Wedding Swan Cream Puffs Recipe
5 1 4
VERIFIED BY Taste of Home Test Kitchen
- 1 cup water
- 1/2 cup butter, cubed
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 4 eggs
- 2 packages (3.4 ounces each) instant vanilla pudding mix
- 2 tablespoons seedless raspberry jam, optional
- Confectioners' sugar
- In a heavy saucepan over medium heat, bring the water, butter and salt to a boil. Add flour all at once; stir until a smooth ball forms. Remove from the heat; let stand for 5 minutes. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat until smooth and shiny.
- Cut a small hole in the corner of pastry bag or heavy-duty resealable plastic bag; insert round pastry tip #7. Fill bag with batter. On a greased baking sheet, pipe 3 dozen 2-in.-long "S" shapes for the swan necks, making a small dollop at the end of each for the head. Bake at 400° for 5-8 minutes or until golden brown. Remove to wire racks to cool.
- For swan bodies, drop remaining batter by 36 level tablespoonfuls 2 in. apart onto greased baking sheets. With a small icing knife or spatula, shape batter into 2-in. x 1-1/2-in. teardrops. Bake at 400° for 30-35 minutes or until golden brown. Cool on wire racks.
- Meanwhile, prepare pudding according to package directions for pie filling; chill.
- Just before serving, cut off top third of swan bodies; set tops aside. Remove any soft dough inside. Spoon filling into bottoms of puffs. Top each with a small amount of jam if desired. Cut reserved tops in half lengthwise to form wings; set wings in filling. Place necks in filling. Dust with confectioners' sugar. Yield: 3 dozen.
Tip: Pudding makes these swans a last-minute dessert. If you want to refrigerate the cream puffs several hours before serving, consider filling with sweetened whipped cream instead.

Jan Bonney is already planning for next season by asking his Rosslyn Park squad to end this season on a high, writes James Haggis.
Having been in the promotion race at the turn of the year, Park saw their hopes of promotion dwindle after four straight defeats and are now fighting for a top-four finish.
Saturday's 19-19 draw with Coventry put them ahead of Macclesfield and back into fourth, which is the target Bonney has now set his squad.
"We just have to keep pressing and trying to stay in the top four," he said.
"Hopefully, that will stand us in good stead for next season.
"We have to find our performance as when we keep hold of the ball we are a good side.
"We had a bit of a hiccup but we got a win last week and a draw this week so confidence has been alright in the team."
Despite leaving with a draw on Saturday, Park, who go to Stourbridge this weekend, were disappointed having thrown away a 12-point lead.
They were made to pay for yellow cards to Dan Richmond and Ben Gotting despite tries from Mile Mantella, Ross Laidlaw and Harry Rowland and an impressive appearance at scrum half by Sam Edgerley.
"Silly penalties put us in bad positions," added Bonney. "It is always really difficult to play with 14 men but to do it for 20 minutes in a game is really, really hard.
"The yellow cards were both deserved, neither of them were intentional, but they were both yellow card offences."
"Sam is a good young player and he has not long moved from the wing to number nine and he gives us a different option there.
"He is a really talented player."

Urinary Disorders
Pain in Kidney After Pyeloplasty with Robot
Hi I am 41 year old female. I had the surgery for hydronephrosis on Dec. 9. When my surgeon got to my ureter he found that a vein and an artery were squeezing my ureter tube...He fixed the problem. I got my stent out last week and my kidney hurts. Pain is moderate but it is still there. My surgeons` nurse tells me that this is in my head. I am dizzy and the fatigue and low grade temp. I have done all the cipro. I have a renal scan scheduled for April but I hurt now. Is this normal or should I seek a different opinion? I went to my primary doctor and all blood and urine came back normal except for inflamation showed up. My number was 51 and she said 20 is normal. She has put me on antibiotics for 3 weeks and is treating me for a chronic sinus infection. I dont feel that this is the problem but I will do it. I am just worried about my kidney. I am urinating like a champ so I dont feel there is any problem with the function of the kidney but something just isnt right.
Pain after pyeloplasty could be related to post operative recovery from inflammation related to the surgery or due to reobstruction (there is always a small possibility of failure of the pyeloplasty procedure). If the pain is persistent and bothersome, then a earlier repeat lasix renal scan could be helpful in assessing the drainage from the operated kidney (could be compared to the preoperative renal scan).
Sometimes there could be transient swelling/inflammation from the surgery at the pyeloplasty repair site causing some temporary obstruction. This could show up as obstruction on the renal scan and could require restenting for a while (based on the clinical situation), followed by removal and reevaluation of the success of the procedure (based on relief of symptoms, renal scan).
Urinary tract infection is the other possibility that could be evaluated with a urine culture and treated with the appropriate antibiotics if required. One of the other symptoms sometimes associated with kidney infection is fever, which I assume you do not have as per the information that you have provided. I hope you find this information useful. I would suggest that you discuss your symptoms/concerns with your urologist so that he/she can evaluate you accordingly based on your clinical situation.

Time Warner Cable (TWC) and Bright House Networks have both recently announced that they will begin charging their customers rental fees for cable modems.
Many other large MSOs, notably Comcast, have long charged their customers such a fee.
TWC announced it will begin charging all of its customers a monthly fee of $3.95 for rentals and maintenance. The company has levied the fee on new customers who have signed up since January, according to Investors Business Daily.
TWC customers can avoid the fee by purchasing and installing their own modems.
It is too early to tell how many customers will do so, so estimates vary on how much revenue the fee might generate. One estimate tags it as high as $500 million annually.
Bright House notified its customers two weeks ago that it will begin to levy a $2 monthly fee, starting this month. The move was reported by the Tampa Bay Times. The fee will not be assessed on those who purchase and install their own modems.

Mean Betty on Lea Michele and the Glee Kids "Graduating"
There's nothing like getting kicked off the show after only three seasons, right kittens?
-Mean Betty
Poor, poor Lea Michele, Cory Monteith, and Chris Colfer! These kiddies had it all, didn't they pets? They were the stars of TV's biggest hit show, Glee, which probably gave them even bigger heads. Mean Betty could tell as they strutted down the red carpets at the Emmys and Golden Globes, these show-tune loving kids thought they'd be here forever!
How foolish of them… don't they know Hollywood is never that kind?
Read Mean Betty: Oh No! Did Megan Fox Lie to the World?
Yes, dear kittens, just as quickly as they sang their way to the top, Lea, Chris and Cory (aka Rachel, Kurt and Finn) are being pushed out to sulk with the others at the bottom. Glee's co-creator, Ryan Murphy, has flicked them off of his mega cash-making machine the way Mean Betty flicks her cigarette butts to the ground…. hard.
Murphy tells The Hollywood Reporter that their characters, who started off in season one as sophomores in High School, will simply "graduate" at the end of season three. Of course, Mean Betty knows, by "graduate," he means "be written off entirely never to step foot on my set again, those smug little…"
But, like any trained Hollywood veteran, Murphy put it in much nicer terms to the press, saying, "You can keep them on the show for six years and people will criticize you for not being realistic, or you can be really true to life and say when they started the show they were very clearly sophomores and they should graduate at the end of their senior year."
Artfully crafted, Mr. Murphy.
Mean Betty is sure Lea Michele and crew feel the same. A realistic script is absolutely what they want, not a steady, secure job on a hit TV show — that's not what they got into this business for!
They just wanted to sing songs and bop around Mr. Schuester for three seasons and then leave, so they can unsuccessfully look for another gig in Hollywood because they're stuck with the image of "that annoying kid from Glee."
Well done, Mr. Murphy! They now have you to thank for making all of their dreams come true. And Mean Betty is especially a fan of your decision to not tell Cory Monteith and let him find out he's been fired this way. Well played.

Topic: Bile Duct Surgery
This is part of an interview with an Oncologist at a major clinical institutions. He could not recount in detail the number of patients with CC he had treated however, he believed it to be around 250 to 300 people.
My question to him:
Even though bilary surgery is risky to say the least but more so, a guaranteed outcome of success is debateable, in your experience, where do you stand on this issue:
His answer:
Clearly, why would somebody with bile duct cancer die, it is usually because of the inability to maintain bile flow, and if you can take the tumor out and reconstititue the bilary tree with a surgical hookup.....your are way ahead of the game......
The mystery is, no one can predict who would do well and who wouldn't do well from the onset. They just don't know.

The Crap We Missed – Monday 12.17.12
Welcome to another thick and chunky serving of The Crap We Missed, brought to you by another bountiful weekend full of celebrity droppings. To start things off, we've got Christina Aguilera, who cleverly avoided getting tossed into those first two links up there by wearing a tailor-made butt cover. We've also got Victoria Silvstedt forgetting to take the cap off to give just the smallest doubt that she's not really trying to blow a soda bottle, Elijah Wood's impression of Darwin The IKEA monkey choking to death on a taco, Hannibal Lecter without the intelligence, charm, wit, class, talent and general likability, and finally, Paz de la Huerta faces her greatest fear — THE SHOWER!!
Two Dinklage days in a row. It's beginning to feel a lot like Christmas,

A 30-YEAR-old man who bumped into his ex-girlfriend on a night out thought a restraining order had expired and invited her back to his flat.
Blackburn magistrates heard the unplanned liaison ended with Gwendoline Wild running from the building screaming and shouting and with blood on her. She told police she had banged her nose on the door and made no complaint against Ryan William Craig.
But he was arrested for breaching the restraining order and put before the court in custody. Craig, of Cheltenham Road, Blackburn, pleaded guilty to breach of a restraining order. He was fined £110 with £105 costs which was set against time he had already spent in the cells. The court was told Craig received a custodial sentence in 2012 for an assault on Miss Wild.
Jonathan Taylor, defending, said Craig had not seen Miss Wild for a long time.
"His understanding was that the restraining order was for 12 months following his release from prison," said Mr Taylor. "It is actually an indefinite order."
Mr Taylor said the couple had met purely by chance and they had gone back to his flat.
"There was an argument and she started to damage his flat," said Mr Taylor "He did his best to get her out but she kept coming back at him. It's clear Miss Wild was more than happy to go back with him and equally clear she wasn't helpful to the police."

LA SPEZIA, Italy - Sophomore Sydney Stipanovich led the University of Pennsylvania women's basketball team with a game-high 23 points in a 78-49 win over AS Vertis La Spezia on Sunday night in La Spezia, Italy.
Penn moved to 2-0 in its 2014 Italy Tour. The Quakers also topped the Italy All Stars on Wednesday (69-39).
Sunday's game was moved to a local school gymnasium after recent heavy rainfall flooded La Spezia's home court.
Stipanovich was in midseason form -- dominating around the basket and connecting on mid-range jump shots. Her 14 first-quarter points gave the Quakers a commanding 20-4 lead.
Three other Quakers finished in double figures, including Kathleen Roche (10) and Renee Busch (10) who each hit a three in the second quarter and the Red and Blue led 40-17 at the break.
After an even third quarter ended with Penn up 52-37, the fourth quarter was also back-and-forth until the Quakers finished the game on a 12-2 run. Junior Brooklyn Juday hit a pair of second-half threes -- which are about a foot further back in FIBA rules -- and finished second on the team with 12 points.
Sophomore Sade Gibbons added five points -- all in the fourth quarter. Classmate Jackie Falconer had seven points and senior Kara Bonenberger also contributed seven. Junior Rayne Connell had four points and multiple assists.
La Spezia plays in the national basketball league in Italy, but was missing several starters, including its two American players who will join the team prior to the start of their season this winter.
Following the game, La Spezia hosted a five-course meal for the Quakers at a restaurant alongside La Spezia's scenic harbor.
The Quakers play their third and final international game on Sunday against Chemcats Chemitz (Germany) in Pistoia, Italy at 1:30 p.m. EST.
For the duration of the team's Italy Tour, the coaches and players will document the trip in their travel log. You can also follow the Quakers ontwitterandinstagram.

Occupation: Environmental Anthropologist, Cave Diver
What did you want to be when you were growing up?
I guess I am still growing up, but thinking back to kid days, I can't remember if I wanted to be something specific, all I really remember is wanting to be in water – any water, but the ocean in particular. We lived pretty close to the beach and very near Biscayne Bay in Miami, and my parents had us in the water at an early age. I just remember being taken to another world when freediving – whether in the deep blue of the Gulf Stream or the shallow turtle grass of the bay. What I didn't realize as a kid was the interdependence of the marine and freshwater environments. My love for sea water expanded to fresh water when I started cave diving, and thanks to mentors like Wes Skiles, I realized that what much of the fresh water that the world relies on is invisible to most as it is held in underground aquifers. Selfishly, I realized I could combine cave diving exploration with something that had major implications for human and ecosystem health.
How did you get started in your field of work?
Work, who works – you call this work? I guess that I just got very lucky and had some water skills that were useful for scientists and filmmakers, and eventually that got me invited on expeditions of all sorts, all around the globe. Basically, I never turned down a diving job – whether it was pulling golf carts out of skanky lakes or filming in deep caves. Traveling all over the world in different environments, I realized that I was as interested in the human stories as in the underwater and underground environments, and in particular, how the so-called natural and human systems interacted. That led me to a PhD in anthropology, a field that allows me to try and better understand how to approach the issue of sustainability from a more integrated perspective.
What inspires you to dedicate your life to freshwater?
I think that freshwater is a critical environmental issue – but it can't be looked at isolated from ocean health, policies of land use, environmental justice, and climate change. I am drawn to the complexity of the interaction of all these issues. And again, selfishly, underwater caves are one of the last places on earth where one has to physically go there to explore. So freshwater is a topic that allows me to combine my physical and intellectual interests, hopefully helping in some small way to reduce the negative impacts on our natural resources.
What's a normal day like for you?
I don't even know where to start as every day is different. They usually start with my 2 yr old and 6 year old boys jumping all over me and my wife, and then our tossing them in the pool...a good use of freshwater in my opinion. After that, it can be a day of email drudgery, interactions with students at the university, writing papers and grants, or heading to some remote corner of the world with a ton of dive and surfing gear surrounded by good friends. It's the diversity that keeps me on my toes. I don't want to plan my future, I prefer to let it surprise me.
If you could have people do one thing to help save freshwater, what would it be?
Use less.
What are your other passions?
Aside from anything water and cave related, I like art and architecture, and hanging out with people who I don't know. I don't like sleeping.
What do you do in your free time?

Radio silence proved to be the perfect foil for Chippenham to safeguard their place in the Glos/Wilts Division.
After flirting with the relegation zone in recent weeks, Lee Ward's men upset second-in-the-table Rockham-pton with a two-wicket win in Gloucestershire to ensure that they avoided the drop into the Wiltshire Division.
The win was even more vital after it emerged second-from-bottom Westbury had beaten Warminster, whuch closed the gap to just six points – something that only became apparent later.
"We knew that if we won our game, we'd be safe, so we didn't worry too much about what was going on elsewhere," said Ward.
"We usually take a look at the other scores on Twitter or what have you but there actually wasn't any internet signal at Rockhampton so we couldn't do that. It wasn't until we were on the coach back home that we realised that Westbury had won too.
"Once again, our bowling and fielding was superb and we played really well. Things got a little bit jittery for me, as captain, when we were 9-4 but then Paul Bates came in.
"With the situation that he came into and the situation of our whole season, it was the innings of the season.
"I'm so happy that we've managed to stay in our division because I think, with some strengthening, that we can really push on next year."
Rockhampton batted first after winning the toss, with William Tyler (33) and Matt Tyler (32) leading the scoring for the home side, with Rowan Cartlidge and Jack Spence both making 20.
But skipper Ward took 4-25 to turn the screw on Rockhampton as the hosts were dismissed for 142 in the penultimate over.
Chippenham looked in trouble as their first four wickets fell for just nine runs but Paul Bates stepped in to hit a fine unbeaten 64.
Rockhampton's Chris Perry ended the afternoon with figures of 4-23 but Denson Narayan added a late 34 as the visitors reached 144-8 early in the 36th over to preserve their status.
Biddestone claimed a narrow home win over Swindon to secure third place.
The villagers were put in to bat first after losing the toss, with Vibhor Yadav (3-41) piling on the pressure.
But Naeem Khan (46), Luke Panes (42 not out) and Andy Flynn (35) all contributed as Biddestone posted 211-9.
Jon Sore led Swindon's run chase with a knock of 68 but a haul of 4-41 from Stuart Kingwell and Dwaine Perry's 3-33 was enough to skittled the visitors for 193 in the penultimate over.

Ah, sandwiches. In case you've forgotten, the goal of this weekend's posts is to give you a little of bit of sanity during this difficult stretch until winter break. Today's sandwiches move from the art of Scanwiches to sandwiches as both dare and humor.
Wait, Wait Don't Tell Me, NPR's news quiz also hosts a blog. "What," you say, "might this blog be named?" Wait, Wait Don't Blog Me of course. Sandwich Mondays are part of an ongoing series from the program's staff. A hysterical mix of humor and bizarre sandwiches, these posts are perfect for teaching voice, style, humor, and argument. Below are some good places to start. It's just the beginning, however, of what you can use.
A good blog post to give students an idea of the "definition" of sandwich according to Wait, Wait Don't Tell Me. Have students read and annotate. Consider using as an intro to teaching a definition essay assignment or as an intro to a larger assignment with these blog posts.
"The Marmite Sandwich" & "In Defense of Marmite"
It seems like the more disgusting the sandwiches, the more delightful the posts. What's perfect about this sandwich is that they give you two posts with which to work. Have students read both posts and annotate for voice/style. Consider using the follow up post "In Defense of Marmite" as a way to talk about writing that uses this type of title (i.e. Michael Pollan's In Defense of Food).
Also consider using these posts together as a supplement when teaching Mark Twain's "How to Tell a Story." If Twain's argument is that good, humorous storytelling is an American's way of wandering around until they have their audience right where they want them, these two posts speak specifically to that understanding.
"'The Breakfast Club' edition"
There's just no way to pass up teaching a disgusting sandwich from a classic 80's flick. Have students watch The Breakfast Club clip.
Then have them read/annotate the post for style and humor. Consider having them discuss the following areas:
- Why might this be a sandwich for Wait, Wait Don't Tell Me to highlight?
- List the sandwich components.
- Why would a film writer/director believe these sandwich "components" were appropriate for a teen? Identify the argument.
- Where is the humor in recreating The Breakfast Club Sandwich?

This is not the first....I had a pre-paid 1st Gen iPhone.
This is a "GameChanger".
Is Cricket GSM?
Dagnabit T-mobile, you better get that 1900mhz refarm completed soon. it is ridiculous that every single carrier in the US big and small now has iPhone officially except t-mobile. My factory unlocked iPhone 4S on t-mobile running on edge is becoming soooo annoying to use when not at a wifi hotspot.
I seriously had a better data connection back in 2004 on Sprint than what I am getting with T-mobile edge. Just checked my bandwith... hmmm im getting 5.6KB/s down wow, I am officially going 56K modem speeds here. I feel like I'm in 1998 again... so nostalgic.
The only difference here is that my 56k modem gave me more reliable and consistant average throughput. Edge jumps around like crazy. I don't want to live on this planet anymore.
Tmo's data network is only good for emails without attachments!!
For voice and text it works perfectly fine for me.. but MMS is spotty .. MMS has always been a pain with my iphones on t-mobile.. it never works out of the box and even when you enter the settings I have weird issues like small photos coming in.. it only works properly when I jailbreak the phone and download the carrier bundle.
Here's to hoping they roll out the new spectrum SOON
CDMA? I'll pass. I wouldn't buy a phone where I could only use half of it at a time. "you can talk! ....or use Internet." "You can receive picture texts! ...oh but not while your on the phone. You have to hang up before you can download that picture I just sent you. "
I'm not too familiar with Cricket but its worth looking into to find out more.
That Straight Talk and Even T-Mobile Pre-Paid all sound like good options. I would be looking to use a GSM version but definitely worth looking into.
Thanks for all this info everyone

NATHAN Greaves has been able to take plenty of positives after reflecting on his first week as an Elite League rider.
The teenage reserve was brought into the Robins side as a replacement for struggling youngster Dan Greenwood, making his debut on Monday at Wolverhampton before competing for the Robins at King's Lynn on Wednesday night.
Greaves may have failed to score at Monmore Green and picked up only two points in Norfolk, but is pleased with the quick progress he has made and is keen to carry on progressing.
"It's really hard but I'm starting to get used to it and hopefully I can keep improving," he said.
"At Wolverhampton on Monday the track was a lot different to the way it usually is and more grippy than when I've ridden there in the National League so it's just about getting used to things really.
"It wasn't the riders who were hard to beat it was the track and once I get used to things I'm sure I will be fine. The track at King's Lynn was different too and that's good because it gives me a lot to learn.
"I think it was probably a bit easier than I thought it would be to be honest because I've put that much pressure on myself. It's hard and my worst race is always my first but I'm sure I can make some progress."
As well as learning lessons on the track, Greaves has enjoyed picking up plenty of advice off it as he shares a pit with the likes of Grand Prix star Troy Batchelor.
"It's amazing going up to Troy and asking him about bike set-up and he will give me some advice," he said.
"Learning off guys like this is great and they've been great with me and made me feel like a big part of the team.
"I've never ridden at Swindon before and only ever been to the track once so I'm really looking forward to the meeting on Thursday and hopefully learning a lot more."

-------------------Great white sharks are without a doubt one of the most successful predators on the planet, but one of nature's most triumphant designs did not factor in the negative impacts that humans, in the role of a dominant species, can have on them. As apex predators, sharks sit atop the food chain and with no natural enemies, shark numbers are designed to be low. Ironically, given their rule over the sea, this means they are particularly vulnerable to the way human's fish and sometimes over-fish. Sharks are designed to mature slowly (taking up to 15 years), and produce few successful young (every two to three years). In areas where their populations have been depleted they are slow to recover to natural numbers.
The great white is fully protected in seven countries, including South Africa.
Due to evidence of declining white shark populations around the world, these sharks are afforded some of the highest protections of any fish in the sea. Today, the great white is fully protected in seven countries, including South Africa. International conventions also protect the great white, with listings on Appendix II of the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES), in the Convention of Migratory Species (CMS), and in the United Nations Convention on Law of the Sea (UNCLOS). The authority on which species face the most likely path to extinction, the World Conservation Union's (IUCN) Red List of Threatened Species, identifies white sharks as globally "Vulnerable". The message from the international community is great white sharks are at risk of extinction.
Why do we need great whites at all?
Great whites keep the ocean balanced.
Great whites keep the ocean balanced. They feed on a variety of animals including numerous species of fish (in Cape Town those include yellowtail, steenbras and cob), other sharks (smooth hounds and guitar sharks), marine mammals (seals) and they even scavenge on dead whales. Furthermore, great whites are often the primary, and sometimes only, predators of some of the larger prey animals like seals. This means that there is a cascading effect in the ocean between the way sharks keep a balance of their prey and the hundreds of different species that are impacted (ecological dominoes if you will), and thus play vital roles in ecosystem function and biodiversity. Furthermore, studies around the world are increasingly highlighting the important role that sharks play. Without sharks, economically important fisheries have closed and there are losses to eco-tourism ventures, particularly important in countries dependent on tourism. Moreover, great white sharks are now celebrated as one of our "Big Seven". They are an iconic species and a feature of our local and natural heritage, which we have a duty to preserve.
lol...typical proganda. It's just politics that keep them "protected" in some countries. It's like black bears in New Jersey. Lots of black bears are hunted in Maine and the population is perfectly healthy. Great sharks could be fished like any other fish without being wiped out. It's all a matter of a bag limit like any other game animal. Conservation and fishing can co-exist.
You think sharks are cool and shouldn't be "murdered". It's as simple as that
As far as the other point. Natures finds a new balance if an apex predator is wiped out.
Oh and great white sharks are absolutely NO THREAT of becoming extinct. What a complete load of horse manure! LIES! Period. And most of your post is just rambling eco politics that' spoon fed to the masses by the likes of discovery channel who like to manipulate and lie to try to program people to their point of view.
I'm pretty sure even most shark attack victims would disagree with you on this one sharkhunter. Any chance you're in support of getting rid of the Muslims in this country for fear of terrorist attack as well?

MEMPHIS (AP) – A Missouri financial adviser and campaign fundraiser for President Barack Obama was sentenced to six months of house arrest and five years' probation Monday for conducting a bizarre plot to stalk her daughter's ex-boyfriend.
U.S. District Judge John Fowlkes accepted an agreement that allowed Nadia Cavner to plead guilty to one count of felony interstate stalking and avoid a trial that could have resulted in a maximum five-year prison term upon conviction.
Federal prosecutor Brian Coleman had recommended only probation for Cavner, an Iranian immigrant who built a successful career in Springfield, Mo. But Fowlkes added house arrest after expressing concerns that probation alone wasn't enough of a punishment for an organized plot that included threats of violence.
Fowlkes heard statements from the daughter's ex-boyfriend Patrick McFarland, his current girlfriend Kristen Stancher and their relatives, who said they were racked by panic and fear throughout the months-long harassment scheme that began in July 2011. McFarland and Stancher attended medical school at the University of Memphis.
Prosecutors say that Cavner sent harassing letters to the couple and had them followed by a private investigator.
Stancher's father John said his daughter would call him crying, and he feared for her safety. He said Cavner only stopped her "sick plot" was because she was caught.
"I'm fearful for anyone that crosses Ms. Cavner," he said. "She appears to have no regard for the law or for human life."
Cavner, 53, had been an adviser with Cambridge Investment Research, the brokerage arm of BancorpSouth in Springfield. She had overseen over $485 million in assets, mostly for high net worth clients, according to her website. She has since been fired from BancorpSouth but is still working for herself, her lawyers said.
Cavner organized a fundraiser for Obama in Springfield in July 2008, collecting $250,000 for the campaign. She also worked for Obama's 2008 campaign, collecting between $50,000 and $100,000, according to opensecrets.org.
Cavner also has donated to Democrat U.S. Sen. Claire McCaskill and the Missouri Democratic State Committee. She has also been active in several charities.
McFarland was Maral Cavner's boyfriend when she attended Emory University in Atlanta, but they broke up and McFarland moved to Memphis. McFarland then began dating Stancher.
At the time of the harassment, McFarland and Stancher were both second-year medical students at the University of Tennessee.
Coleman said Cavner sent harassing letters to the couple and asked private investigators to follow and watch them. She also asked investigators to plant a recording device in McFarland's home, but they refused, saying it was illegal.
Cavner also discussed the possibility of someone becoming violent with McFarland, but not to the point of killing him, Coleman said.
"You know, break an arm or two," Cavner is accused of saying.
Cavner also discussed a drive-by shooting to scare the couple. The drive-by would have been blamed on gang members, Coleman said.
Private investigators eventually contacted the FBI. Prosecutors said Cavner spent $26,000 on the scheme.
No violence was committed, but the couple was emotionally injured by the plot, Fowlkes said.
"Malice and ill will were the driving force," Patrick McFarland said in a statement in open court. "It made me sick, disgusted."
Cavner received several letters of support that were sealed under court order. She apologized to the couple in court.
Her lawyer, Steve Farese, said her conduct was an aberration and that Cavner was guilty of being an overprotective mother.
"This case is not about money. This case is not about politics," Farese said. "This is about a person who has made a mistake."

ChefTools | RSVP Endurance Stainless Steel Drink Straws, Set of 4
Cool style! You know that advice your dentist gives you about drinking dark, staining liquids through a straw so that less staining occurs to the front of your teeth? Well, I've been following that advice via my iced tea addiction and one thing has been bothering me...the straw! I reuse the same few over and over at home, but believe it or not.............these make total sense to me! My next purchase.

Saturday night we had a back to college cookout for my nice and nephew. My brother in law bought a beef tenderloin (which is what you slice filet mignon from), and we cooked it up.
We sliced off all excess fat, and the the side "rope", known as the chain. Now tenderloin is a very lean cut of meat, hardly any marbling inside, and not much taste on it's own. So I always felt it's up to us bbq cooks to add flavor either to the center or the outside. I used my cutom blended beef base and beef au jus marinade injection, and we injected the filet in about a dozen spots. I also like to build up a bark on the outside of my meat, which is loaded with flavor. I added my hickory molasses char crust to build up a crust on the outside.
First shot here shows the whole tenderloin in the pan with the chain cut off. We still cook the chain and slice it up to small pieces to serve as an appetizer leading up to the main course. After injecting the tenderloin, we wrapped bacon on one half, and left the other half exposed to see if there was any difference in moisture, texture, and rendering of fat. The purpose of the bacon is to render some fat juices to self baste the outside of the tenderloin and keep it moist and from drying out during the cook.
We cooked the tenderloin at about 280 degrees for 2 hours in the pan, with indirect heat, then we let the tenderloin rest in th epan outside the grill, wrapped with foild for 20 minutes, to allow juices to get back to the cente rof the meat. Then the last 15 minutes we put the tenderloin directly on the grill over high heat, flipping it over. We also marinated, and cooked some sirloin steaks. These had been marinated in olive oil and fresh crushed garlic for a few hours before we cooked them. I added my hickory molasses char crust to build up a crust on the outside. I do this on all my steaks
We also cooked Cedar Plank Salmon. This is my favorite method of cooking salmon, because the cedar plank gives off a delicious sweet almost buttery wooden smoke taste to the salmon, whihc is a light smoke taste that does not over power the meat at all. We brined it first for 2 hours in my home made brine solution in the fridge. Then coat it with olive oil, salt, and pepper. My in laws only had this old bottle of ugly brown paprika. I prefer to use nice fresh red paprika, it makes all the difference in the world in appearance of the meat,as you want a nice red powder look on top of the brilliant orange/pink color of the salmon. So their paprika left it looking not so great, but it still tasted awesome and was a major hit at our bbq. 15 minutres before the salmon is done, I brush on my glaze and let it slightly carmelize. Delicious!

The Time of Angels was the fourth episode of the fifth series of BBC Wales Doctor Who. It was the first part of a two-part story. It saw the return of the enigmatic woman of the Doctor's future, River Song, and the terrifying Weeping Angels. Throughout the episode, hints are given about River's relationship with the Doctor in his personal future. It also showed the purpose the Church will serve in the 51st century.
Synopsis Edit
The enigmatic River Song hurtles back into the Eleventh Doctor's life, but she's not the only familiar face returning — the Weeping Angels are back! Following River's calling card, the Doctor is recruited to help track down the last of the Angels, which has escaped from the Byzantium starliner and into the terrifying Maze of the Dead.
Plot Edit
A man spins dazedly in a green field on a sunny day. There is a lipstick smear on his mouth. He is approached by two armed guards and a man in evening clothes. He tells them what a beautiful day it is. The man wipes the hallucinogenic lipstick off, revealing the dazed guard is actually standing in the metallic corridor of a spaceship. He states grimly, "She's here."
Elsewhere in the ship, a woman in high heels blasts through a steel door with a firearm; behind it, is a room with a black box suspended in the center. She changes the gun's settings, and uses it as a torch, burning a message onto the box's face.
Meanwhile, twelve thousand years later, the Eleventh Doctor and Amy Pond explore the Delirium Archive, the final resting place of the Headless Monks. Amy is bored. The Doctor promised to take her to a planet next, and the museum is on an asteroid. She wonders why they are at a museum while the Doctor announces that most of the displays are "wrong" until coming to one that he says is "one of mine". Amy deduces that this is how he keeps score.
The Doctor is fascinated by the box seen earlier. He says it's a home box, which works like an airplane's black box except it homes. He says the message scrawled on the box is for him. It is written in Old High Gallifreyan. Amy asks what the message says, and the Doctor exasperatedly replies, "Hello, sweetie." They steal the box and run to the TARDIS, pursued by guards.
The Doctor connects the home box to the TARDIS console, and explains that someone is trying to get his attention. Getting a visual, he sees River Song smiling at the camera. Changing the footage, River is now cornered in front of an airlock by the man in evening clothes and two guards. She explains coolly she needed to see what was in the vault, and warns them that the ship will not reach its destination.
As the guards prepare to shoot her, River rattles off "7775/349x10,012/acorn" — temporal coordinates — and requests an air corridor. The Doctor sets the TARDIS controls for River's location. Meanwhile, River tells the men they'd better find something to hold on to. They grab for handholds as alarms sound, and the airlock blows open. A calm River floats out into space just as the TARDIS materialises. She flies inside, knocking the Doctor to the floor. Surprised to see her again, the Doctor greets her. But the Byzantium's getting away; "Follow that ship!" As the TARDIS chases after the ship, River suggests using the stabilisers. The Doctor notes that the TARDIS doesn't have stabilisers... until she presses a blue button, and the TARDIS stops shaking. As River takes over the piloting, the Doctor sits down and complains about the "blue boringers". Amy asks him who River is and how she can fly the TARDIS, prompting the Doctor sneer at River's style of piloting. River says she had lessons from the very best. The Doctor looks smug until she adds, "A shame you were busy that day."
River announces that she's plotted all possible landing locations, and, with a soft thud, that she's parked the TARDIS next to the Byzantium. However, the Doctor protests to the TARDIS having landed; the dematerialisation noise didn't sound, so he's sceptical. River replies that it only makes that sound because he leaves the brakes on, though he insists it's a brilliant noise. The Doctor, grumbling, opens the door — despite River's warnings that they must do environmental checks — and announces they have landed on Alfava Metraxis, which has an oxygen-rich atmosphere, an eleven-hour day, and a chance of rain later. River sneers, "He thinks he's so hot when he does that."
River exits the TARDIS before the Doctor gets ready to leave. He tells Amy that River is his future, and can run away from it if he wishes to, but Amy reminds him that he promised her a planet and insists on spending 5 minutes there. The Doctor reluctantly accepts, though insists River is not dragging them into anything. They exit the TARDIS to see the smouldering wreckage of the Byzantium atop a stony plateau. On Amy's request, the Doctor introduces her to Professor River Song. Happy to learn that she'll be a professor one day, Rivers states her trademark, "spoilers"; the Doctor is annoyed he just gave away foreknowledge. River asks the Doctor to boost the signal of her radio with his sonic screwdriver, so that she can use it as a homing beacon for reinforcements in orbit. She also mentions there was one survivor of the crash, something that can never die; she notes that "now he's listening". She produces her diary, and asks the Doctor where she's landed in his timeline. The Doctor orders Amy to keep away from it, as it is "Her past, my future".
Before River can read off any past adventures, four men in combat uniform teleport in and approach them. Their leader, Father Octavian, is rather cross; River had promised him an army. However, she corrects him, saying that she promised the equivalent of an army. He takes back his complaint once introduced to the Doctor. They then reveal their enemy. Turning to the Doctor, River asks him what he knows of the Weeping Angels.
By nightfall, the Doctor is fed up with Amy's persistent questions about his relationship with River and with her disobedience of his order to wait in the TARDIS. River calls them to a drop-ship to show them footage of the Weeping Angel they're chasing. It is a four-second clip on a loop. The Doctor and River explain the nature of the Weeping Angel to Amy and Father Octavian, including their quantum-lock defense mechanism; the Doctor also briefly recounts his previous encounter with the Weeping Angels on Earth. The Angel that they're after had been patient and feigned dormancy since it was discovered. All but Amy depart the drop-ship as River offers the Doctor a book about the Angels; he reads the whole book in seconds. He is perplexed; something is missing, but he doesn't know what.
While the others make plans, Amy is left with nothing to do. Looking back at the tape, she realises the Weeping Angel has changed its position slightly. When she asks River if she has more than one clip of the Angel, River says no; it's just the one. When Amy looks back, the Angel has moved again; it now faces the camera with its arms spread out. The door behind her shuts without her noticing. Amy tries to turn off the television, but it quickly switches back on. She then tries and fails to unplug it. When she looks back up, though, the Angel's face has filled the screen. She tries to leave, but the door won't budge. She looks back again to find the Angel is now baring its fangs at her.
Outside, River wonders how early the Doctor is in his time stream. When he replies it is fairly early, she is amused because he doesn't know who she is yet. The Doctor wonders how she knows who he is as he doesn't always look the same. River says that she has all his faces in her diary, but he doesn't show up in order; River thinks she needs a spotter's guide. The Doctor then realises what the book of angels is missing; pictures. Why would there be no visual on what to look out for? River says there was a mention about images in the book. The Doctor returns to the sentence and reads it aloud: "Whatever takes the image of an Angel becomes itself an Angel." He ponders its meaning.
Back in the dropship, Amy looks away again. This time, when she looks back, the Angel has projected itself into the drop-ship as a hologram. Amy shouts for the Doctor. He runs to the door and tries to opening it with the sonic screwdriver, but fails. River tries burning through the hull as the Doctor fails to cut the power; the Angel has added a deadlock seal, though, and neither succeed, River noting it's "not even warm". The Doctor warns Amy not to blink, then looks back into the book, and adds she is not to look into the Angel's eyes; however, Amy already has, though doesn't mention it. The Doctor explains to River the book says that the eyes are the "doors" to the soul, not windows.
Realising there is a blip in the loop where there's no picture, Amy freezes the recording at that moment, ending the "image" and shutting off the screen. The Doctor and River enter; the Doctor orders River to hug and comfort Amy because he's busy scanning the plug to the television. He explains that it was a projection of the Angel they're after, not the Angel itself; it was scoping out its foes, and remarks that "it's no longer dormant". An explosion sounds outside, and Octavian enters to tell them the Clerics have blasted into the structure. The Doctor departs, convinced things are going to get even worse. Amy rubs her eye. She tells River there's something in it.
The group climbs down into the temple, finding a gravity well inside. The Doctor says it is the perfect hiding place for the Angel. He kicks a gravity globe high into the air. With the space lit, the interior is revealed: hundreds of disintegrating stone statues. Finding the Angel is going to be like finding a needle in a haystack. The Clerics wonder how they are going to neutralise the Angel. The best strategy the Doctor can think of is to "Find it, and hope."
The Doctor and Amy rush off to explore, but Father Octavian holds River back, warning her they need the Doctor on their side; the Doctor must never know why she's imprisoned, or he won't help them. As she leaves, Octavian sends Clerics Christian and Angelo to investigate the one exit visible from the chamber.
In one of the tunnels, Amy has stopped some distance away from the Doctor to rub her eye. This time, dust runs between her fingers; Amy is shocked by this, but the dust vanishes. River appears behind her and gives her an inoculation to protect her from the radiation from the ship. Amy asks River about her relationship with the Doctor. River is evasive and Amy continues to believe they are married. The Doctor hears them, but denies it. River points out that he's holding a device upside-down. This reassures Amy that she is right; River doesn't confirm this, but simply says Amy is "good".
Elsewhere, Christian and Angelo are complaining about the mission, even preferring to go back to hunting lava snakes. Christian decides to investigate another passage, but soon finds his torchlight flickering. He turns to call for Angelo to come to him, but the Weeping Angel kills him. Oddly, Angelo receives a transmission from the now-deceased Christian to come and see something. When he does, he also finds his torchlight flickering. He turns to see the Angel just as it kills him as well.
The Doctor, Amy and River explore the maze. He remembers the Aplans who built the crypt, saying he had dinner with the chief architect. According to him, the species had two heads. He changes the subject, asking River about the last line in the book — it's a rather ominous prophecy. They hear gunfire and return to the main chamber. Cleric Bob has fired at a statue, thinking it looked at him. Octavian berates him, but the Doctor insists Bob's fear will keep him alert and fast; "anyone who isn't scared is an moron." Octavian orders Bob to guard the entrance with Christian and Angelo, while he and the four other Clerics join the Doctor's exploration.
River tells the Doctor that something's wrong, but doesn't know what. The Doctor's feeling the same. Examining a statue while Amy points out that divorce of self-marriage must have been messy, the Doctor and River have a terrifying epiphany. As they explain, the Aplans had two heads... So why don't the statues?
Gathering everyone behind him, the Doctor has them turn off their torchlights. When they turn back on after a second, all of the statues have turned to face them; every single statue is an Weeping Angel! Amy notes how slow they are, as they should've had them by now; the Doctor puts this down to starvation after being there for centuries without a supply of energy.
Elsewhere, Cleric Bob gets a call from Angelo over his radio, begging him to come and see something. Angelo becomes increasingly annoyed that Bob won't come, telling him it's something he has to see. Finally, Bob does so, and he's killed by the same Angel.
Back to the Doctor's group, he's deduced the angels are slowly being restored by the radiation leaking from the wreckage and they must leave now! Octavian radios Bob to warn him. Bob says he's on his way and that the others are dead; the Angels have broken their necks. The Doctor is surprised; Angels normally displace their victims in time, unless they need bodies for something. Bob explains that the Angel killed him as well. The Angel reanimated a copy of his consciousness to speak to them; when Bob said that "he" is on his way, he really meant the Angel.
The group flees to the Byzantium while the Doctor chats with Bob, confirming he is speaking to the original Angel, who is no longer in the ship. As he runs to join the others, he finds Amy frozen in the corridor. She tells the Doctor that, because she looked into the Angel's eyes earlier, her hand has turned to stone. He must leave her. Her hand is not stone, though, and it's just the Weeping Angels playing with her mind. As the lights in the cavern flicker and the Angels approach, the Doctor apologises, but Amy tells him she understands why he must leave her; he doesn't mean for that, and bites her hand, taking her out of the trance. They meet up with the others, who are standing on a rocky ledge some fifty feet beneath the Byzantium wreckage; they're trapped.
"Sacred Bob" radios the Doctor again. He says there is nowhere for the Doctor to go and the Angels will kill them all. The Angels are also keen to have him know that the real Bob was afraid when he died; the Doctor had assured Bob that his fear would keep him fast, but he died alone and afraid. They are trying to make the Doctor angry, and angering the Doctor is a very bad move.
The Doctor tells Bob that he's sorry for his death, promising what's left of him that the Angels will pay. But they're is trapped with no chance of escape. The Doctor tells Bob that there is something wrong with the trap: a great, big mistake. He asks the group if they trust him. He takes Octavian's sidearm and orders them to jump on his signal. The Doctor warns the Angels, "There's one thing you never put in a trap, if you're smart, if you value your continued existence, if you have any plans about seeing tomorrow, there is one thing you never, ever put in a trap."
"Me!" The Doctor then shoots the gravity globe with Octavian's sidearm, plunging them into total darkness...

- The Doctor's on Virginia Woolf's bowling team.
- Amy guesses that River Song is the Doctor's wife in the future. River doesn't tell the truth to keep the established timeline from being polluted.

TARDIS Edit
- The TARDIS is capable of creating and extending an air corridor.
- River Song says the TARDIS has brakes.
- According to River Song, the TARDIS isn't supposed to make the classic materialisation/dematerialisation noise; she says it's because the Doctor always leaves the brakes on, which he counters by saying he likes the sound the TARDIS makes.
- The TARDIS can operate like a spaceship, following the Byzantium through space before jumping through time to reach the crash site.
- The TARDIS has blue stabilizer buttons the Doctor seemed unaware of; however, he then says that they are "boring".
Languages Edit
- River leaves the Doctor a message in Old High Gallifreyan on a home box: "Hello, sweetie".
Locations Edit
- The Weeping Angel was discovered in the ruins of Razbahan at the end of the 50th century.
Planets Edit
- Alfava Metraxis is seventh planet of the Dundra system, which is located in the Garn belt.
- Alfava Metraxis has an oxygen rich atmosphere and toxins in its soft-band. Its days last for 11 hours.
- Alfava Metraxis was terraformed nearly 200 years before the crash of the Byzantium.
Religion Edit
- The soldiers who accompany River Song are from the Church.
- The Angels' use of the phrase, "Come and see", is a reference to the Horsemen of the Apocalypse in Revelation, specifically the Angel of Death.
Technology Edit

- The projection of a Weeping Angel is able to deadlock seal the landing pod, despite the pod not having the capability.
- Perception filters are referred to again.
- The new sonic screwdriver is as ineffective against deadlock seals as its predecessors.
Spacecraft Edit
- The Byzantium is a spacecraft carrying a Weeping Angel. It crash lands when its warp engines suffer a phase shift.
Story notes Edit
- This was the first episode of Series 5 to be shot, and therefore the first episode featuring Matt Smith and Karen Gillan.[2]
- This is Amy's first meeting with River Song, who, unknown to her, is actually her daughter.
- Amy Pond thinks her hand has turned to stone. Actress Karen Gillan had previously appeared in TV: The Fires of Pompeii as a member of the Sibylline Sisterhood, a cult of soothsayers whose flesh was beginning to turn to stone under the influence of the Pyroviles.
- This is the third appearance of the Weeping Angels if one counts non-TV appearances; they have previously featured in TV: Blink and in Captain Jack's Monster Files. (See WC: A Ghost Story for Christmas)
- The Doctor ripping the strap off the ceiling of one of the small ships was originally an accident; the producers liked the idea so much that they filmed Matt Smith doing it again.
- At one point in the episode, Bob shot one of the statues because he thought it looked at him. All the statues turned out to be Weeping Angels, so the statue probably did look at Bob.
- In this story, River Song is a doctor. She seems surprised when the Doctor lets slip that she will one day be a professor. In conversation with Father Octavian, she mentions that she was imprisoned for a crime, and the Doctor wouldn't help them if he knew who she was. It was revealed shortly before the episode aired that the crime was murdering "the best man she ever knew." She was convicted of the murder of the Doctor (See TV: The Wedding of River Song). [3]
- During its airing in some parts of England, an animated advert for the talent show Over the Rainbow began playing over the cliffhanger. This sparked complaints to the BBC, who later apologised. The advert contained an animated Graham Norton, who later joked about it on his own show – saying he finally secured a role on Doctor Who. However, his voice had already been overheard during the first episode of the revived series, Rose, when an error in broadcasting began playing the audio of a trailer featuring Norton for another of his talent shows, Strictly Dance Fever. In referring to his "appearance" in "Time of Angels," Norton then played a version of the cartoon banner, with a Dalek exterminating his cartoon self; coincidentally, the same show also featured an appearance by Karen Gillan and they spoke further about the error.
- This is the first episode of Series 5 not to feature one of the Cracks, but one does show up in the next episode. This is likely because it is the first of a two-part story.
- One question commonly asked by fans regarding TV: Blink was why Sally Sparrow and Larry Nightingale did not try closing one eye at a time to keep the Weeping Angels at bay. When the Angel is attacking Amy, she tries this, but remarks on how difficult it actually is.
- The episode ran short in its original cut because high tides at the beach location forced the abandonment of about three scripted pages — including the scene which had been used to audition Karen Gillan for the part of Amy Pond. In its place, Steven Moffat inserted the scene where River flies the TARDIS, filmed as a pick-up. (DCOM: The Time of Angels)
Ratings Edit
- 6.8 million viewers [source needed]
Filming locations Edit
- The beach scenes on Alfava Metraxis were filmed at Southerndown beach, Vale of Glamorgan. This was also where scenes in Army of Ghosts/Doomsday and Journey's End were filmed.[4]
Rumours Edit
- A teaser from Digital Spy implied a data ghost device would appear in this episode.[1]
- This proved partially true. The same suits which have the devices were spotted in the episode, but were not used.
Production errors Edit
- When the Doctor is talking to Angel Bob over the radio, he doesn't have a torch in his hand. In the next shot, running past Amy, he is shown with one.
- The warning on the dropship door reads "CAUTION: Trip Hazzard". The word is properly spelled "Hazard".
- When River is in space, the TARDIS has white windows. The scene cuts to a close up of the Doctor, and the windows are black. Also, the St John's Ambulance badge is missing from the door. Steven Moffat admits on the DVD commentary that it is the "David Tennant police box", but falls short of laying blame at the feet of any particular production member.
- Steven Moffat notes in the in-vision commentary that there are massive continuity errors throughout the episode with respect to the length of Matt Smith's hair. Indeed, careful examination reveals that Smith's hair has several different lengths, sometimes within the same scene.
- At the end when the Doctor is seen shooting the gravity globe, he does not actually move his finger, but the pistol still shoots.
Continuity Edit
- The Doctor points out historical inaccuracies in the museum. Susan Foreman did this with one of her history text books. (TV: An Unearthly Child)
- The same suits River Song and her crew wore when she became an archaeologist can be seen in this episode in the pod where Amy encounters her first Weeping Angel. (TV: Silence in the Library/Forest of the Dead).
- The Doctor stated he previously encountered the Weeping Angels once, a long time ago, on Earth. He previously encountered them in his tenth incarnation in TV: Blink.
- River Song previously appeared in TV: Silence in the Library/Forest of the Dead.
- The Doctor previously used the TARDIS to chase a crashing spaceship in TV: The Empty Child.
- A gravity globe was previously used in TV: The Impossible Planet.
- Amy refers to visiting a spaceship (TV: The Beast Below) and Winston Churchill's Cabinet War Rooms. Victory of the Daleks)
- High Gallifreyan was previously seen in TV: The Five Doctors; the Doctor declares he is one of the few who understands the language.
- The scene where the Doctor refuses to do an environment check is reminiscent of TV: The Power of the Daleks, where a post-regeneration Second Doctor absentmindedly starts to wander out of the TARDIS. When his companions protest that he hasn't checked for oxygen on the planet, the Doctor rattles off the temperature, radiation, and oxygen density and detects a likelihood of mercury deposits.
- Similar to the Fourth Doctor with Romana I, the Doctor is annoyed by someone claiming to be better at piloting the TARDIS than he is. (TV: The Ribos Operation)
- Amy notes that the Doctor never lets people call him "sir". (TV: The Sontaran Stratagem, Planet of the Dead, et al)
- After flicking quickly through the book on the Weeping Angels, the Doctor remarks, "Not bad, bit boring in the middle." He did a similar thing with a book in a Parisian cafe in TV: City of Death and with The Lovely Bones in TV: Rose. He also proved capable of speed-reading a book in his eighth incarnation in AUDIO: Invaders from Mars.
- The Doctor tells River that he is not a taxi service. The Fifth Doctor told Adric the same thing in TV: Earthshock and later tells Rory in TV: Dinosaurs on a Spaceship.
- The Book of the Weeping Angels later appears in the Doctor's study in his TARDIS. (GAME: TARDIS)
- River Song again uses the hallucinogenic lipstick in The Pandorica Opens.
- River mentions that she learnt to fly the TARDIS from "the best" and notes that "It's a shame [the Doctor was] busy that day". River learnt to pilot the TARDIS from the TARDIS itself shortly after her regeneration. (TV: Let's Kill Hitler)
- In The Wedding of River Song, River admits to lying about not knowing Amy here to keep the timeline from being changed.
- River is mentioned to have been in the Stormcage Containment Facility for murdering someone, someone Father Octavian warns her against telling the Doctor about. She later tells him that he was the best man she knew. The reason Octavian didn't want the Doctor to know is revealed in Let's Kill Hitler: it's the Doctor himself though The Wedding of River Song reveals that the Doctor and River actually faked his death and for a time only they and Amy and Rory knew the truth.
Home video releases Edit
BBC Video - Doctor Who Series Five - Volume Two was released on Monday 5 July 2010 (UK Only) on DVD and Blu-ray, featuring The Time of Angels, Flesh and Stone and The Vampires of Venice. [5]

A cheery blend of anti-government paranoia, haywire sociology, and good old-fashioned grindhouse sleaze, Escape From New York takes the famous New York Daily News headline, "[President ] Ford to City: Drop Dead," and goes crazy with it.
The year is 1997 and crime is so rampant that the island of Manhattan has been declared a federal prison. Recidivism rates are low considering the philosophy is taken straight from the Roach Motel: Prisoners go in but they don't come out. When a band of terrorists hijack the president's plane, and the president winds up trapped in the walled-off 212 area code, only Kurt Russell's eye-patched Snake Plissken can save him.
Past the initial premise and some cool-for-its-day opening computer graphics, Escape From New York is a film that's actually better in your memory than in reality—though nothing can take away from the chandeliers fixed to the hood of Isaac Hayes's car.
Does scientific research have boundaries? When is it moral to play God? And under what circumstances is it okay to have sex with your adoptive killer cross-species mutant child? (I can't answer the first two, but I think I have a pretty good answer for number three.)
