Learning Center offers finals survival tips
No amount of last-minute cramming can help your student if he or she hasn't been studying all semester, but these tips from The Learning Center can help.
2. PLAN your study time. Use your time to your best advantage. Make a study chart. Designate specified amounts of time to each subject.
3. Break up study time according to subjects. You can't concentrate on one subject for hours on end, so drop it and spend time on another subject. Return to the original subject with a fresh mind.
4. REWARD yourself. For every hour of studying, give yourself a 10 minute break. It may help to set a reminder on your phone or use a timer.
5. Be good to YOURSELF. Eat well, dress well, and sleep well. On study breaks, do whatever it is that you enjoy doing: read, work out, listen to music, meet friends for lunch, or walk your dog.
6. DON'T depend on study groups. Designate plenty of independent study time.
7. Study what is IMPORTANT. Use your syllabus, prior tests and your impressions of the professor/instructor to help you decide what will most likely be on the final.
8. ASK yourself questions. Make up questions as you go. This will help you retain the information.
9. Study BACKWARDS. You are most liable to forget what was taught at the beginning of the semester, so start with the most recent material and move backwards. This will give you a chance to study the earlier material just before the test.
10. RELAX for the half-hour or hour before the test. Do ANYTHING to help you relax and take your mind off the test for a half-hour or so.

Miami, FL (Sports Network) - Jack McKeon's final series as manager of the Marlins began with a loss.
Michael Morse belted a three-run home run with two outs in the top of the ninth inning, sending the Washington Nationals to a 6-4 win over Florida Monday night.
Earlier in the day, 80-year-old McKeon, the interim manager of the Marlins, officially announced that he will not return as skipper next season. Ozzie Guillen, who was released from his contract as manager of the White Sox Monday night, is reportedly in line to take over the Marlins next season as they move into a new stadium.
Marlins reliever Edward Mujica (9-6) worked himself into trouble from the start of the ninth. Pinch-hitter Laynce Nix and Ian Desmond singled, but Mujica struck out Rick Ankiel and induced a groundout from Ryan Zimmerman and could see his way out of the inning. But he left a splitter out over the plate and Morse made him pay for it with his 30th homer, a shot to left-center.
"Its tough, you think you're on the verge of closing one out, McKeon said. "The guys battled their tails off, we just couldn't finish it off."
McKeon took over the Marlins during the 2003 campaign, he led the team to a 75-49 record, a wild card berth and the World Series title with a win over the Yankees. He was named the NL Manager of the Year that season, marking his second such honor as he also won the award in 1999 with Cincinnati.
Atahualpa Severino (1-0) pitched a scoreless eighth for his first major league win and Henry Rodriguez finished off the Marlins in the bottom of the inning to nail down his second save of the year.
Rick Ankiel had two RBI and Desmond scored three times for the Nats, who have won three in a row and eight of their last nine.
"A lot of good thing happened," Nationals manager Davey Johnson said.
Logan Morrison ripped a solo home run and Omar Infante had a triple in a for the Marlins, who have dropped four straight.
Florida got off to a good start for McKeon in the second frame when Morrison drove a high fastball from Nationals starter Tom Milone into the seats in right field for his 23rd home run of the season.
The Nats evened the game in the third thanks to a pair Marlins miscues. Desmond reached first on an error by Emilio Bonifacio, stole second, then took third on a balk by Marlins starter Anibal Sanchez before coming home on a groundout by Ankiel.
The Marlins took the lead in the third when Infante ripped a two-out triple and crossed the plate on a single to third by Mike Stanton that went off the glove of Zimmerman and into left field, but the Nats came back with a pair of runs in the fourth to take a 3-2 lead.
Wilson Ramos singled and came around to score two batters later on a double by Desmond, who then scored on a double by Ankiel.
Florida loaded the bases with one out in the fifth and were gifted the tying run when Nats reliever Craig Stammen uncorked a wild pitch, allowing Vinny Rottino to score.
The Marlins took the lead in the seventh with a two-out rally. Infante began things with an infield single and Mike Stanton drew a walk. Gaby Sanchez then came through with an RBI single to left.

Access Board Issues Draft Final Rule for Outdoor Developed AreasSubmitted by Anonymous on January 25, 2010 - 6:09pm.
by Jennifer Skulski
Accessibility guidelines for outdoor developed areas managed by federal agencies are one step closer to becoming standards. On October 19, 2009, the U.S. Access Board released the Draft Final Accessibility Guidelines for Federal Outdoor Areas covered by the Architectural Barriers Act.
This draft marks another milestone of more than 15 years of work by the Access Board and vested stakeholders including regulatory negotiation in 1999. The issuance of this draft document brings the adoption of accessibility guidelines for outdoor developed areas closer to finalization and implementation under the Architectural Barriers Act. It further defines accessibility considerations for outdoor recreation environments and provides needed guidance to land managers on minimum standards to design for the inclusion of people with disabilities in these outdoor environments.

A2R Webinar ArchivesSubmitted by Anonymous on September 11, 2009 - 11:11am.
The W.K. Kellogg Foundation Access to Recreation grant program provided $15 million in funding to 36 recreation projects in four Midwestern states from 2006 to 2009. Projects were selected based on their concepts for embracing universal design, opportunity to facilitate inclusion of people of all abilities and opportunity to serve as an exemplar of universal design to community planners, recreation practitioners and advocates. Over the summer of 2009, the National Center on Accessibility hosted three free 90-minute sessions. The webinars presented an overview of the project concepts, the planning process, design decisions, construction issues, and fundraising. This was an excellent opportunity for professionals seeking the latest information on universal design trends specific to parks and recreation. The series was sponsored by the Michigan Recreation and Park Association Foundation.

Gary Robb to Retire from Indiana University After Successful Career as Advocate for the Inclusion of People with DisabilitiesSubmitted by Anonymous on May 16, 2008 - 8:32am.
I have always believed and felt that whatever contributions that I have made have been mostly because of the people that I have been fortunate to surround myself with. Success, however that is measured, is not due to my brilliance or intelligence, but is due to my ability to get people to believe in me, my passion for my work and in the greater societal outcomes that we will eventually achieve. Nelson Henderson once wrote, "The true meaning of life is to plant trees under whose shade you do not expect to sit." I at least feel like that is what I have tried to do. To put it another way (and I don't know who said this)--- You get the best efforts from others not by lighting a fire beneath them, but by building a fire within. That is what I believe I have been all about.
After more than three decades as a leader in the fields of therapeutic recreation and accessibility, Gary Robb, Director of the National Center on Accessibility, former Director of Bradford Woods, and Associate Professor at Indiana University, is retiring at the end of May, 2008. His career and "jobs" are best summarized as passionate advocacy for the inclusion of people with disabilities in outdoor recreation. His leadership, nationally and internationally, has resulted in immeasurable contributions to the field of inclusive recreation. Through his work as a camp director, administrator, center founder, researcher and educator, coupled with various roles on national boards and committees, he has created a greater awareness of the need for accessible recreation that has led to an outgrowth of new opportunities for people with disabilities to fully participate and enjoy the benefits of recreation.
Through his career, he has built Bradford Woods as an international model of outdoor leadership, environmental education and programming for children with disabilities. He is the founding director of the National Center on Accessibility (NCA), one of the premiere resource centers promoting the inclusion of people with disabilities in parks and recreation. In addition, he is a founding board member and served as the first president of the National Alliance for Accessible Golf, a collaboration of the golf industry, advocates and golfers with disabilities, striving to make the recreational pursuit more accessible to people with disabilities. Gary has served on both the U.S. Access Board's Recreation Access Advisory Committee and Regulatory Negotiating Committee on Outdoor Developed Areas. Over the years, he has served as president of the National Therapeutic Recreation Society (NTRS) and trustee to the National Recreation and Park Association. He has received distinguished service awards and citations from NTRS including commendations for NCA and Camp Allen, along with founding and coordinating the International Symposium on Therapeutic Recreation. Gary has edited and written more than 50 textbooks and articles. He has made professional presentations to hundreds of organizations and, in the last 10 years alone, he has directed more than $10 million in contracts and grants.
Gary earned his Bachelor of Science in Therapeutic Recreation and a Master of Science in Recreation and Park Administration from the University of Utah. A well-guarded secret, Gary attended Utah on a baseball scholarship, playing left field for the collegiate team. Prior to that, he earned junior college All American mention at the College of Eastern Utah. His batting average his sophomore year was over .600. He was later drafted by the Philadelphia Phillies but decided a job in parks and recreation may be a little more dependable than working his way up to the majors from the Phillies' farm team. In Salt Lake City, Gary was a recreation therapist and later chief at the Children's Psychiatric Center of the Primary Children's Hospital. In 1970, he began his first stint in teaching as an instructor in the Department of Leisure Studies and Services at the University of Massachusetts-Amherst and then as an assistant professor in the Department of Leisure Studies at the University of Illinois. Shortly thereafter, he was named the executive director for Camp Allen in Bedford, New Hampshire.
It wasn't until 1979 when he was appointed as the executive director of Bradford Woods by Dr Ted Deppe, Chairperson of the Department of Recreation and Park Administration at Indiana University, that Gary was truly able to merge his interests in therapeutic recreation with his love for the outdoors. Nestled on 2,400 acres halfway between Bloomington and Indianapolis, Bradford Woods had been a quiet treasure gifted to Indiana University by John Bradford at the urging of Hoosier poet James Whitcomb Riley. In the late 1950s, Dr. Reynold Carlson of the University's Recreation Department, a pioneer in the outdoor recreation field, began developing this area into an outdoor teaching lab for students in the IU School of Health, Physical Education and Recreation. Gary was appointed by the Chair to see to it that Bradford Woods grow to its great potential as an outdoor learning lab.
Under Gary's leadership and over the next three decades, Bradford Woods emerged as an international model in camp programming for children with disabilities and environmental education for elementary age students. Gary worked extensively with the Indianapolis-based Riley Children's Hospital to make Camp Riley a model of progressive outdoor programming for children with severe and profound disabilities. The Bradford Woods model has been studied internationally and has served as a conceptual foundation for other specialty camps developed throughout the United States. In addition, Gary facilitated the development of programming to utilize the 2,400 acre outdoor center of Indiana University year round for environmental, experiential and challenge education, coupled with service learning, leadership, team building and professional development programming. Thousands of Indiana fifth graders have participated in the residential environmental education program at Bradford Woods. Hoosier parents throughout Indiana proudly send their fifth graders off for the week of environmental education while recalling their own experiences of nature hikes and star gazing. Full story >>

What seems to be the most ubiquitous mistake in Mad Men is so frequent as to be invisible: the phrase "I need to." Modern scripts set in 1960s, including Mad Men, use it constantly: it's about as frequent as everyday words like "good," "between," or "most." But to say "I need to" so much is a surprisingly modern practice: books, television shows, and movies from the 1960s use it at least ten times less often, and many never use it all. Sixties dialogue written back then used "ought to" far more often than modern imitators do. I checked several movies and TV seasons from 1960 to 1965, and all use "ought to" more often than "need to"; every modern show I could find set in the '60s does the reverse. Google Ngrams shows the trend clearly as well.
That's just a statistic, but it hints at something deeper. Even more than anachronism, a core theme of Mad Men is the lost art of personal reserve, self-effacement, and mystery. When Don Draper says, "Tell Jimmy I need to talk to him" in season 2 instead of "I have to talk to him," it hits a slightly more narcissistic, self-revealing note than it should. A baby boomer might set up a business meeting by invoking his personal needs; but a member of the "silent generation"—particularly one living a double life like Draper—doesn't talk about himself quite so readily.

I worked at law firms for 25 years. I observed many things and heard many others.
Now I work in-house, and I have to select counsel to represent me.
If I saw you in action (or heard about your reputation) back then, will I hire you now?
It's obvious how you could have impressed me: You could have put the client's interests first, and you could have been breathtakingly good when analyzing issues, negotiating settlements, preparing briefs, or appearing in court.
But what could I have seen or heard that forever removed you from my subconscious "approved" list? What are the deadly sins?

That's where the original poster is starting from...
You commenting on exploitation is kind of like asking a deaf person what
their favorite song is. You obviously have no clue what you are talking
about due to the fact you offered absolutely no insight in to the protection
mechanism he was asking about, nor potential means of exploitation. Given
this the real question remains, do you actually believe you have any clue
about this stuff, or are you like Wallace and just want to post useless
Given the starting point, do you *really* think the original poster would
have understood an in-depth explanation of all the technical details, rather
than some hints as to the next thing he needs to learn about? He's not going
to get anywhere until he learns at least that there's that canary on the
stack, and where it is in relation to the various variables and things like
the return address.
After that, yes, he faces *other* challenges. But he'll learn more by thinking
through each issue on his own than if somebody hands him the whole enchilada.

[EN] Game of Thrones S04 set in Iceland (july 2013)
Visit Shareboard for various interesting links and topics!
During my vacation in Iceland i stumbled upon the filmset of Game Of Thrones. I'm not such a big fan of the show but you guys might enjoy these pictures of the set. These pictures are from july 2013 and are probably for Season 4 (airing right now).
There were two trailerparks, one in the north on the cliff and one in the south. The actors on the cliff were very close to Öxarárfoss, the waterfall in the second picture.
The area is called Þingvellir. It is a national park that is a half hour away from Reykjavík (The capital city of Iceland, also the only reasonable sized city in Iceland).

Difficulty Level Easy
Last week I wrote about the increasing cost of bread and the decision to take up my daughter's challenge to bake my own bread for a month. Together we have successfully baked our way through the first week. We have made whole-wheat bread, potato bread, potato rosemary focaccia, steamed pork buns, and the hands-down winner, sweet potato rolls. I learned a couple of important things this week. It really is significantly cheaper to bake your own bread, and you are much less likely to waste any of it because it is the product of your own hands.
Our efforts yielded three loaves of bread, one focaccia, 12 pork buns, and 16 rolls. If I had purchased those, I estimate it would have cost just shy of $50.00. I spent $6 on unbleached all-purpose flour, about 50 cents on a sweet potatoes, and $9 on a pork loin, which stretched to a dinner for three; the pork buns which provided two lunches. Everything else I had on hand already. So my total expenditure for all that bread was only $11. Even if I had to buy the whole-wheat flour, the potatoes and the yeast, it still would have been less than half of what the store-bought bread would cost. The heel ends of the bread went into the freezer for future use as croutons or bread crumbs, and there were no leftovers of anything else.
On top of the cost benefit, I knew that there were no preservatives in my bread and that my flour hadn't been chemically treated to whiten it. It also was a lot of fun. My daughter was treated to the comical sight of me struggling to knead the potato dough so sticky that my hands virtually disappeared into it. That dough rose so much that it poured over the sides of the bread pan and looked like an episode from I Love Lucy. It also was really delicious. The sweet potato rolls were not only fabulous the first day, but they also made wonderful toast. We agreed that this is a recipe we would go back to again and again.
|3/4 lb
|sweet potato, peeled and cut into chunks (1 large)
|1 tsp
|active dry yeast
|1/4 cup
|packed light brown sugar
|3 1/2 to 4 1/2 cups
|unbleached all-purpose flour
|2 tbsp
|unsalted butter, softened
|1 tbsp
|large or extra-large eggs
|egg, whisked, for egg wash
- Put the sweet potato in a saucepan with about 2 cups of water and bring to a boil. Cook for about 15 minutes, until tender. Drain, reserving the cooking water. Mash or puree the potato (you should have about 1 1/4 cups) and place in a large bowl. Let the potato and the cooking water cool to lukewarm.
- Measure out 1 cup of the lukewarm cooking water and stir in the yeast to dissolve thoroughly, Add the yeast mixture to the potato, then stir in the brown sugar and 1 cup of the flour. Add the butter and salt and stir, then add the 2 eggs and mix well. Add 2 more cups of flour, a cup at a time.
- Dust a work surface generously with flour and turn out the dough. Knead for about 5 minutes, until soft, smooth and somewhat elastic. Place in a clean bowl, cover with plastic wrap or a clean tea towel, and let rise in a warm, draft free place until doubled, about 4 hours.
- Pull the dough away from the sides of the bowl and turn out onto a lightly floured surface. Lightly grease an 18x12-inch baking sheet with butter. Use a sharp knife or a dough scraper to divide the dough into 16 pieces (cut it in half, then cut in half again and again). Using your cupped palm, pressing the dough lightly into your work surface, roll 1 piece into a round roll by rolling it in a short circular motion about ten times. Place the shaped roll on the baking sheet. Continue with the remaining dough, placing the rolls about 1/2 inch apart on the baking sheet. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise for 30 to 40 minutes.
- Place rack in the centre of the oven and preheat the oven to 400F. Just before baking, brush the tops of the rolls with the egg wash. Bake for 30 minutes, or until the rolls are a deep brown on top and a golden orange at the sides. They will be nested together, touching.
- Let cool for 10 minutes before serving. Store, once completely cooled, in a well-sealed plastic bag.

Domino's India Web site hacked, customer data leaked
Summary: The pizza retailer's site in India was reportedly hacked by a Turkish group, which leaked personal information including passwords and phone numbers from 37,000 accounts online.
The Indian Web site of pizza retailer Domino's was hacked by a Turkish group, which leaked information from about 37,000 accounts online. The data included names, phone numbers, email addresses, and passwords.
In a report Tuesday by the Business Standard, the culprits behind the breach called themselves the Turkish Ajan Hacker Group.
The hack was done via SQL injection method and remote file inclusion, one of the most common methods for stealing private data from web databases, according to the news agency. The news daily explained that through this, the site's database is tricked into revealing data that should be hidden by 'injecting' certain commands.
The news follows a recent spate of hacking of company Web sites in India. In May, electricity company AP Power Generation had its site hacked by hacktivist group Anonymous. In March, the government revealed that 112 of its sites had been breached in the first three months of the year.

On the heels of hotels like Yotel and Aloft, a crop of new brands is designed for millennial travelers.
Marriott International recently announced that it would open Moxy Hotels this summer, a high-style, value-priced chain featuring relatively small rooms — about 170 square feet — with wall-size art and large windows that provide a sense of space. To balance these, public spaces are generous, designed as social settings for work and play, with ample outlets for charging mobile devices and free Wi-Fi. A lounge will offer continental breakfast in the morning and local beer and wine in the evening, with a 24-hour market for snacks to go.
The first Moxy will open at Milan's Malpensa Airport in August, with another five scheduled to open in Europe through 2015. For now, Moxys will only be in Europe.
"When evaluating the economy tier in Europe, we found a lot of independent hotels, and what was available was dull and uninspiring," said Tina Edmundson, Marriott International's global brand officer for luxury and lifestyle brands. Read more…

- Yummy!OpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 10/23/2014Divine atmosphere, wonderful drinks and mocktails for those who don't. Excellent pasta- love how everything is made in house!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Never disappoints!VickiDined on 10/21/2014Good food and wine list and moderate noise level make for a good experience.Special Features:
- Nice pre-theater optionbanditaVIPDined on 10/21/2014A civilized place to have a drink, an appetizer or, if carefully chosen, a pre-theater dinner. Good service and nice ambience; striking decor that is still warm-feeling. The blistered peppers appetizer we tried was excellent, and my husband enjoyed his chicken and greens entrée. My pork entrée was a miss; unexceptional sausage and pork cheeks that were fried into a tasteless fishstick-like square.
- invisableVIPDined on 10/18/2014Again, service is fine until you order, then the waiters drift off. We were clear we had theater tickets, which the waiter acknowledged - but with 30 minutes to go to the curtain, he was no where to be found and continued to be AWOL until left one person behind to pay the bill while the others went to the theater with 5 minutes to spare. Food fab, a bit noisy downstairs but then the experience is always in peril at the end.Special Features:
- Perfectly paired.bourdeauxDined on 10/18/2014Fantastic service. My boyfriend and I had reservations and I was a little disappointed with the table given. It was a two top in the middle of the main dining area and seriously lacked privacy. I voiced this to the hostess and she was extremely professional, went back to the hostess table to find a more romantic spot for two. When she came back she guided us to a table upstairs along the wall, perfectly intimate and paired with our expectations. Given the exceptional customer service, we were eager to enjoy our bottle of wine, cheese assortment, pasta dishes and dessert. I knocked off one star because the Tiramisu was more of a cake rather than a spongey, layered piece of goodness that my palate is used to.Special Features:
- Different and deliciousToscanadinerDined on 10/17/2014The mortadella pizza was fantastic. So good! Interesting pasta dishes with unique ingredients. Chef has been written about highly in many articles and for good reason!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- DisappointingrivadivaVIPDined on 10/16/2014I have eaten in Italy many, many times, and the food at Balena does not taste like any authentic Italian food I have tasted. The tiramisu was good, but the entrees were just fair.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 10/14/2014Great pasta -perfectly al dente. The pizza was fine, but I wouldn't come back for it.Special Features:
- Above and BeyondwillbebackDined on 10/11/2014I made a note in our reservation that we would be celebrating our 1 year wedding anniversary. The staff went above and beyond to acknowledge our special day. They even signed a happy anniversary card and provided dessert with a candle. Very thoughtful!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2005VIPDined on 10/11/2014I think this was my 5th visit to Balena. I brought 3 out of town guests for a pre-Steppenwolf dinner. They all loved the restaurant. We returned after the play for dessert.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Anniversary dinnerDe123Dined on 10/11/2014The pizza and pasta were 10/10. The restaurant was so pretty and the server was super nice. We even got a card that said Happy Anniversary and it was signed by the staff. It was such a great experienceSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- The New BalenaCityGirlVIPDined on 10/11/2014We had not been to Balena for a while and were pleasantly surprised by it's new look. We actually liked the previous look, but this one is an improvement. The upstairs is especially attractive. Our hostess said it would be quieter upstairs, but it was quite noisy. Otherwise, a very pleasant experience.Special Features:
- Great service and delicious foodOpenTable Diner Since 2007Dined on 10/9/2014We had a wonderful dining experience mid week. My dining companion was very particular and the staff did everything to make our experience perfect. The food was excellent! I will be back oftenSpecial Features:
- BalenaBob46VIPDined on 10/7/2014Very good Italian food, with excellent service and a very pleasant decorSpecial Features:
- Delicious food. Great service.kkpieDined on 10/3/2014We had play tix at Steppenwolf and wanted a nice place for dinner before the show. Balena was perfecto. Delicious eclectic food. Great drinks. Excellent ambience.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- DeliciousLisa4Dined on 10/2/2014I've eaten here twice in the past 2 months and I think it is fantastic. Menu was completely different, but equally as good.Special Features:
- Best experience this yearJPayksDined on 9/30/2014All in all, this was one of the best nights I've had all year. My guest, the birthday girl, and I sat at the new Chef's Table. She said this was the best food she's ever eaten. I cannot thank the staff enough for giving her that experience. I look forward to my next experience at Balena. It's really Chicago's best restaurant.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Loosing Lustre?KrugieVIPDined on 9/30/2014I've always enjoyed Balena,the dishes,the service,the ambiance,everything.This year went with a friend to celebrate our birthdays and it wasn't the Balena I remembered.The service was abrupt and rushed,although the place was not crowded.The Burrata w Eggplant for $18 adorned 3 tiny pieces of eggplant,perhaps 4 leaves of mustard green and 2 toast points.Ridiculous.For our entree we ordered the Trout,which again was a very small portion,overcooked,and lentils that looked as though they had been in the pot for days.To close,our server ran our bill thru 4 times!And it was still a problem.So much so,that my credit card was put on hold for possible fraudulent activity.Not fun.The best part of the meal was the birthday card they made.Special Features:
- Friendly, Fast and FunOpenTable Diner Since 2010Dined on 9/30/2014Great service coupled with intriguing and varied food choices served artfully in an interesting and entertaining environment.Special Features:
- Great date spotloveitorleaveitDined on 9/27/2014Balena is a great spot for a swanky girls night out, or an intimidate date night. The ambience was beautiful and the food was perfect for sharing. I'd definitely recommend this place to friends.Special Features:
- Not ImpressedZeta919Dined on 9/27/2014I absolutely love trying new places around the city. I saw the reviews about Balena and was excited to try it. Unfortunately, our service was VERY slow. It took 3 and a half hours for four people to eat dinner, not to mention we had 1 app, 1 pizza and 1 meal at our table. It wasn't like we ordered a ton of food. The prawns were disgusting! The eyes were still on the shrimp and the aiolia sace was terrible. If I ever was forced to go back, I'd stick with their drinks--not the food.Special Features:
- BalenaJulesMack1Dined on 9/27/2014Pasta was quite salty. ( had the lamb pancetta) number one complaint is we must of had 4 different people serving us, so it was difficult to decide what/who to tip! Waitress changed from the beginning to another one, who was good at first, but then became MIA then we had the bartender, manager, and another server coming around. They need to figure this out, as it's confusing and not personal. Other than that, ambiance is great, pizza we had was good, and my friends meal was wonderful they said.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- ExcellentKsheri1011Dined on 9/25/2014The food was incredible. The wine exquisite. Our waiter was personable and helpful. Great night!Special Features:
- Great food and perfect serviceChicagoDined on 9/25/2014everything about the restaurant was great. Servers were always very atentative. We had food from each menu course. Favorite was the fresh rigatoni, beats were also great. The steak was done a bit rare for me, we ordered med but was rare. Desert was delicious. Great place.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- 5th time inOpenTable Diner Since 2010Dined on 9/25/2014This is by far one of my favorite spots in the city, I like to come in at least once a month and get my pasta and pizza craving fixed. There service is always great, we were here on a Thursday night and the place wasn't too buy so it was perfect for a quick drink and a small meal with a friend. We didn't feel rush, the server was attentive. Can't wait to return.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great EveningEggsDined on 9/21/2014Although I have been here numerous times,I have never been disappointed.Very consistant.Special Features:
- Hidden gem.KatieMarie1488VIPDined on 9/21/2014Balena, despite its unimpressive outer facade, is beautiful inside and houses quite the ambiance. Highly recommend the pizza; underwhelmed by some of the other food. But excellent wine list and terrific atmosphere nonetheless. I was pleasantly surprised.Special Features:
- Location, Location, LocationWrigleyFielderDined on 9/21/2014Since this is right across from the Steppenwolf Theatre and a quick stroll from the North/Clybourne Red Line 'L' station, the convenience can't be beat. Great service allowed us to have an appetizer, main course, wine and dessert in < 75 mins. Tables designed for couples and groups of friends or family so it's all good. Disappointed with the brushetta selections being too experimental (tripe!) and no bread and olive oil opener, but thats just my taste. Trout was outstanding and fabulous extensive wine list with pictures of Italian wine regions will keep you wanting to try more. No patio seating or wine flights, but otherwise a winner.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- cjbacpDined on 9/20/2014Overall very good food. No complaints in that department, and some dishes were top-notch. The smoked mackerel appetizer is a must, and both of our pastas were a must. I wouldn't recommend the pork dish, which came with a rather unimpressive sausage and pork-belly. The pork belly was expertly cooked, but the proportion of fat to actual meat was very disappointing. The pickled vegetables underneath were alright but nothing to salvage the price tag of the dish. Fantastic desserts and cocktails. As for service, our waitress was absolutely terrific. I deducted a star because we waited for maybe thirty-five minutes between our first dish and our main courses (for which our waitress was very apologetic and comped us dessert).Special Features:
- Poor service, mediocre foodHello3VIPDined on 9/20/2014I went to his restaurant when it first opened and the service was horrible. I decided to give it another try since it had been opened for a while now. Not only was the service still bad, but the food was mediocre. The beet salad was awful and the pasta with kale was salty. It was also so noisy. I'm definitely not going back.Special Features:
- Good food / Okay serviceFromTheBurbs84Dined on 9/20/2014Food was great but our waiter seemed to forget about us halfway through the meal, which resulted in us not having time to get dessert (which we were really looking forward to) before we had to leave and make our theatre timeline. Even though we told the waiter specifically what time we had to leave by. Overall, would go back again when we are able to take our time and commit a full 2 hours to dining.Special Features:
- normally love Balena but mehlovegoodfoodVIPDined on 9/19/2014The menu is this fall is boring. not sure of it is a new chef but wound love to see some better dishes. the shrimp dish was terrible and all the sides just meager.I would recommend this to a friend.
- Yummy, but too noisy!Love2eatVIPDined on 9/19/2014We really enjoyed the food ( leek, fontina cheese and mushroom pizza was awesome!), but it was very difficult to have a conversation, as the acoustics in the main dining area are really loud and amplify everything. I would only return if there were just 2 of us and we could be seated in an out of dining room area, otherwise you cannot hear anyone else at your table without yelling.Special Features:
- I would returnElf13Dined on 9/17/2014We took a chance on this restaurant on a recent trip to Chicago. We were pleased with our meal - the food was well prepared and service very good. Eating outside was very pleasant and we would definitely go back on a future trip.Special Features:
- greatPaulaDined on 9/13/2014this was my second trip to Balena and i thoroughly enjoyed the food, atmosphere and service. it was a little loud.Special Features:
- Good but not greatFryanDined on 9/13/2014The restaurant had been highly recommended but we were a bit disappointed. The food was good but not fantastic. The ambient noise levels were very high and it was difficult to chat at the table. The wines were very expensive, making the evening a quite expensive dining experience. We had an early booking and felt that they wanted us out quickly to allow turn a quick turnover.Special Features:
- Outstanding Service and FoodChristopherSDined on 9/13/2014My wife and I dined at Balena on Saturday night to celebrate our wedding anniversary and were thrilled with our meal there. From the welcoming vibe at the front to the proficient but unrushed service and the spot-on food, we had a fantastic dining experience. Thanks for a great memory!Special Features:
- One of my top ten meals of all timeMandiDined on 9/12/2014I made a reservation at Balena at the suggestion of a friend who lives in Chicago. She said her "foodie" friend really likes it. Her "foodie" friend was correct. We had an outstanding meal! The most notable part of our experience was the outstanding customer service displayed by the management team when our table was not ready for our 8:30 p.m. reservation... The staff went above and beyond to compensate for our 15 minute wait - complimentary glasses of wine and three appetizers on the house. This was a special dinner for my party of four. My sister, from Minneapolis, my mom, from St. Louis, my college friend, from Chicago and myself, from Columbus, OH, were together for the first time in many years. Five star experience!!!Special Features:
- Always a home runMylesVIPDined on 9/7/2014Never a swing and a miss here. Stopped in for some drinks and a pizza. As always the service and food were of the highest order.Special Features:
- Great every timelocalsDined on 9/6/2014This is my third time eating at Balena and it's always so great. We got the pasta dish with sea urchin and crab meat and it was very good, it's a very unique flavor that you never really experience. We also got the pizza that has the pine nut (or pistachio?) pesto with a very thin prosciutto-esque meat on top and that was also outstanding. The duck fat potatoes were unreal, that was a real treat. The only thing that was somewhat forgettable was the chicken thing dish, but it was still very good. Overall, still one of my favorite restaurants in Chicago!Special Features:

text: Recently, i had one of those (seems so real when your in it) type of dreams, where its all so clear looking it could basically be considered a false memory. I had dreamt of being lost in what looked like some kind of massive grown coniferous forest, Moss covered nearly everything from the tree trunks to the ground. If i looked up only chutes of light penetrated the top layer of thick branches and leaves that had to be at the very least 60 - 70 feet high. But somehow, i could see everything just fine. The forest was literally surrounding me for what could have been forever. i started feeling curious enough to walk without any nervousness for being lost at all. I immediatley saw a wall of trees in the distance. They were lined up in such a way that it created a barrier or "room". Peeking behind, there was a lake and something very strange. On the other side of the lake was a mass grave for all of the tank engine characters from the pbs show- "Thomas the tank engine" .Giant trains with faces , sunken into the dirt, vegetation growing over them, ceramic doll looking faces all suspended in animation, eyes open, all with a dead smile and a blank look in thier eye just sitting there. They were all over the place. But i couldnt reach it, i was separated by this lake, but i was close enough to see so many of these derailed choo choos with faces. The sight was eerie, and slightly unsettling. There was thomas amongs the others, staring into space, sunken into the moss and dirt, vines covering half his face like spidermans mask after a fight with doc ock. I looked around to see if there were any old tracks. Then,all i could wonder is what time was i living in.

Funemployed- What does that even mean?
To us, the word defines a time in our lives when we were struggling. We were young and new to the "real world." And though we joked about the apocalypse that was sure to be adulthood, there was nothing inherently fun or funny about not having jobs out of college.
But when my friends and I entered this strange period, it was always somehow reassuring to commiserate with a PBR on our laps while we watched The State in our underwear at 3 in the afternoon. And we still partied. And we still loved life, despite it all. Finally, in the winter of 2007, we decided to culminate this into an expression. When our friend David pegged himself "funemployed" for the first time, we knew exactly what it meant: "Holy shit, we are screwed, we have no money, and no future, but we are somehow still having the time of our lives." This seemingly contradictory state of existence later became the web series that it is today, which has resonated with fans and the internet much louder than we ever expected.
It all started with five twenty-somethings trying to figure out what to do with life. Now it's our reality, and though we no longer drink PBR at 3 in the afternoon (we wait until 4 now), I like to think we're right back to where we started. In short, no matter how our lives have changed, there will always be struggles to laugh at, and so in a sense, we will always be Funemployed. So thanks for visiting our site and watching our little web series. We hope you find some fun in it, and if you don't, you're probably way too old to be here and your kids will be ashamed of you when they find out.
Don't forget to check out ActionCouch one of the production companies behind Funemployed Season 1 & 2.

TED_Day 2
Inspiring second day. Freedom, privacy, transparency have been in the center of a couple of very good talks. Malte Spitz who went to court to obtain the information that his cell phone operator, Deutsche Telekom, gathered (and kept) about his activity and, after to get them, he shared this data mapping his movements, calls, sms… over those six month.
Gabriella Coleman uses ethnographic approaches to study online communities, hacker culture, and digital political activism. Very interesting her focus on the Anonymous movement.
Impressive reality the ones described and lived by Neil Harbisson who, born with the inability to see color, implant in his nape a prosthetic device that allows him to hear the spectrum, even those colors beyond the range of human sight.
