This Privacy Policy covers the site's treatment of personal information that the site gathers when you are on the Site and when you use the site's services (the "Services"). This policy also covers the site's treatment of any personal information that the site's business partners share with the site.
This policy does not apply to the practices of third parties that the site does not own or control, or to individuals that the site does not employ or manage.
What Personal Information About Customers Does The site Collect?
Our primary goal in collecting personal information is to provide you with a friendly, customized, and efficient experience. We collect the following types of information from our users:
Information You Provide to Us
We receive and store any information you enter on the Site or provide to us in any other way. You can choose not to provide us with certain information, but then you may not be able to take advantage of many of our Site's features. The personal information you provide is used for such purposes as responding to your requests for certain services, customizing the content and advertising you see, and communicating with you about specials, surveys and new products and services.
In order for you to use our Site, you are not required to register; however, you must register to take advantage of certain features of the Site, such as entering contests and other information to appear on your MyPage and receiving e-mail newsletters from us. To register, you must provide your e-mail address, an username and a password. We may also request demographic information and unique identifiers in order to provide you with a more personalized service, but this information is optional. You may also provide us with your e-mail address to be notified when new merchandise is available on the Site. If you wish to purchase merchandise from our Site, you must disclose certain billing and shipping information to our third-party service providers, including your name, address and information about your method of payment.
Automatic Information
We receive and store certain types of information whenever you interact with us. The site automatically receives and records certain "traffic data" on our server logs from your browser including your IP address, site cookie information, and the page you requested. The site uses this traffic data to help diagnose problems with its server, analyze trends and administer the Site.
Generally, our service automatically collects usage information, such as the numbers and frequency of visitors to our Site and its components, similar to TV ratings that indicate how many people watched a particular show. This data is only used in the aggregate. This type of collective data enables us to figure out how often customers use parts of the Site, so we can make the Site appealing to as many users as possible.
In addition, we may provide statistical information, not information about you personally, to our partners about how our users, collectively, use our Site. We share this type of statistical data so that our partners also understand how often people use their areas and our Site, so that they, too, may provide you with an optimal web experience.

Heritage Queenstown
For families
For families
"I'm bored" are two words every parent dreads hearing. With the Heritage as your family accommodation, Queenstown has all the ingredients to keep boredom at bay with activities for kids' right at your doorstep.
Children are growing and learning and sometimes it's hard to find the time to get them away from the TV or computer. The range of Queenstown activities will ensure you and your children have fun as a family, but also enjoy unique and new experiences. In winter there are four renowned and family friendly ski fields in the district; however there is also a huge range of fulfilling and entertaining activities for families all year round when you choose a Queenstown holiday. Start with a thrilling experience of the great outdoors: a trip on the Shotover Jet through the steep canyons combined with a 4WD tour taking in amazing scenery including the Lord of the Rings sites, and including panning for gold.
The Gold Rush was key to the development of the district, and history still comes alive here for visitors. Children of all ages enjoy the opportunity to try on olden day clothing at the Lakes District Museum and be photographed to capture that memory for years to come. The Goldfields Park illustrates the rugged lives of those early settlers. The steam ship Earnslaw turned 100 in October 2012 and yet still travels across the lake each day, to Walter Peak where you can see the day to day workings of a genuine operational high country sheep station.
Nature is all around in Queenstown, and the underwater observatory never fails to give a close up experience with the fish of the Wakatipu. A short walk up the hill from town, the Kiwi Birdlife Park allows you to see NZ's unique legacy: rare birds which are not found anywhere else in the world.
Kids love adventure, so try the Ziptrek Ecotours, FunYaks, Skyline Luge, or for a rainy day "Rockatipu" –the indoor climbing wall where instructors will help your kids build strength and coordination while challenging themselves and most of all having fun. Crafty kids will love a session at the Bead Shop, while for a family expedition Outdoor Sports have bike rentals, or High Country Horses have guided horse treks, ensuring a truly fulfilling day out whatever your tastes.
By day feed the hungry hordes at Tham Nak Thai or Kappa, or for the best hot chocolates ever go to Patagonia. Later experience the Cow Pizza, the Lone Star or Bella Cucine Restaurants, or relax and stay in by the fire at Mackenzie's Restaurant. For something unique you can sip mocktails at the Icebar –where everything is made of ice and the warm gear is provided.
There are always plenty of great seasonal things to do, especially during school holidays. Just ask at front-desk to find out what's on, and remember -if you would like someone else to watch the kids so you can experience a Queenstown attraction by yourselves: they can help with that too.

Breaking: Donald Fehr Will Resign As Players' Union Head
Donald Fehr has led the MLB players union for some 26 years, and before March of next year, he'll step down.
Subject to approval by the union's executive board, he will be succeeded by union general counsel Michael Weiner, his longtime heir apparent. Weiner will head negotiations heading into the expiration of the current labor contract in December 2011.
"I have no hesitancy in recommending to the players that he be given the opportunity to do this job," Fehr said. ESPN.
Fehr has been a staunch advocate for the players, and a general thorn in ownerships' side. Thus, he's done his job well.
The best news in all of this? The next dude is named "Weiner." Score.

Firstly I'm going to explain the differences between Vanity Publishing and Self Publishing along with the reasons as to what can happen if you use the wrong publishing houses.
If you are a writer and have produced either short stories, poems or a manuscript then the thought of actually getting your works into print is the icing on the cake so to speak.
Saying "I am the Author of a book and it can be bought at this store" is a major achievement.
So how do you go about this?
There are two ways.
First one is the self-published route where there are several successful author's who have done this such as – The Celestine Prophecy, by James Redfield.
Second one is what is referred to as Vanity Publishing.
What is the difference between Vanity Publishing and Self-Publishing?
Every book that is either bought via a Bookstore or an online merchant must have an ISBN or (International Standard Book Number).
However, being the author and not the publisher is where you can go wrong.
When you self-publish your own material where you are the author then you are also the publisher.
The Dorrance Publishing scam claims are interesting because it is very easy to charge several thousand dollars to do this and that for you, then market the book and make all the money.
How easy is that?
Unfortunately there are a number of companies that claim to bring your written work to life, but what they are doing is becoming the publisher of your work and then you lose all rights to your work.
Numerous books have been made into films and other forms of media, and the royalties involved can be quite considerable. However, if you are not the publisher then all the royalties will go to the company that you used…a very disturbing fact.
Without being the publisher then the ISBN is not registered to you and you are at the mercy of what the Publishing House is willing to share with you.
To change this you have to protect your rights.
Vanity Publishing is where you have used a company to do this for you, and while some will do this correctly, it would appear that Dorrance Publishing have been extremely devious in how they have conducted their business.
The disturbing fact is that they will charge you a huge sum of money, and then make themselves the publisher of your work and the ISBN is now registered to them and not you!
This is game over for you and your work, and the only way to possibly get this reversed is to take legal action.
These type of companies such as Dorrance Publishing do charge a considerable sum but they use methods which can only be described as unscrupulous by listing enticing lines such as:
"you deserve to be printed"
"make your book available to 20,000 stores"
And so on…..
But here's the real sting in the tail…remember I said that you have to pay a considerable amount of money (this could be up to $11,000), well the reality is that normally Publishing Houses take this approach…
"No reputable Publisher charges you a fee to publish your work. The Publisher pays you, not the other way around. Depending on the type of book, you may be paid an advance plus royalties (a percentage of the profits) or just royalties."
The Dorrance Publishing scam claims are definitely something that you should be very aware of, and they are not the only ones that will do this to you.
Here is a list of additional Publishing Houses to be very aware of:
- AuthorHouse
- E-BookTime
- Infinity Publishing
- iUniverse
- Llumina Press
- Magic Valley Publishers
- Tate Publishing
- Xlibris
If you are still interested in publishing your own writings then I suggest you visit this site SPANnet as they can provide you with all the help and assistance you may need.

Next the bean sprouts - fresh crunchy sprouts, atop with fried shallots and spring onion and in light soy sauce. Nothing loud the flavours, a delicious dish and a hearty portion for one person.
The ice blended green beans just so good as a smooth thick smoothie without too much of sugar.
Well, not too bad a meal (RM17.10) and I won''t mind returning again.

Some games are undeniable classics. Noughts and Crosses, Tic-Tac-Toe, Connect 4, Four in a Line - whatever you happen to call the line-em-up game - there's a smart little app called Tic Stac Toe which adds a third dimension to the game. As if a flat, two-dimensional board wasn't taxing enough, this app will have your brain thinking in all possible directions.
Tic Stac Toe
- Format
- iOS
- Price
- Free | £0.69 for full, unlocked app
- Where
- iTunes
The goal of the game is to create a board-length line of your own colour/shape counters. It's as simple as that. Problem is, the turn-based set-up means that an opposing player's counter placement can, er, counter your plans of success.
Play alone against computer artificial intelligence, pass and play with someone in the same room, or set up an account, log in and play online against friends - there are plenty of options.
In three dimensions there are lots of possibilities to create a winning line: think about stacking counters on top of others for diagonal lines that either lie flat or rise vertically through any three-dimensional direction.
With so many blocks stacking up it can be tricky to see your opponent's line of attack. Here's where a single finger to the smart device's screen will help navigate the in-game camera to get a tailored, prefered view of the board. Pinch-to-resize can also come in handy.
In the free version of Tic Stac Toe - which is the no-frills version - there are 3x3 and 4x4 grid sizes with easy and medium difficulty computer AI settings, whereas the pay-for app adds in a 5x5 grid and a hard difficulty setting.
We found that even on medium difficulty the computer would frequently ruin us multiple games to one, although it can be scatty too, as occasionally it would leave obvious wins wide open a mere handful of moves into a game.
The free app is also stripped back to the bare essentials: the gameplay is all here, but there aren't different counter shapes and multiple backgrounds which can be unlocked or puchased via coins in the app's store. For that you can either earn coins against competitors online or buy them outright. We were happy enough just playing on the basic table without any background distractions.
That's all there is to it. A fun way to pass the time, although occasionally inaccurate counter placement will have you swearing at the screen.

Do you feel like you are doing your job with one hand tied behind your back? Are you frustrated by company practices that are horribly antiquated and inappropriate for the digital world? Does your boss or client fail to understand the unique characteristics of the web? If so, you are not alone. The majority of traditional businesses are struggling to adapt to the digital economy and need your help even if they don't realize it.
In his talk, Paul explains why this is, and what we (as the web community) can do about it. He highlights that to build a great website, we have to be the catalyst for organizational change and recommends ways to start make it happening.

Author(s): Vijay Govindarajan (VG) and Chris Trimble
Innovation is a two-part challenge. Part one is ideas; part two is execution.
To win, you have to succeed at both. Many companies, however, expend most or nearly all of their energies on part one. As such, they tend to produce a great many ideas on paper that never become anything more than … ideas on paper.
The most important message in Beyond the Idea is very simple: Part two, innovation execution, is its own unique discipline. It requires time, energy, and distinct thinking. Unfortunately, few companies treat it as such. In fact, few companies give it much thought at all.
This download offers Chapter 1, "The Other Side of Innovation."

* Chris Trimble teaches in the Leading Innovation: From Idea to Impact program, along with some of Tuck's premier faculty in the areas of strategy, innovation, organizational change, marketing, finance and leadership. Designed specifically for senior managers from established organizations who have responsibilities for innovation or who are leaders of innovation initiatives, the immersive five-day program provides participants with the practical frameworks to navigate the end-to-end innovation execution process.

Education Resources
Birds and Bird Conservation: Teaching Resources
The Brookline Bird Club is committed to promoting education about birds and bird conservation. The following websites, organizations, and books may be useful to K-12 teachers, in Massachusetts and beyond, who want to stimulate their students to learn about birds, preserve birds and their habitats, and, more generally, enjoy and respect the wonders of nature.
Web Sites with Resources and Materials for Teachers
The Massachusetts Audubon Society aims to "protect the nature of Massachusetts for people and wildlife." The many individual wildlife sanctuaries within Mass Audubon offer a wide variety of bird-oriented programs, classes, events, and camps for children and young birders. The Drumlin Farm sanctuary in Lincoln features an extensive Youth Birding program, K-8 environmental education programs, and a community preschool to introduce young children to birds and other wildlife. The Ipswich River sanctuary in Topsfield features summer "Nature Day" camps, "Sense of Wonder Walks" for children, and curriculum and professional development for teachers. The Joppa Flats Education Center in Newburyport offers a bird-banding program, a "natural classroom" on Plum Island, an "introduction to birds" field trip, and workshops for teachers. Check the Mass Audubon web site for programs and events at other sanctuaries throughout Massachusetts.
The National Audubon Society offers an environmental education program, "Audubon Adventures," developed for teachers and students in grades 3-5 and designed to meet Common Core Language Arts and Next Generation Science Standards while following the guidelines of the North American Association for Environmental Education. The Education section of the website includes an after-school activities guide, information on Audubon summer camps for children (with scholarships available from Wild Birds Unlimited), a "Just for Kids" page with activities about birds and other animals, Tips for Bringing Nature to the Classroom, and Tips for Teaching Outdoors. National Audubon also offers an intensive 6-day program of bird study for teens at Hog Island in Maine.
The Cornell Lab of Ornithology, a unit of Cornell University, provides materials to "advance the understanding of nature and to engage people of all ages in learning about birds and protecting the planet." The Lab offers workshops for teachers and a Home Study Course in Bird Biology. Its Macaulay Library sound and video archive includes more than 175,000 audio and 60,000 video recordings of birds and other animals. K-12 educational programs include: (1) Bird Sleuth: Students observe birds, conduct investigations, and can publish their research in Classroom BirdScope. (2) Crossing Boundaries: Students learn science and explore career possibilities through "technology-enhanced exploration of biodiversity conservation issues." (3) Celebrate Urban Birds: Students and community organizations observe birds and file reports to assess the value of green spaces for birds.
Environment for the Americas is a non-profit organization that "provides information and materials about birds, bird conservation, and bird education from Canada to South America." Their signature program is the International Migratory Bird Day. Educational resources include a database of bird-related teaching materials, a 4-day training course called Connecting People with Nature through Birds, virtual field trips, a Bird IQ test, a video on "Birding Basics for Kids," and an online forum for educators.
The Council for Environmental Education provides programs and services, including teacher training and materials, to "promote responsible stewardship of natural resources." Its "Flying Wild" program (www.flyingwild.org) "introduces students to bird conservation through standards-based classroom activities and environmental stewardship projects." The Council has also launched the Bird Education Network (www.birdeducation.org) to bring bird educators together, to exchange resources and teaching materials, and to develop "a national strategy for bird education."
The American Birding Association "provides leadership to birders by increasing their knowledge, skills, and enjoyment of birding." Its Young Birders programs include camps for teen birders, scholarships for birding camps and other events, an ABA Tropicbirds youth birding team that participates in "big day" competitions, and opportunities to participate in conservation projects such as Birder's Exchange.
The Fledging Birders Institute aims to bring the "joy and benefits of birding to our youth" in order to "promote their healthy development and bird conservation." Its programs include field trips for young birders, a Winter Bird Count for Kids, and the Schoolyard Birding Challenge. It also offers strategies for teachers "to bring birding into your class without compromising curriculum."
Project Wild, a wildlife-focused conservation education program for K-12 educators and their students, provides professional teaching training and curriculum materials to develop student knowledge of birds and other wildlife and to promote responsible behaviour and constructive action to preserve wildlife and the environment.
Boston Schoolyard Initiative is a collaborative effort to transform Boston's schoolyards and bring science and nature study outdoors. Its website includes design guides for outdoor classrooms and "Science in the Schoolyard" teaching resources.
The Gloucester-based Kestrel Educational Adventures aims to inspire "the protection of local natural habitats and a love for nature in young people through creative and playful environmental education." Its field programs include the study of bird habitats and migration within the context of local ecology, and it publishes "Exploring Natural Connections," a book and CD "featuring unique games and activities for educators." In collaboration with the Cuvilly Arts & Earth Center of Ipswich, it offers a summer field study program for 4th-7th graders.
The Urban Bird Sounds Project features "An Audio Guide to Urban Birds" written and narrated by students from the Codman Academy Charter Public School in Dorchester, Massachusetts. The web site provides free downloads of the audio guide along with teaching materials and handouts, as well as links to other bird education resources.
The Boston-based Urban Ecology Institute was formed to improve "the health of urban ecosystems through research, education, and community action." The Institute provides curriculum units on core environmental concepts, professional development for teachers, and a Field Studies program that gives students "opportunities to engage in real-world scientific inquiry." Though not focused specifically on birds, the curriculum units include Bird Bioacoustics and Bird Biodiversity, and the field work includes the study of birds within the context of urban ecology.
The Bird Education Alliance for Conservation, affiliated with Partners in Flight, is a recently formed coalition of educators "working to promote bird conservation education and to develop effective ways to implement bird conservation through education." The Alliance is in the process of developing a comprehensive plan for national bird education, and in October 2010 it hosted a "Power of Partnerships" conference in Plymouth, Massachusetts on Bird Conservation in the Northeast.
The Student Conservation Association "provides college and high school-aged members with hands-on conservation service opportunities." It facilitates internships and conservation crews across the country to "improve and conserve wildlife habitat." Though not focused exclusively on birds, the Association's internships include bird-oriented activities such as a shorebird conservation project on the Cape Cod National Seashore.
BirdStars.org is a consortium of leading bird organizations that collaborate on projects about bird watching and feeding, habitat improvement and conservation, and educational development.
David Williams, a 6th grade science teacher (now retired) and a director on the Brookline Bird Club board, developed this blog to "bring my science classroom into the student's home" and to provide information about subjects, including birds, his students study in class. The blog illustrates how one teacher incorporates birds and bird conservation into a science curriculum.

Struggling for quality scifi programming, I turned to Hulu.com and to my surprise they had the whole Babylon 5 series available online for free. While this is a worthy collection in any scifi geeks home, I still find the cost to be way overpriced. Thank the makes over at Hulu for having the great sense of bringing this series back to life for this fan.
For those who did not see this pilot which aired in the early part of 1993, Babylon 5: The Gathering does a great deal of setting up this universe, give hints to the background of the many races such as the Vorlons, Narns, Minbari, Centaris and of course, Humans. At this time, Star Trek: TNG was still on the air with a strong die hard following and with a spinoff Star Trek: Deep Space Nine which also centers itself on a space station. While I love Trek, Babylon 5 or B5 was vastly superior. This is not to say DS9 did not find its voice but the series really did not take off for me until Season 3 when Sisko shaved his head, grew a goatee and became Hawk from Spencer for Hire; but enough about Trek for now.
What was truly unique about the story structure of B5, over the course of the 5 years, was a story arc which built upon itself. Trek, sorry, had stand alone episodes which sometimes made references in future stories but B5 ran with multiple storylines with multiple characters and with a tremendous amount of backstory, one could only stand and applaud the vision and the scope this series achieved by one man; J. Michael Stracynzski. When I started to become serious with my writing, I remembered reading in my Writer's Digest Magazine, J. Michael's column since he focused more on screeenwriting. He had discussed his ideas for this series in many articles and became more and more impressed with his writing talents as he has almost written every single B5 episode. The exception to this were to two writers, D.C. Fontana and Peter David who associated with Star Trek; D.C. with the original Trek series and TNG and Peter with the Trek novels – Imzadi being many fans favorites. (Side note, Imzadi II sucked major… stuff.) With this great premise, great casting, and great writing, one could not have asked for a better series. Like Star Trek's opening 5 year mission opening monologue by Kirk, Commander Sinclair did his own version for the opening of B5:
It was the dawn of the third age of mankind, ten years after the Earth-Minbari War. The Babylon Project was a dream given form. Its goal: to prevent another war by creating a place where humans and aliens could work out their differences peacefully. It's a port of call, home away from home for diplomats, hustlers, entrepreneurs, and wanderers. Humans and aliens wrapped in two million, five hundred thousand tons of spinning metal, all alone in the night. It can be a dangerous place, but it's our last, best hope for peace. This is the story of the last of the Babylon stations. The year is 2258. The name of the place is Babylon 5.
Finally, when you watch an episode, I strongly advice you to check out The Babylon Podcast of at FarPoint Media for some great fan perspectives on each episode. Eventually, I would like to do a B5 podcast review but I would have to re-invest a great deal to time to see them again first. In the meantime, I'm happy to have B5 available in this scifi dry spell. My question to you, what are some of your favorite past scifi series which you would be willing to watch all over again?
Vodpod videos no longer available.

Netflix initially saw good selling activity after the sizeable miss to overseas customers and overall subscriber growth, however at the time of writing we are seeing more aggressive traders looking to buy with the stock down 15% in the after-hours.
Earnings in the coming session will largely centre on Goldman Sachs (GS) and Johnson and Johnson, with GS having rallied some 18% since 27 June amid a rally in the broader financial sector, so they will need to come out with some good numbers here. At an index level, the S&P 500 still looks bullish on the daily chart given the underlying trend, but if we focus on price action alone, there is certainly some indecision creeping in and I wouldn't be surprised to see a slight move back into the 2140 to 2135 area. Taking the timeframe in to the four-hour chart, it seems the index is happy to trade in a sideways consolidation pattern. So we will need to see good earnings, or the market is at risk of rolling over into my suspected target, given the lack of any tier one economic data to focus on this week.
The moves in US markets have set the ASX 200 up for an interesting open, with our call for 5470 (+12 points). I was clearly incorrect last week when I felt the risk-reward was against buying when the market had rallied for five consecutive days, but I certainly wasn't advocating shorting the market. This remains the case, as the technical set-up on the market is undoubtedly bullish on both the daily or weekly chart. In fact, I see real scope that we could see 5700 as a longer-term target, and a re-test of the mid-2015 and rising channel highs. However, with the market staring at a ninth straight day of gains, the risk is we do see a few participants offloading stock, but on current sentiment it seems likely that any pullbacks will be shallow and a buying opportunity.
Another issue has been volume, and if we focus on the $3.86 billion volume through the ASX 200 yesterday, this was well below the year's average of $5.8 billion and 33% below the 30-day average. Breadth has been good though and participation in the rally has been strong, but the pathetic volume going through the market is a concern and highlights some fatigue in the move.
There seems little to drive today, but traders will likely keep an eye on the Reserve Bank of Australia minutes at 11:30 AEST and the Chinese yuan (CNY) 'fixing' at 11:15 AEST. From a trading perspective, the AUD/USD is in a comfortable spot and happy to trade in a tight range of $0.7600 to $0.7580, so a break either side could set off a new short-term trading bias. I also think another move from the People's Bank of China (PBoC) today to weaken the CNY could start having a bigger impact on the market. With USD/JPY moving through ¥106.00, there is a chance we see the PBoC fix the CNY at the weakest level since October 2010.

July 17, 2014 -
Financial Services Committee Chairman Jeb Hensarling (R-TX) today made the following comments about the Senate's passage of legislation to reauthorize the Terrorism Risk Insurance Program without meaningful reforms. The Financial Services Committee passed a pro-reform bill – the TRIA Reform Act – on June 19:
"The House has passed dozens of jobs bills that the Senate has completely ignored, so I'm pleased to hear that the Senate is at least working today. While I appreciate the fact that the Senate has acted on TRIA, what's most important is to get this done right for hardworking taxpayers. Unfortunately, the Senate's bill is essentially a status quo bill that uses a phony Washington budget gimmick as a pay-for, meaning it can't even come to the House floor as written.
"I'm still committed to getting a bill passed, but it has become very clear this week that the process is going to take several more months before there is a resolution. We have a diverse Republican caucus in the House. We have some members who believe the reforms go too far and we also have a host of conservatives who feel the reforms don't go far enough. Washington is paying a lot of attention to one group's concerns, but not enough attention to the other's. That's got to change if any TRIA bill is going to pass.
"As this process goes forward over the next several months, I will be using that time to discuss with all members how to continue the program and also make reforms that improve our stewardship of Americans' hard-earned tax dollars."

The origin of Gregory Brown's music of 'Origin'By CHRIS BIERI
Special to the Union Leader November 08. 2017 1:08PM
Exeter native Gregory Brown composed DNA-based music that became a centerpiece for his brother Dan Brown's new book, "Origin."
Dan Brown , the Seacoast writer behind the bestseller "The DaVinci Code," returns with another tale of secrets, clues and the existential intersection of science and religion.
Bestselling writer Dan Brown discusses 'Origin'PORTSMOUTH — The Music Hall welcomes back the Seacoast's Dan Brown, the bestselling author of "The Da Vinci Code" and "Inferno," to discuss his latest book, "Origin," in a Writers on a New England Stage program at 7 p.m. Thursday.
In this latest chapter of intrigue and adventure, Harvard symbologist Robert Langdon is deciphering a world riddled with layers of existential questions. The lines between science and religion loop in a blur of a confusion one minute and tantalizingly clues the next.
"In keeping with his trademark style, Brown interweaves codes, symbols, science, religion, history, art and architecture with a decidedly fresh twist; the art is modern and the science taps into the coolest cutting-edge technology available today," according to the book's publisher Doubleday.
The book starts with the unveiling of a discovery that "will change the face of science" as we know it, hosted by Edmund Kirsh, one of protagonist and scholar Langdon's first students at Harvard. But the meticulously orchestrated evening, set in Bilbao, Spain, erupts into chaos, and Kirsch's precious discovery teeters on the brink of being lost forever. Langdon embarks on a perilous quest to locate the cryptic password that will unlock Kirsh's secret, which involves navigating dark corridors of hidden history and extreme religion and coming to terms with one of humankind's most enduring questions: Will God survive science?
Brown previously penned the No. 1 books "The DaVinci Code," "Inferno," "The Lost Symbols," "Angels and Demons," "Deception Point" and "Digital Fortress," several of which have been translated to blockbuster big-screen versions featuring actor Tom Hanks.
Tickets to Thursday's program at 28 Chestnut St. are $40-$42 and include a signed hardcover of "Origin."
The literary evening will include an author presentation followed by an on-stage interview with Virginia Prescott, host of New Hampshire Public Radio's "Word of Mouth." House band Dreadnaught will be play.

Gregory Brown is admittedly used to playing to a smaller crowd.
Not that the Exeter-born composer has had any shortage of success. His creations have been performed worldwide, including at Carnegie Hall's plush Weill Hall.
But his work is being exposed to an even larger audience — readers of the most recent book by his brother, bestselling author Dan Brown. Gregory's real-life composition "Missa Charles Darwin" became a point of inspiration in his brother's novel "Origin," now on store shelves.
Gregory Brown's music is just as intricate and engaging as one of his brother's gripping narratives. A traditional five-movement mass written for an unaccompanied male vocal quartet, the piece uses Charles Darwin's texts, including some from "On the Origin of Species," as lyrics. But Brown didn't stop there. He also used the DNA sequence of one of Darwin's finches to create part of the melody line.
The Phillips Exeter Academy graduate who now lives in western Massachusetts, talked to NH Weekend about the project.
How much have you and Dan been impacted by your parents in your respective career choices? It seems like their interests in math, music and religion have persisted with you two.
Our parents have had a huge effect on how my brother and I have become creative adults and also on how our creativity expresses itself.
For me it was largely through my dad's love of M. C. Escher's artwork with its amazing and inventive symmetry (and math-inspired constructions), coupled with the canonic works of Bach that my mother would play on the organ.
In our family the impulse to create and solve puzzles is everywhere. My mom and dad and I were always doing crossword puzzles, sometimes racing against each other, sometimes collaborating. Those puzzles and cryptic structures often show up in my work.
My religious experiences as a kid generally consisted of sitting with my mom at the organ during services, quietly watching. I later had some church jobs of my own and took joy in music-making and in supporting a group of people who made the time to come together to contemplate their place in the universe and in their communities.
What was the genesis of "Missa Charles Darwin?"
Craig Phillips, who sings bass for New York Polyphony, came to me with the idea. We talked about the texts for a couple of weeks, and then I dove into the work very quickly.
I sketched out a plan for the entire work and then set about working on the movements one by one. There was a lot of workshopping with the singers and subsequent revisions. The whole process lasted several months.
Is this the first time you and Dan have been able to work together on a project?
We always talk about our work with one another, but this is the first time that conversation has been quite so public. It's been a great thrill for me to be able to reach a larger audience and to be in conversation with his work in this way.
Dan told me in late spring last year that (the composition) had been an inspiration for him and that he was considering including it in the book. It was a complete surprise to me. It still hasn't entirely sunk in, if I'm honest. My audience is usually several orders of magnitude smaller.
Using the texts as lyrics is one thing, but transcribing DNA to introduce as part of a melody line is quite another. How did that evolve?
Using DNA was one of the earliest ideas I had. I needed something that would serve as a starting point and a central idea — something that could appear at various points in the work and bind it all together, musically and conceptually.
The actual translation of DNA to music is a simple process. It was harder to figure out which bird to use! I tried a handful of other finches first before I found one that created a melody that worked well with the text. One of the finches I had hoped would work was the Vampire Finch, but it just wouldn't work melodically. Once I had a melodic fragment that worked, I then had raw material that I could use elsewhere in the piece.
Was it a conscious decision to do a project so deeply dictated by biology and geology?
One of the reasons that the project appealed to me so immediately was its mixture of music and science ... It was a way for me to speak honestly about my passion for the form and for the great works that use this form so beautifully, while also speaking to my passion for science. Placing the two in the same room, so to speak, was a way to create a dialogue between the two.
Your recent project with Exeter poet Todd Hearon, "un/bodying/s," seems to be equally as intricate in its concept.
"Un/bodying/s" is a 30-minute cantata for 24-voice choir centered around the Quabbin Reservoir and former Swift River Valley in western Massachusetts (where areas were flooded to create a water source). The density and richness of Todd's text is so inviting to a composer, and I had a great time exploring the musical possibilities his text presents...
Any childhood memories from growing up in Exeter that spawned or fed some of your lifelong interests, music or otherwise?
I treasure having grown up as part of a community that had such amazing opportunities to experience the arts firsthand through concerts, theater and galleries. It made the idea of being a creative person seem like a possibility to me as a kid, and even though I didn't end up becoming a full-time creative person until much later in life, having the example of such great and pervasive art as a child ... was foundational.
I am a huge believer in the value of participation in the arts for young people. I was lucky to get good training in the Exeter public school system and through private lessons. The importance of early musical training has shown promise for fostering cognitive gains and flexibility in all areas of intellectual growth.

The PC anti-sex brigade has claimed another victim. Chicago Tribune columnist Bob Greene has been forced to resign – I would call it fired – for sleeping with an of-age teenage girl over ten years ago.
Whatever happened to sexual liberation? The Berkeley Free Sex (and Speech) Movement? Is the Anglosphere being taken over by prudes? And if so, where did they come from? They sure as hell weren't in the left when I was, back 30 years ago when everyone was bonking away like an Austin Powers at the Plato's Cave nightclub.

I'm trying to figure out an incompatibility issue between my Onkyo TX-NR676 and the new Channel Master Stream + device (CM 7600).
The receiver seems to work fine with Roku (Premiere) and an old Sony Blu-Ray player as they are connected with new hdmi cables. The video and sound come through just fine and then I have an hdmi out that connects to my Epson projector. I added a Channel Master Stream + which works fine by hdmi when it is directly connected to the projector. I get an alternating error message though when I connect the device (CM 7600) to the Onkyo receiver (NR676) through an hdmi in-port. The error messages that come through the projector screen are: 'Not Supported' and 'No Signal'
I have switched out hdmi cables and have used hdmi-in ports that I know are working (Roku, Blu-Ray, etc. are working fine).
I'm looking for ideas or a settings change or something as this doesn't make sense to me but I'm far from an expert on this topic. Thanks for any help/info/suggestions.
