My friend is turning 30 in March and would like to visit an island on March 9-12, 2013.
Currently she has her heart set on Aruba, because according to Google it has a good night life. However, she really wants to do an all-inclusive and from what I've read, Aruba really isn't the place for that.
It will be 4 women travel in their late 30's.
The birthday girl wants a good nightlife as in party scene, swim-up bar and she wants to drink till her heart is content. She's not an adventurous eater, she really likes steaks and restaurants like STK or Texas De Brazil. She's too grown for the spring break crowd and wants more a grown/sexy nightlife scene.
She would rather not have to think about where she wants to go eat or drink, so I get why she wants to an all-inclusive. I'm just not down for paying $1500 to do so in Aruba.
Any suggestions on islands/locations that would fit her needs?
All Inclusive for 30th Bday in March?

You are going in March, which is Spring Break month. If you don't want to be around a bunch of partying college kids, you may want to consider a different time to travel.

I can understand what she is looking for as I love AI and nightlife. I agree Aruba really is not the place for AI. There are tons of really great restuarants and bars in all price ranges and part of the draw there is to try as many as you can. But, it can get expensive expecialy with drinks.
What we did is go cheap on the hotel with an AI option and still went out and ventured some of the local fare. We chose the Holiday Inn. We paid $450 total for the AI plan for 2 people for 7 nights. We added it on later after we booked and got a huge discount. It's about the best option to get the best of both worlds. However, check out the Radisson as sometimes thay have a drink/food credit per "X" amount of nights.
March is Spring Break time, but you will probably have more of an issue with families and tons of kids than college partiers in Aruba.
If you chose Aruba definatly do the Kukoo Kunukoo Bar hopping party bus. It was so fun.
I have the same problem as my birthday is in April. It's too expensive and too crowded to celebrate during that month. I have done Las Vegas a couple of times, a cruise, Cancun, MX, but I was the oldest person there (LOL), and next April we're going back to New Orleans. Good food, nightlife and fun. I definatly recommend New Orleans if you can give up the beach/ocean. We've been once before prior to Katrina and loved it.
We are going to Cabo, MX in December as they have a great nightlife and food options, but I would never go there in a March. You might look at the Royal Playa del Carmen in Mexico. It's an adult's only AI within a 5 minute walk to restaurants, bars, shopping and entertainment.
If there is anyway you can wait until the 2nd to 3rd week of May you will find lower prices and crowds. -

Thanks KVR. She's pretty stubborn but she also hasn't planned anything and it's getting late, so I might be able to convince her to wait till May. But I'm sure she actually wants to celebrate on her bday *shrugs*
New Orleans isn't option as we already go there often and it's better to do during the Jazz Fest.
Yeah I'm leaning towards Riviera Maya/Playa del Carmen if we must go in March. Thanks! -
Report Abuse
If you are leaning toward the Riviera Maya, I agree on the Royal Playa Del Carmen. It is a five minute walk to 5th Ave.and all the bars/clubs. However...the resort itself does not have much of a night life.
IN Aruba, the Occidental and the RIU are all inclusive. Don't know how the nightlige is right at the resorts though. -
Report Abuse
My only concern is if you don't go for an adult's only or sophisicated hotel you are going to be swamped with kids. Not something I want to deal with. We did that in Cancun for my 40th and I so regret the hotel I chose.
In Aruba look at the Manchebo beach resort and spa. It's an adults only AI.
"it's better to do during the Jazz Fest." No way. Too crowded for my taste. Plus the prices double. Comment has been removed by Fodor's moderators

So she's agreed to do Jamaica. Probably going to do Negril. What all-inclusives are good in that area?
Report Abuse
None, for a group of girls. Most are couples only and the rest is family oriented. There are 2 RUI's that I would not recommend to anyone. Horrible food and a Breezes that is adult's only that I wouldn't recommend either. Both are sub par low budget AI resorts IMHO.
I would suggest instead the adult's only Iberostar resort in Montego Bay. Though Montego Bay is not the most recommended area to stay, that hotel and the food will be much nicer than what you will find in Negril.
Here's a link to the AI resorts in the Caribbean. It's donates families, couples or adults:
Here's a link for AI resorts in Mexico:

Report Abuse
Oh this is so difficult. I'm actually not (too) worried about safety in Jamaica if we are visiting the coastal tourist spots. We're from Brooklyn and extremely familiar with Jamaican culture.
Thanks for the links KVR! Now to track to down what part of JA to visit. -
Report Abuse
I'm confused. Who said anything about safety concerns???
I've been to Negril and Ocho Rios. The problems with AI resorts in Jamaica is that they are either geared towards couples or families with a few Hedo resorts thrown in if you are into that.
For a group of girls you might consider the non AI hotels in Negril on either 7 Mile Beach or the Cliffs to get the type of atmosphere you are looking for, but they won't have swim-up bars or fancy type restaurants like an AI. There are more people on this forum that can give you info on those type of hotels than any of the AI resorts in that area.
You'll will probably find more of what you seek in a 30th birthday vacation in Mexico. If your not (too) concerned about safety issues and are from Brooklyn, then Mexico shouldn't be any issue for you. I've been to Mexico x 10 with our next trip in December and Jamaica x 2. I feel way more comfortable in Mexico than I ever did in Jamaica. It's just that what you described that you are looking for and the area that your are looking in does not make a match. -

i'll be partying it up in March in Cancun Mexico SB at an all inclusive RIU Resort (they all usually have swim up bars)
There are islands next to Cancun, which cater for all tastes - Isla Mujeres and Cozumel (easy short ferry ride to both)
HAPPY BDAY for then!

Ocho Rios, Montego Bay and Negril are the perfect all inclusive vacation sports for your ladies.
Some all inclusive resorts to look at include Sunset Resorts (ochi and mobay), RIU (all three), and Iberostar.
There are many affordable all inclusive resorts here in Jamaica with great nightly entertainment.
Negril is the place to be in March ( spring break month).
Here is a list of the most popular all inclusive resorts in Jamaica:

I'm not a hater, but i'm not quite feeling the vibe, its like minimal-step, its very unique though, i look forward to seeing what you will come up with in the future in the dubstep realm.
Not sure if I like this drop as much. But it still sounds fucking dope.
I like it cause it sounds original.

Page |1 CHEE319 Process Dynamics and Control Winter 2010 Tutorial #6 - Feedback Control Optimization Tuesday, March 30th, 2010 Work in groups of 3 or 4. Groups of 1, 2, or 5 will be docked 50%, 33% and 20% respectively. Solutions will be due in the next tutorial on Tuesday April 6th. In today's tutorial we will design and implement a controller for the following process: 1.66(8.0s 1) 13.28s 1.66 G( s) (8.25s 1) 2 68.06s 2 16.5s 1 The zero in the numerator causes an initial inverse response. First we'll simulate a step response; open a new workspace in Simulink and create the transfer function above. Connect a step input to it and send the output to a scope, as usual. Make the step time 10, the final value 0.25, and the sample time 0.1. Change the total simulation time to 200 minutes by going to "Simulation Simulation Parameters…" at the top of the screen, then run the program. The output should initially go up for a brief period, then start to go down and reach a negative steady-state. This initial inverse response acts in a way similar to dead time, and when fitting an empirical model to this type of process we just treat it as if it were. 1. Determine the first-order plus dead time model resulting from this step test (just ignore the inverse response) using the 28%, 63% method from tutorial 5. Using these parameters and the Ciancone correlations for tuning constants (step response), get values for the controller gain Kc, and the integral time TI. Remember to use the correlation for the PI Controller, not the PID Controller. Now that we have our controller parameters, we need to add this controller to our simulation. Add another transfer function block to your workspace with the values you obtained from question 1 substituted into the following function. We'll be using a PI controller, the transfer function for which is: 1 K cTI s K c T s Gc ( s) K c 1 I TI s A feedback controller loop has the following form: Page |2 D(s) Gd Final Controller Element Process SP(s) + Gc Gv Gp CV(s) + F(s) + - U(s) Gs M(s) Sensor We're going to neglect final element and sensor dynamics, and we don't have any disturbances in our process (yet), so our simplified feedback algorithm is: Controller Process SP(s) Gc Gp CV(s) +- And this is pretty much exactly how your model should look on the Simulink workspace when set up properly. The set point will be the same step input you used before, and the output (CV) is the scope. Set up your scope to plot both CV and SP, so you can get a better look at your controller's performance. It should look like this: 2. Run your new simulation. Include the response plot with the controller implemented in your assignment. Use a step of 1.0 at 10 minutes with 0.1 sample time. About how long does it take (from when the step is implemented) for your process to reach steady-state at the new set point? Add an integral absolute error (IAE) calculator to your Simulink model (diagram on net page). From the "Math Operations" library add an "Abs" to calculate the absolute value of your error. Add an "Integrator" from the "Continuous" library to sum the error, and display it on a "Display" from the "Sinks" library. Page |3 3. You are controlling the temperature of a reactor. The new set point value is the highest temperature at which the process is stable, but also the most profitable. i. Optimize your PI controller response to the same unit step change by manipulating the Kc value obtained from the Ciancone correlations. ii. Starting with your initial Ciancone correlation values, optimize your PI controller response by manipulating the TI value. Show the steps and thought process behind your optimization processes, recording Kc, TI, and IAE for each step. Remember, as a chemical engineer, it is your responsibility to meet the criteria outlined above as efficiently as possible. a) What criteria did Ciancone and Marlin use to produce the Ciancone correlations? b) Why are the values from this original optimization inadequate for your application? c) What criteria did you use to optimize your control scheme? d) What are your optimized controller gain, integral time, and IAE? e) Include plots of the original Ciancone control scheme and your two optimized control schemes. Which one would you institute and why? Lastly, we'll add a disturbance to our model and see how the controller handles it. With a disturbance, the feedback diagram looks like this: D(s) Gd Controller Process + SP(s) Gc Gp CV(s) + + - We'll use a step input as our disturbance, and a simple first-order disturbance transfer function: 1 Gd ( s) (5s 1) Page |4 so your Simulink workspace should now look like this: 4. a) Run a process disturbance simulation with your original controller tuning constants, a set point step change of zero (SP final value = 0), and a disturbance step change of 0.25, sample time 0.1, and step time of 100. Include the response in your assignment. b) Now reintroduce a set point change of size 1 at time 10 and keep your disturbance of size 0.25 at time 60. Can your controller handle both set point changes and disturbances adequately? Staying within your stable temperature range? c) If 25% disturbances were to be expected in your process, and you wanted to avoid exceeding stable reaction conditions, how might you change your set point?

After leaving Philadelphia we traveled to Washington DC for an overnight stay.

Okay, our taxi has arrived and I'm signing out.
Just a great trip to our nation's ...

Some were obvious, like the senate and assembly office buildings were attached underground to the capitol, but so was the Supreme Court, or the White House as well. One could never see the light of day and could conceivably walk from one side of DC to the other. I couldnt name all the buildings or monuments we passed but we tried to get them all in on Wednesday. So ...
Arlington, Whitehouse & Memorials
Today we got around in a few taxis to see some of the memorials. First stop, the Lincoln Memorial was most impressive but it's a shame that the Reflecting Pool was drained and closed for renovation. Next we caught a taxi across the Potomac to Virginia and the Arlington National Cemetery where we saw JFK's and his family's graves. After that ...

It's a 4 1/2-hour bus ride from Penn station, getting me there in time for dinner and a spontaneous trip to one of the area's bars, despite it being a Monday night - Eva mentioned her own late frustration in not having anyone to out out with.
The end result? Karaoke, of course! (...totally ...

Bloody-Disgusting writes: After the extremely disappointing Survival of the Dead, half of me wants the father of all things zombie to hang it up. But then again, we're talking about George A. Romero here, and with that there's always hope that maybe he'll give birth to something horrific and amazing once again. In talking with io9, he tells them his next project could be an adaptation of the novel "The Zombie Autopsies". I think Romero's best work comes when he actually has something to say, which is why this project is so intriguing.
"I would love to do something about the economy," Romero tells the site. "But zombies are not good mathematicians — I don't think they're going to be out selling cheesy mortgages or anything like that. So it's tough for me to see that. A friend of mine [Dr. Steven Schlozman] recently wrote a novel called "The Zombie Autopsies", and it's about an isolated group of people doing autopsies on zombies during the zombie apocalypse and trying to figure out what the hell caused this. They come upon this discovery."
He continues, "The scientists discover that this is not a naturally occurring virus; they deduce that it must have been created by somebody. And they later discover that it was created by people who were trying to topple the economy. So that's a unique way in to talk about the economy, but it's not my story."

Alright, so, after playing RE4 for the PC, in pure HD, I've got to say it's pretty nice. For those of you who played Resident Evil 4 on a console, I'm sure you may have noticed that your version got a select couple things. Some got the mine thrower and others got the PLR cannon, and some got the Mauser, and you get what I'm saying. Well, I've been playing through the game, about half-way done since I've got a bit of a busy schedule this week, and I've got to say that it's going swimmingly.…

Preordered it. Six hours before it's released to the masses. I know a lot of people might think "Wait, Resident Evil 4? That's already been released..." and you'd be right! Well, you'd be right if I meant regular Resident Evil. I've purchased Resident Evil 4 for the PC, which.. yes, has already been released as well, but it's the HD version on Steam, which comes with all the bonus content in the other games, the weapons, the dirty pictures!
Well, maybe not dirty pictures, but still!…

But I've made the time for this one because - at long last! - I've finally made another zombie video.

Why would this president care? When the piper shows up to collect he will be long gone and the constituency he has created, known as the takers, will be the voting majority. We already have insight into his thought processes - "bitter clingers of guns & bibles, doctors performing unneeded operations, gun policies to enhance profit, 25 pct of world consumption on 2 pct of population. What else do you need to know about this person? Do you really think he has the peoples back? Perhaps the dems - after all the GOP is his enemy, didn't he say that? I did notice he just voted himself lifetime protection and suspect he is going to need it as there are people out there for which "an eye for an eye" is a way of life.

Economists may not agree on much, but we all agree that economic output is a function of capital and labor. Ask a Keynesian, a Marxist, an Austrian, a monetarist, or any economist, and they'll all agree that living standards are determined by the quality and quantity of these two factors of production.
So it should be very worrisome that there has been a big drop in the share of the population that is employed. Here's a chart produced from Bureau of Labor Statistics data, showing labor force participation during the 21st Century.

REVIEW: What: Hamilton Operatic Society: Hairspray
When: From Friday, February 22
Where: Founders Theatre
Director: David Sidwell
Reviewer: Andrew Buchanan-Smart
Wow, if you go to only one show this year, this should be it. From the opening song and dance scene Good Morning, Baltimore to the finale You Can't Stop The Beat, the beat did not stop.
Hairspray, set in the early 60s, is cleverly crafted with a powerful message lying beneath the surface of song and dance.
The message is as meaningful today as it was then, with the wonderfully comic elements and one-liners taking the sting out of the politics.
Hairspray is slick and fast, full of vitality, and infectious with pulsating energy. A show like this only works with attention to detail which begins at the production stage, building the right creative team and casting correctly.
The set design, lighting, costumes - which were stunning - and especially the choreography, combined to make a stunning show.
Integral to this was superb casting with Roy Snow as Edna, Tracy's loving mother; Courtney Mayall as the positive Tracy; Mike Murphy-Scanlon as supportive Wilbur; Nick Wilkinson as cheesy Corny; Joel Benjamin-Hewlett as mover and shaker Seaweed; Lisa Wiles as feisty and vain Velma; Ruby Lyon as loyal Penny; Awhimai Huka as the visionary Motormouth; Cassidy Garrett as catty Amber; and Henry Ashby as the ever-faithful Link. They all captured the stereotypical details of these characters.
The singing was strong throughout, with the backing vocals and solos in perfect sync. The ensemble was always strong and the dance routines tight and full of energy.
These guys know how to move!
A fantastic show, light and bubbly, fast and powerful - a real quality product which is a must-see. Accolades all round for this great family entertainment.

What began in the fall of 2011 as the amorphous Occupy Wall Street movement in New York City morphed into Occupy America, a nationwide diorama drama containing many elements of a board game — positive steps, punishing losses of turn and, in some cities such as Hartford, Conn., occasional free parking.

If you can't trust your pharmacist, were all in a big heap of hurt! I would trust what they told you. You can also research it yourself on the "Drugs A to Z" on the top blue bar. Find the name and read the "professional" version. The worst that can happen is they don't work as expected. However, both versions are fast release.

The Premier League 100 Club : Paul Scholes

One of the greatest midfielders to ever grace the beautiful game, Sky Sports take a look back at the United legend.
"He's unbelievable – he's one of the greatest of all time

""He did not get completely what he deserves as a player because he's not a "media lion". He's not one who runs after the media to be in the papers. I respect that."

It's fair to say that Paul Scholes is one of the most admired footballers of his generation.

I love the look of mascara on the bottom lash but I usually skip it because every mascara I've used for the bottom always smudges. Even my mascara that I use for the top, Maybelline's Falsies in waterproof, which doesn't give me problems will still smudge a little if I use it on the bottom. Also, a regular brush does not get all the little tiny hairs. I've never used a tiny little brush on the bottom lash before. Then I bought this and wow! It really does get all the little hair's very easily. And I'm happy to say it didn't smudge on me all day! I also love that this comes in a smaller tube so you pay less than you would for a normal size of Clinique's mascara.
Tip: It can get a little bit goopy once in a while, usually if you try to apply more than one coat or it tends to goop up near the corner lashes. I just run my finger over the lashes while it's still wet to get it off and it's gone.

Great product. The tiny brush does a great job of getting all the little hairs and defining them. The price can't be beat and there was definite need in the market because I was so sick of using regular sized brushes to do this and have mascara everywhere.
I absolutely love this mascara. The $10 tag can't be beat, the tubing formula holds true and removes easily, and I personally love the tiny brush. It allows every single little lash (and mine are tiny) to be coated with glossy black mascara. It does make my lashes stiff and a little hard, but I find that almost all the tubing mascaras I have tried also do that. I was a diehard Blinc fan, but Clinique's is only ten bucks, and is much easier to acquire. So far I have had no problems with smudging, color and hold is great, and I love the brush. A must have staple on my vanity table.
The first time I used this I was so surprised at how many lashes I actually have! I've never used a mascara that managed to grab every single little lash, and the effect is almost startling. Nothing overdone, just tons of soft, tiny lashes.
I love volumizing mascaras and a very dramatic, false eyelash effect. But it's too much for my bottom lashes, especially since they're already long. I inevitably end up with mascara on my lower lid, whether it's from the applicator itself or the formula smudging throughout the day. Often I only end up sort of "tapping" mascara onto my lower lashes so they don't look ridiculous.
This minuscule applicator is easy to wield and gets every last lash. It's a rich black pigment so my lashes look noticeable without making too much of a statement. And because it's a tubing formula it dries quickly and doesn't budge or transfer at all. It only requires one coat and offers great separation and a natural appearance. Usually I'm not a fan of tubing mascaras because they're never as easy to remove as they promise. But this washes off easily with my usual cleanser. It dissolves into that strange gummy texture that seems common to a lot of tubing mascaras. Always weird but at least it's coming off without any aggravation.
I had no idea I'd end up even wanting to use an additional mascara every day but the results are too good to pass up. Definitely a must have product and I'd repurchase this again.
I love this mascara! It really brings out my bottom lashes and the tiny applicator is PERFECT for getting the corner lashes without getting mascara all over the place or too much on the other lashes. It's great for precision application. The formula itself is really good. Not too thick and coats each lash nicely. I will absolutely buy this again!
I have such tiny lashes I hardly ever put mascara on because there is no point once I have dark eyeliner on. However if I use light shadows in the daytime I can see the difference when i put mascara on.
Even though I saw the pictures of the tiny brush I had to laugh out loud when i saw it in real life, I thought I looked ridiculous holding that tiny brush
The formula is simply alright, it lasts all day and night without smudging which is a big plus since I always would buy waterproof because of my watery eyes. However this does mean the lashes are a bit crunchy, but they do not become brittle and fallout like I've noticed with other brands. Removal is somewhat of a pain because it can break apart and speckle the skin around it and still not be off.
This was my first clinque product and will repurchase simply for the brush size. If any other brand made it I would try that one too
P.S. I never use it on my bottom lashes, I have asian eyes and I hate the way it looks on me! Go figure.

I LOVE this mascara! I read all the hype out there and was anxious to try it because I've always been frustrated with applying mascara to my lower lashes. I either can't avoid bumping the brush into my skin or have trouble with the mascara leaving flakes or slightly dark marks under my eyes as I blink throughout the day. This mascara does neither! It has a small wand that is very effective in quickly coating your lashes (although as another reviewer said, this mascara is very wet so be forewarned!). Also, because the wand is so small, you can get it into the outer corner to create long lashes not only on the bottom but also on the top lashes. Absolutely no flaking or marks as the day goes on, either. Love, love, LOVE it!

I have been using Clinique's Lash Power mascara on my bottom lashes since it was launched several years ago because it is a tubing mascara that DOES NOT smudge ever and the brush is quite small and skinny so when I saw this I had to try it. Lash Power is holy grail for my very, very long bottom lashes. I believe this is the same formulas as it comes off with warm water and wears like iron without smudging. I would not buy it again because it takes more than twice the time to coat my (very long) lashes. The Lash Power brush is much more efficient and yet allows me to tease out every single little hair in the corners. I suspect that for people with sparse or short lower lashes this would work beautifully. I would not buy this again but I certainly am a going to use LP as my lower lash mascara as long as they make it.
This product looks faintly ridiculous - like a dolls mascara. But the price is lower to match, which is a big plus.
I have invisible lashes, and only bought it because it wasn't expensive. I was sceptical. But it gives you twiggy lashes! I had absolutely no idea that I even had such long lashes on the bottom.
But of course any mascara can coat your bottom lashes. But this stuff is a tubing mascara and does.not.budge.
The only con is that it's v. wet, and may get onto your skin whilst you're applying. But since it stays wet, you can wipe it off without any residue.

San Francisco (78-61) at Arizona (56-83)
Temp: 74° F
- Game info: 9:40 pm EDT Wed Sep 8, 2010
The San Francisco Giants have had little trouble winning lately. The same can't be said for Barry Zito(notes).
Looking for his first win in almost two months, the left-hander tries to help the Giants to a fifth consecutive victory overall and a series sweep of the Diamondbacks in Arizona on Wednesday night.
Tim Lincecum(notes) struck out 11 and San Francisco hit three homers en route to a 6-3 win over Arizona on Tuesday. Winners in six of their last seven, the Giants (78-61) remained one game behind first-place San Diego in the NL West. They also moved within one game of wild-card leader Atlanta.
San Francisco is 10-4 in the season series with Arizona, including six straight wins at Chase Field.
The Giants haven't lost since Zito (8-11, 4.18 ERA) allowed four runs, four hits and four walks in four innings of a 4-2 loss at Los Angeles on Friday.
Zito has not gone past the fourth inning in any of his last four starts and is 0-7 with a 5.79 ERA in 10 outings since beating the New York Mets on July 16, but manager Bruce Bochy saw promise in his latest effort.
"He really, I thought, had a better outing, even though it didn't show," Bochy told the Giants' official website. "He should feel better about it."
Zito did not feel good about his last start versus Arizona. He gave up a season-high nine runs and five walks in 3 2-3 innings of an 11-3 home loss Aug. 28, falling to 3-7 with a 5.33 ERA in 13 career starts against the Diamondbacks.
Arizona's scheduled starter Daniel Hudson(notes) (5-2, 3.03) outpitched Zito in that contest by allowing two runs and striking out six in seven innings to win his first appearance against the Giants.
Hudson is 1-0 with a 1.80 ERA and 21 strikeouts over his last three starts. The right-hander gave up two runs and struck out six in six innings of a 4-3 win over Houston on Friday.
"He's got a little deception in his delivery obviously with his arm; he whips the ball around," Astros first baseman Brett Wallace(notes) told the Diamondbacks' official website. "He moves his heater around, and he's got good action on it."
Aubrey Huff(notes), 0 for 3 with three walks against Hudson, hit a two-run homer Tuesday for the Giants. Huff is batting .448 with three home runs and 10 RBIs in seven games at Arizona in 2010.
San Francisco rookie Buster Posey(notes) is 17 for 33 against the Diamondbacks this season after going 2 for 4 on Tuesday.
Chris Young hit a two-run homer for Arizona (56-83), which has lost four in a row after winning four straight to open a nine-game homestand. Despite the home run, Young is 10 for 49 with 17 strikeouts against the Giants this season.
It's uncertain if Mark Reynolds(notes) will be back in the Diamondbacks' lineup after he missed Tuesday's game with a bruised right hand. The slugging third baseman has a team-leading 32 homers but is 0 for 12 in his last four games, and 6 for 41 versus San Francisco in 2010.
Team Comparison
Team | Record | Standings | Away/Home | Streak | L10 |
San Francisco | 92-70 | 1st West | Away 43-38 | Won 1 | 7-3 |
Arizona | 65-97 | 5th West | Home 40-41 | Lost 2 | 4-6 |

Today is International Women's Day, a holiday that has been celebrated since the early 1900′s when women began demanding fair pay and better working conditions. While it's true women still are at an uneven par with men in the workplace the situation in Western nations is much better than that in the developing world. It's easy to look through a cultural lens and judge other nations short comings, when we have so many of our own and so I hope that this post doesn't reinforce that stereotypical view. I want to share today about some of the issues that I, and other women living in Morocco have to face.
I have to first make it clear, my situation is different than many Moroccan women. I have an advanced degree, economic options, and am largely excluded from following cultural norms and behaviors. However, I live in a residential area of Marrakech, dress, work, shop, and largely behave as any other woman living here. I have a lot of advantages in my corner, that are a result of where I happened to have been born. Everyday I see and meet women who were not.
Did You Know:
Some of these problems are not as prevalent here. Morocco largely has good quality healthcare, though rural areas still struggle. Primary education is compulsory for boys and girls. But, there are big issues relating to physical and sexual abuse.
Recently I saw this short documentary/film that was a part of the Marrakech Biennele;
The film is about how the victims of rape and sexual abuse feel. Roughly translated it says;
She'll live with it her whole life, hating herself. She can't tell her parents. Her life stops when no one comes to help her. Society looks down at her, like she did something horrible. Society says that if the girl gets raped no one wants to marry her, or wants anything to do with her. Why? The man is innocent until they prove he is guilty. The girl she's immediately guilty until she can prove that she's innocent. What kills society is the shame and guilt in the society that feels the guilt and shame. I went to court and I was thinking they would help me get my dignity back. No one helps these victims.
This is a real problem. Sexual abuse and harassment happens daily. People might blame the behavior of a girl, what she's wearing, how she's walking – anything. It doesn't matter. I've been the recipient of comments when I'm dressed in a full length djallaba and headscarf. I can only imagine what it's like for others, for Moroccan girls who are going about their daily lives and deal with this behavior. On an administrative level, there is work being done to make changes. There, not so long ago, was a loophole in a law that would allow a rapist to marry his victim and thus escape punishment (for him). This loophole has now been closed. However just this week a woman who killed her (repeated) rapist was sent to prison for ten years for his murder after authorities would not help her.
But, this isn't to say everything is terrible. I smile when I think of the old man who works as a car park guardian outside my school. He always greets me with a smile wishing me "trek slama binti" (have a safe trip my daughter). Or the men who don't think twice about stepping in if they see a woman being harassed. Things are changing, slowly.
There are also organizations helping to raise money, awareness, and offer programs to women and girls. Gloabal Impact is one example. They partner with charities to address not only the effects of gender inequality but also the root causes. Here in Morocco programs like the Amal Center (one of my favorite causes) and others work to train disadvantaged women in career paths that will help them earn a living and support their families. Women's cooperatives like this rug weaving co-op in the Dades Valley give women a safe place to work and earn a living.
To find out more about Global Impact you can connect with them on Twitter , Facebook, YouTube, and on the International Women's Day Page.

]]>I didn't have high hopes for Finnish food. Frankly, what I remembered about it growing up was that there was fish, and fish, and potatoes, and dill. That's about it. I don't like dill, I'm 50/50 on fish, and potatoes well I guess you can't really go wrong there. When it was time to sign up for tours on our Finland trip I wavered on whether I should stick to only food events. My logical thinking was if we're eating, we're inside, and that means it won't be as cold. Really. Did I mention MarocBaba is pretty picky? So this was going to go one of two ways. We were either going to be stuffed to the gills and happy as clams, or we were going to really hungry and crabby. Lucky for us, the first option came true.
For a full week we ate meal after delicious meal of Finnish inspired food. I had lots of comments on social media that this was "special" food and that real Finnish meals are not as amazing as what we were being given. I get that. A real, everyday meal in Morocco isn't as amazing as the special meal you'd get in a restaurant either – that's the nature of the beast! What I can say is that the Finnish restaurant scene is alive and well. The food is clean and delicious and I for one am a fan.
Almost every chef we spoke with told us a similar story. The Finnish food scene 10-15 years ago was nothing to brag about. People were eating basic foods that met a basic need to sustain them. I was surprised to learn that a lot of Finns have gluten allergies and sensitivities as well as lactose intolerance. Really, if you have either of these you'll be very happy in Finland. With an increasing number of people having special dietary needs, as people simply being more aware of what they're eating (I'm sure the rise of the popularity of Nordic food didn't hurt) a trend towards better tasting and healthier food is being established. Traditional foods are being remade. In 2011 Helsinki began a concept known as Restaurant Day, where anyone can open a pop-up shop for a single day. The event happens 4 times a year and has encouraged young wanna-be chefs to see what the response is to their creations. The event is insanely popular. The use of local and organic produce as much as possible is popular – so much so that the Helsinki airport even has a grocery store that features fresh, whole foods!
Getting to Finland from Morocco is no small feat, and it required an overnight stay in England on the way, as well as spending a good portion of the next morning camped out first in the airport and then at the Finnair Business Lounge (thanks Finnair we appreciated it!) Once we kicked off our tour we were treated to lunch at the Finnair Pilot Training Center where we also got to fly a flight simulator. Did you know that one of my career "dreams" was to be a pilot? It's true! I liked seeing what meal time was like at a workplace, and this was certainly different compared to what would be found in the US. Our day was full of activities, you can read more about these in my post about Scandanavian design, then headed to the small town of Porvoo where dinner was waiting for us at Bed and Breakfast Ida-Marie – our home for the next few days. Along with us was Adeline from France, Janicke from Norway, and Andre from Brazil.
Maggie and Georg welcomed us warmly with a home cooked, top quality meal set out on the table. It was amazing. So amazing that I think MarocBaba and Andre might have snuck back downstairs after it all was cleaned up to rummage for leftovers in the fridge. The food was such a fusion of ingredients that are local to the region but reinvented. No one was hungry afterwards but we sat around the table chatting, sipping tea, and taste testing some of the local soda that was left behind before heading to bed. Morning came too early but we were again treated to a huge breakfast that included Kerelian pasty's – perhaps Finlands' most famous contribution to the culinary scene. A full day in Porvoo was ahead of us.
We walked through old town Porvoo and then finished the walk with a stop at Bistro Sinne situated in an old art factory that has been remade into work and restaurant spaces. By the time we arrived, my feet were frozen, quite literally. Temperatures were so cold and I was ready to warm up. It took the entire meal for my feet to return to normal temperatures! This restaurant is ranked one of the top in Finland and the food was great. Dessert was my favorite course – and I don't even like carrot cake! We also found out that the restaurant has Crazy Tuesday's where you can let the staff choose your meal and then you decide how much you would pay for it. Love the concept!
My very favorite meal was the dinner we were treated to at the home of mother and daughter, Mervi and Johanna. Our hosts from the Porvoo Tourism Office told us they had put a post up on their Facebook page looking for someone who might be willing to host us. Mervi responded in under 1 minute! Her previous career at Finnair and love of travel made her want to play host for us. What a treat it was! Not only was the food great, the conversation lovely, and her home impeccable, we made a new friend. When people ask me where the best restaurants in Marrakech are my answer is almost always "in someone's home." Unless you're welcomed into a locals home you really only have a partial feel for the culture and food. I promised Mervi that should she ever make it to Morocco, she's got a place in our home!
Lunch the following day treated us to Georg's food again. Zum Beispiel operates in old town Porvoo as a take away deli and restaurant. The food rotates daily and focuses on organic, local produce. Georg is East German but has traveled all over the world and it shows in the food he creates. It's really a neighborhood restaurant and it was easy to see why. The mayor of Porvoo was having lunch alongside mom's and their kids who stopped in for a bite. My favorite part? All you can eat bread and butter – including gluten-free!
Our time in Porvoo had to come to an end and we were on our way back to Helsinki. We spent two nights and three days in the city attending the MATKA travel fair and, on our last day, enjoying a food tour of Helsinki. Elisabeth of Visit Helsinki was our hostess. We hit the streets and first stopped at the Hietalahti Market Hall. I loved the art deco design of this building (in fact a lot of Helsinki has retained their art deco buildings- LOVE!). The market is covered and operates year round, selling seafood, meats, produce, and baked goods. I enjoyed the smoked salmon but it was a little too early for me and seafood.
The Glass Palace. This restaurant is quite famous in Helsinki. It's housed along with office buildings, shops, and other restaurants in a building known as the glass palace due to its design. It dates from the 1930′s and was left abandoned with plans to be torn down but it never happened because Helsinki residents opposed its destruction. In 1998 it was finally restored and renovated. Restaurant Lasipalatsi has a rotating menu that changes with the seasons. We were incredibly lucky that January is blini season. Oh. My.
Hands down this was my favorite meal. It's one of the only times post weight loss surgery I've wished I had more stomach space to eat more. This food is a nod to the Eastern Slavic and Russian influences in Finland. Finnish blini's are gluten free – they're made with buckwheat but they have a ridiculous amount of butter. I'm not even going to tell you how much butter because if you ever have the chance to eat these, I don't want you to be scared away! Let's just say Paula Deen would be proud. Not everyone gets 10 toppings to choose from (you can go for a smaller number) but I loved trying all of the toppings. No favorite here, but I skipped the onions. I think these are best enjoyed hot the moment after they're cooked.
With two stops left I wasn't sure how I would hold up. A quick visit to the market Anton and Anton was followed by a final meal at Restaurant Ask. It was small and unassuming. We were told ahead of time the chef aims for minimal waste, purchasing just what he needs and keeping portions in check. As you can see they were. It was the perfect serving size for me, but MarocBaba was left scratching his head and wondering "that's called a meal?" Everything we ate was delicious but my favorite was the lamb that was moist, tender and delicious. We also had coffee with our dessert and I can say it's the only time in my life I've ever drank a cup of coffee black. It was so good! My only regret is that we had to keep our eyes trained on our watches in order not to miss our flight home.
So can you eat well in Finland? I'd give a resounding yes!

Mint chocolate chip ice cream. Thin Mints. Grasshoppers. If it has mint and chocolate I'm in.
When I started making these muffins (and the strawberry hazelnut muffins from a little while ago), I got to thinking, what makes a muffin different from a cupcake? Should these have really been cupcakes? Are they just cupcakes disguised as muffins? I did an informal poll of my mom and sister and then consulted the Google oracle to see what answers I could come up with.
So what makes a muffin a muffin and a cupcake a cupcake? Eugenie's Kitchen has a great post comparing the two. So I consulted the charts she drew up and decided that I'm still calling these muffins. If you decide to put frosting on them and call them cupcakes, I won't tell anyone.
Let's just pretend they're healthy together, ok?
