Lam showed a pair of queens after the queen-nine-five flop and went all-in with $22.2 million in chips looking to double up Yang, who held a pair of eights. After a seven on the turn, Yang needed an eight (for a set) or a six (for a nine-high straight). The six of hearts dropped on the river giving Yang a nine-high straight and a heartwarming victory .

This evening "The King of Queens" (CBS) signs off after nine seasons with a two-parter, "China Syndrome." Apparently, it's a doozie. It's also being entered into the Emmy races for lead actor Kevin James ), actress Leah Remini and Jerry Stiller (supporting actor). (goldderby.latimes.com....y/2007/05/)
Good for The King of Queens for going out in style with its sweet hourlong finale, The China Syndrome , Parts 1 and 2, on Monday. I've always thought the show was underrated, particularly Leah Remini in her role as leading lady to Kevin James. And how can you not appreciate a show that kept Jerry Stiller and Anne Meara together in primetime on and off for nine years. Queens beat the odds from the start when it was passed on at the pilot stage by NBC and rescued by CBS.

Death From Above 1979 â The literal definition of an orchestrated mess. Debuting in 2004, with their album, âYouâre a Woman, Iâm a Machineâ (Bassist/synth) Jesse Keeler and (Drummer/vocalist) Sebastien Grainger tore out of Toronto with a mission to melt the faces of the alt rock world, and do so they did. Their rhythmic sound was pushed to its very limits during every song, and they eventually arrived at a massively overdriven punk rock/slight techno conclusion. Such energy got them booked on tours with the likes of Nine inch Nails and Queens of the Stone Age. But, unfortunately though after an EP (Headâs up) and a few singles, the duo went there separate ways (lastfm.spiegel.de....18/651950/)

This willingness to rap openly and brashly and the attention it attracted came back to haunt him, however. His first post-success brush with death came shortly after the release of "How to Rob," when he was stabbed at the Hit Factory studio on West 54th Street in Manhattan . Shortly afterward came his most storied incident. On May 24, 2000, just before Columbia was set to release Power of the Dollar, an assassin attempted to take 50's life on 161st Street in Jamaica, Queens (near where Jam Master Jay would later be fatally shot two and half years later), shooting him nine times with a 9mm pistol while the rapper sat helpless in the passenger seat of a car.

Queens, New York 's Curtis Jackson overcame a tough childhood to become one of the world's leading rap artists, 50 Cent . The most famous person in show business to be shot nine times was born on July 6, 1975, under the sign of Cancer. This water sign is known for its sensitivity and, frequently, its desire to pull up its shell and avoid conflict. 50 clearly is not one of those Crabs. He didn't survive the mean streets of New York City by being a softie. Astrology's two toughest planets are connected to his Cancer Sun, giving him an uncharacteristic force of will and capacity to take a shot (or nine) and keep moving forward. Saturn conjoined with 50's otherwise cuddly Cancer Sun adds concentration, commitment and ambition to his personality. Pluto's tense 90-degree square brings persistence and the power to overcome even the toughest obstacles and transform a loss into a gain. Instead of being brought down by life on the street, 50 turned his story into rap, catapulting him to fame and fortu (horoscopes.aol.com....er/50-cent)

It should be noted also that there were only nine counties in the peninsula of Nova Scotia at this time, Annapolis, Cumberland, Halifax , Hants, Kings, Lunenburg, Queens, Shelburne and Sydney , the last two having been organized in 1784, after the Loyalists had arrived. Though some grants had been made out before these two counties were marked off and are located in Queens and Halifax they are shown in this list in the new counties of Shelburne and Sydney (Antigonish and Guysborough). No attempt was made to revise the list in accordance with later revisions of the boundaries of Annapolis, Cumberland, Hants and Kings, but the general location of these Loyalists will be sufficiently clear to anyone who has a working knowledge of the geography of Nova Scotia (globalgenealogy.com....101080.htm)

Because you have a pair of queens, you must assume that if either of the other two queens hit, it will improve your hand to make you the winner. There are also three remaining aces that will improve you to two pair. This makes five outs. In addition, if any club hits, it will give you an ace high flush. So you have nine other outs (the remaining clubs). This gives you 14 outs. Now you have seen five cards (your hole cards and the three on the flop out of a 52 card deck. This leaves 47 unseen cards before the turn. This means that 14 out of 47 cards can come on the turn and improve your hand, and 33 will not help you at all. This makes the odds roughly 2.4 to 1 (entertainment.howstuffworks.com....-odds1.htm)

In blackjack, the suits have no meaning . Number cards have a value equal to their number, while all the picture cards (Jacks, Queens, and Kings) are worth 10. Aces can be worth 11 or one, whichever is more beneficial to the person holding the hand. For example, a hand with an Ace and an Eight is worth 19 (the Ace is valued at 11, known as a soft Ace ). A hand with an Ace, a Four, and a Nine is worth 14 (the Ace is valued at one, known as a hard Ace , because if it were valued at 11 the hand would bust) (entertainment.h....kjack2.htm)

Based on true events recounted in a non-fiction novel by Argentinianwriter/critic Ricardo Piglia, and directed by former producer MarceloPiñeyro (THE OFFICIAL STORY ), BURNT MONEY is a masterpiece.Photographed with noirish intensity by Alfredo Mayo (HIGH HEELS) andunderscored by an ironic soundtrack of lazy jazz and contemporaryEnglish/Spanish pop songs, the narrative is driven by powerful emotionswhich explode at regular intervals in outpourings of explicit sex andviolence. The sacred and profane are interlinked in various ways (oneextraordinary sequence cross-cuts between an act of worship in aUruguayan church and an unpleasant encounter between Nene and afrightened youth in a public toilet), and the sweaty atmosphere isbroken only by an explosive climax where the main protagonists areforced to take responsibility for their actions.

Queens Regional Council At least nine municipalities, from Barrington in the southwest to Inverness County in Cape Breton, are calling on the province to bring back front licence plates for ordinary automobiles and other vehicles, citing school bus safety and policing concerns. In a cost-cutting move, the province dropped front plates from passenger vehicles in November 1995. The Nova Scotia Chiefs of Police Association did not object. Eliminating one plate has saved the province about $160,000 per year, says Robyn McIsaac, director of communications for the Department of Business and Consumer Services. &Is a child's life worth $160,000?& asks Barrington Municipal Councillor Angus Atkinson, who is also a school bus driver . He says the number of oncoming vehicles passing his bus when its red lights are flashing 52; meaning he is stopped to either let off or pick up children 52; has doubled to about 15 a year since 1995.

2000 July 26 Time Runs Out for Liverpool 's Parking Meters The Municipality of the Region of Queens has decided to remove the parking meters in downtown Liverpool . The decision came after the South Queens Chamber of Commerce encouraged the regional council to remove the meters believing it would help stimulate business. The eighty existing meters have been generating about $25,000 a year in parking revenue and fines. The issue surfaced when Senior Constable John Croft reported that nine outdated meters are in need of repair and parts are no longer available. Last week, another five meters were reported to be not working. Replacing the entire fleet of eighty meters has been estimated to cost about $25,000. The removal of the meters has been under consideration for some time. In its 2000-2001 budget, approved several months ago, the regional council eliminated the line item which indicates revenue from parking meters and fines (www.alts.net....ist63.html)
