The Federal Reserve could raise rates by the end of 2011, far sooner than expected by financial markets, according to comments by a senior Fed official in the Wall Street Journal on Thursday.
Minneapolis Federal Reserve President Narayana Kocherlakota signalled the Fed could raise benchmark borrowing costs, which are now close to zero, by three-quarters of a percentage point by the end of the year, the newspaper said.
The US economy should grow by 3.0 per cent this year, Kocherlakota said.
The Fed cut rates to near zero in December 2008. After buying $US1.7 trillion in securities to help pull the economy out of recession, it launched a fresh $US600 billion bond buying program in November last year to support the recovery.
That program should end as scheduled mid-year this year, Kocherlakota said in an interview. Kocherlakota, a voter on the Fed's policy-setting panel this year, is considered one of the stronger anti-inflation hawks on the panel and his willingness to support the latest easing initiative came as a surprise to many.
In recent days some of the other Fed hawks have been voiced scepticism about the US central bank's ultra-loose monetary policy and have suggested it should begin to tighten financial conditions before an inflationary psychology takes root.
The Minneapolis Fed president said he was surprised at the impact that bond-buying program has had, not only in boosting the economy, but also in stoking inflation expectations.
If underlying inflation rises to about 1.3 per cent by the end of the year, the so-called Taylor rule that describes how policy-makers should calibrate interest rates in responses to changes in employment and employment, would call for a three-quarters percentage point increase in rates, he said.
"That means you should be raising the target rate by more than 50 basis points," he said.

Sudden palpitation
My wife has hypothyroidism. Sometimes her heart rate increases all of a sudden and she starts to panic. It will last for 30-40secs and will get normal. Wanted to know if this is normal for people having thyroid issue

Hi there...Sometimes patients with thyroid disorders can get palpitations. But it is always safe to rule out other causes of palpitations also like anemia, arrhythmia, stress, heart defects, etc. Kindly consult a general physician or cardiologist with your thyroid function tests reports and the medications you are on, for further evaluation.

Dining chair used at Kuni's Japanese Restaurant, Melbourne, during the 1970s. Kuni's Japanese restaurant was opened in 1977 by Japanese migrant Kunihiro Ichikawa, who arrived in Melbourne as a student in 1974. It has remained one of Melbourne's earliest and longest running Japanese restaurants and Kunihiro's continued involvement has overseen the maintenance of Japanese cultural traditions through its menu, cooking style, interior design and methods of food presentation and service.
Description of Content
Brown leather photo album with Egyptian design images etched in relief on front and back covers. Tan leather edging around cover. Inside front and back cover have stippled surfaces. Inside spine bound with brown leather strap threaded through two punch holes. 15 single sided stiff black card pages, each with four small sepia photographs attached with four brown paper photo corners. Each page has a title, date and each image a caption, all hand written in white ink. Every page is interleaved with off white (discoloured) tissue paper. The album commences at Tilbury dock, London, 25/2/1947 and progresses through Gibralta, north African coast, Port Said, Suez Canal, Aden, Ceylon (Colombo and Candy), Perth, and concludes in Melbourne at Warburton and Albert Park Lake, 27/3/1947. Images also include deck scenes and activities, and images of George Palmer, his wife Gertie and their daughters, Shirley and Lesley.
Physical Description
Pine wooden chair with brown vinyl seat.
This collection represents one story within the important cultural and social narrative of the evolution of food and cooking traditions in Melbourne. These traditions have been particularly influenced over time by waves of migration and the gradually evolving sophistication of the local palate. These small businesses have also provided a significant way migrants have supported families and established themselves in the community.

Author's note: Due to various life situations I have been unable to continue my updates for a while. I fully plan on doing so this week, but the lack of reviews makes it difficult to stay motivated to write. Thank you to all of you have been reading my works and thank you to those who have reviewed.
I would love to see my reviews at least make it into the hundred mark, but I guess my stories just don't do it for you all. I will leave up what I have posted so far, but I have lost interest in WOD, so I will be discontinuing it. I will revisit The White Knight and The Wildest of Dreams: Summer of New Beginnings. I hope to see reviews but if not I guess I'll just move on to my new stories. I have one called "Then & Now" and another called "Bedside Manner" and a third yet to be posted. Please be kind and review.

NZD/JPY: Trade ideas for July 24
By Felipe Erazo
The NZDJPY has reacted in a negative way to the publication of the Bank of New Zealand about the increase in interest rates to 3.50%, so this pair is conducting a breakout in the support level of 87.36, which is below the 500 EMA. The next goal would be the support level of 86.94 on the H4 chart.
However, we must stress that the NZDJPY could perform a bullish rebound at current levels and rising again to the resistance level of 88.14, because the support level of 97.36 has showed much strength in the past. If NZDJPY manages to make a breakout at the level of 86.94, it's expected to fall to the level of 86.22.
Trading recommendations: Place sell orders if the NZDJPY does a breakout at the support level of 86.94, with take profit at 86.22. Also, you can place buy orders of the NZDJPY performs a rebound at current levels with take profit at the resistance level of 88.14.

Have a full glass of water or iced tea or a beverage that's not very sweet, before you order .
It'll help digest your meal and also fill you up a bit, so you don't feel as hungry.
Before your main course, order a soup, and try to have a salad for your main course.
When ordering soup, remember that a cream-based soup is more fattening than a clear soup. Ask for that instead. The same way, cream based-sauces, used in pasta or other dishes, are higher in calories than tomato-based ones.
Try to order before other people do, and if you're not having a salad for your main course, try and split it with someone.
Have breadsticks instead of bread – they help you avoid oil and butter.
Have a big lunch.
It keeps you full for the major part of the day and gets digested more easily, so you can have a light dinner and feel full more quickly if you're dining out. Also remember to eat slowly, and stop when you're full.
Avoid cakes, pastries and ice cream – have fruits for dessert.

Shrek woke up in the middle of the night, having trouble sleeping. He sat up straight and once again heard the roaring sound of Willa's snoring. Then, he stood up and looked into the sky. A shooting star rushed past, and Shrek made a wish, "I wish I was human," He hoped. All of a sudden, a clumsy fairy appeared. "Hello there, cutie! Pick your potion!" the fairy's squeaky voice exclaimed. "Huh?" Shrek mystified. "You want to be human! I can help you! Now, pick your potion. There is, the muscular human. There is, the geeky human. There is, the normal human. And last, but certainly not least, there is the handsome or pretty human," explained the fairy. "Uh… who are you?" asked Shrek. "Me," the fairy laughed. "I'm Fairy Lulu. I can make all your dreams reality." Fairy Lulu said. "Oh… um," Shrek stuttered, unsure of what to do. "Don't worry honey, just, choose a potion. And you'll become a human like that!" exclaimed Lulu, snapping her fingers. "Alright, alright. I pick the handsome human." Shrek said. With a snap of Lulu's finger and a drizzle of "handsome human" potion on Shrek's hands, Shrek immediately become… a human! His fat legs turned into strong ones, his body became muscular, his hands and feet became big and brawny and last, his face. Brown thick hair covered his previously bald head. His beady eyes widened and turned to light brown, his green skin turned to peach and his nose shrunk down two sizes, leaving him with a beautiful face. Then in the blink of an eye, Fairy Lulu disappeared.
The next morning, bees or birds did NOT awaken Shrek. He was awakened by Monkey's booming shriek. Shrek rubbed his eyes, as did Willa. She turned around and looked at him, screaming along with Monkey. "Shrek! Get over here! There's a man sleeping on your vest!" screeched Monkey. "Calm down, Monkey, it's me, Shrek! I'm human now." Shrek said, standing up, showing off his figure. "What? How? When? WHO?" shouted Monkey. Shrek ignored Monkey's annoying questions and stood up. "I think it's time we head back to the palace, once and for all," Shrek said. He picked up his vest and slid it onto his muscular body. "Oh… y-yeah, o-o-okay," Monkey stuttered. Princess Willa crinkled her eyebrows and finger-combed her long silky brown hair. She stood up and caught up to Shrek and Monkey.

The landlord does not accept the following in this place:
If your next stop on the Erasmus program is Milan, check out this studio flat. Known as a city of taste in fashion and design, it also provides comfortable places to live in a great location. This property is located in Sesto San Giovanni and it features proximity to all types of commercial areas such as supermarkets, bars and restaurants. You will also be close to transport links that connect to the heart of the city and green areas such as Parco Nord Milano!
This a building that features a total of fourteen studio apartments, divided by six types: Expo Suite, Junior Suite, Comfort Suite – two beds, Comfort Suite, De luxe Suite and Deluxe suite – Superior - all with private bathrooms and extremely comfortable furniture. Here we're talking about the De-Luxe Suite. Of the three types of studio apartments, is the most spacious and the most reserved. The name "Superior" shows a complete and major restructuring with an high-quality finishing. Mechanical and electrical systems, bathroom, kitchen and finishing, all completely renovated.
The De-Luxe Suites consist of an entrance hall, a large bedroom area that hosts the sofa-bed, and a large bathroom with its own window. The kitchen area opens directly to the bedroom area.
Looks like no one had the time to review this place yet!
These conditions were defined by the Provider and are subject to change.
We have not verified this property yet. We are working on having it fully verified as soon as possible.
Getting Around
Your new neighbourhood
Sesto San Giovanni
Path to university
At Uniplaces we make the process of booking an apartment as easy as possible for both tenant and landlord.
That's why we have our own team of professional photographers that verify our properties and pick our landlords carefully in order to save time on viewings: we think it's old-fashioned and time-consuming.
You can look at forty different apartments on our platform in the same amount of time that it takes to see a room.
The pictures you see here haven't been photoshopped, so they'll be really accurate.
If you've still got any doubts, we'll keep the money that you transfer us until 24h after your move-in date.
If something's not exactly what you saw online, we'll help you move somewhere else and return your money.
We can only give you the contact details of your landlord after your booking is accepted. But we can guarantee that Uniplaces chooses the landlords it works with very carefully.
Besides, we've had students whose favourite part was living with a local!
Landlords and host families can be great city guides, help you out with translations and even become your friends.
As soon as your booking is accepted, you're given the landlord's contact details. Then, you can discuss all details directly with them, such as when you'll be moving-in.
Students move in and out at different times, so your flatmates might change during your stay.
It's a great opportunity to make new friends!
We personally speak to students who we place in Uniplaces apartments and are sure we will find the right place for you as well!
At the bottom of the property page, you have a calendar where you can see the availability of that room/apartment, according to the landlord.
But if you're still unsure about that we're happy to help.
Tell us your move-in and move-out dates and we will double-check if the place is available for you!
There are two different types of deposits: the Holding and Security deposits.
By clicking on "Deposit" at the bottom of the offer page you will get more information about each type of deposit.
In general, the deposit is paid to cover for any potential damages that may occur during your period of stay or will be used as rent compensation in case you leave earlier than originally planned.
If no damages occur and you leave on the agreed move-out date, your deposit should be refunded by the landlord in a way you both agree on.

Chapter 1
Seto grunted as he pushed the 5'11 raven-haired man against the wall of his small apartment which suspiciously reeked of instant ramen, something which made the brunet's noise wrinkle in disgust. The hot mouth against him moaned in ecstasy as Seto's wandering hand found a dusty brown nipple under the tight blood red T-shirt and pinched it slightly. With a swift movement of his foot the rickety door closed behind them with a soft bang.
Seto broke apart and started laying down kisses along the others unshaven jaw, nipping at the hard skin before licking at the junction between the neck and the shoulder. He felt the other man go weak in the knees and smirked before breaking apart, his hand lingering on the others painful erection perfectly visible through his dark blue jeans.
"Bedroom" He whispered huskily, his deep voice seductive and filled with lust, sending a shiver down the other's spine who hastily nodded. He unbuckled his jeans making them fall down with a plop, revealing two pale hairy legs and dark blue boxers with a tent.
Seto smirked and followed the other man into his small bedroom and closed the room, taking off his jacket along the way.
The brunet rolled his eyes in disgust seeing the pitiful expression on the other man's waist as he zipped up his pants and went to grab his jacket from the chair. The other lay on the small bed, on top of crimson bed sheets, sweaty and stomach covered with white cum. His legs lay tangled amongst the brown comforter as he looked on at the taller man with his brown eyes showcasing hurt.
"This never happened. You were just means of releasing my frustration" Seto turned as he opened the door.
"You're fired. Have your belongings gone before 10" With that he left the devastated raven behind, a satisfied look on his face and a smirk in place.
He flipped open his cell and dialed number 7.
"Have the limo sent to the apartment building on 5th Avenue, Street 7" Without waiting for a reply, he closed his phone and leaned against the wall and waited.
"Setooooo" Mokuba pouted, stretching out the last letter, with hands on his small hips. Seto sat beside him on the living room couch, laptop set in his lap and hands typing away at an alarming rate.
A slender brown eyebrow rose in acknowledgement, blue eyes firmly fixed onto the small screen.
"You're always working! It's not healthy." Mokuba stated, a concerned look in his onyx colored eyes.
"I'm touched by your concern. Now be quiet." Came the quiet yet sharp reply. Mokuba sighed, shoulder sagging as he leaned back into the sofa.
"You need a boyfriend!" This caught Seto's attention and he looked up momentarily before resuming his task. Mokuba sat up, having gotten an opening.
"I have no time for such nonsense."
"Eh?" Mokuba blinked before resigning to pouting at the ceiling above.
With a satisfied smile, Seto closed the laptop and turned to his 10 year old brother.
"Mokie up for some coffee?" He smirked as Mokuba practically jumped, coming back to life before sprinting away in search of his sneakers. Seto chuckled and stood up as well, stretching his tall broad 6'2 frame. Blue eyes rolled in amusement as Mokuba ran around the whole room in search of his shoes which had been beside the couch the whole time.
With a tinkle of the bell, Seto and Mokuba Kaiba entered 'Domino Coffee Tea and Company' and made their way to an empty table in the middle of the room. Being a Sunday and seeing that it was the winter season, the place was packed but knowing who they were, people automatically moved out of their way.
Mokuba sat down with a plop and grabbed the menu. Seto looked on curious.
"You always order the same thing, why different now?"
Mokuba just shrugged.
"I'll order, wait here." After receiving a nod, Seto stood up and made his way over the counter within three confident long strides, a stoic expression on his face. Blue eyes widened a fraction before coming back to their original place as he observed a new face behind the counter.
The person looked around 17 or 18, with a small frame of 5'5 with narrow shoulders and eve narrower hips. Golden blond hair graced the top of his head, complimenting his rather large amber eyes which twinkled in mirth. Smooth pale skin was exposed to everyone, no sign or trace of any blemish or pimples or scars. A cute small nose wrinkled in disgust, Seto assumed, as the blond took a guys order before turning away into the backdoor. The brunet's eyes widened as he noticed the blond wore Bermudas which ended right below his knees exposing very feminine legs that were unnaturally smooth for a teenage male.
He looked up when the blond returned carrying a few slices of blueberry cheesecake on a plate. Rather dark and plump lips grinned in a friendly way as the gorgeous blond collected the change, depositing it into the cash register before turning to him. Seto smirked slightly.
"Hi can I help you?" A soft voice complimented his features, Seto mused as he decided on his next lay.
"I didn't' know they let dogs work here now" The smile faltered, a scowl marring the blondes forehead.
"Hey! I'm no dog you jerk!" He huffed in a cute manner which made Seto roll his eyes.
"Your hair says otherwise. Where's your master? I wish to leave my order in capable hands" He smirked as he saw the blond flush in embarrassment.
"Why you-!" He however was cut off by a deep masculine voice.
"Katsuya Jounochi! You better not be chasing away our customers, again!" Someone called from the backdoor, in a very tired tone. Katsuya bit his lip before gritting his teeth and forcing a smile.
"What can I get you then, sir?"
"I prefer Master" Seto relished in the twitch he got from the blonds eyebrow.
"One Espresso, a Vanilla/Caramel Latte and 2 Blueberry muffins, puppy" The blond growled before nodding.
"That'll be $5.95, would you like to go or are you staying here?" Originally Seto had planned to go home but he felt a change in plans were in order.
"We're staying."
"Oh Joy." He heard the blond mutter and raised an eyebrow. The blond went away and came back his order.
"Good puppy" Seto chuckled, patting the blond's soft blond hair lightly before leaving with his order. He felt a glare on the back of his neck and smirked. The blond was feisty and he liked that.
He liked that a lot.
"Katsuya Jounouchi..." Kaiba murmured, liking the way it sounded from his lips. He chuckled as he saw his brother practically attack the muffins and sipped his hot Espresso silently.
Aiden Jounouchi growled as he stuffed his hands deep into denim jeans, pulling his jacket even closer over his broad chest. Dark black strands peeked out from underneath a maroon snow cap, complementing deep brown eyes as the tall 6'1 male walked towards the coffee shop. His tan stood out amongst a sea of pale civilians rushing towards their respective destinations.
He glared at the sky, as if it would make the cold weather go away and growled when another gust of cold wind hit him. He almost sighed in relief as he entered the shop, the warmth from the inside embracing him in a very soothing manner.
He scanned the crowd for a mop of blond hair and his eyes lit up, seeing his brother beside a table, placing down two steaming hot cups of coffee. His expression changed into boiling anger when he witnessed the grey haired aged male, occupying the table, reach out and cup the blond's plump ass he turned to walk away.
Within a flash, he was there with the offender's dirty hand in a painful grip. The pedophile yelped, shrinking away under the dark stare while his friend looked on tentatively.
"Aiden!?" Katsuya gasped as a few people stopped to see the commotion.
Aiden ignored him and leaned closer to the man, a dark glint in his eyes.
"If you ever look at him again, I swear I'll rip off your balls with my bare hands and I'll make sure to stuff down your throat until you asphyxiate on them. Are we clear?" The man nodded in fear as Aiden let go of him, before turning to his brother, a soft smile on his face.
"I was just checking on you" He rolled his eyes as his brother sighed.
"I'm fine! I can take care of myself; you don't need to constantly watch after me. Im 17!"
"…In two months. And as your older brother, it is my duty to take care of you."
Katsuya rolled his eyes and turned away before Aiden caught sight of his exposed legs.
"Katsuya! What the fuck are you wearing?" He snarled, gripping the other's elbow tightly. The blond yelped.
"Um…clothes?" Aiden growled and took off jacket. "Why are you wearing such a revealing shirt and why the fuck are you displaying your legs!"
"Aiden, relax. Today was laundry day and I had nothing else to wear. Relax. And I'm not cold; I don't need your jacket." Aiden frowned.
"I don't care; you'll catch a cold without you even knowing it." He glared until Katsuya reluctantly wore the dark black jacket which came down just a few inches above his knees.
"I look weird!" Katsuya pouted and the 20 year old glared.
"I mean….thank you?"
Aiden shook his head and his eye caught a teenage male staring at his brother and growled.
"I'll fucking neuter you!" He marched in his direction. Katsuya gaped.
"Aiden, let go of that guy's throat! Are you crazy?!"
"He's raping you with his eyes! Fucking asshole!"
"Aiden! Let go of him!"
Seto, who sat a few tables away looked on in wonder and frowned at the tall raven haired male, knowing this could complicate matters. Besides him Mokuba laughed.
"This is much better then TV! Look Seto! Can a person even turn that shade of blue!?"
Seto rolled his eyes before turning back to the newspaper he held in his hands.
The clock struck eleven behind him.
"Thank you for coming! Have a nice day" Katsuya cheered on as the couple waved at him before leaving. The coffee shop was almost empty and his shift ended in five minutes.
Aiden had gone home a while ago, albeit reluctantly, having a class in just an hour. He was currently studying in DIMS, Domino Institute of Medical Sciences, something which he had worked extremely hard to achieve. Katsuya smiled softly as he remembered the expression on his brother's face when he got the acceptance letter.
Of course their father had not been happy, wanting his eldest son to carry on after him as a business man which resulting him in drinking himself to a drunken stupor before passing out on the living room couch.
Katsuya grinned as he recalled his own acceptance letter to DIFA, Domino Institute of Fine Arts. This was something which Katsuya wouldn't have done on his own decision. Even though he loved to draw and sketch, guilt had lead to the blond attempting to pursue Business for his father's sake but Aiden had intervened. He had reminded Katsuya that he was to live his own life and not his alcoholic father, who has reduced himself to drinking and shouting at them both after their mother left them last year. DIFA started again in March, something which Katsuya had been anticipating for a very long time.
Shaking his head, Katsuya drummed his fingers against the cool surface of the counter gazing out the large shop windows into the early December morning and smiled. Winter was his favourite season, another thing that made him different from his brother.
Aide and Katsuya were complete opposites. While Aiden was tall, well built, tan with dark hair, Katsuya was a pale skinned blond who was rather small in size for his age. Aiden oozed masculinity while Katsuya himself had been mocked and ridiculed for his height and small stature from females and males combined which lead him to have never experienced even kissing someone of the opposite gender.
With a grin, Katsuya ran his fingers through his hair as he exited the counter from the left, grabbing his beg from a compartment on the underside of the wooden counter. Wishing his boss goodbye, Katsuya headed out into the cold morning and made to cross the street when a hand grabbed his wrist gently causing him to turn around.
He blinked and then glared, attempting to tug away from the now tight grip.
"You ass! What are you doing?!"
"It's dangerous for dogs to cross the streets you know." Seto smirked as blue eyes locked with amber ones and Katsuya huffed angrily.
"Im not a dog! You suck!" He spat out only to be tugged towards the tall brunet and Seto smirked before blowing softly into the blond's ear.
"I swallow too." He whispered; warm breathe hitting Katsuya dead on making him shiver. He blushed, eyes wide open and mouth gaped open and close like a fish.
"You…You pervert!" Katsuya scowled before tugging away and turning the other direction. Seto smirked. Having gotten the blonde's entire schedule he knew he would be meeting the feisty blond a lot now. Who said money couldn't buy you happiness?
Mokuba appeared beside Seto and frowned.
"Seto, why did you leave me!?" Seto ruffled the small boy's hair, stroking the soft midnight strands and Mokuba sighed happily.
"Do you like puppies Mokuba?" Mokuba blinked.
"Puppies? What's that got to do with anything?" Seto smirked.
"I was planning on getting one pretty soon" At the mention of a possible pet, Mokuba grinned.
"We're getting a dog!?"
"Yes, a Golden Retriever to be exact" Seto chuckled as both sat inside the limo and the driver took them back to their mansion.

Academic Year: Late September - Early JuneThe academic year at LSE consists of three terms: Michaelmas, Lent, & Summer terms
Future durations will be posted at a later date.
Overview | Academics | Cost | Location | Life Abroad | Student Voices | Apply
At application, you should have a passport valid for 6 months beyond the end of the program.A visa is required for students studying abroad in the UK. For the LSE program, you must apply for the Tier 4 General Student Visa. IAP & LSE will provide you with information and guidance regarding this process, but you are ultimately responsible for applying and obtaining your own visa.
Experience British culture while studying abroad at the London School of Economics (LSE)! LSE is a specialist university with an international intake and a global reach. LSE's research and teaching span the full breadth of the social sciences, from economics, politics and law, to sociology, anthropology, and accounting. Founded in 1895 by Beatrice and Sidney Webb, the School has an outstanding reputation for academic excellence. The student community at LSE is one of the most internationally diverse in the world, with students from 145 countries living and studying on campus. International in flavor, London is an unparalleled environment in which to live and study. It is a centre for government and law, Europe's leading financial market and a style setting centre of cultural life. Educational benefits include libraries, professional institutes and all the resources of the University of London. Upon completion of the year-long study abroad program (referred to as the "General Course" at LSE) you will become life-long alumni of the School, with access to a variety of benefits and services.
The LSE campus is situated just off Aldwych in central London, and students at LSE study in the heart of a multicultural city alongside students from across the world. Major cultural attractions such as Theatreland, the West End, the Royal Opera House, the British Library and British Museum are right on students' doorsteps. Whether it be art, architecture, dance, film, music, theatre, sport, shopping or even green spaces and the great outdoors - London really does have it all!
First, make sure you have reviewed the information for Prospective Students on the IAP web.
There is also specific Academic Planning information that you should review.
Next login to the IAP Online Application. UW Affiliate programs may require you to apply directly to the affiliate either simultaneously during the IAP application process OR after you have received a preliminary acceptance decision from IAP. Be sure to read the instructions carefully for information on when to apply to the affiliate.
The following supplemental application materials are also required as part of the application to this program and will become available to you through the on-line application:
While studying at LSE, you'll be assigned to one of LSE's academic departments; this will be called your home department. You must choose at least one (two if in Economics) of your four courses from your home department. A faculty member from your home department will act as your personal advisor during the year.Teaching in many subjects takes the form of linked lectures and classes. Lectures are usually an hour long and, unlike classes, are not required. They are attended by all students registered on a course, together with others who are interested in the subject matter. Classes are led either by a faculty member or a teaching assistant and are made up of much smaller groups of those students registered on the course. They correlate with the lectures and provide a forum for discussion and debate, which is usually led by a student presentation.Past students have recommend that students who plan to take Econ classes at LSE enroll in Math 340 prior to their study abroad experience.

Description Edit
A theme that looks a bit like BlackBox window- manager. Might be nice on a low-resolution laptop screen.
Buttons are: [iconify] <title text> [maximize] [close] which should be pretty obvious though.

text: personally for self defense, i would get Federal Hydro-shok, it has good muzzle velocity even out of a .380 and it would do more damage than a typical hollowpoint IMHO. That being said, i do not hate .380's I love my Bersa, but it is not a gun i would rely on for just my EDC. Then again, I am not worried about concealability, and I am not proficient with one. Once i have more practice, I will probbabley use it as my summertime gun.

Alright heads up before you read this this is going to be soooooo angsty like no joke. I literally thought of this listening to sad music, laying in bed in the dark, petting my kitty, and hating the world those things make angsty fics so don't hate me I warned you this time. This is all in Myrnin's POV
The smell of raspberries filled the room. I smiled. She had been gone for two months for her honeymoon with her Collins boy. This is the first time I'd seen her since I was at her wedding. I spun around in the chair – a great invention that Claire showed me – turning to face Claire. She came down the stairs with a smirk on her face.
"Hey, Myrnin." I stood up and walked forward, then stopped. I heard something. I closed my eyes and listened. Dum-dum. Dum-dum. Dum-dum-dum-dum. I listened closer and I could hear another heartbeat, though faint.
"Claire did you bring someone with you today?" I opened my eyes and looked behind her. She gave a shy smile and shook her head. I tilted my head to the side. "Are you sure?" She nodded and put a hand on her abdomen.
"I guess I can't keep a secret from you, with your extra sensitive hearing and all." I looked at her hand and tilted my head the other way.
"You ate another human being. Claire that's," I smiled. "Wonderful. But why didn't you share?" She laughed. The spark in her eye was bright and I gave a tight lipped smile.
"No, I didn't eat another human being, Myrnin," She held out her hand and I stared at it for a moment. She smiled wide and I couldn't refuse her. I put my hand in hers and she brought it to her stomach. She put my hand on her abdomen and I could feel something. It was faint and that was even with my vampire powers. It was a heartbeat. I closed my eyes and tried to focus. At first I thought it was Claire's heartbeat, but after I heard the beating fall out of sync my eyes shot open.
"Claire, you're pregnant?" She nodded. She looked so happy. I don't know how I didn't see it sooner. Her skin had a pinkish hue – more than usual – to it and she looked to be glowing. I smiled at her. I was happy for her. As much as I hated that Collins boy he could give her something I couldn't. A child. She splayed her hands on mine, which was still on her abdomen. I crouched down and leaned in carefully, looking up at her the whole time in case she decline. She continued to beam down at me. I looked at our joined hands and took a slow, unneeded breath. "You listen here tiny human." She laughed and I could feel it under my hand. "Don't hurt Claire, she has to be my lab assistant still." She smacked my head.
"Be nice." She chided behind her mirth.
"It doesn't even have ears yet." I could feel the warmth of her hand spread through to mine. "Like I was saying, you be nice to your mom. She is the only person in the world I would trust with my life." Claire hummed and the vibrations shook through my hand into my ears. I turned my hand and grabbed hers. I stood up and smiled down at her. "Now I have to be extra, extra careful around you. And my equipment with how big you're going to get." She yelled, but before she could hit me I dashed off laughing.
"The baby may not have ears, but I do." She yelled and walked to meet me at the lab table.
"Alright, shall we proceed with the experiment?" I waved my hand and she smiled. Nodding, she took my hand and I led her to the table where the experiment was.
"Claire!" I yelled and tapped my foot. She appeared around the corner. Her stomach rounding out around her belly button and visible as she lifted the boxes. I ran forward grabbing them from her. "How many times have I told you, you can't do any of the heavy lifting?" I scolded her as she yawned.
"One more time, maybe?" I growled, non-threateningly. I moved with vampire speed to put the boxes where they needed to be. I decided that I should clean up the lab since Claire's pregnancy, and it needed to be cleaned anyways.
"You need to work on packing the boxes over on the left; I'll be taking these boxes to Amelie for donation whilst you do that." She nodded. "And don't lift any of the heavy boxes or I will call Clane and he will take you and put you in a bed for the next six months. Or until you pop." She laughed.
"Mother's don't pop, Myrnin, you should know that." I smirked.
"Yea, but I do mean business about the boy." I pointed to her and she waved her hands above her head.
"I don't think you can really call him a boy, now." I stopped picking up the box to look over at her.
"1045 to 22. He is but a lamb." I thickened my accent to give it the extra emphasis and she laughed as she put things into the box. I opened a portal and stepped through into Amelie's office. She looked up from her desk with a pen in her hand and pointed to the left. I put the boxes where she indicated. She sighed.
"I don't see how it's my job to get rid of your junk." I clapped my hands together to get rid of the dust.
"Because you're so kind, and caring, and wonderful, and are the best mayor a town could have." I lathered the words with so much sarcasm I nearly choked.
"Shut up, fool." I chuckled and left to go check on Claire. I found I was doing that more and more as her pregnancy progressed. I stepped through the portal and Claire had a large box in her hands and she looked ready to lift it.
"Here." She handed me the filmy black and white screen shots. The baby was small, barely the size of my palm. I put the photo up to the light and looked at the features of the fetus.
"Do you want to know the sex or keep it a secret?" I handed her back the film. She shook her head.
"I want to know. Shane doesn't, but I do, so bad." She put her hand out. "Keep it." I smiled.
"Really?" She nodded and I held the film close to my chest. "I deeply appreciate the gift, young mother." She laughed and smacked my chest.
"I'm just Claire." I smiled.
"Alright then, just Claire." She smirked at me. "I'll have it framed. It'll be titled 'Just Claire's Baby'." I spread my hands out in front of me and spread them apart from each other with each word. I looked over at her for approval. She shook her head.
"If you're going to be that way then I'll take it back." She held out her hand, the other on her hip and I dashed off before she could take it from me.
"No, it's mine." I gave her a raspberry – she had told me what that was since I had no words for it – as I looked for a frame.
"For someone who is expecting a child I feel like I already have one." I gasped.
"Me? A child? You must be mistaken." I chuckled as I heard her walk around. The lab was almost spotless. It took a whole month to clean the place that included the area below – which Claire insisted on a ladder, lights, pest and rodent spray, and a fixed floor – and I had managed to keep it that way for a few weeks. Claire helped a lot. I also hadn't had an episode since Claire came back. I called her my good luck charm and she laughed and brushed it off as a coincidence. I wouldn't tell her what it really was. I never could now. She also had me install and maintain a bathroom. I went along with it since a) she would need it more often and b) it was using Amelie's money. She ran now to use it. I found a rag and cleaned off one of the nearby tables with it. Without Claire's demand I put in a refrigerator and I kept it fully stocked at all times. I used that time when I shopped for her food to do a little shopping of my own. I pulled the box I had hidden in the desk I sat at out of the drawer. It was wrapped neatly and had a nice bow on it. There was a tag on it with my old printing on it that said Claire. When she came out of the bathroom she looked at the box.
"What's that?" She pointed to the box and walked towards the desk. I had it in front of me and I had one hand on each side of the box I leaned over the desk.
"It's a gift." I could see the tears in her eyes as she put a hand up to her mouth.
"Myrnin, you didn't have to." I shrugged non-comically. I pushed it forward with one finger and she grabbed it. She began to open it up, taking careful precision with the paper. I laughed at her antics. She finally got to the box and took off the lid. She looked in behind her tears and smiled. She pulled out the miniature slippers. The white fuzz stuck out at random angles and the ears were bigger than the show themselves. She laughed and held them out to inspect them. "Myrnin – " I nudged my chin towards the box.
"Keep looking." She nodded and wiped her tears away.
"I'm sorry." I shook my head.
"It's nothing." She carefully took out the tissue paper and gasped. She slowly reached in and pulled out the necklace. It was necklace made of pure silver. The charm was a bunch of silver bones strung together to look like a baby skeleton. A new round of tears exploded from her eyes. "Myrnin, I love it." She managed around her crying. I put my silver resistant gloves on and took it carefully as she offered it to me. I motioned for her to turn around and she did. I put the necklace on her and she turned around as tears continued to over flow her eyes. She grabbed my hands and squeezed them tight. "Thank you so much." I shrugged. She squeezed my hands one last time before putting the slippers back in the box and putting it under her arm. "Do you mind if I show Shane?" I shook my head.
"No, go ahead." I opened a portal to the Glass house and she stepped through with one last look back.
I heard the screwdriver drop to the table as a flurry of feet ran to the bathroom. I continued to work as usual. I knew she would be out in a few moments. I twisted the wires and soldered them to the board. I moved around as I grabbed the instruments I needed and went back to the table. I hummed slightly as I put the circuit board onto the tray. Behind me I heard something crash to the ground. It sounded like glass breaking. I dropped what I had and ran to the bathroom.
"Claire?" I called. She didn't answer me. I could hear crying. I smelt blood. I panicked. "Claire! Let me in!" She screamed at me,
"No, go, I'm fine!" I shook my head. I could hear her crying harder and it didn't sound happy. It sounded….
"Claire! Let me in!" I repeated. She didn't answer me, but I could hear her screaming as she cried. I grabbed the door and tried the handle. Locked. I pulled with all my might and the door flung off the hinges. I looked into the white bathroom to see red staining the floor, sink, and toilet. She had blood all over her hands and she tried to wipe away her tears, but it just got blood on her face. She screamed at me to go away, but I wouldn't. I crouched down and reached into the cabinet. It had an assortment of towels. I began to mop up the mess. The mirror was broken and glass was everywhere. I used vampire speed to clean up the mess, so I could attend to Claire. She continued to cry hysterically. As I cleaned around her legs I saw something lying on the floor by her knee. It was covered in blood and it was about six inches long. I felt my non-beating heart break into a million pieces. The fetus was wrapped up in its umbilical cord. It had suffocated.
"Help her!" Claire screamed at me. "HELP HER!" The room shook with her scream. She reached forward and gathered up the dead baby in her arms. Her tears fell onto the lifeless form, cleaning away the blood. I continued to clean the blood in the room before assessing Claire. Finally it was done and all of the glass was cleaned up. I crouched down by Claire. She still had the baby in her arms and was shushing it. She slowly rocked it back and forth.
"Claire." I said in a soft voice. She didn't look away from the dead baby. "I need to get you to the hospital. You could have suffered hemorrhaging." She didn't move except to wipe away blood from the baby's face. I nodded and gathered Claire up in my arms. She continued to hold the baby as I opened a portal to the ER. A nurse nearby looked at us and called for a doctor. Soon a bed and entourage was running down the hall to help Claire. I was softly whispering to Claire as they hurried down the hall. I called to the nurse at the desk, "You need to get a hold of Shane Collins. He's the husband." The nurse began to scan the computer for his number. Claire was taken from my arms and I resisted the urge to snap at them. They put her on the bed and one of the nurses told me I had to stay. I couldn't move even if I wanted to. I stood in the middle of the hallway as they carted Claire away. I stared at my arms and hands. They were covered in her blood and I didn't think I would ever get it off. I knew it was irrational, but I felt as though it was my fault. I don't know how long I stood there before I heard Shane come bolting down the hallway.
"Where is she?" He was talking to the nurse. The nurse told him and he was going to run after her, but he saw me instead. "What did you do to her?" He said with every ounce of vindication he could muster. I shook my head.
"It wasn't me. Go look." Shane looked at my arms and hands then bolted full speed down the hallway. I closed my eyes and stepped back until I felt the chair on the backs of my knees. I sat down with my hands between my legs. I stared at the floor. Pain rippled through my body and a bloody tear escaped my eye.
Claire hadn't come in to work for most of the month. I didn't blame her. I looked at the bathroom and rage filled me. I wanted to burn it, as if it was the reason Claire's happiness had been stripped from her. I clenched my fists and sat down in my chair. I put my head in my hands and dug the heel of my palms into my eyes. Bloody tears flowed freely now. It was my fault, if I had simply said she couldn't work then maybe the baby would still be alive. If I didn't put so much stress on her then maybe she might still be here with her glowing skin, prominent belly, strange cravings, and emotional turmoil. The tears dripped down onto the floor. They dyed my bunny slippers with red and I continued to cry. Maybe if I stayed with her more often then she would have had her first ultrasound and seen the baby's beautiful face for the first time. Maybe if I gave her more days off she would be able to have her baby on the right time, a beautiful baby girl, just like her mother. This is all my fault. This is why she hadn't shown up to work. She knew it was my fault too.
I have accepted that Claire has quit. I haven't seen her in two months. I haven't heard from anyone since the incident. For all I know Claire has moved off to some city far away from here and was living a happier life knowing she wasn't living around a baby killer. The lab was a mess. Without Claire to help me the lab was back in the condition it was when I was insane. I felt it now. Baby killer. Baby killer. Baby killer. The words kept ringing in my head until it's all I could hear. Nothing mattered anymore. Claire was gone. Her baby was gone. My life was gone. I bet she smashed that necklace. I would have. Into a million tiny pieces. So I would never know that it resembled what I had lost. I stood up from my chair and pushed my way through the mess. I went to the fridge. I looked around at all of the moldy food. I hadn't taken it out since Claire left. I haven't felt like I would need to. I don't eat it and I never get any visitors, so I have no one to impress. I grabbed a bag of blood and finished it before I shut the fridge door. As I tossed the bag where a trash can used to be I smelt something familiar.
I looked over and Claire was standing in the doorway. Shock and horror on her face. I looked away ashamed.
"I thought you quit." I didn't have anything else I could say.
"I never told Amelie that." She stepped down into the lair. She dropped off her bag at the door and walked to face me. I looked away from her.
"You shouldn't be here. You should have left. I killed her and you know it." Claire shook her head.
"You didn't." She gave a sad chuckle. "You blame yourself, I blame myself, and Shane blames me." A stray tear fell from her eye. I looked at her in shock.
"That wretched boy – " I clenched my fist and bared my fangs. She held up her left hand.
"There's no need." I looked at her ring finger and it was bare. I pulled back my fangs.
"You –"
"Yes." She put her hand down and looked around at the disarray. "I was gone because I was filing the divorce papers. It was a huge pain in my ass." She turned back and I looked at her neck. Something glittered in the little light. The necklace.
"You still wear it?" She nodded, tearing up.
"Why wouldn't I? It's beautiful." She put her hand to it and twisted it carefully between her thumb and index finger. "So I'd say you get the left side and I'll get the right side. We work out way to the middle?" I cocked my head. "To clean this place up." I looked around. If it was done once, it could be done again.
We were done sooner this time since Claire wasn't pregnant. She could lift her own boxes now. There was a change about her. She wouldn't always tell me, but I could smell the tears on her when she showed up for work some days. I never asked her because I didn't want to push her away. I had asked once what happened to her after she came to work with a bruise on her face and she said she tripped. I could smell the boy on her skin though. I wanted to wring his small neck, so I could feel the satisfaction of killing him. He hurt Claire so much. He blamed her for the death of their child. The Collins boy had the audacity. Claire said he left Morganville. I imagined something else happened. I looked around at the clean again lab. Everything sparkled and was nice and organized. Claire stood next to me, admiring our handiwork as well. She leaned on me slightly.
"I think we did well." I nodded, wrapping an arm around her shoulder. She leaned into my side more and I rubbed my hand up and down on her arm. She yawned. I looked down at her.
"You should get some sleep." She nodded, closing her eyes.
"I don't want to leave." I rested my head on hers.
"I have the couch still." She smirked.
"You know I hate that couch." I picked her up and she didn't protest. She felt smaller now that she lost the baby. It was like a part of her spirit left with her with the death of her baby. Maybe some of her spirit left her when Shane did as well. I walked to the couch and laid her down. She curled up, facing the back of the couch. She mumbled a good night. Her hands wrapped around her abdomen and she smiled faintly before drifting off to sleep. I watched her for a few more moments before looking around at the lab. I walked over to the table with the circuit board on it. I stared at it for a long moment before grabbing the soldering gun and began to work on the board.
Claire sat in the bathroom. She had her back against the wall and she stared at the floor between her legs. Her eyes were distant and puffy from the tears that silently fell down her face. I sat on the toilet, watching her. I put my hands between my legs and watched her with a careful eye. She made a small noise in the back of her throat and more tears continued to fall. They hit her shirt with a soft pat-pat and left stains. I didn't dare move to comfort her. She needed this. I pulled my left hand from between my legs and reached down beside me. I grabbed the remote control and pulled my right hand out as well. I held the control and commanded the remote control truck to drive forward. I guided it silently through the lab to the bathroom. It stopped at the door of the bathroom. In the bed of the toy truck was a box. It was wrapped neatly and had a nice bow on it. On a tag with my fancy handwriting was Claire. Claire finally looked away from the bathroom floor. She looked over at the toy truck. It took it as a signal to go forward. I moved it at a crawl towards her. I stopped it right next to her hand. She reached out slowly and grabbed the small box. She carefully opened the paper and then the lid of the box. She reached in and grabbed the necklace. It was a heart locket the size of her cupped palm. She opened it up and I saw her tears begin to flow faster now, although still silently. Inside I knew there was a picture of her on the left side and on the right side was an age progression of her baby at one month old. She closed the locket and held it to her heart. She looked at the box and there was a note. The note I left her. She grabbed it and opened it up slowly. She read it. The tears looked happy now. They were flowing and she looked up at me with her sparkling eyes. The light had returned to them. She held both the note and the locket close to her heart. She gave a small smile.
"Thank you." She whispered.
Congratulations Claire Elizabeth Danvers, you are now the mother of Valerie Guinevere Danvers.
Birthdate: Monday October 14, 2013.
Mother's Birthdate: Thursday October 14, 1993.
Happy First Birthday Valerie. Happy Twenty-First Birthday Claire.
So how did you like it? I know it was sad. I wrote this in like two hours leave me alone. Oh the song that really helped me with this was October by Evanescence which is actually what inspired this story. Sorry for the angst but I hoped you liked it.
