I usually go into writing my "Vampire Diaries" recaps with a snarky and silly attitude, but right now I'm feeling more nervous than anything!
It's no secret that "By The Light of the Moon" is Tyler's (Michael Trevino) big transformation episode, and judging by the clips we saw of Mason's first turn, it's going to be a hell of a night.
There's plenty going on in Mystic Falls that doesn't involve Tyler. Stefan is trapped in the tomb, Elena is still on a suicide mission, and Jeremy and Bonnie and Luka are part of the most lopsided love triangle ever.
I spent a few days with the cast of "The Vampire Diaries" on their set in Atlanta this week and got some fun insight into the shooting of this episode, which is definitely my most anticipated episode yet. Can they pull off this wolf-out? Let's see.
8:00 p.m. – When Trevino and I spoke this week, he told me that he made a point to be on set when Taylor Kinney shot his transformation scenes, even though he wasn't working that day. I can't wait to see how he makes it his own.
Watching Tyler beg Mason for help is rough. It's almost like he'd be better off knowing Mason is dead than assuming that Mason is prioritizing surfing or Florida or yoga over Tyler.
Hello, Jules! Michaela McManus' "One Tree Hill" character could not have been more boring, but she's a good actress — and totally hot, obviously — so here's hoping that Jules can do what Rose couldn't. We need an antagonistic, badass girl in town.
(By the way, Tyler's computer background is pretty boring. He's so the type to have some Maxim girl up there. Or maybe Matt's mom.)
8:03 – "I'm taking Stefan's side with this one. We're not going to let you get used in some creepy sacrifice ritual." Does Bonnie know that it's not only Elena that would be included in the sacrifice, but also Tyler, Caroline, and Bonnie herself? That was a pretty major plot point, but it hasn't been mentioned since. Everyone is so focused on saving Elena that they've forgotten that half of the characters on the show might go into the doppelganger blood stew, too.
No awkwardness between Bonnie and Jeremy after last week's almost kiss? (By the way, fun fact — Steven R. McQueen tells me that he improvised that tension-filled moment. I'm so glad he did. It felt like a natural direction for the scene, and I liked that Jeremy was a little bit over-eager and made his move too soon. It felt true to his character.)
8:04 – So now Jeremy and Bonnie are scheming up plots to trap Elena in lies? It's so bizarre to me that everyone is allowed to be actively involved in this situation except for Elena herself, who is expected to sit quietly and catch up on "90210" while everyone around her gets their hands dirty and their necks bitten and all that fun stuff.
Ha! Jeremy's self-satisfied smirk when Elena walks into the door is priceless. They've become friends this season, but at the root of it all, they're still siblings who give each other a hard time. Nina Dobrev and McQueen were perfectly cast as siblings – adopted or not – because they've got a sense of ease with each other that comes through even when they're giving each other a hard time.
I love the way the door barrier looked on screen – that must have been the cleanest pane of glass ever.
8:05 – Ah, so it was Damon's idea! That makes much more sense. I love that Damon brings lanterns. Because a good old flashlight and some extra batteries would just mess with the aesthetic.
Stefan seems so relaxed down there. Ever since Katherine returned, she's rarely been able to unnerve Stefan. Sometimes he looks amused by her, sometimes annoyed, but she never just flat-out pisses him off unless she's threatening Elena. I'm surprised he refuses the blood. Isn't sharing with Katherine better than turning into a mummy?
Damon and Stefan have shown each other more trust and compassion in the handful of minutes they've spent together since Stefan got stuck in the tomb than they've shown each other all season. Stefan isn't worried about Damon moving in on Elena — and Damon isn't even considering it. It's a relief. I'd hate for Elena to be able to come between them that easily when they've made so much progress.
8:06 – The dynamic between Tyler and his mom has changed a lot since his dad died. He's always acted out, but Carol and Richard seemed to keep him on a pretty short leash in Season 1 – keeping an eye on who he was hanging out with, making sure he was living up to Lockwood expectations. Now he seems to come and go as he pleases.
I think I like Jules. She doesn't waste any time.
8:07 – Oh, cool, so Aunt Jenna let some random into her house. Can someone please just fill her in so that she can stop doing dumb things that she doesn't even know are dumb?
Caroline is always at the Grill. Do they serve blood on tap?
Also, Tyler kind of sucks at sneaking around. He's got "I've got sketchy stuff in my duffel bag and I'm about to go do sketchy things with it" written all over his face right now. Guilty, guilty, guilty.
Why is Alaric giving them the hairy eyeball? Is he actually going to have a purpose in this episode?
8:08 – Here's the big moment. Damon is in Elena's house, Stefan is locked in a tomb with little hope of escape… is Damon going to make his move? Judging by the look on Elena's face, he'd have to be monumentally stupid to do so.
Honestly, I think it's a very good thing that Damon didn't pursue Elena just because Stefan is temporarily out of commission. He's better than that now.
I love the way that Damon is running this whole operation. He's got a mini-army of various supernatural creatures monitoring the town's various supernatural problems. (Also, his referring to Caroline as Vampire Barbie is magical.) The problem with Damon's plan is Jules — getting busted for sloppily removing Mason Lockwood's heart isn't part of the Save Elena Or Bust detail.
And more adorable-little-brother stuff from Jeremy. Most suicidal siblings ever?
8:09 – I can't quite tell what kind of car Caroline drives, can someone remind me?
Just kidding. This is a great soundtrack junkie moment – and according to music supervisor Chris Mollere, it's "This Time Next Year" by Goldhawks. Unfortunately, it's not available for download anywhere. Yet.
8:10 – Meanwhile, back at the Lockwood mansion, Jules has the audacity to drive a Toyota! Are those even allowed within 100 miles of Mystic Falls? It appears that Jules is in cahoots with… some mysterious stranger on the other end of a cell phone call.
The saddest thing about Mason's death – other than the way we won't get to see him come in from a run all sweaty and grinning ever again – is that he died even before Tyler triggered the curse. He'd have wanted to help Tyler through it. I almost find myself hoping that Jules will be able to do that somehow – even though Caroline can understand Tyler on some level, it seems like being a vampire is pretty easy in comparison.
8:13 – MATT! And he doesn't even get a line.
8:14 – While I was in Atlanta this week I got to look around in the cellar set where Tyler transformed. Even on the stages, it looks completely creepy – you get the feeling that nothing good goes on in there.
"What should I wear
? I don't think it's like 'The Hulk' where I get to keep my pants," Tyler says. At least he's got some semblance of his sense of humor left. I like that Caroline, who spent a good portion of Season 1 as Damon's chewtoy, gets anxious at the sight of Tyler taking off his shirt. (Yes, I suppose there's a possibility that Damon compelled her to sleep with him… but I'm going to hope that's not the case, because gross.)
8:16 – Ugh, Luka. I almost liked him for a moment there when he was standing up to Bonnie, and then he did that whole you're-so-pretty-I-forgive-you thing, and I had to roll my eyes. Whatever this guy's angle is, I don't like it.
If Dr. ManWitch is collecting grimoires from all over the place, he's probably got an extraordinary amount of power and knowledge. Run, Bonnie. Run for your life.
8:18 – Yay, drunk Alaric! Or fake drunk Alaric, as the case may be. I've missed watching him and Damon team up against their common enemies. They are, as Ian Somerhalder told me, "the oddest of bedfellows," but their dynamic works and feels really fresh because we don't get to see it often.
Jules, however, isn't buying into it – and I don't blame her, because Damon isn't too convincing as the swooping-in-to-save-the-damsel-in-distress type.
8:18 – Back in the tomb… I think it's genius that Stefan and Katherine got locked up together because their chemistry is phenomenal. even if it is an obvious dream sequence. I have to admit, when I saw the promo for this episode, I hoped that the cave sex was the real deal. But in order for it to be genuine, it'd have to happen after ages and ages of Katherine manipulating Stefan into believing that Damon and Elena were up to no good above ground. There's no way he'd give in this easily. Even though I totally want him to.
8:20 – Oh, Aunt Jenna.
8:25 – Fantastic. So now Elijah is in the house, and Elena can't get out of the house. Great plan, Damon.
Why is Elena knocking on Jeremy's door at a time like this? If there was ever a time to throw caution to the wind and bust in without knocking, it's when an unkillable vampire who wants to sacrifice you is hanging out downstairs making nice with your aunt.
8:27 – It's hard to care what's going on elsewhere in this episode knowing that Tyler is about to turn and that Caroline is down in that tomb with him. When we first met Tyler, he was easily the most flat character on the show. Unreasonable bully with a misogynistic streak, the product of crappy parenting. Boring. Somewhere along the way, though, viewers really started to feel for him.
Though we still don't know what makes him tick, necessarily, we do see his vulnerability. Watching him pace and hearing the chains drag across the floor is unsettling. The noises he makes as he chokes down the wolfsbane are downright disturbing.
I like that he apologizes to Caroline for his outburst, even though she knew what she was in for, to some degree. The old Tyler probably wouldn't have apologized at all. Their connection and chemistry is fantastic. She's really shown up for him in ways no one else has before.
8:29 – Daniel Gillies as Elijah was a great casting move. His undeterminable accent and sharp, Damon-esque way of delivering dialogue make him scary, but his casual posturing keep him oddly relatable. He confesses that he doesn't care about breaking the vampire spell – and why should he? He's got a daylight savings ring and werewolves aren't exactly an imminent threat to the vampire race when there are so few of them left.
What he does want is to draw Klaus out of hiding. I dig his honesty here. "I'm a man of my word, Elena. I make a deal, I keep a deal." Of course, you'd better be damn sure you don't leave any loopholes in your dealmaking, as we saw with Rose and Trevor.
Elena is pretty ballsy to try to negotiate with terrorists, but I've got to hand it to her for trying. She may be locked up, but she's not willing to sit idly by.
8:31 – Ugh, Luka.
Once again, it seems like Bonnie is overestimating her own ability. Call me crazy, but a spell that encompasses all werewolves and vampires at the very essence of their curses should be more difficult than a spell that essentially locks a door, right? Why does Bonnie think they can do this after everything?
Also, magic must be orgasmic, literally. The look on Bonnie's face every time she and Luka do anything magical makes me feel like I should look away.
8:32 – Tyler's voice and the desperate breaths he's taking are literally making my stomach churn. I've said it before – portraying all-encompassing pain can't be easy for an actor because there aren't a lot of reference points for it. Trevino is making me nauseous here… which is a good thing.
Guys cry on this show all the time, but it's rare to see them actually sob, so I'm glad they went there here. It reminds me a little of when Stefan first went blood-crazy last season, because all vanity for the actor is out the window. It's an ugly process and they don't sacrifice authenticity in favor of making it look "cool."
Caroline is so brave in this scene, I can't even stand it. Best character development ever.
Props to the visual effects team – and the sound effects guys, for that matter – because Tyler's arm breaking and twisting was almost unwatchable… in a good way.
This scene definitely isn't about the CGI, though. Tyler's "It hurts, it hurts" is what really got me. (Yeah, I'm crying, shut up.)
This is pretty much the most necessary commercial break in the history of television. I need to walk it off.
8:37 – Jules is a great addition. She gives us the opportunity to see the other side of being a werewolf. Obviously her transformation is much quicker, since she's still in the bar while Tyler looks like something out of the exorcist. She also implies that she's got some control over what she does as a wolf, since she's threatening Damon specifically. I like that werewolves have a hyper sense of smell, too – that could come in handy… especially because if Tyler knows what a vampire smells like because of Caroline, he might catch on to Damon and Stefan.
8:38 – Speaking of Tyler… can this just end already? Trevino's performance is blowing my expectations out of the water (which is saying something, because my expectations were pretty high to begin with) but I don't want to see any more of it. It's scaring me.
8:39 – Aw, Alaric. Protecting Damon from the Big Bad Wolf… and Damon actually listening.
8:40 – How awesome is it that when Tyler begs Caroline to get out, she just holds him closer?
Matt who?
Wow, Tyler is freaking scary as he reaches the end of his transformation. With vampires, there's still such a human element of control – they can be calculated and graceful in their kills. With werewolves, the person is reduced to their animal instincts… and apparently vampires taste delicious.
I like that a lot of the transformation is in shadow, so there's not much CGI needed. It's better to show too little than to show too much and in this case, they've got a great performance to rely on, which makes the effects a nice bonus, but not necessary to have the right impact.
Caroline crying outside the doors is one of the best parts of this, too. She's crying because she's scared for herself and for Tyler.
8:48 – Oh, look, Rose is back. Zzzzzz. I'm not sure why I'm so uninterested in her character. I prefer my vampires with a motive and a purpose as opposed to just… kind of lost and wandering.
That werewolf attack scene would've been great – I love that they used an actual wolf in some shots – but after Tyler's c
ries of pain, Rose's endless scream just sounds kind of bored.
Two seconds ago Damon was telling Rose to hit the road, and now he's holding her and soothing her as she recovers from a wound that's… basically gone already? I don't get it.
8:50 – Oh, Luka isn't too pleased with being his father's little minion, is he? He's got an attitude.
8:51 – Back in the tomb, Katherine and Stefan are having the same conversation that they always have. "Prove to me that there's something inside of you that's actually worth trusting," Stefan says. But what, exactly, is she supposed to do? They're locked up underground. Frankly, I don't really want to see the human side of Katherine. As Elena learns to manipulate people for the sake of her own survival, she's becoming more like Katherine — we don't need Katherine to become more like Elena, too.
It's interesting that Katherine says Isobel found her… but Isobel says that it was Katherine who did the finding. "Genetic curiosity," I believe it was.
8:52 – "Good evening Katerina. Thank you for having the good sense to be frightened." Oh, I freaking love Elijah. Love.
So Stefan's out of the tomb. I can't help but feel like a great story opportunity was kind of wasted – I would have liked to see much more of Stefan and Katherine's manipulative mind games while he was trapped with her. She brings out a slightly darker side of him that's really interesting.
8:56 – Caroline is in the forest in fog with crows. Anyone else getting pilot flashbacks?
Thankfully, the night is over. Soundtrack junkie moment: Howie Day's "Longest Night" is highly appropriate, I think.
Tyler's broken voice when he says Caroline's name KILLS me. "You're okay" she says. "No," he says. "I'm not." More tears from me. He's supposed to go through this every month? I'm guessing we're going to see another Mystic Falls resident with a death wish. Yikes.
8:58 – What a great moment, where Elena sees Stefan's reflection in her window! It's another callback to the pilot, where she saw him through the window at the end of the night. His smile is adorable, too — Paul Wesley has been looking extra good lately.
I'm not sure their reunion is quite due yet, because everything that was unresolved when they broke up is still resolved… but I'm glad to see them smile for once. They've got enough to brood over without missing each other, too. Close your blinds, Elena! Dang.
9:00 – Damon and Rose… okay, okay, there's definitely chemistry here. Then again, Damon would have chemistry with a garage door, so we'll see where this goes… especially since her shoulder seems to have been infected with flesh-eating werewolf bacteria. Gross.
It's interesting that they chose to end the mid-season finale without a cliffhanger. Unless you consider Rose possibly dying a cliffhanger, which I don't, because I don't think anyone's too invested in her living at this point. If it had been Caroline with the werewolf bite, maybe, but I'm not too worried about Rose's life on the line.
Overall, this is one of my favorite episodes of the season. I like when the focus is taken off of the "triangle" a little bit — they can get exhausting with their back-and-forth. Even so, it's nice to see Stefan and Elena back together, and Damon is showing his softer side more than ever now.
I do wish we'd seen some follow up on the great moment between Matt, Caroline, and Tyler, but I realize that this wasn't the place. Poor Matt – now that Caroline and Tyler have been through this hell together, he doesn't stand a chance.
I knew Trevino would land the MVP for this episode, but I didn't think it'd be this good. That'll teach me to underestimate people! He's been arguably the most compelling cast member to watch this season, since last year we didn't know Tyler much at all. Tonight's episode only proved that he's got plenty more where that came from, especially when it comes to working with Candice Accola. Holy chemistry.
Your turn, vamp fans! I want to know your thoughts on EVERYTHING, so drop me a comment below.

I think that with Pink Floyd's Division Bell tour, which was so brilliantly documented on their Pulse DVD, the Roger Waters-less version of the band truly went out with a bang, and it really need not be resurrected in that form again. Now, if Waters and David Gilmour were able to set aside their differences long enough to allow for more than just a three-song set at Live 8, then that would be an entirely different story – I would give my right, um, kidney for tickets to that tour.
Last year both Waters and Gilmour each proved that they can still pull off one hell of an amazing non-Pink Floyd, Pink Floyd show. Waters' incredible "Dark Side Of The Moon in its entirety" world tour was considered by many, including myself, to showcase some of the most impressive concerts ever to be staged. Not to be outdone, Gilmour hit the road last year, primarily to promote his new On An Island album, which he performed in its entirety, but he also threw out plenty of mesmerizing Pink Floyd numbers to satisfy even the most ardent fans. So Waters and Gilmour have each proven that they can still deliver an amazing Floyd fix on their own, but, oh, how good it could be to mix that old fire and gasoline for just one more tour.
Remember That Night was filmed over three nights, May 29, 30 & 31, 2006, at London's Royal Albert Hall, during David Gilmour's short tour in support of his new On An Island album. This tour saw Gilmour backed by essentially the same core band members that joined him on the last Pink Floyd tour, with the biggest exception being Nick Mason missing from behind the drum kit. Pink Floyd keyboardist Richard Wright was the co-star of the tour.
Several guest stars also joined Gilmour on this tour, most notably David Crosby and Graham Nash, who also provided gorgeous backing vocals on the new album. David Bowie also takes the lead vocals on "Arnold Layne" and "Comfortably Numb" to close out one of the shows, making his performance of "Numb" the most unique version this side of Van Morrison's rendition during Water's The Wall – Live In Berlin. Legendary British prog/jazz musician Robert Wyatt also makes a guest appearance, playing the cornet during On An Island's "Then I Close My Eyes."
The show kicks off dramatically when the theater lights are doused and the familiar heartbeat rhythms of Dark Side Of The Moon's "Speak to Me" fill the air. As the stage lights begin to show signs of life, you can see shadows of band members taking their places on stage, just in time for Gilmour's opening lines of "Breeeeath….breath in the aaaair." A stunning performance of "Time" soon follows, as if Gilmour was intentionally competing with Waters for the most amazing DSOTM performance of the year. I thoroughly enjoyed seeing these songs performed so magnificently in such an intimate setting as the Royal Albert Hall – well, intimate when compared to Wembley Stadium and the like.
At this point Gilmour greets the crowd and tells them that he will be performing On An Island in its entirety, and he is met with warm applause. "Castellorizon" kicks off the album and features an extraordinary guitar solo from Gilmour before it eventually drifts into the hypnotic opening chords to the title track, "On An Island", which gets so beautifully elevated by the gorgeous harmony vocals of Crosby & Nash. Gilmour and Phil Manzanera trade masterful guitar solos at the beginning of the song and then Gilmour really takes it home during the second half as Crosby & Nash look on from the side with huge grins of amazement. If you are already a fan of On An Island, then you are likely to be blown away by this exceptional performance as it easily surpasses its studio counterpart. Those new to the album should certainly come away as fans.
As good as the On An Island performance was, most of the classic Floyd performances were even better. Oh, where do I begin? Well, how about the unique take on "Shine On You Crazy Diamond" which again features Crosby & Nash singing the chorus sections in a particularly clean and gentle manner, to match Gilmour's delicate guitar strums. Essentially the rest of the concert was one long highlight real, but the heroic 23-minute performance of "Echoes" was easily worth the price of admission by itself. For this and several other songs, most notably the "Comfortably Numb" climax, it looked as if Gilmour borrowed most of the Pink Floyd laser-light spectacular of old, and somehow managed to cram it into these smaller venues. The show looked extraordinary.
The production quality of this DVD package is second to none. Dolby Digital 5.1 surround and stereo audio tracks are provided and they both sound exceptional. The surround option was especially impressive as I had to look back over my shoulder a few times to make sure an audience member wasn't sitting there applauding from my living room. The concert was filmed in High Definition and the widescreen presentation looked amazing. David Mallet's camera direction should be used as a training video to teach other directors how to properly film a concert. He used the perfect balance of long, wide angle, shots of the entire stage to capture the spectacular light and laser show, while also offering an abundance of great close-ups of Gilmour's fretwork as he spewed forth all of those world renowned riffs.
The bonus features disk that is also included would have made a great buy in itself. It includes no less than 13 extra live performances, from various other venues, three fascinating documentaries, the music videos for "On An Island" and "Smile", and much more. The packaging comes as a tri-fold digipak, containing two DVDs and a 20-page color booklet.
David Gilmour's Remember That Night is easily of the best concert DVDs of the year – although I couldn't quite bring myself to give it the same 10 rating as Roger Waters' In the Flesh Live DVD. It is also easily one of the best bargains. The main feature alone is nearly two and one-half hours in duration, and then the bonus disk outdoes that. I almost feel guilty for the paltry price I paid for this thing – Best Buy was originally selling it for $11.99. Whatever price you have to pay for this DVD now, believe me when I say that it is well worth it.

Rock The Asphalt
Chalk up another one for the "you can't judge a book by its cover" crowd. Here I was, all stoked for Journeys Backyard BBQ, planning for an afternoon of yummy barbecue ribs and some "Don't Stop Believin'" sing-alongs in a park somewhere, but once again it seems as though they pulled the wool over my eyes. First off, it's in a parking lot (the north parking lot of Grapevine Mills Mall to be exact), not a yard. And, from what I remember, that parking lot doesn't have any grills, so I'm assuming it'll be pretty barbecue-free, and if that's not enough trickery for you, Journey isn't going to be there. But all of that's OK, because instead of '80s hits and yummy pork products, you'll be in for an afternoon of live music and demos from the Etnies skate, BMX and moto teams, including appearances by Ryan Sheckler, Joe Rich and local boy Morgan Wade. The day's fun starts at noon on Saturday, ending with a live performance by Aiden. Tickets are free. Find the full schedule of events at journeysbbq.com.

Are You A Hotel Marketing Dinosaur? 8 Ways To Avoid Extinction
by Dave Spector on Jun 24, 1:23 PM
My partner and I attended a fancy dinner at a major tourism conference recently. We were seated next to the GM and director of sales & marketing for a fairly large independent resort. When they asked about our company, we explained who we are and what we do.

140 Characters Of Fame
by Harvey Chipkin on Jun 17, 10:21 AM
Rainn Wilson, who played the quirky Dwight Schrute on "The Office" TW show, recently tweeted a number of caustic, okay vicious, comments about US Airways service because a connecting flight had left prior to departure time - causing the cast of the show to miss a scheduled appearance in Scranton, Pa., where the TV show takes place. Some of the tweets were pretty graphic, and I'll spare you those, but, clearly, somebody like Wilson has a tremendous number of followers and impact.

Right Reaction When Things Go Wrong Is Key
by Todd Wilson on Jun 10, 12:17 PM
Airline travel has become so common for many of us in business that we sometimes look on the airlines themselves like utilities - companies that provide an essential service that (with rare exceptions) we take for granted and don't acknowledge unless something goes wrong.

Cruise Industry Missing Positive PR Opportunities
by Allison Schroeder on Jun 6, 9:50 AM
People love a good PR disaster. As if there were a bright red beacon attached to your brand, a company can find itself attracting unwanted attention faster than a blink of an eye. As of late, the cruise industry has been under this kind of extreme scrutiny following a rash of public relations nightmares across a number of cruise lines.

- The Amish Blacksmith Great Stand Alone by Robin on 8/27/2014
Amish Blacksmith
Mindy Starns Clark and Susan Meissner
Book Summary: New from bestselling authors Mindy Starns Clark and Susan Meissner, The Amish Blacksmith (Book 2 in The Men of Lancaster County series) explores the men of an Amish community in Lancaster County, how their Amish beliefs play out in their unique roles, and the women who change their lives. Apprenticed blacksmith Jake Miller is skeptical of Priscilla Kinsinger's innate ability to soothe troubled horses, especially when he has own ideas on how to calm them. Six years earlier, Priscilla's mother died in an awful accident at home, and Priscilla's grief over losing her mother was so intense that she was sent to live with relatives in Indiana. She has just returned to Lancaster County. Not that her homecoming matters to Jake, who is interested in courting lighthearted Amanda Shetler. But Jake's boss is Priscilla's uncle, and when the man asks Jake to help his niece reconnect with community life, he has no choice but to do just that. Surprisingly, he finds himself slowly drawn to the beautiful but emotionally wounded Priscilla. Jake then determines to prove to her that it's not her fault her mother died, but what he discovers will challenge everything they both believe about the depth of love and the breadth of forgiveness.
Review: Enjoyed the majority of the book. I liked Jake and Priscilla, was never sold on Amanda. I did like all the secondary characters like Amos, Owen and the Kinsinger family along with the Miller family. Great sequel and yet a good stand alone book. The thing that I found slow was toward the end. A lot happened yet it seemed to move slower than the beginning and middle. Great ending with believable events throughout. Enjoyed the real faith that was included and scripture use. That was real nice to see slipped in the story with sincere warmth for the scripture picked and used.
I would like to thank Net Galley and Harvest House Publishers for allowing me to read and review this book in return for a free copy and I was never asked to write a favorable review by anyone.
- Visiting Amish Country by Maureen on 8/1/2014
I loved The Amish Blacksmith, I don't know much about horses, but I really came to appreciate these magnificent creatures of God. I loved some of the in-depth descriptions of the different breeds, which I never knew. I also learned about the feelings, just like I've seen in my dogs.
As the back of the book describes some of what you are going to read in this book, we see a lot of this through the eyes of Jake Miller, the young blacksmith apprentice. He knew Priscilla as a little girl, and found her charming, but he knew of the terrible tragedy that happened when she lost her parents.
Now Priscilla is back for a visit, she has a serious decision to make, and will as she states be returning to Indiana. You can feel an attraction between Jake and Priscilla, but then there is Amanda whom Jake is courting. These are very different relationships, and Jake's boss and Priscilla's Uncle has asked him to help his niece by introducing her around in their community,
There are some heart wrenching discoveries that happen in this story, and made me just keep turning the pages. I loved visiting this Amish Community, and spending time with these people. I even enjoyed the visit into the English area, even if they were wealthy, though that made it even more interesting.
Above all even with adversity and not knowing you were hiding a lot of pain, they put their trust and faith in God to lead their lives. A really great read, from beginning to end.
I received this book through Net Galley Reader Program and the Publisher Harvest House, and was not required to give a positive review.

Robin WIlliams: a personal best
So many great roles to choose from, but in an interview with the Reddit website a few months ago Robin Williams said that his favourite was when he played Oliver Sacks in Awakenings.
"It was a gift because I got to meet Sacks and explore the human brain from the inside out," Williams said of the neurologist, whose work with patients suffering from encephalitis lethargica inspired the 1990 film.
Robert de Niro was nominated for an Oscar for his portrayal of a patient. Williams said: "He is such a method actor that Sacks wanted to

This proposal describes my research training program for the development of an academic career as a physician-scientist. The scientific environment in which I will pursue my studies could not be better suited to support the work and assist me in becoming an outstanding sarcoma translational researcher. I joined the faculty at UTMDACC as an Assistant Professor (tenure track) in August, 2011. I was appointed to the Department of Surgical Oncology, with an emphasis on laboratory research (75% effort). I have chosen to accept the sarcoma challenge, focusing specifically on malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumors (MPNST). The essential lack of effective systemic treatment renders MPNST a particular challenge if we are to improve the grim prognosis for these patients. The main objectives of the current application are to determine the role of the tyrosine kinase receptor (TKR) AXL as a node of MPNST vulnerability and thus its potential as a target for therapeutic intervention. The mechanisms underlying ligand (GAS6)-independent AXL crosstalk with other MPNST relevant TKRs (specifically MET) will be evaluated. Knowing that cancer therapeutic resistance commonly emerges versus agents that inhibit single targets, and realizing that effective molecular therapies will most probably mandate simultaneous inhibition of multiple cellular nodes, we seek to identify co-targets that can be attacked in combination with AXL, resulting in enhanced efficacy. The study plan is designed so that Sub-Aims can be pursued in parallel with impact on each other, leading to additional studies likely to be conducted, both during the study period and thereafter as a platform for my future investigational agenda. Importantly, knowledge acquired will facilitate appropriate patient selection for treatment while enhancing development of effective strategies to maximize the efficacy of AXL inhibition-based therapies. The opportunity to carry out the studies outlined in this proposal will provide the training necessary for me to become an independent physician-scientist. This award, in combination with the support of my mentors, advisors and the resource-rich environment of UTMDACC, will provide the ideal vehicle for establishing my career and aiding me in becoming a successful laboratory investigator who is competitive for funding from national sources. This proposal presents a comprehensive plan to prepare me for an anticipated professional lifelong involvement in sarcoma research. My short term goals are to develop a deeper scientific grasp of signal transduction, targeted therapies, biostatistics/bioinformatics, and high-throughput methodologies such as reverse phase protein array (RPPA) and siRNA library screens. Midterm goals include attaining my own independent funding through a mechanism such as R01 or ACS grants, as well as developing my abilities to mentor and teach other trainees such that I can achieve my long term goal developing new approaches to the management and treatment of patients with MPNST, building on clinically relevant and translatable knowledge acquired through my laboratory investigations, culminating with my ultimately becoming the principal investigator of a sarcoma research laboratory.
Resource Sharing Plan(s) Our studies will provide insight into promising new approaches for treatment of a devastating 'orphan cancer'affecting young adults for which curative means are currently not available. A better understanding of the molecular deregulations driving MPNST will result from our studies and bioresources developed as part of this proposal will expand the limited tools currently available for MPNST investigations. Such resources will create a comprehensive foundation for my future studies and will be made available to other interested investigators.

Is Jennifer Aniston a pathetic cougar or a pathetic groupie? Or both?
If the former "Friends" star put as much effort into her film career as she has into following her new boy toy, singer John Mayer, around like a puppy while he's on tour in Europe and the states, she might actually have a film career.
Does she have nothing better to do than trot around with John Mayer to Amsterdam, around England, to St. Louis, to Milwaukee, taking photos of him while he performs onstage? This is soooo high school.
And now's he's making jokes about sleeping in his own bed, presumably meaning hers? Or theirs.
Anyway, here's John's tour sked (until Aug. 31) in case you want to know where Jennifer Aniston spent her summer vacation.
My advice: Jen, you're a grown woman. Stop following the baby rock star.
He's only gonna dump you when he meets a more famous blond babe and then you'll be publicly humiliated and don't say your fans didn't warn you. It'll be way worse than that Angelina Jolie raw deal.

Trust me, it's paradise.
... We did a fair bit of research before arriving in Koh Phi Phi to decide which tour to take and how to make the most of our time on the island. Maya bay is one of the main tourist attractions on Phi Phi and hundreds of thousands of visitors flock here every year. From listening to other people's experiences, we decided that we didn't want to visit the bay during the day as the tourist numbers are so high, people complain about overcrowding which ...
Koh Lanta to Ko Phi Phi
... It was definitely the most beautiful out of the islands we had visited and was how I had imagined our island hopping experiences to be like. We walked through the centre of the town over to the main beach and were directed up the beach struggling up with our big rucksacks on our backs whilst sunbathers us watched on when we stumbled upon the stones bar and hostel literally on the beach. We checked in met one of our room mates Maladin, a ...

At this point I thought I had hit that wall but I was wrong as that was yet to come! So after two very long hours we reach the top and cycle down at speed in 15 minutes. I stupidly thought the whole horrible experience was over only to find at the ...

... it was an hour hike to the summit so got prepared in leggings and trainers, safe to say it turned out to be a 10 minute walk up concrete steps and I felt like a right plonker at the top when everyone else arrived barefoot in shorts and bikinis straight from the beach......on that note since arriving in Phi Phi I have been overwhelmed by the amount of female bottoms on display. It is one thing to wear your thong bikini bottoms at the beach but it's another to walk around town ...

Grid Computing with 256 Windows Azure Worker Roles
Download this episode
In this interview I talk to Connected Systems MVP Alan Smith about using a lot of resources in Windows Azure. He shows a demo of using 256 cores to render images.
Rendering 3D ray-traced animations is a task that requires massive compute power. Creating a 256 node render farm that is capable of producing high definition high quality 3D animations would cost hundreds of thousands of dollars, and take months to provision. Creating this environment in Windows Azure costs around $30 per hour, and takes a few minutes to provision. In this session the power of Windows Azure Compute will be demonstrated live on stage, with the creation of a render farm using 256 worker roles to render a 3D animation creating using Windows Kinect, and a text-based ray-tracer. The principles used in the architecture of this solution can be applied to many other scenarios, and will be covered in detail, along with tips and advice for creating your own grid computing applications.

The Discussion
I have written a blog post with a description of the architecture of the 256-core ray tracer. Feel free to ping me if you have questions.
would be nice to see the jobs parallelized, but may be limited by the renderer you're using.
eventhough this example (256 worker roles, ~1 hour) would only equate to about 30$USD cost... any size studio would and does run 24/7 at times... this could be very cost prohibitive. I estimated this to be around 22K$ USD/mo. (?) that's really expensive.
Hi tswalker,
Yes, I agree. I think that ray-tracing technology has vastly improved since PolyRay was created in the mid 90's. The reason for using it was it was that it helped to launch my IT career.
The 256 roles for $30 / hour can really be applied to any task that requires heavy compute for a short time period, not just ray-tracing. The price does not compete with scenarios where you use the roles 24/7, but when you need that power for short time periods it makes the cloud look very attractive.
Great post, thanks Alan

Levi's recently hosted Frank Ocean as a guest performer at the commemorative 501, 140-year anniversary pre-Grammy party at Los Angeles's Ace Museum. The event was housed intimately, sharing a space with an installation showcasing the history of the 501 jean via nearly a century and a half of visual documentation. Vintage jeans from various eras were displayed tying in to significant cultural happenings of the time, illustrating how central the style is to American history – from Marlon Brando bringing attention to the 501 during the mid '50s and the acid wash craze of the '80s up to today, when Levi's released the timeless style in modern materials and colors. Frank's set was filled with crowd-pleasing tracks including "American Wedding," "Crack Rock" and "Pyramids," while attendees mingled with the likes of Tyler, the Creator, Alan Cumming, Macy Gray, Solange Knowles and more.

Is there any one out there that has PF?
My name is Larry - I have recently been diagnosed with Interstitial lung disease, which I think is the same thing. My condition improved when I quit taking statins. I started taking the statins after a heart attach about 8 years ago.
My shortness of breath and congestion are still there.
Have you found anything that helps or can relieve?
hi any one out there with this problem,? i have had for several years now, bad cough, now my right side started to hurt, doc gave a cat scan, it shows a spot on my lower left lung i have an appointment sep 5th at mayo hope they can figure this out i also have heart problems, two years ago open heart valve repalced now pace maker and diffib meds have caused some cough but changed and now little better should i worry about the spot ?? i fear it is cancer but they didnt say that ok thnaks.
want to find a place that has reserce for pulmonary fibrosis.And I can't sleep at night.
Good Morning! I have been diagnosed with Pulmonary Fibrosis and dealing with this is really wearing me out. Not getting any better and worried about the outcome.
My husband has IPF. he is on perfidenone 3 three times daily (9 in total). Next week he has appointment to discuss using Nintedanib instead. Would appreciate comments as to advantages (if there are any). Have read that Nintedanib blocks the effects of important proteins that tell the lung to make scar tissue.
Hi @pamelafrye1, welcome to Connect! I'm one of the community moderators here. We moved your post to this existing thread to connect you with people like @mairi, @powderpuf and @purplerod. They've all shared a little about their own experiences above.
@pamelafrye1 when were you diagnosed with Pulmonary Fibrosis (PF)? Do any of the treatment options seem to be helping?
Hi. About one month today, simply by examining the chest x-ray, my doctor told me that I had interstitial pulmonary fibrosis.I wonder if stem cells will soon work miracles. I have been searching the net for whatever new research has been done in this area and would certainly like to know more about this.
I was diagnosed with IPF 16 years ago. Since then I have only been taking acid reflux pills (2) per day. I work out in a gym 3 times/week and don't seem to lose my breath. When walking, I do. My doctor advises that I should take Esbriet but I am reluctant. My heart is strong and I sleep 7-8 hrs./night. I am at an impass as to what to do. I am 76. My symptoms increased slightly in 2013
Hello all! I'm new here because my father is awaiting a lung transplant due to IPF. We have the familiar version as my dad is the third generation to be diagnosed. I'm interested in participating in any conversations regarding IPF and lung transplants.
Welcome @hlweber1 and @muskiemama, I'm glad that you have connected with others who have IPF here on Connect.
As you both have family members awaiting lung transplant, I also wanted to make you aware of the recorded webinar we have about "Interstitial Lung Disease and Lung Transplant: What Patients Need to Know" You can watch it here https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/a-interstitial-lung-disease-and-lung-transplant-what-patients-need-to-know/ In the webinar, Mayo Clinic doctors Cassie Kennedy, M.D., Transplant Pulmonologist, and Teng Moua, M.D., Interstitial Lung Disease Clinic Director, discuss interstitial lung disease symptoms, diagnosis, and treatment options, including lung transplantation.
I'm also bringing @nancyligon and @kerchap into this discussion thread.
Heather - do you also have IPF? How concerned are you that you may have inherited it?
Muskiemamma - how is you husband doing? How are you?
@inspiration @hlweber1 @muskiemama @pd02 @powderpuf and everyone else sharing in the discussion about IPF. I thought you might be interested in joining us for a live video chat with a patient & his doctor 15 years after his lung transplant.
See more information here: https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/on-facebook-live-patient-surgeon-chat-15-years-post-lung-transplant/ Feel free to post your questions before the chat so Richard and Dr. Keller can consider them before the chat.
Thanks Colleen! We're striving for 15 years too ... my husband recieved a bilateral lung transplant yesterday, July 5. So thankful for the medical teams at Mayo and our hero, his donor.
I have IPF.
I first was diagnosed with pulmonary hypertension and in trying to find out what was causing that, they found it was IPF, So about 4 years since the beginning. Are you on oxygen yet?
Hi @oliver22, thanks for welcoming new member @loisblo.
Let me introduce you to a few other Connect member who have been talking about pulmonary fibrosis @nancyligon @pd02 @powderpuf @inspiration @muskiemama @chicoco @jvivian @mairi.

DIY Tank Stand for 29 Gallon
17 Attachment(s)
This is my new tank stand. Its made for my new Marineland Bio-Wheel LED Aquarium Kit 29 Gallon (Great Kit Dr. Foster and Smith). I have had this stand in the house for 3 days, and Im certifying Toddler and Teenager proof. Reed (my 3 year old with down syndrome) has been swinging off the top crown for 2 days waiting on some fish. He just didnt get the whole No-Fish Cycle. So we got a friend to donate some gravel and a filter from an established tank and threw in some starter fish. Hi-Fin and Neon Tetra.
This stand is 36x20 on the top deck. I have future visions of a DIY Tank, but the wife says its a project for down the road. The Marineland Kit is 32x12 is a little small on this stand. However, bigger is better when you have young ones in the house.
I built this thing in Sketchup 8 before I ever cut wood. It was my first time using Sketchup. If anyone wants the Sketchup file Id be happy to give it out. I work with some engineers that keep fish and told me it was over engineered. Meh . Im over cautious .
The top crown on this tank is heavily coated in polyurethane and sealed with a clear calking in the corners to prevent spillage from hitting the wifes carpet. Its all Home Depot 2x4, 1x4, and Luan Plywood. Used 2.5 coarse thread wood screws (full 5lb box). Finished with 220 sand paper, Red Mahogany Minwax stain, and a thin coat of Minwax Polyurethane.
I was thinking taht was alot of 2x4s for your size tank but better safe than sorry haha, stand looks nice and i hope your little guy enjoys the new hobby.
He loved it. He gets on a footstool and just stands there watching the fish. It's almost as fun to watch Reed watching the fish as it is to watch the fish themselves.

A security system to be made available in Britain in about two months has proved so successful in fighting car theft in America that car owners fitting it get a 35 per cent discount on their insurance premiums.
The device - called Lojack in the US, but which may have a different name over here - comprises a transmitter that can be fitted in any of 40 locations inside the car. If the vehicle is moved and the device is not disarmed, it emits a constant signal that can be picked up by a police receiver. The car can then be tracked and retrieved even if its ignition is switched off.
Lojack has already been endorsed by the Association of Chief Police Officers, and police forces around the country have been assessing its benefits.
The device will cost about pounds 300 to fit into a car. The head of the Met's Stolen Vehicles Squad, Detective Superintendent Robert Melrose, says: 'I have some doubts about your average car owner in Camden wanting to spend that sort of money.
'However, it will enable us to cut down on the professional car theft business because the signal can be picked up even when a vehicle is crated and ready to be shipped out of the country.'
From the thief's point of view there's very little point in stealing a car fitted with Lojack because even if the police do not have a car receiving the Lojack signal in the area when the car is stolen, it could take hours for the thieves to find the transmitter within the car, during which time it will continue to operate, giving police time to get a fix on its location.
For those who don't want to spend pounds 300 on Lojack, Philips is launching a new range of alarms and immobilisers, which it claims will stop false alarms.
The problem with most alarm systems is that they bathe the interior of the car with ultrasonic waves that trigger the alarm when broken, such as when a a window is smashed.
Unfortunately, the waves can also be disturbed by air forcing its way in through the car's air vents when heavy traffic passes, or if the temperature inside the car alters.
The Philips Tri-Sonics system is said to be more competent and senses not only air movement, but also the speed and mass of movement. It also adjusts to changes in temperature. The four alarms in the range, costing from pounds 70 to pounds 250, also feature engine immobilisers and a radio key that is aimed at beating 'grabbers'.
A grabber is a device about the size of a small paperback that copies infra red key codes. When you blip the infra red key at your car to switch the alarm off, the thief, parked nearby, will use the grabber to copy your code. He then follows you home and when your car is unattended he uses the grabber again to open the doors and deactivate the alarm.
The Tri-Sonics system beats the grabber by constantly changing the code so that although the thief may record the code you used the first time, that code will not necessarily be the same by the time you park it again.

À propos
Charity Factors Nepal (CFN) is non profitable, volunteering organization based in Nepal. We aims to appraisal the need assessment of Nepalese communities, design the short term program to bring positive changes and implement the design program through local and international volunteer's effort. CFN brings people together and share skills, creativity, learning and go with innovative approach in leadership development, agriculture, natural resource management, and community development. CFN provide sound environment to learn, research and show the creativity of people.
CFN categorizes its working strategies into two phases;
Energize and Empower Young People
People from different academic background and nationality are the target group of this organization. These people will encourage participating in CFN program; participated young people will acquire personal skills, managerial skills and diverse information on development issue and working procedures. CFN identify the interest of individual and enhance their potential. Similarly this program builds an inclusive environment to learn and disseminate knowledge and skills among each other.
Volunteering Activities
CFN identify the need assessment in agriculture, natural resource management and community development area and design the short term program to execute. The design program focuses the pilot project, community services, research and awareness. The participated people in CFN program will mobilize as a volunteer in various short term development programs. CFN volunteer will establish a relationship of trust by meeting and interacting with stakeholders in the community and with local government actors including government institutions and other NGOs. Likewise, CFN volunteers work with people to try out new idea; start small and stay practical to generate early enthusiasm. Similarly, the volunteers will support communities to formulate a vision of their own development building on a foundation of mobilizing local assets for development rather than depending primarily on external resources.

The market professionals have placed average price target of $104.65 on Kansas City Southern (NYSE:KSU) stock. This target, which is projected to be hit in 1-year, is totaled mean of analyst calls covered in First Call industry survey. Quarterly earnings is predicted at $1.27 a share and for fiscal it is $4.73.
Technical View
Kansas City Southern Common Sto technical analysis substantiates that Kansas City Southern Common Sto 50-day moving average is at $94.03, and it is trading $1.52 points away or +1.61% from its 50-day MA of $94.03. It is trading $2.91 or +3.14% away its 200-day moving average of $92.64. Kansas City Southern (NYSE:KSU) 52-week high is $100.69 and the 52-week low is $62.20.
If the stock moves $-5.14, it will upright hit a 52-week high. In episode of +53.62% plunge, a 52-week low is in scope.
Market price discounts all the factors that can impact securities price. It indicates the market price of a stock at any given point accurately shows all available information, so shows the fair value of the stock. This assumption is dependent on the concept the market price continuously reveals the sum total information of all market contributors.
Kansas City Southern (NYSE:KSU) P/E ratio came in at 20.79. The stock closed at $95.55 in last trading session, so current market cap is $10.32B.
John Templeton says to purchase bargains, meaning, buy equities when they trade at best value. When the index is at a low, shareholders discover the best bargains. More precisely, it indicates when the P/E ratio is low, investors experience strong returns by purchasing equities. Stocks should be sold into when P/E ratios are at higher end of scale. That makes perfect sense, as the stock value and the market rises when the P/E ratio increases. Purchasing when the P/E ratio of market is at a high level raises the peril that investors will witness negative return, while purchasing when the P/E ratio is low considerably increases the probability investors will experience lucrative returns in the succeeding years. Kansas City Southern (NYSE:KSU) PEG ratio is at 2.02.

The sense of smell plays an important role in our quality of life. However, the mechanisms governing the processing and representation of olfactory information in the brain are not well understood. In mammals, the olfactory bulb is a critical brain region responsible for the initial processing of olfactory information. Much of our current understanding of olfactory bulb function is based on previous studies using in vitro brain slices or acute preparations of anesthetized animals. While these approaches have provided valuable insight, much less is known about odor coding in awake, behaving animals. For example, what are the dynamics of odor representations in the same animal over long time scales (i.e. days, weeks, months) and how is odor coding in the olfactory bulb shaped by experience and learning in awake, behaving animals? To address these questions, we propose an experimental strategy using chronic 2-photon calcium imaging to study odor-evoked activity in the olfactory bulbs of awake mice.
Specific Aim 1 proposes the development of an approach for the selective expression of the genetically-encoded calcium indicator GCaMP3 in principal (mitral/tufted) cells or local interneurons using a Cre-dependent, adeno-associated virus system. We hypothesize that this approach will provide single cell resolution of action potential-dependent calcium signals in large populations of neural ensembles that can be imaged chronically in awake, head fixed mice.
Specific Aim 2 proposes imaging experiments to determine how odor-evoked responses of mitral cells and interneurons (granule cells) differ between the awake and anesthetized state. We will also use chronic imaging in awake animals to determine whether patterns of odor-evoked activity in neural ensembles are stable or dynamic over days of repeated testing. These experiments will provide new insight into the nature of odor coding in the awake brain.
Revealing how sensory information is processed and encoded by neural circuits is critical for understanding brain function. Here we propose a novel optical imaging approach to study how olfactory information is represented by large neuronal ensembles in awake mice.

Thanks for helping!
The food was good, we had seafood of course. The location is easy to find, right on Rt 1 and the Osprey cam was fun to watch.
A November trip to Maine almost ended without a terrific lobster roll, until a stop at Taste of Maine. This was the best lobster roll I've ever had, overflowing with fresh meat!! The bun was perfectly thick and well toasted. The fried oysters were also a huge hit. This is my new favorite seafood restaurant. Highly recommended!!
Our group had a buffet dinner here. We were put in the upstairs dining room. A special menu was prepared for us and it was simple. The food was edible but it all just lacked flavour really.
Despite the food being laid out and the servers only having to serve drinks at the table, it took forever to get our...
If you're like me, you want lobster without having to pick it our yourself. So they have a great dish, the "lazy lobster", 2 - 1.25lb lobsters with the meat picked out drenched in sauce ready to eat. This was ideal for me, and I ate most of it, with some local chowder of course.
I would certainly come back...
There was a large group of us, the 2 waitresses that took care of us did a very good job and the food arrived timely. They put us in a separate room which was nice. The portion of lobster mac n cheese was large and rich but light on lobster, the seafood alfredo was a large portion as well but...
I was there with a large group of people, and many of us had the buffet. There was a wide selection if items to choose from. There were spring rolls cut into small pieces that looked like sushi, but the spring roll wrapper was so dried out as to be inedible. There was plenty of various dishes from stuffed chicken,...
We were passing by this area, and my husband stopped on a whim. He noticed that there were a lot of cars parked out front, and after reviewing their menu and getting a positive recommendation from a diner who was leaving, we decided to change our plans and eat lunch here.
It could not have been a wiser decision. It...
Having eaten fantastic food at Ebenezer`s Brewpub in Brunswick, we decided to try a different restaurant to get a better idea of what the area had to offer. Although our food was quite good, it was nothing special and I would not return there.
We stopped for lunch not knowing what we would find but we were very surprised. They have a Sunday Buffet that we did not have but it looked like the 50+ people there were enjoying very much. We went on the menu & had a Reuben and a Grilled Chicken with artichock & Spinach dip dressing sandwich and I had...
Love stopping by for lunch or dinner when we are in Maine. Good food, great service and friendly staff. Can't wait for our next visit.

The International Bank of Bob is part comic memoir, part informative travel journal, and, because we are introduced to so many people, a little like a speed-dating session. Still the book's organizing principle is simple and humane: The author, Bob Harris, who has made many loans through the micro-?nance loan organization, Kiva.org, decides to travel the world get to know the recipients of his loans. Harris sees how these loans affect their lives, and to meet the volunteers and representatives of Kiva's partners in the field.
Before becoming a micro-financier, Harris reviewed the most sumptuous and expensive food, drink and accommodations available on the planet for ForbesTraveler.com. Among his assignments was a stay at the Burj Al Arab Hotel in Dubai where "the World's Most Expensive Cocktail," at a cost of $7,438, is whisky served in a gold tumbler. The hotel had a vending machine...
