Struggling to come to grips with the death of her husband and business partner, Sarah Bennett is just beginning to stabilize the precarious financial state of her Atlanta-based wine importing company and get her personal life back in order, when she finds herself embroiled in a bitter battle with the brand manager for Bluestone Cellars, a historic family winery now owned by Australia's largest and most powerful wine conglomerate. Sarah is facing almost certain bankruptcy with the precipitous drop in her Bluestone Cellars wine sales after a series of appalling ratings by the world's most famous wine writer--ratings that may be firmly rooted in a personal vendetta against her. Once in Australia, Sarah stumbles upon a mysterious file that could put the billion-dollar Australian wine industry at risk. When she is attacked by a knife-wielding killer and people around her start dying, instead of fighting for her contract, Sarah finds herself fighting for her life.

In the Homeric Epics, important references to specific autonomous systems and mechanisms of very advanced technology, such as automata and artificial intelligence, as well as to almost modern methods of design and production are included. Even if those features of Homeric science were just poetic concepts (which on many occasions does not explain the astonishing details of design and manufacture, like the ones included in the present volume), they seem to prove that these achievements were well within human capability. In addition, the substantial development of machine theory during the early post-Homeric age shows that the Homeric descriptions were a kind of prophetic conception of these machines, and scientific research must be a quest for the fundamental principles of knowledge available during the Late Bronze Age and the dawn of the Iron Age. Such investigations must of necessity be strongly interdisciplinary and also proceed continuously in time, since, as science progresses, new elements of knowledge are discovered in the Homeric Epics, amenable to scientific analysis. This book brings together papers presented at the international symposium Science and Technology in Homeric Epics, which took place at Ancient Olympia in 2006. It includes a total of 41 contributions, mostly original research papers, covering diverse fields of science and technology, in the modern sense of these words.

"I know you want it, and I want to give it to you..." Dick spots the hottest, most gorgeous biker guy ever - and he's dressed in full leather! Dick follows the guy around, even watching while the hottie uses a bandana to wipe his sweat. When the bandana falls from his pocket, Dick is quick to make his move... he picks it up and smells it. Too bad he's not quick enough to avoid getting caught. Embarrassed, Dick escapes to the restroom. To his surprise, the hot biker follows him and demands a suck that Dick is only too happy to give him. The encounter is quick and heated, and it is only the beginning! When Dick next sees his sexy biker guy, he is talking to some other men and looking right at Dick. Not wanting to invite trouble, he tries to avoid them. To Dick's surprise, the biker guy invites him for another sucking session and to service his other buddies. Can Dick handle a room full of hot guys, all expecting to be serviced? Or has his sexual desire finally overcome his good sense? *For mature audiences only. SAMPLE: My cowboy friend was the first to use my ass. He didn't hesitate but stood at my spread ass and put his dick right into my open hole. I know he must have put some special lube on his dick because the lining of my asshole tingled with a sensation that I had never experienced before. I desperately wanted him to fuck me, and fuck me hard and rough. Then he placed a popper under my nose and I went wild. He gripped my legs and swung my body to meet his impaling cock. I had never been in a sling before and I liked it already. Cowboy fucked me hard and rough but then, too soon, he came in me. It felt so warm. We had made so much noise, that the other men immediately came over to use me too. As soon as Cowboy pulled out another man stepped up on the platform, guided his cock to my ass, and plunged right in. Once again, it felt so good. He fucked me for a brief time then he came in my body and pulled out, leaving cum oozing from my ass.

The Pulitzer Prize-winning history of the Scopes Trial and the battle over evolution and creation in America's schools In the summer of 1925, the sleepy hamlet of Dayton, Tennessee, became the setting for one of the twentieth century's most contentious courtroom dramas, pitting William Jennings Bryan and the anti-Darwinists against a teacher named John Scopes, represented by Clarence Darrow and the ACLU, in a famous debate over science, religion, and their place in public education. That trial marked the start of a battle that continues to this day-in cities and states throughout the country. Edward Larson's classic Summer for the Gods -- winner of the Pulitzer Prize in History -- is the single most authoritative account of this pivotal event. An afterword assesses the state of the battle between creationism and evolution, and points the way to how it might potentially be resolved.
