...imparted mostly through a snap of the wrist rather than via the fingers) and proving that slow bowlers can be just as aggressive and flamboyant as the fast men. In the years after Warne hit the big time, kids in backyards across the cricketing world stopped trying to fling the ball as fast as they could and began learning the subtler art of spin-bowling.

Ruckus routers use hardware and software that direct signals around obstacles, so that wireless works smoothly even in a large home, and even for video, for which stability and speed are vital...
...problems here. First of all, Tom Everett Scott, as the actor, doesn't for one moment convince us he's any manner of Hollywood star: no bearing, no ego, so nervous about his sexual encounter that he might be a middle-aged Neil Simon garment worker having his first fling with a hooker. The playwright (and director, Scott Ellis) want to be both naughty and cool. There's utterly no passion, not to mention plausibility, in this relationship. (Deadpan exchange: "Let's get started." "OK, I'll get aroused...
