I have thick course wavy hair. I hate that this product didn't do anything for my hair. I only brought this product because the many positive reviews on this. The product itself is very oily like a lot people say a little goes a long way. My hair wasn't shiny or made my hair soft.

Unless you have super thick, dry hair, I wouldnt purchase this treatment. A dime size made my fine hair overly greasy. I prefer light Moroccan oil so I am able to use more of the product and achieve greater results.

This product is excellent. It makes my hair silky and smooth after being flat ironed and it gives a nice conditioned finish. It works on the hair shaft right away. Only use a little bit, because a little bit goes a long way. I have reccommended it to everybody I know. I bought it a Sally Beauty Supply!
This was NOT a good alternative to Moroccanoil for me. My hair is very thick and naturally curly with a slightly coarse texture. I love silicone products to blow out my hair. Most silicone type products help my hair smooth and straighten while adding tons of pretty shine. And my hair isn't very picky. Most silicone serums work well enough for me, though some are better than others. This one actually leaves my hair frizzy. It also doesn't seem to hold my hair shape well. After using this I wake up with frizzing hair that has lost it's smoothness and shine. Adding this as a finisher does not help. I am not going to buy this one again. I'll try others since they are just as cheap.
I have used One N Only argan oil for about 6 months, i did find it to be a bit too heavy for my liking...anyway i was at sallys and decided to try this..although I hate the smell the product is great!!! I love it!! leaves my hair super soft and shiny...along with that it doesn't make my hair feeling heavy...just remember this is still an oil so don't put too much or you'll look like a grease ball!
Tried this along with One N Only argan oil treatment to find a cheaper alternative to my beloved Morrocanoil. I didn't like the smell of this and found it to be too silicone-y. Not like Morrocanoil at all. One N Only is a much better alternative and is all I use now.
I love this!! It makes my hair feel great and after using this (along with other Argan Oil products from this brand), I haven't had split ends in months. My hair is never dry or brittle and this product actually makes it easier to comb through my long hair.
If you're interested in trying out Moroccan/Argan Oil and you don't want to spend a lot of money, this brand is affordable and available from Sally Beauty Supply. Sometimes they have sales on this brand and you can get them for even cheaper.
I definitely recommend this product :)
Bought this based on reviews as i heard a lot of hyper over agran oil. i take a tiny HALF PEA sized drop of this rub it between my palms and put it through my hair after ironing, it smells great and makes my hair silky and soft without weighing it down too much, will repurchase! Ok someone said you can use this on your skin too?? One of the top reviewers .No. Just no. You CANNOT use this on your skin. Wtf? Its filled with silicones that would make your skin itch and fragrance to make your skin red. For hair this is amazing. For skin no
i really like this it makes my hair soft and really feels like butter ... this is not just some silicon in a bottle that gives some temporary softness and shine and then back to coarse , dull and frizzy hair like other product ...this really nurture my hair or at least thats what i feel ...will repurchase
So I have really been trying to take care of my unruly, 3a curly (with some waves), shoulder-length hair since I recently chopped 6 inches off. Whether it is having a really curly day or a flat wavy day, this oil has helped manage it. It gives it shine, moisture, frizz control and softness. Depending on my needs I will sometimes put a quarter size of regular conditioner over it for some added moisture and control, sometimes a golf ball size of mousse (suave curls one) or some ULTA brand curl cream. I like that the oil provides a nice base and my hair never feels dried out (which the curl cream sometimes could leave it feeling before). Overall, I recommend having a bottle of this on hand if you have curly, frizzy and/or dry hair. It makes for a great base or can be used alone depending on needs. It is $7 a bottle, but will last several months, so ends up being cheaper than the serum I was using (Organix coconut). Plus, when Sally's does a buy 2 get 1 free sale, I can stock up for less (3 bottles on hand will last a LONG time).
The only con to the product is the packaging. While I have never had a huge mess, I can see how that could happen if the bottle fell over or I poured too much into my hands. I wish it came with a pump like the Organix coconut serum! I'm actually considering using the rest of that up and pouring my new fave hair product into that.

My go-to elixir
By Purple Grandma
from Pleasanton, California
Comments about DHC Vitamin C Essence:
I use this on especially dry spots and have found that when I have little nicks and abrasions (from our resident playful cat) or cuts or scrapes, this elixir takes away the sting and/or redness very quickly, and seems to help hasten the healing. I carry samples in my purse, and wouldn't be without it. Would recommend it to any and everyone.

Difficult packaging
By Shelley
from Rochester, NY
I purchased this product in April 2013 and have struggled to use it ever since. It is extremely difficult to get anything out of the tube without squeezing it very hard. It keeps clogging up and I have cut the tip off several times to try and get it out more easily. Not worth all the effort. Results have not been noticeable.
Finally, something makes a difference
By Marie W.
from Seattle, WA
I went ahead and tried this product because I was really impressed with the Retino A Essence, which I tried because I was so impressed with the facial scrub. All these things built up my courage to try this product. I have been fighting hyperpigmentation issues for many years now. It has even effected my self confidence. I have spent a lot of money on department stores, high-end brands that are supposed to be better. And I have used them from start to end of the package or tube, so I didn't give up--I really gave them a chance. I even did a round of laser treatment designed to treat hyperpigmentation. When that didn't work I really felt doomed. But After trying the Retino A Essence I thought, well I try the C serum. I am so very glad I did. I am not sure what permanent effect it may or may not have on my hyperpigmentation, but as soon as I started to use it, my skin started to really brighten up. The spots are still there. They may not even be getting better, but the serum really, truly, honestly brightens my complexion up. It has "boosted" my self esteem. I am still working to address the dark spots, which may actually be improving with this product. But my theory is that it brightens instantly, and helps me see results right away, while I work on a long term solution specifically for hyperpigmentation. It is so effective, PLEASE KEEP MAKING IT, AND LEAVE IT "AS IS", no new packaging, no variations to the magical formula. Its perfect the way it is. TIP: I love it so much and it made such a difference that when I go out to a nice dinner or a special event, I place two drops into the palm of my hand and use it on my elbows - and it actually lightens/brightens them up too. As I am getting older, that is one thing that I have noticed: discoloration and a little bit of sagginess on my elbows. So, I figured it works so well on my face... Also, I really notice a difference if I do not use it. And when I use it I don't have to build layers of foundation makeup to cover up the dark spots. I really believe in it. I highly recommend this product. I hope it can make as big a difference for everyone else, too. Thank you.
Great product generous tube
By DHC Fan
from Palm Desert, California
See all my reviews
This product is luxuriously wonderful. Please all you who complain about DHC packaging - please stop. You don't want them to go to those little plastic ampouls or whatever like other companies have--those things are a rip off, stink after a certain time, are chintzy and hard to use. This tube of C essence, on the other hand, is generous, luxurious and really easy to use. Just drop it directly on your face; or squeeze a few drops in your palm and put on your face. I love DHC bottles (& tubes like this) because I have zero problem pouring or dropping the product into my palm and smoothing it on my face. With this tube I can drop it directly on my face if I want. The bottles (or tubes) are generous for the price, in my opinion, and the type of product you are getting for your $$. Keep going DHC!
Tube Clogs, No Noticeable Results
By Colleen in Colorado
from Colorado Springs, CO
I used the Vitamin C Essence for a couple of weeks and did not detect a change in my complexion. After a couple of weeks, the tube became clogged and the product was trapped. I tried soaking the tip in warm water, inserting a fine needle into the tip, and finally squeezing the tube firmly, thinking the clog would be forced out. The tube exploded!! It didn't appear to be such a terrible event until the next day when the product had dried all over the room, leaving a white, flaky crust everywhere it had landed.Thinking I merely had a lame tube, I ordered it again. The new tube also clogged within two weeks. Thankfully, I knew better than to squeeze too hard on the tube this time.Maybe two weeks isn't long enough to achieve visible results, but I will not buy a third tube trying to find out.
Not What I Expected
By Oldie but still goodie
from Naperville, Il
I have not seen any results after three weeks but I am going to finish the tube. I will not order it again and will try to find something that works better for me. I border on dry skin and this caused an uncomfortably dry feeling around my cheeks and forehead. I could only use it once a day.
Pricey, but worth it!
By Momma Mary
from Idaho
Great product. Gives my skin a healthy glow and a smooth feel. I use it once daily and love the results I have seen.
Love this product!
By Grandmama
from Colorado
It is true that when you get to the end it can be a little hard to squeeze out the rest but it lasts a pretty long time. I like that it is a liquid. I think that it's vitamin C concentrate makes it very effective.
Vitamin C Essence
By DHC lover
from Salt Lake City, Utah
I have many dark spots on my face, and I am living in Utah(desert climate/strong Sun ray). I have to do something for my face, and I like to use this product. But a little bit expensive.
Nice for youngs
By Leslie Jung
from Redwood City, CA
Especially good for the youth who don't really need heavy treatment for wrinkles and others, but need something mildly to protect the skin :)

Phoenix Suns deal Sebastian Telfair to Toronto
The wheeling and dealing continued for the Phoenix Suns Thursday, as they traded point guard Sebastian Telfair to the Toronto Raptors for center Hamed Haddadi and a 2nd round pick.
Telfair signed with the Suns prior to the lockout-shortened 2011-12 season. In two seasons in Phoenix, the former high school phenom played in 106 games, averaging 6.1 points and 2.4 assists per game.
Haddadi, 27, is averaging 1.2 points and 1.2 rebounds in just under seven minutes per game for the Raptors.
Telfair's playing time had dwindled lately as the Suns have gone with more of a youth movement which pushed rookie Kendall Marshall higher on the depth chart. Telfair hasn't gotten off interim head coach Lindsey Hunter's bench in eight of the last 11 contests.
He's also spent time with Portland, Boston, Minnesota, the Los Angeles Clippers and Cleveland in his eight-year career.

First lady's Oscar stint hush-hush

First lady Michelle Obama, appearing on screen from Washington, and actor Jack Nicholson present the award for best picture during the Oscars.
She didn't walk the red carpet, but Michelle Obama had her own star turn during Sunday's Academy Awards, when she announced the winner for best picture via satellite from the White House.
Barely moments after Obama's late-night appearance, the question of whether it was proper for the first lady to dirty her hands with the show disintegrated into a predictably partisan rhubarb.
But Kristina Schake, a spokesman for Obama, said: "The Academy Awards approached the first lady about being a part of the ceremony. As a movie lover, she was honored to present the award and celebrate the artists who inspire us all, especially our young people, with their passion, skill and imagination."
The idea to have Obama participate was hatched by the show's producers, with a hand from film executive Harvey Weinstein, a friend of the first family. Obama agreed right away, but secret negotiations ensued, including a stealth flight from Los Angeles to Washington a few weeks ago.
Weinstein reached out to the White House, originally with the idea of having Obama attend the show. The plan was for her to sneak backstage to morph into a secret Oscar presenter. But because the first lady had a conflict that night — the governors would be in town for a White House gala — the idea of a remote appearance was born.
Only two top executives at ABC knew of the plan, along with actor Jack Nicholson, who presented Obama from the stage in Hollywood.
Obama was hand-delivered the envelope containing the winner — Argo — by Bob Moritz, U.S. chairman of PricewaterhouseCoopers.

Major Impressionist Art Theft Took Just 3 Minutes
Filed under: Art
Most of us picture art thieves as slinky sleuth types who sneak in under cover of night and quietly disable the alarm system, but apparently that's not what works best in Switzerland. This past Sunday 3 masked men dressed all in black burst into a private museum in Zurich in the middle of the day and took 4 paintings valued at £85 million by simply ripping them off the walls and running. They were in and out of the building and flying down the road in a beater of a white car in less than 3 minutes! Amazing. Sad, and outrageously embarrassing for Switzerland, but amazing.
The truly sad part is that they made off with some major and historic pieces of art: Cézanne's The Boy in a Red Vest, Degas's Viscount Lepic and his Daughters, Monet's Poppies Near Vetheuil, and Van Gogh's Blossoming Chestnut Branches. What a tragedy! I hope they get caught before the art is lost underground forever.

Retired U.S. Supreme Court Associate Justice John Paul Stevens discusses his book, "Five Chiefs," a memoir which details the workings of the Supreme Court from Stevens' personal experiences with the five most recent chief justices. As the third longest serving Supreme Court Justice in American history, John Paul Stevens recounts his dealings with each individual chief justice, beginning with the 1947 term and culminating in his resignation at the end of the 2010 term. He relates his personal views of each chief justice along with stories of his own career including his attendance at Northwestern Law School. He shares information about many of the most complex and controversial decisions he was involved with including freedom of speech, affirmative action, and capital punishment.

text: hen Rino Grzinic came to St. John's University as a freshman eager to pursue a degree in Athletic Administration in the early 1970s, he had no idea that one day he would be directly involved in helping to ensure that the students who came after him would have the same opportunities that he'd enjoyed. As Associate Director of Development in the Office of Major Gifts, he interacts directly with some of St. John's most generous and supportive donors, helping them to find ways that will directly impact the University's unique Vincentian mission. "Relationships are the key to solicitation of major gifts," he said. "What we as major gift officers do is listen to the alumni and friends who might be interested in making such a gift and try to match their specific interests with various funding opportunities here at the University." For many of these donors, their commitment is to fund scholarships for academically qualified and financially disadvantaged students. Grzinic noted that many major gift donors "…are very thankful for the support that they received when they were here at St. John's, and now they're in a position to show their gratitude by doing the same for others." This quiet and unassuming professional began his career at St. John's in 2003 after spending nearly 20 years with a consulting firm that specialized in fundraising for non-profit organizations. His years of experience and love for St. John's made him the perfect candidate to join the Institutional Advancement team. "I decided to come back to St. John's because, for me, it was a really unique opportunity," he recalled. "I've been a donor to the University since I graduated in 1977, and this was a chance for me to share some of my talents in ways that would help St. John's continue its mission." Grzinic credits his former professors and staff with making a difference in his life, and for motivating him to maintain a decades-long connection to the University that obviously still means so much to him. "The people that have influenced my life the most have been the professors and administrators that I started to meet nearly 40 years ago when I was a freshman here," he said. "The lessons that I learned and the examples that I gleaned from them have served my very well throughout my entire life. I've always said that the reason St. John's is such a great place is because of the people that are here. I see them every day going out of their way to reach out to the students and try to help them realize their dreams. I'm really glad to be a part of that." Although today's St. John's students are more culturally diverse than at any time in University history, he believes that they are really not much different than they were during his own time as an undergraduate. "The young men and women here today are pretty much the same as they've always been at St. John's," he noted. "For the most part, they're the first in their family to go to college, they're very hard-working, and they're looking to get a good, values-based education so that they can make a place for themselves in the world. It's nice to know that, in the ways that matter, we're helping the same kinds of students as we always have." As would be expected from his long-time association with the Vincentian community, the spirit of caring and compassion that is such an integral part of the St. John's experience continues to be an important part of his life. He is a member of The Loughlin Society and has been certified as a graduate of the Vincentian Mission Program, an intensive 16 month program that involves monthly Vincentian reflections, a capstone retreat and, most notably, 50 hours of community service, two thirds of which are in direct service with the poor. He is also an active participant in the annual University Service Day, volunteers at St. John's Bread and Life and assists at Providence House by collecting clothing and other items for mothers and their children who have suffered from being part of an abusive household or women who are transitioning from prison life back into society. Grzinic is continually impressed by the many people he meets in the course of his duties who share a devotion to the University as strong as his own. "There are so many good things about my job, and the best is that I regularly get to meet people who are really committed to St. John's. They give of themselves so generously to help others without any concern for their own agendas. For me, that's really special."

Rihanna's '777 Tour' to Launch 11/14
Rihanna, Island Def Jam
Worldwide superstar Rihanna, currently dominating global charts with "Diamonds," the fastest-rising single of her career to date, and the first single from UNAPOLOGETIC, her upcoming 7th studio album for Island Def Jam in just seven years - arriving in stores worldwide on Monday, November 19th - now announces the launch of her unprecedented "777" tour on Nov. 14th.
A group of die-hard fans from the Rihanna Navy fan club and a traveling international press corps of over 150 journalists representing 82 countries will be taken aboard a chartered Boeing 777 twinjet to 7 shows in 7 days in 7 countries. Working with global sponsor, HTC Corporation, the "777 Tour" will host an intimate gig in each of 7 cities—including one in the UK co-sponsored by River Island — marching toward the November 19th release date of UNAPOLOGETIC.
To commemorate the arrival of UNAPOLOGETIC, two different Limited Edition D2C deluxe box sets are up for pre-sale to members of the Rihanna Navy, exclusively at the RihannaNow.com website: the DIAMONDS BOX and the DIAMONDS EXECUTIVE PLATINUM BOX, carrying amazing never-before-released Rihanna images, art and custom-made accessories.

Meanwhile, "Diamonds," with 94 million combined radio audience in the U.S. (Greatest Gainer/Streaming & Airplay), jumps to #5 on the Hot 100, to become Rihanna's 23rd Top 10 hit on the chart. "Diamonds" debuted four weeks ago with #1 postings at iTunes in 27 countries, and Top 5 iTunes in 55 countries. On November 10th, Rihanna will perform 'Diamonds' on the Saturday Night Live stage, her fourth time as musical guest.
Rihanna – the "#1 Person On Facebook" with over 62 million Likes – has sold over 37 million albums and 146 million digital tracks worldwide, and currently holds the record as the top-selling digital artist of all time. The recipient of six Grammy Awards® and seven Billboard Music Awards, she was named the world's #1 social media star by Forbes, with over 2.9 billion views on YouTube/VEVO, the most ever for any female artist, and over 26 million Twitter followers.

Hello, all. Nice new digs, Hugh. Starting everything new at once, I see!
Ok, what to say with this new intro. Janyaa isn't my real name, but it's what I go by on the internet. I'm an avid reader and I love Hugh's books. (But, I'm sure that goes without saying, doesn't it?)
Since reading Wool, I've tried to introduce it to everybody I know. I've currently gotten three other people to read it and they've all loved it! I'm working on my local barista and sister, atm. I'm one of those people that likes to pass along whatever good thing I've discovered. Luckily, I have a loud mouth and talk too much, so I'm perfectly suited for the job!
That's it for now. I'm sure more will come out as we all get to know each other.

UPDATE: Northwest's fraternities and sororities were to hold a candlelight vigil in memory of slain student Tomarken Smith at 9 p.m. Friday, Sept. 14, at the Memorial Bell Tower on campus. The vigil is open to the public.
In addition, a moment of silence will be observed at Saturday's Bearcats football game. Yet to be scheduled is a memorial bell ringing, also on campus.
Northwest officials are still discussing how to handle requests from those who wish to make donations in Smith's memory.
EARLIER TODAY: Two Harrison County men have been charged with second-degree murder and felony assault in the early morning death Friday of Northwest Missouri State University senior Tomarken Smith at Fourth and Market streets on the Maryville square.
Maryville Public Safety officials allege that Smith, 21, was assaulted near the intersection about 1:30 a.m. by Tony M. Overlin, 23, and Kevin Dell Mooney, 31, both of Bethany. Neither man is a student at the university.
MPS Director Keith Wood said the three men were reportedly involved in a scuffle inside Molly's Dance Club & Bar in the 300 block of Market Street shortly after 1 a.m.
Wood said the fight was broken up by a pair of Maryville police offices, sergeants Rex Riley and Rick Smail, and that the two "heavily intoxicated" suspects were ejected from the premises.
Smith, who Wood said was apparently less intoxicated that Overlin and Mooney, remained inside the tavern until closing time at 1:30 a.m. The victim, who is black, then walked outside and was allegedly set upon by the two white suspects.
During the alleged assault, Wood said, Smith was apparently struck once or twice before falling to the pavement, striking his head and losing consciousness.
A probable cause statement filed in Nodaway County Circuit Court Friday morning by detective Sgt. Ryan Glidden stated that immediately after the attack, Smail "observed two while males running from Mr. Smith's body after he was knocked to the sidewalk."
Glidden further stated that Smail recognized the fleeing suspects as as "the same two males who were involved in an altercation with Mr. Smith inside Molly's Bar at approximately 1:05 a.m."
Both men were arrested within minutes of the attack and were taken to the Nodaway County jail, where they were to be formally charged Friday by Prosecuting Attorney Robert Rice. If convicted, the suspects face prison terms of 10 years to life.
Smith, who Wood said was still alive in the minutes after being struck down, was taken by ambulance to St. Francis Hospital in Maryville, where he was pronounced dead at 2:21 a.m.
Wood said Smith's body was nearly unmarked after the attack, and that the victim may have suffered only a single blow. The sole wound, the police chief said, was a small cut to the back of the head that caused a slight amount of bleeding.
Page 2 of 2 - "The incident itself was relatively minor," Wood said. "Not the result, but the incident. There were probably 20 incidents like that last night where people just dusted themselves off and went home."
According to a Maryville Public Safety release, Smith was a pre-professional studies major at Northwest who was also pursuing a minor in coaching.
On his Facebook Page, the victim described himself as a pre-med student employed as a personal trainer at the university's fitness center. He was a 2009 graduate of Oakville High School in south suburban St. Louis.
The visibly shaken members of Smith's Sigma Phi Epsilon fraternity declined comment Friday except for a prepared statement issued by Missouri Lambda Chapter President Chase Adams, who said the members were "deeply saddened by the loss of our brother."
"The chapter extends its heartfelt condolences to his family," Adams said. "This is a very tough time for all of us. Please offer your thoughts and prayers for his family, friends, brothers and the campus community as we struggle to cope with this tragic loss."

Clearing Articles and Travel Advice
Should I Go on a Gap Year?
You might be facing some difficult decisions right now, but have faith in the knowledge that these 5 awesome people say their gap years are the best thing they ever did.
A-levels: Resit Before Your Trip
It can be a shock if you have a gap year plan and suddenly you have to take A-level resits. Harriet Lawrence explains why you need to get the right results before you go.
How to Make Your Gap Year Work for You
When you're planning your gap year, there'll always be someone who raises the question of "what will you do afterwards?" Well, you can make your gap year work for you.
What can a Gap Year Really do for You?
What can a gap year really do for you? Does it matter if a gap year doesn't boost your CV? At the end of the day, it's what the gappers think themselves.
Questions about Clearing
With A-level results day approaching, not getting your grades is a reality for some. But hey, don't worry, we've got it covered in our questions on clearing.
2012 Student and Graduate Career Planner
Aside from enjoying the social aspect of university life, it can be daunting to think about your future career when in the midst of gaining a degree. To help you get the most from 2012, this handy timeline from graduate recruitment website Milkround will help guide you to a top graduate job, whichever year you're in.
Introduction to Clearing
"I'll never forget results day. I looked up at the board, found my name, ran my finger across, saw the grades - erm - went back to my name, ran my finger across - no, can't be true - back to my name, ran my fingers across - I couldn't believe my eyes. I'd missed the grades I needed...."
A-Level Results Day: What Next?
The approach of A level results is a stressful time for parents as well as young people. One option which your son or daughter may be considering is taking a gap year (roughly 40 per cent of those who take a gap year every year decide to do so after they get their results). Here's what's in store for you after results day.
Case Study: An Unplanned Gap Year
"Last year on results day I was devastated. I hadn't done enough work during my final year at school and had missed my grades for my first choice university. Rather than take my insurance choice, I decided to take a year out..."
Q&A: Taking an Unplanned Gap Year
"I wasn't really feeling much, I don't think. There was nothing much I could do about my results: I just had to wait and see. I kind of knew the exams hadn't gone as well as they could, but as I say there's little point in worrying about things you can't do anything about."
Taking an Unexpected Gap Year
If things don't go to plan on results day, you may find yourself faced with an unexpected gap year. Perhaps you've decided to re-apply to uni for next year, or perhaps you just want to take a year out to reconsider your options.
The Facts about Re-applying
Clearing isn't for everyone. If you haven't got into your first or second choice uni, one alternative is to take a gap year and re-apply for the following year. This is not a decision to be taken lightly.
Facts about Clearing
Clearing is a UCAS service that helps people without a university or college place to find suitable vacancies on higher education courses. It helps to find places for more than 35,000 people during Clearing every year.
A-Level Results: Got Your Results?
Congratulations! But before you rush off to the boozer to celebrate your cerebral success (and kill off a few of those valuable brain cells) there are a few issues to be addressed. You may have got exactly what you needed, done just enough or confounded everyone with your scintillating grades - whatever - you should still think about your choices carefully.
A-Level Results: Disappointing Grades?
So you didn't do too well. First thing: don't panic. You have far more options open to you than you might think. Remember: thousands of others are in exactly the same situation as you. You're not on your own. But whatever you choose to do over the next few days and weeks could change your life. That can be a great thing, but you have to keep a clear head and work through your options...
Results Day and Clearing: Your Questions Answered
Mark 'Woody' Woodward from Bablake High School in Coventry is our favourite careers adviser. He's here to answer your questions about results day, clearing and what comes next. There's so much advice and heading off to uni can be a daunting prospect. Hopefully not after this Q + A session.
The Facts about Re-sits
You've missed out on the grades you needed. You've got in touch with your first and second choice universities and they have declined to offer you a place. At this stage, you might consider re-sitting some or all of your exams as an alternative to entering clearing.
Re-thinking Your Options
If you've missed out on the grades you need, you may find yourself re-thinking your choice of course. Perhaps you did badly in your chosen subject, and better than expected in a different subject. If this is the case, Clearing could be for you.

Project Aims to "Bridge the Gap" From Remission to Cure in Multiple Myeloma
Published Online:
Friday, June 21, 2013
Brian G.M. Durie, MD
Chairman, International Myeloma Foundation, North Hollywood, CA
When patients respond well to treatment for multiple myeloma, doctors can't tell them whether they've been cured. That news comes 10 years later, after the patients have been monitored carefully for recurrence.
"During that time, you're constantly watching and waiting for the second shoe to drop," according to Brian G.M. Durie, MD, chairman and co-founder of the International Myeloma Foundation (IMF).
Through an IMF project, Durie and his colleagues are seeking to remove that long period of uncertainty for such patients. Under the Black Swan Research Initiative, the team plans to develop the first definitive criteria for a myeloma cure, and to set forth treatment plans to achieve those criteria.
The project will involve developing tests sensitive enough to determine whether patients have any myeloma cells left in their bodies following treatment. Those who don't have such cells would be considered cured, and would know that in the short term. Those who do would be offered different treatments until tests show that their residual cancer cells have been eliminated.
Durie expects the work to be completed within three years.
"We're ready to bridge the gap from long-term remission to cure, by identifying the best treatments at the best time to achieve the best objective, our objective being a new definition of cure based on a complete eradication of any residual myeloma," Durie said.
In an interview with
, Durie provided details about the Black Swan initiative and how he expects the project to develop.
Why is this project called Black Swan?
Here in the Northern Hemisphere, everybody knew swans were white until 1697, when Willem de Vlamingh sailed up Swan River in Western Australia and found black swans. Based on that, we realized swans could be any color. The idea is that we need to be open to new ideas, to look at things you may have been looking at already, but in a new light.
At the same time, we can learn something from the 2010 edition of
The Black Swan: The Impact of the Highly Improbable
, a guide to financial investment theory by Nassim Nicholas Taleb. The concept is that you invest 80% of your money in a standard fashion, but 20% in bold new ideas. The caveats are that: (1) you have to be willing to invest in a number of different projects in parallel, with the idea that one will be fruitful, and (2) you have to consider the best advice out there about which projects might pay off. Likewise, in trying to find a cure for myeloma, we need to look at different research projects in parallel and get the best advice possible to come up with likely projects.
Why is this the right time for the Black Swan Research Initiative?
With novel therapies, we see long-term complete remissions in 15% to 20% of our myeloma patients. These patients are getting to low levels of disease where they could have a minimal residual disease (MRD) level of zero. But we don't have reliable, precise enough testing for MRD. The aim of this project is to come up with tests that are reliable and usable by groups around the world, and that are validated to confirm that they do, indeed, correlate with long-term remission and survival.
Who is conducting the Black Swan research?
A multinational consortium of leading myeloma experts. The consortium is a subset of the International Myeloma Working Group, the research arm of the IMF.
How will this group create tests that are sensitive enough to check for MRD zero?
There are two types of tests that we use on these patients now. One is automated flow cytometry, where you pass blood through a flow cytometer to see if there are any myeloma-like cells in the blood. The other is a test to see, at the molecular level, if there is any myeloma-related DNA in the blood.

Just curious. Haven't seen much sign of it in the forum, though I haven't been keeping tabs on all the threads like I used to. There's been some discussion of the concept of Christmas stuff on RBN in the main forum, but I haven't seen any specifics mentioned. And I suppose this would be the time when they'd have to be in late playtesting or review if they want to come out in time to be topical.
Seems like a lot of old Christmas standards would be pleasant to play on keyboard, especially if recorded in a Charlie-Brown-Christmas-ish jazz arrangement (though of course those specific arrangements are copyrighted, one could do something along those lines). Something like the Christmas Rock Medley from last year would be great too.
It's a shame that Sleigh Ride is evidently not in the public domain. Oh well.
But yeah, is there any seasonal stuff coming out that I might have missed an announcement, or that somebody might care to announce?

TVA Police Urge Reservoir Users To Be Extra Cautious This Summer
May 26, 2011
KNOXVILLE, Tenn. – Recent flood waters along the Tennessee River may create hazardous conditions for boaters and swimmers this summer. With the start of the annual recreation season this Memorial Day weekend, Tennessee Valley Authority Police are urging the public to be especially careful on area reservoirs and waterways.
"Heavy rains and flooding in April and May have increased the debris and hazards in the water, much of which may be under the surface and not visible to boaters and swimmers," said David Jolley, vice president of TVA Police and Physical Security. "Boaters need to remain alert for debris in all parts of the reservoir, and to be safe swimmers need to use the designated swimming areas at various campgrounds and recreation areas."
TVA Police also are urging boaters to use Coast Guard-approved life jackets and flotation devices at all times.
"There have been a number of fatal accidents in the last year as a result of boats capsizing and personal flotation devices not being worn by the people on board," Jolley said. "In about two-thirds of all boating accidents and half of all boating fatalities, alcohol is involved. Alcohol impairs your judgment and motor skills and seriously increases your chances of accidents and injuries around the water."
TVA Police offer these additional safety tips for boaters:
- Don't allow children to boat or swim alone.
- Watch out for other boaters and swimmers.
- Operate your boat at safe speeds, especially at night.
- Never anchor your boat in an area below a dam.
- Don't enter restricted areas marked by buoys, booms, cables or signs.
- Be a courteous boater.
- Follow the "rules of the road."
Anyone who sees unsafe activities can contact TVA Police at 800-824-3861 or their local law enforcement agencies.
More information and safety tips can be found on the TVA website at www.tva.com/river/navigation/rules_road.htm or for more child-oriented information, visit www.tvakids.com/river/watersafety.htm.
The Tennessee Valley Authority, a corporation owned by the U.S. government, provides electricity for utility and business customers in most of Tennessee and parts of Alabama, Mississippi, Kentucky, Georgia, North Carolina and Virginia – an area of 80,000 square miles with a population of 9 million. TVA operates 29 hydroelectric dams, 11 coal-fired power plants, three nuclear plants and 11 natural gas-fired power facilities that can produce about 34,000 megawatts of electricity, delivered over 16,000 miles of high-voltage power lines. TVA also provides flood control, navigation, land management and recreation for the Tennessee River system and works with local utilities and state and local governments to promote economic development across the region. TVA, which makes no profits and receives no taxpayer money, is funded by sales of electricity to its customers. Electricity prices in TVA's service territory are below the national average.

Several North Kamloops homes were evacuated Saturday night during a six-hour standoff with a suicidal man who barricaded himself in his home armed with several guns.
The 30-year-old man's wife called police at around 5:45 p.m. Saturday to report that her husband was upset over marital and financial problems.
She said he was in their bedroom with a gun and had threatened to commit suicide so she gathered six children and left the house at 225 Spruce St.
Responding officers entered the house early on and tried to convince the man, who had no previous encounters with police, to come out of the bedroom unarmed.
During negotiations, the man said he intended to force police to shoot him by approaching them armed with a knife.
Police left the house to avoid that situation.
An RCMP cordon was set up around the house and all nearby homes were evacuated, including the Georgian Court transition housing complex.
Emergency social services took the evacuees to temporary accommodations.
Negotiations continued by phone with little success, so just before 11 p.m. the RCMP emergency response team was dispatched from Kelowna to attend.
Around 20 minutes later, before the Kelowna team arrived, a police negotiator succeeded in talking the suspect into leaving his house unarmed.
The man was arrested without incident by heavily armed police and was taken to Royal Inland Hospital for assessment.
Police cleared the residence and seized a 22-calibre rifle, 12-gauge shotgun and 300-calibre rifle with ammunition.
The suspect was held overnight and no formal charges have yet been laid.

This scene seems more like an art installation than an accident. The heat wave in London caused these early autumn leaves to stick on the non-slip section of the road. It makes me think of the Land Art artists who would use landscapes and nature in their work, similar to the work of Christo and Jeane-Claude.

Leaves stick to the road on Oct. 5 in London. A combination of late Summer high temperatures and an early fall of leaves onto a sticky non-slip section of road tarmac created a leafy collage.

Back in the summer and early fall, there was a great deal of consternation about why it seemed so many men's basketball prospects were being declared nonqualifiers. The biggest reason is that nontraditional courses had to meet a much higher bar that before. That left fewer "quick fixes" available to athletes who were just short of being qualifiers.
Now a new trend has started, one foreshadowed back in the fall. Instead of reclassifying to the following academic year, some men's basketball prospects are completing the initial eligibility requirements during the fall semester and enrolling in the spring. This makes them eligible to start playing and practicing once the fall semester or quarter ends.
This is allowed because while men's basketball has rules against midyear transfers competing right away, there is no such rule for incoming freshmen. As an example, here is Bylaw 126.96.36.199.3, which covers a midyear transfer from a junior college by a student-athlete who was not a qualifier:
Bylaw 188.8.131.52.3 – Baseball and Basketball – Midyear Enrollee.
In baseball and basketball, a student who was not a qualifier (per Bylaw 220.127.116.11) who satisfies the provisions of Bylaw 184.108.40.206, but initially enrolls at a certifying institution as a full-time student after the conclusion of the institution's first term of the academic year, shall not be eligible for competition until the ensuing academic year.
There are similar rules for a junior college transfer who was a qualifier, a 4–2–4 transfer, and a transfer from a four-year college who qualifies for an exception to the one-year residence requirement. The only missing situation is an incoming freshman.
A prospect who fails to qualify is, according to the NCAA's definition, not yet ready to handle the rigors of both college academics and Division I competition. Even though these prospects eventually completed the requirements, they required extra time and in some cases a different environment (i.e. prep school). It is a population that definitely needs extra attention and resources.
But by coming in as midyear enrollees, these prospects seem to have increased the degree of difficulty. Instead of acclimating to college before the basketball season tips off, they jump straight into midseason basketball activities, then are expected to add a full academic load on top of that. Midyear enrollees also have a tougher adjustment to college without many of the same orientation activities that happen in the fall. Not to mention that professors generally assume that most freshmen have a semester of college under their belt in the spring.
A similar issue is being debated in football surrounding spring enrollees. To enroll in the spring, prospects must complete the initial eligibility requirements in seven rather than eight semesters. But some spring enrollees are not on track to be qualifers after eight semesters when they start their senior year. That raises the question of whether it is academically sound to go from behind to ahead in a shortened time frame.
Luckily, the NCAA members do not need to rely on what seems right. If the trend continues, there will eventually be a large enough set of data to determine if nonqualifiers who are get eligible and enroll in the spring graduate, stay eligible, and are retained at a significantly lower rate. At that point, it is just a question of what type of rule might fix it. Something like this perhaps:
Bylaw 188.8.131.52.3 – Men's Basketball – Midyear Enrollee (DRAFT).
In men's basketball, a student-athlete is not eligible for competition until the following academic year if:
- The student-athlete was not a qualifier based on his academic record as of the first day of classes for the certifying institution's first term of the academic year; and
- The student-athlete enrolls at the certifying institution following the completion of the first term.
(Note: This rule does not exist and is not being discussed anywhere but in this post.)
Obviously there are many possible tweaks. Including more sports, including qualifiers, fiddling with dates, etc. A rule like that would create a strong incentive to go to prep school for a whole year, while not preventing an athlete from enrolling if that is ultimately his choice and a scholarship is available (although new conference nonqualifier rules could do just that).
That is all down the road though. There is never a problem until there is a problem, and right now there is only a potential problem. Something to keep an eye on, and maybe down the road something that requires a response.

IO Interactive have dropped the new trailer for [app=8269]Hitman: Absolution[/app], fresh outta the VGA's. Purportedly rendered entirely in the new "Glacier 2" engine (what's with these ice-themed engine names?), the trailer shows the eponymous Agent 47 brutally killing a whole lot of people, as well as shots of a sometimes-dead, sometimes-alive woman who one assumes is his ICA handler Diana Burnwood. Enjoy! Somewhat confusedly, as I also did.

Good for belaying leader | |
Reviewed By Klaas, 13 Mar 2013 | |
These belay devices are fine and this one is particularly light with slots to lose weight. However, I bought this for easy belaying of seconders but the friction with a normal 10.2mm single rope is huge in the "guide" mode. It might work OK with a double 7 or 8mm but I have not been able to test that. |
Top class belay device! Must get! | |
Reviewed By Ryan, 12 Mar 2013 | |
I own two of these devices. I don't normally give feedback on belay devices However.. The Black Diamond ATC Guide is definitely an exeption. Comparing prices, it may not be the cheapest, but not the most expensive. I have used this belay device on both single rope and twin rope. Works perfectly on both. Even for begginers i suggest you go for a good quality one for when you begin going for trad climbing and using it on guide mode, self belay etc. this is a MUST buy ladies and gentlemen!! |
Extremely useful and versatile | |
Reviewed By Eoin, 30 Jan 2013 | |
I bought this ATC about a month ago, i have used this on some multi pitch climbs and found it very useful i like the way its simple and easy to use both indoor and out. i would therefor recommend this product anyone, though it may be more expensive than other bugs it can be used in any situation. Overall it is a pretty awesome belay |
Best belay device ever. | |

Great piece of kit - simple, and works. great for taking groups of people climbing, or rigging simple pulley systems too! highly recommend this or the XP to anyone. |

Old Navy Saves The Day
5 comments:
When I visited New York, I loved Old NAvy...but I can't believe the prices you paid. Wooooah!! Cheap as cheaps - and still gorgeous!!
I'm just starting a 30 for 30: Maternity, where I have to choose 30 items and remix only those items for 30 days - cross your fingers for me - I'm nervous!!
SarahxMy daughter-in-law took me to Kid to Kid (they are all over the valley) and they have lots of maternity clothes. They take most anything you bring in in shape, for either cash or store credit. I brought in some yard sale items (youth bed and toys) and then gave my daughter-in-law the credit for her to spend whenever. She's expecting twins.
ReplyDeleteI actually love Old Navy (in general) and it has been the main place that I have gotten my maternity clothes. I am 37 weeks now ( :) ) and ALL of the jeans I bought throughout my pregnancy have been from there. I also bought a few tank tops and long sleeve shirts from Target (Liz Lange Maternity) and have LOVED those a lot!! You are adorable and I'm glad you got such great deals!! (Oh...and the BEST maternity purchase that I have made is by far these maternity leggings from old navy - http://oldnavy.gap.com/browse/product.do?cid=58363&vid=1&pid=691581&scid=691581002 - I found mine in the store (on sale for $9.00), but since I bought them, I haven't been able to find them in the store again. They do have them online currently (in black and charcoal). They are my FAVORITE things because they sit under my belly and don't make me feel like a stuffed sausage!! lol)

Customer Reviews
Functional Product
I really like how bright the LED is when I'm reading. This sconce is probably the most functional lighting i have in my whole apartment. By:Hallee , Renter (New Jersey)
Great Compromise
This beside lamp is a great compromise between having a simple sconce and a pointed reading lamp, something my husband and I couldn't quite agree on. The only downside, for me, is that I find the light from the LED very cold, and in my bedside lamp, I want a bit more warmth. However, it has form and function going for it, which puts it heads and tails above the other sconce/reading light options. By:Jane E. (Seattle, WA)
I've been looking for this all my life.
Finally a bedside reading light that is attractive. The lamp is made of very good quality materials. I got the plug-in version as I am renting. The cord is not your regular plastic but a braided white fabric around the cord. The lamp looks really cool when it's lit in the retracted position, just a mood light and the extended reading feature works well and gives a bright light. By:Nico (Venice, CA)
