So this all gets us to actually going to a shop to make a purchase. Before you are too quick on the draw with your Visa card, do some homework to get some specific brands and models in mind and reasonable prices for them. An easy way to accomplish his is to grab a buyers guide from a publication like SKI, Skiing or Powder, and look at the product categories and reviews. Many are hitting the stores now and at the very least will give you an idea of what to look for and how the ski might act on the snow. (more…)

Monday, July 11th, 2011The Rise in Standards in Homeopathic Schools
To take the case I know best, Australia, there has been a rise, in the requirements of the Australian Homeopathic Association, (the only national association) for accrediting courses.

Am I Destined for Divorce
Wednesday, March 2nd, 2011My parents split up when I was 12 — which was good for my mom, since she was so miserable with my dad. But now that I’ve just gotten married, I’m dogged by thoughts that my relationship won’t last. Every time my husband and I fight, I think about the statistics I’ve read that children of divorce are more likely to get divorced themselves. Are they?

Friday, March 5th, 2010We’ve all felt our “fight or flight” response go into action-our heart pumps, breathing, metabolism and blood sugar reacting to assignments, deadlines, a new part-time job, labs and exams. Eat your way to better stress management.
