Jamaican Patties at Lloyd's Patty Plus
I grew up on Jamaican Patties during my adolescent years in Toronto. Everywhere I turned they were there, in the malls, food courts, convenience stores, and even in our high school cafeteria. Such a great eat for so cheap. In Toronto you can get them with Coco bread so it was like a Jamaican Patty Sandwich, so good. It's been so long since I've had it with Coco bread, but I found it at this amazing Caribbean restaurant in Vancouver called Calabash Bistro last year, so if you get a chance to get it between some fresh coco bread, DO IT!
My favourite has to be a spicy beef patty, so this is what I ordered right at Lloyd's Patty Plus, hot, fresh, flakey and just as good as they've always been growing up. Truly Lloyd's does it right, for some reason it was the first time I went to the location to get one, by the way it's in Short Pants Plaza (I love it when I can reference this plaza) just off of Memorial Drive and 28 St SE. At our office parties, one of the Realtors I work with brings in cocktail size one's from Lloyd's, tastes just as great as the normal size ones but very addictive.
Here's a picture of it…not a super appetizing pic but trust me it's amazing.

BOWLING GREEN, Ky.- Jacksonville State won team honors and WKU climbed the leaderboard to finish fifth as played concluded at the inaugural WKU/Kenny Perry Invitational at The Club at Olde Stone on Tuesday.
Following play on Tuesday, former Hilltoppers Kenny Perry presented the Jacksonville State squad with the trophy. The Gamecocks posted a final round score of 314, finishing two strokes ahead of Louisville. Akron's Charlie Bull earned top individual honors, finishing the event at nine-over par.
WKU sophomore Andy Gladden (Scottsburg, Ind.) posted his best career finish, ending the tournament in 15th place in just his third collegiate tournament. Sophomore Cameron Beal (Bowling Green, Ky.) posted his fourth top 20 finish in his last six events for the Hilltoppers, finishing in a tie for 19th overall.
WKU followed an outstanding round on Monday with the third-best round of the day on Tuesday. WKU shot 311, vaulting the Hilltoppers to a fifth place finish in the inaugural tournament in Bowling Green. On Monday, WKU posted the best team score of the day. It was the first time that WKU had achieved that feat in a round since March 13, 2010 when the Hilltoppers' score of 292 was the best team score of the day in the third round of the 2010 Kauai Collegiate Cup at Wailua Golf Course in Kauai, Hawaii. Edelen and Will Beard (Bowling Green, Ky.), two of WKU's participants in the round on Monday also registered recorded scores for the notable team score in 2010.
The finish was the second top five mark for the Hilltoppers in three tournaments this season.
Named in honor of former WKU Hilltopper Kenny Perry, the event marked the first home tournament for WKU Men's Golf in the Bowling Green area in recorded history.

Former Butler runner Scott Overall (Great Britain) rests after crossing the finish line of the athletics event men's marathon during the London 2012 Olympic Games on Sunday in London.
- Filed Under
LONDON -- Weeks, days and months from now, Scott Overall might forget he finished 61st in the marathon at the London Olympics. He won't forget how he felt running it.
An estimated half-million spectators, often several rows deep, lined the streets cheering runners from Great Britain and 67 other nations. The route passed landmarks such as Buckingham Palace, Big Ben, the Tower of London and St. Paul's Cathedral.
Temperatures in the 70s and humidity of 55 percent were unfitting for a marathon, resulting in 20 dropouts, including Americans Ryan Hall and Abdi Abdirahman. ...

STILLWATER — When a shot rang out in the hallway of Stillwater Junior High School, panic, screams and uncertainty followed.
School shooting leaves Stillwater stunned
Cade Poulos, 13, was dead. He pulled out a gun and shot himself in the head at 7:50 a.m. Wednesday in a crowded hallway, police said.
There was no suicide note, Stillwater police Capt. Randy Dickerson said. It remained unclear Wednesday night why the student took his own life.
As they recalled the events of the day, Poulos' peers struggled to make sense of the tragedy.
Joli Moffitt, 14, a ninth-grade student, was around the corner from Poulos when he shot himself. She was showing a piece of art to a teacher. That morning, some students were dressed like superheroes at the school, part of a week of events planned in honor of cancer awareness.
Moffitt heard a bang. She thought someone had slammed books on the ground.
"I heard that and then I go and look and I see his body on the floor," Moffitt said, sitting on the porch of her home in Stillwater.
"And I see a puddle of blood around him."
Chaos followed. A teacher screamed. Someone told her to run. Moffitt could only stand and stare at first, she said.
"I was just shocked at what I saw," she said. "My friend, lying dead in the hallway."
She at first thought someone else had killed Poulos, and that person might shoot at other students.
"I started running after I got myself back together," she said. "I started running because I was scared someone was in the school going to shoot at other people."
A school resource officer was in an adjacent hallway and heard the shot, Dickerson, said. The officer quickly found the student's body and locked down the school.
Students were ushered into classrooms for about 30 minutes. Teachers locked the doors and shut off the lights. Students inside were terrified, Moffitt said.
"I'm nervous, shaking. I cried a couple of times," she said.
A police officer let the students out of the rooms at the school. The news reached the students, by rumor and on Facebook, that Poulos had killed himself. A school administrator and the police department confirmed that news publicly about midmorning. The news conference was held outside the district's administrative offices in the college town of roughly 46,000 about 65 miles northeast of Oklahoma City.
Upon hearing the news, Moffitt felt relief and sadness all at once.
"I was glad it wasn't anybody shooting, just to shoot somebody, but was sad that he killed himself," Moffitt said.
From their classrooms, students were led to a gym and then onto buses that took them to the nearby Cimarron Plaza strip mall. An alert about the incident was sent via email and phone to all parents, said Ann Caine, superintendent of Stillwater Public Schools. Parents picked up students at the mall.

5 Simple Ways that Even You Can Support a New Mama Today!

Ayurveda Q&A with Dr. John Douillard: Pregnancy and Post-Partum Health
Don't drown in it.
Every little stage your baby goes through will feel like a riptide, like forever—I don't know why this happens.
Maybe because for your baby, that week of cluster feeding is forever. Maybe, because your baby is stuck to you like Velcro, and your nipples are chafed, and you're pretty sure you're never going to sleep again, you absorb his sense of time.
Maybe it's some hormone-fueled, survival of the fittest, DNA code to make sure you take your baby's needs seriously.
But pretty soon, your baby won't be cluster feeding. He will be teething. Refusing naps. Calling you poopy. You will hear yourself say things like, "Please take your penis out of the windowsill."
Take each stage seriously, but don't drown in it.
For awhile, your boobs will be out. All. The. Time. Your boobs will see more sunlight than you do. Warm, sticky milk will drip down your belly and you'll feel like the stump of an ice cream cone in July.
This too shall pass, but for awhile, you're going to feel like quite the centerfold.
From National Geographic.
Do what works.
Let your baby sleep in a swing or in your bed or his car seat, if that is where he will sleep. You are not a failure if you don't hand-mash organic baby purees. It is okay to make things easier for yourself. There are very few irreversible decisions regarding sleeping and eating patterns in these first months and years.
Your child will not head off to college still needing to sleep in a lamby swing. (They don't make them that big—I checked.) He will not be all droopy with malnutrition if he refuses to eat anything but bagels for a week. Or a month.
You are not alone.
Other mothers struggle, too. They flicker like candles, awake in the night in a thousand bedrooms, in the past, in the future, right now. They hunch over their babies, nursing. They are limp and worn, like wrung out washcloths.
Remember them when you are up in the night for the fifth time. When your baby won't stop crying; when you can't stop crying.
Take a time out.
Take time to yourself. Often. Beg, barter or pay someone to watch your child. Go to yoga. Go for a walk. Go to a movie. Your baby doesn't need you present but drained, a mom zombie. A mombie.
Your baby needs you to be okay. Your baby needs you to be you. Needing time to yourself does not mean you are trying to get away from your baby.
Okay, so you are totally trying to get away from your baby. That is okay. Find a way to do some of the things that keep you sane and happy. Your baby needs you sane and happy.
Ask for help.
Ask your partner for help. He/she does not mean to just sit there in a chair playing Mortal Kombat. They will eventually show more interest in the baby, when it can giggle and hug and play tackle football. But for now, they need you to tell them you need help.
When you do, don't tell them how to care for your child. Or tell them, but then let it go. He/she will probably watch Pulp Fiction with your baby. They will let your precious little one gnaw on pizza crusts like a junkyard dog. Your baby will be okay on both counts.
Then, leave the house.
If you don't, your partner will rise from their chair like Zeus. They will find you, and they will suggest that the baby needs milk. Even though you just nursed him.
Don't clean.
Your house will still be messy in five years. I am sorry, but it's true. So when your baby sleeps, take a nap. Read a book. Masturbate. Look at pictures of clean houses on Pinterest. Look at pictures of clean houses on Pinterest while you masturbate.
But don't clean.
Find your tribe.
Find other moms who admit that it's not all baby powder and bliss. Playdates were not invented to over-schedule and socialize your child. They exist so you can admit that you yelled, "For the love of God, will you just freaking sleep?" at your six-month-old this morning. That you plopped your son in front of Elmo for several hours yesterday afternoon when it rained and rained and rained and he wouldn't nap.
Be a hater.
And those moms who appear to have it all together? The size six supermoms who appear perky and well-rested? The ones who haul big designer diaper bags brimming with healthy snacks and water and sunscreen and extra outfits and hand sanitizer?
It is okay to wish them small misfortunes, like fecal incontinence or eye herpes.
You are on your way.
Listen: I know you feel like you're doing it all wrong; I know the stakes feel so high and all the other moms look like they know what they're doing.
Take a break from reading books and blogs about how you're supposed to be raising your child. Your baby is reasonably clean and growing.
See how he melts into your shoulder and falls asleep?
How when you actually go to the grocery store all by yourself, you find yourself standing in line gently swaying, as if he were still on your body?
And you smile at the mom with a baby about the same age in the next line and your milk lets down and you feel like Hey, I'm missing something, did I forget my keys?
And then you realize that what is missing is your baby.
You are doing just fine.

Thank you!
I looove this. And I'm a childless bachelor who never slows down enough to read about parenting…stuff. Thank you for this! ~ Waylon.
Oh, thank you Waylon! You just made my evening. : )
Thanks, Cris!

Thanks for commenting!
So true, so funny.
Glad you enjoyed.
I laughed, I cried, I shared this with my husband (especially about the leaving the house bit) I have a 4yo, 3yo, and a 3 week old and I 99% of the time, feel like an awful mother. There are days when my kids watch more tv than I ever thought I would allow. I nurse my baby (my first nursling) and am falling asleep the whole time. This post makes me feel normal. Thank you for it! I will be passing this along to other expectant mothers.
Oh, Amber, thank you! Hang in there. And yes, try to get some breaks! Be gentle with yourself.
Amber hang on in there lovely mumma (()) hugs to you! I bet any money that you are doing a fantastic job with your babies x x x
This is amazing and so spot on and real. I'm going to share it for sure because I know a lot of moms who need to hear this and remind themselves of all the things you just reminded me, so thank you!
Thank you Meg! Take good care.
A friend sent this to me bc I have a 21 month old and a 3 month old (boys) and I feel like I am drowning 99% of the time. I have a career, yet opting to be a stay-at-home-mom for now, and it is harder than any job. This was absolutely brilliant. And I never comment on things. Thank you
Hi Annmarie. Thank you so much for commenting, especially as a never-commenter! I think many of us are struggling to keep our heads above water, we just don't admit it all the time. Hang in there– you're not alone.
I loved this. My kids are now 30, 22, 18, and I have a grandson. I completely agree. Ah the size 6 super mom, ok to hate. Ok to look at clean houses on Pinterest. Yes. Nap often. They do grow up. They leave. They have sex. It's weird and beautiful, and it goes too fast. Jesse Loren
Love this comment! Thank you.
I'm reading this wishing I'd been able to read it 22 years ago! So encouraging…times have changed but the demands of having a new born are the same…I remember going back to work(teaching high school students) for a rest!!! Hang on in there ladies, I have the most beautiful daughter and at 16 she no longer wanted to creep in to bed with me…I actually miss that!
So glad you could relate! I was just thinking that this afternoon while resting with my almost-two-year-old– when she's a teenager, she's probably not going to let me snuggle her like this. Sweet moments.
You are a wonderful and beautiful person. This is incredible, real, and full of understanding! Thank you. My son is going to turn 8 in Jan and we will welcome our new addition in May. I forgot how hard it is. It's also nice to have some validation on how I chose to let the house go a lot more than I should because I'd rather cuddle with my 10 yr old and my 7 yr old on my day off in front of a movie than scrub my house (: take care and enjoy your babies
Oh, thank you Melissa! Congrats on the new baby. Yes, the house stuff will wait. Cuddles are priceless.
Brilliant, everything. I might add on the subject of Mommy friends and play dates: Moms love to talk about how great and gifted their children are. Try not to take these comments as diggs on your baby or you as a parent. I'ts not personal as they say.
Good point!
Read this during my daughters 1000th feed of the night on 7 hours sleep in 3 days. I have a 4yo, 2.5yo and a 3 month old. The work never ends right now. I try to remember, this too shall pass and then something else will suck just as hard. These years are trying but wonderful and I'll be damned happy when they're over.
Oh, Sarah, hang in there. I feel the same way a lot of the time. Adding to the frustration is the constant advice from moms of older children, saying, "Enjoy every single minute of it!" There is sweetness and there is also exhaustion…
For years I have claimed that the reason I'm overweight is because of all the words I've had to eat since becoming a mama. Since I was 32 before the first was born, I had built up lots of words to eat! "my child will not be babysat by tv' "my kids will not be fed sugar" "I will never leave my child with a child (young sitter)" and on and on and on. Was the perfect parent before I had kids. After I had them, I learned there are no perfect parents. This was very relate-able! Thanks!
Haha, I love it, Ellen! Same here. The gap between the mother I thought I would be and the mother I actually am is a wide one.
I just delivered my 3rd child and have been thinking of writing a post just like this. You've done it so much more eloquently than I ever could – I may just have to link this post to my blog, with your permission of course.
Wonderful post. Thank you!
Congrats on baby #3! Sure, you can add a link to this post on your blog. I will check it out!

Every last bit of this post is everything I needed to hear 19 years ago! <3 Especially the "Be A Hater" section! <3
Thanks! Take good care.
Where was this post 20 years ago?! Oh ya, we didn't have the internet then, we had the "what to expect" series of books that made you feel like everyone else was a super parent, made their own organic baby food, raised super kids that were destined for med school because of your spending every waking minute of the day teaching them, nurturing them and wrapping them in a protective bubble so that they didn't maim/poison themselves…nothing has changed, except that now thanks to the WWW, more sleepless, guilt ridden Moms can get comfort and grounding thanks to glorious posts like this! Well done! The funny thing is, in a blink of an eye, I am reading this post and wishing I could save it somehow so that my now 20 year old beautiful daughter who survived and thrived despite not quite following all the "rules" will be able to find this same comfort and advice when she needs it (in like 10 or 15 years hopefully, lol…) Thank you!
Thank you Karen! It's interesting, the infinite amount of information online actually makes it challenging sometimes for me, because there is soooo much varying advice. But you're right, the upside is being able to connect with other likeminded moms who we never would've met otherwise. Thanks for your comment!
Where was this advise fifty yrs ago. Brilliant
Thanks Bonnie!
thank you… I felt guilty the other day for say, "For the love of God, will you just freaking sleep?" at your six-month-old this morning" other day …. thank you for putting the real back into being a mother of a baby and real expectations of yourself.
Thanks Laura! I never would've thought so much of my parental energy would be focused on getting little people to sleep (and to stay asleep)!
I think most of this article was great, but really "Be a hater" isn't so hot. Mothers have enough going against us all without us wishing our own hate upon each other, like women who give their own girls clitoral circumsisions. And we all know very well that all the apparently well put together moms have their own issues too, perhaps like gaining enough weight after breastfeeding a toddler so we don't send ourselves to the hospital next time we're sick and lose weight we can't afford too. We mothers must stand up together, and support each other in this harsh world, and stop calling each other out when we are needed as support.
Erica, I totally agree with you. In retrospect, I wish I'd reframed that section to be more reflective, at the least. Thank you for your honest response.
agreed. i was loving the post (and wanted to forward it to my friends), until i saw that disturbingly negative advice. it soured an otherwise motivational and empowering message. thank you erica, you are completely correct. everyone of us has our own cross to bear. and, just because we can't see those crosses (that others carry) doesn't mean that they don't exist or that they are any less weighty than our own cross. thank you and bravo to lynnola for commenting and acknowledging.
Thanks Charlie. And I absolutely agree; we all have our issues and we need to stick together instead of judging and making assumptions.
These replies are from skinny moms. Lighten up. I gained 70 lbs with each pregnancy. Men don't make eye contact with you any more when you hold the door open to walk into the gas station. Everyone of my kids birthdays I say this is the year I will lose my baby weight. Being overweight sucks and has never been so hard to lose so seeing a happy skinny mom is frustrating. My husband laughs bc I would say skinny bitch when I would see them. It's is a very hard thing to go from hot and fit to mommified not knowing if you will ever get rid of the chicken wings or belly flap. Knowing that saving for kids college is way more important than a tummy tuck even though I go online to price shop them every so often. So have some empathy and feel lucky you are not overweight. We all have issues seen or unseen.
Yes, but wishing fecal incontinence and eye herpes on someone because they are not visibly struggling is tasteless, over the over the top and cruel. Weight is only part of it. This is about wishing misfortune and passing judgement on people who don't meet your requirements for 'struggle.'
I agree. People need to lighten up. Lynn was joking with the fecal incontinence. Sometimes, we just have to be negative. I too envy the skinny moms.
negativity will never make you feel better, it only serves to hurt someone else. she may have been joking but this kind of hatred is quickly seeping into our culture and we cannot just continue to laugh it off. I like a joke as well as the next person but does it always have to be at someone else's expense? we need to be more mindful of the things we say and the way we treat other people. we teach our children everyday to be kind and not say mean and hurtful things….how can we expect it of them if this is the way we react to each other?
why is it because a woman is "skinny" and you are not thatthere is an issue? just because you gained weight and haven't lost it yet it makes her a villain? i have packed on serious pounds with all 7 of my pregnancies and have never sent out hate vibes to women who have not or have had a bit of an easier time losing it than i did. plus i have a daughter that has a hard time gaining weight, and she does NOT have an eating disorder, to assume that she is a "skinny bitch" is just nasty. how does that help you? do you feel better after calling names and thinking nasty thoughts about other moms because they maybe can pack a diaper bag and aren't 50 lbs over weight? after 7 kids i am pretty damn good at packing a diaper bag and seeming to have my shit together and yet i have delt with all sorts of PPD and anxiety. and i have lost the "baby weight" when some of my kids were still babies. so am i the nasty evil mom who has my stuff together who will have fecal incontance wished upon me because after 20 years of mothering i can get my shit together occasionally?
I'm so glad you pointed this out, Erica! I felt the same way I also appreciate, Lynn, that you acknowledged it could have been worded differently! We all have the right to change our minds and that's what matters. I just wrote my reflections on the article on my blog: http://mommemusings.wordpress.com/2013/10/03/one-…. I see you're a mom here in Portland, Lynn…me, too!!
Love, love, love, love this. I can relate to all of it. This is perfection.
Thank you so much for your comment.
Beautiful and charming, thank you
Thank you babybird!
I love this advice. I love all of it. Especially the bit: Don't Clean!
Haha, thanks Melissa!
Absolutely adore this, my shining stars of diaper-ville and royalty of formula vomit are 14,12 and 7.. And I still rock my little bag of potatoes in a store. i still worry about the house and their clothes and what they eat and watch..and I keep forgetting that this all passes and that it's okay..to shut my door and scream non-sensible words into a pillow when things don't go as wonderful, or as magical as I thought it all would be..so even without a baby..thanks
i love this!!!! as a mama of 3 and 1 on the way very very soon as in days this is all very true!!! exactly what I would tell first time moms or any mom for that matter. well written <3
Wow, congrats Chris! Thanks for your kind comment, and best of luck with your birth!
Wow you had me up until 'be a hater'. I get that it was meant to be a bit satirical, but that part really made me sad. I often appear to have it all together, I seem perky because I'm out having fun with my daughters, I might even be well-rested. I also battled intestinal problems for years, had my colon removed when my first daughter was just 18months old, had an ostomy bag for a few months, had a second surgery to form what is called a j-pouch with my small intestine. I've had a lot of health struggles, but no I guess you wouldn't know that by just looking at me. Sooo, if you ever really wished 'fecal incontinence' upon me for appearing to have it together, than congratulations, you succeeded! Perhaps we as mothers, and as people, could try to understand that even when someone appears to have it all together they may have different struggles than us, ones that we don't see. Heck maybe they do have it all together, which is awesome. Maybe we could learn something from that mother. We're all just trying to be the best mamas that we can, and shouldn't be hated or judged for it.
Hi Melissa. I'm so sorry that hit home for you. I replied to another commenter above that I wish I hadn't kept that section about 'be a hater' in, or that I at least wish I had reframed it to be more reflective. I completely agree that we need more support and that the judging comes from insecurity, which I am rife with. Thank you for your comment, and I'm very sorry for your health issues.
Well you can't write anything more precise than this! Wow you basically wrote everything I've just gone through in the past nine months with my sweet little girl. It's a great reminder to just love them and love you. This came at the perfect time (teething!) so thank you for making me laugh and making me cry. I needed both.
Oh, thanks Alex! Hang in there. The teething sucks!
This almost makes me okay with bearing children, haha. Thank you for some delightful, real, soul sustaining insight. Best of the best love to you.
Aw, thank you Katrina! Love right back to you.
I read this while my almost 6 month old napped on me. This is wonderful, even the be a hater bit. I found it funny. My other new mom friends hate on me (I lost all my baby weight very easily) and I hate on them ( baby sleeps through the night, in the crib no less!) We all compare (it's in our nature) and its good to make it funny and have a good laugh. We all need it! Signed – first time momzie
Thanks, first time momzie! Glad you are able to keep your sense of humor! So important.
I have a 5, 3, and 2 yr old and a 5 month old. This last time around is the only one I have really enjoyed. It's the only one I really remember! I am one of those moms who walk out of the hospital in my prepregnancy clothes, have diaper bags fully organized with toys, clothes and snacks. My kids rarely fuss in public. Why? Because my abusive stbx husband wouldn't stand for it. Sometimes those apparently perfect moms live private hells.
Life is better now. I cosleep so I can sleep. I nurse for cuddles. I let my kids be kids. And I enjoy my mommy time as much as I can…and still look forward to bedtime at the end of the day.
Hi Sarah, glad you and your kids are safe now, and that life is better. Sending well wishes your way.
I needed to read this. I feel like this post found me in the abyss that is social media. Where do you live? Can we be mom friends?????
Haha! I'm in Maine. Take good care!
EXACTLY!!! my kids are grown and I have 3 grandbabies and 2 more on the way. I tell the girls (daughter and daughter-in-law) all those things. It is perfectly normal to have all those feelings. I yelled at my kids when they were babies at times out of sheer exhaustion .. then cried because I did that. Many times I wanted to just run away for 10 min and so something for ME. Being a new mommy is the hardest and most rewarding job a female can have. I tell my girls to forget about reading the parenting books (far as I can see I think they are written by people who don't have kids) and to just trust their mommy instincts … they will be right. My other piece of advise would be that NO housework of ANY kind after 8pm. That is your time. Even if you chose to just sit and watch TV or have a bath or take a pee in peace. Anything that needs to be done will still be there the next day …. don't stress over how your house looks or how you look.Enjoy the infant time as much as you can because it is gone before you know it. If there are any new grandmas out there … remind your daughters and daughter-in-laws any time they feel like it is wrong to want to drop kick their little sweet one across a football field that it is totally normal. Tell them your horror stories about how you felt when they were little (we all have those stories) Remind them to .. that someday they will be laughing about it and will be anxiously waiting to tell their stories. It is all NORMAL!!
Thanks Cheryl! Your kids are lucky to have an understanding, affirming mom! I LOVE your no housework after 8PM rule. I am usually too tired to do housework after 8 anyways, but I love the rule!
Thank you, April!
This is by far the most awesome and realistic tips i have read that made me feel good about being a new mom. So sincere and true. Keep it up!
Aww, thanks Claire! My best to you and your baby!
what i had wish i'd known. was that my sexuality would be totally transformed. not in a birth canal sense. in the sensations of my hormones and my self awareness. i nurture all day, at night if there is time and space, i wholeheartedly refuse to nurture my partner, it's just not going to happen at this point in my life. i give and give and give, i love the new me that expects and demands nurturing in return. mothering has helped me discover a self centered view, as a part of my everyday selflessness. my message to others is to honour post partum and let it change you, because there is insight to be gained.
I think a lot of women feel that way, Lana. That's an interesting take on it!
I felt the same way. I had ppd with no. 2. My kids are 4 and 6. But watching my husband mature into a loving father while we tackle raising our kiddos as a team has taken my marriage to a different universe. I used to think I wanted to smother him with a pillow while he snored and couldn't hear the kids cry. But sharing those memories has created a bond with him that I am so blessed to have. We want to press rewind to hold our babies again because it all goes by too fast yet it feels slow at the time. And the fact that he loves my body no matter what has helped me ease back into things even when I am too tired to participate. Lol. It gets better.
omg my boys are 15 and 13 and this made me cry. All of it is absolute truth.
Thank you, knuck1es!
Yes, yes, yes to everything but the last bit. No need to tear down other women to make yourself feel good.
I agree, Alicia! Thanks for your comment.
This is just fabulous! My only little one is now three, on his way to four, and I miss the baby days (I'm told this is called "Momnesia"), but I am guilty of the swaying with no baby, and using my diaper bag as a purse. Thanks for putting everything into perspective.
I love the term Momnesia! I hadn't heard that one before. Thanks for your comments!
Excellent blog post, thank you! It had me laughing at myself and a little teary towards the end! It makes me feel better that mums everywhere are going through the same thing I am! The only thing missing is all the things you swore to do when on maternity leave , such as blog regularly, write that book that you know is just waiting within you, learn to sew… All of which never get touched due to being frazzled and sleep deprived!
Thanks Aurora! Good point about the maternity leave. I stayed home with my kids for the first few years, so I didn't have that experience, but I've heard it from other moms!
You've pretty much nailed every point here. I was pretty much walking around the house topless the first few months. I was surprised at how 'un-shy' I was. I whipped out my breast as soon as baby needed feeding, even when there were other people around.
Isn't it funny how modesty just flies out the window? Thanks for your comment.
Hi Erica! I really think the "be a hater" was only put in for comedic purposes. Remember not to take some things too seriously! Take care!
This is possibly the best thing I ever read. I have a 8wk old and 2yr old and some days I feel like I'm doing a good job and have it all together, but other days I feel like a trainwreck. Thank you for this reminder, that we are all in this together and not to take ourselves too seriously.
Thanks Nic! I feel the same way!
I saw this on Facebook and as a first time ever mom-to-be in four months, I am bookmarking this to read often after my little one arrives. I have a feeling your words will be my saving grace for years to come. Thank you!!
Thanks Amanda! Best wishes with your impending arrival!
Totally spot on, heartfelt and real. I love this kind of honesty! I'm mother to a nearly-6-year-old boy and I so needed to hear this kind of thing when I was in the midst of it. This is just beautiful: 'They flicker like candles, awake in the night in a thousand bedrooms, in the past, in the future, right now. They hunch over their babies, nursing. They are limp and worn, like wrung out washcloths.' I write about motherhood and I hope to be able to touch people as much as this article has. Thank you
Thanks you! Glad you liked it.
Thank u!!! I feel so overwhelmed sometimes and this just came to me at the right time!! I feel so much better!! Thank you, thank you!!
Aw, so glad it came at the right time! Take good care.
Awesome article. I'll be pinning this one for future use once my baby arrives in a few months time. I have a feeling I'm going to need to read this from time to time and remind myself I'm doing a good job.
Thanks Lis! Best of luck with the new bebe.
Brilliant read!!!! I laughed so hard it's all true . Now excuse me while I go masturbate to clean houses on Pinterest !!!! Lmaoooooo
Haha! Have fun, Natalie!
this seems nice and expresses some helpful sentiments for new mothers, but i (a baby-less young male, but a thoughtful and responsible one) am a bit offended by this paragraph:
My very wise mother (I miss her dearly!) had 9 children. She used to say that someone should check on all mothers at ten in the morning to make sure they were doing alright. She was the best ! My two children are now 41 and 33. As babies they were non-stop nursers and did not sleep through the night for ages. Thank heaven for La Leche League and other moms to talk to. Sometimes before I go to sleep at night, I am so happy that I don't have to get up with a baby. However, I do miss those days of childrearing. They went by in a flash!
That's what I hear everyone says– that it goes by so fast. The irony is when you're in the midst of it, it drips by.
WOW, I ended up here because my daughter has just had a baby, and i guess this article hit a cord with her. Its amazing how you managed to impart so many well aimed parenting tips and made it funny all at the same time.
Its not often these days that people are told its O.K to feel like shit, be unkempt and zombie like in public. Its almost surreal in its simplicity.
I'm a Dad, not a mom but regardless of that gender difference, I really enjoyed the "MOM" perspective and wished that someone had read this article to me 30 years ago when my daughter was just 3 months old. It resonates because its true, every damn word. congratulations for being so wise, and wiling to admit your imperfections.
Thank you Kevin! Your words were so kind. Congrats on the grandbaby!

Berlin Germany
Berlin is the capital of Germany and also its largest city with a population of about 3.5 million people. It is the seat of German government and was often in the middle of German history. As a matter-of-fact in the 20th century no other town had such an impact on the European destiny than Berlin.
In the Middle Ages, Berlin was a centre of trade. At the end of the 17th century, it had about 20.000 habitants. During the 18th century the town of Berlin was appointed to the Residential City of Germany under the command of King Frederick I., also known as Frederick the Great.
The town became a centre of building activities and representative buildings like the Armory, the Palace of the Crown Prince, the Opera Palace, the Staatsoper Opera House, the Prince Heinrich Palace, St. Hedwig's Cathedral and the Old Library were built.
In recent history, many events of vital importance for the whole world took place in Germany's capital. One of the worst was the Reichstag fire and the associated political takeover of the National Socialists in 1933. The Reichstag fire was interpreted by the authorities as a communist riot despite shaky evidence. It soon led to a suspension of civil rights and therefore the National Socialists could prosecute their political opponents on legal basis.
But Berlin is also a symbol for the downfall of Nazi Germany in 1945. The Battle of Berlin from April 16 until May 2 was the final battle of World War II. The Germans lost their capital to the red army and Hitler shot himself in the Fuehrer's bunker.
During the post war era, Berlin was divided by the communists and again the town was in the middle of political interests. Legendary are the great speeches by the American presidents John F. Kennedy ("Ich bin ein Berliner") and Ronald Reagan ("Come here to this gate. Mr. Gorbachev, open this gate. Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall"). Finally, the wall came down in 1989 and hundreds of thousands Germans celebrated their newly acquired unity.
Today, Berlin is a fast-paced megacity that is worth a visit anytime. Head of state, historical monuments and a great cultural scene attract many Germany visitors. When you plan your Germany vacation, a stop in Berlin should definitely be on your list.
Sightseeing in Berlin Germany
Brandenburg Gate
Berlin's most famous landmark and has a proud history of over 200 years. Once the symbol for the separation of East and West Berlin, the Brandenburg Gate is today the symbol for German Unity.
The Brandenburg Gate was built between 1788 – 1791 by Carl Gotthard Langhans. The construction was assigned by King Frederick William II and should preserve the memory of King Frederick II who died in 1786. The classical building is made of sandstone and reminds of the Acropolis of Athens.
In 1793 the Quadriga was set on the Brandenburg Gate. In the course of time the famous sculpture was taken down three times. After the defeat of Prussia by the French In 1806, Napoleon took the Quadriga away to Paris. Eight years later the Allied Forces could retrieve the Quadriga and it was brought back to Berlin.
During the 2nd World War the Brandenburg Gate was heavily damaged by aircraft bombs. The Quadriga on top was damaged so badly it couldn't be repaired after the war was over, so it had to be replaced by a copy in 1956.
In the following 43 years, the Brandenburg Gate was the symbol for the separation of East and West Berlin because it was a border crossing point and only soldiers were allowed to stay in this area. On the 22nd December 1989 the Brandenburg Gate became the symbol for German Unity. The border from East to West Berlin was opened and over 100.000 people celebrated in front of the monument.
Due to environmental damage, the Brandenburg Gate and the Quadriga had to be refurbished in the year 2000. Two years later, on the 3rd October 2002, the building was inaugurated to the public again. Since then, it has been a tourist magnet for Germany visitors from all over the world.
Berlin Holocaust Memorial
The decision to build a Holocaust Memorial in Germany was made by the German Bundestag in 1999. The building is a memorial to the murdered Jews of Europe. It is situated in close proximity to the Brandenburg Gate and was inaugurated on May 10, 2005. In the first 12 months it was already visited by over 3.5 million people.
Already in the late eighties there were claims of a memorial for the murdered Jews of Europe, but the discussion about the right place and design lasted almost ten years. Finally, the design by Peter Eisenman was accepted. Eisenman is a famous architect from New York and a member of the so called New York Five, a group of outstanding architects.
The memorial consists of a field of grey 2,711 stelaes on almost 19,000 square meters. The stelaes remind of Jewish cemetery gravestones while the grey color stands for the ash of the people who were burned in the concentration camps during the reign of the National Socialists.
There is also an underground Information Centre that is maintained by a Federal Foundation. The function of the information centre is to provide information about the prosecution of Jews during the Third Reich. You will also find concrete facts about the victims like names, personal and biographical details there.
Berlin Reichstag
The German Reichstag building is one of the most viewed sights in Berlin. It is the seat of the German government. When the government moved from Bonn to Berlin, it decided to rebuild the Reichstag. It was destroyed during World War II and already rebuilt during the 1960ies, but the requirements were different this time. The British architect Sir Norman Foster accomplished the design of a futuristic building without losing its monumental look. Most impressive is the giant glass dome, shooting out of the building.
Don't miss to visit the Reichstag roof terrace on top of the building. From there, you can either enjoy the great view on Berlin or watch the flurry of activity inside the glass dome. Since 1994 over 16 million visitors have been counted.
History of the Berlin Reichstag
With the proclamation of the German Empire in 1871, Berlin became the capital and the newly-created parliament was in need for a seat of government. Between 1884 and 1894, the Reichstag was built after the plans of German architect Paul Wallot.
The result was a monumental building that is really representative for a seat of government. The building expresses elements of Classicism as well as elements of Renaissance and Baroque.
The Reichstag symbolizes significant turning points in German history. On November 9, social democrat Phillipp Scheidemann proclaimed here the Weimar Republic.
In 1933 the Reichstag fire smoothed the way for the political takeover of Adolf Hitler. And in 1945 the set up of the red flag by two Soviet soldiers became a symbol for the downfall of the 3rd Reich.
Berlin Victory Column
Right in the middle of Berlin Tiergarten is a famous monument of Berlin – the Victory Column. In 1873 the Victory Column was build in front of the German Reichstag to remind of the Prussian campaigns against Denmark, Austria and France. During the 19th century, the Kingdom of Prussia was a powerful and independent state of Germany. Prussia had a strong military cloud and the people of Prussia were very proud of their military success.
Due to plans of architect Alfred Speer, the Victory Column was moved to Berlin Tiergarten during the Nazi-era. Speer was ordered to rebuild Berlin to the so called "World Capital Germania". Only few of Speers plans have been realized before the end of WW2 ended also the vision of Germania – The movement of the Victory Column was one of the realized plans.
The Victory Column itself is about 226 feet high. Visitors can take 285 steps upstairs to reach the observation platform on top of the monument. There is no elevator but your effort will be rewarded with a great view on Berlin Tiergarten.
There are different conquered artilleries from 19th century battles embedded into the bottom of the column. On top of the monument is a figure of the Roman goddess of victory.
Checkpoint Charlie
During the Cold War, Berlin was in the middle of the international conflict. The town was divided by the Berlin Wall into West and East Berlin. The eastern part was administered by the Russian communists while the western part was under supervision of the Allied Forces. In 1961, the communists built the Berlin Wall to keep the citizens of East Berlin from escaping to the west.
During these times, Checkpoint Charlie was the only gateway for anyone who had to travel from one part of Berlin to the other part. Of course, this was not possible for anyone. Only diplomats and other authorities were able to cross the border. This was a real dilemma for the Berlin people. Many could not visit their loved ones simply because they lived in another part of the town as the Berlin Wall could not be crossed. About 100 people tried to cross the wall and escape to the west, but all of them have been killed by border guards.
To get an image of these times for Berlin, Checkpoint Charlie not only consists of a reconstructed US army guardhouse, it also hosts the Berlin Wall Museum. Here you can see film of reckless escapes from East Berlin as well as stories of horrible deliquency in Berlin during Cold War times among other things related to Checkpoint Charlie.
Berlin Events
Berlin Marathon
Every year at the last weekend of September the city of Berlin turns into a big running track. The Berlin Marathon is one of the most important events for runners besides the events in New York, Chicago and London.
It was first organized in 1964 with only 700 participants. Today, the marathon attracts ten thousands of runners from all over the world. Besides a large number of recreational athletes, the Berlin marathon is also popular with celebrities from tv and show business running for good causes. Start and finish is the splendid Brandenburg Gate in the middle of Berlin.
In 2008 running idol Haile Gebrselassie from Ethiopia set up a new marathon world record in Berlin by running the track in 2:03:59 hours. Overall, about 40,000 runners started of whom 32,000 made it to the finish line.
Since 1997, there is simultaneously a challenge for inline-skaters – the Berlin Skater Marathon. It is the biggest marathon for inline skaters worldwide with a distance of 42 kilometers (ca. 26 miles) and since 2004 it is the main event of the World-Inline Cup. The men's record for the track is held by the US-American Joey Mantia with 1:00:33 hours. The best woman ever on this marathon is Angèle Vaudan from Fance with a time of 1:08:29 hours
Berlinale Film Festival
The international film festival "Berlinale" is held every year in February since 1951. It is one of the leading film festivals showing over 400 films on 10 days. Top nobs of the worldwide film industry make the festival a highlight. But it is not an event for the VIPs only – Tickets for the films can be purchased by anyone. The ticket sale starts three days before the festival begins. The program is usually available one week before the start.
The films can be awarded with Golden and Silver Bears for Best Motion Picture, Best Director, Lifetime Achievement and other categories by an international jury. To receive a nomination, the films have to be produced during the last 12 months. Also, they may not be shown outside their country of origin.
Some popular films awarded with the Golden Bear are Cinderella (1951), Rain Man (1989), The People vs. Larry Flynt (1995) and Bloody Sunday (2002). In 2010, the Berlinale celebrated its 60th anniversary and the story of success will surely go on.

What to Do on Your Lunch Break
Ahh, the lunch break.
Ahh, the lunch break.
An anniversary is a great excuse to show appreciation for your significant other.
Many of us know less about wine than we would like.
Whether you and your date have only just met or have been married for years, knowing how to plan the perfect date is what will bring that spark to your relationship.
People embark on gluten-free diets for a number of reasons.
Recently, a movement has emerged calling for people to buy more locally grown food.
You may be familiar with the term "grass fed beef", but may have never considered its implications.
When we arrive in the world, the only sustenance we know is milk… and eventually some mashed up fruits and vegetables.
The terms "flatbread" and "flatbread pizza" appear on many restaurant menus these days, but many people still haven't completely figured out difference between the two.
The 1960s in America were a time of great innovation and change, but there was one historical event that we feel doesn't get enough recognition:

Telling the Story:
This story is in rough draft.
Needed: Lion puppet
Kids, I almost forgot. I have a friend that I brought with me today. He wants to meet all of you! Let me go get him.
Kids, say hellos to Leon. "Hello!" Leon, welcome to Little Mo's place. We are so happy that you are here with us.
We have talked a lot about animals tonight. We sang about butterflies, robins, elephants, and other animals that thank God for making them special. Raise your hand and tell me what kind of animal Leon is. (Lion) In our song, the butterfly thanked God for making his wings. The robin thanked God the he could sing. What do you think a Leon would thank God for? (Roar)
Leon, can you show the children how you can roar, please? (no sound) Leon, what's wrong? Do you want to try again? (no sound)
Oh, Leon. I am so sorry. You have lost your roar. But you are not alone. I know of some lions in the Bible who lost their roar. They wanted to be really mean to a man but they couldn't.
Let's turn in our Bibles to the book of Daniel, chapter 6. (Do you know that your parents in big church are reading this exact same story in big church right now? Yes, Mr. Mark is teaching your parents about the story of Daniel too! Be sure to ask your parents what they learned tonight at church.)
In this part of the Bible, Daniel was an old man. He was around 80 years old. King Darius liked Daniel because he was good and wise. This made the others King's men very jealous and they made a plan to hurt Daniel. They told King Darius, "We think everyone should treat you as a god.
And if anyone doesn't, they should be thrown in the den of lions."
Leon, do you live in a den of lions? That sounds like a really scary place! Daniel heard about the new law. But even though he would probably be thrown into a den of lions, he knew that God told us that we are only to pray to God. So, each day, just had he had done before, Daniel went home, opened his windows, and gave thanks to God. Not just once, but three times.
Let's fold our hands, close our eyes and say, "Thank you God" – three times.
The king's men saw Daniel thanking God and they went and told the king that they had seen Daniel worshipping God instead of the king."
This made the King very mad. Not because Daniel was worshipping God but because King Darius liked Daniel and he had been tricked into throwing Daniel into the lions' den. But because he made it a law, it had to be done. The Bible says that as Daniel was being arrested, King Darius told him, "May your God, whom you serve so faithfully, rescue you." And Daniel was sent to the den full of hungry lions.
Before you came to worship tonight, my friend Leon told me that his lion friends were really happy to see Daniel come into the den. They were hungry! But when the lions opened their mouths, they couldn't. No roar came out. God had sent his angel to shut the lions' mouths. The lions could not hurt Daniel. Let's pretend to zip our mouths shut just like the lions. With our mouths zipped shut, let's roar with Leon.
While Daniel was with the lions, King Darius didn't sleep at all. He was too nervous thinking about his friend Daniel. In Daniel 6:19-23 the Bible says: Very early the next morning, the king got up and hurried out to the lions' den. When he got there, he called out in anguish (this is a fancy word for pain or grief) and said, "Daniel, servant of the living God! Was your God, whom you serve so faithfully, able to rescue you from the lions?" Daniel answered, "My God sent his angel to shut the lions' mouths so that they would not hurt me. The king was overjoyed and ordered that Daniel be lifted from the lions' den. And when Daniel came out of the den there was not a scratch on him, because Daniel trusted God.
Little Mo's, God is a big God. He is bigger than a den full of lions. He is stronger than a lion's roar. God is mightier than any king. There is nothing our God can not do.
Leon, thank you so much for helping me tell this Bible story. I love stories in the Bible of people trusted God and were courageous. The book of Daniel has several stories of courageous people in it. Two weeks ago, I told the story of three men who were placed in a furnace of fire. What where their names? (Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego.) Last week you learned how the King wanted Daniel and his friends to eat food that was bad for them. They had courage to say no. Tonight we saw how Daniel had courage to pray to God even though he was going to be thrown into a lions' den.
How did they men get courage? The Bible tells us they had courage because they, Loved God with their heart, their mind, their soul and their strength. And in Mark 12:30, is says we can too. Let's work on our memory verse.

Very clean! Staff was very pleasant and overall the accommodations were new and felts very nice.
The room was a little small, but for a single person it was plenty large enough.
good breakfast and location
tiny room
Located right in the old town of Zurich, it is close to all the best walking areas. The front desk was very friendly and helpful with suggestions and dinner reservations. Rooms are clean and nice.

NCS Guidelines for Sportsmanship and Conduct
NCS takes the behavior of its members in sanctioned squash events seriously. The Association expects members to abide by the following guidelines:
Read and follow the NCS League Rules and the Rules of Singles Squash 2014.
Wear US SQUASH-approved eye protection gear over the eyes at all times when on court, including during the warm-up. Playing without eye protection is not permitted. Players who play in NCS sanctioned matches without proper eye protection will forfeit their matches.
Obey the rules and policies of host venues. Treat their employees courteously and with respect.
Register and be ready to play scheduled matches on time. Venues are listed in the "Clubs and Squash Courts" link "Where to Play" in the toolbar of this website. When traveling to matches, allow extra time for delays in traffic.
Rescheduling league matches to later dates for personal reasons is not permitted. NCS League Rules require matches to be played on the scheduled dates. Division Coordinators may reschedule a League match at the request of the team Captains if weather or host venue conditions make it impossible or unsafe to play the match as scheduled. Postponed matches should be played before the next match date on the League calendar so as not to unduly lengthen the season and force the postponement of end-of-season championship playoff rounds and other NCS activities.
Do not default a match unless you are injured or you believe that playing would be hazardous to your health or unsafe. A match in a sanctioned event involves the planning and effort of volunteer Captains, Division Coordinators and the employees of venues who donate valuable peak period court time that is normally reserved for club members. Late withdrawals and no-shows for reasons other than injuries and medical emergencies reflect poorly on our League and negatively impact players and organizers.
In tournaments, play all main round, consolation, play-off and round robin events for which you qualify. It is recommended that you do not enter a tournament with multiple weekend matches if you have commitments that could conflict with your match times.
Win and lose gracefully. Maintain composure before, during and after each match. Be courteous on and off court to opponents and referees. Referee matches as directed by tournament staff.
Ensure that all League matches are refereed. Offer to officiate if you have time and no one else has stepped forward.
Coach others and accept coaching only between games.
Accept Referee's decisions with grace. "Dissent to Referee" is a Violation of Rule 17 (Conduct).
At the conclusion of your match, shake hands with your opponent and thank the Referee.
NOTE: Abuse of players/spectators/referees/equipment/court/ball; offensive or crude language/gestures; and time-wasting are violations of Rule 17 (Conduct). Referees are empowered to control player behavior and apply the penalties in the Rule (Conduct Warning, Conduct Stroke, Conduct Game and Conduct Match).
NCS has a Disciplinary Committee and a Code of Conduct Report (CCR) for addressing serious violations. The Report may be downloaded here. The Committee reviews CCRs and it may apply penalties to players which range from Probation to Revocation of membership in NCS. The Committee follows procedures to ensure fair and balanced treatment of parties involved in incidents of conduct violation.
An official copy of the League rules may be downloaded here.
Official Rules
National Capital Squash (NCS)
League Play
a. NCS will sponsor team competition (four players per team in the winter and three players per team in the summer) for six levels:
1. NCS Open
Eligibility: Unrestricted, for players at the highest skill levels. Players with a US SQUASH skill rating over 5.4 at the beginning of the season shall only play ladder position #1.
If a player has a US SQUASH skill rating over 5.4, his opponent, if rated under 5.4, shall be given handicap points. If both players are rated above 5.4, no handicap points may be used, except by agreement of the players. The handicap points shall equal 1 point for each 0.1 skill rating point or fraction of 0.1 rating points over 5.4. Handicap points are capped at six points. Each game shall be played to eleven (11) points. The handicap player would start the match with the serve and the handicapped player having a lead equal to the handicap. For example, a player rated at 5.55 would give 2 handicap points to his opponent. The opponent would start the match with the serve and each game would start with the score of 2-0 in favor of the lower rated player.
Recommended Minimum Skill Level of US Squash 4.75+;
Scheduled Match Day: Generally Wednesday
Scoring: Each game shall be played to eleven (11) points, using point-a-rally (PAR) scoring
Eligibility: Skill level up to 5.0, minimum of 4.2+ recommended.
Scheduled Match Day: Tuesday
Scoring: Each game shall be played to eleven (11) points, using point-a-rally (PAR) scoring
Eligibility: Skill level up to 4.5. minimum of 4.0+ recommended.
Scheduled Match Day: Wednesday
Scoring: Each game shall be played to eleven (11) points, using point-a-rally (PAR) scoring
Eligibility: Skill level up to 4.0. minimum of 3.5+ recommended.
Scheduled Match Day: Thursday
Scoring: Each game shall be played to eleven (11) points, using point-a-rally (PAR) scoring
Eligibility: Skill level up to 3.5
Scheduled Match Day: Monday
Scoring: Each game shall be played to fifteen (15) points, using point-a-rally (PAR) scoring.
Eligibility: Skill level up to the level set by the Division Coordinator, Vice President of League and the president.
Scheduled Match Day: Weekends
Scoring: Each game shall be played to fifteen (15) points, using point-a-rally (PAR) scoring
b. Each division will be organized by a Division Coordinator with authority, as constrained by provisions of these rules, to schedule matches, define playoff criteria, and determine player eligibility for regular season matches, playoff matches and division tournaments. The Division Coordinator will enforce all rules and assess appropriate penalties for rule violations.
c. Except where otherwise specified in these rules, a Division Coordinator's decision on any appeal, protest, or interpretation may be appealed to the Vice President of League. Any such appeal must be made in writing by a team Captain. On all appeals, the decision of the Vice President of League is final.
a. All players must be members of NCS. Team captains are responsible for verifying the NCS membership of all players who take the court for their teams.
b. Each player must have the appropriate skill level for the division in which he or she is playing. Players with skill level at or below the eligibility levels in paragraph 1.a. may play in that division. Skill levels above that are not eligible for that division, unless the player appeals within four weeks of the first match for that division or a lower skill level division and the appeal is approved by the Vice President of League.
(Explanatory Note: Except as noted, player eligibility will be determined by the most recently published US Squash rating at the beginning of the season. Eligibility then remains fixed for the duration of the League season, i.e. changes of skill rating during the League season do not change eligibility status.)
c. A player classified in a lower division may play in a higher division.
d. Any match played by an ineligible player shall be scored as a default, and matches played below the ineligible player in the team line-up may be scored as defaults at the discretion of the Division Coordinator. Team captains will be notified when a match has been scored as a default.
e. Whenever possible, a new player with no published rating will be given official skill level ratings by NCS skill rating volunteers assigned by the Vice President of League. Any player who has not been officially rated may be given a provisional rating by the Division Coordinator, based on the player's performance in division matches, and the provisional rating will determine the player's division eligibility pending an official rating. A provisional rating may be appealed to the Vice President of League. Such appeal must be made in writing within 30 days after the player is notified of the rating. The Vice President of League may require the player to obtain an official rating.
f. No player may play for more than one team in any single division during the same season, unless given specific written approval by the Division Coordinator. This rule shall not apply to NCS 3.0 play. Such approval shall be limited to cases in which a change of residence or employment prompts the player to change his or her club membership.
g. To be eligible for Division Playoffs, a player must meet the requirements of Rules 2.a and 2.b, and must have played in a minimum of 25% of the team's matches. The 25% figure shall be rounded up to the next higher whole number if the calculation yields other than a whole number. A player who defaults a match is not credited with a reported match for this calculation, although the player who receives the default is.
a. Matches will be played as indicated by the official NCS schedule prepared by the respective Division Coordinators. All matches must be played on the scheduled date. Team captains may not reschedule matches. Division Coordinators may reschedule a match, at the request of the team captains, if court conditions or weather conditions make it impractical or unsafe to play the match on the scheduled date.
b. The scheduled start time for all league matches on weeknights is 7:00 p.m. This may be changed by agreement of both team captains or by requirement of the club. The home team Captain is responsible for making at least two (2) courts available for league play on the designated night from the appointed time through the end of the last match of the evening. Exceptions to this requirement may be made at the discretion of the Division Coordinator. Failure to make adequate provision for court time may lead to forfeiture of matches, at the discretion of the Division Coordinator.
c. The visiting team Captain must contact the home team Captain no later than noon on the day of a match to confirm the match line-ups.
1. If a team is known to be incomplete (i.e., lacking sufficient players for a complete team), those players who appear will play starting from the number one position down, and the bottom position shall be forfeited.
2. If a player whose team Captain reasonably expects to appear for a match is not present at the start time for the first match, as set according to Rule 3.b, the Captain may choose to (a) move those players who are present up, and play them starting from the number one position down, or (b) begin play with those who are present in their previously designated positions. If the missing player fails to appear within one hour of the start time for the first match, that player's match shall be forfeited, unless both team captains agreed prior to the start of the first match that play should be delayed to accommodate the late-arriving player. In addition, any matches played out of ladder position, based on players actually present, will be forfeit.
(Explanatory note: If a team Captain whose #1 player is not present at start time elects to proceed with matches #2, #3 and #4 without moving players up to fill in the #1 position, those matches will all be forfeited if the #1 player fails to appear within one hour of the start time.)
a. Each member of a team shall play his or her opponent in a match of the best three out of five games. Each game shall be played using the scoring system identified in 1.a.
b. Teams should base their order of play on order of merit. Teams are encouraged to use the following procedures. At the start of every season, halfway through the season and prior to the beginning of the first playoff match each Captain may provide a ladder order listing all of the participating players in rank order to each Division Coordinator. If a team has a player who will be missing a match the team is permitted to slot the player into the appropriate position which will be listed on the original ladder listing. This "listing" will show the players in ladder order (number one being the strongest play, number two the next best and so on). Each Captain is obligated to provide the opposing coach with a match line-up by Noon the day of a match (or as early as possible) which will allow each Captain enough time to review each other's line-ups and raise any concerns with the Vice President of League for resolution. An opposing Captain may challenge a player's ladder position based on their rating, match or challenge record in the current season. A Captain must have available upon request to the Vice President of League a report of all team matches played and a list of challenge results available for the opposing Captain to inspect before each match.
Captains are strongly encouraged to create a ladder for their team using either US SQUASH's Club Ladder functionality or the Friendly Match system in US SQUASH's Club Locker website for recording club matches. Posting such matches online will improve transparency and increase the accuracy of ratings.
(Explanatory notes: During the season a team may draw players from anywhere on its order-of-merit list of players, but they must play in the relative order as it appears on that list or risk default for out-of-order play. For example, if a team has 10 players and chooses players 2, 6, 7, and 10 from its ranking list, then the No 2 player must play at team position 1, the No 6 player at team position 2, the No 7 player at team position 3, and the No 10 player at team position 4.)
New players may join at any time, and should be inserted in the appropriate position by the Captain as determines appropriate. Ideally new players would be assigned an order-of-merit position in consultation with the Division Coordinator before the player's first game. If this is not possible, the Division Coordinator, in consultation with the Captain, will assess the player's level after the first match and accept or reject the proposed playing order. Willful abuse of the ranking of new players by team captains may result in default at the sole discretion of the Division Coordinator.)
c. All play shall be governed by the Rules of Squash of the World Squash Federation, as endorsed by US SQUASH.
d. The league ball shall be the ball adopted by the US SQUASH for sanctioned play.
e. Each player shall wear lensed, protective eyewear that meets US SQUASH safety specifications. It is not acceptable to play without protective eyewear under any circumstances, including mutual agreement by both players. A player who refuses to wear protective eyewear will forfeit his or her match.
Each team will be awarded a bonus individual match win for each player on their roster who is a US SQUASH certified club referee or higher, for up to four players and four bonus wins (three players and three bonus wins for summer league play). The bonus wins will be computed when the season is two-thirds complete based on the number of certified referees on each team roster who have played in at least one team match as of that date. These wins will count in the standings as noted in Rule 7a as if a match was played. The percentage of certified referees on a team roster will also be used as tiebreakers under Rule 7.
The home team Captain is responsible for entering the official NCS match results in the score-entry system located on the US SQUASH website within 72 hours after the scheduled match. The visiting team Captain may also enter match results. The reported results must indicate the names of all players, the winner of each match, and the number of games won and lost, including game scores, in each match.
Failure to meet these requirements will result in an automatic default of the home team (a win by the visiting team in each match) by the software and is not subject to appeal. Home team captains must retain a record of all their match results until the completion of the current season.
a. Each individual match will count as a point won or lost by the team. The Vice President of League, in consultation with the respective Division Coordinators, shall determine the manner and method in which playoffs and division championships shall be conducted, on a season-by-season basis. All pertinent information concerning playoffs shall be made available to team captains at the outset of each season. Team captains shall be advised of any changes on a timely basis.
b. If two (2) or more teams are tied at the end of the regular season, the following procedures shall be used to determine which team or teams advance to the playoffs and their seedings in the playoffs:
- First, the total individual matches won and lost in head-to-head contests between the tied teams during the season;
- Second, the total games won and lost in head-to-head contests between the tied teams during the season;
- Third, the team with the greatest percentage of certified referees on the roster at the end of the season who are eligible to play in the playoffs.
- Fourth, the total games won and lost by each team against all opponents during the season;
- Fifth, the number of matches defaulted by each team against all opponents during the season, with preference given to the team with the fewest defaults;
- Sixth, the Vice President of League shall flip a coin to determine the winner.
c. If a playoff match is tied, the following procedures shall be used to determine the winner:
- First, the total games won and lost;
- Second, the total points scored;
- Third, the team with the greatest percentage of certified referees on the roster as of the day before the playoff match who are eligible to play in the playoffs.
- Fourth, the total individual matches won and lost in head-to-head contests between the tied teams during the season;
- Fifth, the total games won and lost in head-to-head contests between the tied teams during the season;
- Sixth, the Vice President of League shall flip a coin to determine the winner, unless the tied match in question is a championship final in which case both teams will share the championship.
8. NCS 3.0 special rules.
The Division Coordinator, Vice President of League and the president shall have authority to write exceptions to any rule or to write special rules to facilitate play in NCS 3.0.
These rules may be amended by a majority vote of the League Committee, which consists of each of the six division coordinators plus the president and VP of League.

Hotsos Symposium Speaker – Gerwin Hendriksen
Gerwin Hendriksen is a returning Hotsos Symposium presenter.
Gerwin Hendriksen has been working with Oracle technologies for more than fifteen years. He started work as a DBA at a consulting company in the Netherlands. After this, he worked for five years for Oracle in the role of Advanced Resolution Engineer. In this role, he specialized in performance and high availability for the Oracle database and Oracle E-Business Suite. In his time at Oracle, he gave several training classes in different countries. Later, Mr. Hendriksen joined IBM, and worked there for two years. At IBM, he worked as a Technical Consultant for several projects in different countries. He also gave training classes in the IBM JSC in Montpellier, and at several customer sites.
Currently, he is employed by codecentric in the Netherlands, where he is working as a Performance Architect. He has given several presentations about Oracle database performance and Oracle E-Business Suite performance. He has also given presentations for the Oracle User Group Holland, at the DBA Symposium in Holland (Planboard), at Oracle Open World 2008, at the Hotsos Symposium (2008, 2009, 2011) and at the UKOUG 2011 symposium. During these last mentioned presentations, he presented on his developed performance method "Method-GAPP". Gerwin is very busy with performance management, capacity planning, and E-Business Suite Performance.
Presentation Titles
"Method GAPP" Used to Mine OEM 12c Repository and AWR Data
This session will first briefly demonstrate how to use "Method-General Approach Performance Profiling" (Method-GAPP), which was introduced at Hotsos Symposium in 2008, to profile end-user response times and predict performance in multi-tier architectures. Business processes are influenced by many components like web servers, portal servers, Oracle Internet Directory servers, database servers, application servers, etc. The power of "Method-GAPP" is its ability to help you manage environments of arbitrary complexity, regardless of which technologies you've implemented.
This session will mainly focus on the value of data inside the OEM 12c repository and the available AWR data. This data is used by the Method, to see what is important for your specific business process response time for the end-user. By using the Method to mine the data, you will be able to find the most involved tiers in your architecture, what the most important SQL is, and what the most involved events are. After creating a model, by the use of "Method-GAPP", the end-user performance can be predicted based on the mined data.
The presentation will show results from actual customer experiences in SOA-based systems with more than three nodes. Also a complete case from the most recent "Method-GAPP" white paper will be explained and shown. The session will further show how the Method works and how important relations between available mined data and end-user response times can be found. The session will also show how the results can be used for your optimizations effort.
Presentation Materials
Presentation materials are available online to attendees only.
The speaker schedule is as follows:
