Very kindly and courteously the Loganeport high school ball players escorted tho Peru infants out to the Driving park yesterday afternoon, and maintaining all the time a serene and sunny smile proceeded gracefully to make them look foolish before a crowd of about SOO people, a large part of whom were pretty, excited girls, decked with tbe black and red of the Loganeport high school club, and making the air musical with their enthusiastic cheers for the home team. Whether they knew what was going on or not the applause was given at all stages of the game, and to the young ladles In no small degree, belongs the credit for the victory won by the students over the algebra sllngers from the Miami county metropolis.

Do you ever stop to think, when you are having a'n especially good time on your wheel, how little margin there is between supreme content and supreme disgust? A puncture that you can't repair, a crank key that refuses to r stay firmly in place, a chain that is faulty in con struction and thus runs hard, or a hundred and one things that the maker ought to have built right and adjusted right, but didn't, will make cloudy and disagreeable the most sunshiny day, and will cause even the laughter and pleasant words of friends to jar upon you. It is in smoothing out these rough places in your cycling path that the board of experts which plans the famous Columbia Bicycle serves you best. The single-tube tires are even nearer to perfection than in 1894, when they won the whole cycling world to the use of this form of tire by their remarkable success. The driving gear runs so smoothly and noiselessly that it ia evident friction ia almost entirely overcome. The chain especially is almost turning the heads of cycling wiseacres with its beauty and finish and accuracy of construction. The crank-shaft is narrow, strong and simple. The adjustable handle bars are ideal in their promise of comfort. . The place to buy these wheels is at Filling's Shoe House. AT 4i8 Market St. A New Firm.

Amongst the constant rumors and recommendations that military pay be frozen, or retirements be changed, or Tricare costs go up, there are always the comments about the military commissaries and exchanges. A recent report discussed cutting commissaries as one way of cutting costs for the Department of Defense. Amy Bushatz at SpouseBUZZ did an excellent article on the current situation. I love her summary, "In the end we all ignored the whole thing and moved on with our lives." I'm pretty sure that is exactly what will happen this time, but who knows...
I'm curious. How do you all feel about military commissaries? Is it a benefit you treasure, or do you find it just as easy and inexpensive to shop your local stores. What would you do if commissaries were to close?
During my 20 years of military spousedom, I've had periods of time when I've been an avid commissary shopper, and other times where I was just as likely to go to a civilian grocery store. Most of it depends on the particular area, the distance from my house to the commissary, and the coupon policies of the civilian stores. However, as a fall-back, I always end up at the commissary because it is significantly less expensive overall. Yes, I can find certain items much cheaper off-base, and sometimes I like the selection off-base better, but I don't always have hours to make trips to multiple stores. When I am trying to conserve both time and money, it is the commissary for me.
Share your thoughts - I'd love to know!

I have had a Pinterest for quite some time so my boards are all pretty detailed. I have boards on Pinterest from the books I want to read, or have read, to the cars I would love to drive someday. It was interesting because after analyzing the readings from Wilson & Yochim and Matcher, the reasons for why I find Pinterest so entertaining and unique were blatantly made known to me. As a college student, money is tight so I am really fond of the DIY section on Pinterest. Not only do I find that the items under that category are cheap, but they are also chic and nifty. However, Emily Matchar's article, Homeward Bound, explains the reasons as to why I am drawn to this type of social media website for this particular section. With this being said, I go to Pinterest as a place where I can take a break from my hectic days and look at new posts and items that are visually stimulating. Matchar argues that because of the anxiety-driven culture that we are currently living in, it is very expected of us to resort to domesticity in search of a relaxing and easy way to do things in life. Matchar provided reasons as to why we are being driven to this lifestyle of domesticity and these reasons are all very valid and intellectually stimulating. While going through Pinterest it finally made sense to me as to why there are categories like 'quotes' and 'destinations;' These categories serve as escapes from our everyday hectic lives.
Pinterest to me though, made me realize after taking an oppositional point of view when reviewing my boards that my dream world is planned out on it. My dream world on Pinterest, as it turns out, is not realistic and it is very superficial and materialistic; all things that I would not want to consume my actual life. I thought that Wilson and Yochim touched on this subject really well. One line in the article that really stuck out to me was, "Pinterest is littered with happy objects" (Wilson and Yochim, 2013). This statement, in my opinion, is what defines Pinterest in the first place. These happy objects allow us to possess a promise of happiness at some point in our lives, which is also what Wilson and Yochim explain in their article. I go on Pinterest to look for 'happy' objects and to pin items that will make me happy if I have the opportunity to access them one day. It is also amazing, after I was reviewing my boards, how much consumerism also plays a huge role in Pinterest and the idea that you can 'buy your happiness' to make everything better. I, myself, have fallen as prey to this tactic. If I am on Pinterest after having a long day and I see a cute necklace that is in my price range, I will click on it and buy it in the hopes that it will make me feel better and happier. It is also amazing how Pinterest is not diversified at all either. Wilson and Yochim also argued that the whole website for the most part is from a social network of pinners who are white, upper to middle class women. When going through my boards and the newsfeed sections under each category, diversity is very rare. I realize that Pinterest is a nice site to get ideas off of, but after looking at it through a different lens, it is amazing how domesticity is making a comeback and people are defining their true 'happiness.'

Singer June Pointer Dies
She and her three sisters -- Ruth, Anita and Bonnie -- learned to sing at the church in West Oakland, Calif., where their parents were ministers. They began as a quartet in the 70s and become a trio when Bonnie left to pursue a solo career.
Their 1973 debut, The Pointer Sisters, featured their first hit, "Yes We Can Can," a cover of an Allen Toussaint song. Two years later they topped the R&B charts with "How Long (Betcha' Got A Chick on the Side)."
Their second album, 1974's That's A Plenty, included the country tune "Fairytale," which led to a Grammy for Best Country Vocal Performance by a Group, the first of three in their career. Thanks to "Fairytale," the Pointer Sisters became the first black female group to sing at Nashville's Grand Ole Opry. The song was later covered by Elvis Presley.
1984's Break Out, the group's most successful album, included the Grammy Award winners "Jump (For My Love)" and "Automatic," as well as the hit "Neutron Dance," featured in the film Beverly Hills Cop.
June also released two solo albums -- Baby Sister in 1983 and a self-titled album in 1989. Both had singles on the R&B charts, but neither won her the success she achieved as a member of the Pointer Sisters.
Anita and Ruth still perform as the Pointer Sisters, which now includes Ruth's daughter Issa Pointer.
In addition to her three sisters, June Pointer is survived by two brothers, Aaron and Fritz, 15 nieces and 10 nephews.

Michael heard these words 15 years ago at a teen mission event: "Lord run Your Kingdom through my heart, crucify self, set me apart…" It pierced him, and he became determined to make a difference in his German High School. He started a small bible study amongst his fellow students, and together they began to witness to their friends. It totally changed the focus and purpose of his life.
Michael has stayed in the school environment in order to be a witness for Christ, but now as a trained teacher. His focus is still to bring glory to God and serve His Kingdom in all that he does, no matter the challenge or obstacle.
When he heard there was a conference for the persecuted church in Schwabish Gmund, he had to go. But in his own words, he was in for one of the "shocks of his life" when he saw Bill Drake at the grand piano on the stage.
Michael approached me after the first session with tears in his eyes.
"I've always wanted to meet you, Bill, and want to thank you for having such an impact on my life through your deep lyrics." Michael's emotion came through clearly, and God reminded me once again that He is capable of using anything given to Him for His glory, including a song called "Move Through Me" that I wrote on an old battered, backstage piano just outside a large squatter camp near Port Elizabeth, South Africa:
Lord run Your Kingdom through my heart
Crucify self, set me apart
So that the nations hear Your truth
Send this ambassador for You
Move Through Me

Dental Sleep MBA - Continuing Education for Dentists
The seek of knowledge in the dental practice does not end in passing the board exam. To build a productive and successful dental practice, dentists should undergo continuing education.

The International Academy of Sleep
In 2010, he left his general dentistry practice and opened his own company dedicated to sleep medicine. It took him years and millions of dollars to create a system that generates an endless stream of patients per month. Together with his friend, he created the International Academy of Sleep, a platform that teaches the system to other dentists and allied health professionals. The International Academy of Sleep improves the health care distribution in the world of sleep medicine.
Aside from the International Academy of Sleep and Dental Sleep Masters, Avi Weisfogel runs a podcast to reach a broad audience. In his podcast, he shares valuable inputs about dentistry, dental sleep medicine, and the business aspects of running a dental practice.

India: Inflation jumps on energy prices
September 14, 2012
In August, the wholesale price index (WPI) - India's preferred measure of inflation - added 1.09% over last month, which was well above the 0.06% rise observed in July. Although the monthly rise was broad-based, it mainly reflected a sharp increase in prices for fuel and power (+3.13% month-on-month). As a result of the strong monthly rise, annual headline WPI inflation jumped from 6.9% in July to 7.6% in August, exceeding market expectations of a 7.1% rate. Annual average wholesale price inflation, on the other hand, moderated from 8.2% in July to 8.0%. Meanwhile, the consumer price index added 1.51% over the previous month in July - the latest month for which data are available - which was up from the 1.18% rise recorded in June. Nevertheless, annual consumer inflation remained stable at June's 9.9%.

I would only utilize services like Hulu on an as needed basis.

A 2 hour old podcast is old whenever there is breaking news of allegations just released or if the Lockout were end...to quote TK "Live TV - ain't nothing like it."

I certainly do not mean to diminish everything you said, your newspaper take was on the money. I just feel like using something like a podcast or hulu service as a supplement is a reality and that's ok. There isn't necessarily a need to deem something outdated and not of use. Just look at Microsoft Word and a real life notepad and pen.

New media (which is a lame term) is a supplement, not a replacement. Tech nerds need to realize they are part of a faction, not the mass. Prime example: Tell me how well Webisodes are doing? No one wants to watch television on a computer screen. I surely do not. I want to watch television on my 42" HDTV.

When I'm in the car, I listen to satellite radio, not downloaded content that is already old.

wild child
This is what I wore to gradn jury duty today.. I don't know what I was thinking really.. not sure what you wear to those types of things. I just know I wanted to look like I didn't belong there. Like I was some kind of degenerate hippie who could give a hoot about jury duty. But as you can see from all my activity on my blog today, I was out of there before 11 am, I wasn't chosen in the lottery and so I got to go home! So what I thought was going to be a month of being broke and having no time on the weekdays to do anything has just totally turned around and I could not be happier! Don't have to worry about being chosen for it for another 6 years too!
This dress I thrifted the other day, my second really lucky day at the salvation army in a week! Found one vintage dress right after another, all cute 60s mini dresses. And they are all going into the shop as soon as I get some photos of them, including this one! This one is the shortest of the bunch, but I really love the colors. This faux fur coat I thrifted a few years ago, it's mt favorite!

Ugh, I hate jury duty. Thankfully I've never had to do it, but I was greeted with a $2000 fine once for accidentally missing one, haha! Got out of that one, though, yay.
Great outfit!

Notre Dame Comes Up Short In Class D Final
Notre Dame proved to be the sternest test of the year for the Dundee Scotsmen, and who knows what might have been if not for a controversial non-call which resulted in the game's first score. In the end, the Fighting Irish gave undefeated Dundee all they could handle before coming up short in overtime.
Hard hitting was the order of the day. For most of the first half, Dundee and Notre Dame jockeyed for field position by trading punts. With 5:56 to go in the second quarter, Dundee quarterback Justin Schenk fired a long pass downfield. Dustyn Thompson, the intended receiver, shoved the Notre Dame defensive back with both hands, knocking him off balance. With the defender out of the picture, Thompson caught the ball uncontested and raced to the end zone. No flag was thrown, the point after was good and the half ended 7 - 0.
In the third quarter Notre Dame's Justin Shenk (not to be confused with Dundee's Justin Schenk) blocked a punt and Cam McDonald recovered. The opportunity was squandered by a combination of timely defense and penalties.
At the 4:19 mark of the quarter Mike Raplee caught a quick strike from Justin Schenk and turned it into a 51 yard touchdown. After the PAT the Scotsmen led 14 - 0 and at this point Notre Dame began playing inspired defense. At 11:56 Kevin Schildwaster scored on a five yard run. Point after made it 14 – 7. The Scotsmen were stopped yet again by the Fighting Irish and Bochicchio drove his team toward the goal line. This time it was Mike Pratt carrying the ball into the end zone at the 4:10 mark.
With time running out Dundee moved the ball to the Notre Dame ten but time ran out. Steven Webb scored on the third play of overtime and the Scotsmen went for two. The conversion was good and Dundee was up 22 – 14.
On their final possession, the Fighting Irish made it close, but an illegal procedure penalty nullified a completion inside the five and the resulting first down.
Offensively for Notre Dame Mark Schildwaster carried seventeen times for 60 yards. Mike Pratt carried thirteen times, also for 60 yards. Nick Bochicchio was 7 of 12 passing for 46 yards.
For Dundee Steven Webb carried 14 times for 94 yards and quarterback Dustin Thompson was 7 of 14 passing for 140 yards, 2 Td's and an interception.
Defensively for Notre Dame, Kevin Francis had 7.5 tackles, 1.5 for a loss and 3 assists. Craig Houseknecht amassed 6.5 tackles and 7 assists. Cam McDonald added 6 tackles and 6 assists.

Clare 0-8 Limerick 0-8 The first of three big Shannonside GAA derby games this weekend ended in the spoils being shared prompting many to ask if this result will be repeated at Cusack Park tomorrow when the senior and minor hurlers from both counties clash in crucial championship games. O'Garney park in Sixmilebridge hosted the clash of Clare and Limerick in this All-Ireland senior camogie championship tie this afternoon and at the end of sixty minutes play the honours were shared and both remain in the hunt for a place in the play off stage of the championship. Both sides will point to the fact that they failed to capitalise on wind advantage in a game in which a number of decisions of referee Andrew Larkin were a major talking point. Clare had the aid of the breeze in the opening half and while Niamh Mulcahy gave Tipperary the lead in the opening minute, Clare led 0-3 to 0-1 after …Read More »
A share of the spoils for Oscar Traynor side
By Seamus Hayes Clare and Galway shared the spoils in the opening round of the Oscar Traynor inter legue junior competition at Doora on Saturday evening. Played in difficult weather conditions, Clare went ahead twice but failed to hold the advantage. Galway's second equaliser came three minutes fromthe end, a minute after they were reduced to ten players when Darragh Corry picked up a second yellow card. The visitors's equaliser came from the penalty spot after Darren Murphy was penalised. Overall, Clare should be pleased with a share of the points as the visitors created the greater number of cha nces, particularly in the opening half. A goal line clearance from Paddy O'Malley and the crossbar denied Galway in this period before Clare took the lead after thirty two minutes. Stephen Kelly cross to his Newmarket Celtic clubmate Eoin Hayes whose effort on goal was handled by a Galway defender. Dave McCarthy, another member of the Newmarket club, converted to …Read More »

Hi there Stampers
I am sorry I have been offline for some time as I have moved house and things have been a bit all over the place.
I have moved from the northern suburbs of Brisbane to a smaller place on the Sunshine Coast. You could call it a "sea change" or my retirement to the beach :):)
I have finally got my internet connection back and am no longer feeling out of touch with the world :):)
It is nearly time for the new Catalogue launch too so you still have time to check out the Retirement List here and pop in your last minute orders on my website - just click on the picture below.
If you are in Australia and you would like a copy of the new Catalogue just email me here
I have now set up my new craft room and have been dabbling a bit with the new in-colors for 2014-2016. I have made a birthday card for my sister-in-law using Lost Lagoon, Hello Honey and Bermuda Bay. A simple but pretty card also using the Flower Shop Stamp Set # 130939 w and 130942 c and the Petite Petals Stamp Set # 128706 w and 122497 c, both which are carrying over to the new 2014/2015 Catalogue. Yay! I am super happy about that :) The greeting is from a retired stamp set "Wacky Wishes" though.
Happy Stamping

A dog park is a wonderful, happy place where dogs and their owners can truly unwind and be free! Many pet parents are willing to travel great distances to visit their favorite park and some even consider proximity to a dog park when relocating. Designing a beautiful dog park doesn't have to be an overwhelming or extravagant experience, but it can be an awesome way to express creativity and create something very beneficial for your community. There are 10 main features that should be considered in the planning stage in order to create a truly beautiful dog park.
1 - Location, Location, Location
Just as in real estate, the location of the dog park cannot be stressed enough. Too small an area, an area that doesn't drain well or an area that is too rocky and will hurt the dogs' paws are not recommended. Rather, an area that is large enough for large dogs to run freely with trees to provide shade (although shade canopies are always a good option), and grass or turf are better options.
2 – Fence, Gates, And Locking Mechanism
A fenced area allows dogs and owners alike to really relax and unwind. It gives dogs the rare opportunity to run off leash and explore to their heart's content. It also keeps dogs and people not at the dog park safe. When considering the fenced area, thought should be given to whether it will be an all-inclusive area or whether there will be separate small and large dog areas. Thought should be given to what type of fencing will be used as well as what type of entry and exit gates would be best.
If your dog park is part of an apartment complex, this may not be such an issue but if it's part of a subdivision, thought should be given to the gate locking mechanism. Do you want everyone to have access including those who do not live in your neighborhood? Do you wish to install a lock so that only those authorized to use the dog park can enter? Would a keypad with a code, a fob, or a traditional lock and key be a better option?
3 – Water Fountain
Water access is especially important in the intense Texas heat. Not only do people overheat but as dogs are running free expending their pent-up energy, they need to be able to properly hydrate. A water fountain with a hose attachment so dogs can be hosed down and really cooled off, or rinsed off if they get muddy, is a particularly nice feature.
4 – Pet Waste Stations & Trash Receptacles
The size of the dog park will determine how many DOGIPOT Pet Waste Stations should be placed throughout the dog park. However, pet waste stations are imperative for the proper disposal of dog waste which will help keep the dog park clean and tidy so dogs and owners can enjoy the space freely, never worried about tracking unwanted residue home with them. Picking up dog waste is also an environmental issue as dog waste that is not picked up will seep down and contaminate our groundwater. Keeping these Pet Waste Stations fully stocked is also important, just as the regular emptying of the pet station's trash container.
5 – Gym/Agility Equipment, And Toys
No dog park is complete without some dog exercise equipment. The size of the park will greatly determine how many pieces of equipment will fit and work in the space but in almost all case at least two pieces of agility equipment will fit and provide the much needed physical and mental stimulation dogs look for and need.
Most dogs love balls whether they be tennis balls or soccer balls. Providing just a couple of these with a ball thrower which is inexpensive can provide yet another stimulus that dogs thoroughly enjoy, and dog owners enjoy participating in. A box to store these in when not in use is a nice feature and will ensure they do not get destroyed when the area is mowed.
4 – Water Feature
Although not possible in every dog park, a pool is a very nice feature in a dog park and allows for dogs to splash and play, and cool down. Even providing a kiddie pool or two, can be a great way to provide additional fun for dogs who like to play in water.
7 – Seating Area
The dog park is an opportunity for dogs to not only play and run but to socialize with other dogs. So it is for dog owners as they can enjoy this time to relax and socialize. A seating area is a basic need in any dog park and will make for a more enjoyable experience for the dog owners.
8 – Shade
A seating area is important and so is shade for that seating area. You may have trees that provide the perfect cover over the bench but if not, you may wish to consider a shade canopy.
9 – Dog Park Rules Sign
Most people believe they know dog park rules but it always bears reminding everyone what is expected and what will not be tolerated when using the dog park. Maybe you have rules that are very specific to your dog park? These should be made clear so there is no misunderstanding.
10 – Solar Lighting
Although most dog parks can only be used during the day, there are instances where it is appropriate for the park to be made available during evening hours. In this case, solar lighting should be considered.
Designing a beautiful dog park that will be enjoyed by both dogs and their owners is about being creative and giving some thought to the needed elements keeping in mind play and safety. And a final thought, although not a necessity, the traditional red fire hydrant that typifies a fun dog park is always a great addition to any dog park!

In Illinois, the Democratic-led legislature is fighting a plan by Gov. Patrick J. Quinn, also a Democrat, to balance the new budget by raising income taxes.
In Massachusetts, Gov. Deval Patrick, a Democrat, has threatened to veto a 25 percent increase in the state sales tax that Democratic legislative leaders say is crucial to help close a $1.5 billion deficit in the new fiscal year.
Gov. Edward G. Rendell of Pennsylvania has proposed raising the state's income tax by more than 16 percent, to 3.57 percent from 3.07 percent, for three years — and tax increases on myriad consumer goods.
Democratic legislative leaders last week offered alternatives to Mr. Schwarzenegger's recommended cuts, including levying a 9.9 percent tax on oil extracted in the state and increasing the cigarette tax to $2.37 a pack, from 87 cents. But Mr. Schwarzenegger has vowed to veto any budget that includes new taxes
Governors have recommended increasing taxes and fees by some $24 billion for the coming fiscal year, the survey found. This is on top of more than $726 million they sought in new revenues this year.
During the campaign, Obama said taxes would not be raised on the poor and middle income Americans. Well tell me now that all Americans will not be paying these taxes and higher prices! As we can now see that instead of the economy getting better under the leadership of Obama, the economy is worst today than it was when he took office and his spending spree is bankruping America!

Even though this is my third Summer in New York, I never got to experience life in The Hamptons until this weekend! My friends and I rented the cutest little cottage on airbnb in a town called Hampton Bays. As much as I love living in Manhattan, I can't deny how happy it made me to escape the crowds and humidity for a little space and downtime. We managed to fit in a quite a bit into such a small amount of time between sunbathing on the beach and visiting some of the cutest towns in The Hamptons, East Hampton and South Hampton. The towns had so much character and pretty little shop fronts, myself and my other blogger girls Erika, Louise and Lorna were getting very snap happy!
This weekend really made me realise how lucky I am to have such a great group of friends over here. When you leave home and move to a new country, your friends really do become your family. I'll be so devastated when two of my girlfriends Dee and Jen go home in September! On the plus side I'm trying to plan a few more trips in the coming months, I know people say you should try to live for the now, but theres something about having a nice trip away to look forward to that makes the daily grind a little easier!
I'll have another Hamptons post in a few days to share with you guys including all of my suggestions for great things to see and do!

Protected against bad beats in all situations
BetConstruct's latest poker software update debuts Bad Beat Guard tables, following the prior introduction of No Bad Beat tables.
No Bad Beat tables make it possible to refund a player's contribution to the pot if they experience a Poker Bad Beat but its latest update provides players the option to protect themselves in all-situations from bad beats with Bad Beat Guard tables.
Bad Beat Guard is set at 70.0 percent and is activated when one of the players has a win rate higher than 70 percent, BetConstruct said. "If the player with a higher win rate (e.g. 91.62%) loses to his opponent with a lower win rate (e.g. 8.38%), the first player qualifies for BBG action and the losing player irrespective of stronger cards is refunded for that hand."

Donald Trump pulls out of Iran nuclear deal: From 'double thumbs up' to 'disastrous', how West Asian media reacted
There have been a series of mixed reactions from the media in West Asia on Donald Trump's decision to pulls out of the Iran nuclear deal.
US president Donald Trump has led his country out of the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) with Iran, after having called the deal "a disaster" and "the worst deal ever". In the immediate aftermath of the decision, several world leaders, including European allies like France, Germany and UK, criticised Washington for unilaterally pulling out of the accord that Trump's predecessor Barack Obama had ironed out.
In fact, French president Emmanuel Macron is set to meet Iranian counterpart Hassan Rouhani, with Paris saying the "deserves better than further destabilisation provoked by American withdrawal. So we want to adhere to it and see to it that Iran does too, that Iran behaves with restraint".
There have been a series of mixed reactions from the media in the West Asia, with editorials taking differing sides. Here's a selection of how the media reported Trump's decision in its editorials.
Riyadh-based Arab News was in favour of the pull-out, writing an editorial opinion piece titled 'Two thumbs up, Mr Trump'. "What matters to this part of the world is that we feared a president who would seek to divide us, but got one who last night talked about unity and how standing together will ensure we do not fail. We feared a president we were led to believe hates our values and culture, but we got one who sipped our coffee, joined us in sword dancing and told us last night that the US is not here to impose its way of life, but to offer us a helping hand if we choose to take it," it wrote.
The piece also criticised Trump's predecessor Obama over the latter's inaction when it came to acting against Syrian president Bashar al-Assad. "We thought that when Trump said 'America First', he meant we would be neglected and left to our misery. But it is his predecessor Obama who did that when he opted to lecture and profess instead of adhering to his own red line when Syrian President Bashar Assad used chemical weapons against his own people."
Gulf News, headquartered in Dubai, also had similarly harsh words for the Iran nuclear deal. In its editorial titled 'Trump is right to dump Iran deal', the publication said, "This Iran deal is indeed deeply flawed, and has done nothing to curb the hegemonic intentions of the regime across the Arabian Gulf. And Trump is right when he says that it has not brought peace. For those who doubt his veracity, look no further than Yemen, where our Arab brothers suffer as a direct result of the actions of Iran's Revolutionary Guard in aiding, abetting and training Al Houthi rebels, and supplying them with sophisticated weapons."
The editorial went on to add further that it's time to take strict action against Tehran. "What's needed now is stern action against a regime that is following a path of violence and vexation, one that is unsettling this region and one that is malicious in its intent and seditious in its actions," it added.
However, Qatar-based Al-Jazeera took a different approach and saw Trump's pull-out of the nuclear deal through the prism of Israel. It wrote an editorial using ISRAEL as an acronym for Iran-Saudi-Reversal of everything Obama-Arms-Engagement-Lynchpin. "Trump's America will not walk away from the Middle East (West Asia). If you thought the Obama doctrine envisioned US disengagement from the Middle East (West Asia), think again. The US will not leave a volatile region for Russia and Iran to dominate. Like his predecessors, Trump will fret and frown about his predecessors' mistakes and failures and the intractable problems of the region, yet still walk in their evangelical path of righteousness to save the region from its demons. And like his predecessors, he won't consider, let alone admit, how US strategies and policies have only made the region more chaotic, dangerous and violent," the editorial, penned by senior political analyst Marwan Bishara, said.
However, he had dire words of warning for Trump. "Relying on Saudi Arabia and Israel will prove to be shortsighted, especially as the Trump administration has already alienated European allies by threatening all those dealing with Iran with sanctions. A confrontation with Iran will not end with more US sanctions, certainly not without secondary sanctions against European, Chinese and Russian companies dealing with Iran. That will pave the way to a full-blown international crisis; one that could leave the US, not Iran, isolated," he added.
Israel's own Haaretz had harsh words for Trump, calling his decision a "disastrous pullout", and though Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu had welcomed it, the newspaper said the decision will threaten Israel and endanger the world. "The fact that Netanyahu is working demonstrably and publicly against the agreement could paint Israel as pushing the world to war. The departure of the United States from the agreement, among other reasons because of the 'proof' provided by Netanyahu, could lead to a rift within Israel's natural coalition. The prime minister might think that Israelis should be grateful to Trump, but at this point, the US pullout endangers the world and threatens Israel," he said.
It had further criticism in store for Netanyahu and his government. "Instead of calming the high level of tension between Israel and Iran, which manifested itself in increased preparedness for an Iranian attack and the opening of shelters in the north of the country, the prime minister and Defense Minister Avigdor Lieberman prefer to heat up the region and flex their muscles. This is behaviour that could cost dearly," it added.
The argument found a close parallel in an editorial written in Pakistan's The News International. The headline, 'A disastrous departure', was almost identical to the Haaretz piece, while it again made the argument that the deal may threaten peace in the region. "By pulling the US out of the deal, President Donald Trump has endangered peace in the region. The most immediate impact will be a return of US sanctions in Iran. The severity of these sanctions borders on the criminal and will only hurt the people of Iran rather than its government," it said.
It further went on to add that the move will empower hardliners within Iran. "There are already calls from within the country for Iran to begin enriching uranium at previous levels, even though Rouhani's government has urged caution. Should the response to Trump's provocation lead to Iran restarting its nuclear programme, it could lead to a chain of events in the Middle East (West Asia)," it added, while further adding that the ultimate fallout may be war.
"The possibility of the US itself taking military action cannot be ruled out. With one rash announcement, Trump has imperilled the peace and shown the rest of the world that his country cannot be counted on to abide by international agreements. The world today is a significantly more dangerous place than it was yesterday," it said.

Gasoline Prices to Rise on Schedule
Alexandre Dumas (1824–95), dramatist
It's almost as if on cue. The headline in yesterday's Los Angeles Times at the top of page four in the Business section encourages drivers to "Enjoy cheaper Gasoline, for Now." Soon prices will be reacting to concerns about Iran's nuclear enrichment program and continued delays in starting production at oil giant BP's Thunder Horse platform in the Gulf of Mexico. Now the facility won't be open until mid-2008.
This is why I have a hard time believing oil prices are not manipulated through a labyrinth of arcane deals that only Inspector Clouseau could uncover through serendipity.
According to the article, Monday was the first time since March that American motorists spent less than $1 billion a day on gasoline.
As I have predicted, no matter the excuse, gas will be $3.25 a gallon by Thanksgiving.

One more reason I don't own a car.. Been lucky and have got away with that for 6 years now, and aboout 11 years in England, I've never owned one! I'm not about to start now, either.
My office manager said to me one day that she spends about $3-400 a month on hers, with payments, insurance, gas, repairs. She said there's no way I'd spend that on busses and taxis in a month, and she's right! My $56 buss pass gets me everywhere I need to go for a month. But having said that, Robert has a car, so it's not like I don't get the benefits of that occasionally.
I'm doing what I can to refuse to feed the machine.

I've seen these various reports coming out here and there, all saying the same thing. This will be a temporary lull, so conveniently timed, so be prepared to suck it up again. The whole thing is a charade. Who knows what is really going on.
The drive-in utopia (if i may borrow a phrase) is lurching along with expensive gas, which miraculously is now dropping in price like some sort of rope-d-dope trick. Do we really think oil is going to get and stay cheap? It's all a sham. One day OPEC says they're straining to keep up with demand, that there is no swing capacity. The next they tell us everything is great, they've got too much oil on hand and need to cut back. They can't keep up and have to cut back, all within three months. The happy idiots of the "free market" rationalize it all in the most hysterical ways. I actually saw one guy say that the market is responding to a stabilizing situation in the Middle East. Right. Back in the spring everyone was predicting $100/bbl oil. So what happened? Nothing has changed in the Middle East. What was that wonk talking about? Nothing. He was just pulling shit out of his ass, hoping no one noticed that it didn't smell like daisies.
I couldn't help but notice Taylor never responded. I'm sure he thinks we're all completely deluded because we suspect the oil companies of bad behaviour. I guess you must be crazy to think that.

Chandira, I am tired of driving. My car is 1.5 years old and I have 40k on it already and I only travel to work and back, for the most part.
thebhc, I think Dr. Taylor feels he made his point. I don't have nearly the faith he has in the system. The system is rigged with friends and lobbyists, which is another post altogether regarding friendship, which today is someone you network with not count on.

Do I Have to Accept Applicants in the Order they Applied?
Written on April 2, 2014 by Ron Leshnower, updated on November 1, 2017
The Answer:
No, but you might want to.
If your rentals are in demand and your marketing efforts are attracting many interested applicants, congratulations.
It should also cause you to proceed with care, because accepting applicants out of order, though not illegal, could give the impression of discrimination and may cause legal problems for you.
Your Right to Rent to Qualified Tenants
As a landlord, you have the freedom to choose the "most qualified applicant", but be careful of appearances.
You are allowed to make decisions based on legitimate business reasons. You have the right to seek information about applicants to give you confidence that they'll be good tenants and pay their rent in full and on time.
Many landlords, in fact, engage in some degree of tenant screening, which often includes, for example, inquiries into applicants' credit and criminal history, a review of pay stubs and tax returns, and contacting prior landlords as references.
With any luck, you'll find applicants who are interested in your rentals and meet your screening requirements.
Accepting Applicants Out of Order Can Lead to Problems
You might think that as far as a landlord's goal of finding a qualified applicant is concerned, choosing one QUALIFIED applicant over another shouldn't make a difference. While it's not illegal to choose one qualified applicant over the other, regardless of the order the applications were submitted, it can lead to the appearance of discrimination.
In fact, the 2012 Fair Housing Handbook of California says on page 24 "The landlord should take the time to check out the information and make a selection based on the first qualified applicant(s).", although there is no actual statute or law to support this. In California, like many states, it's recommended but not law.
Choosing tenants in a non-chronological order can lead to fair housing accusations from rejected applicants. Even if you believe an accusation is groundless, the last thing you want is to have to spend time and money defending your actions and clearing your good name.
The Fair Housing Act, a federal law that applies to rental housing across the United States with few exceptions, bars discrimination based on the following seven protected classes:
- race
- color
- religion
- national origin
- sex
- disability
- familial status
Many states and municipalities have their own housing discrimination laws that include additional protected classes, such as sexual orientation, age, or source of income.
Inclusion or Exclusion, it's Still Discrimination
If a landlord finds a qualified applicant but chooses to rent to someone who's not qualified because he prefers that person's race or religion, for example, that's a clear fair housing violation.
It's also illegal if both applicants in question are qualified but a landlord chooses the one who applied later for this type of discriminatory reason. (See relevant sections of the Fair Housing Act and its regulations at 42 U.S.C. Sec. 3604(a) and (d) and 24 C.F.R. Sec. 100.50(b)(1),(3) and (5); 24 C.F.R. Sec. 100.60(b)(1),(2) and (4); 24 C.F.R. Sec. 100.70(d)(3); 24 C.F.R. Sec. 100.80.)
It Doesn't Have to Be Intentional
You might think that as long as you're fair-minded and don't intentionally discriminate, you have nothing to worry about when it comes to the order in which you accept qualified applicants.
However, many landlords unwittingly invite discrimination claims through inconsistent policies such as accepting qualified applicants in a non-chronological order.
An applicant who discovers that a landlord rejected her in favor of a later applicant might jump to the conclusion that it's because of her religion, sex, or other protected class status and not think twice about filing a fair housing compliant against the landlord.
Consistency Is Key
Consistency is one of the best strategies a smart landlord can follow when it comes to fair housing compliance.
Being consistent means treating similarly situated people the same way, such as by processing applications in the order in which you receive them (or in another manner that's fair and consistent, as long as you identify it in a written tenant selection plan and carefully document your adherence as you go along).
Following consistent policies helps ensure that you don't violate fair housing laws. Plus, in the unlikely event that an applicant questions a rejection or accuses you of discrimination based on the order in which you accepted applicants for your apartments, you'll be able to defend yourself by pointing to your history of following a fair, consistent policy.
If you have multiple applicants, all of whom qualify for the unit, you are allowed to choose the most qualified applicant based on income, credit, references, and other business reasons.
However, accepting applicants out of the order in which they submitted applications can lead to the appearance of discrimination based on race, color, religion, national origin, sex, disability, and familial status. It can be costly to defend a false accusation in court, and therefore you should try to accept applicants in order whenever possible.

I apologize if I am posting my question in the wrong place, but I was recently turned down for a rental. I am 19, and I had put down the first application and payed the fee. A week later, the property management company informed me that they had processed several applications anf presented all of the qualified ones to the land owner. He then chose a different tenant, who applied after me, because the other tenant was older with a longer rental history. The company offered to help me find a differnt house because I had qualifed to their standards. I feel I was descriminatef against because of my age. Lastly, I live in oregon. Was this legal, or illegal? Thank you

Hello Everyone,
I can't believe February is over already! I think I feel this way each year, because it's difficult for me to understand how missing a couple days of the month makes such a big difference. Two or three days should not make February feel like a blip on the radar of the year.
But, it does, and it makes working toward my goals that much more frantic.
What were the goals?
- Edit four chapters of The Steel Armada
- Finish Sanctified
- Get Lifelike submission ready
- Keep Reading
How'd I do?
- Edit four chapters of The Steel Armada
- Yes! I worked really hard to get two chapters edited on Tuesday and Wednesday, which means I finished 4 chapters in February and one in January. I'm feeling good about it.
- Finish Sanctified
- Nope. But, I'm close. Only a chapter and half left.
- Get Lifelike submission ready
- Yes? I'm not sure. I did another edit of it last night. I switched the POV from third to first person and added a much needed tweak to the ending, but I'm not sure if it's ready for submission just yet. I like it, it's headed in the right direction, but it needs fine tuning. I'm still calling this a win.
- Keep reading
- Yep! I read something like seven books in February, boosting my Reading Challenge and giving me plenty of fodder for book reviews.
Total February Word Count: 6,623
Any icing on the cake?
- I published 10 blog posts in February
- 3 weekly summaries, 5 book reviews, 1 monthly recap, and 1 craft discussion
- Applied for a scholarship to the Oregon Writers Colony 2018 Annual Conference
- I'm trying not to think too much about this, because I'm nervous and excited, but it's constantly in the back of my mind. They'll announce award recipients sometime in mid-March. Prepare yourselves for that post when it comes.
- The Audient Void #5
- I've taken on more duties with AV, helping the graphic designer look through the proofs before he finalizes and prints. This is always exciting, because it means another issue is about to drop!
- Sharing revisions of The Steel Armada
- As of 2/26, Madhu and I are back to swapping pages for feedback. She's working on something new, while I'm sending her the reworks of my novel, per her feedback from our previous swap.
March Goals
- Edit five chapters of The Steel Armada
- Finish Sanctified
- Submit The Seasons
- Continue prepping Lifelike for submission
- Keep reading!
I've got a lot of them. They're bouncing around my brain and keeping my anxiety up. Mainly, I'm anxious about submitting The Seasons. I haven't submitted a piece of short fiction for publication since… 2014? And I've never submitted a piece of genre fiction.
Okay, yes, there was that stint with Caladria where I wrote a handful of Fantasy short stories and they were published. But that was more like a volunteer effort. They asked for writers to pump out content, and though I got some great experience writing on a deadline and feedback from editors, those stories are no longer available for purchase. They just sit in my "Caladria" file folder, collecting virtual dust.
So, this feels much more real and scary. I like The Seasons a lot. I think it's strong. I think it's ready. But, I just don't know if it's pro status. And that's the real issue. I'm only submitting to professional markets. I want paid for my work. I don't want resume padding and feathers in my cap. I want monetary proof that what I'm doing is worthwhile.
And so, I'm terrified.
I'm also anxious because I really want to go to this writing conference in April, and I'll find out in a couple of weeks if I'll be able to attend or not. I know the time will fly by, but until I know for certain whether I'll be going or not, I'm on eggshells.
Lifelike is coming along nicely. I did some quality reworking on it last night. I actually let my husband read it, which is something I almost never do. He's not a big reader, so his feedback isn't critical or experienced, but he's smart and can give a good sense of what works and what doesn't in a story. At least, from a reader's point of view. I've also sent the story back to my friend Matt, who read a previous version of it, to see what he thinks of the rework. I'm going to let it stew for the next few days and come back to it next week and see what it needs.
Other than that, I'm just reading and editing. The Steel Armada is coming along well enough. It's a big job, and there's some major changes that take a considerable amount of time and rewriting. Characters are getting cut/absorbed into other characters, everyone is getting fleshed out more. Backstories and motivations are becoming clearer, to me and to the reader. And holy-moly there's so much world building! I'm worried about pacing a little, but I figure that'll get sorted in the next draft. Right now I just need to get everything out on the page and really nail down what's happening and why. I can clean up the mess later.
The good news is that I'm editing about 2 chapters a week. If I keep the pace up, I'll have this draft of The Steel Armada done by June. And that is some exciting shit. If that does happen, I'll let it sit for a month or so, and really focus on writing. I'll either return to writing From the Quorum, or write a new short story, depends on how I feel in June.
As for reading, I'm doing well. I'm currently two books ahead of my target, and I've got four more in the pipeline. Hopefully I can keep up the pace and pad that Goodreads Reading Challenge before I finally crack open Oathbringer. 1,233 pages is no joke, and it's going to take considerable time to get through it all. I don't want to fall behind because of it, so I'm reading smaller titles and graphic novels for the time being.
So, that's my thoughts/feelings/concerns etc., etc., about March. There's a lot going on, but so far my efforts to piecemeal everything out into Monthly and Weekly goals is working. I'm getting shit done. And that's really all that matters.
I'm off to work on Sanctified. I'll be back over the weekend to share my review of The Stone Sky, so make sure you stay tuned!

Cheap Rustic "Mason" Jars
The Cheap Part
I came across a need for this craft when I was planning a woodland baby shower. I wanted to add some rustic elegance to the event, but mason jars can be a little expensive. Luckily, a friend of mine had accumulated spaghetti sauce jars, and they ended up being perfect for this project!
Once you know what size of jars you want, you can easily collect them. Who knows, you may even already have a few lying around.
Things You Will Need
- Jars: Any jar that has a wide-enough rim for your planned purpose is perfect.
- Burlap
- Twine
- Scissors
- Ruler
- Hot Glue
- Plate/Napkin: Place this under the glue gun to catch any drips from the hot glue gun.
1. Let's Get Started!
- Getting Ready: First off, plug in that hot glue gun. You don't want to play the waiting game later.
- Cleaning: Make sure all your jars are clean and free of sticky residue. The expiration date on food jars should be easily removed. I was able to scrape mine off using my fingernail.
2. Prepare the Burlap
Here's how to prepare the burlap for this adorable woodland project.
- Wrap burlap around the jar and measure about a half inch extra for security.
- Cut off the roll where you measured it. This will make cutting the strips easier.
- Use the jar to find a height that won't leave excess burlap. Mine came to 4 inches.
- Cut strips and repeat until you have enough burlap for all jars.
You can also see the burlap-preparing tutorial below.
3. Prepare the Twine
- Wrap the twine around the jar three times and measure an about extra 12-16" depending on the bow size you want.
- Once the first piece is measured and cut, tie it around the jar and test it to make sure you're satisfied with it.
- Once you marked out the ideal length, measure out your final pieces. Cut one for every jar.
- Try wrapping the burlap around your jar without using glue. Once you're comfortable with the placement, continue to the fun part.
4. Assemble the Jars
- Place hot glue in a line down the center (front) of your jar.
- Find the center of your burlap strip.
- Place the burlap over the glue.
- Glue the sides of the jar. Then, wrap burlap over the sides. Don't skip the sides or else the burlap will slide around when the jar is lifted.
- Put glue on one side of burlap and attach it to the back of the jar. Put glue on other side and wrap it around, making sure the sides are even with each other.
- Glue a small circle on back-center of the jar.
- Find the center of twine and attach it to the glue.
- Wrap the twine around. Once you have just enough to tie a bow, do so.
- Dot small amounts of hot glue on the top and bottom of the bow. This will hold the twine in place.
Now that your project is done and the glue has dried, let me know what your favorite use of jar decor is below! ♥
