Go to CAST/CHARACTER DESCRIPTION Go to EPISODE SYNOPSES Go to LINKS *** POINTS OF INTEREST *** In Episode 1, it is clearly stated that Chester can't eat eggs, and yet Chester is servedeggs during Episodes 1, 6, 23 and 46. In Episode 14, eggs are not mentioned, but eachof the Tates has something yellow on their plate, and Chester is seen eating the tiniestshred of something unidentifiable. In Episode 90, Chester orders eggs at a diner. *** In Episode 1, Eunice complains that her scarf is missing. In Episode 2, Jodiecomes todinner wearing the scarf, even though Jodie doesn't live in the same house with Eunice. *** In Episode 2, Billy says he is 14 years old. In Episode 42, Billy says he is 15. InEpisode 59, Billy turns 18. It therefore took him 40 episodes to age one year or less, butonly took 17 episodes for him to age another three years. In the same period of time,Wendy does not age at all. *** In Episode 10, The Godfather tells Mary that his name is "Jo Jo Smith". Consideringhis shady background and his Italian accent, this probably isn't his real name. *** Although the competition was fierce between Carol, Corinne and Mary, THESHORTEST PREGNANCY OF ALL TIME AWARD goes to Carol David. Jodie hassexwith Carol for the first and only time in Episode 24. Carol announces that she'spregnant in Episode 27. If Corinne's calculations about her own pregnancy are correct,only three weeks have passed between Episode 31 and Episode 37. (This three-weekspan over seven episodes is questionable in itself: Episodes 34 and 35 are consecutivedays because of Burt visiting Sally and waking up in her apartment the next morning. Episodes 36 and 37 are consecutive days because of Elaine's kidnapping and the arrivalof the ransom demands.) When Jodie sees Carol in Episode 41, her shirt is not tuckedin but she doesn't look at all pregnant. Three months pass between Episode 42 (whenJodie meets Alice) and Episode 49 (when Alice and Jodie celebrate their three-monthanniversary). Also in Episode 49, Mrs. David arrives with Wendy. In Episode 53, whileMrs. David is still visiting, Jodie states that Wendy is three months old. If all of theabove is correct, Carol must have given birth between Episode 41 (when she was not yetvisibly pregnant) and Episode 42 (when Jodie met Alice). It is unlikely that anysignificant time has passed between these two episodes, because Sally lies to Mary aboutBurt's affairs in Episode 41, and Mary leaves Burt for the same reason in Episode 42. FIRST RUNNER UP: Tim and Corinne's wedding night is interrupted by MotherFlotsky's death, so Tim couldn't have impregnated Corinne until at least Episode 31. Corinne announces her pregnancy in Episode 34. In Episode 37, Corinne protests thatshe should only be three weeks pregnant. Corinne gives birth in Episode 43, apparentlyabout 8 months premature. (Technically, Corinne's pregnancy should be disqualifiedbecause of the demon possession.) HONORABLE MENTION: Mary's encounters with Alien Burt took place betweenEpisode 49 and Episode 55. Mary is reported pregnant in Episode 60, and gives birthto Scotty in Episode 72. In Episode 90, Mary says that Scotty is 12 months old. Wendy,however, is not significantly older in Episode 88 than she was in Episode 53, and Wendywas born before Scotty. (Mary also might be disqualified because of the baby's possibly-alien father.) *** One of the cult members in Episodes 50 and 51 is played by Robert ("FreddyKrueger")Englund. *** Jessica and Mary's maiden name is either Gatlin (as stated by Jessica in Episode 51and Burt in Episode 58) or Gatling (as stated by Jessica in Episode 86). In the spinoffseries "Benson", Benson is employed by Jessica's cousin, whose last name is clearlyGatling. *** As shown in syndication on Comedy Central, Corinne disappears and Saunders appears in the opening credits after Episode 52, even though Corinne continued to appear in the stories until Episode 74 and Saunders did not appear until Episode 67. *** In Episode 54, Billy sees Eunice having dinner with someone other than Dutch. Atthebeginning of Episode 56, Eunice makes a snide remark about Billy's involvement withhis teacher, and Billy responds with a comment about Eunice's infidelity to Dutch. Billyand Eunice are therefore well aware of each other's romantic indiscretions. Later inEpisode 56, Eunice acts surprised on seeing Billy and Leslie together, and is alsodefensive about the identity of her own male companion. This apparent contradictionsuggests that the order of broadcast was not yet decided when these scenes were filmed. *** In Episode 60, Burt says that he knows about having babies because he already hasthree kids. Since Peter and Chuck are his only known biological children, he must becounting Bob. *** In Episode 62, Eunice asks Corinne if she needs to be quiet on account of littleTimmy. Corinne replies, "Don't worry, he sleeps like a log". In Episode 63, Dutch asks Corinneif little Timmy is asleep, and Corinne replies, "Not a chance. He needs less sleep thanI do". *** In Episode 73, Eunice mispronounces Corinne's name as "Coreen". *** In Episode 78, Danny calls Gwen by her first name, even though she has notdivulgedit to him. *** In Episode 85, we meet the Governor of Connecticut. This is clearly not the samecharacter as the Governor in the spinoff series, "Benson", who is Jessica and Mary'scousin. *** In Episode 90, George ("Norm Peterson") Wendt appears as an employee at a greasy-spoon diner.

It is safe enough to eat. I'd actually prefer it without the mint -- but it does the job without feeling greasy. It really moisturizers your lips, even if your lips are severly chapped. The company hires the handicapped and is very environmentally responsible. They support local charities and help in the community (donating products to homeless shelters). There are frequent stories in the local newspaper about their operation. If you like supporting a good company, this would be one. Was this review helpful to you? ( Report this ) 10 of 22 people found the following review helpful: Plus and minus issues with this... , December 22, 2003 Reviewer: T. Reinhardt "olivia lee" (east coast)- See all my reviews While I like some things about this product there are some negatives to consider. First, there is no sunscreen which is a big issue for me. I very much prefer lip balms with a sunscreen but for someone sensitive to that ingredient not having one would be a huge plus. Second, I like the feel of the minty-ness. It isn't something that bothers my skin but the peppermint in it could be an irritant to some people. Perhaps, it doesnt bother me because I don't use this exclusively, I'm not sure, but I can see this being an issue for some people with sensitive skin. The texture is a mixed-bag for me. While it feels nice once it's on, I find it a bit *pulling* to get it on. I think that it melts a bit at body temp so once its on, it feels good. I find a bit *stiff* in the tube. I like the tube form as lip balms in a tin are a bit messy to get on and this is easy to carry with you. I haven't had any issues with the cap coming off in pocket or purse. It also doesn't look *feminine* in the tube or have a sweet flowery scent so my son will use it. Was this review helpful to you?

Ouch! , January 26, 2006 Reviewer: Shannon Andrae (WV, USA)- See all my reviews I love the Lip Balm, but the Mind Body source wants $9.94 for shipping 5 small tubes of Lip Balm that cost .49 cents each? OUCH! I don't think so!! Was this review helpful to you? ( Report this ) 2 of 2 people found the following review helpful: Terrific Product, Very Invigorating , January 20, 2006 Reviewer: J. H. Sweet - See all my reviews I have used Cherry Chapstick for as long as I can remember, and I still love it, but I will now be periodically switching off with Beeswax Lip Balm. I didn't think anything could ever make me want to add variety to my Cherry Chapstick regimen, but I was wrong. Beeswax Lip Balm is minty and invigorating, and it feels nice. I have always loved beeswax candles. I now love this product as well. J.H. Sweet, author of The Fairy Chronicles, and Burt's Bees Enthusiast Was this review helpful to you?

( Report this ) Not very moisturizing , January 10, 2006 Reviewer: Justine "Justine" (Pennington, NJ USA)- See all my reviews I personally am not a big fan of Burt's Bees chapstick. It feels cool and everything, but it doesn't really do a good job in moisturing my lips. I would reccomend Chapstick or Softlips, and they are both cheaper than Burt's.

A New Approach to Rural Development in Guinea In the mid 1990s, the Government of Guinea approached the World Bank with a request for assistance in developing a new national program for rural development. Although 70 percent of Guinea’s population lived in rural areas, most of the country’s economic growth remained concentrated around the city of Conakry, and residents of thousands of outlying villages were living day-to-day without basic access to education, health care, clean water and other essential social and economic infrastructure. Guinea had taken steps to address this imbalance by launching a rural road rehabilitation project. The initiative had paid thousands of rural residents cash wages for manual labor on local road improvements, but it had produced very disappointing results. Rural communities had played virtually no part in project planning and had expressed different priorities for local development. As a result, when funding for road improvements stopped, local efforts to maintain the roads ceased as well. West Africa’s rainiest climate quickly reclaimed much of what had been done. Based on this experience, Guinean officials recognized the need for a new approach to rural capacity building - a strategy capable of mobilizing sustained local investment in projects that directly addressed the real and immediate needs of rural communities. A group of Bady women meets in 1997 to rank their priorities for social infrastructure development. The Village Support Program (PACV) The World Bank was thus invited to conduct a pilot program to design an effective model for Guinea’s new Village Support Program (PACV in French), and it was charged with: (1) finding new ways to engage local communities as direct participants in development; and (2) producing a framework for a new network of decentralized, self-governing village-level institutions that could be integrated into broader district-level and national-level development planning and implementation. To create an organizational foundation for the PACV, Guinea established 303 Rural Development Communities (CRDs in French) across its four major provinces. The World Bank then invited the African Development Foundation (ADF) and three other international organizations with participatory development experience to help it implement the PACV’s pilot phase and evaluate various strategies for generating demand-driven, community-led development. ADF agreed to finance projects in the CRDs of Bady, Baguinet, and Banguigny. The pilot-year phase of the PACV program was launched in 1997 and designed to provide officials of the Government of Guinea and The World Bank with an opportunity to: (1) compare several different models for implementing participatory development methods and (2) incorporate best practices and lessons learned from each of the four pilot projects into a model for a 12-year nationwide PACV implementation program. Through their partnership with ADF and CAD, Bady residents identified support for primary education as their most important priority. Local communities paid the salary of a teacher out of their own pockets to ensure that the first school year started on time. A School for Development in Bady ADF began its funding activities under the PACV in Bady, a rural area nestled in the valley lowlands of Guinea’s Maritime province that had derived little economic benefit from its close proximity to a major bauxite processing center in the city of Fria. The Foundation financed a group of local Guinean development experts to act as the implementing team in Bady. This group began its work by organizing general village assemblies across the CRD. They invited every segment of the community to take an active role in open conversations about the PACV and discuss ways that local villages could take part in the development process. These meetings ultimately led to the formation of village-level discussion groups that were divided up according to age, gender, and other social categories. The groups agreed to debate and prioritize their most pressing development needs and then send representatives to general village assemblies that would openly debate the recommendations of the smaller groups and determine an equitable set of community development priorities. The general village assemblies then elected delegations of representatives – usually two men and two women - to present their village’s development agenda to a district-wide meeting of village representatives from the CRD of Bady. Each of the four field operators participating in the PACV pilot program followed a different project-implementation methodology. Some placed little emphasis on community engagement and quickly implemented projects that expatriate development experts had recommended based on consultations with local community leaders. Other field operators took more time to engage local communities in participatory development exercises but then assumed all of the details related to project implementation and construction. Because it focused time and effort on creating broad-based decision-making forums, the ADF-financed project in Bady took time to get moving – indeed, much more time than either the Foundation or the World Bank expected. And as the pilot phase of the PACV program reached its first review period, the Bady project was clearly lagging behind the other three pilot projects in measurable results. While the others were reporting significant progress toward implementation, Bady residents were still negotiating with one another over details on how they would invest the US $100,000 that had been allotted to the CRD for the first year of the five-year project. The approach of the Guinean development experts who implemented the Bady project stood out from the others by virtue of its focus on ensuring direct community control of the project from start to finish. They recognized that Bady’s residents were the primary stakeholders in their own development and worked to integrate them into every facet of decision-making. At one end, the ADF-financed implementing team worked with local communities to develop socially representative planning committees that could effectively debate and prioritize local development needs. And at the other end, the team trained local residents in all the essentials of project management and financial management so that they could directly control the bidding, selection and payment of contractors; organize local materials and labor to reduce project costs; provide on-the-ground oversight of construction activities; and identify successes and failures along the way. This comprehensive approach to local capacity building necessarily took time, and the slow pace of implementation in Bady began to raise concerns among the World Bank’s program managers. Dick Day, ADF’s Coordinator of Program Operations, recalls that “there was a sense of frustration that the ADF team was taking too much time in getting its pilot going. Bank officials wanted to see for themselves whether real progress was being made. But what they heard and saw at their meetings in Bady definitely changed their minds.” World Bank officials, accompanied by a local government representative, inspected the work site where the construction of Bady’s first PACV project – a single-story primary school equipped with three classrooms and an outdoor lavatory system – had just started. They were visibly impressed with the quality of the construction and even more impressed that local residents were pitching in to contribute sand, stone and labor. The World Bank visitors were surprised, however, when they learned that ADF had placed a local residents’ committee in charge of controlling and disbursing all payments to the builder. This information raised questions of accountability and the potential for malfeasance. Yet concerns over the issue were quickly put to rest when local committee members produced a financial ledger and offered a detailed cost itemization of the building contract. Each purchase on a long list of acquisitions was accompanied by a receipt. Moreover, the committee had developed a rigorous system for monitoring the builder’s use of concrete. Committee members had stored all of the concrete for the school in a locked shed and were dispensing it to the contractor in carefully portioned daily allotments. Every evening they asked the contractor to return the bags he had emptied so that they could keep a running inventory of his usage. These details left a notable impression with World Bank officials, as did the dynamics of a mid-day discussion that Bank officials held with local CRD committee members, ADF-Washington staff, and a local member of Guinea’s parliament. As World Bank staff began asking specific questions about the Bady project, the member of parliament began answering on behalf of his constituents. He praised ADF for the work it was doing in Bady and thanked the Foundation for building a new school and health clinic. After a few minutes of silence, a representative of the village committee politely interrupted the discussion to offer some important clarifications. He noted that his village was indeed grateful for ADF’s support in financing the project. But he made clear that his community - not ADF - was implementing the project and achieving its goals. His community was building the school and the clinic. His community was contributing time and labor to the project. He also noted that local families had pooled their savings to hire a temporary teacher so that their children would not have to wait for a new school year for the government to assign instructors. As Dick Day remembers, “It was a moment that helped convince the Government of Guinea and the World Bank that something really special was happening in Bady. It brought to life the power of ADF’s unique participatory development methods. When the committee members spoke up, they spoke with commitment, knowledge and authority about every last detail of the project. They made it clear that this was their project. And they were proud of what they had achieved.” A New Model for Participatory Development The meeting helped transform the Bady pilot project into a development model worth replicating, and the seven-part participatory development methodology that ADF's Guinea team had created in close partnership with the people of Bady soon became an integral feature of the PACV program across Guinea and a guide for similar World Bank-funded development initiatives in Niger and Senegal. The model that the ADF team produced through their work with Bady residents emphasizes the central importance of community participation in conceiving, designing, implementing, and evaluating local investments in rural development. The ultimate goal of the model is to provide local communities with the knowledge and skills they need to manage their own development.
