Egos claw and scratch for Andys-jury votes
The idea of electing the jury for the 2010 Andy Awards is commendable: Instead of picking the same creatives who judge all the awards shows, open up the process to new voices. But come on, this is advertising. It means egos are at stake. While some ad guys are playing it cool, other heavy hitters are taking to social media to drum up votes among the faithful. Will McGuinness of Goodby, Silverstein & Partners put it this way to his Facebook network: "I was nominated for the Andy's jury. If you really value our friendship you'll vote for me." Ogilvy chief digital creative officer Lars Bastholm has urged his 2,200 Twitter followers not once, not twice but three times to vote for him. He even promised that, if elected, he wouldn't blow up the moon. Not to be outdone, TBWA\Chiat\Day chief creative officer Rob Schwartz is Twittering for votes and has set up a Posterous site, Andy Potential, to collect work he feels might be worthy, to show his serious side. Arnold's Twitter account is pushing executive creative director Pete Favat. But the best campaigns so far have to be the dueling text-to-voice animations from Crispin Porter + Bogusky ecd Andrew Keller and R/GA North America cco Nick Law. (See below.) Bastholm has also done one. It's all in good fun, although the end result will probably be a jury that's not that different from years past. Still, early returns hold out some hope for non-advertising people. Graffitti artist Banksy, former Talking Heads frontman David Byrne, designer Marc Jacobs and graphic artist Shepard Fairey have cracked the top 20.

Lunar New Year has dark side for Vietnam economy, say critics
HANOI (AFP) - Packed shops, traffic chaos and kumquat trees everywhere can only mean one thing in Hanoi: a new lunar year is approaching.
But not everybody is feeling festive.
Known locally as Tet, the celebration of the lunar new year is Vietnam's most important holiday and triggers a surge in consumption and travel ahead of an extended nationwide shutdown.
But this year, critics are arguing that the beloved, protracted Tet holiday is actually hurting the already fragile economy.

New curriculum means fewer textbooks in Camden County
A transition to a new curriculum in Camden County means students are now using fewer textbooks and more online resources.
The curriculum, called Common Core, is designed to make student instruction the same across the country.
As a result, Camden County found that many of its old textbooks didn't align with the new curriculum, so they've begun using online resources.
"Everything can be projected for the student. So the student doesn't necessarily carry a textbook with them, everything is done in class using those resources," explained Superintendent Melvin Hawkins.
That means if parents want to have textbooks for their students to use, they'll have to purchase them on their own.
That idea isn't sitting well with all parents like Tracey O'Hara who wrote to NewsChannel 3 expressing concern.
"I've never heard of sending our children to school and changing the curriculum and not having the books to teach it from. It just doesn't make sense," explained O'Hara.
O'Hara says in her son's middle school class, teachers have offered parents the option to purchase an online textbook.
"I work a full-time job, my husband works a full-time job, we pay our taxes. Why are we having to pay for their books? That just doesn't make sense," O'Hara said.
Superintendent Hawkins says the online textbook is not a requirement and that all students are learning from the same material being projected in the classrooms.
"That just becomes a tool or resource as an option if the parent so chooses to purchase, it's not a requirement, no one is asking them to make it a requirement. It's just an opportunity and a resource if they would like to purchase," Hawkins explained.
Camden County Schools are working on a strategy to open more of the school computer labs to parents and students who may have limited Internet access at home.
Hawkins says the change in curriculum will help students and will put them on an even playing field with the rest of the world.
"It puts us on an even playing field with India, China, Japan and that's where we need to be," Hawkins said.

working on Rockhound down to 16 shards left any advice is welcome to narrow down this maybe easy to miss locations to double check would be great help. need ideas for Casey Jones only problem running out of enemy locations since i cleared most of the map. whenever i get this all done this will make platinum #11 for me i know not a whole lot for gaming when i have 1709 trophies but i rent most games anyway lol. ---
Well, for Casey Jones it might just be best if you start a new, "no side-missions" profile, and stop when you get one train running until you finish the trophy. It's what I did, because then there's always enemies to take down.
yeah i thought as much to start over but i have two other trophies giving me problems first one is i'm down to one blast shard and can't find the damn thing and the second one is trying to get 12k xp for my final evil power i have maybe 7k xp and almost no way to get the xp 100% cleared crime from maps >_<
For the XP problem, healing touch gives you points. If you hurt pedestrians then heal them, you can eventually get the necessary points.
yeah i figured that out but i don't wanna lose my evil status by healing too much are the good/evil points 50/50 ? so if i heal someone then bio leach the next does it stay about where it is or is it 2 to 1 ratio one way ?

Eagle Eye is a 2008 American action thriller film directed by D. J. Caruso and starring Shia LaBeouf and Michelle Monaghan. The two portray a young man and a single mother who are brought together and coerced by an anonymous caller (Julianne Moore) into carrying out a plan by a possible terrorist organization. The film was released in regular 35 mm theaters and IMAX theaters.
Murrieta is a city in southwestern Riverside County, California, United States. The population of Murrieta was 103,466 at the 2010 census. Murrieta experienced a 233.7% population increase between 2000 and 2010, according to the most recent census, making Murrieta one of the fastest growing cities in the state. This population boom in 2010 surpassed the population of the historically larger and more commercial city of Temecula to the south for the first time since the incorporation of either city. Temecula and Murrieta together form the southwestern anchor of the Inland Empire region. The Murrieta-Temecula-Menifee Urban Area had a population of 441,546 at the 2010 Census. Largely residential in character, Murrieta is typically characterized as a commuter town, with many of its residents commuting to jobs in San Diego County, Orange County, Los Angeles County, Temecula, and Camp Pendleton because it is nearly equidistant to these economic centers.
Murrieta is bordered by Temecula to the south and the newly incorporated cities of Menifee and Wildomar to the north.

Ask Mr. Smarty Plants is a free service provided by the staff and volunteers at the Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center.
Can't find the answer in our existing FAQs, submit a question to Mr. Smarty Plants.
Need help with plant identification, visit the plant identification page.
From: Whitehall, PA
Region: Mid-Atlantic
Topic: Shrubs, Trees
Title: Evergreen for privacy in PA
Answered by: Anne Bossart
We CAN help, by teaching you how to use our Native Plant Database to learn about what evergreens are native to your area.
Do a Combination Search for PA and select the plant type you are interested in (trees or large shrubs), your conditions (you say plenty of light but don't mention whether the soil is moist, wet or dry) and evergreen leaf retention. The database will generate a list of plants that fit those criteria that are native to PA. Each plant on the list is linked to a detailed information page with images. Play with the Narrow your Search function to see the lists change accordingly.
Ultimately, you will be restricted in your choices by what is available in your local nurseries (and some of those big box stores do make an effort to carry plant material that is not only native but local), but you can make your list and then go shopping. You can also look up the plants the nurseries recommend for more information.
Here are a few that would be suitable from lists I created choosing sun/part shade and not narrowing the search for moisture condtions.
Larger shrubs
Rhododendron maximum (Great laurel)
Trees (these can get big)
Chamaecyparis thyoides (Atlantic white cedar)
Juniperus virginiana (Eastern red cedar)
Magnolia virginiana (Sweetbay) (this may be semi-evergreen depending on what cultivar you choose)

Quilted Japanese wall hanging pattern. Icho is the Japanese word for "Gingko". Geraldine Richardson has always admired the grace and beauty of oriental art for many years. So when she came across a book of Ancient Japanese Family Crests she began applying some to applique. A certain amount of artistic license has been taken with each of the "Crests" that she has adapted. Some elements have either been added or deleted in order to make the design more "applique friendly". Most are relatively quick to make and individual blocks can be used as a small wall hanging, or several can be combined for a larger quilt.

Thomas Jefferson, the third president of the United States, framer and signer of the Declaration of Independence, exemplar of public service, and a man of science and the arts left a legacy of two homes for the public to marvel at: Monticello and a private retreat named Poplar Forest. Of the two residences, the former is perhaps better known and the subject of this review.
Monticello is located just outside Charlottesville, Virginia. The approach to the home is by a gently winding highway and sets the scene for a plantation on the hill. Clearly marked signs direct one into the parking lots at the Visitor Center itself comprised of a museum shop, orientation theater, education center, café type restaurant, restrooms, outdoor seating areas, and shuttle bus station. The journey to Monticello is always upwards it seems but never too arduous for the visitor.
The shuttle bus leaves the visitor area, navigates another winding roadway and five minutes later deposits passengers just outside the East Walk, the main walkway leading to the home. There is a well-polished but comfortable efficiency permeating the visitor tour which suggests that much thought has been given over time to transitioning visitors from arrival to tour. Such well-honed attention to visitor flow makes for a thoroughly enjoyable experience. Disembarking bus passengers are directed to a waiting area near the East Walk, informed when to proceed to the mansion, and met by the docent who is to lead that particular tour. Tours inside the home take perhaps 30 minutes.
On my particular tour, the docent was very personable, moved our group through the home at what seemed like an unhurried pace; infused her delivery with a very interesting combination of historical and anecdotal fact about Jefferson, his family and guests; sprinkled her commentary with a dash here and there of theatrical emphasis in order to make a telling point or two, and left this visitor with a sense of the life of this larger than life American persona rather than a mind-numbing recitation of statements that are all too often forgotten fifteen minutes after departure.
Without attempting to summarize all the aspects of Jefferson's life and the interesting and innovative features both practical and architectural that embody Monticello, I would just say that the phrase "Renaissance Man" came to mind when touring the home and thinking about Jefferson. His life was not drab by any stretch of the imagination and his inventive faculties; promulgated interest in the letters, arts, public architecture and a myriad of sciences (including horticulture, ethnography, paleontology, archaeology, astronomy to cite some fields of study); and accommodations to a steady stream of friends, guests and dignitaries are quite visible in the manner in which the home is architecturally brought to fruition. In one respect, Monticello was seemingly under constant renovation and remodeling, an aspect of visiting Jefferson which did not escape the notice and later comment by some of his contemporaneous guests.
Once the inside tour concluded, visitors were left with a number of options to complete their visit: wander the grounds, outbuildings and dependencies (those areas set aside for domestic work) to gain more insight into the 18th century plantation way of life; photograph the exterior of the home, grounds and gardens to one's heart content (interior photography was not permitted); observe an archaeological dig in progress, take one of several other focused tours dealing with for example the slave-force which profitably supported the plantation in a variety of industries or the gardens and horticultural endeavors, meander back by foot to the orientation complex by way of a gravel path passing by the cemetery where Jefferson is buried, or wait for the next shuttle bus making its appointed rounds of the day.
Visitors to Monticello will find the experience professional, relaxed, the grounds and public facilities clean and well maintained, and well worth the investment of time. For aficionados of history, the opportunity to be where Jefferson lived, invented, entertained, and mentally theorized and helped shape the direction of the new nation was very palpable. It's difficult to understand how anyone could leave this historic site feeling that their visit to Monticello was not in some way enlightening.

At the moment, clicking the icon launches the modal but obviously triggers the accordion menu expand/collapse event as well. How can I prevent it?
Demo: http://jsfiddle.net/M3MDJ/3/
As far as I can tell, the Bootstrap modal event happens first because if I use event.stopPropagation()
or event.stopImmediatePropagation()
nothing at all happens; even the modal is prevented from opening.

Moscow: The Russian Air Force will start receiving Il-476 heavy transport planes in 2012, the commander of the Russian Air Force's military transport aviation said on Friday.
The Il-476 is a significantly modernized version of Russia's Il-76 Candid transport plane, featuring a fully-digital flight control system, new avionics and PS-90A-76 engines with improved fuel efficiency systems.
"I think the Il-476, which will eventually replace the Il-76, will start arriving in the military transport aviation sometime in 2012," Lt. Gen. Viktor Kachalkin said.
The plane will be built at the Urals-based Aviastar-SP aircraft-manufacturing plant.
The Russian Defense Ministry plans to buy at least 38 Il-476 in cargo and aerial tanker versions in line with the state arms procurement program for the period of 2011-2020.
According to various sources, there are up to 300 transport aircraft in service with the Russian Air Force, including An-12 Cub, An-72 Coaler, An-22 Cock, An-124 Condor and Il-76 Candid planes. Most of the aircraft entered service in the 1960s and 1970s and are considered outdated by modern safety and noise pollution standards.

I think the WBBB 1.7 looks like a dream. Can't decide on single or double layer though and don't have the money for it anyway!

Forgive me for being a noob about all things relating to hammocks, but this thread caught my eye because of my inexperience. I was looking forward to the choices of more sage advisor/hangers as I wondered, "Why would you have more than one, anyway?"
I can understand if, like me, you bought the first budget hammock that came along, just to try out hanging around. Then, when I've decided that this method of camping/sleeping will work out for me, I'll upgrade to something much more serviceable. In addition to the different models and styles of hammocks that seem to have been created, I wondered, once you've found your best choice, why you would dump the rest? I guess it's kinda like motorcycles, since I can only ride one at a time, my wife has pretty much rejected my idea that I need to have another... |

I think it's very easy to understand why many of us own more than one hammock. Your analysis is quite close for me. I bought a big lots cheapo. Then an ENO DN which still gets used for lounging. Then a bridge because I thought I could only sleep on my stomach. With a little more experience I realized I could sleep on my side or back and then wanted more room and interior storage. Enter the blackbird, which I love.
Fortunately, with hammocks, owning more than one in not a heavy financial burden. Like say recumbents, motorcycles, and sailboats all of which I own more than one of. I have my spares to turn friends onto hanging. Because they are rather inexpensive even compared to tents I see no reason to sell my spares. Asking people to share their experience and pick the one they would keep gives me ideas for other hammocks I might like to try. When I was buying my first hammocks I looked at the signatures of posters and saw which hammocks were very popular but didn't understand why the user had evolved to that specific model. I asked why for that very reason. I am enjoying the new ideas and logic behind the choices I will probably be inspired to buy at least one more from the input... Thanks to those who have contributed so far. Andy Last edited by Full_timer; 07-09-2012 at 15:45.. |

What: Clark NX-200
Why: What I do is more paddle camping than backpacking, so the fact that it weighs a bit more isn't really a bother. Due to my need for weight capacity, need a bigger set up anyway. Bug proof bottom without having to resort to chemicals is nice, pockets giving me easy (mean, reach out into the bug infested darkness for a pee bottle, which isn't something I have to fight inside the hammock, etc) access to stuff as well as built in insulation is awesome. Removable bug net without having a ridgeline in the back of my head if I use it as a seat. Edit: And the weather shield is nice, keeping things a bit warmer when needed, yet fully zips off when not.

So far for me it would be my DL WBBB inspired DIY. It was my 4th DIY. It's got a full zip in bug net with zippers down both sides so I can tie it up out of the way in the winter. It's a bit bigger than my others. I love the foot box and the double layer is awesome in the winter as I can slip a reflectix pad under my lower back on really cold nights and it doesnt move.
Saying all that I've only ever slept in one commercial hammock ( Hennessy expedition Asym zip).

My favorite and if only one Clark TX 250. Because it is the cadillac of hammocks. It has everything you could want and does everything you could want.
That being said, I have 11 different hammocks. Why? Because I read all the great reviews here and wanted to see for myself which one was the best. I ahve kept them all because I liked them all and use them all. They are all great hammocks, but If I had to get rid of all but one..........See first comments.

If I had to pick right now, it would be the Warbonnet Blackbird 1.7 single layer. Very comfortable, easy to set up, I like the shelf, and a great weight for the features. And also b/c it fits the Yetis well.
I have different hammocks b/c my trips have different requirements. In winter, I'll often take one without a bug net and save the weight. Or my insulated hammock to save the weight of an UQ suspension system and a fabric layer on the UQ. On other trips, weight is a big issue, so I take the lightest hammock to meet the job, like the Warbonnet El Dorado...no shelf, lighter than the WBBB, but still comfortable. Other times, it's b/c I'm outfitting 4 people for the trip...summer or winter. Or at least that's the excuse I keep using to buy more gear!

If it quacks like a duck and waddles like a duck but is herded like a sheep, what sport are we watching?
That question may have occurred to the hundreds of spectators at the Motueka A&P Show who witnessed border collie Aled slinking low to the ground, his ears pinned back, as he split a group of six ducks into two groups by colour and then herded them into boxes.
Rai Valley sheep dog breeder Ken White has been performing his duck and dog show off and on since 1982, when it debuted at the Rai Valley A&P Show. Since then he and his wife Natalie have performed it about a hundred times around the country and in Australia.
Mr White, who has also represented New Zealand at the World Sheep Dog Trials several times, said he was inspired to create the show because "I wanted to take something farm to schools because a lot of townie kids don't understand what sheep or dogs do".
But he found young children could be scared of sheep and it was also easier to transport ducks.
He said he had seen some other duck and dog shows on YouTube but none where a dog split a flock into two groups by colour.
Mr White uses black American Kyuga ducks and white Pekingese ducks, which he keeps as domestic animals.
He has to refresh the flock periodically because the ducks can become too good at finding their way into grain-stocked duck boxes and is always on the look-out for more ducks.
The two biggest obstacles to a successful show are self-evident: unlike sheep, ducks can fly and they could also make a tasty lunch for a dog.
Mr White said some varieties of ducks are less likely to fly and it took a special dog to work with ducks.
"You want a dog with a kind eye and a kind touch."
Ducks were trickier to work with than sheep, he said.
"It's so fine a movement, it's so quick. The good dogs learn to watch their head. It's like working merinos; they're so quick. And the next thing is, they might start flying. You've got to take them quietly."
Aled, a four-year-old border collie, has been herding ducks for two years and also works with sheep.
Mr White is taking him to the World Sheep Dog Trials in Tain, Scotland, in September. It will cost him $10,000 just to ship Aled, and he said the vetting process and paperwork required added several thousand dollars to that, joking that the paperwork weighs as much as the dog.
Mr White's duck dreams don't end with herding.
He has plans to create a duck racing show, dressing ducks in hats and dresses with numbers, where fair-goers could bet on which duck would make it to the end of the race-course first.

Blues Acquire Defenseman Jay Bouwmeester
(ST. LOUIS) – St. Louis Blues General Manager Doug Armstrong announced Monday the club has acquired defenseman Jay Bouwmeester from Calgary in exchange for minor league defenseman Mark Cundari, the rights to goaltender Reto Berra as well as a conditional 1st round pick in 2013. If the Blues miss the playoffs this season, the Flames will receive the Blues' fourth round pick in the 2013 NHL Entry Draft and St. Louis' first round pick in the 2014 draft.
"We've been looking to acquire a top left handed defenseman and Jay represents that and is an elite player in our game," said Armstrong.
Bouwmeester, 29, has dressed in 33 games for the Flames this season posting 15 points (six goals, nine assists) and 16 penalty minutes while ranking 13th among all defenseman in time on ice per game (25:09). The 6'4, 212-pound defenseman has appeared in 10 National Hockey League (NHL) season, including stints with Florida and Calgary, recording 300 points (71 goals, 229 assists) and 463 penalty minutes in 750 career games. In addition, Bouwmeester has played in 621 consecutive NHL games.
The Edmonton, Alberta native was originally drafted by Florida in the first round (3rd overall) of the 2002 Entry Draft. Bouwmeester will not count against the Blues 23 man roster until he clears through immigration procedures.
Schwartz and Berglund both scored in the third, but it wasn't enough to power the Blues past the Canucks
Jannik Hansen and Dale Weise also scored for Vancouver (14-9-6), which ended a two-game losing streak.
Jaden Schwartz and Patrik Berglund both scored in the third period for the Blues (16-11-2), who lost for only the second time in seven games. St. Louis had won three straight with rookie goalie Jake Allen. He stopped 16 Canucks shots.
The Blues outshot the Canucks 34-19. Vancouver managed only a total of five shots in the first and third periods.
After being badly outshot in the opening frame, the Canucks woke up in the second period and scored three unanswered goals.
Schneider started after watching the previous four games from the bench. He was kept busy in a scoreless first period as the Blues outshot the Canucks 15-3.
He made saves on David Perron from left wing and Alex Pietrangelo from the right point. After retrieving his own rebound, Perron sent the puck to Pietrangelo.
Later in the period, he robbed Pietrangelo from short range with his glove and foiled Andy McDonald, who returned to the Blues lineup after missing 10 games with a knee injury.
Hansen opened the scoring 2:30 into the second period when he took a cross-ice pass from Mason Raymond in the neutral zone, skated over the blue line and beat Allen with a slap shot.
The goal came on Vancouver's sixth shot of the game. Daniel Sedin gave the Canucks a 2-0 lead less than two minutes later when he fired in brother Henrik's angle pass from behind the goal line.
Daniel Sedin ended his scoring drought at eight games.
Weise, known for fisticuffs rather than scoring dexterity, extended Vancouver's lead to 3-0 midway through the second period on a nifty play. He took a spin-around forehand pass from Jordan Schroeder and then deked Allen while skating across the goal mouth.
It was Weise's second goal of the season and first in 11 games.
The Blues got on the scoreboard just over five minutes into the third period when Vladimir Tarasenko's shot bounced in off Schwartz, cutting their deficit to 3-1.
Berglund pulled St. Louis within a goal at 13:38 of the third as Kris Russell's shot bounced to him off the back of Canuck defenseman Chris Tanev's head.
The Canucks received a power play with 3:06 left in the third period as Vladimir Sobotka was called for holding. The whistle finally blew after the Canucks had a prolonged delayed penalty, struggled to get the puck up the ice with an extra attacker. Kevin Bieksa just missed the net as he tried to put in a pass from Raymond.
St. Louis was blanked on three power plays. The Canucks were unsuccessful on two.
NOTES: The Canucks lost forward Zack Kassian to an injury in the first period. He had returned to Vancouver's lineup after missing the previous two games with a sore back. He fought St. Louis forward Chris Stewart, the NHL's first star of the week, less than three minutes in. ... Vancouver forward Andrew Ebbett was scratched, and David Booth remains out indefinitely with a leg injury. ... Stewart played his 300th NHL game. ... Blues forward T.J. Oshie missed his third consecutive game with a rib injury. He is expected to return Saturday in Edmonton.
Berglund leads Blues past Coyotes, 6-3
Chris Stewart got a goal and two assists, David Perron added four assists, and Scott Nichol, Vladimir Sobotka and Alex Pietrangelo also scored as the Blues won after two straight losses.
David Moss scored a short-handed goal, Keith Yandle had a power-play goal and Shane Doan added his second goal in three games for the Coyotes, who have lost two straight.
After Stewart gave the Blues a 1-0 lead on a long rebound to the bottom of the right circle, a series of defensive miscues led to four of the next five goals.
Blues forwards McDonald on IR; Steen is Day-to-Day
St. Louis Blues Executive Vice President and General Manager Doug Armstrong announced the club has placed forward Andy McDonald on Injured Reserve today. McDonald is listed as week-to-week after suffering a left knee injury during practice yesterday at St. Louis Mills. In addition, the Blues have listed forward Alex Steen as day-to-day with an upper body injury. Steen was also injured during yesterday's practice.
McDonald, 35, has appeared in all 18 of the Blues' games this season tallying 11 points including three goals and eight assists. Overall, the 5'10, 175-pound forward has dressed in 666 National Hockey League (NHL) games accumulating 479 points including 178 goals and 301 assists.
Steen, 28, has appeared in all 18 of the Blues' games this season and leads the team with 16 points including four goals and 12 assists. Overall, the 6'0, 212-pound forward has dressed in 515 NHL games totaling 292 points including 119 goals and 173 assists. The Winnipeg, Manitoba native was originally drafted by Toronto in the first round, 24th overall, of the 2002 Entry Draft.
Blues lose to Sharks at home -- trade players with Nashville
The Sharks' seven-game skid was their longest streak since a 10-game run Nov. 5-30, 2005.
Joe Thornton also scored for San Jose, which began the season with a franchise-record seven successive wins.
St. Louis has dropped five consecutive home games. The Blues also had a three-game winning streak halted. The Blues were coming off a 3-0 road trip with wins in Detroit, Calgary and Vancouver.
Kennedy scored the go-ahead goal at 13:02 on a shot from the left faceoff circle that eluded goalie Jake Allen, who had won the first three starts of his career.
Meanwhile, the Blues have traded defenseman Scott Ford to the Nashville Predators in exchange for forward Jani Lajunen.
Blues down Canucks in shootout, 4-3
Patrik Berglund also scored for St. Louis, which swept its three-game road swing after losing five straight games.
Blues rookie goaltender Jake Allen made 28 saves and stopped the Canucks' Ryan Kesler and Alex Burrows in the shootout.
Kesler and Henrik Sedin had their first goals of the season and Mason Raymond also scored in regulation for Vancouver, which has lost two straight after winning six in a row.
The Canucks looked destined to lose in regulation after the Blues took a 3-2 lead early in the third period, but Raymond tied the game on a power play with 1:47 remaining.

Please Die. (The Lennon Brothers.)[SETTING OF DREAM: YOKO'S HOME IN NEW YORK; YEAR: 1981; AGES 26 AND 14.]Please Die. (The Lennon Brothers.) by Chrissy2
Sean's heavy eyes fluttered open when he felt something warm wrap around his neck. He did not think anything of it until he was completely conscious. Sitting on top of him, trapping his torso in between his thighs, was his older half-brother, Julian. A wave of panic ran through him when he realized that it was Julian's hands that he felt wrapped around his neck.
"Jules?" he whispered, bringing his hands up to Julian's wrists.
The older man stared down at him like a predator would at its prey, and commanded in a haunting voice, "Die."
The grip around his neck grew tighter and Sean could hardly breathe. "Jul--Julian!" he managed to gasp. "Please stop!"
"Just relax. This won't take long. It'll be like drowning."
When Sean attempted to cry out, Julian pulled one hand away from around his neck and brought it up to his mouth. His other hand continued to choke him...
"SEAN! Wake up!"
Sean woke up and saw Juli

Kidney grateful to O'Gara for getting sloppy Irish off hook
Italy 11 Ireland 13
In many respects, Ireland's opening performance of the 2011 Six Nations was, well, muck. However, before there is any wild descent into doom-mongering and calls for wholesale change, it should be noted that it is also a win that could stand this Irish squad in good stead, possibly even one we may look back on in eight months' time as a turning point.
The key is that they won – defeat would have been disastrous in terms of morale and progression to the World Cup. The clock is ticking, just eight games and seven months until Ireland begin their New Zealand 2011 campaign and it really is time to kick on.
There have been mitigating circumstances, such as injuries, rule changes and southern hemisphere opposition but the truth is we have not had an Ireland performance to truly enthuse over since the 27-12 win over Wales on 13 March last year. That is why victory was so essential on Saturday and, once again, Irish rugby owes a debt of gratitude to Ronan O'Gara.
Down to 14 men following the sin-binning of Denis Leamy, Ireland were a point behind their hosts and staring a first Six Nations defeat to Italy square in the face. The Stadio Flaminio was rocking, Italy coach Nick Mallett and his assistant Alessandro Troncon looked like they would have to book a hotel room if they got any more excited but O'Gara, on the pitch for Jonathan Sexton not long before Italy forged ahead through Luke McLean's try, was not about to miss this opportunity to make his point.
From the kick-off to the decisive drop goal a couple of minutes after, the 104-cap veteran was in masterful control and, if Ireland had replicated the clinical urgency and focus they showed in that end-game cameo for the previous 77 minutes, they would have won this pulling up.
They kept that focus when Italy attempted to respond with the last kick of the game, a drop goal effort from replacement Luciano Orquera, and relieved Ireland coach Declan Kidney paid tribute to his men afterwards. "There are things you can't coach, you either have it or you don't – and we have it," said Kidney. "That was a time we could have just panicked but, both in attack and defence, we didn't."
However, Kidney acknowledged that his side had fallen well below par with their error count which contributed to 16 turnovers – unsustainable against the top teams and very nearly calamitous against a fired-up and physical Italian effort.
"We didn't excel at anything really," admitted the coach. "I'm not going to try and bask in the elation of having gotten away with it. Knowing the players, I know how hard they try. We had a few wild passes and then once we did that, we just tried harder and harder again and that's a frustration, but it's a positive frustration, we just have to calm down and hang on to the ball and not force things as much."
Two of Ireland's most skilful operators – centres Brian O'Driscoll and Gordon D'Arcy – were particularly profligate with possession. O'Driscoll scored the crucial try after half-time when he squirmed around the flailing, mismatched challenge of Martin Castrogiovanni but he also flung two wild passes over the head of right wing Fergus McFadden.
D'Arcy had more spills than a waiter with the DTs, and one when he had brought his team to within a metre of the Italian line.
That said, Italy also deserve credit for their resolve. They are still a limited attacking side but have a pack that can mix it with anyone in world rugby and now, helped by their Magners League involvement, appear to be an 80-minute team.
Italy: Try McLean; Penalties Bergamasco 2.
Ireland: Try O'Driscoll; Conversion Sexton; Penalty Sexton; Drop goal O'Gara.

Yardbird Southern Table & Bar
Miami Beach, FL 33139
Miami New Times' Description
Yardbird's appeal borrows from other factors beyond the buoyant bill of fare. The farmhouse décor, American blues music, and overall ambiance are synchronized with the Southern American fare to the extent of enhancing the meals like some secret seasoning. Chef/partner Jeff McInnis and chef de cuisine Phillip Bryant hit all the right notes with their menu of "small shares" and "big shares." Delectable successes include buttermilk biscuits; Brunswick stew with alligator sausage and smoked rabbit; sweet tea-brined barbecued ribs; shrimp and grits; and Llewellyn's Southern fried chicken with a cheddar-and-chow-chow waffle and citrus-splashed watermelon -- the best fried chicken in town. Craft bourbons, beers, and wines are all-American, and service is sharp. Beer, bourbon, blues, and Southern American fare, at an affordable price point, in a fetching farmhouse environment. Yardbird is a distinct and integrated vision completely realized.
Member Reviews
The food was delicious but yes expensive (I guess they gotta pay that Lincoln Rd rent) - the shrimp & grits were very good, fried green tomato BLT was ridiculous, but the fried chicken, waffles and watermelon was something special . . . chase it with a craft bourbon, they have some tasty spirits in this place, but yes it is not cheap
Listen, folks: the wunderkind from the panhandle is pure hype. At $26 (yes, you read that correctly), the fried chicken is nothing special -- I'll take Popeye's any day. The $14 "chicken biscuits" -- all two of them -- were fine, but again, you can't seriously tell me that's an acceptable price (you get two for $5 at Chick-a-Fil-a). Is the ambience great? Yes. Drinks good? Yep.... More >>
