Though the digital onslaught has been underway since May, the paperback edition of E.L. James's gazillion-selling international hit Fifty Shades of Grey hits American shores on April 3, thanks to the folks at Vintage. The erotic, S&M-themed coming-of- age has been called everything from "mommy porn" to the second coming of The Story of O, and the appeal is obvious for anyone who's noticed the way grown women snapped up the Twilight series—in fact, the Fifty Shades trilogy famously began as Twilight fan fiction.
But what if a sexually naïve woman's initiation into S&M isn't your thing? Or you've already read all three novels on your favorite digital reading device? Or you're just plain contrarian? What's out there for you this week?
As a public service, The Tip Sheet breaks down the appeal of Fifty Shades into its component parts and offers five alternates, also new this week:
The lurid sex factor:
Sweet Addiction by veteran romance author Maya Banks is Berkley's cagey counterprogramming for Fifty Shades, the story of a powerful man, the sexually submissive woman he desires, and the woman's current "master." It's Fifty Shades meets Indecent Proposal. The cover, featuring the derrière of a woman bound by a string of pearls, should draw Fifty Shades fanatics right in.
Party of Three (NAL) is the latest in prolific author Lacey Alexander's H.O.T. Cops series, featuring a male-male-female threesome, their romantic getaway, and the unpredictable results. Those chiaroscuro torsos on the cover should be plenty to get browsers' attention.
The possibly-dangerous/fiercely-protective lover factor:
The Shape of Desire is the latest paranormal romance from Sharon Shinn (see our Q&A) and Ace, in which the long-term relationship between a human woman and her shape-shifting manimal gets tricky when a series of murders seems to lead back to their front door.
The "everyone else is reading it" factor:
Get a jump on the crowd by picking up Paris in Love: A Memoir by romance author Eloisa James, out in a handsome hardcover from Random. James likely has this year's big French memoir on her hands, and it probably won't be long before fans of Amy Thomas's Paris, My Sweet, Adam Gopnick's Paris to the Moon, Pamela Druckerman's Bringing Up Bébé, David Sedaris's Me Talk Pretty One Day, David Lebovitz's The Sweet Life in Paris, Julia Child's My Life in France, Elizabeth Bard's Lunch in Paris, Helena Frith Powell's All You Need to Be Impossibly French—and others!—make it the next Francophilic bestseller.
The restless mom factor:
Making Babies: Stumbling into Motherhood (Norton) is another first foray into memoir from a seasoned novelist, in this case Irish author Anne Enright. At 37, 18 years into her marriage, Enright gets pregnant with her first child, embarking on a wholly unexpected journey from grumpy outsider ("I never liked being around nursing women") to full-fledged member of the Happy Mommies contingent. Expect "hilarious" and "brutally honest" insights into the state of modern motherhood, as well as a dose of pure wonder: perfect for both cathartic anxiety relief and uplifting affirmation.

Continuing Attila's terrible afternoon, now Sarah figured that she simply has to give some slaps to him, so, he'll remember for her for sure!
Sarah took off her stockings, and Attila has to admire, worship, kiss and lick her bare feet now.
Sarah is not that big, but Attila is not that strong either, and he has to bear her on his chest, because Sarah has never get bored of bothering him...
Attila doesn't like if his face is touched, so Sarah decides to bother him kissing, biting and licking his face, and he has to stand it.
Continuing Sarah and Attila's playful activities, Sarah makes Attila lick and kiss her feet in pantyhose.
Sarah and Attila are continuing their kinky afternoon, this time "poor guy" gets a hand job.

Continuing bfc348, Sarah finishes the afternoon with a footjob for Attila - taking off her high heels!
Sarah gives Attila a true lesson. She forces her ass on Attilas face and doesn't let him go. She sits on it on every angle possible. Attila is helpless and has to accept whats coming for him.

Love my truck hate rust
By brian w on
Vehicle2004 Ford F-350 Super Duty 2dr Regular Cab XL 4WD LB (5.4L 8cyl 6M)
ReviewI have had a 03 with v10 and 04 with v10 they have the same every thing. But the 03 was junk maybe built on Friday. Not the motor just the rest.

Simple IRC Socket - handles communication between an IRC server and consumers.
The socket is a thin wrapper around a generic socket,
npm install simple-irc-socket
var IrcSocket = ;var myConnection = ;
capab: true is passed to the configuration object the library will send
CAP LS first to initiate a capabilities negotiation.
A simple irc socket uses a
net.Socket socket by default. You can pass a
seperate generic socket instead in the second parameter.
If you pass
secure: true in the network configuration object, this parameter is ignored.
var myConnection = ;mySocket
To send messages to the server, use socket.raw(). It accepts either a string or an array which it will convert into a string by joining with a space. The message '''must''' follow the [IRC protocol](https://irc-wiki.org/RFC 1459).
var details = ...;var myConnection = ; mySocket;mySocket
The raw method does not allow the usage of newline characters. This is mostly a security concern, so that if the user of the Socket doesn't validate input, an evil user can't send a command causing the bot to quit:
<eviluser>!say SUCKAS \nQUIT :Mua ha ha
You do not need to handle PING messages. They are filtered from the messages emitted by the socket.
All other messages are emitted via a 'data' event. Receiving callbacks to this event will receive the message as the first parameter.
Examples of reading messages are in the previous example. Messages generally look like the following:
:irc.uk.mibbit.net 376 Havvy :End of /MOTD command.:firstname.lastname@example.com QUIT :Quit: http://www.mibbit.com ajax IRC ClientERROR :Closing Link: Havvy[127-00-00-00.redacted.com] (Quit: I got the messages I want.)
This method will return true when the socket is started, but not ended. It will otherwise return false.
This method returns the realname (also called gecos) of the connection.
The basic-irc-socket is an event emitter. It emits three events.
Install jasmine-node globally, and then test via npm.
npm install -g jasmine-nodenpm test
The socket you pass gets ignored if you pass
secure: true in the network config.
The irc-message module will quickly parse the strings you pass into objects.
For a full IRC framework, take a look at Tennu.

Football: A Song Worth SingingSeptember 15, 2008
Football has taken over my life. Every minute, every second of the day, it's all I think about. If I'm reading the newspaper, I turn to the sports section first. If I switch on the television, its mainly for ESPN. It's gotten to a point where I can turn on the radio, listen to a song, and relate it to football.
How? This may seem totally crazy and rude, but some players or teams just relate to certain songs.
Manchester United
One Monday night I was ready for change. Instead of the usual football or cricket, I decided I was going to watch cartoons. I flipped to the channel and a classic, Adams Family, was just about to start. I sang along with the theme and added a little more flavour to it:
They're creepy and they're kooky,
Mysterious and spooky, They're all together ooky
Fergie's family
How cool, I remember thinking, and wondering what other songs I could relate to players.
Peter Crouch
Mr. Tall and Lanky. Liverpool's former player, and one of my favourites. You'd think it was hard, finding a song that reminds me of Crouch, but it came quite easily. I have this strange liking for nursery rhymes and kid's songs. Not because it makes me cool or anything, mainly because it annoys the hell out of my friends when I sing them.
You might have heard of this one:
My Daddy Long Legs,
You've made my life worthwhile;
My Daddy Long Legs,
You've taught me how to smile.
With his hilarious robot dance and funny way of scoring goals, Daddy long legs has always managed to put a smile to my face
Cristiano Ronaldo
Now, everyone who knows me, will be able to tell you about my intense dislike for Cristiano, and immense love for The Killers.
So it was only obvious that the lyrics:
Well somebody told me
You had a boyfriend
Who looked like a girlfriend
Could only make me think of one person.
Carlos Tevez
Maybe I'm not such a big fan of Ugly Betty, but I do know what it is and well there is—yeah there SO is—a resemblance between Ugly Betty and Tevez.
So for that "Hey Betty, you are beautiful" the re-make of Mika's "Big Girl" really suits Mr. Tevez.
Wayne Rooney
I came across this song a few days ago when i was going through my music folder on the computer. I have no idea how it got there, but it sounded pretty cool.
This is how the song goes:
"Jump around
Fat boy you're big and round
Uptown, downtown, around the town
All the girls, they don't want a little man now
In London they want a big boy now"
Dear Mr. Rooney,
If you by chance happen to read this, I'm really really sorry. I love you and think you are the best. And if you believe what I'm saying right now you're dumber than you look.
I could relate a million more songs to players or teams, but I think I've written enough. It would be interesting to learn how other crazy people like me compare songs to players *hint* *hint*.

Remember the Culture? Not the Iain M. Banks civilization, interesting as that is. I mean the yeast from last week's post Culture is Science.
You'll recall I mentioned that its primary role in the whole baking business is the production of carbon dioxide. Well, you only see that indirectly via the results of the baking, of course, but while it was going through the ten day growth phase, I got the chance (after feeding it on day 5) to get some nice pictures of the swollen bag that results from its generation of the gas after its munching down on flour and sugar:
Impressive huh? It was filling up almost daily after day five. Now, if I'd thought about it at the time, I'd have done a demo and poured (since CO2 is heavy) the gas out of the bag onto a lit candle and watched it gone out and made a video of all of that for you. Let's pretend I did that…

And so, WoW Asia delves into the p2w model.Originally Posted by Blizzard Entertainment
I am the lucid dream
Uulwi ifis halahs gag erh'ongg w'ssh
Honor mounts please... SOMETHING to spend honor on. Oh and 15 or whatever Conquest for loosing BG PLZ. Cause you know, when you've been at 4k honor for months and you loose 5 BG in a row, it feels like you're being scammed.
TL;DR : I quit if haste pally is hurt bad, I know noone cares, but I enjoy this game alot, but don't enjoy being replaced because my class/build took nerf bat to face and i couldnt replace gear in time to be valid. Prot pallys now feel unique to me, only class Im truly good at, if they know longer feel fun to me then I'll no longer wanna play.
I've never played Prot paladin and enjoyed as much as I have since I have started to tank again during 5.2/5.3 I feel that us stacking haste, doing a decent amount of healing, and more depending on your gear, the amount of haste you get up to ect. The amount of damage you can do dependent on this, the unique feel to it, the low down time that makes it feel for fluent and full and not boring at all. I remember tanking during ICC, and how the only reason I did not reroll, Is at the time it was the only class and spec I really knew how to play, what I was truly good at and still am. Back then I didn't really enjoy it thou, but now I do. But if I end up not enjoying the one thing I am really great at in WoW, Prot paladin tanking the Im quitting. This happened to me with mages at the start of MoP, leveled one to 90, went fire, spent 80,000 gold gearing it out to raid with my guild, fire gets nerfed for that patch because it then required insane amounts of gear I'd never obtain and I did not enjoy other mage specs.
So I'll be quite honest if these changes to paladins glyph of battle healer and grand crusader, greatly impact the haste build for paladins I'll once again be leaving the came, if I can not get the gear appropriate in time for next patch. When fire mages were still greatly valid in 5.1 I leveled a mage to 90, and spent 80k gearing it out to raid with my guild just for it to get nerfed to the point it was no longer valid for the gear of that patch because fire is the only mage spec I enjoy I quit the game. why would they damage something that almost every single paladin builds into? If this reaally harms the build, there is going to be alot of people being replaced from their raid teams ect.
Now they are possibly doing the same? so if this really hurts haste build, and i can't get regeared in time for 5.4 I quit. I really hate quitting this game, I enjoy raiding, enjoy hanging with guild member ect, hell I even now enjoy actually doing daily quest and farming for rep some what. But what I don't enjoy, is getting the nerf bat and no longer being valid, so noone no longer takes me to raids cause Im taking a ton of damage/dont do enough damage/ect ect.

Buying lesser charms? I have HUNDREDS of coins and I will never spend them all at only 50 a week. I can't think of a bigger waste. These things are like candy. You get them for everything.
I ran the blue post through Gizoogle so you can laugh while you rage at the clearly imminent P2W buy HC-Thunderforge items (no).

Good job, corporate greed.
Well, we did play some pay to win games. We don't want Wow to become one of them. Lesser charms might just be the beginning, that's why I seems so alarmed.
We don't want pay to win, lesser charms of good fortune MIGHT seems like a good idea, I'm more afraid of what will come next.
Remember Swtor, this is what true failure is :
Crew Skills
Game Login
Bank / Cargo Hold
Credit Cap
Secure Trading
Galactic Trade Network

Quick Travel
Emergency Fleet Pass
Item Equipping
Commendations Cap
Experience Rate
Experience Rate: Rest XP
Valor Rate
GUI: Quickbars
Items: Event Rewards
Items: Mod Removal
Items: Augment Slots
Customer Service Support
Wow is FAR from this, VERY far.
But if people actually show blizzard that they are willing to pay TWICE for their game, what will stop them ?
Knowledge is power, and power corrupts. So study hard and be evil.
Currently, on live, we don't have any burst.
But when RoRO procs, we get a chance to line up with the other damagedealers... Even do more damage than them...
But no, let's change the mastery once again... Let's give monks even less chances to do a meaningful damage at any given time...
No words.
if buying levels was something that could make you quit then you would have already done so by now given the RaF option
i don't want meaningful gear or achievements to be for sale, but everything else that people buy already from 3rd parties is fine with me. so if blizzard gives someone the option to buy an xp boost maybe they take that instead of risking their info with a website leveling service. blizzard profits and prevents a customer service issue when people get scammed.
the only items i might could accept being in the store would be toys, heirlooms, and transmogrification pieces. any more serious items would probably be crossing the line for my taste.

I am so glad I am letting my subscription expire when my 6 months runs out. This whole LETS CHARGE YOU FOR EVERYTHING mentality and give 2 sh*ts about the community attitude is just unbelievable. As I have said many times now, if they really cared about the community they would have done something about dying realms 3 years ago, not the solutions they are presenting today and the tweet a few days ago about ToT not being cross realm raid-able devaluing guilds and realms... Really? Wake up Blizzard, realms with very low populations don't have thriving communities or guilds.
As much as this is painful to say, Bobby Kottick owns Blizzard Entertainment, that is technicolor clear today.
I think the insult here that people are missing is that you have a subscription to a game, then an in game store that makes you more efficient at it. It's always been one or the other, not both.

Research In Motion Ltd. is again on the move, this time because of an upgrade from an analyst at Goldman Sachs on Thursday to a "buy" recommendation. But apart from moving on analyst opinions, saturated coverage by the media and a reappraisal of the company's ability to survive in the smartphone market, the stock now seems to have attracted the attention of traders – nimble folk who can buy and sell the same stock a number of times over the course of a single day.
How else can you explain the spike in volume? Over the three full trading days this week, trading volume in New York has averaged more than 75 million shares a day – with Thursday on track to beat this number – or more than three-times the average over the past 200 days.
"It's totally a trading stock," said Phil Pearlman, executive editor of StockTwits, a platform that allows investors to comment and discuss stocks.
"They're looking for volatility and they're looking for liquidity. They need a stock that's moving and a stock that they can get in and out of, without moving it."
RIM has seen its profile boosted over the past week, partly because of positive buzz over its upcoming platform, BlackBerry 10, which some observers believe could put the company back in the smartphone race; and partly because of analyst enthusiasm. Apart from the Goldman Sachs upgrade, which included a price-target boost to $16 from $9, Scotia Capital, CIBC World Markets, National Bank and Jefferies & Co. have boosted their recommendations or target prices or both.
Now, with traders taking over, are the fundamental reasons for investing in RIM – perhaps some sort of long-term belief in the BlackBerry – out the window? Mr. Pearlman has a good answer to that:
"The fundamental value of a stock is an imaginary point on the chart. Nobody can pinpoint it exactly," he said. "Everyone has their models and opinions – the classic being discounted cash flow. But it's an elusive, unknowable number.
"Trading can oscillate the value, but it can move it away from [fair value] or towards it. It can increase volatility or it can decrease volatility. But it does increase liquidity."

It started a few weeks ago when Fitz's Fries on Bridge Street opened for the season, and I noticed that the deck chairs and lifeguard stands are out at the Long Island Aquatic Club. Now I'm excited! This Saturday, spring officially arrives in Manotick!
First, Watson's Mill opens for the summer season on Saturday. Throughout the day there will be historical interpreters and milling demonstrations, and a BBQ from 11:45 to 1:30 pm. The Mill is raising funds this summer to replace its leaky roof, so some local politicians will be on hand to support the Raise the Roof campaign.
And when the Mill is open, so is the terrific little used book sale in the carriage house building across the street. We spent a lot of time perusing its stacks last summer and have been waiting patiently through the long winter for it to re-open. If you've made the trip out, wander a block or two south on Dickinson to Tighe Street and check out My Toy Shop and maybe get an ice cream at the delightful HodgePodge Shoppe.
Edited to add: Was just out and about and noticed that also on Saturday, the Hodge Podge Shoppe is celebrating their 1st anniversary with door prizes, balloons, Dino Reptiles and the Junkyard Symphony. Fun!
Did you hear that there will be a new farmer's market in Manotick this summer?
The farmers' market is sponsored by Watson's Mill and will be held in Dickinson Square outside the museum from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. every Saturday morning beginning June 23. This year's market is a pilot project run by volunteers rather than the usual board of directors, and could expand in the future if it goes well.
Although the details haven't been ironed out, Roots and Shoots Farm proprietor Robin Turner, who spearheaded the idea with several local farmers, said the market will offer a beneficial alternative for residents.
"We're gearing to make it a market where people can get a good part of their groceries for the week," including vegetables, fruits, cheese, eggs, meats and baked goods, he said.
It will be a "producer market" meaning the vendors actually produce the food they sell, Turner added.
"There's no reselling allowed, which means its all going to be local products. There's an emphasis on finding producers who are as close to Manotick as possible," he said.
I don't know whether I'm more excited about this – a two-minute walk from my house, no less! – or the new CSA share I just signed up for from Roots and Shoots farm – which I'll blog about as soon as I find another minute or two.
It's shaping up to be a terrific summer in Manotick!

Gov. Bill Haslam on Friday announced three new appointments to the Special Supreme Court to hear a case from which all five Tennessee Supreme Court justices have recused themselves.
The Special Supreme Court will decide an appeal of Hooker et al. v. Haslam et al., a lawsuit challenging the constitutionality of a state Court of Criminal Appeals appointment by Haslam.
The new special appointees are:
J. Robert Carter Jr. is a criminal court judge in Shelby County who served as an assistant district attorney general for 26 years before his election.
James R. Dedrick retired in 2010 from the U.S. Attorney's Office where he had served since 1993 as the U.S. attorney for the Eastern District of Tennessee.
Monica N. Wharton serves as the chief legal counsel for the Regional Medical Center at Memphis, overseeing the risk management and legal affairs department since 2008.
Carter, Dedrick and Wharton join the two previous Special Supreme Court appointees Andrée Sophia Blumstein and W. Morris Kizer.
Blumstein and Kizer were originally appointed in July with three other appointees who recused themselves in late August.
Better watch out! Here Bill goes again.
Let me be absolutely certain I have correctly understood this article.
Each Supreme Court Justice has recused themselves from hearing a particular appeal.
To facilitate the hearing of that appeal, Governor Haslam has appointed a Special Supreme Court.
The appeal in question is, to keep this short, Hooker vs Haslam.
Does anyone besides me have concerns about the governor appointing justices to hear an appeal in which he is involved, especially after everyone involved has stepped back, in effect invoking the spirit of Pontius Pilate?
I'm not schooled in law, but I cannot help but believe this will be an exercise in wasting money, as there will almost certainly be challenges about the impartiality of those appointed by someone party to the proceedings.
As ever, I take heart Tennessee will provide more fodder for comedians and late night TV hosts, keeping them employed.
This is a very important case to all citizens of this state. Yes, John Jay
is often dismissed by the Courts that disagree with his correct
interpretations of the Tenn Constitution. He is, however, exactly right
on this one, but the system is out to show it's power and will on a
bad law that serves their interest and not the public's.
I suppose there is an underlying reason this is called a "Special" Supreme Court.

Next up is the third in our series of Winter Wildcard articles. Having rolled out pieces on the Goalkeepers and Defenders, it won't be much of a surprise to learn that the midfielders are next on the agenda.
Juan Mata
Due to a hectic summer with his national side, the first three fixtures of the season were something of a write-off but after being rested for Gameweek 4, Mata has been simply sensational. Chelsea's key midfielder has scored or assisted in 11 of his subsequent 12 starts, with only the occasional threat of rotation scuppering his prospects in a season that has so far seen him average 7.2 FPL points per start. As the Blues head into their double with Stoke and Southampton, we can only hope Rafa Benitez has learned his lesson, after the decision to bench the 9.9 priced proved disastrous last time round as Chelsea slumped to a 1-0 home loss to QPR. The stats say it all, really; the London outfit have scored two goals over the five games Mata has failed to start, compared to 37 strikes in the 15 fixtures he has been named in the first XI. According to our season ticker, the Blues have the second strongest schedule over the next 10 Gameweek; aside from the double, games against Reading, Wigan, West Brom, Fulham, West Ham and Southampton look set to continue the sensational displays that have already seen the former Valencia man better both his goal and bonus haul from his debut campaign at the Bridge. Tonight's 90 minutes in the Capital One Cup defeat to Swansea might shake the double Gameweek confidence in Mata somewhat, but, given his league form, he remains difficult to ignore.
Theo Walcott
While a move up front in Arsenal's recent league matches has bolstered Walcott's appeal, he's consistently produced the points regardless of position over the last few months. The first 10 Gameweeks earned Walcott a single start for the Gunners, with Arsene Wenger's faith seemingly floundering, but from Gameweek 11 onwards he's been hugely impressive. The former Southampton man has scored or assisted in seven of his last eight starts and despite a handful of sub appearances, has still managed to average 6.3 points per game – bettering Santi Cazorla's 5.8 average, in spite of the fact that the latter has started every league game under Wenger. Walcott has racked up 956 minutes so far – almost a third of last season's game time – yet has already equalled his goal haul and has supplied just three assists less than the previous term's tally. Coming in at 9.0 in FPL, Walcott will be looking to take advantage of an upcoming run that hands Arsenal a home game in five of the next six Gameweeks (MCI, che & WHM, LIV, STO, sun, AVL) with the upcoming double against Chelsea and West Ham set to entice plenty more owners his way – over 87,000 managers have snapped him up heading into the weekend clash with City.
Gareth Bale
The Welshman seems to have upped his attacking displays since Andre Villas-Boas' arrival at the Lane last summer. Bale has already notched nine times and racked up 20 bonus points and is clearly on course to smash last term's totals of 10 and 21 respectively, with five lots of double figures already returned in 17 appearances. While he continues to frustrate at home, with just two goals in nine at the Lane, Bale's away displays have proved sensational, with a 16 point haul at Old Trafford indicative of his fixture-proof potential. Indeed, Spurs seem to be suit playing on the road – they have scored 22 times in 10 away matches, compared to 17 goals in 11 games at the Lane; a reason for optimism ahead of a run of fixtures that sees them on their travels in four of the next six (qpr, MUN, nor, wba, NEW, whm). So far this season, Bale has averaged 6.5 points per game – top for midfielders, with Robin Van Persie the only attacker to prove superior; with that in mind, a price of 9.8 looks a bargain.
Marouane Fellaini
The rumour mill is buzzing over a potential move away from Goodison over the winter window but for the purposes of this article, we're assessing Fellaini's potential from an Everton perspective. With a goal or assist in 10 of his 16 appearances, the Belgian's move to a more advanced role this season, tucking in behind Nikica Jelavic, has been hugely beneficial to his Fantasy prospects – he is just 11 points short of his best FPL tally of 111, set back in 2008-09. Having peaked at 7.9, Fellaini has tumbled down to 7.4, with huge numbers of Fantasy managers shipping him out in light of a result of a recent three-match suspension. David Moyes' side are now handed four enticing home fixtures in the next seven (SWA, WBA, AVL, RDG) and with trips to Southampton and Norwich also on their short-term agenda, Fellaini's mid-price appeal has persuaded almost 130,000 managers to scramble aboard the bandwagon since the end of the previous Gameweek. With eight goals, five assist and five lots of double figures already accrued, he looks primed to produce the goods once again.
Gaston Ramirez
The Uruguayan is expected to recover from a dead leg in time for Southampton's visit to Villa this weekend for the first match of their double Gameweek. Coming in at just 5.6 in FPL, Ramirez has produced a goal, an assist and five bonus points in his last couple of appearances and looks a real differential prospect, with an ownership of just 0.5%. An average of 4.2 points per game is second only to Rickie Lambert for the Saints and with a home clash against Everton and a trip to Wigan in his next four, Ramirez could prove a canny short-term acquisition, with Nigel Adkins relying more than ever on his output, in light of Adam Lallana's knee injury.
Kevin Nolan
A single goal since Gameweek 8 has lessened his appeal but a favourable short-term schedule could afford the Hammers skipper a chance to return to form. In addition to double Gameweek 23 (QPR, ars), Nolan also squares up to Sunderland, Fulham, Swansea and Villa over the next five Gameweeks – with Andy Carroll edging towards a comeback and the aerial threat of Marouane Chamakh also added to the options up front, Nolan will be looking to benefit from and still looks a reasonable shout for just 6.5, before the fixture list takes a turn for the worse once again for Sam Allardyce's side in Gameweek 27.
Robert Snodgrass
A goal and assist in the opening 13 Gameweeks was scant reward for the Norwich playmaker but Snodgrass has flourished over the last few matches. With the majority of free kicks and corners in his locker, the summer signing from Leeds United has subsequently racked up three goals, three assists and 10 bonus points in his last eight matches in a series of displays that bring him firmly into our thoughts. Clearly, his contribution is vital to Chris Hughton's side and a run of five home fixtures in the next eight (NEW, TOT, FUL, EVE, SOT) will hold no fear for a Canaries side that have already seen off the likes of United and Arsenal at Carrow Road earlier this season. Coming in at 6.2 in FPL, Snodgrass' total of 16 bonus points has been bettered by just two midfielders so far (Gareth Bale and Yaya Toure), while four lots of double figure hauls is indicative of the explosive potential that will surely see his current ownership of 7.9% rise further.
A pretty obvious option but it's impossible to ignore Swansea's summer signing. A total of 13 goals and one assist, supplemented by 11 bonus points, earns Michu top spot in the current FPL midfielder standings, with an ownership of 46% indicative of our collective show of faith – a good Fantasy week for Michu can send you tumbling down the rankings if you don't have him. While his price has leapt from 6.5 to 8.2, he still remains exceptional value for money ahead of a schedule that sees him play host to Stoke, QPR and Newcastle in his next three at the Liberty – eight goals in 11 home matches highlights his deadly form in front of the Swansea faithful, while trips to Sunderland and West Ham in the next four also hold appeal. Tonight's strike in the Capital One cup win at Stamford Bridge underlined his qualities – Michu's confidence in front of goal seems to be unwavering.
Adam Johnson/ Stephane Sessegnon
Sunderland's enticing schedule brings the pair into our thoughts. Over the next nine Gameweeks, Martin O'Neill's side welcome West Ham, Swansea, Fulham and Norwich to Wearside and also pay visit to the current bottom three, with trips to Wigan, Reading and QPR on their agenda. So far, Johnson has outperformed Sessegnon in terms of Fantasy returns, despite the latter's role in "the hole"; although both have found the net three times, Johnson has provided four assists to the Benin international's three. Indeed, Johnson's average of 4.1 points per game is superior to Sessegnon's 3.8 and is second only to Steven Fletcher for the Black Cats – a FPL price of 6.7 and ownership of less than 2% could well appeal to those looking for a real mid-price differential, who has scored or assisted in three of his last four home games. Sessegnon, at 7.2, has also ticked along in recent games, with attacking returns in three of his last six and is certainly the most explosive of the pair, as last term's returns testify – if he hits form, he could prove the better option.
Raheem Sterling
There's no doubt the recent displays of Steven Gerrard have kept the teenager out of the Fantasy limelight but an upcoming run of fixtures, which sees Liverpool travel to United, Arsenal and City in the next four, is likely to deter many from investing in the premium priced Reds' skipper. Sterling, on the other hand, is priced at just 5.6 and could appeal to those Fantasy managers who still want Liverpool coverage without going overboard on budget – a goal and a couple of bonus points in the previous Gameweek against Sunderland suggest a return to form after a couple of bench appearances and with the schedule looking particularly enticing from Gameweek 26 onwards, many may decide to snap him up just now rather than spend a transfer later on.
Jon Walters
A somewhat unglamorous pick, the Stoke man continues to steadily accumulate the points and currently sits in joint ninth spot for FPL midfielders on 92 points, alongside Yaya Toure. Walters' appeal was somewhat diminished earlier in the season by a shift to the Potters' right flank but a tactical reshuffle has earned him a role in "the hole" behind Kenwyne Jones and boosted his out of position prospects once again. Patience in the key with Walters; he has started every game under Tony Pulis this term, though tends to be less explosive than most, with just two double figure returns to his name. Walters has earned nine extra clean sheet points thanks to the resilient Stoke rearguard and with spot-kick duties also in his locker, he's capable of ticking along nicely. After 10 matches at the Britannia, Pulis' side remain the only unbeaten home side in the league and now have five fixtures in front of their own fans (CHE, WIG, RDG, WHM, WBA) to continue their impressive form. Coming in at 6.6 in FPL, Walters is the second top scoring Fantasy asset for Stoke, just one point behind Asmir Begovic – while the Chelsea clash lessens his appeal, the remaining above-mentioned home fixtures affords him plenty opportunity to add to his five goals, three assists and 10 bonus points so far.
Adel Taarabt
Omitted from Morocco's African Cup of Nations squad, the maverick midfielder is free to aid QPR's bid to beat the drop. Harry Redknapp's arrival has made a definite difference to Taarabt's Fantasy potential – he has averaged 4.6 points per game over the R's eight games under their new manager, compared to 3.2 ppg beforehand. Up next, he has three home games in the next four (TOT, whm, MCY, NOR) and if he can turn his superb Opta stats into Fantasy points, Taarabt could yet prove a bargain at 5.6 for the short-term and beyond, as Redknapp looks to engineer a scramble to safety.

I have very fond memories of my last time at Matilda Bay Restaurant with two of my favourite people in my life; the Boy and my dearest Mum. It was Christmas Day lunch some years ago and it remains one of our most relaxing and stress-free Christmas's to date. So when the Boy invited me to join him there on a business dinner recently I didn't have to hesitate in my response!
Being so food obsessed is proving to be my Achilles heel by hindering my success in achieving the svelte bride body that I want. I have a bad habit of over eating and seem to enjoy the feeling of being insanely full. My solution is simply to focus on eating less for the last six months in the lead up to the big day. This night out was to be the last night of uninhibited eating before the frustrations of restriction begun so I wanted to go out with a bang.
You can only imagine my disappointment when a few hours before we were to all meet for dinner, the Boy was informed by email that the invitation didn't extend to partners. Knowing how much I was looking forward to the evening and presuming the refusal was due to a strict budget, the Boy explained that we were not expecting a free meal and I was more than happy to pay my own way. Unfortunately this wasn't good enough for the agency and after receiving a fairly patronising reply the Boy's blood started to boil.
Not wanting to disappoint his food obsessed wife-to-be, he softened the blow of the bad news to me by offering to still take me out somewhere nice. We toyed with the idea of getting a table right next to the one I got booted off at Matilda Bay purely for entertainment value. However after briefly thinking about this further we figured that probably wouldn't gone down so well! After a few unsuccessful calls to some favourite venues, he managed to secure us a reservation at InContro in South Perth. We even managed to get a table with city and river views. (My apologies in advance for the photos…even Gordon didn't cope in such low level lighting!)
InContro offers a style of dining they call "piccolo dining" which is a bit like a Mediterranean version of tapas. They create small dishes for the entire table to share and it is brought to the table in a tiered rack reminding me of years gone by where I shared High Tea with my Dad and stepmum at Brown's Hotel in London. After discussing my allergies with our waitress, she offered for the chef to select appropriate dishes to make up a two courses of a piccolo experience. Not being in the mood for anything specific, the Boy and I both smiled at each other and chose to go ahead with her recommendation. I love surprises!
Each course contained three carefully selected and quite interesting dishes using lots of fresh seasonal local produce. The succulent frenched Dorper lamb cutlets were topped with Moroccan spiced cauliflower. The sweet tasting cumin paired harmoniously with the tender lamb leaving me wishing we had more.
Our seared scallops were plump with a crisp browned surface and a nearly creamy centre of amazingness. On a bed of pea puree and topped with crispy shreds of prosciutto these little morsels were nearly as moreish as the cutlets. I was pretty excited about what else was to come.
Our third entrée was simply described as a lobster salad. A fairly decent serve of decadent lobster sat innocently hidden underneath a handful of shredded greens. Further hiding below the lobster was bite sized chunks of thoroughly dressed avocado, tomato and fresh herbs. Although this dish wasn't much to look at, each mouthful was bursting with flavour.
The sticky Black Angus short rib was the "to die for" dish of the evening. Unfortunately my photos didn't turn out as well as I would have liked them to due to the beef sitting at the top of the three levelled tier. Not being a very tall person I really struggled to steady my camera. Of course my lack of hand stability that had nothing to do with the three glasses of Billecart I had drunk previously. Not at all.
The meat didn't just fall off the bone it slivered off and dissolved in the mouth like cotton candy. The marinade was thick, sticky and subtly sweet and neither of us could help ourselves as we scraped the remaining sauce off the board with our forks, trying to savour its flavour for as long as possible.
In my excitement of this final night of excess I had not bothered to go through the nitty gritty of my fructose malabsorption with our waitress. I had purely just requested no gluten or no onion. Thus I did have to sift through our pork dish to avoid the little cubes of pear. The pork belly had just the right balance of fat, meat and crackling and didn't leave any unpleasant porkiness taste in my mouth. The crackling gave a satisfyingly loud crunch as I bit into it.
The salad to accompany our mains dishes contained shaved fennel, pear and candied walnut. Again I had to dodge the pear (my own fault) which was easy enough to do. The salad was light and refreshing on the palate after the two heavier meat dishes.
For dessert the Boy ordered his ice cream as per usual; as you may already know it is fairly uncommon for him to ever order anything else for dessert. I settled for the only gluten free dessert option which was the polenta cake with butterscotch ice cream. It was moist and didn't crumble apart but the butterscotch ice cream was a little sickly sweet for my liking.
InContro is a great local option if we feel like a night out with a bit more class than casual. We have dined here on several occasions over the years and have never been disappointed with either the food or service and they take good diligence in catering to those with allergies. Of course we will be back.InContro 79 South Perth Esplanade, South Perth 6151 | (08) 9474 5566 | www.incontro.com.au Price: $$$$ (Piccolo $9-16/dish, Entrees $22-28, Mains $35-48) Food: 4.5/5 (sticky beef ribs were out of this world) Service: 4/5 (attentive, efficient despite a full house) Ambience: 5/5 (views of Perth city skyline, how can it get better?)

Pirate Exhibit in Norfolk Taps into Pirate Craze

By: Steve Szkotak, Associated Press Writer
Growing up on Cape Cod, explorer Barry Clifford was fascinated by the romantic tale of "Black Sam" Bellamy. Sailing to Massachusetts to rendezvous with his mistress, the pirate encountered a nor'easter that sent him, most of his crew, and tons of gold, silver and jewels to the ocean's bottom.
The lore launched Clifford on a life of treasure-hunting including the discovery in 1984 of the Whydah, Bellamy's treasure-laden three-master, which sank off of Wellfleet, Mass., on April 26, 1717.
"I was looking for treasure, and I found it," Clifford, 64, said. "More treasure than I could have ever imagined. The whole bottom was layered with it."
A sliver of Clifford's discovery is on display through April 4, 2010, at Nauticus, a marine science museum perched on the Norfolk waterfront. "Real Pirates: The Untold Story of the Whydah from Slave Ship to Pirate Ship," organized by National Geographic, includes thousands of gold and silver coins and hundreds of other displays in a 16,000-square-foot interactive exhibition.
They include treasure chests, painstakingly restored cannons, pistols and swords, slabs of weathered timber from the shipwreck and a bell inscribed with the ship's name cementing Clifford's claim that the Whydah is the world's only fully authenticated pirate ship to be discovered.
The Norfolk exhibit taps into a growing fascination with pirates. Examples include the extraordinarily popular "Pirates of the Caribbean" franchise starring Johnny Depp and a growing re-enactor community as passionate as the Civil War fans who stage famous battles, munch on hardtack and dress in scratchy wool uniforms. One popular Web forum, Ye Pirate Brethren, claims hundreds of members who discuss topic ranging from pirate wear (Pantalones and Stockings) to food (Grubniks & Schluessel).
Another manifestation of the pirate craze is the pirate festival, with dozens held around the country. The Portland Pirate Festival in Oregon is awaiting Guinness World Record certification for the largest number of dressed-up pirates in one place 1,651 last September. Tampa, Fla., has one of the oldest pirate events, the Gasparilla Pirate Fest, which started in 1904 and typically attracts some 250,000 people, with the next event scheduled for Jan. 30. Pirates have become popular subjects for museums, too, with a permanent exhibit on Blackbeard's life at the North Carolina Maritime Museum and a proposal for a pirate museum in Atlanta under consideration.
International Talk Like a Pirate Day has grown from a joke between a couple of friends to a craze with apps for iPhones and Facebook. For generalists, Michael Crichton's "Pirate Latitudes," just published posthumously, also takes on the subject in a fictional setting.
The Nauticus display also arrives at a time when pirates are being redefined. It turns out, they weren't all bad, though they were far from good.
Clifford is among those who believe pirates have gotten some bad press over the centuries. He notes, for instance, that the so-called golden age of piracy an era generally defined as from 1650 until 1720 offered opportunities to all in a period when birth and social standing often predestined a person's life. Fully one-third of pirates were of African origin, and many Indians were among pirate crews, he said.
"Make no mistake, these people were outlaws but there were few choices for them," Clifford said during a visit to Nauticus in November for the show's opening.
The former slave ship's original purpose is reflected in its name, which is based on the West African trading town of Ouidah (pronounced WIH'-dah).
A new book, "The Invisible Hook: The Hidden Economics of Pirates," casts pirates and piracy as downright progressive, politically and economically. They embraced democracy, for instance, and were quite tolerant of racial and sexual differences, as Depp's Jack Sparrow might suggest. They even created an early form of worker's compensation and health care.
Author Peter T. Leeson, himself hooked on piracy from an early age after a family trip to Disney World and a spin on the ride "Pirates of the Caribbean," casts an economist's eye on piracy and finds their business practices sound. They were no Robin Hoods, he's quick to add.
"The key thing to recognize is that it's not because pirates were inherently nice guys or progressive in their thinking," Leeson said of crew-friendly initiatives. "It's profit maximizing and that's why they did it."
The Whydah was carrying the cargoes of 50 ships when it sank.
"Thousands and thousands of artifacts have yet to see the light of day," Clifford said in an interview. Estimates put the haul of silver and gold at 5 to 10 tons plus a casket of egg-sized jewels, he said.
Centuries after Bellamy sailed the seas, it's the pirate glitter that still enthralls. Clifford was fascinated by the coins the Whydah would give up occasionally. Cape Cod beachcombers would scoop them up, and Clifford's not averse to using the same bait when a group of schoolchildren came to Nauticus to get a peek at the exhibit.
He offers up a pile of pieces of eight, a sparkling silvery mound on velvet, causing a small stampede.
"It was heavy," Kiesha Shepherd, 13, says later.
Ellen Smith, 13, is interested in the treasures, but she also wants to learn more.
"Usually people know the movie version of pirates," she said. "They don't get to see the real pirates and why they did everything. I'm looking forward to seeing the whole exhibit."
Clifford, whose gnarled fingers reveal the backbreaking work of underwater exploration, said education and not riches is what keeps him returning to the Whydah wreck and others around the globe.
"It means a lot to me to see kids and people really enjoy this much more than the treasure could have meant to sell it," he said. "It doesn't mean anything to me now what it's worth."
At the Nauticus exhibit, young visitors can learn pirate knots, hoist a pirate flag and duck through a wooden door and go below deck of the Whydah in a replica of the ship's stern. Stories of the slave trade and Whydah's crew are also part of the exhibit.
In a nod to the contemporary, dystopian version of piracy, the Nauticus exhibit also includes the lifeboat in which merchant sea Capt. Richard Phillips was held for five days in April off the coast of Africa before military snipers killed three of his captors.
Phillips visited the companion exhibit "Piracy Today: Modern Terror on the High Seas" and posed before the orange, boot-shaped lifeboat on Nov. 18.
Clifford, a fellow New Englander, is fascinated by these modern pirates, too.
"You see these guys coming with these tiny, tiny boats and attacking destroyers," Clifford said. "This is right out of the 'Pirates of the Caribbean.'"

"Just one look, that's all it took..." goes the old R&B classic. ECE research professor Marios Savvides is proving that true again today, although for an entirely different purpose.
Savvides' Biometrics Research Lab is the first academic setting to host a state-of-the-art iris recognition system. Iris-on-the-Move (IOM) can acquire iris images unobtrusively at three meters as a person walks through a portal. Savvides' research has pushed this limit to a 13 meter stand-off yielding a 4X factor in acquisition improvement.
Pittsburgh's WTAE News got a look inside Savvides la and walks viewers through some exciting, futuristic research.
