray! The first three courses were as good or better than I hoped they would be! Side note- I don't actually know what's happening in this picture, but I like it.
The fourth course: Flea Circus. Miniature corn dog with spicy mustard, fried pickles with homemade buttermilk ranch, and funnel cake with sage and powdered bacon fat (click the link to see a video of my first attempt to powder bacon fat!). Are you drooling yet? The pickles and ranch were my favorite, with the cocktail sausage corn dog coming in a close second (I used Helen's recipe for the batter). The funnel cake was good- the fried sage and bacon fat were amazing- but it lost its funnel cake-fluffiness during its hold time in the oven. It was still tasty, just much crispier than I had intended. I guess funnel cakes are best made à la minute!
The fifth course: Cheese Plate. I had to make the honey spheres (for topping the Iberico) table side, so I decided to make the powdered olive oil, which had been infused with garlic, at the table too. That way everybody could see the science-y transformation.
It worked! And it did so in spite of me completely abandoning the rigidly-precise spherification technique. I just watered down some honey, spooned in some sodium alginate, and mixed it up with a fork. The spheres were perfect orbs of liquid honey, encased in an ultra-thin membrane. So hooray for taking a shortcut and having it work out ok! Sad note about the carbonated grapes (as seen in our video here), though- they had lost their carbonation :/ I just assumed they would stay effervescent, but they didn't. If you're planning to try out this technique, it should probably be done right before you're planning to eat them- the grapes look really cool in the foggy bowl of dry ice anyway.
The sixth course: Periodic Table Cake. Molly made the cake, I decorated it, and we all devoured it. There's just nothing like a moist chocolate cake with cream cheese icing.
Cake face!
The final course: Miracle Berry. This course was my attempt to recreate the one Chris Jones created on Top Chef. Slice of meyer lemon, deconstructed cheesecake (no sugar) with graham cracker crumbles and blackberry segments, and Pellegrino with lemon and lime. It had to be the last course because the effects of the miracle berry can last up to two hours.
Oh boy was this fun! When I bought the miracle berry tablets, some of the reviewers said that they didn't work, so I was a bit worried. But they were amazing! The lemon was like an intense and very sweet orange. The cheesecake, which was just cream cheese folded with whipped cream, vanilla, and lemon juice, was also delicious. And the Pellegrino reminded me of a cherry limeade. Honestly though, just tasting the lime from the Pellegrino glass might have been the tastiest thing on the plate- it was one of the most delicious pieces of fruit I've ever had. If you're planning a miracle berry tasting party, make sure you've got a big sack of limes on hand!
And that, friends, was the dinner. It was an absolute blast, and the birthday boy seemed to really enjoy it. Looking back on it, I am sure this is the most involved meal I've ever cooked, and definitely one of the very best. I was really happy that I spent so much time planning and thinking about the timeline. It was really great to have all the cooking done ahead of time so I could just plate the next course as soon as we had finished the last one.
Huge, huge thanks to Helen, who is not pictured in any of the photos (sad face) because she tirelessly documented the whole process. No exaggeration- Helen took close to 1500 pictures over the course of two days! Thanks, Helen!!
Fun fact: After dinner, we geeked out by solving a series of science-themed puzzles that my husband, Andy, created, which culminated in the creation of an icosahedron that spelled out "Happy Birthday Dustin!"
Hooray for Dustin and Molly! We were so happy to get to celebrate Dustin's 30th birthday in such a grand fashion! I hope it was as fun for him as it was for me!
If you'd like to see more, we've put up an album of our 300 favorite pictures. Thanks for reading!
Le Creuset has generously offered to reward our Big Feasters for all their hard work, and as our first Big Feast, Arielle will win, in the color of her choice (flame, cherry, fennel, or cassis): a 4 1/2-quart round French oven, a 10 1/4-inch iron handle skillet, and a 2 3/4-quart precision pour pan. Pitch us your Big Feast at [email protected] for a chance to win $500 in Le Creuset booty.

Homer and Langley Collyer were brothers who lived in a Manhattan row house in Harlem in the early part of the 20th century. Their story is bizarre and illustrates the depths people will go to hold onto anything and everything.
The discovery of just how bad the Collyer brothers' hoarding was came to light in March 1947 when an anonymous person reported there was a dead body in the Collyer residence.
The authorities did not have an easy time gaining entrance to the home. They started by trying to remove tons of garbage from the front foyer, which consisted of newspapers, phonebooks, furniture, boxes, and other miscellaneous debris. Unsuccessful in their attempts, a patrolman broke a window on the second floor in order to gain entry. After climbing through junk for two hours, he found the body of the elder brother Homer among the boxes and trash. Missing from the home, however, was Langley, the younger of the two recluses.
The hunt for Langley began, and authorities searched for him as far away as Atlantic City. A disturbing realization took place three weeks later, unfortunately, when Langley's body was was found ten feet from his older brother's. Because of the vast amount of garbage in the house, his body wasn't unearthed until then. Langley had been crushed to death by one of his many booby-traps that he had made to deter people's entry into their palace of junk. Langley actually had died first. He was crushed while bringing food to his elder brother, who was blind. Langley fed Homer a diet of one hundred oranges per week to try and restore his sight. Believing that the diet of oranges would restore Homer's vision, Langley also saved every newspaper so that Homer could eventually read them when his sight returned.
Authorities eventually removed more than 100 tons of trash from the Collyer brothers' house. Some of the more unusual items included human pickled organs, the chassis of an old Model T, fourteen pianos (both grand and upright), hundreds of yards of unused silks and fabric, the folding top of a horse-drawn carriage, and more than 25,000 books.
To learn more about the Collyer brothers, read Frank Lidz's famous account in Ghosty Men: The Strange but True Story of the Collyer Brothers.

Tech Update
Single-Probe Double-Sheet Detector
Prime Controls, Inc., Dayton, OH, introduces the Pulser single-probe double-sheet detector that can operate in locations where space limits the use of dual-probe detectors. The Pulser features a newly designed single probe with a pulsed electromagnet that quickly samples ferrous alloy sheets without holding on to them like previous single-probe detectors using permanent magnets. The unit can detect sheets 30 percent thicker than can comparable double-sheet detectors, making it useful in a broader range of sheet-feeding applications.
The Pulser double-sheet detector comprises a sensor probe and a control unit. Four models, with different diameters and magnet strengths, can detect sheetmetal thickness from 0.01 to 0.25 in. The sensor probes, ruggedly constructed of stainless steel, have a built-in metal proximity detector, which allows the detector to turn off after thickness measurement, count sheets and detect that the last sheet has advanced.
The DS200 control unit features simple one-button calibration that automatically measures the thickness of a sample sheet, calculates the double thickness value and sets the reject threshold. An optional two-sample calibration process allows the control unit to detect and respond to variations in sheetmetal thickness as small as five percent.Prime Controls, Inc.: 866/435-8659; www.primecontrols.com

Tokyo fashion: Vera Wang to open a new store in Ginza
Tokyo fashion: Vera Wang to open a new store in Ginza
Sarah Deschamps, Michel Lebon and Lee Jay Walker
Modern Tokyo Times
Vera Wang is focused on expanding throughout Asia this year and her base in Japan will be in the exquisite fashion district of Ginza in Tokyo. Her first flagship store in trendy Tokyo will open in June this year. Also, her partnership with Hatsuko Endo means that things should take off rather quickly.
Ginza was a natural choice for Vera Wang because of the delectable fashion angle to this vibrant district in Tokyo. The bridal sector in this amazing city will certainly be reinvigorated when it comes to the exquisite side of amazing designs by Vera Wang. Therefore, the opening in Ginza is designed to pave the way for future expansion throughout Tokyo and this applies to new lines by Vera Wang.
She is known internationally for sublime couture bridesmaid gowns which highlight the creative nature of this fashionable lady. The same applies to her stunning wedding gown collections which highlight the deep passion of Vera Wang. Also, this trend setter in her field of expertise designs elegant outfits for female figure skaters. This is a natural correlation to her early career whereby she was a figure skater.
Vera Wang grew up in New York City where she was born in 1949 and she obtained a degree from Sarah Lawrence College in art history. From the age of six she began to do figure skating and this took her all the way to competing in the 1968 United States Figure Skating Championships. The turning point for Vera Wang turning to the fashion industry happened after failing to qualify for the United States Olympics team in figure skating. However, her passion for skating remains firmly entrenched and she stated that "Skating is multidimensional."
Turning to her fashion career then Vera Wang worked for Vogue for 17 years in the capacity of being a senior fashion editor, with this internationally famous company. This period served Vera Wang extremely well because of the abundant connections she made. Also, her own creativity and flair meant that she understood the high end fashion market and the richness of international boutiques. After leaving Vogue she became a design director for Ralph Lauren for two years and clearly both establishments served Vera Wang well.
The year 1990 would witness her own design salon in New York which was based in the Carlyle Hotel. Her bridal designs soon began to woo the rich and famous because many famous individuals had their wedding gowns designed by Vera Wang. This applies to Mariah Carey, Ivanka Trump, Chelsea Clinton, Sharon Stone, Alicia Keys, Jennifer Lopez, Victoria Beckham, Uma Thurman, and many others, including Avril Lavigne. Also, Michelle Obama was seen in her evening wear and this sums up the high octane nature of her stunning designs.
In time Vera Wang entered new markets based on fragrance, jewelry, shoes, luggage, eyewear, tabletop, fine papers, bedding, and flowers. This complements her creativity and search for new areas to expand. Therefore, while the bridal sector and designing for female figure skaters is internationally known alongside other fashion clothes – it is clear that you have many angles to Vera Wang.
Tokyoites will soon witness the exquisite nature of Vera Wang and given the creativity of Tokyo then clearly new thought patterns may emerge within future designs. Ginza is a natural base for such a trend setter in her area of expertise. Therefore, in all likelihood, the venture should soon witness new lines entering her flagship store in Ginza in the near future.

As the oldest resort destinations in the United States and one of the first such destinations to offer beach "bathing" in the ocean, Palm Beach offers a wide variety of beaches. Palm Beach is the Eastern most point in the state of Florida and protrudes out into the warm waters of the Gulf Stream, which is comes up from the Caribbean. The result is that the water here is a crystal clear blue and turquoise which stays warm year round. For many decades, the beaches of Palm Beach were considered to be medicinal. Here are some beach recommendations:
My favorite beach to relax, John D MacArthur Beach State Park, is nestled on Singer Island and is the only state park in Palm Beach County. It is an environmental treasure, featuring two miles of pristine beach and swimming, snorkeling and fishing in the clear blue waters of the Atlantic. Other amenities include a nature center, gift shop, children's playground, nature trails, kayak rentals, and picnicking facilities. On April 21st, enjoy an afternoon of Blue Grass as Nathan Rich and the "Untold Riches" bring their foot-stompin' and hand-clappin' music to the park's amphitheater.
For a beach with more activities and infrastructure, the Lake Worth Municipal Beach is one of the most popular beaches for locals, both for the young and the young at heart. The 1922 Lake Worth Casino and Beach Complex, which will re-opened after a multi-million dollar restoration on March 01st, 2013. The charming facility, which is unique for South Florida, offers a new oceanfront park, new restrooms and picnic facilities, restaurants, ice cream parlor, beach shop and regularly scheduled events and activities.

UPDATE: Jim Lahey's new book My Pizza hit shelves last week (read on below for his no-knead pizza dough recipe and why we love it). To celebrate, Clarkson Potter is giving away 12 copies of the book to our readers!
To win a copy, just tell us your dream pizza topping combination in the comments below by Monday, March 26th at noon EST. (For example, Lahey likes things like walnuts and shiitake; Thai eggplant and bonito flakes -- go wild!) We'll pick 12 winning pizzas that wow us and make us hungry.
We have winners! Congrats to za'atar, gingerroot, freida2020, bebe le perche, Carly DeFelippo, MandT, seasonalfeast, PepLV, yenyen, Burf, Amypineapple,and Heena -- we'll be emailing you to collect your addresses, and then My Pizza will be yours! Thanks to everyone for sharing your dream pizzas. You succeeded in making us very, very hungry.
Every week, FOOD52's Senior Editor Kristen Miglore is unearthing recipes that are nothing short of genius.
The no-knead bread revolution finally comes to pizza -- and it's even more revolutionary.
- Kristen
The internet got its first viral recipe in 2006, when Mark Bittman brought Jim Lahey's technique for No-Knead Bread to light in the New York Times. (It proved far more useful than the Bacon Explosion, the internet's second viral recipe.)
Not-kneading tore through the blogosphere and, unlike the Explosion, it stuck -- seeding something of a revolution. (Have you tried it? I bet you have!)
Its instant and lasting popularity is not because kneading is so strenuous (it'll never cramp your biceps like whipping egg whites will), but because it requires an understanding. You must form a relationship with your dough, find your rhythm, and sense when it's feeling too dry, or leathery, or loose (and how to fix it).
These are worthy and satisfying pursuits, but they give cooks enough pause that bread-baking was once reserved for dedicated hobbyists. People even got really into bread machines there for awhile, which happily seem to have gone the way of the milkshake mixer and the grapefruit knife.
So when Bittman urged, "Let time do the work," we listened. And he wasn't kidding -- after mixing up your flour, salt, yeast, and water, you just flop the dough around a couple times and wait till it's time to bake. 18 or so hours and a smidgen of yeast will have done all the rising, relaxing, and gluten-forming for you.
And thus Bittman and Lahey brought homemade, machine-less bread (and confidence) back to the home cook. But still, Lahey's pizza dough was a different animal -- it used a lot more yeast for a short, furious rise. Slowly developing nuanced flavor in his crust wasn't a priority to him when My Bread came out in 2009. Back then, he was using the dough Roman-style at Sullivan Street Bakery, as nothing more than a thin, crackery base for more flavorful layers of toppings like shaved cauliflower and green olives.
But ever the mad, tinkering genius, he couldn't stop there. In late 2009, he opened the elegant pizzeria Co. and, this March, he's releasing a new book called My Pizza, with a newly refined version of his classic long-rise, no-knead technique. "The lesson here is understanding that without fermentation the dough won't be that interesting," Lahey explains. He even extensively walks us through tricks for getting good pizza from electric ovens, oddly placed broilers, etc. (Hear that, Steingarten?)
Not-kneading pizza is even simpler than not-kneading bread, if you can believe that. You just mix your dough together the night before your pizza party, leave it in a warm spot to bloat into a slightly tacky mass, then stretch it into fragrant, bubble-pocked disks. Like his bread, it's the wet dough that makes for a steamy, puffed interior with a chewy, crackling surface. It may or may not make round pizzas, but Lahey doesn't care.
From this noble base, the book is filled with curious toppings that are streamlined and smart -- not California-style wacky for the sake of wacky. Charred thai eggplant is garnished with bonito flakes, clumps of shiitake top a walnut onion puree, and, in the Popeye Pie, three cheeses are tucked beneath a mountain of spinach leaves.
And then there's his pepperoni, which he says "has caused servers at the restaurant untold moments of awkwardness" as they're forced to tell customers that this pizza has none of the pepperoni they know, only red pepper puree (salted with fish sauce!), lamb merguez, mint and pecorino. He's not a liar, he's just being literal. Pepperoni means peppers.
If we revolutionaries have learned anything from the internet, it's that we'd best listen to Jim Lahey. He'll probably be bored by us, but here we went with his classic Margherita Pie, and it was awfully good.
Note: The recipe as published doesn't recommend freezing the dough. However, when asked about this, Lahey alluded to other, more advanced biological capabilities we have in freezing, and as such pizza dough should present no problem.

Notes on using multiple git repositories in a build. Having a good way to do this is a requirement for implementing a clean layered approach.
Collected from various emails:
- Looks, feels and behaves like a standard git repo for the end user, no special tools needed.
- Can be checked out by the end user with one easy command.
- Contains full history for all the components in bisectable commits.
- The user can submit changes back easily with standard git workflow.
- tool should make it easy to add or change the pull URL for a repo.
Git Submodules
The good
- its part of git, no extra tools, languages, etc are required to be installed.
- locks submodules to a specific commit, so that subprojects can proceed at their own pace, while the superproject can move them forward as they are verified, and tested.
The bad
- Regarding git submodules, I haven't used them in a couple of years but the last time I did, the workflow was terrible. It kept rolling back submodule versions because someone forgot to do a full "git submodule update" and then did a "git commit -a" in the superproject; we were forever forgetting to commit and push the superproject after changing submodules; it seemed to delight in finding new ways to create merge conflicts; etc.
- http://book.git-scm.com/5_submodules.html (pitfalls, about 2/3 way through page)
- Submodule was committed and pushed, but superproject wasn't committed and/or pushed, so other developers kept using old submodule.
- Superproject was committed and pushed, but subproject wasn't committed and/or pushed. As a result other developers couldn't clone/update.
- Submodules are checked out as detached HEADs. I can't count the number of times I accidentally committed on top of that damned HEAD and had to go back later to create a new branch and cherry-pick my change over.
- If you accidentally commit on top of the detached HEAD, "git submodule update" will silently eat your changes. This led to people being afraid to run "git submodule update", which made the following problem more frequent.
- Developer 1 changed subproject A and properly pushed the superproject. Developer 2 did a "git pull" on the superproject but not a "git submodule update". Developer 2 then changed subproject B, committed, pushed, and did a "git commit -a" in the superproject not realizing this rolls back the superproject version of submodule A.
- The record of subproject revisions, and to a lesser extent the .gitmodules file, are essentially hot-spots for unrelated changes, just like the old checksums.ini. It just means more merge commits if people pull instead of rebase.
- I don't know if this is still true, but git just couldn't handle conflicts in the subproject revisions. It would abort the merge, hard,
- Most of the problems would be solved by rigorously using the tools the way they were designed, but I didn't meet anyone who was capable of doing this to the extent required, and recovering from problems was painful and time consuming.
Google Repo
- requires python
- very capable tool, allows submodules to be specified by branch or by hash
- Most projects are using XML configuration, but it seems to support using git submodules as well, with fewer pitfalls than using git submodules natively
- Tied to Gerrit (code review tool) for upload, i.e. plain "git push" not supported
- https://github.com/evilchelu/braid
- written in ruby
- Pull script: http://jrz.cbnco.com/git/?p=toastix/toastix.git;a=blob;f=update-proj.sh
- Push script: http://jrz.cbnco.com/git/?p=toastix/toastix.git;a=blob;f=push.sh
- Sample config: http://jrz.cbnco.com/git/?p=toastix/toastix.git;a=blob;f=projects.list
- half-baked pair of shell scripts
- uses flat file for configuration
- requires different config file for committers and non-committers

Le Métier de Beauté : Artistes Lip Kaleidoscope
Its from the Le Cirque Fall 2010 collection and is called Les Artistes. Bought from Selfridges, I think it cost £66, Le Metier has momentarily disappeared from the Selfridges website so I can't give you the exact price (initially I was horrified but my makeup buddy has told me they will be back there soon).
The silver, mirrored palette contains three glosses and one lipstick. You can wear alone or layer the shades to create your own custom look. I find all the shades are neutral and extremely flattering.
Although I am not a fan of glosses, Le Metiers are one of my favourites due to the colours and a lightweight texture that is barely sticky/tacky. Their lipsticks have great pigmentation and last extremely well.
The shades are top to bottom: beige nude gloss, peach nude gloss
Shimmery peach with a touch of pink lipstick, and sheer golden shimmered red gloss.
What ever pictures I could show you will ultimately be a disservice because I cannot capture the effect that the layering brings. You would think that layering 4 shades would give a heavy look but they seem to meld with one another and still manage to feel lightweight.
Swatches L-R are the colours from top to base, I did one swipe for each colour.
The colours layered, started from top to base
This is so much more than I thought it would be, the colours have a beautiful luminosity, the look is delicate and fresh and I feel that bit better about my look when I wear this.

I think you had it sold to me when you said *luminosity* and *delicate* - it is something that I strive for in my makeup and rarely achieve. I am not sure if it is lack of application or wrong choice of colours, but I am drawn to these shades which have a warmer hue than is usual for me. Thankyou. Jan xReplyDelete
I am not overly keen on lip products in palette form but this does look very pretty and the packaging is fun and different to standard palettes. I like the look of the 3rd shade and also the combined look.ReplyDelete
I totally agree that contrary to what you would expect when layering 4 colours, it actually feels light and doesn't look in the least bit overdone. The swatches look very pretty too.ReplyDelete
I really hope they're not missing from the website too long. I am so gutted they're not available during the free delivery period as I quite fancied getting Echo blush.
Jane x
Beautiful! I played around a bit with it on Thursday at Selfridge's and loved the way it felt and looked; the price though, and the lack of portability stopped me...for now :-)))ReplyDelete
Nina x
Hi Jan,ReplyDelete
I could do with a bit of luminosity to my skin! I like this a lot more than I thought I would, I can see myself finishing this off which is a novelty given the amount of stuff I have x
Hi Meeta,
I know what you mean, I do like to be able to take something in my bag incase I need to reapply during the day, its a shame that these shades don't seem to be in their regular line up.
Hi Jane,
I really want Echo as well, do you know if they are putting out a spring collection, I know we didn't get that lovely winter eye Kaleidoscope here and don't think I have heard anything about what they are bringing out?
Hi Nina,
There are certain brands where I make an exception for price :)
Mind you after your mammoth shopping spree in your comment to Jane's post you probably are runnning out of space for all your lovely makeup ;) x
I love the look of these palettes. I saw them for the first time on youtube the other day and couldn't believe how chic they looked. Definitely going to check this one out. Thanks for sharing.ReplyDelete
oh wow they look beautiful. I love the final layered effect as well.ReplyDelete
Hi Alicia,ReplyDelete
They do look very swish I have to say, of course now I want more ;)
Hi Jen,
The layered effect is very unique, I think these will be really nice colours for spring.
Hi, I find it ironic that you live where LMdB is no longer available and your site is the one I most frequent for accurate swatches. I wanted to drop you a line and tell you how helpful your posts have been to me, thanks!ReplyDelete
Hi Hopelessly Devoted To Makeup,ReplyDelete
Thank you so much, thats so nice to hear! I am really hoping they return to the UK, I think they want to but I imagine it will likely be an online site, at any rate I'll keep the hope and keep adding to my Le Metier wish list ;)

Former NASCAR driver headlines Maine Sports Hall of Fame inductees
Newburg native Ricky Craven one of 10 inductees
Former race car driver Ricky Craven headlined the list of 10 new inductees to the Maine Sports Hall of Fame.
The annual induction ceremony was held Sunday afternoon at the Augusta Civic Center.
Craven, who grew up in Newburg, is currently an auto racing analyst for ESPN. "Maine is home," he said. "So to be recognized by your friends and family back home, it's pretty valuable."
Also inducted Sunday, Dr. Douglas Brown, former Secretary of Defense William Cohen, Paula Doughty, Gary Fifield, John Robinson, Robert Russo, Paul Vachon, Manchester Wheeler, and John Wolfgram.
"When you're able to stop and reflect and you look at the group you're with from 20,000 feet and you see their accomplishments are amazing, it's an honor to be associated with them," Craven said of his fellow inductees.
Craven is the third race car driver to be inducted.

Missing inmate returned to Summit County Jail
summit daily news
An inmate who took some time off from his sentence at the Summit County Jail after being let out temporarily on work release has returned, officials confirmed Wednesday.
Ramon Soto turned himself in to the jail at approximately 8 p.m. Tuesday night after disappearing for 24 hours. A warrant was issued for his arrest Tuesday afternoon when he failed to return to the jail after being let out on a work-release program the previous day.
Soto, 35, is now facing an additional charge of escape, a class 3 misdemeanor.
If convicted, he could face a sentence of six months in jail and/or a $750 fine.
He is currently serving a one-year sentence for a DUI conviction in Lake County.
He will reportedly lose his work-release privileges in addition to the escape charge.
It is unclear whether Soto gave a reason for his failure to return on schedule, but officials said he was concerned about the consequences he would face when he came back to the jail.
