BETHLEHEM, Pa. --- More than 40 Landmark Conference female student-athletes and administrators gathered on the campus of Moravian College over the weekend of September 30 and October 1 to participate in the Landmark Conference Women's Coaching Symposium.
The Landmark Conference Women's Coaching Symposium, organized by the senior woman administrators at the member intuitions, was designed to provide participants with an opportunity to learn more about the coaching profession. In addition, aspiring coaches had a chance to network with other student-athletes and coaches. Beyond education and networking, the symposium aimed to help in the recruitment and retention of women in coaching.
The event kicked off Saturday with a keynote address from Karen Weaver, who is currently a professor of sport management at Drexel University and has a rich background of collegiate athletics both coaching and administration. Weaver touched on the history and impact of Title IX and facilitated a panel of current coaches and administrators on how they got where they are today.
Pam Herath, Director of Curriculum and Programming at Strive Leadership, facilitated the remainder of the two-day workshop. Herath led the participants in identifying their core values, aligning what matters to them with those values, identifying strengths and weaknesses and goal setting.
"It was amazing to see the level of engagement from the student-athlete," stated Moravian Associate Athletic Director Renee Hellert. "Both Karen and Pam did a wonderful job facilitating conversations and introducing topics that will empower future female leaders. We are thankful to the Landmark Conference for supporting this event and creating the opportunity."
The symposium also served as an opportunity for student-athletes to network.
"This weekend was a great experience," commented Moravian graduate student and women's basketball player Camille McPherson. "We had the opportunity to meet and learn from female leaders from around the conference, and the chance to discuss inspiring topics on coaching and leadership. It is important that female leaders and coaches continue to be developed, so I am grateful that I had the chance to attend and for the conference for sponsoring the weekend as well as the SWA's from around the conference who helped organize it."

Meet your neighbor... Henry Keena
DARIEN — The first time Henry Keena tried archery at Boy Scout camp the summer after fifth grade, he was not the talented bowman he is today.
"I thought I'd be so good," he said. "I was awful."
Keena, now a senior at Darien High School, tried again the next summer and did so well, he ended up earning a merit badge in archery.
What started as a fun summer camp activity turned into a serious pastime for the 18-year-old. Keena is a competitive archer and ranks 24th in the country in his division.
"I ended up developing an interest in it," he said.
Keena said archery is a mental sport, which draws him into it. Even when he was in elementary school, sports like kickball and baseball didn't have a huge appeal to him.
"I found it was fun, but it was more body intensive than mind intensive," he said. "I want both."
Keena said he also finds the sport relaxing and was drawn to its individualistic nature. So after camp, he bought a cheap bow and started practicing in his backyard. Around the time Keena started high school, his camp coach recommended a place where he could take lessons and start shooting competitively.
Every Wednesday, Keena and his mother, Sarah, drive an hour and a half to Manchester, home to Hall's Arrow, a semi-underground facility with indoor shooting range lanes, a store, and archery workshops. It's the largest junior Olympic development facility in the country and has trainers who have worked and competed in the Olympics. The duo leaves at 3:15 for a 5:30 lesson and usually get home around 8. But through Halls, Keena has made friends and sharpened his skills. He has won competitions at the state, regional and national level, including placing first at the New England regionals.
When Keena isn't practicing at Hall's, he is shooting in the front yard of his house at a target he set up there. Keena's bow is nearly as tall as he is, but he said neighbors have gotten used to seeing him shooting in the front yard and greet him with waves when they see him out there with his equipment. The bow has also gotten a few stares from cars going by, as well as words of encouragement and admiration.
Despite his time spent shooting outside, Keena prefers shooting indoors where he shoots targets from 20-30 meters away. Outdoor archery has more external factors, where indoor comes down to skill, he said.
"It's a lot more controlled," he said. "It requires more skill. The only deciding factor is how good you are."
But you won't find Keena shooting at the high school. He said he's tried to start an archery club at the high school since he was a freshman, but despite collecting the names of hundreds of interested students, the school has denied his request, citing, legal, space and funding concerns. Instead, in January, the school added archery to the physical education curriculum. Keena will be helping the instructor with it.
"At least it's going to be there in some form," he said. "Not only is it fun for me, but I think a lot can be learned from it and there's a lot it can add to DHS."
Keena's mother agreed, saying she's found the focus on the sport has made Keena more mature and patient.
When Keena leaves DHS, his focus won't necessarily be on archery.
"I'd like wherever I go to have a club or place to shoot, but I don't want archery to be the deciding factor," he said. "As much as I love it, I want to go to school for my head, not my bow arm."
Keena, a member of the DHS programming club, would like to go to school to study computer science. But the 2020 Olympics remain a possibility as trials approach.
"I'd like to try," he said.

Charges of sexual assault, rape, sexual exploitation, or sex-for-favours against political leaders are pretty common. Sexual violence, after all, is about power, not desire. And who has more power than MPs, MLAs and leaders from the country's ruling parties? So what's new in the Raghavji case that hasn't already been seen in the allegations against ND Tiwari, Abhishek Manu Singhvi, Amarmani Tripathi, Mahipal Maderna, Raj Kishore Kesri, PJ Kurien, to name just a few?
The only thing that's new is the fact that the complainant is a man. But if one goes by most of the media coverage and the political discourse around the allegation, it is as if Raghavji's crime is that of sex with a man, rather than sex against the will of someone.
Media stories have (with very few honourable exceptions) almost invariably claimed that Raghavji has been charged with 'sodomy'. Not for the first time, we have had to wonder if the media has no obligations whatsoever towards accuracy? The media's use of the term 'sodomy' is inaccurate because there is no crime of 'sodomy' in the IPC. 'Sodomy' is a term of Victorian vintage that describes anal sex, not anal rape. Section 377 of the IPC does hold sodomy to be "sex against the order of nature", but Section 377 has been 'read down' by the historic Delhi High Court verdict of 2009, to cover only non-consensual acts. So, as in any crime of sexual violence, the only relevant matter in the Raghavji case is the issue of consent, not the nature of the non-consensual sexual act itself.
In sum, the use of the term 'sodomy' (without specifying its non-consensual nature) sensationally only serves to fan up a prurient homophobia.
Politicians are not far behind in indulging in homophobia. Rape jokes and homophobic jokes are rampant on social media – with prominent political figures leading the way. Sample a few of these 'jokes' in the sober light of reason. Digvijay Singh of the Congress tweeted a joke which he said was an SMS by an MP journalist: "Uttrakhand mai prakratik aapda aayee hai // Aur Madhya Pradesh mai aprakratik aapda ayi hai" ("There is a natural calamity in Uttarakhand and an unnatural one in Madhya Pradesh.") Dr Kumar Vishvas of the Aam Aadmi Party similarly tweeted, "Raghavji ke baad ab rupaya bhi giraftar hona chahiye! Aprakritik giravat ke liye" ("After Raghavji, the rupee should also be arrested! For an unnatural fall.")
So, the rape of a man by a man is 'unnatural'? Would that not imply that the rape of a woman by a man is 'natural'? How does one define 'unnatural' anyway? Isn't contraception 'unnatural'? Isn't even abstinence as a method of contraception (as recommended by some religions and by MK Gandhi) 'unnatural'? The fact is that human sexuality – in its sheer range and diversity – is not just biological, but very much social in its character. To deem some of these acts as 'natural' and others as 'unnatural' is very much an ideological act, an act of bias.
It is as though the sex of the rape complainant in this case is a license for everyone, including even public figures, to surpass all limits of crudeness, tastelessness and insensitivity. Digvijay Singh's mention of the Uttarakhand tragedy in this context competes for insensitivity with his homophobic rape joke. In another tweeted comment Kumar Vishvas had said "Twitter ka Raghavji mat karo" (Don't do a Raghavji to Twitter – i.e. don't sodomise Twitter). Is this kind of rape joke 'okay' because the complainant is a man?
In spite of all formal obeisance to the anti-rape movement and to Justice Verma, it is clear that Digvijay Singh and Kumar Vishwas, as well as print and electronic journalists, haven't bothered to read the Verma report's meticulously detailed and educative chapter on sexual violence faced by lesbian, gay, transgender and intersex people – a chapter that was inspired by the moving testimonies of activists and survivors to the Verma panel.
The Verma Committee's report discusses how discrimination and stigma on the basis of their sexual identity and orientation compound the experience of violence faced by LGBTI people. The Committee clearly upholds that Article 15 of the Indian Constitution (which prohibits discrimination on grounds of religion, race, caste, sex or place of birth) uses the word 'sex' as including sexual orientation.
If discrimination on the grounds of sexual orientation is unconstitutional, then Section 377 of the IPC is also discriminatory and against the spirit of the Constitution, because it continues to stigmatise (if no longer criminalise) non-heterosexual sexual orientations as being 'against the order of nature.' In 2009, there was no law except 377 to cover sexual violence against male children, as well as adult men, and so activists only asked for 377 to be 'read down' rather than scrapped. Now, the Prevention of Child Sexual Offences Act (POCSO) has been passed in 2012, so 377 is no longer needed to protect children.
In the movement against rape that followed the December 16th Delhi gang rape, we had felt the need for the rape law to cover violence against men, and so had asked for the victim in the rape law to be gender-neutral (while keeping the perpetrator gender-specific, i.e. male). We were acutely aware of how common the rape of men, transgenders, hijras and intersex people is, especially in jails, police custody and caste violence. The Justice Verma report also recommended the same. But the Government, initially adamant on making the entire rape law (perpetrator included) gender-neutral, agreed to make the perpetrator gender-specific, but also turned around and made the victim gender-specific as well! The consequence is before us. The only law left to cover a case like the Raghavji one is Section 377, which still uses discriminatory and unconstitutional language and concepts.
The Raghavji case is a reminder of the urgent need to amend the rape law and ensure that the 'victim' as defined by the law is gender-neutral.
The Delhi HC verdict on 377 has been challenged in the Supreme Court, which is yet to pronounce its verdict. The Central Government has been, predictably but shamefully, reluctant to endorse the Delhi HC verdict and protect the constitutional rights of same sex people, seeking to leave the matter to the judiciary. One can only hope that the Supreme Court will uphold the exemplary Delhi HC verdict, and that Section 377 will no longer remains on the statute books.
When a woman is raped, remarks by public figures and media about her clothes or conduct are abhorrent instances of rape culture. When a man is raped by a man, homophobic jokes about gay sex also contribute to rape culture, trivializing the crime and being thoroughly insensitive to the victim.
In Raghavji's case, the courts will decide, based on the facts that emerge in the investigation, if he is guilty of non-consensual sex. He will not be judged on the nature of his sexual acts. Meanwhile, all of us – and especially the media, public figures and politicians – have a responsibility to desist from rape jokes and homophobic sentiments. And political leaders like Digvijay Singh and Kumar Vishvas ought to publicly retract and apologise for their remarks. If they were to do so, it would go a long way to correcting bias and sensitizing their thousands of supporters and the general public that discrimination based on sexual orientation is unconstitutional.

1. The Forever War
by Dexter Filkins
(Knopf, $25)
Dexter Filkins is a model war correspondent, said Douglas J. Feith in National Review. Since the mid-1990s, the intrepid New York Times reporter has put himself "time and again" in the line of fire, and he's now gathered his notebook jottings into a collection of "brief, often stunning" vignettes that show us the face of war in Afghanistan and Iraq in all its horror and complexity. The Forever War was finished before shifting alliances in Iraq and a surge in U.S. troops contributed to a dramatic decline in violence, but Filkins saw the conflict's dynamics clearly enough that a reader today can spot why even then there were reasons for hope. At a time when the war on terror has become a distant abstraction to most Americans, said Christian Caryl in Newsweek, nothing could be more welcome than Filkins' "ravenous search for the particular."
A caveat: When an otherwise "riveting" account of military violence refrains from making larger moral judgments, said Chris Hedges in The Philadelphia Inquirer, it is always a form of "war porn."
2. The World Is What It Is
by Patrick French
(Knopf, $30)
Patrick French's life of the Nobel laureate V.S. Naipaul is "perhaps the most shockingly 'authorized' biography in the history of authorized biographies," said Sam Anderson in New York. The 76-year-old Trinidadian-born novelist revealed himself to French as "a misogynistic, narcissistic, sadomasochistic monster." His only obvious reward for this honesty was that his chosen scribe handled all the ugly details "with novelistic subtlety and grace." But a great writer requires a biography that is truthful above all, said George Packer in The New York Times. The World Is What It Is stands as "a magnificent tribute to the painful and unlikely struggle by which the grandson of indentured Indian workers" used talent, envy, and egocentrism to make himself into "the greatest English novelist of the past half-century."
A caveat: The book dwells excessively on the humiliation that Naipaul's first wife and his longtime Argentine mistress suffered at the novelist's hands, said Martin Rubin in The Wall Street Journal. It's as if both women are being victimized again.
3. The Dark Side
by Jane Mayer
(Doubleday, $27.50)
"Many books get tagged with the word 'essential,'" said Louis Bayard in Salon.com. Jane Mayer's account of how Vice President Dick Cheney and a handful of other "pasty men in ties" transformed the public war on terror into a secret war on American ideals "actually is." News readers have long been aware of the legal handiwork that put the White House's imprimatur on the use of "black-site" prisons, covert kidnappings, and outright torture. But it took "a journalist as steely and tenacious as" The New Yorker's Mayer to give this bleak history "all the weight and sorrow it deserves." Without question, said David Milofsky in The Denver Post, The Dark Side is "the most disturbing book I read this year."
A caveat: Mayer's narrative "suffers from being almost entirely reliant on unverified claims made in anonymous interviews," said Branislav L. Slantchev in The San Diego Union-Tribune.
4. The Hemingses of Monticello
by Annette Gordon-Reed
(Norton, $35)
The relationship between Thomas Jefferson and his slave Sally Hemings wasn't just about sex, said Scott McLemee in Newsday. By building a multigenerational family saga around revolutionary America's most famous concubine, historian Annette Gordon-Reed has "created a powerful alternative vision of the past" that highlights "the strange and malignant forms of intimacy" that routinely developed between Southern gentry and their favored slaves. Sally's mother, for instance, had been a light-skinned concubine herself and was probably a half-sister to Jefferson's wife. Gordon-Reed is too responsible a scholar to assume that Jefferson and Sally Hemings loved each other, but too probing to ignore the question, said Kirk Davis Swinehart in the Chicago Tribune. She won a National Book Award for this massive volume, and rightfully so. It "deserves to endure as a model of historical inquiry."
A caveat: At 798 pages, this "exhaustive" work is sure to "exhaust the reader as well," said McLemee.
5. The Suicide Index
by Joan Wickersham
(Harcourt, $25)
Anyone who doesn't believe that memoirs can be high literary art "should be silenced" by this brave and beautifully written book, said Laura Miller in Salon.com. Joan Wickersham's father committed suicide in 1991, and the author turned her need to know why into a "harrowing" examination of the devastation such an act wreaks on surviving friends and family. Wickersham uncovers plenty of possible motives, said David L. Ulin in the Los Angeles Times. Her father was facing business collapse, his wife was flirting with an affair, and he'd never come to terms with the physical abuse he'd endured as a boy. Sensing that a straight narrative couldn't adequately contain "the morass of emotions that her father's act stirs up," she's ingeniously structured her book as an index. Suicide comes to seem an inescapable feature of the family heritage, making this "a survivor's story" that "finds clarity in its inability" to reach closure.
A caveat: The book's format may be too "idiosyncratic" for some readers, said Reeve Lindbergh in The Washington Post.
How the books were chosen
We tabulated the end-of-year choices of critics for The Atlantic Monthly, The Boston Globe, The Christian Science Monitor, The Denver Post, the Los Angeles Times, the Minneapolis Star Tribune, New York, The New York Times, the Denver Rocky Mountain News, Salon.com, Time, The Village Voice, and The Washington Post.

The songs range from 2 minutes to just over 4½ minutes in length - a far
cry from the 10-20 minute epics that were only 3 or 4 years away, and seem to fit into the psychedelic pop genre rather than that of progressive rock (itself only in its infancy). Lyrically they are (naturally) quite 'sixth-form': poetic, drawing on literary and biblical imagery, with only the occasional love song alongside pangs of adolescent existential angst. Musically the dominant sounds are those of Tony Banks's keyboards and Anthony Phillips's 12-string guitar: the former would go on to dominate the Genesis sound for the ensuing 30+ years; the latter sadly missed after Phillips' departure following their sophomore release. Alongside them are Mike Rutherford on bass, guitars & backing vocals (with Banks the only other consistent member of the band), and John Silver on drums, one of three sticksmen used by the band before the arrival of Phil Collins. And overlying all this was the burgeoning vocal talents of Peter Gabriel, already exhibiting a breadth of range and texture that would define his style for the remainder of his long career.

Summer visitation is up this year, as more people headed to Montana's state parks. According to a report by the Helena News, officials say the season peaked in July with nearly 450,000 visitors.
Montana State Parks Administrator Chas Van Genderen says, "It's natural beauty, we have a great product here. Our historic sites, all that Montana has to offer, is an attraction."
Nearly 1.3 million people visited Montana state parks during the 2012 summer season, up 7 percent compared to previous years.
Van Genderen says, "We saw a 7 percent increase over our summer season in large part because we've been doing a good job. We have more summer programs that are going on whether it be the outdoor fest at Spring Meadow Lake or the Montana Wild Center."
He says other factors contributing to the increase also include campsite reservation use, outdoor water recreation activity and cleaner more up-to-date facilities.
"We've seen a consistently, a trend that consistently focuses us toward more and more visitation and whether that's because we're reinvesting in our maintenance facilities or our staff is giving great service, people just love the value of coming to a state park," said Van Genderen.
The increase in Montana State Park attendance is a combination of both out-of-state tourists and Montana residents.

I had been wanting to make a Trestle Table for a while and here is the result. Nothing to fancy but turned out pretty fair. The Bread board ends seem to be the hardest part on this project for some reason. As they say the pictures don't it justice. Not the joinery, the grain in the top. I wish I had finished in Danish oil first, Did this one in poly and not as happy with that. The plan came from an old Shaker Furniture book my family has had for years.

The wood is gorgeous. Try tried and true Danish oil – it cures and can be top coated in 8 hours and it looks fantastic!

Students will focus on reading books at their reading level in order to learn third grade skills. I will report your child's progress on these skills; therefore, there will not be a percentage grade to report in reading. Below I have described how reading will run for your child this year!
The CAFÉ Menu is a structure to organize reading strategies for students to become better readers. It is like a menu at a restaurant when picking a meal. With my guidance students select an area of reading to set a individual goal (C, A, F, or E). Then, I teach them a reading strategy from the menu to help them meet this goal. They will also be taught Menu strategies during the year in whole group. Through my bimonthly newsletters, I will inform you of the strategies your child is learning in the whole group. You will see a Parent Pipeline come home each time your child is beginning a new individual reading strategy. This parent letter explains the reading strategy. See the CAFÉ Menu below.
C = Comprehension: I can understand what I read.
A = Accuracy: I can read the words.
F = Fluency: I can read accurately, with expression, and understand what I read.
E = Expand Vocabulary: I can find, know, and use interesting words.
Progress on Skills and Report Card
Your child will not take the typical weekly test that goes with each textbook story as in the past. You will eventually see a traditional story test come home about every 5 weeks to prepare the students for this teaching style with the long-term sub later in the year.
Most importantly, I will be using information learned from individual conferences, strategy group lessons, and whole group activities to determine the level of understanding for your child. You'll see a different form of paper assessment come home every 1-2 weeks. If you ever want more information on your child's progress, please ask. Many assessments I do throughout the week aren't on worksheets, but I track them. I will show you your child's individual progress toward corresponding skills at conferences on a different style report card.
Daily 5
Students who are not meeting with me alone or in a strategy group will be working individually on becoming a better reader. They keep their reading strengths and goal in mind when choosing from 5 activities good readers do daily.
Their choices are:
Read to Self: Reading books, articles, or poems at my level by myself
Read to Someone: Reading aloud with a partner either text or in a play style called Reader's Theater
Listening to Reading: Listening to reading on an iPad and following along in the text
Work on Writing: Creating writing using the writing process
Word Work: Working on the spelling pattern, word family cards, or making words
Textbook Story
About once every 5 weeks, we will read a story from the textbook together and complete the weekly story test. This will allow your child to be exposed still to traditional reading structures. You will see a story test come home that week with vocabulary and comprehension questions. They will not be given a grade for these tests.
Website: Think Central- This site has our reading textbook. There are also various leveled books that will have additional books easier than, at, or above 3rd grade reading levels. Reread or read a story for fluency, fun, or to help your child better understand a story.
Daily 5 Resources: Click on a resource below to learn more about what your child is doing during Daily 5. Many will help your child when picking our books with you or while reading outside of school.

If you…
have an obsession with cats, then your eye will find throughout the day every opportunity to see something about cats.
If you have an obsession with cars, then your eye will find every opportunity to see something about cars.
If you have the habit of seeing the world through a glass-half-empty lens, then your mind will find every opportunity to find something negative in the day.

I have a '79 SS16 Sears, it has the Onan twin on it. I'm putting a new electric fuel pump on it. I had rebuilt the carb about 3 years ago, including the stock fuel pump that's on it, and it never really ran since, I didn't have time to fiddle with it so I pushed it into the back of my shop and forgot about it.
Fast forward to this week, I decide to pull it out and get it going. Ordered a low pressure pump from Amazon and got going on installing it. Have it rigged up temporarily just as proof of concept, but she still won't run. The fuel is getting to the carb but not into the engine, fires fine if I squirt gas right into the intake. So methinks that maybe I need to alter something with the OE pump to let fuel pass through it? But I thought I'd ask on here first before I continue fiddling with it. I know there has been a few guys that have replaced the OE pumps on their Onan's with low pressure electric pumps. So how did you do it? Given enough time and money, I can fix anything, but I thought this might help fast track that process a bit lol

Status: Closed
Know more about this business than we do? Cool! Please submit any corrections or missing details you may have.Help us make it right
The West Coast's Largest Family-Owned & Operated Furniture Store!
This has to be the absolute worst company in the Portland, OR area. I simply can't believe they are still in business! We went to the Delta Park location to purchase a dining table, 10 chairs and a sideboard.
Hakim Hatipoglu and his manager (don't know his name because he was unwilling to provide it)- they sold us "new" furniture but didn't bother to reserve any of it- so it all got sold out from under us. Then they attempted to pass off "re-wrap" and floor model pieces. We were missing 10 chairs and neither Hakim nor the manager were willing to help find them. I had to do all of the legwork myself and work with Joanna at corporate (see hero section) to ship them. In the end we cancelled all our furniture order because everything was simply too damaged. Hakim rarely returned phone calls (unless it was a call to see if I had had enough and was going to cancel the order) and his manager was also curt, rude and just non-customer friendly. They offered no help at all to remedy the situation that THEY put us in.
The only reason this stupid company got 1 star is by the 2 people in this company that seem to relate to customers dealing with extreme situations that are ridiculously stupid. Joanna at corp service center (Supervisor) and Jasmine Simmons at the warehouse. Both of you helped me keep my cool- even though in the end I am still just as angry at Mor in general because all other personnel in the service center were of little or no help at all.
I will never purchase anything from Mor due to my experience- which was completely unnecessary. I received lots of "I'm Sorry sir" and "I understand" comments, but words with no actions actually say something completely different. It actually screams, "If you don't like it, leave me alone and go bother some other store"
Deal with this company at your own risk. You don't have to put up with this nonsense. Go to a store that treats customers like they WANT them.
HORRIBLE!!! Stay away! Too bad I couldn't give them ZERO stars!
Below you'll see the letter I sent to Mor's corporate office!
I just wanted to express my serious dissatisfaction with my purchase at Mor. Approximately 2 yrs ago we purchased two sofas, a corner unit and a complete set of dining tables and chairs. Immediately we had issues with the dining set. The tops were made of granite, were unsealed and seriously watermarked. It took weeks to resolve this issue. Now, 2 years later, one of the sofas has a back with the material splitting right down the middle. Not on a seam, but in a low stress area right on its back. The sofa is covered in "bonded vinyl".according to the salesman would wear better and longer than leather. When I went to the Tigard Oregon store to ask for help I was promptly told that there was nothing they could do. Your corporate offices confirmed that, due to the warranty lasting only a year. I purchased, and was told I had extended warranties on all the furniture I bought. The store manager said it ONLY covered the tables and wouldn't cover upholstery anyway.
Is this the kind of inferior merchandise Mor sells? Sofas that last two years? This is so obviously defective and inferior craftsmanship I'm stunned that Mor can offer me no assistance. Your employees made me feel as though this was my fault and even tried to insinuate such. I believed in your store, service and merchandise. I thought you offered a quality line of products. This was just cheap and inferior material and no one wants to admit it. Please be aware that if we cannot come to some arrangements on helping me with this I will NEVER purchase anything from Mor again. I will also make evert effort to contact consumer agencies, local news services and internet resources to reiterate my dissatisfaction and story! This is no way to treat your customers.
SHAMEFUL! Only 2 years on furniture that is hardly used! Maybe you should advertise it as "disposable"? I threw away several thousand dollars on misinformation and poor quality merchandise.
The store managers in Tigard are absolutely NO help and could care less once the sale is made!
My experience with Mor was by and large positive. The help was pretty laid back, yet accesible when I had questions. Better prices than the 'Couve but if...
Possibly the worst customer service I have ever experienced! 1) you cannot call the store directly. They force you to call an 877 number to talk to...
My husband and I stopped in to look at leather couches. Sasha greeted us and was helpful, but not pushy. He pointed us in the right direction, gave us some...
Mor Furniture for Less is located at 1100 N Hayden Meadows Dr, Portland, OR. This business specializes in Furniture.

World Bulletin / News Desk
Military reinforcement at Turkey's Suleiman Shah Tomb territory in Syria is simply a planned activity and not extraordinary, Turkey's Land Forces Commander has said.
Full General Hulusi Akar made his remarks to the press as he attended a reception held for the 94th anniversary of Turkish Parliament in Ankara on Wednesday.
Responding to a question on whether a military convoy entering Syria meant a reinforcement for existing troops in Turkey's only territory beyond its borders, Akar said Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan and Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu had already made the necessary statements on the issue.
Akar said the efforts of the Turkish Armed Forces continued to "fulfill the given duties effectively in the Syrian border internal security operation zone. These are planned activities, nothing extraordinary".
Increase in fighting
At a April 23 Children's Day ceremony earlier on Wednesday, Premier Erdogan said the convoy's aim was not to fight with the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant, but to transport aid to the Turkish military post of Suleiman Shah Tomb, 25 kilometers from the border.
The tomb forms Turkish territory according to international law, and is currently under threat due to an increase in fighting between the Syrian opposition and the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant, or ISIL, in the area.
Turkey's foreign policy chief Davutoglu said: "All necessary measures will be taken for the safety of our soldiers there. There can be routine changes. The existing soldiers are taken and others come in. It is done according to the nature of the necessity and the conditions."

Sometimes we look at couples; happy couples and wonder what's working for them. How is it that they don't have issues? How have they lasted so long? Well, the truth is every couple has issues. Its how they deal with them is what matters. By just practicing healthy relationship habits, they keep problems way. As simple as it may seem, it's not as easy to implement every day. But if we did, happy couples wouldn't be rare to spot.
First of all, happy couples know how to have fun. As simple as that – they have fun! They don't take themselves too seriously. Dates, laughter and fun – a part of their routine.
Having said that, they also take care of their finances, plan cleverly for their future and take any step to ensure a secure future. Regular discussions about financial topics helps keep away financial stress at a later date.
Moving over to one of the most important factors not just in a marriage, but it any relationship – communication. For any two people, assumption can create misunderstandings and when it comes to marriage, it can truly create havoc. It's always best to just talk. Yes, just talk instead of assuming and subsequently concluding. Reading is a great hobby, but reading minds should never be one. It's advisable that you don't do it and don't expect your spouse to do so as well.
Discussion leads to resolving and criticism leads to frustration. The right path of communication will lead you to the right goal, or do we say, 'couple goals'?
Then of course, let's talk about the dreaded villain in marriage – comparison; something that happy couples rarely encounter. We have grown up listening to 'the grass is always greener on the other side'. But do we understand the implications? Especially in a marriage? Every other couple or every other home seems perfect but as they say, if people were asked to put all their problems on a table and were asked to pick another person's issues, they would in all probability pick their own and leave.
With Hollywood and Bollywood portraying unrealistic expectations from marriage and love, it's without doubt, difficult, but essential to keep those thoughts away.
Similarly, it's best to focus on your own marriage and work on it. Let's not forget, marriage is and will always be – WIP – work in progress.
Marriage is a sacred bond, and each couple must respect the sanctity of the relationship. Every couple must refrain from discussing their problems with everyone around them and certainly must stop themselves from complaining chronically about their partners. It's best not to wash dirty linen in public.
Lastly, but quite importantly in today's generation, happy couples don't go by stereotypical duties that a husband and wife ought to perform. They create boundaries for themselves and set their own set of rules. There of course is a possibility that few couples prefer the old school way of living and that could do wonders too. The key here is to identify what's best for your relationship and something that works for you need for work for another couple and vice versa.
The only goal should be to find the key and unlock the door to a blissful marriage.
The above blog is based on the following article –

Erdogan raises stakes with NATO but to no avail
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan seems keen on keeping tensions with Turkey's allies at a constant high.
He was recently heard raising the stakes further, apparently to the delight of Russia. Speaking June 25 at a conference, he indicated that if push came to shove, his country would question its partnership with NATO.
"At one side, we will be together in NATO but on the other side you will act together with terror organisations. All of these moves are against NATO. In this case, the NATO treaty should be revised," he said about the US-led coalition's support to the Kurdish People's Protection Units (YPG), which Turkey considers terrorists.
US Defence Secretary James Mattis has said there will be continued delivery of weapons to Syrian Kurdish fighters even after the combat to oust Islamic State (ISIS) militants from Raqqa, Syria, is over.
Such indirect duels of words make clear how deep the conflict between Ankara and NATO goes, with increasing risks involved. Not parting ways, necessarily, but to a point that Moscow has been involved in its sophisticated geostrategic calculations: Every move to grow the gap between NATO and its key ally, a front state in its eastern flank, brings Turkey closer to the league of Turkic states in the Caucasus and Central Asia under the influence of a stronger Russia.
Ingredients for such a steady, albeit slow-motion, glide are obvious: Turkey under the oppressive micromanagement of Erdogan has practically lost all perspectives for a membership with the European Union; it is at odds with the United States and Germany over the issues that link to battle plans in Syria and military bases and the defection of more than 100 senior Turkish officers after the failed coup to NATO countries. Erdogan and the top echelons of his Justice and Development Party (AKP) say, despite blaming Gulenists for last summer's uprising, that NATO and Washington were behind the attempt to topple them.
The Qatari crisis did more than cause further bleeding. Driven by a perception that the isolation of Turkey's only remaining ally in the region is meant to finish off the last-standing government with the brand Muslim Brotherhood written over it, namely the AKP, Erdogan sent more than 100 cargo planes of supplies to Doha and reiterated that military cooperation with Qatar will be stronger than before. Turkish presence has increased in the Gulf emirate, in defiance of the Trump administration's allies in the region.
If Erdogan launches more powerful overtures to Tehran, Ankara will consolidate its position as the most volatile and unpredictable player, a move that might serve Russian, Iranian and even Syrian interests. Ankara's engagement is based on having its troops in the designated "de-conflicting zones" prevent a Kurdish corridor along its border by utilising the competition between Russia and the United States to establish a position to negotiate in the post-ISIS period.
A retired military prosecutor, former Colonel Ahmet Zeki Ucok, on June 28, said there were at least 50,000 Gulenists in the Turkish Army while the Defence Ministry's media adviser, Ertan Omeroglu, claimed that 95% of the students and personnel at military schools were linked to the group. This likely means that in the next moves of the Supreme Military Council (YAS) in a month, the army will undergo its most radical reshuffling.
This, the defecting officers in NATO countries see as the Islamisation, even Salafisation, of an institution that founded the secular republic. If they are right, much deeper mistrust is awaiting at NATO headquarters.
Nearly half of Turkey's generals are in jail and more than 400 military staff have been removed from their NATO posts. "There is real concern that basically they have emptied the Turkish military of its upper commanding level, so you have a military that is very weakened," Fabrice Pothier, a non-resident senior fellow at the Atlantic Council, a think-tank in Washington, told the Financial Times.
The replacements are seen with some suspicion, due to Turkish ambiguities with Russia, so a likely result is that Turkish officers would be kept at arm's length from some confidential meetings, as has started to happen in NATO circles. A prospect of ending Turkish membership is not on the agenda because there are far too many issues that bind Turkey and NATO.
Erdogan knows this and seems ready to accept that his country will be treated as an alienated ally within the organisation and it will not help hide the fact that being adrift in a turbulent region will not be long-lasting, particularly if you lose the dimension of military deterrence.

Head coach feels poor start costly
TONY Pulis accepted that Albion handed Tottenham Hotspur their two goal start - as he reflected on his first defeat as Baggies head coach.
Speaking to the media after the 3-0 reversal, Pulis also felt Spurs goalkeeper Hugo Lloris was pivotal to Albion's failure to reduce the deficit.
On the general performance, Pulis said:
"The first 20 minutes were poor. I felt we started sloppy and gave the ball away too many times, didn't play with any tempo and you've got to play with tempo, especially at home because you need the support behind you.
"We gave them a two goal lead and that was disappointing. We needed a goal and to be fair their goalkeeper was absolutely fantastic.
"If you look at the opportunities and the chances and then look at the saves he made, especially the two before half-time. They were wonderful saves.
"And even in the second half we had good opportunities and chances and they got a penalty for a third goal which killed it.
"If we could have got a goal to make it 2-1 it would have lifted us and it would have put more pressure on them. Unfortunately it wasn't to be.
"This week was a difficult week in lots of respects because of the window and you are doing stuff to try and line up and bring players in.
"It's difficult for myself but we have got to get on and we have got to bounce back. We have to make sure that when we do play at home we play to a tempo.
"After 20 minutes we raised the tempo and I thought the tempo was better and we got after them and we stopped them from playing out and we played some good stuff.
"The opportunities we had... it was disappointing we didn't score off the free-kick that we worked around the box. The breaks went for them and didn't go for us."
On Tottenham's third - awarded after Joleon Lescott was deemed to have handled the ball - Pulis continued:
"I thought Joleon was unlucky, very much so but the referee has given it.
"You can't do anything about it. It was a top penalty."
Callum McManaman made his debut for the club.
Pulis was pleased, but explained that the midfielder wasn't fully fit.
"I thought he did well, I thought he looked bright but tired. He has not played for three or four weeks and he has had the flu.
"I wanted to start him. I wanted to give him the opportunity. I didn't want to wait and bring him on. Hopefully he will have good week and we'll look again before Burnley."

Tonight I successfully mounted the trackball, joystick and a button on my sample panel. There's a pitcure below. I think it turned out pretty well.
As I was working tonight a HUGE moth flew in to the shop and landed on my workbench (luckily on a part I wasn't using at the time). It then sat in the same spot for over an hour as I drilled hammered and sawed just two feet away on the same bench. I must have gotten some sawdust on it while I was working, and yet it didn't move. Maybe it's dead or maybe we've got ourselves a mascot. There's a picture of it below as well.

The countdown to harvest is ON!
With the thermometer reading above 100 degrees as I write this, I can't help but think that it is finally feeling like July! The Columbia Valley experienced a cool down in the beginning of summer. We took advantage of the cooler temperatures to remove leaves and laterals from the fruit zone, allowing dappled light around the clusters.
Veraison is progressing nicely through all our vineyards. We observed color change at both Weinbau and Bacchus/Dionysus Vineyards in the same week this year, which historically there is a 10 day to 2 week difference in maturity. Stay tuned to see if this phenomenon follows us into harvest.
We are currently removing congestion and delayed fruit while cluster thinning. This green thinning pass is a key time to be sure we only send you, our valued winemakers, the best fruit for this vintage. We anticipate our crop levels to be similar to last year. We are completing our crop estimate now and will have exact crop levels available to you around August 10th-15th as we send out your Schedule A.

Hands Free
People are morons.
As of some month, 2000-whatever it was made illegal to drive your vehicle and talk on your cell phone in California, unless you have a hands-free device. Now what I've been seeing that's so entertaining, is that instead of fully complying, a percentage of people have moved their phones off their ears and relocated them down below their chins as if this was what was meant by 'hands free'.
So ridiculous. It's almost like a child's response to a command.
Akin to a scenario like this…
"Stop playing with that toy truck Michael and put it back in the box".
Michael looks up at the parent. He then looks around the room with tongue half out of his mouth, and sort of shakes the truck in place.
Michael presses his luck by rolling his truck towards the toy box.
"Stand up, and put it in the box."
Michael lets out a sigh of frustration, gets up. and puts the truck on the table next to the box.
"IN the box".
"UGGHHH!" Michael throws the truck in the box .
It's the same sort of ridiculous behavior coming from these drivers, yet they are not little kids. Half-assed, non-compliant, non-sensical actions accomplishing nothing. Putting your phone on speaker still requires you to hold it with your….wait for it….HAND.
You know, I'd love to hear these drivers' defense when pulled over by the police.
"But…I had it away from my ear".
"I see, but it has to be hand's free."
"But…I can see better when it's here. See? (Driver demonstrates the improved periphery.)
Officer nods. "Ma'am, what's in your hand?"
"My phone."
"Exactly. Here's your ticket."

One of the fun things I have done this month is experiment with image transfers techniques. I started of playing with laser and inkjet transfers…super fun. I made this image of Bree using a Lomo Diana, then digitized it so I could print it out using a laser jet printer. Here is the result:
As many of you know, Polaroid stopped producing some of their beloved instant films. This was a huge disappointment for me because I am a Polaroid Transfer and Polaroid Emulsion Lift lover. I recently read an article online saying it was coming back. I have heard rumors it will be coming back this year…which would be sweet! In the mean time, Fuji took advantage of this and marketed their FP-100c film as a replacement. I decided while I was awaiting the returning of my beloved 669 film I would do some experimenting with the Fuji film. The results were less than satisfying. I read this article which really helped to get something close to a working method. I had to transfer the image in complete darkness for it to work and got quick an exercise with the brayer to transfer the image to the paper base. I also had to use dry paper, which resulted in some blank splotches. The edges that you see with Polaroid film just aren't the same either. Part of the beauty of the Polaroid film is the unique edges.
I then tried an emulsion lift and wasn't very happy with that either. The positive side to those is that the image is easy to get off the backing, but very to get it to stay uncurled on the paper base you transfer it to. I had to use some acrylic matte medium to work as an adhesive. So, I thought I would share my first, "visible" result from the fuji film:

"If we proceed further into the Sacred Scriptures – not in the historical order that the books have been arranged, but in a more spiritual manner – we shall discover the name of Wisdom, which is mystically ascribed to Christ. And thus Solomon cries to the Father: Give me the Wisdom that sits by Your throne (Wis 9.4). And who sits next to God, at the right hand of the Father (cf. Heb 1.3; 10.12; 12.2), exalted above all created things, if not the Lord Jesus Christ? For He is indeed the Power and the Wisdom of God (1 Cor 1.24). Elsewhere Solomon says: I determined to take Wisdom to live with me, knowing that She would be a counselor for me (Wis 8.9).
Wisdom, then, is clearly a Person, and not simply an attribute. It is the Son of God, who is also God's Word; His Wise Word, as the Fathers say. From ancient times, Solomon points beyond time, and reveals the Person of the Son, Who sits by the throne of the Father, a situation which expresses their inseparable relationship, since there can be no Father without a Son, and no Son without a Father. Each one, at all times, points to the other. In this way we have a common, mutual revelation, which is, in essence, a self-revelation." (Archimandrite Aimillianos, The Way of the Spirit, pp. 271-272).

Yaiba: Ninja Gaiden Z has an Image Problem
This reboot and its early-'90s comic aesthetic trod a well-worn path.
When I sat down to play Yaiba: Ninja Gaiden Z for the first time, the calendar told me it was 2013 -- but for all I knew, I could have been warped back to 1993. With the protagonist's garish, tattered outfit and arbitrarily assigned mechanical parts -- Kano called and he wants his red robo-eye back -- this reboot of the quarter-century-old series has somehow transformed Ninja Gaiden into an unmistakable facsimile of early '90s Image comics: The heavy metal, teen-friendly brand that sought to reinvent the medium by giving young creators control of their characters, adding a bunch of superfluous lines to everything, and never getting a book out on time.
It's not just Yaiba's visuals that flooded my brain with memories of wasting valuable money just to see Spawn give a cybernetic gorilla what for; from start-to-finish, my entire demo session was dripping with the same pissy, upstart attitude that once stood as the mission statement of the House Todd MacFarlane Built. Along with the heaving bosoms, shredded torsos, and generally Juggalesque designs, Yaiba has a real fascination with profanity -- that of the "mom's just a few rooms away, so let's not get too rowdy" variety. Characters spout curses with the naive glee of kids just learning that, yes, they can say these big people words, too. That said, it didn't take very long for me to understand I'm not exactly the ideal audience for Ninja Gaiden Z -- but with the game's 17-and-up rating of "Mature," I'm not sure who is.
Before I paint myself as a pearl-clutching prude, it's important to note that immaturity can be done right. 2009's The House of the Dead: Overkill -- and the recent, typing-focused remake -- completely committed to its offensive, low-budget goal of recreating the gore-laden '70s horror exploitation movie, and did an amazingly offensive job by pushing shocking absurdity to its absolute limits. In contrast, Yaiba feels kind of joyless; it wants to throw around four-letter words and blood-spewing body parts, but the madness seems low-key and reined in -- though, thankfully, the combined forces of Spark Unlimited, Team Ninja, and Keiji Inafune's Comcept were not cynical enough to slap on a film grain filter in an attempt to brand Yaiba as a half-assed tribute to grindhouse cinema.
Though its up-front edginess may struggle to give a different impression, Yaiba: Ninja Gaiden Z has an extremely safe, focus-tested feel. Thankfully, it doesn't make the mistake of taking itself seriously, but, regardless, Yaiba's central premise feels like it was chosen based on the most popular trends in gaming over the last decade: zombies, Russians, and revenge. As a result, Gaiden Z never has to try that hard, since it's drawing from a pool of broad and overused ideas we've seen done to death in recent years. In our modern times -- and thanks to a certain billion-selling series by PopCap -- the "zombie joke" is now just as corny as your balding uncle explaining that skeletons can't reproduce because of their Hollow Weenies. The result is a production with the same sweaty desperation of a Count Floyd bit, but without any of the important self-awareness.
Yaiba isn't all that interested in veering from design trends, either; its action remains true to the style pioneered by Devil May Cry and riffed on by the likes of God of War, Bayonetta, and Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance. There's nothing inherently wrong with this approach, but Gaiden Z's fighting system feels a bit sloppy when compared to similar games, and Yaiba tends to disappear within the throngs of zombies surrounding him, making combos difficult to pull off. Chaining together punches, sword slashes, and flail attacks can feel good when it works well, but Gaiden Z falters when it asks you to do anything more complicated -- during the demo, I had an unexpected amount of trouble tossing an explosive zombie into a helicopter without instead targeting the enemies in front of it, blowing all of us to hell in the process.
And, on this note, some of the zombies of Yaiba operate under an "elemental" system -- the elements in the case being bile, fire, and electricity -- mostly used to solve dirt-simple environmental puzzles, like throwing an electric zombie into a nearby generator. If the solutions to these obstacles escape you, a simple press of LB brings up an overlay that shows you exactly what to do in any situation -- not the most elegant approach, but perhaps a sign that Yaiba knows its audience.
Tampering with such a long and storied (and at times troubled) series can bring its share of Internet outrage, so to bridge the gap between old and new Gaiden fans, Yaiba offers "Ninja Gaiden Z Mode," unlocked by either finishing the game, or, fittingly enough, by inputting a special code. This old-school variant focuses on retro gaming aesthetics and challenge, complete with a dialed-back story involving the search for a lost sake bottle -- one that also serves as a refreshing and brisk alternative to the game's typical wordiness. The level I played featured the same game play as the main campaign, but displayed in a perspective more like that of the NES games. I'm probably going to be a little harsher than most when it comes to judging whether or not something comes off as an honest tribute to classic gaming, but in this case, Yaiba's Ninja Gaiden Z mode doesn't really commit as much as it could.
And that's the sense I get from Yaiba in general: I'm sure people are working hard on it, but it doesn't attempt to be anything more an extremely safe reboot, build upon a foundation of bland, corporate "edginess." Granted, I've only seen a small slice of the game so far, but it's still disappointing to witness the forces of Team Ninja and Comcept -- two developers with a lot of history behind them -- pump out a game that would feel only a little less underwhelming in 2007 than 2014. If "embracing the West" entails resting on the same tired tropes seen endlessly throughout the last generation -- again with the zombies! -- I'm hoping these developers rethink their approach for future projects.

We do everything we can to use it to cover our flaws yet all too often, we end up emphasizing them. And that's why, despite the fact that breaking down the details of how to apply concealer correctly sounds like a total snoozefest, it's really is an essential skill to master.
And while applying concealer properly may not be rocket science, it's not necessarily an intuitive process either. Luckily, celebrity makeup artist Mario Dedivanovic (Kim Kardashian's go-to guru) knows a thing or two about faking flawless skin and with his tips, your odds of never being that girl with the awkward concealer blob on her face are vastly improved.
How to conceal under-eye bags
You need: liquid concealer with lifting ingredients + latex sponge + loose powder
How to apply: To cancel out the yellow, bluish hues under the eyes, Dedivanovic says to use a peach-based concealer. Many concealers have a yellow-base, which would only make the area appear more dull and sallow. "The peach brings warmth to the area," he says. And since the eye area is susceptible to wrinkles, br sure the concealer has a lifting ingredient like vitamin A to prevent it from settling into the creases. Dedivanovic loves DiorSkin Sculpt Smoothing Lifting Concealer, $35. Finish by running a sponge under water, squeeze the water out, dip into loose powder, then dab over the area to set the concealer. Dedivanovic recommends the Beauty Blender, $26, which he calls "the greatest thing to happen to makeup in many years."

How to conceal scars or dark spots
You need: cream pot + lifting concealer + concealer brush + latex sponge+ loose powder
How to apply: To completely camoflauge the dark pigment, you need the heavy coverage of a cream concealer, says Dedivanovic. "Cream concealers have a thicker texture with less oil than liquid, so they last longer." He recommends applying the concealer with a brush just where the darkness is. (Try Laura Mercier Secret Camouflage, $30, and Laura Mercier Secret Camouflage Brush, $26.) Then, dab a lifting concealer, which will add a highlight. Finally use a damp sponge and loose powder to blend it all together.
How to conceal puffiness
You need: highlighter + liquid concealer
How to apply: While you can't hide puffiness, Dedivanovic says there is a trick you can do with concealer to make it less obviously. Mix a liquid concealer with a tiny bit of highlighter, and dab it over the bags. Then blend the highlighter into your crease, which will help reflect light and give the illusion of smooth skin. We recommend < E.L.F. Studio Under Eye Concealer & Highlighter, $3.
How to conceal redness around the nose
You need: cream concealer + latex sponge+ loose powder
How to apply: Since the area around your nose gets oily fast, Dedivanovic recommends using an oil-free cream concealer, which "will provide heavier coverage. As you perspire during the day, concealer darkens so you want to use a concealer that has a dry consistency," he says. We recommend Bobbi Brown Creamy Concealer, $23. Use your ring finger to dab and blend the concealer into the crease around the nose. Then take your damp makeup sponge, dip in loose powder, and lightly layer. Try Physician's Formula Mineral Wear Talc-Free Airbrushing Loose Powder SPF 30, $13.95. Dedivanovic says this is key, because "a lot of times the foundation and concealer are two different products with different finishes, so you have to blend the two together."

How to conceal a zit
You need: green concealer + concealer pencil + latex sponge + translucent powder
How to apply: "Since blemish has texture to it, you have to coat it and make sure it doesn't get too oily or irritated," says Dedivanovic. He says pencils are best for blemishes because it's pointy shape "allows you to go on the zit and around it easily." He recommends Urban Decay 24/7 Concealer Pencil, $18. Then take a damp sponge and powder over the area. If your pimple is red, try neutralizing the color by using a green concealer first. We like Make Up For Ever 5 Camouflage Cream Palette in No. 1, $38.
How to conceal darkness around your lips
You need: white concealer + concealer brush + latex sponge + loose powder
How to apply: For dark spots around the mouth, you want to apply a light concealer all around the lips with a brush. You can also lightly swipe it over your mouth to create a base for your lip color. Dedivanovic says for darker skin tones, he uses a white-colored concealer on the dark area, then finishes with foundation that matches the skin tone. "It brightens up the whole area," he says. We recommend Maybelline Cover Stick Corrector Concealer in White, $6.29. And don't forget to finish with a damp sponge and loose powder. Try Revlon ColorStay Aqua Mineral Finishing Powder, $13.99.
How to conceal birthmarks or tattoos
You need: body cover cream + concealer brush + latex sponge + loose powder
How to apply: "Covering birthmarks or tattoos can be tricky and requires several layers of concealer and a lot of patience," says Dedivanovic. You want to use a body cover cream, such as DermaBlend Leg & Body Cover SPF 15, $27, in a tint lighter than your skin directly onto the tattoo/birthmark. "The lighter shade applied first helps to cancel out some of the darkness," he says. Then, use a damp sponge and blend. Repeat this step at least two or three times.
Next use a cover cream that matches your skin tone (preferably of the same brand) and apply onto the tattoo with the sponge. Repeat that step again in layers until you're happy with the effect. To finish, use a generous amount of translucent powder applied with a damp sponge and gently remove the excess using a clean soft brush. "The main trick here is to do little by little in several thin layers," he says.
How to conceal spider veins
You need: pencil concealer + foundation + latex sponge + loose powder
How to apply: "Spider veins can be covered with your regular foundation followed by a pencil concealer dabbed directly onto the broken capillaries and blended with your ring finger," says Dedivanovic. Try Shiseido The Makeup Corrector Pencil, $18. "I like to then go over it again with a light layer of foundation just to really blend the products into the skin and ensure that the skin tone is even," he suggests. Lastly use a damp sponge dipped into loose powder. Try Shiseido The Makeup Translucent Loose Powder, $35.

It ruins people's lives–in the most perfect way possible.
Winner of the Sundance Audience Award in 2011, Circumstance is one of the most beautiful and (not coincidentally) most heartbreaking films out there. The film opens with the return of a wealthy Iranian family's prodigal son, Mehran, while their teenage daughter, Atafeh, rebels against Sharia law with her orphaned best friend Shireen. Mehran's descent into religious fanaticism and obsession coincides with Atafeh and Shireen's descent into love (and therefore, their own kind of madness).
Thematically, it's a film about family, obligation, obsession, and Iranian youth culture. It's a coming of age story and a coming to terms story. It's about dreaming, about realism, and about growing up. It packs a punch.
You'll need two hours to watch it and twice that many to process.

Queen Street Water Treatment Plant
9 Queen Street West
Most of the services provided by the Department can be identified as essential services. Primary divisions managed by this department are: Water Treatment; Wastewater Treatment; and Solid Waste Management. The Department also administers outside consultants and contractors hired by the City relating to capital construction projects as well as operations relating to the water and wastewater treatment plants, garbage collection, recycling, large scale composting and landfill operations.
Logan Green Water Management System
The City of Yorkton is the largest urban centre in Saskatchewan that relies solely on groundwater. Groundwater is obtained from five main aquifers and thirteen deep wells located within a ten kilometre radius of Yorkton. Raw water is pumped to the Yorkton Water Treatment Plant where it goes through processes of aeration, filtration and chlorination prior to distribution to city residents.
The new Yorkton Water Treatment Plant has been in full operation since January, 2011. It is a high output facility, designed to meet the growing demands for city residential, commercial and industrial water use for the next twenty-five years.
The plant is situated on Logan Green in the south central area of the city and is part of the Logan Green Water Management System. This area had already been zoned as environmentally sensitive and provides the ideal location for the water treatment plant and associated system. Not only does the plant incorporate the latest technology in water treatment, it includes innovative and green methods of handling the plant backwash water generated from regular flushing of the filter system. This concept involves the channelling of approximately 1,000,000 litres of daily backwash water through a series of settling ponds ultimately recharging the natural aquifer. Due to the constant flow of water through the system, future plans involve stocking one of the ponds with fish to demonstrate the water quality created. The existing pedestrian pathway system will be enhanced and will include an educational component on the environment and habitat in this area.
Fill material removed during excavation in the construction area provided an area for six new multi-use sporting fields for public enjoyment as well as a venue for hosting large scale outdoor sporting events.
The Grand Opening Video for the project produced by Saskatchewan Municipal Affairs can be viewed here: Municipal Affairs Video
The Environmental Excellence Award was established in 2005 by the Association of Professional Engineers and Geoscientists of Saskatchewan. It is given in recognition of exceptional achievements by an individual or team in the application of engineering, geological and/or geophysical methods related to environmental protection and preservation.
March 27, 2013 News Release
The City of Yorkton has established an automatic bulk fill station service for customers requiring larger immediate water volumes. The fill station became operational in January of 2013 and is ready to serve a variety of customers 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Coin operation, prepayment or charge services are all available depending on the customers needs.
The fill station is located on Highway 10 East, next to Deneschuk Homes.
The City of Yorkton owns and operates the H. M. Bailey Water Pollution Control Plant, a semi-automated secondary wastewater treatment facility. The facility uses entirely biological methods, to process residential, commercial and industrial wastewater. The resulting product meets all provincial water quality standards.
Untreated wastewater is not only a health concern, but also problematic due to the high oxygen demand it places on the environment. As solid matter in wastewater breaks down it uses large amounts of oxygen dissolved in the water. In an environment such as a lake or stream, this large oxygen demand destroys the natural balance, and aquatic life suffers.
The goals of the treatment plant are:
This purified water is discharged into Yorkton Creek. The entire process is closely monitored, and testing is done on a regular basis.
Byproducts of the process are:
Following Municipal Waste Regulations defined by the Saskatchewan Ministry of Environment, Environmental Services manages the collection and disposal of solid wastes and recycling programs for the City. Many recycling programs have been developed in coordination with Sarcan (our local recycling depot) and other provincial and local organizations. These activities are coordinated with a commercial and residential waste collection contractor, local organizations (recycling) and the landfill operations contractor.
Solid waste collection services are provided on a weekly basis. All waste is transported to the municipal landfill, two kilometres northeast of the city near the water pollution control plant. The landfill is operated six days per week on a seasonal schedule.
