Smash plates at Philippine eateryThursday March 30, 2006 Ardith Vescara is an angry young woman.

On top of family and academic pressure, the 13-year-old Filipino says boys tease her at school.

But instead of letting her emotions eat away at her, she is treating herself to an unusual form of anger management.

At the Isdaan restaurant in Gerona, about three hours north of Manila, Vescara and other patrons work out their stress for 15 pesos (40 cents) a go by hurling plates at the "wall of fury" emblazoned with words such as ex-wife, boss and lover.

A shout of "tacsiyapo" - or "shame on you" in the local dialect - usually accompanies the sound of smashing crockery.

Vases and bowls are also available, while the wealthier of the furious patrons can toss an old TV set for 1,300 pesos ($35.80).

Not only is throwing things at the restaurant much cheaper than yoga lessons or professional therapy, it is a lot more fun.

In a letter, the Lagoon Pond Drawbridge committee, a citizen planning group, had asked state and town police to strictly enforce the existing speed limits and weight limits to avoid overloading the bridge.

The letter also asked that truckers, particularly those carrying loads approaching the bridge's capacity, voluntarily follow an alternative route via Vineyard Haven-Edgartown Road to Edgartown, or Barnes Road or County Road to Oak Bluffs.

The committee's goal is to prevent the premature closing of the bridge, which is to be replaced by a temporary bridge, and then finally, by a permanent bridge.

The bridge is currently rated for the posted weight limits of 12, 15 and 24 tons for 2-, 3- and 5-axle trucks, respectively.

Engineers have recommended decreasing the weight...
