2.5 stars for Cooper Avenue's American eats on South Beach
2.5 stars for Cooper Avenue's American eats on South Beach
Cooper Avenue
1661 Pennsylvania Ave, Miami Beach
305-455-4741Hours: 11am-4pm, 5pm-1am daily
Prices: Buns and baos $6-$7, appetizers and salads $10-$18, entrees $18-$34, desserts $9FYI: Full bar. Parking garage on 17th Street between Meridian and Pennsylvania avenues. AX, DN, MC,
Amir Ben Zion, the savvy and ambitious Israeli businessman who brought us Bond St. Sushi, Bardot and Gigi, intends his new South Beach hybrid, Cooper Avenue, to be a sort of modern Main Street — "a 21st century food service concept" to satisfy "the needs of the Mac generation," as the website declares. I'm not entirely sure what that means, but I like most of what I've eaten here so far.
There's plenty more to look forward to. In addition to the restaurant, the nearly 10,000-square-foot space will house a deli, bakery with pizzas, late-night lounge, market and boutique, all packed neatly into the Frank Gehry-designed New World Center. The menu, printed on rough brown cardboard, is nicely limited to a couple of dozen items that appeal to a grown-up crowd, but it's confusingly organized. Savvy waiters could clear things up, but the T-shirt clad cuties here seem clueless.
Ambience: The steely, industrial-gray warehouse space has floor-to-ceiling windows and a cool vibe with a soundtrack that's sometimes cranked up a bit too high with a kitschy mix of '80s hits and current dance music. Straight-back, metal chairs could use cushions, but otherwise the place is comfy as can be with its low lighting and well-spaced tables. Red market umbrellas shade outside seating.
What Worked
- Simple but spectacular lobster salad with tender, steamed claws, a bed of frisee, snappy corn, tiny heirloom tomatoes, meaty fava beans and a fan of perfectly ripe avocado slices
- Golden and red beet salad with gently seared squares of goat cheese
- Local green salad with iridescent fennel, see-through sheaves of radish and cherry tomato halves
- Gorgeously glistening pappardelle with earthy hunks of braised lamb and shavings of Manchego cheese
- Short rib with perfect brussels sprouts and celery root
- Overseasoned, but picture perfect, slender swordfish steak with chorizo and sweet corn accompaniments
- Fantastic fiery kale sauté with garlic, bacon and chiles
- Addictively hot herby fries loaded with sprightly spices - or dangerously oversalted
- A not-too-sweet square of flourless chocolate cake with dark, bittersweet cherries
- A dense brick of carrot cake with a satisfyingly chunky texture and a rich cream cheese frosting
- A sophisticated selection of wine and beer
- Cocktails by the pop-up Broken Shaker crew
What Didn't Work
- Chewy calamari doused with what tasted like dried herbs
- Spotty, clueless service
The Big Review
- Miami restaurant review: Tamarina's Italian food starts with a splash then flounders
- Miami restaurant review: Moyé captures the foods and flavors of Puglia
- Miami restaurant review: 27 serves excellent food with a sense of place
- Miami restaurant review: Rustic classics need refinement at Brasserie Central
- Miami restaurant review: Siena Tavern's Italian food is hearty -- and pricey
- Miami restaurant review: Michelle Bernstein has another winner in Seagrape
- Miami restaurant review: The Proof is in the pasta (and pizza)
- Miami restaurant review: Finka Table & Tap fuses Cuban, Korean, Peruvian flavors in west Miami-Dade
- Miami restaurant review: Is Iron Chef Morimoto up to the South Beach challenge?
- Miami restaurant review: Drunken Dragon mostly sizzles in South Beach

The Saturdays singer Mollie King has admitted her first ever kiss didn't go well and she has tried to ''erase'' the memory from her mind.
Mollie King's first kiss was horribly awkward.
The Saturdays singer was taken aback when a boy ''pounced'' on her as an inexperienced teenager and wishes she could erase the sloppy smooch from her mind.
Asked what she'd like to erase from history, Mollie shuddered: ''The first boy I kissed, maybe that would be erased. It was so awkward, he just pounced on me. I'd erase that memory.''
The 'Gentleman' hitmaker had a similarly un-romantic experience the first time an old flame confessed his undying love for her, and wishes he had picked a more meaningful location for his declaration.
The 26-year-old blonde - who briefly dated Prince Harry - told Bliss magazine: ''The first time a boy told me he loved me, we were standing at a train station waiting for a train. That could have been a bit more romantic.''
Mollie was most recently romantically linked to pop producer Jordan Omley and she was previously in a relationship with male model David Gandy.

IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) — Taser International, the stun-gun maker emerging as a leading supplier of body cameras for police, has cultivated financial ties to police chiefs whose departments have bought the recording devices, raising a host of conflict-of-interest questions.
CHRIS TOMLINSON, Associated Press
ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — State Sen. Wendy Davis and Lt. Gov. David Dewhurst will appear in North Texas on Thursday as Davis discusses education proposals for her campaign for governor and Dewhurst announces the education agenda he wants Texas senators to pursue in 2014.
Fort Worth Democrat Davis is the front-runner for the Democratic nomination to replace Gov. Rick Perry. She'll appear at the University of Texas at Arlington to talk to teachers and school administrators at a roundtable.
Davis and Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott, the Republican frontrunner, have attacked each other over their dueling visions for what to do with Texas' schools.
But Davis has not yet unveiled her own specific proposals.
Meanwhile, Dewhurst is scheduled to address a benefit for the United Negro College Fund in Grapevine, where he is expected to make his announcement.
As lieutenant governor, Dewhurst presides over the Texas Senate and while lawmakers are not in session he charges committees to investigate issues for future legislation. The committees hold hearings and develop bills that will be considered during the 2015 legislative session.
The chairman of the Senate Education Committee is Houston Republican Dan Patrick, who is running against Dewhurst in the Republican primary. Patrick is a strong advocate of charter schools and a fierce Dewhurst critic.

Chinese become world's top tipplers of "lucky" red wine
LONDON (REUTERS) - China has overtaken France and Italy to become the world's number one consumer of red wine, although the United States (US) remains the world's biggest tippler of all types of wines, the wine and spirits trade association Vinexpo said on Tuesday.
China drank 1.865 billion bottles of red wine last year, or in trade terms 155 million nine-liter cases, contributing to a 136 per cent increase in consumption over five years.
That beat France into second place for red wine and Italy into third, Vinexpo said, based on figures compiled by the London-based International Wine and Spirit Research firm.
The reason for the massive surge in red wine drinking in China, apart from growing affluence, is the Chinese preference for red over white on cultural grounds based on the colour, said Mr Guillaume Deglise, the new CEO of Vinexpo.

2009 GMC Yukon Hybrid
Proslooks great, smooth ride, lots of power, feel good alternative to typical gas guzzling SUV ConsBattery placed unergonomically under middle row seats, rear seat worst design ever to remove, no sunroof option
A Good First Try — Overall ride is smooth and has the typical engine killing quietness of a hybrid. Versus a standard Yukon, I cannot see a discernable fuel savings though. Switching to full engine is great as power is maintained. Handling and ride are fine. Noise is good, except for battery interior noise. back up camera well designed. Radio display could be reconfigured, but nice to have central touchscreen area. GMC could've done a better job with the battery location. It is directly under the middle row seats, which means only the backs of the seats fold up or down. This is versus a standard Yukon, where the entire seats fold into the floorboard. The third row seats were re-designed with a pull out handle, which was designed to make it easy to pull them out, but it takes enormous effort to remove them. This reduces the overall storage in the truck by half of that in the standard Yukon. Having owned the standard and hybrid Yukon, GMC knows trucks, but seems to have taken a step back in overall design to accomodate the hybrid crowd. Having said this, the truck still delivers the power and looks that are a tradition to the Yukon. Primary Use: Family transportation

2009 GMC Yukon SLT2
Prosbuilt tough, quality truck, comfortable, stylish, low maintenance Consit's an SUV so it takes a lot of gas, however, FlexFuel is cheaper than regular gasoline so that's a plus
Best Automobile I've Owned To Date! — at first i was hesitant to get an SUV, considering it is just me, but after owning a Yukon, I don't think I will ever go back to a car! this vehicle is built to last - I am sure whoever buys it will have it for a very long time. Primary Use: Commuting to work |

2009 GMC Yukon SLT1
ProsSOOOO much room! ConsLikes the gas station. :)
Safe, Comfortable And Roomy Family Vehicle. — Loaded with room. Awesome on long trips. Effortless towing. I feel very safe when in my Yukon, even in rainy weather. Harder to come by than a Tahoe, and well worth the search. Body style is more sleek than a Tahoe, also. Best large SUV on the market, in my opinion. Primary Use: Family transportation |
2009 GMC Yukon SLT2 4WD
Prosthe overall look of the car Consgas hog

Winning without a big fastball
Four pitchers who have found other ways to win while lacking velocity
As part of the new era of pitching, baseball has ushered in a wave of young fireballers who dominate through velocity. Aroldis Chapman, Stephen Strasburg and even unheralded arms like Kansas City's Kelvin Herrera routinely hit 100 mph with their fastballs, and baseball has never been so populated with as many hard throwers as there are today.
However, on the other end of the spectrum, there is a group of pitchers making a splash in the big leagues with stuff that would fit in better at your local high school. Tommy Milone (Oakland), Mike Fiers (Milwaukee), Carlos Villanueva (Toronto) and Scott Diamond (Minnesota) are all establishing themselves as big-league starters and rewarding their organizations for taking a shot on a guy without a big fastball. Milone's success after being just the extra guy added into the Gio Gonzalez trade is one of the main reasons why the A's are surprise contenders, while Diamond, Fiers and Villanueva have all been pleasant surprises on pitching staffs that found themselves desperate for reliable midseason pitching.
As a group, their fastballs have averaged just 88.5 mph this year, with Diamond being the hardest thrower with an average velocity of 89.5 mph on his fastball. However, they are all very different pitchers and succeeding in very different ways. Diamond is a sinkerball specialist who generates a ton of ground balls, while Fiers is one of the most extreme fly ball pitchers in baseball. Milone is a control specialist who never walks anyone, while Villanueva has the 11th-highest walk rate of any pitcher in baseball with at least 60 innings pitched this year. Despite the stereotype of every low velocity starter being cut from the same mold, these four are all pretty different.
Of these four low velocity hurlers, is there one whose skill set portends success more than the others? Let's take a look at some historical comparisons for both. (For our purposes here, BB%=walk rate, K%=strikeout rate and GB%=ground ball rate.)

CCC Accommodations: A Great Place To "Rough-It"
These small adobe buildings were built in the Valley of Fire to accommodate members of the Civilian Conservation Corps while working in the area. This is not were you would be camping. It is only a "ruins" site.
However, there are camping sites here and if this is the type of place you like to visit, look into what they offer.
I have not camped here, not much of a camper really, but those of you who like the desert and like camping, the camp grounds would be a unique place to stay.
The Civilian Conservation Corps assisted in the excavation of the sites and the construction of the museum building of The Lost City of Overton.
Valley of Fire State Park is where the camp grounds are located. The contact information is:

Full text not available in this repository. (Request a copy from the Strathclyde author)Abstract
This paper presents a new method to model and control the shape of the output probability density functions for dynamic stochastic systems subjected to arbitrary bounded random input. A new rational model is proposed to approximate the output probability density function of the system. This is then followed by the design of a novel nonlinear controller, which guarantees the monotonic decreasing of the functional norm of the difference between the measured probability density function and its target distribution. This leads to a desired tracking performance for the output probability density function. A simple example is utilized to demonstrate the use of the proposed modelling and control algorithm and encouraging results have been obtained.

Pigs in a blanket? Cucumber and cream cheese tea sandwiches (crusts removed, naturally). little triangles of grilled cheese sandwiches (toddler crack)
Toddlers generally like to dip things - maybe carrots and red pepper hummus-- sliced apples and greek yoghurt with cinnamon and vanilla. Anything where the ingredients are easily identified and don't touch.
Anything skewer-like is an option. As simple as olives on a toothpick (or even cut straw), cheese and grapes or banana and strawberries. Another option could be chicken strips for dipping (kids LOVE to dip just like lloreen said)
I highly recommend drbabs's cheese crispettes recipe http://food52.com/recipes.... I made these for my daughter's birthday party last year and they were a huge hit with all of the kids.
mini-meatballs are fun and often enjoyed. yogurt sundaes are v popular with my boys: yogurt/fruit/granola type of thing...
Quesadillas, you can hide lots of healthy things in there.
Mini chicken cordon bleu, these are great for adults too.
Mini meatballs
Blanched veggies with dip, many toddlers have a hard time with raw veg
Fruit kabobs with yogurt dip, healthy dessert
Japanese style veggie pancakes, again, fully of healthy stuff all hidden in a favorite food.
All of these are good for adults and can be made ahead if time and warmed at party time.

Please log in or register to answer this question. 1 Answer 3 votes Best answer It's only in Black and White 2 so you can fuse Zekrom/Reshiram with Kyurem to make Black/White -Kyurem. You can fuse it when you use the Gene Wedge on it, and on Zekrom or Reshiram, then in the end, you get either Black-Kyurem or White-Kyurem! ...which are activated by using the Gene Wedge on it and either Zekrom or Reshiram, resulting in a fusion that removes Zekrom or Reshiram from the party until the fusion is undone. It will then become Black Kyurem (with Zekrom) or White Kyurem (with Reshiram). -Bulbepedia Hope This Helped :D answered Jul 8, 2012 by Dr.Flame selected Jul 8, 2012 by StealthScyther99 Thank you so much! no problem :D Please log in or register to add a comment.

10 Stocks Legendary Value Investor Benjamin Graham Would Buy Now
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Out of the multitude of companies, which ones would legendary value investor Benjamin Graham buy today?
We've compiled ten great companies that fit the ModernGraham criteria, based on Benjamin Graham's methods. The companies in this list pass our rigorous requirements and are undervalued by the market. (To find more companies that meet these tests, be sure to check out the ModernGraham Valuation Index, a list of all companies we cover.)
Here's a slideshow of outstanding companies that Benjamin Graham would buy today!
1. Apple (AAPL)
Apple is an excellent company for enterprising investors -- research-oriented investors willing to take a bit of risk. The stock only fails one screen: the current ratio requirement. The company does not qualify for the more conservative defensive investor, due to its low current ratio, lack of a sufficiently long dividend record and high price-to-book ratio. Enterprising investors should feel very comfortable proceeding with further research into the company and its competitors, including Microsoft (MSFT) and Google (GOOG) (GOOGL). As for valuation, Apple appears to be significantly undervalued. It has grown its EPSmg (our own take on normalized earnings) from $9.22 to an estimated $37.86 for 2014, a growth rate that far outpaces the market's implied estimate of only 4.14% earnings growth. We return an estimate of intrinsic value that is much higher than the market price. The stock is simply a good deal.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

Tosh, when I get my PC back from repair I'll do some designs and send them to you, sorry I can't help before that!
I have it to the point where I could not have it depend on BuddyPress any more. My end goal is to have it show on a post or page just by entering in a shortcode for example:
So with that said, I want to redesign it so it would fit in a normal post width if need be. So a possibility is to do tabs. Or show and hide things with clicks.
But multiple lotteries won't be active on the same post or page. They would be on separate pages / posts. No point in loading all that up if most are closed for business ;)
Some ideas for tabs in no particular order:
Donate Points | Social Entires | All Entries | How To Enter
Then above all the tabs we could have this info along with the image banner. Which we make for all giveaway posts now.
With some text below it about the giveaway.

Real-time seismic monitoring and functionality assessment of a building
- By:
- M. Celebi
- Edited by:
- Kundu T.
- More information: Publisher Index Page (via DOI)
This paper presents recent developments and approaches (using GPS technology and real-time double-integration) to obtain displacements and, in turn, drift ratios, in real-time or near real-time to meet the needs of the engineering and user community in seismic monitoring and assessing the functionality and damage condition of structures. Drift ratios computed in near real-time allow technical assessment of the damage condition of a building. Relevant parameters, such as the type of connections and story structural characteristics (including geometry) are used in computing drifts corresponding to several pre-selected threshold stages of damage. Thus, drift ratios determined from real-time monitoring can be compared to pre-computed threshold drift ratios. The approaches described herein can be used for performance evaluation of structures and can be considered as building health-monitoring applications.Additional Publication Details
