Great life with a missing piece
I work in insurance for a large company and it isn't what I planned on doing but its stable and dependable. I have many dreams and goals I want to accomplish in my life and would love to have someone to share them with. I believe that people are genuinely good unless proven otherwise so I always try to look at the positive no matter what. Any questions feel free to ask! I was lucky and raised in a good home with great parents that have been married 30 some odd years that I aspire to be like. I love to cook incredible multiple hour gourmet meals which I have been told are really good. I tend to be a little dorky in terms of random knowledge that people seem to wonder why or how I know. lol I really love watching hockey and going to the games. Football can be fun too but I don't really have a particular team to root for but I will gladly adopt your team lol. I also love going on runs with Prancer my amazing Animal Rescued dog. I really try to focus on being healthish (its totally a word) and going to the gym in a lot of my free time. I absolutely love to Travel! No matter train or plane its just something I have always loved to do so where do you want to go? I can enjoy a good beer, glass of amazing wine or cocktail on occasion or if it matches something I'm cooking but going to the bars really isn't my thing. I am a honest genuine and caring person and would love to find the same in a partner which maybe one day would be a life partner. Looking for a girl that doesn't want to play games and just upfront and honest. Anyway if you have any questions I am really outgoing and am an open book!!

Ricin, cholera toxin and shiga toxin, produced by deadly strains of E. coli, are the stuff of every poisoner's handbook - because there is no antidote. Now Jose Saenz and colleagues at Washington University School of Medicine in St Louis, Missouri, may have found one.
These toxins travel backwards through a cell's protein-making pathway, passing through the Golgi network and endoplasmic reticulum before interrupting protein synthesis. Saenz's team screened 14,400 small molecules for compounds that could halt this journey without disrupting normal cell function. They found two such molecules which, if safe, could lead to treatments for these poisons (Infection and Immunity, DOI: 10.1128/IAI.00442-07).

Herrmann is accused of crashing his pickup truck into the rear of a car on Highway 35 near the Hog Wild Bar on Saturday. Five young women from Onalaska were in the car. Theresa Kroes (cruise) died in the crash, and the other four were injured. Herrmann also was hospitalized before being transferred to the county jail yesterday.

'iCarly' series finale: Miranda Cosgrove says 'iGoodbye'Add to Favorites |
In the episode entitled "iGoodbye," Cosgrove's character, Carly, is devastated when her dad can't be there to take her to the Air Force father daughter dance. When Carly's brother Spencer (Jerry Trainor) gets too sick to take her himself, Carly's bestie, Sam (Jennette McCurdy) goes into action, talking buddies Freddie (Nathan Kress) and Gibby (Noah Munck) into getting their tuxes on.
But Carly is too upset to attend the dance with anyone but her dad, or her brother as his fill-in, and says she just wants the night to be over. At that moment, Carly's father walks in the door for an emotional surprise reunion.
Upon learning after the dance that dad has to return immediately to his Air Force base in Italy, Carly has a difficult decision to make. Should she go with him? How can she leave her friends behind?
Sam and Spencer encourage Carly to seize the moment, and she makes plans to depart for Italy in four hours -- just enough time to make one last "iCarly" webisode with Sam and Freddie.
Carly says goodbye to Spencer, her live-in guardian, and thanks him for taking care of her. Spencer points out what viewers already know: "You took care of yourself." The pair embrace as Spencer tears up.
Then Carly goes to see Freddie and surprises him with a goodbye kiss. Sam and Carly have the final goodbye with a touching elevator ride, followed by the requisite montage of the series' best moments.
In the final webisode, Carly tells her viewers, "This isn't goodbye ... but, 'iCarly's' gonna be taking a break."
Could that be an open door for a future "iCarly" reunion?

I understand that we can create a bootable Win 8.1.1 iso flash drive.
Like most users, I upgraded from an older Windows version to Win 8, then to Win 8.1 via Windows Store.
As such, I do not have Win 8.1 product key. I have Win 8 product key.
My question is : if I need to reinstall Win 8.1.1, can I use the bootable USB to do that ?
Will it accept my Win 8 key during re-install ?

Teen Mom
Which Teen Mom 2 Looked Exactly Like Her Kiddo When She Was a Baby?! (PHOTO)
Jace Evans might just be the cutest kiddo on the Teen Mom block, and now we know why! Turns out this little fella got the majority of his good looks from his mom, Jenelle "Alfredo Addict" Evans — in fact, they're pretty much identical.
Jenelle is drop-dead gorgeous (those eyebrows, guys … they're just so mysterious), and she was the spitting image of baby Jace back in ye olden days. Also, ye olden days equals the '90s. Check out this adorable side-by-side of Jenelle and Jace — they practically look like twins!
These two have the same hair, the same noses, the same eyes, and the same adorably chubby cheeks. Unfortunately, Jace's outfit isn't nearly as fabulous as Jenelle's, because sadly they just don't make red and white pinafores the way they used to.
Do you think Jenelle and Jace look alike? Not gonna lie, this kiddo barely resembles his father, Andrew Lewis. No wonder that wayward dude was so insistent that he wasn't Jace's real dad! Thank the Ugg gods for paternity tests, right y'all!

The Lotus Eaters: A Novel (Reading Group Gold) (original 2010; edition 2010)
by Tatjana Soli
Work details
The Lotus Eaters by Tatjana Soli (2010)
No current Talk conversations about this book.
Story about the last days of America in Vietnam, told from the perspective of a female war correspondent. Details the life of both her male mentor, and her Vietnam guide. Hard to read at times, but gave a good understanding of the risks a war correspondent is exposed to.
The tragedy of the Vietnam War never ceases to stagger--this novel spans ten years, flashing back from the American surrender of Saigon in April 1975 to explore the intertwined fates of two Americans and their Vietnamese interpreter. Comprising a romantic triangle are Sam Darrow, a glamorous, jaded, 40ish photographer; Helen Adams, an aspiring neophyte photographer in her early twenties when she arrives to cover the war; and Linh, the son of intelligentsia from the North, whose initial goal is to cease being a soldier. I almost didn't read this book. After browsing through the first few chapters, I was initially doubtful that it would be worth the effort, but I am glad that I kept going. This is such a visceral work: there are constant references to the heat, the smells, the rain, the mud, the colors. The characters' role as members of the press is to try to bear witness to the violent, unpredictable consequences of the war as observers, not participants. Naturally, this is an impossible proposition--they are all both victims of and active protagonists within the conflict. There are no answers here, but a beautifully written evocation of the simultaneously horrific and spellbinding realities of the war.
I listened to this book on Audible.com. My fascination with Vietnam was increased after reading Soli's account of a female freelance photographer in Vietnam. Her story of how the protagonist learned about war, photographing combat and the Vietnamese made this read more like non-fiction than a novel. How I feel about Vietnam may have a lot to do with my age at the time, but it is still worth reading if the subject interests you.
The most difficult part of reviewing my thoughts on The Lotus Eaters is condensing them enough
to speak with simplicity.
I checked the average reader's review (usually 3* to 5*)
My question was: You were how old during the Vietnam conflict?
As in any conflict, I feel your personal interpretation varies with your proximity to the war.
The title is apropos.
From Homer's Odyssey ----
After leaving Troy and miles from the original course, Odysseus sends 3 brave men as scouts
to the strange land they approached.
They were introduced to the lotus and "Odysseus says: the native fruit made my soldiers forget everything they had ever know; where they were from, where they were going, everything......
Minus three, we sailed in the direction of our original course."
Our story begins in April 1975, in the final days of a falling Saigon.
The following quotation says it best:
Entering the setting, we'll meet, in retrospect, "three remarkable photographers brought together under the impossible umbrella of war:
Helen Adams, a once-naïve ingénue whose ambition conflicts with her desire over the course of the fighting;
Linh, the mysterious Vietnamese man who loves her, but is torn between conflicting loyalties to his homeland and his heart;
and Sam Darrow, a man addicted to the narcotic of violence, to his intoxicating affair with Helen and to the ever-increasing danger of his job.
All three become transformed by the conflict they have risked everything to record."
Tatjana Soli walks with us through heavily chronicled times with decisive realism.
The author notes --- " because a woman was naturally an outsider in the Vietnam conflict, she will see things that might be otherwise overlooked."
and "unlike now, journalists had complete access, which is probably why we ultimately got the real story from there."
war....betrayal....obsession....courage....fear...love lost...the redemptive power of love.
As the author explores her characters with physical, mental emotional and spiritual clarity,
I witnessed their evolution and felt my own.
It's fiction...but reads as nonfiction.
Hope you enjoy the read (listen, in my case) as much as I did.
Having studied Vietnam in depth in the course of my undergraduate degree, having traveled extensively through the country and having lived in the Asia Pacific region for many years, I have read a lot of books related to Vietnam. This is one of the best fiction accounts I have read and there are a number of reasons for that to be the case.
The story is told primarily from the viewpoint of a woman photographer who initially comes to Vietnam in 1965 to discover the truth of her brothers death and ends up staying for a variety of reasons and in doing so covers the war from beginning to end. On arrival she is a naive and derided by the male war correspondents, photographers and soldiers. She is considered a distraction, a potential demoralization for the troops in the event that she is killed in combat and not up to the macho standards of her male colleagues.
She forges ahead and in doing so, develops contacts that only a woman would be able to make and sees the war from a viewpoint that only a woman could have. The interactions are believable. The relationships make sense - anyone who has forged relationships in adversity understands the heightened sense of passion of magnitude these take on. Likewise, those that have spent time in heightened adversity understand that a break from that atmosphere can leave one flattened with difficulty readjusting to the "real world".
What made this book most compelling for me though, was the way Vietnam jumped off the page. There are certain sights and smells that for those that have been, understand. The book captures all of that atmosphere - from the cramped streets of Saigon; the smells of street vendors cooking; the fruits, vegetables and the particular smell of vegetation. She captures the storms that roll in every afternoon that create a steamy, humid evening. The taste of cognac and the salt on your lips and body after bathing in ocean water warmer than body temperature.
She is also able to capture the beauty of the countryside and the sense of mystic that is part of the Buddhist tradition and the Vietnamese people. What was the most refreshing though was that the story was not the typical American in Vietnam- democracy defeated by the evil VC/Charlie/Uncle Ho Marine crap that usually populates these types of novels. It is about a people who have endured French, American and Communist occupation in order to evolve into what they really want to be - independent Vietnamese. This feeling is captured well through the characters of Linh, Mr. Bao, Grandmother and even Annick.
If this is Tatjana Soli's first novel, I look forward to the rest of her output. This novel does not read like a first novel. There are some beautiful turns of phrase and crisp descriptions. The hell that is war is handled well - the descriptions of injury and death are well done as are the descriptions of humanity and life. She is also extremely well read and researched on her subject. I recommend this book for both book club and pleasure reading and have already passed copies to others. Buy the book. It is money well spent.
Tatjana Soli's haunting debut novel begins where it ought to end. In this quietly mesmerizing book about journalists covering the war in Vietnam, the first glimpses of the place are the most familiar. The year is 1975. Americans are in a state of panic as North Vietnamese forces prepare to occupy Saigon. The looters, the desperate efforts to escape this war zone, the mobs surrounding the United States Embassy, the overcrowded helicopters struggling to rise above the chaos: these images seem to introduce Ms. Soli's readers to a story they already know.
"An impressive debut novel about a female photographer covering the Vietnam War...A visceral story about the powerful and complex bonds that war creates. It raises profound questions about professional and personal lives that are based on, and often dependent on, a nation's horrific strife. Graphic but never gratuitous, the gripping, haunting narrative explores the complexity of violence, foreignness, even betrayal. Moving and memorable." —Kirkus Reviews (starred)

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0312611579, Hardcover)
A unique and sweeping debut novel of an American female combat photographer in the Vietnam War, as she captures the wrenching chaos and finds herself torn between the love of two men.
On a stifling day in 1975, the North Vietnamese army is poised to roll into Saigon. As the fall of the city begins, two lovers make their way through the streets to escape to a new life. Helen Adams, an American photojournalist, must take leave of a war she is addicted to and a devastated country she has come to love. Linh, the Vietnamese man who loves her, must grapple with his own conflicted loyalties of heart and homeland. As they race to leave, they play out a drama of devotion and betrayal that spins them back through twelve war-torn years, beginning in the splendor of Angkor Wat, with their mentor, larger-than-life war correspondent Sam Darrow, once Helen's infuriating love and fiercest competitor, and Linh's secret keeper, boss and truest friend.
Tatjana Soli paints a searing portrait of an American woman's struggle and triumph in Vietnam, a stirring canvas contrasting the wrenching horror of war and the treacherous narcotic of obsession with the redemptive power of love. Readers will be transfixed by this stunning novel of passion, duty and ambition among the ruins of war.

Guest Author - Peggy Maddox
In my review of Beowulf (2007) I criticize Zemeckis and his writers Gaiman and Avary for altering their source material beyond what is acceptable in translating a literary work to film.
An unfortunate effect of this movie will be to misrepresent the original epic in the minds of people who have never read it or who read it so long ago that they have forgotten the details. Here a a few of the differences.
Hrothgar is a dignified old man and his wife Wealtheow would never dream of spitting on him in public or anywhere else. Nor would she have the option of declining sex with her husband.
When Beowulf comes to Heorot Hall, he and his men must observe a certain protocol and leave their weapons at the door before being admitted to the king's presence. The king would never simply amble out in front of the approaching warriors and shout an informal hello.
Although Grendel has been haunting the hall for many years, the hall is not a wreck. Hrothgar and his people use it during daytime hours and leave it at dusk. The hall is made of wood, not stone.
In the poem, there is no connection between the killing of Grendel and his dam and the later killing of the dragon. Beowulf is still a young man when he goes to the aid of Hrothgar. He takes fourteen men with him. Wiglaf is not one of them. He hasn't been born yet. The travelers would not become lost at sea. Beowulf is described as "a man cunning in the knowledge of the sea." Of the fourteen men who go with Beowulf, only one is slain. The others all get back home safely.
Hrothgar is a Dane. Beowulf is a Swede. In the poem his people are called Geats. (By the way, Geat is pronounced /yay aht/, not /geet/.) Beowulf does not succeed Hrothgar as king of the Danes. He goes back home after killing Grendel's mother. Yes, he really did kill her. And yes, she was a sea hag. And no, he did not carry a glowing drinking horn into her cave. The cave was lit from within with a strange, baleful light.
While we're at it, Grendel was an ogre (dined on people) and he was big, but not so much bigger than Beowulf that he couldn't be wrestled with. Beowulf tore his arm off by sheer muscle power, without the help of chains or doors. And when Momma came back the next night, she killed only one man, taking his body back with her to her lair.
The fight with the dragon occurs in Beowulf's old age, after he has reigned over his people for fifty years. A runaway slave stirs up the dragon by stealing a cup from its horde. Beowulf has a special fireproof shield made. He and eleven men, including Wiglaf, go to fight the dragon. It's the young Wiglaf's first battle. Everyone but Wiglaf runs away. Beowulf kills the dragon, but is bitten and dies of the poisonous saliva. His body is placed on a funeral pyre on a cliff overlooking the sea. Afterwards his people cover the pyre with earth, turning it into a barrow. The poet ends the poem with this eulogy of Beowulf: "among the kings of the world he was the mildest of men and most kindly, most gentle to his people and most eager for praise."

Well had 2 good bits of news today. First up I have been given the all clear to go back to full duties after I hurt my back just over 2 weeks ago. This is good news, because it means Ill still be able to fly to Mawson station for the summer season. I needed to be given the all clear or I would have been heading back to Australia straight from here.
Second bit of good news was my second order from rally raid has turned up at my parents place. I ordered the Evo2 fairing and tanks from John at Rally Raid UK. I have also ordered a heap of other gear for the build up of my RTW bike. I called John today to ask about the new tractive 300mm shock. I am looking at increasing the travel to 300mm all round. I asked how they were going with the development of the front rods and springs. He is testing the new front suspension next month at one of the rallies in North Africa, so looking forward to his feed back. I think after I get the suspension Ill have everything I need to build my RTW KTM 690r. Everything that has given the 690 trouble will be fixed up for this trip.
Well thats all for now I think I'm ready for a

Sofia Black D'Elia Tweets Off Against Haters
Well, we think we found some Skins US haters who are actually worse than the Parents Television Council. Next in line to slag off our fave show is the Westboro Baptist Church. That's right, the purveyors of such phrases as "God Hates F*gs" and "Thank God For Dead American Soldiers" have sounded off against Sofia Black D'Elia and her portrayal of teen lesbian, Tea.
The confrontation actually started as a Twitter dust-up between Megan Phelps-Roper, a member of the church, and Liz Lee from the MTV show, My Life as Liz.
@meganphelps @MyLifeAsLiz_Liz We follow the teachings of Christ, who required obedience to His plain standards. "If ye love me, keep my commandments."
@MyLifeAsLiz_Liz well if I'm going to hell @meganphelps, I'll txt u when I get there & maybe we can meet up & eternally burn together or something. U in?
@meganphelps @MyLifeAsLiz_Liz While you pretend to be a Christian, why don't you read what Jesus actually said? Check out Luke 16.
Wow… But then Sofia Black D'Elia (Tea) bravely sprang to Liz's defense via her own Twitter:
@sblackdelia gotta back up MTV family, @MyLifeAsLiz_Liz, against the definition of ignorance: @meganphelps.
@meganphelps @sblackdelia It's Bible-ignorance you gotta worry about. This song is just for you & those u teach to be simple sluts!
**Jaw drops** Oh, and by the way, that "song" Megan was linking to was a ridiculous faux-religious parody of a Ke$ha song. Megan Phelps then hit back with:
@sblackdelia @meganphelps Listen, you really don't wanna start with me. I'm a Jew that plays a lesbian on TV.
@meganphelps @sblackdelia "I'm a Jew that plays a lesbian on TV." You're a whore who plays a whore on TV.
OMG, did she actually say that? Also, just FYI, Ms. Phelps linked to a truly unreal parody of Lady Gaga's "Pokerface," which spouted more hate speech. So there's that. But both Sofia and Liz got a last shot in:
@sblackdelia @meganphelps And you're a dumb piece of sh*t who was raised to hate more than you love. So I guess we're even! [Our redaction]
@MyLifeAsLiz_ I'm done w/ you @meganphelps. U protested @ a 9 yr old girls funeral. how could I lower myself enough to tlk to someone like u.
We have newfound respect for Sofia Black D'Elia and Liz Lee for standing up to this horrendous hate speech. Rock on, girls!

Nairobi — Fifty year old Josephine Akanga and 43 year old Alfayo Nyaemo are names that feature in the government's records of people living with HIV in Kenya.
The two work for Unilever as tea pickers in Kericho and are among the few Kenyans who receive the necessary support from their employer to keep working and boost their productivity.
And at the rate that employers lose a valuable workforce to HIV/AIDS related complications, employers are being asked to ensure that such workers get the attention they need.
Kenya AIDS Control Programme Researcher Joshua Kimani argued that the number of sex workers who had been losing their lives to HIV/AIDS has drastically gone down over the years due to proper education and access to healthcare.
"We used to lose about 70 sex workers every year in the late 1990s and early 2000s and because of the antiretroviral programme and care and treatment programme, this year I have only lost three," he observed.
"So I can actually attest that the HIV control programme and treatment is actually working," he added.
HIV and AIDS wellness coordinator at Unilever in Kericho Aaron Kimetto argued there was need for the private sector to help bridge the gap left by government interventions so as to reduce the number of new infections and increase the production capacity.
Akanga and Nyaemo have been living with HIV for the last 15 years, when being diagnosed with the condition amounted to a death sentence.
"In most cases when they become sick they would come to our health facility and in the 1990s the cost of managing these people was a bit high so there was a big need for the company to have an intervention," he said.
Kenyans were also reminded to keep getting screened for HIV/AIDS.
Kimani cited the need for the country to get adequate interventions to fight the scourge that a large number of Kenyans had never been tested for the condition despite the government's bid to revamp its control.
He also noted that the rates of new infections among sex workers in the country remain high with 2.2 percent of female sex workers and 11.8 percent of male sex workers getting HIV every year.
"Because of the fear of testing many people are not coming out. I'm sure that it is only 42 percent of the men in this room have been tested for HIV and maybe 55 percent of the women because they must go through the Prevention of Mother to Child Transmissions (PMTCT) programme," he argued.
Kimani added that there was a low coverage of individuals who should be in the country's anti-retroviral programme, owning to the fact that most people have not been screened for HIV/AIDS.
He argued that these statistics were also hampering the country's fight against HIV/AIDS.
"I take care of 18,000 sex workers in Nairobi and we have reached about 26,000 sex workers but the estimated number of sex workers in Nairobi is about 40,000 so I have barely reached about 60 percent and that's where the problem is because we have not reached everybody," he said.
Meanwhile Nyanza Province has projected to reduce mother to child HIV transmission by 5 percent by the year 2015.
Provincial Director of Public Health Jackson Kioko said the current transmission rate in the province stood at 9.4 percent.
He said there were interventions that are aimed at reducing the transmission by 50 percent to bring the figure down to about 4.2 percent.
Speaking in Kisumu when he launched a three day campaign dubbed Kata Shauri in the province, Kioko said the campaign would create awareness and focus on the need to eliminate mother to child transmission of HIV.

Since 2006 each team was also allowed to select one player older than 23, providing they have not been on a primary or rookie list previously. One notable exception to this is the case of Adam Ramanauskas at Essendon. Special dispensation was granted to allow the club to place the 26-year-old Ramanauskas, who had played over 100 AFL games, on the list due to his ongoing fight against cancer.
Only half of the salary paid by a club to players on the rookie list counts towards the league's salary cap, and in general they cannot be selected to play. However, any club that has fewer than two veterans outside of its primary list can nominate two rookies to be available for normal selection. In addition, teams can promote a rookie temporarily to replace a senior player who has been moved to the long-term injury list.
In order to be eligible players must be aged between 15 and 23, and cannot be Australian citizens. Additionally, in order to protect the AFL's relationship with the Gaelic Athletic Association, Irish players do not qualify, and as such most be signed to either a club's primary or rookie list.
In 2008, the AFL increased the international rookie list for clubs to eight per year and a total of up to twenty four players at any one time. Scholarship costs were also reduced from AUD10,000 to AUD1,000 for players who remain in their country of origin during their development and AUD20,000 for players who are moved (such as to Australia) to continue their development.

GollyWhoppers is a local sandwich shop in a small shopping center on East Brainerd Avenue in Chattanooga, Tennessee serving good food at good prices.
There sandwiches are on fresh bread and rather large. This is a full sandwich. You can purchased a half sandwich (which I need to remember to do the next time). The sandwiches are made to order with what you would like on them. However, they do have a signature sandwich, The GollyWhopper, that comes with 5 meats and four cheeses. It costs more than the standard sandwiches, of course. I have never tried it (nor am I ever likely to).
They also have a variety of soups. Although which soups are served does differ from day to day, chili is apparently served everyday.
I had the vegetable beef soup.
My daughter ate the chicken and rice soup.
Both soups were excellent.
They also offer salad, baked potatoes, hot dogs, and desserts.
The desserts were in a case and looked fantastic. I noticed many people seem to order dessert every time I have been in GollyWhoppers, so I think that they perhaps taste as good as they look.
They are located in a shopping center with plenty of parking, on a rather busy road between I-24 and Lee Highway, and seem to be rather busy every time I have gone there. However, I am surprised they are not even busier considering the good food, reasonable prices, and quick service they provide.
Definitely worth a try if your in the area and want soup and/or a sandwich.

I was stuck in a snow storm and had to stay there, so location was the best.
The breakfast was terrible, nothing but cellophane covered miniature muffins.
The staff was friendly and helpful, most especially the night shift.
The fridge was rather loud. We unplugged it to sleep. Unfortunately, it was covering the sound of the leaky toilet, which ran the entire time we were there. We attempted to escape to the pool, but well, that was closed for maintentenance for the duration.
June (owner) was extremely pleasant and accommodating. Breakfast was prepared as ordered and was very good. Overall good value.
Not a problem for us, but should note that credit cards are not accepted.
There was nothing about not accepting credit card when the reservation was made.
Here's why:
We're not the seller
At KAYAK we don't set prices, so it's not possible for us to guarantee what other companies are selling.
We aggregate tonnes of data for you
Our service lets you quickly and easily compare results from hundreds of travel sites at once. In this sense, KAYAK is a search engine and we don't guarantee prices we find.
Why aren't prices accurate 100% of the time?
Prices on airline seats, hotel rooms and car hires can change frequently. Several people may also be trying to buy the same travel option simultaneously. As a result, you may find on occasion that certain prices are no longer available.
More questions or if you have a bad price to report to us
Please send us an

Video:How to Throw a Javelinwith Warren Robertson
Throwing a javelin requires different athletic skills that need to be honed in order to compete in the event successfully. Watch this About.com video to learn the basics for throwing a javelin.See Transcript
Transcript:How to Throw a Javelin
Hi I'm Warren with About.com. We're here today to talk about how to throw the javelin.
Before You Throw the Javelin
One of the first things you wanna do is learn how to stretch before you throw. Pick out the size javelin for the individual or the person. There's basically three sizes. Masters is 700, the girls is 600 grams, the male is 800 grams.
Running with the Javelin
When you go on the run way you run with the javelin. You start with a good relaxed javelin right here at your side. Javelin is straight the whole time. Next we're gonna work on our steps. When you're a beginner you might wanna start with a three step approach. Work yourself out to a five step approach. Once you've gotten better and can maintain your speed going into the box you can move up to a 10 or 15 step run way.
Throwing the Javelin
As you're running down the runway and you start to hit your crossovers. You wanna lay your javelin all the way back, full extension. As your running out of your crossovers you will bound onto your block leg holding your left arm.After bounding onto your block leg your forcing all your weight onto your left side. You're gonna hold your block having all your momentum going through the center of the javelin. I wanna say thanks for watching and if you want to learn more visit us at About.com

Pretty Little Liars
Pretty Little Liars Season 4 Spoiler: A "Get-Together at Spencer's"
We can't stop thinking about the Season 3 finale, but the cast and crew of Pretty Little Liars has moved on to its aftermath: Season 4. Filming started yesterday (March 14) and showrunner Marlene King has one of the first pics from the set.
Marlene tweeted this pic along with the line: "Get together at Spencer's." The Liars aren't present in the Instagram shot, but can we assume there will be a get-together at Spencer's house in the Season 4 premiere?
This actually tells us quite a lot. Right now, Spencer's allegiance is questionable. Last episode (Season 3, Episode 23: "I'm Your Puppet"), she joined the "A" team and kidnapped Ezra's son on her first mission. If the girls are hanging out together at the Hastings house in the Season 4 premiere, can we assume that Spence is back on the Liars' side?
Although, Marlene did not specify who was at this "get-together." Could Spencer be hosting an "A" team meeting at her house? Seems a bit ambitious. Then again, she always has been a determined Little Liar.
What do you think Marlene's tweet means? Let us know in the comments below!
Catch the next episode of Pretty Little Liars on Tuesday, March 19, 2013 at 8 p.m. ET/PT on ABC Family.

What to make of last 3 NFL unbeatens?
Three unbeatens left in NFL
We're three whole weeks into the 2014 NFL season, and only three teams haven't lost. The final unbeatens: Cincinnati Bengals, Arizona Cardinals and Philadelphia Eagles, all winning teams from 2013, but none exactly thought to be sure-fire contenders before the season. On the other end, a host of playoff teams from last season are just 1-2. What do you make of it all?

Is Andy Dalton a problem for the Bengals?January 5, 2014Jan5
Dalton the problem for Bengals?
Welcome to a new type of "Bungles." While the San Diego Chargers certainly deserve credit for their 27-10 road win Sunday, it's hard to deny the Cincinnati Bengals -- and quarterback Andy Dalton -- had a hand in the upset. Dalton committed three second-half turnovers as the visitors shut Cincy out 20-0 in the final 30 minutes, dooming the Bengals to a third straight playoff exit. The previous two, both at Houston, felt a little different. This year's makes one wonder: Is Andy Dalton, even though he has never experienced a losing season in Cincinnati, the right QB for the franchise?
AFC -- Will Colts, Chargers keep winning?January 5, 2014Jan5
Colts, Chargers advance in AFC
In the AFC, wild-card weekend went just as we envisioned, with the Indianapolis Colts falling behind 38-10 and beating the Chiefs anyway, and the San Diego Chargers effectively dominating the Cincinnati Bengals in Ohio. But hey, that's what's so exciting about the NFL. Now the victors move on to the divisional round, in which Andrew Luck's comeback Colts will visit the New England Patriots, while Philip Rivers' surprising Chargers get a chance to beat the top-seeded Broncos in Denver for the second time in five weeks. How will it all go down?

Our laboratory is interested in elucidating the basic mechanisms used by pathogenic bacteria to modulate signaling cascades in host cells. The ultimate aim of the research is to provide a framework for the development of novel antimicrobial agents that can be used to treat or prevent bacterial infections in humans. We study the closely related Gram-negative bacteria Yersinia pseudotuberculosis (YPTB) and Yersinia pestis (YP). These bacteria infect lymphoid organs in humans or rodents, the latter of which serve as reservoirs. YP is transmitted by a flea vector and causes an acute lymphatic infection known as plague. We are investigating the interaction of YPTB and YP with macrophages during the intracellular and extracellular stages of pathogenesis. YP and YPTB encode a specialized protein export pathway known as a type III secretion system (T3SS). Several lines of investigation are underway to better understand the function of the T3SS. First, we are interested in characterizing the essential components of the translocon. Second, we are carrying out structure and function analysis of several Yop effectors to better define their precise biological functions. Third, we are interested in uncovering mechanisms of host resistance to infection that rely on sensing the components of the T3SS.

Endowed English Reading to Feature
The Whitworth College Department of English will feature award-winning novelist Robert Clark as its 2003 Endowed English Reader. Clark has worked as a freelance journalist and editor specializing in writing about travel, food and wine, and is the author of books including Love Among the Ruins (2001), Mr. White's Confession (1998), In the Deep Midwinter (1997), The Solace of Food: A Life of James Beard (1996), and River of the West: Stories from the Columbia (1995). Clark's work has been praised in full reviews in The New York Times Book Review, The Washington Post, and the San Francisco Chronicle.
Clark will read from his works on Friday, Nov. 7, at 7:30 p.m. in the Hixson Union Building at Whitworth College. After the reading, Clark will answer questions from the audience, and then will sign his books, which will be available for purchase. The reading is free and open to the public. For more information, please call 777-3253.
Clark's most recent novel, Love Among the Ruins, was praised by critics and reviewers as a haunting portrayal of love in youth and middle age, as well as of the psychological and social upheavals of the 1960s. The book was a 2001 Booksense 76 pick and is currently in development for film.
Mr. White's Confession, which blends literary fiction with 1930s noir detective story, won the Edgar Allen Poe and PNBA awards for best novel; the book is in pre-production as a motion picture by James B. Harris, producer and collaborator of the late director Stanley Kubrick.
Combining his academic interests in literature and cultural history, Clark wrote River of the West, a chronicle of the Columbia River and the Pacific Northwest, in 1995. The book inspired his first novel, In the Deep Midwinter, which led Dan Cryer of Newsday to describe Clark in a review as "a novelist of consequence." The Washington Post Book World's Jonathan Yardley said of Clark's first work of fiction, "It has been a long time since the last American novel of such compassion, intelligence and maturity."
Other honors accorded Clark's work include My Grandfather's House being selected as a finalist for the 1999 Los Angeles Times Book Award for biography and the 1994 Julia Child Book Award for James Beard: A Biography, which was reprinted as The Solace of Food: A Life of James Beard, in 1996.
Clark lives in Seattle with his wife and two children. He teaches fiction and nonfiction writing at universities, conferences and workshops, and is currently finishing a novel, Lives of the Artists, as well as a work of creative nonfiction on F. Scott Fitzgerald.
The Endowed English Readings was established to bring nationally recognized writers to the Whitworth College campus and the greater Spokane area. Visiting writers offer classroom visits, workshops, meetings with students and faculty, and literary readings during their time on campus and in the community.
Located in Spokane, Wash., Whitworth is a private, liberal arts college affiliated with the Presbyterian Church (USA). The college enrolls 2,200 students in more than 50 undergraduate and graduate programs.

Degree Planning
At the Advising Center, we strive to serve students by helping them make theologically informed decisions in light of their current realities and future ministry goals. We love helping students plan toward successful completion of their academic and ministerial goals. This page provides general information to aid students in creating a personalized degree plan. For advice tailored to your specific situation, please schedule an appointment with an Academic Advisor today!
Planning for successful completion is as easy as 1-2-3!
- Step 1 – Know Your Degree Course Requirements!
It's important to know that you are only required to complete the requirements for your degree as described in your particular catalog year. Your catalog year is determined by the date you first began taking classes at DTS.
Each catalog pertains to one full academic year (Fall – Summer). For example, if you first started classes, reclassified, or added a degree at DTS in Fall 2012, you are required to complete the requirements for your degree as shown in the 2012-13 catalog. If you started, reclassified, or added a degree during Summer 2012, however, you should refer to the 2011-12 catalog. For help determining to which catalog you should refer, please contact the Advising Center.
You should also visit the page to the left which was designed to give you advice based upon your specific degree.
- Step 2 – Know Your Time Limit and Residency Requirements!
Each degree must be completed within a specific amount of time, with a certain number of hours earned in residence at an approved campus or extension site. For example, the MACE degree must be completed within 7 years, with 22 hours completed at the Dallas or Houston campuses.
Though 7 years are allowed, the Advising Center recommends planning to complete the degree in no more than 5 years (better safe than sorry!). This means that students in the MACE should attempt to complete about 13 credit hours per academic year (65 hours ÷ 5 years = 13 hours).
- Step 3 – Create A Plan!
Start planning for completion with our Degree Completion Planner. Use the following guidelines as you prepare your plan:
- Each catalog includes a basic degree plan which can be used as a guide in creating a completion plan. If you intend to complete a degree within the time indicated in the catalog, use the plan provided, making adjustments as necessary. If a course is listed during a particular semester in this plan, the course is guaranteed to be offered on the Dallas campus during that semester.
- Check your previously completed courses using your degree audit (available on Campus Net).
- Generally, courses that are offered online are available in that format each Fall, Spring, and Summer session.
- Contact academic departments to find out which electives may be offered in the future.
- Check out common pre- and co-requisites.
- Contact faculty members and Academic Advisors for assistance choosing electives.
- Calculate how many hours you can afford to take using our financial aid calculator.
- Consider how many hours you can take in light of your family, ministry, job, and other responsibilities.
- Attempt to create a schedule that will enable you to remain spiritually healthy during your time in seminary.
Submit your plan to the Advising Center for review by a professional Academic Advisor who will respond with feedback!

HOLOGRAMS no larger than a CD could soon be used to store huge quantities of rewritable data, thanks to the development of a new kind of polymer. Within five years, a German team hopes to store a terabyte of data, the equivalent of 200 CD-ROMs, on a CD-sized hologram. What's more, they believe they will be able to access data at a rate of one gigabit per second which is 100 times faster than a DVD drive.
Scientists at the Bayer Institute in Leverkusen, Germany, are turning to holography because in the next few years traditional two-dimensional storagein hard drives and DVDsis likely to reach its data density limit.
When polarised laser light passes through Bayer's new photo-addressable polymer (PAP) its chain-like molecules become aligned and stay like that even after the beam has been turned off. This alignment, or its absence, can then be read by an unpolarised laser ...
