So, I'm one of those silly first time moms that believed she had the best MIL on earth. We got along great since we met back in 2009. FIL is a strange man, he's nice but he's super stubborn and opinionated. He has a troubled complex of wanting to feel 'needed' or getting involved in important desicions where he hasnt been called. He has NO friends. MIL is a control freak with a sweet face and tone and will give you X Y Z solution if you happen to say no. She will make it impossible for you to refuse. She's also a professional guilt-tripper. She's social and has lots of friends. DH and I met in the US, been married for 5 years and moved back to (somewhere around Europe) 3 years ago. PILs live here and so does SIL (whom I love!) but she's moving to the US in 2 weeks. BIL lives in the US as well. So here we will be left alone feeding the neediness and drama of these two people that really...they're so meant for each other!.
When I got pregnant MIL would call me everyday, if I didnt answer she'd freak out and call DH. (wtf really!). When DD was two months MIL started feeling confident and that's when she went off her rocker and the baby rabbies was unleashed. One week she came to babysit DD for 3 hours so that I'd get some fresh air. She did a good job and I got to run some errands. I'm a sahm btw. So MIL felt the need to make this a weekly tradition because that's what she does. She's a control freak and likes to make everything a fucking tradition, telling me that she was coming because I need to breath...yeah whatever...it would be so much better if she'd just accept how bad her baby rabbies is and put the bullshit 'I care for you that's why I'm helping' to the side. Now she keeps coming once a week for two hours and it's starting to feel like if she's just running the GMOTY show to tell her friends and on the DEBIL. This is relevant for later on.
So, since DD was about two months I started to feel sick to my stomach with so much shit that was going on. MIL was following me everywhere in her house or mine or if we were all together at the mall to have breakfast, She would insist to take over feeding, changing, sleeping, playing. I always said NO but she would always insisted, I never let her do any of those things that mommy does so I have no fucking idea why she kept pushing it. She was with me in the room (at her house or mine) when breastfeeding ALWAYS. She started giving unsolicited advice. She wrote about LO in my baby-mom diary which is where I write things about MY BABY (I was fucking livid). She did it while babysitting and never told me about it. She printed all my baby pics on the DEBIL and has them displayed all around her house. She bought one of those picture albums/books that -correct me if I'm wrong- usually MOMS are the ones who get it (u know those ones with pages to write about baby, weight, first word, first steps, pics, etc). The only comments from her I got in a couple of pics on the DEBIL (pics of me with friends -no LO on sight) were like: oh, and you didnt invite LO? or she would comment on BIL's wife wall: your wedding pictures are great. What do you think about LO? (totally off topic!). She got pissed at me because I went to visit a friend of mine in her town (didnt tell her but I gladly displayed the pics on the DEBIL because it's my fucking life! also my friend picked me up and brought me back by car-she has a car sear for LO) So MIL confronted me about the visit to my friend because I refused to do the 1 hour bus ride with LO to go and drop her off at her house so that she can go and show her to friends. Like if I owed her a fucking explanation (or my kid!). She wanted me to take LO to BIL's wedding (you don't bring kids to a wedding in this country!), she wanted me to take DD to sleep in the stroller at night in the restaurant where the family was going to celebrate SIL's bday. DD doesnt sleep well in the stroller and we have a strict bath, bottle, bed routine. Of course when her selfish wish wasnt met she called me 'uptight'. We had a big short argument not too long ago when I informed her we're not going to come every weekend anymore; she cried, told me: why are you doing this to me??? LO is all I have .... She got called out for that.
Why did I allow all this shit??? I still dont know. DH has been half DH, half DuH. Always saying they're crazy but they mean well and they're over excited. I was sick of -mostly MIL- so I sent her a letter, telling her every thing -past and recent- that bugged me. She didnt take it light. She apologized though...not like: I'm sorry I've been such a pain in the ass but sort of: you know if you were a friend and you'd send me that letter I wouldnt speak to you again, but you're faaaamily and I love you and I want us to get along. -I dont know what the fuck happened in my head back then but I took the non-apology and moved on. I wish I could have told her: 'if you were a friend and you'd pull this shit on me I wouldnt speak to you either but I doubt you'd pull stuff like that on a friend' -No chance to get a do-over though.
Some of the important points of my letter was to let MIL know that I was the head bitch of this family (DH, LO and me) not on those words of course. But I informed her that we werent having the weekend lunch every week as we're now a family and we need time for ourselves. So most likely every other week. I also warned her better not to pull the plan of inviting the family to my place every week that they wouldnt see us (yeah, this was her awesome idea to fix 'our problem' of not coming every week). Fuck no. And another one: TO STOP fucking calling me everyday. If she calls me two days in a row I dont answer the third day and she gets back on track with my request.
So FF to this weekend. (I have to be honest DH is not on board with the fact that we see them too much and we've had terrible fights about the PILs but mostly about MIL) This weekend though, DH was busy, working at home. Saturday comes (which is usually when we go) and none of us is mentioning the visit to the ILs. I'm happy cause I suspect we're not going. I put LO for a nap. Go out for a bit then DH calls me: 'My parents are asking if they can come to take LO to the park for an hour'. My blood boils instantly because of -last pharagraph- they're doing exactly what I asked them NOT TO DO!
Me: I dont think that's a good idea. I told your mom not to pull this bullshit and she's doing it exactly on the first weekend that she's not seeing us.
DH: it's not a big deal. they're only taking her for an hour.
Me: I dont care if it's an hour or 5 min. Of course the idea is no big deal. But MIL is stepping all over me. Why the fuck can they just get a life and do something else? It's like if they depend on us for happiness now.
DH: LO makes them happy they want to spend time with her.
Me; we will definitely never see it the same way. This is really fucked up IMO. Do whatever you want.
DH: this is not how we're going to do it. I want you to be ok with it.
Me: You know I'm not ok with it and you're ignoring my reasons to avoid drama with them.
DH is calm. He finishes the conversation. I'm stewing. But ok, we moved on without talking about it. I didnt even want to know what PILs said. Early night we're talking, playing with DD, she's almost ready for bed and I'm working on the guest list for DD's first bday party. Then DH asks me the question of the year (which I've been suspecting is going to come out from MIL's mouth:
DH: are we going to invite my mom's friends?
me: your mom's friend? why your mom's friends?
DH: I dont know..they sent us presents because she didnt do her babyshower and her friends havent met DD (yup...MIL wanted a grandma babyshower, I always bean-dipped her questions so I guess she understood I wasnt comfortable with that -btw grandma showers are done here but fuck that! not while I'm alive!)
I start boiling and then I blow up and sort of yell at DH: This is a party for us: YOU AND I who had OUR BABY, DD wont understand much yet so it's a party for the parents: we invite our friends and your parents and that's it. This is NOT about your mother. She is a guest and she wants to come, perfect! if she thinks it's a big deal that her friends arent coming then she can stay home.
Then DH's unicorn starts coming out: You know how dissapointed my dad was today when I told him that they couldnt come?
me: this is his problem. He's responsible for how to feel about it. We dont have to say yes to everything they ask. what did you tell him?
DH: I told him that 'that didnt work for us' and he told me 'but son, what do you mean that doesnt work for you guys? what are you guys? an office?' I felt really bad, I didnt know what to say.
Me; you told him exactly what's going on. There's no need for explanation. This is ridiculous that they cant take a NO without making a huge deal of it. Our baby is not Xanax, she's not a toy. When your parents start to get a fucking life I might see them with different eyes but they're a couple of control freaks and the love they have for DD is very unhealthy. I wont allow this!
He kept telling me to calm down but the stuff just kept coming out of my mouth. I sort of killed that fucking unicorn because a whole week went by and we didnt hear from them and DH didnt call them and told me that they were ridiculous. SIL visited me and we talked a bit about the issue. She told me that she came to see them on Sat evening and they were really sad because of us (she -SIL- was out of the country for two weeks and came back that day to stay two weeks and then she's gone to the US). I told DH how fucking sad it is to hear SIL telling me that they had sad faces when their own daughter showed up after two weeks and knowing that she's leaving and all. DH smiled and told me: yeah...that's so sad...I didnt think about that but it's so true. -These two forgot that there's other people on the face of the earth!
Now, DH called his mom on Thursday to check how they're doing. Mommy told him: you know, we need to talkkk, face to face. DH responds: yeah (not very interested) and she says: we are very sad. DH rolled his eyes as he was telling me. I almost fucking puked. What a bitch really...so she's going to make this whole thing about how we hurt their feelings!
So, ladies, here are my questions and sorry this is SO LONG,
1. I kind of told DH I dont want to go this weekend there. He sort of told me that would be ok but that he promises me he wont let his parents get me involved and that he will talk to them. I feel that I should make surprise plans for Sat and run away with LO and let DH go there alone. If I tell him before hand he might try to convince me to go and I have a feeling I shouldnt go.what do yo think?
2. LO will start daycare this coming week. I want to tell MIL to stop coming to babysit. Why? cause I'm sick of her. But I'm afraid DH is going to think I'm stirring the pot and he's doing well enough lately,, I dont want to ruin it. LO will be going only 3x a week so there will be lose days were MIL would love to invite herself but I'm done with her coming to babysit.
3. How do I shut down MIL if she comes out with inviting her friends. She still doesnt know I'm organizing a party because she will want to participate and well...I will be the ONLY one organizing my first baby's first bday. I know I will say NO but give me a good 'one line' explanation for her usual: why?
Any other advice is more than welcome. Yeah...I'm looking for a therapist in case you're wondering. Thanks :)

WALNUT CREEK -- In late September, City Councilman Bob Simmons traveled 6,000 miles to the small town of Noceto in Northern Italy to attend a city council meeting.
Most people visit the community of approximately 10,000 residents in the Emilla Romagna Region near the city of Parma to savor the Parmesan cheese or gaze in awe at a nearby 15th-century castle, but Simmons, in an interview one week after the trip, said the meeting was a highlight.
"One of the interpreters' father was the mayor when the first (Sister Cities) delegation came to Walnut Creek, years ago," he said. "She was so excited at our being there and showed us front page newspaper photos of our arrival."
Sister Cities International began in 1956, when President Dwight D. Eisenhower had an insight -- that peace and prosperity arise from cultural and humanitarian exchanges. Walnut Creek joined the international program in 1986 after the city council approved $5,000 to fund a committee also supported by two sponsoring Walnut Creek Women's Clubs. The city hosted the first delegation from Noceto (which translated, means "walnut grove") in 1988. A number of exchanges -- in both directions -- have occurred since. A second city, Siófok, Hungary, was officially added as a sister city in 1993.
Simmons was accompanied on the recent trip by Walnut Creek Sister Cities President Karen Cassano and a delegation including a former mayor, the retired and the current city managers, the current city treasurer and assorted WCSCI leaders. The travelers paid their own fare.
In an interview prior to takeoff, Cassano said, "Everyone is going because they want to."
Although many cities build their programs atop economic components, Cassano said the cities' relationship is "strictly a social and cultural exchange." Strengthening ties and increasing appreciation of other cultures benefits the community, she insisted.
Simmons, asked how Walnut Creek residents gain from the friendship, admitted, participation is key.
"At some level, a person has to be engaged to benefit," he said, emphasizing that people don't have to travel to be involved. "If, when they come here, you know about it, you can interact. Last year, people came from Siófok and we took them to communities."
In Noceto, Simmons saw a problem impacting the people he described as "warm, friendly, exuberant for life and for music." Boarded-up buildings in the city's center were the result of "young persons' drain" -- a mass movement away from the small town by the younger generation.
"In Walnut Creek, we've approved 1,500 new housing units close to our downtown," Simmons said. "We're creating a downtown that will give our young people a place to stay. We have people who want to invest in our city. They don't have that."
But they do have an urban agriculture he admired. "There is a local cheese factory, just two miles out from the city center. They truck the whey to a local pig farm and feed it to the pigs. I respect how they take the local environment and create a closed circle where everything is used."
Joan Anderson, a Walnut Creek resident active in WCSC since 1992 and currently its vice president, was equally impressed.
"The gifts are intangible, but there is a feeling of friendship that we would not have in any other way except through a visit. There is so much strife in the world: this small trip made a huge impression of how much we are all alike."
Simmons, Cassano and Anderson all said the most noteworthy change to the 27-year old initiative is the addition of the Youth Ambassador Exchange program. In it's second year, the home-stay exchange brought eight Walnut Creek intermediate school students to Siofok before they joined the adult delegation in Noceto.
"The kids will remember this for the rest of their lives," Simmons said. "They develop friendships. When you're angry at a friend, you respond differently than if you don't know them at all. This enhances the potential for peaceful resolutions of naturally arising disputes."
Anderson agreed, recalling past visits when Walnut Creek hosted choral and soccer youth groups, welcomed Italian and Hungarian guests and engaged in exchanges aimed at teaching acceptance and respect for diversity.
Simmons said the youth ambassadors were expected to attend an October city council meeting to report on their trip. Although any cheese served at the meeting will likely by less tasty, he predicted the seeds planted by their experience would prove fruitful for years to come.

The Texas A&M-Corpus Christi men's basketball team was missing a pair of starters Wednesday night, but pulled together for an impressive 89-64 win over Texas State at the American Bank Center to move to 2-0 in the Southland Conference.
The Islanders, who are 8-9 on the season and 4-1 at home, played without Demond Watt, who missed the game with an ankle sprain, and LaMarr Drake. Drake is ineligible for the remainder of the season due to academics after starting the first 16 games at the point.
For the third time this season, four A&M-Corpus Christi players scored in double digits and the Islanders played strong defense all night to hold Texas State (8-7, 1-1) to its lowest output of the season. The Bobcats entered the game averaging 90.1 points which was third highest in the NCAA Division I ranks.
"I have never been any more proud of team because of the way they played than I am tonight," said Islander head coach Perry Clark. "We've been through a lot of adversity and I think through that the guys grown to believe in each other and trust each other.
"This wasn't a win out of talent or X's and O's. This was a heart win."
A&M-Corpus Christi trailed 4-0 just over a minute into the game, but scored seven straight points to lead 7-4. The Bobcats tied the game at seven on a three-point basket by Corey Jefferson.
Moments before becoming the second Islander along with Filip Toncinic with two fouls in the game's first three-plus minutes, Kevin Palmer, who led all players with 21 points, broke the tie with a three-point basket to start a 5-0 run.
Horace Bond hit a pair of free throws to make it a 12-7 game with 14 minutes to go in the half. Bond finished with nine points and a career-high 12 rebounds.
Brent Benson, who came into the game averaging 18.9 points a game, scored a fast-break bucket to make it a three-point game, 12-9. Benson would not score again and the Bobcats would get no closer the rest of the game.
Leading by five, 23-18, after Texas State's Jonathan Bowman hit a three, the Islanders went on a 10-4 run capped by a three-point basket by Tim Green to take their first double-digit lead of the game at 33-22 with 5:41 left in the half. Green tallied 15 points on the night to tie his season-high.
A pair of Ryan White free throws pulled the Bobcats back to within nine, 33-24, but A&M-Corpus Christi ended the half with a 13-2 run over the final 4:59.
Marcus Hammonds topped the run with three straight points. Hammonds made the first of two free throws with six seconds left and then missed the second. He hustled for the rebound on the miss and converted the putback. The Hammonds' bucket gave the Islanders a 46-26 advantage at the intermission. He finished with career-highs in points and rebounds with 13 and 11, respectively.
John Rybak's three-point basket 2:22 into the second half cut the Islander lead to 17, 50-33, but the Cats would get no closer.
A&M-Corpus Christi would twice extend its lead to as many as 31 points.
The Islanders shot 45.9% for the game and were 25-of-35 from the foul line. They out-rebounded Texas Sate 51-35.
Ty Gough led the visitors with 10 points as they finished just 30% from the field. Texas State, which nine steals, was 21-of-29 from the foul line.
The Islanders hit the road for the first time this season in Southland action as they hit the road for two straight. They visit Northwestern State on Saturday at 2 p.m. before visiting Lamar next Wednesday at 7 p.m.

Professionally, I'm a Technical Writer. I love to read, write, and edit. Total nerd here! ;)
I may be 34, but I'm not 60. I won't wear turtlenecks and pearls. I like my curves and like to show them off. I know how to be appropriate and all my partner's family/friends have always loved me. But I'm not going to dress like an old lady just because I've hit 30.
I don't play games. Come on. We are in our 30s. I won't pretend to have plans when I don't just because I think you want me to play hard to get. If I have plans, I won't ditch my friends for you. But if you call last minute and I actually don't have anything to do, sure, I'll meet up.
I'm bawdy and perverse. I like to think those are some of my better qualities.
This is where I should add: couples, fuck off. You won't be the exception.
I love to craft and its totally dorky, but I love it. I knit, I dehydrate my own spices, I make my own juices (hey, they make the best vodka mixers!).
Speaking of dorky, I love SciFi movies. I have a special place in my heart for anything Joss Whedon. I will rewatch the Firefly series yearly.
I don't want kids. I'd much rather have a big ol' backyard with lots of rescue dogs.
I love good food and wine, but I can get down with wings and cheap beer. I worked in hospitality for many years and I know my grapes.
I'm pretty silly/sarcastic/generally funny, although sometimes unintentionally. I'm ok laughing at myself. I have my "blonde moments." I love to laugh; I'm one of those obnoxiously happy people most of the time. Maybe not obnoxiously, but I find its much easier to just let shit go then hang on to it. I have no street smarts. The last time I was in Mexico I actually paid a vendor more than the painting was worth because I didn't want to fee like I was cheating them.
My next trip will either be to Poland to research family history or to Thailand to eat my face off. ;)
I'm not a morning person. If you try to wake me up at 7am on a Sunday you will meet the worst side of me. Oh, I do love mimosas and brunch though! :).
I love watching the Philadelphia Eagles! Yes, I will date you if you're a fan of another NFC East team, but I will talk shit (and expect you to give it right back to me)!
I can be quite shy at times. I try to force myself not to be!
I'm usually not interested in uber preppy people. I like some rough edges. If you use "4" for the word "for" or shorten "you" to "u" we probably won't get along. I like words.. full words. ;)
I think/hope I've given you a good insight into my personality. I'm pretty much an open book; if you have questions, feel free to ask.
Also, I'm a pretty good cook. I can't bake to save my life, but I can cook. I dabble occasionally with veganism, but I do it for the challenge of cooking good food, not because being vegan is sustainable for me.
And I guess since my MA is in literature, specifically Native American literature, I'm a good reader. I try not to be snobby about it, but every once in awhile the academic in me gets a bit snarky. Its rare, but it happens. Perhaps I'm admitting a flaw as well as something I'm good at. ;)
of the Butterflies" by Julia Alvarez. A close second is "The Lone
Ranger and Tonto Fistfight in Heaven" by Sherman Alexie. I did get
sucked into the Sookie Stackhouse novels because vampires are hot.
Currently, I'm using Anna Karenina as a paper weight, but hope to
upgrade to reading it one of these days. ;)
Movies: My movie tastes are a bit questionable. I rationalize it
out by saying that since I like smart books I have to equal it out
with dumb movies. No romantic comedies, mind you. More like.. crazy
mindless action and adventure flicks. Don't judge me, but my
favorite movie of all time is "Blade." I like anything vampire,
including "Let the Right One In," which is foreign and subtitled
but still awesome. I can watch the scene from "Dumb and Dumber"
with the ketchup and mustard 100 times in a row and still be
laughing hysterically the 100th time. I can quote most of "Empire
Records." I love Disney/Pixar flicks too, especially Wall*E and Toy
Music: Fairly broad tastes that stop short of country. I love
female singers with pretty voices. Typically NPR is on in my car
though. I've been known to be driving down the highway bawling
while listening to Dick Gordon's The Story. lol.
Food: I'm a foodie. Love to cook and try new things. I am happiest when I'm preparing a multi-course meal for a dinner party!
You're confident in yourself. I like people who know what they want. Don't "wink" with the generic OKC message. Has that ever worked? Take a chance and actually say 'hi.' I'm really pretty sweet. If you don't proposition me for sex right off the bat, I'll probably respond. ;)
Also, if you've read my profile. Example of failed email: "u are cute would u like to grab a beer sometime?" "u" is a deal breaker!!

The School Counseling Program is designed to prepare professionals for work as school counselors in elementary, middle, and high schools.
The Clinical Mental Health Counseling Program is designed to prepare professional for work in community settings such as counseling centers, agencies, business and industrial and private practice. Students receive preparation in working with individuals, groups, couples, families and organizations.
Selection of a university and graduate program of study is an important decision. Therefore, prospective students are required to meet and consult with a departmental faculty adviser as part of the application process. Students should schedule an appointment to discuss career goals and special circumstances with a member of the faculty as soon as possible by calling 719-255-4996 or email@example.com. This meeting will also serve as an admissions interview for the program.
The Department of Counseling and Human Services faculty select a day and evening cohort of students that begin their academic program each year beginning in June. Admission to the program is a selective process with enrollment limited to 50 qualified students (25 students in the day cohort and 25 in the evening cohort). Students are chosen during the spring semester for admission the following summer. Up to nine hours of approved coursework may be completed as an Unclassified Student or as a transfer student prior to admission. Successful completion of Unclassified Student or Transfer Student coursework does not ensure admission to the program. Consult with a faculty member about courses you wish to take as an unclassified student or to transfer, as certain rules apply to these courses.
To be considered for admission to the Counseling and Human Services program, prospective students must complete the following procedures:
Application deadline is January 28
Financial Aid Priority filing date is March 1
Applicants with any post-secondary course work from an international higher education institution that is recognized by their country's Education Ministry must submit a course-by-course foreign degree evaluation by member of NACES (National Association of Credential Evaluation Services http://www.naces.org/members.htm), AACRAO (http://ies.aacrao.org/evaluations/) or World Education Services/WES https://www.wes.org/).
The University of Colorado Colorado Springs does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national origin, sex, age, disability, creed, religion, sexual orientation, or veteran status in admission and access to, and treatment and employment in, its educational programs and activities.
*Note – FINGERPRINT CARD PROCESSING MAY TAKE 4 MONTHS or more so PLAN AHEAD!
College of Education students who will complete a field experience (internship, practicum, student teaching, etc.) as part of their degree program must submit fingerprint cards to the Colorado Bureau of Investigation (those results must be given directly from CBI to the Colorado Department of Education) in order to be appropriately screened before entering schools or agencies as a fieldwork student. Students who have completed a background check utilizing fingerprints for employment (and can provide valid proof as well as the result of the background check) do not have to repeat this process as part of their fieldwork requirements. In some cases, an educator who held a license prior to 2004 will not have fingerprints on file. Under current law these educators will be required to complete the fingerprint requirement when submitting an application. The general cost of a fingerprint card is $15.00 and the CBI cost to process your completed fingerprint card is $39.50.

>>Fingerprint Process for Fieldwork PDF
Admission to the Department of Counseling and Human Services is based on a combination of the following factors:
The Department of Counseling and Human Services "Core Experience" is a six or seven course developmental training sequence beginning in the initial summer semester and lasting for one full academic year (summer, fall and spring semesters). Students admitted to the program must commit to completing these Core courses in sequence during their first year in the program. Students planning to complete their program in two years must complete a 100 clock hour practicum as part of their "Core" year. Student's planning to complete their program in three years may choose to take practicum in the spring semester of their second year in the program.
After the completion of practicum, all students are required to complete a 600 clock hour internship. The 700 clock hour practicum and internship experience is necessary to complete the requirements for graduation from the program, and are completed in addition to required academic coursework and on-campus supervision groups. Applicants who anticipate problems in completing the 700 clock hour clinical experience portion of the counselor training program (practicum and internship) should consider other options for their graduate study.
The Counseling and Human Services counselor training program is specifically designed to meet the needs of the adult learner. All students must begin the program in June of the summer semester. Students are admitted to one of two cohort groups: a daytime cohort or an evening cohort, each cohort admits approximately 25 students. Students must commit to taking all their classes in the specific cohort group to which they are admitted.
Students need to be aware that the 4:45PM – 7:20PM time slot is used for classes that combine students from the day and evening cohorts (COUN 5800, 5810, 5920, 5440 and others). Group Supervision Classes for Practicum (COUN 5120) and Internship (COUN 5700 & 5720) for both the day and evening cohorts will be scheduled in the evening in the 7:30PM- 10:05PM time slot to permit students to accrue hours for their field work experience hours during the day.
Students admitted to the Department of Counseling and Human Services Master's degree program should plan to complete their degree within a three year time period. Counseling faculty members recommend that students complete the program of study in two years if possible. If this is not feasible every effort should be made to complete the program within three years. Students who will need three years to complete the program may elect to postpone their counseling practicum until the second year and postpone internship and other required courses until the third year.
According to Graduate School Rules, students may transfer no more than nine semester hours of recent and approved graduate credit or credit as an unclassified student to their Master's degree program. Recent credit is defined as approved graduate coursework completed within six years of date of graduation from the Department of Counseling and Human Services. Requests to transfer courses should discussed with your academic adviser and then be submitted to the Departmental Administrative Assistant who will forward the requests to the Chair, Department of Counseling and Human Services for approval.
All requests for transfer credits and credits for courses taken as an unclassified student must be approved by the student's adviser, the CHS Department Chair and the Dean of the College of Education as well as the Dean of Graduate School. Students must ensure that their transfer/unclassified credit hours meet the Graduate School requirements and are approved at all levels. Students should seek approval for these courses early in their degree program.
In summary, nine semester hours of faculty approved transfer/unclassified credit may be applied toward the on-campus degree program. The following courses are the only ones that may be taken as an Unclassified Student:
The Department of Counseling and Human Services offers an early admissions process that will make successful candidates eligible for early admission before the end of the fall semester. Each year, the department selects 50 candidates, 25 for the day and 25 for the evening cohort. The early admissions process creates a window, in the fall semester, for a small number of the admissions spaces to be filled early. This provides an opportunity to secure your space in our next cohort as well as the ability to take select classes as an admitted student prior to the beginning of the summer cohort. The early admission will occur annually near the end of the fall semester.
Below are some important dates:
Application Deadline for Early Admission: November 1
Early Admission On-Campus Group Interview Process: This event will generally take place the first Friday in December from approximately 8:30am – 2:00pm.
The Student Resource Office will send all inquiries/applicants an email confirming the date and time and location.
Spaces are limited so apply now!
What are the Requirements for Early Admission?
All standard application requirements are in effect for early admission applicants such as undergraduate transcripts, goal statement, letters of rec, background check, completion of graduate school application, and GRE/MAT scores (waived if you have a Masters degree). Eligible students must have a Bachelors degree and all application materials must be completed by November 1, 2013. For questions regarding the application process, please contact the Student Resource Office (SRO) at 719-255-4996 or email@example.com. Applicants will be required to attend an on-campus interview process with department faculty Nov 22, 2013, 8:30am to 1:00pm. The SRO will be in contact with applicants regarding specific information about the on-campus interview process.
As slots are limited, not all applicants are guaranteed to be selected. Applicants who are not selected will have their applications forwarded to the Spring admissions process which allows students to be eligible to apply for admittance into the cohort beginning Summer 2014. Students who are not selected for early admission are also eligible to take courses as an unclassified student during the Spring semester and then can seek admittance during the spring application process for the next available cohort.
November 1 (Early application deadline for spring semester available every fall)
January 28 (Regular Admission for annual cohort)

Ethan Frome
by Edith Wharton
Mattie Silver
Character Analysis
Because we see Mattie only though Ethan's (and the narrator's) eyes, and only hear her thoughts if she speaks them, she remains a rather mysterious character. Let's dig a little deeper into Mattie's character and see what we can learn.
It's A Hard-Knock Life
Remember how Ethan hates to see anyone or anything treated meanly? This plays a part in his attraction to Mattie. People are mean to her and mistreat her. Her own family mistreats her at the time when she needs support the most. Twenty-year-old Mattie just lost both of her parents. All they left her was 50 dollars.
So why all the animosity toward this young lady? Apparently Mattie's father, who found wealth and power, had stolen from the very relatives on whom Mattie is now dependent. They want to punish Mattie for the fact that her father became wealthy, and doubly so for stealing from them to do it. They send her to take care of Zeena Frome, her ill cousin.
Based on her family's wealth, we can assume that Mattie was raised with advantages that Zeena and Ethan didn't have, though it doesn't seem that she has any education (according to Ethan, learning accounting almost kills her). She was most likely raised to be a happy-go-lucky young lady and eventually a wife. Yet, she's not spoiled and doesn't shy away from hard work. She doesn't see herself as superior to Ethan and Zeena because of her wealthier background.
Mattie changed from pampered daughter to a young woman dependent on a hostile world for survival. But, while Mattie's external circumstances have changed for the worse, she seems to be the same kind and unspoiled person she was when her parents were alive. Her changed circumstances don't seem to have hardened her heart – until after the accident.
Then again, some readers and critics see Mattie as frivolous and immature. In characteristic Shmoop fashion, we both agree and disagree. First of all, she's only about twenty-one, has little or no education, and very limited experience. It makes sense that she's a bit frivolous and immature. She wants to have fun, to frolic and play, and to have romance – though only, it seems, with Ethan. But what's your opinion?
Mattie in Love
As a young woman, Mattie seems to be truly in love with Ethan. Everything from turning down Denis Eady to declaring her love indicates that her affection for Ethan is sincere. If she simply wanted an easy way out of poverty, she could have married Denis Eady and been mistress to the Eady grocery fortune.
What we don't know is how Mattie feels about Ethan after the accident. That is, did she fall out of love with Ethan, or does she continue to love him even at the story's close? That we can't answer this question is part of what gives Ethan Frome its sense of tragedy. If Ethan and Mattie are still in love and still living with Zeena, then it sounds like the situation is truly awful. If they are no longer in love, that's perhaps even worse.
Mattie's Decision to Commit Suicide
It's not Ethan but Mattie who initially suggests the suicide. Did this surprise you? This moment opens up her character. Just before, we learn that Mattie had fantasized about running away with Ethan some eight or nine months ago. Until now, Ethan (and us, the reader) hasn't know how she really feels about him. Now we understand that Mattie really wants to be with Ethan. Furthermore, she'd rather die than be without him. Since we can't track Mattie's inner movement to this point, we can't say whether the idea of suicide came upon her all the sudden, or if she had been considering it all along.
We know that Mattie was afraid Zeena was suspicious, and we know Mattie doesn't have anywhere else to go. She was probably way ahead of Ethan in seeing the hopelessness of their situation. That is, she probably already predicted that Ethan wouldn't or couldn't run away with her. Being a single woman with no money and virtually no education would be rough going. This story seems to be showing us how limited the options were for women in the Victorian period.
Mattie's Final Transformations
When we meet Mattie in the Epilogue, we see that her physical transformation is even more drastic than Ethan's. Mattie would only be about 45 years old at the end of the book, but is described as having not only aged drastically, but also of having "soured." According to Ruth, nobody was "sweeter" than Mattie before the accident. While the accident physically injured Ethan, and the events injured his heart and soul, he is still the sweet, kind, gentle man with whom Mattie Silver fell in love.
Mattie, however, is completely changed. Whereas she used to be the complete opposite of Zeena (see "Character Roles" and "Character Clues"), she has become almost exactly like Zeena. This transformation is foreshadowed in the scene where Mattie and Ethan have their night alone. Ethan suggests that Mattie sit in Zeena's chair, so he can see her better, but it doesn't work out quite the way he planned:
Ethan had a momentary shock. It was almost as if the other face, the face of the superseded woman, had obliterated that of the intruder. (5.3)
In other words, Ethan sees the face of Zeena ("the face of the superseded") remove from existence the face of Mattie ("the intruder"). Like most of the foreshadowing in this book, it only partially comes true. Mattie becomes prematurely aged, chronically ill, and chronically faultfinding, very much like Zeena was for much of her marriage to Ethan. But there is one big difference. Zeena was mostly silent. That's what the biggest problem was for Ethan. Transformed Mattie, on the other hand, is described as "droning querulously" (Prologue.62). In other words, she talks on and on and on in a grumpy, complaining, and argumentative way. So, like all the foreshadowing of the death, the foreshadowing of Mattie turning into Zeena only partially comes true.

Too often San Jose is a forgotten city, lost in the shadow of San Francisco. So Rose Garden resident Norman Kline decided about a year ago that it was time to show San Jose residents and the rest of the country exactly how rich the city is in culture, growth, vitality and the arts.
Kline, the CEO of Libraryworld and a San Jose planning commissioner, took his idea to Suzanne St. John-Crane; CEO of CreaTV San Jose, who said she thought it would be a great idea. He would raise the funds, and she would provide the equipment and ask documentary producer and Emmy nominee Tricia Creason-Valencia to work as director and producer.
"The subject has been broached five or six times in the past, but it was Kline who raised the money to get the project going," says St. John Crane.
Reminiscent of a Ken Burns documentary--although done on a much more limited $200,000 budget--the 80-minute film will premiere at the California Theater on Oct. 29. Interviews with prominent San Joseans began May 5 and were completed Aug. 5. The principals are now editing.
"It's a history of our time, and it's people-driven," says Kline. "We've learned so much."
The film begins with the Ohlone Indians and will continue up until about the year 2000. It will show the various immigrants to the area, the mixtures of Spanish, Mexican, Irish and Italian immigrants as well as the various families that made their homes here.
It also will explore the valley's movement from agriculture to mercury for the gold rush to semiconductors to the new, expanding generations of technology, with particular focus on the expansive growth under city manager "Dutch" Hamann in the 1950s and '60s.
Among the elements of the documentary are stories of the early families, says Kline. One interview is with Norm Mineta, who as a 19-year-old was sent to an internment camp during World War II. He discusses what it was like in those camps as well as returning to San Jose and finding help from friends and neighbors after the war. Mineta also has had a long career as a politician, serving as San Jose mayor, U.S. representative and U.S. transportation secretary.
Other parts of the documentary will feature the women's movement and the women who guided the city through the hectic 1980s and '90s and were the force behind San Jose being named the feminist capital of the world. Some of the most prominent women include the city's first female mayor, Janet Gray Hayes, and its second, Susan Hammer, as well as Blanca Alvarado, the city's first Latina councilwoman and county supervisor.
"My vision is a lot of big scenes. San Jose is a city of innovation," says Creason-Valencia. "The documentary will explore the politics of the area and how policy was shaped. This city was a cradle for civil rights and immigration."
"It's going to show San Jose as a multicultural city--a city that grew fast and brought in lots of new people with new and interesting ideas, a city that is the richest, happiest, healthiest and best educated in the country," says Kline.
"I'm excited about what we've seen and heard so far," says St. John-Crane. "San Jose is a fascinating mixing pot, and the depth and breadth of the documentary makes it fun to be a part of. It's a creative product that will make San Joseans proud and will attract people from outside our community."
The move features historical documents, maps, artifacts and photos from History San Jose, which houses more than a half-million objects related to the city's history. The staff there is trying to match many of its artifacts to items mentioned in the movie.
A lot of the interviews were filmed in the historical buildings at History Park San Jose and the Fallon House, says Alida Bray, president and CEO of History San Jose. "The film is a great medium to bring together all this history and information in one place. This film will be a great boost for San Jose and a great opportunity to establish an identity and a sense of place for San Jose on a national level."
Strong support has led the producers to place the documentary into upcoming film festivals, especially San Jose's Cinequest. They also hope the movie will be used in schools.
Mike Pierce is director of photography, and Robert Barry composed the score. San Jose State professor emeritus Terry Christensen will narrate the political portions, and actor Peter Coyote will also provide voiceover.
Kline went to a number of companies and foundations to raise funds. Among the donors are the Knight Foundation, Cisco Systems, the Republic Family of Companies, Rotary of San Jose, the Sobrato Family Foundation, Silicon Valley Community Foundation, City National Bank, Barry Swenson Builder, David and Barbara Cohen and Lexus of Stevens Creek.

"Cool...I'm going on a road trip up the Dempster this summer with 3 other girls! Am just getting my ticket to Whitehorse right now." - Lesley
NOPE! This is a life altering trip, we are acting as pioneers to Canada's great north. We've rented an RV to travel Canada's ONLY highway to cross the Arctic Circle! We're adventurers seeking beautiful landscapes and unique destinations. We're interested in the people that shaped this land. This trip is at a time of year where the colors on the land are all changing and the sun never sets.
The friends I (Samantha) have invited on this trip have only one common bond right now, me! Will there be more commonalities as we all get to know each other?

Fracking Boom Has Provided Only a Modest Boost to U.S. Manufacturers
The fracking boom has driven down natural-gas prices but is having a "relatively small" impact on U.S. manufacturers, on the order of a 2% to 3% boost in activity across the sector, according to new research from the Federal Reserve.
"Although a few industries are expanding, as of yet there does not appear to be a large effect across the entire manufacturing sector," wrote Kenyon College economist William Melick in a discussion paper released by the Fed in June.
Fracking techniques in recent years have boosted domestic energy production, driving down natural-gas prices. Cheaper natural gas and electricity, in turn, should encourage investment in energy-intensive manufacturing activities, though it likely wouldn't drive construction of many new plants on its own.
Mr. Melick analyzed data from the Energy and Commerce departments to track the effects of cheaper natural gas on the U.S. manufacturing sector since 2006. He found that "capital expenditure, industrial production, and employment have increased with the drop in the relative price of natural gas, and these increases are statistically significant."
The effect was large in the most energy-intensive fields, such as production of nitrogen-based fertilizers. But "across the manufacturing sector as a whole, represented by the weighted average responses, the effects are quite modest, with capital expenditure increasing no more than 10 percent, production increasing less than 3 percent, and employment increasing less than 2 percent," he wrote.
Outside of the heaviest energy users, the effects were "not trivial but by no means overwhelming," with the overall manufacturing sector set to see "a relatively small impact" from the energy boom, Mr. Melick concluded.
Still, he said, that could change in the coming years as the benefits of cheap gas trickle down to more firms. "Perhaps the impact of the energy boom has yet to appear in the lagging data or yet to fully play out, calling for continued monitoring and analysis of developments in the manufacturing sector," he wrote.

Post-Game Notes: Panthers 5, Maple Leafs 3
All of the interesting notes from the Panthers fourth straight road victory.
Tuesday, 02.28.2012 / 10:21 PM ET / News
By Carly Peters - FloridaPanthers.com
|The Panthers celebrate won of their five goals against the Maple Leafs at Air Canada Centre. It's the third time this season that the Panthers have recorded five goals against the Leafs (Getty Images)
Florida now owns a six-game point streak against Toronto (5-0-1), outscoring the Leafs 26-12 in that span. Florida moved to 12-3-2 vs. Toronto since 2008. The Panthers also scored five goals against the Leafs for the third time in as many games this season (15-7).
According to Elias Sports Bureau, Florida's two goals 2:21 into the game were the fastest two goals to start an away game in Panthers franchise history. Florida scored twice in the opening 2:44 of a 6-5 OT loss in New Jersey on Oct. 30, 2000 and scored twice in 1:42 of a 4-3 loss to Carolina in Sunrise on Dec. 15, 2010.
The Panthers matched their season high with their fourth straight road win (Oct. 29-Nov. 15).
Florida stretched its lead in the Southeast Division to three points, as Washington forced overtime by scoring with 25 seconds left in regulation on home ice, before topping the Islanders in the extra session to jump past idle Winnipeg. The Panthers have now been in first for 89 days this season.
The Panthers moved to 3-0-0 since mounting a third-period comeback to earn a shootout win in Carolina Saturday.
The Panthers scored at least five goals for the first time since Dec. 27 – the last time they faced the Maple Leafs.
Marcel Goc's goal 13 seconds into the game was the Panthers quickest goal to start any period this season. It was just :03 shy of the franchise record for both fastest Florida goal into a game and fastest goal into a period (:10, Johan Garpenlov at COL – 10/17/96).
The Panthers moved to 11-2-2 against Canadian opponents this season, including a 5-1-1 record north of the border.
With two goals, Mike Santorelli notched his first multi-point game of the season and matched his career high of two goals in a game (2-0-2) at the Islanders on Nov. 20, 2010.
With a goal on the night, Stephen Weiss now has eight points (3-5-8) in his last nine games and is T-2nd on the Panthers with 46 points (16-30-46) in 60 games this year. The Toronto native has 23 points (9-14-23) in 30 career games against the Maple Leafs.
Sean Bergenheim tallied an assist and now has five points (2-3-5) in his last four games, 12 points (7-5-12) in his last 14 and 15 points (10-5-15) in his last 18 games. In just 42 games this season, he's totaled 19 points (14-5-19) – only one goal shy of his career high of 15 set in 59 games with the Islanders in 2008-09.
Erik Gudbranson notched a career-high +2 rating, his first assist in eight games and three blocked shots.
After leading all NHL defensemen in goals for most of the season, Jason Garrison moved back into a tie for first with his 14th marker of the season, scoring on a wrist shot from the circle – his first goal that hasn't been a slapshot from the point.
Florida moved to 21-2-7 when scoring a power-play goal. The Panthers scored at least two power-play goals for the first time since Dec. 27 - the last time they faced the Leafs.
The Panthers moved to 24-3-4 when tallying at least three goals this season (including shootouts).
Florida is now 18-1-4 when leading after two periods and 11-2-3 when leading after the first period.
Jose Theodore allowed more than two goals for the first time in seven appearances (six starts) since missing four games with a knee injury to begin the month.
Marcel Goc's goal ended a three-game point drought, but he now has five points (1-4-5) in his last seven games and seven points (1-6-7) in his last 10 games. It was his first goal since netting two points (1-1-2) at Colorado on Jan. 18.
Brian Campbell has six points (1-5-6) in his last eight games and is second among all NHL defensemen with 43 points (4-39-43) in 62 games this season. He's now totaled 25 points (5-20-25) in 39 games vs. Toronto.
With an assist, Tomas Fleischmann has eight points (3-5-8) in his last 10 games and 12 points (5-7-12) in his last 14 contests.
Wojetk Wolski earned the lone assist on Goc's goal, as he now has two points (1-1-2) in three games with the Panthers since being acquired from the Rangers on Saturday. Throughout his career, he has performed well after late-season trades – he notched 18 points (6-12-18) in 18 games to end the 2009-10 season with Phoenix after being moved from Colorado and posted 19 points (6-13-19) in 37 games with the Rangers to finish the 2010-11 season after starting the year with Phoenix.
The Panthers scored the opening goal for just the fourth time in their last 12 games. Florida is now 19-2-7 when scoring the game's first goal.
Marcel Goc returned to the lineup after missing three games with a lower-body injury. John Madden returned to the lineup after missing four games with a lower-body injury (plus a healthy scratch Sunday).
Kris Versteeg did not join the Panthers on the road trip due to a lower-body injury. Tomas Kopecky did not dress for tonight's game due to injury. The Panthers have now lost 279 man games to injury this season.
The Panthers head to Winnipeg and return to action when they face the Jets in a first-place showdown Thursday at 8:30 ET on FOX Sports Florida and 560 WQAM.

Famed dive bar the C.C. Club sold to French Meadow
CHRIS RIEMENSCHNEIDER and MICHAEL RIETMULDER | Updated 1/17/2013
Parking space was part of the incentive for the new owners, who say they don't plan to mess with the bar's, ahem, integrity.
Smoking bans hurt the C.C. Club's business, but its new owners hope to keep the place lit-up as-is.
A bar that's a big part of Replacements lore and a mainstay of Uptown area Minneapolis hipsters for as long as there has been Uptown area hipsters, the C.C. Club has been sold to the owners of the neighboring French Meadow Bakery. The new bosses clearly hope to nip any and all cries of gentrification in the bud, however, by promising not to mess with the bar's, um… timeless character.
"We view the C.C. Club as a neighborhood landmark supported by a loyal clientele and a dedicated staff, some of whom have worked at the bar for over 30 years," French Meadow co-owner Lynn Gordon is quoted in the release. "We plan to maintain and continue the C.C.'s traditions, and the best way we thought we could do this was to continue neighborhood ownership. This will assure that 26th and Lyndale remains the home to both these unique businesses."
One big reason Gordon and her partner, Steve Shapiro, coveted the C.C. was to also get their hands on the adjoining parking lot to use for both businesses. The bar originally dates back to the end of Prohibition and was owned for the past 28 years by Mo and Sharon Emard and Linda Rauen. Like a lot of bars of this variety, its business lagged when the city and state smoking bans in the mid-2000s, but has nonetheless remained a popular watering hole.
As rumors swirled last month about the bar's sale and possible closing, both sides denied their legitimacy. However, in an interview Tuesday, Gordon said negotiations started three months ago. Gordon admitted that there was some talk of using the space for something other than the C.C. Club at some point. But boisterous community outcry amid the rumors laid any such notions to rest.
"It became very clear that the C.C. is a culture all its own and has a loyal following," she said.
Mo Emard said Tuesday that he and Sharon plan to stay on for another 60 days during the transition, training in Gordon's son, Jay Gordon, who will manage the bar. The new owners were introduced to C.C. staffers Monday in what sounds like an emotional meeting. "There were a few tears yesterday with the staff," Moe said.
Gordon said the official closing date is still a month or two away and that she hopes to retain all the current staff.
"It's just so clear that it needs to be the C.C. forever," she said. "So, it's my job, just as a curator would do of a museum, it's my job to protect it and not try to fix something that isn't broken."
As for the Replacements tie-ins, Paul Westerberg was one of countless Twin Cities music vets who used to live near the C.C. and used it as inspiration for the "Tim" album's classic downer closer "Here Comes a Regular." It's also where the replacement drummer on the band's last tour, the late Steve Foley, earned the gig after randomly running into Westerberg there. You're more likely to see Westerberg next door at French Meadow nowadays, though.

Lindsay Lohan's Docu-Series Gets Premiere Date, Oprah Winfrey Admits LiLo Is Difficult to Work With
OWN has set a premiere date for Lindsay Lohan's documentary series. Billed as an eight-episode reality series, the show that follows the former Disney star since she's released from rehab will debut Sunday, March 9 at 10 P.M.
Oprah Winfrey put a lot of trust in the troubled starlet. Scoring the first interview with Lohan after her 90-day court-mandated rehab, the former daytime talk show queen reportedly offered LiLo $2 million for the docu-series.
Her trust was tested as the "Liz & Dick" actress proved to be difficult to work with. In a sneak peek revealed at the TCA winter press tour on January 9, OWN president Sheri Salata says that Lohan often shuts out the crew.
"This is exactly what everybody said was going to happen and I believed differently," Winfrey says in the teaser. "She doesn't understand. This is her life - you think you have forever." She tells Lohan, "My truth is I really do want you to win...but if that isn't what you want I'm okay with that. I will tell these guys to pack up and leave today."
Lohan herself realizes, "I know this is my last shot at doing what I have to do." But judging from her sober coach's answer ("Um ... you know") when asked if the 27-year-old has kept away from alcohol, it looks like she still has a long way to sobriety.
Titled "Lindsay", the show offers a "strikingly candid" look at Lohan as she returns to New York and reunites with friends and family all the while attempting to build her new life while living in the spotlight. It also sees the "Mean Girls" star "discussing everything from her emotional recovery process to her exhausting run-ins with the paparazzi."

News 12 at 6 o'clock, April 08, 2008 (Updated April 9)
AUGUSTA, Ga.---Augusta native Sting-Ray Whitfield brought home a win Wednesday night in front of a packed Bell Auditorium.
Whitfield beat out Manuel Vargas in front of his home-town fans. 'Sting-Ray' , as he's called, is still holding onto his undefeated record, making him 21 and 0 in his pro fights.
His win makes him one step closer to a shot at a world title.
ESPN 2 broadcast the fight in nearly 95 million homes.
The fight brought worldwide attention to Augusta. Building up to the fight, it was being called a do or die match.
"You're looking at a situation where Ray's gonna be the top dog by winning this match. He's fighting for a world championship," said Tom Moraetes, \Whitfield's chief trainer.
It all took place just hours before the first round of the Masters Tournament.
"Every time I go away people say, 'You from the city where the Masters at', and being a part of this week, bringing ESPN here to my hometown, and performing here means a lot to me," said Whitfield.
It means a lot to him, and to fans like Ronnie Russell. "Oh, it's wonderful. I'm glad he bringing it back to Augusta. I'm just real glad to see him fight," said Ronnie.
The undefeated Augusta native and his top 10 contender weighed in Tuesday. The match will be broadcast to more than 95 million homes.
"Oh yeah, he's got my 100% support," said Ronnie. And just to prove it, Ronnie scooped up at least a dozen tickets with plans of making the night a family affair.
"Yes...cousins, all cousins. We love each other, and we love to do stuff with each other, and this something that we enjoy doing and hopefully we see a win tomorrow night," said Ronnie.

Gross lending hits £12.7bn in March, BoE
Gross mortgage lending secured on properties was £12.7bn in March compared to the previous six-month average of £12.4bn, data from the Bank of England has revealed.
Its Lending to individuals data, published today (2 May), showed repayments in March were £11.6bn which is in line with the previous six-month average.
The number of loan approvals increased marginally in March to 49,860 but was lower than the previous six-month average of 53,103.
The number of approvals for remortgaging 29,511 also increased in March to 29,511 but was lower than the previous six-month average of 31,799.
Think-tank Capital Economics, warned that it was "doubtful" as to whether mortgage lending will now mount a sustained recovery.
Samuel Tombs, UK economist at Capital Economics, said: "Today's UK money and lending figures suggest that the banking system remains a significant constraint on the pace of economic recovery.
"Granted, the number of mortgages approved for new house purchase rose from 49,000 to 49,900 in March.
"Nonetheless, this still leaves them lower than the levels seen in the second half of last year."
He highlighted that although the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors recently reported that new buyer enquiries picked up in March, "credit conditions are continuing to tighten and news of the return to recession can only have dampened consumer confidence"
Mr Tombs said: "Meanwhile, both the money supply and bank lending posted sharp monthly falls of 0.8 per cent and 0.5 per cent respectively in March. This sent the annual growth of both to new record lows.
"Finally, the CIPS/Markit construction PMI fell from 56.7 to 55.8 in March, adding to signs that the economy started the second quarter on a weaker footing."
David Marina, an independent mortgage broker at M&P Money Management, believes house purchases are likely to plateau at this level for the rest of 2012.
He highlighted that there has been a drop-off in activity since the stamp duty holiday ended and although demand from first time buyers has not fallen off a cliff but "it has slowed noticeably of late".
Mr Marina said: "The lack of activity at the foot of the property ladder will, of course, ripple up. That's the worry for the broader market.
"Looking forward, it's going to be another indifferent year for the mortgage and property market."

Preseason World Tour Finally Reaches Its End
The games start counting tomorrow as the Kings take on the Rangers
Thursday, 10.6.2011 / 2:34 PM PT / Los Angeles Kings | News
By Rich Hammond
"The time is upon us. Enough make-believe. It's time for the real thing," winger Justin Williams said with a laugh. "We're excited. Our summers have been too long and there's been too much working out and too much waiting for the season to start. I'm really excited to get going."
The Kings open their season on Friday -- 10 a.m. Pacific time -- with a game against the New York Rangers at the Ericsson Globe in Stockholm. It's the first of a two-game European set, with a game against the Buffalo Sabres in Berlin coming up Saturday morning.
And so a season of great expectations begins, one that sees the Kings potentially contending for the Pacific Divison title if things break correctly. It didn't take long, though, for the first hurdle.
After Thursday's practice, coach Terry Murray said first-line winger Dustin Penner would be unavailable for Friday's game. Penner has been in and out of practice -- he also missed Tuesday's exhibition game -- with what Murray will describe only as a "lower-body injury."
Penner skated in the early part of Thursday's practice but left the ice early.
"Dustin Penner is still feeling, not feeling great,'' Murray said. "He's probably about 80 percent. It's going to take some time. He's not going to be ready for tomorrow. We'll just continue the rehab and get him some ice time and continue to push it until he feels comfortable."
The rest of the team, it seems, is ready to go. The Kings will go with lines of Anze Kopitar centering Simon Gagne and Williams, with Mike Richards centering Brad Richardson and Dustin Brown, with Jarret Stoll centering Scott Parse and Trent Hunter, and with Trevor Lewis centering Kyle Clifford and Ethan Moreau.
On defense, the Kings will go with the pairs they used for much of last season: Willie Mitchell and Drew Doughty, Rob Scuderi and Jack Johnson, and Alec Martinez and Matt Greene. Jonathan Quick gets the start in goal.
Other good news: the jet lag appears to be wearing off. The Kings arrived in Europe on Sunday night, played Tuesday night and had a day off Wednesday, which appears to have done the team good.
"I think yesterday was a good day for me," Williams said. "I got to bed at midnight, got some good rest, got up at a decent hour today and I feel like I'm kind of on schedule now. I think they say it's an hour per day per time zone, or something like that. We're ready to rock."
The Kings face back-to-back games the next two days, then don't play again for five days, which will make it interesting to see who Murray goes with in goal against Buffalo on Saturday.
Normally, the Kings might split the games between Quick and Jonathan Bernier in goal. But given the extra days off, and Murray's recent declaration that he wouldn't maintain a strict schedule with the goalies, the coach wouldn't tip his hand in terms of Saturday's starter.
"The only thing I'm going to say is that Quick is going to start the game tomorrow, will play the game tomorrow," Murray said. "We talked back home, in the early part of the training camp, where I've said that I'm not going to lock myself in, to where i have designated games for the goaltenders. I'm going to play it out right here at the start of the year. Everything is so critical. If we get a goaltender that's on a roll, to me that's going to be the right way to go."
Doughty missed the first two weeks of training camp, as he didn't have a new contract until Sept. 29, and appeared in only one preseson game and a handful of practices, but Doughty seems ready to go.
Murray said he would not limit Doughty's minutes in the season opener or hesitate to use him in any situations, particularly as the quarterback of the top power-play unit.
"I had a conversation with Drew the other day, after his game (in Hamburg) and asked him how he was doing, how he was feeling," Murray said. "He felt very comfortable in the exhibition game against Hamburg. I have confidence that he's going to be able to log the minutes that we need to have from him. He's energized. He's really enthusiastic.
"He's excited about his new deal, about being part of the team again with a long-term commitment. Again, he's very energized, and we'll take advantage of that. He's a great player and we'll get him the minutes that we feel we need to get from him in this first game against the Rangers."

For four generations, the Fargher name has been synonymous with wool production in the Flinders Ranges of South Australia. About 500 kilometres north of Adelaide and a few minutes' drive from the old copper-mining town of Blinman, the family's Angorichina Station forms part of the Oratunga lease, which has a carrying capacity of 9500 sheep, covers some 554 square kilometres, and incorporates Angorichina, Artimore and the original Oratunga run, taken up by current owner Ian Fargher's great-grandfather, John William Fargher.
The Angorichina lease was first worked in the 1850s during a period of rapid expansion in the Flinders Ranges. Robert 'Peg Leg' Blinman became the official discoverer of the extensive Blinman copper deposit when he was watching sheep on Angorichina.
As the town expanded around the mine, so too did Angorichina, which was taken over by Henry C. Swan in 1862. By 1877 the station was carrying almost 14,000 sheep and 250 head of cattle. The lease changed hands numerous times over the next few years, until bought by the Fargher family.
Ian couldn't wait to get home to the property once he had completed his secondary education at Adelaide's Scotch College. In a well-managed generational handing-on, he gradually took over the running of the property from his father Max, becoming the boss in 1982 when his parents moved to a grazing property between Coonalpyn and Meningie in south-east South Australia. Ian and Di settled into life at Angorichina with their two young children, Prue and Alice, and meanwhile, Ian's brother Ross married Di's sister Jane, taking over Nilpena Station, which the Farghers had bought that same year.
Then the long drought started.
