Long Man
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
He had tried to make her see. Staying in the valley to farm would take years off their lives, and probably Gracie's. People lived longer up north, where the workdays were shorter and the pay was better, where there were hospitals minutes and not hours away. Gracie could go to school and become a nurse herself if she chose. Annie Clyde might get homesick but it would be worth the adjustment. Even with the dam, there were fewer opportunities here than there were in the cities. He and Annie Clyde were still young. In Detroit they could figure out what path they wanted to take. In Tennessee, every path led to the graveyard. But he guessed he'd been losing his wife before the power company ever came along and opened up the rift that was already between them. Annie Clyde still had some notion that he resented her. James couldn't seem to convince her otherwise. All because of a handbill advertising factory work. He would have given anything to go back to the beginning of their marriage and leave it tacked to the post office wall. Annie Clyde was distant by nature but he had been winning her over until she found that paper. He had picked it up without thinking, so used to planning his escape before he saw her. He had tucked it into his pocket and forgotten about it. No matter what she believed, he wouldn't have abandoned her. He had only hoped she could be persuaded to leave Tennessee after her mother died. Then she saw the handbill and a distance crept back into her eyes that had widened in the last two years. James didn't want to lose Annie Clyde like his parents, like the sister he hadn't seen in ages. He worried that he had already, even if he got his way and she left for Michigan with him tomorrow. But more than any- thing, he worried that she might not come with him at all.
As he worked to spark the truck's engine, stomping the starter and pulling the choke until it finally sputtered to life, he thought of the way she looked at him lately without much feeling. But he remembered being loved by her. How in hot weather she would carry water out to him in an earthen jug. He'd stop plowing long enough to drink, runnels trickling into his dusty shirt collar. Once during a drought the earth was so dry that it boiled up to cover him, clogging his throat and blinding his eyes. She led him by the hand to a redbud tree and as he lay stretched out in the shade beside her she took his bandana from the bib of his overalls. She dipped it in the jug to bathe away the dirt then tied it dripping around his sunburnt neck. As she pressed her lips against his she took his face into her hands, holding him still as if there was anything he would rather be doing than kissing her. He was counting on her to remember that day. He was praying that when the time came to go in the morning she would love him enough to choose him.
Steering the Ford past the cornfield and up the track, he felt lonelier than he'd ever been. Not even Rusty greeted him when he pulled up to the house. He heard the dog barking, tied out by the barn. He went up the porch steps and leaned against the door to pull off his muddy boots, resting with his eyes closed before turning the knob. When he stepped into the dim front room it was so quiet that he thought for a second Annie Clyde was gone. She had taken Gracie and left him. Then he heard Gracie's chirping voice in the kitchen and followed the sound to the table. "We meant to wait on you but she got too hungry," Annie Clyde said, glancing up from her plate. Her food looked untouched. Corn bread and soup beans, sliced tomato, fried chicken.
Gracie climbed out of her chair and ran to James. He lifted and turned her upside down to make her laugh. "You're getting heavy," he teased as he set her feet back on the floor. Then he went to Annie Clyde and touched her shoulder. He noticed how she tensed but he was grateful when she covered his hand with her own. "What about the truck?" she asked, not looking at him.
He pulled out a chair across from her. "It's running, that's about all I can say for it."
"Sit down and let me fix you a plate," she said, getting up and going to the stove where the beans still simmered. She brought back his dinner and slid an apple pie onto the tabletop. Gracie sat on her knees and poked at the steaming crust, licking off the stickiness. James thought of the day she was born. He was so struck by the blood on the sheets, in the shape of a bird with widespread wings, that he didn't look at the baby. But once he was sure Annie Clyde was all right, he went to see what she held in her arms. The room was filled with light. Like that day he saw Annie Clyde standing there, a new creature on the riverbank. Gracie had a dark head of hair and little fists curled under her chin. She seemed at first like another part of Annie Clyde, but later he saw that she was her own self. She had a temper and was too stubborn to cry even when she got hurt. She liked being carried and rode everywhere on his hip. When James forked hay, mice would fall down from the bundles and scurry off, making her laugh and clap her hands. In summer she hunkered down in the loam to look for sow bugs under the rocks while James weeded the garden and Annie Clyde picked beans squatted on her haunches, deft fingers shaking the leaves and sweat making patches of damp on her summer dress. In autumn when they burned brush Gracie watched the glowing embers shoot up, the heat lulling her still long enough for James to see how much she resembled Annie Clyde. He tried to picture her in Detroit. In the tract house he had rented with one naked lightbulb in the center of the front room. Instead of mountains she would see tall buildings there. Instead of burning brush she would smell hot tar. "This is some good corn bread," he said, to ward off his sadness.
"Gracie stirred the batter," Annie Clyde told him.
"Did you? What else did you do?"
"I got some apples," she said.
He pointed his fork at her pie. "Ain't you going to share?"
She shook her head, eyes shining.
"Give your daddy a bite," Annie Clyde said.
Gracie scooped up a sticky clump and held it out for James to gobble off her fingers.
"I swear, it's like having two younguns," Annie Clyde said, but she was smiling. "If you're done playing with that, Gracie, go wash your hands. Your face, too, while you're at it."
Gracie climbed down from her chair and went out. James listened as she padded to the end of the hall where the washstand stood and scraped back the wooden stool she used to reach the enamel bowl. He felt a sinking. Without her the kitchen was closer and darker. After a spell of silence Annie Clyde got up and headed for the door to rake her scraps to the dog. James tried to go on eating but found that his appetite was gone. He couldn't bear the strain anymore. He made up his mind to have it out with Annie Clyde at last. To say all that had gone unsaid for the past two years. They had to if they meant to start over in Michigan. But when Annie Clyde came inside and cleared the dishes from the table, he couldn't bring himself to say anything at all. He stared at her, bent over the basin. He wished Gracie would come back but she had quit splashing at the washstand and gone off most likely to play with her dolls. James was alone with his wife. When the dishes were done he would have to say something. He watched her taking time with each cup and utensil, washing some of them twice. Scrubbing the bread pan after it was clean. Drying the plates one by one until they squeaked, putting him off. She seemed to know what was coming. He glanced up at the wall clock. It was almost three. His tailbone was sore on the cane seat. Finally she turned around with the dishrag in her fist, pale and drawn. James blinked. Nothing he'd planned to say came out. What did was the truth he guessed he had known.
"Annie Clyde," he said. "You don't mean to come with me. Do you?"
She didn't answer, but her face told him enough.
His shoulders sagged. "I was wrong the other night."
"James," she said.
"You love Gracie better than life."
"Please hush."
"Why don't you love me, though?"
She looked pained. "I do."
"Where do you aim to go?"
"I'm staying here."
"There ain't no staying here."
"We'll live in Whitehall County."
"And do what?"
"I could farm a few acres."
"By yourself ?"
"Yes. We'll be all right."
His hands clenched on the table. "You and Gracie."
She looked at him again without speaking.
"You can't have my little girl, Annie Clyde."
She shook her head. "No. That's not what I meant."
"She's as much mine as she is yours."
Annie Clyde paused, twisting the dishrag. "Then stay with us."
James fell silent. He rubbed his forehead. "You know I'd do anything for you and Gracie. But I can't—" Before he could go on the storm that had been brewing all day broke loose, barraging the tin roof with rain. They both looked up, startled. Annie Clyde had dropped the dishrag. As she stooped to grab it her eyes settled on a fallen lump of Gracie's apple pie.
"Just come with me," James was saying. "I ain't never begged you for nothing before."
Annie Clyde glanced around the kitchen, not seeming to see him anymore. She started for the doorway but James blocked her path. "What are you doing?" he asked. "Don't ignore me, Annie Clyde. I've had enough of that." He saw the color rising in her cheeks. She pushed past him and he followed her into the hall. She looked toward the washstand, at the spilled water on the floor before it. She turned and went to the front room, rivulets pouring down the windows.
"Where's Gracie?" she asked, almost to herself, lifting the curtains that Gracie liked to hide behind sometimes. She stood in the middle of the shadowed room, seeming to forget James was there. She went to the bottom of the stairs and called Gracie's name, her voice ringing in the emptiness. When she started up James took her arm. She whirled on him. "Let me go," she said.
He went up to the bedroom close on her heels. "I ain't done talking to you," he said. She knelt to look under the maple bed as if she hadn't heard him, tossing the hem of their quilt out of her way. He had thought he knew what she was doing, avoiding the argument they should have had a long time ago. But then she raised up and looked him in the eye. Stormy light from the window shone on her face and the cabbage roses of the wallpaper. She was white, now, with fear.
"Lord, Annie Clyde," James said. "What's got into you?" She pushed past him again and stumbled down the stairs. "Slow down," he hollered after her. "Before you break your neck. She can't be too far." But he felt the first inkling of worry himself. If Gracie had gone outside, she was caught in the storm. He followed Annie Clyde back through the front room and out the door. He paused on the porch to shove his feet into his boots, not bothering to tie them, then hurried to catch up with her. Together they moved through the yard, through the sheeting rain that was plastering their hair to their skulls, running into their mouths and filling their ears. When there was no sign of Gracie they ran around the side of the house, puddles splashing up their legs. As they reached the elm shading the barn lot Annie Clyde staggered to a stop. The chain was still wrapped around the base of the trunk but Rusty was gone. She turned to James with wide eyes. He knew what she was thinking. Someone had let the dog loose. Gracie couldn't unfasten the hasp on the chain by herself. They ran on to the barn where Gracie liked to play sometimes and stood panting in the opening, water pouring from the eaves. James was certain she would be there. There had been moments of panic before when she was only hiding from them in the box wagon or the corncrib. But there was nothing in the barn besides the smell of old saddle leather.
After that, without even having to speak, Annie Clyde and James split up. She headed across the hayfield while he went back around the side of the house. He whistled for Rusty under the porch, checked the privy and the hog pen. Everywhere he looked, he expected to find Gracie. He couldn't grasp what was happening. Only minutes ago he had been in the kitchen pleading with his wife. He was thinking how foolish he would feel later, after Gracie came out of her hiding place, when Annie Clyde called his name. It was a strangled scream, loud enough to be heard over the downpour. James ran out to the hayfield, his breath coming in wheezing huffs. Through the weeds he saw the dark top of Annie Clyde's hair. She was on her knees under the apple tree. He was sure then that Gracie had fallen out of the swing and hit her head. He was sure that he would find Annie Clyde kneeling over their little girl. He was prepared to gather Gracie into his arms and run with her to the truck, praying the road to the doctor's office in Whitehall County would be passable. But when he reached the tree Annie Clyde hovered over nothing it seemed, on her hands and knees among the puddles under the lowest boughs, where there wasn't enough light for grass to grow. "What?" James shouted at her. "What is it?" She turned her face up to him, drenched hair in strings, shuddering in the cold rain. "Amos," she said. "What are you talking about?" he asked, sinking down beside her. Then he saw it. There in the mud, surrounded by leaves and filled with water, was a single long footprint.

About the Author
From the critically acclaimed author of Bloodroot, a gripping, wondrously evocative novel of a family in turmoil, set against the backdrop of real-life historical event—the story of three days in the summer of 1936, as a government-built dam is about to flood an Appalachian town, and a little girl goes missing.
A river called Long Man has coursed through East Tennessee from time immemorial, bringing sustenance to the people who farm along its banks and who trade among its small towns. But as Long Man opens, the Tennessee Valley Authority's plans to dam the river and flood the town of Yuneetah for the sake of progress—to bring electricity and jobs to the region—are about to take effect. Just a few days remain before the river will rise, and most of the town has been evacuated. Among the holdouts is a young, headstrong mother, Annie Clyde Dodson, whose ancestors have lived for generations on her mountaintop farm; she'll do anything to ensure that her three-year-old daughter, Gracie, will inherit the family's land. But her husband wants to make a fresh start in Michigan, where he's found work that will bring the family a more secure future. As the deadline looms, a storm as powerful as the emotions between them rages outside their door. Suddenly they realize that Gracie is nowhere to be found. Has the little girl simply wandered off into the rain? Or has she been taken by Amos, the mysterious drifter who has come back to Yuneetah, perhaps to save his hometown in a last, desperate act of violence?
Suspenseful, visceral, gorgeously told, Long Man is a searing portrait of a tight-knit community brought together by change and crisis, and of one family facing a terrifying ticking clock. A novel set in history that resonates with our own times, it is a dazzling and unforgettable tour de force.

Windows 7 Logon Background Modifier
editor's review
Windows 7 Logon Background Modifier is a lightweight application designed to help you customize the layout of your logon screen. The software is optimized to function on Windows 7, since this operating system features limited options when it comes to changing the logon screen background.
Select your favorite image for the welcome screen
The software enables you to change the layout of the logon and log off screen, as well as the Windows options page. You can choose any image you wish, from a local library, and use it as a welcome screen background. Generally, Windows 7 allows you to select a JPG format image, that must be less than 256 KB in size, for the logon background.
Windows 7 Logon Background Modifier supports multiple types of input file formats and enables you to choose files of various sizes. You may load, for example, JPG, BMP, GIF or PNG images. The software can also detect the most suitable picture resolution for your screen and displays the recommendation in the main window.
Changing and restoring background images
The software can set any image to be the logon screen background, thanks to its capability of automatically converting a picture, to a different format, resizing and compressing the file, to fit the size requirements.
Once you have entered the full image path to the dedicated field, you may simply click Apply, and let the software modify the picture, then change the logon background. The application is capable of maintaining most of the picture's quality parameters, but due to the strict size requirements, the layout of the photo might be altered.
Alternatively, you can restore the initial logon screen with one mouse click. If you wish to return to the original screen, you simply need to select the desired option from Windows 7 Logon Background Modifier.
Windows 7 Logon Background Modifier is a reliable software that enables you to apply a small system tweak, in order to refresh the image of your welcome screen. You may select any photo, from the local library, specify its full path, then let the software apply the modifications. Otherwise, you can return to the original logon screen background, at any time, since the process requires that you simply click on the dedicated button.

This invention relates to syringes such as those used to store and administer medications.
Drugs and medications administered by injection, as with a hypodermic needle and syringe, are often comprised of constituents that if mixed together and stored for a long period of time tend to degrade in one manner or another. Degradation can also occur to medications when they are stored in their fully diluted state for long periods. For these reasons medication constituents are typically mixed just prior to injection as by, for example, drawing them into a syringe from sealed vials. Sometimes, however, a phenomenon known as "blowback" occurs when a hypodermic needle is injected into or removed from such a vial whereupon some of the medication squirts free to ambiance. Blowback creates a dangerous situation since many drugs, though safe and effective when used internally as prescribed, are hazardous to external skin and to facial features such as the eyes. Indeed, many such drugs are carcinogenic or antineoplastic. Even some antibiotics and antimicrobials can be harmful. Blowback is also a hazard in the administration of a single drug since such is normally stored in a sealed vial, rather than within a syringe, which seal must be pierced in withdrawing the drug from the vial into the syringe.
To overcome these problems and others, mixing syringes have recently been developed as exemplified by those disclosed in U.S. Pat. Nos. 3,351,058, 3,380,451, 3,684,136, 3,881,485, 4,059,109, 4,159,109, 4,226,236 and 4,306,554. Though some of these syringes have tended to alleviate the problem of blowback, they have not been problem-free. For example, they are often designed so that they are easily activated by external pressure such as by finger pressure applied to a flexible housing as in a pinching motion or by accidental movement of their externally accessible plunger. Other mixing syringes, which are provided with frangible diaphragms that are pierced by the action of an internal needle in order to provide fluid communication between independent chambers, may also be easily actuated prematurely. Still others, which are provided with pressure operable flaps, are also susceptible to being prematurely operated and to having their contents be poorly mixed. In addition, in cases where medication constituents are housed within a frangible bulb within a syringe barrel, which bulb is crushed to establish fluid communication for mixing, there is the risk that some of the bulbous fragments may be ejected from the mixing syringe. This is also the case with the previously mentioned syringes that have frangible diaphragms. Many of these prior art syringes must also be made of plastic for flexibility, which is disadvantageous in cases where a drug to be administered therewith has a plasticizer that can leach into the plastic syringe material.
It thus is seen that syringe and vial systems and mixing syringes of the prior art have had distinct problems and limitations. Accordingly, the present invention seeks to provide apparatus which tends to alleviate these problems.
In one form of the invention a syringe comprises a tubular housing having a needle end formed with an outlet and an open plunger end. A partition is provided within the housing separating a rear chamber located proximal the plunger end and a forward chamber located distal the plunger end. The syringe also has conduit means for providing communication between the outlet, the forward chamber and the rear chamber. Valve means are provided for alternatively establishing exclusive communication through the conduit means between the forward and rear chambers and between the outlet and rear chamber. Finally, a plunger is movably mounted within the rear chamber.
In another form of the invention, a syringe comprises a tubular housing having a barrel open at one end in which a plunger is slidably positioned, and a storage chamber separated from the barrel by a partition. A conduit extends through the partition and the storage chamber to a needle mount orifice and which conduit has an outlet opening into the chamber. Three-way valve means are associated with the conduit for selectively providing fluid communication through the conduit between the needle mount orifice and the storage chamber for loading the storage chamber with a medication, for fluid communication between the storage chamber and the barrel for drawing medication from the chamber into the barrel upon actuation of the plunger, and for providing fluid communication between the barrel and the needle mount orifice for medication ejection.
In yet another form of the invention apparatus for separately storing, mixing and ejecting a medication comprises a syringe having a tubular coupling at one end and plunger means operatively extending out of the other end. The apparatus also has a cell adapted to house a medication that has a chamber, a tubular coupling adapted to be coupled with the syringe coupling, another tubular couling adapted to be coupled with a needle, a conduit mounted within the chamber extending between the cell couplings which has an opening into the chamber, and valve means for selectively controlling the flow of medication between the cell couplings and the opening.
In still another form of the invention apparatus for storing and supplying medication to a syringe when mounted thereto comprises a cell having a conduit extending therethrough between two externally accessible tubular couplings and having an orifice opening into the cell interior. Valve means are also provided for controlling the flow of medication through the conduit. So constructed, the cell may be filled with medication with the valve means establishing communication between one of the couplings and the orifice through the conduit, the cell contents drawn into the syringe with the valve means establishing communication between the orifice and the coupling to which the syringe is coupled, and medication expelled to ambiance through the cell conduit with the valve means establishing communication between the two cell couplings.
FIG. 1 is a side elevational view, shown partly in cross-section, of a syringe embodying principles of the present invention.
FIG. 2 is a perspective view of a portion of the syringe shown in FIG. 1 with a portion thereof shown broken away to reveal internal features.
FIG. 3 is a perspective view of apparatus embodying principles of the invention in an alternative form.
With reference next to the drawing, there is shown in FIG. 1 a syringe 10 having a transparent, cylindrical barrel 12 having an annular flange 14 formed at a proximal, open end out of which projects a plunger rod 15 formed of cross-ribs 16. A push plate 17 is formed on the exposed end of the plunger rod 15 while a rubber plunger 18 is mounted upon a plunger support 19 formed at the other end of the plunger rod. The resilient, rubber plunger 18 is formed with two annular ribs 20 positioned in intimate, rubbing, sealing relationship with the cylindrical inner surface of the barrel 12. Thus, the plunger assembly is of conventional construction.
With continued reference to FIG. 1, the syringe is further seen to have a conically shaped wall or partition 22 located adjacent to the plunger 18 with its surface conformed to that of the plunger. A tube or conduit having a tapered female coupling end 24 extends from the partition 22 along the axis of the syringe barrel to a conically shaped distal syringe end wall 25. Here, the central tube 23 merges with an exposed male coupler 26. Together the coupler 26 and central tube 23 form a central conduit or passageway 27 to provide fluid comunication between ambiance and an interior chamber 44 of the syringe.
The syringe is also seen to include a three-way valve shown generally at 30, the details of which may be best seen by reference to FIG. 2 which shows in enlarged detail that portion of the syringe illustrated in FIG. 1 which extends from the partition 22 to the male coupling 26. Valve 30 includes a transverse, tubular housing 31 which extends across the axis of the syringe cylinder partially through a chamber 33 located between the partition 22 and the end wall 25. It thus merges with the central conduit 23. The housing extends to the exterior of the barrel where it is open ended while its other end 34 is closed. Within the housing 31 is rotatably mounted a valve tube 35, a portion of which extends out of the open end of the housing 31 to a handle 36. The handle has three angularly spaced position indicators 36. The valve tube 31 is formed with a T-shaped conduit having a main conduit 37 and a branch conduit 38. The T-shaped conduit is positioned for rotary movement about a point located along the cylindrical axis for alignment with an aperture 39 formed in the valve housing 31 to provide, in selective rotary positions, fluid communication between the T-shaped conduit and chamber 33 via aperture 39. Finally, a flexible diaphragm 40, which is not shown in FIG. 2 for clarity, is mounted within the chamber 33 over a set of ports 41 provided at angularly spaced intervals about the periphery of the barrel adjacent the barrel end 25.
In use, the chamber 33 may be loaded with a medication by positioning the valve 30 so as to provide fluid communication between the coupler 26 and the chamber 33. Once chamber 33 is loaded the valve is rotated so as to seal off the chamber from ambiance as positionally illustrated in FIG. 2. In this position it should be noted that fluid communication is established between couplers 24 and 26 through conduit 27. Alternatively, the valve may be rotated 45� from its illustrated position thereby blocking communication between the chamber 33 and conduit 27 as well as communication between couplers 24 and 26. When it becomes time to administer the medication, the valve is rotated to establish exclusive communication between aperture 39 and coupler 24, and plunger rod 15 is pulled outwardly from barrel 12. The stored medication is thereby drawn from chamber 33 into the expanding chamber 44. Complete withdrawal may be facilitated by the provision of a tube (unshown) extending from aperture 39 to the bottom of the chamber. During this time backpressure is prevented from occuring by movement of the diaphragm 40 and the entry of ambient air through ports 41 behind the diaphragm. Once the properly measured quantity of medication has been drawn into chamber 44, as observed from the barrel calibrations, the valve is again rotated to the position illustrated in FIG. 2 thereby establishing fluid communication between the chamber 44 and the coupler 26 for ejection from the syringe as into a patient via a needle mounted to the coupler.
With reference next to FIG. 3 another embodiment of the invention is seen to include a conventional syringe 50 to which two cells or vials 51 and 52 may be successively mounted in successive "piggy-back" fashion. Each of the cells is of the same construction as the structure illustrated in FIG. 2. Here, however, the cells are structurally disjoined from the syringe whereas the "cell" of FIG. 2 is a unitary portion of the syringe 10. Thus, in FIG. 3 neither cell 51 nor 52 contains that portion of the syringe 10 that extends from partition 22 to flange 14 as shown in FIG. 1, nor the plunger movably positioned therein.
The syringe 50 is conventional and is seen to be comprised of a cylindrical barrel 54 having a rubber plunger 55 positioned in sliding, sealing engagement with the interior wall of the barrel. A plunger rod 56 extends from the plunger 55 to ambiance out of the open end of the barrel to a plate 57. The other end of the barrel 54 has conical end wall 57 from which a male coupler 58 projects along the axis of the syringe barrel.
Each of the two cells 51 and 52 has a cylindrical wall or barrel 12' which, again, differs from that of the embodiment shown in FIG. 1 and 2 only in that it terminates with partition 22. Each cell also has the three-way rotatable valve couplers 24 and 26. The cells 51 and 52 are loaded with a medication by positioning the valve 30 so as to provide fluid communication between the cell interior chamber and ambiance through either coupler 24 or 26. The valve is then positioned so as to seal off the interior from ambiance for storage. For ejection, the cells are mounted in piggy-back fashion to the syringe 50 with syringe coupler 58 mated with coupler 24 of cell 51 and with coupler 26 of cell 51 mated with coupler 24 of cell 52. By operation of the valves 30 of the cells 51 and 52, and the withdrawal of syringe plunger 55 by manual movement of the plate 57, the contents of the two cells 51 and 52 may be drawn into the barrel 54 of the syringe 50 and mixed. Thus, the contents of one of the cells may be in the form of a granulated medication constituent such as a solute. Alternatively, the medications housed in mutual isolation in the two cells may be both in a liquid state. The cells may either be left in a mounted configuration upon the syringe or removed for ejection. When the two cells are left upon the syringe, their valves 50 are rotated so as to provide for the free flow of fluid through their conduits 27 unimpeded by the valves. By actuation of the syringe plunger the mixed medication may now be ejected from the syringe 50 through the channels 27 of the two cells 51 and 52 to ambiance or the cells dismounted and the mixed medication ejected to ambiance from the syringe coupler 26.
The versatility of the embodiment shown in FIG. 3 is quite pronounced. For example, instead of two cells it will be noted that one, three or even more cells may be independently selected and mounted in piggy-back fashion to a syringe for mixing their constituents together after having been stored and without fear of blowback. Mixing ratios may be easily measured by reference to the calibrations marked on the barrel exterior during medication withdrawal from each cell.
It thus is seen that a syringe and syringe accessory in the form of one or more cells is provided which overcomes problems and limitations of the prior art. It should, however, be understood that the just described embodiments merely illustrate principles of the invention in two preferred forms. Many modifications, additions and deletions other than those expressly suggested may, of course, be made thereto without departure from the spirit and scope of the invention as set forth in the following claims.

Youth Movement Member of "November 7" on Hunger Strike for the Release of Political Prisoners
It is already been six days that, Ilia Tsurtsumia, a member of the group "November 7" has been starving himself in front of the Khobi culture house. This has all been an effort in demanding the release of political prisoners.
In 2007, Tsurtsumia himself was a political prisoner after being arrested for resisting the head of police. It now been eight months since his release and now he wants to change the lack of attention that political prisoners are given in Georgia.
"I decided to initiate a hunger strike because as it currently stands in Georgia, there are no pre-determined conditions for the release of political prisoners. There have been many attempts but unfortunately no results. A lack of results will continue until the whole Georgia demands their release." said Tsurtsumia. He plans to starve until his health can no longer bear it.

Rush Announce 2015 Tour Dates, Includes St. Paul Show
Rush have been going back and forth on the subject of a 2015 tour for more than a month now.
Rush have been going back and forth on the subject of a 2015 tour for more than a month now.
To the bemused surprise of many longtime fans (and the band members themselves), Rush has become "cool" in the States in recent years, receiving everything from their own well-reviewed documentary to the cover of Rolling Stone and enshrinement in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
It looks like the Rush touring machine might be shifting back in gear for 2015.
Rush's massive 'R40' box packs in plenty of rare and unreleased material -- and if you buy the 'Completist' version of the set, there's even more where that came from.
After 40 years in the spotlight, you'd think there's nothing left to know about Rush.
Rush's first 14 albums are returning to vinyl in 2015 -- and they're getting hi-def audio upgrades too.
Now that they've finished taking their year-long vacation, what's next for the guys in Rush?
Judging solely in superficial terms, 1989's 'Presto' is a minor offering in Rush's massive discography.
Though it moved far afield, a new Twitter Q&A with Rush's Geddy Lee did touch on a few musical topics -- in between those about, say, bandmate Neil Peart's scent after a concert.
Alex Lifeson may have spoken too soon.
Rush's drummer says that band's vaults are empty.
Rush have made an awful lot of music over the years, so it's no surprise that guitarist Alex Lifeson doesn't have the sharpest recollection of the early unreleased performances the band unearthed for its new 'R40' box.

A startling new detective story by the author of Shadowed by Three.
ene of the "great Diamond robbery," lies a little east from the town, away from the clamor of its mills, and the contamination of its canaille.
It is a beautiful old place, built upon a slight elevation, surrounded by stately old trees, with a wide sweep of well-kept lawn, bordered with rose thickets, and dotted here and there with great clumps of tall syringas, white lilacs, acacias, and a variety of ornamental trees and flowering shrubs.
The mansion stands some distance from the road, and is reached by a broad, sweeping drive and two footpaths that approach from opposite directions.
In the rear are orchard and gardens, and beyond these a grassy slope that curves down to meet the river, that is ever hurrying townward to seize the great mill wheels and set them sweeping round and round.
The mansion itself is a large, roomy edifice, built by a master architect. It at once impresses one with a sense of its true purpose: a home, stately, but not stiff, abounding in c
Wow! This is some mystery. Densely and complexly plotted; full of complications, interesting characters, layered secrets and nefarious schemes; fast paced a real page turner. It begins with a burglary and a runaway marriage and progresses through blackmail, murder and trumped-up accusation. Heiresses, hidden identities and disguised detectives all feature. There's some thwarted romance, for good measure.
Some of the plot devices have become cliches since 1882, but probably hadn't when this was written, and anyway, there are so many things going on, it doesn't matter you won't puzzle them all out till the very end.

Oh this was a great story. Absolutely loved the truth in how the relationship between mother and daughter comes around.
"Even better than Shanghai Girls!"
Way, way up there!
It was so realistic but unpredictable.
Personality, flavor, accents. She is fantastic at making it real and keeping the reader entertained.
"A new understanding of famine"
In these present times when I take for granted the surplus of food and the daily struggle to not ingest too many calories, it is good to be reminded of true hunger and the survival it entails. I appreciate Lisa See's books since every one has been an eye opener to a way of life completely alien to my own. They are travel logs to Chinese history in perfect story form. The insights are as equally strong as the story line, which are solidly and smoothly integrated.
Mother of three wonderful girls! I love to listen to audiobooks during my commute. Love to hear about any good books.
"Did not disappiont"
I really enjoyed "Shanghai Girls" and this was a great ending to a great story. The characters come full circle in this book. The story also gives a vivid look at the beginnings of communist China. Beautiful story of the relationships between mothers and daughters, fathers and daughters, great loves, lost loves, and new loves.
"You Need to Read The First 2"
I think a bit of a retrospective would help those who haven't read the other books.
Life and Death in Shanghai.
No I didn't think she did it as well as she did with the other 2 books.
I think it was worth it to me because I am going to China next week and needed a refresher on Mao.
"Must read sequel"
This is a sequel to Shanghai Girls. It is almost an essential read because Shanghai Girls leaves the story open.
Overall, this is very depressing. Communism taking over China and the abuse of the original idea.
But it is also heartwarming the depth of love, dedication and determination to strive for happiness.
"A very moving story"
I haven't read the print version but the story is excellent so I am sure the print version is also.
The history.
I listened to 'Shanghi Girls' first then this one.
Rose. She was able to tell most all sides of the story.
At times this story was emotionally draining because the story seemed so real.
No. I rarely listen to books again.
That joy and GZ were found at the beginning of the book. Suddenly it wasn't a book about finding them. . . So I was intrigued.
"Loved it"
Wasn't predictable. I learned so much about history and life.
Pearl, even though she is so serious.
Excellent! A pleasure to hear!
I certainly could of taken it at one time, but I liked breaking it into several days to digest what was happening to them. Lots to ponder!
"A Horrific Story of China's History"
I loved Janet Song's narration. She did an excellent job and that is what made me want to listen and continue with the book. This book was not as good as the one before it, Shanghai Girls. I found it to be rather depressing and hard to believe at times. If you have read the first, than by all means read this one.

Effectiveness of psychosocial treatments on suicidality in personality disorders.
ABSTRACT Axis II disorders, particularly borderline personality disorder, are highly associated with suicidal behaviours. This paper aims to evaluate treatment of suicidality in borderline personality disorder.
Systematic review of the empirical literature on the clinical effectiveness of psychosocial treatments in reducing suicidal behaviours in patients with personality disorders. A summary of empirical findings is presented, and recommendations for clinical practice are offered.
While there is currently a dearth of well-controlled treatment trials, interest in this field of research is growing, and several recent randomized controlled trials support the effectiveness of certain interventions.
Several different types of psychosocial interventions are associated with reductions in suicidal behaviour.

ABSTRACT: The primary objective of this review article is to provide a coherent, systematic synthesis of the literature on the management of suicidality in schizophrenia that is relevant to the front-line clinician. Literature searches were conducted on MEDLINE (1996 to 2007) and PubMed (1993 to 2007), using the key words "schizophrenia" and "suicide," as well as references from the resulting articles. I used my own clinical experience to create fictional case examples to illustrate the applicability of the literature discussed in this paper. Suicidality in schizophrenia is high, and early detection relies on the appreciation and evaluation of the clinical manifestations of depression, despair, and hopelessness, as well as on the nature and severity of the psychotic experience itself, particularly in recent-onset patients with higher cognitive function and educational background. Clinical management includes ensuring immediate safety, the use of psychosocial techniques to address depression and psychosocial stressors, targeted pharmacotherapy for depression and psychosis, and adequate discharge planning. Clozapine is the only antipsychotic with good evidence for efficacy in decreasing suicidal behaviour in schizophrenia. The optimal management of suicidality in schizophrenia involves the incorporation of traditional bedside clinical skills, selection of psychosocial modalities based on individual needs, and selective pharmacotherapy directed primarily at psychotic and depressive symptoms.Canadian journal of psychiatry.

ABSTRACT: This is Part 1 of a 2-part review of suicidal behaviour in children and adolescents. Part 1 explores the phenomenology and epidemiology of suicide in children and adolescents. Systematic review of the literature since 1966. Behaviours included within this spectrum are discussed and differentiated. The literature regarding the impact of demographic, social, and psychological risk factors is summarized. Suicide rates in youth are declining, but the reasons are speculative. Suicidal behaviour comprises a spectrum with differing frequencies and risk factors. While some risk factors are fixed, such as age and family history, others, such as psychiatric illness and stressors, may be amenable to intervention.Canadian journal of psychiatry.

ISLAMABAD, Pakistan (AP) — A former Pakistani spy who helped the Taliban rise to power in Afghanistan has died in militant captivity 10 months after he was seized in northwest Pakistan, a top official said Monday.
Sultan Amir Tarar, who as an American ally against Soviet rule in Afghanistan in the 1980s trained at Fort Bragg, N.C., died of a heart attack, said Tariq Hayat, the most senior government representative in the tribal regions.
Mr. Tarar was kidnapped along with a British TV journalist who was released in September and another former spy, Khalid Khawaja, who was executed by his captors in April. It is unclear why the two men traveled to the northwest, but they may have been acting as guides to the reporter.
Mr. Tarar's life personified some of the deep complexities of U.S. and Pakistani policies toward insurgents in the region.
His death in militant captivity was also shrouded in uncertainty, but appeared to indicate the extent to which some insurgents in the northwest had abandoned any loyalties to Pakistani intelligence agencies that nurtured an earlier generation of fighters.
Mr. Tarar, who was better known as Col. Imam and usually seen wearing a white turban and army camouflage jacket, played a major role in funneling Pakistani support and training to Afghans fighting Soviet rule in the 1980s, a push in large part financed by the CIA.
After the Soviets withdrew, he continued to be Pakistan's point man with the Taliban, which were seen by Islamabad as allies. He provided the movement with arms, funding and training and was known to be close to Mullah Omar. He and Mr. Khawaja remained publicly sympathetic to the Afghan Taliban and Mullah Omar since the movement's downfall in 2001 in the U.S.-led invasion.
Some media reports have said Mr. Tarar maintained operational ties with the Afghan insurgents in recent years, which he denied. In interviews before his kidnapping, he had spoken of the need to negotiate with the Afghan Taliban to end the almost 10-year war.
The two presumably felt their background and Islamist views offered some protection while traveling in northwest Pakistan. The region is now home to militants battling the Pakistani state, including its intelligence agencies and al Qaeda leaders also hostile to the pro-U.S. regime in Pakistan. Afghan Taliban factions fighting in Afghanistan that do not directly target the Pakistani state are also based there.
A previously unknown militant group calling itself the Asian Tigers initially said it had seized the men. Analysts speculated the captors were a new breed of militants who had turned against their former protectors.
In July, Mr. Tarar appeared in a video saying he was being held by another group and that it was demanding the release of prisoners held by the government in exchange for his release.
Mr. Tarar's death was first reported Sunday, but officials could not confirm it. He was believed held in North Waziristan, a region bordering Afghanistan that is under effective militant control.
Mr. Hayat, the government official, said authorities were "sure that he is dead" but that militants still had Mr. Tarar's body. He said the captors, whom he did not identify, were demanding more than $200,000 for its return.
Mr. Tarar had very close ties with the U.S. during the Soviet occupation. He trained at Fort Bragg and gave personal tours of the border region to several Congressmen, including Charlie Wilson, who drove American financial support to Afghan militiamen then regarded by Washington as freedom fighters, said Roy Gutman in his book "How We Missed the Story: Osama bin Laden, the Taliban and the Hijacking of Afghanistan."
According to Mr. Gutman, the Reagan administration presented Mr. Tarar with a plaque mounted with a piece of the Berlin Wall that read: "Dedicated to Colonel Imam. With deepest respect to one who helped deliver the first blow."

The logistics of moving 18,000 cattle 1,500km on foot
South East farmer and pastoralist Tom Brinkworth has a history of doing things on a big scale and his latest enterprise is no exception.
- Print page
- Email this
- Permalink
A month or two back, Tom Brinkworth made the largest cattle purchase by an individual in recent memory - sourcing 18,000 heifers from the Australian Agricultural Company in the Northern Territory.
Under the deal, they've been delivered to Longreach in Queensland, and from there drovers are moving the cattle 1500km on foot to Hay in southern New South Wales using the old stock routes.
"It gets down to having enough good people and really, we have about nine mobs of cattle of about 2,000," Mr Brinkworth told Breakfast.
"One bloke's in charge of each mob of cattle and he has three or four people helping him and he's sort of independent but dependent on the others...the distance apart and where we find feed."
Mr Brinkworth said Bill Little has been supervising the operation, with individual drovers given a route to take.
Mr Brinkworth said the operation has attracted interest and enquiries.
"It's a unique opportunity, it's probably once in a hundred years that it's happened - possibly never happen again."
"No jobs been done like it, virtually for the last one hundred years...and a lot of the stock routes haven't been used much at all and there's been controversy up that way but it's all working out quite well."
Mr Brinkworth said it will take between five and six months to reach the destination.

Respond to Review of Govinda's - Edogawa-ku
by JesseD
Review: If you're a member of ISKCON (often known in the west as Hare Krishnas, for their chant) then this is obviously the place to come, with the temple attached. As a vegan, however, I feel like I'm intruding on the temple, with virtually all other customers coming to eat after visiting the temple, and (as with most ISKCON institutions) little interest in or support for vegans. On my most recent visit (the weekend buffet) two out of the four main dishes were vegan (but they are never labelled). Moments after asking about which curries contained dairy, the friendly waiter appeared with breads, and after I explained about not eating dairy (again) he confirmed that the nan contained milk, so took it away (leaving the hopefully-vegan dosa). Then a few minutes later he re-appeared with roti instead - a nice thought, but not much better since they were all smeared with butter (or ghee). He gave up after that. It does call into question how vegan the so-called vegan curries are. The curries were typical ISKCON fare - not bad but a little bland and watery, especially the sambar. They had real basmati rice, but only white rice. The salad didn't have any dressing. I also tried the a la carte menu a few months ago, and had a so-so Masala Dosa. It wasn't bad, but not a touch on the fresh and flavoursome masala dosas and other South Indian food at Vege Herb Saga, where vegan options are labelled on the menu. If you're wanting a simple, filling buffet dinner in the weekend, and don't mind navigating the ghee and cream, it may be worth the trip out to Funabori, but the (lunch) buffet at Nattaraj is more delicious, healthier, more vegan-friendly and half the price, and less far to travel from most locations in Tokyo.

Ample parking
Very clean
Modern interior
Air conditioned rooms
Gym next to sauna and very humid and hot
Outdated and partially defunct gym equipment
Restaurant overpriced
Nice hotel, very clean, and close to the airport. Good value.
I didn't get a wake up call and missed the first shuttle to the airport. Fortunately, I made the second one and made my flight. Limited lunch menu - spaghetti bolognesa.
Quiet and relaxing
Hard to find the Free shuttle. Had to ask at the Airport Help desk, then it was easy and convenient .
Limited airport shuttle service, stops at 10 pm. I arrived at 10:30 and had to take taxi. Extra cost. Sheraton is at airport
I picked this hotel because it listed having an airport shuttle. But the shuttle did not run om the days we needed it (does not run on weekends)
Good location and good restaurant
There was no air conditioning and it said there was wifi. What it didnt say is the wifi was for only half an hour before they wanted money. Also, after logging in I got google warnings that my account was trying to be hacked by someone in Moscow.
Proximity to the airport
No AC in the rooms, staff was not friendly, breakfast is not included in the price, shower leaks on the floor making it slippery and dangerous
Very nice room! Great location! Right next to subway station. Only five minutes walk through the park to Altstadt.
Fine attention to detail. All that a traveller could ask for was supplied in the room. All employees were friendly and helpful.
Wing chairs in the room need reupholstering--sagging and uncomfortable.
Ideal position for airport & Messe Brilliant transport links
we arrived late due to Autobahn closure--with 4 adults and 3 young grandchildren.We were weary,but the hotel staff was amazing--assigned us the ideal room arrangement and helped in every way possible+ a covered walkway to the terminal the next morning!
nothing--all was absolutely perfect!

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 tons 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 rentals 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.
