The surgeons listed above are members of The American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, licensed by the state of Arizona and certified by The American Board of Plastic Surgery (ABPS).
Choose Your Plastic Surgeon Carefully
Remember, any licensed physician is legally allowed to advertise as a "cosmetic" surgeon, even if he or she has no formal surgical training. Your body is nothing to take chances with, so avoid the risk. Selecting a board-certified plastic surgeon from this list is your assurance that your doctor has the highest quality training and advanced surgical skills.
ABPS Certification and ASAPS Membership Matters
The ABPS is recognized by the American Board of Medical Specialties to certify doctors in the specialty of plastic surgery. Following medical school, ABPS-certified plastic surgeons must have completed a minimum of 5 years of surgical training, including an accredited plastic surgery residency program. Members of ASAPS must be in at least their third year of active practice following ABPS certification.


text: As far as the query part of the discussion goes, I'm not sure what Donn is saying that queries don't return enumeration values. The Query class that we have today doesn't, but there's no reason why a query shouldn't be able to return any attribute value of an item, even if the type of the attribute is Enum. That aside, I'm not sure that you'd necessarily want to use a query to do what you are discussing here. If you could imagine writing a query that returns all Blocks that have a particular (Enumeration) attribute value, then that would be (in my opinion) an appropriate use of a query.

Archie McPhee to get coal in Christmas stocking for ripping off the holiday art of Miss Monster UPDATED
An excellent outcome and major kudos to Archie McPhee for do-right in this situation. Apparently, a freelancer did the dead with the art director none the wiser. Miss Monster posted this in her FB page: "So good news on the Archie McPhee/ Krampus thing! The art director immediately emailed me the same day i posted that link. Not only will they be compensating me, there may be plans for us to work together on some goodies next year. They were extremely attentive and understanding with that situation and im pretty impressed. A great ending! :)"
Well done!
UPDATE! While Archie McPhee does the do-right, Enchanted Witchery, not so much. Check out this stone cold lift of Miss Monster's art, appearing on several products at this shop, which claims all work is created in house. I'm thinking…not.
Naughty Naughty, Enchanted Witchery!
Pay the Artist.
Now, back to our original tale…
Melita Curphey AKA Miss Monster is a terrific artist who specializes in monster illustration and sculpture.
Archie McPhee and Co like her work so much, it appears they have appropriated her designs for a holiday line of product featuring Miss Monster's illo of Krampus, a traditional European boogieman who delivers bummer gifts, bad tidings, and a sound thrashing to bad boys and girls at Christmas.
Here's Miss Monster's original illo on a t-shirt legally licensed by Woot!
And here's a closer look at the scary creature from the imagination of Miss Monster.
Me Skeerdy! I hope I don't see him this Christmas!
But I bet whoever ripped off the image at Archie McPhee and Co., will.
Here's their Krampus Christmas stocking.
Here's their Krampus gift wrap paper.
And here's their Krampus sweater.
What a remarkable resemblance!
Krampus gets his big day on December 6, when grownups drink a lot and dress as this icky devil to scare the goodness into children.
I think the internet needs to pay a visit to the folks at Archie McPhee and Co, and convince them to fork over some dough to Miss Monster to pay her for the illegal use of her work.
Because creator rights didn't evaporate the day they invented the internet.

"This science will enable physicians to prescribe the right medicines at the right dosages and intervals to maximize efficacy and prevent unwanted toxicity. It should be a very exciting next 10 years of research," said D. Wade Clapp, M.D., chairman of the Department of Pediatrics.
"Personalized medicine will make a significant and immediate impact in the care of patients with heart diseases," said Peng-Sheng Chen, M.D., director of the Krannert Institute of Cardiology.
In addition to Flockhart, the institute's leadership will include associate directors Lang Li, Ph.D., associate professor of medical and molecular genetics and associate director of the IU Center for Computational Biology and Bioinformatics; Jamie L. Renbarger, M.D., assistant professor of pediatrics, of medicine and of obstetrics and gynecology; and Bryan Schneider, M.D., assistant professor of medicine and of medical and molecular genetics.
The institute's mission is to conduct research, train new specialists in personalized medicine and promote the translation of scientific discoveries into new more precise therapeutics for patient care.
Training new experts will be supported by the new Brater Scholarship in Personalized Medicine, which will provide funds for research to young physicians in medical fellowship training programs at the school of medicine. The first three fellows to receive Brater scholarships will be selected this summer.
To help move scientific discoveries to patient bedsides, the institute will have a panel of IU scientists who will advise researchers on steps to take to move their research beyond the laboratory stages. The advisory panel, with 21 members initially, will be chaired by Dr. Clapp.
The institute also has an external advisory board with five members:

Introducing: Guided by Cereal
Last Thursday our friends over at Bristol-based Cereal Magazine finally released their newest project to date, Guided by Cereal. The new online travel journal is beautifully influenced by the clean design and monochromatic style you find with Cereal both online and in print, along with thoughtful imagery. The plan for the subscription site is to visit and report back on 10 places each year around the globe. For the first set, they've visited Austin, Charleston, Los Angeles, Manhattan, Vancouver, Bath, Bristol, London, Paris and Hong Kong, with a preview currently available from their London adventure. I highly recommend picking up a copy of Cereal magazine– four volumes strong, as well as checking out Guided.
We, at Cereal magazine, have spent this past year in tireless travel, seeking places that we believe to be unique, interesting, and enjoyable. Our aim is to produce guides that would befit Cereal readers and modern travellers alike, recommending a tightly edited selection of experiences that combine quality, meticulous design with accessibility. If the food is top-notch, so too is the space that accompanies it. And the finely crafted garments, accessories, and homewares that we've selected as our favourites, are all affordable luxuries. You'll soon notice that our version of the perfect trip is weaved in with an understated flair and a penchant for grand landscapes – both natural and manmade.
"We've secured GUIDED ambassadors in each city that we've covered, to make sure they always keep us in the loop."

I sometimes shut off Code Analyzer warnings interactively in the MATLAB file editor and indicate that this should apply to all mfiles. I'm wondering what I would do if I ever wanted to revert back to the factory defaults, or even selectively restore certain warnings globally across all files.
I've looked at checkcode() and the like, but they all seem to apply to designated files only.

BitTorrent released a new torrent client, but, unlike what you're already used to from the company (hint: uTorrent), this is integrated straight into the web browser, Google Chrome, that is.
It is a simple extension, currently in alpha, called BitTorrent Surf, which is already available for download from Chrome Web Store.
The core functionality of a torrent downloader is deeply rooted into this extension, so you won't have trouble connecting to peers or downloading the files. What is more important, though, is searching for the stuff you want to download.
With BitTorrent Surf you can employ multiple websites to find what you're looking for. The result is a super search function that looks into multiple sources to retrieve results.
BitTorrent Surf displays the estimated torrent health together with the number of people sharing and downloading the file as well as the total downloads to date.

I was driving past the golf course yesterday and saw something that made me sad. Some guy was driving along the highway picking up dead deer. He was pulling a large trailer and it was full. Deer carcasses were stacked two or three deep. And after I passed him, I counted three more dead deer along the highway before I got home. What a shame.
I don't know if anyone can even guess the number of deer we are losing on our highways nowadays. And it seems to me the problem is getting bigger every year as traffic increases and we make better roads that facilitate higher speeds. I'm willing to bet that automobiles get more deer in Utah than hunters. And automobiles might be getting as many deer as predators. A cougar will kill a deer a week, and Utah cougars are plentiful, and fat.
From my non-professional observations, it seems to me that Utah deer herds are being decimated. Between loss of habitat, winterkills, predation, hunting, poaching, and highways, we might not have a self-sustaining deer herd in this state much longer. Something must be done about this.
I asked Uncle Spud what he would suggest. Uncle Spud is the wisest old guy I know, and somewhat of an expert when it comes to roadkills. Uncle Spud was involved in Utah's very first roadkill back in 1854 when he ran over a deer with his handcart. He doesn't like to talk about it much. It was a traumatic experience and the deer did so much damage to his handcart that he had to abandon it and walk to Salt Lake with his bedroll over his shoulder.
"So what can we do to stop killing all these deer on the roads?" I asked him.
"The fish and game guys are already trying hard," he said. "They've been fencing and making deer escape paths along existing highway fence lines. They've been making watering places to try to keep deer from crossing the roads to get a drink, and they've put lots of warning signs along the highway to alert motorists to the danger. They've even experimented with reflectors and sound-making devices."
"But we still kill way too many deer on the roads," I insisted. "It's a safety hazard to people as well as an ecological disaster to the deer herds. There should be some way to stop it."
"There are ways to stop it, but people aren't willing to pay the price," he said.
"Like how?" I asked.
"We can trap every deer and fit it with a reflective collar," he said. "Or we can mandate lower speed limits, spend millions for fences and better highway lighting, and impose fines for people who hit animals on the roads."
"You can't fine people for having a highway accident," I growled.
"We said that about fines for not wearing seat belts a few years ago," Spud said. "The threat of fines would make people slow down and pay better attention."
"That will never happen," I assured him.
"Well then, if we don't take responsibility ourselves, we can always make the deer responsible," he grinned. "The deer can fix the problem, but it might take a million years."
"What are you talking about?" I asked.
"Evolution." The Spudster smiled. "You know, natural selection and survival of the fittest. If Charles Darwin was right, in a few hundred thousand years we should have a deer herd that is automotive resistant."
"Sure," he said. "To fix the problem deer can evolve in several different ways. They can grow armor plating like turtles to deflect a speeding car. Or they can grow legs like super kangaroos and jump six lanes of traffic in a single bound. Or they can grow teeth and claws and attack the problem cars like Tyrannosaurus Rex."
"Good grief," I said. "Wouldn't it be better if people would just slow down at night and watched more closely for deer until we find a better way to solve the problem."
"Good plan," Spud said.
Then he added, with a smile, "Do you want to come over to my house and watch Jurassic Park? I've got the DVD."
"Thanks, but I'll wait for the real thing," I said.

Jury starting over in Phoenix temple killings case
PHOENIX — A jury with a new member restarted deliberations from the
beginning Thursday morning in the case of a man charged with killing nine people
in a Buddhist temple in suburban Phoenix in 1991.
Maricopa County Superior Court Judge Joseph Kreamer instructed the jurors,
including the alternate who joined them, that they were essentially a new jury
and must restart their debate in the trial of Johnathan A. Doody.
Kreamer told the panel a day after a female juror was excused to set aside any
preliminary or final decisions they may have come to. The juror had told Kreamer
that deliberations had become too emotional for her.
The jury had been deliberating since Sept. 24.
Doody, 39, is being re-tried after a federal appeals court threw out his 1993
conviction in 2011. The court ruled Doody wasn't properly read his rights.
Six monks, a nun and two helpers were killed in what police said was a robbery.
Each was shot with a .22-caliber rifle in the back of the head, and some were
also hit by shotgun blasts.
Doody, who was 17 at the time of killing, has maintained his innocence. But
co-defendant Allesandro "Alex" Garcia pleaded guilty to the slayings and
testified that Doody had planned the robbery ahead of time and intended to kill
any witnesses.

To embed, copy and paste the code into your website or blog:
As part of the Tax Reform that became effective on January 1, 2014, the Mexican Congress passed a series of amendments to the Federal Tax Code for the purpose of modernizing and facilitating the compliance and enforcement of tax obligations. Such amendments gave tax authorities tremendous surveillance power over taxpayers, which we believe is contrary to human rights of privacy and legal certainty.
As of June 30, 2014, Federal Tax Authorities in Mexico ("SAT") may communicate with corporate taxpayers electronically by sending emails to a personal inbox kept in SAT's website called the Tax Inbox (buzón tributario).
That seems to be perfectly in line with modern forms of communication. However, when a taxpayer considers that SAT may serve all kinds of notices through the Tax Inbox, including notices of deficiency, initiation of audits, imposition of penalties or any other, some concerns start to arise.

You better watch out, you better not cry, you better not whatever whatever cause I'm telling you why..
PARAMORE is coming to town! (lame)
Thanks to Tune Talk, I'll be catching this concert with my brother!
Got introduced to Paramore before they got famous and I'm not surprised how much and not to mention fast did they shot to stardom.
This is one of my fav Paramore songs. Especially love the catchy lyrics.
"I watched his wildest dreams come true not one of them involving you…"
Gotta love Hayley & BOB's Airplanes as well. Who doesn't know that song right now since it started hitting the radio, right?
"Can we pretend that airplanes in the night sky are like shooting stars.."
" I could really use a wish right now.."
These lines have appeared countless times in the tweets of my twitterers I follow and facebook friends' statuses!

Not much to say about this dish other than it is delicious and time friendly. From start to end about 25 minutes.
Serves 4
- 1 LB scallops
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- 2 tablespoon butter
- 6 ounces snap peas
- 6 ounces broccolini
- 3 tablespoons pine nuts
- ½ teaspoon curry powder

Roasted Garlic ChickenPosted by: · Apr 25 2012 · Comments
I found this while cleaning out my recipe box. My sister gave me this recipe at my bridal shower years ago. Clearly, the cooking gene skipped her:)
Smoked Salmon FlatbreadPosted by: · Apr 20 2012 · Comments
Oh tasty! This recipe is a cinch and just fantastic. I made this for dinner last night, but this recipe is great brunch fare as well. You can also make smaller flatbreads and serve as appetizers.
Serves 4-6
- ½ cup plus 2 tablespoons warm water
- 1.5 teaspoons dry active yeast
- 1.5 cups all purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons softened butter
- 8 ounces smoked salmon
- 6 ounces goat milk brie, thinly sliced
- 1 cup crème fraiche
- 3 tablespoons capers
- Bundle of frisée
- Kosher salt for seasoning
Whisk together yeast and warm water in a small bowl and let sit at room temperature for 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, in a standing mixer fixed with a dough hook combine the flour and salt. Pour the yeast water into the bowl and mix until well incorporated. Add the butter and continue to mix until smooth. Transfer the dough to a floured countertop and knead until smooth and elastic. Separate the dough into 6 equally sized balls and place on a buttered baking sheet. Cover with saran wrap and let rise for at least one hour.
Pre-heat oven to 450°.
Roll out the dough balls on a well floured surface to ¼" thickness. Place a layer of cheese on each rolled out dough ball then top with a generous layer of smoked salmon. Spread a generous spoonful of crème fraiche on top of the salmon and then sprinkle with capers. Finally, top each flatbread with a handful of frisée and a sprinkle of salt. Place the flatbreads back on the baking sheet with 2" spacing and bake for 12-15 minutes or until the crust of the flatbreads are golden brown and the frisée is crispy. Remove from the oven and serve.
Tikka Crusted SwordfishPosted by: · Apr 17 2012 · Comments
I had basically banned Whole Foods from my shopping options after a bad leg of lamb a few years back. After making a wrong turn on my way to my usual grocery store I drove by the green signs and a beautiful display of fresh flowers and was beckoned for a revisit. The swordfish used in this recipe was from Whole Foods and was incredibly fresh and nearly as good as my go-to fish market. I guess I might have to make wrong turns more often.
Serves 4
- 2 LBS Swordfish, I used two large steaks and sliced them in half
- Juice from 1 lemon
- ¾ teaspoon kosher salt
- 2 tablespoons store bought tikka paste
- 1 tablespoon melted butter
Pre-heat oven to 450°.
Place the steaks in a large baking dish. Pour the lemon juice on top of the steaks and then evenly sprinkle the salt on top. Transfer to the refrigerate and let sit for 20 minutes.
Remove the steaks from the refrigerator and even spread the tikka paste on each steak. Transfer to the oven and cook for 10 minutes. Use a pastry brush to dabble each steak with the melted butter. Return to the oven on the top rack and change heat setting to broil. Continue to cook for 3-5 minutes or until the tikka paste crusts. Remove from the oven and serve immediately.

Asparagus and Brie Stuffed ChickenPosted by: · Apr 10 2012 · Comments
Oh, how a year goes by. Easter weekend last year I was driving to my in-laws home and I got the much anticipated call from my doctor announcing that we were having a baby. This call was one that sent me pulling over to the nearby rest stop hysterically crying in happiness. This year I found myself driving to Grandma and Grandpa's with a sound asleep baby girl and a very good reason to be thankful. As I often say, this has very little to do with my food, but really this blog has become has much a diary as it has been a showcase of my food. So… this meal was made after the long haul home from Grandma and Grandpa's. Easy as can be, healthy and delicious.
Serves 4
- 4 boneless chicken breasts
- 4 ounces goat cheese brie, thinly sliced into
- ¼ cup finely chopped red onion
- 8 pieces asparagus
- ¼ cup crème fraiche
- Salt for seasoning
Pre-heat oven to 375°.
Butterfly cut the breasts. Place two pieces of asparagus on one side of the butterflied breast, followed by 2 slices of the cheese and a tablespoon red onion. Fold the other half of the breast back over and secure with a tooth pick. Spread one tablespoon crème fraich on top of each breast and season with salt. Place the stuffed breasts in a baking dish and transfer to the oven. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until the center of the breasts are cooked through. Remove from the oven and serve.
Chicken – Eggplant BakePosted by: · Apr 02 2012 · Comments
I have been super lazy about posting lately. I like to blame it on the stomach flu that visited me last week and severe lake of sleep. The two, however, are not related. My sweet baby who has slept through the night for the last month recently decided nighttime should really be playtime, that or she wanted to put her gloating parents in their place. Of late, a glance at the baby monitor hasn't revealed the sprawled out, deep in sleep angel that we have become accustomed to, but rather, a wide eyed, fist chewing, appendage thrashing, cooing and razing monster. All of this activity is usually topped off by just one giggle. I have come to find this sweet little giggle that we usually celebrate is in fact the precursor to full blown screams and me running up to her room in panic. Once cuddled in mom's arms a chunky hand typically grabs onto my face and a huge grin follows as if to say, "Ha-ha, I won. Now entertain me." Two hours of rocking and singing and then we start all over again. This game has clearly compromised her sleep needs and obviously mine. As a result, last night two exhausted girls slept without interruption for 9 hours. We are both so refreshed and bright eyed this morning that we can hardly contain our energy. So, Miss Eliza is sitting on my lap, talking up a storm and helping me write up this recipe that I have neglected to post for over a week. Enjoy!
Serves 4-6
-1 LB chicken breast, diced into ½"pieces
- 1 large eggplant, cut into ½" slices along the width of the eggplant
- 8 ounce package whole wheat penne pasta
- 1 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon butter
- ¼ cup finely chopped basil
- 1 large shallot, finely chopped
- ½ cup oyster mushrooms
- ¾ cup canned artichoke hearts, roughly chopped
- 3 tablespoons mascarpone cheese
- 1 tablespoon salt
- 2 cups mozzarella cheese
- ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
- ½ cup store bought bread crumbs
- 1 large egg, whisked
Pre-heat oven to 425°.
Cook the pasta according to the directions on the package. Drain and set aside.
Heat the olive oil and butter in a large sauté pan over medium-high heat. Add the chicken pieces and lightly brown on all sides. Add the shallots and mushrooms and cook for 5 additional minutes, stirring frequently. Stir in the basil, artichoke, mascarpone cheese, salt, red pepper flakes and the pasta. Remove from the heat and set aside.
Place one layer of eggplant slices on the bottom of an 8" x 8" baking dish. Pour the pasta mixture on top of the eggplant layer and use a spatula to spread out in one even layer. Sprinkle one cup of the mozzarella on top of the pasta and then place another layer of eggplant slices on top. Finally, top the eggplant slices with the remaining cup of cheese, then evenly sprinkle the bread crumbs on top. Use a pastry brush to lightly brush the egg on top of the bread crumbs. Transfer the dish to the oven and bake for 15-20 minutes or until the crust is nicely browned. Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes before serving.
Baked Shrimp and Sausage BurritosPosted by: · Mar 22 2012 · Comments
Okay. This picture definitely does not look like a burrito. I guess I didn't really know what to call this creation. More like tortilla pockets than burritos and for the sake of the picture I sliced them to show the cross section. Whatever you choose to call these tortilla wrapped delights, they are really quite tasty.
Serves 4
- 1 cup corn- cut off the cob
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 tomatoes, diced
- 1 LB shrimp, shelled and deveined
- ½ LB sweet Italian sausage, removed from casing
- 1 4 oz can green chiles
- 2 tablespoons cilantro
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 cloves minced garlic
- Juice from ½ a lime
- 1 cup freshly grated sharp cheddar
- ¾ cup sour cream
- 8 whole wheat tortillas
Pre-heat oven to 450°.
Melt the butter in a large sauté pan over medium-high heat. Add the corn and sauté for 5 minutes, stirring frequently. Add the tomatoes, chiles, cilantro, garlic, salt and lime juice. Cook for 5 minutes and remove from the heat. Meanwhile, in a separate large sauté pan cook the sausage over medium- high heat until cooked through and all major clumps are broken up. Add the shrimp and continue to cook until the shrimp turns a bright orange hue on both sides. Add the corn and tomato mixture to the sausage and shrimp. Cook for 2 additional minutes.
Spoon 2/3 cup of the mixture into the center of each tortilla. Top with a sprinkle of cheese and a dab of sour cream. Fold the tortilla over the mixture and into a pocket. Spread sour cream on the top of each burrito and finish with another sprinkle of cheese. Place the burritos on a baking dish and transfer to the oven. Bake for 10 minutes or until the cheese is bubbly. Remove from the oven and serve.
Gruyere PopoversPosted by: · Mar 15 2012 · Comments
This recipe is in no way my own. Justin had these popovers at BLT Restaurant in Atlanta and liked them so much he requested the recipe. I made one small change to BLT's recipe, although I am certain they would have been magnificent in their original form. These are just the way popovers should be- light, fluffy and just delicious. This recipe adds an extra punch of deliciousness with a cheese topping. Yum!
Makes 12
- 3 cups 2% milk
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 8 eggs
- 4 cups all purpose flour
- 1 ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
- 2 ¼ cups grated gruyere cheese
Place the popover pan in an oven heated to 350°.
Heat the milk and cream together in a small saucepan over low heat. Once the combination is warm, remove from the heat and set side.
In a large mixing bowl whisk the eggs until frothy. Whisk the warm milk mixture into the eggs.
In a medium sized mixing bowl mix together the flour and salt. Slowly stir the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients and continue to stir until the batter is smooth.
Remove the popover pan from the oven and spray with non-stick vegetable spray. Fill the popover cups ¾ full with the batter. Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of cheese on top of each popover. Transfer to the oven and cook for 15 minutes before rotating the pan. Continue to cook for 35 minutes. Remove from the oven and serve immediately.
Bacon and Gruyere Brussels SpoutsPosted by: · Mar 14 2012 · Comments
I was on my way to the store the other day and I asked Justin what he wanted for dinner. As if he were reading straight from a menu, he laid out the exact components of this Brussels sprout dish. I guess he has a talent, because this turned out really, really well.
- 1 LB Brussels sprouts, cut in halves
- 4 pieces thick cut bacon, diced
- 2 large shallots, finely chopped
- ½ cup grated gruyere cheese
- ¾ cup store bought bread crumbs
- 2 tablespoons butter
Pre-heat oven to 425°.
Place the Brussels sprouts in a baking dish.
Heat a large sauté pan over high heat. Add the bacon and cook until crispy. Add the shallots and continue to cook for 2 minutes. Drain the fat from the pan and spoon the bacon and shallots into the baking dish with the Brussels sprouts. Add the cheese to the baking pan and toss together with the sprouts, bacon and shallots. Pat down the ingredients in one even layer and top with the bread crumbs. Dice the butter and evenly distribute on top of the bread crumbs. Transfer to the oven and bake for 20 minutes or until a nice brown crust has formed. Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving.

PH08 Metals in the Environment: Aquatic Biological Perspectives
(PH075) Toxic effects of cadmium, copper, and zinc to four different marine phytoplankton quantified by PAM fluorometry.
Miao, Aijun1, Wang, Wenxiong2, Juneau, Philippe3, 1 Biology Department of Hong Kong University of Science and Technology2 Biology Department of Hong Kong Univerisity of Science and Technology3 Department of Biological Sciences-TOXEN of Université du Québec ŕ Montréal
ABSTRACT- The toxic effects of Cd, Cu, and Zn on four different marine phytoplankton, Dunaliella tertiolecta, Prorocentrum minimum, Synechococcus spp., and Thalassiosira weissflogii were examined by comparing the cell specific growth rate, Pulse-Amplitude-Modulated (PAM) parameters M and M', chlorophyll a content, and cellular metal concentration, over a 96 h period. The calculated Non-Observed Effect Concentration (NOEC) and Lowest-Observed Effect Concentration (LOEC) based on both the cell specific growth rate and the PAM parameters were comparable. Thus, the PAM parameters were not more sensitive than the growth inhibition as biomarkers for trace metal toxicity to the marine phytoplankton. The cyanobacteria Synechococcus was the most sensitive species among the four algal species tested due to the highest cell surface to volume ratio. The toxicity of these three tested metals followed the following order: of Cd > Cu > Zn based on the cellular metal concentration of the four algae at the NOEC. The cellular metal bioaccumulation followed the same Freundlich isotherm for each metal regardless of the algal species, indicating that the metal accumulation was a non-metabolic process under the high ambient metal concentrations and the surface metal binding sites were comparable among the different species. For all the algae studied in our study, the bioaccumulation potentials of Cu and Zn were comparable, while the Cd bioaccumulation was much lower under the environmentally realistic metal concentration.
Key words: Cellular metal concentration, Cell specific growth rate, PAM fluorometry, Quantum yields

The Losmandy Gemini 2 system is a DC servo motor based GOTO computerized positioning system designed for the Losmandy HGM-TITAN, G-11 and G-8 mounts. The Gemini 2 system has many features designed to quickly and accurately point the telescope to an object, then track it with even higher precision than the previous digital stepper drive used by Losmandy. The choice of servo motors gives two main advantages over stepper motor based systems. Servo motors run with a continuous smooth rotation, rather than discreet steps as with stepper motors. They also have very high torque, even at high slewing speeds. As a result the Gemini 2 system can deliver up to 8 degrees per second slewing rates with the G-8 mount, 6 with the G-11 and 5 with the HGM-TITAN.
Losmandy Gemini 2 GoTo System...
Gemini 2 can be used as a stand alone system in the field. It can be powered by any 3A, 12-18 Volt DC source. No personal computer is required. A user brightness adjustable Touch Screen Display allows navigation through all internal databases for field use without a PC. The following databases comprising of over 40,000 objects are built into the Gemini system, more than enough to keep even the most avid observer busy for some time!

Gemini 2 uses a Meade LX200 command sub-set, with most LX200 commands being implemented. The user can update the internal real time clock via a GPS unit, as well as user location information. Coupled with The Sky by software Bisque and CCD camera, users can confidently determine the positions of minor planets and comets, and place them on a CCD detector time and time again.
The Gemini 2 design incorporates surface mounted PC board technology for reliable performance in the field. The main control board also has auto-guider and accessory ports to allow full remote control of the system via a Web server from anywhere in the world. (Gemini 2 has been successfully tested with Software Bisques IAS server software).
The Gemini 2 system has built in "T-Point" like pointing software that can use from one to many stars to refine its pointing accuracy. With multi-star modeling pointing accuracy has been measured to within three arc minutes around the entire sky, and to less than one arc minute with short slews from an updated position located within a few degrees of a reference object. Gemini 2 is also fully T-Point (Software Bisque) compatible. Extended personal computer based T-Point modelling runs can give better than 1 arc minute positioning accuracy across the entire sky! Further, with Gemini's warm re-start option, previously stored PC T-point data can be reused without the need to conduct a short mapping run.
How accurate is Gemini?
Pictured is a T-Point summary of a 60 star mapping run with a Losmandy mount fitted with Gemini 2. Note the Sky RMS pointing of 26.27 arc seconds. While some manufacturers claim incredible accuracies with their GoTo systems, few will actually state actual results as shown above. While single star alignment assumes that your Losmandy mount is accurately polar aligned, the Gemini 2 system only requires rough polar alignment to deliver excellent pointing accuracy across the entire sky using multi-star alignment models.

Safe flashlight usage in traffic control
Submitted by:
Asst. Chief Bobby Jones
Knox Co. Sheriff's Office, TN
Never aim your flashlight directly into the eyes of an oncoming driver. Visual recovery from bright lights at night can take several seconds. A driver needs to perceive and react to what is going on. If they are blinded by light, the eye has to recover before they can perception and react.
Perception and reaction time is typically around 1.5 seconds. During that 1.5 seconds the vehicle is still moving. Add on the distance necessary to safely stop, plus the distance the vehicle will travel during the driver's recovery from being temporarily blinded by the flashlight and you can quickly find yourself or others in harm's way.
This is especially important during DUI checkpoint work or high volume traffic control situations like college and pro ballgames where drivers may be impaired. That impairment can increase recovery time from the bright light and overall perception/reaction time.
You should always use a flashlight cone when available and constantly move the light, giving direction in clear, predictable movements.

Last week, in the Arizona Fall League, in a move that has felt inevitable for a year now, Reese Havens began the move from shortstop by lining up at secondbase for the first time. Havens, who, as a member of the taxi squad, only gets to play twice a week, played second in both of his games. He's hitting a modest .200/.294/.267 (3-for-15) with six strikeouts in four games. As he prepared for his AFL debut, Havens told Adam Rubin, in a piece for Baseball America:
"That's one of the main things I'm working on out here—trying to move over and get comfortable on the other side."
"I think the biggest thing is just footwork around the bag. You've got to get a bunch of repetitions under your belt."
While Havens learns a new position, Nick Evans will also try to relearn a position that of "baseball player" that Jerry Manuel wasn't interested in determining whether he could master at the MLB level. Evans is DHing for Surprise Monday afternoon and thus far is 0-2.
Meanwhile, at Baseball Prospectus, in his Monday Morning Ten-Pack, Kevin Goldstein writes about the struggling Jenrry Mejia:
It might just be the sheer number of Mets fans, or maybe it's that in a
weak system there's so little on the prospect front to root for, but
for some reason Mejia is one of the most talked-about players in the
AFL. Everyone wants to talk about the velocity, which is unquestionably
excellent, as he sat at 93-97 mph on Friday while touching 99, but what
about the 12.91 ERA after four games that includes 14 hits and nine walks in just 7 2/3
innings? Yes, at 20, he's very young for the league, but he's also much
more of a thrower than a pitcher, even for his age group. His arm is a
special one, but it's also a bit of a spectacular mess.
Emphasis added. This doesn't mean Mejia's not a prospect, he certainly it, but his struggles in AA and the AFL definitely point to the fact that he needs more minor league seasoning.

During my recent trip to England, I participated as a faculty member at two podiatry and physiotherapy meetings. This was my third trip to the country in the past five years, giving me the opportunity to lecture and interact with colleagues. My experiences this time ran the gamut from dismay about the healthcare system in the United Kingdom to awe and respect for the level of care many of our colleagues offer in this country.
The Division of Podiatry and Clinical Sciences sponsored the first meeting, which took place at the University of Huddersfield. This year, the second Annual Musculoskeletal Research Conference focused on adult-acquired flatfoot. Podiatrists from the U.K. provided excellent lectures and covered assessment, ultrasound imaging and even surgical intervention for the musculoskeletal disorder.
My experience in the workshops, however, revealed how the national healthcare system in the U.K. has failed to provide adequate care for patients. I evaluated two middle-aged women who both had progressive, debilitating adult acquired flatfoot. They had each received little to no care at all while their condition worsened to the point that they could barely ambulate. In both cases, they had received simple prefabricated foot orthoses and nothing more. The notion of prescribing custom ankle foot orthotic therapy for adult-acquired flatfoot is not well accepted in the U.K. Certainly, the national healthcare system will not cover this service.
Previously, I wrote a blog about the current standard of care in the United States (see http://bit.ly/iUQtm3 [1] ). Generally, custom ankle foot orthotic therapy begins before surgical intervention for the adult-acquired flatfoot. The success and avoidance of surgery for this treatment is at a rate of approximately 70 percent.1 The U.K. has yet to institute the use of ankle foot orthotic treatment for adult-acquired flatfoot despite the fact that there are at least six studies published to support it.2-7 Ironically, the British healthcare system will offer its patients surgery, which is generally tenfold more expensive than preventive interventions.
My next seminar was the Podiatric Biomechanics Symposium at the Royal Society of Medicine in London. This meeting had a fantastic lineup of speakers. The podiatrists who presented were among the best I have ever heard in terms of quality of content and delivery of their subject. Hannah Yirrell, BSc (Hons), who is an attending podiatrist at the Defense Medical Rehabilitation Center at Headley Court, provided a particularly inspirational lecture. This facility offers care to wounded soldiers from the U.K., who have served in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Dr. Yirrell presented amazing case studies in which she had been able to restore mobility in young men who had been severely injured by improvised explosive devices (IEDs). In many cases, she used ankle foot orthotic therapy combined with physical therapy to make dramatic changes in the ambulatory status of these unfortunate victims. At this facility, the defense budget covers treatments. The level of care is far superior to what is available to citizens who rely on the national healthcare system in the U.K.
Upon returning home, I realized how fortunate I am to participate in a healthcare system in which I can offer numerous, superior treatment options, not available in the U.K., to my patients. I often listen to colleagues who bemoan our own healthcare system and vent frustration over reimbursement challenges in private practice. However, in comparison to the situation in the U.K., we do not have it so bad.
I worry about what changes may occur in the future if the U.S. institutes a more nationalized healthcare system. The result may be denial of treatment options that might actually save healthcare costs. The massive government sponsored healthcare system in the U.K. has certainly verified that this can be a reality, particularly for our podiatric colleagues practicing there.

The Eye is Quicker
As any kid with iMovie knows, you assemble a film from short pieces cut from raw shots. Ah, but where do you cut? This frame, or that one? And which order do you join them? The art of a movie often lies in exactly how it is edited frame by frame. Much like the art of placing one word after another. The possibilities could go a million ways, but only one sequence will appear inevitable in retrospect. So how do you decide?
Of all the many books on editing motion pictures, I found this one explains the logic of editing best. It assumes you can handle the mechanics of the craft (no software menus or photo tech speak here). Instead what I got from this idiosyncratic book is a set of very handy rules of thumb for editing moving pictures. I'd say that this guide won't be of much help for your YouTube videos, but would enlighten any attempt at a long-form film.
One Sunday evening, while my family watched one of Ed's magicians, my father offered up the 'secret' of their incredible practiced craft. "The hand is quicker than the eye!" I have heard the assertion many times. It is not true. The eye is quicker! This fact is indispensable for film editors. It holds a very simple significance: Directly it means that the moment selected for the joining of images must be 'calculated' to the very speedy interpretive facility of our eyes — a specific cut can work well or poorly. It is equally fundamental to our ability to 'decode' collections of images: The eye is ever alert to 'take in' information, and swift to embrace intricate descriptions. The eye is quicker than you might envision to 'get the picture.'
David Mamet gives a clear — and simple — example of this in On Directing Film: "The movie… is much closer than the play to simple storytelling. If you listen to the way people tell stories, you will hear that they tell them cinematically. They jump from one thing to the next, and the story is moved along by the juxtaposition of images — which is to say by the cut. People say, "I'm standing on the corner. It's a foggy day. A bunch of people are running around crazy. Might have been a full moon. All of a sudden, a car comes up and the guy next to me says…"
Witness. The Amish Boy in the Train Station Restroom scene. Time is extended — many more toilets than earlier — as one of the killers searches the stalls looking for the source of a low cry. The Amish Boy escapes detection. the shot holds on his face. Beat, beat, beat. Then a cut: We see the back of a policeman. We hear police walkie-talkies. The policeman clears the frame, and we see the Amish Boy in the arms of his mother. They are seated on a bench in the station waiting area. Policemen are all about.
By 'passing up' images of the Amish boy 'screaming' out from the restroom, a brilliant instance of pure cinematic storyshowing is crafted:
The clout in Time Left Out!
Plainly put, the good film editor strives to join the many film fragments, so that the structure established might hold enchantment, with no attentive concern about a cut. If there is form and purpose the audience can be captivated by the experience. In all creative storytelling, whether film, theatre, or literature, the aim is the same: have the fragments fade, and what remains is the harmony of the whole.
I never cut for matches, I cut for impact. –Sam O'Steen
Editors are sculptors who bend, mold, and breach time — in semblance, not in exactness. … This means that a 'feeling' has been stirred that a pause, or a 'holding' (on a shot) of some additional 'time' is required; or that the opposite is needed — an existing beat, or two, shouldn't.

Bulgarian photographer Georgi Andrinov recently released a great gallery from a photoshoot with his newest model, Vasil Dipchikov entitled Vasil by Georgi Andinov. The photos, all black and white with the exception of one, do a beautiful job of capturing model Vasil in the bedroom. The coolest part, visually, is the way the strips of sunlight through the window blinds racing across his body a different way with every shot.
Vasil by Georgi Andinov may take place in the bedroom, but model Vasil Dipchikov is certainly no victim of bed-head. The model's hair as gelled back to shine just as bright as his diamond earring! With an awesome star tattooed on his neck as well, Vasil by Georgi Andinov brings together all the cool bad-boy aspects of the model with heavenly whites of the morning bedroom, all of which are topped off by Vasil's classic white Calvin Klein Underwear briefs.
Check out Vasil by Georgi Andinov below, and let us know what you think!

PROVIDENCE ŌĆō It was 3:41 a.m. on Friday when House Speaker Gordon Fox brought down the gavel on the 2013 budget debate, sending the document across the Rotunda to the Senate. Twenty-four hours later, Senate Finance Committee Chairman Daniel DaPonte of East Providence raised his gavel to open the panelŌĆÖs hearing on the budget.
PAWTUCKET ŌĆō Daniel Bard could have taken the easy way out.
He could have tucked himself away in the trainerŌĆÖs room, or if he wanted to be out of complete sight, he could have hid in the indoor batting tunnels or some other out-of-the-way location in McCoy Stadium.
Instead, the embattled starting pitcher faced the media in the Pawtucket Red SoxŌĆÖs weight room at 5 p.m. sharp Thursday, discussing his recent demotion from Boston and the mechanical issues that have plagued him.
LINCOLN ŌĆō When Dr. Edward M. Matejkovic chose to hire Lincoln's own Jad Prachniak to skipper his West Chester University baseball squad last July, he knew he was putting a lot of faith in an unknown product.
After all, up to that point, Prachniak had served just one year as an undergraduate assistant coach at the University of Rhode Island in 2005, then served as Frank Leoni's pitching coach/recruiting coordinator at the College of William & Mary the following five years.
PAWTUCKET - Jeffrey Michael LeClair, 52, of Pawtucket, RI died suddenly on the morning of June 6, 2012 of acute Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis.
Born in Providence, in January 1960, Jeff attended St. Rays Academy graduating from Tolman in 1978. He attended Johnson & Wales for hotel/restaurant management. He worked at Holiday Inn in Attleboro assisting the National Guard with the evacuation and housing of people during the blizzard of 78.
PAWTUCKET - Robert W. Healey, 68, of Coates Manor, passed away May 21, 2012 after a brief illness. He was the longtime friend of Carlos Gonzalez. Bob was born in Attleboro, a son of the late William and Beatrice (Gillette) Healey. He had been the manger of the former Carroll's Hamburgers of So. Attleboro, and also worked for Coffee An Service, Lacroix's Food Service and Bayside Food Service .
A Celebration of Bob's life will be held Sunday at 4 pm in the Community Room at Coates Manor, Lonsdale Ave. Pawtucket. Relatives and friends are invited to attend.
PASCOAG - Carol A. Provencher, 60, of Wallum Lake Rd. entered into eternal life June 2, 2012 at RI Hospital after a long illness. She was the wife of the late Raymond Provencher.
Carol was born in Providence, a daughter of the late Herbert and Barbara (O'Donnell) Heath. Mrs. Provencher was a devoted Mother and Grandmother. She had lived Warwick and Bristol several years before moving to Pascoag.
LINCOLN - Matilda "Tillie" (Palagi) Clark, 91, of Boulevard Avenue, Lincoln passed away, surrounded by her loving family, on Thursday, June 7, 2012 at the Phillip Hulitar Center, Providence.
She was born in Pawtucket, the daughter of the late Peter and Sarah (Finnucci) Palagi and was the wife of the late William W. Clark III. Mrs. Clark was employed as a Processor of Student Loans with the RI Higher Education Assistance Authority for many years before retiring.
DELTONA, FL. - Maria Rosa Amaral, 78, passed away March 26, 2012 in Florida. She was the beloved wife of the late, Manuel "Manny" Amaral who predeceased her in 2008. The Amarals lived on Margaret Street in Pawtucket for many years before moving to Florida. She was the daughter of the late Jose DeRosa Silveira and Adlena Rosa Medeiros. She was predeceased by her brother Manuel Silveira in 2007. Maria is survived by her loving daughters, Joyce Weber of Orange City, Fl.
PAWTUCKET - Lucille Gertrude (Lavallee) Lachance, 84 of Capitol Ridge Assisted Living in Providence RI, and formerly of Darlingdale Ave, passed peacefully following a period of declining health, at the Philip Hulitar Inpatient Hospice Center in Providence RI on June 6, 2012.
Lucille was born of Fabiola Marceaux Lavallee and Elie O. Lavallee on December 3, 1928 in Providence Rhode Island. She was the beloved widow of Normand Lachance.
PAWTUCKET ŌĆö What could best be described as ŌĆ£joyful noiseŌĆØ emanated through the ornate auditorium of the William E. Tolman High School on Wednesday night as 215 graduating seniors received their diplomas.
From the loud clapping and cheers that almost drowned out ŌĆ£Pomp and CircumstanceŌĆØ during the processional to a heartfelt sing-along to the alternate rock song ŌĆ£We are Young,ŌĆØ the class of 2012 did not go out quietly at the schoolŌĆÖs 84th graduation, but more with a TigerŌĆÖs roar.
The question cut right to the heart of the matter and can only be answered by Mark Prior himself.
Why keep revisiting what has been a torturous comeback trail in the same manner where in the past, injuries played a significant part in removing the luster of this onetime pitching star?
Why not come to terms that the last major-league start you made occurred August 10, 2006, take comfort in knowing you gave it your best shot and realize that at age 31, you still have an entire life ahead of you?
PAWTUCKET -- Last spring, Tolman High finished the season as it hoped it would ŌĆö as Rhode Island Division II champions.
It nevertheless wasnŌĆÖt easy, as it had to manufacture come-from-behind victories over Pilgrim in a quarterfinal, Cranston West in a semifinal and finally Barrington, 3-1, in the championship match.
LINCOLN ŌĆö Call what happened to LincolnŌĆÖs Chris Pickering on Wednesday afternoon a pleasant and unexpected surprise ŌĆō that of getting selected by the San Francisco Giants on the third and final day of the MLB Draft.
CUMBERLAND ŌĆö The town's Monastery property will be on display with all its history when the sixth Annual Cumberland Arts and Crafts Festival is held there this weekend. More than 50 artists and crafters will be setting up booths near the Cumberland Senior Center building at the Monastery on Saturday for what organizers are hoping will be a nice day outdoors for the festival's visitors.
Lee Drury, Senior Center Director, said the festival is something the event's sponsors have been trying to grow each year as a rival to other popular arts and crafts events later in the season.
CENTRAL FALLS ŌĆö For years when he was working as a driving school instructor in France, Leo Heroux would request to have June 6 off to go to the beach.
But it was no ordinary vacation day.
Heroux's destination was always Omaha Beach ŌĆö a place that, despite its natural beauty, brings back painful memories of the carnage he witnessed as a young soldier in the aftermath of the Allied invasion of Normandy on June 6, 1944.
Paula A. Picard, R.N.
JOHNSTON- Paula A. (Todd) Picard, R.N., 53, passed away peacefully on Thursday, May 31, 2012. She was the loving wife of Gary D. Picard for 33 years.
Born in Pawtucket, she was a daughter of William L. and the late Gloria J. (Smith) Todd and the beloved step-daughter of Cheryl Todd.
Paula was Director of Nursing at New England Sinai Hospital, Stoughton, MA. She enjoyed bowling and traveling, and especially going on cruises.

PAWTUCKET ŌĆö According to the latest data from the Rhode Island KIDS COUNT Factbook, there are many reasons for concern over Pawtucket children and their future well being. Yet, there are also a few bright spots on the horizon to offset mostly grim statistics.
PROVIDENCE ŌĆö Gov. Lincoln Chafee declared Monday that ŌĆ£this is a new day at EDC,ŌĆØ because the RI Economic Development Corp. will start being more cautious about the way it doles out taxpayersŌĆÖ money.
ŌĆ£WeŌĆÖve been scorched; weŌĆÖve been burned, as it stands now,ŌĆØ Chafee acknowledged. ŌĆ£Rhode Islanders should know I am conservative by nature with every dollar and I always have been, as a mayor, as a (U.S.) senator, as a governor. There is going to be a full analysis before any investment is made.ŌĆØ
CUMBERLAND ŌĆö As a sophomore, Cumberland High senior Kara Gorman blew out a shoulder throwing the javelin, but attempted to make a comeback her junior outdoor track and field season.
ŌĆ£It was a ŌĆśno-go,ŌĆÖŌĆØ she explained. ŌĆ£Way too painful.ŌĆØ
This past fall, a few members of the girlsŌĆÖ lacrosse squad begged her to sign up for their program, as they desperately needed a goalie, and she finally acquiesced.

Pope leads Rome's Corpus Christi celebration
Catholic World News - June 03, 2010
The power of the Eucharist "transforms extreme violence and injustice into the supreme act of love and justice," Pope Benedict XVI said as he led Corpus Christi observances on June 3.
As the Church in Italy celebrated the feast of Corpus Christi (which is observed on Sunday in other countries), stormy weather forced the cancellation of the traditional Eucharistic procession through the streets of Rome, from the basilica of St. John Lateran to the basilica of St. Mary Major. Instead the congregation remained in the Lateran basilica for Eucharistic adoration and Benediction.
– In his homily the Pope spoke of the Eucharist as "the work of the priesthood of Christ, which the Church has inherited and carried through history, in the twofold form of the common priesthood of the baptized and that of ordained ministers, in order to transform the world with the love of God."

Comments about D'Addario EXP23 Coated Phosphor Bronze Baritone Acoustic Guitar Strings:
These strings do what they say but I didn't like the overall tone and tension. the thickness of the strings was too much. The Low E got very clunky sounding. Almost like an acoustic bass would sound. the tension was too high as well for my 25.5 scale length acoustic! I tried the heavy gauge EJ18 Ddarrio makes but they were too slinky for a baritone tuning. I wish they made an in between gauge. They don't. Trust me I looked. If you want a baritone tuning buy a guitar with a longer scale length. I like alvarezs baritone guitars personally

The United States' military spending and priorities would be drastically different if the country were no longer dependent on imported oil, according to retired Marine Maj. Gen. Anthony Jackson.
Energy independence: It would impact U.S. military policy, expert says
"We have spent both in national treasure and in lives a tremendous amount of our defense establishment as a result of protecting the flow of oil," Jackson said.
The United States military has been involved in two wars in the oil-rich Middle East and actively patrols and monitors oil shipping routes throughout the world. Energy independence could change both arrangements, Jackson said.
Jackson recently retired after 36 years of service, most recently as commander of Marine Installations West, which includes all Marine Corps bases in the western United States.
While oil is only one of many reasons the United States is involved in wars half a world away, Jackson said the fuel has a dramatic effect on how the country handles those conflicts.
"We would look at it differently if the Western nations were not so reliant on fossil fuels," Jackson said. "It would allow us to take a more balanced look at our foreign policy."
The United States spent $7.3 trillion defending the Persian Gulf from 1976 to 2007 and is now spending $50 billion a year securing access to Middle Eastern oil, according to a 2010 study by the Milken Institute.
Even if the United States were self-reliant, the country likely still would be heavily involved in the Middle East, Jackson said. But the focus could be more diplomatic and less militaristic.
"The negotiation table would help us solve more problems in the Middle East than our conflict because we wouldn't have something vital to the American and Western economies that we are trying to defend," he said. "It would significantly reshape our foreign policy with respect to the Middle East."

Candy witnesses the brutal slaying of her boss, Tyler Darren. Though she feels his death is justified, she finds herself in the position where she must flee for her life. She is certain Tyler's family will hunt her down and demand she reveal why a powerful assassin was sent to murder their son. That would place a young woman and associate, who had already suffered brutally, into more danger. Tyler's family isn't Candy's only threat; the huge blond assassin is tracking her with relentless determination.
After taking the assassin, Damien, on a wild goose chase into the remote woods, Candy's flight ends abruptly when his seasoned brother, Dirk, arrives to find her. They whisk her away to an isolated safe home in a distant country to decide her fate. Candy is terrified of Dirk and his family of powerful, wealthy assassins and she wonders at their intent.
But Dirk has a merciful side and despises the thought of Candy being injured if handed over to others who would hide her away from the world forever. He decides because of his loneliness, he will keep her with him in a marriage of convenience. He need never love her, as his heart had been shattered so long ago by another, yet he will still offer his protection, while ensuring her silence.
Having no one else, Candy begins to accept Dirk into her life, into her heart and into her bed. When she is suddenly stolen by the deceased man's twin brother, who would cause her demise, Candy thinks up an ingenious plan, hoping desperately to give Dirk the time he needs to find her.
