While the application materials will undergo some changes, the following checklist does give a general overview of the necessary components. Once the application is posted, we will begin accepting applications, reviewing them, and releasing admission decisions.
Should you have any questions before that time, please contact us at firstname.lastname@example.com or at (617) 552-3800.

|1. A completed and signed copy of the application (you may submit your personal statement in a separate typed document if needed)
|2. A $25 application fee – checks payable to Boston College
|3. A copy of your high school transcript (a copy of an unofficial transcript issued to the student is acceptable); can be sent by your guidance counselor or principal
|4. A completed recommendation from your guidance counselor or principal
|5. A completed recommendation from a high school teacher (this must be a math or English teacher if you are applying for Writers in the Making, or Mathematicians in the Making)

|3. If English is your second language, please submit your TOEFL score. If you have not taken the TOEFL, please email email@example.com for further instructions on how to apply
Applications are accepted on a rolling basis. However, space in the program is limited so you are encouraged to apply as soon as possible.
Thank you for your interest in applying to the Boston College Experience for Summer 2014! Below you will find our application in two formats: Microsoft Word Forms and in a PDF. Microsoft Word Forms will allow you to edit each individual field on you computer, making the application easier for our admissions staff to review. If for some reason you are unable to edit the application in Microsoft Word, there is a downloadable PDF version that can be printed and filled out by hand.
For students interested in applying into 'Writers in the Making' or 'Mathematicians in the Making,' please be aware that the courses you list on your application will change should you be admitted into those concentrations. The BC English and Mathematics department will review applications for these two academic focuses and, once complete, you will be notified of your course schedule. We do ask that you still list two courses on your application in the event that you are admitted to BCE but for some reason are unable to participate in the academic concentration you have listed.
"Writers in the Making" or "Mathamaticians in the Making," require students to submit a second recommendation from a teacher in either the English or Math department at your school. Additionally, "Writers in the Making" does require a writing sample of up to 6 pages of fiction, 4 – 6 poems of up to 6 pages, or a creative nonfiction essay of up to 6 pages.
If you are an international student, be sure to fill out an I-20 Application and submit it along with your application materials. Without an I-20 Application, your BCE application will be considered incomplete.
All students are required to submit one recommendation from a guidance counselor or principal. Those applying for Writers in the Making or Mathematicians in the Making will be required to submit an additional recommendation from a teacher in the English or Math departments at their school.
Below you will find the BCE Recommendation form in the Microsoft Word Forms format and in the PDF format.

replace fear of the unknown with curiosity

what a great saying
[...] replace fear of the unknown with curiosity [...]
You hear something in the living room. You live alone. Should you be curious or scared right now?
I'd be grabbing my shotgun.
I don't know many folk who have shotgusns, but the idea that one might be useful to deal with an unidentified sound in the next room is SCARY. Have you ever tried to shoot a mouse with a shotgun ? (let alone do so indoors, where the damage would be horific)
I think you would need to be a little curious about what sort of sound before doing anything. Maybe stand and listen for a moment, then think before acting. And THAT surely is what the original slogan is really saying.
No, you should shoot it.

Religion Needed to be a Good Nurse? - page 2
We just covered a spiritituality/religion lesson in our BSN course and the instructor (religious) came out and said good nurses had spirituality and would be there for whatever spiritual needs the PT had. I understand the... Read More
- 0Oct 27, '05 by Jessy_RNI don't think that your religion or lack of has nothing to do with nursing. If you are not spiritual or religious you should be respected equally.
The key is to have respect back to EVERY single patient's religion as well.
You don't have to belive what they do, but as long as you respect it you should be more than ok.
Good luck
- 1Oct 27, '05 by VivaLasViejas, ASN, RN GuideQuote from Q.Yes, they are VERY different, and confusing the two is a very common mistake that can create much misunderstanding.I agree.
Religion and spirituality are two different things and I think you are confusing the 2. Or your instructor is. Or both of you are.
The way I see it, being 'religious' means you worship a Supreme Being according to prescribed rituals and rules. That's fine for many, many people, who may feel they need external controls in order to stay "in line", and/or who enjoy belonging to a larger group that shares their particular belief system. I'm not knocking it; I was involved in organized religion for a good portion of my life, and sometimes I still miss the tradition and pageantry of my Catholic faith (although I have too many political and philosophical arguments with its leaders to remain in full Communion with the Church).
Being a spiritual person, however, means acknowledging the value of all belief systems and the possibility that God---whatever you conceive Him (Her?) to be---is too big to be confined within any one faith tradition. To me, it's a more 'adult' form of worship.......you are not following a set of rules made by human beings, but you take your direction from God Himself. You seek your Higher Power wherever you may be, whether it's out in nature, on the job, at home with your family, or traveling around the world. You listen for the inner voice telling you you're on the right (or wrong!) track, and you are open to the fact that all forms of worship have something of value to offer.........the only 'requirements' being a belief in something greater than yourself, and adherence to the Golden Rule: you treat others as you yourself wish to be treated.
Personally, I believe I'm quite versatile as a 'spiritual' nurse, because I find it easier to accept different faiths and to follow the patient's wishes along those lines. I'm comfortable praying with and for patients, yet I can also step gracefully out of the room while their spiritual leader performs a ritual in which outsiders cannot partake, and I can even let them express anger at God for 'allowing' them to be sick and miserable and dying.
Just my $.02 worth.:wink2:
- 0Oct 27, '05 by LedaSome define spirituality strictly as being connected to religion; whereas others consider spirituality as personal views and beliefs or the way a person feels a connection beyond themselves. The later definition may well be what your instructor was referring to. Nurses must connect with others on a human level and incorporating the patient's spiritual views and needs into their care will help to accomplish this.
To explore a patient's spirituality the nurse needs to consider: What is the patient's view of the world? What gives them inner strength or peace during times of trouble? How can the nurse incorporate these into the patient's health care?
Clearly not all nurses believe this is part of quality patient care. However I think most nurses would agree that some human to human connection to the patient should be made.
- 0Oct 27, '05 by KabinThanks everyone's input, it's nice to hear the views of the working class.
I just checked the Nursing Code of Ethics and paragraph 1.2 says "An individual's lifestyle, value system and religious beliefs should be considered in planning health care with and for the patient. Such consideration does not suggest that the nurse necessarily agrees with or condones certain individual choices, but that the nurse respects the patient as a person."
That makes sense to me!
- 0Oct 27, '05 by tvccrnI agree with everyone who has said that religion and spirituality are two different things. I am not a religious person, but I honor my patient's religion when it comes up. I am not christian, but I have taken part in prayers when a patient asks if I would pray with them. Just because I don't recognize "GOD" as most people see him, doesn't mean that I don't recognize a higher power and that is what I pray to when asked.
Jesus, God, Yawah, Jevohah, Isis, Astarte, whatever you call your diety doesn't figure into the care you give your patients. It's your attitude, your compassion, and your treatment of them that makes you a good nurse.
- 2Oct 27, '05 by judyblueeyesAbsolutley not necessary. I am a non theist as are a couple of my coworkers. We are excellent nurses. It seems like it's still PC to bash non-theists, but nursing requires compassion and empathy among many, many other things. Those a not exclusive to religious people.
- 1Oct 27, '05 by SmilingBluEyesI am NOT religious, but consider myself spiritual. IF religion is needed to be a good nurse, well then I am sunk. The answer is NO, in other words.
- 0Oct 27, '05 by DaytoniteNo, nursing doesn't view good nurses to be spiritual or religious. I think your instructor was just expressing her own views on this. What you need to take away from this class is that we all need to be respectful of a person's expression of their religion or spirituality. Sometimes these beliefs extend into the kind of medical treatment they are willing to take. I make a distinction because to me, religion is more of a communal type of thing, whereas spirituality is more of a general metaphysical belief regarding our existance outside a physical one. Examples I could give you would be Jehovah Witnesses who refuse blood transfusions, Christian Scientists who refuse medications and surgeries, kosher Jews who follow dietary law, etc.
- 2Oct 27, '05 by fergus51As long as you respect your patients' views on the matter I don't think your own spirituality or religion matter at all. Some patients might not consider themselves spiritual either. The worst thing we ever had a nurse do in our family was try to christianize us when a family member was in the hospital. It was not welcome.

Important Notice : Avoiding Fraud
It's rare, but some helpful hints to watch out for with regards to fraud:
- It is important to NEVER wire funds or use/employ other fund transfer mechanisms such as western union: Always use a credit card to protect yourself against fraud. If owners pressure you into providing a deposit or refuse to accept credit cards, there is a high probability that this is a scam.
- If at all suspicious of fraud, ask to see their website, or any other literature they can provide or send to you. Ask them for contact details for guests who have previously stayed on their property insisting on telephone numbers. Be suspicious of emails that originate from free email services (yahoo, hotmail, gmail, etc)
- Research the property thoroughly on the internet to see if there is any history or mention of scams associated with the property.

Just over a 1000
How many pupils Alan?
Just over a 1000
Similar here for everything (SIMS, support contracts software licenses etc etc) = £132k ISP (LEA) is free to 10mbit and £5k per 10mbit after that.
last year spent £14k on printer consumables!!
1300 on roll, some new kit this year and a technology refresh next year on 5 year old PC's
*falls off chair*
Well thats something to tell SMT about!!!
Hmmm and mine has been SLASHED! to 15,500! AFTER they told me it was 60k! so now grossly over budget and its only mid june
zag (17th April 2012)
** Amusing 4-year update **
I never got a steady desk job again, instead I went freelance as an "Education ICT Consultant". Yes, yes. An extremely poncey title, but you have to big yourself up, right?...
I enjoy 2 day weeks for more-or-less the same pay as my previous job, and enjoy working in a variety of different places, businesses, schools, shops, etc.
Anyone wanna join me?
do you need to fill the other days with occasional work, in which case we should connect as I occasionally need short term cover
I'll send you a PM...
We bought 2 SAN's (Netapp 2040) and 3 new hosts (HP DL360 G7) last year.
This year it's upgrading the wireless to N, a new suite of PC's, an additional NetApp disk shelf and some other bits and pieces.
Not being rude but what do you actually do?! What does a typical day consist of? Interested how businesses and shops use you & do you pimp yourself out to schools or do they contact you?
85k... 150 pupils!

Skin Free™
Skin Care Products
Recommended for:
*Extreme Dry Skin
*Skin or Fragrance Allergies
*Pregnant Moms
*The Elderly
*Renal Patients
*After Radiation or Chemotherapy
Skin Free has a line of skin care products for those with delicate skin. They offer an alphabetical product listing with a detailed description of each product by clicking on the 'more info' icons.
The Niaouli Butter Stick is to be applied on dry, cracked areas for an extra boost of moisture. I've used it on my elbows and feet, which are as dry as a desert. I've seen improvement in my skin after applying the stick. It comes in a push-up applicator. A couple of times I've had trouble pushing the bottom of the applicator to get the butter stick to come up.
The Extra Moisturizing Soap & Shampoo Bar helps smooth and moisturize skin. I sniffed this bar and it has no smell to it. NONE! I couldn't find the slightest hint of fragrance. It is also free of colorants; the bar itself is almost a clear color. As far as claims go of this bar being free of fragrances and colorants, it has definitely passed my test.
Not yet available for sale is the Skin Free Foot Finale. I was given the honored privilege of being one of the first recipients of this set. It includes 1 lb of Skin Free Sparkling Foot Bath Minerals and 4 oz of Skin Free Soothing Magic Foot Balm. Both contain organic Peppermint and Sweet Birch essential oils. I'm not sure when these will be available for sale on the site, but they are a great addition to the current products.
As I've mentioned before, my feet are extremely dry. They are also very sensitive and I could go insane scratching them all day long from being itchy. There's been times I've been short of taking a Brillo pad to them to relieve the itching. Now that's desperation!
When I received the box and opened it, my nostrils were filled with the smell of peppermint. The smell is somewhat strong, but I really like it. I've filled up a small tub of water and added the Skin Free Sparkling Foot Bath Minerals. It doesn't take much for one use. I've let my feet soak while watching a short program on TV (killing two birds with one stone!) then applied the Skin Free Soothing Magic Foot Balm. My feet feel so much softer afterward and the agony of itchiness is temporarily relieved.
I've also used the Soothing Magic Foot Balm by itself after taking a shower. It is pink in color and the look reminds me of whipped frosting. It gives a cooling sensation to the feet, just as peppermint does.

I really dont like to solo rock, scares me... so I keep it way below lead level...You really cant compare soloing rock vrs. ice...
I will not say finest as those are personal but I will say the most memorable.Early 90s out in JTree a bunch of us soloed the Bong under a full moon what a beautiful place and the bong was fitting for the occasion. Ice I woke up one morning and it was going to be a great day so I called in sick and soloed Pinnacle gully under beautiful skies and I did not see another person until I down soloed the head wall in Tucks and got to the shelter.It was the best day I ever had on the summit of Mt Washington.

The native of the Bronx, New York first drew attention to himself when he led the NYMHL with 52 assists in 30 games for the Brooklyn Metros in 1971-72. He then joined the OHA's Sudbury Wolves where he notched 73 goals in three seasons before he was chosen 119th overall by the New York Islanders in 1975.
Hansen adjusted well to the pros by scoring 40 goals for the Erie Blades of the NAHL in 1975-76. Over the next three years he played with the Isles' top farm club, the Fort Worth Texans of the CHL. Hansen dressed for 18 games in New York but was chiefly a farmhand on one of the NHL's deepest teams. In 1978, Hansen scored 78 points in 72 games for Fort Worth and was named to the CHL second all-star team.
In 1981-82, Hansen made a two-game re-appearance in the NHL with the St. Louis Blues but continued to play most of his hockey in the CHL. That same year he led the CHL in assists as a member of the Salt Lake Golden Eagles. Hansen retired in 1984 after recording 56 points in 63 games for Salt Lake.

Self-Diagnosis Crisis and Language Stuff!!
Find a Conversation
|Wed, 08-29-2012 - 8:21pm
My behaviors now and in the past fit the symptoms of Asperger's, but I actually feel like a fool trying to label myself Asperger's before a professional does.
I feel like this is kind of indicative of Asperger's in itself.
The thing is, I feel like I've taught myself to overcome a lot of the difficulties people with Asperger's face (Aspies sounds derogatory to me). I especially remember being in middle school and not understanding why everyone was telling me I was mean, or why I could only make friends with the teachers, or why I kept wearing the same hoodie every day...
I think they way I thought was so concrete that I couldn't even fully comprehend they symptoms when they were described to me. Mostly because when I read "Do you do _________?" I automatically assume that the question is asking me if I do it on purpose... So I never think to examine the things I have done unconsciously.
Probably the most interesting thing I've noticed is the way I've learned to communicate. I feel like every word or phrase I use is associated with some specific instance - either the way I learned it, or a certain pronunciation, or the way a person said it in a movie...
I guess without an official diagnosis, I just want to touch base with some people who know. Does any of this sound familiar to you guys? I'm going crazy. I would love any thoughts that anyone has, please!!!!
|Thu, 08-30-2012 - 4:02pm
Welcome crr290 Some of what you are describing does sound like Aspergers, do you think that you'll get an official diagnosis? It doesn't sound like it's held you back as an adult, but knowing for sure can help you explain some of your behaviors. Even though the diagnosis can be scary, at least you know what you are dealing with (at least that's the way I've approached it as a parent when it came to my son's issues with ADHD).
I look forward to getting to know you better.

MVC Capital Names Scott J. Schuenke New Chief Financial Officer

I usually have the blood drawn 2 or 3 days before my 90 day doctor appointment. That way the results are available by the time I go in for the appointment. They are then posted online where I can view them at leisure.
At my clinic I get a note to check my on-line information, so it's usually only a couple of days. I also get a note from the my Diabetes Support Team but snail-mail takes a little longer.
Were I you and I thought things were moving too slowly I'd have a chat with your medical folks.
I view managing my diabetes as my job, and I am The Boss. In that role my success depends on using all of the resources available to me, which includes my medical support team. I expect them to call me on my failings (although I have very few of those), and I in turn will point out theirs.
Hope that helps - Guy
About how long should it take for me to get my Hemoglobin A1c results?
Ahh. I always do that anyway.
I seem to remember that the instruction sheet included with my needles, or insulin, or something says always to squirt a little out of the needle into the air while watching, before you actually inject, to make sure that the system isn't leaking somewhere. I do that because I'm the type who almost always follows instructions, unless I feel that I have a good reason not to.
They also suggest doing that because the needle might be clogged, but this looks to me like less of a problem: It once happened to me, and the back pressure is so enormous that it's impossible to push the plunger, so there's no danger that you won't notice.
What does "priming the needle" mean?
Priming the needle is simply pushing out any air in the needle with insulin. If you fail to prime the needle, syringe or pen, you may not get a proper accurate dose.

What does "priming the needle" mean?
re: Bruising... I thought I was bruising due to being on warfarin.. which I think I was, they were darker bruises and they only happened when my inr went up it seemed. But now that I'm off it for 2 weeks currently I am still bruising. My inr nurse said to put pressure on the site you inject in that will stop bruising.. I think I will start doing that.
I use the bd very fine needles and I think this may help too. But sometimes I have pain and sometimes I don't, if I prime the needle I seem to have more due to insulin burning me. I have had larger bruises with large needles on syringes from insulin and lovenox.
hello Jing Jing,
yes I have heard of it and I may try it eventually, but I would have to switch insulins to do it they say since the novolog pen refills don't fit pendiq... I think maybe I could inject it into another cartridge maybe though. If you live in the us though, you have to have it shipped to somone in the UK or Europe and have them ship it to you... they won't ship it here yet. It would certainly make treating yourself more similar to a pump since you can do very small adjustments when needed. I am currently using the novopen junior which has .5 doses, have you tried that?
Anyone here ever hear of the Pendiq insulin pen - I think it's German? This pen can dose in 0.1U increments although the minimum dose is 0.5U. I could really use this pen but it is not available here in the USA - how typical!!!!
I could also use the Novopen Echo but it also is not available here.

That sucks! I would talk to your doctor's office and see if the doctor would be comfortable writing a letter to them saying it's medically necessary due to previous miscarriage? When i started investigating whether or not my insurance would cover the NT scan, I was told part of it may be and the other part may not be. However, the insurance company said that I could always have my doctor's office write a letter and they would take it into consideration. So, maybe that could be a solution for you!
Good luck!
This. Most places I've heard of allow two u/s (typically one early on for viability/dating and the a/s). Getting more depends on coding. There are a whole slew of things that can prompt additional u/s that, if coded correctly, will be deemed medically necessary and covered by insurance.RachaelA:That's normal. All your doctor needs to do is have it coded as necessary.

My Recipe Blog
~All AL'ers welcome~
My insurance has the same rule, but my Dr has been very good about coding each u/s to show it's medical necessity and I haven't had them take issue with any of them yet.
I hope it works out the same for you! I agree that it is stupid to limit them like that though.

Item #:STATTRACKERII-N
Shipping Rates and Information
When will my golf products order ship?
Orders whose payments are received by 4PM ET (Eastern Time) ship the same day! There are a few exceptions to this when a golf products order is shipped directly from the manufacturer, and this is noted in the item description.
What are GolfEtail's shipping rates?
GolfEtail offers FREE ground shipping on all Continental US orders over $99. For all other golf product orders, GolfEtail.com provides a range of low cost shipping options based on your invoice total and the service you need. Below are our shipping rates:
When will I receive my golf products from GolfEtail?
Arrival times for golf product orders depend on 2 things:
Our warehouse is located on the west coast, so if your golf products order is destined for the East Coast via Ground Premium, then your order will arrive about a week later. Similarly if you live in the MidWest, then give it 3 or 4 business days.
Also understand shipments deliver Monday through Friday, so if you order Next Day Air on Friday morning your order will be delivered on Monday (regardless of where you live).
Similarly if you order 2 Day Air on Friday morning, then your golf products order will deliver Tuesday. Major holidays do play a role in transit times and may delay your order by another day, so take this into consideration.
Will I receive a tracking number after my golf products order ships?
Absolutely! You will receive a tracking number within a few hours of your order shipping and your golf products order can be tracked from our website. Please email us at email@example.com if you have any difficulties tracking your order.

Jeanette M. Miller, 83, Elkhart Lake, the widow of a Stevens Point native, died Sunday, April 27, 2014, at her home.
A Memorial Mass was held Saturday, May 3, at St. Thomas Aquinas Catholic Church in Elkhart Lake, with the Rev. Dan Volkert officiating. Cremation has taken place.
Visitation was in the Resurrection Chapel of the church Saturday, May 3.
A memorial fund has been established in her name for the Kohler High School Alumni Fund or St. Nicholas' Hospital Home Health Hospice program.
The Suchon Funeral Home and Cremation Services of Plymouth assisted with arrangements. Condolences may be offered online at www.suchonfh.com.
Mrs. Miller was born March 21, 1931, in Shawano, a daughter of the late George "Jake" and Urith (Schweers) Frank. She graduated from St. Mary's School of Nursing in Wausau in 1952 and earned a Bachelor of Science degree in nursing from St. Francis in Joliet, Ill., in 1979.

They lived and worked in Aurora, Colo., while her husband was in the armed forces.
In 1958, they moved to Kohler, where she was active in the Kohler Women's Club and St. John's Altar Society. She was a Cub and Webelo Scout leader.
She worked as a registered nurse at St. Nicholas' Hospital on the medical-surgical unit, recovery and operating room before retiring as the supervisor of surgery and the Emergency Department in 1987.
Since her retirement, she was active in the 220 Ladies Golf Club, Plymouth Women's Civic Society and as a volunteer for St. Nicholas Hospice.
Survivors include two sons, William "Bill" (Cheryl), Corona, Calif., and David (Kathy), Cascade; one daughter-in-law, Vicki Miller, McHenry, Ill.; one sister-in-law, Virginia Magalska, New London; two brothers-in-law, John "Buddy" Miller and Norbert "Nubbs" (Delores) Miller, both of Steven Point; nine grandchildren; and eight great-grandchildren.

Workplace Development
Refresh your skills or learn a new one. With seasoned trainers at the helm, you can travel through this quarter's line-up of classes. Along the way, you will find a mixture of topics including management of time, supervisory essentials and quality service. Scan the list below and see what is planned as we travel through summer 2014.
7/18/2014 8:30 am until 12:00 pm
Do you need to gain control of your time? Is a lack of organization stopping you from being productive? Then, this class is a case of STOP, LOOK and LISTEN! Here are some points we will teach you how to:
New Employee Orientation
Are you familiar with the laws and rules governing the Mobile County Merit System? If you are new to the system or need a little refresher, you might consider attending either of two New Employee Orientation sessions scheduled for this quarter. New employees need not worry about signing up; MCPB will coordinate with your department about your enrollment.
The orientation dates are:
July 16, 2014 – 8:30 am until 10:45 am
September 10, 2014 – 8:30 am until 10:45 am
Delegating/Decision Making (MCPB/Training presentation)
7/25/2014 8:30 am until 11:30 am
Whether you are a supervisor or not, we all need in our skill set, the knowledge of how to make wise decisions. Part of that process sometimes includes the need to delegate. You will learn that delegation is a key factor in effective time management and an effective motivational tool for supervisors.
July is time to learn to:
Manage Your Time
Organize Your Tasks
Improve Your Decision Making Skills
Become Knowledgeable About the Merit System
Team Building – Blending Personalities
8/13/2014 8:30 am until 11:30 am
A class designed to improve the working relationships among employees and sometimes their supervisors. You will see how different personalities play out in the workplace and how understanding these differences can improve teamwork and productivity.
Promoting Trust in the Work Place through Prevention of Harassment
8/20/2014 8:30 am until 12:30 pm
Workplace harassment is a serious concern. This program will focus on your awareness, accountability and action as it relates to issues of harassment. Both managers and employees expect to work in a harassment free environment that promotes a positive atmosphere for everyone. Discussion will include what is considered to be harassing behavior and the steps needed to deal with such situations.
Workplace Violence: Recognizing and Avoiding the Risks
8/27/2014 8:30 am until 11:30 am
Improve your knowledge regarding the potential of violence in the workplace. Whether it takes the form of threats or something more serious, it is a concern for all employers and employees. The program focuses on sources of workplace violence, key risk factors and indicators, and best practices for handling situations that may arise. While this session will present useful facts on the topic, your first and best source of information will always be your jurisdiction's policies and procedures.
First Aid/CPR
9/19/2014 8:30 am until 3:30 pm
This quarter's safety topic offers training that might save a life. Procedures for administering first aid and lifesaving CPR (cardiopulmonary resuscitation) will be covered.
The Meaning of Quality Service in the Public Sector
9/24/2014 8:30 am until 12:30 pm
Yes, we do have customers. When we provide services to the public, we must be skilled in our ability to communicate, manage difficult situations and take ownership for the service that we provide. This class is not your basic customer service program. A skilled instructor will guide you through the process that links skills to quality service.

for joggers, slow runners, run/walkers and newbies
Gym gymned (with minimal main )
Shop shopped
Tip tipped
Now for another luxuriating bath - I want a lusty instead of a list - it sounds soooooooooooo much more fun
Welcome Rootie Toots - tell us about yourself?
Quite quiet in here currently as many away for NY but it'll perk up again I'm sure in a few days time
Mr Spence has a listy, he also has a lusty but I try to ignore that!!
Welcome Toots
I have logs of the free, wet variety
It's pissing outta the heavens here no change then
((((Mr Snaily)))) hope he feels better soon, can't be good to be missing a tube!!
I'm going to treat myself to a little sit on the sofa and a read of my book
Hi can i point any beginners to a recent blog on 5km for beginners and also some others on cycling for beginners, feel free to comment.
Happy New Year to you all!
Hello and welcome, Rootie toots (great name, BTW!). Do pul up chair and tell us aaaaall about yoursel.
cr, if you are planning to hang around and contribute to the thread then you are also welcome. If you just want to publicise your website then .
(((Mr Snail)))
(((Yumms and parents))) I'm sure your parents would rather spend the time with you than sit at home and be miserable.
Poor C1, I am glad she got back safely, without the nightmare journey that she had getting home! NYE chez Chuggy sounds great fun .
It is persisting down here too. I drove MS to collect the taxi this morning and shopped on the way home. Best friends will come round aprx 9pm and we will see the new year in together. The late start will give everyone time for a disco nap first!
WAIST well xxx
A comparatively quiet moment so looking in to see what's going on.
Welcome, Toots! And welcome back to running. It does feel different than walking, even power walking, so good on you. What was wrong with your foot? And is it OK now?? Like everyone else said, we're a friendly bunch, so pull up a chair and talk to us!
(((((((((((Snaily and Mr Snail))))))))))))
That sounds awful: really unpleasant and exhausting. Hope the double dose works so you can both get some rest! Good on you for the resolution, too----let us know if you set up a blog a la Daffs!
What a shame for all involved. It's especially too bad for your neice and your parents. Hard on you too: really painful to see someone being unkind to the olds and not able to do anything about it. (Been there, done that....) But your love and attention will make all the difference to them, so have a lovely day together! BTW, how's Cush now?
Daffs, you're totally right about crises: I think most people actually LIKE them, since they are so quick to interpret any disruption at all as a crisis. Mr C is especially good at pricking such balloons, so you have support here!
Podds, glad you had "minimal main" at the gym---does this mean the pesky back is finally settling down? And are all your boys back to fighting fit now?
Preparations for tonight going well: bread, tick; cheese, tick; wine and soft drinks, tick; assorted sweets and biscuits, tick. That should keep them busy for a few hours, don't you think? (I couldn't do a 'proper' meal for 20 to save my life!!!)
Not much running going on here til after tomorrow. Managed a 5 mile brisk walk yesterday, so better than nothing...but not as good as chugging! There's a new year's resolution in there somewhere!
Oh, and C1 says happy new year from Darwin, where it's 2013 now
Hiyam Slugs, just saw you there. Great to have you around again
Your NYE sounds most agreeable: never heard of a 'disco nap' but it sounds like my kinda thing
Hi Slugsta, Have been on here before just getting caught up after injury and working away from home.
I am hoping to contribute more as I need some guidance on running a marathon 2013, mostly a runner but cycling at minute to build up again after knee injury. However if you are looking for bargains for runners then feel free
happy NYE my lovelies!
welcome to new chaps
just doing a bit of work cos its going to be really hectic when I'm back in work this week. like the idea of Janathon but the first few days of the year could scupper it for me - we'll see. Dont think I'll be making specific reslutions either cos I have a feeling could be a tough year for oldies, but I may enter some races early on for motivation - Stratford marafun anyone?
Afternoon all
Just poppong in to wish the WAISTer posse a very happy and hangover free New Year.
(((((((((((((((~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~))))))))))) to get you started. May your families appreciate you, may your illnesses and aches be things of the past, may your irrtations be minor and may your accomplishments and friendships be life affirming and fulfilling.
Hello and welcome Toots and bikerun - let the recruitment begin - oh I see Farty Pants has already opened with the Stratford salvo.
Apparently we bought ourselves an i pad for Christmas. That'll be why I'm on the laptop with the screen that's on the fritz. I'm assuming the cat sitting on it regularly doesn't help.
Sound of music tastic - I'm just eying up our old curtains and dreaming of Julie Andrews teaching me a thing or two
Onwards and upwards
Have a wonderful NYE Chuggy, sounds like you have a house full.
Slugsta its rained here all day too, really naffing me off now, it was also supported by gale force winds to add to the joy.
ooooo get DL with a new IPad. It'llbe great for your train journeys!
We bought ourselves a window vacuum for xmas, I know how exciting are we!!! Well actually we bought ourself a new fireplace too, with are both very practical
Daffs, I've blogged, not sure if I've done it right but its here http://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=4022436404450027071#allposts
itll probably be quite boring but will keep me on track.....I hope.
So I'm in for Janathon, wont be running everyday (because it'll kill me) but I will be exercising 30mins a day. I've even unwrapped the exercise DVD I bought last year. So here goes!!!!!!
Anyway hope WAISTers have a fun filled evening, with friends, family, pets, tv, and lets hope 2013 is a little less wet!
Saying it now in case I don't get in here later on.
I like the idea of a 'lusty'. No idea what it is, but I am sure Mr. L. has one
I think I need to read back a few pages.
Just my stupid autocorrect Larry - I was trying to write 'list'!
Snaily - think you've got your blog set to 'private' so only you can read it! There will be a settings button somewhere where you can change privacy to public or something (if you want to of course) - would love to read what you're up to
Happy new year indeed I've been washing cupboard doors, sorting out papers, putting away Christmas presents, and generally buttling about. Just shoed Mr Daffs out the door to his gig, and now got a few buns in the oven and a nice big bowl of pasta and a bottle of advocaat, and in for a nice night on the sofa with meself Party animal, me, and don't let anyone tell you otherwise
Wishing all the lovely WAISTers a happy, healthy New Year
We are off out to friends for a meal, another family joining, kids all the same ages These two ladies have kept me sane for the last 14 years I shall be driving
Have a good one all whatever you are doing
15 mins to Mastermind.
Signed photos will be available to all WAISTers.
Only £10 each.
Happy New Year to all WAISter pals may all your hopes and dreams come true. Out to Daughters tonight with Tony and Scott so another family get together.
ps floor 90% completed
pps just back from a 4.1 mile run with Scott as he was playing sheep dog he logged over 8 miles
NYE all WAISTers as I may not stay awake until midnight
Am just about to pop down and see XB's 15 mins of fame too
Snaily - tried to follow your link but even though I'm at home it's blocked because it's google and the only google account I have is work and work blocks blogs!!!!!!!! Talk about taking the micky!
I have decorated 3 bras and realised I don't have one so will have to upgrade the one which luckily I kept after the last bra run - the boys have had all my spare baubles.........
Right - off to see XB - bck later
Happy new year and new year running everyone!

The members of the band seem to enjoy coming up with different definitions for the term, from a shoe lover to a person with a smelly butt, so there may be no official definition, at least as far as they're concerned.
There is no definition.

An extremely mediocre band.
i've listened to all of my good music, and I don't want to listen to bad music, so I'll listen to hoobastank.

When you are having sex "doggy style" and all of a sudden you smell something (if one the people had not wipped themselves very well..) that smell is hoobastank
it is not a good smell...

commonly used in lonely island's work, such as The 'Bu, starring Jorma Taccone (sexy), the incredible Andy Samberg and the lesser known (but still cute)Akiva Schaffer, according to him he is the director and doesn't get recognized at the screenings...so don't know exactly how this word pertains to the work...but you should know they use it alot.

Something about a shoe fetish.
The drummer himself said, "It's a term that people in Southern California use to describe a shoe fetish"
So there you go. Besides that, it's a band. If you hadn't caught that already.

Oh, for the innocent days of 1993, when reports of "black helicopter" sightings were generally dismissed as symptoms of mass derangement. Residents of Miami's Brickell neighborhood "saw and heard several military-style, `pitch-black' helicopters flying around and hovering on top of [various] buildings" for several hours beginning on — all the inauspicious days — the evening of April 19, reports the Miami Herald. At least three of the vehicles, described as Black Hawk-style choppers, landed in a parking lot and "then charged over the Brickell and Miami river area. Men who appeared to be SWAT team members were also seen" taking part in the operation.
"Turns out that it was a training exercise by the Southeast Regional Domestic Security Task Force," continued the report. "In other words, a Homeland Security operation, that few other authorities apparently knew about, including the U.S. Coast Guard."
A spokesman for the Miami-Dade Police Department told the Herald that the military helicopters were involved in "an `operational' training drill" but insisted that he "was not allowed to comment on details of the drill." The story dutifully quotes a properly subservient local Mundane named Neilson Paty, who "said he is understanding of the city having its reasons to not inform residents about the drill and that he is not upset for not getting any alerts of the commotion."
With black helicopters plying the skies above American cities, "stealth choppers" reportedly being used by presidential assassination teams, and ninja-suited death squads swarming the countryside, it appears that reality has caught up with Jerry Fletcher's world.9:46 am on May 14, 2011 Email William Norman Grigg

Home > Health & Wellness > Health Library > Multidrug-Resistant Tuberculosis (TB)
Multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB) occurs when the
bacteria are resistant to at least isoniazid and rifampin. This means that
these medicines are unable to kill the bacteria. The reasons
antibiotic resistance occurs include:
People who have resistant disease are at increased risk
for dying of TB, especially if they also are infected with the
human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). People who are at
highest risk for developing multidrug-resistant TB are those who:
To reduce the problem of drug resistance, doctors now use the
following guidelines to treat all people who have resistant TB:1
A rare type of MDR-TB is called extensively drug-resistant
tuberculosis (XDR-TB). This type of TB is resistant to isoniazid, rifampin, and
several other medicines used to treat TB. And some TB bacteria have become resistant to all of the antibiotics commonly used to treat TB. This is sometimes called totally resistant tuberculosis (TDR-TB).2

text: It doesn't seem possible that 2013 will be ending in just a few days. Where has the time gone? I mean, seriously, doesn't it feel like you were just trying to figure out what to wear on the first day of school? I'm sure many of you are grateful that the semester is finally over, especially if your grades were not spectacular. If you're a high school senior, you're still wondering when you can catch your breath and take a break. I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but you still have a few more weeks of torture to endure while you wait to learn your fate for next year. Even if you took the initiative and applied to early decision, you're probably wondering how you're going to pay for everything. The stress never seems to end, does it? Before you start pulling out your hair, take a deep breath and relax. I've got your back. The New Year is a perfect time to work on scholarship applications. Just schedule a little time between your Call of Duty marathons and catching up on all those television shows you missed this fall. Here are a few to get you started.

Mali is a vast landlocked country located in the heart of the Sahel, a region threatened by drought and desertification. The vast majority of the people are directly dependent on the environment for their livelihoods through herding, farming, or fishing. Mali is the largest of the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) countries by land area, with a population of approximately 14 million.
Mali's long-term gross domestic product (GDP) has been about 5 percent on an annual average basis, and has become less volatile despite Mali's vulnerabilities. In fact, rainfalls have been favorable in the last few years and the prices of gold and cotton—the two main export products—have stood at multi-year highs. Real GDP grew at an estimated 5.8 percent in 2010 while inflation was below 3 percent. In 2011, growth estimates are expected to be lower due to the effects of the drought, while food prices are projected to be higher.
According to government estimates and a recent household survey (ELIM 2010), the poverty headcount declined from 55.6 percent in 2001 to 47.5 percent in 2006 and 43.6 percent in 2010. Poverty remains a largely rural phenomenon, with the rural population representing 78 percent of total population. The incidence of rural poverty dropped from 65 percent in 2001 to 51 percent in 2010. Farmers, which constitute 62 percent of the population, are the poorest with a 57 percent poverty rate. Households headed by women tend to be less poor than those headed by men. Extreme poverty has dropped at the national level from 32 percent in 2001 to 22 percent in 2011, with clear regional variations.
IDA is finalizing a development policy operation (DPO) under the Global Partnership for Education (GPE) to support the implementation of reforms initiated in the education sector, under the third phase of the ten-year education sector program (PRODEC). In addition to the DPO, IDA is finalizing the preparation of an investment operation to support higher education reforms on governance and quality.
IDA is also working with Mali in fostering agricultural productivity by scaling up sustainable water and natural resources management practices. The Fostering Agricultural Productivity Project, approved in June 2010, contributes to ensuring food security and increasing the income of rural producers. The Bank is preparing a new climate change operation to improve the resilience of communities living in vulnerable areas of targeted communes to climate change and variability. Several IDA-financed analytical and advisory activities aim to help Mali overcome challenges and be in better position to adapt to and/or mitigate climate change related effects.
In urban and peri-urban areas, the Energy Support Project (US$120 million) supports increased access to electricity through the interconnected network, as well as improved reliability and efficiency of supply, and by strengthening and extending the transmission and distribution networks, in and around Bamako, as well as in regional cities. IDA also supports the Félou Regional Hydropower Project, which is expected to bring additional clean generation to Mali in 2013 at a much lower cost than thermal generation. This project also promotes regional integration and energy diversification.
IDA has recently approved a US$30 million dollar grant to support the health sector in Mali. This project will improve the supply and demand of quality reproductive health interventions.
Improved access and equity in primary education
- The Gross primary school enrollment rate was 80 percent in 2010, up from 74 percent in 2005, with significant improvement in primary school completion to 58 percent in 2010.
Improved productivity of targeted horticultural/livestock products and better access to markets, financing, and commercial infrastructure
- There have been notable increases in exports of key products in quantities and values: mango by 102 percent and 123 percent, shallot/onion by 88 percent and 85 percent, and potatoes by 90 percent for both rates, respectively.
- Approximately 238 investment subprojects and micro-enterprises have been financed to become profitable small and medium enterprises.
- The number of horticultural and livestock supply chains with improved performance was increased from zero to eight (versus the target of six).
- The volume of produce marketed by the supported supply chain increased up to 93 percent versus the target of 40 percent.
- Access to financing for farmers and other private economic operators in the selected supply chains increased to 782 million francs (CFAF) out of 880 million planned.
- Approximately 1,101 km of rural roads, out of 961 km planned, were rehabilitated.
- Some 125 medium-sized agri-business investors benefitted from credit facilitation to acquire innovative technologies in micro-irrigation, storage, or post-harvest processing.
Improved control and management of locust infestation and pesticide use
- Thanks to the Africa Emergency Locust Project and the Africa Stockpiles Program, an autonomous locust control center has been created with adequate staff and equipment, with operating costs covered by the central government, to ensure close surveillance of locust infestation areas.
- To date, 87 percent of locust infestation pesticide containers have been collected and properly disposed of.
- Approximately 1,100 additional tons of obsolete pesticides have been identified in 250 sites and a grant (US$3.1 million) from the Multi Donor Trust Fund for the Africa Stockpiles Program, approved on February 1, 2010, will help with removal and elimination.
- Five heavily contaminated sites have been treated and cleaned-up. A pesticides monitoring and control mechanism has been created to monitor imports, transport and use of pesticides, as well as the proper disposal of containers.
Increased access to basic energy services to help achieve economic growth and poverty reduction
- About 80 subprojects of private Energy delivery managed by 46 operators are financed by the Household Energy and Universal Access Project (HEURA)
- As of December 2011, about 55,900 off-grid connections in households and for public lighting have been made to provide electricity to about 838,000 persons.
- In addition, through the HEURA, about 896 public institutions, including 208 schools and 165 health centers, have also been provided off-grid electricity access.
- Women's associations manage multifunctional platform electrification initiatives, which are village diesel motors that combine electricity production with other services such as milling, husking, pumping water, charging batteries, running lights and powering tools.
- To date, multifunctional platforms have been installed in 64 communities.
- Over a period of six years, more than 8,598 households were connected to solar home systems and solar photovoltaic systems were installed countrywide.
- In order to contribute to a sustainable supply of wood fuel, predominantly used for cooking and heating, the project in partnership with the National Directorate of Nature Conservation has placed about 1,142,033 hectares under community management.
- Nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) and local private operators have disseminated about 1,180,828 improved wood and charcoal stoves and about 60,972 liquefied petroleum gas stoves. The growing use of improved stoves is expected to help reduce indoor air pollution, which is one of the main environmental health risk factors for women and children.
Improved management of natural resources along the Niger River
- Studies have been completed to guide innovative efforts for the restoration of Niger River banks, ecosystems, and pasturelands, and to prevent further degradation of ecosystems while promoting sustainable gardening and recessional agriculture for female associations.
Bank Contribution
Since Mali joined IDA in 1963, total IDA commitments have amounted US$2.9 billion for 119 projects. As of February 16, 2012, the IDA portfolio in Mali amounted to US$892.25 million composed of 21 operations, including seven regional operations. A breakdown of the portfolio by sector is as follows (see Figure 1): Energy 25 percent; Transport 18 percent; Rural Development 25 percent; Public Sector Development 17 percent; Human Development 4 percent; Environment 7 percent; and Private Sector Development 4 percent.
Portfolio in Mali by Sector
(Source World Bank)
Since Mali is a pilot for joint budget support, close coordination has been maintained in the context of the Joint Management Action Plan on World Bank-International Monetary Fund (IMF) collaboration. Donors are working together in 10 thematic groups: (1) agriculture and rural economy; (2) infrastructure development; (3) decentralization and institutional development; (4) macroeconomic management; (5) justice; (6) democratic process and civil society; (7) private sector development and microfinance; (8) education; (9) health; and (10) drinking water and sanitation.
A joint Country Assistance Strategy (JCAS, 2008-2011) was adopted by the government and 14 technical and financial partners (TFP), including the World Bank, in December 2009. The JCAS is also aligned with the Growth and Poverty Reduction Strategy Framework (GPRSF) in Mali, and contains an action plan for implementing the principles of the Paris Declaration. In order to enhance aid effectiveness and to strengthen the TFP's coordination role, the World Bank provides continuous technical assistance to the Joint Government-TFP Secretariat and thus monitors the results of the JCAS.
Toward the Future
The economy has shown surprising resilience to international economic shocks in the past few years, growing at around 5 percent with moderate inflation. This resilience was grounded in high and rising gold/commodity prices and good agricultural production due to adequate rains in 2010, enhanced by government subsidies for agricultural inputs. However, the country faces downside risks as the favorable conditions it experienced appear to be changing. Gold production is expected to plateau and then start falling in the next few years. Agricultural production has suffered from drought in 2011 (cereal production is down by 25 percent despite input subsidies from the government) and global cotton prices appear to be softening. The Euro region crisis may affect Mali as members re-evaluate their budgetary priorities. A reversal in terms of trade could affect Mali's macroeconomic outlook and a drop in international support can affect fiscal outlook. Furthermore, the Libyan crisis had immediate as well as medium- to long-term effects on Mali's economy. Libya has important investments in Mali's tourism and financial sectors. The political situation could impact future Libyan investments in Mali. The Turareg rebellion in the north of Mali has affected and continues to have the potential to affect tourism in the region and through the country in the future.
Mamadou Diallo, who returned to his country after 20 years of exile, lives in Bananakoro, 13 kilometers from Segou (Center). He invested in land assets all the money he earned from working in restaurants in France. The large estate he bought allowed him to farm, but without relevant advice, his first experiments were unsuccessful until his path crossed with the project. The Competitiveness and Agricultural Diversification Program introduced Diallo to a new method of growing the papaya. "The technical support that I received from the project enabled me to farm one hectare of papaya through the drop by drop system. With manual watering that I used before; I would not have been able to plant one hectare of surface, "says Diallo in his field divided into several areas for diversified crops. "If I had not received this help, I could not have set up a watering system that allows moving quickly and farming a much larger area," added the planter, farmer, market gardener and breeder.

A Pox on the Patriarchy
Something to give us all hope
Projects that educate the public about the pervasiveness of sexism definitely give me hope. As a lawyer, many of the women I talk to have no idea that what they have experienced is illegal, or, even more problematically, NOT illegal because of how much sexism our laws continue to tolerate. A less sexist society will enact better laws.
As for comments, the anonymity of the internet emboldens trolls. My hope is that the vitriol they spew will be seen for what it is (sexist garbage meant to silence women and progressive men), and either ignored or used to teach others an important lesson.
