Officer Joyner:
I happened to stop at a gas station at the corner of Anthony and Tillman the other day. When I got there, there were 3 FWPD vehicles parked out front (two of them illegally - one in an unmarked space and another in a handicapped space). When I went inside to make my purchase, all 3 officers were standing around talking and buying scratch off lottery tickets. They would lose, buy more, lose again, buy more, etc. I was there for about 10 minutes watching this happen. I further witnessed one of the officers go and get a cup, fill it with soda, drink it and NOT pay for it.
I find this highly disturbing. Are our tax dollars going to pay for 3 different officers to scratch lottery tickets and drink free soda? I find it hard to believe that there is no crime that needs fighting in the southeast area of town at any given time. Especially considering I watched 1 person run a red light as I was leaving the gas station. Would have been nice to see them get pulled over and ticketed, but alas - the officers were too busy gambling and stealing soda to do their jobs.
I'm not saying that FWPD officers don't deserve a break. But how is it okay for them to gamble in uniform and essentially steal soda while on their break? Just because you are a police officer doesn't give you the right to take what you want for free.

Welcome Lisa from Rutgers by way of Cherry Hill. Had to get a Rutgers Smoke up sometime soon so I brag about my alma mater being 4-0 and NATIONALLY RANKED right now. Gotta rub it in before they lose 5 in a row or Kenny Britt kills somebody in a DUI or something. Plus, besides the whole Rutgers thing, Lisa is WILD hot.

quote:Seattle will be the 6 seed
quote:Jim Mora
quote: Lots of season left. We just need to take care of our part.
quote:We've lost to one of the worst teams in the league, Chiefs(1-8), team tied for 2nd worst record, Panthers (2-7), and a team tied with the 3rd worst record, Redskins (3-6). You can't do this an expect to go to the playoffs.
quote:We'll have to win out and go 11-5 to have a chance, IMO. Even then, we'll probably need help. We would need Tampa, Minnesota, and Seattle to keep losing to get the other wildcard opposite the Packers/Bears
quote:I think this win over the falcons has us all riding high.
quote:So Mora is saying that a 4-5 team who is in a four way tie for the ninth worst record in the NFC
quote:We also have the best "strength of victory" in the NFC, (2nd best overall) and are only 2 games out of the Wildcard spot, and still play 3 teams who are in front of us in the standings.
quote:it's everyone in front of them needing to fall flat on their faces
quote:Mora is right Saints can win six of seven, that's not the issue it's everyone in front of them needing to fall flat on their faces still a long haul to go
quote:Now a respected commentator on the state of the NFL
quote: That's just it. I think we need more help than we will get. I just say lets keep winning games and see what happens. If it does, great. If not, I won't be crushed. We would have played hard and know where we stand headin into next season.

Broccoli Seeds
One of the easiest vegetables to grow and prepare.
Super-nutritious broccoli is one of the most versatile veggies. Puree steamed broccoli with milk and cheese for a creamy broccoli soup, eat it raw with dips, use it in chicken divan and other casseroles, or steam it and sprinkle with sharp cheddar cheese. Or toss florets with olive oil and salt and roast in a hot oven. Cool-season broccoli is easy to grow; start seeds indoors for an even earlier harvest. Sow a second crop in late summer for a fall harvest.
Green Sprouting Broccoli Seeds
Great hot or cold. The beauty of broccoli in the garden means great vegetable dishes plus crisp cold salads, too.

And she answers: Probably not.
Meditation is only one way to find stillness within. My husband sings in two choirs. A good friend walks in the woods. Well, I walk in the woods. I even like walking in the woods. But walking in the woods doesn't make me quiet. I feel refreshed, usually, and ready to go, but my mind is chattering away on the day's to-do list. Nothing wrong with that. It's just not meditation or mindfulness. Playing golf or baseball or any sport or game can quiet the mind for a while, which is one of the reasons people who do them love and crave these activities. Tedious daily chores, like washing dishes or brushing teeth, if done with focus can give a gift of a moment's stillness as the psychologist and long-time mediator Ron Siegel points out in his book The Mindfulness Solution.
I have a close colleague who worries too much, even when her life and her family's life is going well. She's a clinical social worker so telling her about cognitive-behavioral therapy won't help, she knows about cognitive behavioral therapy, she teaches cognitive behavioral therapy in a graduate social work program. So far I have dragged her to three continuing education workshops on meditation. The only one that took was the one that included yoga. Yoga is something she can get behind because it's exercise and therefore she doesn't consider it a waste of time. There are current studies that indicate that active forms of meditation - Yoga or Qi Gong, or Akido - are more effective than sitting for some people.
Meditation isn't for everyone and yet in my counseling practice the most surprising people take to it. A seventy year old church-going Methodist, a twenty-something, unemployed single parent both found that five minutes a day of loving-kindness meditation kept their anxiety level on a lower frequency throughout the day. Notice, the anxiety didn't vanish. But it got smaller, weaker, more manageable.
Now, a good researcher would note that in these anecdotes that I am not accounting for what is referred to as "non-specific effects." Non-specific effects are all the other parts of a situation that are not meditation: the trust and caring in our relationship, the clients' desire to please me, the simple act of taking five quiet minutes out of the noisy demands of the day.... any or all of these might b a significant part of the helpful impact. But when sitting with a person in pain I am happy to employ the non-specific entwined with the specific if they work together. I don't need to do research during that particular fifty minute session, especially if the client tells me she can generalize the experience to her daily life.
On the other hand, when a client says to me, "I can't meditate," I have learned to pay attention. Pushing someone to try meditation can backfire and has backfired on me. I once had a very self-critical, relatively new client. I tried doing some cognitive-behavioral work with him, but it didn't seem to go anywhere.
"I can't meditate," he said, when I offered this as an alternative. I urged him to try, just once. We did five minutes together.
"I couldn't do it," he said at the end of the five minutes.
No matter what I said about how it's a no-fail exercise he couldn't hear me, even though he nodded as if he were listening. I assume his self-criticism was too great. At the end of the session we made another appointment. But he never came back.
The moral of the story is: Meet the client where he or she is, not where you wish them to be. This is probably the most frequent moral one learns in stories of counseling failures.

In spite of the importance of self-confidence, not a lot of people have them. If you are not confident, it is now high time for you to have a new perspective. You should believe in your own and have the confidence that you can do things. Confidence, however, should not be mistaken with being boastful. Even if you have the confidence, this does not mean that you should appear arrogant. In the rest of this article, you will know some tips on how to have better self-confidence, which will surely resonate to a lot of changes in your life.
If you have the money, one thing that you can do is to undergo plastic surgery procedures. Most people lack confidence because they feel ugly. At this time, it is evident that most people use physical appearance as a way of judging others. Therefore, if you feel like you have facial features that should be adjusted, you can head to your trusted plastic surgeon for the job. If it is your weight that is bringing you down, you can look for the best liposuction NYC clinic that can help you lose extra pounds. Even if some people will judge you for having these treatments, the more important thing is that it improves your confidence. A regular workout and healthy diet will also be helpful.
To have better self-confidence, another thing that you should do is to keep on learning. This is in line with the fact that some people have low belief in themselves because of their lack of education. In an industry that is highly competitive, it may not suffice that you have a college degree. It is important to also have post-graduate degree that will allow you to be better than others. This will provide you with opportunities to learn more. You can also keep on attending seminars and workshops relevant to your career. If you are aware of new knowledge and skills in your field, you can exude better confidence.
Another thing that you can do is to talk to your family and friends. Ask them about the things they notice about you, including your weaknesses. Their opinions will let you know some of the points for improvement. Nonetheless, do not be hurt by what they are going to say, especially if they are just being honest with their opinions. As they would say, the truth hurts. Nonetheless, it will help you to improve yourself.
If you want to succeed in this world, regardless of the career path that you take, self-confidence is necessary. If you do not believe that you can do it and make it big out there, how do you think potential employers will accept you? Show them that you can through the tips that you have been mentioned above. For sure, these tips will allow you to reap significant rewards in ways more than one.

'Ball Game'
04 July 2011
'Ball Game'
Chicago. Day off.
Today was quite a rarity on the tour as not only are the tour crew and band entourage all in the same city but we all have a day off at the same time. Not only that but it's a public holiday so the entire city (nay, country) has the day off. This is the closest thing approaching normality that we've shared for a long time.
What could be more American than going out to the ball game on the fourth of July? Regular readers may have picked up on my not being the biggest sports fan on the planet, the sum total of the sports I follow being precisely zero. However, this seemed like a fun thing to do and everyone assured me that baseball is all about beer and hotdogs and "nothing to do with the game". If there was ever a sport for me, this then might be the kind of thing I could go with.
"Our" team was the White Sox whom, I was assured, aren't known for regular triumph so would no doubt lose today. This blank pessimism at least meant that I could settle into the culinary and cultural experience without any potential anxiety about the eventual outcome. We were being hosted by a friend with connections so, on arrival, found ourselves seated practically on the field, right next to what I gather is called the 'dug out'. This was quite fun as we could see the players hanging out and goofing around, giving us a perspective possibly akin to band guests being parked at the mix position ("what do all those people do in there?" etc.) The players would come up and do their stretches right by where we were sitting and even talk to the crowd, which made me feel at least a little connected to "our" team.
There was beer, there was nitrite-filled processed animal product, there was sunshine, there was endless noise and appallingly produced video clips – all in all, the perfect day out. Needless to say I didn't have a clue what the bloody hell was going on from start to finish but much to everyone's surprise "we" held the other lot to an even score right up until (apparently) "the bottom of the ninth". I gathered that if "our" current slugger did well "we" would win, so made a point of paying special attention as he took up his position and the pitcher walked to the mound. At this point, suddenly nothing happened and the stadium went berserk. Honestly, nothing happened – no ball thrown, no bat wielded, no whistle blown, nobody running about, absolutely nothing of any apparent consequence took place yet the entire place went absolutely mental. I assumed that perhaps the paint had finally dried but it turned out that "we" had won the game – just like that. One of our gang did try to explain, but I'd had too much beer to really care and was just happy that at least that the "sport" was out of the way and could get on with the post-game fireworks.
From here to Ethan's roof deck (he lives here) to while away the rest of the night with further beer on a perfect evening, watching the on-going fireworks above the city. All this and early to bed too.

concert boo
When Bono mentioned during the concert Larry, Adam and the crew went to the Sox game against Kansas City he was surprised by the loud booing from the crowd. Chicago has two baseball teams, the Sox and the Cubs and alliances are strong, you are a fan of one or the other not both, so the booing came from the Cub fans in the audience, not the KC fans that Bono thought were represented. It was cute, Bono was so shocked by the booing on such an "innocent" comment. (Go Cubs!)
13 July, 2011
The nothing that happened was a balk with runners at the corners, in case anyone else wondered.
13 July, 2011
Love the photo and the rant! You sound amazingly like me, though I may perhaps have been a bit more taken with watching the people consuming the beer and dogs. So nice that folks were able to enjoy a day off!

I was planning on resurrecting the tour diary today, being the day we were scheduled to fly to Auckland for the load-in tomorrow. However, its now old news that the remainder of the tour dates have been postponed, so Im not going anywhere further than the corner cafe. Its been a very weird week indeed - much akin to driving into a wall.

Puerto Rico memories
There's a colloquialism here in Ponce that speaks to the bravado of this southern coast historic town in Puerto Rico…"Ponce es Ponce."
Indeed on Monday night, "Ponce is Ponce" was on full display at a local gymnasium used mostly for volleyball, named for a great basketball player from Ponce, Juan "Pachin" Vicens.
The people of Ponce turned out in droves to see the Hall of Fame plaques and were entertained by a rousing program, featuring mayor Maria Melendez Altieri's infectious enthusiasm in presenting proclamations to Vera Clemente, Tony Perez and Roberto Alomar. The mayor also expressed her deepest thanks to the Hall of Fame and presented us gifts to show her appreciation.
Born in Ponce and raised in nearby Salinas, Robbie was the star of the evening, returning to his birthplace in the year of his Hall of Fame induction to boisterous applause. Father Sandy Sr. was also in attendance, as was Luis Clemente, Pituka Perez (Tony's wife) and Ponce native and former Yankees reliever Luis Arroyo, who, along with Vic Power, became the first Puerto Ricans selected for an All-Star Game in 1955.
Smiles were abundant, as both Robbie and Tony spoke passionately of their appreciation for the people of Ponce. Alomar spoke in praise of how much it means to be a native son of Ponce, while Perez talked of the memories he's shared over the years in this community, including watching winter league games here, when his son Eduardo, managed the Ponce club.
One of the single best moments of the entire trip served as the final touch to the plaque tour. Erik Strohl, our senior director for exhibitions and collections, told Sandy Sr. that he should have the honor of placing his son's plaque in its case for the long journey home. Known by his given name here on the island, Santos was aglow as he held Robbie's plaque, beaming with joy only a father could understand. Kudos to Erik for providing Sandy a memory of a lifetime.
As the plaques were packed securely by Erik and Evan Chase, our security director, the expression on the faces of our hosts for the last four days was simply priceless. Proud, joyous, exuberant, thankful and honored were the words said, but not uttered, in the universal language of visual emotion. No words were needed to understand what this journey was all about.
Moments later, Jeff, Erik, Evan and I were on board our Department of Sports and Recreation van, bound for the 110-mile journey back to the north end of the island. A police escort the entire way from Ponce to San Juan spoke volumes about the importance of this outreach to the commonwealth.
There's a shared emotion many of us have in Cooperstown on the Monday afternoon following induction weekend every year. We are always happy that we have reached the end, knowing that we have done our absolute best to deliver lifetime memories to so many people for celebration unlike any other in baseball. Yet, we have a sadness that the journey has ended far too soon.
As the sun rose this morning while we taxied on the runway at Luis Munoz Airport in San Juan bound for Charlotte and then Albany and Cooperstown, I looked out my window and was overcome with emotion. I was reminded of that post-Induction feeling we have at the end of July in Cooperstown. For the last four days on this island, we did what we as an organization does best – made the dreams of others come true. And for the first time ever, we did so with the great fans of Puerto Rico.
There's a line spoken by Gene Wilder in Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory that motivates me everyday that I have the high honor to represent the Hall of Fame: "We are the music makers and the dreamers of the dreams."
Understanding that baseball has the power to connect cultures, families and memories unlike anything else has never appeared more genuine than what transpired over the last four days. The people of Puerto Rico were so honored and moved by this celebration that is impossible not to be realize that for so many we encountered, this was truly a dream come true that we were able to facilitate.
"From Puerto Rico to Cooperstown. From Cooperstown to Puerto Rico."
(in Spanish: "De Borinquen a Cooperstown. De Cooperstown a Borinquen.")
It served as the title for our journey – in English and Spanish – and as we return home, it is crystal clear the journey doesn't end, and it does not have boundaries created by language. Rather, it continues a cycle of baseball history celebrated for nearly a century in the universal appreciation for the game and its heroes.
We are so honored and thankful for your kindness and hospitality, to everyone we encountered and all of those who shared a memory by viewing these treasures and baseball heroes.
Gracias Puerto Rico!
Brad Horn is the senior director of communications and education at the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum.

Spring has come to Montreal one day ahead of schedule, and man, has it come correct. It's a splendiferous afternoon up here, one I've happily wasted flitting around like a little butterfly, gazing through my office window as neighbors garden their front yards and stray cats strut about the sidewalk, repeatedly checking to see if the snow in our backyard has completely melted (it has not) and just generally jumpy as a junebug and grinning like an idiot. Seasonal affective disorder — what a real thing that is!
An hour or so ago I convinced the PhoBlograpHusband to take a stroll down Avenue Mont-Royal with me, just because, and also because I was hoping to find some sort of sidewalk-proffered gelato or sorbet. This weather's got citrus refreshment on my brain. We wound up settling for a carton of Five Alive — pardonez-moi, Cinq Alive (actually, they call it Deli-Cinq, "deli " being short for delicious, not delicatessen) — which I've dispensed into our Tovolo ice-pop molds.
While waiting for those to freeze, let's unironically enjoy a most ironically named cocktail, the Alaska. What a light and yummy cocktail perfect for in-the-sixties-and-sunny weather, with a sunny hue to boot. If you bought in on my yellow Chartreuse pitch from several weeks back, you'll be doubly pleased, because here's a recipe that makes good use of the liqueur.
I literally just saw two dudes walk past my window, one of them holding a bottle of limoncello. Spriiiiing!!!
The Alaska
(which I got from the Ultimate A-to-Z Bar Guide)
1 1/2 ounces gin
3/4 ounces yellow Chartreuse
2 dashes Peychaud's Bitters
Lemon wheel, to garnish
Combine all liquid ingredients in an ice-filled mixing glass and mix swiftly. Strain into chilled cocktail glass. Garnish.
Tasting Notes
The recipe as I read it called for a lemon twist. As you can see, I could not resist a full wheel given my giddiness for all things zesty today.

Students who have completed 24 units or more must participate in the Program/Plan selection process in May. This involves choosing the area of study (plan) that you wish to pursue. For some students this may involve requesting to change your degree program. For example, students may request a change of degree program from:
NOTE: Students who were admitted to the following programs do not participate in plan selection: Bachelor of Fine Art, Bachelor of Music, Bachelor of Physical and Health Education; or Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology.
For more information on degree programs offered in Arts and Science, please visit Degrees at a Glance.
To request your Program/Plan, log into your Student Centre in SOLUS. Program/Plan Selection is NOT first-come first-served and you may access the page as often as you wish. Please keep in mind, though, that each time you are accepted into a plan, a record of that change will be recorded on your student record and transcript.
If you need help navigating SOLUS please visit this link.
All plans in Arts and Science have minimum academic requirements that a student must satisfy in order to be admitted to that plan. To view the thresholds for all plans in Arts and Science please visit your department page and see the "What it takes" handout under Degree Plans and Options.
Each plan will have an automatic acceptance threshold and a pending list threshold. Once you have decided which plan you wish to pursue, access SOLUS to request that plan. Be sure to enter your desired plan first. When you enter your request one of three outcomes will occur:
Can I be on more than one pending list?
No, students can only be on one pending list. This means that if you choose another plan for which you are placed on the pending list, you will be removed from the first one. Plan selection ends on May 23. If you do not participate in plan selection you run the risk of not getting into the plan of your choice. It is critical that you are automatically accepted into a plan before the Plan selection period ends. Otherwise, you will not be able to register in your classes in July.
Following the Plan Selection process on SOLUS, departmental administrators will manually review all students on their pending lists. If a department accepts you from their pending list, your plan information in SOLUS will be updated and a new entry denoting the change will be recorded on your SOLUS record and transcript.
REMEMBER: Departments will be reviewing their pending lists until June 6th so you may not see a change to your plan until after that date.
3. Refused Admission for that Plan? If you do not meet the minimum requirements for the plan you want, please consider the following strategies:
Plan selection strategies
Program Plan Selection Flowchart >
Be sure to attend Information Sessions or obtain academic advice from the Departments.
The Plans found below indicate the minimum academic requirements to be automatically accepted or placed on a pending list for every available Plan in Arts and Science. All requirements include a minimum GPA and/or a minimum grade in a single course. If a course number is labelled with a #, this denotes a "wildcard", and any course number is acceptable. For example, PHYS 1## indicates that any of PHYS 104, PHYS106 or PHYS117 are acceptable.
Some Plans have other minimum prerequisite standards that must be met before a student can access second year courses. These are indicated in the "Notes" section of the tables. While the SOLUS system may accept a student into the Plan, if they do not hold the correct prerequisites they may not be able to complete the degree within the usual timeframe, and may be at a significant academic disadvantage in upper year courses.
Please note: These academic thresholds are for students applying to plans from first-year going into second year. They are not applicable to upper-year students wishing to change their plan. All upper-year student change of plan requests are pending departmental approval which may or may not reflect the thresholds below.
While every attempt is made to ensure our web pages are up-to-date and accurate, sometimes errors occur. The content on these pages of this website is for your general information and use only. It is subject to change without notice.
Please note that the thresholds listed below, are for the 2014-2015 academic year. The thresholds for the 2015-2016 academic year will be updated starting in February, 2015.
With a few limitations, electives may be chosen freely from any course offered through the Faculty of Arts and Science and are in addition to those required for the Plan component of the degree. Check with your subject of interest for a list of electives available to take.
Course from other Faculties and Schools at Queen's may also be used towards the elective component of the degree. Some of the most common choices are noted below, but also consult the Degree Programs section of the Arts and Science calendar for a complete list.
Up to 24.0 units in any Commerce (COMM) course offered by the School of Business may be used as an elective in Arts and Science. However, not all COMM courses are open to registration by Arts and Science students.
Engineering and Applied Science courses may be used as electives, or towards the Plan requirements of Programs in Arts and Science. Special permission is required for registration in these courses, and students should consult with the Student Services Office and the Undergraduate Chair in their home department before attempting to register. Students should also note that the unit weighting system in the Faculty of Engineering and Applied Science differs from that in all other faculties at Queen's. Therefore, such courses may be reweighted when applied as credit towards an Arts and Science degree Program.
Selected courses are available as elective choices from the Schools of Nursing (NURS), Urban Planning (SURP), Religion (THEO) and the Faculty of Law (LAW). Most of these courses are only available to students in certain Plans, or with permission of the other School or Faculty concerned.
Some Plans in Arts and Science require the student to take supporting courses. These are courses in a subject different from that of the Plan but are required prerequisites for upper year courses. An example would be a first year calculus course in a Physics Plan.
When combining Plans in Medial or Major-Minor degrees, courses common to the two Plans cannot be shared between the requirements of the two Plans. In such cases, an alternative must be chosen. Supporting courses are the exception to this rule: a supporting course in one Plan can be used towards the requirements of the other, increasing the number of electives available to the student. See the Degree Programs section of the Arts and Science calendar for complete details of how courses are shared between Plans.
Achieving a 3.50 or above GPA on all courses taken during an academic year (from Sept 1 to Aug 31) will place a student on the Dean's Honour List.
To be placed on the Dean's Honour List with Distinction, a student must have achieved an academic year GPA in the top three percent (3%) of all students within Arts (BA, BAH, BFA, BFAH, BMus, BPHE, BPHEH) or Science (BSc, BScH, BCMP, BCMPH). Based on previous performance levels, a minimum academic year GPA of approximately 3.90 in Arts and 4.10 in Science will be required. These values may vary from year to year. In addition, there may be no Incomplete (IN), Deferred (GD), Failure (F) grades, or repeated courses during the year in question.
To graduate, students must have a minimum GPA on all courses taken at Queen's (cumulative GPA), as follows:
Cumulative GPA | Degree Eligibility |
1.60 or above | 3-year degree: B.A., B.Sc., B.Cmp., B.F.A., B.P.H.E. |
1.90 or above | 4-year Honours degree: B.A.(Hons.), B.Sc.(Hons.), B.Cmp.(Hons.), B.F.A(Hons.), B.P.H.E.(Hons.), B.Mus. |
Specific course requirements for all these degrees remain unchanged.
Students are expected to maintain a cumulative GPA of 1.60 or above to remain in good academic standing. Students who fail to achieve the following cumulative GPA standards when they are evaluated in May of each year may receive an academic sanction.
Cumulative GPA | Sanction |
Below 1.60 | Placed on Academic Probation (if you are a new student or are currently in good academic standing) or Required to Withdraw (if you are currently on academic probation) |
Below 0.70 | Required to Withdraw |
The first time a student is required to withdraw, it will be for a period of one year. They may then return to Arts and Science on academic probation. If they are required to withdraw a second time, it will be for a period of three years.
How will repeating a course affect my GPA?
If you repeat a course, only the highest grade earned will be used when calculating the cumulative GPA. Repeating a failed course: If you repeat and pass a course that you previously failed, your GPA will increase, likely to a significant extent. The previous failed attempt will remain on your transcript but the failing grade will be excluded from your GPA.
How will taking a course that is an exclusion of another course affect my GPA?
An exclusion* is a set of two or more courses that are not the same, but that have considerable overlap in content such that both may not count towards the requirements of your degree. Students are not normally permitted to enrol in a course that excludes one that they have already taken. If you obtain permission to take a course that is an exclusion of another course(s) that you have taken, the grades in all excluded courses will contribute to your GPA, but only the course with the highest grade will count for credit. For example: SOCY 211/3.0 and STAT 263/3.0 are exclusions. *Exclusions are identified in the Academic Calendar course descriptions or in SOLUS in the following manner: EXCLUSION: No more than 3.0 units from BIOL 243/3.0; ECON 250/3.0; GPHY 247/3.0; KNPE 251/3.0; POLS 385/3.0; PSYC 202/3.0; SOCY 211/3.0; STAT 263/3.0.
How will my transcript be evaluated externally?
Your Queen's transcript is an important record of your academic achievements in university, but it is by no means the only indicator of your overall abilities: building a good resume and a network of individuals who can act as references is also very important. Having said this, it is important to remember that those evaluating your transcript are likely to be looking at a lot more than just your GPA. They are going to be far more interested in such things as: what courses did you take? How long did you take to complete your degree? How consistent is the student's performance? How applicable are the skillsets and knowledge you have acquired as an undergraduate to the position/award to which you are applying?
Once a student has completed at least one year of studies at Queen's they may qualify for an upper year awards.
Some upper year awards require students to submit an application to the Student Awards Office or their Faculty. To apply for the majority of these awards students should submit a resume and letter explaining how they meet the selection criteria for the specific award. Please review the specific details of each award for deadline dates and how to apply. A list of all upper year awards requiring a separate application can be found on the Awards List section of the website.
At the end of each academic year Faculties review student achievement and top students are selected to receive one (or more) of the many upper year scholarships, prizes and other merit-based awards. Students do not need to submit an application as these upper year awards are granted automatically by your Faculty. You will be notified by the Student Awards Office if you have been selected for an award. For a complete list of the upper year awards not requiring an application, please visit the Awards List section of the website.
You may see all of your Queen's administered awards and scholarships on SOLUS (Student Center)! To view your awards, simply log into SOLUS (using your Queen's NetID and password) and click on the "View Financial Aid" hyperlink, available in the "Finances" section. Once there, you will be able to view your scholarships and awards broken down per academic year.
Thinking about where you are going to live next year? There are limited spaces available in residence for upper-years' – applications will be accepted until February and will be selected by lottery. Visit the Residence website for more information.

Frequently Asked Questions
July 2014
For the 2014 registration period a class wait list option is available on a select number of Arts and Science classes. The wait list option gives you an opportunity to join a wait list for a class that is full. Not all Arts and Science classes will be set up with wait lists. Click here to see which 2014-15 Fall-Winter classes have wait lists.
Why don't all classes have wait list?
This is a pilot project to use a small number of single-section popular courses to test the way wait lists work in PeopleSoft and to determine how best to communicate the outcomes of auto-enrolment from the wait lists to students. Once we have reviewed the success of the introduction of class wait lists and determined that it is successful, we will assign wait lists to more classes in the future.
How does the wait list work?
Once a class is closed (full), students may choose to join the wait list for the class. When searching for classes in SOLUS, you must deselect the box labelled: "Show Open Classes Only". If the class is open, you will see a green circle. If the class is full and there is space available on the wait list, you will see an orange triangle. If the class is full and all spaces on the wait list are full, you will see a blue square.
When you choose to join a wait list you will be informed of your position on the wait list. Once a wait list has been initiated, the class will remain closed until the auto-enroll process is run. The auto-enroll process will be run every two hours and will check for space in classes that have wait lists. If there is space in the class, the next person on the wait list will be enrolled in the class.
NOTE: A student's position on the wait list will not change unless a student with a lower wait list number is auto-enrolled in the course or removes him/herself from the wait list. Therefore one student cannot normally move ahead of another student on the wait list.
If an enrolled student drops a class that has a wait list, how are students moved from the wait list into the class?
Students are auto-enrolled from the wait list into the class by their priority ranking in the wait list. For example, if a class is full and 3 students drop the class, students in wait list positions numbers 1, 2 and 3 will be auto-enrolled from the wait list if there are no factors preventing their enrolment. The student who was previously ranked number 4 will then be ranked number 1, and will be the next student auto-enrolled if another enrolled student drops the class. This process will continue until the wait list is empty.
I see that there is a space available in the class, but the class is still showing as closed. Why?
When there are students on a wait list for a class, that class will remain closed until all of the students have been moved from the wait list into the class. In other words, when there are students on the wait list, another student cannot bypass the wait list and enroll in the class if he/she sees that a space has become available.
When can I wait list for a class?
A student may choose to join a wait list during the following time periods:
July 28 to August 1 – you may wait list for Fall and Winter Term classes
September 3 to 19 – you may wait list for Fall and Winter Term classes
September 20 to January 16 – you may wait list for Winter Term classes only
How many classes can I be on a wait list for?
July 28 to August 1: During the summer class selection period, full-time students may wait list in a maximum of 3.0 units per term. During this time period wait listed courses are included in your maximum term load of 15.0 units per term. Part-time students may wait list for a maximum of 3.0 units per term. During this time period wait listed courses are included in your maximum term load of 9.0 units per term.
September 3 to January 16: During the Open Enrolment period, full-time students may wait list for a maximum of 6.0 units per term. During this time period, wait listed courses are included in your maximum term load of 18.0 units per term.
TIP! If you wish to enroll in the maximum units per term but also want to be on a wait list for another class, you must use the SWAP feature when joining a wait list, indicating which class you would like to be dropped if you are auto-enrolled from the wait list. If you simply ADD the wait listed class you will never come off the wait list because that would exceed your term limit.
By adding yourself to a class wait list, you are acknowledging that you may be auto-enrolled and will therefore be responsible for the additional tuition and for dropping the class if you no longer wish to take it.
How many spots are there on the wait list?
10% of the class capacity has been set aside for wait list spots. So, if the maximum capacity in the class is 100, there will be 10 wait list spots available.
Can I go on a wait list for a class that meets at the same time as another class that I am enrolled in?
Yes, but in order to do this you will need to use the "SWAP" function in SOLUS to put yourself on the wait list. By using the swap function, SOLUS will add you to the wait listed course when a space becomes available and also drop you from the class you choose to swap.
How do I know where I am on the wait list?
When you choose to be added to a wait list you will be informed of your position on the wait list. You can check your position on the list at any time in SOLUS. If you decide that you no longer want to be wait listed for the course, you can remove yourself from the wait list in SOLUS.
What are my chances of getting into the wait listed class?
That will depend on your position on the wait list and whether or not students enrolled in the class decide to drop the class.
How will I know if I have been enrolled in the class I wait listed for?
You will NOT be notified of the success/failure of the auto-enrolment process. You must login to SOLUS regularly to check your class status. If you have been enrolled in the class you will see that class is no longer waitlisted and has been added to your schedule.
If I don't get in the class, will I just stay on the wait list forever?
Class wait lists will be purged following the last date to add a class in the term in which the course is offered.
What would prevent me from getting on a wait list?
• You are trying to add yourself to a wait list before the start of your enrollment appointment time.
• You have exceeded the maximum number of units allowed for the term.
• You are trying to exceed the maximum number of wait list units.
• You do not meet the pre- or corequisites for the course.
• There are no more wait list seats available for the course.
• You have a hold on your record that blocks enrolment.
I am number one on the wait list and a spot opened up in the class but I didn't get in. How come?
You may not be auto-enrolled from the wait list into the class if any of the following have changed since you were added to the wait list for the class:
• You added another class that puts you over the maximum number of units allowed for the term.
• You dropped a class that was a pre- or corequisite for the wait listed class.
• The wait listed class will cause a timetable conflict with another class in which you are enrolled.
• A hold that blocks enrolment has been added to your record since you were added to the wait list for the class.
If none of the items above applies to you, please contact the Faculty Office for assistance.
• You should enroll in open classes prior to requesting to be added to a wait listed class.
• If you want to drop a class that you are enrolled in if you are able to be auto-enrolled from the wait list for another class, be sure to use the SWAP function in SOLUS to add yourself to the wait list.
• You should check your enrolment regularly to see if you have been added to the wait listed class. If you see that other students have been added ahead of you, you will know that there is a problem with your enrolment that is causing the auto-enroll to fail (see things to check above).
• If you no longer wish to be on the wait list you must remove your request in SOLUS.
• Once a class wait list has been initiated, no one other than the students on the wait list will be allowed to enroll in the class. If spaces become available in the class and the wait list is also empty then the class will become open again.
• Your position on the wait list will change only if other students ahead of you become auto-enrolled or remove themselves from the wait list.

Colours: Off-White
As I was shooting pictures for this post, other Dreamers would walk by and ask "Is the colour for December white?" And before I could fully huff about "off-white" they'd correct themselves with "I mean Ivory!" or "Ecru!" or "Natural!"
Our colour search calls it "Off White – Natural", because that's the best general term for a colour that isn't really a colour at all! Too pale to be "Beige – Tan" and too much colour to be "White", off-white things can't really even be called pastels. The one unifying thing that they seem to have are undertones of beige or yellow that visually dirties their whiteness (you could even say it makes them a bit "off"). The phrase "natural" comes from the natural colour of undyed yarn, which is the meaning behind "Ecru" as well. Words like "Ivory" or "Eggshell" are descriptive terms that mean the same thing in this colour context. "Not white!"
Disclaimer time! I'm not trying to define off-white. If you want some poem-like lists of names for shades of off-white, both Wikipedia and the Color Sorting Wiki are kind of amazing resources. I've done my best to accurately represent these hues in relation to each other, so you can gather a good idea of what matches and what doesn't.
Dream Stockings & Dreamer Socks
Mostly we use "natural" as the name for our off-white. It's a nice bright and clean off-white that pairs nicely with pastels and deep earth tones alike.
From left to right: OTK Tube Socks, Extraordinary Thigh Highs, O Chevrons, O Basics, Long Cuffable Scrunchable Socks, Dreamy Bamboo Patterned OTKs
Their crochet styles have a strong ivory-yellow tone, less so in the nylon Trentata.
From left to right: Doris Crochet Trouser Sock, Codori Crochet Tights, Trentata Italian Trouser Sock
EG Smith
Though their Heather Socklings in Cloud are a bit of an outlier, overall EG Smith's "Natural" is a close colour to our house brand "Natural"! Their Nuby Crew does sometimes get darker (more manila folder looking in tone), but overall it stays close to the rest.
From left to right: Heather Socklings, Ribbed Boot Socks, ECO Organic Nuby Crew, ECO Natural Hemp Crew Sock
Foot Traffic
A lovey use of ivory across several styles and in a subtle range of shades, Foot Traffic has two styles that use "Ivory" as a name, but they aren't very.
From left to right: Cotton Rag Boot Socks, Double Fishnet Trouser Socks, Cotton Lace Anklets, Signature Cotton Tights, Textured Cable Acrylic OTKs, Opaque Solid Nylon Trouser Socks, Four Button Rib Leg Warmers, Ribbed Knit Leg Warmers, Lace Knee High Boot Sock
Along with a refined "Ivory" that is almost gleaming, there's a particular cleanness to Tabbisocks' "Natural." And yes, their Harajuku Chic Leg Warmers are actually "White", but they're also the same colour as the Crochet Lover OTK in Ivory, so there's today's mystery!
From left to right: Harajuku Chic Leg Warmers, Crochet Lover OTK, Harajuku Arm Warmers, Color Tights
There's more than these three, but they're good representatives of various brands' single entries into off-white.
From left to right: High Waist Crop Legging, Ribbed Wool OTK, Crochet Net Lace Top Anklet
Off-white can be split into about five categories, two are pretty straightforward and just lean warm or cool, let's look at those first.

EG Smith tights: back and better than ever!
Holiday-tastic styles are parked in the top three rows of the What's New page, so you might have missed the return of two old favourites.
Somewhere in the tail end of 2011, we stopped carrying EG Smith's "Leg Therapy" tights, along with their thigh highs and OTKs. Why? Well, I dug into my dusty email archives for what we were telling folks back then and unearthed this ancient scroll form letter:
And so we waited and tested, and tested some more. EG Smith made sure to send us lots of samples so we could give them thorough wears and washes to make sure the old problems (dye bleeding, surprise holes) were fixed. Once we were satisfied, we then had to wait for EG Smith to have enough stock to send us, because we knew there were a LOT of you waiting for their triumphant return.
But the wait is over! We're being cautious, because as much as we tested them, there are only so many of us Dreamers. So we've started out with just the Solid Cotton Tights and the Heather Footless Cotton Tights.
Now, they are different from your old pairs of EG Smith Leg Therapy styles, so let's take a look.

Tips & Tricks: Baby & Kids' sizes
There are places out there that specialise in the complicated world of kid-sized socks, so we leave that main focus to them. But we still want to be able to offer you awesome folks awesome socks for your awesome little footed friends (and selves!). Since this time of year has folks shopping for shoe sizes they may not normally be looking for, here are some quick tips!
Though the category says "Baby & Kids", right now we almost have more kid's styles than baby-sized styles. What's the difference? And what about toddlers?! Let's talk sizing. First off, the age of a kid sometimes has little to do with their foot size. Some kids have big paws that they'll grow into later, some have little feet, just like in adults.
The baby and kids' sizes we have fall in four-ish very general categories that are influenced by how our suppliers, like Sock It To Me, size their children's socks. There are some basic inch-length differences between the umbrella sizes ("Baby", "Toddler", "Big Kid", "Little Kid") that we've found hold pretty true across most children's foot sizes. I'll be referring to Zappos' shoe size conversion chart as I know it's one you (and I!) use as a general reference for shoe sizes, but be sure to check the Sizing Tips for the styles you're looking at and drop us a line if you have any questions. Let's dive in!
Baby socks have feet around 3 inches long, unstretched, which is perfect for most newborns and folks under eighteen months. Shoe-size-wise, they're about an Infant size 2 and smaller. These wee socks are squee-ingly adorable in their minute proportions. If you're getting socks for somebody's first Christmas, these styles will probably be the best match for their feet. If you want to look at just socks this size, click here (or search "Infant" and limit the results to the Baby & Kids category). The styles below are some of our favourites:
• Baby Birdseye Socks •
• B.Ella Katy Striped Wool Socks •
Toddler socks have feet around 4 inches long, unstretched, they also fit bigger-footed babies, though if somebody isn't toddling, extra fabric on the end isn't too much of a problem. When it comes to shoes, they're around an Infant size 2.5 to about a Toddler size 5. Once folks start walking, what socks fit them (and their hilariously tiny shoes) best starts to really vary! But most folks under three should do okay in these styles. Which styles? Click here to see toddler styles (or search "Toddler" and limit the results to the Baby & Kid's category). Here are a couple of our favourites:
• Wee Marvin Baby & Kids Midcalf •
• Toddler & Kid's Two Pack •
Now, you may have noticed that Polar Feet's styles with kid sizes came up in the Toddler search. This is because the smaller size is called "Toddler" and they're slipper socks, so the extra room in the toes (as modelled by Little Dreamer Izzy, below) isn't that big a problem.
Bigger toddler feet fit them fabulously, as the smaller end of their fit scale is a Toddler size 6. The same goes for the Hooray Hoopla "V.S." socks, they're a great match for bigger toddler feet. But both the Polar Feet and Hooray Hoopla socks are more properly . . .
Little kid socks, which have feet around 5 inches long, unstretched, are generally designed for folks in the 5-8 years old range, they fit at least a Toddler shoe sizes 6 through 8, but their stretch can let them fit up to a Little Kid shoe size 1 to 3, depending on style or brand. The age and shoe range starts to get a bit murky around here, because growth spurts rule the day for this age range. Be sure to look at the Sizing Tips for the styles you're interested in, to make sure they fit the little kid you're shopping for.
Overall, little kid socks are too big for pretty much all toddlers (though again, it all depends on the kid) and too small for middle-schooled folks. Sock It To Me calls this size "Youth" and our Dreamer Socks for little feet use the same terminology. Click here to see all the styles in this size (or search "Little Kid" and limit the results to Baby & Kids category). Don't be confused by the adult feet you see in some thumbnails, those styles just come in three sizes, one of which is for bigger feet! Some favourites:
• Kid's Lightweight Toe Socks •
• Ninja Knee High •
Big kid socks, which have feet around 6 inches long, unstretched, are generally designed for folks in the 7-12 age range, but because of the stretchiness of socks, there's a lot of give in this size. They fit at least a Toddler shoe size 8.5 to a little kid size 11, but with their stretch, some sizes fit up to a US women's shoe size 6!! Holy cow, guys. You can see why we tend to be general in size naming and try to put foot length in the Sizing Tips for children's socks!
Remember, each brand or style is going to be a bit different, so be sure to look at those Sizing Tips! Sock It To Me calls this size "Junior" and our Dreamer Socks for little feet use the same terminology. Check out all the big kid options by clicking here (or search "Big Kid" and limit your results to Baby & Kids). There are some fun styles in this size range and a lot of overlap with the Little Kid styles, most of which have two sizes:
• Pirate Kid's Knee High •
• Little Dreamer Bamboo Socks •
Special bonus! By clicking here, or searching "Big Kid" and limiting the results by clicking "Small Feet" under Category, you can find all the kid sizes that fit up to a US women's shoe size 5 or 6 (depending on style and brand). How do we know they fit up that big? Because grown-up Dreamer feet have tried 'em on! In fact, both of these styles have smaller-sized adult feet modelling them:
• Kid's Shark Midcalf •
• Slugs Kid's Midcalf •
We know having a smaller shoe size can make sock shopping frustrating, so drop us a line if you have any questions! There are some sneaky styles that fit far better than you'd think!
And as for those growing kid feet, don't stress too hard about the sizes. When in doubt, round their size up, because before you know it, they'll be fitting them.

Tips & Tricks: The big ol' Ordering & Present-picking post!
It is now officially holiday shopping season. We know it can be stressful, finding just the right thing for somebody (or yourself). Whether you're having trouble choosing a style, figuring out fit, ordering and shipping your socks or all of it is dumb, why are presents so hard—don't worry, we've got some tips and tricks to simplify the process!
I'm going to try and get all the tips and tricks and hyperlinks together in one place here, so buckle in for a longer post, but bookmark it, because I think it'll be a good source of help for this and future holiday seasons! At the verrrrry end of this post are a bunch of links, so if you're short on time, skip down there!
Picking styles for yourself and others
Even for yourself, creating a wishlist is a fun and useful thing. If you try to leave items in your shopping cart as a way to hold onto a style, they don't always stay in your cart! Remember, other people are shopping too and they might be quicker on the draw for that last pair. We recommend folks finish their orders in an hour to make sure everything is there.
So, if you can, encourage folks you're shopping for to make a wishlist. We added wishlists in 2011, and they're easy as pie to use. Just make sure you're signed in and click that little "Add to wishlist" button!
Wait, "signed in"?! Yep, even though you can shop as a "guest" and not have an account, it can help a lot for tracking orders and making wishlists if you have one. If you have questions about your account, they're probably answered in the Account FAQ, we do our best to keep all our info up to date and useful!
Okay, but what do you fill that tempting wishlist with? And how do you know that the styles you're buying for someone will fit them? Does knowing their dress size help, or that they're "slim"? Or, if you know they wear plus-size styles, then you can't get them anything that says "one size", right?
Nope! "One Size" and dress sizes don't mean a thing when it comes to fitting socks and legwear!
Figuring out fit
First off, as Dreamer Zaf says in this fabulous Tumblr post, when we say "one size" "Never, ever, ever do we mean One Size Fits All. Generally, we mean it only comes in the one size."
So, if you click the drop-down box for size (the middle one, after the one you use to choose colour) and you see "One Size" is the only choice, then we sadly don't have any other size options for this style.
Sometimes (most particularly with Leg Avenue), there will be a "One Size" and a "Plus Size" in the drop-down. This is a combination of things, based partially on what the supplier calls a size (and how it is then entered into our system) and a result of a style gaining a larger size at a later date.
But we could call One Size "fishcakes" and use the word "marabou" to mean "Plus Size" and it doesn't really matter. Just like in clothing, sizes are different across suppliers and styles, so we do our best to make sure the Sizing Tips on each product page gives you all the information you need to know if what this particular iteration of "Plus Size" or "Small" or "fishcakes" is right for you. Even if that means we end up writing what looks like a tl;dr of info. I think the greatest example of which is the Professional Fishnet Tights with Cotton Sole.
But, if you're looking for a good fit, then that highlighted Sizing Tips box is your best buddy! For example, when searching our Plus Size category you will see styles with only a "One Size" option, but that doesn't mean it won't fit some plus size bodies. And "Small" in a lot of brands (like Cronert, or Dream Stockings) is about foot size, not leg size. With your measurements in hand, you'll know if a large kid's size is actually exactly your small foot size.
Dreamer Zaf talks more about the importance of measuring on our Tumblr, but here are the basics:
• Know the measurements of the person you're shopping for •
• Don't worry about what the size is called, look at what that size fits •
• If our Sizing Tips say something should fit but it doesn't, let us know •
Okay, okay, so what measurements do you need to know? And how do you get those measurements for someone without ruining the surprise of a gift?!

November Dreamers Recommend!
We used to have a LOT of November birthdays. I want to say it was like 20% of our very small staff seemed to have a birthday this month, which added a lot of cake and joy into one of our busiest seasons.
Nowadays we only have three birthdays in November, two folks from our "Downstairs" house brand team, Rachel and Stephanie, and our original king of the shipping department, Mr. Natosi.
One of my favourite things about Rachel is that she brings some of the most ace props when modelling socks. She's another one of the Dreamers with an almost supernatural ability to match and complement colours across an outfit and I end up clapping my hands gleefully when I see how she's put the socks I need to shoot to work!
• Neon Striped Acrylic OTKs •
• Vinyl Records Crew •
• Rainbow Net Fingerless Gloves •
Rachel's favourites are a regular favourite for a lot of us, and for good reason. She says:
My current favorite socks are the O Dreamy Stockings. They're warm, comfortable, and the yarns are always so beautiful. Plus they're easy to wear with lots of different outfits due to all of the colors contained in just one sock. They're always at the top of my OTK sock drawer.
I love that she paired the Shorty Scrunchable Warmers in Teal with these. The jewel tones of the Shorty Scrunchables is a perfect foil to the secret vividness of the dark marls of the O Dreamy in Nebula.
Stephanie knew exactly what her favourite socks were: slipper and house socks, the cosiest of them all! She says:
Most important criteria for a favorite sock: coziness. I can dig dressing up socks for daytime wear, but if it isn't soft, squishy, and ultimately made for lounging, it will sit at the bottom of my drawer. My favorites right now are the Lumberjack Fleece Knee Highs, but basically anything from Polar Feet is great. I used to think that color didn't factor into what socks I sported more, but based on what socks have the most wear, I suppose I like warm colors! Bonus if it is space dyed, marled, velvet, or tie dyed!
You can tell that the Lumberjack Fleece Knee Highs are a top fave because she's worn them in well. I love how extra cozy this fleece gets as it is washed, worn and loved.
At first, Mr. Natosi couldn't remember the name of his favourite socks, "the textured ones" he said, having the same problem most of us do when trying to remember the name of one of our over 1,000 styles. I had a guess that it was one of B.Ella's newer cotton larger-footed midcalves and I was right! Their casual dapperness totally matches his style.
I also had to make sure to grab a snap of the arm warmers he's wearing today, because I honestly can't picture Mr. Natosi without them. He's had his thumbs in almost every arm warmer style we carry!
• Acrylic Fingerless Gloves •
• Harajuku Arm Warmers •
• Polonova Velvet Wrist Warmers •
• Alpaca Cable Hand Warmers •
Cozy slipper socks, warm, layerable styles and arm warmers! Snuggle up, November birthday folks, it's going to be quite the winter and those favourite socks of yours will be keeping you warm!

Raynaud's phenomenon is a condition in which cold temperatures or strong emotions cause blood vessel spasms. This blocks blood flow to the fingers, toes, ears, and nose.
Raynaud's phenomenon can be linked to other conditions. This is called secondary Raynaud's phenomenon. Most people with the condition are over age 30.
Common causes are:
Raynaud's phenomenon can also occur without another cause. This is called primary Raynaud's phenomenon. It most often begins in people younger than age 30.
Strong emotions or exposure to the cold bring on the changes.
People with primary Raynaud's phenomenon have problems in the same fingers on both sides. Most people do not have much pain.
People with Raynaud's phenomenon that is due to other medical conditions are more likely to have pain or tingling in the fingers. The pain is rarely severe. Ulcers may form on the affected fingers if the attacks are very bad.
Your health care provider can often detect the condition by doing a physical exam and asking you questions.
Tests that may be done to confirm the diagnosis include:
Blood tests may be done to diagnose arthritic and autoimmune conditions that may cause Raynaud's phenomenon.
Taking these steps may help control Raynaud's phenomenon:
Your health care provider may prescribe medicines to relax the walls of the blood vessels. These include topical nitroglycerin cream that you rub on your skin, calcium channel blockers, sildenafil (Viagra), and ACE inhibitors.
It is vital to treat the condition causing Raynaud's phenomenon.
The outcome varies. It depends on the cause of the problem and how bad it is.

This much we learned in scattered wisps of conversation as the Army's embryonic weather- men were rushed from girl to girl Saturday night. We discovered in addition that meteorologists are nice people who are being sub- mitted to unbelievable tortures in the way of training: four years of higher math in something like twenty-eight weeks. We shudder sympathetically. Supposedly all of the hundred and fifty taking the course were . to be entertained, and at least a quarter of the undergraduates showed up in the gym in their best bibs and tuckers. As one came in the door scarcely a uniform could be spotted in the seas of women. � � Someone had unexpectedly given out weekend leaves and the largest share of the be/BTTtTbrmed ones had promptly fled" the vicinity of sub- urban Philadelphia. To greener fields, perhaps, but they little guessed what they were missing. With the discovery that there were approximately four girls to every pie-meteorologist, the dance began and kept whirling the entire eve- ning. Songs from the Freshman Show took care of the floor show, with Errol Flynn successful as ever. The air corps representation was swelled by the addition of one civilian and about six French sail- ors. The general reaction of the meteorologists was at first amazed disbelief that there could be so many girls in one place, and shaded off to a please satisfaction that there were. There seemed to be several jit- terbugs with dominant personali- ties, for even the most dignified Seniors found themselves indulging in the more violent form of Ameri- can folk-dancing. If the uniniti- ated did not realize that the process of jitterbugging involved using both hands and happened to be using only one, her partner help- fu'ly extended his hand with "Try this for size;" "Fit the palm" or even "Mit me." We conclude from this that we will have to learn�"B complete new yocabulary if we are to understand meteorology. Naturalistic Theory Refuted in Lecture Presented by Kohler Common Room, March 4.� There is an unnecessary antagon- ism between science and philoso- phy, Dr. Wolfgang Kohler, noted Gestalt Psychologist, pointed out in his lecture, The Naturalistic In* | tcidictation of Man. If philoso- phy would only abate its claims that man is a supernatural being, j and if science would taHe a more catholic and flexible view of na- ture, he believes their respective duties could be reconciled. The clue to such a reconciliation, Dr. Kohler said, lies in^the struc- ture of the brain as corresponding to the structure of the perceived world, and in the recognition that there is an ideal of "fittingness" that controls all natural activity, human and sub-human. Dr. Kohler discussed various in- terpretations of man with particu- lar reference to the present "era of gloom." The Agnosticism and Relativism of today are the out- come of the old theory of Positiv- ism, he said. The gloom of the present he blames on the natural- istic interpretation of man. This interpretation argues that man, as any other natural being, is evolved from nature, and that the mind of man is no marvel, but simply a natural product of evolution. The theory of evolution has no effect on the human mind, Dr. Kohler insisted. It can no more change the qualities of the human mind than it can change the laws of physics and chemistry. The natural interpretation of man will "act as a Trojan Horse in our midst and destroy all ambition in the younger generation." Dr. Kohler used an illustrative dialogue to expound the various ideas which have been proposed to solve the serious problem of build- ing a bridge between man and nature. Tappen Makes Plans As Undergrad Head Kay Tappen was the last per- son on campus to hear that she was the new president of the Un- dergraduate Association. The news had scarcely reached her be- fore she was bombarded with ques- tions concerning her "policy for next year. "I have no platform at all . . . only the steps," said Kay, not com- mitting herself to any definite stand. She continued to say that she was especially interested in getting the duties of the Under- graduate Association clearly de- fined, and in this connection men- tioned the new six-head council. Kay confesses that her highest personal ambition is "to be able to sing all day without getting a sore throat." Known all over the campus for her second alto voice, she is particularly remembered for her rendition as the policeman in Gilbert and Sullivan's Pirates of Penzance, in 1941. A psychology major, Kay spends much of her time in lab, and is "a chain smoker in times of great stress only."

Hypersensitivity pneumonitis is inflammation of the lungs due to breathing in a foreign substance, usually certain types of dust, fungus, or molds.
Extrinsic allergic alveolitis; Farmer's lung; Mushroom picker's disease; Humidifier or air-conditioner lung; Bird breeder's or bird fancier's lung
Hypersensitivity pneumonitis usually occurs in people who work in places where there are high levels of organic dusts, fungus, or molds.
Long-term exposure can lead to lung inflammation and acute lung disease . Over time, the acute condition turns into long-lasting (chronic) lung disease.
Hypersensitivity pneumonitis may also be caused by fungi or bacteria in humidifiers, heating systems, and air conditioners found in homes and offices. Exposure to certain chemicals, such as isocyanates or acid anhydrides, can also lead to hypersensitivity pneumonitis.
Examples of hypersensitivity pneumonitis include:
Bird fancier's lung: This is the most common type of hypersensitivity pneumonitis. It is caused by repeated or intense exposure to proteins found in the feathers or droppings of many species of birds.
Farmer's lung: This type of hypersensitivity pneumonitis is caused by exposure to dust from moldy hay, straw, and grain.
Symptoms of acute hypersensitivity pneumonitis often occur 4 to 6 hours after you have left the area where the offending substance is found. This makes it difficult to find a connection between your activity and the disease. Symptoms might resolve before you go back to the area where you encountered the substance.
Symptoms may include:
Symptoms of chronic hypersensitivity pneumonitis may include:
Your doctor may hear abnormal lung sounds called crackles (rales) when listening to your chest with a stethoscope.
Lung changes due to chronic hypersensitivity pneumonitis may be seen on a chest x-ray . Other tests may include:
First, the offending substance must be identified. Treatment involves avoiding this substance in the future. Some people may need to change jobs if they cannot avoid the substance at work.
If you have a chronic form of this disease, your doctor may recommend that you take glucocorticoids (anti-inflammatory medicines). Sometimes treatments used for asthma can help people with hypersensitivity pneumonitis.
Most symptoms go away when you avoid or limit your exposure to the material that caused the problem.
The chronic form of this disease may lead to pulmonary fibrosis . This is a scarring of the lung tissue that often is not reversible. Eventually, end-stage lung disease and respiratory failure can occur.
Call your health care provider if you develop symptoms of hypersensitivity pneumonitis.
The chronic form can be prevented by avoiding the material that causes the lung inflammation.
