In the morning I drove back to Beirut with the Memming-ers and went to call on the Taplines public relations man, a Mr. Campbell. With him I found the big shot of Taplines public relations. Bill Lenahan, who had negotiated all the various pipe-line agreements with the Syrian, Lebanese and Transiordan grovernments. He didn t seem to have much... 

So when I heard that the regent was flying to Amman to visit his uncle, accompanied by the chief of staff and the minister of war, I felt even more strongly than before that I must go to Amman, too, and as soon as possible. Later that day reports came in that there would soon be a conference of all the big shots of the Arab League in Amman. Finally a British friend slipped me the news that an Iraqi brigade had set out to march by road to Transjordan to reinforce Abdullah s army in case an invasion of Palestine were decided on. 

The examples above are only typical. Endless variations are possible. For example, the hybrids are not restricted to be merely of the 3-dB type. An example is shown in Fig. 2.21 with a power split of 2.3/4.0dB. A former Ph.D. student Clayton Larson (now a successful Big Shot ) and the author needed such a hybrid for a very special antenna. Not being an off-the-shelf item, we had to either order one custom-made or make one ourselves. Clay those the latter approach (he was never too keen on telephone negotiations). Overnight he designed, cut the design with an exacto knife and assembled such a hybrid. The next morning we checked it out on the special antenna. It worked flawlessly. Thank you Clay. 

Droplet size. Big droplets settle faster than little droplets. Contrary to that nonsense we were taught in school, cannon balls do drop faster then BBs—if one accounts for the resistance of air (BBs are small spheres of lead shot used in air guns). 

Why is such a measurement difficult The probabilities to measure correspond to big deviations of the current from its average value, 11 — (J) (/, and are therefore exponentially small. For instance, in the shot noise regime PT(I) — exp (—(/)(/(//(A)jr/ej, Q I/(I)) 1 being the function to characterize. One has to concentrate on very rare measurement outcomes that occur with probability exp(—(/ r/e) 0. Such measurements can only be carried out with threshold detectors that discriminate these rare events. Let us discuss... 

The Watergate is a three-arched loggia, whose floor is barely above the surface of the Rio San Remo at high tide. That night the tide was out, exposing a slippery carpet of weed on the watersteps. I topped up a lantern with enough oil to bum until dawn and hung it in the central arch. Then I went back in and shot all the bolts on the big doors. 

At this time, Alpert received a huge, hand-embroidered robe brought by a lama from Tibet. Alpert, though appreciative, didn t know what to do with the robe. He decided to wear it while under DMT, considering this question about ecstasy. Alpert went into a meditation room at the top of the big house in the Millbrook estate. The smell of incense from the robe surrounded him as he shot DMT into his thigh and lay down. 

Experts and kibbitzers alike have lots of advice, but in a nutshell it boils down to the fact that Merck needs new blockbusters An R D shot in the arm. The big debate is over how to get that shot. 

Well the the creature is big and grean with a big head and big huge eyes in the front and back of this heard he/she has short arms And has big long legs with no toes then he shot laser beams into my eyes I guess so he could read my mind and that is why he did that Then I invited him into my house so we could play games.

WE HAD ARRIVED IN MARSH Harbour the day before for what was to be a boys-only portion of my dad s 70th birthday celebration. When we checked into the Abaco Beach Resort Boat Harbour, Tim noticed a photo pinned to the message board. We must be at the right place, he said. It was a shot of a 900-pound bluefin tuna caught during a fishing tournament earher in the summer — one of six big-time tourneys hosted by the resort each year. 

Most of us are aware of the big Codeine cough-syrup scare of the early 60 s. All of a sudden, with a history going back to the Civil War, we "discover" a few milder Codeine addicts are still around, and set out to stomp them out via the media. As a result, some heavy anti-cough syrup legislation was created, and millions of people became aware that Codeine existed. Abuse rate shot way up, and to this date we still have... 

An added note is that flu shots translate to a very big business — so, just follow the money. 

As previously stated, the big bang theory holds that a very small, very dense point in space was spinning very fast when it exploded and shot out aU the planets, stars, and other astral bodies that comprise the universe.
