Leo Borlock follows the unspoken rule at Mica Area High School: don't stand out--under any circumstances! Then Stargirl arrives at Mica High and everything changes--for Leo and for the entire school. After 15 years of home schooling, Stargirl bursts into tenth grade in an explosion of color and a clatter of ukulele music, enchanting the Mica student body.But the delicate scales of popularity suddenly shift, and Stargirl is shunned for everything that makes her different. Somewhere in the midst of Stargirl's arrival and rise and fall, normal Leo Borlock has tumbled into love with her. In a celebration of nonconformity, Jerry Spinelli weaves a tense, emotional tale about the fleeting, cruel nature of popularity--and the thrill and inspiration of first love.
"A magical and heartbreaking tale."—Kirkus Reviews, StarredAn ALA Top Ten Best Book for Young AdultsA Publishers Weekly Choice of the Year's Best BooksFrom the Paperback edition.
Growing up, Jerry Spinelli was really serious about baseball. He played for the Green Sox Little League team in his hometown of Norristown, Pennsylvania, and dreamed of one day playing for the major leagues, preferably as shortstop for the New York Yankees.One night during high school, Spinelli watched the football team win an exciting game against one of the best teams in the country. While everyone else rode about town tooting horns in celebration, Spinelli went home and wrote "Goal to Go," a poem about the game's defining moment, a goal-line stand. His father submitted the poem to the Norristown Times–Herald and it was featured in the middle of the sports page a few days later. He then traded in his baseball bat for a pencil, because he knew that he wanted to become a writer.After graduating from Gettysburg College with an English degree, Spinelli worked full time as a magazine editor. Every day on his lunch hour, he would close his office door and craft novels on yellow magazine copy paper. He wrote four adult novels in 12 years of lunchtime writing, but none of these were accepted for publication. When he submitted a fifth novel about a 13-year-old boy, adult publishers once again rejected his work, but children's publishers embraced it. Spinelli feels that he accidentally became an author of children's books. Spinelli's hilarious books entertain both children and young adults. Readers see his life in his autobiography Knots in My Yo-Yo String, as well as in his fiction. Crash came out of his desire to include the beloved Penn Relays of his home state of Pennsylvania in a book, while Maniac Magee is set in a fictional town based on his own hometown.When asked if he does research for his writing, Spinelli says: "The answer is yes and no. No, in the sense that I seldom plow through books at the library to gather material. Yes, in the sense that the first 15 years of my life turned out to be one big research project. I thought I was simply growing up in Norristown, Pennsylvania; looking back now I can see that I was also gathering material that would one day find its way into my books."On inspiration, the author says: "Ideas come from ordinary, everyday life. And from imagination. And from feelings. And from memories. Memories of dust in my sneakers and humming whitewalls down a hill called Monkey."Spinelli lives with his wife and fellow writer, Eileen, in West Chester, Pennsylvania. While they write in separate rooms of the house, the couple edits and celebrates one another's work. Their six children have given Jerry Spinelli a plethora of clever material for his writing.Jerry Spinelli is the author of more than a dozen books for young readers, including Maniac Magee, winner of the Newbery Medal. His latest novel, Stargirl, was a New York Times bestseller and an ALA Top Ten Best Book for Young Adults.

Restaurants in Detroit
Whether it's a classic culinary temple or a local haunt, these Detroit restaurants are destinations in and of themselves. Read on to discover Travel + Leisure's picks for the best Detroit restaurants and dining experiences. Browse our travel guides for insider information on food trucks, bakeries, cafés, coffeehouses, farm-to-table restaurants, diners, trattorias, bistros, pizzerias, ice cream parlors, tapas bars, noodle houses, sushi counters, fine dining establishments, and more.
Our global network of editors and writers selects the best restaurants in Detroit to help travelers soak up the local scene and find authentic dishes. Whether highlighting an insider hot spot, a celebrity chef's newest restaurant, a hip coffeehouse, or the best place for cheap eats, Travel + Leisure takes you there, serving up the best Detroit restaurant listings. Below find T+L's top picks for where to eat in Detroit.
New Three Star BarBQ is the place to go for dry-rubbed ribs and a cold brew in Hamtramck. Located on Joseph Campau Street, this modest, three-generation diner has tile flooring and Tiffany-style lamps, and is open for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
The waterfalls, teak walls, and plentiful marble touches are giveaways that Mosaic is no ordinary Greektown restaurant. Uprooting their baklava and pastiso roots, the trio of sisters who own the place opted for a menu and atmosphere that's sleek and modern.
The breakfast and lunch choice of CEO's, judges, government officials, and other power people is designed to resemble a contemporary yet cozy living room. Bright pastels and plasma TV's adorn the walls, and there's even a fireplace in the foyer.
A basement restaurant with a Central Europe style, the Polish Village Café was featured on the Food Network's Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives. Look for the sign with the name and a black rooster hanging over the red awning of 2990 Yemans.
Vicentes feels a bit like an old-fashioned supper club, with blond wood chairs, tables covered in a striking shade of burgundy, and a dance floor that comes alive with salsa music after 10 p.m. on weekends.
Drive or boat up to this restaurant in the Marina District of the Detroit River. The two-story building with many windows has 36 boat wells available for restaurant guests.
Detroit's late-19th-century heyday is on display in this pink granite, 52-room mansion, originally built in 1894 for lumber baron David Whitney.
Despite being owned by Jimmy Schmidt, Detroit's best known chef, Rattlesnake Club is somewhat of a foodies' secret, tucked away on a side street just east of downtown.
As the name indicates, Evie's is famous for its tamales—the real meat-or-cheese-filled kind that practically fall apart with tenderness when you pop them in your mouth.
Crowded with Formica tables that have seen better days, Lafayette Coney is a beloved institution that seems to have been in Detroit as long as its eponymous river.

Flea market at the Coliseum
Don't call it a flea market, its proprietors say, but the new outdoor Market Fair in the parking lot of Nassau Coliseum does hark back to the days of booths, where tie-dyed T-shirts and handmade silver jewelry could be found on the cheap. Flea markets were plentiful on Long Island years ago, and for many, a favorite place to while away an afternoon. This one has vendors with merchandise both old and new -- from antiques and refurbished small furniture to new shoes, pocketbooks and clothing.

I do this driving to work: hold steering wheel at 10 and 2 o'clock, take a deep breath, then on the exhale, grip the wheel, tense upper body, and flex you butt and legs count to 3 release and breath in deeply, pause-relax, normal breaths. Repeat 10 x, rest and do 10 more.
Change the ype of exercise...instead of walking or weight exercise, try swimiming or rollerblading or yoga...tricking the body
I have suffered with insomnia my whole life; whether it's not being able to fall asleep or falling asleep but waking up every hour or two! I tried everything! Although I refuse to take any prescription meds for it because I don't want to become dependent on anything. Recently, a friend of mine recommended yoga before I go to sleep. I was skeptical at first but after I did it the first time, I crashed out all night (didn't wake up once!). I was amazed at how well it works!
If I can't make my scheduled workout due to life, I go to plan B and do what I can... something is always better than nothing and you can work out literally everywhere... at night at grad school, I ran stairs during my 10 min break-LOL! Stuck in airport? Run laps... who cares what people think?

Originally written on Mets Merized Online | Last updated 12/14/12
The baseball market is an interesting place, poisoned by the once outlandish claims of the Yankees and the overall change in player value these days. We fear giving players contracts for the short term in their old age, yet we will gladly sign stars well into their late thirties at ridiculous salaries to get them in their prime. I could go on about my issues with the way players are valued these days, but I wanted to focus on two specific men. Take a look at these combined stats from 2010-2012 of two different players. Player A: 39-28, 2.95 E.R.A. with 8 CG and 4 SHO. 616.2 IP, 559 H allowed, 225 R (202 ER), 55 HR, 150 BB, 468 K, 1.150 WHIP, 8.2 H/9, 0.8 HR/9, 2.2 BB/9. Player B: 41-25, 3.83 E.R.A., with 3 CG and 0 SHO. 604.0 IP, 580 H allowed, 280 R (257 ER), 55 HR, 154 BB, 582 K, 1.215 WHIP, 8.6 H/9, 0.8 HR/9, 2.3 BB/9. Did you figure it out? Here's a hint. Player A is under contract to his team for $5 MM next year, while Player B just netted himself a six-year, $147 MM contract. ...

Minimum Wages, Pay Equity, and Comparative Industrial Relations
By Damian Grimshaw
Routledge – 2013 – 272 pages
Routledge – 2013 – 272 pages
With growing concern about the conditions facing low wage workers and new challenges to traditional forms of labor market protection, this book offers a timely analysis of the purpose and effectiveness of minimum wages in different European countries. Building on original industry case studies, the analysis goes beyond general debates about the relative merits of labor market regulation to reveal important national differences in the functioning of minimum wage systems and their integration within national models of industrial relations.
There is no universal position on minimum wage policy followed by governments and social partners. Nor is it true that trade unions consistently support minimum wages and employers oppose them. The evidence in this book shows that interests and objectives change over time and differ across industries and countries. Investigating the pay bargaining strategies of unions and employers in cleaning, security, retail, and construction, this book's industry case studies show how minimum wage policy interacts with collective bargaining to produce different types of pay equity effects. The analysis provides new findings of 'ripple effects' shaped by trade union strategies and identifies key components of an 'egalitarian pay bargaining approach' in social dialogue. The lessons for policy are to embrace an inter-disciplinary approach to minimum wage analysis, to be mindful of the interconnections with the changing national systems of industrial relations, and to interrogate the pay equity effects.

I'd love to take everything I read at face value, but not everyone uses correct grammar all the time, especially on forums, so you've got to apply some comprehension of your own.
To the seller: Though I'm sure you had the best of intentions you shouldn't have been so fast to refund someone, especially without any evidence
To the buyer: You shouldn't be using the product you got the refund for. You get the product or the money, not both. That's common sense. Either return the product or return the money. If you feel the product didn't meet your expectations, perhaps work out a partial refund. And yes, I realize you already returned some money.

Critical Essay by Diane S. Wood
SOURCE: "Bradbury and Atwood: Exile as Rational Decision," in The Literature of Emigration and Exile, edited by James Whitlark and Wendall Aycock, Texas Tech University Press, 1992, pp. 131-42.
In the following essay, Wood compares Fahrenheit 451 with Margaret Atwood's The Handmaid's Tale, focusing on their historical context and respective treatment of conformity and institutionalized repression.
Ray Bradbury's Fahrenheit 451 and Margaret Atwood's The Handmaid's Tale depict the rational decision to go into exile, to leave one's native land, that is, the pre-exile condition. These novels present horrifying views of the near future where societal pressures enforce rigid limitations on individual freedom. Their alienated characters find their circumstances repugnant. Justice and freedom are denied them, along with the possibility for enriching their lives through intellectual pursuits. These speculative novels like Orwell's 1984 are dystopian in nature, showing how precarious are today's constitutional rights and how necessary it is to preserve these liberties for future generations. They depict ordinary people, caught in circumstances that they cannot control, people who resist oppression at the risk of their lives and who choose exile because it has to be better than their present, unbearable circumstances. Voluntary exile necessitates a journey into the unknown as an alternative to the certain repression of the present.
Both novels offer a bleak possible future for the United States. Bradbury, writing in the McCarthy era of the 1950s, envisions a time when people choose to sit by the hour watching television programs and where owning books is a crime. Atwood, in the 1980s, foresees a time when, in the wake of changes begun during the Reagan Administration, women are denied even the most basic rights of working and owning property. Both novels thus present "political" stances in the widest sense of the word….
In his 1966 Introduction to Fahrenheit 451, Bradbury expresses moral outrage concerning bookburning: "when Hitler burned a book I felt it as keenly, please forgive me, as his killing a human, for in the long sum of history they are one and the same flesh. Mind or body, put to the oven, is a sinful practice…." He sees the necessity to guard constantly against such practices:
For while Senator McCarthy has long been dead, the Red Guard in China comes alive and idols are smashed, and books, all over again, are thrown into the furnace. So it will go, one generation printing, another generation burning, yet another remembering what is good to remember so as to print again….
The novels by Bradbury and Atwood examine the personal response of an individual who is in conflict with the majority in his society and whose occupation is abhorrent to him. Fahrenheit 451 centers upon the personal crisis of Montag, a young fireman whose job consists of burning books. He finds his life increasingly meaningless and eventually comes to reject the too-simple, cliched values of his milieu. He experiences loneliness in a society where people are constantly entertained without time given to reflexion and personal development, activities often associated with the reading process. The more complicated nuances of the world of books are available to him only when he leaves his reductionistic society….
In both novels the population is strictly regulated and the conduct of individuals is highly regimented. Indeed, in these repressive circumstances, it is not surprising that the protagonists would wish to flee, especially since, by the end of the novels, they have broken laws which would bring the death penalty if they were apprehended. "Mechanical Hounds" use scent to hunt down lawbreakers in Bradbury's fiction. The hounds tear apart their prey. Montag narrowly escapes this fate but the police do not admit being outwitted. They stage his death for the benefit of the huge television audience which follows the developing story of his evasion. The authorities murder an innocent derelict in Montag's place, so as not to disappoint the viewers and appear ineffectual. The authorities are motivated by the desire to maintain power at any cost and blatantly violate human rights….
The major task of both Bradbury and Atwood is to portray convincingly in their futuristic novels how the abridgement of freedom evolved in the United States. As such, the novels are strong political statements warning of the consequences of what seem dangerous trends to the authors. One has only to look at the statistics for television watching, witness the decline of interest in reading among our students, and read current reports about ecological damage to verify the gravity of the dangers this country faces at the present time. In the world of Fahrenheit 451 people have given up thinking for mindless pursuits. No revolution or coup d'etat brings about the loss of freedom. Rather, individual laziness precipitates a gradual erosion. This evolution takes place long before the birth of Montag, who grows up in a society where books are proscribed. His superior, a fireman, explains the trend of increasing simplification as the result of the influence of the mass media: "Things began to have mass…. And because they had mass, they became simpler…. Once, books appealed to a few people, here, there, everywhere. They could afford to be different. The world was roomy. But then the world got full of eyes and elbows and mouths. In a vast generalization which is itself a simplification, he tells how the modern era brought a movement to speed up and condense everything:
Then, in the twentieth, century, speed up your camera. Books cut shorter. Condensations. Digests. Tabloids. Everything boils down to the gag, the snap ending…. Classics cut to fit fifteen-minute radio shows, then cut again to fill a two-minute book column, winding up at last as a ten- or twelve-line dictionary resume…. Do you see? Out of the nursery into the college and back to the nursery; there's your intellectual pattern for the past five centuries or more.
The rich value of books is thus denied when they are reduced to brief summaries. Happiness to this fireman comes from eliminating all dissension, especially that caused by books: "'Colored people don't like Little Black Sambo. Burn it. White people don't feel good about Uncle Tom's Cabin. Burn it. Someone's written a book on tobacco and cancer of the lungs? The cigarette people are weeping? Burn the book. Serenity, Montag. Peace, Montag. Take your fight outside. Better yet, into the incinerator.'" Yet this society does not produce happiness. Montag is perpetually lonely and his wife attempts suicide.
Whereas Atwood's society ceremonializes violence, in Bradbury's book the society eliminates all cause for unhappiness and sweeps unpleasantness away, including those which are an integral part of the human condition: "'Funerals are unhappy and pagan? Eliminate them, too. Five minutes after a person is dead he's on his way to the Big Flue, the Incinerators serviced by helicopters all over the country. Ten minutes after death a man's a speak of black dust. Let's not quibble over individuals with memoriams. Forget them. Burn all, burn everything. Fire is bright and fire is clean.'" Television concerns itself with the ephemeral present and thus follows the trend toward forgetting the past. Books by their very essence preserve and memorialize those who have lived before. Bradbury would probably agree with Atwood's comments that all repressive governments eliminate authors because they are so dangerous. The fireman views fire as a means of purging and cleansing emotions in his society. Political dissension is eliminated by giving only one side of the argument. War is not even talked about. People are reduced to thinking about simple facts, meaningless data: "Cram them full of noncombustible data, chock them so full of 'facts' they feel stuffed, but absolutely 'brilliant' with information. Then they'll feel they're thinking, they'll get a sense of motion without moving. And they'll be happy, because facts of that sort don't change. Don't give them any slippery stuff like philosophy or sociology to tie things up with. That way lies melancholy." Through simplifying and reducing ideas, he feels that the firemen produce happiness for the society: "we're the Happiness Boys, the Dixie Duo, you and I and the others. We stand against the small tide of those who want to make everyone unhappy with conflicting theory and thought. We have our fingers in the dike. Hold steady. Don't let the torrent of melancholy and drear philosophy drown our world.'"
Balancing this reductionist apology are the views of another character in the novel, a retired English professor who "had been thrown out upon the world forty years ago when the last liberal arts college shut for lack of students and patronage." He traces the lack of reading to apathy: "Remember, the firemen are rarely necessary. The public itself stopped reading of its own accord. Your firemen provide a circus now and then at which buildings are set off and crowds gather for the pretty blaze, but it's a small sideshow indeed, and hardly necessary to keep things in line. So few want to be rebels anymore. And out of those few, most, like myself, scare easily." The professor's personal experience bears witness to the gradual nature of the transition from a reading to a non-reading culture. One day, there are simply no more students:
That was a year I came to class at the start of the new semester and found only one student to sign up for Drama from Aeschylus to O'Neill. You see? How like a beautiful statue of ice it was, melting in the sun. I remember the newspapers dying like huge moths. No one wanted them back. No one missed them. And then the Government, seeing how advantageous it was to have people reading only about passionate lips and the fist in the stomach, circled the situation with your fire-eaters….
In both novels books represent important artifacts of the past and the act of reading becomes a heroic gesture. This is not surprising since both authors are avid readers and have described the importance of books in their lives. In fact, Fahrenheit 451 was written in the UCLA library. One of the most crucial passages in the novel shows a woman willing to die for her books. Montag is stunned when she sets fire to her library and immolates herself along with her precious volumes. This experience causes Montag to question what there is in books that is worth dying for and ultimately leads to his becoming a preserver of books instead of a destroyer….
Each novel ends with the protagonist's escape and the beginning of his exile from repression. There is some ambiguity, however, since the alter native order is not elaborated on. Montag watches his city being destroyed by a nuclear explosion. He joins a group of vagabonds who memorize the books with which they have escaped. No attempt is made to follow his further development in these difficult circumstances or to predict the course the future holds for society or the survivors. The implication is clear, however, that intellectual freedom is worth the inconvenience of life outside the modem city. Because he left, Montag survives the death of the mindless masses who stayed behind….
The appeal of these two highly acclaimed novels stems from the main characters' difficult situation in a repressive future United States. The plausible explanations given by both Bradbury and Atwood for the ghastly turn taken by American society in the futures they portray serves as a vivid reminder that freedom must be vigilantly guarded in order to be maintained. Apathy and fear create unlivable societies from which only a few courageous souls dare escape. "Ordinary" says one of the cruel Aunts of The Handmaid's Tale "is what you are used to." The main characters never are able to accept the "ordinariness" of the repression which surrounds them. They are among the few who are willing to risk the difficult path of exile.

Energy management app competition lets consumers do the judging
Colorado-based Tendril is partnering with Essent N.V., the largest energy company in the Netherlands, on what they're calling the first-of-its-kind smart energy application crowdsourcing project.
This project will use the Tendril Connect cloud platform to link some of Essent's smart meter-enabled residential customers with web and mobile application developers from around the world. The app developers will use Tendril Connect APIs to access rich interval usage data from energy meters and create innovative consumer apps for the program participants. Those participants will rate the apps and the developer with the best rating will receive prizes from Essent. App developers can register for the competition here.
Essent and Tendril Partner on First-Of-Its-Kind Smart Energy Application Crowdsourcing Project
April 25, 2012
Project Unites Real-Time Smart Meter Data, Tendril Connect Cloud Platform and Innovation of App Developer Community to Drive Real Value, Choice and Engagement for Consumers
Boulder, Colo. and DEN BOSCH, Netherlands - April 25, 2012 - Tendril, the provider of the cloud platform for the Energy Internet, has partnered with Essent N.V., the largest energy company in the Netherlands serving more than 2 million households, to collaborate on the first-of-its-kind smart energy application crowdsourcing project.
This unique project will use the Tendril Connectâ"¢ cloud platform to link some of Essent's smart meter-enabled residential customers with web and mobile application developers from around the world. The app developers will use Tendril Connect APIs to access rich interval usage data from energy meters and create innovative consumer apps for the program participants.
The project will be presented at The Next Web Kings of Code Hack Battle taking place April 25-26 in Amsterdam and will officially begin later this year. During the pilot, app developers will create and test their apps. Essent will then make the apps available to participating households, who will be able to provide feedback to developers, and even rate the applications. The apps could be in a position to gain the attention of Essent's parent company RWE and its various business units, representing millions of energy customers throughout Europe.
"For consumers, the real value of smart meters comes not from the meter itself, but from innovative, compelling applications that use analytics and other information to turn meter data into a relevant message and action for the consumer," said Arjan van der Eijk, director, smart energy, Essent. "We believe this unique project will accelerate time to market for innovative energy applications tailored to the needs of our customers in a highly cost-effective manner. This type of innovation lies at the heart of our commitment to continually deliver value to our customers."
Research has shown that consumers who receive real-time access to their electricity consumption information can achieve significant energy savings. According to a study by the Electric Power Research Institute, consumers who have the ability to monitor their energy use in real-time reduce their electricity consumption by as much as 20 percent.
"This is the future of home energy management," said Kent Dickson, chief technology officer, Tendril. "It's about harnessing the creativity of the developer community to build energy apps, offer them in an app store environment and let consumers choose the applications that best suit their needs. We architected our platform to make this type of creativity and choice possible and to enable utilities to meet the evolving needs of today's consumers. Consumers have this type of choice in other areas of their lives. Why shouldn't they have it in deciding how to manage their energy use?"
To help jumpstart the effort, Essent will award 1,000 euros to the developer who builds the best app using Tendril's APIs at The Next Web Kings of Code Hack Battle this week. Essent will also provide additional prizes for the creator of the app that receives the best rating from consumers in the crowdsourcing program.
App developers interested in participating in the Essent smart energy app project should visit www.essent.nl/co-creation to register.

Customer Reviews of Panasonic DVD-LS92 9" Portable DVD Player
I purchased this DVD player for a trip to Europe. It worked like a charm. I wanted a player that had very long lasting battery time, and my search ended up with the Panasonic DVD player. The battery that comes with the unit lasts at least 8-9 hours on a full charge, and there are replacement batteries avaialble on Amazon that greatly extend that capacity if you want to purchase an additional battery. All in all I think this is an excellent player. Picture quality is OK, controls are pretty easy to figure out, but battery life is excellent and that was my (personal) main concern.
Great Player!3/27/2012
Clear beautiful picture. Audio just fine.

Foreign Stout
Foreign Stout began with the beer that would become Guinness Foreign Extra Stout. This was a stronger, extra-hopped version of the basic Guinness Extra Stout, brewed to survive long journeys overseas. The classic FES still exists in a few different forms, but many of the original destination countries (Jamaica, Sri Lanka, etc.) now have their own, locally-produced versions. Foreign stout occupies a position between basic stout and imperial stout. It is sweeter than a basic stout, but not as robust as an imperial. It is less fruity and less hoppy as well. Foreign stouts are sometimes made with local grains and adjuncts sugar is not uncommon. Alcohol ranges from 6-8%.

Known for its exquisite cuisine, quaint cafes and restaurants and friendly service there are many great food spots in Greece and certainly no shortage on the island of Ios. But, if you're after a break from traditional cuisine and fancy some hammock time, Mohito's and some top notch Mexican food, then Harmony is the place for you!
Located on the cliffs of Myloplotas, Harmony attracts people from all over the world with its breathtaking views of the beach, delicious cocktails and seriously good Tex-Mex food. The restaurant has become a hot spot for young travellers and often attracts repeat clientele who simply can't get enough of the place. Each summer Harmony showcases a new cocktail menu, food menu and entertainment calendar, ensuring that no visit is the same, and we were lucky enough to chat with the crew recently to get the lowdown of 2012 plans. Yewwww!
This summer Harmony is embracing two styles of dining; a laid-back atmosphere of beanbags, tapas, taco's and cocktails which it has become famous for, and a more sophisticated three-course dining experience. Harmony will continue to serve up traditional Mexican dishes like enchiladas, chimichanga, burritos, chilli con carne, fajitas and nachos, and will also showcase frequently rotating specials that incorporate Mexican and world flavours to keep diners on their toes.
The new tapas menu is a brilliant addition and offers perfectly sized nibbles to tie you over in between sightseeing and beach time. The delicious assortment of tapas tacos is available in the bar lounge and the one we have our eye on is the spicy chicken taco with roasted peppers, rocket, sweet potato and a chilli, mint, corn, lime salsa. Mmmmm.
This year Harmony have teamed up with mixologist James Cosgrove to build on the classic offering of Margharita's, Mohito's, Caipiroska's and Frozen Fruit Daiquiris, and add a few new concoctions to the 2012 menu. Cocktail connoisseurs can wrap their tastebuds around the new Turkish Delight Martini, the Chocolate Negroni and the very own Harmony Martini, to name just a few, as well as delicious daily specials. Breakfast shots and cocktails have also been added to the menu including the very special 'Good Morning Harmony' which is aimed at the travelling Aussie and infuses vegemite into a cocktail! As well as cocktails, Harmony offers a wide range of Greek wines, champagne, beer and tequila, and their popular Thai buckets and Pitchers to share will remain on the menu.
Harmony boasts live entertainment every day throughout summer ensuring there is never a dull moment on the cliff top. Resident musicians perform as the sun goes down each evening and diners are welcome to make requests and encouraged to get up and have a sing-along. Harmony will host jam nights where people can come along and do a few songs of their own on the guitar or can sing as one of the resident musicians accompanies them...a truly awesome night when you've got your mates together, a couple of cocktails and some holiday confidence!
We just can't keep up with the awesomeness of this place so make sure you check it out yourself at; facebook.com/harmonyios.

Originally written on Fox Sports Southwest | Last updated 1/4/12
Royal Ivey and Kevin Ollie don't have a ton of things in common. Between them, they have logged two decades of service in the NBA and are what some might call the epitome of league journeymen as guys who have bounced around the Association a bit. However, there is one pretty major similarity between these two league vets-they have both played an integral role in the development of Oklahoma City star forward Kevin Durant. Ollie was a teammate of KD's for just one season, the 2009-10 campaign, and the Dallas native only saw the floor for 25 games that year, but his impact on the young superstar was immeasurable. That season proved to be the former Maverick's last in the league as he called it quits and is now an assistant coach at his alma mater, Connecticut. But for Durant, the impact of playing alongside someone like Ollie is not an experience he will soon forget. "It having veteran teammates like him is very valuable. I didn't know how valuable having vets just around for a young...

An outbreak of beak deformities is being seen in Alaskan Black-capped Chickadees. MSNBC.com reports northwestern crows are also demonstrating the abnormality, as well as 28 other bird species native to Alaska and the Pacific Northwest.
A recently released study by Colleen Handel and Caroline Van Hemert in the quarterly Journal of Ornithology, The Auk reports on what has been identified as Avian Keratin Disorder. When keratin on a bird's beak grows at an abnormally fast pace, the beak will become elongated and sometimes crossed.
Take a look at the photo array of beak deformaties from the study.
Abnormal beak shape can impede a bird's foraging for food and the ability to properly preen themselves. Both activities are imperative for survival in the wild. This phenomenon is also negatively impacting the bird's reproductive and parenting abilities.
While it is possible for this to be caused by viral, bacterial, fungal or parasitic infections, the rate at which it has been documented in Alaska infers the cause is environmental. Especially since it has been seen in such a large variety of bird species. Avian Keratin Disorder can also affect skin, claws and feathers.
Keratin is what our fingernails are made of. Have you ever wondered how women with 4″ long fingernails manage personal hygiene and other essential activities of daily living? Now picture a wild bird trying to stay alive with that kind of handicap.
United States Geological Survey (USGS) research biologist Colleen Handel reported, "The prevalence of these strange deformities is more than 10 times what is normally expected in a wild bird population."
Between 1999 and 2008, beak abnormalities in the Black-capped Chickadees increased from 3.6 to 9.7%, according to the study.
The fact only 0.05% nestlings and 0.3% juvenile birds — 6 months of age or less — were found with beak deformities suggests the condition is acquired and not genetic. Two well known environmentally-derived deformities in birds have been documented. The Great Lakes region in the mid 1970′s saw high rates of beak and other malformations due to persistent organochlorine contaminants. Agricultural runoff of selenium in California during the 1980′s caused a high incidence of beak and other abnormalities among aquatic birds.
The actual cause of the Alaskan beak deformities in birds is still being studied. Let's hope the cause is discovered quickly so the presumed contamination can be contained and corrected.

one cause might be the pcb contamination in the north.
Let's hope science can find an answer for these birds. What a difficult time they must have trying to eat with beaks like that.
Major wakeup calls!
Hopefully the scientists will find out what is happening and be able to stop it. That's one of the only chances they have at the moment.
If I read this properly in the 80's in California they soon found out what was making the deformities in their birds. Run of of Selenium from farms, who use it for their cattle....... imagine that!!
I cannot understand why God/Allah would create birds with these disfunctional beaks. This does not appear to be intelligent design at work.
Perhaps Sarah Palin has the answer.
My money is on the voracious greedy thoughtless creature known as man being the cause of these deformations.
Thank you Megan.
Very sad. I hope those with abnormalities can adapt to it to survive.
Oooh, this is so sad. Poor birds.
something must be done to stop this
Ho will the birds survived with this deformity?

Robbie Keane sees limited minutes as Republic of Ireland fall 1-0 to Scotland in Euro 2016 qualifier
LA Galaxy captain Robbie Keane went 12 minutes as the Republic of Ireland fell 1-0 to rival Scotland in their Euro 2016 qualifying match at Celtic Park in Glasgow.
Keane started off the match on the bench as the two teams played to a tense scoreless draw until Shaun Mahoney's remarkable curling shot put the Scots up in the 74th minute. The Galaxy captain came on 74th minute, but was unable to help the Irish earn a draw. With the result, the Irish are now second in Group D behind top ranked Poland.
The Republic of Ireland return to action next week when they take on the United States on Wednesday, Nov. 19. Whether or not Keane participates in that match or returns to the Galaxy remains to be seen.
A.J. DeLaGarza's Guam defeats Chinese Taipei in 2015 EAFF East Asian Cup preliminary round semifinal
LA Galaxy center back A.J. DeLaGarza started and went 90 minutes as Guam defeated host nation Chinese Taipei (Taiwan) 2-1 in their 2015 EAFF East Asian Cup preliminary round two match.
A penalty kick goal by former Santa Clara soccer star Jason Cunliffe in the 14th minute gave Matao an early advantage that was doubled just three minutes before half time when Shane Malcolm scored. Chen Hao-wei scored for Chinese Taipei in the 57th minute, but the DeLaGarza-led Guam defense held firm to prevent a comeback.
Guam will take on group stage favorite North Korea on Sunday in a match that will likely decide which team advances to the 2015 EAFF East Asian Cup. North Korea started the qualifying group off on a high note on Thursday with a 2-1 victory over Hong Kong.
CARSON, Calif. – Robbie Keane is not a full fitness ahead of the LA Galaxy's Western Conference Semifinal second leg, but the team's captain refuses to allow a hamstring issue to hinder him heading into Sunday's match against Real Salt Lake.
"It's okay, it's getting there," said Keane. "It's not 100 percent but it's getting there."
The Galaxy will need Keane to be at his best as the forward has been unable to find the back of the net in his last two games as LA have gone winless in their last four matches. Although the Galaxy has struggled as of late, Keane says the Galaxy are ready to go.
"When our backs are up against the wall, we usually come up good. We know exactly what we have to do. We have to not concede and we have to score goals," said Keane. "We know that we can do it because we have the players and the squad to do it. That's why we've been one of the best teams over the last three years. We know how to perform in big situations and it doesn't get any bigger than Sunday."
The Irishman, who expects a cautious start from a Salt Lake side that can advance with a draw in which goals are scored, says that the Galaxy must simply get down to basics if they're going to advance to the Conference Finals.
"I think that we just have to concentrate on what we're good at. We're good at counterattacking and getting at people," said Keane. "We're not going to change how we've been playing all season. We know that we're good at that and we're going to keep that."
CARSON, Calif. -- A day after signing with LA Galaxy II, 15-year-old Los Dos goalkeeper Eric Lopez was among the 22-man U.S. Under-16 roster that will take part in a training camp in France from Nov. 13-21.
The nine day training camp will be overseen by U.S. Soccer technical advisor and former U.S. U-17 assistant coach Clint Peay. Lopez will be joined in France by nine other players from California including former Galaxy Academy star Hanif Wright.
The complete roster is below.
LA Galaxy II's season is over, but Los Dos continued their offseason by picking up a 3-1 victory over the U.S. Under-18 squad at StubHub Center on Thursday.
Chandler Hoffman, Alejandro Covarrubias and Jaime Villarreal scored for Los Dos while San Jose Earthquakes Academy Amir Bashti.
Four Galaxy Academy players played for the U.S. U-18's: forward Adrian Vera, center back B.J. O'hara, goalkeeper Bennett Sneddon and forward Rob Knights.
CARSON, Calif. -- Robbie Keane says that he's ready to go for Saturday's match against Real Salt Lake after missing out on the LA Galaxy's regular season finale last week.
Keane told reporters on Friday that a hamstring strain prevented him from taking part in LA's 2-0 defeat to Seattle Sounders FC, but admitted that he expects to be fit in time for the first leg of Western Conference Semifinal against Real Salt Lake on Saturday.
"I trained last couple of days and my hamstring seems okay. Obviously I would have played. I think [people] know me well enough now to know that I will not to stay out of games unless it's legit," said Keane. "I should be okay for Saturday."
Head coach Bruce Arena echoed Keane's optimism stating that the Irishman has no intention of missing out on the playoff game.
"Robbie could play if he had a broken leg," Arena joked. "It was just precaution to hold him out. Come to think of it, I wouldn't say he could play with a broken leg, but he would try anyway."
Having Keane back in the squad is a major boost for the Galaxy after a frustrating performance against Seattle that saw LA dominate in shots, but fail to find the back of the net. And with the captain back to full fitness -- plus Omar Gonzalez returning from suspension -- the Irishman believes that the Galaxy are well-equipped to make a deep playoff run.
"I think we're more prepared [than 2013]," said Keane. "[We have a] better squad of players, more experienced players who understand how the playoffs go."
CARSON, Calif. – The LA Galaxy begin their 2014 MLS Cup Playoffs campaign on Saturday evening against Real Salt Lake and if LA will advance past the club that eliminated them a year ago, they'll need to shutdown RSL's dynamic attacker Joao Plata.
The speedy and diminutive Ecuadorian led the charge for head coach Jeff Cassar's side throughout the 2014 season with 13 goals and six assists. In three games against the Galaxy this year, Plata notched a goal and an assist including a goal in RSL's win over LA in the season opener.
"Plata has been an All-Star quality player this entire season. He's been scoring goals for club and country and he's a very dangerous player," said defender A.J. DeLaGarza. "He's fast and an incredibly player who is only helped by the influence of Saborio. They create a real threat."
If the LA can slow down Plata, DeLaGarza believes that the Galaxy will be able to get revenge on RSL for their 2013 playoff exit.
"This year we have home-field advantage, but we'll see if that means anything," said DeLaGarza. "It'll be a great match-up. It's two teams that really like to play and it'll be a good challenge for us."
Ahead of his final regular season match at the StubHub Center, Landon Donovan sits down with ESPN's Kenny Mayne to discuss his plans after he retires at the end of the LA Galaxy's 2014 campaign.
In addition to discussing his plans to put on weight after his career ends, Donovan tells Mayne about his favorite moment at StubHub Center and his reasoning on why he deserved to be on the U.S. squad during the 2014 FIFA World Cup.
Check it out above.
Don Garber defends Landon Donovan says LA Galaxy star should have played for USMNT at World Cup 2014
MLS commissioner Don Garber addressed comments by U.S. head coach Jurgen Klinsmann denigrating MLS on Wednesday in a scathing teleconference call with reporters across the league.
During his extensive teleconference in which Garber addressed Klinsmann's remarks about the declining form of U.S. internationals Clint Dempsey and Michael Bradley since joining MLS, the MLS commissioner took a moment to discuss Landon Donovan's omission from the U.S. squad at the 2014 FIFA World Cup.
"I believe Landon should have been in Brazil," said Garber, adding that his treatment for cancer prevented him from speaking out prior to the teleconference. "His performance dictated it. … His treatment was inexcusable. I have concerns that his criticism, particularly of Michael, is following that pattern."
Garber continued noting that Klinsmann's comments were "incredibly damaging" to a league that has shown incredible growth in it's 19 years.
