A gambler in Australia won $196,000 by correctly predicting that Stanislas Wawrinka and Li Na would win the singles titles at the Australian Open.
The person laid a $435 bet on the pair to become the men's and women's champions at the first Grand Slam tennis tournament of the year, Nicholas Tzaferis, a spokesman for Australia's biggest bookmaker TAB Corp., said in an e-mail today.
At the time the bet was made at one of TAB's 2,900 stores in Australia, the odds on each player both winning the event were 451-1. TAB couldn't identify the punter because it was a cash bet.
The eighth-seeded Wawrinka beat world No. 1 and top seed Rafael Nadal in four sets to claim his first Grand Slam title. Wawrinka, 28, is the second Swiss man to win a major tennis tournament after Roger Federer, who has a record 17 wins in Grand Slam singles competitions.
China's Li won the women's title on her third visit to the final, defeating Slovakia's Dominika Cibulkova in straight sets. Li, 31, is the oldest woman to win the championship since the professional era of tennis began in 1968. The fourth-seeded Li's only other Grand Slam title came at the 2011 French Open. She lost in the championship match in Melbourne to Kim Clijsters of Belgium in 2011 and to Victoria Azarenka of Belarus last year.

My question wasn't about morality but if the image would be legal. That i personally don't like the objectification of women (of any age) doesn't make it less legal.

Well, my knowledge in chemistry is limited, but a chromatograph doesn't tell you about the ingredients but the molecules in the liquid.
You might like Fleur de Sel by Miller Harris. But maybe you find it too harsh or dry. Many women like it, though, and i see no reason why you shouldn't like it on a woman. Good luck!
IBAN/swift is wire transfer. In the EU it should cost as much to transfer the money as it does in your own country – not £25. Could be that the UK doesn't take part in those EU regulations.
It is a very good vetiver, very puristic. But there are many other vetivers out there which aren't as expensive. While i think it's a great perfume it's the one i'd less likely buy from the line.

Life is adventure!
I find the strong angelica note in FL rather unique and central for the composition. Since Gucci pH (both: 1976 and 2003) lack this one, i don't see much of a similarity.
Those would be horrible fragrances for everyone, not only for an 18 year old.
Maybe his grandpa wears MI. ;)

I had to stop wearing SMW at work, because my boss was always hitting on me, when she smelled it. But i guess that's ok, when you're 19 and attending university.

You're shopping in the wrong places.
I don't get where his style comes into play. He's almost exclusively wearing Gucci.
Tom Ford Private Blends ... Tobacco Vanille would be right for the cold seasons, but you might like other scents from the line better. They are usually around 70£ on Ebay in GB.
I think i'm going to call it that from now on. :D (sorry for OT)
I second Eau des Baux – great scent and great value fpr money.
Because they were hyped?

Good Friday Interfaith Way of the Cross for Victims of Abortion
April 18, 2014 @ 10:00 AM - 11:00 AM| No cost!
Please join the Pro-Life Community for The Interfaith Way of the Cross for Victims of Abortion, on Good Friday, April 18th at 10:00 am at the Planned Parenthood Abortion Facility, 3100 Professional Drive in Ann Arbor. Leading us in prayer will be Deacon Larry Randolph from Christ the King Catholic Church in Ann Arbor and Pastor Tom Humphreys from the Merritt Road Church of the Nazarene in Ypsilanti. Through His Holy Passion, Our Lord united Himself with all the victims of suffering in this life. None suffer more innocently than children in the womb whose lives are taken by abortion. None suffer more deeply than their mothers, who carry such a burden of guilt and shame. On Good Friday we remember all the victims of abortion—the children lost, the mothers wounded, the communities blighted—in a solemn, ecumenical prayer service. More info: call or email Sandie Weathers at 734-434-8447 or [email protected] For updates go to: http://pro-lifeactionnetworkblog.blogspot.com/

Jered Weaver would be fine with the Angels giving more money to Zack Greinke
Sep 27, 2012, 12:48 PM EDT
When Jered Weaver signed a five-year, $85 million extension with the Angels last year most analysis of the deal pegged it as extremely team-friendly and well below market value for an elite No. 1 starter.
Weaver repeatedly said at the time that he didn't really care because $85 million is a ton of money and he wanted to stay with the Angels, so not surprisingly now Weaver is saying that he won't care if the Angels end up giving Zack Greinke a bigger contract than he received.
"Whatever they have to do to make our team better," Weaver told Alden Gonzalez of MLB.com, who just yesterday reported that the Angels are leaning toward declining their 2013 options on Dan Haren and Ervin Santana in order to focus their resources on re-signing Greinke to a massive contract.
Weaver is 29 years old with a 3.23 ERA in 1,312 innings since debuting in 2006. During that same time the 28-year-old Greinke has a 3.42 ERA in 1,157 innings, including a 3.40 ERA in 12 starts since being traded to the Angels.

Not to be "that guy" but his name is Jered. Damn, I'm "that guy."
- theaxmancometh - Sep 27, 2012 at 3:11 PM
I still chuckle that Weaver got "only" $85m. Yea that sure is chump change.
- legacybroken - Sep 27, 2012 at 4:04 PM
Weaver got a similar deal to the ones given to Verlander and King Felix, so it wasn't for peanuts. Its just not Cain, Hamels or Cliff Lee money. Though Verlander and Felix were much younger and will likely get a second big contracts.
- hardballtalkusername - Sep 28, 2012 at 2:38 AM
Verlander also had two more years of arbitration whereas Weaver had one left.

Shane Doan will meet with NHL over his elbow to Jamie Benn
Mar 21, 2012, 8:20 AM EDT
It didn't take long for the NHL to step in on Shane Doan.
After Doan's dirty elbow to the head of Stars forward Jamie Benn during Dallas' shootout win, the league will be meeting with Doan over the play.
Sportsnet's Nick Kypreos reports Doan will meet with the league at 5 p.m. to discuss the play that saw him put Benn down on the ice with a needless shot to the head. Benn was not injured on the play and Doan received only a minor penalty for elbowing.
If you're curious whether or not Doan is a first-time offender or not, he isn't. Doan was just fined last week for boarding Calgary's Mark Giordano and he was also the first player suspended after the implementation of Rule 48 last season when he hit Anaheim's Dan Sexton.
Dallas coach Glen Gulutzan said after last night's game that he feels Doan should be sat down for the hit as he told ESPNDallas,com.
"I think it is a suspendable offense. He targeted the head with his elbow. The league will look at it for sure and decide. But it's deliberate."
It sure looks deliberate from this vantage point. Here's video of the hit if you haven't seen it. If this one doesn't warrant action from Brendan Shanahan, who knows what will from here out.This video is no longer available. Click here to watch more NBC Sports videos!

Benn seemed to be marked last night. Investigate the whole team for organized goonery. I'm not a Stars fan (or Phx) is there some history there? Why would they be so hell bent on maiming him last night?
Other than that, it was an entertaining game to watch.
- yotesfan3 - Mar 21, 2012 at 9:49 AM
Doan is not a dirty player like this biased article says! Contact was made but Benn could have got an oscar for that performance. We will see what the league says
- howardforvezina - Mar 21, 2012 at 10:16 AM
Oh right, Doan is dirty player remember him hitting Franzen in the back in the playoffs. His face was messed up(nose) and was bleading quite bad. You know what no penalty. I know countless other cases, yotesfan.That is why when most guys drafted early to mid 90s are gone the league will be better.
- dougyfresh9981 - Mar 21, 2012 at 10:29 AM
First of all, Franzen was already losing an edge when he got hit, that's why it turned out bad. It wasn't even close to a suspendable hit by Doan. Just another Wings fan who complains about something when it doesn't go 'Hockeytowns' way
- pound30 - Mar 21, 2012 at 10:36 AM
I don't know how you can say that Benn was acting on that. It was pretty clear that Doan's elbow made good contact with his head. You need to watch the replay I think. Doan apparently is a dirty player considering he is a multiple repeat offender.
- cup0pizza - Mar 21, 2012 at 10:53 AM
Stay classy, yotesfan…accusing Benn of acting. Doan sucks, so I guess thuggery is all he can rely on at this point. Didn't stop the Strs from winning, did it? The Coyotes have always been a loser organization.
- jkaflagg - Mar 21, 2012 at 4:56 PM
I usually try very hard to rationalize the so- called illegal hits – the game is so fast, the players are bigger and at times it 's difficult to avoid a potentially illegal hit and still do your job on the ice…..
In this case, however, there is absolutely no rationalization – Doan targeted the head with high elbow. Should Doan not receive a significant suspension, the NHL might as well forget about any semblance of discipline and allow every team to bring in goons to target and run skilled players out of the league.
As well, hopefully the league discuss with the officials how a textbook " deliberate attempt to injure" somehow became a two minute minor that allowed Doan to stay in the game and contribute to the tying goals that gave Phoenix an important point in the standings…….any request for leniency for Doan should take into account that allowing him to remain in the game was leniency enough.
- kotteintheslot - Mar 21, 2012 at 8:42 PM
No reason for that elbow. at least 5 games.

Centre Jason Allison remains without a new home with NHL training camps set to open next week. "Teams have shown some interest but we're just not there yet," agent Matthew Oates said Wednesday from Chicago. "It's a bit of a waiting game. "We've talked to teams in both (conferences)," the agent said. "A lot of it has to do with Jason and what he likes and where he wants to be. "We're looking for good fits. This will be a one-year deal and Jason wants it that way so he can go out and prove himself, but there's a few teams who are interested."a little more mentioning other UFAs and nothing new on Leetch...

NHL Needs Big Market Comeback
by Paul on 09/06/06 at 06:51 PM ET
Comments (0)
from Eric Duhatschek of the Globe and Mail,
The NHL came back moderately well in 2005-06, thanks to some pro-active rule changes and a new partnership between players and owners, but to come all the way back, it surely needs to see its major-market franchises resurrected. The Blackhawks have been such a laughing-stock (out of the playoffs in seven of the past eight seasons) that NBC, the national rights holder, won't go near their games. The Kings have been less dreadful, but they too failed to build on the cachet that Gretzky's presence created, becoming a niche sport in the Los Angeles market, to the extent that the L.A. Times, one of America's most influential newspapers, won't bother covering them on the road this seasonmore

Bruins Comfortable With Goaltending
by Paul on 09/06/06 at 06:40 PM ET
Comments (0)
Dave Lewis and Peter Chiarelli held a tele-conference today.
Q. Obviously upgraded up front with Savard and on defense with Chara. How do you feel about your goaltending? Some might wonder whether there's enough experience there with both Toivonen and Thomas? DAVE LEWIS: I feel really good about them. I think they complement each other. I was talking with Bob Essensa, the goaltender coach. He's high on both of them. They're very compatible. They work well together. They work hard. I think they're excited about having the team that's now going to be in front of them. The younger of the two is only going to get better. Timmy Thomas, he works hard day in and day out to prove he's a National Hockey League goaltender. PETER CHIARELLI: I feel the same way. Hannu has always been projected as a bona fide goaltender. He doesn't have the experience we would all feel a little more comfortable with. Nothing's changed in the projections. Tim is a battler who has faced a lot of adversity. He's come into his own. He can go back and pick three or four teams with goaltenders of limited experience that have done very well. I feel comfortable with that.

Goaltender Ilya Bryzgalov, who assumed the role of Anaheim's No.1 goaltender for the NHL playoffs last spring, has re-signed with the Ducks for US$2.36 million over two years. The 26-year-old Russian will earn $1 million this season and $1,362,500 in 2007-08, a raise over the $465,000 he made last season.

Ticket Alert

Thought I would take a brief visit to StubHub and search for tickets for January 2nd. The game against the Ducks is also the Yzerman retirement ceremony. Individual tickets range from $875 to almost $1700 per ticket. These tickets might become the hottest tickets in years for any Detroit sporting event. I also see the Fox Theater is "dark" that day. Wonder if the Wings will use it as an overflow for fans wanting to watch. If not, I may have just given them an idea.

from Stan Fischler of MSG Network,
• Is time running out on a Brian Leetch return for his 19th NHL season? At least one league exec thinks so. "If Brian isn't signed by now," The Man says, "it's not likely he will be signed. It depends on how badly he wants to play and whether Leetch will sign for $500,000." • The Flames have a tough decision ahead; rebuild the 22-year-old Saddledome or start fresh with a brand new building. Club boss Ken King says that both options are being studied. Which reminds us, does anyone remember the Stampede Corral? And wasn't that a dandy rink!more

"The place is fully furnished and it's a beautiful area," Bulis said Tuesday after skating with some of his new mates at Burnaby 8-Rinks. "Since I only signed a one-year deal with Vancouver, there is no reason to buy now. All I had to bring was my own clothes and stuff.

Devils Get Cap Relief With Matvichuk Injury

from the NY Post,
Devils defenseman Richard Matvichuk admitted yesterday he won't be ready for next month's NHL season opener, and he may not be in the lineup before December. "You have to be logical and start with skating before [considering] playing hockey," Matvichuk said yesterday at Codey Arena, where some teammates have begun unofficial workouts. Matvichuk is not yet close to taking the ice. The Devils can be expected to place Matvichuk and his $1.3 million salary on the long-term-injury list, meaning the team can replace the portion of his salary represented by his absence against the salary cap.more (reg. req.)

Players are due to report for physicals Sept. 14 and will be on the ice for their first official practice the next morning. "I'm confident something will get done," Gionta said.

"He's a world-class player. He played on a team as good as ours last year in February," said Sutter, referring to Taratukhin's inclusion on Russia's Olympic team. Sutter said the delay in announcing the signing was in the hopes the NHL would come to a new transfer agreement with the Russian hockey federation. "We waited hoping there would be an agreement but there wasn't and they kept stretching the deadline hoping to reach one between Russia and the NHL, so we made a decision to sign our player," Sutter said. Even if it may mean a legal fight down the road? "I don't really know. It doesn't really concern me," he replied.more

Gallery: Futuristic Oceanic Pavilion Unveiled for 2012 Yeosu Expo
Emergent Architecture and Kokkugia have designed an incredible Oceanic Pavilion for the Yeosu 2012 Expo in Korea, which will provide another showcase of amazing architecture once the Shanghai Expo has wound to a close. Intended as a centerpiece for the expo, the Oceanic Pavilion is a "celebration of the ocean as a living organism and the co-existence of human culture and ocean ecosystem." Designed with the help of computer scripts, the amphibious pavilion is made from a series of ETFE membranes and armature that take on a life of their own through their organic layout.

benuerun i'm glad you said that because I was thinking the same thing. ther design is very cool and futuristic but I just can't get past the initial emotional response.
Having a giant beached whale covered in oil is maybe not the best way to "celebrate the ocean as a living organism". simple enough problem to overcome. rearange the plan and change the shape of the building so you no longer have that visual connection.

Ugh! It's not just you! It also looks half dissected or something

Is it just me, or does that big picture look like a beached whale covered in crude oil, as if it were swimmin' around in the Gulf and laid out on Louisiana's coastline to dry out?

Losers of four games in a row, our 5-6 T-Wolves visit the 7-6 Warriors tonight. Despite the heroic early return of Kevin Love to the basketball court, it hasn't yet paid dividends in the win column. Hopefully that ends tonight, but Steph Curry and Klay Thompson are probably going to eviscerate our terrible defensive backcourt. Ridnour and Barea are truly dreadful on the defensive end, and anyone that can dribble a basketball stands a good chance at getting whatever they want on that end of the court. And unfortunately for us, almost everyone in the NBA can dribble a basketball pretty well (except you, Lessly Johnson.) It might be a close game, and the Warriors are only favored by 3 points, but I don't think we pull this one out tonight. Maybe something like a 104-101 defeat. But come chat with us in this game thread during the game, or at least drop by the TWB Forums, it's always a good time!

The High, Heavenly Voice Of David Daniels
"You very quickly forget whether it's a male voice or a female voice. ... Because he's such a terrific musician, and so expressive, the fact that it's a man singing in a woman's range becomes irrelevant, and what we hear is the music."
That's how Morning Edition music commentator Miles Hoffman describes the voice of David Daniels, one of the world's most celebrated countertenors. Most simply defined as a "male alto," a countertenor is a male vocalist who sings in a range that is — at least in modern times — ordinarily associated with women.
This weekend, Daniels will put that impressive voice to work in an opera written especially for him: Theodore Morrison's Oscar, based on the writer and wit Oscar Wilde, premieres Saturday at the Santa Fe Opera, with Daniels in the title role. Click the audio link for more on the history of countertenors, and read on for three examples of Daniels' voice in action — including a sneak preview of Oscar, recorded during this week's dress rehearsals.
The Voice Of David Daniels
Handel: 'Va Tacito' (From 'Julius Caesar')
- Artist: David Daniels
- From: Handel: Operatic Arias
This Handel recital, recorded in 1998, was a breakthrough album for David Daniels. It shows off the complete voice. From Handel's slowly unfolding laments, suffused with agony and eloquence, to hard-driving, highflying arias of outrage, splashed with a fireworks display of notes, Daniels is robust, rounded and confident throughout the registers.
Schubert: 'Nacht Und Träume'
- Artist: David Daniels
- From: Serenade
Here, David Daniels busts another countertenor myth. For so long, countertenors feasted principally on early music, with baroque arias and Elizabethan songs as staples. But Daniels approaches his concerts and recordings as would any other singer, making smart choices in repertoire that ranges from German lieder (like this gorgeous performance of Schubert) to 20th century songs.
Morrison: 'My Sweet Rose' (From 'Oscar')
- Artist: David Daniels
- From: Oscar
Thanks to Philip Glass' Akhnaten, in 1983, the idea that an opera could star a countertenor no longer sounds crazy. The highly anticipated Oscar, by composer Theodore Morrison, receives its world premiere July 27 at the Santa Fe Opera. Daniels played a huge role in getting Oscar to the stage: He backed the project from its birth, even funded a demo recording, and shopped for the right company to premiere it. Judging from this dress rehearsal excerpt, Daniels will have some gorgeous music to sing.

WiseGuide 1: Money saving tips for International students in the UK
Being an international student in United Kingdom can be an expensive proposition. One of the reasons students interested in higher studies head for the UK for instance, is that the course length is shorter than most US programs. However, there are a number of associated expenses which can burn a hole in your pocket much quicker than you imagined.
As former students ourselves, we at TransferWise thought that it would be a good idea to publish a list of resources and tips that international students in the UK could best make use of.
- 1. Deals and Promotions: Studentbeans is an excellent resource for deals and bargain hunting. Targeted purely at UK based students, the site aggregates a number of deals that are active in your city (or online).
- 2. Weekday socialising: God bless 'Quid nights'. Usually there would be at least one or more pubs around school where, between Monday and Wednesday, you would get a pint for a quid. If you could work out which watering hole has quid night on after that very long accounting lecture, you'll be the darling of the class as the one about town!
- 3. TV for free: Most content companies are focussing on multiscreen access to content. The good news is that if your flatmate's parents have a Sky subscription – do use the Sky Go service on his laptop and hook it up with a TV (HDMI cable will come handy) for all those premier league games that you can now watch at home!
- 4. University accommodation is not always cheaper: Sharing an apartment and splitting the costs between flatmates can work out to be a whole lot cheaper than paying for university accommodation which will get you a tiny dorm room for the same price. With a little discipline and a healthy bike ride (dump the gym membership!), you'd end up not only fitter but also have that additional bit of money to spend on a rainy day.
And remember, while making transfers in foreign currencies (like paying for your rent from a European bank account), TransferWise will give you the best deal and save you the typical 5% that banks charge with your every transfer.
Be on the lookout for our next WiseGuide when we shall have a look at a few more nifty forums and methods to save monies on everyday student life!

NEW HAVEN — Nearly two years after storm Sandy sacked the Connecticut coast — a shoreline still disheveled from a pounding by Tropical Storm Irene a year earlier — federal funds for recovery are still being parceled out.
The application deadline for a second allotment of Community Development Block Grant funds through the federal Department of Housing and Urban Development is two weeks way. It was only July 1 that the last recipients for the first round were announced.
More than two-thirds of the nearly $32 million in the July award went to three housing projects in Norwalk, Stamford and Bridgeport. The rest was split among shoreline infrastructure, planning and facilities proposals. (The full first round was nearly $72 million.)
But at least a couple of the awards raise some questions about how the money is being spent and whether it ever will be used.
The Morris Cove Seawall
For example, a longstanding and controversial request to build a seawall along Morris Cove in New Haven, approved as infrastructure funding, could be years away from implementation. The project faces serious hurdles that could make meeting grant-imposed deadlines a race with the clock.
Morris Cove is one of the most high-profile projects in the group. Officially known as the East Shore Erosion Control Project because of its location along the east shore of New Haven Harbor, it will receive nearly $2 million — half awarded in the July announcement and the other half already OK'ed from the next funding block of $66 million. Some $30 million of the second-round of funding will go toward infrastructure, while the first round only allotted $4 million out of requests for funding totaling $18 million.
The Morris Cove funding comes more than a decade after residents began asking for a seawall — long before Irene or Sandy hit.
Among them is David Kronberg, a 46-year resident whose home still sports the remnants of a destroyed deck and other damage — all largely the way Sandy left it two years ago.
A low jersey barrier installed temporarily by the Department of Energy and Environmental Protection about a year and a half ago already shows signs of damage. Waves that reach it during high tides have piled sand behind the barrier to within inches of the top.
"If we get a northwest wind it'll come over," Kronberg said of the water. He was speaking on a still, sunny morning that gave no indication of being smack in the middle of hurricane season.
About a dozen homes north of Kronberg's have built illegal walls and bulkheads to connect to a legal wall built along Nathan Hale Park in the early 1980s. Those homes have no beach left. Even at low tide, the water now laps at their walls, unlike years ago when Kronberg said he used to be able to walk all the way up to the park.
"Pretty much at low tide you could," he said.
Coastal geologists generally do not favor seawalls, citing them for such beach loss when waves have nowhere to deposit sand that they naturally move. The geologists also blame seawalls for increased erosion due to amplification of wave energy by the hardened structure. Concerns like these stalled out the most serious proposal for a seawall along Morris Cove, offered in 2000. The idea was finally abandoned in 2006 when the then-Department of Environmental Protection would not approve it.
The new proposal is for a 500-foot long, 10-foot high steel sheet seawall to be built behind 10 homes on Townsend Avenue, where these Morris Cove homes officially are. The wall would run from Kronberg's house north with most of the wall replacing the illegal ones.
But several homes south of Kronberg's would remain unprotected and there's no telling what that will mean as federal and state agencies begin their review and potential revision of the proposal – a process that could take years against a completion deadline of March 19, 2019.
"There's too many questions between here and there," said Joe Krupa, the municipal civil engineer in New Haven overseeing the project. He said he couldn't begin to estimate the timing, even though the application required estimates. "There are a lot of open-ended questions with this project yet."
A big one is whether a wall in one location would cause problems elsewhere, such as damaging other homes and portions of beach or by increasing erosion that creates drainage problems elsewhere.
There are concerns about what would happen to water during storm surges with a wall in the way. Generally that water heads for dunes between homes and can potentially flood onto Townsend Avenue, which along with a large area that stretches all the way to Tweed Airport, is low-lying. This is a key reason the city has viewed the seawall as a necessary community project even though it would be on private property. Block grants require that projects have a public benefit.
And then there's the engineering: how to anchor the seawall into sand; what engineers will find once they start digging; and literally how to coordinate it.

The Lost Symbol (2009)
by Dan Brown
No current Talk conversations about this book.
When the book started, I can't say that I was all that impressed. In fact, I was bored for almost 50 pages. But Dan Brown did what he's done in the two previous Robert Langdon books and built up to an incredible story. There was mystery, murder, violence, science, religion, and legend. It doesn't matter whether or not what the book presents is true... it's a great story.
In my opinion Dan Brown's best book. Some may complain of over-description and bad grammar but one thing Dan Brown never fails to do is take you on a roller coaster of a ride and immerse you in Langdon's predicament. A great story teller!
This was my favorite Dan Brown so far, and that is saying a lot because I LOVED Da Vinci Code. You know, I was really surprised a lot of people actually rated this pretty low on Amazon. Yes, it is a bit of a repeat, and yes, it is formulaic. And yes, his characters sometimes come up lacking. But these are all very minimal things to me when it comes to Dan Brown, because I think he is a genious and can get away with it all. I love him! Now, MY main complaint is that the theology goes places I don't quite agree with all the time. But having said that,I absolutely loved what the "Lost Symbol" ended up being. I love symbolism and mythology and "Ancient Knowledge". I love to think there are conspiracy theories and to feel like I am in on the secret. So much fun. I love the idea of "Universal Consciousness" and I love the idea that some of the best secrets are really not secrets at all, but are "hidden" in plain view (like the gospel for example, or any truth, as far as I'm concerned). I love the idea of apotheosis (man becoming God), though I don't believe man can make it on his own, like this book seems to suggest. All in all, I thoroughly enjoyed it and forgive Dan Brown all his inconsequential mistakes. Oh, and it had a great twist. Hard as I tried, I did not see that one coming!
?? have I read this really
This book was tedious to read, with a definite pattern to its discoveries, setbacks, and so on. I was disappointed in the ending. After peeling back layer after layer of mysteries like an onion to discover... nothing in particular? Ugh.
In the end, as with "The Da Vinci Code," there's no payoff. Brown should stop worrying about unfinished pyramids and worry about unfinished novels. At least Spielberg and Lucas gave us an Ark and swirling, dissolving humans. We don't get any ancient wisdom that "will profoundly change the world as you know it" — just a lot of New Agey piffle about how we are the gods we've been waiting for. (And a father-son struggle for global domination, as though we didn't get enough of that with the Bushes.)
There are moments of excitement in this skilfully edited, deeply implausible thriller. At times the suspense is prolonged rather than sustained, but the 500 pages turn steadily and the overall effect is entertaining and certainly family-friendly. The Lost Symbol is violent but remarkably chaste and devoid of profanity.
If you hate Dan Brown, you're going to hate this book.
It seems Brown has decided to irk his critics by repeating every flaw he's been accused of. ...
No, it's not Foucault's Pendulum. It doesn't even come close. However, if you liked Dan Brown's previous books you're likely to enjoy this one. There is some interesting trivia about the history of Washington, DC which is in fact true, which is an added bonus.
It's true, his style is as baldly prosaic as legend, but there remains a heft to his potboilers that is hard to imitate. He is better at conveying claustrophobia and breathlessness than, say, the explosion of a top-secret lab ("fragments of titanium mesh . . . droplets of melted silicon" etc) but the latter will make a juicier scene come the inevitable Tom Hanks movie, and the author knows this.
As a thriller, "The Lost Symbol" is exciting, although readers of "The Da Vinci Code" will notice that some of the same stock characters and creaky plot devices pop up... As District of Columbia resident, I must say that Mr. Brown does a first-rate job of delivering a Cook's tour with duly sinister overtones of Washington's famous sites... It's when Mr. Brown interrupts his storytelling to deliver one of his many lectures on Christian intolerance—with pointed digs at the American religious right—that "The Lost Symbol" becomes a didactic bore.

Wikipedia in English (1)
Amazon.com Amazon.com Review (ISBN 0385504225, Hardcover)Let's start with the question every Dan Brown fan wants answered: Is The Lost Symbol as good as The Da Vinci Code? Simply put, yes. Brown has mastered the art of blending nail-biting suspense with random arcana (from pop science to religion), and The Lost Symbol is an enthralling mix. And what a dazzling accomplishment that is, considering that rabid fans and skeptics alike are scrutinizing every word.
The Lost Symbol begins with an ancient ritual, a shadowy enclave, and of course, a secret. Readers know they are in Dan Brown territory when, by the end of the first chapter, a secret within a secret is revealed. To tell too much would ruin the fun of reading this delicious thriller, so you will find no spoilers here. Suffice it to say that as with many series featuring a recurring character, there is a bit of a formula at work (one that fans will love). Again, brilliant Harvard professor Robert Langdon finds himself in a predicament that requires his vast knowledge of symbology and superior problem-solving skills to save the day. The setting, unlike other Robert Langdon novels, is stateside, and in Brown's hands Washington D.C. is as fascinating as Paris or Vatican City (note to the D.C. tourism board: get your "Lost Symbol" tour in order). And, as with other Dan Brown books, the pace is relentless, the revelations many, and there is an endless parade of intriguing factoids that will make you feel like you are spending the afternoon with Robert Langdon and the guys from Mythbusters.
Nothing is as it seems in a Robert Langdon novel, and The Lost Symbol itself is no exception--a page-turner to be sure, but Brown also challenges his fans to open their minds to new information. Skeptical? Imagine how many other thrillers would spawn millions of Google searches for noetic science, superstring theory, and Apotheosis of Washington. The Lost Symbol is brain candy of the best sort--just make sure to set aside time to enjoy your meal. --Daphne Durham

The Perfect Transparent Bait FishSee thru: Flies are becoming more and more realistic - even the saltwater flies. Gammarus with transparent backs and scud patterns, shrimps tied with clear legs, looped tails and pulsating mouth parts and antennas. Now it is time for the bait fish.

Zonker: For many saltwater anglers the term "worm hatch" has a magical ring to it. When the polychaete worms swim freely to spawn, the fish usually go berserk, be it trout, stripers, tarpon or a number of other species. As one writer puts it: It's like yelling "free lunch" to a high school football team.

Fly Fishing for Striped Bass
Book Review: Wild River Press, the publisher behind this and a other new books, is setting the bar extremely high for the genre of fly fishing information books, where the author doesn't offer a quick overview but rather an in depth master's course. "Fly Fishing for Striped Bass" continues that trend, and in doing so kicks it up a notch. The author simply blew my socks off.
Click here to read the review
Click here to read the review
In an effort to entice larger striped muggers (stripers) during the spring herring run on Cape Cod when big fish venture back into the shallow estuaries to the herring runs, Pete Gray started tying 8-12+ inches herring flies on double tubes.
Experimenting with epoxy might glue you to the tying bench for hours, days, weeks. You can make highly durable, translucent baitfish imitations using synthetics and epoxy. Some years ago Bob Popovic's book "Pop Fleyes" introduced Kasper Mühlbach to the Surf Candy.
US based master fly tyer Bob Veverka has gathered together a whole bunch of very creative fly tyers to create a book that will appeal to all fly tyers, not just those who want to chase salty fish.
David Klausmeyer is the latest author of a book on tying flies for saltwater fly fishing. His book, Tying Contemporary Saltwater Flies, offers excellent fly tying instruction as well as an impressive reference of fly patterns.
No doubt that Ed Mitchell is an authority on coastal fishing. His 2002 book "Fly Rodding the Coast" is a large volume on the art of fishing from the shoreline. It covers close to all aspects of this type of fishing.
My knowledge of the American striper heritage is not very profound, but I trust that the representatives of the literature that Waldman has chosen for his book Stripers, An Angler's Anthology are adequate. Read the full review here.
During my self-introduction to flyrodding the salt, I went elsewhere. When I did, I looked to one place. The Merrimack River was that place. For me, that river has produced more decent fish and more exceptional fishing memories than most places on the east coast.
For the first time ever we pass out a score of 6 in a review. Ken Abrames' book "A Perfect Fish" is pure Global Class! A wonderful journey through fly tying, art, poetry, facts and fishing methods. A book that can inspire all fly fishers - not only those who fish for stripers. Read the review here.
Stripers and a church organ both play and important role in this Northeastern tale told by Bas Verschoor
This small book has made me a striper fan. The subtitle gave me the first hint that this would be interesting: 'Fly Fishing Techniques and Flies for Striped Bass in Estuary, River, Bay and Surf'. Being a salt water FF'er myself, any FF-title, that doesn't include the word 'stream' is interesting. Estuary, River Bay and Surf. I fish almost exclusively in bay and surf, and this kind of fishing seems little known elsewhere.it even says

wonder if the 'oversupply' periods correspond with product becoming obsolete...(interesting to see product change on the chart).
Have to think that …
Google's initial 'business idea' was stolen from a Dow Jones patent filed by Li who founded Badui.

Geralt of Rivia is on his way to Kaer Morhen for winter, but decides to stop in Vizima to earn a couple of extra orens before the first snow falls, closing the main routes and sending the monsters deep into their hideouts. He doesn't realise that a theoretically simple job will force him to decide whether or not there will be Christmas this year. Nor if there will ever be snow again...
Initially we were planning this adventure as Christmas gift to community. Fortunately, team abandoned the idea. We made story longer, added quite extensive custom soundtrack and decorated Vyzima.

PAWTUCKET ŌĆö ThereŌĆÖs a new Bad Kat in town who knows how to stir things up in the kitchen. Bad Kat Kupkakes & Kafe opened last week at 29 Exchange St., in the Elks building downtown.
Proprietress Carol Cove sells her signature line of alcohol-infused cupcakes (along with non-alcohol Kitten Kakes for the kids), plus a selection of breakfast and lunch sandwiches, soups, smoothies, coffees and teas. She is open for breakfast and lunch Tuesday through Saturday, and also takes large-scale cupcake and catering orders for parties and events.
Cove, who lives in Burrillville, has also transformed a storefront into a warm and inviting cafe, with an artistic vibe. There are comfortable couches and chairs, an electric fireplace and wi-fi access so the busy professional or student can take a break while still managing to multitask.
Cove, an art school graduate with a background in ceramics, is inviting artists to hang their work on the gallery walls, and is in the midst of completing a private room in the rear of the cafe that could be used for small business meetings or conferences. ŌĆ£We want it to be a community gathering place, and a place for local artists to showcase their work,ŌĆØ she said.
Cove said that she loves to bake ŌĆö a talent that she inherited from her mother and grandmother. She found cupcakes to be particularly fun, and began experimenting with various recipes ŌĆö many involving alcohol. Encouraged by her friends, she used her home as a ŌĆ£test kitchenŌĆØand found out what worked and what didnŌĆÖt in the way of cake batter and frosting combinations.
ŌĆ£It was a rainy day, and I just baked cupcakes. My friends watched football and ate cupcakes. Some were awful and some were delicious. I found out what people liked and what they didnŌĆÖt and went from there.ŌĆØ
She noted that the Bad Kat Kupcakes involve a variety of spirits, including vodkas, liqueurs, schnapps, beer, wine, and even champagne.
There is alcohol in some of the frosting as well as the cake, and Cove prides herself on coming up with some unique pairings. Among her favorites are ŌĆ£The Italian Kiss,ŌĆØ featuring DiSaronno flavored cake and Triple Sec frosting, the ŌĆ£No Stout About It,ŌĆØ a dark beer-based cake with specialty Bad Kat frosting, and ŌĆ£The Rhode Islander,ŌĆØ a porter-soaked cake covered with chocolate and toffee.
There is also ŌĆ£The Bubbly,ŌĆØ a champagne-infused cake with a sparkling strawberry top, ŌĆ£Lip SmackinŌĆÖ Merlot,ŌĆØ billed as ŌĆ£a marriage of merlot and chocolate with a hint of chili,ŌĆØ and one called ŌĆ£The Big WasyŌĆØ that Cove swears tastes exactly like the southern dessert Bananas Foster.
Unlike some cupcake makers, CoveŌĆÖs Bad Kats are not oversized, nor do they feature a mountain of frosting. ŌĆ£Ours are easy on the frosting. In each bite, you should get a perfect pairing of cupcake and frosting,ŌĆØ she noted. She changes both the cupcake selections and the sandwich menu daily to keep things interesting.
Although originally from Massachusetts, Cove had attended the Wheeler School in Providence and is a former manager at the Ten Prime Steak and Sushi restaurant in downtown Providence. Her family had also owned a commercial real estate company for many years, and handled several of the area's old mills, so she was familiar with Pawtucket and Central Falls.
ŌĆ£I really love Providence, but I wanted to be in more of a community-based area,ŌĆØ she said. ŌĆ£Plus, I love this building. I wanted a place with an eclectic, cozy feel.ŌĆØ
Cove also knows how to bake for large crowds, having produced cupcakes by the thousands for road races, and other charity and corporate events. With 24 hoursŌĆÖ notice, she can fill custom orders for either pickup or delivery.
ŌĆ£We're not a typical bakery. WeŌĆÖre a cafe, offering baked goods,ŌĆØ said Cove. ŌĆ£We want people to feel they can come in, sit and enjoy their food and the surroundings.ŌĆØ
Bad Kat Kupcakes is open Tuesday and Wednesday, from 9:30 a.m. to 3 p.m.; Thursday and Friday from 9:30 a.m. to 4 p.m., and Saturday from 10 a.m. to 2:30 p.m.

My name is Dan, I'm 30, a 2011 college grad, a Marine Corps veteran, highly ambitious, a devout gym rat and extremely personable. I grew up in New Mexico, attended college in Idaho, spent time in Utah, Denver, Arizona and now I call Texas home. I served as an Infantry Rifleman in the Marine Corps and have served in Afghanistan. My faith is very important to me and is a huge part of who I am. I love the outdoors. I go hunting in the Fall, fishing in the Summer, and I will always make time to go up to the mountains. I can spend all day at the lake and all the next day there as well :) I'm pretty gun savvy so I love to take people shooting. Being physically fit is important to me. I workout at least four times a week and run almost every night. I'm an avid sports fan, Basketball and Football are my very favorites. As far as teams go I like the Dallas Cowboys, University of Utah Runnin' Utes, Texas Longhorns, and Texas Rangers. I'm pretty new to the online dating scene, but I'm willing to give it a try. I'm at the age where I would like to meet someone and settle down.I don't have a checklist per se, but I'm looking for someone who I click with and am physically attracted to. I must warn you I am a bit of a political nerd. My views on this page are marked as 'conservative' but that is only because match.com did not have a Libertarian option. I was active in the Ron Paul movement in College and have been an outspoken advocate for free markets, personal liberty, sound money, and military non-intervention overseas. I'm not saying we have to agree on every little thing, but if you're as passionate about big government as I am about limited government, I'm probably not your guy. Finally, I recently came out of a painful divorce, so if I scrutinize your past relationships please don't take it personal, I'm only protecting myself. ANY history of cheating is an automatic deal breaker. You can expect 100% fidelity and commitment from me, and I will ask nothing less from you.

StatSurfer is a WordPress plugin, which allows you to surf easily and quickly in the statistics of your website.
I usually download this plugin for every WP site I create - whether for myself or a client. I love the info it provides - it's perfect when I'm too lazy to log into Google Analytics. It gives me a quick overview in my WP admin. I didn't give it 5 stars because sometimes I get weird errors on different sites. Sometimes the error disappears, but when it happens on more than one site, it's kinda weird. Not really sure how to fix it. Other than that, the plugin is one of the best statistics plugin out there!

Originally written on Pistons Locker | Last updated 12/10/11
The Pistons have signed 31-year old SG/SF Damien Wilkins to a 1-year deal. Wilkins played in 52 games (0 starts) for the Hawks last year and he averaged 13.0 minutes, 3.5 points, 1.7 rebounds and 0.8 assists per game. He has now played in 442 games (126 starts) so far in his NBA career and he is averaging 20.0 minutes, 6.8 points, 2.6 rebounds and 1.5 assists per game. This was a decent signing for the Pistons as Wilkins will help them out off the bench in 2011-12.

You gotta love my Grandma Cookie — she's always looking out for my figure!

Writes Bailey in Oklahoma: "My nine-year-old brother hung the original note on his door when I came home from college for Christmas. After I laughed it off, he left a special note just for me. When I walked in anyway, he yelled, "Didn't you see the sign?!?' I can't believe I'm being patronized by a third-grader."
(Don't worry, Bailey, you're not the only one.)

After six months of backpacking through Australia, my former roommate Robin stopped by her mom's house on Long Island to unload her giant pack of souvenirs, leftover trail mix, and unwashed underwear. Her crucial mistake — besides the basic one: returning back home to mom as an adult — leaving an unopened can of planter's peanuts on the floor of her room…within sight of her mom, who is, um, deathly allergic to peanuts.
The note she left was simple enough, but for Robin, the subtext was clear: "What, you've been back one day, and already you're trying to kill me?"
"Honestly, I'm pretty surprised she didn't add in '…OR I WILL DIE!!!' at the end," says Robin. "But the dirty looks I got from my stepdad the rest of the day basically said as much." After getting a very thorough talking-to the next day about the finer points of washing cast-iron cookware, she decided it was definitely time to get her own place.

Like this phrase, there are a few irritating little pieces of clip art that keep popping up in submissions over and over again. Hovering somewhere near the top of most-wanted list is this pouty little white-gloved dandy.
From the factories of Pittsburgh…
…to the cube-farms of Virginia, this perspiring misanthrope has been spreading his message of intolerance with impunity.
But, once again, it's a note from a church bathroom (this one spotted by Jess in Boston) that really pushes things to a whole new level of divine didacticism.
Can I get a witness?!

"Not long before I left my previous job writing reviews of video games, I got this little gem from someone involved in the production of a game I didn't exactly care for," Alex says. "Game-makers bitching about reviews is nothing new, but rarely do they do it with as much sarcastic flair as this one does."

Cameron says the window cases in her college dorm are typically filled with run-of-the-mill upcoming event calendars or bland motivational posters, so this educational display caught her a little off guard.

Alexa in Texas works in a graduate lab of five students. One Friday, she says, "our advisor came in around 9:30 a.m. looking for us. No dice: except for one poor guy, we were all out." When the hard-working crew finally rolled in around 1:30 (or, um, 3 p.m.), they were greeted by this inspirational slogan pinned to the door.

"My roommate thinks I took her dry erase board when I was 40 miles away the week it was taken," says an anonymous college student in Tampa, Florida. "She has been leaving me notes like this ALL YEAR."
God help our poor submitter, but I'm nominating this crazy rainbow of a note for the passive-aggressive hall of fame. (Prize: a year's worth of anger-management therapy?)

"It seems too many people have made love to the office water cooler," says Lizzy in New York. And some of them, it seems, are getting a little sloppy.
Lizzy says the "Office of Water" thing refers to the fact that "Our office is full of water. Like, the fridge doesn't have anything but bottled water and Coke," but I'm not quite buying it. I'd like to think this came from the EPA's official Office of Water (Benjamin H. Grumbles, assistant administrator).

Sure, those luxury condos going up all over downtown Austin might look swanky, but our anonymous Austin submitter says her building offers plenty of exciting local color you won't find in those glass-and-steel towers.
Perks include: 1) the building's property manager, a character known for his impassioned screeds about everything from trash cans to expired vehicle registrations, and 2) a recurring sewage back-up that flows into the downstairs bathrooms of all the units. Rock 'n' roll, dude!
"The roto-rooter has said repeatedly that the backup is caused by roots growing into the sewer system," our submitter says, but that explanation didn't seem to satisfy her tireless PM. Now he's offering tenants flexible lease arrangements, too!
