There are reports floating around right now that the reason why AJ Lee was not chosen to be a cast member on Total Divas is because she is married to CM Punk. However, she has repeatedly stated in the past that she was not interested in doing a reality television show. She enjoys her privacy and prefers to focus on being a wrestler. Management recently added Alicia Fox and Paige to the series.
October 21, 2014
The expanding cast of Total Divas will include Alicia Fox next season. WWE has decided to include as many of their female performers as possible on the show, and Alicia was quite willing to sign up for the reality television show. For a lot of the girls, the hope is that the extra exposure will help them build up their name value for when they eventually leave the company and pursue other things.
October 20, 2014
The movie roles keep coming in for the Rock. The former WWE star revealed through social media that he will be starring in the big screen version of Baywatch.

October 3, 2014
Some very interesting news coming out of a wrestling convention in Charlotte last month. Jim Duggan revealed to fans in attendance that he and Roddy Piper were working on getting a reality television show for themselves. Quite a lofty goal for the WWE legends, as there probably is not a whole lot of network executives who are interested in such a show.
September 29, 2014
While the future of Impact Wrestling is in question because a deal with Spike TV cannot be reached, TNA is still continuing to churn forward. The company is filming a new television show called TNA Legends, and it is being hosted by Jeremy Borash, who is seemingly the most versatile person backstage. No word yet on where this show will be airing, but it will be on television somewhere.
September 14, 2014
On Monday Night Raw, many witnessed a brilliant publicity stunt that WWE launched when they invited Michael Sam, an openly gay football player who is trying to find an NFL team this season, to make an appearance on their television show next week. Stephanie McMahon has made another move to secure that deal by writing an open letter to the defensive end, calling him a hero.
September 2, 2014
There is a growing sense of optimism towards Jeff Jarrett and Global Force Wrestling. Some feel that he might have found a formula that can draw in a good amount of viewers.

August 11, 2014
It looks like WWE will be utilizing the relationship between Cameron and her boyfriend a bit more during the next season of Total Divas. The belief is that something drastic will happen, where the couple will either break up or do a wedding. The heel turn and split from Naomi Knight was designed to put more attention into her character on the reality television show next season.
July 28, 2014
The big brawl between Naomi Knight and Cameron that you witnessed on Monday Night Raw this week was indeed the big breakup that has been teased over the last couple of weeks by WWE. As many already know, this story was set up for the sake of Total Divas, as producers wanted more dramatic stories for the reality television show. Since it is involved with another network, the belief is that WWE will get behind the story and put some emphasis on it.
July 9, 2014
A couple of days ago, it was revealed that Dixie Carter and company would do a big announcement in London.

July 3, 2014
Despite creating a buzz online with fans, Cody Rhodes had his Stardust character omitted by WWE during the company's broadcast of Monday Night Raw on Hulu. Every week, management decides which segments are important enough to include on that version of their television show. Rumors have it that WWE does not deem Rhodes and Goldust as a high priority at the moment.
June 17, 2014
During a recent interview, Vince Russo revealed that he does not watch Monday Night Raw. The former WWE writer stated that it was not because of any backstage heat that he has towards the company. Russo simply stated that it is difficult for him to sit through three hours straight of a television show. He even stated that it was difficult for him to watch his favorite baseball team for three straight hours.
June 3, 2014
Despite doing a good job of generating interest from fans the last time around, Tough Enough was put on the shelves. Now, it appears that the reality television show is being brought back as part of the WWE Network. No word yet on the involvement of Steve Austin, but since he did such a great job last time, management should be quite interested in bringing him back again as the host.
May 1, 2014
In a sign that he still holds some value to the network, Eric Young has been given another television show. This time, it is called No Limits, and it is supposed to be a continuation of his Off the Hook: Extreme Catches show.

April 28, 2014
While he did make a brief appearance during Wrestlemania 30 week, Shawn Michaels is expected to be gone from WWE for the time being.

April 24, 2014

Together, they are currently shopping a wrestling show around to the networks and hope to land a television spot soon.
April 15, 2014
The big story line coming out of Total Divas this week is John Cena purchasing a house for Nikki Bella. The couple was the centerpiece of the reality television show earlier when Cena refused to marry Nikki, prompting wrestling fans to wonder if they were going to break up. Since Brie Bella got married to Daniel Bryan, Cena has to figure out ways to keep Nikki happy.
April 13, 2014
A picture of WWE stars on the set of the Soup, a popular television show that makes fun of current events. Titus ONeil, JBL, Michael Cole, Jerry Lawler, Dolph Ziggler, Nikki Bella and Brie Bella were recently guests on an episode.
April 12, 2014
A video segment from Total Divas, where Nikki Bella losers her tooth during a match against Tamina Snuka. The situation was a complete accident, but WWE opted to take advantage of the situation and add a little bit of dramatic flair to their reality television show.
March 24, 2014
Now that the WWE Network has been launched, management has been looking into ideas for some new content for the service. One of the ideas being discussed is doing a reality television show based around Steve Blackman, who is now a bounty hunter in Pennsylvania. The series would follow the former WWE star and his team as they hunt down people.
March 22, 2014
When Antonio Cesaro left him for Paul Heyman recently, Zeb Colter took to Twitter to ask fans who they thought should replace him and team with Jack Swagger in the Real Americans stable.

July 1, 2014
As many of you already know by now, several WWE stars were on the receiving end of a release today, as the company is trying to cut cost a bit.

Hawkins posted this response to Henry.
June 12, 2014
A status update on Twitter from Mick Foley, where he stated that TNA wished him a happy birthday while WWE has yet do so.

The former senator used his Facebook page to tell supporters the timing isn't right for a run for governor.
A new Rasmussen poll also finds that another former Senator, Mark Dayton, now leads the Democratic field.
When the time comes to concede defeat in the land of 10,000 recalls, will you be ready?
Governor T-Paw backs off constitutional threat
Former Sen. Norm Coleman was been diagnosed with Bell's palsy, a condition that led to temporary paralysis on the left side of his face.
The Federal Elections Commission said they had cleared a complaint against Coleman's campaign alleging campaign funds were misused to defend himself against allegations in a lawsuit.
If he planned on avoiding that whole "losing" a recount to a comedian thing, he's out of luck.
Nasser Kazeminy was accused of trying to funnel $75,000 to Coleman's family through his wife's business.
Attorneys for the man making the allegations against Coleman's donor say the company's investigation was bogus.
The Texas company involved in a lawsuit centered around one of Norm Coleman's friends and donors cleared Coleman of any wrongdoing in the case.
Lawyers will present their case in front of a Texas judge today in hopes of having the lawsuit against Norm Coleman donor Nasser Kazeminy dismissed.

The Federal Elections Commission came back to Norm Coleman with two drafted opinions based on his inquiry about paying legal bills with campaign funds.
Politics in Minnesota caught some national attention yesterday when they reported that the Minnesota Supreme Court would rule on Norm Coleman's recount appeal Thursday. Too bad their sources were wrong.
The court ruled that Coleman owes Franken $95,000 in court costs. Minnesota law says the loser pays the winner's costs in an election contest, so it's all on Coleman's shoulders.
Another win for Republicans everywhere who just try so very hard to be hip with this thing we've long been calling the internet.
Including all of the money spent during election season, Coleman and Al Franken have spent a combined $50 million on the race for Minnesota's U.S. Senate seat. And you wonder why these guys keep fighting.
After each candidate's legal team took the stand for some grilling from the justices, it appears that Coleman got the short end of the stick.
Take a couple deep breaths of fresh air this weekend and enjoy the outdoors before our lives get painful again.
Franken, my dear, they give a damn
The latest Rasmussen Reports poll has a lot of interesting results highlighting how Minnesotans feel about the ongoing fight for the state's open U.S. Senate seat.
Yesterday the former senator who refuses to leave got hoodwinked into appearing on a YouTube clip.
Minnesotans are pissed: They don't want Pawlenty to run for a third term and they do not approve of the state Legislature.
In response to Franken's claim that differing decisions by counties on absentee ballots didn't change the final outcome, Coleman said there were "widespread, deliberate disparities" between counties that did affect the final outcome of the race.
Independence Party candidate Dean Barkley will throw out the first pitch of the game. Barkley came in third against Coleman and Franken on Election Day.
Coleman is asking the FEC if he can use his campaign funds for a defense against allegations in a lawsuit involving a buddy and campaign donor, Nasser Kazeminy.
The three notable Minnesota Republicans are officially part of the "RNC Clown College".
Republicans have now made it clear they will do whatever it takes to support Norm Coleman's continued fight until he has exhausted all of his options.
Norm Coleman's legal team officially filed their appeal brief with the Minnesota Supreme Court Thursday in their continued fight for the U.S. Senate seat.
Despite the increasing spotlight on the Minnesota U.S. Senate race, Republican Gov. Tim Pawlenty insists Pennsylvania Sen. Arlen Specter's decision to turn Democrat won't change anything in Norm Coleman's appeal case.
Just 28 percent of those polled called his appeal to the state Supreme Court "appropriate".
When Coleman asked the court to slow it down and take some time, it seems like they listened.
Norm Coleman's legal team will officially file their appeal to the Minnesota Supreme Court this afternoon.
Unfortunately Norm Coleman is on the losing side of an extremely long and dirty fight for a U.S. Senate seat. So instead of looking forward, Coleman continues to look back and find people to blame for the embarrassing spot he finds himself in.
When interviewed about the egg attack, Coleman described his reaction as a "George Bush move". Bush gets shoes hurled at him, Coleman gets eggs.

FORT WORTH — The operative word for North Texas today, and for the next few days, is flannel.North winds arrived during the noon hour Sunday and cold temperatures are right behind it."Temperatures will keep dropping during the day," said meteorologist Matt Bishop at the National Weather Service office in Fort Worth. "During that noon hour, we saw a drop of 10 degrees."As of 2 p.m. Sunday, it was 57 degrees at Dallas//Fort Worth Airport, the official reporting site for DFW. At the same time, it was 38 degrees in Amarillo and 29 in Dalhart near Amarillo. The high today at DFW Airport reached 67 degrees, at 11 a.m.If snow flurries don't materialize early Monday, the 29-degree temperatures North Texans will awake to Monday morning will likely remind them what month it is. North winds will make it feel like 17 degrees early Monday. Time to take care of your plants, pets and pipes, if you haven't done so already.It's expected to be in the low-20s on Tuesday morning.After skies clear throughout the day Monday, temperatures will begin to drop, reaching 26 degrees by the next morning.Elsewhere in the state, light snow with accumulations of up to an inch is possible for Parmer, Castro and Bailey counties along the Texas-New Mexico border west of Lubbock, the weather service said.Temperatures across the South Plains were expected to reach only the 40s Sunday, with highs even lower for Monday and low temperatures dropping to the teens.For the Guadalupe Mountains area, forecasters in Midland-Odessa issued a high wind watch for Sunday with 30 to 45 mph winds gusting to near 65 mph.And for much of West Texas, from the Big Bend all the way north, forecasters advised residents to protect sensitive plants, pets and pipes.Only the Rio Grande Valley in far South Texas, where temperatures were in the 80s on Saturday, was likely to escape the brunt of the arctic blast.This report includes material from The Associated Press.Domingo Ramirez Jr., 817-390-7763Twitter: @mingoramirezjr

FAO and Bioversity International have developed two nutrition indicators for biodiversity useful to measure biodiversity-related food composition and food consumption of underutilized species (www.fao.org/infoods/biodiversity/index_en.stm).
More information can be found in the document "Specific definition of underutilized species for human consumption"
While reporting upon these indicators, difficulties were encountered in defining underutilized foods. Therefore, FAO and Crops for the Future have developed specific criteria in order to establish the reference list for underutilized foods counting for the nutritional indicators for biodiversity:
Of the following criteria, the first one is compulsory, and several of the others should be met for a species to be included in this list:
- The food was/is/could be used for human consumption.
- May have great potential for contributing to food security and nutrition.
- Mainly local and traditional crops/animals (including insects, amphibians and reptiles) whose distribution, biology, cultivation and uses are poorly documented.
- Receive little attention from research, farmers, policy and decision makers, technology providers and consumers.
- Have weak or no formal seed/animal germplasm supply systems.
- Farmed, reared, gathered or caught in small scale.
- The species must be grown/raised in the country/region where it is underutilized.
Species that are imported do not count as underutilized in that region.
Furthermore, information on country/region of origin should be given.
These criteria, only intended to be used to report on the two nutrition indicators for biodiversity, should not replace the broad criteria that has been defined for categorizing underutilized species as such (www.underutilized-species.org/spotlight/what_are_underutilized_species.asp).
The integration of these specific criteria and the reference list of underutilized foods counting for food biodiversity will be uploaded on the websites of the Global Facilitation Unit for Underutilized Species at www.underutilized-species.org/species/about_species.asp and of the INFOODS at www.fao.org/infoods/biodiversity/index_en.stm.
We look forward and thank you!

They make mozzarella three times a day at Piccolo Gourmet, an Italian deli in New Hyde Park, and after tasting it for the first time, I could see why they have to keep replenishing it. This is worlds away from the cello-wrapped mozzarella available in most stores. It is delicate and creamy and when you marinate it in a bit of olive oil, garlic and parsley makes you feel like you're walking through St. Marks Square in Venice.
This level of quality and attention to freshness is a hallmark of Piccolo Gourmet. "We don't cut corners," says owner Sal Restivo, who opened the place in 1999.
Owner/chef Luigi Muto gets a jump on his long day, hours before his Great Neck eatery, La Rotonda Pizza & Restaurant, opens for lunch at noon. On most summer and fall mornings, you'll find Muto at a local farm, like Rottkamp's Farm in Old Brookville, picking the freshest of produce to use in any number of recipes that day for lunch and dinner.
"At the restaurant, we have a very small kitchen, we have no basement, and we don't stock anything," says Muto proudly. "At Rottkamp's, their tomatoes are very nice and I find their spinach interesting, as well as other produce. I look every day."
Dare I risk writing about pizza? Will I annoy you because I included a place not on your list of favorites? Will you hate me because I left off your favorite?
So let me state that this article is about five pizza places. This is not about the BEST pizza on Long Island because we all have our ideas about where to find the very best pizza. And Long Island has some of the best pizza in the country. Just five places chosen arbitrarily.
Various top local restaurants have embraced the farm-to-table concept, elevating their dishes to even greater heights as they support Long Island and New York State growers, wineries and fishermen. Here are two of the best:
Market Bistro
There's a garden behind Market Bistro in Jericho where chef Charles Treadwell grows basil, parsley and other herbs and vegetables to use in his contemporary American dishes.
Can't make up your mind if you want your pasta Italian style with red sauce and meatballs, or Asian style, perhaps with coconut, shitake mushrooms or peanuts? If you decide to eat at Noodles & Company, you don't have to choose until you're at the counter placing your order.
Noodles & Company opened this month in the Gallery at Westbury Plaza off Old Country Road, the first of 24 locations planned for Nassau and Suffolk County for this nationwide chain with 364 locations in 29 states.

As you may know, Kickstarter is a digital panhandling site that allows people to beg for money to fund their art projects. It's very popular with artsy white fggts who are looking for money to start their artisanal saltwater taffy stand or "hella bitter seltzer cart," but who would have thought we'd see MILLIONAIRES on there?? Yet here they are, trying to raise $10,000 to record their debut LP:
Hiiiii! We're Melissa Marie & Allison Green (yes, we're sisters!) & we are the "DirtyPop/Electro" duo known as MILLIONAIRES. Ever since we started the band back in '07, we have done EVERYTHING ourselves. Our fans have been patiently waiting years for us to put together a full length album, & we don't want them to wait any longer! The only problem is (especially with no label/management support & everything we do is "DIY" & out-of-pocket) paying for producers, recording time, & making physical cd copies for distribution is obviously severely costly. We're not "millionaires" yet ;)
My thoughts:
- MILLIONAIRES Y U NO HAVE MONEY 2 RECORD?! But real talk, if they don't have a label or management, you have to figure it's because they are impossible to work with [via hot, dumb girls from Orange County]
- I love that they bill themselves as a DIY band, mostly because it will make a few people raeg who still take "DIY" seriously
- Allison looks way more smashable than Melissa. When did this happen?! Melissa, U JELLY????
Also, the prizes are kind of amazing:
I've gotten several replies from Melissa, and all I do is discuss whether she is smashable or not. Don't pay for that shit, just make fun of her and she will reply for free.
Seriously considering paying for this one, only because a) I make that in about 35 minutes and b) I can only imagine the sinking "Oh fuck, THIS guy…" feeling in their stomachs when they get on Skype with me (would probably wear a trollface mask, just to be safe).
Melissa in army pants and flip flops?? Groce :( Miniskirt and tube top, please.
Seriously can't believe someone bought this AND that they are only offering one! I'll knit scarves all day for $190 a pop.
Please god, tell me some 45 year-old creep with yellow fever bought this. And not sure which is more funny/embarrassing: how desperate for attention the person is how bought this, or how desperate for cash the girls are for selling it…
Keyword = "maybe". Text from Melissa after recording your "feature": "Um yeah we r still trying to figure out what songs r gonna be on the album ill let u know!! xoxo"
"Hay Melissa this is Sergeant D let's go to Claim Jumper in Laguna Niguel" = $375 well spent
The punchline?? THEY GOT THE MONEY.

- Ahi tuna was served frozenyogarnDined on 11/15/2014I ordered the coriander ahi tuna medium rare, it was served rare, and frozen inside! I sent it back, but my husband waited to eat his burger til the waitress brought back my new dish. By then, his burger was cold. We sat in a section where people waiting to be seated were right next to us. I felt we were on display eating our meal. We had reservations and still waited 20 minutes to be seated. We arrived early too.I would recommend this to a friend.
- EXCELLENT!OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 11/8/2014My husband and I spent the night in Brighton, celebrating my birthday and our anniversary, when shopping downtown and asking where to eat, this was the place most recommended. We made reservations on-line (and glad we did, the restaurant was packed with a 45 min wait time). Drink list was extensive, with amazing martini's (yum... elderberry flower martini!). My husband had a pasta dish and I had the Mahi....both were exceptional!! Our waitress Emily, was incredible!! Super sweet, very fun and made our meal just that much better!!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Best Bacon CheeseburgerRobertVIPDined on 9/26/2014Must be the beef, but when I think of a great bacon cheese burger at home in Ohio, I want to get in the car and drive to Brighton. Try one. Brighton Bar and Grill also does any fish or seafood well.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Fabulous Dining!GrammaKatDined on 9/26/2014We live about 50 miles away from Brighton but will make the trip for dinner at the Brighton Bar and Grill. Everything from beginning to end was wonderful -- fabulous food, service, drinks, just a great place for a fine dining experience!Special Features:
- Another Great VisitTrevorLBrooksVIPDined on 9/19/2014Brighton Bar and Grill is one of my usual go to spots for the bar atmosphere, food and overall setting when my wife and I are just looking to relax a little with a couple of drinks and some good conversation. On this visit we had dinner with another couple and as always the food was wonderful. I have to give special recognition to Matthew who waited on us this visit, he provided impeccable service through out our evening.Special Features:
- Great AGAINkparDined on 9/19/2014Not only is the food wonderful but we had incredible service. Alyssa,our server, was attentive and so pleasant.

- Great meal!floatingdocVIPDined on 9/12/2014Had another great meal - steak benedict was delicious and cooked perfectly. Great wine list. Wait staff was friendly, helpful and non-obtrusive with no pressure to finish up and leave. Highly recommended!Special Features:
- Good first visitDayleDined on 9/10/2014I had lunch here with a friend who recommended the place. As it was raining, we stayed inside so I can't comment on the patio seating (if there is any) or view. The service was very good as our server was very attentive. That being said, due the time and the weather the place was pretty empty. The lunch menu had a wide variety of items. I chose the meatloaf. It was flavorful but the texture was rubbery. The stir fried veg on the side was excellent. Overall I give it a 4 out of 5 and will definitely come back. It was a nice, quiet place to have lunch with a colleague.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Unexpected Treat!GDubsVIPDined on 9/5/2014We didn't know what to expect when we visited Brighton Bar and Grill but were pleasantly surprised! The food and service were both fantastic! We arrived during the middle of a terrible storm (the lights even flickered) and the middle of a street festival (which had all parking/traffic blocked off), but the staff was awesome and accommodating. We both ordered pasta dishes (we were running a marathon the next day) and didn't have high expectations for pasta quality at a "bar and grill." However, we both agreed the dishes were among the best we ever had. We'll be returning!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Loved it!pamelammiDined on 8/16/2014We had an early birthday dinner prior to going to a movie in Brighton. The Brighton Bar and Grill was very good and we will dine there again when next in the area. We all enjoyed our meals, two of us had the tenderloin sandwich which was cooked to perfection and very tasty. One had a build your own burger and loved it, and one had the Maurice salad and said it was good too. Matthew was our server and he was great. We never had to wait for more water or beverage refills, he checked on us in a timely fashion and kept our table clear of any unnecessary items. If I were still a restaurant manager I definitely would hire him to work in my establishment.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Brighton's BestOpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 8/15/2014No other restaurant in Brighton is a must do, and do again. Consistently great food at reasonable prices. A fine wine list, without being pretentious. Mark is great as a manager and has a fine staff.Special Features:
- Wonderful find!TorofoodiesDined on 8/2/2014We found this through Open Table, and read reviews, which were great. When we got to Brighton the art fair was going on, so we walked around a bit, and then went in to eat. Our waiter (Kyle, I think) was awesome. He provided recommendations, and his service rhythm was perfect. The food was outstanding.Special Features:

- Great. As usual!TomMDined on 7/12/2014BB&G is one of our favorite spots in Brighton to eat. Consistently good food and atmosphere. On our most recent visit, their service went above and beyond. Dining with friends outside, we were caught in a summer storm but even though it was peak dinner hour, the staff found a table for us inside. They are amazing.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- One of my favoritesgeriDined on 7/12/2014Great local place. Outside dining is great for people watching. Their roast garlic platter appetizer is the best!Special Features:

- Perfect once moreGeorgeBDined on 6/6/2014Been going to Brighton Bar & Grill for the last 15 yrs. At least once a month. So we like the place, especially after the new owners took over, a few yrs ago. We will be going back there for the next 15 yrs :-)Special Features:

- Wonderful!OpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 5/31/2014My husband and I met my daughter here for dinner when she was in the area. We were so happy we had made a reservation, as the place was packed on a beautiful Saturday evening. The menu looked awesome and did not disappoint! I had the special halibut with a wonderful morel mushroom sauce, my daughter had the "drunken salmon", which she loved, and my husband had a steak (I had a bite, and it was great). We shared the calamari and garlic platter appetizer, both very generous portions, and could easily have served a few more. The service was awesome and efficient. Everyone was very friendly (even those not directly involved with our service). We will definitely return; this is the way all restaurants should be!Special Features:
- Dinner with a friendOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 5/30/2014I arrived early, got a booth as requested in the back room, for a quiet dinner with a friend so we could hear each other and not have to worry about being overheard. After I was seated, a party of 4 adults and a baby were seated in the same room, right next to my booth with a small divider wall between us. Before my guest arrived, the baby was fussy, but by the time my guest arrived, the baby was subdued. Had that not have been the case, I would have requested another table. The restaurant inside was not busy, and though there was ample outdoor seating, it was full and we would have had to compete with the car and other diners' noise. I was just fine being seated inside with air conditioning.Special Features:
- Good food, great serviceDryfly1Dined on 5/25/2014Outdoor seating as requested. Not in direct sun, which is good. Both our meals were good, service was very good, and cost was very reasonable.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great place for wonderful foodAJandDCDined on 5/23/2014Once again, we thoroughly enjoyed a wonderful meal at Brighton Bar & Grill. The food is great and selection numerous.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- knkbekDined on 5/17/2014The restaurant was recommended by a friend who told us we had to try the French onion soup and it was wonderful. We also tried the build your own burger and it was one of the best we've had. Loved the ambience and the opportunity to make reservations.Special Features:
- Great food, wine, and serviceTinaDined on 5/14/2014We had 3 adults and 2 kids in our party. Everyone had a different dish: pork chop, burger, and scallops. I tried them all including kids meals. It was very, very good! We ordered a bottle of Cabernet Savingnon from Kings Estate to complement our food. We were very happy with our choice. We had a brownie with ice cream in a skillet for dessert. It was to die for. The service was very good. This is a great place for family special occasion.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- something for everyonetrixiegDined on 5/11/2014We had a party of 4 with a variety of palates. There was something for everyone and EVERYTHING was delicious. Great wine & beer selection. The beet & goat cheese salad was the best ever. Pasta was excellent, seafood was perfect and the desserts were visual and taste delights. Knowledgeable server was greatly appreciated. We went to celebrate and it was a perfect spot.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Mother's Day BrunchaastevenDined on 5/11/2014I was very pleased with my visit this Mother's Day. Was late making reservations and on Thursday evening they were able to find my family of 7 a table for Sunday brunch. This was the 7th restaurant that I called and was the only place able to accomodate. I do not live in the area and Brighton worked as a nice meeting spot for myself, parents and my sisters family, so this restaurant we were taking a stab in the dark. Some family members were surprised by how nice the food and ambience of the place. When you read bar and grill it doesn't always give off the best vibe, but this was a great dining expereinve. The menu was great and prices were very competitive epsecially for the amount of food you receive. I would highly recommend this place!Special Features:
- Food was great as normalbbjeepenDined on 5/3/2014We really live this place. Our only complaint is that seem to over book. The last two time we went we had reservations and still had to wait 30 minutes and then the only table they offered was in the bar which is noisier and crowded.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Love2actfancyDined on 5/3/2014The BB&G roast chicken was over cooked and the Mac and cheese with chicken was decient. The virgin strawberry daiquiri was a little sour and our server rarely showed up until he saw our plates at the end of the table and knew we were doneSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

HFDM is a ground-station based system that is used to play back flight data to assess how the aircraft is flown and operated. Flight data is recorded by the Goodrich Health and Usage Monitoring System (HUMS) on the S-92 and by the EXVP HUMS on the S-76.
"The lessons learned from these reviews can be fed back into the operator's training process. The system's data collection and analysis capabilities augment the aircraft's existing HUMS system and also can help with the troubleshooting of aircraft operational issues," said Marc Poland, Sikorsky Vice President, Commercial Programs. "We see this as an important addition to the level of support that Sikorsky can offer to our operators. This is one more addition to our continuing safety initiatives."
Sikorsky selected Flightscape after thoroughly reviewing flight data analysis systems available in the marketplace, said Eric Hansen, Sikorsky S-76 Program Manager.
"Sikorsky was particularly impressed with Flightscape software's ease of use, support of flight data recorder systems, flexibility to view and analyze flight data as well as its ability to be customized for a specific operator's preferences. The ability to play back a flight with three-dimensional animation while viewing certain key parameters and automatically flagging maneuvers of concern make this a very powerful tool," Hansen said.
Sikorsky's new commercial aircraft Flight Management Operations Center will support the HFDM solution. Sikorsky and Flightscape will develop the S-76 and S-92 operational event sets and associated algorithms during the coming months to flag certain operating regimes and highlight these areas of concern upon playback.
Sikorsky Aircraft Corp., based in Stratford, Conn., is a world leader in helicopter design, manufacturing, and service. The company's long commitment to safety and innovation is reflected in its mission statement: "We pioneer flight solutions that bring people home everywhere...every timeTM." United Technologies Corp., based in Hartford, Conn., provides a broad range of high-technology products and support services to the aerospace and building systems industries.
This press release contains forward-looking statements concerning future business opportunities. Actual results may differ materially from those projected as a result of certain risks and uncertainties, including but not limited to changes in government procurement priorities and practices or in the number of aircraft to be built; challenges in the design, development, production and support of advanced technologies; as well as other risks and uncertainties, including but not limited to those detailed from time to time in United Technologies Corporation's Securities and Exchange Commission filings.

One of the lasting images of TCU's 2010 College World Series run was the dominating force that was freshman pitcher Matt Purke.Purke, who had turned down millions of dollars from the Texas Rangers the previous June, led a pitching staff that matched well with any in the country and took the Horned Frogs deep in the CWS in Omaha, Neb.Following the left-handed Purke were right-handers Kyle Winkler and Steven Maxwell, each dominant at times in their own right, which gave TCU its best pitching staff in history.Until 2014, that is. And it's not even close.TCU's staff, which leads the nation with a 2.14 ERA, not only compares arm for arm, but in most ways surpasses the '10 staff tenfold.Although bat regulations have changed to be more pitcher-friendly since 2011, the depth of the Frogs' current staff is much stronger."They're similar in that the frontline starting pitching is very good, all three of those [starters] are elite pitchers. Where the difference is is after that," TCU coach Jim Schlossnagle said."No disrespect to anybody on that team. [Tyler] Lockwood did a good job closing games for us that year. But it wasn't nearly as dominant."TCU's bullpen has been just as dominating as the starting pitching, which includes left-hander Brandon Finnegan (8-3), who starts Game 1 of the Fort Worth Super Regional against Pepperdine (42-16) ace right-hander Corey Miller (9-4) at 3 p.m. Saturday at Lupton Stadium. TCU pitching coach Kirk Saarloos, who is in his second year with the Frogs, brushed off his influence on the staff's success. But his demeanor and ability to relate as a former major league pitcher, and with a senior season at Cal State Fullerton in 2001 that was one of the greatest in college pitching history, has been immeasurable."Not that he wasn't talented, but he was a self-made pitcher instead of being a guy who had ridiculous skills," said Schlossnagle, who was an assistant at Tulane when Saarloos' Titans eliminated Tulane in the 2001 CWS."He's ridiculously intelligent. And he never drops the big league stuff on them. He has an appreciation for who they are as pitchers. He doesn't try to coach Riley Ferrell the way he pitched, but it sure helps a guy like Preston Morrison to have a pitching coach like Kirk Saarloos. For a guy who doesn't have a lot of coaching experience, he has a real good feel for how to teach and how to coach."Saarloos oversees a diverse staff, which has been one of the Frogs' winning elements this season. Hard-throwing left-handers such as Finnegan, Tyler Alexander and relievers Alex Young and Travis Evans complement a finesse pitcher such as Morrison, who will start Sunday's game."You have a first-round guy on Friday nights, followed by a righty [Morrison] who's probably one of the best college pitchers over the first three years of his career who throws sidearm," Saarloos said. "Then you go back to a left-hander [Alexander] that's different than Brandon. A three-pitch mix guy who can really throw to both sides of the plate. It's just a different look."And then there's TCU's unequaled bullpen, which can throw consistent heat with multiple arms, including right-handers Trey Teakell and closer Riley Ferrell, who has a TCU-record 14 saves and whose fastball often touches 100 mph. TCU's bullpen-only ERA is 2.32."It's fun to be able to look at your sheet every day and see, What matchup does this call for?" Saarloos said. The pitchers came to Saarloos with natural talent, but they've also worked at taking advantage of those talents, and it has paid off big time so far, he said."It's all about what those guys have done in the weight room, nutritionally, and the bullpen work for the last nine months," Saarloos said. "It's fun to see their hard work pay off."For Schlossnagle, the deep bullpen, even if it's not necessary in a best-of-three series, is what separates this staff from 2010."Having guys like Young and Evans in the bullpen is a difference-maker. So we're just deeper. We can do different things out of the bullpen when we have to do it," he said.As was evident in the Frogs' extra-inning wins in last's week regional, the bullpen is stocked six deep."[Leading the nation in ERA] is pretty cool. It takes an entire staff to get that," said Morrison, who leads the team with a 1.24 ERA. "It's not just a couple guys. We have a bunch of guys who can really pitch. You have guys behind you that if you get in trouble, they'll come in and get a strikeout or get the outs and limit damage. The depth really speaks to it. We saw it in the fall. They pitched very well."It's a close staff, too, Saarloos said. Together they've forged a staff-wide mentality that buoys their confidence from pitcher to pitcher."It's as close of a pitching staff as I've ever been around," Saarloos said. "They enjoy being around each other. Each guy passes the ball to the next guy. "It's a great place to pitch and we have guys who pitch to contact. But we have guys with swing-and-miss stuff, so when you put those two together — pitching to contact and swing-and-miss stuff to go with it, it's a pretty good recipe for a pitching staff."

Two Irish chefs have teamed up to share their homegrown culinary skills with the world via YouTube.
Both qualified chefs and lifelong friends, Brendan O'Neill and Bryan Cleary will share their cooking traditions and methods with the world via the Internet.
O'Neill says that that one of the biggest problems facing the Irish food industry today is the emergence of young chefs who are not full trained.
Cleary admits the training process he went through was extensive.
"When I served my apprenticeship, it was a six year gig. Then I began to see chefs being churned out into the industry after 16 weeks, and they were calling themselves chefs. From six years to 16 weeks?" he said.
With their combined expertise and talent, the two chefs plan to create a website that will help train young chefs in the basics of food preparation.

As far as permanent collections go, the Norton Museum of Art has some impressive acquisitions. Most are paintings: American and European masterpieces from the 19th and 20th centuries. But the small collection of pre-Columbian and ancient Mexican ceramics and sculptures currently on display is just as aesthetically magnificent and historically significant, if not more. "Earthen Images: Ceramics from Ancient America" features 17 objects from six South American civilizations that flourished thousands of years before the discovery of the Americas. Three highly ornamentalized cylindrical vases sit together in a glass case, reflecting skeletal figures and organic designs in natural, subtle hues of orange, red, and cream. A sleek "Coprador"-style Maya funerary sculpture of a dog holding an ear of corn in its mouth casts an unsettling gaze at its audience. Even more disturbing is the fact that these iconographic dogs from Colima were actual hairless creatures bred as ceremonial food and companions for the afterlife. The late Pre-Classic (100 BC to 300 BC) figures were found in eight out of every ten Maya tombs. Another creepy but fascinating object is a ladle, used during the ritual of human sacrifice. It depicts the sacred ulluchu fruit, which was believed to have anticoagulant properties, shaped into a ladle to hold the blood of sacrificial victims. Although "Earthen Images" is tucked away in a small room, the installation provides a fulfilling experience, complete with an extremely detailed reference book that defines each culture and its traditions. (Through May 28 at the Norton Museum of Art, 1451 S. Olive Ave., West Palm Beach. Call 561-832-5196.)
Now on Display
The mummy of Tutankhamun, discovered in 1922 in a burial chamber near Luxor, Egypt, remains in its home country, as does Tut's elaborate gold-plated sarcophagus. But 50 burial objects are now on display at the Museum of Art in "Tutankhamun and the Golden Age of the Pharaohs," as well as 70 objects from other tombs and a nifty video reproduction of the grimacing mummy, revealing itself on a flat, bed-like screen with an accompaniment of spine-tingling movie music. The exhibition is shamelessly overpriced (top tickets are $30) and, let's face it, a little on the skimpy side (there are more than 5,000 artifacts from Tut's tomb, meaning we get a measly 1 percent for our money). But you can't argue with the show's artistic merit. The anonymous Egyptian sculptors and goldsmiths who created the objects to facilitate the young pharaoh's passage to the Other Side were great artists. Here, for example, is a striking, 18-inch, gilded, wood statuette of Horus the Elder, with a long, tight-fitting tunic, folded arms, straight Cleopatra tresses, and the face of a falcon. Horus, according to a book written to accompany the show by Egypt's antiquities czar, Dr. Zahi Hawass, is "a sky god linked with the ascension of the king to the stars." The statuette's creator has given him a short, predatory beak, sharply focused eyes, and a remarkable spark of life. There are the carved heads of cow goddesses, one of them leaving the graceful wood grain exposed, like fur markings. Lanky panthers are caught midstride. There's a winged sphinx, carved on a gilded ceremonial shield, dispassionately trampling Nubian warriors underfoot, and a carved wood serpent goddess, its wings stretched protectively forward. And there are dozens of images of Tut himself in various incarnations, doe-eyed, visionary, emanating a vast calm. You begin to understand the excitement of the archaeologists who broke into Tut's tomb 83 years ago. (Through April 23 at the Museum of Art, 1 E. Las Olas Blvd., Fort Lauderdale. Call 954-525-5500)
The notorious Whistler's Mother is not among the dozen oil paintings included in "James McNeill Whistler: Selected Works from the Hunterian Art Gallery, Glasgow, Scotland," at the Boca Raton Museum of Art. It now belongs to the Musée d'Orsay in Paris, and it's rarely seen in the artist's native country. And maybe that's a good thing, because without the glaring spotlight of its fame to distract us, we're left to look at Whistler's work in an altogether different light. This exhibition draws on one of the world's most extensive Whistler collections and features items culled from a 40-year period. Along with those 12 oils are dozens of drawings, etchings, and lithographs, a few watercolors, and a smattering of such personal memorabilia as letters, manuscripts, and books. Aside from a couple of the oils, however, we don't get much sense of Whistler's achievement as a painter. That's a shame, because since his death in 1903, he has largely fallen out of favor, overshadowed by, for instance, impressionism, which he arguably anticipated. There's even a pale, ineffable trace of Vermeer's Street in Delft in the 1897 small oil panel The Priest's Lodging, Dieppe. But the portraits here, including a self-portrait circa 1896 and some obscure nudes, aren't of much interest. The show does include one of the series of Nocturnes painted in the mid-1870s, inspired by a favorite subject: London's Thames River at nightfall or in the evening. There's almost no attempt at realism and instead an emphasis on mood, although the artist never gives in to abstraction completely. In A Distant Dome, which he painted during a trip to Corsica near the end of his life, he comes close to suggesting the substance of a real landscape rather than just its feel. Despite Whistler's undeniable technical mastery, his overall cultural contribution seems to have been eclipsed, ultimately, by his flamboyant life and personality. This uneven exhibition from the Hunterian Gallery seeks to reclaim the artist's rightful position in art history and to restore some perspective to his reputation. It's a valiant effort, even if it's only partially successful. His mother, of course, would probably disagree. (Through April 2, at Boca Raton Museum of Art, 501 Plaza Real, Mizner Park, Boca Raton. Call 561-392-2500.)

The recently certificated private pilot reported that the engine lost power while on final approach to an airport, 3 hours after takeoff for a local flight. The pilot and his father performed a 25 minute flight in the local area in the same airplane earlier that morning. They planned for a 1.5 hour flight in the afternoon. He reported checking the fuel quantity with a stick and estimated to have enough fuel for a 2.5 to 3.0 hour flight. The pilot stated that he encountered strong winds while in the local area that drifted him further east than he anticipated. The airplane came to rest on the shoulder of a county road, approximately 850 feet from the landing threshold for runway 36. No evidence of fuel was found at the accident site.

With March Madness whittling down to its Final Four (Connecticut, Florida, Kentucky and Wisconsin, for those just tuning in now), sports fans have moved from cheering on the success of their own brackets to rooting for their favorites of the quartet of teams remaining. Celebrities are no different. Though Louisville's own Jennifer Lawrence may be left without a team to root for, other members of the A-list have fared far luckier.
From former athletes to proud graduates to bandwagoners, let's run down the stars cheering for each Final Four team during the 2014 tournament.

Psalm 5:12: "For you bless the righteous, O LORD; you cover him with favor as with a shield."
This verse is one of my favorites. I love the image of God's favor spread over us like a piece of armor. But, like so many verses, it raises the question: what is God's favor? What does Scripture mean when it says God's favor is for a lifetime (Psa. 30:5), or when God tells us "In my favor I have had mercy on you" (Isaiah 60:10)?
Rather than a dictionary definition, let me give an illustration. A few weeks ago my wife and I became new parents when our son Elliot was born. Now when I'm away from home during the day, my wife sends me pictures of Elliot's facial expressions. One of the pictures had the caption: "It's official. He's the cutest little boy ever."
Now I can't honestly or logically say Elliot is the cutest boy in the history of humankind. I haven't seen every child ever born, nor is there any way to actually compare "cuteness." But it doesn't matter. Because he's ours, everything about him delights us. That's the way family love works. Parents don't put on their art critic hat when their children bring them a scribbled picture of the family, even if a four year-old's sense of perspective makes Mom and Dad look like the Goodyear blimp. You delight in it simply because they're your children drawing the picture.
And that's a picture of the favor of the Lord.
If you're a Christian, you belong to God as a child belongs to parents. Actually, that's getting things backwards. A parent's delight in their child simply because they belong to the family is a faint reflection of the love that has eternally existed in the heart of God the Father for his adopted children in Jesus Christ. Yes, you're a sinner. Yes, you have weaknesses. Yes, you blow it regularly. But you're still his child. When God looks at you, he smiles. Not because of your performance and certainly not because of all the good things you do for him. Simply because you're his.
Zechariah 2:8: "For thus said the LORD of hosts….he who touches you touches the apple of his eye."
Zephaniah 3:17: "The LORD your God is in your midst, a mighty one who will save; he will rejoice over you with gladness; he will quiet you by his love; he will exult over you with loud singing."

WASHINGTON (AP) -- Data shows a decade of war that put a greater focus on battle competence has resulted in a spike in soldiers forced out of the Army because of misconduct.
The information obtained by The Associated Press shows the number of officers who left the Army for drugs, alcohol, crimes and other misconduct more than tripled in the past three years. The number of enlisted soldiers forced out shot up from about 5,600 in 2007 to more than 11,000 last year.
The data also underscores the strains of long, repeated deployments.
It also reflects the Army's decisions to relax standards a bit to bring in and retain tens of thousands of soldiers during the fights in Afghanistan and Iraq.
Gen. Ray Odierno, the Army's top officer, tells the AP it wasn't a case of tolerating bad behavior but that "we might have lost focus on this issue."

The Wall Street Journal cites new Dealogic research, which forecasts that "U.S. corporate bond issuance looks set to top $100 billion for September — only the third time it has crossed that monthly threshold since at least 1995." Leading the charge is United Parcel Service Inc. with a $1.75 billion deal, along with billion-dollar offerings from several foreign banks. According to Andrew Karp, head of investment-grade debt syndicate at Bank of America Merrill Lynch, companies are tapping the market now in case jitters over Europe return and hike up borrowing costs. "The volume of debt sales is expected to slow in October," the Journal concludes, "when companies retreat into earnings season, leading more issuers to cram their borrowing into this month."

Did you know that, on December 2 2013, hundreds of food bloggers from different countries swap cookies? Packages filled with delicious cookies crossed countries and oceans to arrive at doorsteps and be devoured. This isn't the first time this phenomenon has happened. It has been happening since 2011.
All of these bloggers (including myself) joined together for The Great Food Blogger Cookie Swap, in partnership with OXO, Gold Medal Flour, Dixie Crystals and Grandma's Molasses, to benefit Cookies for Kid's Cancer. And, we were able to raise $13,778.40! How awesome is that!?
I thought long and hard about what kind of cookies I wanted to make. This was my first time participating in The Great Food Blogger Cookie Swap. I felt a lot of pressure to get it right, only because I am nutty like that. Finally, I decided that some chewy gingery cookies with chocolate chips and a rum glaze would be "aaaaaawesome sauce!"
This recipe was perfect! The best part was that the recipe made just over 4 dozen, three for the swap and one for me! And, I ate every single one, including all the crumbs. I have fallen in love with the combination of ginger and chocolate and I am sure you will too. I made the glaze extra thin so it would dry for shipping, but feel free to make it as thin or as thick as you like and add a little extra rum if you like too.
A special shout out to Julie and Lindsay for wrangling all these crazy food bloggers and coordinating this awesome cookie swap benefiting such a great cause. Also, thank you to Kristin, Jessica and Megan for the yummy cookies! We ate them all!
If you want to know more about The Great Food Bloggers Cookie Swap check it out here!
- 1 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
- 2 cups sugar
- 2 large eggs
- ½ cup molasses
- 4 cups flour
- 2 tsp baking soda
- 2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 2 tsp ground cloves
- 2 tsp ground ginger
- 2 tablespoons crystalized ginger
- ½ cup chocolate chips
- Glaze
- 1½ cups powdered sugar, sifted
- 3 tablespoons spiced rum
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer using a paddle attachment, beat the sugar and butter on high speed until light and creamy. Add eggs one at a time, mixing after each. Add molasses and mix until well combined.
- In a bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, cloves, and gingers. Add the dry ingredients to the molasses mixture, add chocolate chips and mix on low until combined.
- Scoop the dough using a cookie scoop. Place the cookie dough on the prepared sheet pan. Place the sheet pan in the freezer for 15 minutes to chill.
- Bake for 10 minutes or until the edges are have puffed and set. Let cool on the sheet pan for 5 minutes, then place on a wire rack to cool completely.
- While the cookies are cooling whisk together your powdered sugar and rum until it is well combined. I did mine on the thinner side so they would set for shipping, but you can make it as thick as you like. You can use water to thin the glaze or rum if you want more of a kick.
- Glaze cookies and enjoy!

Between the Cracks
Melbourne's very own Diva extraordinaire – the feather ruffler, the rabble rouser, the cabaret provocateur Yana Alana, takes to the stage for her first solo show (with two people in it).
Between the Cracks traverses the private places and deepest holes of this multi- award winning diva as she opens up and bares all in this bent night of blues, burlesque and blame.
After two years out of the public eye, time in rehab and lots of self-medicating, Yana Alana unapologetically returns to bare all in intimate night of camp cabaret.
"I've done a lot of work on myself over the past two years. I even went to a naturopath and discovered that I'm intolerant," says Yana.
A mistress at emotional manipulation and the art of entrapment, Yana Alana invites you to view the world from the heart and mind of a solipsistic, fragile and courageous diva, who's not afraid to let it all hang out.
Directed by Anni Davey, performed by Sarah Ward and Louise Goh.
'Whether you're a long term fan, or have never seen her perform, you'll never regret seeing Yana Alana, upclose and rather personal. She is a pure force of nature (a blue one, of course), full of wit, a
delightful lack of self-dignity, and laugh-out-loud moments.' Aussie Theatre review, February 2013
