Different levels of study are available to match your interests and career goals.
Psychology is a great field for many people, and if it fits your personality, there's nothing better. Many psychologists, counselors, therapists and social workers across the country will tell you that there's nothing more satisfying than helping people in need and seeing them grow.
But the discipline of psychology is so varied that it's impossible to find a one-size-fits-all degree to cover every career path and licensure requirement. Some jobs require only a bachelor's degree, but for others a master's or doctorate is the required degree. Which degree level is right for you?
Because the different fields are licensed at the state level, every state has its own requirements. We've compiled the information you need to make an informed decision.
Of course you'll need a college degree to enter the field of psychology, but which specific degree level will help you achieve your career goals?
Is a bachelor's enough? Generally a bachelor's degree is just the first step in starting a psychology career. Will you need a master's? If you've decided that going into research or entering the field of academia as a teacher or clinical administrator is for you, is a PhD or PsyD the right advanced degree?
Click on your state for more psychology licensing details.
Counselors and therapists have different but overlapping roles.
Generally, counselors use talk therapy to focus on a client's specific problems and will discuss what steps a client needs to take to overcome them.
Therapists use psychotherapy to explore patterns and recurring feelings, and find ways to improve their clients' mental health. Therapy often requires a willingness to explore the past and its effect on the present because therapists want to resolve past issues so their clients can have more satisfying lives.
There are many different sub-fields in counseling and therapy. Below are the two of the most common ones.
Click on your state counselor and therapist licensing details.
Social workers perform many of the same tasks as psychologists, counselors and therapists, but their focus is different. Social workers tend to help people with more basic needs than counselors. They are trained in case management, and help individuals and groups (like families) overcome social disadvantages such as poverty, mental and physical illness or disability, and social injustice.
There are three different licenses for social workers: baccalaureate social worker (LBSW), master social worker (LMSW) and clinical social worker (LCSW). Depending on the level of licensure you want, you'll need the following degrees and work experience:

"Highly convenient location with great access to amenities"
Our family of 4 stayed in the apartment for a month and is absolutely thrilled about the choice. It is located practically next to the Sky Train station and there are eateries and supermarkets (T&T;) right at the doorstep. Road access to the location and parking is also convenient. It is also within easy walking distance to the sea front. Most importantly, the manager of the location is also friendly and helpful in making our stay a comfortable one. I would highy recommend this property to anyone.

Aside from the bed in the master bedroom and the living room sofa, the suite was quite comfortable. Helpful maps and info included at check-in. Convenient location and very reasonably priced. (It wasn't as big as it looked on the website though.)

"Nice apartment in Downtown Vancouver"
We decided to stay at the Keefer Suite for our four days in Vancouver and do not regret our decision to go for a vacation rental rather than a hotel.
The suite is on the sixth floor of a two-year old building in a safe and newly developed area (International Village) south of Gastown (though unfortunately separated from it by the West Hastings Street area and you better make a bit of a detour on your way to Gastown...). Shops and many Vancouver downtown attractions are close-by. We found ourselves leaving the car in the garage most of the time.
We stayed in the apartment with four people - which is ok, but not perfect as the second bedroom and its bed are a bit small. So are the dining area and the living room. We think it is ideal for three people, though. There is not much of a view, but we were on our city explorations most of the time anyway. The website provides a true impression of the apartment.
The apartment was flawlessly clean and everything we needed was provided - from the obvious sheets and towels to shampoo and a hair dryer. Had we wanted to use the washing appliances, we would even have had everything for this, too. The kitchen is well equipped for basic cooking.
Check-in and check-out with Shawn was prompt. He personally assisted us with finding the right parking spot in the garage and explained the typical "Vancouver security system" to us. (Takes a bit of getting used to if you spent the past three weeks in the Canada wilderness where you hardly ever need to lock the door of your cabin...)
One of the best features for us was the pool which we found just fantastic for lap swimming in the morning.

"Comfortable and Convenient"
Keefer Suites is well located, close to Gastown, Yale Town, and Chinatown, with Tinseltown shopping center across the street and Costco down the street. The apartment was light-filled, very clean and comfortable. The check-in was friendly and efficient - Shawn took the time to show us the amenities, parking, and the layout of the apartment. We loved the WiFi and cable TV. It is a very secured building, and our children loved the pool and the spa. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

"Nice stay in Vancouver"
We were 3 in a 2 bedrooms appartment. It's a nice place. We had a great time. I really enjoyed going to the gym while my boyfriend and my friend were sleeping. I also liked the pool and the jacuzzi.
We also liked the fact that we had a grocery store nearby so we had all our breakfast at the condo. The place is well situated, there's restaurants, a mall, a cinema, the SkyTrain and buses.
The appartment is really nice with washer and dryer and a dishwasher! There were no view for us but we enjoyed the pond on the third floor.
I recommand to call 30 minutes before your check-out because they forgot about us and we were at the last minute at the airport but iIt's the only bad thing that happened in our stay.

Dear Cindy,
Thank you for the positive review regarding the condo and the building amenities. It holds true that all of our guests do thoroughly enjoy the stay based on the location, the condo and its amenities.
My sincere apologies for the slight delay during the check-out (it was scheduled for 6:30am on the Sunday morning and but unfortunately I could only make it to the condo at 6:45am). We hope the minor fault will not deter you from visiting or staying with us in Vancouver. My level of service and commitment to our guests who stay with us is unparalleled among comparable vacation rental property owners in Vancouver
Best regards,
"Modern space in the middle of the city"
This apartment was very modern, clean and comfortable. Not much of a view -- but the large, private patio made up for that. Also, no air conditioning, so that may be an issue for some during the warmer months, but we didn't mind. The location is very convenient and within walking distance of many interesting downtown neighborhoods. The pool area and rooftop garden are lovely and we took advantage of those quite a bit. Shawn, the manager, was very helpful and kind. A great experience!

"Comfortable Stay"
The apt was very comfortable, although the living area was a bit cramped for 4 people staying. The kitchen and appliances were all very clean. I would recommend rearranging the living area furniture to make the space bigger. The master bedroom's bed was very comfortable and the room was sizable.
Shawn was helpful with the pre-check-in, check-in and check-out process.

"Great option"
When traveling, my wife and I look for apartments as it enable us to have a good kitchen and live more like a local which is key to good traveling. This was the second option, as the other Vancouver West property was booked. Shawn at Vancouver West provided outstanding service and attention to my wife and I and 22 yr old stepdaughter. Including offering good suggestions for local dining and small local pubs.
We were a bit hesitant with the requirement for cash only deposit. And having to time our arrival with the ability of a "host" to meet us at the building. But small pototoes compared to the great location. Extremely convenient to the Stadium/Chinatown Skytrain station which really helped. We would fully recommend to anyone to consider this rental for their stay in Vancouver. Again, kudos to Shawn at Vancouver West to help make our short visit an enjoyable one.

"Excellent Location and Friendly Service"
Shawn was great, directing us from downtown Vancouver to the apartment and allowing us to check in and out at times that were more convenient to our travel arrangements.
The apartment itself is well located to access most of downtown Vancouver by foot and the Skytrain station means tha airport can be accessed in little over 30 mins for less than $5 per adult - a bargin!
We found the apartment to be clean, with excellent amenities, particularly the pool, hottub and sauna which we made good use of over the course of our stay.
In the mall adjacent to the apartment are a number of convenient shops and a food court which were useful.
Shawn had initially indicated that the area surrounding the apartment was not so nice to walk through after dark, however we did not find this to be the case.

Hi Charlotte,
We're more than happy to provide for flexible check-in and out's pending availability.
The skytrain is really a great transportation link - linking up the International Airport to Downtown Vancouver and the Metro Vancouver Area. I believe its $8.25 per adult leaving from the Airport to Downtown (extra $5 levy) and its $3.25 - $5.00 from Downtown to the Airport - quite a bargain if you ask me.
We are glad you enjoyed the building amenities - there's no better way for some rest and relaxation.

Shawn was very helpful in meeting us when we got into Vancouver late (delays on our flight and a strike on British airways). Everything was extremely smooth and the apartment worked fantastically. Location was great and the building the Keefer suite was in is excellent in every respect !
Don't hesitate, just book it !

"very convenient and comfortable"
the unit is handy to our son and daughter-in-law, and also to downtown Vancouver, but is on a quiet street next to a park.There is a car rental place about 100 m up the street. The high rise living is a novelty for us, from a rural area, but we coped with the security, elevators and parking arrangements without any trouble.

My family and I sourced our apartment in Vancouver from Vancouver West Living. The staff (Shawn Ho) who attended to us from our enquiry over the emails, to booking and payment over the internet for the rental of the apartment and meeting us in Vancouver, provided us with prompt and excellent service throughout. We were met upon our arrival and shown our apartment and was provided with all the useful information for our stay. Upon our departure, Shawn did everything he could to get us to the airport in good time despite we overslept! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay made possible by the professionalism that Shawn and Vancouver West Living offered to us a service that can only be described in one word: EXCELLENT!

"Great Location, comfortable and clean"
It was a great experience staying at this centrally located one-bedroom condo
during the first weekend of the Olympics. Although being close to Chinatown
it would have been just as great for that event too.
Clean, a helpful and friendly owner, and location that was central to everything
for convenience make this a highly recommended place to stay.
Security is good, and ease to shopping and transportation made the
experience even better.
I plan on visiting Vancouver again soon to explore more and it's a comfort
knowing a great place to call "home" during the stay. A big thumbs up and
thank you.

"The perfect executive/longer-term suite"
For our Christmas trip up to Vancouver of 12 days, we didn't relish the thought
of shelling out the cash required for a decent hotel. On top of the room rate,
they'd also get us on the Internet access ($15) and parking ($24) as well as all
the taxes and fees. Through our research, we found Vancouver West Living and
worked out that we'd save over 33% over 12 days, not insignificant. Through the
entire process, Shawn has been more than accessible. He's answered every question
I had and provided top-notch service.
The suites are located right by GM Place, conveniently by the Skytrain station,
a food court/small mall, Starbucks, McDonald's and Rexall drug store.
Oh, the Chinese supermarket T&T was kitty corner to the complex. In
other words, everything we needed was literally a step away.
The suite itself was great; clean and contemporary. Flat panel Sharp Aquos
LCD TV with every channel under the sun. Fully stocked kitchen.
In-suite laundry made freshening our clothes a breeze. Pool, sauna
and gym in the building was high end as well. Rooms were quiet and comfortable.
All in all I couldn't be more pleased with Shawn and Vancouver West Living.
They will be my first choice on my many return
visits to beautiful
I also post reviews on my trips onTrip Advisor under the screen name Edyang,
so you can see that my reviews are usually very accurate.
"Beautiful modern condo - love the building and atompshere"
We recently stayed at this beautiful condo in Downtown Vancouver.
It's very large and spacious. The patio was a bus as I was able to enjoy my morning coffee and newspaper. The building had some really nice amenities. I was able to take advantage of the swimming pool and take much need dip into the hot tub.
I also liked how the area is very convenient. There's a large grocery store, costco, shopping mall and cinema directly next to the building. We were also able to catch the Canucks hockey game as the stadium was directly next to it. Transportation is also very convenient as you have a stadium station within a block of the building.
Overall I would highly recommend this condo and would stay again next time I'm in Vancouver.

Sigma 105mm - how sharp?

Re: Sigma 105mm - how sharp?
It's a macro lens, so the focus is expected to be slow ... but it has perfect manual focus feel. Its awkward to switch to manual focus, but I think it works well. The AF works fine on my E-3 with the limiter set on.
Agree to what someone else noted about a slight yellow tint, so set your WB with lens on if in jpg or shoot RAW.

WSC Student Presented With NSP Seat Belt Survivor Award
Posted: 20 November, 2012
WAYNE - A Wayne State College freshman who survived a single vehicle rollover crash was honored Monday, November 19, with the Nebraska State Patrol Seat Belt Survivor Award.
On the morning of September 13, 2012, Calla McClenahan, 18, Kearney, was involved in a crash 5 ½ miles west of Wayne on Highway 35. Calla, a freshman at Wayne State College was driving westbound on Highway 35, when a malfunction with her vehicle caused it to veer into the south ditch. The vehicle rolled, crushing the roof before coming to rest on the passenger side. Calla, who was wearing her seat belt, was able to unbuckle and crawl out of the rear window of her vehicle. She was transported to the hospital in Wayne, where she was treated and released for minor injuries.
"Had Calla not had her seat belt on the outcome of her crash could have been dramatically different," said Colonel David Sankey, Superintendent of the Nebraska State Patrol. "Calla is a seat belt survivor and a true example that buckling-up saves lives."
Calla was presented her award by Trooper Matthew Eischeid during a ceremony attended by family and friends at Wayne State College.

The retailer is being replaced by Allegion Plc, a provider of security for homes and businesses, according to a statement released by S&P Dow Jones Indices on Friday.
The retailer's downward spiral began during an ill-fated transformation strategy under former CEO Ron Johnson, who was fired in April after 17 months on the job.
The company's stock has rebounded during the last month, however, the change isn't enough to keep J.C. Penney in the index.

Illustration I did from a book character.
Nice work, liked how you draw the motion in this picture, I mean the leaves and mantle that are moved by the wind .
I -love- the sword design in this.
This looks like a character from Reign.

I have seen a few pics but I don't have any to show you. I don't think it is too awfully rare but I may be mistaken. As far as what year I'd need pics of your bike to tell you.Originally Posted by rns1016

First-time poster resurrecting this thread because I recently acquired a GT Performer from about the same time period although mine's orange. =o/
Anyway, it has these plastic wheels that I need to replace. They're all messed up (warped or something) and they are going to get me killed at high speeds. Other than that though, I like the bike and think it definitely feels legit when hopping and putting it through it's paces...as much as I can put it through 'paces' that is. heh heh 34.5 pounds though!
1) Is the GT Performer circa late '90s a 'good' bike? That's a wildly subjective question, I know, but curious to hear from the board.
2) What should it cost (about) to throw some new wheels on it considering I'm not competing or anything but do like to jump around and hit some rocky trails and such. Local shop estimated ~$100.
3a) In general, are plastic wheels heavy? They seem like they weigh a lot when taken off.
3b) Do you think it could trim a couple pounds with spoked rims? BTW I DO workout but still want it lighter! =oD
Thanks in advance
Speak of the devil...
This all black GT Performer just showed up on my local craigslist with pics. The post says that its 10 years old so this should be just about what you're looking for.

How about some supplies. There was a thread earlier about a mom filling up a backpack for her child--she was going to give it to him/her on the first day of homeschool. Perhaps, instead of standard supplies, you could have a book about local nature (field guide to birds, bugs, etc) and a nature journal.
Mom to three very active girls Anna (15), Kayla (12), Maya (9).
For me homeschooling isn't about changing the parent-child relationship into a teacher-student relationship, it's about freedom to learn and live outside a school-like model, and flexibility. So in your situation I would give gifts of vouchers, passes or cards that emphasize the freedom and flexibility: a pool pass, a library card, ice cream vouchers, gift certificate for zoo admission, that sort of thing.

Are you thinking of something like the German practice of a schultute?
Thanks for the link, heket! What a neat custom!
May God bless you and His Blessed Mother Mary keep you! :-)
I had never thought of a ceremony or anything like this; but I really like the idea; something to mark the milestone of being "school-age" especially since peers will be going off to class, and my son won't be going to school, we'll be homeschooling.
just to say, yk, in waldorf its 7 not 5 that is significant. Not that you shouldn't do 5 at all. For us 7 has always been a much bigger deal because it starts to become possible to give them a lot more freedom. Also, I wouldn't give a 5 year old a knife but in our family the kids get a good carving knife at age 7.
Also, for each of mine, when they left their Waldorf kindergarten they each got a small Osteheimer animal which they tend to carry around when they need extra support. It was the animal I thought was right for them then. So dd1 whose name has some mythological association with cats got a cat. Etc.
I'm always quite anti big beginnings to HS becuase I think its something you have to find your way in, you can't plan til you've been doing it a while. Even now for me, 5 years in, its still more unexpected than not. So I'd go small and symbolic.
Oh the only other thing might be specifically outdoors stuff. At age 5 ds had a ceramic firebowl which he loved.

Santelli Slams America's 'Debt-Is-Wealth' Mentality
In American society, 'debt' and 'income' have become increasingly synonymous over the past 3 decades; but as Rick Santelli blasts (commonsensically), "they certainly shouldn't be." It appears the average joe has been led to this conclusion by the Central Banks. Rhetorically asking "where's the horsepower in the economy coming from?" Rick reflects on the auto-loan fears we discussed earlier, santelli notes that 55% of used cars (and 30% of new cars) are financed by subprime lenders... and rages, "if we continue as a country to fuel our consumerism with debt, there is no way the bond market's going to be wrong."
The bottom line, Santelli concludes,
"Until we start to get the income equation moving, the central banks can't do enough. ultimately, end game, can't fuel an economy on debt."
As we noted earlier...(via Macronomics),
"When somebody has too much debt and cannot reimburse it, how do you bail him out? Obviously by restructuring his debts, which imply losses for his creditors.
But when one lends him more money in order for him to pay back what he owes, he is not bailing him out but rather pushing him in a bigger hole! The game until now has been to "print" more money and to add more debt on the shoulders on the indebted ones, to gain some time in the hope that growth will resume and reduce de facto the weight of the existing debt burden and the additional new debt issued to support the initial debt troubles.
This is a big misunderstanding of debt dynamics and its effects on the economy. When debt becomes too big, which it is now the case in many parts of Europe, the servicing drains all the available cash flows and reduces the growth potential."

All those sub-prime deadbeats.. so it's not their fault now?
Thanks for the self righteous sound-bite Rick...
Since when is being right considered self-righteous?
I will forever be stuck in 2009 with this guy.

As far as this topic, yes he is correct
Get it right folks.
Money IS debt. Gold IS money.
In American society, 'debt' and 'income' have become increasingly synonymous over the past 3 decades; but as Rick Santelli blasts (commonsensically), "they certainly shouldn't be."
Bzzzzt, sorry Rick, wrong answer! Debt IS income... if you're a bank.
Rick's too late...Rumor has it USA already defaulted, citizens to find out soon.
I hear China foreclosed on FRB from two alt. sources now and the US defaulted around Oct. 2013 henceforth, 1) no more debt ceiling debate, 2) pay China first legislation in same Oct 2013, 3) China has direct access to US Treasury computers early 2013, 4) China banks are free to buy any American bank 2012, and 5) Dallas Fed on Pearl St. flies Chinese flag last week.
Rumor has it now JPM was sold to the Chinese after they bought 1 Chase Plaza for 725m (sic). In fact, looks like China has bought a bit more than just JPM prime RE with the tunnels running direct to the FRB gold vaults.
Can you say: "The Chinese are coming, the Chinese are coming, danger danger get from street". To paraphrase "The Russians are coming".
These cities in CA are completely afloat (operate) on Chinese money...Fresno (home of the West coast IRS), San Leandro, Torrance.
The gold bugs deliberately confusing the issue. Gold is a good like any other. Using goods for payment is barter, i.e., goods are exchange for other goods (like gold). It's not just a barter system it's a fraudulent barter system because gold coins or gold backed bills use fractional reserve gold.
When will the people finally get it that money is merely a representation of wealth and not the wealth itself. Wealth is created by people, while money is created by a banking cartel that uses this fact to extract wealth from the people.
This is why "We the People" should "coin Money, regulate the Value thereof, and of foreign Coin".
The end of f*ing story! The way the founding fathers wanted it.
What is money if not a stand-in for goods or services - bartering is just a system of exchange that is direct rather than indirect. True, there has to be agreement that the money indeed represents the value of goods or services. That's why the system hasn't imploded yet - because people (clueless people, or psychopathic people) still agree that a FRN represents the value that traditionally gold represents. The difference between FRN and gold is that gold has 6,000 years of agreement that it is valuable. That tradition is not going away, since it is the last bastion of agreement that has never been violated! ultimately, everything is based on agreement!
and if you use your debt based money to leverage more debt capital in the market to ramp up your notional debt exposure (aka go all in long e-minis) you could easily, and would have already just this year alone, more than doubled your debt money and been able to exchange the difference for real money.
exactly, mark. our currencies are NOTES OF DEBT. the only backings they have are the pentagon and more debt. it is babylonian money magik at its finest.
people are so used to seeing these debt notes as having actual value that it is difficult for them to wrap their minds around the truth of what they work for, kill for and swindle for: more DEBT.
personally, I have been and will continue to cash out of this system with every extra penny I have because, fortunately, we can still buy real assets with this debt. so get it while you can because the window is closing on the ill winds of the coming shit storm.
It's a similar question to: Who is worse, the drug (debt) pusher or the drug (debt) user?
Debt and drugs make the brain feel good, that's why it's so addictive.
Although I thought your quip was cute, and so, I up-voted it, of course, it was also grossly superficial.
The international banksters were behind driving their political puppet politicians to create the "war on drugs." Governments that enforced frauds were the source, that was worse than both the drug user and the drug pusher.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=c7peMvnqwEoThe FKN Newz on DRUGS
The whole system was basically debt slavery backed up by wars based on deceits. It is a vicious spiral which is automatically getting worse faster. Within a Money As Debt system, there is no more money if there is no more debt. Within a Money As Debt system, those who benefit the most are those who take the most advantage of that process of making "money" out of nothing, as debts. Those who try to avoid debts end up getting screwed overall, in the longer term.
The Money As Debt system is the result of the application of the methods of organized crime to dominate the political processes, so that frauds would be legalized, and thus enforced by governments, which frauds would thus fantastically benefit some special interests. However, people who want to go back to commodity backed money continue to deliberately ignore the deeper realities: MONEY IS MEASUREMENT BACKED BY MURDER.
Gold and sliver as money is the measurement of gold and silver backed by murder. Those who want to go backwards to return to honest and sound money tend to deliberately ignore that would only be possible IF there was an honest and sound murder system to back up that honest and sound money. Of course, THAT is why these problems are so damned difficult!
The presently existing systems were due to the methods of organized crime being able to capture control over the government. Those methods were both bribery and intimidation, but, most significantly, those methods also included paying for the assassinations of some politicians that could not otherwise be bribed or intimidated.
In fact, the debt controls depend upon the death controls. "Money" as paper, or encoded bursts of electricity, gets its value from that being necessary to pay taxes, as well as various other legal tender laws, whereby the force of the government makes that fiat money have value. Moreover, money is merely the most abstract form of private property, which does not exist outside of some system of public violence, because private property depends upon backing up claims with coercions. Human realities are always organized lies, operating robberies, because the production of destruction controls production.
Anyone who deliberately ignores that when they propose idealistic "monetary reforms" I regard as merely being a backwards reactionary revolutionary. Anyone who proposes "solutions" based on impossible ideals is spouting useless nonsense, that could only actually make the opposite happen in the real world.
INSIDE A MONEY AS DEBT SYSTEM, THAT KIND OF MONEY IS "INCOME," ESPECIALLY FOR THOSE WHO GET THE FIRST CRACK AT SPENDING THAT NEW MONEY WHICH WAS MADE OUT OF NOTHING AS DEBT. Of course, in the longer term, too much of that kind of control of production by the destructive effects of enforced frauds destroys the productive capacity. Therefore, in my view, the established systems of enforced frauds are going to drive themselves through to their own mad self-destruction, which will make monetary revolutions eventually happen. It is NOT possible to reform the established systems sufficiently, since they are fundamentally fraudulent, which make reconciling the human economies with the natural ecologies impossible to do in any straightforward ways.
Not only is it necessary in the shorter term to understand that the established systems are based on governments becoming the biggest form of organized crime, controlled by the best organized gang of criminals, but it is also imperative in the longer term to understand how and why that situation necessarily developed. The political economy was always inside the human ecology. The monetary system was always inside the military system. In that context, economics became success through fraud, while warfare became success through deceit.
Making the brain feel good becomes quite hyper-complicated inside of social systems where "success" depends upon participating in enforced frauds. It is almost impossible to assess either drugs or debts properly without that perspective. In general, most people make their brain feel good by believing in bullshit, mainly by the ways that they rationalize and justify how they make a living.
Inside of the current civilization, where the belief in bullshit cascades down from the ruling classes to all those they rule over, creating absurd State Religions, which reward those who agree with bullshit, while punishing those who do not agree with bullshit, both drugs and debt are so deeply buried under layer after layer of bullshit that it is practically impossible to perceive what the deeply buried more radical truth may be.
From the down arrow response thus far Mr. Santelli is the clear winner here. Santelli and Mozilo for Prez.. on the fuck the losers that were shoveled money because they could scibble a signature ticket..
The enablers of all this <crickets>
My new anthem? I like Dick, I like Dick....
You do realize that it's been the policy of the administration, thru the FED's printing as much money they can, to push debt onto the public using the banks as the vehicle, right? None of this is possible without the approval of the Prez and the FED. I hate bankers too, but let's be honest about where the responsibility lies and who pays the ultimate cost.
Mongo is convinced you do indeed "like dick" Now if you and goatfuker, and top gear..who likes it in the rear would kindly pound some salt, the regular dudes can get back to some regular dialogue. Oh and thank you kindly in advance!
You like dick? Keep your sexual preferences out of this discussion. There are other forums for such nonsense.
The auto loans to sub-prime deadbeats is far worse than they are telling people. There is no apple to apple comparison in Fico scores with now to pre-2007. The "New" sub prime loans are far worse risk than the old sub prime loans.
I base this on reviewing fico scores of my would be renters, with a full credit history not just a raw score. Since 2007, Fico scores have been greatly inflated. Renters are scoring 50 to 100 points higher than they use to with similar histories.
These sub prime loans are to people who would have been considered totally unqualified just a few years ago. They will go bust in a big way.
They're just grading on a curve,dude.
And history is again "rhyming".
We saw the same thing in the Subprime Housing Bubble of 2008.
HUD policy of pushing the "good intention" that everyone had a"right" to own a house saw loans given to people who had no hope in hell of keeping up with the monthly payments.
We all know how that ended...

Rick should have read this from his own site. There really isn't a problem with student debt because most of it will be paid off....eventually....as long as people live longer and work for a good 60 years of their life.
Two problems - While these students are piling up more and more debt, there are fewer and fewer good paying jobs to pay it off with. And secondly, a very good deal of this loan money is being used to pay living expenses, if not most of it for students only registered for an online basket weaving course in order to qualify as a student. I would venture a guess that a whole lot of this loaned money is not buying education.
*Except for people who qualify for student loan forgiveness.
Just another hippy pinko who hates everything Merica stands for, and the troops!
I expected a passionate delivery. I am dissappoint.
"we can't fuel an economy on debt." rick santelli via cnbc.
who said we are fueling an economy on debt?
hey rick! what we are doing is fueling debt slavery and usury and infinite fiat on debt.
rick and his talk about the "economy" is soooooooooooo buggy whip.
You still watch this channel?
As long as society believes 0's and 1's on a computer screen are wealth, the game will continue.

Small wonder. Never too late to put your money where your mouth is.
That's because money = debt.
...furthermoar, economist = parasite
I'd argue that Banker = Parasite, and
Economist = Bankster Shill.
Why not both?
"I'd argue that Banker = Parasite, and
Economist = Bankster Shill."
You forgot to mention politicians...
Politicians are the same all over. They promise to build a bridge even where there is no river. ~Nikita Khrushchev
Economist = parasite
Economist = Bankers shill
As an economist and middle man, having nothing to do with banks per se, I'd have to go with the former.
And yes, in a fiat reserve margin leveraged banking system, money is debt, all debt, and nothing but debt. Debt collapses, money vaporizes.
in a society that values the illusion more than the reality, this debt boom should come as no surprise.
The Public Be Suckered
Debt most certainly is income when you have no intention of paying it back.
Driving that FICO to zero is 21st century #winning ! no worry ...Your loan will still get approved !
If you can squat in a foreclosed house for a few years, squating in a foreclosed car should be a piece of cake...
They can't tow away a house.
If you sell debt, you can accumulate moar debt, by paying down old debt with new debt issuance, which gives the appearance of debt income to which you can sell debt against to accumulate moar debt!
Back in the 80's, people would use cocaine to stay up longer, work harder, to make more money to buy more coc to stay up longer, work harder, to make more money to buy more coc...

We use the Google University search and I have tried using that - but this is does not seem to be effective for this purpose.
I have tried searching the web for a solution, but no luck.
Thank you to anyone who can help!
[I assume your URL is '/somepath/myurl.html', and your web server root path is '/home/httpdocs']
rgrep -x 'html' -rl '/somepath/myurl.html' /home/httpdocs > yourresultfile.txt
rgrep -x 'htm' -rl '/somepath/myurl.html' /home/httpdocs >> yourresultfile.txt
lazy way.. :)
Of course, you can use 'grep' instead of 'rgrep', omitting the 'x' arg, but in this case you'll have a big CPU-RAM-diskI/O expense, because grep will scan ALL the files in the given directory.
This is another, correct, way, with grep:
find /home/httpdocs -name '*.html' > tmp.txt
find /home/httpdocs -name '*.htm' >> tmp.txt
grep -lr '/somepath/myurl.html' `cat tmp.txt` > yourresultfile.txt
Note that you don't need root privileges for doing this.

33 Reviews for Lakeridge East
Sort by:
Maintenance services, secure location, best fitness and tennis club in Reno and friendly managers.
The staff has always been helpful and friendly, and the response to any request that I have made regarding maintenance was prompt.
The apartment seems to be well insulated and I don't hear noise coming from other apartments. Whenever I have something that needs to be tended to, I am given courteous attention and the problem is handled quickly. I really enjoy the trees nestled around the whole apartment complex and my particular apartment an even homier feel as I look out various windows and see the trees.
Great service/maintenance
The location is great for me, near shopping, dining and especially my older parents. The units are clean, quiet, have a nice floor plan. The appliances, while not fancy stainless etc., do get the job done. Having access to the gym and Courtside Grille is a plus.

I have just had a hellish day.
i was going to go cycling myself this morning, but had a slight sore shoulder so didn't. However, decided to go for maybe 20 miles this afternoon, and my wife, Sandra, decided to accompany me.
It was quite muggy and warm and Sandra hates wearing her helmet (as she has long hair and feels it makes her sweat), and the first part of the trip was climbing for maybe 8 - 10 miles.
Sure enough, i gl;ance back on one of the hills and S has her helmet tied round her handlebar.
i stopped and told her that I wouldn't cycle with her if she didn't wear it. After a bit of a discussion she grudgingly put it on.
On the way back, as we had climbed so much we were going mostly down hill. About 2 miles from home, i was about 30 yds in friont of Sandra on the road. She called "you should be on the cycle track " and then I heard an awful bang and metallic scraping. I turned round to see Sandra sprawled across the path and ran back to see her.
She was initially unconscious, and bleeding a lot form a deep wound on her chin. She came to and then passed out again, by which time a passing motorist had called for an ambulance.
Her Giro helmet was wrecked, she had a nylon burn on her face where the helmet had twisted and the strap had gone across her cheek.
S was strapped to a spinal board and neck brace and in hospital had x rays of skull, jaw, cervical spine, left wrist, lower spine and right leg. Luckily, nothing appeared to be broken, but she looks like she has been mugged. Basically, it is easier to say where she doesn't hurt rather than where she does.
The point of impact was the front of her helmet and her chin. I hate to think what would have happened if she hadn't been wearing her helmet.
There is still some suspicion that her jaw might be fractured but we have to wait until the swelling has gone down and they might need to do more x rays.
I know this has been done to death but please please wear your helmet. 5 hours in casualty wondering if your loved one has fractured her skull or broken her neck is not an experience I want to repeat.
As it is, hopefully a bit of TLC and she'll be back to normal.
She can't remember the accident, but I think she clipped the curb when going from road to path. She was going quite fast and the front wheel of her bike is wrecked, which would suggest she hit something solid.

A Plymouth home is now completely destroyed after firefighters say it went up in flames Saturday afternoon.
Firefighters were called to the home on 120 Bennett Drive around 4:30 p.m. They say when they got the entire home was ablaze.
There was one woman home, but she was able to get out in time. Firefighters say she called 911 when she saw smoke coming from the attic.
It took firefighters around 4 hours to put the fire out. No one was injured. Officials say the home is a total loss.
Officials believe the fire was electrical, but they are still investigating.

After the morning's trading, the market is not looking good. The Nasdaq has decreased 1.3%; the S&P 500 is trading down 0.8%; and the Dow is down 0.5%. Also known as the "Big Board", the NYSE relied for many years on floor trading only, using the open outcry system.
The biggest movers traded on the NYSE so far are:
|Market Cap
|Percentage Change
|Texas Industries, Inc. (NYSE:TXI)
|$1.06 billion
|Merck & Co (NYSE:MRK)
|$125.34 billion
|AutoZone (NYSE:AZO)
|$13.81 billion
|Quest Diagnostics (NYSE:DGX)
|$9.64 billion
|Procter & Gamble (NYSE:PG)
|$168.24 billion
|BP Prudhoe Bay Royalty Trust (NYSE:BPT)
|$2.6 billion
|CNOOC Limited (ADR) (NYSE:CEO)
|$88.39 billion
Beginner's Guide To NinjaTrader Trading Software
After an increase of 8.7%, Texas Industries (NYSE:TXI) has reached a current price of $41.35. So far today, the company's volume is 614,054 shares. Volume is used to evaluate how meaningful the price movement of a stock is. Margin ratios highlight companies that are worth further examination. TXI has a low gross profit margin of 13.3%. A low gross profit margin compared to competitors may be a sign that the company is under-pricing its products and/or services. Both TXI's operating and net profit margins are negative. This is because the company reported net and operating losses in the most recent quarter.
Understanding investment valuation ratios allows the investor to assess the true value of an individual stock. The price/book value ratio provides a way of evaluating whether a stock is relatively cheap or expensive. TXI's P/B ratio of 1.79 shows that its share price is higher than its book value. This implies that investors expect management to create more value from a given set of assets and/or that the market value of the firm's assets is significantly higher than their accounting value. P/B value comparisons should be made among companies in the same industry rather than across industries. SEE: How Buybacks Warps The Price-To-Book Ratio
Increasing 4.2%, Merck (NYSE:MRK) is trading at $42.95 per share. So far today, 23.1 million shares have changed hands, above yesterday's volume of 12.4 million shares. As a stock moves up or down, it is important to pay attention to the trading volume. This indicates the level of interest: the higher the volume, the more the interest. Margin analysis tells us how effectively management can wring profits from sales and how much room a company has to withstand a downturn, fend off competition and make mistakes. MRK has a relatively high gross profit margin of 80.4%. A high gross profit margin generally means that the company can make a reasonable profit on sales, provided that overhead costs do not increase. MRK's operating margin of 21.6% and net margin of 14.5% are high relative to its gross margin.
In making a decision about a potential or existing investment, valuation ratios are useful as a basis for seeing whether the stock price is too high, reasonable, or a bargain. To a large degree, the debt-equity (D/E) ratio provides another vantage point on a company's leverage position, in this case, comparing total liabilities to shareholders' equity, as opposed to total assets in the debt ratio. MRK's debt-equity ratio of 33% is on the low end. This shows that the company's assets are financed primarily through equity. The D/E ratio is not a pure measurement of a company's debt because it includes operational liabilities in total liabilities.
AutoZone (NYSE:AZO) has moved up 4% and is currently trading at $383.70 per share. The company is currently trading a volume of 463,344 shares. This is 0.8 times its current three-month average. Volume is also used as a secondary indicator to help confirm what the price movement is suggesting. Profit-margin ratios can give investors deeper insight into management efficiency than earnings alone can provide. Gross profit margin, operating profit margin and net margin are commonly used margins. The gross profit margin for AZO is 53.9%. Investors trying to assess a company's ability to continue to pay its fixed expenses even if its business declines may want to evaluate the operating margin ratio. AZO has an operating profit margin of 20.2%. Net profit margin compares net income with sales. The company has a net profit margin of 10.7%.
Valuation ratios like the price to earnings (P/E) ratio, the price to earnings growth (PEG) ratio, the price to sales (P/S) ratio, the price to book (P/B) ratio, and the dividend yield are useful in determining how attractive a potential or existing investment is. In a nutshell, the price/sales ratio shows how much Wall Street values every dollar of the company's sales. The P/S ratio for AZO is a high 1.68. This could be a good sign if the share price increases. It is important to compare P/S ratios for companies in the same industry, as ratios can vary quite widely for companies in different industries.
Rising 4%, Quest Diagnostics (NYSE:DGX) is currently trading at $63.19 per share. At 1.7 million shares, the company's volume so far today is 1.7 times the current daily average. When a stock price moves up or down, watching the volume is a good way of identifying how significant that shift is. Calculating the profit margin is a great way to gain insight into aspects of how well a company generates and retains money. Instead of measuring how much managers earn from assets, equity or invested capital, profit-margin ratios measure how far a company stretches its total revenue or total sales. DGX has a gross profit margin of 44.9%. Operating margin provides a measure of a company's ability to pay its fixed costs such as interest on debt, particular if its business were to decline in the future. DGX's operating profit margin is 15.5%. Net profit margin is calculated by dividing net income by sales. Net margin is 9.5%.
Investment valuation ratios can be very useful in estimating whether a stock price is too high, reasonable or a bargain investment opportunity. The debt ratio shows the proportion of assets that a company is financing through debt. DGX's debt ratio is 59.1%. As with all financial ratios, a company's debt ratio should be compared with the industry average or similar companies.
Procter & Gamble (NYSE:PG) has risen 3.5% to hit a current price of $63.54 per share. The company's volume for the day so far is 15.2 million shares. If a stock price makes a big move up or down, volume lets us know the significance of that move. Profit-margin ratios measure how much money a company squeezes from its total revenue or total sales. Investors can look at a company's gross profit margin, operating profit margin and net margin to understand a company's profitability. PG's gross profit margin is 52.9%. The operating profit margin indicates how much EBIT is generated per dollar of sales. Operating profit margin for PG is 16.3%. Net profit margin is calculated by dividing net income by sales; the higher the net profit margin, the better. The company's net profit margin is 11.4%.
A company's value as an investment is more easily estimated using valuation ratios such as the price to earnings (P/E) ratio, the price to earnings growth (PEG) ratio, the price to sales (P/S) ratio, the price to book (P/B) ratio, and the dividend yield. Dividend yield is a way to measure how much cash flow you are getting for each dollar invested in an equity position - in other words, how much "bang for your buck" you are getting from dividends. PG has a dividend yield of 3.7%. It is important to remember that dividends are only one component of a stock's return and capital appreciation (or decline) must also be considered when evaluating a security. SEE: Investment Valuation Ratios: Dividend Yield
BP Prudhoe Bay (NYSE:BPT) is trading at $117.23 per share, down 3.4%. At 32,481 shares, the company's volume so far today is while it was 100,465 shares yesterday. If a stock price moves on high volume, this means that the change is a significant one. Investment valuation ratios can be very useful in determining the value of a stock, but it is very important to keep in mind that while some financial ratios have general rules (or a broad application), in most instances it is a prudent practice to look at a company's historical performance and use peer company/industry comparisons to put any given company's ratio in perspective. A simple P/E ratio can reveal the stock's real market value and show how the valuation compares to its industry group or a benchmark like the S&P 500 Index. P/E ratio for BPT is 12.7. From the investor's perspective, a stock with a lower ratio is relatively cheaper than a stock with a higher ratio. SEE: Profit With The Power Of Price-To-Earnings
CNOOC Limited (NYSE:CEO) has fallen 3.2% and is currently trading at $191.60 per share. This morning, the company is trading a volume of 38,703 shares. This is 0.3 times its average volume over the past three months. Volume indicates the level of interest that investors have in a company at its current price. While investment valuation ratios are useful tools in estimating the attractiveness of an investment, remember that it is important to look at a company's historical performance and compare the company ratios with its competitors and industry overall. One of the favorite tools of many value investors is analyzing price/book value ratios, as it provides a measure of the underlying value of a company's assets as compared to the valuation of its equity. The P/B ratio for CEO is 2.05, indicating that the stock is trading for more than its book value. It is important to take the company's debt into account when using the P/B ratio as debt can boost a company's liabilities to the point where they wipe out much of the book value of its hard assets, creating artificially high P/B values. P/B value ratios are particularly useful to value investors, distressed or "vulture" investors, or any other investors purchasing beaten-down securities but are less useful to investors focused on growth stocks, purchasing IPOs, or investing in technology or other "asset-lite" companies. SEE: Using The Price-To-Book Ratio To Evaluate Companies
The Bottom Line On any given day, a particular stock may see positive or negative change in its share price. Daily stock performance should be weighed against historical performance and put in context of the market overall. Tools like valuation ratios and profit margins, however, are only as useful as the context you put them in; remember to take historical data and competitor performance into account.

I'm anticipating a dividend hike from BNS on Monday as I think that their numbers will support a hike, unlike CIBC.
RY and TD (raised dividend 5%) had great quarters, whereas CM......well, that miss delivered a good pounding when coupled with the fact that the others raised their dividends while CM did not. It conveyed weakness and a lack of confidence in forward quarters.
I'm looking for a 2.5 cent quarterly dividend increase that will serve to push the current yield nearer the 4% mark. Dead board.
