The woman's body is not always fertile and at risk for pregnancy. In fact, there are several days a month when pregnancy is extremely unlikely. Rhythm Methods (also known as Fertility Awareness Methods) take advantage of the natural cycle of fertility as a birth control method.
What Is It?
The Rhythm Method is a way of preventing pregnancy by understanding the body's natural ovulation cycle and abstaining from sex during a woman's most fertile days. The Rhythm Method is also known as natural family planning, the fertility awareness method, or periodic abstinence.
How Does It Work?
A woman is most likely to get pregnant during ovulation, when the egg is released into the ovaries, which occurs once on month about 12 to 16 days after menstruation. Because sperm can live up to five days in the reproductive tract, a woman is most fertile five days before ovulation, the day of ovulation, and sometimes a day or two after ovulation. If unprotected sex is avoided on those seven days surrounding ovulation, pregnancy is less likely because there is not an egg for the sperm to fertilize.
How Do I Use It?
Every woman's menstruation cycle is different, so it is important to pinpoint exactly when you are ovulating in order for this method to be effective. There are several ways to keep track of fertility. You can use past menstrual cycles to estimate when you are most fertile and mark a calendar when it is safe to have sex. This is called the calendar method or rhythm method. Another method is cervical mucus monitoring or the Billings method. Measuring the consistency and amount of cervical mucus can help you determine when ovulation will occur, as the cervical mucus is most prevalent during and just before ovulation. It is best to talk to your doctor or take a course on fertility awareness before deciding if this is a birth control method that is right for you.
Rhythm Methods are on average 75 to 88 percent effective in preventing pregnancy, but success depends on how well the methods are used. Using multiple methods to determine when ovulation occurs can improve effectiveness.
Rhythm Methods are inexpensive, safe, and don't require any medical devices or medication. There are no side effects to these methods. Understanding and charting ovulation can also help a couple get pregnant when desired, by educating both partners about when the woman is most fertile.
This form of birth control does not protect against sexually transmitted diseases. In order for Fertility Awareness Methods to be effective, both partners need to be involved in the process. If you have more than one sex partner or cannot abstain from sex during your fertile days, the these methods may not be right for you. In addition, some women have difficulty accurately tracking ovulation because of irregular periods.

An odd-lot buyback occurs when a company offers to purchase shares of its stock back from people who hold less than 100 shares.
A popular method that companies use to buy back stocks is called a Dutch auction. Shareholders who are interested in participating in the auction indicate a price range within which they would be willing to sell their stocks back. The company will buy back the shares from the lowest tendered offers, all at the same price. The price is the highest of the accepted offers.
This type of offer makes it less expensive both for the company (due to the reduced cost of servicing these small shareholder accounts) and for the shareholders (because they do not have to pay brokerage fees to sell their shares). A buyback also can increase a stock's price-to-earnings ratio by decreasing the number of outstanding shares.
Some investors consider buybacks when evaluating a particular stock's potential. In the Kiplinger.com article "Winners Among Companies That Buy Back Stock" (March 2005), David Fried states that an odd lot buyback is "an enormous vote of confidence by those who know it best - the company's senior executives," and that "companies buy back stock when they are really undervalued or when there's something positive that's going to happen."

Lots of fun for toddlers!
The Bee Bop Band was given to my daughter as a Christmas gift, and it has been a HUGE hit! It has a great variety of instruments all with fun, bright colors.

Death trap!!!
I usuall love the Parents brand toys but this time I am so upset with the product. My 2 year old daughter loves anything musical so of course I assumed this would be an excellent gift for her!! It is rated as 18 months and up yet she ended up with the drum strap twisted around her neck... Read full review »
Make music - and share with your friends!
I'm loving the Parents brand in general, and this is another great toy (once again purchased from Target for just under $20).
The Parents Bee Bop Band is a drum into which all the other instruments go. It has a strap you can put around your neck, although my daughter finds it a little... Read full review »

Slom Bottle from IKEA
Dept. of Bits & Bobs - We got this really nice water bottle on our table at a small good restaurant called Little Giant. I looked at it and said to Sara, "that's so cool. I bet it's Ikea."
Sure enough. Ikea.
But not in the US. We found it on the Ikea UK site. The owners of LJ must travel.
>> SLOM Bottle
Another import. In the meantime, we've got Lorina bottles...

de ja vu?
deja vu?
You can find bottles like these at any home brewing supply store. The call the easy-cap bottles. The come in a variety of sizes and brown and blue as well as clear.
An old wine bottle works fine as a water carafe too...
I actually bought 5 of these bottles during a trip to Minneapolis in the summer of 2007 from the Ikea beside Mall of America. They are great if you want to bring anything liquid to work because they never leak.
I bought a bunch of these at an Ikea in LA a few years back.
These are at Ikea Brooklyn as well. I use them for infusing vodka.
OMG! Just yesterday I used mine for a homemade spiced simple syrup (water, sugar in the raw, anise and ginger - try it)! I got mine at the IKEA in Hicksville. I'm sure Brooklyn has it too.
I like the Vodka infusing idea... thanks for the tip!
HAHA! @ KTG! I think you make a very good point on the debranding. I'm not sure if they ever set out to "debrand" themselves. As a matter of fact, I'd dare say that they're quite proud of their IKEAnese, and think that this in itself has always been a type of branding (not as in-your-face as other stores) but you know...
There is a great prosecco that comes in a self-stopper bottle. Green tinted, but great for making infusions. Plus, you get to drink the wine first! http://biztos.blogspot.com/2007/05/villa-teresa-prosecco-veneto.html
Canadian Ikeas have them.
It's on the Ikea US site: http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/50108908
They have a few different Slom containers.
Does this glass hold the carbonation well in the homemade soda water? I'd love something a little prettier on my counter than the plastic bottles that came with the Soda St**am.
@MARGI83301 yes! They do. That's exactly what I use them for. I decant the fizzed water straight into these.

Massage to Soothe Your Cranky Baby
Empirical research suggests our appreciation of massage starts early—as tastes go, it's one that needs little acquiring. That's certainly the message behind the growing trend of infant massage, where mothers and fathers (and sometimes caretakers) bond with their wee ones through loving touch and improve their overall health. Parents, nurses, and doctors say that massage helps babies grow better, improves digestion, and eases colic. Studies conducted at the Touch Research Institutes at the University of Miami School of Medicine show that infant massage facilitates weight gain in preterm infants, decreases babies' level of stress hormones, and balances out their sleep/wake cycle. "Nurturing touch is important for children's physical, social, behavioral, mental, and cognitive development," says Linda Garofallou, an infant and pediatric massage therapist at Children's Hospital in Newark, New Jersey. She gives infant massage to patients and also trains others in the technique.
To do an infant massage, choose a time when your baby is well fed and rested. Put a towel in a quiet room for the baby to lie on, choose a natural oil such as coconut, almond, or avocado, and play relaxing music. Assess the baby's receptivity by observing her response to your touch. If she is stiff or tense, then use your intuition: either hold her closely in your arms until she relaxes—or wait for another time. A gazing, quiet, yet alert state means she is ready to begin.
A common stroke, called Indian Milking, entails holding one foot with your hand and then "milking" the leg from the ankle to thigh. Follow this by holding the thigh with both hands and gently twisting and squeezing your hands as you move from thigh to foot. (For more strokes, see Vimala Schneider's classic book, Infant Massage: A Handbook for Loving Parents [Bantam, 1989] or visit the International Association of Infant Massage, www.iaim.ws/home.html , to find a certified infant massage instructor near you.)
Babes aren't the only ones who benefit from infant massage. Experts like Andrea Kelly, ceo of the International Association of Infant Massage in Ventura, California say that giving a massage releases nurturing hormones for both the mother (oxytocin) and the father (prolactin).
In addition to bonding, infant massage helps kids born with addictions or serious health problems, says Joanne Starr, MD, director of pediatric cardiothoracic surgery at Children's Hospital. She's seen the positive effects of Garofallou's infant massage on the tiny heart patients she's operated on. "I think it's a very important part of their healing," says Starr, who adds that many of these infants can't be held because they are hooked up to ventilators. "It's such a helpless feeling for the parents, but massage empowers them to do something."

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know when my loved one needs help?
Visit your loved one frequently and watch for changes in their daily routine. If it appears they are unsafe, not eating properly or "just not themselves", it may be time to seek assistance from a medical professional.
How do I approach the subject with my family member?
Be honest and show genuine concern. Ask the individual if they have thought about getting needed assistance. Encourage their involvement and participation in the process of selecting a new home offering assistance. Tour different communities and begin to determine the level of care your loved one needs. Sometimes a doctor, neighbor, nurse or clergy can help you discuss your loved ones needs in a sensitive and caring way.
How can I pay for the costs of assisted living?
Most people pay for the cost of assisted living with their own assets. This is often called "private pay". Many long-term care insurance policies will help pay for assisted living and some veterans and their surviving spouses can qualify for the Aid and Attendance benefits available through the Veterans Administration. Following two years of private pay, our certified communities may accept Medicaid Waiver on a limited basis. Unfortunately, Medicare does not cover the costs of assisted living.
As long term care policies vary and all of the state and Federal regulations that relate to available benefits often can be quite confusing, please call us and we will be happy to help you understand your alternatives and to help you navigate through all of the details. It's one of the many ways we help you make the right decision!
What is the difference between assisted living and a nursing home?
An assisted living community offers residents assistance with self care, socialization and proper nutrition. Assisted Living is less restrictive and promotes independence, dignity and choice. They are usually based on a social model rather than a medical model.
A nursing home is an institutional setting that offers skilled medical care and rehabilitation to individuals who may not be able to care for themselves. Medicare and Medicaid are usually accepted. Many individuals are admitted to a nursing home for a short term stay for rehabilitation following a hospitalization for an illness or injury. Once rehabilitation is completed, the resident may transition to a less restrictive environment such as an assisted living home with supplemental home care services. Other residents transition to long-term care and make the nursing home their permanent lifestyle. Nursing homes generally employ medical models of care.
How can I tell if assisted living is appropriate for my family member or friend?
Once a community has been selected by the resident and /or family, an assessment will be conducted by the Director of Health Care to determine the level of care appropriate for the new resident. An individualized care plan will then be developed. If an individual is totally bedridden, unable to assist in transferring from the bed to the chair/toilet, or requires ongoing skilled care such as tube feedings, dressing changes, or are harmful to themselves or others, the individual may be beyond the assisted living level of care and may be a candidate for skilled nursing home care.
Do assisted living communities offer transportation?
Yes, all Heritage communities offer both scheduled and "as needed" transportation to and from appointments and activities. It is important to discuss the transportation policy how to best utilize the convenience it offers.
What happens if my family member still drives but wants to come to an assisted living community?
Residents may have cars. Check with each community to discuss the policy regarding personal vehicles, the availability of garages or outdoor parking and any special requirements or restriction.
Can my family member keep their primary physician?
Yes, choosing their own healthcare provider is a resident's right.
"At Heritage Pointe we really do make a difference everyday." ~ Michelle C.

Palm Springs, CA ― Legendary KFI jazz radio announcer Scott Ellsworth launched scottsplacetm.org, an online weekend broadcast where he plays both the early and contemporary sounds of leading jazz artists and where listeners can soon find an extensive library of his personal interviews with the icons of the jazz world.
"My very first guest interview at KFI was in 1970 with Stan Kenton and that library now contains over fifty of the greats for everyone's listening pleasure," commented Ellsworth whose own voice is highly recognizable to Los Angeles, Denver and Salt Lake City jazz music fans.
Mixing personal stories and playing jazz from 6pm to 10pm every Saturday and Sunday, the live broadcasts source music from Ellsworth's personal CD collection of over 2,000 albums that are housed at his broadcast studio in Palm Springs, California. An irreplaceable collection, many of the recordings are not available by Internet download. Listeners can tune in during the live broadcast or visit the website for on-demand replays of any particular show 24/7.
Over the years Ellsworth was able to interview a list of names considered to be the Who's Who in Jazz including many of the greats such as Duke Ellington, Woody Herman, Dave Grusin, Bob Florence, and many others. The walls of his studio are filled with framed photos of Ellsworth with his legendary jazz guests, which were taken during earlier broadcasts at the top AM & FM jazz stations in leading US markets over the last forty years.
Scott Ellsworth is a national treasure and a winner of listener Broadcasting Awards; 1997 Man of the Year (Palm Springs Women's Press Club); 1998 Music Man of Distinction (Music Guild of the Desert); a member of the American Jazz Institute; an accomplished actor in movies and television, nationally syndicated talk show host and is currently host announcer on Scottsplace.org which can be heard live on Saturdays and Sundays from 6- 10pm Pacific Time.
Saturdays from 6-10pm offers contemporary jazz
Sundays from 6-10pm features live remote broadcasts of the great dance bands from the 30's, 40's & 50's.

|Mitchell expects player interviews to start promptly
|Written by Admin
|Friday, 04 May 2007 16:30
Mitchell sent a letter to the players' association in late March requesting the interviews, which the union confirmed April 3. Lawyers for the union, commissioner's office and Mitchell's staff met later in April to discuss possible interviews, along with Mitchell's request for medical records.
``In the course of our work, we have gathered thousands of pages of documents and conducted hundreds of interviews of individuals with current or past connections to professional baseball, including many former players,'' Mitchell said Friday in an e-mail to The Associated Press.
``I have just recently requested that interviews of current players begin promptly, which is one of the final phases of our investigation. We expect to meet soon with the players whose interviews we have requested, but to the extent that we are not able to, we will deal with the issue at that time.''
Mitchell also may gain evidence that federal prosecutors have gathered in their case against former New York Mets bat boy Kirk Radomski, The Washington Post reported Friday.
Radomski, who pleaded guilty to felony charges of distributing steroids and laundering money, has agreed to cooperate with the ongoing federal steroids investigation, as well as Mitchell's inquiry.
The 37-year-old has admitted providing steroids, human growth hormone, amphetamines and other drugs to ``dozens of current and former Major League Baseball players and associates,'' U.S. Attorney Scott Schools said in a statement.
``Are documents, etcetera, going to be turned over?'' Parrella was quoted as saying by the Post. ``That's part of the concept, but I can't lay out a schedule or roster of documents. We will make an evaluation item by item.''
Mitchell also wouldn't specify what data he hopes to receive.
baseball. Our work in that regard is only one aspect of the broader effort in this investigation.''

Talk about feeling good! I've been on a buckwheat kick for the past week or so. I have only started using buckwheat for the past couple of months, and I am hooked! Buckwheat is full of healthful easily digestible proteins, it draws out retained water from the body, and is non-allergenic. Buckwheat is generally free of chemicals, as it grows so quickly and easily that it doesn't "need" them. How's that for awesome? Seen Oprah lately? One of her cohort physicians, Dr. Perricone, is even calling it a superfood!
There are a couple of specific recipes that I am really loving these days(see below). And guess what? I'm eating some raw chocolate buckwheat treats right now! In fact, the whole family loves them!
Important notes on Buckwheat:
• Make sure (unless the recipe states otherwise) to get raw buckwheat (sometimes sprouted and dehydrated) and not toasted/roasted buckwheat, (also known as Kasha) as it has a completely different flavour and is much stronger. What you want is the light-coloured buckwheat.
• Buckwheat is Gluten-Free!
• Very high in Manganese, Magnesium, Fiber and Flavonoids (extended information on Buckwheat)
The recipes I hae selected are those which include healthy whole-food ingredients, or are at least healthier versions of typical recipes (such as pancakes, muffins, and crackers. They are all vegan, as you may have guessed!
Buckwheat Recipes
4. Vanilla Buckhweat Granola (This recipe does ask for Kasha.)
6. Gluten-Free Vegan Blueberry Buckwheat Muffins
8. Chocolate Peanut Butter Buckwheat Bars (I haven't yet, but I want to try these!)
9. Raw Choco Buckwheat Treats (SO GOOD!)
10. Gluten-Free Almond & Buckwheat Flour Pizza Crust
11. Raw Gingered-Buckwheat Muesli
12. Chocolate Buckwheat Bake (Chis is truly amazing. Cook in oven if you don't want to use a microwave. The oven should work fine.)
16. Buckwheat Donuts
We want you!

New Design from Studioilse: Aesop Store
Last week we wrote about our love for Studioilse, and this week thanks to a post spotted on Dezeen, we get to share a new interior from Ilse Crawford: the Aesop skincare store, which thankfully doesn't look much like a typical beauty shop at all...
We love the color scheme, which is very similar to Crawford's Club Room at the Wellcome Collection. To see more photos of the Aesop Store and get the full scoop, visit Dezeen.

where are those lights from??? beautiful!
The West Elm (the one in Chicago suburbs at least) have very similar lights hung at the store. They are not for sale, but the sales associate told me that they are part of the fall catalog & so should be available for customers then. If I remember correctly, they're priced at $99.
My only concern is that the beauty of the lights are in exposing the bulb... so it won't look that great if you use energy saving bulbs.
Where can I find stylish saw horses like that?
Anyone have any clue about that black hooded floorlamp? The one in front of the wall of boxes that looks like a really cool mailbox? Thanks.
I am in love with this store! The selected materials and furnishings are interesting yet the space still feels simple and open. They did a fantastic job with branding from packaging to lighting. The herringbone wood floors = SWOON.

Hybrid offerings like Topgolf International are combining elements of traditional driving ranges and miniature golf with corporate events, food service and other amenities.Read More
A Portland, Oregon, architect/developer transforms a car dealership into an experimental pedestrian-oriented cluster of micro-restaurants.
Shopping centers, having survived the worst contraction in 50 years, are often turning to restaurants and specialty retailers to replace department stores as anchor tenants.
Retail developers are finding that urban sites are among the best new and ongoing development opportunities given the demographic shifts to cities, said panelists of the ULI Fall Meeting in Chicago, and transit-oriented development is a top prospect for retail and retail-housing mixed use.
Sullivan Center is a complex of nine historic structures in downtown Chicago that have been renovated and repositioned for modern uses.
Ten remade shopping centers exemplify opportunities for transformation.
In nearly every way, the Englewood neighborhood on the South Side of Chicago does not fit the standard definition of a Whole Foods target market. And yet the high-end grocer announced this week plans to open a store there in 2016, having also opened a new store recently in midtown Detroit.
Some retail owners have been able to turn their fortunes around by launching massive remodeling programs, adding new features, tweaking their tenant mix, and altering their marketing strategies. But sometimes the best choice is to simply tear down the building and start over.
Retail, housing, and activity are among the keys to successful infill development. And don't forget about parking.
Fighting back at online retailers, shopping venues focus on the intersection of needs and desires.

... sub-300 gear, then by all means STAY at 1500. Get the gear.
Teams aren't kept at 1500 because of the point sellers. There just isn't enough of them to create a real barrier. If a team is stuck at 1500, then there are other problems. It's not the point sellers.
If Blizzard doesn't consider point selling to be against their TOU, then I leave to their discretion. If and when they do crack down on point selling -- and Tom Chilton has expressed that they're looking at it -- then I leave it to them. Right now it's a prevalent practice, sure, but if a team can't break 1500, don't blame point selling.

analysis leading to the question of what constitutes the length of the
entry-level period. The designation of entry-level will now be defined
as a nurse having no more than 12 months of experience; previously it
was defined as a nurse having no more than six months of experience.

You would think the Chevrolet Camaro SS already exudes the kind of classic retro-modern look that the American muscle car has come to be know for. But even if there are already plenty of styling hints that point to that conclusion, a company like Retro USA still has something in store for all of us.
The US-based tuning firm specializes in splashing some 'retro-ness' to your Camaro - their name, after all, is Retro USA - and recently, they presented their work for the Chevy muscle car.
The aerodynamic modifications are absolutely noticeable, beginning with a new front and rear bumper configuration, courtesy of Chrome-Tech Bumpers. The body panel is mounted to an existing fascia with two pre-taped thermoformed inserts that lift the bumpers off the fascia for a more authentic look. In addition, the program also includes 68′-69′ styled hood vents that provide that nostalgic and aggressive look. Rocker moldings have also been mounted to the existing rocker panel while new quarter moldings - available in either chrome or painted - have been constructed using chrome-plated injection molded ABS with painted flat black accents.
You only need to take one look at at this program to come to the conclusion that it is just what the Chevrolet Camaro SS needs to become a full-fledged American classic muscle car.

Where can I look for more information and advice on jobs and careers?
Take a look at icould's by job type section to get some ideas about roles in different areas. You could also take a look at the life decisions for more general ideas on decisions for the future or if you know what subject you love but can't see how that relates to a job take a look at the icould subject section.
Directgov also have a really useful section of work and careers, including details of apprenticeships and work experience opportunities.
I live in Scotland. Who should I speak to for careers advice?
Careers Scotland are the people to speak to if you live in Scotland. You can get in touch with their Exams Helpline if you're getting worried about exams and results. The service is offers careers advice for people of any age. You can also speak to an adviser.
I've just taken my A-levels and I live in Wales. Where's the best place to get help on next steps?
Careers Wales offers post A-level information. You can arrange a face-to-face meeting with an adviser. Careers Wales is available for people of all ages.
I'm in Northern Ireland. Who can help me with some careers advice and information?
If you live in Northern Ireland you can find your local careers office at the Careers Service NI site. Again, this is available for people of all ages.
I'm interested in going to university but where can I get some more information?
UCAS enables you to research your university choices and courses. They also provide information about funding your studies and being prepared for any challenges that may arise. Best Course 4 Me can give you information from past students who have taken specific courses. Once decided, you then apply for higher education courses through UCAS.
I've got my exam results but they're not what I expected. What should I do?
If you've already got your results and you haven't been successful in securing your first choice university, UCAS also helps with clearing and next steps.
My results are better than I expected. Can I now apply for a different course or university?
Each year some applicants pass their exams with better results than expected. This may mean that some will have not only met the conditions of their firm choice, but will also have exceeded them. Adjustment - sometimes called trading up – has been introduced for these applicants. It provides an opportunity for them to reconsider where and what to study.
I'm a bit scared about going to university and making new friends.
yougofurther.co.uk is a student-only networking site which connects applicants to each other. Its run by UCAS has also contains some useful tips and information. Most universities have their own Facebook page, so you can chat to other students before you go.
What is university life really like?
The National Union of Students (NUS) is a useful starting point for finding out more about going to university. TheSite.orghas lots of articles on all aspects of student living, from dealing with homesickness to campus chat up lines. For information on what's in store for you, try your university's students' union website. They often have information on all the sports clubs, student societies, volunteering, jobs, bars, clubs and entertainments on offer. You can go to your university's homepage and find a link, or you can go to the NUS site for a full listings.
Where should I live when I go to university?
Many universities offer on-campus or university-owned halls of residence to first year students. This will be offered to you once you have been offered a place at the university. However, not every university offers this and, if you have gone through Clearing, you might need to find your own accommodation. Accomodation for students is the UK's leading site for student accommodation, student houses, student flats and larger private accommodation across the UK. You can also find potential housemates through the site. Some universities work with the University Partnerships Programme (UPP) which provides on-campus, managed university accommodation. To get a place in these halls you will need to apply through the university. UNITE is a commercial organisation that runs private halls of residence and other housing for students at many towns and cities across the country. You apply directly for accommodation through their site; if you and friends would like to live together you can select group bookings.
I can't cook. How will I survive when I move away from home?
For some, one of the more daunting aspects of university can be feeding yourself. Student Recipes offers masses of money-saving tips and cheap, easy recipes for any occasion.
Do you have any tips for cheap travel while I'm studying or training?
An NUS card on its own isn't always enough to guarantee you discounted student travel! It might be worth investing in a 16-25 Rail Card or a 16-26 National Express Coach Card. You'll find that the local bus companies offer discounted bus passes for students. First Group, operates in a number of towns and cities and offers a student bus pass.
I'd like to take some time out to travel before working or going to uni. Any tips?
- ISIC card to get travel discounts when travelling abroad
- STA travel – a discount student travel agency providing information and links to help plan all your travel needs including finding flights, details of rail and bus passes available for Europe and beyond, travel insurance, hotel rooms and hostel nights.
- About.com student travel Loads of useful info about student travel from how to get your first passport and the best free things to do in major European cities, to sorting your travel documents and how to pay for your travel.
I'm really worried the cost of going to university. Where do I go to get information on funding?
Directgov provides a good intro for those seeking information on funding for higher education. If you are from England, this is also where you can apply for funding from Student Finance England. If you are from Scotland, Northern Ireland or Wales,information about application is available.
I'm really worried about getting in to debt and not being able to manage my finances if I go to university.
NUS and HSBC conducted research to find out the true cost of living – and found that students underestimated their expenditure by around £20 per week but the reality is something much higher! Find out more about this at the NUSwebsite. The charity Brightside provides free online tools like the Student Calculator to help you manage your money at university. They also offer lots of information about careers, education and student life at Bright Knowledge.
Any advice on getting a part time job whilst studying?
Many universities and colleges have employment offices or job shops, which help students find work during term and vacation time. The National Association for Student Employment Services has a full listing of all of its members. Check outStudent Jobs too for current vacancies.
I don't want to go to university. Where can I get information on getting a job?
Not everyone wants to go to university – in fact, going into work or further training is a choice made by over 50% of school and college-leavers. Notgoingtouni.com is a site built by a school-leaver who got into university but chose not to go and set up his own business instead. The site has expanded and they have several partners, in particular a group of national employers who actively recruit school-leavers. Find out more about the employers.
I don't know how to make a decision about my future.
Given the current economic problems, getting a job might be easier said than done. The need to earn is likely to be the most pressing concern for many, so researching or choosing a career might seem a bit of a luxury. If you do have a bit of time, or even if you've already got a job, the National Careers Service gives you some useful information on the kinds of skills you can gain from all types of job across different employment sectors. So even if you get a job that isn't your first choice of work, you can still use the time to build up skills which would be useful in your preferred career. You can also get in touch with an advisor face-to-face, online or over the phone.
What's a job recruitment site?
National recruitment sites offer opportunities to young people who are just starting out – not just for older or experienced workers. If you use school-leaver as one of your search terms jobs that specifically welcome applications from you should turn up in your results.
- Monster offers advice on how to get a job and vacancies
- Guardian Jobs – helps you find the latest jobs available to apply for in a wide range of sectors including public sector, media, marketing, graduate and government jobs, working full time or part time.
- Reed is another one-stop shop for job search
- Jobcentre Plus – offers additional services other than jobs, including social security payments and training opportunities. Jobcentre Plus is a government-funded employment agency and social security office that can be found in most towns and cities, whose aim it is to help people of working age find employment in the UK. Some Jobcentre Plus offices also have in-house careers advisers, but all should be able to direct you to a careers adviser.
- If you are in Northern Ireland, find a listing of Job Centres (Jobs and Benefits Offices)
- Job search portal run by the NI Job Centre
- An independent guide to using job centres and their services. This is NOT the official site for Jobcentre Plus or the NI Job Centre; it is independent and not linked with the Department for Work and Pensions.
Other useful hints and links
- TheSite.org can help with job hunting generally
- Employment agencies – there are hundreds of them in the phone book, and they can get you temporary or permanent work.
- Networking opportunities – many people get jobs through personal contacts, so let friends and family know that you are looking for work. They might know somebody useful and pull a few strings, or have seen an ad that you missed.
- Speculation – check out firms you'd like to work for e.g. through news stories, the business sections of daily papers, or use internet search engines to find out more. Then call their human resources people and ask about possible vacancies. Even if they aren't currently recruiting, send them your CV to keep on file.
I've just graduated. What do I do next to get a job?
- TheSite.org also offers information for graduates
- The Milk Round: This one's for university students. Once or twice yearly, the big firms go around UK universities giving talks and trying to sign up students for trainee jobs. Go along, and do some background reading about the companies. You can find out all of the details from your university careers service.
- Graduate Prospects
- The Graduate (part of the newspaper publishing group Trinity Mirror).
How do I get some work experience?
Work experience is an incredibly useful way to find out if you want to work in a particular job or sector, to gain workplace skills or to get your foot in the door. You might be paid for a work experience placement or internship – usually employers make this clear when advertising placements. Sometimes they are unpaid, particularly if they are in a popular sector.
Graduate Talent Pool - If you are a graduate, the government has recently created a one-stop shop for graduates seeking an internship or work experience. Currently, there are 500 opportunities advertised on the site, many of which have multiple vacancies. National Council for Work Experience - NCWE supports university students in the main but has some useful links for 15-18 year olds seeking work experience. The Council also organises Work Placement Exhibitions, where you can go along and meet employers who have placements on offer. As well as graduate jobs, you can also search for internships and placements on Prospects.ac.uk. Prospects also has a series of articles on work experience, which are useful for anyone seeking a placement. When you undertake a placement, it's useful to think about what you're learning and how you might apply that knowledge in another job or in another organisation.
Any advice on taking a gap year? I think its the best option for me at the moment.
You can take a gap year for lots of reasons – it can be a break before university, offer you experience of work either at home or abroad, provide time to decide whether or not you want to go to university or simply to save some money and pay some bills. Gap years can also offer you great opportunities to develop valuable skills – either through work experience or paid work, or even just through meeting new people. For comprehensive information on gap years visit gapyear.com andgapforce.org – brings together a series of expert organisations
Can I continue studying whilst working?
Many school-leavers choose the college or work-based route to gaining more qualifications. Some employers will offer 'on-the-job' training - which is usually paid for by the company. This depends on the company and the job you have. When applying for jobs or in interviews, it's useful to research and ask about the training opportunities the company offers.
I'm not sure about apprenticeships. What is an apprenticeship and when should I start one?
Apprenticeships are on offer to everyone, with different entry levels depending on the qualifications you already hold. Apprenticeships offer a work-based route to becoming qualified, allowing you to earn while studying. This site also provides information on the availability of apprenticeships.
What is a vocational qualifications and where can I study to get one?
There is a host of vocational qualifications on offer, but it can be hard to navigate your way around these. Firstly, they are available at a number of levels, including those that are the equivalent of university qualifications. Secondly, some qualifications allow you to build credit, letting you do them as and when you can and raise your qualification level at the same time. You will probably have heard of NVQs (National Vocational Qualifications), BTECs and foundation degrees. In general, NVQs provide you with skills to do a specific job, whilst BTECs and foundation degrees are more broad-based, while still giving you deeper knowledge of a particular working area or sector.
Your local further education college will offer a prospectus, and many of these will be available online. If you need help deciding on a course, you can speak to the college's learning support adviser (all colleges have one).
Find out more about qualifications.

Our nod to the Virginia wine country and Thomas Jefferson's love of pasta.
Southern Living APRIL 2012
1. Prepare pasta according to package directions.
2. Meanwhile, sauté ham in hot oil in a large skillet over medium heat 2 minutes or until lightly browned and crisp. Add shallots; sauté 1 minute. Add mushrooms and garlic, and cook, stirring often, 2 minutes or until mushrooms are tender. Stir in wine, and cook 5 minutes or until reduced by half.
3. Add peas, next 4 ingredients, and 1/2 cup cheese, stirring until cheese begins to melt and cream begins to thicken. Stir in hot cooked pasta, and toss until coated. Serve immediately with remaining 1/2 cup cheese.
We tested with Jefferson Vineyards Viognier.

Hot on the heels of yesterday's Mike Ditka rap video we have yet ANOTHER sports-music video. Some say sports music– even worse than rap-metal. Well, I wouldn't go that far.
So this is the 1987 Calgary Flames of the NHL. You see, back in the 80′s we had a sport called hockey, and these guys were hockey players. The Flames' slogan that season was "You Can't Stop A Flame When It's Red Hot." I will not argue that.
So watch the video here. And be thankful that the White Sox didn't make one of these after they won the World Series.

Asked to submit Know Your Customer forms by December 31
The Union government has warned domestic LPG consumers using multiple connections that they will lose their cylinder supply and will have to buy the cooking gas at commercial rates if they fail to submit their Know Your Customer (KYC) forms by December 31. The supply of cylinders to those with multiple LPG connections "who fail to furnish the KYC forms by the prescribed date [December 31] will be converted suo motu into the non-domestic exempted categories (NDEC) rate connections," Minister of State for Petroleum and Natural Gas Panabaaka Lakshmi told the Lok Sabha on Friday.
In September, the government decided to restrict the subsidised LPG supply to six cylinders of 14.2 kg a household a year. Any additional cylinder is to be bought at the non-subsidised rate. The subsidised LPG costs Rs. 410.50 a cylinder in Delhi and an additional cylinder for domestic use will cost Rs. 895.50. A 14.2-kg cylinder for non-domestic use is charged the commercial rate, at Rs. 1,156.
Further, in her written reply, Ms. Lakshmi said the last date for fulfilling the KYC formalities was extended to December 31 from November 30.
According to oil marketing companies, only those with multiple connections should submit the KYC details. They have identified more than two crore households with multiple connections, taken at the same addresses under different names. The companies are implementing the one-household, one-connection policy and have asked consumers to voluntarily give up additional connections.
In the KYC form, consumers will have to give their name, date of birth, father's name, mother's name, spouse name and address with pincode, with an option to provide bank details. With the filled-in forms, they have to submit self-attested photocopies of address and ID proof. New connections will be issued after completion of the KYC formalities and multiple connection check.
"All LPG consumers are eligible for three subsidised domestic cylinders during the remaining part of the current year ending March 31, 2013. There is no restriction on the number of domestic non-subsidised cylinders consumers can avail themselves of, beyond the three subsidised refills, to meet their genuine demand," a senior official of an oil marketing company said.
From April 1, consumers can avail themselves of six domestic subsidised refills in a financial year, though the government has indicated that it is reviewing the cap and will take a decision in the next few days.

Awhile back I wrote a rave review for the oily skin version of this but recently I realized that my color, caramel, is too dark and orangey for me. Unfortunately, caramel is the only color that works for me in that line. The lighter shade is too light and the darker shade is too dark. So what I did was switch to the dry skin formula! (Even though my skin is combo oily) Caramel in the dry skin formula is noticeably lighter and less yellow than the oily one. I was right, it is PERFECT. It's like a second skin! The dry skin formula may have a little less coverage than the oily one but it doesn't bother me. It's still medium to full. Also, this formula doesn't make me more oily at all, it still lasts about the same time before I need to powder. I will be buying this formula from now on(:

Ugh. I thought I might actually like this foundation after reading reviews, but I definitely do not! I have fairly dry skin and many foundations tend to cling to my skin and make it look way more dry that it actually is and lawwwwwd this was one of them! I exfoliated, moisturized and primed my skin like usual but it made me have dry patches, made my skin feel tight, and definitely didn't look natural at all. Soooo disappointed.

Yuck yuck yuck okay i kind of had a feeling this would happen to me from all the reviews but no i wanted to still give it a shot and that was a fail on my part its sheer -light coverage don't let no one tell you any different it is very drying and cakey even if you exfoliate it is a clingy little thing and the thing that drove me the most crazy getting the stupid foundation out it reminded me of those old fashion restaurants that give you the ketchup in the glass ketchup bottle and you have to shake it out and it comes out a lot like a mess its so thick and i got fresh beige I'm nc30 and it was a tad too light and not yellow toned its peach so that also was a fail oh well on to the next foundation .

Absolutely love this foundation. I only used it because it's the foundation my mum uses and I receive so many compliments when I wear this. Only problem is it does break me out on my forehead with those tiny little under the skin spots/bumps. But all the foundations this ends up happening anyway and when I remove my make up they go away. I have heard a lot about this product breaking other people out but none the less I love the way it makes me look. It is a matte finish and I don't like matte at all but this is the only foundation I will make an exception for. It's also very light weight. Don't like the fact that it's got no pump though but oh well

I have used Colorstay off and on for about 10 years now. It's the kind of foundation I can rely on from a DS brand I trust. The color selection is sometimes lacking and the SPF can make my already pale self look vampiric in flash photos. I can't imagine why Revlon has not heeded the call to put it in a pump already. Coverage is pretty solid and I usually just layer a bit on any blemishes in lieu of concealer. It can be drying on dry skin (even this formula) but mixes with moisturizer well. The name is correct: it stays on F-O-R-E-V-E-R.

I Purchased this product very recently and I have to say I absolutely love it.
It last a really long time it has dry finish not supper matte but it will dry fast ( you only need a little because adding too much will make you look dryer and cakey) So a little goes a long way.
I will say if you have dry skin like me, I recommend that you buy a good nourishing primer or moisturizer with spf so you can keep your face hydrated and not burned lol.
I have slashed water on my face to see how it holds up if i sweat and it really stays on you can just remove it with a basic cleanser or scrub. Just blot if you sweat a lot especially in the summer XP
This foundation gives you a nice dewy finish but the big con I have with it that it does contain glitter ugh! but it's a forgivable sin that i can deal with with this foundation so it a nice glow but i do dislike glitter.
! I Highly Recommend it, just make sure your face is moisturized if you have dry skin !

First of all, the closest color I could find for my skin tone was 250 fresh beige, which is sadly pink toned and i'm an NC30 with yellow undertones. I was surprised how light the coverage was..everyone claimed this was a long wearing full coverage foundation but it was light - medium (buildable to meduim) but I liked light-medium foundations anyway, but because it's pink toned I like to sheer it out & wear it as a tinted moisturizer and it doesn't transfer, looks like skin but doesn't last as long as I thought it would. (5-6 hours w/o fading) But people complimented my skin, apperantly my face was radiant and glowing! When I looked in the mirror my face seemed brighter and I think It was because of the pinkish tones. It looks great and feels like nothing on your skin!

pros: -long lasting -lightest shade works with skin tone -medium-full coverage -covers my moderate rosacea and acne -doesn't make me break out -not extremely pricey -not easily breakable -doesn't cling to dry areas cons: -no pump -container can be misleading on how much product is in bottle -lightest shade is on the pink side overall this foundation it great and dispute my lack of love for the packaging it is still my HG foundation and better then any other foundation from the drugstore . if you are hesitant to try it don't be you won't be disappointed ;) will repurchase when I run out and will continue to .

This is my favorite"foundation" foundation. I've been loving Physicians Formula's BB & CC creams a lot but decided to try a real foundation again. This one is the best I've found so far. I have light/medium olive skin. The type that has an apparent light green hue too. Foundations that are too punk, yellow, or orange make the green stand out. I do not think I am an alien nor an alien hybrid, well the aliens have not informed if such.... Yet.
This formula dries at a medium pace. I use Olay Sensitive SPF 15 under it. It allows enough time to spread then it sets well without being drying my skin out. The color fresh beige goes so well with my skin I can almost claim it to be a perfect match... For an alien in Earth that is.
It does make my fine lines a bit apparent, but the coverage is so wonderful I'll keep it!
It has great staying power, doesn't dry my skin out yet seems to help keep my t zone less oily.
My only three wishes would be that it came in a pump, down didn't emphasis my lines, and was came with a Jeremy Renner. Why? Because he is so sexy of course. He is sexy throughout the galaxy.

text: Empathy, Art & Entertainment At his Google talk ("The Neuroscience of Empathy"), UCSF's Dr. Thomas Lewis answers the question: Are depictions of destruction and pain in art designed to blunt our sense of empathy?: "If art works, it makes you feel something and often, say in a novel in which you identify with the characters, if something bad happens to them it is somewhat painful for you. So I think good art evokes [empathy]. I think entertainment blunts it. So, say if you see a mass market entertainment film…I just saw the Bruce Willis film —not to say it's bad, which it's not, but— Bruce Willis is tossed about like a rag doll throughout the course of the film. Nothing bad happens to him. He doesn't break any bones. He doesn't suffer visibly at any point. That, I think, does blunt our empathy: entertainment. But art shouldn't do that. And actually it is one of the fundamental distinctions between art and entertainment that's worth describing."

As seen on FASTCOMPANY.
If you have a sales manager worth his salt, not only can he manage your sales force when everyone wants one of whatever product or service you are selling, but he can fix whatever happens when sales tank.
Frankly speaking, methinks there are few sales managers who can do this.
If you are experiencing this in your organization look for five things.
1. A reliance on product training, not sales training. Too many companies conduct product training sessions, hoping in some backward form of logic that customers buy features of products and not solutions to their painful issues. I think it is just simpler to do product training than sales training. Don't mix up the two, and realize that increasing the amount of product training will most likely not result in added sales.
2. Not enough listening. This is generic, but it almost always can be detected. This is closed connected with alignment issues, see number 4. Good sales people know how to listen, and how to listen for the issues that are bothering the prospects. Only by good listening can the sales rep advance the ball. Look here second.
3. This is too basic but true. In hundreds and hundreds of sales calls that I have listened to or participated in, in almost 75% of the cases, there was an opportunity to ask for the order. For whatever reason, the sales rep did not do this. Ask for the order. Highlight this one on the chart above.
4. Alignment issues happen most frequently with an experienced sales force and even good reps. Basically, they are so good at knowing what the prospect needs, that they diagnose the problem apparently too fast for the prospect. Read yesterday's post on this key problem. This is often called being out of alignment.
5. No energy in the sales force. This might be a cultural thing inside your company, but it is easy detect by outsiders. Your sales force should have a positive energy, an almost StarTrek Enterprise force field of excitement and energy. If you lack it, you know it, and you must fix it. If your sales manager can't, if it is just not who he is, find someone else who can fill this role. As someone told me once, in a sales conversation someone had better get excited, and it is easy for it to be YOU.
If you want a poster of the above graphic, just email me and I can send one to you. Ed. Note: What GL failed to mention is that there is a charge of $20 for each poster. He regrets the omission.

Sometime soon Mark Richt is going to have his end of the year press conference. I would suggest that the head coach at Georgia have that presser sooner rather than later because, to be perfectly candid about it, he has reached a crossroads in his leadership of the football program in Athens. Georgia finished the 2010 season with a 6-7 record after a-less-than-inspiring performance against UCF in the Liberty Bowl.
No, let's don't choose our words carefully here. Let's call it what it really was: It was a lousy performance. Georgia looked like a team that didn't want to be there and at 6-6, maybe the players DIDN'T want to be there. But since they were there and since the University committed itself to play the game and provide programming for its television partner, it falls upon the head coach to demand that the guys who wear the uniform representing the state university at least play hard. And Georgia did not play hard against UCF.
Mark Richt will be back for his 11th

How to Puree Pumpkin
Instead of using canned, see how easy it is to puree fresh pumpkin for recipes.
Video Transcript
To mash or puree fresh pumpkin, place a whole, uncut pumpkins on a foil-lined baking sheet. Bake at 350 degrees for 90 minutes or until tender, turning the baking sheet occasionally. Remove the pumpkins from the oven, and let cool.
To clean pumpkins, cut them in half vertically and remove the seeds and stringy pulp with a large spoon. Scoop out the flesh with a spoon, and place it in a bowl, being careful not to get any of the softened skin in with the flesh. Discard the skins. Mash the pumpkin with a potato masher, or, use a food processor if you want an even smoother texture.
You can store fresh cooked pumpkin purée in a sealed container in the refrigerator for about 5 days, or in the freezer for up to six months.
