I haven't used that one , but have used nordic subs before to subscribe to New Scientist.

And my choice out of the three would be Economist, Time is way too American-centric for my liking.

As Jepson said - look at the posts on here already about this place. I would have very big concerns but ultimately you have to make up your own mind.

Aw, that's okay, it'll be interesting to see what her response is ;-)

What's the guessing that she wants me to send her money for a flight...

I have sent her a message. True love awaits. :-x

I wouldn't risk it if it's clearly not safe to be turning out in it. Like said, it's alright for the students who will be local to the uni, but a lot of staff travel quite long distances these days. At work today, we're in an area where it's okay, but they shut one of the other offices up North - more because most of the people don't live locally so couldn't travel in easily.

So don't worry about trying to get in - the students will survive , I'm sure!

Well, apart from the strange guy at the bus stop this morning shouting random things at the passing traffic (not to be engaged with at 6.45 in the morning in the cold), it was actually really quite nice - because of the times I was travelling the bus there and back was pretty empty (flexible hours mean I work early) and it's one minute walk to the bus stop from my house and it drops off about 30 seconds walk from work! I may even be tempted to go again tomorrow...

After a rather slip slidey journey to work this morning and back home again, I'm thinking of using the bus to get to and from work (it goes from near my house and stops right outside work) for a few days until this ghastly weather has melted away.

But, dear reader, I haven't been on a bus for... well, the only buses I use these days are the ones to take me from the park and ride into Cambridge or Oxford. Public transport has long passed me by.

What are the do's and don'ts? Is it considered a faux pas to strike up conversation with my fellow travellers? Should I just plug my earphones in and listen to my ipod? Should I recall my life story to anyone who will listen?

Oh I'm a buffoon I should read more closely!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I blame lack of sleep!

As far as I was aware Equation Editor is built into Word.

Not sure what version you're using but here is for 2003:

Not the holy grail, no, but clearly there are benefits to being able to do it alongside a "normal" job - still get teaching practise, access to higher education (for those of us who don't work in academia), extra income, reduced fees for courses, all good to put on the cv as well.

But due to the massive cuts they're undergoing (whereby they no longer get funding for anyone studying for a second degree) they've pretty much slashed their use of external tutors and relying on existing staff to do courses so it's becoming really difficult to get teaching with them.

Can't help with your question but well done, I think I've given up even trying now.

It depends what you mean by fourth year, are you still doing "research" work or are you just writing up? I did all my research work within the three years I was funded for then took another year to write up (I worked at the same time hence why I was so damn long!) so it was 4 years until I actually submitted.

Went to see it a few weeks ago, thumbs up from me as well !(up)

Given that I am all three (and there is a wryly amusing element to being referred to one of those), I must say I've never heard of it and a quick scout of it looks... well... a bit naff to be honest.

If you want some decent free statistical software, go for R - http://www.r-project.org/

Dukan.

It's THE celeb diet of the moment if you believe all the magazines and papers (even the non trashy ones - I keep seeing it mentioned all over the place). French women get fat it seems and when they do they turn to Dukan.
