Expat: Women's True Tales of Life Abroadby Christina Henry de Tessan
It's one thing to travel abroad--to stay in charming hotels and deliberate over whether to visit this museum or relax at that café, even to head off the beaten track for a glimpse of "real" life--and another thing altogether to move to another country. Expat chronicles the experiences of twenty-two ordinary women living extraordinary lives in outposts as far flung as Borneo, Ukraine, India, Greece, Brazil, China and the Czech Republic. In vivid detail, these writers share how the realities of life abroad match up to the expat fantasy. One woman negotiates the rough courtesies of Serbia, finding lives limned by harshness and an insurmountable spirit. Another is tutored on English manners by an eclectic bunch from Liverpool: "The cardinal sin in America is to be insincere, whereas the cardinal sin in England is to be boring." For some, their new home prompts them to reconnect or confront lost parts of themselves: One woman rediscovers her Judaism--in Japan; another writer's Western outlook is challenged by Javanese mysticism. Many share their own naïve blunders and private confessions: a Thanksgiving dinner that doesn't translate in Paris, a sudden yearning for bad Hollywood films. And all discover that what it means to be "American" is redefined, again and again. Expat taps into the bewilderment, the joys and surprises of life overseas, where the challenges often take unexpected forms and the obstacles overcome are all the more triumphant. Featuring an astonishing range of perspectives, destinations and circumstances, this collection offers a beautiful portrait of expatriate life.
Forever Parisby Christina Henry de Tessan
Take a stroll through Édith Piaf's Belleville, dine at Napoléon's favorite restaurant, and explore the late-night haunts of Ernest Hemingway, Josephine Baker, and Pablo Picasso. From the author of the best-selling City Walks: Paris deck, this lively collection of walking adventures follows in the footsteps of more than 25 of the city's iconic former residents. Throughout, Paris is seen from the intimate vantage point of those who loved it best, from the bars where authors penned classic works to the markets and patisseries where food lovers indulged. Including photos and full-color maps throughout, each walk in this book guides visitors and locals through the city that inspired some of the world's most famous artists, writers, chefs, musicians, politicians, and more.
Go Your Own Wayby Christina Henry de Tessan Faith Conlon Ingrid Emerick
There is nothing quite like hitting the road by yourself to awaken your senses, sharpen your mind, and build your confidence. In twenty-three beautifully crafted essays, women recount the thrills of traveling solo.Despite threat-assessment levels and airport-security hassles, women of all generations are traveling more freely and independently than ever before. In that go-for-it spirit, Go Your Own Way spans the globe: adventure diva Holly Morris finds herself lost in the jungles of Borneo, alone with her thoughts and a cold-blooded companion; Lara Triback's quest to learn the tango takes her to the late-night dance floors of Buenos Aires; Stephanie Griest finds female friends invaluable in her journey through Uzbekistan; and Amy Balfour recounts a hilarious trek up Yosemite's Half Dome.The writers in Go Your Own Way pay tribute to the empowerment of independent adventure and discovery, offering up the perfect antidote for today's climate of fear and international discord. All the while, they show that alone doesn't have to mean lonely.

One of the most recognized and ubiquitous symbols of Lord Shiva is the trishula, the trident. It is fairly common, in Shaivite iconography, to have anthropomorphic forms of Shiva represented with trishula in hand. It is also not uncommon to see the trishula alongside Shiva's aniconic (Linga) form. On rare occasions, one even finds the trishula is Shiva's very representation in the absence of any other. The trishula is such a powerful symbol of the Lord that when one sees the trishula, one thinks of Shiva.
About Lord Shiva
Along with Brahma, the creator, and Vishnu, the protector, Shiva makes up one third of the trinity of Hindu gods. Shiva is the destroyer and regenerator, and is one of the oldest gods of India. There have been images of Shiva found in India, which date back as far as 2500 BC.
Shiva is destroyed creation after every Kalpa, while simultaneously becoming the great ascetic, preserving the world with his meditation. In fact, Shiva is often called the Destroyer, though it is more accurate to consider him the God of Transformation, as his associations are mostly tied to the creation spawned from destruction, rather than the destruction itself.

Taste - amazing definitely 5 stars. But I baked and had to take it out after 50 minutes and it was probably a bit overdone. I don't know if we 'foamed' the eggs too much, but it was hard to incorporate into the syrup, I stirred for several minutes and finally just put it in the pie pan, but it made enough for a deep dish even though the recipe said use a normal pie shell. Well, that was ok because we made some mini pies. Probably because the foamy top, it got a hard crust on the top that was tasty, but very crunchy making it hard to cut. I will try it again beating the eggs less and baking a shorter time because the taste was worth it. Thanks OW! Made for My 3 Chefs 2012.

DQ0217/01B Ophthalmic Glasses
These sunglasses are the perfect accessory on the beach, on the way to the office or in the city. There is only one slight drawback: all the envious looks you will attract. Would another colour not be a better match for your favourite outfit? Check also the other styles of DQ0217in our 2015, and 2016 Dsquared range.
With no frills and state-of-the-art materials and craftsmanship, these men's glasses stand for stylish design and self-confidence. Full rim frames completely enclose the lenses within the frame. For a convinced eyeglass wearer, any other frame style is ruled out, with very few exceptions. Plastic is a very lightweight and flexible material. This ensures a long life and a high level of comfort. Black eyeglasses are a must-have. They can be combined with anything and refine any style. Whether at your desk, in a club or at a fashion show - black always fits. The fact that the colour grey matches everything, also applies to sunglass lenses. They suit everything in your wardrobe and never go out of fashion. This brand of sunglasses, of course, also provides your eyes with optimum UV400 protection.
The next shipment is on its way, so we will have your Dsquared back in stock very soon. We hope the unbelievably low price will be a consolation for the short wait. In our online shop we have consistently low prices. You won't get DQ0217 at such a low price, not even in the sale.

Hypoprothrombinemia Medication
- Author: J Nathan Hagstrom, MD; Chief Editor: Robert J Arceci, MD, PhD more...
Medication Summary
The treatment of hypoprothrombinemia depends on the underlying etiology. Numerous products that provide prothrombin are available.
Hemostatic agents
Class Summary
Vitamin K can be administered intravenously or orally. Slowly administer intravenous infusions over 10-20 minutes. In addition, premedicating the patient with diphenhydramine (Benadryl) may be helpful. The only current oral formulation of vitamin K available in the United States is in tablet form; however, a liquid formulation has been developed and is currently being used in Europe and Japan.
Acquired hypoprothrombinemia due to vitamin K deficiency is treated with vitamin K1 (phytonadione). In the presence of severe or life-threatening bleeding, frozen plasma or prothrombin-complex concentrates are administered to immediately increase the levels of vitamin K–dependent coagulation factors. Other clotting factors (eg, concentrate of clotting factors II, VII, IX, and X [Proplex T]) may also be required. Solvent-detergent–treated frozen plasma is now available.
Epsilon aminocaproic acid (Amicar) can be used to minimize the severity of mucosal bleeding and enhances hemostasis when fibrinolysis contributes to bleeding. Amicar is especially useful in acquired hypoprothrombinemia secondary to anti–factor II circulating antibodies because of the immediate neutralization of prothrombin upon infusing plasma or prothrombin-complex concentrates.
For inherited hypoprothrombinemia, concentrates of prothrombin complex (eg, Autoplex T) are used. No recombinant factor II product is available.
Aminocaproic acid (Amicar)
A 6-aminohexanoic acid that inhibits fibrinolysis by inhibiting plasminogen activator substances and, to some degree, antiplasmin activity.
Anti-inhibitor coagulant complex (Feiba VH Immuno)
Prothrombin-complex concentrates contain vitamin K–dependent clotting factors. Prepared from pooled normal human plasma. Some products contain more activated factors than others. Presence of activated factors increases risk of thromboembolic complications.
Phytonadione (AquaMEPHYTON, Mephyton)
Promotes liver synthesis of clotting factors. Aqueous colloidal solution of vitamin K1 for parenteral injection. This form has same activity as naturally occurring vitamin K. Vitamin K is essential cofactor for microsomal enzyme that catalyzes posttranslational carboxylation of several specific peptide-bound glutamic acid residues in inactive hepatic precursors of vitamin K–dependent factors. Results in gamma-carboxyglutamic acid residues necessary for calcium-dependent phospholipid membrane binding.
Fresh frozen plasma
Plasma is fluid compartment of blood that contains soluble clotting factors. For use in patients with deficiencies of blood products. Indications include bleeding in patients with congenital coagulation defects and deficiencies of multiple coagulation factors (severe liver disease).

Some Web sites still don't get it. They behave as if broadband has already arrived, delivering large graphics, video, audio, and animation. The reality is that for the average consumer, broadband access is at least five years away.
On the surface, broadband use is undergoing healthy growth. According to the U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC), the number of American broadband subscribers doubled in the last year. Digital subscriber line (DSL) use grew by 1.5 million new lines for a growth rate of 435 percent. Cable added 2.2 million new lines, or a growth of 153 percent.
But the broadband industry is in turmoil. Broadband service providers are going out of business at an alarming rate. "Regular readers know that Business Week SmallBiz has been warning for months about the shaky finances at some of the biggest vendors of high-speed Web service," stated an August 9 Business Week article. It goes on to discuss the latest broadband victim, Covad Communications, which had 330,000 customers. Those 330,000 customers constitute over 20 percent of the 1.5 million subscriber growth noted by the FCC.
Covad joins a list of bankrupt broadband companies, including Rhythms NetConnections, Winstar Communications, NorthPoint Communications, and PSINet. When NorthPoint Communications went bust a few months ago, AT&T acquired its business, minus the customer base. NorthPoint's customers were mainly smaller Internet service providers (ISPs), and AT&T claimed that such customers were expensive to service and often delayed payment.
Globally the broadband story is no different. According to a report published in April by NetValue, South Korea is the only country where more than 50 percent of households have access to the Internet at speeds equal to or faster than DSL. According to NetValue, 11 percent of American households have broadband access, and in Europe 5 percent of German, 4 percent of French, and 3 percent of British households have such access.
The question is, If there is such a demand for broadband, why is the penetration so low, and why are so many broadband companies going bust? There are two connected reasons. First, it's a lot more expensive to install and run broadband services than was originally estimated. Second, the price the customer is being charged is too low.
Will the customer pay significantly more for broadband? It depends on the customer. Businesses that can become more efficient by using broadband will pay more. Ordinary households will require a lot more convincing. To them, the Internet is fast enough. Or, to put it another way, they can live with the slower speeds rather than having to fork out extra money every month. The bottom line is that a great majority of people have no compelling reason to pay a lot of money to get broadband.
This all means that for a long time to come the Internet will remain a multimedia-poor, text-rich environment for the average person. But then the average person has never seen the Internet as a place to go to for a broadband experience. Most people are there for the text. All the other bandwidth-hungry stuff they can get already on their TVs, with their computer games, in their magazines, or at movie theaters. They like the Web for the simple but powerful reason that it allows them find out stuff.

Public meetings on Southeast Alaska transportation options begin Monday (Sept. 26). Some of the plans up for review would drastically change ferry service or increase road mileage in the region.
Imagine a ferry system with no service to the Lower-48 or across the Gulf of Alaska. How about where vessels operate until they wear out and aren't replaced? Or one with an expanded highway system connected with shuttle ferries but no mainliners.
Those are among the six options proposed for the Southeast Alaska Transportation Plan. They will be presented and discussed in about a dozen public meetings over the next month in the region's main cities. (A wrap-up of the options is posted at the bottom of this page.)
Transportation Department Southeast Planning Chief Andy Hughes says it's an important part of preparing for the future.
"Some alternatives reduce existing excess vehicle deck capacity. Some increase reliance on roads over longer ferry routes. Some focus on comfort over service, and others service over comfort," he says.
Hughes says ferries carry about 43 percent of traffic within the region, and planes carry the rest.
But only about 8 percent of travel to Seattle is via the ferry. And only about two percent of cross-gulf travelers use the marine highway.
"Looking at those figures we kind of have to ask ourselves how important is it to the residents of Southeast Alaska to improve and retain some of those ferry links versus improving the frequency of service between communities within the region," he says.
So one of the options eliminates Bellingham and Whittier sailings. Another replaces several mainliners with smaller Alaska Class Ferries, which lack staterooms.
Another calls for no major changes or improvements, which would be an issue for older ships.
"As one of those vessels reaches a point of a failure, to the point where it's too expensive for us to deal with it, that vessel ceases to be serviceable, the system contracts and the level of service we offer within and between regions declines," he says.
Another option maintains what's there now, keeping ferries, roads and airports about the same. Yet another changes ferry schedules based on ridership history.
All, except the no-action alternative, cost a lot of money – from $1.5 billion to $2.2 billion – over the next 20 years.
That's a problem, because the plan estimates the region will only have a third, to less than a quarter, of those totals for transportation projects over the same time period.
Hughes says it makes sense to plan beyond what's affordable.
"We need to have a program that also exceeds what our target is just so we're in line to compete successfully for the available funding opportunities as they arise," he says.
But in reality, federal dollars – a large part of road-and-ferry funding – could shrink instead of grow for at least part of that time.
The first meeting is in Juneau. The last one is in Angoon. Details are on the Department of Transportation's Southeast Region website.

Project details
Total cost:EUR 1 499 223,6
EU contribution:EUR 1 499 223,6

"Long distance migration in birds is among the most dramatic and exciting phenomena in nature. However despite many years of study, there are still huge gaps in our understanding of how this behaviour shapes individual ecology and influences population processes. For example, we have very little understanding of how migratory animals manage trade offs within and among seasons and how these in turn drive variation in productivity, survival or breeding phenology. Increased understanding in this area has important implications for ecology, evolution conservation and management
Our lack of progress in this area is almost inevitable given the complex nature of migration. Migration is sequential in nature, meaning that an animal's state in one season is heavily influenced by previous conditions. Therefore the costs/benefits of behaviours can be carried over into subsequent seasons and thus the processes regulating fitness may not occur at the time it is being expressed. This also means that regulating processes and response can also be separated spatially making it even harder to identify cause. These effects are likely to be emphasized in migrants because fuelling flights and breeding also places huge physiological demands on migratory birds. Yet few studies have linked the stress incurred during migration with subsequent fitness. Integrating mechanism and function would provide very important insights into the ecology and evolution of migration. In order to progress we need to able to follow large numbers of individuals throughout their annual cycles, tracking the different conditions they experience and how this influences their state at each point in time. I would use state of the art technologies and statistical tools to follow migratory geese throughout the year and integrate, for the first time, how interactions among physiological, social, ecological and climatic environments underpin state and in turn fitness across the annual cycle."

Part One
The story begins with a castle overlooking a village.
Sue: Is this one going to be a period drama? We haven't had one of those for ages.
Inside the castle's Tower, Sue is immediately drawn to Aukon.
Sue: It's Fish from Marillion.
Me: Are you insane?
Sue: If Fish had a beard and a wig he would be the spitting double of him. It's uncanny – it's the eyeliner that does it.
In a tavern, Ivo is preparing his villagers for an imminent inspection. At the very last moment, he tries (and fails) to shield his own son from the selection process.
Sue: Is this Schnidler's List meets Thor?
Me: A bit.
On the TARDIS, the Doctor and Romana have decided to investigate a nearby planet so they can ask for directions.
K9: Atmosphere and gravity approximate closely to Earth normal.
Sue: How handy is that? I'm not complaining though, it means we can go outside and we won't be stuck in a studio for four episodes.
As the TARDIS travels through space.
Sue: Why is E-space green?
And later…
Sue: Did Doctor Who fans buy Espace people movers in the 1980s? I bet they bloody did.
Romana's latest outfit gets the thumb's up.
Sue: I like it. She looks like she's heading out for a nice country lunch. Very smart. Why doesn't the Doctor change his coat any more? He's been wearing that burgundy number a lot. He must stink a bit.
The TARDIS materialises on the planet.
The Doctor: It's awfully nice out there, K9.
Sue: (As K9) I wouldn't know, master, you never let me out. You are a very bad master, master, and I ****ing hate you.
The Doctor and Romana walk to the tavern. The captain of the Tower guards, a man named Habris, falls over himself to help them.
Habris: My lord, how may I serve you?
Sue: This makes a lovely change to being arrested for something they haven't done. I bet the Doctor won't know how to react to this. Ooh, that's a nice willow fence they have over there.
As you know, Sue is easily distracted by wood.
When the Doctor and Romana leave the tavern, Ivo reaches for a walkie-talkie.
Sue: Nice twist. The plot thickens. Is this a medieval theme park where all the robots are out of control?
If you didn't already know, Sue is obsessed with Westworld.
Huzzah! The adorable Adric is back.
Sue: Adric reminds me of Nicol's ex-boyfriend.
I spill hot tea into my lap.
Me: Nicol's going to love that!
Nicol's ex-boyfriend looks like Adric in much the same way that Aukon looks like Fish. In other words, not at all.
Sue: Do you know what this story reminds me of?
Me: Go on.
I brace myself.
Sue: Zelda.
Me: What? Again?
Sue: It's not just the music this time, it's the whole thing. We just had a little cut scene where an old man gave them some information about their quest, and now they're walking down the lane towards their next mission. They should be picking up gold coins or little hearts as they go.
Me: Let me get this straight: of all the things this story could be referring to, you think it's Zelda, the video game series from Nintendo?
Sir Christopher Frayling will have a fit.
In the Tower, Sue gives the three who rule the once-over:
Sue: Siouxsie Sioux.
Sue: Russell Brand.
And Aukon.
Sue: Fish!
Me: He doesn't look like Fish.
The Doctor and Romana encounter a group of rebels hiding in a cave. They are led by an old man named Kalmar.
Sue: He's the first bald man I've seen with dreadlocks. That's a great look. Bobby Charlton should have tried that look. I like his Fernando Torres headband, too.
The three who rule protect the villagers from something called the Wasting.
Sue: This reminds me of The Neverending Story.
Me: Does it? I've never seen it.
Sue: You've never seen The Neverending Story?!
Me: No.
Sue: You have to watch it. In fact, I insist on it. (Singing) "The Neverending Story!" Trust me, you'll love it. It's got something called the Nothing in it and it reminds me of this.
Me: I'll have to take your word for it. You think Aukon looks like Fish.
Adric arrives at the tavern looking for the Doctor and Romana.
Sue: Look at him – look at that huge grin on his little face. He can't believe his luck. This is his dream job.
Me: What? Working at a tavern?
Sue: No – working on Doctor Who. Look at him. He ****ing loves it.
Adric helps himself to some food.
Sue: He's a growing lad. I just want to mother him.
Oh dear God.
The cave rebels are surrounded by antiquated computer equipment, which Romana eventually gets working again.
Sue: It's Ceefax.
The computer tells them that a spaceship called Hydrax left planet Earth and presumably fell into a CVE before crashing onto the planet.
Sue: This is heating up quite nicely now. I'm getting more intrigued by the second.
The Doctor and Romana set off for the Tower as night falls. A bat bites the Doctor on the neck.
Sue: Will he turn into a vampire in this story? How will he get the fangs in? His teeth are massive as it is.
The episode concludes with the Doctor and Romana attacked by a colony of bats.
Sue: That wasn't the greatest cliffhanger in the world. We get bats up here at the time. I don't see what all the fuss is about. It doesn't help that they are throwing plastic bats onto the floor, either. They should have stuck with the stock footage and fudged it. Oh well, the rest of the episode was pretty good. I won't let it spoil things for me.
Part Two
When the bats return in the recap, Sue has just the answer:
Sue: Use your catapult on them. You know, like in Zelda.
The bats bugger off.
Sue: I don't like it when cliffhangers just resolve themselves like that without anybody doing anything clever. It feels like a cheat.
Meanwhile, Adric has settled into his new job at the tavern.
Sue: What is he doing? Why is he working at a medieval Wagamamas? Why doesn't he just **** off back to the TARDIS? He could chill out with K9, watch a bit of telly, have a snooze. Why is he subjecting himself to this? The free bread can't be that good.
Aukon enters the tavern in search of fresh blood.
Sue: (Singing) "Lavender's blue, dilly dilly…"
Me: He doesn't look like Fish!
When Aukon inspects Adric you can cut the sexual tension with a bread knife.
Sue: I bet this is what Matthew's audition was like.
The Doctor and Romana arrive at the Tower.
Sue: I must say, the sets are beautiful. The BBC are great at this kind of thing. Hey, I've just noticed that Romana is wearing leg warmers. How 1980s can you get?
Me: Did you have a pair?
Sue: Of course I did. Didn't you?
Me: I still wear them from time to time, but they tend to sag a lot nowadays.
Sue: Story of your life.
Fish brings Adric to the Tower so he can be admired by Siouxsie and Russell.
Sue: This is a bit… you know… isn't it?
Back at the cave, the rebels are too frightened to overthrown their oppressors; Kalmar urges them to wait a little longer.
Sue: There's a theme running through this season.
I will bet you any money she's not thinking about entropy.
Sue: It's all about people who sit on their arses all day doing nothing. Same as last week.
Zargo's beard remains a source of fascination to Sue.
Sue: He looks like he should be a king on a pack of playing cards. Has anyone ever made a pack of cards based on this story?
Me: State of Decay playing cards? That's a bit niche.
Sue: A bit niche! I've been to Forbidden Planet, remember. The Doctor could be the joker.
The Doctor and Romana find a service hatch and they explore the Tower/spaceship.
Sue: This is very clever. Only in Doctor Who could you find a castle disguised as a rocket.
The Time Lords discover a room full of dead bodies.
Sue: That's a bit grim.
They follow some pipes that connect the corpses to a huge of vat of blood.
Sue: This is horrific. We haven't had a story like this for a while.
Me: They were supposed to make this story a few years back, but they had to put it on hold when the BBC made a prestigious version of Dracula and they didn't want Doctor Who sending it up.
Sue: I've missed stories like this. I don't think they are sending things up at all.
The Doctor suddenly smacks himself in the head.
Sue: Did a blood-sucking mosquito just land on his face?
The episode concludes with Aukon introducing the Doctor and Romana to his domain.
Sue: That wasn't even a proper cliffhanger. It was just a close-up of Fish's eyes.
Me: I give up.
Part Three
Sue is really enjoying State of Decay.
Sue: The script is very engaging and everyone is giving it their all. It's very good.
Aukon hypnotises the Doctor and Romana runs away. She breaks off a sharp stalagmite, which she then throws at Aukon.
Sue: I thought she was going to stake him in the heart with it. How disappointing.
The Doctor and Romana have both been chosen.
Sue: I bet the fans couldn't wait to see Camilla turn Romana.
The Doctor tells Romana about a time when vampires swarmed through the universe and where a single vampire could suck the life out of an entire planet.
Sue: That's just greedy.
In Gallifrey's distant past, the Time Lords hunted down and killed these vampires.
Sue: So the Time Lords were vampire slayers? Where the hell did that come from?
Romana: So they were all destroyed?
Sue: Apart from the ones who went on to appear in Buffy and Twilight. They managed to get away it seems.
And then something delightful happens.
Sue: It's Stuart Fell! Wait for it… Wait for it… There he goes! And yes, he fell very well.
Romana tells the Doctor that his TARDIS comes pre-installed with a copy of the Record of Rassillon.
The Doctor: (to Romana) You are wonderful.
Sue: Get a room.
Me: Funnily enough, they weren't getting on terribly well when they were making this story. In fact, there are whole scenes where they won't even look at each other.
Sue: Please don't spoil the illusion for me. I don't want to know.
The Doctor returns to his TARDIS, leaving Romana to deal with problem of Adric.
Sue: They both look genuinely annoyed that they have to deal with him. I'm not sure if that's acting or not.
Back in the TARDIS, the Doctor has a task for K9.
Sue: I'm surprised that K9 hasn't zapped the Doctor's slippers while he was out. That's what dogs do when they're bored, you know.
K9 accesses the TARDIS' memory banks.
Sue: Has he found an old episode of The Clangers in there? It sounds like he has.
Meanwhile, in the Tower, Romana finds Adric, who is out for the count.
Sue: I really hope that isn't Adric's new costume. He looks like a page boy.
The Doctor finds a command from Rassillon himself, buried deep inside the TARDIS data banks: Kill All Vampires.
Sue: Right, pause it, please. I don't get this at all. If that is the prime directive for all Time Lords, why hide it away like that? It took the Doctor 15 minutes to get at this instruction, and that's only because he was searching for it in the first place. It doesn't make any sense.
Romana and a rebel named Tarak try to wake Adric from his slumber.
Tarak: Maybe he's still under hypnosis?
Sue: No, that's just him acting.
The episode concludes with Camilla trying to get her claws into Romana.
Sue: Finally, a decent cliffhanger. I'm enjoying this.
Part Four
Sue can't get over Zargo's resemblance to Russell Brand, and when Aukon stops from him having his wicked way with Romana, Sue can't help herself:
Sue: (As Russell Brand) It's made Mr. Winky go right small it has. Oh yes!
Meanwhile, the Doctor is self-harming again.
Sue: Why does the Doctor keep hitting himself in the head really, really hard? He'll do himself a serious injury if he's not careful. Is this how he regenerates? Does he smack himself too hard on the side of the head?
Me: Don't be silly. What kind of stupid regeneration would that be?
Adric and Romana are held captive by the three who rule. They pass the time bickering.
Sue: That's not acting. Lalla Ward is really pissed off with him. I wouldn't want to get on the wrong side of Lalla Ward.
Meanwhile, the Doctor and the rebels plan their attack on the Tower.
Sue: Just send K9 in there. He could sort it out.
The Doctor takes Sue's advice and K9 leaves the TARDIS.
Sue: Finally!
K9 leads the battle for the Tower but Sue isn't feeling it.
Sue: I still miss Dudley. I don't like the incidental music very much and the fights aren't as good as they were in the 1970s either. They don't have the same care and attention lavished on them.
Adric pretends to switch sides.
Sue: I know Adric isn't great. I know that. But I can't help but like him. It's like we're watching a boy who has been thrown into the deep end and he's drowning.
The Time of Arising draws near.
Sue: I wish he would hurry up and get out of bed. There can't be very long left and I still haven't seen anything yet.
The rebels have taken the Tower and K9 sits on the throne.
Sue: How the hell did he get up there? I thought he wasn't allowed on the furniture?
The Great One's hand bursts through the floor.
Sue: The Great One doesn't look so great. What a pity.
The Doctor launches the rocket. It comes straight back down again and it stakes the Great Vampire in the heart. We think.
Sue: Nice idea. Bad execution. That was an anticlimax.
The three who rule crumble to dust.
Sue: Now that was excellent.
Ivo is forced to apologise to K9 for an outburst he made earlier.
Sue: John Nathan-Turner should apologise as well. K9 is brilliant. K9 kicks arse.
The story concludes with the Doctor wishing Kalmar luck when it comes to finding a way out of E-space.
Sue: The Doctor knows damn well that they are completely ****ed. Still, there's not much he can do about it, is there? Unless he wants to rent them some rooms on the TARDIS. What a downer.
The Doctor ushers Adric into the TARDIS.
The Doctor: You're going straight back to the Starliner.
Sue: Yeah, right.
The Final Score
Sue: The ending let it down. It was heading for an easy 8 at the end of Part Three but the last part didn't deliver. I know I shouldn't complain about crappy special effects but it was an anticlimax for me at the end. However, I loved the set design, the acting was pretty good and the story was very engaging. Yeah, it wasn't bad at all; Fish was really good.

The Magnuson-Moss Warranty—Federal Trade Commission Improvement Act, P.L. 93-637, which became effective January 5, 1975, provides authority and procedures for the Federal Trade Commission's promulgation of "trade regulation rules."

The time regulatory agencies take to make decisions is widely criticized.

Because rate cases differ in kind and complexity, as well as in their immediate and...

Informed observers generally agree that the rulemaking process has become both increasingly less effective and more time-consuming. The Administrative Procedure Act does not reflect many of the current realities of rulemaking. The APA's cumbersome "formal rulemaking" procedures are rarely used except in some adjudicative-type rate proceedings....

The taste was really just ok to me. Got 4 stars for ease of making and for How easy it fell off the bone. Next time I'm going to do fresh squeezed OJ instead of lemon and add some pepper flakes and kind of go for an Asian flavor. Kind of a Panda chix flavor.
We loved this recipe. I uselimeade instead of lemonade, it was what was on hand. Also I have a lemon tree so we cut up two lemons and added it to the pot. I used leftover broth with some cornstarch and made a sauce to drizzle over the chicken and rice. Better than lemon chicken at the Chinese restaurant.
My son loves citrus flavored meats, this got two thumbs up, he loved it. Was very authentic asian tasting. I used boneless chicken breast and served with couscous. So easy as well!
I was hoping it would be more lemony. I'm going to try again but add in some lemon zest. It was super easy to prepare though and the chicken came out perfect.
This recipe was okay. I used 4 large bone-in chicken legs with the thighs attached. I served it over white basmati rice. It was quite easy to make and smelled good, but ended up sweeter than I or my guest would have preferred. I might try it again without the added brownsugar and adding in some soya sauce. Don't know if I'll bother remaking this though.
This was delicious! Not too lemony and not too sweet. I made it with chicken breasts and served it over rice. It was a big hit with my husband and kids. Quick and easy with very little prep. Great recipe, thanks for posting.
What a treat this was!! We used a can of frozen margarita mix (thawed) instead of the lemonade and it was delicious. The chicken came out so tender and juicy and flavorful. It just fell off the bone after about 5.5 hours on low in the crockpot. This will certainly be an often-repeated dish in our house. Thanks so much LeahG!!
Let me start off by saying I followed every directions perfectly. My husband and I just did not like the flavor. I love lemon, but this had an extreme "fake" lemon flavor. Also it was not as moist as I like chicken to be. It was eatable, but I will not make it again. I just think it is not for everyone.
This was quick to throw together. I think that you have to love lemon-flavoured dishes to love this recipe. We both like lemon, but this was a bit too lemony for us. If that makes sense!
Why am I only limited to 5 stars on a 10 star recipe? This is by far one of my favourite recipes I've found on 'zaar because it's fast, easy and delicious. I plan on spreading the good word about this to everyone I know. The lemon wasn't too overpowering and the flavours were well balanced. Thank you for a wonderful addition to my cooking repertoire.

you are viewing a single comment's thread.
He does look and sound like death.I hear that he speaks Chinese and knows how to do business with them...however it seems like former US Auto people are running things over there now.
I believe his girl friend is Asian. I don't know if she is Chinese. Any other experiece he has with Asia I've never heard about.
I think Jim's wife is Chinese so that could be accurate on his familiarity with the language and customs- I don't know this for certain. I appreciate every take thus far in this thread and I have shared the sentiment of frustration on more than one occasion. We can only speculate as to exactly where this stands at this minute in terms of development. There is a fine line often between supreme confidence and arrogance, I will also grant you that-but I also can appreciate that I personally have never been part of negotiations on technology that could be in the hundred of millions of dollars. Would I like a better feel for where we stand and the likelihood that this 8 year hold will eventually start to pay off and dare I dream gather some light speed?? you bet!!-but I also wouldn't want them to blow a deal just to ease my curiosity. This has to be coming to a head in the weeks and months ahead or Yes I believe you are right- The investors will leave in droves and there will be no Merry Christmas, spike the egg nog type of celebrations..If it is torment- then sell you will feel better-in the short term to put this behind you..in the longer term who knows at this point- nobody but the guys inside working- they are the only ones who know who has been visiting and what the talks hold..Total speculation it was the nature of this play since day 1

Excel has done Conditional Formatting for a long time, and the feature got a big facelift in the last version. What's new in this version are some new formatting choices and the ability to apply multiple rules, one on top of another. First thing is we want to select all the data here. You can take your mouse and drag down to the end, but to make it a little easier for you, I created a range name, so you could click that down arrow up here in the Name box and choose data and select it all. So you want to be in the Home tab, and let's go over here to Conditional Formatting.
First, I'll show you the cosmetic improvements. If you go down here to Data Bars, you can see in addition to gradient fills, we now have solid fills for automatic comparison. In Color Scales, we now have more color scales to choose from. That's very nice. And if you look at the Icon Sets, we have more icons. So, for example, we have more arrows, and for like cell phone-type bars, we have a four bar scale, and we also have a five bar scale.
And here are some box icons that are brand-new. The whole purpose for using any of these icons is, if you simply want to compare the numbers with each other, low numbers, medium numbers, high numbers, rather than writing formulas and doing all sorts of complicated comparisons, the Conditional Formatting Color Scales just do a lot of that work for you. So you can get a rough idea of what's happening. Let me show you the real nice improvement in Conditional Formatting. Let's go down here and choose New Rule, and we have all different rules that we can choose from, and let's choose the first one here: Format all cells based on their values.
And let's get maybe a greenish set of colors. So we'll do 3-Color Scale, going from maybe a fairly dark green to a medium green, to a very light green. There's our scale. Click OK. Now click somewhere over here to deselect. So we have what we would expect from dark green to light green. But let's say, in addition to this, we wanted to flag any numbers lower than 100, and we wanted to make those very dark and make them stand out quite a lot.
So let's go back and select the data area. Now let's go back to Conditional Formatting and go down to Manage Rules. So here is where we can pile one row on top of another. So let's go over here and choose New Rule and take cells that only contain, and where it says, Cell Value, let's click this where it says between, and let's choose less than or equal to, and let's make it 100, and let's set a Format. We want bold text.
We want the color to be white. Let's go over here to Fill, and I'll go here to More Colors. I'll choose a very dark green. Click OK. Okay, there is our sample. Click OK. Now we have our two rules, and we can reorder the rules if we want. If we want to evaluate these low numbers after the Color Scale we can hit the down arrow, or vice versa, hit that up arrow. Also, you see where it says, Stop If True. What that means is after Excel does its initial analysis, we can stop processing rules for those cells that it flags.
So if it flags something that's less than 100, Excel won't go and override that with this other color scale. So click OK and deselect. Now we can see those very low numbers have been flagged in, reverse text, while all of the other numbers are in the automatic Color Scale. So if you want to do a quick comparison of numbers, but maybe you also have an idea of a certain range, a specific range that you want to flag, the new features here of Conditional Formatting, I think, will probably fit your bill.

The leader in Eavesdropping Detection
and Counterespionage Consulting services
for business & government, since 1978.
Shopping around? Read this.
Due diligence tips for the cautious...
• Obtain detailed resumes of everyone who will be on your premises.
Quick way to spot a fraud...
Verify "professional credentials" with the issuing organizations. No credentials? Then verify the resumes. No resumes? Move on.
• Don't buy on price alone. Low-ball prices buy a false sense of security (which is worse than a healthy sense of caution). Either hire a professional, or save your money.
Or, as my grandfather said...
"There are good cigars. There are cheap cigars. But there are no good cheap cigars."
Satisfied? Great. Now share your confidential concerns with them.
Tell us your security goals, like securing: executive offices; a hotel event; or maybe the corporate aircraft.
Describe the areas you need to keep free of electronic spying. Mention the number of rooms and sizes. A rough guess is good. Even better, email us a floor plan with the areas marked. Complete confidentiality is assured. Optional, use our Worksheet.
If there is something special about an area (perhaps it has more phones than usual) please mention that too.
Any special timing requirements? Just let us know. (We will accommodate you 24/7 at no extra charge.)
Bonus: If travel is required, we will estimate those expenses as well.
Questions? Just ask. We like explaining.
Perfect if you...
• need scheduling flexibility,
• need us 7 days or more per year,
• want to choose inspection areas ad hoc,
• need a solid economical budget number,
• or, like the comfort of having us on retainer.
It is an amazingly cost-effective and smart way to use our technical expertise, depth of security experience, and the latest instrumentation.
No need to have us do it. We have on-line spy camera detection training. Now your facilities and security people can conduct due diligence inspections for you.
