A stock market delivered from the brink of depression to record highs in four quick years can be a bundle of insecurities. What happens if the central bank stops cosseting us, and how will it pare back its trove of Treasuries as rates rise? Lately, however, such perennial questions are pushed aside by more pressing concerns.
Last week's 1% pullback has revived fears—altogether now—that the Federal Reserve's monetary medicine is losing its oomph. The Fed's still printing gobs of money, but U.S. manufacturing and services are expanding at a slower rate, and new jobs are being created at the sleepiest pace since June. The horrors!
That wasn't our only worry. Stocks peaked in April in each of the past three years before correcting 10% to 19%, so the "sell in May and go away" brigade is already fretting that April is the new May. Yet with stocks up 23% since June, money managers can't afford to fall too far behind surging indexes. Concerns also are mounting that corporate profits aren't growing fast enough. So buyers piled into sectors with more-stable revenues like health care, consumer staples, and utilities, and these have wrested market leadership from the energy and industrial stocks that propelled the rally in January.
Just how crowded have defensive stocks become? The average consumer-staple stock is up over 14% this year, and only two of them— Monster Beverage mnst -0.566713892824402% Monster Beverage Corp. U.S.: Nasdaq USD119.31 -0.68 -0.566713892824402% /Date(1422050400161-0600)/ Volume (Delayed 15m) : 864440 AFTER HOURS USD119.31 % Volume (Delayed 15m) : 5270 P/E Ratio 45.88846153846154 Market Cap 20000889428.9844 Dividend Yield N/A Rev. per Employee 1192320 More quote details and news » (ticker: MNST), which makes sugary caffeinated energy drinks that Americans now deem a staple, and Whole Foods Market wfm 0.8247227225329415% Whole Foods Market Inc.

The sector now fetches 19.5 times what these companies earned over the past year, its fattest valuation since this bull run began.
Then there're fears the global economy isn't up to snuff. Oil and copper are plumbing 2013 lows, and investors are scampering to markets where weak growth has central banks pledging their staunchest support. Japan, relatively new to quantitative easing, has jumped 55% since June, and too many money managers are hailing the U.S. as the best house in a crumbling world order.
Still, stocks haven't had as much as a 4% blip since November, and concerns and corrections keep markets from overheating. Robert Pavlik, chief market strategist at Banyan Partners, thinks the U.S. rally has lately been boosted by the ruckus in Cyprus, which persuaded European investors to steer deposits into U.S. stocks. But he thinks the market is due for a pause before bargain hunters eventually prevail.
Already, the lunge at safety has driven the yield on 10-year Treasuries from 2.06% down to 1.70% in less than a month. BofA Merrill Lynch rates strategist Priya Misra advises selling Treasuries when the yield shrinks below 1.75%, since a strengthening labor, housing, and stock market will help offset fiscal austerity.
In each of the past four years, the first quarter's laggard sectors have outperformed in the second. Of course, that all happened as defensive stocks thrived during the market's spring corrections. Can the same now happen with lagging cyclical stocks? The March jobs report didn't help, but data for January and February were revised upward, and aggregate hours worked rose. The housing market's spring selling season has also been delayed by late-winter storms in the Midwest. Cyclical stocks began doubting before the broad market did, and moderating expectations can only help their cause.
REFINER STOCKS HAVE DOUBLED since June, and those looking to take profits had their pick of reasons. The government wants to cut sulfur content in gasoline by 2017, which could cost refiners hundreds of millions. Gasoline prices track Brent crude oil produced abroad, and the hefty premiums these command to the glut of cheap West Texas Intermediate crude produced here has helped U.S. refiners with access to cheaper raw materials. But as Brent crude slipped recently, the Brent-WTI spread has shrunk from $22 a barrel to $11 over the past month.
Last week's 10% refiner-stock correction can worsen if gas demand weakens. But refiners trade at just 7.9 times projected profits, a discount to historical valuations. "The principal drivers of refining-stock performance over the past two years—accelerated return of cash, monetization of secondary assets, and feedstock cost advantages relative to competing global refiners—remain in place," notes Cowen analyst Sam Margolin.
Historically, stricter environmental standards can reduce the supply of refined products and widen the profit spread between raw materials and finished products. Goldman Sachs analyst Arjun Murti thinks prices of midcontinent refiners—his picks include HollyFrontier hfc 2.9751062537947783% HollyFrontier Corp.

on July 28, 2014 Source: Policy Dialogue on Entrepreneurship
While female entrepreneurs continue to increase their contributions to the U.S. economy, a new report suggests that Congress can and should do more to help them start and scale new firms. 21st Century Barriers to Women's Entrepreneurship, a report released last week by the Senate Committee on Small Business and Entrepreneurship, identified three primary challenges: fair access to capital, fair access to federal contracts and business training and counseling specific to female entrepreneurs.
The report points to a lack of timely data – with the 2007 Survey of Business Owners "the last substantial government-sponsored research and widespread data collection on women's business" – that it suggests makes it difficult to analyze the situation and take definitive action that best serves female entrepreneurs.
Despite the paucity of data, the committee report says it can safely identify a number of critical action steps for Congress, including:

$150 is a lot to pay for a keyboard case. The Fabricskin, however, has a keyboard that's made to withstand getting a bit messy, and feels durable, too.
The top-of-the-line FabricSkin Keyboard Folio for iPad Air is a sturdy spill-resistant case companion that's thinner than the previous version for iPad, but it's not the best keyboard accessory we've seen.
Didn't make it to CES this year? We have a stash from the show floor that includes a solar gadget charger, an iPhone 6 case with extra lenses attached and lots of other great gear.
Expensive but solid, the FabricSkin case also has a splash-resistant keyboard.
The Wi-Fi-only version is available, but you'll have to wait if you'd rather own the LTE edition.
With four metal-framed phones under its belt, it looks like Samsung's preparing to upgrade its lineup to aluminum. That isn't exactly the case.
For a durable case with a very good keyboard that feels like it can take a beating, the FabricSkin is your bet. But it's a pricey accessory for a year-old iPad.

The Concepts x New Balance 998 features two colorways: 'C-Note' and 'Mint.' This series has since released the (sold-out) 'C-Note' color scheme and the 'Mint' colorway releases this week.
With the sneaker world always on the edge of their seats for new and innovative sneaker color schemes, Boston retailer Concepts and legendary sneaker company New Balance have come together to appeal to that need.
The first colorway 'C-Note' incorporates the colors found on the new one hundred dollar American bill. The sneaker is made up of a blend of hues patched on the uppers, heel and midsole. The second colorway 'Mint' is inspired by the United States Mint—featuring a mint-colored upper with orange accents on the tongue.
Stay tuned for the 'Mint' colorway that drops this week.

This product has been discontinued
Okay, so i was going to switch to organic makeup. which i did. but, i gave all my other makeup products away for the face except for this one. i was really looking for a makeup that didn't have parabens in it, but this one does. this worked so well that i didn't care what they put in it! i loved the packaging! this is awesome and i would definitely recommend this. i love the powder and i would definitely buy it again. it is very soft and has a luxurious silky feel, while being lightweight. by far, this is one of my favorite non organic products ever!
This is my first pressed powder.
And I love it.
I apply it with a brush and it goes on evenly and gives a matte look. Color is perfect for my skin. Will def. buy again :]

This looked nice and natural on me, but it did not really control my oil any better than normal powder. I use Wet N Wild's pressed powder now and it works way better.
Love the Dream Matte Mousse, but the pressed powder is just "ok". The very first time I tried to use it to blot some oil, it caked up and looked thick & blotchy. The Maybelline Shine Free powder gives a beautiful finish, and you can't even see it on your skin, even after repeated applications, but this stuff gets splotchy! It does work well as an initial setting over the Mousse foundation, and it does help me to stay matte longer, but I hate that I can't use it for touch-ups without being a cakey mess! Also, I HATE the stupid 2-part swivel compact! I'm hoping they will change to a traditional compact style. But do try the Dream Matte Mousse if you have combo or oily skin, it's the BEST!**UPDATE: I figured out this powder looks great when worn alone!

I generally don't like pressed powders and typically use a cream to powder foundation and nothing else. That hasn't been possible lately (discontinued my HG foundation). I was surprised I actually quite like this powder it's very soft, doesn't look chalky but still controls my oil and keeps me looking matte for a while (longer than most products) and the colour looks perfect on me (I was the lightest shade). At first I really thought the packaging was cute. Not so much anymore though, I don't like where the mirror is located it makes it difficult for me to use it while applying the powder and it gets all covered in powder left on the applicator. I would prefer the mirror be on the top of the product and the case open all the way with just the swivel base with applicator puff underneath. Ahh well, I guess you can't get everything you want. Anyway great product, controls oil, and NO BREAKOUTS will repurchase.
EDIT: I strayed from this powder thinking I could find something better, none of the powders I tried were any better than this, although I found that clarins matte powder (sorry can't remember the exact name) was very very similar except for the price. So i learned my lesson, I am sticking with maybelline.
Edit august 2010 - they have discontinued some of the colours. I am VERY pale, so pale that many companies do not make a foundation to match my skin. I tried this in the current lightest shade which is 4-5 Cream Light, I didn't not think it would work since I was 1-2 originally but it blends out very well, so I suggest you give it a try even if you think it might not work for you. Just make sure the store has a decent return policy. I am still sad that they discontinued my shade bit the difference between the 2 is really not that significant.

Liked the look of this powder but it broke me out! I don't usually break out with powders but everytime I wore this, I'd get a few small pimples scattered around. But if you can tolerate, it looked nice. I was using it after sunscreen to even my skin up and also for touchups. A little swipe took away any shine without being cakey.
I think Maybelline did a good job even compares to the department store brands. I am one of their big fan after receiving so much compliments by using their products. Anyways, I was a supporter of their superstay silky foundation, however one day, I was asked to have lunch with my bf when I have no makeups on!!! With a 15 minutes break, I decided to pick something cheap from maybelline in the drugstore. Luckily I saw this on sale, so I picked the Medium 2-2.5, rushed to my car, and used it during red lights, By the time i met my bf, Boom! I was transformed to a gorgeous lady! Actually, one thing I really like about Maybelline is the application is always easy! You don't need moisturizer, makeup base, sunscreen, foundation brush, translucent powder and you can still look wonderful with a few strokes. It's always good for me, who is a makeup dummy. Update: I bought the cream thinking it's better to my skin color, it's a whole different story, it's extremly caky, I can see blots of powder on my face after applying it. I don't like it!
Bought this yesterday on a whim... I'm NC25 /NC30 in winter and I bought this in beige.
Matches pretty well when I brush it on lightly, but I packed it on with a sponge just to see how quickly it will get powdery or cakey... and it only looked thick after the 5th thick layer so that is a plus =)
I'm not sure why people say it has mineral oil in this... on the compact it says that it's oil-free...? I will update if this breaks me out, but hopefully it won't since this controls shine WAY better than my mineral veil. The mineral veil is still good for setting my makeup though.
So far I do like this... feels light and offers a tiny bit of coverage, does not look cakey unless you really pack it on.

This is a good powder, and I rarely ever like stuff from Maybelline! I'm an NC30, so I picked out the Sand shade. It looks scary light in the pan at times, but it blends in nicely and keeps the oilies away for a reasonable amount of time (4 hours for me). Yes, there is some slight shimmer, but it's not over the top. The only reason I'm giving this a four has to do with the packaging. I love how the mirror and sponge part swivels out, but I put my own applicator sponge in there (instead of that thin one you get), and the container doesn't close all the way at times. Another thing: Be careful not to overapply, as this gets cakey very easily! It took me a while to get the hang of how much to put on my face!

Shakespeare: working magic in solitary confinement
(Read article summary)Can Shakespeare really touch the hearts of America's most hardened criminals? Professor Laura Bates says the answer is yes.
Courtesy of Indiana State University
The concept of "Shakespeare behind bars" is not new. At least since 1995 there have been programs in some US prisons encouraging inmates to study and/or perform Shakespeare. But prisoners in solitary confinement? This group – considered to be the most dangerous and hardened inmates in the entire penal system – have always been excluded from such programs.
Until Laura Bates came along. Bates, a professor at Indiana State University and author of Shakespeare Saved My Life, recently talked with Monitor books editor Marjorie Kehe about her experiences teaching Shakespeare to inmates in a "supermax" long-term solitary confinement prison unit. Here are excerpts of their conversation.
Q: What gave you the idea of teaching Shakespeare to prisoners in solitary confinement?
Initially I got the idea to do volunteer work in prison because a friend of my husband's was working in a maximum security prison. I sort of challenged the whole idea. I thought these maximum security prisoners were beyond rehabilitation. And so I started my own program [teaching college classes] at the local Chicago Cook County Jail with first-time offenders. I didn't know what "supermax" was until one of my students was sent there. Flash-forward 25 years: Here I am teaching in supermax.

World Wish Day Attracts Dreamers, Celebs & More!
Here's a personal example of how I used this with my family. I was long overdue in seeing a close relative. In my memory, this person was difficult to be with, so I assumed it was going to be an unpleasant visit. Again, I caught myself in the act and chose to believe that we loved each other. Sure enough, our time together was beautiful and when it was time to leave, I actually wanted to stay longer.
In both examples, it wasn't my will that caused the change. It was my belief, my deep faith in miracles and my knowledge that miracles can occur anytime and anyplace if we can just get willing. And that's when I realized this is the ideal use of will. We can use our will to make choices, to choose to believe and to change our mindset. There is nothing as powerful as our faith and through our personal beliefs we have the ability to deepen our faith and trust. How Justin Bieber And Other Celebs Are Making Dreams Come True

Big Unions Cooling on Obama?
Bloomberg has another unions-are-mad-at-Obama story this week and, while there is no doubt that unions are a bit miffed at the big "O," we should all be cautioned about where Big Labor will put its support in 2012. Miffed or not, and quite contrary to what Bloomberg wants you to believe, Big Labor will support Obama to the tune of tens of millions of dollars.
Still, it is interesting to see the unions whine about Obama. This president has been the biggest booster to Big Labor than any other president in history. The business punishing regulations alone that Obama has saddled upon this struggling economy makes his efforts more destructive and favorable to unions than any two past presidents combined.
Obama is using his regulatory powers to force contractors to pay unions off to get federal work even if those businesses aren't members of any union, he's sallied forth from his castle to inform businesses about where they will be allowed to build businesses, his crony capitalist efforts have put big businesses all across the country under his thumb, and he's eased as many regulations that keep unions in line as he can… and he plans to do even more.
Yet, despite all this bending over backwards for Big Labor, the unions are upset with The One. Why they are mad is instructive.
You see, the reason these anti-business, socialist-minded union thugs are mad at Obama is because he could not give them the one thing they really, really wanted. They wanted card check so bad they could taste it. They wanted that Employee Free Choice Act so that they could eliminate the secret ballot in union elections — so that they would be free to intimidate workers at will — and they wanted the government to have the power to mediate union contracts by eliminating the power of business owners and perspective union members alike from having any influence.
On that last point, unions don't mind handing over all power to arbitrate earlier to the government because they assumed they'd control the government with their millions of dollars in campaign donations to compliant Democrats in Obama's administration.
But Obama has failed to get card check passed like he promised. So, since they didn't get their one thing, Big Labor is mad at Democrats. Now they claim they will withhold their donations from Democrats running for federal offices in 2012.
Big threat, sure. But don't believe them. It's all sound and fury signifying nothing. Big Labor will support Obama and the Democrat slate regardless of how miffed they are today.
It is fun, though, to see them poking each other in the eye even if it won't ultimately mean much.

Spanish is my native language. I have always been in love with language. Ever since I was a student in my homeland Peru, I set up to study Sciences of Communication with a major in Journalism in College. As I finished the career in Peru I took classes of British English for six months before deciding to come to the United States. I enrolled in York College and immediately looked for ways to contact students to tutor. I started teaching Spanish literature to College students on Saturdays. It was a wonderful experience, I may say. My following years found me already matriculated in Hunter College as a Master Spanish literature student. I, again, was faced with the challenges of tutoring Spanish and I did. I taught Spanish to college students twice a week in the evenings right after my own session. And again, the experience was so fulfilling.
Along with with my duties as a tutor at Hunter, I decided to join Literacy Partners the rest of my evenings. I taught remedial classes for underprivileged populations. I remember one particular girl that refused to attend classes but I made her change her mind with a lot of persuasion. It felt so great!
At present, I am involved at work at the Board of Education with children of all ages. I communicate closely with parents over the phone and talk to students in my office hours. I sit with parents and school staff to discuss objectives about students' progress in school and design plans to implement.
I finished the master program at Hunter with a 3.76 gpa and proceeded to enroll at the Graduate Center for the Doctorate program. I excelled in all fields of study and completed entire coursework over the 45 credits with a 3.40 gpa. I will be receiving the degree of Doctor of Philosophy as soon as I complete a thesis.
I firmly believe that all students, adults and children, learn any language more actively when exposed to a variety of activities within the classroom that replicate the real world. Students respond to lessons more positively when the teacher supports their grammar lessons with the display of actual activities designed to involve students. In other words, if a teacher wants the student to learn the word "door" in Spanish, the teacher has to mimic a situation from the real world that will engage the student in participating in the action. I learned a long time ago that when we use the blackboard exclusively for a lesson, we are only making use of memorization to retain information; however, if we act out a situation that relates to the real world, we are not just memorizing the lesson but internalizing a series of vital functions that replicate the milestones of child development. A child learns by imitating an action and adults, as well!
Approved subjects are in bold.
In most cases, tutors gain approval in a subject by passing a proficiency exam. For some subject areas, like music and art, tutors submit written requests to demonstrate their proficiency to potential students. If a tutor is interested but not yet approved in a subject, the subject will appear in non-bold font. Tutors need to be approved in a subject prior to beginning lessons.
I have certification to teach English as a second language. I was matriculated in a reputable British School for six months in Peru several years ago. Ever since my years as a student, I have taught English and English as a Second Language (ESL)to a variety of students from all over the world. Already in college, along with my studies of Ibero-American Literature, I was tutoring English to International students and newcomers to the USA. Alongside,I would compliment my tutoring in the school with private lessons at client's homes. I am bilingual and thus, English and Spanish come easy to me. Most of my students are spanish speaking individuals who have limited command of the English language. I use the advantage of knowing Spanish to help them with some translation exercises and cultural comprehension as well. I have studied myself the English language for as many as thirty years in schools in Peru and the United States. I have studied ESL at York College for three consecutive semesters, I have studied it at YMCA for half a year,I have taken courses of ESL at the Union Headquarters of District 37 for as many as four years. I continue teaching and tutoring English at my present School, The Graduate Center. Many a few Doctorate students who major in Spanish benefit from my tutoring sessions on weekdays evenings and weekends. With all the aforesaid, I have assurance that numbers of English learners will be rewarded with my expertise on a face-to-face basis. I have developed a technique of a rapid immersion into the target language. I use context to convey meaning in every lesson. I believe that content is important in the teaching of a language and content is a powerful means in the teaching of grammar. Years of teaching individually a second language is always challenging but rewarding as well. As I said, I have spent years of exciting learning and teaching English at various Language Schools in New York. I learnt that students of English have different needs when learning a second language. As a result I teach English aiming at students who are newcomers in the United States. I understand their concerns about acquiring the necessary tools to function fully in a country where English is spoken widely and, therefore,get them totally immersed in the English language in order to use it in situations of real life. The student is made to understand that English is a means of communication in every field imaginable as it is the language of commerce, is the language of education, etc. As a result, I take teaching as an opportunity to provide students from various countries with lessons based on a specific situation where English is not spoken. My methodology recognizes that any individual has particular needs as well as general ones. I approach students by taking into consideration what his particular needs are at any given moment. I have to consider facts as what difficulties a student faces in the study of English: does his difficulties arise as a result of the degree to which his native language differs from English? Another aspect is about Spanish speaking students: how advantageous is the fact that some Spanish words share a similar spelling as English but are pronounced differently? I am a tutor who take into consideration these premises before designing a lesson: catering to the specifics needs of a particular student.
I am an experienced Spanish instructor and a native Spanish Peruvian speaker. I graduated from Private University San Martin de Porres, Lima in Sciences of Communication with a major in Journalism. I also attended a School of Education in Lima and approved coursework to teach Spanish Literature. I am, at present, Board of Education certified to teach Spanish to grades 7 through 12. I, as well, graduated from York College with a Bachelor degree in Spanish Literature; Hunter College with a Master degree in Iberian- Latin American Literatures (3.76 GPA, Magna Cum Laude) and, currently completed 45 credits Spanish PH.D coursework at The Graduate Center with a 3.40 GPA. I passed the Latin Comprehension Test and gained a Certificate of Honorable Merit Cum Laude in the National Latin Examination. I worked as a Volunteer teacher at Literacy Partners and awarded with the Certificate of Recognition National Volunteer Week. I had worked as a Substitute Teacher for all subjects, mainly Spanish at Citywide Public Schools. At present, I am involved at teaching Spanish to children of all ages and adults of various levels. I am available to help you learn Spanish. I can help you with conversational Spanish, business Spanish, grammar, reading and writing. I can provide private lessons and flexible scheduling for your convenience. I am committed to helping you succeed in speaking Spanish whether you are Russian, French or Spanish, or any other nationality.

When the cat's away, the mice will play! Or something to that effect. Donald is taking some well-deserved vacation this week, which gives Jasmine the perfect opportunity to run amok, spouting off on anything her little heart desires (within the confines of the MP3 player/headphone topic, of course). She opts to invite fellow female tech editors Bonnie Cha and Nicole Lee on the show to tear down or shore up stereotypes about gadget-conscious ladies and just generally gab about all things portable audio.

FBI Director: Benghazi Investigation Not Over
Wednesday, June 18, 2014
(Minneapolis, MN) -- Despite the capture of Abu Khattala for allegedly orchestrating the attack on the American consulate in Benghazi, the investigation is not over. That word comes from FBI Director James Comey in an appearance in Minneapolis on Tuesday. Comey would not say where Khattala is being held, other than to confirm he's in U.S. custody. The September 11, 2012 attack in Libya killed four Americans, including Ambassador Chris Stevens.

Fan Who Kid Cudi Punched Says He's Fine, Won't Press Charges
If you haven't seen the Youtube clip yet, rapper Kid Cudi punched a fan in the front row of his concert in Vancouver over the weekend.
The fan, who goes by the name of Michael Sharpe, sent in a few photos of himself to TMZ, after the punch, adding that he's just fine and doesn't plan to press charges.
According to Sharpe's explanation to TMZ, this is why it happened:
Someone behind him threw a wallet onto the stage. He says Cudi tossed it back to the crowd and Michael caught it -- but since it wasn't his, he tossed it back. Sharpe says that's when Cudi came towards him and, he says, Cudi started to punch him.
Sharpe says his friends held him back and security quickly pulled Cudi away. Sharpe told us, "I'm not upset, I'm not going to be that person. I just want to meet him and be like 'I'm the guy you punched.' I'm not going to press charges."
The kid suffered a minor laseration under the right eye, but seems to be fine.

Looking for holiday help
Hi all! I'm not sure the best place to post this. We are looking to come from America to the UK this summer. We want to rent a house. Does anyone have a recommendation for a rental company ? Thanks
Heather |
Hello Heather, Welcome to the UK Community boards, I dont have an answer for you yet, but Im sure some of our other members will be along later.
What part of the UK are you hoping to rent the house?, that might help with rental agency:goodvibes |
We are looking at either Scotland or Ireland. Any help would be great. It doesn't need to be fancy but I would like a reputable place to rent from.
Thanks |
I've not used them myself but have a look on cottages4you, they have rental houses/ cottages all over UK and Northern Europe I think!
I have used holidaylettings.co.uk , hoseasons, blakes and cottages4u are all good too.
If you have a look on the scottish tourist board website that might help . |
Posted from DISboards.com App for Android |
Hmmm I apologize. I thought Northern Ireland was part of the uk along w/ Scotland and wales. My apologies.
own country so you were right to think what you did xxx |
Posted from DISboards.com App for Android |
Keep it friendly please. |
have to say,no need for those two posts at all.i think we all knew what the OP meant.
i have also used holidaylettings.co.uk & have never had a problem,so can recommend that site. enjoy your visit tracy x |
Those posts were actually rather rude.
~ Hi OP! We use HomeAway Holiday Rentals, they have a great selection of rentals all over the UK. Hoseasons is also fantastic. They rent accommodations all over the UK in lovely resorts and I would highly recommend them. Macdonald Resorts have special apartment and lodge resorts across the UK. I have been to one in Scotland (Aviemore) and it is wonderful. The National Trust also rents out beautiful historic buildings. Do look at all of these options! Were you hoping for a house, an apartment, a lodge, a hotel room...? I would most recommend Hoseasons- they rent out apartments, lodges, houses and caravans across the UK. Many have access to a pool and are in some beautiful places. Depending on where you want to stay, they have apartments for city breaks and other accommodations for more rural breaks.

Hi all, thank you so much for helping out Heather.
Just to let you know that rude poster won't be bothering us again ;-) Hope you come back and tell us all your plans Heather :-) |
Yes, please come back heather and tell us all of your plans :)

What week are we in? You mean we only have ONE MONTH until finals? Ah yes, it's that time of the trimester again, the time when students begin to realize that the end is nearing and the studying is only beginning!
It's funny that I say that though. Not only has 7th trimester been the fastest trimester I can recall (I feel like it's still September!), but it has also been one of the most hectic trimesters yet. Fall is always a lively time of year, when the leaves are changing, football is on TV four of the seven weekdays, and school is back in full swing for students of all ages. Maybe time has flown because I've been having so much fun?! In my last blog, I wrote about all my terrific experiences at Chiro Games in Florida, and I'm worried I left part of my brain on the beach. :)
Tri 7 has been jam packed with assignments, quizzes, papers, and best of all, midterms. We just finished Week 10, and I STILL have exams this upcoming week! I will admit that this program is quite challenging at times, and it really assesses your ability to manage time efficiently. It's also our last trimester of full classes, so the end is near! In 8th trimester, we split our week by spending three days each week in the clinic working as an intern, and the remaining two days wrapping up the curriculum aspect of our degrees.
PT Modalities
As chiropractic students, we are taught about various physiotherapeutic (PT) modalities that can be used when treating patients. Things are always changing with the insurance companies, especially with the new health care reform that will be implemented over the next few years, and modalities are being reimbursed less often on many plans. Modalities represent passive care, which is starting to trail behind the active care and rehabilitation aspects of our profession. However, the various modalities still have very therapeutic and beneficial effects for both acute and chronic conditions, and just because insurance companies are changing their ways doesn't mean they aren't still valuable for patients!
This week in our PT lab, we practiced treating different electrical stimulation cases, primarily interferential current. We applied the treatment for conditions of lateral epicondylitis (pictured below), acute intervertebral disc pain, and chronic shoulder arthritis. Interferential current (IFC) is most commonly used for conditions with pain, edema, muscle spasms, or in order to re-educate and strengthen muscles. The best part is when we crank up the intensity on each other, to the point where the patient is feeling the sensory stimulation but ALSO starts to have involuntary muscle twitches! (Yes, I promise we are supervised when we do this!) Practice makes perfect!
Look out for my next blog, since all 7th tri students will be selecting clinic positions here in the next week! Have a great one!
One of the most exciting courses in 7th trimester is Advanced Diagnosis and Problem Solving, and I am definitely doing a lot of problem solving, that's for sure!
Two days a week, we are in the clinic with simulated patients, or "sim patients" as we have grown to say. We encounter a brand new patient, gain practice taking a thorough history, performing the appropriate physical exams, establishing a diagnosis or diagnoses, and reporting our findings with the patient. Nobody said becoming a doctor was easy, and this class is a representation of the challenges many students face when learning to interact with patients.
Sometimes, the patient's clinical presentation is simple, and you know exactly what steps need to be performed to establish the diagnosis. Other times, the pieces don't fit together and you find yourself researching a condition you studied a year ago, trying to ask the appropriate questions to ensure you are on the right track. This is the challenge of becoming a doctor: having the responsibility of someone's health and wellbeing, but also being able to think critically on your toes and establish a comforting relationship with that patient, all in a 30-minute period. I have a long way to go until I feel more confident during my patient encounters, but I accept the challenge!
On Friday night, Student Council hosted its Fall Tri-Mixer at a local venue that we all know fondly as Rita's. Between the dancing, the photos, and all the laughter, I hope everyone had a great night out! It's important to spend time with your peers outsidethe classroom, getting to know people for who they are and as friends. To all of the new 1st trimester students who attended, we hope you got to know some of your other classmates and enjoyed a night off from studying all that anatomy! :)
If there's anything I've realized about myself over the past year of my life, it's that I love live music! To those of you who keep up with my blog, you may have noticed a trend of country concert followed by country concert. To me, the combination of soothing guitar solos, compassionate lyrics, and a positive atmosphere of fans is a recipe for the perfect evening.
I packed my first couple weeks back with shows by Carrie Underwood, Craig Campbell, and the highly anticipated Garth Brooks 2014 world tour. Whew! Nothing could have prepared me for the energy and emotion that accompanied Garth's show up in Rosemont, Illinois, this past weekend, and the memories I made were absolutely irreplaceable.
I'm thankful that I have found such a rewarding hobby for all of the hard work I spend involved in the DC program. With any luck, I'll find time for an opera or philharmonic concert this fall concert season, and I can then continue to expand my appreciation for music of all genres.
This trimester is looking to be an exciting, yet intimidating, series of classes and assignments! Last week, we encountered our first "simulation patient" in Tri 7's Advanced Diagnosis class. These actors and actresses are such a tremendous experience for us to interact with patients of various disease states, both physically and mentally, and react appropriately to the challenging cases we will encounter in practice.
I look forward to perfecting my technique when it comes to history taking, the physical exam, diagnostic skills, and most importantly, building a relationship with the patient. No amount of knowledge can replace the necessity for a kind, understanding, and compassionate doctor, especially in today's age of "Doctor Google," when the most crucial component of a doctor-patient relationship is trust. Gaining these skills is my top priority both in this class, as well as over the next year before I am practicing on my own. I can't wait to take advantage of every opportunity to learn this tri!
Until next week, take care!
As the summer trimester rolls to an end, I've decided to reflect on the past 14 weeks to evaluate everything I've learned and the experiences I've had.
Trimester 6
Trimester 6 is a big deal, because it signifies the completion of your second year in the chiropractic program. I've walked away with the knowledge of performing a full physical exam on a patient, evaluating different types of lab work, and learning how to collect samples of my own for lab work. I learned about the protocol of performing blood, urine, and strep tests, as well as male and female sensitive exams. The jitters of "stab lab" eventually subsided and I began to appreciate the privilege that we have in our scope of practice to be able to perform phlebotomy. Holy moly, I punctured someone's skin and actually drew blood!
Between the three radiology courses I've taken, I've learned to identify and differentiate all the various types of arthritides that can occur, the various fractures commonly seen in trauma, and the red-flag signs of skeletal tumors and metastasis. We have been educated to not only perform orthopedic tests to determine what muscle or ligament is causing symptoms, but also how to identify these pathologies on imaging such as X-rays, CT and MR imaging.
Our pharmacology courses have given me the skills I need to converse with other medical professionals about various drugs and medications, in addition to educating patients about the potential side effects of the pharmaceuticals.
I learned first-hand how difficult is to develop a unique business plan, analyze the population demographics in a target area, and excel in marketing your brand and your practice to those people seeking health care.
The Bottom Line
Of the many things I have learned from my second year here in chiropractic school, the most important take away is this: WE have the opportunity to TRULY change peoples' lives through the power of chiropractic care. We listen to our patients, we relate to our patients, we have the power of physical touch and interaction with our patients. We are going to impact the health and lives of so many human beings, and THAT hope in itself is worth waking up for each day. Despite the endless assignments, group projects, quizzes, practicals, and written examinations, I know in my heart this is where I belong: earning my Doctor of Chiropractic degree at National University of Health Sciences.
I truly hope you have enjoyed reading my weekly blogs and that I've helped influence your life in some way. Please feel free to contact me with any questions or comments you may have! Until September, take care everyone! :)
We are entrepreneurs. We are go-getters. We are representatives for the field of alternative health care. We are chiropractors!
A very critical aspect of the chiropractic profession is our community presence as both a health care provider and a business owner. We believe in a natural, more holistic approach to health care, and therefore, we do not fit into the traditional western medical model. I often describe our situation as "not having a plug-in" to an established health care system, and this requires chiropractors to wear both hats: the business hat and the doctor hat. We have such a unique situation with endless potential to grow our practices and create financial well-being, but it also comes with great commitment.
In our chiropractic program here at National, significant emphasis is placed on business and marketing training. I am in a course now where we created our own hypothetical business, designed a marketing theme, and developed a calendar of both internal and external marketing strategies to promote our practice.
We titled our business "Women's Oceanside Wellness," placed in Oceanside, California, specializing in female and pediatric health care. This project required a demographic analysis of the area, various marketing tactics to reach our target population, and a handful of graphic designs to create a professional image for our practice. Our 45-minute group presentation required quite a bit of brainstorming and preparation, but we were so excited to present our hard work to the class, and our professor was pleased with our marketing presentation! This was perfect practice for opening up and marketing our own businesses some day! (View our business brochure.)
Unwinding on the Weekend
After a long week of quizzes and presentations, I celebrated the weekend by attending Billy Joel's concert at Wrigley Field on Friday night. I have my older brother, Jed, to thank for my love for the legendary Piano Man. Isn't it bizarre to think about how much music has changed over the past 50 years?! Billy Joel is such a talented, inspirational musician, and I have no doubt his music will last throughout the years.
On Saturday morning, I traveled to Cincinnati and Dayton, Ohio to attend both a baby shower and wedding for two of my close friends from Ohio State. I loved the opportunity to connect with some of my sorority sisters and friends from college, and it's so exciting to see everyone progressing with their lives!
Another busy week at NUHS has concluded, and I am eagerly preparing for finals! The end of the tri is near! :)

Where is General Du Couteau???
Senior Member
Ask him in his 'Ask thread' here instead of making a new thread.
Wait, I think the OP's intentions for starting this thread is that Talon is the one asking the questions, and we are here to provide answers. In this case, I shall try to channel my focus into a clairvoyance spell... ... Hmm. Yes, interesting. It seems that there is a vision ward hiding amidst the brush just southeast of Baron Nashor's. Sadly, General Du Couteau is nowhere to be seen.
Ask Talon
Someone is going to get stabbed. ...Brutally. Because I sure as hell know I've posted many times within the last two weeks.
Rosedrake understood what i was trying to start. sorry if it came across as posting what u have already posted ask talon. I have seen all these ask champion threads but not one where its the summoners being interogated. just trying to start something new, i hope it work in the future.
Oh. My. God. *raises palm in front of face* *smacks forehead with the power of a crashing meteorite* Basically .... it's the reverse of Ask Threads ... Ask /=/ Answer. The revelation is so painful it's not funny D:

Kill Switch Engage
Switch it up a little, some BIG NAME bands can headline the second stage, some venus don't offer mosh pit opportunities for the main stage. Also, I know everybody wants 30 small time bands, thats cool. But for crying out loud, I of all people LOVE heavy music, but if I am paying $100+ for a ticket then please add someone that can actually PLAY! Small time bands play small time venues for a reason, they just aren't that F***ing good. It should be an honor status to be allowed to play on an Ozzfest Tour. Ever wonder nobody shows up before NOON? There is nothing worth seeing untill then.
If somebody that actually has something to do with this years tour lineup reads this, PLEASE don't skimp out on the talent. These tours can either be remembered as just another LOUD Metal Super Tour, or one of the greatest shows since woodstock!

Serves 8
- 4 teaspoons olive oil
- 1/2 cup finely chopped shallots

- 1 1/4 cups canned low-salt chicken broth
- 1/2 cup whipping cream
- Ground nutmeg
Heat oil in heavy large skillet over medium-high heat. Add shallots and minced rosemary and sauté until tender, about 3 minutes. Add yams and broth to skillet and bring to boil.

Simmer uncovered until yams are very tender and liquid thickens and coats yams, about 4 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. (Can be made 1 day ahead. Transfer to microwave-safe dish. Chill until cold, then cover and keep chilled. Rewarm, covered, in microwave on medium-low heat.)

"Very tasty, so tasty that I had to stop my husband from going for a third bowl full! A simple recipe with yummy results. My husband has asked that the next time I make this to put some of the fried onions directly on top of or in with the rice as well. This is a keeper for sure. Thanks for posting. BTW - we used brown rice."
"We made this for two people tonight, following your directions, with reductions in qty for two servings.

I thought these were real plants at first and was disappointed when I got them. But now I LOVE them. I've had them for a month - they look great. They are very easy to clean and I love the base and the way the plastic plants fit down into the gravel. Plan to get some 12'' plants. Got 9 inch because I thought they would grow! But if they were real, they wouldn't have lasted long with four silver dollars - voracious plant eaters. They are happy with Romaine lettuce.

- Mushroom Rock Road. It was a pain to traverse it without a Chocobo, but it wasn't as though they had enough gil for one of those. And Cloud wasn't particularly thrilled about the journey ahead as they made it to the edge of Macalania Woods, especially since there were quite a few people milling around the south end of the road when they arrived.
"Keep your hood up," came his quiet instructions to Yuna, taking her with surprising gentleness by the arm to lead her through the clusters of people chatting away near the chocobo enclosure. For a moment, he considered 'borrowing' one of the massive birds, but they didn't need to call any unnecessary attention to themselves.
Although, come to think of it, his spiky blonde hair and glowing eyes were a dead giveaway as well, and he could only hope that word hadn't traveled as far as Mushroom Rock just yet.
Rummaging around in one of his pockets, he did manage to find some spare change...enough to wrangle a pair of dark black sunglasses from one of the merchants milling around the entrance to the road and slipping them over his eyes to cover the glow. He'd always been ashamed of the glow, anyway. It made him look like a monster, and people could always more about his past than he was comfortable with just by looking at the glow in his mako-infused eyes. He detested the kinds of looks he got because of it.
The crowds thinned out as they made their way away from the entrance to Mushroom Rock Road and further down the beaten path. Admittedly, the scenery was breath-taking on all sides, and he was glad, at least, that Yuna could enjoy looking at all of it as they passed by. He told her to stay close to him again, as they would more than likely run into fiends without a Chocobo to ride. Not to mention that certain parts of the road were unguarded by railings and had high, dangerous drop-offs.
"...Look," he murmured after a while, absently putting his arm around Yuna's shoulders to guide her to the edge and make sure her balance was secure before gesturing for her to gaze down at the fields below. "This is where they breed a lot of the wild Chocobos that end up gettin' sold all over Spira."
It was a beautiful sight - rolling hills, lush greenery, and all kinds of exotic plants...and plenty of Chocobos, of course, all of them in a variety of different colors just like the plantlife surrounding them.
"See?" Cloud murmured gently, squeezing her shoulders a little as he held onto them close to his body to make sure she didn't fall. "A lot of the military chocobos in Bevelle come from here."
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
((I probably have all the locations completely wrong. Mushroom Rock Road is probably nowhere near Macalania Woods, and Macalania is probably nowhere near Bevelle. But...whatever. It's somewhere to go))

This is a good clarifying shampoo for those who have scalp issues and those who have hard water. It should not be used by those with dry hair or maybe color treated hair. The scent is clean and not overly strong. It did not aggravate any skin conditions. It is somewhat difficult to find and has to be ordered online.
I could not get past the strange and awful scent of this product (even my husband did not like it) which was disappointing as I love their soap. If they offered unscented or a better smell I would reconsider and try this again.
One of the harshest shampoos I have ever used. It was like washing my hair with sandpaper. This shampoo completely stripped my hair and left it feeling coarse and dry.

The unexpectedly strong showing of the PP not only gave the government more internal political capital, but a strong mandate to pursue its belt-tightening economic policy, in a welcome sign for capital markets. Spain is broadly expected to officially request a bailout for its troubled economy, even if it's still trying to negotiate terms with the ultimate decider, Germany. The electoral results gave an unexpected boost to the government's policies, and could thus alter the playing field, analysts say.
The election results indicate that vastly more Spaniards back economic reforms than oppose it. But they also warned that the government must gear for a perhaps more destabilizing scenario in which the country's industrial powerhouses will push their independence aspirations.
In the Basque Country, the winning party is economically conservative, but it also is expected to now pursue a path to full sovereignty, especially with the support of the pro-independence coalition that won a close second place.
Catalonia, Spain's most important economic motor, will hold elections in November and, as in the Basque Country, the leading party in polls is also economically conservative, but has already committed itself to seek full independence.
More austerity and nationalism
The PP won 41 seats of the 75-member Galicia parliament, five more than in 2009 elections. Socialists lost seven seats and now only have 18, while a left-leaning party made the biggest gains.

Julie Lansom makes lamps with her hands. Long-time photographer and handcrafted decoration designer since 2013, Julie is a versatile artist, who swings between her camera and her design studio.
Based in Paris, Julie keeps an immoderate love for nature, which can be found in her aesthetics. The importance of colours, a passion for materials, the authenticity of her design and a hint of nostalgia are the key elements of her work.
Sputnik was the name given to the first Russian satellite sent into space in 1960s, with lines similar to those of flying saucers and UFOs. Her Sputnik lamps are inspired by the retro-futuristic spirit of those ships, coming straight out of science fiction books, and more generally the graphical aesthetics of the 60s and 70s.
They embody an artistic journey that Julie began with photography, crystallizing her sensitivity, her sense of form and colour. From the cut out, to the assembly and then the weaving, all the lamps are handmade in Paris. Each one of them is unique, a piece of art, and the result of a meticulous and passionate work.
The lamps are made of painted wood and high quality cotton or wool threads. The structure and its colours plus the colours of the weave can be modified, allowing for endless design possibilities but with a clear aesthetic that makes them distinctly 'Sputnik'.

The Pipes from the organ at Rochester Cathedral, very impressive and very pretty to look at. I tried to correct the distortion as much as possible but this was more about the detail than a record shot.
The organ dates back to an instrument built by Samuel Green in 1791 and was enlarged by WIlliam Hill in 1835. Hill made further changes in 1865 & 1870. This organ was moved in 1875 by J W Walker to a new case by Gilbert Scott which stands either side of the screen today. A new organ was built by J W Walker in 1905 using much of the original pipework and then they rebuilt this organ in 1957, electrifying the action but it was too big to maintain in a small space. Mander undertook a major rebuild in 1989 adding a new choir organ case and renewing half the pipes. This was upgraded in 2006.
Thank you for your time, as always your thoughts/comments are very welcome.

Truly Baroque decoration on what must be a wonderful instrument. Noel Mander was one of the great names in 20th-century organ-building.
Red, azure and gold make a fine colour combination that you have exploited well.
Nominating Constructive Critique
yes .... very impressive
you have caught it well

How very beautifully decorated, and beautifully capture and presented, too, Sarah

The detail and colours, the subdued richness, are glorious. There's a mellowness about them, all of this has been lovingly dusted and polished.
I like the way you have that carved wooden band exiting top right corner....
