About Quodoushka Spiritual Sexuality Levels 1-4
Based in ancient shamanic traditions, the experience of Quodoushka will change the course of your life forever. This series of spiritual sexuality workshops will empower you to be a more sensitive, creative lover and will help you enjoy the intimacy you deserve in your relationships.
Since 1985 Quodoushka workshops have empowered people around the world to unlock their deep seeded blocks against pleasure and to have greater health, hope, happiness, harmony and humor in their sexual lives
Quodoushka workshops include:
Practical exercises to reach higher levels of orgasm, renew relationships, and discover the healing power of sex
- Demonstrates how to identify and best please the nine male and female genital anatomy types—such as Coyote Man or Buffalo Woman
- Provides exercises for greater sexual pleasure and orgasmic intensity, including the Firebreath exercise for full-body orgasm
- Explains how to perform powerful healing sexual energetic work with the chakras and light body
Based on ancient Mayan, Olmec, and Toltec teachings passed down through the generations by the Twisted Hair Nagual Elders of the Sweet Medicine Path, Quodoushka offers practical guidance on sex, intimacy, and relationships as well as how to reach higher levels of orgasm and sexual ecstasy. Working with the healing power of sexual union and orgasm, this practice offers a path to repair emotional wounds and sexual insecurities, revive monotonous relationships, and discover the sweet medicine of sex.
Discovering Quodoushka Spiritual Sexuality
"Since most of us come from families where meaningful guidance about sex was scant if it existed at all, many of us are hungry to find sensible approaches for creating healthy intimate relationships. For me, discovering the teachings and practices of Quodoushka dramatically changed the course of my life. They not only offered an inspiring system of integrated knowledge, they expanded my whole view of sex, orgasms and relationships. They helped me accept the unique characteristics of my sexual anatomy and most importantly, showed me how we can learn through pleasure in order to become more sensitive, creative lovers." Amara Charles

These are some of the common Questions people ask about Quodoushka Spiritual Sexuality Workshops.
Can I come to a Quodoushka Workshop without a partner?
Yes! You may attend Quodoushka I and II as a single or attend with a partner.
For Quodoushka Three, you must attend with a partner.
Is it better to come with a partner?
Many people ask this question because they think, 'oh, I can't explore anything about my sexuality until I have a partner.'
I would say, please do not wait to have a partner to attend a Quodoushka!
It's a common relationship mistake to think that our sexual sense of ourselves comes from outside. The truth is, our life force energy is ours, and until we feel good, whole and healthy in our own skin, and until we learn to accept ourselves we really have trouble deserving pleasure from someone else. And there is so much to explore about ourselves sexually. You may experience intimate feelings you never really articulated or even thought possible…
If you attend as a single, (even if you have a partner), you will untangle so
many beliefs about sex, and get so clear about your own feelings that you will return to your everyday life with such an attractive glow about you that people will ask you , 'what happened?'
(we hear this all the time.)
But most important, you will not only be blessed with a temporary glow, you will learn practical intimate communication skills that will enhance your relationships for a life time.
That's why I say 'Do not wait to attend a Quodoushka' . If you attend as a single now You'll be in a much better place within your self to find, attract, or rekindle a current relationship.
What if I want to come with my partner?
Of course you can come with your partner, and if you choose, you can do all the exercises together to share an exquisite and profound healing space for your relationship. The Quodoushka experience is simply an amazing, intimate way to celebrate your union. You will learn ways to talk about and make clear sexual agreements around things most of us, often mistakenly take for granted.
We've even had couples who chose to come to Quodoushka to celebrate their honeymoon, and to recharge a 'broken' relationship.
If you think you already know what your partner likes and wants it's more than likely not exactly so. All partners can benefit from learning more, especially about your self first. There's so much that happens in both QI and QII that will give you practical insights about how to shift habits and patterns that keep you stuck in doing the same things over and over in your intimate life.
While we cannot guarantee Quodoushka will fix every issue in your relationship, we can say you will receive the tools to create enduring and more fulfilling sexual intimacy.
What if my partner does not want to go?
It's often the case that one partner wants to go and one is not ready. I always say, if that's the case, one of you should go, make clear agreements, and then share what you've learned with your beloved. (if you need help doing this, our staff is here to help you before and after the Q.)
Many times, when one partner goes, later, when they've seen the positive changes, the other partner wants to attend! Then you can have one go as a single, or you can both come to experience the Quodoushka together.
What if I am Gay, will I benefit? Are Gay people welcome?
Quodoushka is open to all sexual preferences. We honor and teach that we all have a choice about what kind of relationship we could best learn and grow from. It's one of the most accepting and loving spaces you will find to celebrate, share and express who you truly are.
If you have questions or concerns about how you would like to participate, our staff is ready to help you before, during, and after the Q.
What About Sexual Safety?
We take great care to create a sexually safe environment, and we fully advocate and practice safe sexual practices.
Is there nudity in Quodoushka?
This is the next big question. First of all, in all Quodoushka Workshops there is never anything that you must do. There's so many things in our sexuality that we do because other people told us to, or because other people wanted something. Sometimes we were not sure what we wanted, and sometimes we didn't know how to no and maybe regretted that. All these sorts of things happen in our intimate life.
That's why there's a great focus in the Q1 is getting to YOUR own 'Yes. This is what I want'. And, about getting clear about YOUR own 'No. This is not what I want."
The Q1 experience is about learning to feel, clarify and express what we want in our intimate life. And it's a chance to practice saying it.
This is a round about way of saying that there will never be anything in a Quodoushka workshop that you need to do if you don't want to. You will always be at choice every step of the way. So with nudity,
you may practice everything clothed, or you may choose to do the exercises without clothing. That's entirely up to you. I will say that the vast majority of people who come to Quodoushka experience a level of safety and respect with a group they've never felt in their lives. So, if you're nervous about that, please don't worry, a lot of other people are too. The most important thing is that Quodoushka is a safe place to practice making and expressing your own sexual agreements.
I think the hidden question is, and perhaps the question people want to ask but often shy away from, is about the other people. They wonder if there will be sexual advances, or if there will be sexually explicit things going on.
Firstly, our trained staff speaks directly to every person who attends Quodoushka to determine whether they are ready to attend and there are no sexually explicit exercises in QI or QII. We do have frank discussions about sexuality, orgasms and sexual anatomy, and there are exercises that involve touch. We encourage an atmosphere where it is okay to talk about, feel and express orgasmic energy, and each person is at choice
with how they make agreements and do each exercise.
About the Exercises:
First, every exercise is demonstrated, then you practice the exercise with a partner, and then we gather to discuss what we learned.
Some exercises are solo, some are with a partner, and some we do together as a group.
Finally, most people of course want to know:
What happens in a Quodoushka?
While we do not provide a schedule for Quodoushka, this is the general flow of the 3 1/2 day workshop. (unless it is an extended Q):
Please Note: These are just the bare bones of what happens in Quodoushka. (I have intentionally left out some of the most unique, fun and special things that happen during the weekend. Why? Because some people just love to be surprised.)
Also: each Quodoushka Teacher may position topics and exercises in their own unique way. Every Quodoushka Workshop includes these essential teachings, exercises and practices.
First Evening
We open with introductions and a history of where the Quodoushka teachings come from. We do a few spoken teachings on relationship choices, and we use these teachings to share and listen to everyone's intent for being here. This is followed by a ceremony to help everyone set their own intention for the weekend.
We also create specific agreements for the group including the rules for safety and confidentiality. This ensures our rules of engagement during the weekend provides a safe container and a safe environment for each person to learn about and explore their sexuality.
First Day
We begin with morning teachings to open our senses and balance our energy.
This is followed with exercises that bring these teachings into the body, such as chakra balancing as well as other exercises which show us how to use our energy centers.
We serve a beautiful lunch each day.
This rest of the day is devoted to expanding our concept and awareness of what sexual energy is and what it isn't. The afternoon is filled with more teachings about how we can feel, sense and use our energy centers in very specific ways to expand our awareness of self, life and others.
The evening is devoted to the demonstration and practice of a Shamanic Healing practice used to clear away blocks and pave the way for being able to feel more pleasure in the body.
We do late into the evening. (see your particular Q Schedule to see beginning, meal and ending times).
Second Day
This is an amazing day of discovering new things about your sexual self.
There are interactive teachings and healing exercises to help us ground, feel and express a more empowered sense of self. Teachings during the morning provide answers to questions about why we sometimes react so childishly, or with so much negative emotion when it comes to intimacy and sex. We start the day practical tools to help us see our selves with more awareness so we can wake up and take responsibility for what we want.
The afternoon is devoted to a very special Shamanic ceremony that is designed to help you lift deeply held layers of shame and guilt about our sexuality.
The evening's exercise and ceremony is designed to bring out different faces of your lover's persona, and it's designed to help you accept and feel worthy of more pleasure in your life.
Day Three
Part of the last day is devoted to learning amazing things about orgasms, levels of orgasms, and types of orgasms. There's also ample space given to sharing and and expressing the things we've learned and gained.
One of the most significant things that happens in every Quodoushka is that you will have the chance to hear other people's journey; what they've gained and what they're giving away. In fact, sharing personal blocks, defeats and victories is one of the hidden treasures that happens in every Quodoushka, and it's also where much of the healing happens, for we realize again and again, we are not alone.
Plus, sharing within the Q Matrix is profoundly uplifting, for you will not hear or experience these kinds of amazing intimate breakthroughs anywhere else in the world.
Our final closing ceremonies are designed to help us ground our gains and seal the love to take it home into all our relations.
In beauty, Amara

Private Coaching with Amara Charles
Private Coaching with Amara Charles
My mission is to help others find peace, passion and purpose in their intimate lives so they can do what they came here to do
I've been working for over twenty years mentoring, coaching and guiding individuals and couples to realize their purpose through strengthening their bonds of intimacy.
I create what I call an orbit of influence where you and I partner to realize your highest possibilities.
Over the years I've seen how having a healthy, intimate relationship makes all the difference in life. I am passionate supporting people to resolve issues, plan creative projects and realize their dreams. .
I not only give tools to clear away blocks to sexual happiness, I provide detailed teachings, practices, inspiration, techniques or ceremonies – whatever I feel works best for you – to support you in enjoying the happiness you deserve.
How My Orbit Coaching Works
I rarely do single sessions these days because I prefer creating an 'orbit' of closeness, connection and commitment that lasts over time. Currently an Orbit consists of 10 sessions spread over several months.
I can only accept a certain amount of people to create a coaching connection with. There is currently a waiting list for my Orbit Coaching.
I offer a free session to see whether we might enjoy working together. This offer is only for people I have actually met. Please email me if you'd like to arrange a short session by phone to explore possibilities.
Find Out More
Please Note: If we have not met yet, and you'd like to be on the Orbit list, please write me a letter of request.

Skip Strittmatter has announced her plans to retire from the DuPage Convention and Visitors Bureau in July 2014, but this may change depending on the time frame for naming her successor. She plans to remain available as an adviser to the new director, as needed, to ensure a smooth leadership transition.
Strittmatter celebrated 20 years with the bureau Dec. 6. When she joined the bureau as executive director in 1993, it had a three-person staff and was housed in a small county office. Today, the bureau employs 12 full-time staff members, augmented by part-time contractors and interns.
During her tenure, the bureau's budget has grown from $50,000 to over $2.5 million.
Over her two decades of service, the DuPage Convention and Visitors Bureau has provided support when DuPage County hosted prestigious events such as the 2012 Ryder Cup, The Professional Golfers' Association of America Championships, BMW Championship, The Ladies Professional Golf Association Solheim Cup, The National Collegiate Athletic Association Track & Field Championships, NIKE Tournament of Champions, Junior World Figure Skating, State Wars National Inline Hockey Tournament and The National Bowling Association Tournaments.
Strittmatter has served as president of the Illinois Council of Convention & Visitors Bureaus and Chicago Plus, and a board member for Visit Illinois. She sits on the boards for Choose DuPage and the DuPage County Workforce. She has been honored as an Influential Woman in Business by The Business Ledger and the College of DuPage's Outstanding Travel Professional, and she has been featured in Crain's Chicago Business.
A search team has been appointed by the board, which includes Strittmatter, and an executive search is underway to determine her replacement. Qualified individuals should email their resumes to firstname.lastname@example.com by May 9.
For more information and a job description, contact Strittmatter at 800-232-0502 or email@example.com.

Left parties, TDP strongly against formation of separate State
BOODHAN POCHAMPALLY( Nalgonda dist): The UPA sub-committee on Telangana is still consulting leaders of different political parties and trying to reach a consensus about carving out a separate State.
Speaking to presspersons here on Monday, Union Minister for Rural Development Raghuvansh Prasad Singh said though the sub-committee had asked for consultative meetings to be held on the issue once a month, only two such meetings had taken place until now.
"While some parties are in support and some are opposed to the idea of a separate Telangana State, others are silent. I will leave it to you to draw your own conclusions," said Mr. Singh, who is a member of the sub-committee.
Elaborating, he said while the RJD, NCP, BSP and RPI were in favour of Telangana, the Left parties and TDP were strongly against the formation of a separate State. The Congress, BJP, DMK and BJD were keeping mum on the issue.
To a question, the RJD leader said, "When we can remove unemployment, the demand of Telangana too will vanish."
Later, talking to reporters at Hyderabad, Mr. Singh wondered how Telangana could be achieved when there was no consensus among the major political parties. Even in the eventuality of Congress favouring it, how could it be achieved when the Left was opposed, he asked.
He said the BJP had not yet sent its opinion to the sub-committee.

Children's Hospital in the News
Press Releases
Children receiving care at St. Louis Children's Hospital will experience the healing power of play thanks to a grant awarded to the hospital by the Mattel Children's Foundation in conjunction with the Children's Hospital Association.
Improved communication among health-care providers during shift changes reduced injuries due to medical errors by 30 percent, according to a federally funded, multicenter study.
St. Louis Children's Hospital has been recognized as a "Leader in LGBT Healthcare Equality" by the Human Rights Campaign (HRC) Foundation, the educational arm of the country's largest lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) civil rights organization.
It's not the programs, it's the partnerships that create an environment where children flourish, according to Reverend Starsky Wilson, president and CEO of Deaconess Foundation. Wilson received the annual Child Advocacy Award Tuesday for his role as a catalyst in these critical community partnerships.

2014 NFL Draft Picks By Team: Falcons
Round 1, Pick 6 Jake Matthews, OT, Texas A&MRanked #6 in our Top 100 Prospects List
University of Texas A&M offensive tackle Jake Matthews decision to return to school looks to have paid off as he is a top prospect for the 2014 NFL Draft. The senior elevated his game and provided a cornerstone for the Texas A&M offense. At just a touch over 6'5", Matthews has excellent height and length for the position and should be an All-Pro caliber star. Excellent get up from off the line in pass protection. Great hand usage and sets the tone with heavy smacks and punches. Stands a little tall when expecting a bull rush. Anticipates well, but will also over-commit on occasion, which can lead to being beat by double moves, especially to the inside shoulder. Lunges and becomes off-balance against some speed rushers. Rather than becoming upright, needs to adapt to NFL speed and strength by leaning (or placing his weight into the defender). Excellent technique at this point. Excellent ability to misdirect defender out of harm's way. Plays to the whistle. Good, but not great lower body strength. Not a pile-driver when run blocking. Good hand placement when establishing point of attack. Aggressive style of play. No concerns at all off-the-field or on. Excellent family pedigree... [Read More]
Round 2, Pick 5 Ra'Shede Hageman, DL , MinnesotaRanked #30 in our Top 100 Prospects List
Hageman is the prototypical defensive tackle with excellent height, weight and strength. He anchored the Minnesota Gophers' defensive line with his ideal athleticism. Can handle his own against double teams and occasionally split them to disrupt the backfield. A bit limited in his range. Must not allow blockers to use his height against him due to pad level inconsistency. Took it upon himself to make plays and showed a lack of discipline to stay on assignment in his gaps. Will hold ground against blockers and resists being pushed back. Zone blocking schemes can sometimes push him off his line. Good swim move and bull rush. Really tough to contain when he gets his hands inside. Doesn't have enough moves when pass rushing. Must use hands more to fight for position and leverage. Above-average effort. Will be best used in a rotation. Doesn't currently have the stamina to really bring it for all four quarters. Solid burst coming off the line. Hageman projects as a late first rounder in the 2014 NFL Draft.... [Read More]

If my and my DH's situations were exactly reversed, with me having the career that he does and the hours and shifts that come with it as part and parcel of the job, and he were at home with one child and able to fit his sporadic freelance work in quite easily when she was sleeping or at school, then yes, absolutely.
In reality, he'd be miserable as a SAHD and I'd be miserable doing what he does (not to mention completely unqualified!), so it's hard to seriously imagine that.

6 minutes a day....to me the hassle (if hassle = unnecessary annoyance) of even having to be there at a certain time to let them in, and to leave certain areas dirty for a day or two because the cleaner's coming on Friday and that's what they're planning on doing, would outweight the benefit of saving myself 6 whole minutes a day.

The baseball coach at Shanley High School in Fargo, whose team won the North Dakota state baseball title last season, said he has been fired as the result of a text message that he sent to his team.
According to the Fargo Forum newspaper, coach Joel Swanson said that a parent has complained and school officials "told me the text message was considered threatening in tone and wording."
Swanson started the Shanley baseball program in 1999 and has been its only coach. The situation has some parallels to that of the former baseball coach at Mounds View High School, Jon Nuss, who lost his job after leading his team to the Minnesota Class 3A title in June and winning a Coach of the Year honor.
Swanson provided Forum reporter Tom Mix with a copy of a letter that he had sent to Shanley administrators, which he said included the text message. Here's what he told the players:
"We are two months into open gyms and obviously all of you are satisfied with last year's title. We are the team that will have a target on our backs. We are the team that everyone throws their ace against. We are the team everyone wants to beat this year. I am sick of stupid excuses to not come to open gym. … If you want to be an athlete commit to it. One hour a week is not too much to ask if you want to be an athlete.
"If you make an excuse not to come then you are telling me what kind of athlete you are. I cannot require you to come but I thought I would have a group excited to try and defend a title. Not to make excuses and not care. Some of you are not even in a sport right now, which is even more pathetic. … I will not send out another message like this, but some of you may be in for a rude awakening when the season comes and you are not in the lineup due to a younger player that puts in the time."
When reporter Mix contacted Shanley's activities director, the firing was confirmed but he was told that it was a personnel matter and details could not be discussed.
Last year, the Minnesota Legislature approved a law that bars schools from firing a coach solely because of complaints by parents. No such law exists in North Dakota.

It requires reporting on energy efficient construction in cities and counties, allows schools to use dollars saved on energy to invest the dollars saved in greater energy saving and renewable energy devices, and allows establishment of an energy and water savings account for schools that consists of a designated pool of capital investment dollars to fund energy and water saving projects in the school facilities.
It requires that schools, universities and state buildings get 10 percent of their energy from renewable energy resources and efficiency measures such as combined heat and power by 2015. It requires that schools reduce average energy use district wide by ten per cent per square foot of floor area on or before July 1, 2012, by fifteen per cent per square foot of floor area on or before July 1, 2016 and by twenty per cent per square foot of floor area on or before July 1, 2019, using the school district-wide average for July 1, 2001 through June 30, 2002 as the baseline year. It requires state buildings to reduce energy use by twenty per cent per square foot of floor area on or before July 1, 2015 and by thirty per cent per square foot of floor area on or before July 1, 2020,
It adds energy efficiency standards for Portable Electric Spas, Residential Pool Pumps and Residential Pool Pump Motors.
The bill includes additional measures as well.
We hope you will support this bill as energy efficiency is the cleanest and cheapest energy resource and the state should be leading by example.

This bill makes changes and additions to statute relating to energy efficiency and renewable energy, including performance contracting for school districts and state buildings, and building energy goals.
Energy Efficient Construction and Voluntary Goals
Requires cities, towns and counties to collect information as part of their standard permitting process regarding whether a residential or commercial building will meet energy efficiency standards (with four flexible options). This information will be compiled and reported by the Department of Commerce (DOC) Energy Office.
Establishes a voluntary goal for energy efficient construction of new residential and commercial buildings, as a policy goal to be 15% more energy efficient in 2012, 30% more efficient in 2016, and 50% more efficient in 2020, relative to IECC 2006 (International Energy Conservation Code).
Energy Performance Contracting
Includes improvements to the existing performance contracting statutes to make energy performance contracting easier to implement and more effective for schools and state agencies. With performance contracting, there is no upfront additional cost (the installer or third party finances the installation), and the energy cost savings are used to pay back the project costs over time.
School Energy and Water Saving Measures, Transfer Account
Enables schools to install energy and water saving measures, reduce their total utility costs, and use the money saved to pay for the energy and water saving projects. The performance contracting statutes are improved so that the energy and water savings can be achieved without any fiscal impact to the state.
Creates an Energy and Water Savings Account, which is a transfer account that allows a school to use the energy cost savings in M&O to pay for the capital costs of the energy and water savings measures. Can also use monies received from utilities, energy or water service companies, federal grants or other funding.
Energy Efficiency for Public Buildings and Schools
Extends the goal for DOA, ABOR and ADOT to reduce energy use in public buildings to 15% by 2011 (existing goal), 20% by 2015 and 30% by 2020. The baseline year remains fiscal year 2001-2002.
Requires all school districts to reduce energy use by 10% per square foot of floor area by July 1, 2012; 15% by July 1, 2016; and 20% by July 1, 2019.
Requires school districts, community colleges and universities to use products that are certified as Energy Star or certified by the Federal Energy Management Program, unless the products are not cost-effective.
By July 1, 2015, all state agencies, universities and school districts must use or purchase at least 10% of their energy from renewable and non-polluting sources. Power purchase agreements (PPAs) can be used by state agencies and schools to purchase renewable energy with no upfront cost and no impact on the state budget.
Requires all state agency buildings constructed after July 1, 2010 to conform to LEED standards or an equivalent green building rating standard. Performance contracting can also be used on new buildings so that the energy savings can be used to pay for any additional incremental costs over time.
Standard Valuation (No Additional Value) for Property Tax Purposes
Energy efficiency and renewable energy are considered to add no value for the purposes of a tax appraisal.
Appliance Energy Efficiency Standards
Updates Arizonas appliance standards by adding two new energy efficiency standards not currently covered by federal standards: pool pumps and portable electric spas.

School Nurses: Who Works a Second Job?
- 0Dec 12, '13 by uthscsa2011Hello fellow nurses,
Do any of your work a second job? For those work a 7-4pm school day, do any of your go straight to the hospital after work for a few days a week? Does anyone work home health on the weekends? Just curious to see how many school nurses work 2 jobs!
- 0Dec 12, '13 by uthscsa2011Forgive my post! I was typing tooo fast ! lol
- 0Dec 12, '13 by NutmeggeRNI do per diem at a local LTC Some weekends sometimes (usually on a Fri 3-10) sometimes if they are really desperate I'll go in 3-7 or 8 but that is tough when I have to get up for school in the AM, but it keeps my foot in the door for summer vacation.
- 0Dec 12, '13 by Spidey's mom, ADN, BSN, RN GuideI work hospice part-time. I see patients on Monday and then am on call Mon/Tues/Wed nights. I work at the district Tuesday, Thursday, Friday. I do one weekend a month on call for hospice.
I was hospice first - then did the school nurse gig for medical insurance.
- 0Dec 16, '13 by Jen-Elizabeth, BSN, RNCurrently, nope. I work 7:30-4:30, which doesn't leave much room for anything else - I am so wiped after a school day! Luckily, my husband and I can manage just fine right now.
Last summer (and hopefully this summer), I actually taught technical theater at a theater camp; non-nursing, but another passion of mine . Keeping my eye out for camp jobs this summer, nursing and theater.
- 1Dec 16, '13 by fetch, RNGoodness JenElizabeth, we could be career-twins! I too am a school nurse now, after a degree and several years working in technical theater. Never thought of looking for a theater camp job though, will have to keep that in mind for the future.
As for the OP's question - I am not currently working a second job, though the pharmacy I used to work at has asked if I would consider returning part time. It barely pays over minimum wage though, and I'm financially ok right now, so I'm hesitant. On the other hand, even a little bit more to save up for summer would be nice (my district doesn't offer 12 month paydays).

Some large investors, such as Black Rock and PIMCO, issued statements to say they would become partners.
"This is perhaps the first win-win-win policy to be put on the table, and it should be welcomed enthusiastically," said Bill Gross, PIMCO's chief investment officer, in an interview with Reuters. "We intend to participate and do our part to serve clients as well as promote economic recovery."
Some private economists also said the plan could work.
"It's a relatively efficient way to get the bad assets off banks' books," says Mark Zandi of Moody's Economy.com.
Bad assets of $1 trillion?
The Federal Reserve is now putting the banks through "stress tests" to determine how much additional capital they might need if the economy worsens. Bank analysts expect that the Fed, in the course of these examinations, will also get a better idea of the amount of bad loans in the banks' portfolios. Mr. Zandi estimates the bad loans are now as much as $1 trillion.
Although many of these loans are on the books of large banks such as Citigroup and Bank of America, the latest program will also help many of the regional banks that are now carrying troubled loans.

Creme of Nature Argan Oil Moisture & Shine Shampoo12 oz | Cleanser, Sulfate-Free Shampoo

(Rated 5/5 based on 12 reviews) Login to add your review
Great sulfate-free shampoo! These are hard for me to find as co-washing alone doesn't suffice for properly cleansing my hair. My hair felt moisturized after rinsing this out and a little (half-dollar size) goes a long way. I will use this as long as I'm able to :)
Best shampoo. A detangling shampoo that I feel works better than the SheaMoisture moisture retention shampoo and the $17 Agadir argan oil shampoo. Does not leave hair stripped. I had less shedding than normal because my curls didn't clump together. 20oz bottle at Sallys and plan to use every last drop! 4/5 because it is not all natural
This shampoo is really good since it always leaves the hair soft after each use. My hair is very thick so I have to use a lot to clean my hair and it NEVER leaves my hair stripped but rather hydrated.
I REALLLYYY like this shampoo . This is a very hydrating shampoo it feels moisturizing and it cleanses well . I have thick, coarse, coily hair and i use this shampoo after i use clarifying green tea aubrey shampoo. The cost isnt bad either which is why it gets 5 curls
Favorite shampoo. It worked on my relaxed hair and is still my favorite shampoo for my natural hair. It leaves my curls feeling clean, moisturized, and detangled.
This is one of my favorite shampoos, next to Elasta QP's Creme Conditioning Shampoo. I love the scent, it's excellent at detangling my hair, and cleanses my scalp extremely well. My hair never feels stripped completely of its moisture, and it's very reasonably priced.
I recently bought this shampoo and I love it! It's cleansing, but not stripping at all. I absolutely love the scent all of the products in this line have. I find it intoxicating and it really lingers in the hair, especially when used in conjunction with other products from this line. It really does moisturize the hair and my hair is always soft and defined afterwards. I would definitely recommend. It has quickly become a staple in my regimen.
My staple shampoo. I love that I can get this on the ground for less then five bucks and it make my hair "feel so fine". My feels soft, moisturized and yummy after using this shampoo alone and if I prepoo beforehand forget about it! You gotta try it!
This is the only shampoo I will use on my hair! It gives you so much moisture and slip that you don't even need a rinse out conditioner afterwards (the conditioner in this line is AWFUL). What's great is that it also cleans your hair, which shampoo is supposed to do but I find many sulfate free shampoos don't do the trick for me. I am not a big fan of creme of nature products, but I am so happy I gave this one a try. I have been using it for well over a year now and I have my sisters and close friends using it to. Try it you won't be disappointed!
Just used this shampoo this morning again--sooo moisturizing and easy to detangle. My hair feels more moisturized than after using a daily conditioner!! Good stuff!
I tried almost all the other products from this line. They have either been mediocre at best but most have caused minor setbacks. But, I LOVE THIS SHAMPOO!!! It's supposed to hydrate and detangle. It certainly delivers on that. Its sulfate free but the amount of lather I get makes me second guess this claim. Either way its still my go to shampoo. I used this every week or two and it has lasted about 4 months. I don't know if you would consider that a good thing or not but for me it was bc I used so much each washing. The only reason why I used so much is bc I simply love the way it feels in my hair. lol It feels like a conditioner. It has so much slip, it blows my mind. My hair feels thoroughly cleansed but not stripped in the least bit. Dear I say, even moisturized. I swear, every time I use this shampoo I'm tempted not to follow up with a conditioner. Yes its that serious! Price? check, Sulfate Free? check, Availability? double check (I can literally find this anywhere, drug stores, grocery stores, bss, online, ANYWHERE! lol) The only con might be the scent. Its overly perfume chemical scent. In the shower its not that bad but if your sensitive to scents this might not be for you. Also, I wish it had more natural and beneficial ingredients. It still gets 5 stars from me!

Altdorf Switzerland
Ch. Keller Design AG
Visitors to the Art House Uri in Altdorf, Switzerland now have the opportunity to experience the latest in lighting and textile design as they view the works of local artist Heinrich Danioth displayed under a SEFAR® Architecture LightFrame modular illuminated fabric ceiling system.
As part of an expansion project, Art House Uri added a hall-shaped extension to the existing museum building to create a permanent home for the works of Danioth. With a diverse collection of contemporary art and exhibitions, the museum wanted to turn its display rooms into a place where visitors can meet and interact.
To create a welcoming environment and present the artwork in the best diffused light possible, the project architect, Ch. Keller Design AG, took inspiration from illumination by skylight. This method of museum illumination can be traced back to the 19th century and the Sir John Sloan Museum in London. The museum used both natural and artificial light sources in conjunction with three large, illuminated ceiling modules featuring SEFAR Architecture's LightFrame system. Each custom LightFrame module measures 9.4 by 7.9 feet. Fluorescent lighting is positioned in the skylights above the LightFrame system as a supplement to the natural daylight.
SEFAR Architecture LightFrame is the only fabric ceiling system available that can provide both significant light diffusion and acoustic improvements. It features dual wrinkle-free, high light-diffusing architectural fabrics biaxially stretched over a razor thin, modular frame system. LightFrame's unique secondary membrane allows it to diffuse light while improving acoustics. The dual membrane system prevents the penetration of debris and bugs that hinder the visual impact of other translucent ceiling products.
"Sefar's LightFrame product is ideal for Art House Uri and other museum applications because it provides excellent lighting conditions for viewing art in the space while improving the room's acoustics," explains Peter Katcha, Director, North American Sales for SEFAR Architecture. "The LightFrame ceiling does not detract from the art. It also can be quickly and easily maintained by the building staff without special training, significantly reducing facility downtime.
The individual LightFrame modules are stretched with two layers of SEFAR Architecture's IA-80-CL PVDF interior acoustic fabric on the visible side that allows 80 percent light transmission. The dual skin system is airtight and eliminates penetration of dust and insects on the fabric membrane, which can inhibit the transference of light over time.
The innovative illuminated fabric ceiling system also provides high levels of diffused and uniform light transmission, improved acoustics and long-lasting resistance to UV light. The low-maintenance material resists moisture and dirt, meets all fire code requirements, and is free of VOCs. In the event of a fire, LightFrame produces very little smoke and instead of dripping, it dissipates.
The Art House Uri project was completed in June 2009. Members of the project team included Ch. Keller Design AG, St. Gallen, Switzerland and installer Krapf AG, Engelburg, Switzerland.
To learn more about SEFAR LightFrame, visit http://www.sefar.us/lightframe.
About SEFAR Architecture: SEFAR Architecture is a leading manufacturer of monofilament precision and ePTFE yarn fabrics and fabric systems for interior and exterior architectural applications. With comprehensive knowledge in textile architecture, Sefar has cooperated with experienced lighting technicians and polymer experts to develop a new generation of fabrics for the architectural and design community. For more information on SEFAR Architecture's products and services, call Peter Katcha at 727-388-4919 or visit www.sefar.us.
The SEFAR LIGHTFRAME Ceiling System incorporates Sefar fabric membranes that are both photometrically optimized for light transmittance and diffusion, and acoustically optimized for sound absorption. LightFrame is the only ceiling system that provides both beneficial characteristics in one complete package.
A LIGHTFRAME unit is comprised of a lightweight and slim aluminum frame with a depth of 3" and a visible profile of less than ½". To this frame, a Sefar membrane of a specific photometric and acoustic property is affixed in tension to become the visible ceiling surface. The upper, unseen surface of the unit is an ETFE translucent film also affixed in tension to the frame. This film helps to achieve the designer's desired photometric and acoustic properties, while preventing contaminates from impacting LigthFrame's visual appeal from below.
Each LIGHTFRAME unit is installed beneath electric lighting fixtures in a manner similar to the installation of a traditional drop ceiling. Electric lighting is transmitted through the LIGHTFRAME unit where it is transmitted in beautifully diffuse manner into the interior space.

5 Investment Ideas From Wall Street: Jan. 20
2.) Fourth-quarter software sales will be weak
Software sales face three major threats in 2012: a slowdown in Europe, negative impact from the U.S. government and a downturn in spending from financial services firms.
According to JP Morgan, Europe, the U.S. government and the financial sector account for almost half of the world's IT spending.
The firm notes that Oracle (ORCL), Red Hat (RHT) and Salesforce.com (CRM) have reported disappointing quarters. Compuware (CPWR)and Software (SOW) have given negative preannouncements. The exception is SAP (SAP), which had a surprisingly strong pre announcement.Indeed Microsoft's (MSFT) corporate earnings, out after Thursday's market close, showed rather lackluster sales. The firm's second quarter profit was flat compared to one year earlier although it beat estimates by 2 cents. The CFO said that the firm is still battling a challenging PC environment with European consumers battered by the region's economic downturn. Microsoft's PC shipments fell 2% to 4%. However, shares were rising 2.2% in premarket trading after the company's earnings of 78 cents a share beat the forecast of 76 cents.

Federal Reserve Bank of New York Launches College Fed Challenge
NYU Stern School wins over teams from Barnard/Columbia, Pace, and SUNY Buffalo
New York -- A team of five students from NYUs Stern School of Business placed first in the Federal Reserve Bank of New Yorks College Fed Challenge. In this competition for undergraduate business and economics students, each team makes a 15-minute presentation in which it analyzes current economic conditions and recommends how the Fed should respond. The judging panel, made up of two senior Fed officials, then engages the team in a 15-minute Q & A session after which the performance is scored.
This is the first year the New York Fed has sponsored a College Fed Challenge in which four colleges/universities from the Second Federal Reserve District were invited to enter. In 1995, the New York Fed launched the Fed Challenge for high school students to promote greater understanding of the role of the Federal Reserve in the U.S. economy. At present, over two hundred fifty high school teams participate in seven Federal Reserve districts. Several years ago, the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond initiated a college version of the program.
The NYU Stern School team was made up of Misha Gupta, Yoni Hornik, Gaurav Kumar, Zavi Patel, and Michael Punzalan. Professor Paul Wachtel acted as faculty advisor.

U.S. Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood on Thursday launched a council tasked with creating a national freight policy.
The creation of the Freight Policy Council, which is chaired by Deputy Transportation Secretary John Pocari, was a key provision in the recently passed $105 billion transport bill. Transportation analysts welcomed the move, but were dismayed that Congress balked at spending a proposed $4 billion to improve a designated freight network of 27,000 miles and roads.
Although the designated freight network doesn't include rail and inland waterway routes, the FPC is a step toward creating a more comprehensive approach to improving the freight system. The strengthening of such a system is key to reaching President Obama's goal of doubling exports by 2015.
The launch of the council comes after the DOT expanded the lending capability of the Railroad Rehabilitation & Improvement Financing program to up to $35 billion annually, and the Obama administration made $473 million in funding originally allocated to earmark projects available to states. The agency has also awarded $953 million in Transportation Investment Generating Economic Recovery (TIGER) grants in recent years, with ports and freight rail projects getting roughly $104 million in the most recent round.
