FLOURISH... has been replaced with "this" instead of a rhyme, so either that's our answer, or our answer is a rhyming word to fit the Inspiration (BOORISH? NOURISH? I will stick with my seven-letter words theory until forcibly pried away, dang it. Very Happy ).

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
A rhyming dictionary says that MOORISH doesn't rhyme with FLOURISH, but rather BOORISH. So I vote for NOURISH.

Take "MIR" from the video, add it to the name of the first volunteer, "Amelia L. Gatwick", and anagram to get "calamari" and "gimlet" (food and drink) with "WIK" left over.

That has got to be it! :
WIK + ANABETH C LYONS = ABALONE + WHISKY + CNT
Not only food and drink, but seafood and alcoholic beverage.

 		Ok, mebbe not.
I keep thinking I'm close, but nothing works. There are lots of possibilities for the third name, but the only thing I've come up with for seafood and alcoholic drink is the unlikely "CEVICHE + ROBORANTS + NRT"

How we roared as driven thus doom planned. Be still, this sin we brand.
Now the Lord has given us room and we will flourish in the land.
-- I have to ask: How does one look up a Bible verse that way? For those of us without having read the whole book (or even those of us who have, but not recently) and simply recognizing the similarity, how might we have solved this? Not complaining (wouldn't be Christ-like), just impressed and wondering.

As for the answer, http://www.rhymezone.com/ agrees with you, and so do I.

"Driven thus doom" was what I used to break in; none of them have many rhymes, so "given us room" seemed like a strong guess. After that, I was able to puzzle out the beginning, and from there I had enough to do a search on the TNIV site.


Domino: Hm... "Annabeth" has two N's, though.

 		Today's DI:

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Hey, it's a DI DI! Laughing Every sentence has a word that can have DI stuck to the beginning to make a new word, as well as a synonym of that new word. Di-late (open), di-rectories (guides), and so on. (Admittedly, I'm not sure how the next-to-last sentence works; is there a synonym of "distill" I'm not seeing?) The last sentence tells us that our "answer" can take a DI- to become a word that means "military units"; my money's on VISIONS.

 		Hm. Nothing promising jumps out at me either. Lie and Wiles are both famous mathematicians, though I don't see any answer coming from that.

 		That it's "Eva" and not "Eve" made me wonder if this has something to do with the television show Desperate Housewives, on which Eva Longoria plays one of the main characters. I was hoping to find an actor on that show named Adam. No dice.

BUT, Nathan Fillion (of Firefly fame) played a recurring role on that show for a while -- Adam Mayfair. According to the recap of this episode (http://www.tv.com/desperate-housewives/the-game/episode/1138950/recap.html?tag=overview;recap -- and how do you embed links in a post here?!), Eva's character flirted with Adam. I don't see anything in there about Adam lying, but this is a prime time soap opera in which characters lie as easily as they breathe, so it's hardly impossible that he lies to her at some point.

And that all leads to the answer... um, I don't know. Mayfair?

 		"Eva" could easily be a typo for "Eve", particularly since the word "a" follows it. It's not like we haven't seen typos in the DIs before.

 		Building on Projectyl's observation, Eva Adam seems to be a mathematician who has written about algebra (like Lie and Wiles):

http://dml.cz/bitstream/handle/10338.dmlcz/107694/ArchMathRetro_035-1999-2_9.pdf

Could the answer be ALGEBRA? (7 letters)

 		don't know if i means anything at all but i found eva adams on myspace music... The profile looks normal enough except that it has a surprisingly small number of views. According to the only blog post, she is changing the bands name to 'fairy queen'... just found it interesting

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
'Fairy Queen was an adaptation of Midsummer Night's Dream... Is it possible that the answer is Titania? (7 Letters)

I might be totally off base here but I did find it interesting...

 		I'm siding with tinhorn here, ALGEBRA sounds pretty good, and I doubt that's a coincidence that all 3 are mathematicians. Pity I'm gonna miss tomorrow's WI Sad
