Advantages: Has everything I love in one show, dectectives, comedy, psychic powers and drama Disadvantages: None for me
Medium is an American Emmy winning drama about a woman with psychic powers called Alison Du Bois, brilliantly played by Patricia Arquette.
I think that the term medium in the sense of this programme is incorrect as mediums are usually seen as Derek Acccorah TV types, or funny old woman at fun fairs.
Alison Du Bois breaks away from this stereo type. She is married to Joe a aerospace engineer and they have three children, Arial, Bridgette and Marie. the normal family problems etc are shown but they also deal with 'strange' problems.
Alison has dreams which come true, she gets messages from beyond the grave and also dreams of past events from other peoples lives. This information is very confusing, scary and a great weight on her shoulders. What Alison does is very practical, she solves murders, kidnappings and various other ...

Advantages: Great storylines, great acting, fascinating Disadvantages: None
I first managed to catch this show on BBC2 late one evening. I had read about it in the TV guide, saying it was a new show about psychics starring the American actress Patricia Arquette. It didn't really sound like my cup of tea but there was nothing else on so I thought I would give it a go, and I am glad I did.

Allison was training to be an attorney when she realises that she was having visions about a case she was studying, and it turned out that she was having visions about the crime and it's perpertrators.

Uncle Bens's Medium Chilli Con Carne
I love spicy food and will often not only make my own recipes but will also buy-manufactured sauces when I am short of time. One of the sauces I have brought is Uncle Ben?s Medium Chilli Con Carne sauce.
** Packaging**
The sauce is contained in a clear glass jar with an orange lid and colourful paper labelling. The clear glass jar enables you to see the sauce before you buy and I have found that the kidney beans, tomatoes and onions can be clearly seen. I have also found that I have been able to judge the consistency of the sauce by a little shake of the bottle.
The label has the Uncle Ben?s logo in navy blue type on orange background. I found that this style of packaging helps the sauce to be easily identified.
The rear of the label shows Guideline Daily Amounts information ...
