Mmmmhh new iMacs
Well here's what I would like:
No more OD Antiglare glass this would be great Higher res display would be nice, but probably not until next year I would like to see a larger screen with higher res. Flash start up drive standard Better GPU and CPU of course Loose the chin, make it look like a thunderbolt display. I would like to see a new technology/design for the keyboard and mouse/trackpad. First of all black keys maybe? Why are the keys on the laptop black and on the separate keyboards white. Makes no real sense to me, anybody got a clue why this is? Two please come up with a better way of charging these things. Really AA batteries Apple come on. Come up with some sort of magsafe charge cable for your interface peripherals. What I would also like is for Apple to make some kind of thunderbolt hub, but that just if the have time left after putting my wish list in the next upgrade |

I prefer the aluminium look over plastic, but the designs seemed more cohesive back then. Why is the Mac range aluminium with black, but the standalone keyboards have white keys and the mice are white? Those accessories came out in the reign of the current aesthetic. |

http://www.hp.com/united-states/camp..._features.html If Apple does nothing with the iMac design, this will be an iMac killer. More beautiful, more upgradable, more serviceable, and comes with USB 3.0 (that Steve didn't like), a Blu-ray option ( "a bag of hurt"), IPS screen, Displayport (both in and out) and full size dimm ram. And the stand collapses. |

Mac Pro
MacPro and the like is the best desktop solution, and will always be, and Apple could've made it like an iMac easily, sell it like $2000 including monitor, use the "normal" components instead of godly heavenly Xeon, but in reality they keep their MacPro price sky high, hardware is outdated and most likely abandoned. But my point was doesn't mean it wouldn't sell well if Apple done something wise about MacPro. Headless iMac or consumer-grade MacPro would sell like crazy if it does exist.[/QUOTE]
Although I don't agree that the Mac Pro like desktop computer is the best solution for every one, I agree with you that they could come up with a far less expensive Mac pro if only they let go of the Xeon. They also need to give that puppy a desperate redesign. Yes it cools alright with the current design but I've seen machines that are so clogged up with dust it's a miracle that the damn things still work. If Apple does indeed kill the Mac pro which I don't think but if. I would like them to come up with a Thunderbolt hub/enclosure that would allow external GPU's or other audio/video cards for that matter to be hooked up to a thunderbolt port. But more importantly they need to start supporting these features. Currently if you connect an external GPU via a thunderbolt enclosure it doesn't work under Mac OSX. Or has this been fixed? |

Doesn't look too bad for a PC manufacturer. Either way, the principal of being easily upgradable is something which Apple could adopt easily.

Redesign? Just replace the 21 inch model with a 24 inch model, and use in this new 24 inch model 1 GB VRAM graphic cards and in all 27 inch models 2 GB VRAM cards. All 27 inch models should have 8 GB RAM (as standard).
Some other whiches: - also offer 128 GB and 512 GB SSDs - 3 and 4 TB HDD - 5 or 6 USB ports (ideally USB 3.0) - Bluetooth 4.0 EDIT: typo

Would be nice
Not going to happen. It's not the late 90's/early 2000's any more. My Blueberry iBook had a 3GB HDD I think. 3TB (that's 3000GB) and 4TB HDDs would be nice as options though Apple would charge a lot for them. With Ivy Bridge they should be using USB3 for the ports. Doubt they'd add more USB ports than what there is currently but could be wrong. The 09 Minis had more USB ports than the previous model. Would also be nice

Jury Still Out
Looking forward going from a pc to an iMac. Awaiting for the soon to be upgrade.
In my use, an OD is still practical along with a gloss screen. All the rumors seem to go in the opposite direction of my needs. If these rumors hold true, I will consider going with a late 2011 model unless the next iMacs leap in upgrades. I know I'm in the minority, but my video hobbie requires an OD. An external OD IMO defeats the purpose. My 2¢ |

Steve only did it on a machine designed to be ultra-mobile. The current Mac mini's were after his rule as active CEO. Even beside that, it was done on the Mac mini to allow dual-drive systems and/or the discrete GPU on the high-end. The only reason why it was necessary was that Apple wanted the Mac mini to stay mini, which it doesn't at all (and never has) need(ed) to. Plus, otherwise removing the disc drive from a desktop solely for the sake of doing it is stupid.
2. Any benefit to "for $999" is lost by "Thunderbolt accessories for..." 3. Most users of 27" iMacs need more storage than an SSD allows. For a dual-drive set-up, SSDs are rad. But as the only drive, even on a 27" iMac that's needlessly limiting. Quote:
Even as an Apple fanboy, I have to disagree. Furthermore, it's assertions like that one that make PC vs. Mac arguments entirely stupid. Quote:
Shouldn't matter on laptops either unless they're ultrabooks. The MacBook Pros as they stand now are plenty fast, plenty capable, plenty thin and the optical drive doesn't make the difference there where most firmly believe it does. Quote:
External superdrives are incovenient. Also dropbox only provides 2GB (unless you're telling me that I should shell out money per month, in which case, no sir), whereas DVDs still provide 4.7-8.5GB of space. Yeah, I think DVDs win here. It's called the future for a reason (that reason being that it hasn't happened yet). Quote:
The ODD doesn't prevent any of those things. Not on the MacBook Pro, not on the iMac. Both machines are plenty slim. The iMac is TOO slim for the parts that are already inside of it for heating reasons, optical disc drive being the least offensive of them all. If you remove the ODD, then instead of a 3.5" and a 2.5" drive at maximum, you have a 3.5" and two 2.5" drives, and I'm sure more people want an iMac with an ODD than an iMac with three drives. Really, if we're talking about how to cram more into the iMac, the logic of removing things from it is counter-intuitive, illogical, stupid, and just plain wrong. It's a desktop. I am to do lots of things with it and it is to have a lot more inside of itself than a laptop. The idea shouldn't be to remove features to maintain a sleek slim profile for no reason other than to look cool. I'm sorry, that's just stupid. And this is coming from a long-time Apple Fanboy, two-time iMac owner. I know what the **** I'm talking about.

Even if they only gave us ONE USB 3 port... it would be welcome. Apple has been ignoring USB3, but there are now some great applications for the upgrade.

Now, in a few months we'll all know what Apple want to do with its entire desktop line. If they get rid of MacPro, the iMac can't stay the same, it should become more professional with more hdd accessible bays, blade SSD for system/applications/work disk, and a model with high-end processors lga2011. Even a striped down MacPro with single high-end i7 or single Xeon processor under 2000$ could be ok.

I totally agree with this statement. Now if they could just get aesthetics to directly influence performance, and we got something. Personally, my beastly Antec 1200 is the best performing case I've ever found. But god, is it ugly.

Like all major companies, the primary mission is to set a feasible goal, thus formulate a business/marketing plan to support the new goal. I would not be surprised in the least if Apple is intentionally choosing to prevent internal upgrade components since this may slot in with their business plan. Yes, an upgradable machine is highly desirable, however this may conflict with their projected margins, not to mention that consumers would be able to purchase third party equipment to modify their machine. That equates to lost sales for Apple.
Additionally, with the level of innovation inherent within the tech industry, it is not entirely absurd for a company with an all-in-one machine to ensure that each release is optimized for the market in a way that the market has not yet been exposed. In other words, Apple releases a product in Q1 2011 that is not upgradeable. That product was, at the time, new technology that was highly desirable. If that product maintains its form and function, that allows Apple to produce a Q1 2012 product that is so much more impressive, relative to Q1 2011, that consumers will be persuaded to purchase the new release. It is great for us because we can continue to be blown away by Apple's innovation, but of course we are pressured to spend more money more often. Apple loves it because their margins are so massive! $100 billion in cash, NOT assets. It is a great business plan, but yes, it is frustrating. Hopes this helps people think outside the box. ---------- Quote:
Also, note that ML is "arriving this summer." Apple doesn't say when specifically because it restricts them to a release date. This way, Apple has more leeway and can arrange a release to occur in the most sensible way, both in a business sense and a marketing sense. My guess is the new OS is finished and they are waiting on Intel so that they can release an "all new" product for sometime in summer - which happens to be so vague that it could be in early June to Late August. In consumer driven business its all about setting yourself up for a plan B and a plan C without anyone ever knowing.

Fréhel (born Marguerite Boulc'h; 14 July 1891 – 3 February 1951) was a French singer and actress.
Born in Paris, France to a poor and dysfunctional Breton family, Marguerite Boulc'h was a child left to a life on the streets in the dark side of Paris. In her teens she got a break when she met one of the female music-hall performers who heard her sing and introduced her to show business promoters. She began performing under the stage name "Pervenche" and soon met and married Robert Hollard, a performer who used the nom de guerre "Roberty". Alcohol entered her life at an early age and her drinking became a problem for her husband. Their marriage did not last long and Boulc'h's husband left her for the Parisian singer, Damia. Fréhel then began a relationship with Maurice Chevalier but that too did not last long and after he left her for the much older megastar Mistinguett. The distraught girl, still only 19 years old, then attempted suicide.
Following her failed suicide attempt, in 1911 Marguerite Boulc'h tried to escape her pain and travelled to Bucharest, Turkey and then to Russia where she remained for more than ten years. Lost in a world of alcohol and drugs, she returned to Paris in 1923 to a shocked public that saw the wasted shadow of the singer they had known and loved. She then signalled a new beginning by switching to the stage name "Fréhel", taking the name from Cap Fréhel in Brittany where her parents had been born. Singing as Fréhel, at the Paris Olympia in 1924 she recaptured the former magic with a powerful performance and was soon headlining at the most popular venues in the country. Part of what is now referred to as the bal musette, Fréhel often sang accompanied by pipes and/or an accordion player.
In the 1930s, she appeared in several motion pictures, almost always portraying a singer in a minor or supporting role. The most notable films in which she performed were 1931's Cœur de Lilas, based on the Tristan Bernard play, and Pépé le Moko that starred Jean Gabin. While her alcohol abuse continued, she nevertheless was a major show business force of 1930s France. Of all her songs, her 1939 La Java Bleue, with music by Vincent Scotto, proved her most popular.
Despite being one of Europe's most sought after performers, her destructive addictions led to her dropping out of sight for years. She never found the love she had sought for so long and died in 1951, alone in a hotel in Pigalle. She was interred in the Cimetière de Pantin, near Paris.
Her 1934 recording Si tu n'étais pas là was featured in the 2001 soundtrack for the film Le Fabuleux Destin d'Amélie Poulain (Amélie).

lee three hole turret with 4 hole conversion
i see that midway has the lee classic 4 hloe turret for $105...they also have a 3 hole turret for $71 and a 4 hole conversion for $15...a total of $86
what advantages does the classic 4 hole have over buying the 3 hole and the conversion kit?....would i need a conversion kit for every set of dies?

Lee has two turret presses out there; the Classic Turret and the "non classic" turret. The Classic Turret is WAY better than the regular one, and it only comes in four hole.
It's worth the money. I never see anybody complain about the Classic Turret (I love mine). Such cannot be said for the other. |

The original Lee turret press has a full aluminum housing and is a very old design. It works, it's a decent tool, but it's definitely not the sturdiest press ever built.
The Classic turret is built on a cast iron base and is a much newer, much stronger design. Between the two, the Classic turret is a much better, much more sturdy design. It's really more of an upgrade than the price might indicate.
Attention Brass rats and other reloaders: I really need .327 Federal Magnum brass, no lot size too small. Tell me what caliber you need and I'll see what I have to swap. PM me and we'll discuss. |

Lets compare apples to apples here and leave out the oranges. Lee Precision has three turret presses. They have the three hole turret press with the MSRP of $99.00, the regular four hole turret press with an MSRP of $109.00, and the Classic Turret Press which retails for $146.00.
So, if you take a Lee three hole turret press and add the conversion kit (MSRP $20.00) you then you end up with the regular $109.00 four hole turret press. The Classic Turret press is the best of the bunch and well worth the additional cost. I believe this is the one Midway is offering for a good price. You will not get this press by buying the three hole and adding the four hole conversion kit. I personally recommend you buy the Classic Four Hole Turret Press. It is of significantly higher quality than the other two turret presses by Lee. I have never liked the auto indexing function on the Lee Turret Presses, and I disconnect this feature and do it manually. I load just as fast without it and with less aggravation. Just my personal opinion. Last edited by lamarw; June 3, 2011 at 07:38 PM. |

Performance of a Direct Sample Insertion System for the Inductively Coupled Plasma
Applied Spectroscopy, Vol. 40, Issue 3, pp. 386-393 (1986)
Acrobat PDF (742 KB)
A new design for a direct sample insertion system is presented. It is a mechanical system that allows precise movement of the sample cup into the ICP discharge and it can be readily attached to standard commercial ICP spectrometers. Good quantitative results can be obtained for volatile elements with reasonable precision and low detection limits with the use of 10 μL of solution or 10 mg of powdered samples.

Home Insurance Quotes
Ask the Home Insurance Expert
Is there a way I can insure my pit bull so that I will not be denied residency in an apartment complex with breed restrictions?
Like home insurance, renters insurance includes liability protection in case someone sues you for injuries or property damage that you, your family members or your pets cause. You might have to do some shopping around, though, to find an insurance company willing to sell you a policy that covers your dog for liability.
Some insurance companies refuse to write policies for certain breeds, including pit bulls, chow chows, German shepherds, Rottweilers or Siberian huskies. Other insurers make coverage decisions on a case-by-case basis, or charge higher premiums for certain breeds that have a reputation for biting. You could also find that an insurance company is willing to write a renters insurance policy for you, but excludes coverage for your dog.
Meanwhile, prevent aggressive behavior. If your dog bites someone, you'll have an even harder time finding liability coverage. Don't put your dog into situations where it will feel threatened or teased, and take your dog to obedience training with the goal of passing the canine good citizen test.
Buying renters insurance is a smart financial move. However, don't count on the insurance policy alone to sway an apartment manager to allow your dog if the complex rules clearly prohibit pit bulls.

This package provides a high-level R interface to data files written using Unidata's netCDF library (version 4 or earlier), which are binary data files that are portable across platforms and include metadata information in addition to the data sets. Using this package, netCDF files (either version 4 or "classic" version 3) can be opened and data sets read in easily. It is also easy to create new netCDF dimensions, variables, and files, in either version 3 or 4 format, and manipulate existing netCDF files. This package replaces the former ncdf package, which only worked with netcdf version 3 files. For various reasons the names of the functions have had to be changed from the names in the ncdf package. The old ncdf package is still available at the URL given below, if you need to have backward compatibility. It should be possible to have both the ncdf and ncdf4 packages installed simultaneously without a problem. However, the ncdf package does not provide an interface for netcdf version 4 files.

Posted: August 29, 2014
|A popular band will be performing at a scenic tourist spot this weekend.
The energetic One Million Fingers will be at Tittesworth Reservoir on Sunday (August 31) playing tunes outside the site's Visitor Centre in the afternoon.
The event is also set to include a barbecue which will be on offer from 12.30pm, while the band will pay from 1pm until 4pm.
Severn Trent Water ranger, Sarah Mountford, said: "This weekend we are celebrating summer with the live band 'One Million Fingers' and a barbecue.
"We are inviting visitors to come along and join the party. If you like a treat on a trip out, our cafe is open from 10am until 6pm and has delicious food and yummy homemade cakes, which are perfect for afternoon tea.
"There are also stunning walks around the reservoir, with our short 1.5 mile trail providing some spectacular views across to the Roaches.
"Tittesworth is teeming with wildlife, birds and butterflies, so children can learn about the environment as they explore."

Volleyball Results
Dordt College Women's Volleyball vs. College of Saint Mary
October 13, 2009
Game Media
(Omaha, Nebraska) The Dordt College Defender volleyball team used a strong team serving effort and a career night by Danae Geels at the net to overcome a sluggish start and score a 3-1 win over the College of Saint Mary Flames in Omaha, Nebraska, Tuesday night.
The Defenders were slow in starting the match and got behind 8-6 to the Flames after the score was tied 6-6 on a Brittany Landegent kill. Dordt never got closer than three after the Flames scored three in a row to make the difference 12-8. The Flames rolled to the win 25-18 for the set one win.
Set two was all Dordt as the Defenders pulled away from a 7-5 difference with kills by Geels and a rare kill by Dorinda Hibma from the back row. Kendra Potgeter got on a roll as well, getting three kills in a row at one point and put away the set winner to even the match with a 25-14 triumph in set two.
Set three was tight early with seven ties up to 13-13. Jessica De Stigter sandwiched two service aces around a College of Saint Mary hitting error and the margin stood up as Dordt went on to win 25-21, getting the set winner on Flames net violation. Set four was just as tight with ten ties up to the 12-12 mark and an eleventh tie at 18-18 when the Flames scored on back to back blocks after Dordt seemingly had control of the set at 18-14. Dordt scored back to back points on a Betsy Van't Hul kill and a Potgeter kill only to have the Flames cut the difference to on at both 20-19 and 21-20. Back to back kills by Geels put the Defenders up 23-20 and a Brandee Schaap ace ended it at 25-21.
Kendra Potgeter led Dordt with 16 kills while Geels had 13 kills on 18 attacks with no hitting errors for a .722 kill efficiency. Jana Van Zanten added ten kills and had 12 digs. Dorinda Hibma had a team high 14 digs and Jessica De Stigter and Cassie Huizenga had 23 assists each. De Stigter, Schaap and Briana Wubben all had two ace serves in Dordt's 20th win of the season.
Cara Fleishman, the lone senior on the College of Saint Mary roster, unofficially had 15 kills to lead the Midlands Collegiate Athletic Conference member.
Dordt is 20-7 and will host Doane and Nebraska Wesleyan this weekend while the Flames fall to 10-14 overall.

Approximately 14% of the 603 patients given entacapone in the double-blind, placebo-controlled trials discontinued treatment due to adverse events compared to 9% of the 400 patients who received placebo. The most frequent causes of discontinuation in decreasing order are: psychiatric reasons (2% vs. 1%), diarrhea (2% vs. 0%), dyskinesia/hyperkinesia (2% vs. 1%), nausea (2% vs. 1%), abdominal pain (1% vs. 0%), and aggravation of Parkinson's disease symptoms (1% vs. 1%).
Adverse Event Incidence in Controlled Clinical Studies of Entacapone
Table 5 lists treatment emergent adverse events that occurred in at least 1% of patients treated with entacapone participating in the double-blind, placebo-controlled studies and that were numerically more common in the entacapone group, compared to placebo. In these studies, either entacapone or placebo was added to carbidopa-levodopa (or benserazide-levodopa).

The prescriber should be aware that these figures cannot be used to predict the incidence of adverse events in the course of usual medical practice where patient characteristics and other factors differ from those that prevailed in the clinical studies. Similarly, the cited frequencies cannot be compared with figures obtained from other clinical investigations involving different treatments, uses, and investigators. The cited figures do, however, provide the prescriber with some basis for estimating the relative contribution of drug and nondrug factors to the adverse events observed in the population studied.
Effects of Gender and Age on Adverse Reactions
No differences were noted in the rate of adverse events attributable to entacapone alone by age or gender.
Drug Abuse And Dependence
Controlled substance class: Stalevo (carbidopa, levodopa and entacapone) ® (carbidopa, levodopa and entacapone) is not a controlled substance.
Physical and psychological dependence: Stalevo (carbidopa, levodopa and entacapone) ® has not been systematically studied, in animal or humans, for its potential for abuse, tolerance or physical dependence. In premarketing clinical experience, carbidopa-levodopa did not reveal any tendency for a withdrawal syndrome or any drug-seeking behavior. However, there are rare postmarketing reports of abuse and dependence of medications containing levodopa. In general, these reports consist of patients taking increasing doses of medication in order to achieve a euphoric state.
Read the Stalevo (carbidopa, levodopa and entacapone) Side Effects Center for a complete guide to possible side effects
Caution should be exercised when the following drugs are administered concomitantly with Stalevo (carbidopa, levodopa and entacapone) ® .
Anti-hypertensive agents: Symptomatic postural hypotension has occurred when carbidopa-levodopa was added to the treatment of patients receiving antihypertensive drugs. Therefore, when therapy with Stalevo (carbidopa, levodopa and entacapone) ® is started, dosage adjustment of the antihypertensive drug may be required.
MAO inhibitors: For patients receiving nonselective MAO inhibitors, see CONTRAINDICATIONS. Concomitant therapy with selegiline and carbidopa-levodopa may be associated with severe orthostatic hypotension not attributable to carbidopa-levodopa alone.
Tricyclic antidepressants: There have been rare reports of adverse reactions, including hypertension and dyskinesia, resulting from the concomitant use of tricyclic antidepressants and carbidopa-levodopa.
Dopamine D2 receptor antagonists (e.g., phenothiazines, butyrophenones, risperidone) and isoniazid: Dopamine D2 receptor antagonists (e.g., phenothiazines, butyrophenones, risperidone) and isoniazid may reduce the therapeutic effects of levodopa.
Phenytoin and papaverine: The beneficial effects of levodopa in Parkinson's disease have been reported to be reversed by phenytoin and papaverine. Patients taking these drugs with carbidopa-levodopa should be carefully observed for loss of therapeutic response.
Iron salts: Iron salts may reduce the bioavailability of levodopa, carbidopa and entacapone. The clinical relevance is unclear.
Metoclopramide: Although metoclopramide may increase the bioavailability of levodopa by increasing gastric emptying, metoclopramide may also adversely affect disease control by its dopamine receptor antagonistic properties.
Drugs known to interfere with biliary excretion, glucuronidation, and intestinal beta-glucuronidase (probenecid, cholestyramine, erythromycin, rifampicin, ampicillin and chloramphenicol): As most entacapone excretion is via the bile, caution should be exercised when drugs known to interfere with biliary excretion, glucuronidation, and intestinal beta-glucuronidase are given concurrently with entacapone. These include probenecid, cholestyramine, and some antibiotics (e.g., erythromycin, rifampicin, ampicillin and chloramphenicol).
Pyridoxine: Stalevo (carbidopa, levodopa and entacapone) ® can be given to patients receiving supplemental pyridoxine. Oral coadministration of 10-25 mg of pyridoxine hydrochloride (vitamin B6) with levodopa may reverse the effects of levodopa by increasing the rate of aromatic amino acid decarboxylation. Carbidopa inhibits this action of pyridoxine; therefore, Stalevo (carbidopa, levodopa and entacapone) ® can be given to patients receiving supplemental pyridoxine.
Effect of levodopa and carbidopa in Stalevo (carbidopa, levodopa and entacapone) ® on the metabolism of other drugs: Inhibition or induction effect of levodopa and carbidopa has not been investigated.
Effect of entacapone in Stalevo (carbidopa, levodopa and entacapone) ® on the metabolism of other drugs: Entacapone is unlikely to inhibit the metabolism of other drugs that are metabolized by major P450s including CYP1A2, CYP2A6, CYP2C9, CYP2C19, CYP2D6, CYP2E1 and CYP3A. In vitro studies of human CYP enzymes showed that entacapone inhibited the CYP enzymes 1A2, 2A6, 2C9, 2C19, 2D6, 2E1 and 3A only at very high concentrations (IC50 from 200 to over 1000 µM; an oral 200 mg dose achieves a highest level of approximately 5 µM in people); these enzymes would therefore not be expected to be inhibited in clinical use. However, no information is available regarding the induction effect from entacapone.
Drugs that are highly protein bound (such as warfarin, salicylic acid, phenylbutazone, and diazepam):
Levodopa is bound to plasma protein only to a minor extent (about 10%-30%).
Carbidopa is approximately 36% bound to plasma protein.
Entacapone is highly protein bound (98%). In vitro studies have shown no binding displacement between entacapone and other highly bound drugs, such as warfarin, salicylic acid, phenylbutazone, and diazepam.
Hormone Levels
Of the ingredients in Stalevo (carbidopa, levodopa and entacapone) ® , levodopa is known to depress prolactin secretion and increase growth hormone levels.

Babies be having babies, I'm talking 'bout how I grind
from Rick Ross – Pirates Lyrics on Genius
A baby is a half a ki, and if Ross can cook and flip a half to a whole — that's how he can make a baby have a baby. It's clear he's talking about cocaine because he's referencing how "how he grinds" — and we all know Ross raps about coke.
Could also be a reference to Terry Tate's 1989 hit "Babies Having Babies".

A risk worth taking?
When exceptionally handsome Dr. Ed Shackleton strides into the E.R. on his first day, Dr. Annie Brooks is left struggling to regain her racing heart! Men are off the menu for single mom Annie, but avoiding this brooding doc proves impossible .
With the fear of a hereditary illness hanging over him, Ed ruled out love a long ago. Yet a fling with Annie leaves him wanting much more. Can Annie convince Ed that true happiness is always worth the risk?
'Oh, my
' 'What?'
Annie looked up at Kate, registered the slack jaw and widening eyes, and started to turn her head.
'Don't look!' Kate hissed, dragging her eyes back to the notes.
'Don't look at what?'
'Total hottie heading this way. Absolute classic TDH. He can't possibly be our new SpR, we don't get that lucky.' Her eyes flicked up again briefly. 'OMG, he is gorgeous! I think I'm in love.'
She fanned herself theatrically with the notes, and Annie chuckled. TDH? OMG? 'You can't possibly be in love-'
'You wanna bet?' Kate sneaked another peek and her voice shifted up an octave. 'He's coming in! And he's got a stethoscope round his neck
Annie rolled her eyes and snatched the notes from her, just as the door behind her swung open.
'Hi. I heard the paeds trauma call. Want any help?'
Well, she had to look now. Apart from the fact that he was talking to them, that voice was-well, compelling went a short way towards describing it. Dark, molten chocolate, with a tiny kick of chilli that left a lingering warmth in its wake.
There was no way his body could match that voice. She turned her head, smile at the ready, and her breath hitched.
The voice didn't do him justice.
Neither had Kate, but then she'd been virtually incoherent. She'd been right to a point, though. Tall, dark and handsome for sure- and, yes, completely and utterly gorgeous, if you were into that type, but she wasn't. Not that she had a type any more, but if she did, it wouldn't be a man like this.
At all.
Broad, lean, toned, reeking of testosterone overlaid with fresh air and sunshine, everything about him screamed trouble! His slate-blue bedroom eyes were fringed with black lashes a mile long, and that lazy stride ate up the floor as he advanced towards them.
Her first instinct was to run, but then common sense intervened. He was a doctor, apparently, possibly their new registrar, and he was offering to help, and that made him definitely her type. The mind-numbingly gorgeous packaging didn't matter. What mattered was that he was here, on a day when their staffing levels were stretched to the limit, and frankly if he'd had two heads she'd welcome him with open arms. But-sheesh. Did he have to be quite so luscious?
She resisted the urge to fan herself with the notes a la Kate and found her voice from somewhere.
'Maybe. Don't know much about it yet. Child versus car, possible head injury, but that's all we have as yet. ETA any second.'
She stuck out her hand to him, determined to behave like a grown-up and not a hormonal teenager, and tilted her head way back to meet his eyes. 'I'm Annie Brooks, by the way,' she said, proud of her voice for not coming out like a demented squeak. 'I'm job-sharing with Andy Gallagher. And you are.?'
'Ah. Sorry. Ed Shackleton, James Slater's new specialist registrar,' he confirmed, those heavily lashed eyes the colour of storm clouds meeting hers and holding them. A warm, strong hand engulfed her own as that firm, chiselled mouth tilted into a smile, and everything inside her lurched.
Her pulse spiked, and she could feel heat spreading out from her hand, all the way up her arm, settling in the region of her locked-down diaphragm like a fireball.
And she was blushing.
No. Not a blush. A flush.
Worse, the heat from the fireball was spreading upwards now, creeping up her body towards her face.
Could he see it? Please, God, no-
Breathe, Annie!
The sound of the siren penetrated the swirling fog that was her brain, and she sucked in a breath and snatched her hand back, resisting the urge to wipe it on her scrubs, as if she could wipe away her reaction to his touch.
'Sounds like we might be in business. Are we ready?'
One look at Kate and it was clear that she was. Ready for anything their new SpR cared to throw at them-unlike her. She was blushing and flushing and generally getting in a dither. Oh, this was ridiculous
But Kate's sensible self was back in charge, thank goodness, and she nodded briskly. 'We're good to go.' 'Right.'
The sirens screamed to a halt, leaving a shocking silence, and her brain finally snapped back to life.
'OK, we're on. Let's go and find out what we've got.'
'Mind if I tag along?' he asked quietly. 'I'm Paeds trained.'
'Sure. Feel free. We can always use another pair of hands.'
She pushed the door out of the way, oddly desperate to escape the confines of Resus. She didn't do this-didn't get hot and flustered and all quivery inside.
Ever. At all. Men were firmly off her menu, now and into the hereafter. Maybe longer.
And Dr Gorgeous was definitely a man.
She took a deep breath and walked briskly out to the ambulance bay, deeply conscious of the man keeping pace by her side. The doors of the ambulance flew open, the steps flipped down and the doctor in her kicked in.
At last.
She forgot all about him, forgot everything except the sobbing child and the look of terror on the face of his mother as the paramedics who'd brought them in reeled off his stats and the treatment to date.
And as she nodded at the paramedic and smiled at the mother, she could see Ed scanning the child with his eyes, assessing him rapidly. Good. She turned her attention to the mother.
'Hi, I'm Annie, I'm a doctor, and this is Ed. We're going to be looking after your son. What's his name?'
'Cody,' his mother said unsteadily. 'Cody Phillips. Oh, please, help him.'
'We will.'
The calm, confident voice came from Ed, who was leaning over the trolley as they pushed it in, looking down at the boy. Cody's right eye was swollen shut, a blue stain under the skin of his temple and cheek, and he was sobbing, but Ed just smiled and held his hand as if it was all fine. 'Hi, Cody, I'm Ed. It's all right, you're in good hands. We've got you, mate. We'll soon make you feel better.'
The low, quiet voice was reassuring, and Annie felt the tension drain out of her. Kind as well as gorgeous. Now to check out his clinical skills to see if they matched up. He was certainly doing all right so far.
'You can lead if you like,' she said, and he nodded.
'Will you do the FAST scan, please?' 'Sure.'
Like a well-oiled machine, the team went into action, and gradually Annie felt herself relax.
He was good, she realised. More than that, he was very good. She stopped watching his every move, and concentrated on what she was doing.
'Results are through.'
He moved up behind her, so close she could feel the warmth coming off him. She forced herself to focus on the screen.
'Well, according to the report he's got no obvious brain injury and there certainly doesn't seem to be any sign of it, but he's got a fracture of the right orbit.'
Ed was looking over her shoulder at the MRI scan images, his head just in her line of sight, and he winced. 'Must have been quite a whack. I wonder if he'll end up with any loss of vision. The swelling could put a lot of pressure on that eye.' He leaned in closer, bringing him right up against her. 'Am I imagining it, or is the orbit slightly compressed?'
She shifted sideways a fraction. 'Possibly. What a shame. Poor little Cody.'
She turned but Ed was still right there, studying the images on the screen, his chest just inches from her nose. She sucked in a breath, but that was a mistake, because with the air came a faint trace of soap and red-blooded man.
'Want me to talk to the parents?' he asked, the tingle of chilli in that low, melting-chocolate voice setting fire to her nerve endings again.
'No, I'll do it,' she said briskly.
She ducked past him, and he followed her back to the child's side where Cody's parents were waiting anxiously for the verdict, his mother's eyes brimming with fear as she watched them approach.
It wasn't surprising. Cody's father had arrived shortly after the ambulance, and although they'd eliminated any other injuries in the last hour, this was the thing that was worrying them all the most and frankly this family needed some good news. Annie smiled at them reassuringly.
'OK, we've had a look at the report now and although he's got a facial fracture Cody doesn't have an obvious brain injury, which is great news-'
'So-he's all right?' his mother asked, hope replacing the fear.
'Well, nothing obvious has been detected in his brain,' she cautioned, 'but that doesn't mean he's out of the woods yet. He'll be a bit concussed and have a horrible headache anyway, but sometimes the brain swells after a bump like this so he'll need constant monitoring for the next few hours just in case, but they should be able to manage it if it happens. However, the fracture extends to his eye socket where his cheekbone's taken the impact, so he's certainly not unscathed. It's going to be sore and because of where it is, it might have implications for his sight.'
Her eyes widened, the fear back. A new fear this time, and she pressed her fingers to her mouth.
'He could go blind?' the father asked, his voice rough with emotion.
'I think that's unlikely, but it might alter his vision in that eye. They'll get the ophthalmic and maxillo-facial teams to have a really good look at it while he's in here, but it might take time for the swelling to go down before they can assess it fully. As soon as they have a bed he'll be transferred up to the paediatric intensive care unit, PICU, for monitoring and pain relief until they're happy with him, and then he'll be moved to a ward. They'll talk to you up there about his progress and what they're going to do, if anything. He'll probably be in here a couple of days, all being well, but so far we're cautiously optimistic that he'll make a full recovery. Children are very resilient.'
His mother's shoulders slumped-with relief? Worry? Guilt?
All of it. She knew all about a mother's guilt. She lived with it every working day, but needs must and so far the girls seemed well adjusted.
Which was more than she could say for herself at the moment. She'd just caught another whiff of Ed Shackleton's special blend of soap and pheromones, and she had to force herself to concentrate on talking to Cody's parents.
'I'll chase up PICU,' Kate was saying, and she nodded.
'Thanks. Right, I'm just going to update the notes, and as soon as they've got a bed free, we'll be moving him. You'll be able to stay with him overnight.'
His mother nodded, and Annie stepped away from them, grabbed the notes and moved to the side to write them up.
Behind her she could hear Ed's voice murmuring to the parents, answering their endless questions with sensibly noncommittal answers.
He'd been amazing. Calm, steady, gentle, soothing the distressed child with a competence that usually came with years of practice.
He was probably a father. Almost inevitably. Someone was bound to have snapped him up, he was far too good to be on the shelf.
Unless he was a player, but he didn't seem the type. Far too wholesome and straightforward. Until the lights went out?
It was none of her business, she reminded herself crossly. And in any case she wasn't interested.
At all!
So this was Annie Brooks.
He glanced across at her, writing up the notes while Kate kept an eye on Cody's monitor and pottered quietly in the background.
Her back was to him, which meant he could study her without detection. She wasn't short, but she certainly wasn't tall. Her head would tuck easily under his chin. And her body was-well, just a body. Nothing out of the ordinary. She wasn't fat, she wasn't thin, she was just. womanly, he thought with interest. Feminine. Her curves were in all the right places, and she moved with grace.
Except when she was rattled. Then she moved awkwardly, self-consciously. He found that interesting, too.
Her mid-brown hair was twisted up in a clip at the back, out of the way. A strand had escaped, and she was fiddling with it, one finger twirling the little curl round and round.
It was a curiously innocent gesture, utterly unconscious, the sort of thing people did when they were concentrating hard, and he found it strangely touching.
James had told him about her. He'd said she was competent, kind and easy to work with, but he was sure that underneath the surface there was much, much more to her than that.
Unlike Kate.
There were hundreds of girls like Kate, nice girls, pretty girls, girls who made it clear with every glance that they were available, but Annie
Annie intrigued him. For a moment there, right at the beginning, he'd had his doubts about her. She'd seemed ruffled by his arrival, somehow, distracted and unfocused, but then the ambulance had arrived and she'd changed.
It was as if she'd engaged a different gear, and it had all settled down. She'd become everything that James had told him she was, and he began to think he'd imagined that sizzle of awareness.
Until their glances had met again. For a fleeting moment the forget-me-not blue of her eyes had locked with his, and then it had been back, whatever 'it' was. Some crazy pull between them, like kissing dolls, the magnetic attraction drawing them inexorably together.
And she seemed to resent it, to pull back from it as if it was unwelcome, turning her head and carrying on as if nothing had happened, but it had, and she'd dismissed it.
He felt a twinge of regret. A little light relief to take his mind off the coming months of family trauma and upheaval might have been welcome, but it probably wasn't sensible. He had nothing to offer, he wasn't here for long and anyway it was never a good idea to muddy the waters with someone you worked with.
Kate, for instance. She'd made it blindingly obvious she was up for anything he might suggest, but anyway, even if he found her attractive, which he didn't except in the most superficial and basic way, the same principle applied-
'PICU are ready for him.'
He nodded at Kate and switched his eyes to Annie.
'All done. Kate, will you go with him, please?'
She slapped the notes shut, put them on the trolley, shook hands with the parents and the two of them watched as Cody was whisked away.
'Poor little boy. He's going to have a cracking headache for a few days,' he said softly.
Annie nodded. 'Let's hope that's all. Good teamwork, by the way. Thank you.'
'My pleasure. Thank you for letting me join you.'
Annie flashed him a quick acknowledging glance, the first time she'd met his eyes for a while now. Well, since that time, when he'd felt that sizzle of awareness again.
But there was no awareness now that he could see, and her voice was brisk and businesslike.
'You're welcome. It's nice to know we've got someone on the team with Paeds training. You can never have too many. Right, I need to go and chase up some tests,' she said, and he could have sworn she was running away.
From him? Surely not. He hadn't given her any reason to feel threatened or harassed in any way.
So why was he so much of a threat to her?
Posted March 2, 2014
Risk of a Lifetime is a shorter book. There are a lot of sex scenes that I skipped over. It deals with some serious issues.
The drama was real good. Lot of abbreviations some I knew others just had to guess on.
A good looking new Doctor showed up to work in their hospital. He is dealing with some serious issues with his family. Ed. plans to never fall in love and have a family. He finds himself attracted to Dr. Annie Brooks.
Annie Brooks has three year old twin girls. She lives with her mom. Her mother baby sits while Annie works. The father is not in the picture.
Ed propose that they be friends with benefits. No one has to know about them. They plan to keep their families from knowing about each other except for being co-workers. Annie agrees the idea of having some me time sounds good. Of course things don't go as planned.
Ed has moved back to his home town to help his grandma take care of his grandfather. He could have the same disease in his genes. Ed had gotten tested but never got the results. He plans to make sure he does not pass the gene down to any child.
Except for all the sex scenes I enjoyed reading the book. I wonder what would I do if I knew I would pass down a disease that would harm my children. Some tough personal choices that Ed and his family are going through.
Sometimes knowing what you might get or not get can make decisions easier but other times it can make it harder on everyone.
I was given this ebook to read and in return asked to give honest review of it by Netgalley and Harlequin.

B Movie Actresses Biography
One of the leading sex symbols of the 1950's 1960's and movie and B movie actress, Jayne Mansfield was born in Pennsylvania on Wednesday, 19 April 1933 and as a child she was a talented pianist and violin player. She moved to Dallas, Texas, after the death of her father at age 3 and the family bought a little home where she had violin concerts in the driveway of their home. Amazingly her IQ was reported to be a 163 and she attended the University of Dallas and participated in little-theatre productions. In 1949 at age 16 she married a man 8 years her senior named Paul Mansfield the next year when Jayne Mansfield was 17 the two had a child named Jayne Marie Mansfield. She landed a small but sexy role in Pete Kelly's Blues (1955), which led to roles that were more prominent in several ways also when she started her movie career she played in movies with popular actors and actresses to help kick start her movie career. A job in the Broadway production of "Will Success Spoil Rock Hunter?" brought her a good deal of attention for her scantily clad appearance, and she repeated the role in the film version with CoStar Tony Randall (A actor who would later on CoStar in a movie with Marilyn Monroe in 1960 called "Let's Make Love"). Her high-pitched squeal of delight and the studied ease with which she flaunted her more than obvious pulchritude led to a succession of roles as sex kittens and dumb blonde bombshells. She occasionally appeared in films of some quality, but though she apparently aspired to respectability as an actress, her public persona was too extreme to be taken seriously, and she became a sort of poor man's 'Marilyn Monroe' or as the backup or second star for Marilyn Monroe, without the vulnerability and ability that Monroe possessed also the popular movie studios did not think she was that much of a dumb blonde because she knew her movies lines easily. In the early 1960's she began affairs with many famous individuals like 35th President JFK and his younger brother RFK. By the 1960s Mansfield's career had options that grew lower. She made somewhat embarrassing guest appearances like on the 1950's popular game show "What's My Line?" she appeared on the show 4 times 1956, 1957, 1964, and 1966 and many other 1950's and 1960's game shows also by 1962 she was dropped from 20th Century Fox and the rest of her career had smaller options like being in B movies and low budget movies or performing at food stores or small nightclubs. While traveling from a nightclub in Biloxi, Mississippi and 30 miles from New Orleans to where she was to be on television the following day was killed instantly on Highway 90 in a car crash in the early hours of Thurday 29 June 1967, when the car in which she was riding in slammed into the back of a semi-tractor trailer truck that had stopped due to a truck in front the tractor trailer was spraying for bugs and the car which she was riding in went under the truck at nearly 80 miles per hour along with boyfriend Samuel Brody and their driver Ronnie Harrison she was only 34 years old at the time. The damage to the car was so bad that the engine was twisted side ways. Rumors began that Mansfield was decapitated began when the photographers and police found her platinum blonde wig on the dashboard of the car and they saw that and just took of with that which is highly untrue as her first child Jayne Marie Mansfield claims and it was a false report. Mansfield's funeral was on July 3, 1967 which was a small ceremony which her family, first child, and second husband Mickey Hargitay attended the same place in Pen Argyl, Pennsylvania where her father was buried. Today Jayne Mansfield's fame lives on in the success of her best movies, her documentary film appearances, her 22 television show appearances, and in the career of her 4th child actress Mariska Hargitay who plays on a popular NBC and NYC crime show Law & Order SVU her role is Olivia Benson.

Craig Groeschel
Craig Groeschel | |
Born | Houston, Texas |
December 2, 1967
Occupation | Minister, Author, Speaker |
Nationality | American |
Subject | Leadership Christian Growth |
Craig Groeschel (born December 2, 1967) is the founder and senior pastor of LifeChurch.tv which is considered the second largest church in the United States[1] and has nineteen locations in five states. He is married with six children and lives in Edmond, Oklahoma, a suburb of Oklahoma City, where LifeChurch.tv is based.[2]
Personal life[edit]
Groeschel was born in Houston, Texas and grew up in southern Oklahoma, attending Ardmore High School. After high school, he attended Oklahoma City University on an athletic scholarship and was a member of the Lambda Chi Alpha fraternity and received a Bachelor's degree in Marketing. Shortly thereafter, he met his wife Amy and the two married in 1991. That same year, Groeschel entered the ministry as an associate pastor in the United Methodist Church. He attended Phillips Theological Seminary, which is affiliated with the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) and earned a Master of Divinity degree. He was an associate pastor at First United Methodist Church in Oklahoma City during the 1995 Oklahoma City Bombing.[3][4]
Pastoral career[edit]
In 1996, Groeschel and a handful of people started Life Covenant Church in a two-car garage. He later told Business Week that he started the process by performing market research of non-churchgoers and designed his church in response to what he learned.[5] Groeschel's non-traditional style was successful and attendance of Life Covenant grew rapidly, eventually evolving to become (as of April 2013) the second largest church in the United States with fifteen LifeChurch.tv campuses.[6] Groeschel began using video to deliver some of sermons, when his fourth child was born in 2001 and he was unavailable for the Sunday service, discovering that the videos were popular with his churchgoers.[7][8] In 2006 he set up a website called Mysecret.tv as a place for people to confess anonymously on the Internet.[9][10] Groeschel also began delivering his services to the Second Life virtual world on Easter Sunday 2007.[11]
LifeChurch.tv was named America's Most Innovative Church by Outreach Magazine in 2007[12][13] and 2008.[14] LifeChurch.tv innovations include its free resource library with sermons, transcripts, videos, artwork,[15] and a digerati team that develops free software like ChurchOnlinePlatform.com and YouVersion the Bible app, which has been downloaded over 165 million times.[16]

(Tragedy, Greek, 415 BCE, 1,332 lines)
The Trojan Women (Gr: Troðdes) is a tragedy by the ancient Greek playwright Euripides. It was first presented at the City Dionysia of 415 BCE, along with two other unconnected tragedies, Alexandros and Palamedes, and the comedic satyr play Sisyphos, all of which have since been lost to antiquity. It follows the fates of Hecuba, Andromache, Cassandra and the other women of Troy after their city has been sacked, their husbands killed, and their remaining families about to be taken away as slaves (it runs parallel to the events in Euripides play Hecuba). It is often considered one of Euripides greatest works, and among the best anti-war plays ever written.
As the dawn comes, the dethroned Trojan queen Hecuba awakens in the Greek camp to mourn her tragic fate and curse Helen as the cause, and the Chorus of captive Trojan women echoes her cries. The Greek herald Talthybius arrives to tell Hecuba what will befall her and her children: Hecuba herself is to be taken away as a slave of the hated Greek general Odysseus, and her daughter Cassandra is to become the conquering general Agamemnon's concubine. Cassandra (who has been driven partially mad due to a curse under which she can see the future but will never be believed when she warns others), appears morbidly pleased with this news as she foresees that, when they arrive in Argos, her new master's embittered wife Clytemnestra will kill both her and Agamemnon, although because of the curse no-one understands this response, and Cassandra is carried away to her fate. Hecubas daughter-in-law Andromache arrives with her baby son, Astyanax and confirms the news, hinted at earlier by Talthybius, that Hecubas youngest daughter, Polyxena, has been killed as a sacrifice at the tomb of the Greek warrior Achilles (the subject of Euripides play Hecuba). Andromache's own lot is to become the concubine of Achilles' son, Neoptolemus, and Hecuba counsels her to honour her new lord in the hope that she may be permitted to rear Astyanax as a future saviour of Troy. However, as though to crush these pitiful hopes, Talthybius arrives and reluctantly informs her that Astyanax has been condemned to be thrown from the battlements of Troy to his death, rather than risk the boy growing up to avenge his father, Hector. He warns further that if Andromache tries to cast a curse on the Greek ships, then the baby will be allowed no burial. Andromache, cursing Helen for causing the war in the first place, is taken away to the Greek ships, while a soldier bears the child away to his death. The Spartan king Menelaus enters and protests to the women that he came to Troy to revenge himself on Paris and not to take back Helen, but Helen is nevertheless to return to Greece where a death sentence awaits her. Helen is brought before him, still beautiful and alluring after all that has happened, and she begs Menelaus to spare her life, claiming that she was bewitched by the goddess Cypris and that she did attempt to return to Menelaus after the spell was broken. Hecuba scorns her unlikely story, and warns Menelaus that she will betray him again is she is allowed to live, but he remains implacable, merely ensuring that she travel back on a ship other than his own. Towards the end of the play, Talthybius returns, bearing with him the body of little Astyanax on Hector's great bronze shield. Andromache had wished to bury her child herself, performing the proper rituals according to Trojan ways, but her ship has already departed, and it falls to Hecuba to prepare the body of her grandson for burial. As the play closes and flames rise from the ruins of Troy, Hecuba makes a last desperate attempt to kill herself in the fire, but is restrained by the soldiers. She and the remaining Trojan women are taken off to the ships of their Greek conquerors.
The Trojan Women has long been considered an innovative and artistic portrayal of the aftermath of the Trojan War, as well as a penetrating depiction of the barbaric behaviour of Euripides' own countrymen towards the women and children of the people they subjugated in war. Although in technical terms it is perhaps not a great play - it has little developing plot, little construction or action and little relief or variety in tone - its message is timeless and universal. Premiering in the spring of 415 BCE, as Athens military fate was held in the balance sixteen years into the Peloponnesian War against Sparta, and not long after the Athenian armys massacre of the men of the island of Melos and their enslavement of their women and children, Euripides tragic commentary on the inhumanity of war challenged the very nature of Greek cultural supremacy. In contrast, the women of Troy, notably Hecuba, appear to shoulder their burdens with nobility and decency. Led by the circumstances they find themselves in, the Trojan women, Hecuba in particular, repeatedly question their faith in the traditional pantheon of gods and their dependence on them, and the futility of expecting wisdom and justice from the gods is expressed again and again. The gods are portrayed in the play as jealous, head-strong and capricious, which would have greatly disturbed the more politically conservative contemporaries of Euripides, and it is perhaps no surprise that the play did not win in the Dionysia dramatic competition, despite its obvious quality. The main Trojan women around whom the play revolves are deliberately portrayed as very unlike each other: the weary, tragic old queen, Hecuba; the young, holy virgin and seer, Cassandra; the proud and noble Andromache; and the beautiful, scheming Helen (not a Trojan by birth, but her view of the events is also presented by Euripides for contrast). Each of the women is granted a dramatic and spectacular entrance into the play, and each reacts to the tragic circumstances in her own individual way. The other (less grand but equally pitiful) women of the Chorus also have their say and, in calling attention to the grief of the ordinary women of Troy, Euripides reminds us that the grand ladies of the court are now just as much slaves are they are, and that their sorrows are actually very similar in nature. Of the two male characters in the play, Menelaus is portrayed as weak and officious, while the Greek herald Talthybius is represented as a sensitive and decent man caught up in a world of depravity and grief, a much more complex character than the usual anonymous herald of Greek tragedy, and the only Greek in the whole play who is presented with any positive attributes at all.
