Magic's fate now rests with Howard
Two months ago, Magic center Dwight Howard sat at a podium at the Amway Center, with CEO Alex Martins to his right and GM Otis Smith to his left, and reveled in nearly an hour of praise for his decision to waive his early termination option and stay in Orlando for one more season.
NBA FINALSGet full coverage of the Thunder-Heat showdown at our NBA Finals page.
Shortly after the announcement, head coach Stan Van Gundy blindsided Howard, the team, the fans and the media when he deviated from the team's pro-Howard script and told reporters in no uncertain terms that his star center — the man upon whom so much praise was heaped just weeks earlier — had asked to have him fired.
It was the beginning of the end for Van Gundy, who essentially signed his own pink slip during the brief post-practice interlude, and now, in the wake of a 4-1 first-round playoff exit at the hands of the Indiana Pacers, the team has made the inevitable official.
The Magic fired Van Gundy on Monday afternoon in a move that had nothing to do with basketball and everything to do with the unlikely proposition of keeping Howard in Central Florida. The team, desperate to stay in their star's good graces with the future of the franchise on the line, tried their best to make some sense of a situation and a decision that defies all logic.
"Stan is one of the best strategic coaches in the current NBA, but the job requires more than that," Martins said, this time at the podium all by himself. "It's time for new leadership and a new voice with a different approach for building a championship operation."
But if you read Orlando's press release notifying media of the move, you'd wonder what, exactly, was wrong with the status quo.
The Magic dedicated more than 250 words to Van Gundy's accomplishments during his five-year tenure in Orlando, essentially highlighting all of the reasons he should have stayed — and all the reasons some other team will be incredibly lucky to have him.
LEAD THE WAYPhil and Red top our list of the 10 best coaches in NBA history.
Van Gundy made the playoffs in each year with the Magic and won at least 50 games in each full regular season. The last 50-win season and playoff series win in Orlando before Van Gundy took over came in 1995-96, when Brian Hill was in his first go-around with the Magic and Howard was 10 years old.
Overall, Van Gundy was 259-135 in the regular season, won three division titles and 31 playoff games — both more than every previous Magic coach combined — and reached the franchise's second-ever NBA Finals in 2009. Since Van Gundy took the reins, Orlando had the fourth-most wins in the NBA, trailing only the Lakers, Celtics and Spurs.
But that, apparently, was not enough to keep his job.
"Making the playoffs is not good enough and getting knocked out in the first round the last two years is unacceptable," Martins said, ignoring the decade-plus of futility that led to Van Gundy's hiring. "We simply came to the conclusion that we are not on the right track."
" . . . (Stan's) as good a coach as I've ever been around, but there are other parts to the job in terms of relationships, how you go about those relationships, relating to players and relating to everyone. Strategically, we may not be able to find anybody better, but there's another part of the job."
The "other part" of the job — at least in Orlando — is keeping Howard happy, and in the end, that's where Van Gundy, who doesn't kowtow to anyone, screwed up.
Howard doesn't want to be pushed around by the high expectations of a demanding coach or to be exposed as a whiner, Van Gundy wasn't afraid to do either of those things, and in the end he pushed Howard's buttons one time too many. So the Magic fired the best coach in franchise history because they didn't like him — or, more precisely, because Howard didn't like him — and that will remain the case regardless of how Orlando tries to spin the narrative.
"I don't think it's a surprise that there were challenges in the relationship between Dwight and Stan, but let me say, in no uncertain terms, that Dwight did not want to be part of this decision," Martins said, choosing his words with the utmost care. "He did not want to make this decision; he never asked me to make this decision. Yes, their relationship was a challenge, but Dwight Howard never asked me to fire Stan Van Gundy."
Regardless of what the Magic say, though, this wasn't a move that had to be made because Van Gundy was some sort of generally unlikable grump. Van Gundy is a good man, and there is no evidence of widespread contempt for Stan in the locker room. If there is, it's certainly no wider than the chasm Howard created between himself and his fellow teammates as he dragged them by the hair all season.
There was no complaining about Van Gundy's personality or rocky relationships with players when Howard still had a few years left on his contract and they were playing in the Finals three years ago. And Van Gundy was the same outspoken, back-breaking, hard-nosed coach then that he is today.
The only thing that's different is that Smith blew up the roster three times — he and the team also decided to part ways Monday — Howard was a selfish, petulant, waffling baby for a season, and then he got hurt, and the team, predictably, struggled as a result. Van Gundy is a great coach, but, goodness, he's not a miracle worker.
The most potentially embarrassing part about all this, of course, is that even though Martins and the Magic fired Van Gundy at Howard's behest — or at the very least, at the urging of someone else, who was acting on behalf of Howard — they still don't even know yet if it's enough to keep Howard in town.
"Dwight Howard has been a critical part of this franchise for many, many years, and we've been in discussions with him and his representatives about his future with us, but I think the decision's up to Dwight now," Martins said Monday. "I think Dwight needs to decide where his future lies."
Back in March, when Howard agreed to forgo his early termination option, he thanked the Magic for "rolling the dice" by not trading him, and now they've taken it a step further. By taking the risk and firing Van Gundy, the Magic have lost a great coach. Now it's on Howard to make the Magic's gamble pay off.

This refreshingly simple if somewhat gargantuan house of worship was consecrated in 2002. The cathedral is built using a combined triangle and circle shape, representing the Trinity and God's Eternity respectively, and features a relatively plain interior. The stained glass windows at the front feature both Mother Teresa and Pope John Paul II. A range of classical concerts are held inside the building throughout the year.

Norwich City striker Grant Holt is delighted for Glenn Murray over his Premier League promotion with Crystal Palace.
Murray has much more work ahead of him over the coming months than his Palace team-mates, after a cruciate knee ligament injury suffered in the Championship play-off semi-finals ruled him out until December.
"I'm sure Glenn is absolutely delighted and hopefully he'll get back from his recovery quickly and I'll see him on the pitch," Holt told the Pink 'Un.
"I know where I've come from but to look at Glenn, who's five months away from playing in the best league in the world, I'm excited for him and in my opinion he'll do very well when he's in it.
"I'm lucky enough to know it is hard to do this progression when you're that little bit older. And when you do that, you do the work and then get that reward when you go to places like Old Trafford, all those lads will love it."

Night Out Against Crime Rallies Draw Local Officials
The National Night Out Against Crime included more than 200 community gatherings in New Orleans. City leaders and criminal justice officials attended a kick-off rally in Tremé.
New Orleans Mayor Mitch Landrieu says fighting crime remains a top priority for his administration.
"We have the U.S. Attorney, we have the FBI, the ATF, the DEA. We got everybody. State representatives and out there we have the community. And as I said in my inaugural speech, we have to work hard together to change the culture of crime and destruction in the city of New Orleans to a culture of life. We have to become a city of peace."
U.S. Attorney Jim Letten says residents must be involved in fighting crime.
"This city belongs to you. It doesn't belong to a tiny group of criminals who have to turn tail and hide and run when you're out. It belongs to you. It's yours for the taking. Keep it, and let's work together to keep it. God bless you."
Police Superintendent Ronal Serpas says officers planned to attend all of the community gatherings organized throughout the city with CrimeStoppers.

Partying isn't a skill that comes naturally to everyone, apparently.
It's summer time again, the sun is out, the weather is warm and the parties are frequent.
Nothing can put a damper on a social function quite like the dreaded party foul.
Last week one of BroBible's favorite comedians, Rob Riggle, swung by the office to chat it up about the Bud Light Hotel coming to New York City for the Super Bowl.
One would think that with all the parties celebrities are required to attend that they'd know the rules and wouldn't be susceptible to party fouls.

What do you hope to accomplish as a member of the PacSun USASA Team? As a member of the PacSun USASA Team, I hope to progress my riding even further. Every time I get on snow, all I want to do is learn something new. With the support of PacSun, I will be able to travel and compete more, as well as be part of a respected network of athletes that I have admired for years. Being on a team with riders who I have looked up to for so long would drive me to become a better snowboarder than ever before.
Who inspires you to greatness? Why? Obama is definitely the person who inspires me to greatness. I respect him for his courage to step up in a time when the country really needs someone. I support most of the changes he proposes, and have faith that he can help the country though any hard times that come. He is taking on challenges that most people would hide from, and I find his messages powerful and his actions inspirational. When I am afraid of something, I try to put it into perspective. Hitting a bigger jump is nothing compared to fixing a fearful nation.
When you need courage before a contest or photo shoot, who do you turn to? Why? When I need courage and support, I turn to my coach Curtis Bradley. Curtis knows me and my abilities in snowboarding almost better than I do, and he has an incredible ability to make me confident in myself. I have a deep and profound respect for him both as a person and a coach. When he believes in me, I know he means it which helps me accomplish whatever goal I am trying to achieve. If I am not successful at first, he sticks with me through it all until I have that certain trick nailed. Curtis has helped me through the hardest of times, and I owe a significant part of my successes to him
What is your favorite brand at PacSun right now? My favorite brand is currently Nollie
What item of clothing at PacSun is on your wishlist? The Nollie Twist Stripe hoodie in white

Literacy Impacts Us All
When adults learn to read, write, or do basic math, their transformations are nothing short of remarkable. They can find and keep jobs, enjoy better health and educate their children. Their new skills enable them to dream big, do more and move forward. And that means society can move forward, too.
We Need Your Help
Our programs depend on volunteers and donations to allow us to touch the lives of countless neighbors across Beaufort County. Your gifts — of time, money and advocacy — help us deliver the critical programs that empower adults and enrich our community.
Our Events
Sign up now! We're seeking compassionate and enthusiastic volunteers to tutor adults on Hilton Head Island. Tutors are also needed for a new family literacy program set to begin on the island this fall. Two special tutor information sessions will be held from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. on Wednesday, June 3, and Wednesday, June 17, at our Hilton Head Island Learning Center at 4 Oak Park Dr. No prior teaching, tutoring experience, or knowledge of another language is necessary – only a desire to make a difference in someone's life. Both daytime and evening opportunities are available. For more information on becoming a tutor or to sign-up for one of the June tutor sessions, contact Mike Powers at 843.681.6655.

The 1961 film "The Guns of Navarone" was filmed on the Greek island of Rhodes, and studio work took place at Shepperton Studios in England, according to Turner Classic Movies. A 55-foot boat named "Maria" was rented from local fishermen for scenes shot on the Aegean Sea.
Location shooting kept the film's initial two-million-dollar budget on the rise. Certain scenes were shot in areas that could only be accessed by riding a donkey. One-thousand Greek soldiers were hired to play the German army in the film. Battleships were also rented from the Greek Navy for filming shots of the British Navy sailing the Aegean. Anthony Quinn, one of the film's stars, enjoyed filming on the island of Rhodes so much he purchased property there. The government renamed an inlet "Anthony Quinn Bay" in recognition of this fact.
The guns of navarone was filmed near Konica labs backdrop in Spain.
Associated British Elstree Studios, Shenley Road, Borehamwood, Hertfordshire, England, UK
The Guns of Navarone is a 1961 film based on the 1957 novel of the same name about World War II by Scottish thriller writer Alistair MacLean. It stars Gregory Peck, David Niven and
The guns where located on the Greek island of Navarone. The Isle, however,

Utah Officials Alarmed Over Bullfrogs
ROOSEVELT, Utah – Utah wildlife officials are alarmed over the presence of American bullfrogs. Acting on a tip from a golfer, biologists confirmed the frogs were in a pond at Roosevelt Golf Course. They have moved elsewhere in the Uinta Basin in eastern Utah, 150 miles east of Salt Lake City.
"One of our biologists recently found one in the Uinta Mountains, just inside the national Forest Service boundary," said Trina Hedrick of the Division of Wildlife Resources. "This isn't good news."
The American bullfrog is native to the eastern U.S. It is illegal to possess or transport one in Utah, Hedrick said Thursday.
"Bullfrogs are voracious predators," she said in a statement. "They'll eat almost anything, including snakes, worms, insects, crustaceans, fish, frogs, toads and salamanders."
Small mammals could be turned into a meal, too.
"Moving just two bullfrogs could expand their range and increase the risks to our native species," Hedrick said.
The bullfrogs have contributed to the decline of the leopard frog in Arizona and other frogs, toads and salamanders in California, Hedrick said.
They can live as long as nine years, longer in captivity, she said.

Any input would be appreciated.

This analysis shows that REST expression increases significantly at 6 dpf, a time point correlated with reductions in skeletal muscle expression in NRSE-containing enhancer trap lines. Relative expression analyses were performed using 2-ΔΔCT methods; the experiment was repeated a total of three times, with averages and standard deviations shown per time point.

Day One: Friday, January 11, 2008
I had Friday off, so I hung out with a friend of mine in the parks. Thrax would be joining us later on in the day. I strapped in Stitch and we were ready to go!
We arrived at the parking structure around 9:30 A.M and i caught sight of this:
A banner advertising for Pixar Play Parade
It was almost 10 AM so we went into DCA for park opening. As soon as the park opened, we headed towards Screamin'. On the way there, I saw a sign:
So, apparently, they split Paradise Pier in half, so you have to go around in order to get to the other side.
We rode Screamin:
On the way out of DCA, I caught sight of Flick and Atta, so I grabbed a photo with them.
Upon entering DL, I saw something that I didn't notice before:
So, on our way to Space Mountain we go!
When we exited Space Mountain, we met up with Thrax. We cut through Fantasyland and saw Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum coming our way. They positioned themselves on opposite sides of an abandoned churro cart. It was a funny sight to see when one was trying to purchase a non existent churro from the other, lol!!!
The Tea Cups were covered in tarp.
Thrax wanted to go on Pirates' Lair, and we did.
We took a picture with Jack:
Jack Sparrow examining Stitch, lol,
My friend, Sparky, and Jack:
We entered Dead Man's Grotto;
Rest of Pirates' Lair":
Went on Splash Mountain:
*Memory hazy, please stand by.........*
On our way through the castle, i saw Pinochioo and Gepetto near the wishing well and I wanted a picture with them. Pinochioo was being a bad wooden boy,
I manged to get a group photo:
I made our way into dca to catch the 1:50 P.M performance of "Aladdin" because Thrax hasn't seen it yet.
Before the show:
After the show, I caught Aladdin outside. I asked how he got out so fast and he said by Carpet!
Then, we past by the stage in the HPB and saw Sorceror Mickey and I had to get him.
Going back into DL, I saw White Rabbit, Mad Hatter, The Queen Of Hearts, and Alice were out at the Plaza Pavillion before the parade. I went to get pictures with them, but it didn't turn out well then I hopped that it would be.
We rode BTMMR.
Then, we headed over to Indy, but it was down, but opened up about 5 minutes later and went on that.
Afterwards, we got on Jungle. when we got off, we just heard that DisneyIPresume just arrived at the parking structure so we waited for him to arrive. While waiting, I grab a snack at the Bengal Barbeque. when I got my order, I bumped into Wolfy and Wolfette.
Soon, DisneyIPresume arrived, so Thrax walked through Tarzan's Treehouse while we waited.
It was almost 5:30 P.M so we headed towards the Hub to wait for Rex 22 to join us.
When he arrived, we grabbed some dinner at the Pizza Port.
Thrax went to grab his jacket from his car, while we headed to DCA to hold spots for the Electrical Parade.
Then, we changed our mind to go sit for fireworks.
Stitch was tired!!
After the fireworks, we headed to Nemo to wait in line.
When we got off Nemo, it was close to closing time, so basically, we called it a night!!
End Of Day One
To Be Continued: Day Two

BOISE -- Garbage truck drivers see a lot on their routes. But on one freezing day this winter, a driver for Republic Services in Boise saw someone in need of help.
Tim Lockwood jumped into action right away, and is now being called a hero for his watchful eye.
It all started when Lockwood noticed a woman on the ground in her driveway.
I went out and pulled in the garbage pail, and was within one foot of my garage, said Helen Kelly.
That's when Kelly slipped on some ice and hurt her arm.
I couldn't get up, she said. I had no leverage with my arm and I started to call for help and I realized there was not a soul home in the neighborhood. It was very quiet.
Kelly wasn't sure when she would get help, and get out of the frigid weather.
At the same time, Lockwood was on his garbage truck route in the area.
The minute he came around that corner, I started to yell and wave with the one hand that I could.
Thanks to Lockwood's keen eye, he saw Kelly and jumped out of the truck to help.
He stopped and picked me up, took me to the house called the ambulance and waited until the EMT people came and then he left, said Kelly.
Kelly says Lockwood is her own personal hero who was in the right place at the right time.
I was just lucky that he came around at that time, because if he had gone by, no one would have come along for probably hours later.
About a week after the fall, Lockwood went to visit Kelly at the hospital.
Her family is so thankful for Lockwood's actions.
Just grateful to live in Boise where these things happen and people help, said Kelly's daughter Leslie.
Lockwood says he was just doing what anyone would in the same situation.

NY attorney general sues state Senate leader
ALBANY, N.Y. The majority leader of New York's Senate is accused of siphoning $14 million from his government-funded clinic in the Bronx for lavish restaurant meals, trips to Las Vegas and his own campaign, according to a civil lawsuit announced Tuesday by Attorney General Andrew Cuomo.
The suit filed against Sen. Pedro Espada Jr. by fellow Democrat Cuomo covers five years of spending, the last two of which Espada spent as a senator representing the Bronx.
The suit also names 19 other current and former officials of Espada's Comprehensive Community Development Corp., known locally as Soundview and operating on about $12 million annually, mostly from state and federal government funds.
Espada refused to comment on the specifics of the suit, except to call it a "litany of mischaracterizations and falsehoods," and say that he would address the issues in court. Espada also accused Cuomo of wiretapping his home and of using the lawsuit against him as political payback for the Bronx politician's role in a Senate coup last summer.
"These actions are politics as usual," Espada said. "A steamroller approach to using the power of one's office, an office ... whose purpose is to protect the people and not to make unfounded assertions and accusations."
He also accused Cuomo of encouraging the partisan political coup - which froze New York state government last summer for more than a month - just to harm Gov. David Paterson's chance in the fall election. Cuomo is widely expected to run for governor this fall but has not announced his candidacy.
A spokesman for Cuomo declined to comment on Espada's accusations.
Cuomo said Espada diverted charitable assets to himself, relatives, friends and his political operation.
Senate Democrats plan to review Cuomo's case and Espada's Senate payroll, which Cuomo said included relatives, friends and others also hired by, or associated with, Soundview. Despite his title, Espada is not the top leader of the conference.
"I find it disingenuous to demonize my family simply for working for a business that I founded when I was 22 years old," Espada said.
"This is just one more example of the need for campaign finance law enforcement," said Barbara Bartoletti of the League of Women Voters. "As alleged, it's an egregious use of campaign dollars and taxpayer dollars."
John Conklin of the state Board of Elections said much of Cuomo's findings appears to be possible violations of tax law by the nonprofit, rather than violations of election law by the campaign. He said board attorneys are working with Cuomo.
Cuomo said the dealing included a severance package for Espada worth $9 million that was guaranteed and would send the clinic into bankruptcy if it's paid out. Cuomo said the CEO and the Soundview board, which he said is "packed" with Espada's friends and relatives, approved the 2005 transaction.
"Siphoning money from a charity would be egregious under any circumstances, but the fact that this was orchestrated by the state Senate majority leader makes it especially reprehensible," Cuomo said. "In New York, no one is above the law, and this suit should finally make that clear to Senator Espada."

In the past five years, nearly 51 schools — most of them privately-owned — have closed in the district, and officials expect a few more to add to the list when schools reopen at the end of May.
According to the Sarva Shiksha Abhiyaan (SSA), 35 out of the 51 schools closed are government unaided, 15 are government aided and five are government schools. However, they clarify that three government schools — for example, the one at Kana near Surathkal — have been 'shifted' while only the ones at Kapikad and Malavoor have been closed.
A major reason for closure, says N. Shivaprakash, SSA Deputy Project Coordinator, is the reduction in student strength and "saturation" of schools in the district.
In the past 10 years, nearly 100 schools have opened, while, student enrolment has reduced from 3.14 lakh in 2001-02 to 2.59 lakh in 2013-14. "That is, while 10 schools are opened every year, enrolment sees a dip of more than 4,000 students," says Mr. Shivaprakash. Moreover, he says, access to schools — that is, schools within 3 km — has gradually reached 100 per cent, leading to immense competition. It isn't surprising that more than two-thirds of the schools closed are in Mangalore taluk, he says.
Having seen their student strength drop from 90 (from classes 1 to 7) nearly a decade ago to just 12 now, V.K. Sharma, Principal of Muliya Thimmappayya Memorial High School near Vittal — established in 1995 — says the school had no choice but to close its primary wing to cut down losses of Rs. 5 lakh annually.
"Buses are plenty now, and students don't mind travelling out of the area for English-medium schools… Moreover, there is a belief among the economically backward that private school students will not get government benefits such as Bhagyalakshmi scheme," he says.
Similarly, aided schools — such as Hindu Upper Primary School in Kankanady — have suffered due to bad infrastructure and inability of the administration to reach out to the community, say officials of the Education Department.Government schools
However, in all the gloom in private schools, government schools fare better: though 20 are facing closure (with fewer than 10 students), only two schools have been closed so far, say officials at the Deputy Director of Public Instruction.

(Bardus Luteolus Avis Globus)
Mostly useless. That's probably the best description for the Mugball. Every once in a while these yellow furry ball-like creatures fall from the sky. How they got up there or why they fall down, no-one knows. Mugballs can't fly, though on their way down they flap their little wings like a madman on fire. They are fairy rigid and survive the landing with no problems whatsoever. Since the body of the Mugball is way too heavy for its legs it can't walk and simply sits around until it dies. The Mugball don't seem to be bothered about starving and make no effort at all to gather food or look for shelter. They usually die within a few weeks.
Worried animal activists tried feeding them, and the Mugballs happily ate all the food that was presented to them. Even when well fed and taken care of, the Gumball remained totally inert and the animal lovers gave up after a while.
People tried eating them. The taste of Mugball meat was compared to eating a three week old sock that has been thoroughly worn. People tried using their fur for various purposes, but when the Mugball dies it loses its hair almost instantly. All in all the Mugballs remain quite the mistery, and whenever they fall from the sky, people quietly ignore them and hope they go away.

It came from below, made a quick turn, and came down from above.
The topic brings to mind Evil Dead II... the hero from the sky... and an old computergame called 'It came from the desert'.
Hm... so many choices... what will I bring down upon this round? I'll go out and invoke some thunder, while I think about it.

September 24th, 2006 #15
This creature has only just been discovered in a remote part of the british countryside. Due to its very nature it is understandable that it has remained inconspicuous for so long.
Two years after its offical discovery it was named the Kawabunga Head hunter due to its unusal cry as its lets go of the cloud it has lived in most of its life (feeding on passing birds.) And drops towards the ground using its arms to steer in hope of landing on its favourite prey - balding men. It has exellent eyesight and so often hits its target.
When its lands on the mans head it wraps its very strong front limbs over the eyes of its prey and stabs its tounge into the mans skull, its tounge contains a toxin that knocks its prey out almost immediatly. Not wanting to kill the man it only takes small bits of brain, resulting in the man waking up several hours later not being able to remember a thing and what most people would describe as a hangover.
Once it has fed on human brain matter it will find a water source and lay its eggs or release sperm. Once these have been fertilized by a member of the opposite sex they will bind to a water molecule and eventually get evaporated into a cloud. The adult then dies and decomposes completely within a matter of hours.

I like all these ideas in this forum! Like Michael Jaecks, I've got to admit to having the problem of being addicted, heh Anyhow, I did a bunch of quick doodles and have decided to try out a midget tree dwelling ant-eater that extends its ultra long tongue down from the branches to lap up a tasty morsel...
Okay, so after Moai showed me that the tree-dwelling anteater already exists I've decided to change my idea a little. After a bunch of sketches, this is what I've come up with! It looks pretty mean instead of cartoony so it's what my attempt this round will be.
SonoΦΦΦun! Things are just too crazy for me for the next few months so I'm going to have to pull out of these competitions for the next few months. I would like to wish everyone the very best though, and to give my word that I will return with a vengeance, possibly as late as next year. Thanks to everyone for the words of advice and inspiration here at Concept Art, as cheesy as it sounds, this place has seriously done wonders for me

These winged reptiles are highly aggressive and not very intelligent. They can attack without warning and destroy a small village in a single fiery pass. It's only through the tools of domestication that man can hope to compete. If a wild pack should migrate to your region, it cannot be allowed to patrol freely, lest you become prey from above. Best to take control of a dragon and turn it's destructive power on your enemies.

Hippo Skydivérius
A strange twist of genetic confusion! Some hippo's have started growing wings! Ofcourse this creature's weight is no match to the puny wings that have grown out of it's back. Any attempt to fly therefor ends in a smallscale local earthquake (for some reason they got startled in there instinct too). Although local governement advices wearing safety helmets in the surroundings of breeding places of the Hippo Skydivérius, it is best to avoid any cliffside, hill or even human constructions like bridges. Normally this is a shy creature, but when the adrenaline rush, as a reaction on seeing an elevated position get's hold of the beast, one is better to take a serious distance between him and the Hippo Skydivérius.
Warning: Do not enter Hippo Skydivérius' territories in mating season. The males intend to impress female Hippo's with their 'flying' skills. Nothing is safe in this period. Especially not Range Rover and Defender like jeeps, which are exactly big enough to be a good starterspoint for jumping down of.

Avian Crapper
Dear Friends,
I think this is my first C.O.W. since the orange sea leviathan. Hope you guys get a kick out it!
The Avian Crapper commonly known as the Stool Pigeon is one of Australias most notorious dangerous animals. In spring it becomes fiercely territorial defending its clutch of small brown eggs with a unique dive bomb attack. Up to 90% of Australian have suffered an attack from the native bird, with direct hits to the eye not being uncommon.
Plumage may vary from light tan to almost black and the bird is renown for its' loud and sometimes melodic song, often heard first thing in the morning.
"If a man be gracious and courteous to strangers, it shows he is a citizen of the world."

Hm, vague topic, let's see if I can think of something that goes beyond worm-from-a-dark-cloud (No offense Dominus, I love your's).
OK, here are some thumbs, sorted chronologically. Concentrating on the creatures environment first, then developing ideas of the creatures attack-method. The last one is a first draft, may change completely. The idea is to greate a creature that the victim won't recognize as a creature but as part of the environment (Giger's aliens, for example). But what I got now is too mainstream. I'll think about it, more tomorrow (hopefully).
EDIT: My mind's empty. What's the deadline again

Telecom has provided a teaser around its planned internet
television product ''Lightbox'', Forsyth Barr broker Andrew
Rooney says.
A Telecom hardware failure that left many customers without
access to call centres, website, and other commercial
resources has now been fixed.
About 500 Telecom customers in the lower South Island have
had their ultrafast broadband service cut for the second time
in two weeks after the flooded Kakanui River severed a fibre
cable near Maheno.
Telecom has revealed its plan to provide movies and TV shows
to subscribers over the internet.
Telecom is changing its name to Spark and later this year
will launch ShowmeTV, a new internet television business, the
company announced yesterday.
Telecom's profit announcement yesterday was a good reality
check for the company with pressures from the legacy business
continuing to drag on it, Craigs Investment Partners broker
Chris Timms said.
Telecom plans to change its name later this year to Spark,
and move into the internet television market.
Hackers are using New Zealanders' email accounts to send out
thousands of spam messages, and Telecom admits it still
doesn't know the cause or scale of the problem.
On a normal Wanaka day, Telecom's mobile phone system handles
25,000 text messages.
Telecom's sale of its Australian business unit AAPT for $494
million is a good price and positive move for the company as
it looks to focus more on New Zealand, say analysts.
