This is a sheer green shimmering gloss to top off lipsticks with for a fun effect! Great for layering. Unique.

This is my all time favorite lipglosses ever! Spring Bean is a lusterglass. In the tube it looks lime green with sparkles/glitter. On the lips it looks DIVINE! Think glamour, polished makeup and wet caramel lips with reflective sparkles. Gorgeous!

Green in the tube, caramel on my lips with minimal sparkle.
I put it over bright colors (orange, red) to tone them down just a bit. I've used it since 2002/2003. Sadly, I can't buy it again because it's been discontinued.

When I saw this at my local MAC counter, I was going "Oh dear Lord, I wonder how green lipgloss is going to turn out...". So I decided to swatch it on my hand, and it still looked green, but there was something about it that I loved that made me buy it. So I got home, took it out of the box, and tried it on. The green completely dissapeared on my lips, but it left me a wonderful natural caramel colour on my lips that I was amazed by. I applied this in a restaurant full of people, and I got a few stares, because it was green lip gloss. So you will get a few looks if you apply this in public.

I initially purchased this because any makeup product that's different from the norm instantly grabs my attention (such as foam foundation). I mean, green lip gloss? I thought it was one of those fashion-forward colors that was part of a spring collection or something, but nope.
Turns out that the green is supposed to counteract with the redness/pinkiness in your lips to create a golden color--which, to be honest, made me disappointed, because the shade of green in the tube looks so pretty! And I really was looking forward to green-tinted lips.
But regardless, it's very interesting. Not really a new concept with the green/yellow/orange concealer and all, but still interesting.
The color that shows up on your lips is a golden, caramel color that isn't really flattering on me or my NC30-35 skintone (I prefer light peachy pinks), but I can layer on different kinds of lip glosses over this if I ever want a golden sheen.
But I just LOVE everyone's reactions when you whip out this lip gloss!!! I think I might keep this in my makeup bag just for moments like that lol.
Anyway, the consistency of this is great. It's not sticky like the Lipglasses are, but it's smooth and glossy. This is actually my first Lustreglass; I only own Lipglasses and Cremesheen Glasses!
Would I repurchase? No.

I bought this after I emailed a MAC artist if she could recommend me a lipgloss that would actually show up on my lips. My lips are very, very pigmented even though I have very pale skin, they are very red. She told me that this lipgloss would neutralise my lips and make them a lovely honey colour.
Hmm, I received the gloss yesterday and needless to say it just looks like a clear, shiny gloss, my lips look the same but shiny. Im very disappointed because if I wanted a clear gloss I could have got one for much cheaper rather than £12.50.

MAC's spring bean lustreglass is amazing! I love how it has a brush applicator. The color is extremely unique and when its on the lips it gives them a gold and yellow sheen.However, the consistency of the product is thick and sticky. The lady working at the MAC counter told me they were discontinuing the lustreglass!
UPDATEE: okay so if you mix anything green with red, it can turn brown or neutral!! and i put a pink toned lipstick under this lipglass and it completely changed the colour! (: you can do SO MANY looks with this! try mixing different tones with it!

Over the years I have owned many MAC lipglosses (Tinted Lipglass, Dazzleglass, Lustreglass) but I gave them away to my mum, my sister, and my cousin. I am much more into lipstick (and Kissable Lipcolours).
But Spring Bean is amazing. This is the only MAC lipgloss I would repurchase. MAC describes it as a "new apple green with gold sparkle pearl overglaze". It makes my pigmented lips look like caramel.

Rochester Rhinos News Release -- www.rhinossoccer.com
Tuesday, February 22, 2011
ROCHESTER, N.Y. -- With the training camp scheduled to begin next month, the Rochester Rhinos announced that they have added two players to their roster. Joining the club are midfielder Brad Stisser and defender Will Traynor.
Stisser, a 24-year old native of California, played with AC St. Louis in 2010 where he scored five goals in 24 appearances. Prior to joining St. Louis, Stisser played collegiate soccer at Loyola Marymount after transferring as a sophomore from Coastal Carolina in 2006. While in college, he was a member of the Colorado Rapids U-23's (2007-08) and the Real Colorado Foxes (2009) of the Premier Development League (USL). He was a Colorado All-State selection and named the state's Best of the Best by the Rocky Mountain News during his senior season at Highlands Ranch High School.
"Brad is a left sided attacking player who can play in the middle or out wide on the left" said Rhinos Head Coach Bob Lilley. "He is somebody who has a good engine and is capable of scoring and setting up goals.
Traynor is a graduate of the University of South Carolina where played four seasons with the Gamecocks. The 6'2" defender was a Sports and Entertainment major and was a four-time Conference USA Academic All-Star while at South Carolina. He was awarded the conference's Commissioner's Academic Medal awarded to student athletes with a cumulative GPA of 3.75 or higher.
"Will is a player that started all four years at South Carolina and has good size and good athleticism" said Lilley. 'He has very good feet playing out of the back and reads the game very well. He will also add a physical dimension on the back."

BT phone home... on buzz for bishop day
John Bishop calls on Bristol to make a good call in aid of BT Sport Relief Challenge Battling John Bishop today took a brief break from his gruelling BT Sport Relief Challenge triathlon between Paris and London to call on the people of Bristol to pick up the phone and support today's Buzz for Bishop Day.
BT is today (Thurs) making a donation to Sport Relief for every call* made from a BT Payphone, or BT home or business land line – and will also donate 25p for every call made to BT's Directory Enquiry Service 118500 from any landline or mobile**.
The comedian, who has already cycled more than 185 miles, rowed across the channel and is today tackling his second of three marathons in three days, said: "This is without doubt the biggest physical challenge of my life, but every time I feel like I'm struggling, I will think back to the people I met in Sierra Leone earlier this year.
"Every penny I and everyone in the UK raise for Sport Relief really will make a massive difference to people's lives. Buzz for Bishop Day is a really simple way for people to get involved and do their bit. We all have someone we owe a call to, so just pick up the phone today and BT will do the rest."
The comedian's call came as a new survey by BT showed that only 20% of Bristol residents feel guilty for not calling their parents often enough, but 25% feel they owe a friend a call. The men of Bristol (69%) claim they don't stay in touch as often as they'd like because quite simply they are too busy and that they just don't have the time.
Further findings uncovered include:
• Twice as many men said they speak to their local takeaway at least once a month (37%) compared to only 18% who said they speak to their grandparents
• For the women of Bristol, more admitted to speaking to their doctor every month (37%), than their grandparents (19%)
• But Bristol's dads should be feeling a little more loved - the people of Bristol are the most likely across UK cities to pick up the phone to their dad on 'Buzz for Bishop Day'
BT and Sport Relief have a unique history, working together to join up brave celebrities and exhausting physical challenges to raise cash and change lives. Sport Relief 2012 will be no exception with the BT Sport Relief Challenges, a series of tough celebrity endurance feats, which underline BT's pledge to raise a whopping £1million. Last September saw the first, the BT Sport Relief challenge: Walliams VS The Thames, when David Walliams took on a tough, dangerous and physically gruelling feat, to swim the River Thames.
So come on Bristol, make a good call today and Buzz for Bishop.
*BT will donate 1p for every phone call made from a BT residential or business landline, every call made from a BT payphone and 25p for every call to BT's Directory Enquiry Service 118500 from any landline or mobile between 00.01 and 24.00 on the 01/03/12. In support of Sport Relief, an initiative of Comic Relief, registered charity 326568 (England/Wales); SC039730 (Scotland) **Calls to 118500 cost 29p per call plus £1.69 per minute (or part) from a BT line. Mobiles and other networks vary.

About BT and Comic Relief
BT has supported Comic Relief since 1985 providing telephony, call centres, network management, online support and thousands of volunteer hours, enabling the charity to take millions of pounds in pledges during the Red Nose Day and Sport Relief telethons. Hundreds of thousands of people call the BT-enabled donation line on 0345 7 910 910 on the night. Additionally, BT's eDonate system provides a secure online back-up for Comic Relief's website.
About BT MyDonate
BT has launched MyDonate as part of its ongoing commitment to making a positive difference to society. BT's support for charities spans more than 30 years, with its online donation platforms processing more than £160 million for high profile charity telethons over the last nine years alone, including the BBC's Children in Need and DEC's (Disasters Emergency Committee) Pakistan appeal. BT's donation platforms are also supporting the Royal Wedding Charitable Gift Fund.
Last year, BT invested money, time and in-kind contributions worth £27.6 million in programmes that ranged from supporting BT volunteers working in schools and community organisations to helping disadvantaged children in India escape poverty and become part of the digital society. This exceeded our target to invest at least 1% of underlying pre-tax profits in community programmes and sustainability.BT will run the MyDonate service completely for free, with all money going to charity (excluding credit/debit card charges), and forms a key part of the company's charitable programme.

I'm still trying to figure out a good studio room request. Being near the elevators isn't important to me. I prefer top floor, quiet - with a good view. I was hoping for a fireworks view. Can anyone point me to some pictures of cash standard villa studio views? Thanks so much for your help!!!! |

Boardwalk Villas is a DVC resort. So, DVC members use their points to stay there. However, Disney keeps some DVC rooms in inventory for non-DVC members to use. Those non-DVC members would be paying with money, not points, thus a cash stay. HTH.

We just got back from a wonderful Disney trip! We stay in the Inn in room 3265. We had a really nice view of the Courtyard and Boardwalk! We could even see some performers at night!
We, however, did not like the resort at all. Our fridge was dirty and still had food in it. We could hear our neighbors (which never happened before! Even at POR or ASMu) and the doors to our balcony didn't close right so we heard EVERYTHING outside. Only one elevator worked at one point. We didn't have any chairs on our balcony to sit outside. Everytime we ordered room service, we requested that they call and they didnt. We loved the walk to Epcot because we were there during F&W. We're going to try the Yacht and/or Beach Club and see how they fair. I really wanted to like DF and I had connecting rooms to my mom and dad and they had a completely different trip! They didn't have many of the problems we did but they also didn't feel the need to return. Maybe we'll try again in the future. At one point, we took the monorail from Epcot to MK and made a detour through the Poly and we missed it so badly!

BWI October 18 - 21 2012
My husband and I enjoyed a long weekend in WDW as my birthday celebration this year. This was our first time staying at the BWI.
Our room requests, placed with the IPO, were that we would prefer a king bed room with a courtyard view near the Innkeeper's Club lounge. On arrival to the resort, we were greeted by name by one cast member and then handed over to a bellman who tried to take us to the main desk. We mentioned to him that we were staying in the Innkeeper' Club and that resulted in our being turned over to another bellman who showed us to our room. We stayed in room 4253 which is two rooms in from the door to the Innkeeper's Club, with two queen beds overlooking the BoardWalk. The room was located above the sign for Kouzzina. The room was nicely decorated, well maintained and clean. Housekeeping was great for our brief stay. The room was made up by 2:00 each day for our break and then turn down was lovely each evening with the pillow wishes and taffy. There was a towel "Mickey" on one of the beds with a birthday card for me from the fab five when we arrived along with a box of truffles. We ordered tuxedo strawberries and champagne from private dining and was surprised by the gift of a white chocolate box shaped like a Mickey head that was filled with small dark and white chocolate Mickey heads. We enjoyed the offerings in the lounge and there was plenty of seating available. Breakfast included standard continental fare each day. Snacks were goldfish and cookies. Appetizers over our three evenings included various cheeses and crackers, veggies, hummus, some interesting salads, seared salmon and hot items such as spring rolls and other phyllo dough wrapped tidbits. Wine was decent. Desserts were also nice and we enjoyed the cordials on offer. Several times on our way in or out of the Innkeeper's Club we would encounter a bottleneck at the check-in desk and the Club door. Families would be checking in or out with strollers and luggage blocking the path to the door. Too much happening for the space available. The staff of the Innkeeper's Club were all very friendly, helpful and polite. Our impression of the resort itself is that it has a confusing wide-spread layout and is not the easiest resort to navigate on foot. I believe that it could be difficult for those with limited mobility or strollers. We did not use the pools but did take a walk around to see the amenities of the resort and enjoy the BoardWalk entertainment. We took a wrong turn somewhere behind the Clown pool and ended up walking all the way around to the parking lot in the front of the resort. We would hear the entertainment and guests from the BoardWalk from our room with the balcony door shut, especially the one act that used a synthesized "voice" as part of his act. Our balcony was small, chairs had to be turned sideways for leg space, and set back from the rooms on either side therefore we had limited view to the left and the right but could see directly across to the Yacht and Beach Clubs. We loved the location for easy access to Epcot. On our second day, we waited 30 minutes for a bus to the Magic Kingdom, and after stops at the Swan and Dolphin, made it thru the gates at the MK just minutes before the opening show started. We ate at the Flying Fish on our first night. We were very excited to try this place as we had read some very positive comments. We were seated in a noisy/busy location, the service was adequate and except for the crab cake appetizer, the meal was overcooked and over-hyped,. We both tried the steak and potato wrapped snapper combo that was being offered and neither of us were impressed. We were disappointed in the experience. Overall it was a pleasant experience but I did not have the same sense satisfaction that I have gotten from other deluxe stays at Disney. This was our second try at an Epcot area resort and most likely our last. We just prefer the Mk area resorts. Last edited by garada3; 11-13-2012 at 06:19 AM. Reason: incorrect bed size |

BWV October 24-November 3, 2012
We stayed in a BWV studio, standard view, using rented points on October 24,25,26. The ground floor room was 1025 and the outdoor space was looking at the parking lot and tennis courts. A very quiet area and way to far from the elevators but not an issue.
We could hear the people on one side of our room but not the other. Our kids stayed one night in a preferred view studio using rented points and it was room 2015...it overlooked the ring toss etc game area and had a great view of the Epcot fireworks and Fantasmic fireworks. The balcony was nice. We then all moved to a 2BR villa, using rented points and had a preferred view of the lake and boradwalk...room 5015/5017; October 27-November 3. The balcony was the full length of the 1BR portion and living area, the studio attached had a smaller balcony with 2 chairs. The larger balcony was able to handle all 6 chairs and 2 small tables. It was a covered roof balcony so in the wind and some rain we were still able to be outside. The view overlooked the lake and the ring toss game area. We could see all the boardwalk performers, we could see Epcot fireworks and not Fantasmic from the larger balcony due to the end wall separating the larger baclony from the studio balcony. The larger balcony was very private to either side. We never saw the neighbors nor could they see us.We could hear them both inside and out. The couch in the 1BR portion was more comfortable than the studio pull out. The washer dryer took forever to dry clothes. The kitchen had real dishes etc...not paper as in the studio portion. We used Garden Grocer to deliver groceries on our arrival and it was convenient and easy. The Luna Park Pool was full every day and they have continual activities for the kids. They also have a full bar and limited food at the pool. The refillable mugs are gotten from the Boardwalk Bakery. At the pool area they give you your choice of beverage and then you put it in your mug. The colors are black ,pink and light blue lids with no date. We used DDP for the first time and were very happy with the meals we had, and the places where you could use the snack credit were everywhere. We loaded up the last night at the bakery. We also used it for snacks at the Main Street Confectionary at MK and all the stuff under 5.00 was considered a snack credit. However, we did leave 15 quick service on our card unable to use. We had our table service meals at odd times and found it not so easy to then eat at a quick service place. We were a party of 4 adults and 1 child(5). The Pizza Window at Boardwalk sells a whole pie(8 slices) for 2 quick service and 1 slice for 1 quick service...the pizzas are pepperoni, cheese or veggie. All three are good and made while you wait. We stayed one week in the 2BR and I would do it all over again renting points. We were anxious about the renting of points but did not have one hiccup. The person who rented us their points paid for the DDP and we reimbursed them. We also had her purchase our park hopper tickets and used our CC for that and got a nice discount. We did the character breakfast at Tusker House with Donald. We did the lunch with Disney Channel characters. We did the dinner with Chip and Dale.We did the Winnie the Pooh character meal at Crystal Palace and the dinner with Chef Mickey. The food was good for buffet , plentiful and we went in knowing it was all about the characters. We were never disappointed with the amount of time spent with the characters, they signed the autograph book and waited patiently for the photographs. We had no intention of using the photopass but got right in the swing of that and realized they had the correct lenses to capture the perfect photo. If your child is interested in the Jedi in training show at DHS sign up first thing in the morning...the alternate list is very long and some kids miss out. We spent one day at Sea World. What a special day that was. The shows are the best and we saw one evey hour from 10AM forward. Feeding the dolphins and stingrays was fun. BWV had its own Halloween Party on the front lawn with a DJ and it was alot of fun. We did the one at MK and that was really fun with the rides being so much easier to get on in Fantyasyland. No waiting. The parade and fireworks were fantastic. Fantasmic was great as usual and we did the package from Mama Melrose. The seating is very good if you get to the special section about 30-45 minutes ahead...it's a walk in and get seated. We had to eat at 3:30 which wasn't so hot. My one complaint is that our park tickets kept demagnetizing and although they could still be read at the turnstiles they were not able to be used at the fast pass machine...a special trip to guest relations and we had a new card but lost out on the early time at fast pass. We kept them separate but one card had to be changed three times. All in all we had a great time. Without kids we would once again revert to staying at the Swan or Dolphin for the lower cost and acess to the same boardwalk amenities, bus, boat and skip the DDP and package delivery. We also ate at O'Hanas for dinner...food was ok but entertainment not so much... We ate at Via Napoli and the food was very good. We ate at The Biergarten and both the food and entertainment were good.. The food we had at Mama Melrose was excellent. Our kids ate at California Grill and loved their meal.

From this week's AllEars Newsletter:
Overlooked Attractions: Epcot Area Deluxe Resorts by Debra Martin Koma AllEars® Senior Editor This week, we're continuing our effort to update our lists of "overlooked attractions" around Walt Disney World. Just what do we consider an overlooked attraction? They are those little things that cause you to detour from your original plans, the additional touches that demonstrate Disney's well-known attention to detail and make the World the fascinating place that it is. Many of these items are of a "did you know that this was there?" nature, and a lot are "stop-and-smell-the-roses" details (often free!). In this issue, we focus on the "overlooked attractions" you can find at Epcot area's deluxe resorts: BoardWalk Inn and Villas, Beach Club and Beach Club Villas, and Yacht Club ==================== BOARDWALK INN AND VILLAS ==================== When talking about the Epcot area resorts, I have to start with the BoardWalk. The BoardWalk itself is one of my favorite Disney areas outside the theme parks, and in my opinion is often overlooked as something to do or somewhere to just BE. Try taking a walk along the BoardWalk in the cool of the morning -- on a sunny day, is there anything prettier than the sun sparkling on the bright blue water of Crescent Lake, with the gulls chattering as they glide by? Sigh. Oh, to be there right now, sipping a cup of coffee and munching on a fresh-baked goodie from the BoardWalk Bakery! There are lots of other reasons to not miss the BoardWalk area, including all the shops and restaurants. For a fun night out, there's Jellyrolls with the dueling pianos, or there's the brew pub at Big River Grille, or there's the ESPN Club if sports are your thing. There are midway games for the kids, typical of those found in seaside resorts like Atlantic City -- shoot some baskets to try to win a big stuffed animal. And several nights a week, you'll find "buskers" or street entertainers, performing along the BoardWalk -- maybe a rope wrangler, a fortune-teller, or even a one-man band. While you're walking the boards, be sure to stop in to Seashore Sweets'. Mix and match your own color combinations of M&M candies, ice cream treats... definitely worth a peek inside. If you're feeling energetic, you might want to rent a surrey bike. Don't miss this chance to terrorize innocent pedestrians as you pedal your way around the BoardWalk! Also along the BoardWalk is what I have found to be one of the most overlooked entertainment venues at Walt Disney World -- the Atlantic Dance Hall. If you're at least 21, stop in to listen to the music the DJs are spinning, have a drink, or even -- here's a concept -- dance! The ballroom is beautifully designed art deco and there are several balconies that afford a romantic view of Crescent Lake. Inside the lobby that the BoardWalk Inn and the Villas share, be sure to notice how architect Robert A.M. Stern created the atmosphere of the 1920s and '30s Atlantic Seaboard with vintage furnishings. In particular, note the odd accent chairs over near the fireplace. If you ask me, their faces are creepier than that of the clown that adorns the resort's pool slide, which so many folks find nightmarish. Speaking of the resort's pool area, check it out, even if you're not a swimmer. The main, themed pool is called Luna Park. It's a 190,000-gallon pool that dates back to the days of the 1920s amusement parks. The slide is called Keister Coaster and is built like a wooden roller coaster. Swimmers are jettisoned from the slide through the aforementioned clown's open mouth. Nearby is the Leaping Horse Pool Bar, which is designed to resemble a carousel. Although this area can be loud when overrun with swimmers in the middle of the day, it's a nice, quiet spot in the early morning hours, a perfect place for a cup of coffee while reading the paper. While you're strolling the pool area, why not circle the entire Boardwalk resort complex? It has been beautifully landscaped. You'll find colorful flowers, quiet surroundings, fountains and benches. Did you know that the BoardWalk is home to 14 two-story garden suites with private entrances? This off-the-beaten-path spot, accented with white picket fences, is the perfect place for a secluded respite -- bring a book or a light snack and park yourself on one of the benches to enjoy a quiet moment enjoying the landscaped courtyards and manicured rose gardens. The Belle Vue Room on the BoardWalk Inn side of the resort is a great place to relax after dinner. It's normally quiet (though it can get crowded and loud if there's a convention), with overstuffed furniture and antique radios playing old-time radio dramas. There are also tables with checkerboards and backgammon, if you want some mental stimulation while you sip your after-dinner cocktails. And don't underestimate the relaxation of sitting outdoors on the balcony, overlooking the goings-on on the BoardWalk down below. The BoardWalk's Community Hall offers a wide range of equipment for just about any interest, from ping pong to croquet and more. Community Hall also rents bikes, tubes, pool noodles, videos, and tennis racquets. There are two lighted tennis courts located on the Villa side of the resort, which are free to Boardwalk Inn and Villa guests. Stand on the bridge that leads to the Boardwalk for a great view of the IllumiNations fireworks (if the wind's blowing in the right direction you can faintly hear the music, too). Walk over to the Boardwalk vending carts and you can see the Magic Kingdom fireworks, too! It's hard to overlook the Friendships that sail between Epcot and Disney's Hollywood Studios, since they are the primary mode of transportation connecting the Epcot resorts to these locations. But don't miss the opportunity to treat the Friendships as an attraction on their own. If you're not in any hurry, try riding one for its entire circuit, or take it to one of the other Epcot area resorts and then walk back to the BoardWalk. It makes for a peaceful overview of the area. You say you prefer to be ON the water, rather than in it or looking at it? Be sure to ask at Lobby Concierge about the guided fishing (catch and release, of course!) excursions. They aren't free, but, for some (like my husband) there's nothing better than a few hours on the water with a fishing pole in your hand. If you're lucky enough to be visiting during the December holiday season, don't miss the awesome displays in the BoardWalk lobby. Annually, Disney chefs prepare an impressive edible display of some kind -- in the past they've had a gingerbread gazebo and a miniature confectionery theme park, complete with Hidden Mickeys.

Applications for admission are accepted and processed each semester of the academic year and the summer term until the capacity of the freshman class is reached on the Bowling Green campus and at the Firelands College campus in Huron, Ohio. Admission is competitive and is based on grade point average, standardized test scores and class rank.
High school students are encouraged to apply for admission beginning Aug. 1 between their junior and senior years. Because housing accommodations and classroom facilities are limited, students should submit their applications as soon after receiving them as possible. All credentials should be on file by Feb. 1 of the senior year to assure consideration for admission.
Although the largest number of new students enters in August, it is possible
to enter in the spring semester or the summer term. The application and credential
(freshmen and transfer, main campus) for the spring semester is Dec. 15, and for
the summer term, May 15. Transfer students applying to the fall have until July 15
to submit all credentials. Firelands College observes the above application
deadlines, but the credential deadline is extended
to one day prior to the beginning of the term.
An admissions application packet is available from the director of admissions, Bowling Green State University, Bowling Green, OH 43403. Applicants should complete the Application for Undergraduate Admission and the College Preparatory Curriculum Completion Form. They should take these, with a check or money order made payable to BGSU (no cash, please) for the nonrefundable application fee, to the high school counselor or principal to be forwarded with transcripts. All transcripts, test results and other academic credentials must be mailed from the school or agency to the Office of Admissions to be accepted as official. Academic credentials mailed by a student will be inadequate for evaluation for an admissions decision. All admission credentials submitted to the Office of Admissions become the property of Bowling Green State University and cannot be returned. Any misrepresentation of credentials will be cause for refusal or cancellation of admission or expulsion from the University if discovered subsequently. Students may also apply on the World Wide Web at http://www.bgsu.edu/offices/admissions/choose/welcome.html and follow the instructions provided.
Applicants who have already graduated from high school may send their completed applications and application fee directly to the BGSU Office of Admissions. An official final high school transcript should be sent from the high school to the Office of Admissions. The College Preparatory Curriculum Completion Form should also be given to the high school counselor or principal for completion.
Applicants who have earned high school equivalency through the General Education Development (GED) testing program should send their completed applications and application fee directly to the BGSU Office of Admissions. Both an official copy of the GED results and an official high school transcript of all work completed must be sent to the Office of Admissions.
A student who has not taken coursework anywhere (high school or college) during the past five years prior to enrollment is eligible for admission to the University. Under this five-year admission policy, a student receives admission and is required to take courses under the close supervision of his or her college academic adviser.
Applicants may fulfill the requirements for admission by presenting an International Baccalaureate Diploma or Certificate. Grades of four through seven in higher-level subjects may be considered for individual course credit. Students with questions about the IB should contact the Office of Admissions.
The American College Test (ACT) or the Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT) is required of all freshmen except those who have been out of high school for three or more years. Either test will fulfill this requirement. International applicants are not required to submit ACT or SAT results.
All non-native speakers of English are required to take the TOEFL test, or if unavailable, the Michigan Test. This is required of international students issued immigrant visas, those transferring from another American college or university, those (with English as a foreign language) coming from U.S. territories (such as Puerto Rico) and those granted U.S. citizenship within recent years.
As a condition of admission to the University and reflecting the educational philosophy of the institution, all freshman- and sophomore-level students are required to live in University residence halls. This policy does not apply to students over the age of 23 or to students commuting daily from the home of a parent, legal guardian or spouse (commuters must live within 50 miles of Bowling Green), or to students who have attained 60 academic semester hours or four semesters of campus residency on or before their first day of classes. See Housing for more details.
For residency requirements for Ohio residents and nonresidents, refer to residency regulations under Fees and Charges.
Bowling Green State University endorses the college preparatory curriculum as set forth by the Ohio Advisory Commission on Articulation between secondary schools and Ohio colleges. A strong high school curriculum is essential to a student's success at the University.
All students graduating from high school after April 15, 1986, who desire to pursue a four-year baccalaureate degree at BGSU are to fulfill a specified college preparatory program. See High School Articulation Policy.

Sebastopol, CA (September 5, 2003) – Nutiva, a Northern California manufacturer of organic hemp food products, today announced its $1,000 donation as a founding supporter of the newly formed Organic Center for Education and Promotion.
"In addition to its efforts to prove organic benefits through scientific research, the Organic Center will work to communicate those benefits to the widest possible audience," said Theresa Marquez, President of The Organic Center. "The result will be a rapid rise in public awareness about organic," she added. The Organic Center will also serve as a clearinghouse for organic research.
"We're pleased to be able to support the Center and it's goal of educating people about the many benefits of organic production," says Nutiva founder and president John W. Roulac. Nutiva has been donating 1% of its sales to sustainable agriculture groups since its inception in 1999, and is projecting to contribute over $10,000 to various groups in the coming year. Other Nutiva 1% recipients include Bioneers, Ecological Farming Association, HIA, OTA, Organic Consumers Association, Organic Farming Research Council, Oregon Concerned Citizens for Safe Foods, VoteHemp.com and the Watts Garden Project.
Nutiva applauds Patagonia founder Yvon Chouinard's "1% for the Planet Campaign" (www.onepercentfortheplanet.org), which encourages companies to donate 1% of net sales to environmental groups. Ironically, Fortune 500 organic food brands' donations to politicians that support "spray and erode" industrial agriculture often dwarfs any support given to support organic farming. "At Nutiva, we're organic advocates who believe our actions demonstrate to our customers our commitment to a healthy and sustainable world for everyone," adds Roulac.
Nutiva is dedicated to a healthy and sustainable world for all, demonstrating its mission to nourish people and planet by using healthy organic ingredients, enriching the soil, and supporting worthy causes by donating 1% of sales to groups that promote sustainable agriculture. Founded in 1999, Nutiva offers nutritious organic hemp and flax food bars, hemp protein powder, hemp oil and oil capsules, and shelled hempseed nationwide through more than 1,800 natural food retailers, including Whole Foods Markets and Wild Oats. Hempseed is the world's most nutritious seed–a rich source of Omega-3, GLA, vitamin E, and protein. For more information, visit http://www.nutiva.com or contact us at (800) 993-4367.

The Ultimate Fighting Championship announced today that there will be a new five-round main event at the upcoming sold out UFC 149event, set to take place at the Scotiabank Saddledome, in Calgary, Alberta, on July 21.
Injury to Brazilian Jose Aldo has forced the postponement of his featherweight title bout vs Erik Koch and Calgary will now see a new main event with the interim UFC bantamweight title bout between Urijah Faber and Renan Barao now taking place. The Faber-Barao was originally slated for UFC 148 on July 7th.
Faber, the former WEC featherweight champion who is 3-1 at 135 lbs, faces the owner of the longest unbeaten streak in mixed martial arts in Barao. The Brazilian 'Baron' has not lost in 27 straight fights and has stormed his way to the top of the UFC's 135 lbs division beating – in succession – Cole Escovedo, Brad Pickett and Scott Jorgensen.
Calgary's card also awaits news of another bout to be announced later as Mauricio "Shogun" Rua's bout against Thiago Silva was scratched due to an injury to Silva injury, and Rua was subsequently moved to headline the UFC's August 4th event in Los Angeles vs Brandon Vera.
UFC 149 will be available live on Pay-Per-View at 10 p.m. EST/7 p.m. PST on UFC.TV, iN DEMAND, DirecTV, DISH Network, Avail-TVN, and in Canada on Shaw Communications, Bell TV, Sasktel and Viewer's Choice Canada for a suggested retail price of $44.99 US/$49.99 CAN for Standard Definition and $54.99 US/$59.99 CAN for High Definition.

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Rudy!
Facts about Rudy
- Breed: Domestic Shorthair
- Color: Gray, Blue Or Silver Tabby
- Age: Young
- Sex: Male
- Hair: Short
Rudy's Info...
I am already neutered, up to date with shots, and good with cats.
Rudy was rescued from a local animal shelter. He is about 8 months old and is a short-haired grey tabby & white bi-color. He is a very friendly kitty looking for his forever home! If you have any questions or would like or meet him, contact Sharon at (410) 695-1176 or email: email@example.com
Other Pets at PawPrints Across the Heart
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Rudy, a Odenton Domestic Shorthair cat was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Domestic Shorthair for sale in Odenton, or seeking a Domestic Shorthair cat from a breeder in Odenton.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Odenton already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Odenton breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Domestic Shorthair breeders who help with Domestic Shorthair rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Odenton paves the way for another one to be saved.

How Toxic Is Your Child's Car Seat?
How Toxic Is Your Child's Car Seat?
First-Ever Consumer Guide Now Available
By Ted Sylvester
Just two months after launching the first-ever "Consumer Guide to Toxic Chemicals in Vehicles," which exposes "new car smell" as a toxic brew of chemicals, Ecology Center researchers now say that child car seats have the same problem as car interiors: their components are made with chemical additives that can make you sick! Potentially dangerous substances such as are PVC, lead, brominated flame retardants, and heavy metal allergens found in dashboards, steering wheels and armrests are also used to make child car-seat cushions, belt clips and sunshades.
Researchers point to the fact that children, especially developing infants, are far more vulnerable than adults to the serious health risks posed by chemical exposure.
The Ecology Center tested over 60 brand new infant, convertible and booster car seats and found that while some are virtually free of the most dangerous chemicals, others are saturated. The findings and complete test results, including Best & Worst Picks in three child car seat categories, are posted on the Ecology Center's new project website: HealthyCar.org. Consumers looking to buy a new car seat or wondering if their child's current car seat is safe can visit this site and search by model, or comparison shop between different models.
"It is absolutely essential that parents put their children in car seats while driving," said Jeff Gearhart, the Ecology Center's Clean Car Campaign Director. "However, some car seats are safer than others when it comes to chemical composition. Healthycar.org will make it easier for parents to choose the least toxic car seat for their child."
Chemicals tested for include: bromine (associated with brominated flame retardants); chlorine (indicating the presence of polyvinyl chloride, or PVC and plasticizers); lead; and heavy metal allergens. Such chemicals have been linked to major health problems such as liver, thyroid and developmental problems in children. Babies, studies show, are the most vulnerable population in terms of exposure to chemical-laden dust and inhaling toxic fumes since their systems are still developing.
Infant and child car seats were sampled with a portable, hand-held XRF analyzer, which identifies the elemental composition of any material in less than 60 seconds. Many parts of each seat were tested, including the cushion, seat base, belt clips, sunshade, and rigid foam backing. The test results were analyzed and an overall chemical rating was assigned to each child car seat.
Results show that the levels of dangerous chemicals contained in child car seats vary greatly between models. Ecology Center researchers hope that HealthyCar.org will make it easier for parents to select a model that contains the fewest harmful chemical additives.
The study of child car seats, the guide to car interiors, and the recent launch of the HealthyCar.org website are part of an ongoing effort by the Ecology Center's Clean Car Campaign to get consumers to pay more attention to the chemicals in their cars, and in turn, force automakers to provide products made with safer alternatives. A full list of action steps is available at HealthyCar.org.
The chart above lists the car seat ratings for car seats retailed by Target and Babies "R" Us in December 2006. The car seats are listed by car seat type (infant, convertible or booster) and in order of overall rating, lowest concern to highest concern. The overall car seat rating, as well as ratings for bromine, chlorine, lead and other chemicals, are provided. Detailed information on the concentrations of elements found in particular components is available at HealthyCar.org.
Chemicals of Concern
The Ecology Center's child car seat and car interior studies analyzed chemicals contained in materials that pose significant environmental and health concerns. The chemicals include brominated flame retardants (BFRs), PVC (and the associated phthalates), lead, mercury, antimony, chromium, copper, cobalt, tin, nickel and arsenic.
BFRs have been known to cause neuro-developmental toxicity, hormone disruption, learning and memory impairment, and reproductive problems. Lead has been linked to brain and kidney damage, nerve disorders and developmental problems. And phthalates that are contained in vinyl are associated with hormone and reproductive disorders, as well as cancer.
Many of these chemicals have already been subject to regulatory restrictions around the world. Lead, mercury, and chromium have been restricted in vehicles by the European Union's End of Life Vehicle Directive. BFRs have been regulated by the EU's Restriction on the Use of Certain Hazardous Substances in Electronics and Electronic Equipment.
Choosing a Healthy Car
If you're about to buy, lease, or rent a car and want to choose the least toxic vehicle, visit the Ecology Center's new project website: HealthyCar.org. With an interactive database of over 200 models of cars and trucks, consumers can search by model or class. Each product is given a level of concern of high, low or medium, and is also assigned a rating between 0 and 5 in order for consumers to compare vehicles.

Doubles with Myself
Loaded up the AGFA Precisa in my Diana Mini along with my Diana Flash at a friend's bowling birthday, so lots of streaking light, but when I was advancing, the film tore. I rewound it, but then couldn't get the leader out of the canister. It even shredded my film puller! I got my lab to help, but after I had shot the whole thing in my Asahi Pentax S1A, I had to bring in the whole camera for them to process it.
Taken by lokified with a Lomography Diana Mini (available in our Online Shop) loaded with Agfa CT Precisa 100 (35mm) film (available in our Online Shop) in Sydney, Australia. These tags describe this photo: asahipentax, diana, dianamini, doubleexposure, double, and doubles.

Hello friends, I have a Kenmore side by side. Date of manufacture Nov. 2000 Model 106.50264992 The ice cubes are often hollow and broken. The ice in the bin clumps up and freezes together causing a mess of a jam. A couple times a month I have to remove the bin and take it outside to thaw a huge chunk of broken cubes froze together. Very frustrating. Any advice? |

Check the door seals. My parents had a similar issue - at least the melting/clumping portion - in their LG FD and on his second visit for the same problem the repair tech ordered a new seal. I was skeptical but it did resolve the issue. |
- Posted by grandmaof3 (My Page) on Wed, Jun 26, 13 at 14:12
We found the hollow ice cubes to be from a plugged or slightly plugged up water line going into the ice maker. We had a small ice jam near the back now and then. Cleaning out or getting a new water line should be a quick fix. Our refrigerator is a GE side by side...about the same age as yours. |
If you have water on the door, how is the flow? We had the same issue as grandma, plugged filter. We were getting small cubes. Replaced 8 year old filter, all is good. |
You might go to this site, go to the refrigerator forum and search around. I did a search on hollow ice, and found that link, but it was pretty detailed as to the fix , but a lot was over my head. Here is another post http://forum.appliancepartspros.com/refrigerator-freezer-repair/507547-whirlpool-refrigerator-ed25dqxbw00-ice-maker-not-freezing-properly.html The suggestions include low water pressure either due to a saddle tap, or clogged water filter, or the temp is too cold, |

Yes, the water in the door is slow coming out also...indicating semi plugged water line/filter in water going into ice maker. |

Showtime Synergy!
First off let me warn you this is a pic heavy post!
O.M.G. I completely love this doll. She far surpassed what I was expecting and her facemold and screening is so soft and beeeeyoootiful! I haven't peeked at Jerrica, Rio or my new Giselle yet, but the plan is to debox 1 doll a day for the next 4 days with Giselle on the final day. Group shots will be had at some point as I pull out my HJ Jem. Also someone asked for a group shot of the NF girls together, so I'll shoot Giselle, the twins and Erin together as well. Lots to look forward to!
So let's delve into Synergy! Some of you are totally not Jem fans, so here's a little write-up courtesy of wiki so you know who her character is:
An extraordinarily sophisticated holographic computer designed to be the ultimate audio/visual entertainment synthesizer. Synergy was created by Emmett Benton, and is in many ways considered to be his life's work. Synergy can generate holographic images that are extremely lifelike and synched to accompanying sound-effects; rendering them flawlessly convincing, despite the fact that they aren't solid. Synergy's artificial intelligence, appearance, and voice are all based on the likeness of Emmett's late wife Jacqui. Synergy was intended to be a surrogate mentor, friend, and maternal figure to Jerrica and Kimber. She manifests herself physically as a hologram in the form of a light purple-skinned woman with dark purple hair and eyes, when she chooses to physically interact; and communicates with Jem remotely via a pair of star-shaped earrings.
And here is her original cartoon incarnation:
First let's check out the fun packaging! It's a fun shaped box – not a true rectangle because a portion is cut off, and then inside a panel hides the accessories in it's own space.
And so now we move onto the doll! IT did such a great job capturing the look while making her gorgeous at the same time. Perfectly recreated the outfit and I love the sparkle they gave it when choosing the fabric.
The boots and gloves are great too. Actually the gloves are attached to the hands and are interchangeable to "normal" hands. The boots are a great shiny pink with purple trim and because IT is using the CI body, that means she can stand on her own! yay! I have to admit there is something to their big feet, LOL. Our other girls teeter on their tiny feet! And I had to take a shot of the classic symbol that represents Synergy.
She also comes with some little accessories. A gift box to Jerrica which opens and holds the Jem star earrings perfectly! So cute! Plus a master tape and some miniature screen shots that are accurate to the cartoon. (excuse the less than clear shots, I was too lazy to swap out my macro lens at that point, LOL)
And I wanted to do a closer shot of her eyes! I always wondered how they'd do her "blank" eyes like the cartoon without it looking really strange and I have to admit they nailed it! There's a slight hint of a shadowy pupil in there but the rest is just silver and it came out beautifully!
And finally some additional shots for you to ogle… I love her facemold and cheekbones and that squarish jaw so so much!
And my favorite shot from the bunch…

Love, love, love these shots of Synergy!!!! I received Jem, Synergy, and Rio, but I am going to wait and open them up Christmas morning. Thank you so much for sharing your pics with us. I am so glad Synergy turned out beautifully.
So, I still don't get the whole Jem thing, BUT, even I have to admit she is a fantastic version of the show images I have seen — IT nailed her look perfectly. I'm so glad you are loving her!
I wonder if IT will use this mold for another character some time, I wont be collecting this line but I love the mold, its different and fun.
I did get RIO today but im a Homme lover -
I'm not a fan of Jem at all. Never got into the cartoon or especially the dolls. But there is something about this one I like. I feel like she's weird enough that I could use her in a sci fi photo story or something. Maybe I'll add her to the collection one day.
Love all of your shots!!! -
Congrats Shuga! I checked your blog everyday waiting impatiently to see your pics, and I must say I'm not disappointed, Synergy looks fab', I love how her hair is so much perfectly 80's
And I'm even more impatient to get mine!! (^,^) -
Awesome post! She is amazing!!!
I'm never watched the Jem show, and won't be collecting this line – but I can definitely appreciate a Truly Outrageous Line of dolls! I've seen the original dolls (eeek)….so Integrity's re-imagining of Jem & her friends is AWESOME! Love the colors, the packaging, the accessories…and *love* the haircolor on this one. If I had unlimited space & funds, I'd get 'em too.
Congrats and Enjoy!
I'm hoping you'll get the entire line – so that we can enjoy more pix… -
Really an awesome doll. IT was pretty happy doing something like this.
Love the photos!!
Congrats! -
Well, Jem's a blast from my past too, and although unfortunately I lack the funds to collect these dolls as well, I'm thrilled I get to enjoy them through your blog! Gorgeously photographed, as always! I must say this sculpt intrigues me. I'm with Monkeyhaircutter – it'd be interesting to see it make its appearence somewhere in IT's regular line some day.
Wow! Hair on you Synergy looks perfect. Did you wash it? I have just deboxed mine and hair doesn't look as good as in your doll
BTW, congratulations on the pictures. They're perfect.
Regards from Madrid.

Gift Card Blowout: Black Friday Until the New Year
As you know, Swagbucks has plenty of Gift Cards that you can get for free with the web's premier digital dollar. What could be better than getting to save money without even spending money?! Especially during the holiday season. We've got a wide variety of Gift Cards in our Swag Store; from Amazon to Barnes & Noble to Starbucks to Sephora to CrazyDogTShirts to iTunes to PayPal to Target and more. We have these available in the Swag Store all the time and they're always free to you by using your Swag Bucks.
But, we're going to make what's already an awesome system even better. Here's how…
Every day of the week we will pick one Gift Card in our Swag Store and "blow it out"! Starting on Black Friday (November 27th) we'll drastically cut the price to much less than we normally have these cards at and you can scoop up as many as 2 for far less than their full price. We won't announce which gift cards are the blowout card of the day but if and when you find it, go to town. Some gift cards may be the blow out gift card of the day more than once and at different blowout prices. That means you should probably explore the Swag Store every day just in case we're blowing out one of your favorite online store's gift card. We will do this all the way up until January 1st, 2010.
And remember, when you redeem a Gift Card, it'll appear in your My Gift Cards section of your My Account page. It'll look something like this…
This way, you have a neat, organized way to view all the cards you've redeemed and used. What can we say? We try to help you keep track of your free spending.
Get ready to be rewarded by our Gift Card Blowout, it's going to be awesome….
