It combines a thorough, and meticulously researched, yet witty, account of the life of one of the twentieth centurys largely forgotten archaeologists." (Edwin James Aiken Bulletin of the Association for the Study of Travel in Egypt and the Near East 19, 2004) Mary Allsebrook's light-hearted and extremely readable account of her mother's extraordinary experiences shows Harriet Boyd to be truly one of America's pioneers. While the past and its arts were her profession, the present and the future were her passionate interest - whether local social problems in her home town of Boston or international affairs which took her to lunch with Mrs Roosevelt at the White House. While prominent as a lecturer and teacher, archaeology was only a part of her life: in 1897 she was nursing with the Red Cross in the Greco-Turkish war, in 1915 she was nursing Serbian typhoid victims on Corfu, and by 1917 she was in Northern France setting up a rehabilitation centre within sound of the front. She was the first woman to lecture to the Archaeological Instituite of America - ten times in fourteen days in January 1902. At a time when few women travelled on their own, she discovered, excavated and published an account of the Minoan town of Gournia in Crete. Synopsis: Harriet Boyd was the first woman to lead an archaeological excavation in the Aegean.

Distraction soon turns to terror as Beau and Sue find themselves caught up in a series of events that will leave them and their carefully constructed investigation shattered. When Beau and his new partner Sue Danielson are assigned the murder of an elderly woman torched to death in her bed, Beau finds himself distracted by Sue’s difficulties at home. But all the glam is strictly surface, for the grit under the city’s fingernails remains caked with blood… The city is awash in the aromas emanating from a glut of gourmet coffee bars, the neighborhood outside his condo building has sprouted gallery upon gallery, and even his long cherished diner has evolved into a trendy eatery for local Gen X ers and hipsters. While the more things change, the more they stay the same, the Seattle that beau knew as a young policeman is disappearing around him. For his gruesome caseload continually reinforces those ugly childhood lessons about the awesome and terrifying cruelty of man. Two marriages, a treacherous battle with the bottle, assorted midlife and moral dilemmas, and a few decades as a homicide detective haven’t convinced him otherwise. Raised by his hardworking, unmarried mother and disowned as a youth by his grandparents, he learned at a very early age how cruel life can be. Jonas Piedmont Beaumont has had it rough all his life. Something else is going on.Ĭonsider the following diets: Atkins (all fat and no carbohydrates) traditional Japanese (all carbohydrates and little fat) and Ornish (even less fat and carbohydrates with lots of fiber). Conversely, up to 40% of normal-weight people have chronic metabolic disease. If one’s weight really is a matter of personal responsibility, how can we explain toddler obesity? Indeed, the US has an obesity epidemic in six-month-olds. These two nutritional maxims give credence to the food industry’s self-serving corollaries: If a calorie is a calorie, then any food can be part of a balanced diet and, if we are what we eat, then everyone chooses what they eat. Previously, one could have argued that these were affluent countries’ diseases, but the United Nations announced last year that chronic metabolic disease (including diabetes, heart disease, cancer, and dementia) is a bigger threat to the developing world than is infectious disease, including HIV. The United States currently spends $147 billion on obesity-related health care annually. The Hind comes face-to-face with Bryce, Hunt and the other members of their group when they try to escape after Hunt and the others destroy deadly technology sized by Ophion. She is also the lover of Pollux Antonius, who is disgruntled about having been separated from her afyer Sandriel's death when he was assigned to Celestina. Despite technically being under command of the archangel, she is known to truely report directly to the Asteri. Lidia belongs to Sandriel's group, having been reassigned to Ephraim after Sandriel's death. Lidia made the Drop before her twenties, and later became the spy-master of the Archangel Sandriel. She was taken away years before her younger half-sister Hypaxia Enador was even born. When she started manifesting her Shifter gifts, her father's kin from Pangera came and claimed her. She lived with her mother until she was three. When her mother and father (an unknown Deer Shifter) sired her, they struck a deal that Lidia would live with the parent whose gifts she inherited. And so I had to go watch it, you know, in preparation for having this conversation with you. I was 14, I think, in 1985.īACHELDER: And those games were on at 9, and I usually watched at least the first half and this happened early in the second quarter, so I saw it. MARTIN: When did you first see this football play happen? Were you old enough to have watched it when it actually occurred (laughter)?īACHELDER: Yes, I was. Chris Bachelder joins us from member station WVXU in Cincinnati.ĬHRIS BACHELDER: Thank you. It's called "The Throwback Special," and it's a surprisingly funny and poignant story about a group of friends who reunite every year to re-enact that play and then reflect on their middle-aged lives in the process. This moment frozen in sports history is at the heart of a new novel by Chris Bachelder. And quickly, Lawrence Taylor is up saying Theismann is hurt. That's not necessarily a good play to have called. UNIDENTIFIED MAN: And it was Lawrence Taylor who slammed Theismann to the ground at the 42-yard line. Washington quarterback Joe Theismann ran a play called the flea flicker, and it left him wide open to the hard-charging linebacker of the New York Giants, Lawrence Taylor. Football fans of a certain age can still recall with horror a particular moment during a "Monday Night Football" game in 1985.
