Menopause is the transition period in a woman's life when her ovaries stop producing eggs, her body produces less estrogen and progesterone, and menstruation becomes less frequent, eventually stopping altogether.
Alternative Names
Perimenopause; Postmenopause
Causes, incidence, and risk factors
Menopause is a natural event that normally occurs between the ages of 45 and 55.
Once menopause is complete (called postmenopause) and you have not had a period for 1 year, you are no longer at risk of becoming pregnant.
The symptoms of menopause are caused by changes in estrogen and progesterone levels. The ovaries make less of these hormones over time. The specific symptoms and how significant (mild, moderate, or severe) they are varies from woman to woman.
A gradual decrease of estrogen generally allows your body to slowly adjust to the hormonal changes. Hot flashes and sweats are at their worst for the first 1 - 2 years after the last period. Menopause symptoms may last 5 or more years.
Estrogen levels may drop suddenly after some medical treatments, as is seen when the ovaries are removed surgically (called surgical menopause). Chemotherapy and anti-estrogen treatment for breast cancer are other examples. Symptoms can be more severe and start more suddenly in these circumstances.
As a result of the fall in hormone levels, changes occur in the entire female reproductive system. The vaginal walls become less elastic and thinner. The vagina becomes shorter. Lubricating secretions from the vagina become watery. The outside genital tissue thins. This is called atrophy of the labia.
In some women, menstrual flow comes to a sudden halt. More commonly, it slowly stops over time. During this time, the menstrual periods generally become either more closely or more widely spaced. This irregularity may last for 1 - 3 years before menstruation finally ends completely. Before this the cycle length may shorten to as little as every 3 weeks.
Common symptoms of menopause include:
- Heart pounding or racing
- Hot flashes
- Night sweats
- Skin flushing
- Sleeping problems (insomnia)
Other symptoms of menopause may include:
- Decreased interest in sex, possibly decreased response to sexual stimulation
- Forgetfulness (in some women)
- Headaches
- Irregular menstrual periods
- Mood swings including irritability, depression, and anxiety
- Urine leakage
- Vaginal dryness and painful sexual intercourse
- Vaginal infections
- Joint aches and pains
- Irregular heartbeat (palpitations)
Signs and tests
Blood and urine tests can be used to measure changes in hormone levels that may signal when a woman is close to menopause or has already gone through menopause. Examples of these tests include:
A pelvic exam may indicate changes in the vaginal lining caused by declining estrogen levels. The doctor may perform a bone density test to screen for low bone density levels that occur with osteoporosis. The rate of bone loss increases during the first few years after the last period.
Treatment with hormones may be helpful if you have severe symptoms such as hot flashes, night sweats, mood issues, or vaginal dryness.
Discuss the decision to take hormones thoroughly with your doctor, weighing your risks against any possible benefits. Learn about the many options currently available to you that do not involve taking hormones. Every woman is different. Your doctor should be aware of your entire medical history before prescribing hormone therapy (HT).
If you have a uterus and decide to take estrogen, you must also take progesterone to prevent endometrial cancer (cancer of the lining of the uterus). If you do not have a uterus, progesterone is not necessary.
Several major studies have questioned the health benefits and risks of hormone replacement therapy, including the risk of developing breast cancer, heart attacks, strokes, and blood clots.
Current guidelines support the use of HT for the treatment of hot flashes. Specific recommendations:
- HT may be started in women who have recently entered menopause.
- HT should not be used in women who started menopause many years ago, except for . An exception is estrogen vaginal creams.
- The medicine should not be used for longer than 5 years.
- Women taking HT should have a baseline low risk for stroke, heart disease, blood clots, or breast cancer.
To reduce the risks of estrogen therapy and still gain the benefits of the treatment, your doctor may recommend:
- Using a lower dose of estrogen or a different estrogen preparation (for instance, a vaginal cream rather than a pill)
- Having frequent and regular pelvic exams and Pap smears to detect problems as early as possible
- Having frequent and regular physical exams, including breast exams and mammograms
See also: Hormone therapy for more information about taking hormone therapy.
There are some medications available to help with mood swings, hot flashes, and other symptoms. These include low doses of antidepressants such as paroxetine (Paxil), venlafaxine (Effexor), bupropion (Wellbutrin), and fluoxetine (Prozac), or clonidine, which is normally used to control high blood pressure. Gabapentin is also effective for reducing hot flashes.
The good news is that you can take many steps to reduce your symptoms without taking hormones:
- Avoid caffeine, alcohol, and spicy foods
- Dress lightly and in layers
- Eat soy foods
- Get adequate calcium and vitamin D in food or supplements
- Get plenty of exercise
- Perform Kegel exercises daily to strengthen the muscles of your vagina and pelvis
- Practice slow, deep breathing whenever a hot flash starts to come on (try taking six breaths per minute)
- Remain sexually active
- See an acupuncture specialist
- Try relaxation techniques such as yoga, tai chi, or meditation
- Use water-based lubricants during sexual intercourse
Postmenopausal bleeding may occur. This bleeding is often nothing to worry about. However, your health care provider should always check any postmenopausal bleeding, because it may be an early sign of other problems, including cancer.
Decreased estrogen levels are also associated with the following long-term effects:
- Bone loss and eventual osteoporosis in some women
- Changes in cholesterol levels and greater risk of heart disease
Calling your health care provider
Call your health care provider if:
- You are spotting blood between periods
- You have had 12 consecutive months with no period and suddenly vaginal bleeding or spotting begins again, even if it is a very small amount
Menopause is a natural and expected part of a woman's development and does not need to be prevented. However, there are ways to reduce or eliminate some of the symptoms of menopause.
You can reduce your risk of long-term problems such as osteoporosis and heart disease by taking the following steps:
- Control your blood pressure, cholesterol, and other risk factors for heart disease.
- Do NOT smoke. Cigarette use can cause early menopause.
- Eat a low-fat diet.
- Get regular exercise. Resistance exercises help strengthen your bones and improve your balance.
- If you show early signs of bone loss or have a strong family history of osteoporosis, talk to your doctor about medications that can help stop further weakening.
- Take calcium and vitamin D.

The lawyer representing one of two potential multimillion class-action lawsuits being levelled at the city said he can't believe a $1.4-million fix was all that was needed to prevent flooding at the Atlantic Avenue Sewage Treatment Plant.
Sandy Zaitzaff said it just strengthens his resolve to sue the city on behalf of victims of the May 28 flood disaster, continuing to blame the city for raw sewage backing up into people's basements in low-lying areas of Thunder Bay.
"I was shocked at the low number that it would have taken to prevent this; $1.4 million and there would have been no flood," Zaitzaff said. "That is shocking, that is appalling. That's a simple fix. The city should have had that in place long before this."
City officials, however, contend otherwise, pointing out the sewage treatment plant operated as it was expected, was designed to handle amounts of water nearly 10 times the daily average and couldn't have been expected to deal with the amount of rain that fell and besieged the city's sewer system.
Zaitzaff was also angered to learn the fixes – an emergency bypass system and faster screen cleaners to allow water to flow more freely – have been increasingly implemented in many other communities over the past decade, albeit mostly in new construction.
City manager Tim Commisso said he's confident with what he heard from the consultants, which included engineer Troy Briggs and weather expert Graham Saunders, that the city wasn't at fault.
"We have a plant that well exceeded the capacity, as it was described tonight. What we're dealing with is a weather event that exceeded our expectations. And I'll say that. Our plant functioned well and did the best it could under the circumstances. It's just the flows under the amount of water exceeded that," Commisso said.
He added in hindsight its easy to suggest what should or shouldn't have been done.
"We have done everything that we can and I think what you heard tonight is our plant certainly meets the standards it was designed for and goes beyond that."
According to Saunders, 93.1 millilitres of rain fell, beginning about midnight, on May 28. The rain fell at record rates, and combined with more than 60 millilitres of rain that fell in the five days leading up to the flood, conditions were perfect for excess water to accumulate, as it had nowhere to go.
Briggs said it's important to realize the $1.45-million fix he is proposing would only have protected the plant itself, and would not have prevented water from backing up in the sewer system.
"It wouldn't have necessarily stopped any flooding within the system. The flows that came were just beyond what the plant could even pump. Because we couldn't pump it, it means it had to back up in the system. Even if we could have protected the plant doesn't mean we could have stopped the event itself and catastrophe we had on the residents of the city," Briggs said.
"Again, this was a very complex situation. It's something that we will certainly look at and go forward," Commisso added, when questioned why the bypass wasn't already in place. "It's a commitment we're making and continue to make, putting in place everything we can. This will be another measure."
Zaitzaff said the explanations don't wash.
"The plant had design problems," he maintained. "The plant did not work properly. Their screens clogged. The screens should not clog. The design of the screen themselves and the rakes were improper. They just told us that."
The city is facing a pair of class-action lawsuits over the disaster, each valued at more than $500 million. Neither suit has been certified in court and cannot proceed until such time.

Soleil Moon Frye Embraces 'Punky Brewster' and 'Happy Chaos'
You may remember Soleil Moon Frye from the popular '80s TV comedy series "Punky Brewster," about a spunky orphan adopted by a lonely old man.
Soleil is no longer the silly, oddly attired kid, but is now an entrepreneur and social media maven with a new parenting book, "Happy Chaos," giving grown-up advice and sharing her personal and professional world.
"Happy Chaos" explains the adventures of motherhood and why accepting messes, mishaps, tears and tantrums will make you and your kids happier. Here is an excerpt:
"I was seven years old when I walked onto the set of 'Punky Brewster,' a show about a little girl who was abandoned by her mother in a grocery store. I think of it now and smile as I imagine them pitching the series. A show about a kid whose parents abandoned her at the tender age of seven... and it's a comedy! Then she narrowly escapes being sent to an orphanage... an orphanage!
"This wasn't a drama -- or a novel by Dickens -- this was a prime-time sitcom on NBC. Amazing. Even more amazing, Punky wasn't saved from the orphanage by a mom and a dad with a big house and a backyard. Instead, she and her dog, Brandon, were taken in by a grumpy old man. And together they made a family."
Moon Frye is the proud mother of daughters Poet, 6, and Jagger, 3, who have seen a few episodes of "Punky Brewster" on YouTube and thought it was "hysterical."

Ohio State QB suspended for bowl game
Dec. 20, 2004
SportsLine.com wire reports
COLUMBUS, Ohio -- Ohio State quarterback Troy Smith was suspended on Monday for violating team and NCAA rules and will not play in next week's Alamo Bowl against Oklahoma State.
Coach Jim Tressel would not say what Smith did or when the violation occurred.
"Obviously, he feels terrible that he didn't take care of his responsibilities," Tressel said.
Smith led the Buckeyes to a 4-1 record in their final five regular season games, including a 37-21 victory over rival Michigan last month when he threw for 241 yards and ran for 145 yards.
"I am aware of what is expected, both on and off the field, at Ohio State and I have fallen short of those expectations," Smith said in a statement released by Ohio State.
The sophomore will not travel with the team to San Antonio when it leaves on Wednesday for the Dec. 29 game.
Justin Zwick, also a sophomore, will start for Smith. He had been the starter until he lost the job after mildly separating his left, or non-throwing, shoulder in the sixth game of the season against Iowa.
Overall, Smith played in eight of Ohio State's 11 games this year, completing 68 of 122 passes for 896 yards and eight touchdowns. He was intercepted three times.
He also ran 82 times for 339 yards and two touchdowns.
Athletic director Andy Geiger said the university has petitioned the NCAA to have Smith reinstated for the 2005 season.

Raiders talking to Mike Holmgren about front-office role
The Oakland Raiders have discussed a position in the organization with former Green Bay Packers and Seattle Seahawks coach Mike Holmgren, a league source confirmed. ESPN was the first to report the conversations with Holmgren, a San Francisco native and most recently the president of the Cleveland Browns. What role Holmgren would take on is […] [Read More]

King Felix has finally earned his crown. The 24-year-old right-hander from Venezuela was announced as the American League Cy Young Award winner on Thursday. With just a 13-12 record his Cy Young victory symbolizes a major league change in the game. What's at stake anymore? Is it fantasy or is it real?
Mathematicians using sabermetrics are now imperative for every team to utilize in the decision making process. What used to be the ultimate purpose of the game — earning a win — has become just another number. A guy that 20 years ago may have been cast upon the scrap heap has gained new found value. Players are being judged in ways old scouts never would have dreamed. Mathematical formulas and graphs are now so intertwined its hard to tell the difference between a baseball scout and a computer programmer.
It's hard to argue against wins being the most important stat. What else are they wearing those funny looking uniforms for?
Due to the nature of a team game, however, wins must be earned by the entire team, as a team. A pitcher cannot win if his team does not score runs. That is the tragic burden piled upon the pitching arm of Felix Hernandez. In his 12 losses, his team scored a total of seven runs while he was in the game. It's going to be tough to win with run support like that, no matter who you are.

- Maybe bfast is betterPesecaninaVIPDined on 9/16/2014We went for dinner. I ordered strip steak with mushrooms. It was well cooked and juicy but not worth the cost. Same for the filet. Service was good. We may try again for brunch or lunch.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Quieter option on Ocean DrivebbmiamiVIPDined on 8/16/2014This place is further down the road and away from the row of restaurants that are constantly trying to drag you in off the street. Front Porch Cafe has been around for many years, which is a testament to the quality of its food in an ever-changing South Beach line up of restaurants. The interior is nondescript, but more care is given to the food quality and taste. The service is friendly, but could have been more efficient on the night we were there.Special Features:
- NiceOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 8/9/2014We were seated right away and also attended to promptly. The food was delish. But for some reason it didnt give me a wow factor. It was just nice and cozySpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- MemorableGemFinderDined on 8/8/2014While on vacation in Miami Beach, each per in the group was tasked with choosing where to eat dinner. On my night, I did a bunch of research and decided Front Porch Cafe offered everything I was looking for. I would describe the menu as "international comfort foods"; something delicious for each persons' unique preferences. As a vegetarian, I most often *settle* for one of few options. I love that they serve breakfast all day! The French Toast was incredible. The service was exceptionally friendly, warm, attentive and prompt. Sitting outside on the porch made for great people-watching in addition to being able to enjoy the beautiful weather. Everyone in my group thanked me repeatedly for having found such a gem!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- good food good priceOpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 8/1/2014Very good quality food for the price, one of the best in South Beach, avoid the expensive tourist traps on Ocean Dr.Special Features:
- Good dining experiencepalmbchpchDined on 7/20/2014Try the shrimp tacos! They were wonderful! Ambience was so so. The service was wonderful, from the hostess to the server. We would definitely return for the tacos especially.Special Features:
- Meatloaf was awesomekimmykDined on 7/19/2014If you are in South Beach you must try this place!!!!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Excellent food, spot & serviceKKHerefordDined on 7/17/2014My 2 teenage children, husband and I had a really great evening here. The food and service were excellent. The plums stuffed with gorgonzola and wrapped in prosciutto were something we've never tried before and were absolutely delicious (as was all the food we ate - fish of the day, steak, calamari and pork). The outside porch is great for watching people go by, but the bar and restaurant inside were also really cool. The waiters offered superb service in a very friendly and knowledgeable manner and added to our enjoyment of the evening.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Food not so greatmiachuckVIPDined on 7/9/20143 appetizers Wings. Almost no meat Calamari. Overlooked I think in old oil BBQ chicken pizza. Not much flavor
- Gr8 time hereHubbiesVIPDined on 6/27/2014WOW, what a wonderful find. South Beach boasts many good restaurants but this is by far our favorite. We loved everything about the Front Porch and will DEFINITELY be returning any time we are in South Beach.Special Features:
- UnderwhelmedGratzziDined on 6/27/2014The restaurant, food and service, did not meet the level of its reviews. OK, but pricey.
- Delicious dinnerjerseygirl57Dined on 6/8/2014My daughter and I went to Front Porch Cafe during our vacation to Miami. We ate there for breakfast before and that was wonderful. Dinner did not disappoint. From our waiter to dessert all was great. I had fish and my daughter had Scampi. Food was fresh, hot and delish. I would definitely recommend a visit to FPC when in Miami.Special Features:
- PLEASE DO NOT EAT HERE!Dhn723Dined on 6/5/2014I would never come here again especially for dinner. Hosts were nice but the waiter was rude from greeting and knew he could act that way because he gave an automatic 17% tip to two bills which there was no purpose to have two bills when one person was paying. I would not have minded paying the automatic tip or more if the server was pleasant. The food was mediocore and slow to come out especially when the place was practically empty. It was definitely not worth the price. If you want a nice dining experience I would not recommend this place.
- The following 42 reviews are from the Front Porch Cafe reviews archive.
- Nice experiencebigfoodfanDined on 5/22/2014Had one of the best burgers I've ever had. Must try the kimchee burger. Service was quick and friendly. Host was very charming and helpful.Special Features:
- Not enough staffEmemceeDined on 5/10/2014Sat at the bar for dinner and felt that I was in the way the whole time I sat there. The food was good, although they messed up my order and couldn't say anything as there were no staff to say it to. The pizza is amazing as always. They were busy on a Saturday night and had one bartender. At one point they ran out of glasses to serve drinks. It's a shame their pizza is so good, but service is poor.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Quality Food - Tourist NeighborhoodRayLovesToTravelnEatDined on 4/24/2014Really enjoyed our dinner here. Corn tamale shrimp app was tasty. Short walk from Lincoln Road area hotels.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great Miami Beach find!PreshowDinerDined on 3/20/2014On the North end of Ocean Drive, this is a great place. Superb service (thank you Peter), delicious food (bacon wrapped dates were ridiculously good), and entertaining people watching made this a great dinner choice for us while on vacation. The drink menu was original and fun...if a bit adventurous/spicy in spots! ; )Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Calamari was awful! Must haveMarkoDined on 3/8/2014Calamari was awful! Must have scraped them from the bottom of the bag Slow service Won't go back
- Three great mealsmarilVIPDined on 2/5/2014Breakfast all day with superb French toast was our introduction to this restaurant. It was so good that we were back for lunch and dinner. Happy hour is a special treat with delicious half price appetizers and drinks.Special Features:
- Misleading MenuTLCUKDined on 10/10/2013Both my friend and I ordered what was labeled as a 'salad' however it was nothing like a salad we've ever seen. It could well have been ignorance on my part but the ceviche 'salad' was small, with no 'salad-like' items in it. My friend ordered octopus which was tough and burnt and came with chick peas only, again no 'salad-like' items. They were happy to change my order but to a 'real' salad, however, I think it's reasonable to assume others could make this same mistake, so it might be an idea to change the menu description. Also, the outside tables were dimly lit, so it was hard to read the menu in the first place.
- good restaurantlazaritoDined on 8/25/2013I do not give 5 star because it took more than 10 minutes since we seat in the table for someone to come n greet us.we felt lost there at the begining and we almost leave and my friend fish was not cooked the way she liked it and had to be taken back to the kitchen to be re cook again even though she told the waiter she liked it well cooked and deep fried.other than that the rest of the evening went well and the waiter his service was ok.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Visiting Miam1 BeachJohnDined on 7/27/2013Were surprised that we had the place to ourselves on a Saturday night in Miami Beach! Very few patrons when we were there! The food was good and our server was very nice.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Mushy RiceOpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 6/16/2013They lost me when the apps came with over cooked rice. Friends dinner came with coconut rice but they served white (again over cooked) rice. We let the waiter know it should have come with coconut rice and he insisted that it was coconut rice (ridiculous). Friends dinner also came with plantain chips which we were not served and had to ask for.
- Fantastic food fabulous servicemunchiesDined on 6/14/2013Fantastic food fabulous service right on south beachSpecial Features:
- Lunch was okFoodieDined on 5/26/2013We had heard this was terriffic brunch place but we ended up going for lunch. It was good, nothing amazing. The service was very good, very friendly and attentive.
- Love this restaurant!TahoetgrDined on 5/19/2013We were here last August and loved it! We ate the first night because it was convinent since we were staying at the hotel, but we ate again because the food was so good. This trip we just had to have dinner again and the chef did not disappoint! This is a hidden gem on Ocean where you get top notch food at reasonable prices. The crispy potatoes are to die for! The home made pickles are very good. Ask to say hello to the chef, Todd; he is a very talented chef and is very personable.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Nice break from pricey Miami meals!OpenTable Diner Since 2009VIPDined on 4/29/2013My friend and I opted for Front Porch because it was reasonable priced, had a decent/eclectic menu and within walking distance. We sat outside, which is nice especially in Miami. It's kind of on a side street across from a souvenir shop, so there isn't much of a view. The service was pretty good, no complaints there. Our food was pretty good too. Not the most memorable meal of our vacation, but it was nice and simple and straight forward. It was a good break for our wallets too!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great place not crowdedFoodiejpDined on 4/26/2013Head chef is great and came to our table. Restaurant was out of plantains, which was a bummer. Veggie lasagna was made from scratch and took a long time but the chef brought out a complementary appetizer.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- A mecca of humility in South BeachSteveVIPDined on 3/27/2013I took my two guests visiting from Spain to the FPC, and they loved the cooking and appreciated the fine service. We shared three different dishes "family style," all of which were fresh, flavorful and and creative renditions of great comfort good classics. The chef took the time to introduce himself, and we appreciated that gesture very much. Our server was also excellent throughout the meal.Special Features:
- Had a wonderful dinner oneeekVIPDined on 3/9/2013Had a wonderful dinner on Saturday night while visiting from New York. A friend recommended and we were not disappointed. Highly recommend.Special Features:
- People rave about breakfastelliebethmvDined on 2/23/2013People rave about breakfast here but dinner was really, really good. The plantain chips with homemade pico de galo was a great appetizer and both our pastas were excellent. The wine choices were excellent, too, and the service very good!Special Features:
- Great Valentines Night.OpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 2/14/2013This place is normally known for its breakfast and lunches, but I took my wife to the front porch cafe this past Valentines day. It was rainy, but they had the outdoor seating all covered with large umbrellas and the rain was not a problem. The restaurant was surprisingly not busy for this occasion, but I wasn't disappointed by it. We had out own private table, the server was great and the food and wine was delicious (best chicken parm) . They also had a solo band with a guitar and a speaker which was nice. After dinner, since it was raining, we went to the back of the restaurant where it connects to the hotel and played their oversized chess game and drank wine until it stopped raining. The ambiance was great and the back bar is very nice.Special Features:
- we were served by very niceOpenTable Diner Since 2013Dined on 2/3/2013we were served by very nice waiter Denis, he really cares to make guests happy :)Special Features:
- Very good restaurant for aDulac70Dined on 1/5/2013Very good restaurant for a relaxing outdoor dining experience when in South Beach.Special Features:
- great for lunch, not for dinnerjackVIPDined on 9/28/2012great for lunch, not for dinner as the new menu does not compare to the great old dinner items.
- Delectable experience!vtjjaurigueDined on 9/13/2012Eclectic menu. Should be able to find menu item for variety of foodies. Thoroughly enjoyed appetizers of plantains, fried pigs ears, and pork rinds! The entrees of grouper with pico de gallo and chicken over pesto penne pasta were extremely delicious! Dessert of flan with coconut and mint garnish was memorable for the unique taste. Friendly waiter - Peter. Chef was thoughtful to come to our table to check on our thoughts on the meals. Open air dining added to an exquisite restaurant experience.Special Features:
- Really nice spot on southHowardDined on 9/9/2012Really nice spot on south beach. Selected dinner menu but the food was great.Special Features:
- New chef has introduced aMWM1VIPDined on 9/3/2012New chef has introduced a wonderfully creative menu. Breakfast/lunch menu is also very satisfying. Two restaurants in one!Special Features:
- Can't wait to come back!OpenTable Diner Since 2010Dined on 8/4/2012We had a group of 13 and everyone from the waiters to the bar tender to the hostess was absolutely awesome! Very knowledgeable about the foods, full of information about the chef, beautiful location on ocean drive within walking distance to the beach. A quiet atmosphere but not intimidating. This was my first trip to Miami and I'm glad I picked this restaurant for our group! P.S. that was the best burger I have ever had in my life! I can't stop thinking about it! Consider Huntsville, Alabama in your expansion! :)Special Features:
- We picked Front Porch becauseRickDined on 7/12/2012We picked Front Porch because of the menu items on the website. Looked like a home style place. Apparently the chef changed the menu just that afternoon to a more expensive upscale menu. The old menu was posted at the hostess stand, but nothing from that menu was available. Our waiter was rude about the change and not at all helpful. The only time he was seen was after the check was dropped at our table. It was our last night in Miami and was spoiled by a subpar meal and bad service.. I would not recommend the Front Porch.

The Asteroids in our Neighborhood
Check out this video from Scott Manley, tracing thirty years of asteroid discovery and the deployment of new and more sensitive instruments to find them. From the green main belt asteroids, to the yellow dots that cross Venus' orbit, to the red that come near our own orbit … space has a lot of stuff in it. Nearly 600,000 objects known at the latest update.
But that doesn't mean we're in any special danger. As these objects, most very tiny, travel through their wonky, often angled orbits, they travel through a volume of 2,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 cubic km, or enough to fit a trillion Earths. Space may have a lot of stuff in it, but it's also very big.
Rest easy. We're watching the skies.

A ceremonial post
The Ancelottery knows all about anti-climax. Anti-climax is our middle name. The harrumphing noise of disappointment. The pitying look of dejection. All that hope and promise, followed by the inevitable come down and empty words of solace. And of course, the more ardent the expectation, the more frustrating the bathos. Or so we've been told.
Buoyed by last week's win over the league leaders, all the midweek talk was of "momentum" and Victory actually trying to gather some. For the first time in a long time, fans had some hope. As it turns out, it was false hope.
Jim Magilton's men took to the field with second placed Brisbane Roar for their very latest 'must-win, do-or-die, make-or-break, win-at-all-costs, so-important-that-FoxSports-have-over-emphasised-website-related-super-awesome-match-of-the-round-preview-with-Mel-McLaughlin' fixture, trying to forget about their recent appalling record at the Suncorp Stadium; a record as bad as anything ever released by Peter Andre.
Victory adopted, what in football circles is known as the Ardiles plan; a daring, exciting plan where the forwards attack with the kind of gung-ho, cavalier bravado usually reserved for pimply teenagers during schoolies week; while the defensive quartet attempt to simultaneously build sandcastles, blow bubbles and stop goals. (Outside of football this plan is sometimes known as an Awful plan.)
Melbourne started the game as they meant to go on; by covering their eyes and counting to 42 while Besart Berisha slalomed around four stationary witches hats dressed in fluoro, and rifled a shot past Ante Covic.
Hot on the heels of this historic brain-freeze, Fabio, Princess, eBay and the confused schoolboy that still answers to the name of "Petar", maintained their all-round flakiness to let the worst haircut this side of Mango Hill nip in for the second.
And just when we thought there may have been a way back into the game, the boys in day-glo concocted an even more outrageous way of failing to win, this time by treating us to the side-splitting slapstick sketch of eBay Luzardo hacking down Eric Portaloo®. Tee-hee! How we laughed! My, how we laughed.
But speaking post-game, Jim told us to "look at the positives", so look at the positives we shall:
1. Victory didn't get as mauled in the second half.
2. Harry Harry Kewell and Marco Rojas-he's-a-winger did well throughout, causing Ange Postecoglou to later describe himself as a "grumpy old bastard."
3. The Leaping Esky won the crossbar challenge with a strike that was hit so hard it was accompanied by a cartoon-style "THWACK!!!". (However this did result in the expenditure of his weekly allowance of energy and therefore result in him going back to the difficult business of moping around the centre circle for the rest of the game.)
And 4. Leigh Broxham didn't get on.
Victory now face the biggest must-win, must-win of all must-wins when they face Gold Coast United next weekend. In any other league it'd be a relegation battle.
Some people, over the course of the last week, have been very busy in Robina. No more so than the town's resident handyman. Poor old resident handyman was hard at work removing the Gold Coast United FC nameplate outside Skilled Park Stadium in order to make way for the stadium's official new signage: "Sit Down Comedy Club FC".
The debut act on the bill was Miron Bleiberg and the Two Clives, a tumultuous trio who, in The Ancelottery's opinion, relied on absurd comedy far too much. (Those requiring evidence of this fact need only look at their signing of U-S-A! midfield man, Alex Smith.)
To summarise their act in full:
One of the Clive's (the fat one… sorry, the really fat one) pulls a prank with Miron, smacking him across the face with a wet fish and appointing a seventeen-year old debutant to wear a piece of elastic around his bicep for the forthcoming fixture.
Miron endorses the idea, asks "what time is it, Eccles?", but then goes on to call the act "ceremonial" - "He will toss the coin, then he will ask Kristian Rees which way to go, and then Kristian will tell him what to do."
Clive (the really fat one) makes an off-the-cuff riff and suspends Miron.
Miron takes off his false leg and resigns!
Clive (the not as fat one) informs Miron that he can't quit because he's already been fired, and that the parrot's merely 'resting it's eyes'.
In a show of self-referential, self-deprecating humour, Clive (the really fat one) says that he has a 'dirty fork', that the A-league is "a joke" and that soccer is a "hopeless game."
Clive (the really fat one) sensing he's lost the audience, backtracks quickly and says, "I like soccer. Wibble."
Clive (the not as fat one) delivers the biggest laugh of the night when he says, "I'm sure Miron's got no more to say". Yeah right!
We never thought we'd say this, but here are a bunch of individuals that almost make Melbourne Victory look like a club with a well-planned future. Almost.
Draw ugly
Six days ago, after witnessing Melbourne Victory's somewhat shambolic, Australia day showdown with Sydney FC, The Ancelottery sat down in front of our slightly scuffed, Jonathan Ive designed typewriter and stared forlornly at the white space where words were meant to go. What could we say about Victory's latest capitulation that we hadn't said before? How on earth could we spin a fresh perspective on it?
We cracked our knuckles. Furrowed our brow. Stared at the blank space for an indistinguishable amount of time. Rocked back and forth. Weeped gently. Banged our collective fists on the table and exclaimed loudly: "It's no good, it can't be done!"
Fast forward seven days and imagine our anguish at surveying Melbourne's latest inept offering, this time against a Gold Coast side, that not only hasn't won since Boxing Day, but also has an "average age under zero".
Hopelessly tired and at the end of our tether, it finally dawned on us how much better our lives would be if we didn't have to write about Melbourne's unnerving ability to outdo their previous levels of failure by, say, conceding a 94th minute goal at the hands of some guy who hadn't scored a goal of any form in his previous 189 games of professional football.
Or how much joy it would bring if we didn't have to invent clever similes about Victory's lead throwing ability being akin to that of a careless dog walker. Or if we didn't have to invent clever similes about Melbourne's lead blowing ability being akin to that of a… *cough* *cough* *cough*…
Well, let's just say… last night was bad, real bad. So bad that we almost contemplated watching a TV1 marathon of Everybody Loves Raymond. Almost.
But according to Jim Magilton there were "positives" to be taken from last night's exhibition. Although quite what these positives were, nobody knows, as the Norn Oirish coach didn't speculate further. However we'd like to congratulate:
• Jean Carlos Solorzano for proving, once-and-for-all, that Costa Ricans can run.
• Harry Kewell for his subconscious Freudian repetition of the word "disgusted" to a stuttering Mel McLaughlin.
• Miron Bleiberg for talking without breathing for eight minutes straight.
• And; Tom Pondeljak for not playing.
Well done. Well done to you all.
What was it Einstein said about insanity?
Sepp Blatter has had some bad ideas in his time. Take his idea to stamp out racism by simply "shaking hands." Or his idea for a photo-opp standing next to a black man in the subsequent fall-out from given racism debacle. Or what about his idea to advise homosexuals to "refrain from any sexual activities" when in Qatar?
Up until recently, The Ancelottery thought Blatter's craziest notion was his whimsical plan to
pander to the needs of an American market make games more exciting by introducing a penalty shoot-out to eliminate stalemates at the next FIFA World Cup. A move that would certainly not be popular with the England national team.
But, having recently witnessed Melbourne Victory FC churn out
eight six mind-numbingly frustrating draws from the opening ten rounds, it left us wondering… would it be that ridiculous an idea? Surely it's what every football (sic) fan wants to see? Imagine the thrill of witnessing the haircut that is Paulo Retre outdo his recent effort against LA Galaxy by sending the ball so high into the sky that the Australian Air Force issue a no-fly zone over Docklands. Or; gasp in wonder as Leigh Broxham wastes his chance to add to his incredible goalscoring record by conspicuously fouling an opponent on his way up to the spot, tripping over the ball, and then skulking off to make yet another, "lighthearted monthly podcast featuring the latest music, interviews and gags."
The fallout of course, would include a ringing public endorsement from Head Coach Mehmet Durakovic, regardless of the result - well, maybe it's not such a good idea after all?
Alternatively of course, Victory could just hold on to a lead, instead of throwing away more points than a World Championship Darts player.
"It's disappointing, having played them off the park, and totally dominated possession," declared Mehmet Durakovic with an admirably straight face, contravening all available evidence to the contrary in the aftermath of Victory's most recent capitulation to Badelaide United. In fact, Durakovic's entire post-match press conference was merely a deft exercise that involved the clever use of smoke and shiny reflective surfaces.
"The boys are really playing the way I want them to play… I'm very happy with the way the boys played… with short, sharp passing™" he proclaimed, before making the worrying observation that, "Harry's on fire, Carlos is on fire, Archie's on fire".
All of which happened after Mehm had come up with the stunning realisation that, "Adelaide scored from a shot and, basically, that's football." Astounding.
Meanwhile, The Miron Bleiberg Show, now in it's third season, is better than ever. It even got a glowing tribute from Archie Thomspon this week. Look out for the DVD in time for Christmas. It's a real stocking filler.
A homie and a homo
Sorry Dear Reader, but we have some distressing news for you… referee, Ben Williams is a "gypsy homo". Yes. Shocking, we know.
Quite how bit-part Adelaide defender, Anthony Golec can be so sure of Williams' sexual leanings, or of his preference for a nomadic lifestyle, is beyond us - however in a move which is sure to please FIFA President, Sepp Blatter, Golec took to the 'Twitterverse' during Saturday nights Victory v Brisbane game to let each and every one of his 9 followers know about Williams' affliction. Cue: retracted statement, apology and a poor excuse about it being a, "humorous message intended for my equally homophobic, narrow-minded brother".
And Anthony's subsequent misguided apology, in which he manages to apologise to repressed referee's worldwide but not gays or gypsies, means that we can only surmise as to which club might next benefit from his unique brand of team spirit. A spirit which is sure to be popular with teammate and gay rights advocate, Evgeniy Levchenko. Hmmm awkward.
Not that we're defending Ben Williams' refereeing performance, which was about as poor a performance as seen in living memory. Mark Bosnich hit the nail on the head at half-time when he said, "the crowd is there to see the players, not you Ben". Williams' ruined what could have been one of the all-time greatest A-league games, and to see him smiling as he did so, was particularly galling.
On what Ange Postecoglou described as a "weird, crazy, old night", Archie Thomspon revealed that Victory have "Phar Lap hearts". Although we're pretty certain that Tom Pondeljak's myogenic muscular organ won't be preserved in solution at the National Museum of Australia.
Despite being sent down to nine men by the hapless official, we had complete confidence in the men in blue, a sentiment echoed by Thomspon in his post-match press conference: "I must admit, when I saw Ante Covic get sent off I thought the floodgates are going to open." Oh.
In case you missed it, it's very easy to create and conduct your own Mehmet Durakovic post-match press conference. Just throw the phrases, "What can you do?", "I couldn't ask for any more", "different class", "credit to (insert opposition here)" and "who shall we pick next week Kev?" into a hat and repeat them in various combinations, whilst smirking inanely at the camera.
Elsewhere, human headline, Moron Bleiberg smells a conspiracy. Using his usual post-match discretion, Bleiberg was quick to describe referee, Peter Green, as a "homie." No, not this type of homie, but one who is employed by the FFA to ensure that Sydney FC get penalties, points and punters of 15-20,000, to make "everybody happy." We think it'll take more than one biased ref to get that many people to a Sydney game.
Twenty four hours later, Bleiberg was asked to clarify his comments. He neatly covered his tracks by stating, "my feeling and my players' feeling is that referee fought for any excuse in order to give Sydney the game." We can't see an FFA fine happening as a result of that one then.

Ricky Gervais Says He's Open to Hosting the Oscars
A few days ago, Mark Burnett told Gold Derby's Tom O'Neil that he thought Ricky Gervais would be a perfect Golden Globes crossover candidate for 2014 Oscar show hosting duties. He even went so far as to make his Webcam case directly to Gervais.
That kind of thing is too good an opportunity for most journalists to pass up and, sure enough, this morning O'Neil has an exclusive update. Gervais says he would be completely open to dishing from the Dolby Theatre stage. With one proviso:
"On the one hand I would be incredibly flattered and whatever you think of those sort of things, it would be a thrill and an honor to be asked," Gervais said. "On the other hand I doubt the job offer would come without some strings attached. The worst string being, handing in my credentials as a comedian in favor of a family entertainer. We have to be able to poke fun at society without favoring any part of it because we are beholden to someone…"

The EU's Council of Employment, Social Policy, Health and Consumer Affairs Ministers will meet on 19 and 20 June in Luxembourg.
To better protect the more than 217 million workers in the EU from work-related accidents and diseases, the European Commission presented today a new Strategic Framework on Health and Safety at Work 2014-2020, which identifies key challenges and strategic objectives for health and safety at work, presents key actions and identifies instruments to address these.
European Commissioner for Employment, Social Affairs and Inclusion, László Andor, and ILO Director General, Guy Ryder, have agreed to step up cooperation in the area of health and safety at work as a means to enhance synergy and promote consistency in the way occupational safety and health challenges are addressed at global level, and so better address this key challenge across the world.
Stress is one of the most frequently reported work-related health problem in Europe and is believed to be the cause of the majority of all lost working days.
