I've had a rough couple of weeks. Two weeks ago Friday I did something I'd never done in my life. I called a helpline.
I found that I really couldn't handle the fact that at the school I like, a lot of the people I liked were going on diets. And not just women, but men too. And my deep, deep seated horror at this wasn't just at the fact that they were dieting, but at the part of me that was like hey, I should do this too.
I've really never talked about this. It has taken me a very long time to realise that a lot of my issues around eating are not just me being weird. They are issues. Most of my teenage years I literally could not eat a full meal in front of other people. I could eat some things like fries, chocolate, ice cream (but only in a cup, not in a cone), occasionally prata or a hamburger (but never bigger than one layer), never rice ( I LOVE RICE), rarely spaghetti only fusilli. Never noodles in soup even though I love them. I worried a hell lot about the fact that while I knew I was thin, I never thought I was any kind of attractive, and to be honest I didn't think I was that thin. To be honest, it's difficult for me not to think these things now. I ate at home, so I wasn't any kind of anorexic or bulimic. I was just really really hung up on the idea that if people saw me eat they would somehow hate me.
In JC I was in a class with boys who would inhale their food in absolutely disgusting ways and they were totally okay with it. And some of them I still hang out with, and eat with, and the fact that they would think this is totally bizarre and they really don't care is one of the reasons why I am grateful for my friends. But there were also boys who enjoyed reminding me that I wasn't pretty enough, wasn't smart enough, and wasn't really much of anything and really, the only reason they hung out with me was because all the smarter girls weren't interested. Which, really, isn't good for anyone.
So really it was university, and living alone and realizing that hey, eating can be enjoyable if you're doing it with people you feel safe with. It's okay to enjoy your food with other people, not just secretly at home in the middle of the night after picking at fries you've shared with your friends. So university was good. The fact that most British people are way bigger than I am also helped a lot.
But then I came home and compared poorly to the shorter, thinner people I was surrounded by, and got comments like "I really think you should lose some weight", and I was off again. But this time it wasn't so bad because I started exercising, and exercise really does give you endorphins and endorphins really do make you happy.
Then, here, I lost weight last year after an awful bout of stomach flu (3 days of not being able to keep down solids can do that to you) after which I went back home to a chorus of "Wow! You look great!" And resisting the temptation to go back to being damn weird about food was difficult.
But two weeks ago, in school, that really was the worst. This teacher had left for some job training course that took 6 months and came back a whole lot skinnier, with a new wardrobe, and cute makeup. And she wasn't fat to begin with but all she can say is "I didn't want to go back to the time when I was 8kilos heavier in high school" like it was some kind of curse. And she tells me I'm skinny and I'm dying inside because I feel like there is no way, absolutely no way she is telling the truth. And the office guy skips meals and is aiming to lose at least 10 kilos in order to be in shape for some competition two months away. Another teacher is on a 200 calories for dinner diet. The only guy I can count on is another English teacher who has a "cutely chubby" girlfriend and really likes the fact that she isn't skinny. And really isn't ashamed of it. But when the others get together and talk about diets and how good it is to be skinnier all I can think is "FML I hate all of you it's hard enough to eat lunch in the staffroom and now I have to listen to this crap". And I couldn't deal with it.
So, I called the helpline. I didn't tell them about myself, I told them about the other teachers, and it was good enough because the woman on the other end of the line said "You know, you sound like a sensible person."
And I thought "Hey, maybe I can be."

Crimson Hot Sauce By: Bravado Spice Company
While Bravado Spice Co. is famous for their line of savory fruit-based hot sauces, Crimson is a straightforward pepper sauce, made with árbol and red jalapeño chiles. The deep, concentrated pepper flavor is equal parts savory, earthy árbol, and bright, fruity jalapeño, with a moderately spicy kick. Apple cider vinegar joins the two peppers to provide the base of this savory sauce, adding lively acidity and a mild fruity flavor that complements the chiles rather than competing with them. A touch of garlic rounds out the flavor profile. Although there's a hint of sugar added to bring out the natural sweetness of the peppers, this sauce is bold and savory all the way.
Pair this versatile sauce with anything and everything… pizza, tacos, pho, grilled or roasted vegetables, you name it. With its perfect balance of heat and flavor, Crimson just might become your new favorite "all-purpose" hot sauce!

Posted: 18 September 2003
Author: Mrinal Pande
Penguin, India, 2003
Rupees 239
Perhaps the best way to summarise this revealing book is to let the author speak for herself. Below we reproduce an interview, first published in The Times of India, in which the celebrated Indian author, Mrinal Pande, spoke to Lalita Panicker.
What is the biggest obstacle you faced while doing research for this book?
Official silence and a lack of official data. I had to get most of my information from NGOs. When the government talks of reproductive health and sexuality, it sees these issues only from the point of view of obstetrics and gynaecology. There is complete silence on the psychological state of women, and the traumas they face.
Mrinal Pande...opening a window to the life of rural Indian women© R.V.Moorthy
The violence and sexual abuse that women regularly face goes largely unrecorded. We speak of fertility so much, yet there is no word on infertility which so many Indian women suffer from. Women have no understanding of their own bodies, although they need that to control fertility and maintain reproductive health. What perceptions about sexuality did you encounter? People speak so little about sexuality because they don't even have the langu-age to do so. We wrote the Kama Sutra but when it comes to discussing sexuality, women do it in a roundabout manner. There is a complete reluctance to discuss matters like abortion. In fact, most women do not want to sound knowledgeable about sexuality since it is seen as a sign of immorality. There is also a deep mistrust of doctors when it comes to matters of sexuality. Contrary to popular perception, I found that men too are extremely shy of discussing matters related to sexuality.
Do you think women in rural areas want smaller families? Yes, but the problem is that health functionaries are still stuck on targets and ugly sterilisation methods. Women are against terminal fertility control methods because of high infant mortality and also because it gives their husbands a reason to doubt their fidelity. Once the fear of pregnancy is removed, they feel, women will start seeing other men. Yet, women have no access to reversible methods of contraception - only 2 per cent of Indian men use condoms. In any case, most women are too scared to tell their husbands to use condoms. How can we address the problem of maternity-related illnesses among rural women? You have no idea how bad the situation is: There's both extreme lack of hygiene, resulting in recurring infections and lack of knowledge about these illnesses. I tell you the greatest pollution we have in India is the pollution of silence and shame. Many women go through their reproductive years in great pain. I met women who had as many as eight children but had no clue about their bodies or how to look after themselves. Did you find that women have a son preference on their own or are they coerced into it?
A son is sometimes a woman's only chance of acquiring a stake in the family property. In the absence of social security, she often sees him as insurance for old age. She also has the fear of losing her husband if she doesn't produce a son. If these conditions were not there, most women would perhaps opt for a girl child. But as things stand today, a woman has no choice at all. Do you think more investment in health would help? Yes it would, but the priority has to be on health insurance for the poor. The government, instead of beefing up the health sector, especially for women, is withdrawing and leaving the field to the private sector. The private sector in health is highly exploitative and does not always offer the best treatment. In fact, government funds go to the private sector in the form of subsidies in return for which it is meant to provide help to the poor. But have you ever seen that happening? The poor are forced to go to the private sector where they are fleeced by quacks. Earlier, the government at least offered some health protection in the form of anti-malaria and TB programmes. All that public health now focuses on is tubectomies. We have been hearing about the cafe-teria approach in reproductive health, but actually what we see is the ration card approach. This would mean that illegal abortions are increasing. Yes. This is ironic because in India abortions are legal. It's the lack of healthcare access which forces women to undergo dangerous procedures at the hands of untrained people.
What then is the answer? A healthcare system which is based on the needs of people and which is localised. Another issue which needs addressing is that our health departments are largely women-free zones. Above all, we need to discuss issues of sexuality and women's health openly. When the mighty are silent, the poor retreat even more. In which direction should healthcare for women go? We need to get away from this obsession that unless women are sterilised, the country is sitting on a ticking population time-bomb. We should not keep harping on the glories of our civilisation or how it once worshipped women when we cannot ensure basic dignity for them today.

The holidays got the best of me, then the new year, then the snow finally came here to New England, foot after foot after foot. So here we are mid way through February and I'm finally sharing my top 9 beachbody recipes of 2016! You know I love sharing recipes but what I love even more is sharing Beachbody recipes that have been a success in our home. It's the program that has helped me get to be the healthy person I am today. Over seven years I tried many different programs and diets, I am now sharing the meals that we eat at home with others so that it can help them achieve their goals and that makes me a happy Momma! People often ask me how I lost those last measly ten pounds. Well this is it. It's all about portion control, eating the right foods and making time for exercise.
The secret ingredient in this recipe is the dressing. I've never been a mayo girl so actually liking a chicken salad or tuna salad has proven to be difficult for me. Then I was introduced to this deliciousness! Plus I have a secret obsession with green onions!
8. Chipotle Sweet Potato Chips
I thought these were going to be difficult to make but I was pleasantly surprised! A lot of people have asked me how to get the chips crispy and after three different attempts with making my own snack chips I finally mastered it thanks to my #21DayFix cookbook. I share my secret here and it'll give you the perfect snack to munch on without the guilt.
I love a good soup but I need it to be hearty and filling. I love that the carbs in this dish are beans! Beans are good for you! I like topping it with just a little cheese or sour cream to give it the creaminess it begs for.
This is one of the most flavorful stir fry's I've ever made. So much so that if you know me, you know I don't make the same soups, stir fry's or even chicken dishes more than twice because I love trying new flavors and ingredients but this stir fry is made frequently in my house. I top it on rice for the family and I serve mine over a bed of lettuce! No need for dressing because the flavor and sauce is perfect.
I made this for my kids last Summer and I have to admit. I was skeptical lol. I figured if this was the way to to a healthier ice cream treat then it sure wasn't going to actually taste like ice cream! Well guess what? It does! I added a little whipped cream for the kids and wala a healthy ice cream and they have no clue. Win Win for anyone!
I love starting my day off with a good breakfast wrap! The good news is you can make the scrambled eggs the day before, assemble your wrap, warm it in the microwave, wrap it in foil and be out the doors in minutes! Don't say your too busy in the morning to eat a healthy breakfast.
My husband and I were addicted to these the second we had a bite. Our local grocer sells low sodium Boar's Head deli roast beef and it's perfect for this dish. I've never gotten a good photo because that's how quickly I dive into this when I make them! I also think this would be great topped on a bed of green too! Hmmm..I may just have to try that.
You know I had to try and find a healthy version of General Tso's Chicken for my husband. It's all about portion and if you serve it over cauliflower rice you can cut out the carbs all together. Don't dine out with bloat, cook and eat Chinese in this weekend!
Everyone needs a healthy go-to dressing. I know why this is my number one viewed recipe. I can honestly tell you after I made these two I've never used a bottle dressing again. The mustard one can be used for so many different kinds of salads plus marinate your chicken and steak in it for the grill! The Balsamic one is awesome for any salads that have chicken and strawberries in it! Again, marinate your meat in this one too!

text: Keystone Lake Catfishing Report 3/17/2015 Posted March 28, 2015 by Steve Carroll Steve Carroll March 28, 2015 I had another Catfish trip on Keystone today. The fish are still up the river in good numbers in the 20 FOW range. The fish are staged in the main river channel and actively feeding.


text: I'm trying to follow the instructions to the letter but not getting the expected result. I've cut and pasted the snippets (although in the first there's "myTable" which I've changed to "MyTable" to match the rest of the settings) I just can't spot why it's not behaving as expected and not confident enough about my Access to be sure it's not me! Some of the Access terms need better translation from the French version - Empty Status > Allow zero length, Column = Field Name, Number (long) = Long integer etc - but substantially I'm happy with the body.

A Midnight Dreary – Book V of the DeChance Chronicles Underway
Work is well underway as A Midnight Dreary passes the 30,000 word mark. I'm sort of doing Nanowrimo this year, in that the book will pass 50k before the end of the month, but it will be much longer than that. At 30k I have only just reached the beginning of the three separate threads that will bring all the main characters, Donovan and Edgar Allan Poe from my novel Nevermore, Bullfinch, and a new O.C.L.T. member heading to New Orleans to meet with Copper and Alicia from my novel Darkness falling, and Amethyst, Cletus J. Diggs, and old Nettie headed into the Great Dismal Swamp.
This novel, probably the most complex and ambitious of my career, will draw firmly together the adventures of the O.C.L.T. – Donovan DeChance and his world, Cletus J. Diggs and Old Mill, North Carolina, and the open strands left (read that as surviving characters) from Darkness Falling… At least two versions of Poe stories from a very different perspective, one well known and one obscure – multiple continents… world building.
One thing readers have asked for is a fleshing out of the character Amethyst, Donovan's love interest, and this novel will not disappoint. There will also be revelations in the odd and discordant career of the Not Quite Right Reverend Cletus J. Diggs…
The cover art was purchased from a Russian artist, Konstantin Korobov… the cover design is by David Dodd…
More updates to follow. There is an excerpt from this book titled MASQUERADE available along with several of my other works, including the entire novel "Heart of a Dragon," first in this series.
The Not Quite Reverend & More – SALE!0
I'm having a sale, of sorts…an ongoing, cyclic promotion of my many, many books. Over on Facebook, on the Official David Niall Wilson page, I've started talking about one book a week…what made me write it, inspirations, techniques, the history of where I was and what I was doing at the time – for the anthologies like Defining Moments it's a sort of extended story-notes section. Along with these promotions, I'm putting the books I talk about on sale for only .99 for a short time. Right now you can get Defining Moments & On the Third Day for .99 through the 15th, and The Not Quite Right Reverend until the 20th.
The hope is I'll pick up some new readers along the way, and that some of those getting the good deal will take a few moments to go to Amazon, B&N, and other places to leaves me a review, or stop by the Facebook page and talk about my work. The two things about being a writer I enjoy the most (in this order) are people reading what I've written, and talking with people who've read what I've written…of course, the writing itself is a close third.
This week's book is "The Not Quite Right Reverend Cletus J. Diggs & The Currently Accepted Habits of Nature," first published by Bad Moon Books. You can hear all abou
t this one, or buy and read it now for .99 – OR – in this particular case, I've also put the unabridged Audiobook on sale – narrated by the amazing Mr. Joe Geoffrey – for only $9.99 – that's a big savings, and he did a great job.
Here's an audio sample to give you an idea: Sample of the Not Quite Right Reverend Cletus Audiobook
I hope you'll all take some time to come by, see what's going on, and join in on the discussion. Also, I'm editing the novel HALLOWED GROUND for publication soon, and writing another titled THE PARTING – so there's plenty of variety…and 100 percent more sale.

How to resize widgets on your Android phone
Master the use of widgets by sizing them to make the best use of your Android phone's screen.
Last updated:
A "widget" is the term the Android operating system uses to describe a different way of getting information from an app or interfacing with it. They're technically app extensions that sit on your phone's home screen.
Android widgets offer a variety of cool functions to make things easier. A widget could let you control your favourite music app, show your day's appointments in a single list or even auto-update weather information as you move around and the day progresses.
They're an important and valuable part of the Android operating system, so here are some ways to ensure you're getting the best from them.
How to install widgets
Press down on any blank space on your Android phone's home screen and hold for a short time. You'll get a "helicopter view" showing all the home screens plus options for Wallpapers, Widgets and Settings.
Tap on "Widgets" (obviously) and from there you'll see a list of widgets available from the apps you have installed.
Not every app offers a widget, but the ones you do have access to will be in alphabetical order. You might also see some widget options for the same app. For example, a calendar app might have a widget for a single day, a week and a whole month.
Press and hold on the one you want and you'll be able to drag and drop it on the page where you want it to sit. This lets you group your widgets thematically or just front load your home screens with the more useful ones to make them easier to access.
Resizing widgets
You can make quite a few changes to your widgets after you've placed them to get them in the perfect shape and position to be the most useful.
Once again, just press and hold on the widget you have on your home screen. You'll be able to move it around, and when you let go, a solid border will appear with little dots. You can drag these to resize the widget. This is helpful especially for clock and calendar widgets. (And for anyone who just likes a neat and symmetrical screen.)
Get rid of widgets
All done with that app, or just don't want a cluttered page anymore? Press and hold the widget and in addition to moving it around the screen, you can bring it up to the "remove" option. Once it's there, simply let go and it's all gone.

SAN MATEO, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Velostrata, the leader in cloud workload mobility, today announced Velostrata 2.0, with new capabilities that significantly simplify, speed and de-risk cloud migration. Velostrata's agentless, streaming-based mobility software has always made it easy to extend the data center to take advantage of cloud compute capacity on-demand, but now adds the ability to fully move applications and their data to the cloud. Velostrata 2.0 also comes with additional support for Microsoft Azure, complementing existing AWS support and providing multi-cloud flexibility and anti lock-in. In addition, Velostrata today announced $17.5M in Series B funding led by strategic investor Intel Capital, with participation from existing investors Norwest Venture Partners and 83 North.
"Enterprises are continuing to adopt a public cloud strategy, however adoption has yet to reach its potential, given the complexity and risk of data loss or downtime during the actual workload migration period," said Terri McClure, senior analyst at Enterprise Strategy Group. "By decoupling the storage from compute and allowing these components to migrate independently, while maintaining performance and availability, Velostrata is taking out a lot of the complexity and risk, enabling enterprises to make that leap to the cloud quickly and simply."
Simplified and Smart Cloud Migration
Unlike replication-based migration methods, Velostrata's software uniquely decouples compute from storage without sacrificing performance. Velostrata's streaming and caching allows applications to be operational in the public cloud within minutes, while storage is migrated in the background. Velostrata Smart Migration is agentless, making it far simpler to deploy, and automatically adapts workloads for the target cloud, requiring no changes to virtual machine images, storage or even management processes. Benefits of Smart Migration include:
- Improved Business Agility: Migrate compute in minutes while intelligently streaming data in the background, enable workload mobility across cloud regions without the need to move storage, and support dev/test projects on demand, without inflating storage requirements on-premises
- Reduced Costs: Eliminate data centers by migrating enterprise applications to the public cloud; reduce opex costs by simplifying and accelerating the migration process.
- Improve Operational Efficiency: Leverage the same in house management tools and processes currently in use. Simplify movement of complex multi-tier applications using Velostrata Runbook Automation, allowing for mass operations with scheduled orchestration.
- Mitigated Security and Compliance Risks: Gain full control over where data resides (on-premises, in the public cloud or some combination), as data is encrypted in motion and at rest.
Velostrata Smart Migration is especially ideal for stateful workloads like ERP, Collaboration, Middleware, OLTP, Oracle and MS-SQL databases, and compilers. By leveraging real-time streaming of data-rich workloads, applications can be fully operational in cloud within minutes, avoiding the need to fully replicate and then synchronize data prior to running, which could take days if not weeks.
"We tested Velostrata for potential use, including for the migration of workloads from our on-premises data center to Azure," said Brian Lane, enterprise architect, Core Platforms at British American Tobacco. "For us, a key element of Velostrata is that it makes it possible to test before you migrate, so we could validate performance and capacity requirements in Azure first, then migrate the data seamlessly and transparently whenever we were ready."
Leveraging Public Cloud for Dev/Test
As development teams become more agile, IT and DevOps must be more responsive to the increased pace and changing business needs of their organization. Many IS organizations are looking to the public cloud for its scalability and flexible consumption model which can help them avoid costly overprovisioning of their data centers, and to adapt more quickly to the changing needs of a company. With support for cloud dev/test, Velostrata 2.0 uniquely helps organizations build and scale on-premises development and testing environments to the cloud. Typically, with testing environments, it is possible to run tests in parallel and therefore improve time to market for product development. Users can now further benefit from a cloud-based solution, allowing them to spin as many parallel environments as needed, without investing in additional on-premises infrastructure. Velostrata capabilities for dev/test include:
- Instantly provision, move or clone any workload at any scale: Run any workload in the cloud in minutes, without any planning or preparation, such as image modification or replication. Velostrata's intelligent streaming engine remotely boots the workload natively in the cloud, then streams and caches only the storage the workload requires.
- Leverage the Velostrata Runbook Automation toolset to easily run, clone and move complex test pod definitions with multiple application components. Integrate with automation scripts, 3rd party orchestration tools and job schedulers to extend DevOps efficiency to cloud.
- Clone an entire application setup to the cloud: Create a thin copy for a current live application, move it to public cloud within minutes, regardless of dataset size and with no interference to the production application on-premises
- Clone an entire application setup to the cloud, while retaining the same network configuration: Run multiple, identical copies of an environment in the cloud.
"Enterprises would like to take advantage of cloud agility, but migrating data-rich applications to the cloud can more often than not be complex, slow and carry a high risk of failure," said Ady Degany, co-founder and chief product officer at Velostrata. "Our goal is to simplify public cloud adoption. With Velostrata 2.0, we've included smart migration and dev/test, therefore enabling companies to quickly move workloads to AWS or Azure, while keeping storage on-premises."

A free trial of Velostrata 2.0 is now available at http://velostrata.com/request-eval/. For more information on the company and product, please visit www.velostrata.com.

LONDON � I come to London for the signage (�Danger: Men working overhead�), and to devour a cup of Mr. Whippy lemon ice and a package of chocolate HobNobs, and to enjoy the roomy taxicabs and the cabbies� no-hesitation style of driving, their bold U-turns, and to observe the gilded gates and the Mounted Guards and all the storybook tinges of aristocracy so dear to us Americans.
And terrific theater. Saw a beautiful performance by puppets � life-sized horses in �War Horse� at the National Theatre � light shells of horses with visible frames and legs of two puppeteers inside, another manipulating the head, and yet the sight of the beasts grazing, nuzzling, shying, rearing up was the most believable thing I�ve seen onstage in a long time.
And then at the vaudeville-burlesque �La Clique,� saw a fine contortionist work his body through the head of a tennis racket and an American comedienne drop her drawers, pull a kazoo out of her bosom and stick it up her dress into a very private place and proceed to give us (we thought, we assumed, we dared to hope) a rendition of �America� from her nether regions and, a moment later, put another kazoo in her mouth and play a very accomplished orifice duet, all with the innocence of a 4-Her performing at the county fair. Wowza.
But the best show in town is the Daily Telegraph�s campaign to bring down Gordon Brown�s Labor government by exposing the squishy underbelly of corruption in Parliament that Labor has tolerated for years. Day after day for almost two weeks, the paper has pounded away with details of petty grifting in high places and large unflattering photographs of members of Parliament.
And now, as I write, the speaker of the House of Commons, Michael Martin, has stepped down, the first to do so in more than 300 years, knocked off his horse by a crusading newspaper.
The story is fairly simple: Parliament members from districts outside London can be compensated for expenses deemed �wholly, exclusively and necessarily incurred to enable you to stay overnight away from your main home,� and a large number of members have exploited this provision to pad their modest salaries (slightly more than a hundred grand per annum) in ways that Martin tried to keep secret.
But some minion in a parliamentary office took home a computer disk and sold it to the Telegraph for a tidy sum and out spilled the garbage � 2,000 pounds for a 37-inch high-def plasma TV set; 1,625 pounds for a garden table, chairs and parasol; 7,000 pounds for a new kitchen; 519.31 pounds for a week at the Bide-A-Wee holiday cottage; 100 pounds to remove moles from a garden; 725 pounds for a cherrywood mirror; 600 pounds for the removal of wisteria; 2,200 pounds for the cleaning of a moat; 2,000 pounds to repair a pipe under a tennis court � on and on it went, day after day, a tide of savory details.
There were several instances of members being compensated for interest on mortgages that turned out not to exist, a criminal matter. But most of the stuff was rather small, if fascinating, potatoes. A wealthy member who owns seven homes in Britain and part of one in France charged the taxpayers 119 pounds for a trouser press. This is the sort of thing that makes a constituent grab his pint of bitters and slam his fist on the table.
And now, having seen the speaker walk the plank, the honorables must go out to their districts in Sodden Wickham and Twitching Bridgewater to explain why taxpayers paid for the cleaning of a moat. A dreadful fate, having to kneel down and crawl in public as the mob flings dead fish at you.
The other part of the story is that Telegraph sales are up by 10 percent, which is one answer to the question all newspapers are asking these days. If you print stuff that people are avid to read, they will buy your paper, and there is nothing people love more than to savor the embarrassment of the high and mighty. Forget about Iran � if Barack Obama is charging us for his trouser press, we want to know.
Garrison Keillor is an author and host of public radio�s �A Prairie Home Companion.�

How Much Does Catholic School Cost?
Catholic schools are private schools that are part of the Catholic Church. As of 2013, the church operates the largest non-government related schools system. Besides the typical curriculum taught in the public sector, the Catholic schools put an emphasis on religion as well. The cost of tuition for schooling is going to greatly vary depending on the church, the location, and other factors.

For an elementary school, the average tuition can range anywhere from $3,200 to $8,000 per pupil per year.
For a secondary education, which includes both middle school and high school, the tuition will be about $5,100 to $16,500 per year.
Christ the King Catholic School in Mesa, Arizona, for instance, charges $4,834 per student and sibling discounts are available.
We looked at a handful of schools across the United States and were able to come up with the averages by either contacting the school or visiting their website. We left out the names of the school and instead added where the school was located.

Catholic school overview
Catholic schools put an emphasis on religion in their curriculum. While some require you do not have to be Catholic to attend the school, the high majority of the students are. For example, one school online states you must be baptized as a Catholic, be registered in the parish and attend the church regularly in order for your child to qualify.
Classroom sizes will range from 20 to 30 students and operate as any other public or private school. The school is privately funded through donations and tuition fees.
What are the extra costs?
Registration fees will apply to those students who are going new to the school and returning families may have to pay smaller registration fees as well. These starter fees can range anywhere from $50 to $200. This application fee is going to be non-refundable and keep in mind that all students don't get accepted.
Books and other supplies may be required, depending on the classrooms and labs. Unlike the public sector that is funded by tax dollars, many classrooms rely on the students to provide the material. This is not always the case as it can vary from school to school.
School uniforms are mandatory in most Catholic Schools and will be an additional expense to consider. See: "How much do school uniforms cost?"
If you are going to do extracurricular activities such as sports or clubs, most will have a participation fee. This could be anywhere from $50 to $200 per sport.
Some schools implement a supply fee to help stock the classrooms with the necessary supplies and textbooks. Schools may either add this to the overall tuition or may charge it separately.
Tips to know
Most schools will ask parents to volunteer at least 10 to 30 hours per semester.
Close to 30 percent of Catholic schools have waiting lists, so it's important to register as early as possible or ask ahead of time to see if a waiting list is active.
How can I save money?
Consider talking with an admissions officer about financial aid. Many schools offer financial aid to help those families that have a harder time affording the tuition.
On top of financial aid, consider looking for scholarships that are available for these types of schools. For example, 12 states offer more than 18 different voucher/scholarship programs. 11 states offer tax credit scholarships and/or some sort of tax deduction.
Compare at least two schools in the area to see what they have to offer. Most schools are going to greatly vary with their staff, the building, classes offered, and other things. If the tuition is cheaper, you may get what you pay for.
Some schools may offer discounts to those that have more than one child attending or for those who are already attending the church itself. This is also known as a multi-child discount and on average, it can save upwards of 30% on each student.
Members of the local Catholic Church may be able to get discounted tuition. Check with your church to see what the rules are when registering.

Here Are 10 Shops Where You Can Score Free Donuts on National Donut Day
Tomorrow might very well be the best day of the year. No, it's not Christmas or Valentine's Day. It's not New Year's or the first day of summer. So what makes it so special? Tomorrow, June 3rd, is National Donut Day! And to celebrate, here is an epic list of where you can score a free treat no matter where you are across the country. From Krispy Kreme to Cumberland Farms, here are 10 donut shops ready to celebrate with a free treat.
Krispy Kreme
Americans and Canadians alike can head to Krispy Kreme for a free donut of your choice with no other purchase necessary. Sweet!
Honey Dew Donuts
Honey Dew Donuts are giving customers one free (Up)Beat Cancer Donut ("a chocolate-frosted variety decorated with red and blue sprinkles, the colors that symbolize the Joe Andruzzi Foundation's (Up)Beat Cancer philosophy") with the purchase of any medium drink, but not all locations are participating, so you might want to check with your local shop first before heading over.
7. Duck Donuts: East Coast donut peddlers, Duck Donuts, are giving away free sugar donuts all day with no purchase necessary.
8. Stan's Donuts: You can grab yourself a free glazed donut with the purchase of a drink or gelato from open to close at Chicago's Stan's Donuts.
9. Entenmann's: Entenmann's is doing things a little differently by holding a sweepstakes contest, where the lucky winner will receive free donuts for an entire year (along with other prizes). Why celebrate just one day of donuts when you can enjoy 'em all year long?
10. Randy's Donuts: LA's Randy's Donuts may be just as famous for their cameos in movies like Mars Attacks and Iron Man 2 as they are for their tasty treats, but tomorrow they'll be all about offering free donut holes from 6am until noon.
Where will you be grabbing a free treat for National Donut Day? Tweet us @BritandCo!

The picture to the left shows Eastgate from the Bailgate junction. Even though this line of Eastgate would go through the Roman gate from which it gets its name, the road would not have been trodden by a Roman citizen of 1,900 years ago.
The present road runs east-north-east from Bailgate to the the site of the Roman east gate. The junction in Roman times would be somewhere north of Gordon Road and would run directly east to the gate. The road heading west from the junction is now beneath Lincoln Castle, the west gate of the Roman settlement is somewhere below the Castle's present day west gate. The position of the road was probably moved during the medieval period to enable easier access to the east gate of Lincoln castle.
The first building on the right of Eastgate is The White Hart Hotel, a former coaching inn dating from the 14th century. Further down on the left is an Indian restaurant, this was once was The Black Horse Inn, an inn had been on this site for at least 200 years. There was once an inn on Eastgate called the Black Harriden, maybe it was on this site.
Across the road, in front of the Cathedral, there is a stone wall which was once a row of buildings. To read more about the wall, and the Black Horse Inn, please read my blogpost The Legend of the Head in the Wall.
In the grounds of the Lincoln Hotel is the base of the north side of the Roman east gate. The Lincoln Hotel was built in the early 1960s, previously the Eastgate Hotel, and attached to the former Eastgate House, which was built for Alfred Shuttleworth, son of one of the founders of Clayton, Shuttleworth & Co, in the 1890s.
Across the road from Eastgate House once stood the Dolphin Inn and other buildings. Alfred bought all the buildings and had them demolished because they spoilt his view of the Cathedral; he did a great service to the City of Lincoln by doing this.
On the corner of Eastgate and Priorygate stands "The Rest". The Rest is a late 17th century building which was renovated by Alfred Shuttleworth in 1899 with sham timber cladding. At one time it was available for use by people who had ascended Lindum Road and needed a rest.
St Peter in Eastgate church is on the left side of Eastgate. In common with many churches in Lincoln, St Peter's was badly damaged during the Civil War. The church was demolished in 1776, a new church was built in 1781 but was inadequate for the growing population of the 19th century. A new church was designed by Sir Arthur
Blomfield and completed in 1870. In 1914 the south aisle, west porch and the choir vestry were added due to the generosity of Alfred Shuttleworth. At the same time, the Nave ceiling was enclosed as a 'barrel roof', the Rood Screen erected and St. Margaret's Chapel, dedicated.
At the Langworthgate and Greetwellgate fork, there was once a well, the Wain Well, which, on 11th August 1498, Joanna Burton fell in. The well was about 66 feet deep plus 6 feet of water so her survival of the fall seemed doubtful, "but according to sworn testimony of nine women", she was in the well for an hour and she was carried from the well in the arms of the Virgin Mary. It seems strange to me that this wasn't seen as a miracle after all England was still a Roman Catholic country at that time

4 Benefits of Using Reference Architecture in Big Data Analyticsby PCQ Bureau December 8, 2015 0 comments
– Siddhesh Nayak, Director Enterprise Business Group, Lenovo India
Big data projects are not all alike. What works for one company, may not work for another. This is where the role of reference architecture solutions for big data analytics comes in.
Reference architecture is a combination of models in various architecture domains. They provide the technical blueprints to simplify complex solutions. A reference architecture therefore brings the much needed value of synergy amongst each of the solution building blocks, with the flexibility needed to meet the user's requirements.
Companies therefore need to find the right combination of building blocks to fit their needs. They include hardware, software and services along with a standardized blueprint that enables companies to quickly deploy cost-effective remedies to analyze data. The solutions are built around a combination of servers and networking equipment so as to enable users to deploy the Big Data solutions quickly.
With reference architecture solutions, companies can address requirements to ensure faster and lower risk implementations and take on a holistic approach.
The four benefits of deploying reference architecture solution are:
Ease of integration: Deployment using a reference architecture helps ensure the new solution works with what companies already have in place and are likely to add later, such as data warehouse, stream compute engines, internal and external storage devices and more.
Flexibility and simplicity: A reference architecture helps strike a cost-effective balance between requirements of the solution and time-to-value, offering flexibility for enterprises to adapt as their big data requirements evolve.
Faster deployment: Reference architecture specifying pre-integrated components can also include an integrated, factory-built and factory-tested cluster solution that companies can roll into their data center and put to work right away. Add to this an optimized software stack that relies on open source code, and users can get the total solution up and running faster with much less trial and error.
Quicker access: Every business is looking for fast time-to value. There is no letup in data volumes, economic pressures or competitive demands. The accelerators and pre-built analytics tools for developers and business users incorporated in the reference architecture mean solutions are working harder sooner.

I recently went to the wrong due to cramping and a fishy smell the doctor took a urine sample and said he seen traces of trich so I was furious and heart broken they gave me a shot in my but and antibiotics and said that I will hear back in 24-48 hours if it really tested positive for trich ( which by the way made no sense) days have past and I was worried I called my obgyn to get the results and my Ob said my test came back negative and I that I only had bvJanuary 6, 2017 - 6:40pm
My boyfriend and I have been seeing eachother for 3 months. Recently I noticed a fishy smell coming from my vagina. I went to see the doctor who told me I probably had Trichomoniasis. She gave me Flagil. My boyfriend is freaking out because he thinks I gave it to him...even though he hasn't been tested. I know I have not been with anyone but him for the past 3 months and he swears the same. We only see eachother once a week or so because we live a distance from eachother. Is it possible that he could have gotten it from his last girlfriend and passed it along to me? Or is it possible that I have BV (bacterial vaginosis) and not Trichomoniasis, since no test was ever performed? Now if he goes to the doctor and has a test and it shows negative, does that mean I gave it to him? Please help! This is ruining our relationship!

Did anyone ever answer your question? If not I am here to say yes. They both have the same signs and symptoms and Flagyl is prescribed for both. There is no way for the MD to know for sure which one it is without a test. I recommend not having sex until it is cleared up because you will just pass it back and forth to each other. Im a nursing student and have in front of me several power points, notecards and books spread out preparing for my exam on this subject. But what do I know. Jk. Hope everything worked out.March 2, 2015 - 5:28pm
They don't use flagyl to treat both, the symptoms are very similar but treatment is not the same, without them doing a test there really is no way to know which you have. and yes it is possible he got it from his last girlfriend and had no symptoms so didn't even know he had it.May 1, 2015 - 7:45pm
Treatment is the same...February 26, 2017 - 4:21pm
Actually, metronidazole (flagyl) can be used to treat both -- and at the same dosage (recommended 2 gm orally in a one-time dose), which has about a 93% cure rate. There are other medications (e.g. clindamycin) that can be used for treatment, but Flagyl is in fact a standard treatment for both conditions.May 25, 2016 - 5:55pm
Miconazole, or any of the "-zole" preps found over the counter at your target/walmart/safeway, are for YEAST INFECTION. Trichomonas is a bacterial infection, tho they both share the characteristic of your body being invaded by an overgrowth of a living cell. BTW, you can get BV without having a sexual partner.
FLAGYL is a Rx only medicine. If this is your first vaginal infection (severe itching, main symptom), you MUST have an exam by doctor and you MUST have a swab done (lab test, to determine what you you are treating). Most likely it is a yeast infection, but if you treat yourself with miconizole and it doesn't clear up, go to Dr and tell her that. She will then do a slide of the cells and will be able to tell you if it is bacterial vaginosis. It's a matter of looking at a slide under the microscope. You don't have a waiting period to see if yeast cells will grow.
DO NOT PLAY AROUND WITH THIS, AS IT COULD LEAD TO INFERTILITY! AND you should NEVER accept "probably" in a medical diagnosis. Seriously? Report that doctor, or at least get a different one.
Men CAN carry Trich and BV. YES. Even without symptoms.You BOTH must take the meds. or you will pass it back and forth. Also, expect yucky discharge. White, brown, yellow green whatever. Its gross and its gonna happen. Understand that the discharge is your body and the med killing off the bacteria and fungus. As well, it may look like yeast infection, because its the yeast getting killed off and exiting.
If it is itchy still a few days after treatment, it may be a yeast infection CAUSED by the antibiotic. This happens because the antibiotic kills your good vaginal flora AND bad vaginal flora. So go get monistat or use natural methods of rinses. Also use PROBIOTICS. When you are done with the antibiotic you BOTH must start Probiotics to help your bodies replenish the good healthy bacteria your vagina needs to stay healthy - as well as your gut to digest food. There are probiotics geared especially for the vagina. You might get constipated if your good bacteria are too low. That means your food is probably not being digested well too. So probiotics are the way to go.
Anyway Ive been on both sides of this as a patient and a caregiver, I know the pain this infection causes. Good luck!

I can't locate the commet now but someone said I think that metronidazole was and antifungal. Um, no. It's an antibiotic for anaerobic bacteria used in the treatment of trichonomas or bacterial vaginosis so it can kill bacteria or certain protozoa. Sadly, this person who commented claims to be a nurse. I sure hope not. She is confusing this with miconazole which is strictly for yeast (fungal) infection. Both of these are extremely common so I give no excuses for misinformation from medical professionals!February 18, 2013 - 8:48am

I agree!February 4, 2016 - 6:53am
I am 38 years old, single by choice, and I'd like to offer some words of wisdom that I have realized to be true after many years, both in relation to this post and relating to one another.
There's two things...The first is a gift I have found all men have. We've all heard "men are jerks," etc., which is "advice" that really doesn't do us any good, especially if they're "nice." What I have found to me true across the board is MEN ARE MANIPULATIVE and are very much gifted in the art of manipulation. It is trickery and they are so good, even if you are on your toes and waiting for it, they, still, will slip something right past you and, hopefully, these words can at least help you to catch it after the fact by getting you to remember their game when, after some time has passed, you find yourself replaying the situation (whatever it may be) in your head. Things that may help cue you in >> EVERYTIME you find yourself apologizing, STOP AND THINK FOR A SECOND, review all the details of the situation in your head, be brutally honest with yourself as to EXACTLY THE FACTS OF SITUATION, then get ready to dig deep and grow some balls (so to speak) because YOU WILL HAVE SOME TABLES THAT NEED TO BE TURNED BACK AROUND 99% OF THE TIME!!! And I mean 99% of the time REALISTICALLY! EVERYTIME you get in a fight and find yourself wondering how it could have happened, EVERYTIME you find yourself defending yourself, and everytime you find yourself saying, "I'm sorry, I thought..." - NO, NO, NO! You're not sorry! What you "thought" is exactly right AND YOU NEED TO STICK TO YOUR GUNS HERE because getting you to apologize is him PLAYING YOU and you have to be ready to PLAY RIGHT BACK and, when you do, the fight will end and he will be left holding the ball with nothing to say. At this point, you have beaten him at a game he never loses, so expect a long face, don't expect an apology (you've already bruised his ego), just walk away, chalk up a "WIN" for you, and (very important), after about 10 minutes or so, go back to him AND ACT LIKE ABSOLUTELY NOTHING EVER HAPPENED, do not ever bring it up again because, at this point, you won, it's over, and he won't want to talk about it again anyway because why would he? He was never right to begin with accusing you! Trust me, you'll see! You've got to be on your toes though, I'm telling you. Even if they are a bad liar, they are masters at manipulating you. Haven't you always wondered WHY you find yourself ALWAYS apologizing to him for something?...when YOU KNOW you didn't do anything wrong? It's because YOU DIDN'T DO ANYTHING WRONG...except fall victim to his game. Funny thing is, most times they don't even know they're playing a game. Remember I said they ALL do it and they're all SO GOOD? They're so good because they really believe the bs that's coming out of their mouths. Likely, they've been unknowingly practicing their craft their whole lives on their doting mothers who were always so quick to apologize, as not to ruffle their son's little feathers! So, yes, you will ruffle their feathers a bit, so be extra-nice when you go back to them...maybe say, "I'll be right back, going to the (corner) store (gas station, something very close)," and if they need to know what for and ask, just say "feminine hygenine" (that always shuts them up), but they probably won't have much, if anything, to say to you at this point (because they're sore losers...little babies)! Now, go to the store, for once in your life BE QUICK (this is the one time you should not dilly-dally), grab 2 Slurpies, 2 ice cream bars - nothing messy though and make sure it's two of something the same, one for each of you to "share" (the experience), but without actually "sharing" it (meaning don't get one Slurpie to share - that's too cheesy and won't fly with him). These little things are important. You have to look at the message you're sending. What's helpful is to imagine him telling his friend about it and what he would say, "...and she went to the store and came back with 1 Slurpie and 2 straws and i was like hell no, get away from me." = ALL BAD. OR, "...and she went to the store and came back with all kinds of junk food and i was like what the hell are you doing?" = ALL BAD. OR, "...she went to the store and came back with a couple Slurpies and we kicked it and watched a movie." = GOOD JOB. So, you get what I'm saying now, I'm guessing. But, in relation to the post here, this, to me, is one example of how a man will manipulate you. Think about it...Can you EVER IN A MILLION YEARS hear a man saying, "Oh, baby, sorry to hear you have an STD, ya know, it's probably from me, I'm sorry." LOL! YA RIGHT!!! NEVER gonna happen! Plan on them being insensitive about it, you're feelings getting hurt, AND, on top of all that, count on the blame being put on you! THAT is how it will go. And, if you've only been seeing them for a short time or, as above, about once a week because they live far away, don't be surprised if 9 out of 10 times, they'll duck out of the relationship, leaving the blame with you and never calling you again. Maybe the relationship will end, because that's what becomes of casual relationships anyway, so expect that. But it doesn't have to end with you "giving him" an STD! Give him a piece of your mind (some reality) instead. In this case, I would've asked him (condesendingly), "What? You aren't getting any other p****, than from me?? Once a week??" Then expect some truth, with a lie: "Well, there was this one girl I was seeing a few weeks ago, but we always used a condom and only did it a few times." Now, just laugh and say, "Hunny, listen. That may work with some girls, but I was not born yesterday and I don't buy that for one second! But, nice try! Let's be real. This is as much as my fault as it is yours because we should've been using a condom, period, end of story, so we live and learn." And leave it at that. Right where it should be. Don't accept the blame, not for a second! I'm guessing your chances for another phone call have just increased, too.
The other thing I want to mention is this. Don't be a stupid girl and be manipulated by him into not using a condom. And definitely don't talk a man out of using one. Of course, there is a "right" time to which you may opt not to use a condom, which is when you truly know in your heart it is the right time, no need to elaborate. If a man readily puts a condom on, this is an awesome, great thing. If I liked this guy, I would that much more look forward to a relationship with him in the future when condoms may not be involved because he is showing responsibility in keeping himself clean and protecting himself. He is using his head and opting for being smart over getting full-sensation on his penis. This is a good man...at least, in this respect but it is indicative of other good things, as well. The thing about using/not using condoms you need to keep in mind is this. For women, condoms are your friend. You can count on your vagina tasing/smelling much, much nicer than someone who doesn't use them. Keep that in your aresenal and use it as often as possible because it's the truth. When you don't use a condom and bodily fluids are exchanged like they are, you're messin up your stuff. When their stuff gets in you, at the least, your ph level is affected. This causes changes, and changes are not good. Your body, naturally, keeps a balance of what's there (i.e. yeast and bacteria) and you should take pride in keeping it that way and in being able to say, with confidence, that it is "right." Because when it is "right," you should feel confident because you are fresh and clean and he will reward you for being so and want you back again. If you make it a habit to not use condoms, plan on your vagina being out of wack and not liking what comes out of it (pun intended!). Don't use a condom several times and, according to recent statistics, consider yourself at high-risk for have contracted one of the hundreds of strains of HPV and, in the future, accounting for 3/4 of the cases of ovarian cancer. So, learn to appreciate condoms and all the good they do you. And when a man tries to go about it without one, and they will, ask him (condesendingly, of course), "What? Where the hell is your condom? Get that thing away from me!" When you hear, "I don't like condoms...I can't feel you good." Say, "And when was the last time you went condom shopping? Ten years ago??" Explain to him they are a lot of really good condoms out now-a-days and he needs to get clued in. Suggest a trip to the sex store because they always have the best lubes and condoms (all true) and this is a great way to score yourself a new toy to take home with you later! (note: Don't get manipulated into leaving the toy there with him because "he bought it." Obviously, he wants it to use on his other girlfriends but don't even acknowledge that -- Make some joke about him wanting to use on himself (up his ***) and say as bratty as a brat can be, "I don't think so, it's mine." Trust me, he won't mess you about it anymore. But always carry your own condoms, belittle men that don't, and if neither of you have one, give him a hand job so he doesn't cry, then flip your hair in his face, give him a snobby, "Tssss...," and say you gotta get going, as in, to go see your other boyfriend who will do you right and let that one call you when he finds a rubber!
In sum, you run the show. Don't listen to their excuses, expect them. If you're defending yourself, you've bought into his b.s. so stop and think - say, "Nice try," and inform him of the REAL details that took place and exactly WHY you said what you said or did what you did...It's because it made perfect sense and tell him why, which he already knows perfectly well all of it, so just remind him that YOU ARE RIGHT to say what you said or did what you did and he needs to not try that b.s. with you. Just remember the facts, the reality of the situation, call him on being a manipulative S.O.B. and give him the run-down of the reality of the situation, end of story! After a few wins for you, he'll catch on real quick that you are paying attention and you will be callin him on his b.s. and guess what?...HE WILL AVOID AN ARGUEMENT WITH YOU FOR FEAR OF LOSING, WHICH HE KNOWS HE WILL, AND YOUR ARGUEMENTS WILL BECOME SLIM TO NONE...BECAUSE YOU ARE RIGHT! YOU DON'T DO ANYTHING WRONG!! IT IS ALL HIM! HE DOES START ALL THE FIGHTS! YOU'RE RIGHT! YOU'RE RIGHT!! YOU'RE RIGHT!!! It's more than possible, it's fact.
Bonus tip: The things you wonder about, like, "Is he cheating?" If you "wonder" something like that, the answer is "YES." Quit lying to yourself! Do you not know when you have 90%...when you have 50%...when you have 15%?....Certainly, you know when you have 100% and when you have 10%, right?! Listen to yourself. When you wonder, "Is that the truth?" NO!! ITS NOT!!! Because when you hear the truth, it makes sense, it sounds right and it feels right and it does not make you wonder - ANYTHING! Call him on his bullshit. You don't need to start an arguement. Just let him know that you know that what he's saying is bullshit. Just say, "Bullshit," and walk away. When he doesn't come after you and doesn't say anything, that's confirmation YOU ARE RIGHT. Not that you needed confirmation because you know b.s. when you hear it, same as you know truth when you hear it. YOU KNOW. YOU ARE RIGHT. DO NOT LET HIM MAKE YOU THINK OTHERWISE. NOW, BE READY FOR IT.... Good luck now! -Kate P.S. I left my email so I will get your comments if you reply. I would be happy to hear how this has helped you.December 15, 2012 - 5:35pm
