Harvard symbologist Robert Langdon is summoned to deliver an evening lecture in the U.S. Capitol. Within minutes of his arrival, the night takes a bizarre turn. A disturbing object - artfully encoded with five ancient symbols - is discovered in the Capitol Building. The object is an ancient invitation, meant to usher its recipient into a long-lost world of hidden esoteric wisdom. And when Langdon's mentor Peter Solomon - prominent Mason and philanthropist - is kidnapped, Langdon's only hope of saving Peter is to accept this invitation and follow wherever it leads him. Langdon finds himself plunged into a clandestine world of Masonic secrets, hidden history, and never-before-seen locations...all of which seem to be dragging him toward a single, inconceivable truth.
The Lost Symbol is exactly what Dan Brown's fans have been waiting for...his most thrilling novel yet.
©2009 Dan Brown; (P)2009 Random House Audio
"[I]mpossible to put down....Mr. Brown was writing sensational visual scenarios long before his books became movie material. This time he again enlivens his story with amazing imagery....Thanks to him, picture postcards of the capital's most famous monuments will never be the same....In the end it is Mr. Brown's sweet optimism, even more than Langdon's sleuthing and explicating, that may amaze his readers most." (The New York Times)
"Thrilling, entertaining....Robert Langdon goes for another roller-coaster ride - this time in a hunt for a Masonic treasure in Washington, D.C." (Los Angeles Times)
"Not his best"
Although a big fan, I was not impressed with this read. Too much story for such a let down in the end.
Loved his other books, but this one...not so much...Long on detail...repeated over and over and over again just in case you missed it the first 10 times. Cookie cutter action...same old formula with different names and places. Very preachy...is he trying to start a new religion?
"In love with books again"
I havent enjoyed a good book in quite a long time. I grabbed this just because it was on the Best Seller list. I had never read or watched the Davinci Code. I LOVED this book and I love Robert Langdon. I love the symbolism mixed with religion and Masonry. Since reading this book I went back and grabbed Angels n Demons which I enjoyed equally. Davinci Code and me have a date next weekend while on family vacation. I find the books very easy to read, without too much filler. I personally can live without the few times where Dan Brown crosses reality over to futuristic transportaion, fuels and weapons. I much prefer stories that teeter right on the edge of reality making me question the fine line of what is believeable. Overall though... a great book. PC
"writing was okay, narrating was mediocre"
The book was good, even gripping through the first half. Then it became redundant and very predictable. And the end sounded like an excited school child preaching to you you about the wonder of God. The last four chapters felt like they were never going to end; dragging on and on and going nowhere. I appreciate the insight Brown was trying to portray there, but it was done rather poorly.
As for the Narrater, Paul Michael, he would blend his voices into the narration and at times I felt like he completely forgot which character he was portraying. He wasn't terrible, and was certainly listenable. But he could have been much more consistent.
Overall, A good book, not great, but good. It won't become anybody's favorite book. Fan's of Dan Brown will more than likely enjoy it though I don't expect anyone to be terribly impressed.
Audible has changed my life! Dry , itchy eyes were destroying one of my greatest pleasures - reading. Now I am experiencing books again!
"Do Not Go There!"
Please do yourself a favor and skip this. I rather enjoyed reading the books "DaVinci Code" and "Angels and Demons", but these books do not transfer well to audio. Endless, endless mediocre (and that's being kind) language! All Brown's weaknesses are amplified in audio (if you will!)
I'm not an anti-Brown snob, but there are so many better thrillers to listen to!
"Great book."
This book is awesome. Once again Dan Brown has written an exciting adventure. Can't wait for another Robert Langdon Adventure.
This was a great book. Very fast paced and full of interesting information. I thought that the first book would be a really hard book to top, but it really did a good job in following up the Di Vinci Code.
I couldn't wait for this book to become available, and I downloaded it immediately. I loved "Angels and Demons" and "The Davinci Code". Unfortunately, this book really fell short. The facts are interesting, but I never felt myself "sitting on the edge of my seat". I still don't see the big "national security" issue. It was so overblown that it was a let down when it was revealed. Likewise, the big twist in the story was fairly obvious by the time I was half way through the book. I think it is worth the credit. It held my attention, but it doesn't even come close to his previous works.
"All over the place"
I am finding this novel rather difficult to get into. It seems like a hodge podge of ideas with no coherant storyline. I'm just not caring about the characters, and I am bored by yet anotehr masochistic villain. The albino monk was enough from the first book.
"Good escape"
This book is not a leap from Dan Brown's other books. It was great escapism and there were some good moments...I am a geek and I liked the "lectures" throughout. As a mystery - not so much - I figured out the staircase about chapter 10 - won't spoil it for others.
This is not Shakespeare but a good story and probably written for the 3rd movie. Enjoy and take it as a bit of a vacation from real life. Don't bother if you want deep characters and a believable story.

The Company and the Coffee:
Stella Java strives to provide the highest quality coffee, espresso drinks and baked goods, only using the best ingredients possible. Not only do we serve a great cup of coffee, you can have a great conversation with one of our wonderful baristas you can relax in the large plaza in
the beautiful Mercado San Agustin.
Locally Roasted:
We feature Exo Roast Co. freshest roasts and will never serve you beans more than two weeks old. That's fresh! Exo is a Tucson micro-roaster started by three partners with a common goal: to obtain the world's finest coffees, craft roast them to optimize their distinctive characteristics, and distribute them in limited quantities to ensure unequaled quality and freshness. Stella Java commitment to superior coffee requires continuous dedication. We work with Exo because our friends there are constantly engaged in the highly competitive process of sourcing the most exemplary coffees from each of the significant growing regions of the world. These limited-production coffees are coveted by the country's finest micro-roasters, and therefore are always in short supply. Each month Exo selects dozens of promising green coffee samples for express shipment to their Tucson roastery. Only a few of the samples Exo master roaster evaluates make it onto our offerings list at Stella Java.
For Stella Java, the roasting process is a personal one. Each coffee is unique, and we develop a specific roast profile to bring out the finest aspects of its character- the jasmine florality of a good Guatemalan, the forest earthiness of a Sumatran, the citrus or berry fruit notes of an Ethiopian. To reach this flavor potential, every Exo roast is manually craft-roasted in small batches on a beautiful gas-fired German Probat roaster by one of the company owners. No button pushing, no computer programs.
Coffee stales. A coffee that is several weeks old will pale in flavor next to that same coffee when it was fresh. Character, intensity, and depth weaken over time, and no amount of vacuum sealing, refrigeration, or advertising promises will change that. Freshness is simply fundamental to the optimal coffee experience, and Stella is committed to delivering beans roasted within the few days.
Social Responsibility:
Stella Java is committed to socially responsible and environmentally sustainable coffee. All of our coffees come from small, shade-grown farms. We have a strong preference for fair trade and organic coffees, and they will always predominate on our offerings list. At the same time, like the other top micro roasters in the country, we recognize that not every premium coffee can be certified organic. This is often a simple matter of smaller farmers' inability to afford certification. To reject a coffee on that basis may mean rejecting one of the most highly prized coffees on the market as well as ignoring the care smaller farmers put into their crops. We make it a point to know as much about our coffee's specific origins as possible and strive to select coffees that are both superior in taste and conscientiously produced and procured.
We're proud to serve beans from EXO Roast Company, the best roasters in tucson!

Hall Of Fame 2014
KISS, NIRVANA, DARYL HALL & JOHN OATES, PETER GABRIEL, CAT STEVENS, and LINDA RONSTADT will be inducted as the Class of 2014 into the ROCK AND ROLL HALL OF FAME at the Hall's APRIL 10th induction ceremony at the BARCLAYS CENTER in BROOKLYN.
Im OK with pretty much everyone getting in - although, KISS' Gene Simmons has been such a jerk about it, I almost wish the Hall would have snubbed the band. Let's face it, the reason KISS has the popularity they had was because of the era from 1973-1980 with all 4 original members - Ace, Peter, Gene and Paul. That was KISS. They were metal-pop. They had this metal image, but muscally, they were pretty mainstream pop/rock. I loved albums like 'Rock And Roll Over' and 'Destroyer'. Classic KISS.
Nirvana gets in because of what they did in 1991 moreso than the body of music they put out. While 'Nevermind' is a classic rock album, they only released 2 studio albums. However, their immediate impact was a game-changer. Their debut changed the entire landscape for rock music. The hair bands were still dominating the charts and there was a lot of bad rock music being released. "Smells Like Teen Spirit" in 1991 was heavy and angry - and I remember at that time thinking, "I can't play this during the day - it's WAY too heavy!". So, we only played it after 7PM when mostly teens were listening. I didn't want to freak out our 30 year old listeners. Quite amazing to look back and remember the impact that song had. Of course, that restrictive time slot didn't last long. Soon, it was the most played song on the radio station I was programming. Does Nirvana deserve to get into the Hall over such legends as Yes or Deep Purple? When comparing the impact the band had at that time - I say they do.
You cannot deny Daryl Hall & John Oates. The duo created some of the best pop music on the radio from 1976 to 1986. Hit after hit, all done with such respect to the legends they grew up with like the Temptations, Smokey Robinson and the Miracles and so many other great soul artists from the 1960's. Hall & Oates clearly deserve an induction into the Hall of Fame.
Peter Gabriel first hit the pop charts with 1982's "Shock The Monkey" and I still love that song. Peter was different and unique and his music was always cutting edge in a time and era where pop music was pretty disposable. His vocals and songwriting created some truly great songs over his career and his innovative videos were all over MTV. Who doesn't enjoy watching the video for 'Sledgehammer'? Good stuff.
Cat Stevens. I admit, I am a huge fan of Cat and I own just about everything he did in the 70's. Talk about a one-of-a-kind vocalist. He wrote songs that could be so happy and positive ("Peace Train") and the next song would depress the hell out of someone ("Sad Lisa"). While his politics and his change to Islam confused me at the time, I respect who he is as an artist and his music. He created songs that have stood the test of time and are still played on Classic Hits stations today.
Finally, the one and only Linda Ronstadt. First of all, if you have grown up with the image of Linda in the 90's, then you should Google some pictures of Linda in the 1970's. I was crazy about her in the 70's. She was so beautiful and she had such an amazing voice. From her solo debut in 1970 all the way into the 90's, Linda recorded sone pretty great songs. I wasn't always a fan of everything she recorded, but I was always in love with such gems as "You're No Good", "Hurt So Bad", "How Do I Make You", "Ooh Baby Baby" and "Blue Bayou". One cool thing about Linda was, she didn't write any of her hits and most of the time, she recorded old songs that I didn't know about until SHE recorded them and made them hits. Sadly, she can't "sing a note" according to her because of Parkinson's disease.
Two bands were passed over who deserve to get into the Hall and I'm sure they will: Yes and Deep Purple.

I'd be for this only if it's in reference to contracts that you drafted in the INITIAL league draft. None of us knew how the contract was structured when we drafted and may have been stuck with a sub-par player with a blaoted contract. I agree with that. Although, I don't think we should have it for any other players that we traded for, drafted, or signed. Only for ones that YOU drafted first.

Sole, Rock – Pacific Ocean (Alaska and British Columbia)
Southern and Northern Rock Soles are commercially important Pacific groundfish. Rock Soles grow at a moderate rate and can live up to 30 years.
Thanks to successful management measures, Rock Sole are at high levels of abundance throughout their range. Bottom trawling for Rock Soles takes place over sand/mud habitats, which are not as damaged by trawling as other habitats can be. There are some concerns about catches of non-target species.
The Alaska fishery has been certified as sustainable by the Marine Stewardship Council.

ONONDAGA COUNTY, N.Y. -- A change in how people can access Onondaga County's property tax database has sparked a debate over balancing privacy and safety. On Monday, County Executive Joanie Mahoney changed the way you can search the property tax rolls on the county's website. Previously, you could search by name, but now you can only search by address.
Mahoney says she made the change to protect police officers and other public officials whose home addresses could be discovered by people looking to harm them. But many people are opposed to the change, like realtors and groups who target slum lords. Now, Mahoney is searching for a solution that would work for everyone.
"We're considering an opt in and opt out solution, I'm open to other suggestions if people have them, but the opt out would put all of the information back online, then let people sign up as if it is a do not call registry and take their own information off, and the opt in would be something like the MLS system that realtors use where they have a user name to access the information," said Mahoney.
Mahoney says the changes are a work in progress, but she hopes to finalize them as soon as possible.

NFPA 403: Standard for Aircraft Rescue and Fire-Fighting Services at Airports, 2009 Edition
|Item # 40309
|Member *
|Table of Contents
|Quantity Discounts
NFPA 403 is revised to reflect FAA changes and new tactics in aircraft rescue and fire fighting. Make sure every airport is equipped for emergencies!
NFPA 403: Standard for Aircraft Rescue and Fire-Fighting Services at Airports addresses the minimum number of fire service vehicles and the amount of extinguishing agent vehicles must carry to the scene of an aircraft accident. The 2009 edition reflects FAA changes in airport category classification, based on scheduled service of aircraft with more than nine passenger seats.
Other major changes for 2009:
- First-time discussion on the use of specialized vehicles in fire suppression covers larger aircraft, such as Airbus A380s, that cannot be accessed by the use of ground ladders and normal ARFF vehicles.
- New Annex material addressing accident scenarios, and how location and other factors could influence a "worst case scenario" at a given airport.
- New Annex material assists airport operators in dealing with airport staffing, including discussion on how to conduct a task and resource analysis, and discussion of goals and objectives for ARFF staff.
Professionals responsible for fire safety at airports--and AHJs whose jurisdiction includes an airport of any size--need the 2009 NFPA 403 to ensure disaster and emergency preparedness. (Softbound, 29 pp., 2009)

Just days after voicing confidence in the airworthiness of the Boeing 787, federal regulators grounded the next-generation jets Wednesday, ordering the planemaker to show that batteries used on the jet are safe.
For weeks, Boeing has had to defend its 787 Dreamliner's technical problems, ranging from fuel leaks, to an on-the-ground fire linked to a battery. But after an in-flight scare over a burning smell in the cockpit forced an All Nippon Airways flight to make an emergency landing Tuesday, the Chicago planemaker faces a crisis that could last days or far longer.
Late Wednesday, the FAA grounded the Boeing 787 because of potential fires from its lithium ion batteries. The order affected only United Airlines and its six Dreamliners because it is the only U.S. carrier that has them. Its action may prompt aviation authorities worldwide to ground the planes.
The FAA grounding could lead to major costly repercussions for the revolutionary new model made from lighter-weight materials and designed to save airlines money in fuel expense, analysts say.
"Boeing may have to rethink the battery system," said F. Carter Leake, aerospace senior equity research analyst at BB&T Capital Markets. And that could result in changes to the architecture of the 787s electrical systems and affect the energy efficiency of the plane, he said.
"Now you have this very nebulous situation," Leake said. "Planes are grounded. We're waiting on a fix and we don't know what the fix will be."
ANA and Japan Airlines voluntarily grounded their 787s, which involved 24 planes, or close to half of the 50 787s that have been delivered.
The 787s already were under scrutiny. The FAA ordered a review of the Dreamliners' "critical systems" Friday after a series of problems, including a fire aboard a JAL 787 while it was on the ground and empty of passengers in Boston.
Even as they ordered the review, FAA officials and Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood said the 787s were safe to fly. LaHood repeated that assurance to reporters at a Washington luncheon Wednesday, hours before the grounding order, according to AP.
"Our people are the best, but we need to work with Boeing and to make sure everything we've done has been done correctly," he said.
The FAA's order requires U.S. airlines using the 787 jet to demonstrate that the batteries are safe.
"The battery failures resulted in the release of flammable electrolytes, heat damage and smoke on two model 787 airplanes," the FAA said. "The root cause of these failures is currently under investigation.
"The FAA will work with the manufacturer and carriers to develop a corrective action plan to allow the U.S. 787 fleet to resume operations as quickly and safely as possible," the FAA said.
The FAA order affects U.S. carriers.
United Airlines was the only U.S. airline flying the plane. It has received six of the planes and had been operating daily flights to and from Chicago to Houston.
"This means airlines will have to go through a very careful review, inspection and testing of the batteries themselves and circuitry and show they meet all design requirements," said Hans Weber, president of airline industry consultant Tecop International Inc. "They have to check wiring, run diagnostic tests."
Shares of Boeing fell 3.4 percent, or $2.60, to $74.34 Wednesday, and they were falling in after-hours trading, losing about 2 percent.
In a statement from Boeing, company Chairman Jim McNerney said: "Boeing is committed to supporting the FAA and finding answers as quickly as possible. The company is working around the clock with its customers and the various regulatory and investigative authorities."
The statement continued, "We are confident the 787 is safe and we stand behind its overall integrity. We will be taking every necessary step in the coming days to assure our customers and the traveling public of the 787's safety and to return the airplanes to service. Boeing deeply regrets the impact that recent events have had on the operating schedules of our customers and the inconvenience to them and their passengers."
The recent problems could lead to "slower delivery, higher inventory and a potential change in the production rate planned for 2013," Morningstar Inc. aerospace and defense industry analyst Neal Dihora said, while declining to speculate on how long the planes may be grounded.
Leake thinks the FAA grounding will likely be a matter of days rather than months.
Airlines are expected to ask Boeing to make up any losses they suffer due to the grounding of the planes.
Boeing had planned to ramp up its production of the planes to 10 per month by the end of this year from five per month at the end of last year.
United said Wednesday night that it "will immediately comply with the Airworthiness Directive and will work closely with the FAA and Boeing on the technical review as we work toward restoring 787 service. We will begin reaccommodating customers on alternate aircraft."

To Order by Phone Call 1-800-933-6249
The President's Photographer is the intimate story of the men and women who are both visual historians and key links between the public and the Presidents. Like the film, this behind-the-scenes invitation features the images and recollections of the nine professionals who have served as official White House photographers. (President John F. Kennedy appointed the first, Cecil Stoughton, in 1960; all predecessors were with the U.S. Navy or Park Service). Five of the nine are alive today, and in rare personal interviews, they recount the stories behind the remarkable photographs. Expressive close-ups of presidents reveal moments of joy, reflection, and turmoil over public issues and private challenges. Unexpected angles cast new light on historic events. Through both iconic and little-known images, this book offers a fresh perspective on life and work behind the famous facade of the White House.

Maurice Utrillo
French, 1883–1955
Montmartre, c. 1930
oil on canvas
50.3 x 61.3 cm
Collection of the Winnipeg Art Gallery; Bequest of Elva I. Bulgin
Maurice Utrillo, the son of artist and model Susan Valadon, began to paint when he was in his early twenties, at his mother's urging, in the hope that it would remedy his alcoholism. Continually challenged by depression and mental illness, the highly prolific Utrillo approached his painting as therapy, finding consolation in depicting the street scenes of the rustic artists' quarter of Montmartre. Sometimes using tourist postcards as his inspiration, Utrillo's captivating viewpoints convey the simplicity and charm of suburban life. The WAG picture, which shows a quaint rectilinear alleyway with pedestrians, celebrates the artist's investigation of bold colours and vigorous brushwork, which betray his interest in the Expressionist style.

Bob PetersWritten by Annette Pierce
Bob Peters
Bob graduated from Truman High School, Independence (MO) having lettered three years each in track and football. He earned all-conference and honorable mention all-area honors in football.
He enrolled at Baker in the fall of 1966 and proceeded to letter all four years in track while throwing the shot put, discus and high jumping. He also lettered one year in football, but track and field was his true love. He was a member of the Kappa Sigma fraternity, served as the sophomore class president and majored in Art. He won several dual track/field meets in the shot put and finished 2nd in the NAIA regional meet his senior year in that event. But, in his own words, he always felt his college results were lackluster.
It was not until 1997, when he was convinced by a former fraternity brother from Baker to enter the Sunflower Games and won medals in both the shot put and discus that he began to truly develop in the sport.

Jerry Jones
Jerry graduated valedictorian at Vermillion (Kan.) Rural High School, where he earned four letters in football, basketball and baseball and two letters in track.
He enrolled at Baker in the fall of 1956 but his four years as a student-athlete at Baker were interrupted by service in the United States Marine Corps (1958-1962). While in the service, he participated in numerous competitive sports, including rifle team, volleyball, football and basketball. Several of the teams on which he was a member earned championships on the base, in the state of Hawaii and in USMC intra-service competition.
Upon discharge from the Marines he returned to Baker and continued participating in a wide range of sports. He earned varsity letters in football, basketball and golf and also participated in track. While participating in these several sports in high school, the Marines and at Baker, he was constantly observing the coaching styles of the many fine coaches for whom he had a chance to play. This in great part, helped determine his ultimate career and life's work.
From Baker he moved into the field of high school teaching and coaching. Through his career he coached a myriad of athletic teams, including basketball, wrestling, track and golf. Several of his teams earned tournament, conference, state and regional championships.
His next move was into the collegiate coaching ranks with 17 total years as head basketball coach at Kansas Wesleyan University and an additional five years as head basketball coach at Indiana University South Bend. At Indiana South Bend he earned 100 victories, the most in school history. His final tally of victories at Kansas Wesleyan was 224, also a school record. His teams at KWU won conference championships in 1986 and 2000. He was honored with conference Coach of the Year awards those two years along with being named the national NSCAA Coach of the Year in 2000, as well as the Heart of America Sports Camps-NAIA College Basketball Coach of the Year.
He has received numerous other awards and honors for his professional achievements and for his outstanding community service. Included in these awards was a leadership acknowledgement for his work with Athletes Against Drugs in 2007. That same year his name was added to the Baker University School of Education Wall of Honor for his outstanding achievements in education and teaching.
He is married to Kathleen Barrett-Jones and together they have a daughter, Jessica.

Jim Dick
Jim graduated from Oakley (Kan.) High School, where he earned letters in football, basketball and track. He qualified for the state track-meet his senior year and was a member of two team conference championships.
He followed his father and sister in the tradition of attending Baker. After winning three events in intramural competition as a freshman, he was convinced by Coach Jim Irick (HOF-1982) to participate at the varsity level his final three years. He lettered all three of those years as a high jumper and long jumper. In the long jump, he finished second at the conference meet one year and was conference champion the other two years. In the process, he broke a 34-year-old school record with a leap of 22' 11 ½". Over the course of the next two years he went on to break his own record three more times. His best jump at 23' 5 1/2" remains the fourth longest in Baker school history. That jump was the 11th best in the nation among NAIA schools in 1963. He finished fourth and sixth in the high jump two years at the conference meet. On campus, he was a member of Sigma Phi Epsilon fraternity and was a member and president of the "B" club.
After graduation he joined the U.S. Army Reserve and later spent two years as a district scout executive in Douglas and Wyandotte counties in Kansas. In 1967, he joined Baker's admissions staff, where he began a lifelong career in education. He went on to hold director of admissions positions with two colleges in Colorado and Tennessee that eventually led him to co-found and become CEO of Career Communications Inc. of Overland Park, Kan. Career Communications has provided career and technical educational opportunities to millions of students and parents in all 50 states since the company's founding in 1990.
Also following graduation he continued to compete as an amateur athlete. In 1974 and 1975 he went undefeated in his age group in the long jump, high jump and triple jump while competing for the Denver Track Club. In 1976 he finished sixth in the state of Colorado in the decathlon at a seniors meet held at the University of Colorado.
Jim has remained active at Baker through the years and was a member and president of the Alumni Association Board of Directors and served as a member of the Presidential Search Committee in 1986. He has served on numerous other volunteer boards and has received several awards for his service and professional accomplishments. He has twin daughters, Kim and Kelly.

Morning Star Click 1/2" x 5" Antique Click Strand Bamboo
Click here for detailed information.
Morning Star Bamboo Flooring is one of the best bamboo floors on the market today. It is produced from old growth bamboo reeds that are at least 4 years old, thereby increasing hardness. Morning Star Bamboo Flooring creates a naturally beautiful and ecologically friendly product that evokes a feeling of luxury.
Quick Highlights:
To make strand bamboo, shredded bamboo fibers are compressed under extreme heat and pressure. This manufacturing process yields flooring that is even harder and more dense than traditional bamboo floors. Available in a variety of colors to complement and décor, all Morning Star strand bamboo products are finished with premium coating and backed by a 30 year warranty.
And, since bamboo is a naturally sustainable grass that re-grows spontaneously after harvest, you can feel good about making an environmentally friendly flooring decision.
It's simple...

Loved the Click method. Used 1200 s.f for Living room, kitchen & dining etc. Looks beautiful down. Watch for defects before you install and really allow for the expansion. It Buckled in one place right in the middle of the floor ! Allow plenty recommended time to acclimate to house. Use the best pad available to avoid anything coming up through floor like staples. It is easy to take up if you goof anywhere as long as you don't glue it.

Cycle Chic Around the Globe
In 2007, Mikael Colville-Andersen took a photo of a girl riding her bicycle through Copenhagen. Since called "the photo that launched a million bicycles," it blossomed into a blog called Cycle Chic, which in turned spawned Cycle Chic blogs in dozens of cities worldwide.
What's the message of Cycle Chic? "Cycling's easy. Cycling's gorgeous. Cycling's a great way to get around your city," says Colville-Andersen. It's the idea that biking is more than a form of exercise for the Spandex-clad—that it can be an integral part of the lives (and style) of urbanites everywhere.
Colville-Andersen maintains that Cycle Chic "is not just pretty pictures—it's advocacy." In South Carolina, Kristin Walker (who maintains Charleston Cycle Chic) argues that encouraging her neighbors to bike to dinner is a way to improve her city: "The more people who get on bikes, the more bike-friendly our city can become."
Video from Streetfilms
- Resilient Ideas: Bike As You Are: Whether it's in lycra or heels, the emerging movement of "come as you are" cycling proves that anyone can bike–anytime, anywhere.
- How to Make Biking Mainstream: Lessons from the Dutch. We, too, can transform biking from a recreational pastime to an integral part of our transportation system.

Thomas Keller's newest restaurant, scheduled to open in July, is going to feature home cooking. At least for now. Keller expects to revamp the whole thing next spring. In March, when the chef-owner of America's most-lauded restaurant bought another space a few blocks away from his original, no one could quite figure out what he was going to do with it.

For years, Cloudy Bay Sauvignon Blanc was the gold standard for New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc. It's still good, but, for the past couple of vintages, a different wine has jumped out at me from my blind tastings as the most dramatic, most complete and harmonious of them all.
