WALTHAM, Mass. (courtesy Framingham State sports information) – The Brandeis University softball team managed a split with visiting Framingham State University today on Marcus Field. In a twinbill originally scheduled for Framingham, the Judges took the opener, 9-2,but suffered a 6-2 loss in the nightcap. Brandeis improves to 17-16, while FSU falls to 5-15 overall.
In game one, Brandeis jumped out to a 4-0 lead in the bottom of the first inning as they capitalized on a pair of Rams errors to score three unearned runs. Senior Carly Schmand (Bethesda, Md./Walt Whitman) reached on an error with one out and scored on junior Brittany Grimm's two-run homer to left. Classmate Courtney Kelley (Leicester, Mass./notre Dame Acad.) followed with a base hit and rookie Melissa Nolan (Windsor, Conn./Loomis Chaffee) walked to give the Judges runners on first and second. After a groundout, Danielle Lavallee (Sutton, Mass./Notre DAme Acad.) reached on a Framingham error that allowed Kelley and Nolan to score. Framingham State starting pitcher Alysia Morrissette (Ware, Mass.) recorded a strikeout to end the inning and allow no further damage.
The Judges extended their lead to 6-0 in the bottom of the second as two runs scored on another Framingham fielding miscue. Junior Marianne Specker (So. Windsor, Conn./PTA) and Grimm each singled and Kelley followed with a single that was misplayed by the Rams outfield allowing Kelley to advance to second and Specker and Grimm to score.
The Rams got two back in the top of third on as they loaded the bases on a pair of walks and a base hit from Taylor Ezold (Westfield, Mass.). Senior Andrea DiTerlizzi (Shrewsbury, Mass.) drove in the Rams first run with a single to right and Yaya Faria (Acton, Mass.) plated a run on an RBI groundout.
The Rams loaded the bases in the top of fifth inning with no outs, but Brandeis starting pitcher Caroline Miller (Harriton, Pa./)worked out of the jam inducing a pair of groundouts and picking up a strikeout to keep the Rams off the board in the frame.
The Judges added a pair of runs in the third on an RBI double by Schmand and a single run in the sixth to reach the final margin of 9-2. Miller picked up the victory tossing five innings allowing two runs, both earned, on four hits with four walks and three strikeouts. Melissa Nolan came on in the sixth and tossed two innings of scoreless relief with four strikeouts.
Grimm picked up three hits and two RBI in game one for the Judges, while Schmand and Kelley, who picked up a pair of hits, each drove in two runs.
Morrissette picked up the loss going the distance allowing nine runs, four earned, on 13 hits with five strikeouts. Ezold and DiTerlizzi each picked up a pair of hits in game one for the Rams.
In game two, Faria started on the mound and was outstanding in the circle as she picked up her fourth win of the season. Faria allowed two unearned runs in the game on just four hits with six strikeouts and three walks.
The Rams took a 2-0 lead in the bottom of the first as Ezold walked with one out, advanced on a DiTerlizzi single, and scored from third on a wild pitch. Junior Alyssa Shea (Lakeville, Mass.) singled home DiTerlizzi for the Rams other run in the first.
Brandeis cut the Rams lead in half with an unearned run in the bottom of the third, but the Rams extended the lead back to two (3-1) in the top of the fourth when Faria stole home on the back end of double steal.
Framingham State tacked on three more in the top of the fifth to extend their lead to 6-1. DiTerlizzi lined an RBI single to through the left side and Faria reached on an error that allowed the Rams second run of the inning to score. DiTerlizzi then stole home to put the Rams up by five.
That was all Faria would need as she held the Judges scoreless in sixth and allowed an unearned run in the seventh as Lavallee scored on a wild pitch to record the victory.
Casey Ducinski (Duxbury, Mass./Duxbury) picked up the loss for the Judges allowing six runs, three earned, on six hits. Ducinski struckout ten Rams and only issued two walks.
DiTerlizzi picked up a pair of hits in game two with an RBI and two runs scored, while Ezold picked up a hit and scored a pair of runs.
The Rams return to action on Saturday as they travel to Westfield State for a pair of MASCAC games beginning at noon, while the Judges host Eastern Connecticut in a pair of non-conference games on Sunday beginning at 1 p.m.

Ice Cube is a scary man. Even when he has a good day and doesn't have to use his AK, the guy is terrifying. Jimmy Kimmel had Ice Cube read things that couldn't possibly be construed as aggressive and Cube still brought his sneer.
Just the thought of Ice Cube complimenting me on my hair makes me fear for my life, but then I remember the existence of the below photo and feel better.

If you think of your body as a clockwork machine, hormones are the fuel that helps each part function the way it is supposed to. With a pretty amazing variety of hormones secreting and circulating through our bodies, they keep functions like metabolism and reproduction going the right way. However, the slightest of imbalances in hormone secretion and circulation can throw your body off guard, and cause multiple complications, including ones that hamper your weight, fertility and coping with stress mechanisms.
Matching steps with changing lifestyles, we must also update our diet regularly at each stage of our lives. And if you thought you could shrug off hormonal imbalances just because you are young, well you are wrong. A growing number of young adults, especially students, often have to resort to taking assignment help online due to illnesses mostly contracted as a result of hormonal imbalances. This post thus talks about the 12 foods that can help restore your hormonal balance, leading you towards a healthier and happier lifestyle.
12 super-foods you need for balancing your hormones
Around 50 hormones constitute our entire bodies, but a few are more important than others. The essential hormones control important functions like reproduction, weight, and stress factors for our bodies. Read on to know the three primary types of hormones and the foods that can help bring about a balance in them.
► Thyroid hormones
Responsible for energy and metabolism functions, thyroid hormones include calcitonin, T3, and T4. The pituitary gland secretes TSH that regulates thyroid levels in the body. Sometimes, an inability to create thyroid hormones, iodine deficiency and autoimmunity issues may hamper thyroid production, and attack thyroid tissue. Here are 4 wonder foods that help keep thyroid levels in check.
1. Seaweed
Ever wondered why the people from the Far East have lesser hormonal imbalance-related health issues? It is because they have a steady flow of seaweed or sea vegetables in their diet. Eating seaweed like wakame, dulse, nori, kombu and hijiki will help you load up on iodine, which helps in creating thyroid hormones in our body. Time for a visit to that sushi place round the corner, eh?
2. Spinach
Spinach has tonnes of iron. It enhances the thyroid functions of the body, and helps in producing thyroid hormones. With a fair share of vitamin B content, spinach can also be a ready cure for fatigue and sluggishness. Take a cue from Popeye, the sailor-man, and load up on your daily spinach intake!
3. Brazil nuts
Loaded with selenium, two brazil nuts a day can keep thyroid issues at bay! Selenium, an antioxidant, works to protect the thyroid gland and convert T4 into T3, the active thyroid hormone. What's more, they taste awesome as well!
4. Quinoa
Almost all celebrity diets contain quinoa, and rightly so. An excellent source of minerals, protein and fibre, quinoa helps in keeping up the pace in your bowels. It is also a fabulous source of zinc, a mineral that helps in manufacturing thyroid hormones. Bookmark those quinoa recipes today!
► Reproductive hormones
Reproductive hormones like oestrogen, progesterone and testosterone regulate our reproduction, libido, and organ growth. Apart from puberty or menopause, poor diet or lifestyle choices and exposure to toxins can often create an imbalance in our reproductive hormones. Here are 4 foods that can help regulate that.
5. Organic tempeh
"Any great nutritionist would swear by their miso bowls", says Norah Hopkins, senior subject matter expert. A mother of two, she suffered from hormonal imbalances that led to reproductive complications, and now she's all about organic tempeh. Recounting her experience, she says that beta-glucuronidase enzymes in miso and tempeh help to combat oestrogen-related cancers and are rich in probiotics, which are essential in balancing the oestrogen hormone.
6. Flax seeds
Flax seeds contain antioxidants. Hence, it should be a part of any healthy diet. However, for people with a hormonal imbalance, it can be the magic food that cures it all. Flax seeds are a superb source of phytoestrogens that help in the excretion of excess oestrogen from our bodies. Flax seeds are great in combating other hormone-related issues like breast cancer, osteoporosis, and menopausal symptoms as well. Quick tip: do not refrigerate flax seeds, or they lose their antioxidant properties!
7. Broccoli
Broccolis are rich in glucosinolates, a type of sulphur compound that eliminates and neutralises carcinogens. Additionally, broccoli also has isothiocyanates and indole-3-carbinol (I3C) that are great for preventing oestrogen-related cancers. To top it all off, broccolis are high in fibre, which helps eliminate excess reproductive hormones through regular bowel movements.
8. Wild salmon
Loaded in vitamin D, salmons help manufacture our reproductive hormones. They also increase testosterone levels, and power up bone health and immunity of our bodies. Salmon has plenty of omega-3 fatty acids, which are proven to reduce breast cancer and prostate cancer risks. So don't hesitate to order that appetising salmon entree the next time you decide to dine out!
► Adrenal hormones
Adrenal hormones like cortisol, adrenaline, aldosterone and DHEA help us manage stress. Insomnia, poor diet choices and prolonged exposure to emotional and physical stress lead to adrenal hormone imbalances. The following 4 foods can bring adrenal hormones back on track.
9. Eggs
One of the most versatile of foods, eggs are awesome in so many ways! Choline vitamins from eggs help our bodies manufacture neurotransmitter acetylcholine which keeps the nervous system, memory and brain health in check. The anti-inflammatory omega-3 fatty acids from eggs protect and support the brain in its normal functions, keeping stress levels in check as well. Always remember to pick organic or farm-hatched ones to bring egg-scellent health your way!
10. Kale
Kale gives you vitamin A, B and C. This dark and leafy vegetable works wonders for keeping up your adrenaline levels. That, in turn, keeps nervous systems running smoothly. This antioxidant-enriched veggie is a great weapon against stress, bringing down the damage levels remarkably. If you think kale smoothies are taking it too far, try pasta or salad recipes with the same!
11. Bell peppers
Vitamin C is essential for the functions of the adrenal glands. Bell peppers have tonnes of them! Our adrenals usually store up on vitamin C reserves and stress makes us use most of it. Bell peppers replenish vitamin C levels for our adrenal glands. Bell peppers also have loads of vitamin B to offer that energises us, and keep a check on our stress levels. The best thing is, bell peppers go with any diet, and taste yum too!
12. Avocado
Adrenal hormones are prone to recurring issues due to fluctuating blood sugar levels, and too much sweet intake hinders the functions of the adrenal glands. Avocados help combat the rising blood sugar levels. They are loaded with healthy fats that support our nervous systems. Top that with a healthy dose of vitamin B5 to handle stress like a pro, and you have got a winner among the veggies, right here! Indulge in that guac platter all you like, for avocados are friends for your adrenal hormones.
Parting words
One look at cooking channels on YouTube will tell you that eating healthy can have a super-tasty twist too! From quinoa piecrusts to energising kale smoothies, there's a lot you can do with the healthy, hormone-balancing foods listed above. Include the 12 foods in your diet, and you will never have to worry about hormonal imbalance, ever again! Here's wishing you a happier and healthier life ahead!

Apollo Victoria Theatre, London. Saturday 10th September, 2016.
'Wicked', based on the novel by Gregory Maguire, is fast approaching its tenth anniversary. In preparation, a brilliant anniversary cast has been selected, including the phenomenal Rachel Tucker as Elphaba and the hugely talented Suzie Mathers as Glinda; the two leading ladies have some of the very best West End vocals that I've heard in recent or distant shows. I've seen 'Wicked' four times now, but I resisted writing one of my 'Lasting Impressions' reviews because it was announced that Rachel Tucker would be returning to the West End after a run on Broadway- so I knew I'd be going again! My last review was on 'Funny Girl'; a show which is brilliant in its selective approach to West End style. By comparison, 'Wicked' is the reverse; 100% West End glory, through and through…and through.
Let's start with music and lyrics. Stephen Schwartz is responsible for both and he has succeeded in bringing into being tunes for every facet of the human heart (well, almost, it seems). The music, like the vocals which bring the beautiful lyrics to life, are very much the jewels in the crown of this show- with 'Defying Gravity' being an inspired selection for the closing of the first act. Tunes like 'Popular' are fun and playful while the vibrant and accosting contributions from the ensemble add oodles of atmosphere at just the right moments. Not only are the songs hugely catchy and memorable, they are gloriously entertaining; swelling and bopping in turn before channeling some true diva delivery for the well known and much loved Elphaba numbers. The music of 'Wicked' is an impressive, beautiful success, Mr. Schwartz.
The production is likewise a glowing example of West End grandeur. The set functions beautifully both as a spectacle backdrop and a functioning array of levels and appearing/ disappearing set pieces. With cogs and mechanical whirring visible throughout, we are openly invited to see the inner workings of Oz. The mechanical Wizard is surprisingly intimidating and is brilliantly constructed- there is a definite sense of West End-ian 'no expense spared' about him. Likewise, the dragon is a fantastic mechanical visual, with its ominous tendency to become animated just as things start to go downhill for Elphaba at an alarming pace; coupled with the smoke and soaring score, it's a master class in atmosphere. The clever mechanics enabling the visual masterpiece in the breath-stealing 'Defying Gravity' is one of the most winning aspects of this production; it's utterly West End in its drama and its ability to inspire total awe. The set for 'Wicked' provides great evidence of 'Wicked"s place as one of the most pure and unmistakably West End productions; it is a solid, quality, well-conceived and beautifully realised West End sight to see.
As for costumes, 'Priscilla, Queen of the Desert' retains the crown for 'most outlandish and mind boggling designs' yet 'Wicked' is very much a major contender. Glinda's gowns are positively Disney and are therefore, I assume, coveted by every little girl in attendance. Elphaba's final gown is famously intricate and beautiful- no simple little black dress there, for sure! The school garb is twee and stylised, allowing for Elphaba's more basic, hap-hazard version to stand out as much as her pretty green hue while Madame Morrible has some of the very best costumes; Joan Collins, circa 'Dynasty', eat your heart out! The costumes worn by the ensemble (who are masters of quick-changing) are fabulous, glorious and stunning all at once; definitely other worldly to fit the narrative but also incredibly classy- those costumes make me want to begin a career as a member of the 'Wicked' ensemble… Damn my utter lack of co-ordination and singing ability! Bravo Susan Hilferty, you are my costuming hero.
As for the cast…what can I say? I've never appreciated an ensemble more than I did for this show. I am of course aware of the many brilliant talents of ensembles, yet those in the 'Wicked' gang cannot be missed and will not be designated the back seats; they open the show with a gorgeous chorus of ominous claims, their voices are repeatedly called upon to adorn the narrative progress, they accompany the orchestra in accompanying the protagonists and they finish the show with such powerful force and thoroughly West-End-ian belting, that the ribs of the stall patrons positively vibrate with the sheer power of it. That's even before mentioning the fact that the one-line- each, awarded to certain members of the ensemble, are in and of themselves a millisecond of thorough-bred West End vocals…no wonder the sound of the chorus made my chest hurt. Top quality no matter how big the role; how very West End. Then of course I have to mention the slick and sublime choreography (James Lynn Abbott)- what's not to love about an ensemble as talented as this? Well done, 'Wicked' team, this show is a glittering example of how to make every single performer stand out for their moment of glory.
Elphaba. One of Musical Theatre's greatest characters and who better to play her than the longest running Elphaba, Rachel Tucker? To comment on Rachel Tucker's performance, I've set myself strict yet undivulged limits…wish me luck, dear reader.
Vocally, Rachel Tucker is an absolute show-stopper. What has come to be known as 'The Tucker Growl' amongst fans is now something that I wait with bated breath to hear…and she did it! It was, needless to say, very special. She's a belter alright, and yet she still sweetly caresses the more tender numbers and is every bit as skilled and talented in making her breathless, restrained lines as gripping as her big, magnificent moments. Tucker's Elphaba has the dead-pan comic moments completely under her spell, making her reactions in 'Popular' one of my favourite things to see in the show; equally, Tucker absolutely nails the inexperienced green girl at her first party scene- that dancing…oh, that dancing… Tucker takes you on Elphaba's journey in a way which makes you lose track of time and place; your focus is that roller coaster of ups and downs pummelling what is ultimately a very lovable character. Tucker is a highly evocative actress, a supremely talented vocalist and an all round stellar performer. Her performances of 'The Wizard and I' is uplifting, endearing and vocally flawless while 'I'm Not That Girl' and 'As Long as You're Mine' are touching and tear-jerking. In the same vein, her renditions of 'Defying Gravity' and 'No Good Deed' are phenomenal each and every time- I don't know how she manages that, but I remain in grateful awe after seeing it done four times in real life and countless times on YouTube (apologies- we fans are grateful for those recordings, even if they are cheeky!) So, did I stick to my self-restrictions, dear reader? No. Of course not!
I loved Louise Dearman's Glinda and she retains the title for 'most chaotically and exhaustingly (in the entertaining way) bouncy character in a musical'. That said, Suzie Mathers was fantastic- that girl has some powerful pipes, for sure. I'm astounded to find that 'Phantom' does not appear anywhere in her cast blurb, such is the glory and power of her voice. Her Glinda is surprisingly gritty at times, which I like- and I'm very much appreciative of her amazing range as well as her tear-jerkingly beautiful harmonies with one Ms. Tucker. Lauren James Ray was wonderful as Nessarose- very, very touching as the wheelchair bound sister desperate for connection; her rendition of 'We Deserve Each Other' was beautiful. Fiyero, played by Oliver Savile also had some impressive pipes. He was also charismatic, funny and bravely sporting possibly the tightest Fiyero costume that the West End has ever seen. Oliver Savile made a perfect Fiyero and I believed every bit of his torment as much as his cheek- 'Wicked' casting never fails, it seems.
My point is this: 'Wicked' is a 'belter' musical; in other words, it's a feast for the ears as well as the eyes; it's utterly, totally, thoroughly, quintessentially West End in both style and substance. It oozes quality and parades its cast like no other show; it gives folks like me lots and lots of musically-induced shivers which is, after all, one of the greatest things about musicals for musical lovers. What's so special is that every cast member has pipes and unlike in other shows, they really do get the opportunity to be heard-even if it is brief, it is a moment of real glory. The visuals are gripping and grand while the sounds are well and truly glorious. I can't think of any other show which is more West End from every angle, in every category; hop on a bus, train, plane or broomstick and get yourself to the Apollo Victoria London…and try to get there before the fabulous Ms. Tucker departs in January 2017!

World Ventures
Get Ready To Rock Your Next Convention
This Location Rocks
Where do you hold a high-energy, weekend-long event for more than 6,500 people? And, what if this event is an over-the-top theatrical production including huge backdrops and an energy that's more rock concert than convention? If you're World Ventures, a popular vacation and entertainment club, you look no further than Allen, Texas.
On October 25-27, more than 6,500 enthusiastic World Ventures representatives packed
Allen Event Center
for a motivational conference. During this event, attendees received stimulating presentations in the form of short performances complete with theatrical lighting and stage settings.
Rock Star Treatment
The staff at Allen Event Center literally rolled out the red carpet for this group and put on their best rock-star performance for this crowd. Putting on a full-scale production of this size is quite a feat. It requires a lot of space with every inch of Allen Event Center being utilized. All four locker rooms and two star dressing rooms were used by the performers for their grand costume changes and the back of house loading area and rear parking lot transformed into a staging area for the over-sized backdrops that graced the stage.
With a full operations crew complete with heavy equipment and lifts, the World Ventures rock stars didn't even need roadies. Allen Event Center crews helped with set up and tear down as well as the audiovisual display that was so integral to this production. The building's wide concourse turned into a booth-filled market where attendees could purchase event shirts, caps and related gear.
Rocking the Night Away
Like any famous rock star, our World Ventures celebs like a good party. Good thing the staff at
The Courtyard by Marriott
are great hosts. After a full weekend of motivational sessions, hundreds of revelers headed next door and filled the ballroom at the Courtyard in their Halloween-best to end the weekend with a bang.

So, what is That Girl Thing all about? And why now?
It has taken me a very long time to pluck up the courage to write this blog, but now that the dust is settling on my total life reset, I'm ready to share.
When my babies were born, I was well aware that I might be affected by the thing that many pregnant women dread, post natal depression. And, just as my own Mama predicted, I was. It happened differently with both children, and wiped me out for two years both times. I won't lie, it was horrendous. I'll go into more detail in the posts to follow, find them under Wellbeing.
So why now? My youngest is 4! Well, after the initial PND induced fog had cleared, I also lost my business and livelihood during the recession, and then decided to leave my husband. It's a long story, and one I will be sharing, but yes, I've been a busy girl!
I am also a very lucky girl. My ex (RB) and I have a fantastic relationship now, and we are one of success stories of amicable separation. This is my second reason for writing. I am very proud of my decision to call time on our marriage, and doubly proud of how we have both dealt with it – but it hasn't been easy. There have been lots of compromises, bitten tongues and tolerance on both parts. We are now at the stage where we are both open to meeting new partners, this is the next step in our journey as co-parents, and one that I hope will continue to be easy and open. If nothing else, it'll be interesting.
And then there is the horror of realising that I am now a 36 year old single woman, who might need to get naked in front of a new man at some point. RB and I got together early 2004 – twelve years of easy street! You get lazy, I'm sure you know what I mean. It scary! I have now idea of The Rules?? Well, I'm about to find out about the new world of dating, sex and love. It is both exciting and terrifying in equal measure…
That Girl Thing is about loving the girl/woman within. Putting her first (sometimes) and respecting her for all her awesomeness. After all, a happy mama equals happy babas. So, today is the day. Today is the day that I took my last antidepressant. And I like the date, 1.11. It feels like a good day for day 1.
N.B. // A parenting blog, this ain't. I'll happily admit that I'm not the best parent in the world, but I'm not the worst. My kids think I'm OK so that's fine with me, although I feel that I could be a lot better at it. There is always room for improvement, so I suspect there will be the occasional 'imperfect parent' post along the way…

Mad about the boy!!
Writers' Theatre presents:
A Musical Comedy Revue
Words and music by Noel Coward
Devised by Roderick Cook
Musical direction by Doug Peck
Directed by Jim Corti
Thru March 21st (ticket info)
reviewed by Katy Walsh
"I am not a heavy drinker. I can sometimes go hours without touching a drop."
Writers' Theatre presents OH COWARD!, a musical revue celebrating the words and music of Noel Coward. Nicknamed "The Master," Noel Coward (1899-1973) was a playwright, lyricist, composer, actor, singer, director and producer. The musical revue was devised by Roderick Cook, who won the Tony Award for Best Actor in 1987 for his performance in it.
"It's discouraging to think how many people are shocked by honesty and how few by deceit."
This memorable Coward quote reflects the philosophical basis and impetus for much of his work. The bawdy lyrics of songs like "Mrs. Worthington," that tell a stage mother not to put her ugly daughter on stage, are shockingly hilarious. Coward is The Master in spinning tales of drinking indulgences, sexual indiscretions and people that annoy into delightfully witty tunes. A 1930's party-goer would have been wise to cozy up to Coward for an evening's amusement of gossip and to avoid becoming a target. Without Coward's actual presence, OH COWARD! is the perfect party substitute.
First, any successful party requires the right ambiance. Scenic designer, Kevin Depinet , has reconfigured the theatre space into a 1930's night club with blown-up pictures of Noel Coward on the wall. The audience sits in a U-shape, allowing for a true intimate cabaret experience. Next, the wrong music can be a party buzz kill. For this particular soiree, Coward's songs are at the epicenter of the festivities. Under the musical direction of Doug Peck, the lively melodies add to the fast paced merriment. At pivotal moments, the soulful ballads "If Love Were All" and "Mad About The Boy", both arranged by Peck, give the party guests a breather and a shocker at the honest glimpse into Coward's private isolation.
The absolute key to turning any gathering into a bash is if the host knows the right people to invite. Director Jim Corti has the A-List in attendance with Kate Fry, Rob Lindley and John Sanders. With a glass of champagne or a martini, party gossip is best delivered with playful wit. OH COWARD! has a superstar tri-fecta! Under The Masters' (both Coward and Corti) influence, Fry, Lindley and Sanders are beautifully synchronized in songs and stories. The best part of their harmonized performance is the genuine enjoyment that radiates. In true imagined Coward fashion, these three seem to have spontaneously taken over a party with their flawless entertainment skills. OH COWARD! is THE party of the year!
"I have always been very fond of (drama critics)… I think it's so frightfully clever of them to go night after night to the theatre and know so little about it."
Oh Noel, you are hilarious!
Rating: ★★★½
Aside: Sipping the bubbly next to me, Shawn describes the show as "Better than hayfever!"
Tourists to Glencoe, we searched the main village square for a pre-show nosh. Surprisingly, there weren't many options. We decided to try An Apple a Day and Meg's Café (317 Park Ave Glencoe, Illinois). Although not quite the bustling party scene, the 2-staff wait service was very friendly and efficient. We ordered up the very tasty Earth Pinot Noir (pronounced like Hearth without the "H"). A novelty for Chicago folks, an entrée comes with a house salad. I had the recommended chicken parmesan. Although the kitchen was accommodating to substitute the angel hair pasta for corkscrew, the pasta was cold. The chicken parmesan tasted like chicken parmesan. The portion was ample enough for another meal.
Post show, not wanting the party to end, we decided to head back to Chicago for martinis. I highly recommend the Sheridan Drive alternative from Chicago to Glencoe during December. The already beautiful houses are lit up spectacularly, combine that with holiday tunes on the radio and it's the best kind of drive-through Christmas party! Since it was one of the first cold nights, the cozy comfort of the forty minute trip squashed the party vibe and we decided to just go home. Oh Coward, we aren't the partier you were!

Flounder FishFlounder fish is just one of about 540 species of flatfish that belong to the taxonomic order Pleuronectiade, which means "sideswimmer".
Flounder fish begin thier life just as any other normal fish does, but as they become bottom dwellers, one of thier eyes moves over to the other side. Which gives you either a "right-eyed" or 'left-eyed" flatfish.
Most of the flounder harvested for commerical use will be right eyed, except for fluke. Yellowtail flounder are caught on the Atlantic coast.
Cooking FlounderThe color of a raw flounder fillet will range from tan to pinkish to snow white. No matter what color your flounder fillets are when you buy them, they will all cook up pure white.
Yellowtail flounder is a lean, flaky fish with a mild sweet taste and firm texture. Being a lean fish, the best way to cook flounder is with wine, sauces and other liquids to help keep them from drying out.
Try to avoid sauces or herbs that might overpower the delicate taste of flounder fish. Thicker fillets can be broiled and served with just flavored herb butter.
Here are some Flounder recipes for you to try.
More About FlounderWays to Cook it: Bake, Broil, Fry, Saute
Texture: Delicate
Flavor: Mild

When we talk about jobs, it seems we always cover the same ground: the pay, the benefits, the title, the perks, and so on. The conversation starts and ends with the things.
The problem is, these things don't mean anything if you're not happy with the work itself. The process of work is far more important than the results. This is one thing I've finally figured out.
One reason you may hate your job is because of this exact reason. You think a higher salary and better benefits matter, but when the day-to-day grind eats away at your soul, it's a moot point.
Similar problems are found when working for yourself. If you're in it for the fame and glory and awards and attention, the outcome is no better. Such moments are fleeting and in the long run inconsequential. When you look at work from a birds-eye-view, it's clear that about 99% of the time you're grinding.
Whether you're a writer or programmer or project manager or freelancer or doctor. Work is repetitive and taxing and looks pretty boring, as long as it's not on TV. Yet, if you enjoy that day-to-day process, the daily grind of what your work requires, you're already setup for success.
We work in the dark-we do what we can-we give what we have. Our doubt is our passion and our passion is our task. The rest is the madness of art.Henry James from The Middle Years
The point is not to focus on the outcomes of your work, but the process itself. The hard work that no one sees. The countless hours spent thinking about problems and how to solve them. The days when you feel like crap, but still get up for work because it means something to you beyond a paycheck.
It's not for the rewards or fame or success or limelight. Not for those moments of elation. Those are great, there's no arguing that, but they're not the point. They're not the reason you do what you do. After all, they're not guaranteed.
You do what you do because you find joy in the actual process, whether success finds you or not.
Since I've quit my job, I've re-evaluated my life regularly and how I'm spending my time. Each time I try to see if I'm on the right path, doing the things I enjoy, and making the most of my opportunity. Quite fortunately, I find that I am.
I can do better, work harder, no doubt, but I'm finally working towards things that satisfy me on every level. I write, I design, and I create with full autonomy and freedom. I'm lucky.
How can you find this for yourself? It's easier said than done, but just asking yourself a few simple questions will get you on the right path. It starts with looking at your current state.
1. Are you happy with your work?
Not from a monetary perspective, not from a comfort perspective, but do you actually like what you do on a regular basis? There's going to parts of any job or career that suck, that just comes with the territory, but the majority of the time should be spent doing things that fulfill you.
Money is important and sometimes it trumps everything else, but other times it's just noise keeping you from what you really want. If you hate your work, if you're not internally satisfied, then none of the material benefits are going to make you feel any better.
So be honest with yourself, do you truly enjoy what you do? If the answer is no, move on to the next question.
2. What do you spend your free time on?
I'm not going to use a word as cliche as passion, but what are the things you enjoy? What are your hobbies? What do you spend your free time on? Or my favorite, what do you procrastinate with when you should be doing work?
The answers to these questions often point us towards the things we should be working on. The things we will truly enjoy doing if we pursue them. More often than not, they're right in your face, but you never considered them an option.
Take a hard look at what you really enjoy doing.
3. How can I take one step forward?
When you find that thing, and you will eventually, you need to plan how to move things forward. Quitting your job outright is not the answer. You need to figure things out before you take a leap.
Instead of diving in head first, ask yourself how you can take a small step towards the life you want to lead. If you want to write, start blogging. If you want to design, start taking on freelance work when you can. If you want to be a musician, go to open mic nights. Taking this approach will result in two things.
First, it'll will prove if you truly want what you say you do. Far too often we say we want to pursue something, but we don't take any action. If you can't take this small step towards your supposed goal, then maybe it's not as important as you thought. After all, actions speak louder than words.
Second, if you do take that step, you start to see how this new path could actually take hold. After a few weeks or months, you can take another step forward, until you reach your final destination. It takes time, but if you want it, it's there.
Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied to do what you believe is great work. And the only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven't found it yet, keep looking. Don't settle.Steve Jobs
It's about doing great work and loving what you do. It's not about being successful or winning awards or making money. Those may come along, but they aren't the be all end all.
The point is that process beats results. If you're not happy with the grind, the the results aren't going to make things any better.
Focus on the work that you do and the rest will come.

It's here. That day. Do I dare? I might as well; it's looming over us all like the sword of Damocles. Valentine's Day. There, I said it. Rejoice or shudder. Your choice.
I have never liked V Day. In the UK, many moons ago, I unluckily happened to be browsing the aisles of Clinton Cards for a friend's birthday card at this very time of year. I would like you, the reader, to step back and picture this scene for a moment. Cute, cuddly, fuzzy wuzzy teddy bears clutter the shelves, balloons hover proudly, displaying their sappy messages for one and all to see, and a vast array of cards gleam in the harsh, artificial light; all of this drowning in a sea of red. At this very moment, Whitney Houston launched into her one and only, that classic, "I will always love you." I nearly threw up in my mouth a little. In fact, I probably did. Either way I couldn't have sprinted out of there faster than if I had had that horrid, ugly white orc from "The Hobbit" after me.
But this is before Japan, and more precisely, before my time teaching at my current school. After Valentine's Day 2012, I can safely say, Valentine's Day rocks! I have never received so many chocolates in my life! Fifteen, to be exact! Although, as only men are supposed to receive chocolates on that day I'm not entirely sure whether I should indeed be happy about that or not, but I am! It was the most marvellous feeling in the world: the soft knock at the door, the dulcet tones asking for Ms. H, the proffering of handmade goodies. It made my heart pound just a little, and it was almost like being confessed to! The most exciting part for me was planning what to give back for White Day, and give back I did: honey cupcakes. They went down a storm if I do say so myself.
Even if Valentine's Day this year is not nearly as wonderful as it was last year, it will remain a memory to cherish forever. Unless I get Alzheimer's in my old age, in which case I shan't remember very much and it won't matter. Ha!

The Department of Psychology
Carl G. ConklinIn the winter quarter of 1996, I had a most pleasurable experience being a teacher's assistant and lab assistant for Dr. David Fitzpatrick in his 304A (experimental psychology) class. The first thing that impressed me was that I didn't remember being as frightened when I took 304A as the students seemed to be that first night. In fact, it appeared to me that, I was more scared that first class than the students were. However, let me assure you that the fear passed into fulfilling enthusiasm when I realized how much I was learning, and how much help I could be not only to the students but to Dr. Fitzpatrick.
As those of you who have taken 304A can attest to... it is a concentrated course on how to do the impossible. I tried my best to make things easy on the students, but realized by listening to and observing Dr. Fitzpatrick that that was not very practical. The modus operandi is to help the students discover, or should I say, create their own path through the labyrinth of alternatives hanging invisibly within their grasp. It was at times an almost euphoric experience.
It was a great class, a fun class, a very united class, and an incredible learning experience for me. One can not imagine how different it is to be on the other end of the rod until they are there. It really cannot be explained. It must be experienced. One must volunteer to do it to feel the real impact of what I am saying. Let me add, it does not stop when the quarter ends. The experience, the feelings, and the ideas keep flowing. I can see now many more things that I could have done, many more things I will do next time.
I have gone on and on about me, when the subject of this article is not really about me. The real person behind this person "me" was Dr. Fitzpatrick. The Doctor of Psychology who walks the halls and corridors of the Psychology Department of CSLA carrying a large paper cup of... does anyone really know what is in that infamous cup he carries, with that conspicuous straw protruding, inviting him to take the next sip? Who knows what secrets really lie under that lid. This is the man I served under that quarter. The man who knew just when to appear to ask just the right question to take you from slightly interested to totally confused. Dr. Fitzpatrick has that uncanny knack for creating humor out of the outrageously absurd. Yet, he can take total chaos and draw you a flowchart to straighten it out. He is not just a professor, a doctor, or a Ph.D. in psychology. He is an enigma. So why am I trying to explain the impossible? Because he is there. And I might add, he is there for all of us.
Thank you Dr. Fitzpatrick for the opportunity, for the experience, for the assistance, and for the advice. Thank you for being there when I needed you. Thank you for giving me the time to make my own contribution. Thanks for being you.

Using Food Rewards – June 30, 2010
- Treats need to be pea-sized OR SMALLER and easy to get to (pocket, training pouch or nearby table top). They should be soft so your dog can chew quickly without leaving crumbs on the floor – plus soft treats are easier to break into small enough pieces
- Distracting environments call for better treats. You can usually get away with something like Cheerios or kibble in the house with no distractions, but for outside leash walking practice, whip out the cubed cheddar or hot dogs.
- When in working with distractions, or a particularly challenging situation, feed lots of treats in a continuous fashion – to help your dog be successful.
- A mix of treats is ideal so your dog never knows what's coming. Figure out what your dog really likes!
- If you are having trouble with a particular behavior such as housetraining or coming when called – use your dog's very favorite treats for these rewards and ONLY for rewarding these behaviors.
- Once a behavior is learned, start rewarding randomly – start with '2-fers' and gradually vary the intervals in which you reward, slowly decreasing over time but continue to reward occasionally – 'slot machine effect'

A VIDEO has resurfaced showing Demi Moore passionately kissing a 15-year-old boy.
In light of the scandal over how co-stars treat each other, interest has been rekindled in a YouTube clip showing the Hollywood actress snogging the lad who starred alongside her in the TV drama General Hospital.
Aged just 19 herself, the teenage Demi can be seen locking lips with child actor Philip Tanzini who was celebrating his 15th birthday party.
Posted on YouTube in 2012 and racking up more than 6.5 million views, the five-minute clip sees Moore initiate the kiss with Tanzini three times.
Speaking to the camera, she says: "I love him dearly. He's one of my most favourite people."
Demi was wed to first hubby Freddy Moore at the time of her party snog with Philip.
But that didn't stop the seemingly inebriated star declaring Philip to be "the only one I love".
The object of her affection seemed pleased and joined in: "We're going to get married by the way.
"Don't let her husband find out."
Demi responded: "I can't wait. He really is truly terrific. He is, and I love him because he keeps me happy."

An urban look is very easy to pull off. Interesting details and unique pieces can really do the trick. Here, I wore a cool cut-out sweater accented with zipper details on the jeans and purse. Lace-up booties pull the look together.
What do you think of this look?

Every 45 minutes in the United States, a child is rushed to the emergency room for injuries caused by televisions that are not appropriately secured. To help prevent these TV tip overs, Safe Kids Springfield is launching National TV Safety Day on Feb. 1, 2014, the day before Super Bowl XLVIII.
As families prepare to gather around their television sets for that must-see event, it's a good time to remind them about simple things they can do to make their homes safer.
As part of this effort, Safe Kids Worldwide and the Consumer Electronics Association (CEA) ® are teaming up to encourage families to recycle their old TVs. Additionally, they're urging parents and caregivers to do quick checks of their homes and make sure all of their TVs are safely secured and placed properly. Larger and heavier cathode ray tube (CRT) TVs placed on dressers or high furniture can tip over and cause serious injuries, even death, if children climb onto the furniture.
"No parent should have to endure the loss of a child due to a TV tip over," said Daphne Greenlee, coordinator of Safe Kids Springfield and Mercy Trauma Outreach. "A few simple steps are all it takes to ensure the safety of your child."
Safe Kids encourages families to include TV safety as part of their childproofing plans. Here are some top tips:

After the recent debacle where DEA agents seized a shipment of hemp seeds bound for Kentucky, there has been a lot of hemp news coming out of the area. Last Tuesday the University of Kentucky officially started growing industrial hemp on one of their test plots in order to research and determine the potential of the extremely versatile plant. In addition, another test plot has begun to grow industrial hemp in Western Kentucky. This plot is affiliated with Murray State University. Throughout the state, about 13 hemp plots are expected to be planted within just days, most of them expected to use hemp seeds from other sources. Kentucky Agricultural Commissioner James Comer said these plots will "help us recover much of the knowledge about industrial hemp product that has been lost since hemp was last grown in Kentucky." He also stated that the research "will bring industrial hemp back to Kentucky, and with it, new jobs and new farm income."
Kentucky has been fighting to pass the bill to legally grow industrial hemp for research, in fact, they have been on the front lines of this battle as many other states are closely watching things unfold. More states in the US are also jumping into the fight, passing bills which actually make it legal to grow on designated plots, with government issued permits. Hemp used to thrive in Kentucky before being banned in 1970, and of course, was used in a plethora of applications which generated a healthy income for the state. There are a lot of people who believe that industrial hemp in Kentucky could flourish once again; creating jobs, valuable resources, and bringing a significant amount of income into the state, hemp could indeed be a valued crop.
Industrial hemp can be used for paper, plastic, rope, food, cosmetics, and even fuel (just to name a few), so why wouldn't it generate a ton of money for any state willing to grow it? On Tuesday, In Rockcastle County, there's a group hoping to plant two acres of hemp for another research project. Michael Lewis, an industrial hemp farmer leading the project, said that the plan is to convert part of the crop into fabric to make US flags. The industrial hemp will also be used to make textiles, he said. He also mentioned that we shouldn't expect a bustling hemp industry by next year. These sorts of things take time, but "certainly, the potential is exciting".

Right off the bat if you can't tell that the Defense Information Systems Agency, or DISA, is going mobile you should probably be in another line of work (there are 11 Apple iPads pictured on the cover page).
Leveraging the CJCS's direction to focus on continuing to create Joint Force 2020 and with the relatively new leadership in Lieutenant General Ronnie Hawkins Jr., USAF, DISA intends to focus initially on the following areas:
- Global Defense Posture – While maintaining DISA's focus on the current fight in Afghanistan and their ongoing engagement efforts in Europe and Africa, they will adjust their operations to accommodate the Department's shifts in global defensive posture towards the Asia-Pacific region. DISA will lead the development and operation of a layered, fault-tolerant enterprise information environment consisting of rapidly deployable components that allow for contingency operations in a full range of conflict.
- Cyber Command and Control (C2) – DISA will posture the Agency in concert with U.S. Cyber Command to expand Defensive Cyber Operations (DCO) and DoD Global Information Grid Operations (DGO) mission support through evolving and innovative initiatives.
- Nuclear Command, Control, and Communications (NC3) – DISA will focus attention on developing and enhancing enterprise solutions in support of national leadership and nuclear command and control.
- Joint Information Environment (JIE) – DISA will be the lead for the JIE Technical Synchronization Office (JTSO). They will enable a consolidated, collaborative, and secure JIE enabling end-to-end information sharing and interdependent enterprise services across the Department.
- DoD Cloud Services – DISA will enable rapid provisioning of services for the Department as the DoD Cloud Services Broker, and they will converge components of the enterprise for a more efficient and affordable architecture through consolidation of data centers, NetOps centers, and migration to cloud computing.
- Mobility – DISA will promote rapid delivery, scaling, and utilization of secure mobile capability leveraging commercial mobile technology to enable an agile deployment environment for new and innovative applications to support evolving Warfighter requirements.
- Acquisition Agility – DISA will employ an acquisition strategy that reduces procurement cycle times and accelerates delivery of critical capabilities. Incremental development, preplanned product improvement, and agile development will be key in our acquisition strategy.
- DISA First – DISA will serve as DoD's early adopter for new enterprise capabilities. This will allow us to validate the capability meets the stated requirements, identify and resolve any issues with the capability, and demonstrate the operational viability of the capability
DISA's Vision: Information superiority in defense of our Nation.
DISA's Mission: DISA, a Combat Support Agency, provides, operates, and assures command and control, information sharing capabilities, and a globally accessible enterprise information infrastructure in direct support to joint Warfighters, National level leaders, and other mission and coalition partners across the full spectrum of operations.
DISA Strategic Goal's 2013 – 2018:
- Evolve the Joint Information Environment. Evolve a consolidated, collaborative, and secure joint information environment, enabling end to end information sharing and interdependent enterprise services across the Department that are seamless, interoperable, efficient, and responsive to joint and coalition Warfighter requirements.

Agile BI advice at TDWI welcomed by attendees, but confusion remains
Agile business intelligence sounded intriguing but remained confusing for some TDWI attendees. Learn more about the concept, and get five secrets for implementing agile BI.
SAN DIEGO -- Change is inevitable, so plan for it. That was the prevailing message of the summer TDWI conference here, which was focused on agile business intelligence (BI).
While attendees lauded the conference's content, some remained confused over agile BI, even two days into the event. Some thought it referred to applying agile development principles to their BI environment. A few saw it as yet another industry buzzword. Others thought it meant the ability of BI to help an organization be more adaptable, nimble and quick.
They're all partially right, explained Wayne Eckerson, research director for The Data Warehousing Institute (TDWI), a Renton, Wash.-based analyst firm.
"When TDWI uses the term [agile BI], it's in the broadest context possible," Eckerson said. "It refers to any of the organizational processes, technology and infrastructure required to make the business go as fast as possible."
Practically speaking, he said, that means agile BI spans many areas and is more mentality than methodology. It means initiatives like revamping an organization's BI team and program structure for better business alignment and improving how information is disseminated and used. It means developing powerful BI and data management infrastructures that are flexible enough to handle change. And it means applying agile development techniques to BI projects, Eckerson explained. But given that many of these goals are not new, why is the agile BI concept gaining traction now?
Eckerson pointed first to the recent uptick in executive interest in using BI and analytics to be more agile and competitive. Technology innovations in data warehousing appliances, analytical databases, cloud computing and open source are "changing the game," he said, enabling organizations to ask and answer analytical questions that historically weren't possible as a result of storage, processing and cost constraints. And there's a genuine move toward using agile development concepts to help overcome the stigma (and, often, the reality) that IT organizations are too slow to respond to business needs.
"There's a growing momentum toward failing fast and not trying to be perfect. If something breaks and you make a mistake, the cost of fixing the mistake is often outweighed by the advantage of going fast," Eckerson said. "So fail. Make a mistake. Build your architecture and fix things after the fact. Let your developers go out, build these solutions quickly and reconcile the models afterwards. It's OK, as long as you're all developing to certain core principles. Not hard-and-fast rules, but core principles."
That may be a tough pill for some BI and data management professionals to swallow, he acknowledged. After years of requirements templates, careful modeling and attempts to get the data perfect, the new directives are to develop quickly, iterate often and be OK with delivering 80%. Granted, this approach might not be ideal for an executive's financial reporting, but the average business user will probably be OK with getting some data sooner, rather than waiting for the perfect solution.
Eckerson offered even more advice in his Monday morning keynote, sharing "Five Secrets to Building an Agile Adaptable BI Environment":
- Align with business. Evaluate BI program structures, he recommended, and consider agile development tactics, such as "embedding" BI developers in a business department and cross-training staff in all facets of BI. He referenced a Netflix case study that involved disbanding formal requirements and QA teams in favor of a cross-trained BI staff, where a single developer may build out an entire solution.
- Slow down to speed up. Eckerson cautioned that the emphasis on fast delivery should not mean ignoring the business user or getting seduced by attractive technology before knowing what's really needed.
- Anticipate the business. The more that BI professionals know the business side "inside and out," the better position they will be in to develop applications and infrastructures that can handle future business requests. Given that businesses often don't want to fund architecture – instead, focusing on projects – Eckerson recommended building out BI architectures incrementally.
- Manage expectations. "The harsh reality of BI is that we'll never, ever move as fast as the business wants – but we can move as fast as they need," Eckerson said. BI teams with a good business rapport can help requestors step back to consider what will do the job. Other helpful tactics are developing a visual BI portfolio (a concept pioneered by Baseline Consulting) and having a solid governance structure to manage incoming requests.
- Cede control back to the business. BI organizations need to educate business users and develop standards and governance that enable BI without sacrificing the user's desire for data. It's akin to raising teenagers, Eckerson joked. When you can no longer control their actions, you hope that standards and values you've espoused will help them make good decisions.
These messages seemed to resonate with many of the attendees at the event. Roger Barker, enterprise data warehouse manager with El Segundo, Calif.-based semiconductor maker International Rectifier, came to the event partially to get advice on developing the executive sponsorship required for him to grow his BI organization beyond his current one-man show. His goal is to evolve his organization's three-year-old data warehouse into a full-fledged BI program. Barker said applying agile development methodologies to BI is an intriguing idea, but "we have other things to do first."
Another attendee, Russell Brown, a BI analyst with Jacksonville, Fla.-based financial services provider FIS, was at the event to present, take a CBIP exam and bring back new ideas.
"The focus for us in the next couple of years is scalability," Brown said. "How do we take these complicated statistical analyses and put those into our client's hands so they make sense of [them] -- without our end users needing to have a Ph.D. in statistics?"

Tomorrow night is the first time rain fall in my city
I was so happy because i miss the smell of petrichor
Yeah welcome to November rain….
I will prepare hot chocolate and some music to spend my "raining" time…
Because I can relax when the rain comes, I can make a wish cause Allah has promise about this
ثنتان ما تردان : الدعاء عند النداء ، و تحت المطر
"Doa tidak tertolak pada 2 waktu, yaitu ketika adzan berkumandang dan ketika hujan turun" (HR Al Hakim, 2534, dishahihkan Al Albani di Shahih Al Jami', 3078)
So enjoy the november rain, hope this month will be okay…. I hope so…
If we could take the time
To lay it on the line
I could rest my head
Just knowin' that you were mine
All mine
So if you want to love me
Then darlin' don't refrain
Or I'll just end up walkin'
In the cold November rain

Are you looking for a real challenge? Then, Kayaking on the Thames is the perfect adventure for you and your group. However, if you are thinking of Kayaking in particular location then it is also a good option to make your visit worthwhile. But please note down that Kayaking differs from that of canoeing due to the shape of the boat.
It wasn't meant to be but it turned out to be a solo trip to Norway, Paris and Bruges…and what a trip it was…Excellent. Flamingo Travels is so far my best tour operator yet.The itinerary was carefully thought through and well balanced. The trip represented great travel for the cost. My booking was easy, the pre-information packet was timely and thorough. Interim questions were handled promptly and thoroughly, including going out of their way to help me with some hard to get reservations. The organization of the tour and the accommodations were excellent. The transfers were perfect and done with a high class Mercedes vehicle. Everything worked like clockwork. However, it was the genius of the itinerary, coupled with two professionals, Nirali and Hiren, that put this trip into the A plus category.
I would highly recommend this company to anyone wanting a fun, relaxed, enjoyable holiday with fine cultural food - they will deliver!
The only trouble is "I want to go back for more"! A wonderful trip.

In testing a null vs an alternative, if we don't reject the null (e.g. the p-value is very big, bigger than the significance level), what is our conclusion?
Can we say that we accept the null, can we? I remember I heard that not rejecting the null doesn't mean accepting the null, but I might be wrong.
Or should we simply say that we don't reject the null?

Paypal Web Payments Pro
I wonder if any of you can assist.
I was initially looking at getting a merchant account but having second thoughts.
Paypal would be an easier way to go (I think) but I'm not keen on capturing credit card details direct on my own website as not sure how my database would handle credit card details or about implementing SSL.
Does anyone have pointers here?
