Investors can have a high degree of influence on the operations of their portfolio companies because of their capital and their board roles. Such influence, at times, may push through ideas that are not in alignment with the leadership team's strategy. This article offers one VC's insights into the relationship between investor and the entrepreneur or CEO.
The mysteries of how VCs determine company value can be daunting to entrepreneurs. This uncertainty is due, in large part, to the uncertainty of the valuation process itself. From the VC Confidential blog, here is a glimpse of what that process looks like.
This brief, to-the-point VC blog entry explains why investors often consider operating cash flow as the best measure of business health. The piece also explains one way for entrepreneurs to calculate it with investors in mind.
When seeking venture capital, entrepreneurs may be asked to sign a term sheet with a no-shop clause. That means the entrepreneur agrees not to seek other investors during the final negotiations. This blog entry contains some good advice that isn't necessarily obvious to the uninitiated.
Review this sample Cash Flow Report and Cash Flow Statement for this year old business to understand the primary differences in these two reports and the value in using them in reporting financial information.
Along with this sample Income Statement for a year old business, this tool provides a line-by-line explanation of the most common categories used to report profits.

The Enterprise Development Network (EDN) is a strategic alliance between the Overseas Private Investment Corporation (OPIC) and the private sector. Through a growing network of private sector organizations, EDN greatly extends OPIC's ability to provide financing and political risk insurance (PRI) to more micro-, small- and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs) doing business in developing countries.
The structure of EDN consists of three service providers. Loan and Political Risk Insurance Originators (Originators) serve as local service providers to micro, small-medium enterprises (MSMEs) to help develop the OPIC application package, refine marketing strategies, and draft or enhance business plans. Financial institutions serve as Designated Lenders to establish OPIC-backed lending facilities that are used to make loans to MSMEs or their affiliates for projects in OPIC-eligible countries. EDN Advisers are specialists in particular business sectors and geographic areas throughout the world and assist OPIC in credit underwriting and due diligence on OPIC-funded loans.

Cover more area with yard tractors from Sears
Yard tractors give you the power you need to cut through taller grass and weeds without slowing you down. Sears has an entire inventory of heavy-duty name brand yard tractors from Craftsman and Snapper with up to 57-inch cutting decks and V-twin Briggs & Stratton motors. Even on a riding mower, cut grass around tight corners with the Craftsman Turn Tight yard tractor. You also have access to tractors with bundle packages that include baggers and mulching kits for handling multiple yard tasks at once.
Even if you prefer to use a push mower, minimize your workload with self-propelled lawn mowers from Craftsman and Husqvarna. Unlike a standard push mower, the self-propelled mower features a front- or rear-wheel drive option that moves the mower forward without any additional effort on your part. Most Craftsman self-propelled mowers feature rear baggers for collecting the grass clippings as you mow. Other options include key, pull and push-button starters for easy operation. Consider the Craftsman self-propelled mower with its 190cc motor, 22-inch cutting deck and 12-inch wheels for easy maneuverability over uneven terrain.
If you have trouble choosing between self-propelled mowers or riding mowers, then consider your lawn's total area and grass type. For smaller yards in residential neighborhoods, opt for an electrical self-propelled mower. It works best on fine grasses such as fescue, and it cuts through the grass with minimal noise from the engine. Larger yards require Craftsman riding mowers with wide 47-inch cutting decks for covering more area in the yard. Some riding mowers feature 7-speed shift transmissions that don't require you to stop or use the clutch to increase your speed. You can also invest in riding mower accessories such as baggers or mulching kits to improve your mower's functionality.
Zero-turn tractors come in handy for mowing around trees and other obstacles that get in your way while cutting the grass. Unlike standard riding mowers, the zero-turn tractor has handles instead of a steering wheel, giving you more freedom of movement and precise turning capability around obstacles. Craftsman zero-turn tractors feature powerful V-twin motors and up to 54-inch cutting decks for covering a large area in less time. You can also attach baggers and mulching kits to your zero-turn tractor for use with residential and commercial landscaping projects.
A yard tractor gives you the freedom to mow your lawn without having to walk or push a mower back and forth. A self-propelled mower does the pushing for you, but a riding mower gives you a comfortable place to sit and a wide cutting deck for completing the job in less time. Shop at Sears for the biggest selection of heavy-duty mowers and name brand accessories for your lawn and garden.

CLEAN was launched in April 2003. Randi Shinder, the founder, desired a fragrance that was reminiscent of pure soap, that universal fresh out of the shower scent. Unable to find such a fragrance, she developed her own.
After wearing her own creation, CLEAN captured the attention of friends and family and she knew she had something she could not keep to herself. She created CLEAN and CLEAN Sweet Layer, and the phenomenon continues...
CLEAN Fragrance is a fragrance line for the simple side of a complicated life. The uniquely fresh smelling scents inspired by soap are formulated in small quantities thus ensuring all ingredients are fresh, pure and of the highest quality. The CLEAN woman or man wouldn't have it any other way!

fresh and natural - 4/9/2008 4:52:33 PM This was the first fragrance I've tried in a LONG time that I liked right away (rather than "after it softened up some"). It is very fresh and herbal/floral--I do notice the jasmine as a predominate note. It is not overpowering at all yet it does not die down terribly like many natural fragrances tend to do. Gave it 4 1/2 stars only because the citrus notes were not as strong as I'd like, but it is a lovely fragrance nonetheless :) -

Arturo Fuente Rosado Sungrown Magnum R Cigars Cigars
Arturo Fuente Rosado Sungrown Magnum R
The Arturo Fuente Rosado Sungrown Magnum R is yet another show-stopping cigar coming from master blender Carlos Fuente Jr. Ever since their beginning, the Fuente family has absolutely dominated the cigar industry with their exotic blends, incredible workmanship and unmatched consistency. The Rosado Sungrown is by no means any exception to this standard of quality that the Fuentes seem to master like nobody else. As just about all Fuente cigars, this one hails from the Dominican Republic and is lovingly rolled using the finest quality Dominican filler and binder leaves. The big story about this cigar, however, is the exotic Ecuadorian Rosado Sungrown wrapper leaf, gathered from the lower primings of the tobacco plant for a more mellow, "old-school" taste, straying from Carlos Fuente Jr's signature trend of powerful "experienced smoker only" cigars of recent years. These leaves were left over from the original Fuente Sungrown line and aged for an incredible 8-10 years before rolling. After production, the cigars age for an additional year in order for the flavors to "marry."
It's draped in a gorgeous reddish-brown wrapper leaf, smooth and silky to the touch with no veins. The band is completely re-designed from the original Fuente line, this one red, white, and black with the words "Rosado Gran Reserva" across the bottom. The cigar has a firm draw that brings about truckloads of thick blue smoke. It's mild to medium in body but very complex and smooth, with a classic tobacco flavor very much like the Cubans of old. There are hints of nuts and caramel and just a touch of citrus on the finish. It has a razor-sharp burn with a solid light gray ash that seems to never fall off. Absolutely flawless construction on this very pleasant and enjoyable cigar.
While not anywhere near as potent as many of the other cigars in the Fuente lineup, the Rosado Sungrown possesses characteristics of its own that set it apart from just about any other cigar out there. Any experienced aficionado would be pleased to smoke it, as well as someone just starting out. It's very versatile and perfect for any occasion, but perhaps the morning would be an ideal time to smoke this one, alongside a steaming cup of coffee or hot tea. Cigars similar to this one include Oliva Serie O and Romeo y Julieta Reserva Real. For the Fuente family, every cigar is a blockbuster. The Arturo Fuente Rosado Sungrown is just another cigar proving the impossibility of a bad cigar coming out of the Fuente factory.

Important Information for People with Disabilities on Medicaid: Shed Your Spend Down?
For many people with disabilities on Medicaid, the word "spend down" brings on a headache. ("Spend down" is the monthly amount you have to pay or spend on medical care before your Medicaid kicks in). But the recent Medicaid expansion offers relief to many people on spend down.
If you currently have Medicaid with a monthly spend down, a change in the rules may now allow you to get Medicaid benefits without that spend down. On January 1, 2014, Ohio expanded Medicaid eligibility to 138% of the Federal Poverty Level ($1,294 for a household of one) for low-income Ohioans regardless of whether individuals have children or are disabled. If you are under 65 and not currently eligible for Medicare, you may be able to switch to this new category of Medicaid and avoid having to pay a monthly spend down. The benefits package for the expansion category of Medicaid is just as generous and utilizes the same managed care plans.
Understanding The Affordable Care Act
Are you currently uninsured?
If so, you may be eligible to enroll in Medicaid or obtain private subsidized insurance through the Marketplace.
Who is eligible for Medicaid and how do I apply?
Medicaid now covers individuals up to 138% of the Federal Poverty Level, which is $16,116 a year for a household of one. You no longer need to be a child, parent, senior or a person with a disability to qualify. You can apply online at http://benefits.ohio.gov/ or call 1-800-324-8680. You may also contact your local County Department of Job and Family Services. You can enroll in Medicaid at any time.
Who is eligible for marketplace coverage and how do I apply?
If your income is above 138% but below 400% of the Federal Poverty level, which is $46,680 for an individual and $95,400 for a family of four, you will be eligible for coverage through the Marketplace with subsidies to help you with premiums. In addition, individuals with lower incomes will also be eligible for cost sharing assistance to help with out of pocket costs. You can enroll online at www.healthcare.gov or by telephone at 1-800-318-2596. You can also get assistance with your application by contacting a navigator through the Ohio Benefits Bank at (800) 648-1176 or you can find the closest Certified Application Counselor to you by searching by zip code at www.healthcare.gov. The open enrollment for the marketplace is from November 15, 2014 to February 15, 2015. After that time, you will have to meet the requirements for a special enrollment period to apply until the end of 2015.
What if I currently have coverage through a marketplace plan?
You will want to review the plan during the open enrollment period of November 15, 2014 through February 15, 2015 to see if there have been changes to the plan and to ensure that it still meets your needs. If you have any questions, please let us know and one of our public benefits team staff will be happy to speak with you.

Harmonious living: Oak Forest man enjoys being one-man band
BY GINGER BRASHINGER Correspondent October 31, 2012 1:42PM
Bill "Bill the Band" Ehm, of Oak Forest, performs at the Acorn Public Library during an appearance in October. | Ginger Brashinger~For Sun-Times Media
Updated: December 2, 2012 6:03AM
He is now known as "Bill the Band," but Bill Ehm said his musical career began with a single instrument: a dime-store harmonica.
"I bought a toy harmonica for 29 cents when I was 9 years old," said Ehm, 61, of Oak Forest. "It had instructions for 'Oh! Susanna!' on the package, and I taught myself to play."
When his father noticed how well he played, they upgraded to a Hohner harmonica, he said.
"I just had an aptitude," Ehm said. "I kind of played by ear."
What Ehm calls "aptitude," others might say is a gift, judging by the audience reaction at one of his recent public performances as a one-man band. He does shows at retirement homes and recently did one at the Oak Forest Public Library.
Ehm's performances include playing his melodic, 15-year-old Fender Stratocaster guitar, aka "Old Blue," from which he can entice melody, bass and chords to produce everything from the smooth sounds of Duke Ellington's "Satin Doll" to the biting vibrations of the steel guitar in Santo and Johnny's "Sleep Walk."
Next, he sets his "primitive drum machine" to provide background for every song.
"Then I add my vocals and it sounds more like 'Bill the Band,' " Ehm said.
He also still plays the harmonica.
Ehm's impersonations of B.B. King, Elvis Presley, Dean Martin and others become part of the act. The audience on a recent night didn't seem to miss "Satchmo's" coronet as Ehm performed his imitation of Louis Armstrong singing "When You're Smiling."
Ehm credits his audience for the idea to create "Bill the Band."
When Ehm found himself in the late 1990s accepting daytime gigs for his band but playing them alone because his other band members had day jobs, he knew he was on to something.
"Everybody said, 'Hey, Bill, you sound like a whole band,' and then the name 'Bill the Band' was born," Ehm said. "I've been doing that pretty much ever since."
Ehm's love affair with music began with the harmonica and then moved to the clarinet. He said he learned to play as a fifth-grade student at Arbor Park Middle School in Oak Forest.
He was content with that until 1964.
"Then the Beatles hit," Ehm said. "I liked the Beatles. ... but what I really liked was Chuck Berry. I said, 'I really want to play that.' "
Ehm and three friends formed a band named "The Blues Possessive" to reflect his love of blues. The group began playing in an Oak Forest tavern, the Ten Pin Lounge, owned by the parents of one of the band members.
"We were working two or three nights just about all through high school," Ehm said.
The band members were paid $40 a night, he said, until an Oak Forest bowling alley "stole us away" for its lounge and "bumped us up from $40 to $75," he said.
After he graduated from Tinley Park High School, Ehm said he traveled "all over the country," from Utah to the East Coast.
"I'm kind of the Forrest Gump of music," he said.
By 1975, Ehm returned to Illinois to play country music at the Pink Cloud Lounge in Alsip.
"I went there to fill in for someone for the weekend, and I stayed three years," Ehm said.
He married his wife, Barbara, in 1987. They settled down in Oak Forest and raised a daughter, Christy.
Ehm's band worked mostly corporate and private parties until he began working on his own.
Ehm said that although he loves to perform, he hasn't brought his marketing techniques into the 21st century.
"I'm probably the best-kept secret on the South Side," he said.
He depends on word-of-mouth advertising to get jobs, but he's working on creating a website and a CD, he said.
"My goal is to come up with a finished product that I can hawk to get jobs," Ehm said.
In the meantime, his favorite audiences are at the retirement homes where he frequently plays.
"In the process of becoming 'Bill the Band,' some of the most rewarding moments of my life are because I do a lot of work with seniors," Ehm said.
He has no plans for his own retirement, saying he'll play "until I drop dead."
"People ask me if I've been playing guitar all my life," Ehm said with a twinkle in his eye. "I tell them, 'Not yet.' "
Contact "Bill the Band" Ehm at (708) 687-4086.

Carrying the Olympic Flame for the ITF
Master Donato Nardizzi from England has been selected to carry the flame in the Olympic torch relay. He was nominated for the work he has done in developing the Taekwon-Do Kids Program and for teaching the Taekwon-Do, in particular the moral values, to children in the local community.
He will be carrying the torch on 23rd July in the Merton area in London. He hopes to have the streets lined up with many children wearing doboks to raise public attention about the Kids Program and the ITF.
Being selected as an Olympic Torchbearer has given Master Nardizzi a good opportunity to visit many schools in London to speak about his role as a Torchbearer. During the visits, Master Nardizzi raised awareness about Taekwon-Do and the benefits it has for young children. The schools were always pleased to hear the valuable moral education that Master Nardizzi imparted on the children.
Master Nardizzi also took part in the Martial Arts Show which took place in the NEC Birmingham on 12th - 13th May. His stall promoted the activities of the ITF, including the forthcoming World Cup 2012 and The ITF Kid's Program.
Master Nardizzi performed a demonstration on both days. On the second day, after doing an autograph signing session, he performed on the main stage. He performed a 10 minute routine including shadow sparring, board breaking, pattern Moon-Moo, model sparring and defence against a knife attack. After the performance he had an interview in which he was able to mention all the Taekwon-Do projects he is involved with. He spoke about his role as ITF England president and how he got nominated to carry the Olympic Torch and then followed up speaking about the ITF Kid's Program.
This year the ITF Taekwon-Do Kids Program kicks off with two courses taking place in the next two months. One in London, England on 9th & 10th June and one in Benidorm, Spain on 27th to 29th July. Master Nardizzi is confident that the Kids Program will be a success. He said "Many instructors struggle with teaching young children and even those that are good at entertaining a young class find it difficult to retain them when they move on to more structured activities as they progress beyond yellow belt. When instructors realise how easy it is to have an ideal environment in your kids class using the Taekwon-Do Kids Program, they will be sold on it. The beauty of the Taekwon-Do Kids Program is that it transforms children as young as 3 years into ideal students by the time they are 7 years regardless of their ability level. The program focuses on developing all the aspects of becoming an ideal student, including having the ability to listen and concentrate, having good knowledge of fundamental Taekwon-Do skills, being confident and believing in themselves, having good interpersonal skills, having good discipline and self-control, having a correct mind-set that allows proper moral development and, very importantly, having a love for the art of Taekwon-Do".

Pritchett will begin the leadership role at the start of the new year,and will be the first to hold the position since the death of manager David James in September.
"I learned a lot from him and he put a lot of things in place that we hope to continue," said Pritchett, in reference to James. "We worked a long time together and accomplished many things — roads, parking lots, schools, walking trails."
Pritchett said it's an honor to take over and to continue serving the county.
"I'm very proud to be promoted and that the board of supervisors has put their trust in me," he said. "I will do the best job I can to manage our roads.
"I believe that I can lead well and establish strong relationships with the employees I'll be working with."
Growing up in the county and spending the last couple of years as the road foreman in Shelby, Pritchett's knowledge of the roads made him the ideal replacement.
"Citizens should know that Mr. Pritchett comes with extensive knowledge of Bolivar County's roads," said Will Hooker, Bolivar County administrator. "We're happy to have someone in charge who knows so much about local roads.
"The late David James spoke very highly of Mr. Pritchett and when it came down to yearly reviews, he was always at the top of the list," added Hooker.
In his role as road foreman, Pritchett was responsible for all roads north of Miss. Highway 8 up to the Coahoma County line.
He began working for the department as a road grader operator and has mastered all relevant machinery in the last 15 years.
Continuing to mend roads and streets, potholes, ditches and bridges will remain at the forefront for Pritchett.
"We will do everything possible to make our roads better for travel," he said. "We're especially focused on making travel safer for school buses carrying the kids to school."

Little Big Town — Phillip Sweet (from left), Karen Fairchild, Kimberly Schlapman and Jimi Westbrook — are touring behind their latest album, "Tornado." | Williams + Hirakawa photo
♦ 7:30 p.m. March 21
♦ Rialto Square Theatre,
102 N. Chicago St., Joliet
♦ Tickets, $28-$58
♦ (815) 726-6600; rialtosquare.com
Updated: April 16, 2013 3:13PM
There was a time not so long ago when the smiles on the collective faces of the members of country foursome Little Big Town seemed to hide any frustration.
Their names weren't being called up to the stage at the major awards shows despite huge hits such as "Boondocks" and "Little White Church."
Their strongest songs weren't finding their way to the top of the charts despite the undeniable emotions behind tunes such as "Shut up Train" and "Kiss Goodbye."
And despite years of opening for country music's biggest acts, they had yet to earn their place as headliners.
"We had albums where we would get that big hit, and then nothing else would catch on," Karen Fairchild said from backstage at their recent tour stop at the Four Winds Casino Resort in New Buffalo, Mich.
"Sometimes, the stars just don't align. But with 'Tornado,' they finally did."
Indeed, 2012 brought Little Big Town the success that had eluded the band for so long.
It was if members Fairchild, Phillip Sweet, Kimberly Schlapman and Jimi Westbrook's collective hints of frustration twisted into a furious "Tornado," their fifth studio album.
"Tornado" spawned a Country Music Association win for vocal group of the year and a Grammy win for best duo/country performance for "Pontoon."
"I remember people coming up to us at the Academy of Country Music (awards) at this time last year, asking what was different about us," recalled Schlapman, who also just celebrated the second season of her cooking TV show, "Kimberly's Simply Southern," on the Great American Country channel.
"We had just got out of the studio from recording 'Tornado' and collectively we knew what we had."
"We were definitely standing up a bit straighter," added Westbrook, who will spend the summer on tour with Keith Urban. "Everything felt different."
More than ready to bring their headlining "Tornado" tour to the Rialto Square Theatre in Joliet on March 21, the group's members seem to have hit the sweet spot of their career.
The album's title track reached No. 1 on the country music charts in March, and the eerie yet realistic upcoming single "Your Side of the Bed" sits poised to make more noise on the charts in the coming weeks.
Little Big Town also seems to be enjoying the chance to vocalize the band members support for newcomers such as "American Idol" contestant Kree Harrison, country breakout co-star Kacey Musgraves and tour opener David Nail.
"We love being able to be at the point of our career where we can bring people out on tour with us that we personally support, in the same way so many artists supported us through the years," Fairchild said.
While the success of the past year has kept the four from having much time to devote to a new album, they say some ideas are naturally beginning to flow.
"We definitely would love to have something out sometime next year," Sweet said. "I've been storing some ideas in my good ol' iPhone. (Laughs) We are just enjoying where we are right now."
Indeed, the group's members said they plan to enjoy that sweet spot for the foreseeable future, both professionally and personally.
Just a few short weeks ago, Westbrook and Fairchild's son, Elijah, celebrated his third birthday with a gift close to his musical parents' hearts.
"Yep, a 3-year-old has his own electric guitar now," Westbrook laughed.
"I spruced up a Marshall amp and we got a custom strap made for him. He wouldn't take that strap off for days."
"It's been pure joy," Fairchild said.

Gordon Shumway was an alien from the planet Melmac. When his planet exploded, "Gordo" escaped and crash-landed in the garage of the Tanner family, who dubbed him Alf (Alien Life Form). This was the basis for the prime-time sitcom Alf, a surprise hit on NBC in the mid-80's. After one season, the network brought the furry orange star to Saturday morning in an all-new animated series.
The cartoon took place several years earlier?before Melmac's destruction?and featured Gordon, his friends, and his family in everyday situations (everyday for Melmac, that is). Gordo's family consisted of dad Bob, mother Flo, brother Curtis, and little sister Augie. Friends Sloop and Skip made frequent appearances, as did Gordo's girlfriend Rhonda. Paul Fusco, who voiced the alien for the sitcom, also lent his throaty tenor to the cartoon.
The animated Alf won legions of new fans by spoofing what most people considered normality? shopping, school, driving, etc. The writers were free to create outrageous scenarios and let the characters react as if everything were perfectly normal; it was another planet, after all. Within this framework, many episodes ended up being a parody of any number of pop-culture icons.
In 1988, Alf was expanded to a full hour, adding a segment entitled Alf Tales. These portions of the show featured Alf and his friends in familiar fairy tales or classic movies?everything from Sleeping Beauty to Batman?all peppered with the Shumway family wit.

'Patience Stone' tells trapped wife's tale
The Afghan film "The Patience Stone" is a "Waiting For Godot"-like tale set in a town at the front line of a non-specific Middle East war zone, where a desperate woman nurses her older, comatose husband.
He is a rebel (probably Taliban) fighter with a bullet in his head that he received not in battle but in a petty argument, leaving his much younger wife to care for him. With no money for drugs, she hangs an IV bag of water and salt on a wall and puts the drip tube in his mouth. His family has abandoned her and their two daughters. And, not knowing if he's alive or dead, she fretfully tends to him, as the war rages outside her door, and conducts a running monologue. »Read Full Article

'Birdman' wins Producers Guild's top trophy
LOS ANGELES (AP) - "Birdman" received a welcome lift on its flight to the Oscars after winning the Producers Guild of America's highest film award Saturday night at a ceremony in Los Angeles.
The win delivers needed momentum to Alejandro Inarritu's showbiz romp following its upset loss to "The Grand Budapest Hotel" in the Golden Globes' comedy category earlier this month. It's now neck and neck in the Oscar race with Richard Linklater's "Boyhood," which won in the Globes drama category. »Read Full Article

Experts examine bones as Spain hunts for Cervantes' remains
MADRID (AP) - Forensic experts began excavating graves and examining bones Saturday in a tiny chapel in Madrid, hoping to solve the centuries-old mystery of exactly where the great Spanish writer Miguel de Cervantes was laid to rest.
The author of "Don Quixote" was buried in 1616 at the Convent of the Barefoot Trinitarians in Madrid's historic Barrio de las Letras, or Literary Quarter, but the exact whereabouts of his grave within the convent chapel are unknown. »Read Full Article
Gordon gives titanic performance in Rep's 'Good People'
Midway through the second act of David Lindsay-Abaire's "Good People" — a funny, sad and truly great play now receiving an outstanding production from the Milwaukee Repertory Theater — fiftysomething Margie Walsh finds herself in a posh Boston suburb, listening to her high school sweetheart explain why he's a doctor in a fancy house while she's still struggling to make rent.
"I'm sorry that you made some bad choices in your life," Mike tells Margie, having already gone on about how hard he's worked to escape Southie, the hardscrabble area of Boston where Margie still lives with her disabled adult daughter — and from which she's made this improbable journey in the hope that Mike can find her work. »Read Full Article

Many people who might recognize Chef Robert Irvine from his appearances on Food Network television shows such as "Restaurant: Impossible," "Dinner: Impossible," "Worst Cooks in America" or "The Next Iron Chef," do not get a chance to see the chef up close.
That is the main reason that Irvine has decided to do a live show and have audience members interact with him on stage.
"You can see my shows or go to my restaurants, but you can't really get to see me," Irvine said.
"So this gives fans and audience members a chance to see me in person."
"Chef Robert Irvine — Live" will be presented on April 20 at the Rialto Square Theatre in Joliet.
"Chef Robert Irvine — Live" is a high-energy, multimedia theatrical experience.
The interactive show provides multiple opportunities for audience participation.
"It is not just a cooking show," Irvine said.
"The show has lots of ups and downs and, of course, there will be food."
In the show, multiple cameras are set up on stage to provide a close-up view of Irvine.
Music and video content combine seamlessly with the cooking to provide a multi-sensory experience. In each segment of the show, Irvine faces a new culinary test.
"We have a series of challenges," Irvine said.
"Audience members partake in that. There is always laughter. There are several cameras on stage and five screens showing what is happening. It is very visual."
A native of England, Irvine joined the British Royal Navy at the age of 15 and started to hone his culinary skills in the kitchen.
As part of his service for the Royal Navy, Irvine was selected to work on board the Royal Yacht Britannia.
During his career, he also had the opportunity to serve 6,000 servicemen and women on a U.S. aircraft carrier.
Irvine, who owns two restaurants in South Carolina and has authored two cookbooks, is probably best known as the host of "Restaurant: Impossible."
The show continues its successful run as one of Food Network's most popular shows and has just begin its sixth season.
On "Restaurant: Impossible," Irvine attempts to save America's most desperate restaurants from failure in just two days with only $10,000.
By updating the menu, retraining the staff and implementing aesthetic changes with the help of his design team, Irvine fights to rescue the restaurants and give hope to the owners and their employees.
Irvine is pleased that he is able to help other restaurant owners.
"We give a second hope to some of these restaurants," he said.
"We have done 71 restaurants, and 63 of them are doing amazing. So that's about 90 percent of our work being successful."
Although television shows and the touring for the live stage show keep Irvine busy, he does not seem to mind.
"I travel more than 340 days out of the year," he said. "But I enjoy what I do."

In its letter, Wal-Mart included examples of the labels the chain is requiring. Everything from the size of the label to the placement of information and the fonts and point sizes of type on the label are specified.
Treacy said the labels are identical to the industry standard for reusable plastic containers, which should make the requirement easier for suppliers.
"I was there when Loblaws, Safeway and Kroger developed the RPC label standards," Treacy said. "They had been 2-by-10 inches and were required on two sides. Now with the new size they are less awkward and expensive and only have to be on one side."
Treacy said his advice to Wal-Mart suppliers who are not yet using PTI-compliant labels is to start working on the transition "yesterday."
"If people think they can wait until October because the deadline is Nov. 1, they are going to be surprised," Treacy said. "It takes some time to get it right. Some suppliers are reporting it takes multiple tries to find a solution that works. It's taking most people three to six months."
Although the PTI-label requirement is only for Wal-Mart U.S. and Sam's Club, those in the Canadian fresh produce industry are watching the situation closely.
Jane Proctor, vice president for policy and issue management for the Canadian Produce Marketing Association, said current work in the Canadian government regarding food safety and traceability will likely lead to similar requirements for suppliers. She said the Wal-Mart announcement will encourage implementation north of the border.
"Implementation of traceability based on standards is crucial to assure (both) governments of the commitment industry has made to the safety of the food supply and ensure there are no trade disruptions as produce flows between our two countries," Proctor said.

As the 2011 Winter Meetings commence today at the Hilton Anatole in Dallas, Oakland A's beat writers Susan Slusser, Joe Stiglich and Jane Lee will scour the hotel lobby and vigorously work their cell phones in search of any noteworthy development on the free agent or trade front. In fact, I just spotted a contingent of my old Japanese media friends in the lobby, who are still riding herd on the Hideki Matsui story and where he might land in 2012, so add them to the list. In light of Billy Beane's recent comments about the club sitting in wait-and-see mode until Major League Baseball's Blue Ribbon Committee comes down with its ballpark recommendation – after nearly three years of study, we might add – expectations are rather low that we'll see much action this week in the Lone Star State. However, if you're part of the A's Faithful, I can offer you a few things to look for during the meetings.
Beyond the reports filed by our Bay Area reporters covering the event, you'll be treated to hours of live coverage by national TV networks and Comcast SportsNet Bay Area. Later today, Beane will appear on MLB Network's Hot Stove show at 3 p.m. PST, followed by segments on ESPN's Baseball Tonight at approximately 3:25 p.m. and on CSN Bay Area's Chronicle Live program at 7 p.m. In addition, skipper Bob Melvin joins MLB Network Radio on Sirius/FM with Mike Ferrin and former Mets' GM Steve Phillips at 3:30 p.m. Melvin also is scheduled to appear Tuesday on MLB Network's Hot Stove show at 2:45 p.m. PST and later on Comcast SportsNet Bay Area's Chronicle Live.
It should be interesting to see the reaction Billy gets this week, particularly in the hotel lobby where fans congregate. His already high profile has been elevated to near Rock Star status with the movie premiere of Moneyball. Being protrayed by Brad Pitt will tend to do that. While Billy has been very gracious with his media time, he tends to shy away from the bright lights in favor of spending time in the A's baseball suite during the Winter Meetings. He and Assistant GM David Forst, well aware of the team's unsettled outfield situation and need for some middle-of-the-order hitters, will no doubt be laying the groundwork for possible future deals. Beyond that, it's difficult to predict if anything of substance will materialize this week.
One area of interest here will be a couple of Hall of Fame announcements. By the time you read this blog, the Golden Era Committee might have revealed this year's inductee. Former A's owner Charlie Finley is one of those being considered. While he may not be the favorite this time around, there's no doubt he is worthy of the honor. Beyond assembling a team that won three straight World Series championships from 1972-74 and produced four Hall of Famers in Catfish Hunter, Rollie Fingers, Reggie Jackson and Dick Williams, Finley also impacted the history of the game through his innovative ideas. Among them were the designated hitter in the American League and night baseball in the World Series. Also, this Wednesday at 8 a.m. PST, the Hall of Fame will announce the 2012 Ford C. Frick winner, the broadcaster elected to Cooperstown. Of course, our beloved Bill King, who so eloquently described A's baseball for 25 years before his untimely death, is among the favorites. Let's cross our fingers and hope this is finally the Year of the King. If it's good news Wednesday, I would expect thousands of Bay Area sports fans to shout, in unison, that old familiar refrain made famous by Bill: "Holy Toledo!"
This is the first of a series of daily blogs I plan to write this week. I hope it brings you closer to the Winter Meetings here in Dallas. We appreciate you thinking about us during the offseason.

OK, but NUFACE is better - 8/18/2014 3:20:39 PM I bought both the Bio Bliss forehead as well as eye patches. I think they worked "ok," but nothing longstanding and nothing spectacular. Since I normally use Facial Smoothies, I can't say that this worked any better than those, even after 6 patches. The NUFACE also uses microcurrents, and after a week, I have already received tons of compliments. The results are quicker and much more noticeable. Because of the hefty price, I went with the NUFACE mini and love it!Wrinkle Dimmer - 12/27/2013 8:52:25 PM I like to use these pads before I go to a special event. If you leave them on for a while, over an hour or longer if possible, the effect is better and your wrinkles are quite a bit softened; and your skin's appearance is definitely enhanced.Great Results - 10/23/2013 1:27:44 PM What I loved most about this product was the ease of use--I did it while I cleaned my house. I have used other products that require more attention and it is hard to find the time to do them. These patches are super easy to use. This product worked really well on the wrinkles on my forehead and in between my eyes. I felt like the area looked brighter and smoother right away. Although I did see a decent instant result, I think with extended use the results will be even better. It took years for my wrinkles to form, so it will take some time to see significant improvement. But the results so far look great.I'm Surprised - 10/23/2013 10:36:32 AM I was skeptical at the first use of this patch on my forehead area (I have strong lines across my forehead) and I saw okay results with the first use. I used again a couple days later before an event I was attending and I was so surprised that the lines across my forehead were diminished and my skin was glowing. My husband even commented on my bright skin! I would invest in this product, but definitely use a couple of times for the results I've seen.Not worth the money - 10/11/2013 5:23:06 AM While this is easy to use, the results don't last more than a day. You can see results after you remove the pad, but does it completely eliminate fine lines - no. Even keeping up the normal regimen of collengen, elastin, etc. doesn't extend the results. Definately not worth the cost / patch.New Everyday Wear - 9/18/2013 10:23:06 AM $70 is a great price to pay for a face AND eye serum! It's lightweight, absorbs instantly, and keeps my skin smooth and comfortable. It's very easy to apply makeup afterward and no pilling! I love the refreshing hints of orange and citrus scent and use it day and night and immediately after my once a week BioBliss Eye Patch treatment.Impressed - 9/17/2013 4:05:40 PM I discovered BioBliss Anti-Wrinkle Eye Patches in August Vogue. These silver patches are loaded with hydrating hyaluronic acid and smoothing peptides that are delivered deeply into the skin with a really gentle micro-current from a tiny, sensation-free battery embedded in the patch. These patches are my new wrinkle reducing weapon! I am so impressed with the results! You can see an immediate eye area revitalization from re-hydration. The whole under eye area is smoother and I love the brighter skin tone! I've been using them for 3 weeks now, and see continuous improvement week over week with reduction in fine lines and crepiness. I wear the eye patches every Sunday during my favorite TV series to start the week looking my best! -

First, an admission (I feel like I'm starting my blog posts this way a lot, lately): when the whole Ryan Braun thing first broke, I read an article in which one of the paragraphs started, "Braun is appealing." I, of course, nodded. Braun is appealing. I agree.
Then I realized that, well, that wasn't really (at all) what they meant.
They didn't mean he was appealing, in that he has fantastic hair and all that. They meant that he was appealing the 50 game suspension he's going to face for allegedly using PEDs during the playoffs.
That was sort of an "oops" moment on my end.
Now, of course, the new reports are saying that not only is he appealing, but the substance detected in the test was a banned substance, but not a performance enhancing drug at all.
The mystery, the mystery.
My feelings on HGH and other performance enhancing drugs are pretty black and white: if you do it and are caught, you should face consequences (MLB seems to agree with me on that). But at the same time, I don't think that those who are caught shouldn't be endlessly brought out and picked on and humiliated for it by the media and us bloggers.
Because they could strip Brauny of his MVP and give it to Kemp, but you know what? Kemp could very well have done something, too. Not to be completely cynical, but many of them may have (probably did). I don't think we're anywhere near eliminating the issue.
Still, it does make me particularly sad about Braun. I hope some satisfactory explanation is given and we avoid the suspension deal, but at the same time, that may feel empty and cover-up like. At the point, I feel like it's basically a lose-lose.
Speaking of depressing posts.

You're sick of me? No, I'm sick of YOU!
CUBBIES September 16th, 2009
So you say that you are sick of me? Well, I am sick of you too! You say that you want this "stunt" to be over? Well, I want your stunt to be over!
Look dudes I got better things to do than sit around on my computer and clickity-clack on the keyboard about baseball all day. I could go out and, you know, SLEEP WITH WOMEN. I am not a nerd blogger like you guys living in your moms basement. I like to go out and drink and sleep with chicks and update my fantasy team. I like to drive my BMW with the top down listening to Soulja Boy as loud as it goes. I could be shopping at American Eagle right now instead of writing on this stupid blog. I could be drinking a dub rum d (double rum and diet to the uninitiated) at a strip club getting a lap dance right now. Instead I am writing on the internet about baseball? No thanks. Baseball is dumb anyways. I prefer football. Not only that, but I have the best fantasy team ever this year. Check out my roster. Read the rest of this entry »

I haven't seen the movie but have been told that it was pretty bad. However, I do like the game. My game club bought it for $5 during the holiday sale FFG had. But I was a little puzzled as to why they named it Beowulf: The Movie Board Game. The only thing that even remotely has to do with the movie seems to be the artwork. I guess I was expecting something more trivia like, based on the name of the game. Something like LOTR: Trivial Pursuit, which actually deals with stuff from the movie, and doesn't just have pretty artwork from the movie.

What is your first thought when you think of attractive churches? Is it the building, or is it the people?
This topic will cause some discomfort for many of you. The very thought of the presence of power groups seems contrary to the spirit and grace of the gospel. But power groups are very real in churches.
Perhaps our comfort level can increase a bit by calling the groups "influencers" rather than power groups. Choose your label. The fact of the matter is that most churches have a clearly known group that carries the most influence in the church. And it is not unusual for that group to have a clearly known leader.
