25 Mason St, San Francisco, CA | Directions 9410237.783885 -122.409323
Sun.-Thu. 5-11 p.m.; Fri.-Sat. 5 p.m.-midnight.; Sat.-Sun. 10 a.m.-2:30 p.m. brunch.
Neighborhoods: Tenderloin, Northeast
The fried chicken is good stuff, on the weekends enjoy it with waffles, and a Mint Julep.
Best Fried Chicken – They had me a mac & cheese... and boy was it gooooood! I usually despise fried food but after a few long hours of tossing back some brews in the sun I obliged. Between the 5 of us we had 3 orders of fried chicken and mac & cheese and 2 orders of shrimp and grits. Safe to say there wasn't a morsel of food left at the end. Highly recommend this place (despite the highly questionable neighborhood)
Best.Fried.Chicken.EVER! – This is the best fried chicken I have ever had. If you are a fan of southern food, this is the only place you should go in San Francisco. The restaurant not only has a great atmosphere, but the food is authentic.
best soul food brunch in town – This spot has the best soul food in town and their brunch spread has grits to die for - love the music and staff - just don't go with a headache unless you plan to drink it away! Also, don't let the hood keep you away or you'll miss a real treat.
Great Food! Unsafe Environment!!!! – The atmosphere is great, the food is great and the staff is so-so. For the neighborhood that it's in, they should have a BIG bouncer at the door to keep out and filter the riff-raff as this restaurant is in the Tenderloin or the 'Tender K*@b" as some of us call it in SF. I've been there several times, however, a patron got her purse stolen. Now, I don't know if the owner/manager compensated the couple their drinks and meals for a miserable stay at their restaurant, but when I left, I realized that there isn't a single camera nor any solid security for a place that has a 'nightclub' vibe in the middle of a compromised neighborhood! The mix of people present is great! But when you step a toe outside the door, you're surrounded by prostitues, dealers of illegal substances and other bonafide thugs. Sure, one must always be careful when they are in public and think about their public safety, but I think the ownership really needs to step up their game for keeping creeps out of the place!! The theft of that woman's purse last week really ruined my experience at that place. You just don't feel safe! I would have given this place 4-1/2 stars, but that experience took it down to 2. I still recommend this place, but bring your own bodyguard, because management doesn't seem concerned about your safety while dining in their establishment.
Southern-comfort cuisine and specialty cocktails in the TL. – This place serves soul food--made all the more soulful by being organic, and locally sourced from black-owned farms wherever possible--and specialty drinks with fresh-squeezed exotic juices to a gumbo of theater-goers, foodies, downtown office types, mingling singles and a contingent of exotic dancers from nearby strip clubs thrown in for good measure. Honey-kissed cornbread with maple-jalapeno butter, Fulton Valley fried chicken, and mashed sweet potato and plantain are favorite dishes, while the cucumber-lime margaritas will make you forget all about eating.
Great Party Scene in the Tenderloin! – Wow! You wouldn't have guessed it by looking at the outside of this place that it's a happening place to be. You're in the middle of the Tenderloin, and the place looks pretty dumpy from the outside, but that's where it's deceiving!
Once you walk through those doors, it's another world. At least on the Friday night I went. It's definitely a trendy and in-the-know place to be. Reservations are a MUST unless you don't mind standing and waiting for some seats at the bar, which turnover every 10-15 minutes, so it's not to bad. You should get a drink and mingle in the meantime.
I haven't tried all their drinks, but I think they're all supposed to be superb. I had the Orange Bellini (Crushed Orange Puree and Champagne), which came in a classy glass and tasted phenomenal. I wanted to try the Kiwi Margarita, but they ran out so they turned to the Mango Margarita. I asked a gal about the Strawberry Rhubarb Martini she was holding: she was ecstatic about it and claimed she was going to order "3 or 4 more!"
On to the food. I ordered appetizers only, the Shrimp Cakes and Cheese Grits. I had a Green Zebra coupon with me, which claimed Farmer Brown had the best grits in the city. I don't regularly have grits, but these were dee-lish! Sorta like oatmeal and cheese pudding, but cooked in a manner that makes it more like a porridge. Anyways, it's good! The Shrimp Cakes I thought were a little overfried, but the insides were not too bad. Soft, and the sauce was pretty good, slightly spicy for a little kick.
Overall, definitely a place to go to for its ambiance (people, music, lighting), the bartenders and service were okay, and the food was pretty good, though I have yet to try the main dishes. (The leftover fried chicken from a previous foodie looked a bit dry. I dunno about its taste.)
Its o.k. – I heard all the hype and wanted to try it out. We went in and sat at the bar the bartenders were kind of nice but also not very helpful. I ordered a beer and they said the keg was shot so they gave me half a beer and said they would give me the rest when they changed it, they said they would change it when they had time. There were two bartenders and 4 customers at the bar. Needless to say they never changed it and they charged me for a whole beer. The food was REALLY salty, I wonder if the chef smokes? Probably won't go back. I really like the atmosphere though.
Great ribs – The ribs here were delicious: seasoned well, and the meat fell right off the bones. The portions were smaller than I would have expected for the price, but overall a good meal.
Ambiance is Nice, However Food is Not Worth the Price – Cons: I had dinner with friends this past Tuesday night, I ordered the fried chicken and macaroni. The fried chicken was so salty. I thought I'd avoid the skin to avoid the salt, well the chicken must have been brined because the meat also was extremely salty. The macaroni was not as cheesy and creamy as you'd think soul macaroni cheese to be, it actually had some cayenne pepper dusted on it giving it a kick so that was interesting but not what you'd expect. The portion was also pretty paltry and dish was expensive. It's sad to say, but I would've been better off ordering fried chicken and macaroni at KFC and got better tasting-food for a better deal. My friends agreed. The overall space by the bar while waiting for a table was really tight. The location is in the area of Civic Center where it starts to get real shady. The grits and biscuits (side dishes we ordered and shared) were good, but nothing to boast about or charge $5.
Pros: The ambiance has got a young professional, urban, feel. Music was nice. The free cornbread they serve was yummy. The cucumber water was also refreshing. I also had a mango margarita, that was good, but again not worth $8. Service was also good. Our server was very nice.
Good times to be had inside – The location is a little sketch- but don?t let that deter you. From the moment you walk in- Farmer Brown is a real treat. The atmosphere was festive and populated. The decor, and great attention to detail, helps set the mood / era: Mason jar water glasses, cucumber water, maple butter and fresh (warm) corn muffins. (We like them so much we ordered another basket). Our food was delicious and reasonably priced for the quality / quantity. I had the grilled pork chop with mashed potato-plantain, shredded cabbage and sweat syrup. YUM. I didn't want to share- but knew I would have to, if I wanted any of my husbands fried chicken.
The bathroom needs some work- I did find the bicycle/ hand towel holder to be very clever, but it still needs work. Also- stragglers hanging within the front vestibule made it difficult, at first, for me to distinguish that this was our restaurant.

So you're not a newbie to online dating, but you still haven't found your dream girl? Don't give up yet, just take a glance at some of these online dating tips for men that will help you get a leg up on your competition.
First, let's get that profile to kick some ass.
Edit, edit, edit. You need not be a Rhodes Scholar to impress a belle, but you should take heed of your writing skills. Avoid babble that looks like you've just left a keg party. Make sure you check your punctuation and spelling. If you're not great at spelling, a dictionary is a wise investment. Read and re-read your profile; if something sounds or looks stupid, change it.
Use the most important dating tips for men, and define yourself. Women love character. While men are typically the shallow ones that use looks as a main qualifier, women are looking for substance and individuality. It's great to go with the flow and fit in with society, but your differences are what will help you get the date before the next guy. If you're a swing dance revivalist, strut your stuff and show her that you're a cool dad, dad, daddy-o. Mind your modesty though, don't let your confidence and self-assurance come across as arrogance and snootiness.
The best dating tip for men is to have an eye-catching, descriptive headline. Your headline sells your goods. It's your slogan, your logo, and the first thing your potential date reads. If it's good, it should compel her to read more about you. If it's bad, you've just scored a goal for your competition. What is the formula for a good headline? My rule is that it's a summary of your dating profile. Make sure that it makes sense to the masses. Remember, your description and your desires are where you will be able to make a definitive statement. Refrain also from using typical newspaper titles like SWM seeking SBF. If you're a bartender, try something like "It's never last call for love" for some mass appeal and attention.
All dating tips for men recommend that you get a second opinion- If you have a single female friend who will give you an honest critique, take her up on the opportunity. Pay special attention if she is actually someone that you would consider dating. Her opinion may be a good start to completely rework your dating profile. Take those comments and use them to your benefit. If she says that you need a more flattering picture, let her rifle through your collection and find a few that she likes. Dating tips from a desirable counterpart are not always easy to come by, but don't be afraid to ask, not everyone is a master of online dating just yet.
Present yourself well by reviewing your image.
There's no need to redefine yourself and your image, but you should take some time to make sure you are portraying the image you want your potential mate to see. Build a better you by working on the little things. None of us are perfect, and we all have things that we'd like to change. For some of us, it's the beer bellies that we picked up in college, for others, it's a pesky hairline that keeps running away from our eyebrows, and for some of us, it's the inability to grow good facial hair. In the big picture, no one cares, but you should make changes in your life by working on the little things that you're self conscious about. Get a haircut. Grab a new set of weekend clothes that fit your style, and most importantly, fit your body.
Know your Frickin' Competition!
Among the best of all dating tips for men that I've ever heard is the universal principle of knowing who your competition is. In business, knowing and understanding your competition will ensure that you're always at the cutting edge of your industry. In online dating, you should be aware of your competitors and see what they have to offer. There is no harm in reading the profiles of other guys, remember you're not there to date them, you're there to get more dates THAN them. While you should never steal someone else's thunder by plagiarizing their profile, I would recommend reviewing them for style cues and other tips on what a good profile should look and sound like. Additionally, check out the photos of other guys and look for trends. If it looks like other guys have only included pictures with their group of drinking buddies, include a similar picture but make sure to one-up them with a great picture of you involved in a unique activity.
- SWM seeks woman for good times, dinners, walks on beach. I'm a "bla bla bla" (Yawn)
What Attracts the Chicks
Submissive male seeks dominant female with extensive knowledge of knots Hideous-looking, obese, smelly, ill-tempered, lazy, cowardly, chronic, and a complete liar seeks total opposite.
SWM into chainsaws and hockey masks seek likeminded SWF. No weirdos, please. Bitter, unsuccessful middle aged loser wallowing in an unending sea of inert, drooping loneliness looking for 24 year old needy leech-like hanger-on to abuse with dull stories, tired sex and Herb Alpert albums. Baby, you are my Tijuana Taxi.
Me -- trying to sleep on the bus station bench, pleading with you to give me a cigarette; you-choking on my odor, tripping over your purse trying to get away; at the last moment, our eyes meeting. Yours were blue. Can I have a dollar?
Three toed mango peeler searching for wicked crossdressing infielder. Like screaming and marking territory with urine? Let's make banana enchiladas together in my bathtub. You bring the salsa.
I like eating mayonnaise and peanut butter sandwiches in the rain, watching Barney Miller reruns, peeing on birds in the park and licking strangers on the subway; you eat beets raw, have climbed Kilimanjaro, and sweat freely and often. Must wear size five shoes.
Angry, simple-minded, balding, partially blind ex-circus flipper boy with a passion for covering lovers in sour cream and fish giblet gravy seeks exotic, heavily tattooed piercing fanatic, preferably hairy and stinky, either sex, for whippings, bizarre sex and fashion consulting. No freaks.
When I was thirty my dates had to be young, slim, tall, handsome, rich, intelligent. Now I'm 64, they only have to know how to read and use the telephone!

A masked man goes into a sperm bank, points a gun at the woman behind the counter, and says, "Open the safe." She says, "This isn't a real bank, it's a sperm bank."
He says, "Open the safe or I'll shoot." She opens the safe, and he says, "Now take one of the bottles and drink it."
After she opens the bottle and drinks it, he takes off his mask and the woman realizes the robber is her husband. He says, "Now you see? It's not so difficult, is it?"

I have very sensitive skin so when I shave my neck I almost always get razor burn, no matter how much I lather up and whichever direction I shave. I tried this stuff in my box, which came with two single-use packets and I can say that it cleared up the razor burn on my neck so good that I've never seen it look this good (as long as I can remember at least!)
It is pricey, but even Amazon is selling it for the same price here so at least my points will help lower the cost a bit.
I received a sample in my November box. I tried it the next morning and ordered it the same afternoon.
I could tell a difference in my skin after the first use. The fragrance is light fades quickly. The scent is slightly reminiscent of "Cool Water".
I hate that I love this product since it is a bit on the pricey side. Oh well...I'm worth it!
Unlike other gels, this one did not leave my skin sticky. It nicely moisturizers without feeling too heavy. The fragrance is relatively mild, and won't compete with your cologne.
I liked the fact that this wasn't a stinging aftershave, but it didn't really do much to sooth my skin. Free radical repair sounds fancy, but I need a little more to justify the price.
After using this for several days, I believe I can tell a difference in my skin. It looks brighter and clearer. This gel goes on easily and has a good smell. Overall I would say this is a high-quality product.

Sun won't go down on Nik Kershaw's career
Last updated at 20:15, Thursday, 26 April 2012
Eighties teen idol Nik Kershaw will be making the long trip from Essex to Workington to appear at the Nuts in May Festival next weekend.
His hits include Wouldn't It Be Good, which reached number four in the UK singles chart in 1984, and I Won't Let The Sun Go Down On Me, which reached number two in the singles chart.
Nik, who will be performing with his four-piece band at the town's newest festival, said: "There will be a bit of a mixture of the old favourites which will get wheeled out as they always do and there will be some new stuff and stuff that I have done in between.
"I am looking forward to coming up to Workington, it is not a part of the country I know very well.
"I went once to the Lake District on a walking trip with a friend and I have played an acoustic gig in Kendal.
"It is not a huge country but it is astonishing how many places there are to see."
Nik's second album The Riddle was released in 1984 and included top 10 hits Wide Boy and Don Quixote.
He performed at Live Aid at Wembley Stadium in 1985 and has collaborated with a number of artists over the years including Elton John, Chesney Hawkes, Bonnie Tyler, Lulu, Ronan Keating, Jason Donovan, The Hollies and Gary Barlow.
He will play on the Saturday night of the festival which will showcase 1980s stars, folk legends and festival favourites.
He said: "I think with a festival it is a challenge, in some sense it is the scariest thing to do because you are not playing to your own crowd.
"Nuts in May is fundamentally a folk festival and it is a great feeling if and when you win the crowd over.
"I think independent festivals are brilliant. They have a local flavour and support local musicians.
"Especially in this day and age promoters and local authorities are very brave to have a go and it is brilliant when it pays off."
The festival's first year will also see performances from Hazel O'Connor, Martin Carthy and Dave Swarbrick, Emma's Imagination, Megan Henwood, The Martin Harley Band, Mad Dog McCrea, The Magic Tombolinos and Martin Turner's Wishbone Ash.
It is the brainchild of Alwyn and Joanne Braniff, of Stainburn Road, who have pulled together a team of experienced organisers who have previously worked on the successful Solfest music festival.
The site covers 50 acres of specially landscaped woodland at Middlemoor, between Stainburn and Great Clifton, and includes six stages.
The family-friendly festival will include international food vendors, workshops, late night entertainment, artisan traders and a host of activities for children of all ages.
All weekend tickets are £34 for adults, £20 for young people aged 12 to 17 and under-11s get in free.
Tickets are available to buy online at www.nutsinmayfestival.co.uk/tickets/buy/index.php

Hampshire is a popular holiday area, with tourist attractions including its many seaside resorts, the maritime area in Portsmouth, and the motor museum at Beaulieu. The New Forest National Park lies within the borders, as does a large area of the South Downs, which is also scheduled to become a National Park. Hampshire has a long maritime history and two of England's largest ports lie on its coast. The county is famed as home of writers Jane Austen and Charles Dickens.
Hampshire's county town is Winchester, a historic city that was once the capital of the ancient kingdom of Wessex and of England until the Norman conquest of England. The port cities of Southampton and Portsmouth were split off as independent unitary authorities in 1997, although they are still included in Hampshire for ceremonial purposes. Fareham, Gosport and Havant have grown into a conurbation that stretches along the coast between the two main cities. The three cities are all university cities, Southampton being home to the University of Southampton and Southampton Solent University,Portsmouth to the University of Portsmouth, and Winchester to the University of Winchester.
Hampshire lies outside the green belt area of restricted development around London, but has good railway and motorway links to the capital, and in common with the rest of the south-east has seen the growth of dormitory towns since the 1960s. Basingstoke, in the north of the county, has grown from a country town into a business and finance centre. Aldershot, Portsmouth, and Farnborough have strong military associations with the Army, Royal Navy and Royal Air Force respectively. The county also includes several market towns: Alton, Andover, Bishop's Waltham, Lymington, Petersfield, Ringwood, Romsey, and Whitchurch.
We hope you find the process of looking for your new home easy and helpful, if you require any further information on our property for sale or have any queries or questions, please contact us. Linden Homes; building quality new property for sale throughout the UK.

Configuring a Quake3 Arena server
You don't have to be an expert to set up your own Quake 3 game server.
Very few game vendors go to the trouble of porting complex 3D games to Linux. One positive exception is ID Software [1]. Most of the – partly controversial – titles released by ID run natively on Linux thanks to point releases. The most popular of these games is the Quake series, which has now reached number four. If you are afraid of burning out your graphics card with the complex graphics in the latest Quake sibling, you might prefer to stick with its extremely popular predecessor, "Quake 3: Arena," or Q3A (Figure 1). Because the game is much more fun when played on a network, you also might want to set up your own Q3A server to challenge your friends.

NORFOLK, Va. - Navy Petty Officer 3rd Class Nathan R. Stoll, son of Janet Stoll and Gregg Stoll of Manistique, along with 500 Sailors and Marines assigned to the Enterprise Carrier Strike Group (CSG), recently arrived in Norfolk, Va, following a seven-and-a-half-month deployment supporting operations in the Mediterranean and the Arabian Seas.
USS Enterprise's return to Norfolk was the 25th and final homecoming in her 51 years of distinguished service. The aircraft carrier was inactivated on Dec. 1 in a ceremony at Norfolk Naval Station.
While deployed, Enterprise CSG served in the U.S. 5th and 6th Fleet areas of responsibility (AOR), conducting maritime security operations, theater security cooperation efforts and missions in support of Operation Enduring Freedom.
During her 238 days away from Norfolk, "Big E, " as Enterprise is affectionately known, safely steamed 80, 968 miles and Carrier Air Wing 1 (CVW-1) flew more than 8, 000 sorties in support of Operation Enduring Freedom and exercises in the 5th and 6th Fleet AORs.
Enterprise was commissioned Nov. 25, 1961, as the eighth ship to bear the name Enterprise. Big E was the world's first nuclear-powered aircraft carrier. During her 51 years of service, Enterprise deployed 25 times and participated in every major conflict since the Cuban Missile Crisis. Enterprise has been homeported in both Alameda, Calif., and Norfolk, Va., and conducted operations in every region of the world.
The Dec. 1 inactivation ceremony was the last official public event for Enterprise, and will serve as a celebration of life for the ship and the more than 100,000 Sailors who have served aboard the ship.

Shepard's Birth Announcement
Ty Mattson, of Mattson Creative (same dude behind those sweet lost posters) clearly has a lot of gifts, but he and his wife have recently been given another. No better way to show your kid how much you love them, then to create a completely kick ass birth announcement. This amazing print press announcement is very well laid out and uses some really fun illustrations and colors. I can honestly say I have never seen such a sick birth announcement. So taste it Hallmark and Shoebox. The bar has been set. Your move. Read the rest of this entry »

At the Beckham call of the cult of personality
Is David Beckham coming to Australia? Who cares? I don't. His overly tattooed torso, has-been right foot and toothpick wife can come to Australia if they like, or not. I couldn't give a stuff, and we shouldn't either. But we do. We really, really do.
Personalities drive the public's interest in a sport, especially when it's a public not already familiar with that sport, but those personalities rarely have the same effect on the field as they do off it.
The result is sports reporting that focuses on the mediocre effects of a darling or bad boy, which disregards the superior play of a comparatively unknown, or a team effort. Since they haven't married a starlet, kicked goals overseas, or been involved in a drug or sex scandal. (Insert cheap Bulldogs, Sharks, Premier League etc joke here).
A young unknown might score two goals for Melbourne Victory, but if Harry Kewell has a near miss and is maybe injured, that's far bigger news.
Exactly the same thing happens with actors, and all celebrities. Someone gives a standout performance in a film, nobody cares. Someone gets caught with a hooker, has foppish charm and gives a passable performance in a romcom, we collectively lose our minds.
The same problem also exists in politics, with all that attention still going to Kevin Rudd, and on television, where people remain interested in Lara Bingle. I honestly don't know why anyone was ever interested in her. By mentioning her here, I know I'm not helping. But the worst offenders? The X-Men, and the way Wolverine hogs all the attention, although his super powers are more shiny than effective. (Any nerds reading this just spilled an energy drink all over World of Warcraft.)
We're so interested in these people because we love a good story, and once the media has created a story around a person, every new morsel of news about them adds to that ongoing narrative. It's not so much what they're doing now that's interesting, it's what they're doing now in context of what they've done.
Hence Brendan Fevola kicking goals in the country is still news.
With the A-League, it's the prioritising of notoriety over talent. Young players are missing out because teams feel like they need to overpay overseas has-beens, in order to drag people to games, and this is one reason our national team is suffering.
Again with movies, male actors too old for action are trotted out repeatedly owing to their profile, and it's all getting a bit squeamish. Especially when there's over 20 years between them and the lead lady.
The AFL fell into the same trap, and by marketing standards, it was a huge success. Israel Falou was never going to be any good at AFL. With rugby league, he's a superstar, but in terms of AFL there are scores of more talented players in lower leagues out there every weekend. Even in the off season.
Using the media generated by his crossing codes, Western Sydney launched their brand, and he was utterly hopeless. But kids took an interest in Izzy, the media reported every time he got near it, or didn't, and when he left the code after two years, he'd generated millions of dollars worth of exposure, easily covering the cost of his contract.
The only problem? He was supposed to be playing football. His efforts at AFL remind me of the American Lingerie Football League. Just look pretty and smile for the camera. Thanks champ.
The NRL also lost out. A spectacular player has sacrificed two of his best years wandering around like he's lost a contact lens. All for cash.
Players who are paid for their profile, and not for their performance, undermine the integrity of all our team sports. In the same way that reality television undermines shows with actual scripts and a point. The media blows the achievements of these individuals so out of proportion, that you'd be forgiven for forgetting that it's a team sport. Piggybacking on someone's established public profile for attention is a cheap, horrible gimmick but while it continues to succeed, it won't be going anywhere.
With this article, I suppose I'm doing something similar. Creating attention for my upcoming stand up show, but there are a few differences. I'm not doing either just for the money, I believe in what I'm writing and I'm not a has been, I'm hopefully a has not yet been. Otherwise, I'll just be another never was.
If you didn't mind this rant, why not come see some live stand up?

Q says:
"His overly tattooed torso, has-been left foot…..."
Ummm…...Beckham's is famous for his right foot, not his left. He never had a left foot to begin with, so it could never be "has been…."
He broke the second metatarsal in his left foot in 2002.
You don't really care do you?
sunny says:
I'm not surprised Izzy was always out of position in AFL games, none of the players are ever on-side. When are the refs in the AFL going to enforce the off-side rule?
The Lingerie Football League is not that bad - I reckon they stack up alright ..but IMO the best part is the huddle so what do I know.
Al B says:
He'd be a great addition…and for a club with foresight could attract the interest in the game to enable the sort of investment required to help slowly evolve Australia into a global footballing heavyweight. We aim for the top in every other sport, why not football?
S.L says:
I heard on the radio that John Singleton was keen to see Becks play a cameo for the Mariners for a few games. Now as a Mariners fan I can't see they need him as they are in great form at the moment but for the publicity and "bums on seats" attraction he brings it would be one of the better financial moves the Mariners have made. I can see Mariners jerseys with "BECKHAM" walking out of sports shops at Erina Fair for months after!
pink says:
I don't care that you don't care..
Becks is gawge, and if given the opportunity me and my girlfriends would make a day of it and actually go and watch him play.
Come on down Becks!
Bacon sandwich says:
Diddums. Thems the breaks for overpaid sports people. I wish I could millions a year for playing quite a boring sport to watch.
And Hugh Grant is a cool guy. I wish I was a cool guy. Waaaaah.
Grandma says:
David Beckham appears to a nice bloke who does charity work and is prepared to spend time with the kids. In my books that makes him a good role model. Any appearance he makes here will increase the profile of the club he's with. Apologies to the soccer fans, but the game is not really high profile, but they'd draw phenominal crowds just to watch him.
I hate pies says:
Becks is still far better than the hacks in the A League; look at how Del Pierro's going at Sydney, and he's gotta be in his 50's by now
Paul says:
"Wolverine… although his super powers are more shiny than effective."
You have GOT to be kidding!
Wolverine's mutation is the ability to insta-heal… through almost anything. If this isn't enough the guy doesn't age (and therefore his knowledge just builds up over time). Coulpled with this the guy has adamantium knives that come out of his hands FFS!! I mean, seriously?!
You cannot tell me that a man who cannot be killed, doesn't age and has indestrucible knives coming out of his hands isn't going to be effective in the majority of situations (and the writers of the 9 streams of X-Man comics agree with me). Sure, he's at a disadvantage against someone who controls metal, but it's a paper scissors rock thing.
Also, think about day to day life with Wolverine around: "I can't open this can.. Thanks Wolvie", "Can someone get that child out of a burning building? Great work!", "My daughter's boyfriend didn't bring her home on time…" Well, you get the idea.
In summary, Wolverine IS an effective X-Man, he is also a leader and a generally nice guy. You should be thankful for his contributions both to man and mutantkind.
I can't believe you wrote this article just to 'dis Wolverine…
D says:
Yawn. Beckham would be the best midfielder in the A-League - and that's by performance, not promotion. Frankly, he could still play in Europe's top leagues, should he choose. There are rumours PSG (mega-rich Champions League team) are looking at him - and given his past with Carlo Ancelotti (at Milan 2-3 years ago), that's one of the few rumours going around at the moment that I'd give credence to.
Flutz says:
In general I agree wtih the overall tone of your article. I do however take issue with "His efforts at AFL remind me of the American Lingerie Football League. Just look pretty and smile for the camera. Thanks champ." Have you actually watched the LFL? Once you get over the (almost lack of) uniforms, these are some seriously talented ladies with some great gridiron skills.

Rating: 4.00 out of 4 votes cast
Delicately Beautiful
I bought this dress in pink lemonade. Beautiful color and love the pintucks,very comfortable. Buy the size you wear,this dress is true to size. I love the linen material!
This is a beautiful dress, the quality is very nice, and the fabric is a wonderful. Size PS was still way too big for 4-6 sizes.
Love this dress! I ordered the banana cream and pink lemonade and have received many compliments! The pintucked front is very nicely done and adds a nice simple detail. Very cool and comfortable of which you can dress up or down for a casual look. Ordered my exact size and it perfect!
Poor Quality
This dress looked really great in the pic but when I got it i was so disappointed. It was too big and the material was really poor quality. I couldn't return it because the time ran out for me to do so or I would have. Will bring it to a consignment store.

Great for $3 – You can't really beat a $3 wash and self vacuum. It does leave water spots, though. Maybe they need a better chemical drying agent instead of that rag mitter curtain.
Fast and Affordable – I went to get a $3.00 carwash,,,but chose the $10 Works Wash since it included everything.
and it would have cost me about $20 to buy all the supplies at the store and wash my car at home.

is it as bad as the last new pixies song?
jesus i just realized that last song came out like ten years ago.
never said i didn't like them. i just don't care for the two songs they've put out since their reunion.
also i think their reunion needed to end years ago.
and it's not The Pixies, you fake.
yeah i guess i shouldn't be surprised that you don't mind looking/sounding like an idiot.
there's a difference between "the" and "The."
if you know, then you should be typing "the Pixies" or "the Bad Brains" instead of the stupid way you've been doing it.
This is true.

Based on the award-winning novel by Howard Frank Mosher, Disappearances stars Kris Kristofferson and Genevieve Bujold. A dozen Marlboro College students and alums worked on the set of the film.
In 1932, months before the repeal of the Prohibition Act, Quebec Bill Bonhomme (Kris Kristofferson) and his son, Wild Bill Bonhomme (Charlie McDermott) turn to the traditional family occupation of whiskey-smuggling in order to save their cattle herd. Their bootlegging expedition turns into an unforgettable journey through Canadian wilderness and into a haunted and mysterious past.

Hello everyone,
I am a CS master student @ berkeley doing architecture research. Recently, my advisor showed some interest in game development and I have been itching for a new hobby so I decided to look into game development. I need some help with deciding where to begin so I will describe to you my skill set as detailed as possible.
I have been programming with c++ for over 9 years but it has been mostly for command line unix systems. I am quite adept at the syntax of c++ and I do not think the language will be my bottleneck. However, I am a bit concerned with developing because I have always been so attached to unix based systems that I have never used VS or any type of IDE (vim and makefile/configure has always been what I've used).
In terms of graphics I have moderate knowledge of the concepts. I have done a few projects including a basic phong shader with u-v mapped textures, a full ray tracer from scratch (with reflection, refraction, various shaped primitives etc), and some applications with bezier surfaces and curves. I am moderately familiar with pre nvidia 7xxx series gpu architectures since I designed and implemented a simple fixed point gpu with unified shaders on a fpga board using verilog. I am also familiar with maya which I have used to produce two < 5 min long movie with a group of 5 or so students.
So given my given my relevant skills, I am wondering if my life will be easier to start from scratch and build my own 3d engine or to use one available online. If the latter, could you please recommend an engine I should look into? Probably a 3d fps engine would be sufficient i think.
Thanks for the help :)
Also, i found I found http://www.directxtutorial.com/Tutorial9/tutorials.aspx to be very helpful. Are there any others like this?

PELL CITY — The St. Clair County Commission approved a third round of potential road projects to send to Montgomery for the Alabama Transportation Rehabilitation and Improvement Program at its regular meeting Tuesday.
The program — which uses federal highway money to back a bond issue that will support $1 billion in roadway improvements across the state — has already approved one St. Clair project: resurfacing of St. Clair 26. St. Clair County engineer Dan Dahlke said he has already submitted five more road projects for the second "round" of the program.
On Tuesday, commissioners approved a third "round" of proposals, of 16 road projects that total over 86 miles of roadway. Dahlke said the county's total proposed to the state will be over $26 million, with a local match required of 20 percent.
"This is a good program," Commissioner Paul Manning said. "We are going to have to give some thought to how we produce our 20 percent match. We will discuss that further shortly."
Roads on Tuesday's list were as follows: Double Bridge Road, Kerr Road, Mountain View Road, Camp Creek Road, Old Coal City Road, Greensport Road, Old Springville Road, Shoal Creek Road, Kelly Creek Road, Shanghai Road, Wolf Creek Road North, Chandler Mountain Road, St. Clair 26 (the Ashville end), St. Clair 21, St. Clair 22 and St. Clair 31.
The road projects — assuming they are approved — will be in the hands of private contractors, and will be approved over the span of five years.
In other business, the commission:
• Appointed Mike Fricker to the St. Clair County Airport Authority; Gary Smith to the New London Water, Sewer and Fire Authority; and Chairman Stan Batemon as the county's representative to the Community Action Agency of Northeast Alabama.
• Approved a budget amendment to the county's general fund of $1,327.33, to fund the difference for repairs to Paint Rock Cemetery. The total repair estimate is $7,500, and the Federal Emergency Management Agency approved funding of $6,422.27.
• Named Rena Brown to fill the vacant accounting clerk position, following the retirement of Sharyn Jackson. The commission also posted the vacancy for administrative assistant.
• Approved a recommendation to post the vacancies for an occasional deputy and occasional jailer.
• Approved a gate for the drive going into the old rescue building.
• Accepted the resignation of Carolyn Stern from the St. Clair County Library Board.
• Approved the minutes of the Jan. 8 regular meeting.
• Approved payment of monthly bills.

While the Lady Bobcats started the season hot and remained that way all the way through to this week's Class 2A state semifinals at Birmingham's BJCC Arena, the Purple Devils got off to a slow start on their way to the 1A boys state semifinals. Even with only six losses for the year, Ragland coach Andy Eden said his team could have played better at the beginning of the year.
"I don't know if it was the maturity or the comfort, but we played in the Thanksgiving tournament in Haleyville even though I usually don't like to because of football," Eden said. "And we hadn't practiced but about three times."
In that tournament, Ragland started its season with a loss to Class 1A Parrish before winning its next two games. As the season progressed, the Purple Devils added a loss here and there, but nothing to raise any eyebrows.
But as the 2013 calendar year started, Ragland lost to 5A Mortimer Jordan 65-57 on Jan. 3 and 4A Corner 53-43 two days later. After that, the losses stopped.
"We went from losing those two ballgames to winning the rest of them," Eden said. "I don't know that it just didn't take us until after Christmas to really come to together as a team. After that two-game stretch, we went to our county tournament and won it for the first time in 17 years."
Riding a 14-game winning streak into today's game against Brantley (20-5) at 4:30 p.m., Ragland (27-6) has been led by Cody Jones, who scored 37 points against Skyline in the Northeast Regional final, and Jimmy Brock. Junior Kijana Lindsey is also a large contributor.
"There are seven seniors on this team, and they were in first grade when I got here, so they've been together all that length of time," Eden said. "They were a special group in junior high, winning the county tournament in junior varsity and on B-team. They've came up together, and we've even got kids that don't start that are leaders."
Looking at today's matchup with Brantley, Eden said he is concerned with the size of the Bulldogs. Brantley has seven players standing 6-foot-1 or taller, including an inside game that features 6-4 Anpherne Canty, 6-4 Stefan King and 6-3 Taylor Driggers. The Bulldogs also have son of former Auburn great Wesley Person, a junior who also is named Wesley.
"The last time I think Ragland was in the Final Four was over 20 years ago," Eden said. "I guess also in every sport we've been close, and I think this says a lot about the guys. I think they really wanted to get over the hump and get to that championship level, but, of course, we still have work to do in Birmingham."
As opposed to Ragland's slow start, Woodland girls rolled on their way to the 2A semifinals. The Lady Bobcats' last time to make it this far was 2011 when they got to the state finals before losing.
Woodland (32-2) has lost only to Class 5A semifinalist Brewer and Belmont (Miss.) High.
"The team chemistry amongst them, knowing where everyone is going to be and playing together so long, they know each other and what each other are going to do," Woodland coach Larry Strain said. "Being able to use that in a game is huge for us."
He said starters Leah Strain, Shanna Strain, Amy Strain, Shayln Strain and Jaide Walker have played together since about the third grade. They have helped form what Strain calls the "nucleus" of the team.
"When I say the nucleus, I mean there are about five of them, my five starters, that have been playing together that long," Strain said. "It goes back to grammar school, but with those five, there are two or three that have come along. So that makes six, seven or eight that have been playing with us since seventh grade."
After Woodland's first-round regional win over North Sand Mountain, Leah Strain expressed nerves before the contest, which came down almost to the wire, with Woodland winning 63-53. Larry Strain said Sunday that it wasn't nerves about the game itself as much as the Lady Bobcats trying to live up to expectations.
"Back when they were all ninth-graders, except Amy, people were questioning me of why we didn't make it years before that," Strain said. "I had Courtney, my oldest daughter, when Leah, Shanna, Shayln and Jaide were seventh-graders, and they were starting and playing with us then as seventh-graders. The deal was I thought I got a group of young ladies that played hard and had played together for a long time, but it's also hard for seventh-graders to compete against seniors.
"They were not mature enough at that time. Now, this is five years in a row that we've won over 30 ballgames."
However, with Amy being a senior and the rest juniors, it's starting to come together for Woodland, which won the Northeast Regional by defeating Lanett 69-43 on Thursday. The following day, Strain took a road trip to see the Central Regional, which Prattville Christian won, and the South Regional, which Providence Christian won.
Providence Christian (27-3) will face Woodland today at 9 a.m. at the BJCC Arena.
"They've got two really good players with one being the coach's daughter. … They're really athletic, really quick and get up and down the floor well with the basketball," Strain said. "They're a lot like us in some respects. It helps me a little to see my opponent, but it really doesn't do justice until the game begins."
Now with Woodland back on the big stage, the pressure that was regionals has shifted, and the Bobcats have a chance to avenge the way the season ended two years ago.
"This is something they've been working for all year or since 2011," Strain said. "I think we have confidence since we've won our regional, but we just want to make sure we do what we're supposed to do and play how we're supposed to play when it matters. And right now is when it matters."

In Detail
Autodesk Maya is a 3D computer graphics software. It offers a vast and flexible set of features utilizing Python. It is not difficult to get started using Python in Autodesk Maya, but it can be difficult to go from writing procedural, MEL-inspired tools, to building the powerful-yet-simple systems that Python promises.
"Practical Maya Programming with Python" will help you master both Python and Maya. With thorough explanations, illustrative examples, and complete sample projects, you will learn how to use Python to charm Maya into obeying your every command. Practical Maya Programming with Python will teach you how PyMEL works as well as how to deal with errors and write composable codes in Python.
"Practical Maya Programming with Python" will progressively build your knowledge of Maya and Python and will teach you how they integrate to create powerful 3D graphics. You will start by exploring the design of PyMEL and Maya's node architecture and finish by simplifying and automating things that you previously thought were impossible.

"These cards, while a bit expensive, were worth the buy. I looked around quite a bit before settling on these and they came exactly as expected. I only wish that there was an option, even if a little more expensive, to add actual glitter. The glittery part is a printed imitation if anybody didn't already figure that out."
"I love the idea of this wishes for baby card! It'll be something mom can keep and go back later to read and remember her shower. The card stock used is top notch as usual. Love it!"
"I love that it wasn't so pastel and "baby" since mom is in her 30s. The card stock used was flawless and of very good quality. Everyone has commented on the quality of envelope as well. Very elegant but still fun. Love love Tiny Prints!"
"My husband and I are expecting our first child this August and wanted to have a get together with all of our couple friends but didn't want to have a typical baby shower. I stumbled across these Baby Shower BBQ invitations and knew that they were PERFECT for us! I have received so many compliments on them already! They're classy and so unique!"
"I loved this shower invitation! The colors printed exactly like they look in the preview and i've not nothing but great reviews from friends and family invited to our baby shower! The ONE drawback is how expensive the matching thank-you cards are. I ended up finding some in a primary color from Party city."

Case Number # 2037
Earthjustice is representing commercial and recreational fishermen in challenging two government agencies for failing to protect river herring and shad from being caught and killed by Atlantic industrial fisheries. The lawsuit challenges the National Marine Fisheries Service and the Atlantic States Marine Fisheries Commission for failure to conserve and manage river herring and shad populations under the Magnuson-Stevens Act and the Atlantic Coast Fisheries Cooperative Management Act, which were put in place to prevent overfishing, rebuild depleted stocks, establish annual catch limits and accountability measures and minimize bycatch.
River herring are a critical component of the coastal ecosystem along the Eastern seaboard, providing a significant source of food for a variety of fish, birds and mammals. Since 1985 there has been over a 90 percent decline in river herring populations, according to recent data. Shad is a separate fish species and similarly threatened. Both of these fish populations continue to be decimated by the unregulated catch by industrial midwater trawl fishermen.
The suit calls on the agencies to develop a recovery plan to protect East Coast river herring and shad populations to help stem their decline.
