Home > Research Legal Advice > Military Law > My son was ELS from USMC DEP program for medical reasons(psoriasis) he w...
He enrolled in Aug 2011, he was given a diagnosis of possible psoriasis 1 year prior. after enrollment he went to MEPS and passed with no questions asked. He also answered no on his form. He technically wasnt given a positive diagnosis until April 2012, when he saw a dermatologist. Anyway 14 days before he was too ship out he let his recruiter know what the problem was, he was released from DEP and told it would be 4-6 months before anything could be done. 2 days after getting this news, it was a Friday, his recruiter called and said get your paperwork your going to MEPS on Monday-and shave your head(maybe so they can check it?)we got as much info as we could regarding this but not all of it-questions is does he tell them at MEPS there is more paperwork or do we go with what we got--
Army Regulations set out the rules all the military services follow for disqualifying and non-disqualifying medical conditions at enlistment or which happen during service.
Psoriasis can be a disqualifying condition.
"2–28. Skin and cellular tissues.
o. Current or history of psoriasis (696.1) does not meet the standard."
Therefore your son should disclose this at MEPS. During that time there is the possibility that they will give him a waiver to enlist. But he should be prepared to be rejected for the medical condition.
1–6. Review authorities and waivers
a. Medical fitness standards cannot be waived by medical examiners or by the examinee.
b. Examinees initially reported as medically unacceptable by reason of medical unfitness when the medical fitness
standards in chapter 2, 3, 4, or 5 apply, may request a waiver of the medical fitness standards in accordance with the
basic administrative directive governing the personnel action. Upon such request, the designated administrative authority or his or her designees for the purpose may grant such a waiver in accordance with current directives. The Office of
the Surgeon General provides guidance when necessary to the review and waiver authorities on the interpretation of the
medical standards and appropriateness of medical waivers. The Secretary of the Army is the waiver authority for
accession. That authority is delegated down through the Deputy Chief of Staff, G–1 to the authorities listed in
paragraphs c through i, below.
If your son does not disclose and the problem is (will likely be discovered) then he has a potential fraudulent enlistment charge. That charge could result in discharge with an adverse characterization.
He should tell the MEPS doctor everything he has to tell--provide any supporting documents. Not sure what good it would be to tell the doctors there is more infomation to provide but then failing to provide it. If you believe the additional information will help your son in some way--tell the recruiter he can't make the Monday MEPS call. Understand the desire to be responsive to the recruiter, but if its better to wait, tell the recruiter and reschedule the MEPS appearance.
If he does not reveal a condition and later the government discovers a condition that pre-existed his enlistment, and the government believes he knew about it and concealed the information--he would very likely be discharged--maybe under a fraudlent enlistment charge.

Share this news story The Hamburg imprints will set up shop at the city's BeCool club in October. Dial Records will throw a label party at BeCool in Barcelona on October 20th. The night will celebrate the Hamburg deep house institution as well as its more recently founded vinyl-only subsidiary Laid. The Dial imprint was founded back in 2000 by the trio of Lawrence, Carsten Jost and Turner, and has been one of the past decade's most lauded house labels, releasing records from Efdemin and Pantha Du Prince among many others. Laid, on the other hand, was started in 2009 as an outlet for Dial's most admired artists that lie outside of the usual label family. One of Dial's most recent stars is Roman Flügel, who released his latest album Fatty Folders on the imprint. That album was awarded Recommended status here on RA, and described in the review as "his best work to date." The German DJ and producer will headline the Dial/Laid party. He'll be accompanied by a live set by Laid's Palisade, the deep house alias of Sebastian Kramer, best known for his techno work as Redshape. Local support will come from BeCool resident Guim Lebowski, while DJohnston will play the smaller Redrum room for the evening.

Department - De Moor, Tine
Tine De Moor (PhD; Ghent, Antwerp, and London) is currently associate professor at the department for social and economic history of Utrecht University. Through an interdisciplinary approach for the study of the long-term evolution of rural commons, De Moor has been able to revise the historical basis of the widely debated metaphor of the Tragedy of the Commons, as launched in 1968 by G. Hardin. Whereas from a modern-day perspective the flaws in Hardin's theory have been well-documented, the historical deficiencies in his theory were hardly ever studied.
Social capital refers to the institutions, relationships, and norms that shape the quality and quantity of a society's social interactions. Increasing evidence shows that social cohesion is critical for societies to prosper economically and for development to be sustainable. Social capital is not just the sum of the institutions which underpin a society – it is the glue that holds them together. Some key concepts are elaborated below: Horizontal Associations

It approaches the team-building and collaboration process from the perspective of complex adaptive systems theory, and contains some interesting insights in evolutionary development and creating environments where emergence can occur. I've created a summary of a chapter that I'd like to share, as I think it can be valuable for many of us, and specifically for the community of practitioners around the junto concept.

How did the English colonies in the Chesapeake and New England differ from one another...
Topic: Colonial America
How did the English colonies in the Chesapeake and New England differ from one another in purpose?
1 Answer | add yours
These colonies were founded for very different purposes. The colonies in the Chesapeake were founded solely for the purpose of making money. They tended to be very highly stratified with a few rich people dominating their governments, society, and economy. By contrast, the colonies in New England were settled much more for religious purposes. They were settled by groups of families that wanted to live in a place where their particular religious beliefs would dominate. They were very much more egalitarian than the Chesapeake colonies. In these ways, the two regions were settled for very different reasons, which led to them having very different types of societies.

"Tail Talk" premiere podcast (January 3, 2014)We're pleased to post our first AFA podcast, which we're calling "Tail Talk."
podcast coming soon (Dec. 30, 2013)We should be done with the debut, sample AFA podcast in about a week. It will feature interviews with EZwolf, co-creator of the movie "Bitter Lake," and Hemms Osterham, who is involved with the production of a furry play in Los Angeles written by Jeff Goode, creator of "Jake Long, American Dragon."
We are also seeking furries who wish to send us 30-second audio ads for the show. Since these first shows are samples, we will not be charging for advertisements at first. There may be a small, reasonable charge on future shows should the podcast take off. If interested, contact Grubbs at email@example.com. Community Announcements Would you like your furry event or other furry activity announced on this radio show? Write to us and let us know what's going on in your furry little corner of the world and we'll add it to the Community Announcements section of the podcast, as well as to this website. Thanks! furcon newsFurFright has been cancelled. There will be no event in 2013. For more information, please visit http://www.furfright.org/.
AFA to produce radio show (update Nov. 25, 2013)Greetings, furries! I have a special announcement: I will be producing a new radio show (recorded podcast) for the fandom beginning next month for the American Furry Association. We will have guest interviews and some other fun stuff too. The show will be hosted by yours truly. I know there are some other great furry shows out there like FurMedia and Fur What It's Worth, but this one will be different. Those programs are rather like watching "The View" on television, while The AFA show will be a bit more of an NPR style. The intent is to be informative, interesting, and fun for furries worldwide.
Another difference is that the AFA show (no title yet) will include commercials. Furry commercials. So, I am looking for people to provide 30- or 60-second audio commercials for the program. Since this is an introductory trial period, there will be no charge for the first episode or two. You provide the commercial and, if approved for broadcast, it will go in the show during one of the breaks. This will be my second radio show, actually. My first was a show about animals broadcast online called "MI Menagerie" because it was produced in Michigan and was mostly about domestic animals and wildlife in that state. I got to be a pretty good interviewer, if I do say so myself. Some of the guests I plan to interview are Mark Merlino, who will tell us about the early days of the modern fandom and his involvement in it, Matthew Geddes, who is working on producing a live furry drama, and a very skilled fursuit maker whose name I won't mention yet because I'm still waiting to hear back. The podcast will be published on our website, www.americanfurryassociation.org, sometime in December. Hope you'll give it a listen! STATEMENT OF PURPOSE (September 21, 2013)
by Grubbs Grizzly, President, AFA Why have a national organization for furries? We've spent almost the last two years working on one here at the AFA: writing bylaws and goals, raising money to apply for nonprofit status, working on this website, designing the logo, creating a website, setting up a corporation, charter members debating what we should be working on, etc. Once in a while it's good to stop for a moment, take a deep breath, and re-address our purpose for existing (even though we're sort of not existing quite yet). As some of you may know, I write the "Ask Papabear" advice column for furries. A lot of the letters I get are issues about personal relationships and such, and many more are about being a furry. A lot of people write about their problems "coming out" as a furry to parents; others write about how hard it is to find furries in their area; some ask about fursonas and fursuits; others are new to the fandom and wonder how to get involved. That's what inspired the idea for the AFA. You see, the fandom has grown by leaps and bounds over just the last 10 years. Attendance at furcons is growing exponentially, and new furcons are added every year. The fandom is also becoming more diverse. When the modern furry phenom began in the 1980s, it was about a bunch of sci-fi and fantasy buffs getting together and talking about books, comics, and films that featured anthropomorphic characters. Well, as you can see, it has grown way beyond that. It's great that we've become so diverse and complex as a fandom, but this has made it increasingly difficult to connect as a community. I feel, anyway, that furries are becoming somewhat fragmented: fursuiters over here, artists over there, therians and otherkin in another corner, others getting lost in cyberlands like FurryMUCK or SecondLife, Bronies sort of in and out depending on who you talk to, and so on. A lot of people don't know where they belong or even IF they belong. So, a BIG goal of the AFA is to have a central starting point where everyfur can get his or her bearings. Hopefully, as word gets out, furries will know they can come here first, and, as members, gain a sense of belonging. Also, there is so much furry stuff on the Internet (some of it awesome, some of it, well, kind of crappy), that it can be overwhelming. Another purpose of the AFA, then, is to try and organize this tremendous amount of information in a way that it can be easily found, and provide furries with the best stuff to go to on the Web when they are looking for information, art, social sites, etc. We've already started this with our guide to cons and meets and the calendar. Thirdly, we wish to be a service to help promote the furry arts, whether it be fursuit making, drawing/painting/digital art, videography, performance arts, crafting, or writing. There are a lot of talented furry artists out there, and we will be working to make the public (furry and nonfurry) more aware of their works, as well as (we hope) creating a fund to allow us to award grants for furries to pursue their love of the arts. Finally, there is the goal of outreach between furries and nonfurries, including the media and families of furries. The AFA's fourth purpose is to serve as a liaison between the two, creating brochures, possibly videos, and serving as a source from which the media can obtain accurate information about the fandom. Those are the AFA's goals, gentlefurs. We're still trying to gauge whether furries, by and large, even WANT something like this. I would hate to go to all this effort just to get a big collective shoulder shrug and a noncommittal "meh." But I am hoping that furries will get excited about the AFA and want to help and participate. That would be wonderful! I really want this to work and to create an AFA that will benefit furries everywhere. Thanks for reading this, and write to us with your comments and suggestions. Bear Hugs, Grubbs Grizzly Fursona Database Test Is Up (September 18, 2013) Okay, furs, this is admittedly rather crude still, but it works! Go to Members > Furry Resources > Fursona Database Form > Fursona Database and you can see a searchable database (only 2 entries right now). It needs work: better design, etc., but the dang thing works! This is just a test of what we hope will become a huge database of people's fursonas. It's a way of creating a record of your individual character and includes the ability to add a drawing or photo. Not sure if everyone can access the Fursona Database Form yet. Would kind of like people to check it out, too. Let me know if it asks for a password. |
Whether or not you are an AFA member, we want to hear from the furry community. Tell us what YOU would like to see in a national organization that benefits furries everywhere!

Cinnamon Challenge
Cinnamon Challenge
The Cinnamon Challenge is a dare sensation that has surpassed even the likes of the notorious "Dairy Challenge." Here's how it works: Find someone who has no common sense and entice them to accept the challenge. Then, fill a tablespoon with cinnamon. The person must swallow the cinnamon in 60 seconds without puking, spitting, or coughing out a cinnamon cloud. Finally, record on video, put on the internet, and watch it spread like wildfire! See More »
The choice of chaser is an important part of the Cinnamon Challenge. In one of the Cinnamon Challenge videos, a chick follows up the cinnamon disaster with a shot of Amp. In other cases, people are so stunned they reach for anything, including the vegetable sprayer, to ease their pain. There are a chosen few who are able to take it like champs and swallow the cinnamon with only a small amount of struggle. Where's an official to check and make sure it's not a cinnamon-sugar blend? Penalty! Some people truly embrace the spirit of a challenge that pushes the human body to the limit. The two bros in "Gallon Challenge" take on a double header and do a puke-inducing dairy challenge followed by the Cinnamon Challenge. It's double the vomit and double the fun!
The cinnamon challenge is a viral internet challenge. The objective of the challenge is to swallow a spoonful of ground cinnamon in under 60 seconds without drinking anything,[1] then upload the video to the Internet.[2][3][4] The challenge is extremely difficult and carries substantial health risks because the cinnamon coats and dries the mouth and throat, resulting in coughing, gagging, vomiting and inhaling of cinnamon, leading to throat irritation, breathing difficulties, and risk of pneumonia.

Grandmaster Taek Sung Cho has accrued more than 40 years of martial-arts experience and a host of titles on his resumé, including coach for the International Junior Taekwondo Championships and the U.S. Junior Olympic Taekwondo Team. However, he derives the most reward from his role as teacher, a position he has coveted since establishing Master Cho's Talium in 1991. Working with expert instructors, he imparts the value of community and inner balance through the lens of tae kwon do technique.
Master Cho's lessons amplify confidence as well as coordination in young children, teens, and adults. Students can practice with others in their age group or alongside their families, depending on whether their school bus or their house transforms into a giant fighting robot. Kardio Kickboxing workouts toast calories with rapid jabs, and the staff emphasize the social aspect of self-defense training by hosting summer camps and birthday parties.
Arthur Murray Dance Studio has been a leading name in franchise dance since 1912, when the entrepreneur began selling mail-order dance lessons. Expanding his reach, he enlisted teachers to spread his signature dance lessons on first-class steamships and skyrocketed to fame in the '30s after introducing the public to such dances as the Lambeth Walk and the Big Apple. By the 1950s, Arthur and his wife, Kathryn, were hosting their own highly popular TV show on ABC, the Arthur Murray Dance Party, which ran for 12 years. Today, Arthur Murray's team prepares students for rug cutting at special events and weekend nightclub jaunts. Clients who arrive to lessons partnerless will be paired up with other classmates as the instructors assess their current skill level and make recommendations on the most appropriate program. Throughout lessons, instructors teach the foundations of two to four dances from a long list of styles that range from Latin to country-western, helping students to learn basic step patterns, timing, and the ability to lead or follow.
TryKickboxingNow.com's self-defense classes are more than just kickboxing sessions. Their courses blend traditional kickboxing, muay thai, boxing, karate, and interval training to burn fat and build muscle. In order to make it easy for exercisers to learn the kicks and punches of the sport, sessions take place at affiliate gyms across the country.
On this nonprofit stable's 21 acres, a gaggle of horses helps visitors with and without physical, mental, and emotional struggles expand their self-confidence, bolster social skills, and improve quality of life. Therapy is the center's primary mission, pursued via lessons tailored to each rider's pace and needs. Stroke patients, those with visual and hearing impairments, and people with depressive and autism-spectrum disorders are all welcome.
Centered riding combines classic principles of riding with body awareness, centering, and imagery. Certified instructors also use rider biomechanics in lessons for beginners to intermediate to help improve core strength, balance, and harmony with the horses.
Though not officially part of the center's therapy techniques, a host of additional programs use horseback riding to nurture mental and physical well-being. Offerings include Yoga on Horseback, Mommy and Me sessions, and Silver Saddle lessons, which are geared toward older riders and discerning horses looking to incorporate more bling into their wardrobes.
Professional Fencing Coach and Master Slava Danilov, as well as his lieutenant, Samir Machmoud, combine to bring more than 60 years of international fencing experience to Morris Fencing Club. Their collective expertise includes a bronze medal in the 1996 World Cup and an Egyptian national championship, plus coaching accolades that include leading their students to multiple World Junior Championship medals. Despite this imposing body of work, the duo also specializes in teaching fencing to beginners through their club programs, such as group lessons, private instruction, and camps. Regardless of prior experience, whether an Olympic-level epee swordsman or a person whose closest activity to fencing is making shish kabobs, students can comfortably enroll at Morris Fencing Club to build character and stamina through participation in the fun and active sport.
Winner of more than 100 mixed-martial-arts competitions, Tiger Schulmann shares his pride and love for fighting and self-defense with both adults and children in gyms across five states. From first-time grapplers to expert muay thai fighters, students of all fitness and experience levels are welcome to dive into a class at Schulmann's. At more than 47 locations, adults can take classes in kickboxing, MMA, and jujitsu—the last of which instills students with the skill and confidence to take down opponents of any size, strength, or telekinetic ability. Kids, meanwhile, can learn martial arts for fun, or gain useful experience in bully prevention; the kids' classes help victims immediately identify and safely diffuse situations when pitted against an aggressor.

Tightly knotted along the banks of the River Aire, Leeds has risen from its ties with the Industrial Revolution to become a bright, modern city. The city's past is best experienced at the Armley Mills, where huge textile machinery lies dormant in the cavernous old factories. The more modern face of Leeds is captured in the vibrant city centre, where several small districts cluster together to form a bustling place to shop, eat and party. Briggate is the best place to head for great restaurants of many different cuisines, while Boar Lane and Call Lane are the streets to go to if you're in town to sample some of Leeds' famous nightlife. For more cultural pursuits, The City Art Gallery is a must-see. One of the best museums in Britain, the gallery houses a wide-ranging collection of modern and contemporary artwork, from John Constable to Henry Moore.
Rent a car in Leeds and enjoy the freedom to explore the wonderful surrounding scenery. The serene, picturesque Yorkshire Dales are just a short daytrip from the city. Take time to tour through the scenic rolling hills and valleys, perhaps stopping off for a traditional pub lunch of roast beef and Yorkshire pudding.

In Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet, how would Mercutio's character be described?
Topic: Romeo and Juliet
In Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet, how would Mercutio's character be described?
1 Answer | add yours
Mercutio takes on a few roles in Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet. His first role might be one of a joker or clever wit. He laughs and jokes at life because he doesn't take it too seriously. On the other hand, Mercutio seems to bring a sense of wisdom that opposes Romeo's melancholy wanderings and bemoanings. He is a loyal friend to Romeo because he defends his honor to the death. One might argue that Mercutio is like a big brother to Romeo or a source of conscience for a young friend. Mercutio is not afraid to speak his mind in front of friend or foe, either, which places him as a strong figure in the play who is not to dismissed or overlooked.

Three to Get Deadly: A Stephanie Plum Novelby Janet Evanovich
Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:Stephanie Plum, the brassy babe in the powder blue Buick is back and she's having a bad hair day — for the whole month of January.
She's been given the unpopular task of finding Mo Bedemier, Trenton's most beloved citizen, arrested for carrying concealed, gone no-show for his court appearance. And to make matters worse, she's got Lula, a former hooker turned file clerk — now a wannabe bounty hunter — at her side, sticking like glue. Lula's big and blonde and black and itching to get the chance to lock up a crook in the trunk of her car. Morelli, the New Jersey vice cop with the slow-burning smile that undermines a girl's strongest resolve is being polite. So what does this mean? Has he found a new love? Or is he manipulating Steph, using her in his police investigation, counting on her unmanageable curiosity and competitive Jersey attitude? Once again, the entire One for the Money crew is in action, including Ranger and Grandma Mazur, searching for Mo, tripping down a trail littered with dead drug dealers, leading Stephanie to suspect Mo has traded his ice-cream scoop for a vigilante gun. Cursed with a disastrous new hair color and an increasing sense that it's really time to get a new job, Stephanie spirals and tumbles through Three to Get Deadly with all the wisecracks and pace her fans have come to expect.

Anyone Excited or Anticipating?
Anyone looking foward to this upgrade? I'm currently using a Blackberry 9810 but am considering moving on to an android phone and just using my t-mobile line for a blackberry.. or should i get a tmobile android phone >.< ughhh the choices ~!!!
Re: Anyone Excited or Anticipating?
Dual core slider it sounds nice. Sammy as of late has been giving us some sliders:
AT&T & Rogers - GALAXY S Glide
Verizon - Stratosphere
Boost & Sprint - Transform Ultra
Of these choices the Glide is by far the better of the three, as far as hardware specs go. 1080p recording from a 8mp cam, dual core, 1GB each RAM/ROM. The Glide is a Solid choice for a phone.Quietly Thinking out Loud! - 11-05-2011, 02:59 AM #3
Re: Anyone Excited or Anticipating?
I was waiting for this phone because I wanted to have a physical keyboard and was using the first BB Torch, but I broke down and got the SG II. Got it for $50, couldn't resist.
My wife is going to get this phone still as she still wants to have that keyboard. Its a nice and powerful phone, I hope they announce a release date and price soon. I'm hoping to give it to her as a Holiday gift. - 11-14-2011, 11:34 PM #5
Re: Anyone Excited or Anticipating?
If this is the only way to get a nicely spec'd 4"phone then I'm excited. Can't wait for a review

May 9th, 2010PRESS STATEMENT ON THE ESTABLISHMENT OF THE "NATIONAL HUMAN RIGHTS INSTITUTION" IN BAHRAIN
The King of Bahrain recently formed a governmental body under the name of "the National Human Rights Institution"
NGOs consider this a non-independent government-backed organization and will continue demanding the formation of an independent national institution
The choice of members appointed by royal order to the committee of this organization poses serious questions on the credibility and independence of this organization and the NGOs these members are associated with
2 May 2010
After an eight year wait, and promises made by the Bahraini government to set up a national institution for human rights, the King of Bahrain issued royal order (46) for 2009 to set up "National Human Rights Institution". Furthermore, royal order (16) for 2010 appointing the Chairman and members of the "National Human Rights Institution".
One of the main tenets of the Paris Principles[1] about the establishment of human rights institution is that the composition of the national institution and the appointment of its members have guarantees of independence and pluralism.[2]
A glance at the names of the 20 appointed members, we find that 5 members hold high ranking positions in ministries and government bodies; another 6 are currently appointed on or were previously appointed in the hand-picked upper house of parliament (the Shura Council); 5 members are members of other human rights organizations that are government-made or backed , so-called "gongos"; 4 members are close associates to the government which include a journalist, two former officials in the Interior Ministry and Defence Ministry and an academic; the final 3 members are controversial figures associated with different NGOs.
The appointment of this institution through royal order contradicts the proposed parliamentary bill by MPs to form this institution according to the Paris Principles and also did not consult with stakeholders in the community and civil society groups.
Overall, the composition of members does not reflect the voices of genuine NGOs responsible for human rights, trade unions, trends in philosophical or religious thought. In addition, the composition also violates the principle that government officials should participate in the institution in an advisory capacity only since several members hold positions in the Labour, Health and Education Ministries. Overall, the composition is neither independent nor pluralistic and the institution is expected to be biased towards its patron as time will certainly show.

It's that time of the year - the leaves are starting to turn and you might even catch the smell of fall in the air. That can mean only one thing: It's time for autumn decor.
Don't get us wrong, there's still plenty of time to experiment and revel in the joys of summer pigments, but if you're itching for a change in scenery then it may be time to give your rooms a fresh coat of paint. If paint isn't what you're looking for, switch out your blinds and shades and other room accents instead.
Earthy As always, earthy hues are the pinnacle of fall interior design. Rich brown, burnt orange and crisp olive always mark the season, but this year, try tempering it with slate instead of cream. Ditch Thanksgiving in the countryside, and try turkey day in the city on for size. And even though gray is reminiscent of the concrete jungle, it can also be a way to add a primitive feel to the area. Think cobblestones and blacksmiths and use your imagination in your decor.
Polka dots can be girlish, chic, sophisticated or playful. They're one of the most versatile patterns out there, and look great on their own or with other patterns. But how can you get the exact look you want with polka dots?
Girlish This print makes for an amazing little girls' room. The best part is that polka dots are now available as decals, so you don't need to use wallpaper if you want to surround yourself with them. Consider using white polka dots - not only do they match everything, but the blankness isn't as imposing as a color would be. Just paint the room your child's favorite shade and stick a few large dot decals on the walls! We love this look with billowy custom window treatments.
Chic To decorate a chic room with polka dots, you have to think big, and you have to do so in black and white. In this case, it might be best to opt for polka-dotted accessories rather than walls. A black chair with big white polka dots is gorgeous and vintage-looking, as is an alabaster area rug with large onyx dots. The best part? You can decorate the rest of the room within this color scheme or in any other way - it will likely match regardless. For a chic window treatment, opt for neutral-colored blinds and shades.
Sophisticated Pin-point polka dots fit sophisticated decor like a glove. It makes for gorgeous embellished wallpaper, furnishings or accessories, it doesn't matter which you choose. In terms of hues, we particularly love burgundy over beige, kelly green on top of navy blue, cream over chocolate and slate atop charcoal. But whatever color combination you choose, we're sure your tiny polka dots will look dashing.
Playful It's simply in polka dots' nature to be playful, so this is the easiest style with which to decorate in a dotted fashion. But, we do have a favorite way to do so. All of the above design methods use only one color of polka dot, but here we recommend that you use multiple. That could be as simple as finding a pattern that slips a green dot in among its blue peers, or as intricate as alternated black dots with white ones on top of a mustard background.
Got some free time on your hands for a change? Use it to improve your bathroom with one of these small, clever upgrades. It's amazing how little money and effort it takes to make your commode feel new, and with a few small replacements and an eye for design, you too can improve the space.
Repurpose other rooms' gear If you want to make your bathroom trendy again, just repurpose some old items from different rooms. For example, Real Simple suggested painting an unused nightstand and slipping it by your tub or sink to hold various vanity items. Or use a spare wicker basket to stow restroom items in, such as toilet paper or cotton balls, depending on the size. And why not use a charming case or vintage crystal glass to display more bathroom accessories, like brushes and q-tips?
Add a surprising flourish Nothing says brand new bathroom quite like a change in custom window treatments. Just switch out whatever style you had to completely change the way light filters into the space. For instance, if you have used drapes in the past, opt for blinds and shades. You can also layer your window treatments for extra decor - and privacy too.
Apply some of the staples you have in other rooms to the bathroom to make it feel more luxurious. A flourish of potted plants or a chic flower arrangement will make the space feel homier while also freshening the air. If you want something even more unique, go for a tier of hanging flower pots that cascade from the ceiling. Or stick some potted tendrils on a shelf and let the leaves curl down below it.
Redecorating your home with an invigorating splash of mint is sure to help cool you down this summer. The hue made an inspired comeback on the runways last summer, and has remained popular ever since. The look conjures up the energy of the swinging '60s, is post-modern and entirely fresh. Here are some tips for decorating with mint.
Minty fresh walls While mint may seem like a bold color, it goes on walls easily, without being too jarring. Simply pair it with neutrals to tone it down. The pigment looks amazing with black and white, or any variation of. Just picture a romantic mint room with sleek, dark blinds and shades and white windowsills. It's also the perfect color for a bathroom - soothing, and fantastical. Match mint ceramic tiles with onyx-colored ones and white accessories and you've got yourself one retro chic commode!
Rooms with a side of mint Sometimes, a touch of mint is better than going all-out (think mojito). In this case, the cheeky hue works wonders in a cool, gray room with - you guessed it - black and white accents. A lighter shade of mint fits in seamlessly in rooms that are predominantly white. Look for a few pillow slips that feature the color, and watch how they brighten up a room. You could also combine the mint craze with the faux-chandelier trend, and get an opulent overhead light made out of plastic or resin in the hue. Love the idea of mint, but aren't sure where to fit it in? Look no farther than the front door. A white or gray house with a green lawn and a mint door is so precious and cutting-edge at the same time.
Throwback Thursday featuring mint Minty accessories are so incredibly vintage. Think of the kind of cool princess phone you'd see in Grease. Those sorts of accessories are still made, and would look excellent on your bedside table. Or, hang a retro wall-mounted phone in your kitchen. Not a fan of the princess style? No problem, you could get a mint green mixer to display on your kitchen island. In that vein, you could take a giant leap and get a vintage ice box in the funky shade, or take it slow and just get some jadeite flatware.
Who doesn't want at least a little leopard in their decor? One of the style trends spotted on the runways this season was concrete jungle: Gold accessories, earthy colors and wild prints all sound perfect for a living room. Here are some tips for pulling the look together in your home.
Animal prints Implementing animal prints into your interior design is a delicate process - too much zebra print, and you risk turning a room into a cheesy bachelor pad. Luckily, there are some rules of thumb when it comes to the wild patterns. If you want to go with a full-on animal print with high contrast and accurate colors, use it as an accent, such as on a few pillows or a bed skirt. Keep the rest of the room pretty basic with roman shades and minimal patterns. If you're opting for a more abstract and low contrast print, you can go a little crazier and use it less sparingly. Think wall-to-wall carpeting, tapestry or upholstery.
Color palette When decorating with wild prints, it can be best to keep the palette as subdued as possible, with shades of beige, asparagus, brown and white. The prints themselves will vary by color. Designers sometimes experiment with breaking the patterns down and mixing in colors, so you might end up with something like a minimalist zebra patterned rug in off-white and muted red. This sort of piece would be a great addition to a primarily white or neutral room - accessible, while still incorporating a bit of the wilderness.
Accessories If you're pulling design directly from the runway, try to find as many brassy accessories as possible. Your abode might not need jewelry, but you can accessorize it with things like lamps, drapery hardware, furniture feet and picture frames. Throw a little gold finish in with a primarily neutral palette and watch the room light up.
The other material that's a must have in a room that utilizes wild prints is wood. Wood blinds, hardwood floors, wooden coffee table - your choices are endless. Adding natural materials in with animal prints is a sort of wink to your audience, and continues the urban safari theme. Don't be afraid to run with this idea by placing a large, leafy plant somewhere in the room.
Getting a pet is an incredibly challenging process - there is a lot to consider before taking the plunge. If you've spent a lot of time and energy making your home nice, you may wonder how a cat or dog will fit into all of that. Luckily for pet lovers, having a cat or dog doesn't have to be detrimental to your design. In fact, they're a pretty cute accessory, despite all the fur. Here are some tips for incorporating pets and pet supplies into your decor.
Accessories Cordless shades are a must when you get a kitten. Otherwise, your feline will be all over swinging blind pulls. For pups, keep items that are easily knocked over out of the way of wagging tails.
Bedding and furniture Dog and cat beds come in a lot of different colors and patterns, but if you can't find just the right one for you, get a very neutral beige model and top it with a blanket. It's a great way to continue your interior design palette while keeping your pet cozy. You and everyone that lives with you should decide early on whether or not you will allow your pets on the bed or furniture, because once they're on, it's hard to make them budge. There are compromises, however. Pet stores sell nice, stain-resistant throws that you can contain your dog on while still letting your furry friend to sit on the couch with you.
Food Treats and kibble bags aren't always the pinnacle of artistic design. But don't worry about hiding it - ditch it altogether and store your pet's food in glass or plastic jars. If you think someone might mistake dog treats for cookies, get a jar that has puppy motifs on it like paw prints, or keep it on a shelf designated for non-human food.
Keeping it clean Keeping everything clean is tough, but possible. The messiest part of having a pooch is the mud they track in on walks, which is luckily not the hardest problem to solve. Yes, you still have to walk your dog! But there are towels available in a special microfiber material that make it easy to clean off pets' paws. In order for them to be effective, keep them in the mudroom or front hall so you can do a quick clean every time you and your pet come through the door.
Tropical decor is perfect for summer months or in a beachside vacation home, and it provides a cheerful sanctuary from the cold during snowfalls. Here are some tips on how to construct a tropical living room.
Accessories If you're just looking to add a tropical feel to your room, then the place to start is with the accessories. This style of design features a lot of beachy materials, such as wicker and bamboo. For your windows, the most tropical treatment you can use is wooden roller shades. Reminiscent of a balmy cabana on the shoreline, the funky shades will provide you with some privacy while contributing to the decor. Decorate with lots of bright flora to make the air smell fragrant and add pops of natural color throughout the room. Tropical style also allows for a certain level of quirk: If you've been collecting seashells, now would be the time to adhere them to the frame of an old mirror and hang it in your living room for a vacation vibe. Look for coastal motifs as well, such as patterns that almost reflect palm trees and hibiscus flowers.
Furniture Tropically inspired rooms often use a lot of wood and wicker, but you can also channel paradise with colorful, exotic patterns and prints. Seek out comfortable seating - remember that part of the appeal of cabana style is that it's relaxing. Pieces like egg chairs with plush cushions piled on top are a great alternative to going all out and hanging a hammock in your living room. Love seats and ottomans are another great way to get that exotic feeling.
Colors The colors of a tropical room often look as though they've been pulled out of a natural habitat, but the scene is up to you. You could use the beach as inspiration and use lots of beige with blues as accents, or you could pull pigments from a tropical rainforest and use green and deep brown with pops of fuchsia and yellow. To keep it sophisticated, let the neutral materials in the room speak for themselves and stick to muted shades of cerulean. Or, make it fresh by keeping the walls and majority of your furnishings white sneaking unexpected pops of color in.
Summer is just around the corner, so while others are stressing about their beach bodies, you can relax and have some fun decorating your bedroom for the sweltering season. Here's how.
Switch up your sheets If you don't have AC or don't want to spend the money to put your house on ice, your bedroom is probably pretty warm. It's the perfect time to give your cozy flannel sheets a break and slip your bed into something more comfortable. Take a tip from Hugh Hefner and try something bold like satin sheets: The slippery fabric will keep you cool and give your room a fresh edge.
Change your custom window treatments Having multiple sets of curtains on hand to switch every season is a great way to satisfy your decorating craving. In the hotter months, take down your opulent drapes in favor of something lighter, like brightly colored cellular shades. The delicate material can help to let some sunlight into your room and make you more energized and ready to play outdoors. Shades are also easy to adjust, meaning you can filter the light in the heat of day then let it shine as the sun starts to set. Just remember sunscreen when you head to the beach!
Cleaning the kitchen can sometimes be as easy as running the dishwasher, but to create a tidy, organized environment, there are some steps you need to take.
1. Get rid of old ingredients Unless ingredients are creating a stink in the back of your fridge, chances are you barely notice old items that you don't need anymore. Things such as old flour that you'll never use because your child was diagnosed with a gluten allergy, baking chocolate that you won't eat because you're on a diet, and the beef in the back of your freezer that's probably too old to eat by now you should toss. Go through all of your cabinets, your fridge, and your freezer, and get rid of anything that you don't think you'll ever need.
2. Cut out extra tools Kitchen tools can build up quickly, from the kitschy egg-shaped timer you got as a wedding present to the plastic flatware you've had since college. You don't need to necessarily get rid of these - if you have the storage space and think you could use some things for entertaining in the future, stow them away in a labeled box in your basement or attic. But cut out the things you have two of and accessories that have the same function: You don't need two of the same size butcher knife.
3. Replace old accessories Make your kitchen look cleaner by replacing old dingy items, such as cracked tile or old discount window treatments. For an especially clean look, get cordless shades for your new, tidy space. If you keep your pans on display, get rid of the ones that are too scratched to use and substitute them with shiny copper pans.
The interior of your home is important, but the warmer months provide you with the perfect opportunity to adorn its exterior. Planting colorful window boxes is a great way to invigorate your home on a dime, albeit temporarily. Here are some tips for how.
Pick the right flowers Real Simple recommends choosing flowers that do best with the amount of sunlight that the window box in question would receive. If the front of your home gets a lot of direct sunlight, consider planting Dusty Millers or Verbenas, and if the opposite is true, grow Dark Hearts and Kiwi Ferns.
Take proper care Out-of-ground soil holds less moisture and nutrients than soil still in the ground, according to Martha Stewart. Use a water-soluble plant food to help supplement some of the disparity, and be sure to water regularly.
Further adornment While passersby are admiring your lively flower box, give them an attractive background that doubles as a visual barrier. Cellular shades in light colors make gorgeous backdrops for vibrant flora while helping you to maintain your privacy.

Last week, Marie in Apex asked "Is there any truth to the possibility of snow following 7-10 days after a winter thunderstorm?" There's a long standing old wives' tale that says that if you hear thunder in winter, you'll have snow within 7 – 10 days. So, why don't we have snow?

When you look at the cities of San Francisco and Stockton as isolated entities, you wouldn't think there would be much of a rivalry. The metro area of San Francisco consists of 7.5 million people, while Stockton's metro area is less than 700,000. San Francisco landmarks, including the Golden Gate Bridge and Fisherman's Wharf are recognizable to people across the globe, while Stockton is a little known city outside of the state of California.
But despite all of their differences, the two cities, separated by less than 90 miles, have a common bond, ECHL hockey. Their proximity has resulted in a schedule that sees them play a total of 13 times—eight in San Francisco and five in Stockton. This weekend will mark the first two matchups in Stockton—Friday and Sunday—bookending a Saturday game at the Cow Palace at 7:15 pm.
"It's going to be a great rivalry," said President/Head Coach Pat Curcio. "Having a team this close creates a great opportunity for fans from each team to visit the opposing rinks. We just hope it stays civil in the crowd. Leave the battles on the ice."
Their four previous contests—three won by the Bulls—have already created some excitement in the fledgling rivalry, which is expected to intensify. Back on November 9, the division-leading Thunder visited the Cow Palace for the first time. After taking a 1-0 lead, the Thunder surrendered four unanswered goals, giving the host Bulls a 4-1 victory.
Just 15 days later, the Bulls and Thunder faced off again at the Cow Palace. Once again, the Bulls took it to their neighbors to the east. Backed by Dean Ouellet's hat trick, the first in team history, the Bulls came away with a 6-3 victory.
With three fights in the first two matchups, things heated up for their third test on December 13. A Thursday evening game at the Cow Palace produced some exciting action on both sides. Tied at two heading into the third period, the Thunder pulled ahead twice in the final period of regulation. Andrew Crescenzi, assigned to the Bulls by the Toronto Maple Leafs, sent the game into overtime by tying the game in the final three minutes of regulation. In the overtime period, Peter Sivak sniped one home on the power play for the Bulls' first-ever overtime victory, 4-3.
Just four nights later, the Bulls and Thunder headed south for a historical night. For just the second time in ECHL history, two teams battled it out at a current NHL venue, meeting at HP Pavilion, home of the San Jose Sharks. While the result wasn't what the Bulls wanted—a 6-4 loss—the two teams entertained a crowd of 12,881 hockey fans from throughout the Bay Area.
"It was disappointing to lose the game," said Bulls alternate captain Jordan Morrison," but it was exciting to be a part of. It was an experience none of us will forget. The crowd was great and we can't thank them enough for coming out to watch."
With four games down and another nine to go in the final two and half months of the season, you can expect some fireworks between the two northern California squads. Can the Bulls keep up their early success against the Thunder or will Stockton rebound? We'll find out soon enough.
The Bulls return home Saturday to take on the Thunder at the Cow Palace at 7:15 pm. The first 2,000 fans, 13 and over, receive an Orange Bulls Hat, courtesy of Seton Medical Center.
Check out some photos of the Bulls taking on the Thunder.

European Tour schedule to feature Andalucia Masters at Valderrama
- Friday, 4 December 2009
- 0 Comments
Valderrama will host the Andalucia Masters in 2010
The European Tour has announced that a new tournament, the Andalucia Masters, will join the Open de Andalucia on next year's schedule.
The €3,000,000-event will be staged at Valderrama from October 28-31, 2010, and will be the last event of the year on The European Tour's home continent before the season-ending Dubai World Championship in November.
With the Open de Andalucia playing host to continental europe's first tournament on the 2010 schedule there will be a symbolic feel to Spain's glorious Andalucía region next year as it signals the beginning and end of the season on mainland Europe.
A return to Valderrama, the venue that played host to the Tour's season-ending Volvo Masters for 21 years, only enhances the appeal of the Andalucia Masters.
Felipe Ortiz-Patino, President of Club de Golf Valderrama, said: "Today is a giant step not only for Valderrama but for tourism in Andalucia. After a year of discussions and meetings, the Junta de Andalucia, The European Tour and Valderrama announce their intention to create a new event which will be one of Europe's most important and which, over the years, could establish itself as one of the 'not to miss' events on The European Tour calendar."

Horses and the horse people were here before anyone! Why should a few be allowed to spoil for all? This association and their supporters are the glue that keeps this community together!
Anyone who does not like the noise from the Mounted Patrol grounds
or from outdoor parties & school functions should weigh
the benefits of living here in Woodside before taking away some of the characteristics of our town. It's never been a secret that we
have ongoing events that celebrate our horse community with pride Our Mounted Patrol, their events and those beautiful grounds should be treasured and passed down to future generations.

McConnell Again Invokes War On Coal In Proposing New Jobs Bill
FRANKFORT, Ky.— Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell is calling on Congress to pass legislation to ease federal regulations on coal mining. He wants Congress to pass a bill he's dubbed the Saving Coal Jobs Act.
"The first part of the bill would prevent the EPA from regulating carbon on new and existing coal plants, the second would force the EPA to stop stalling on mining permits," McConnell said in a Senate Floor speech Thursday.
The minority leader blamed excessive regulations for creating an economic depression in the Kentucky coalfields, which he said have lost more than 5,000 jobs over the past five years.
McConnell continued to assert that the Obama Administration is conducting a War on Coal and said Kentucky is facing "a genuine emergency," pointing to news earlier this week that Virginia-based James River Coal is idling mines and laying off some 525 miners.
Critics attribute the most recent decline of the coal industry on the switch to cheaper natural gas as an alternative energy source.

The beautiful, newly built Hotel Commonwealth, located in Boston's Kenmore Square, is in the perfect location for many Boston travelers, especially baseball fans, parents of college kids, and shoppers. The hotel is currently offering a bed and breakfast promotion, which includes overnight accommodations in an oversized guest room, and breakfast for two at the on-site restaurant, Eastern Standard (which is excellent – I've eaten there several times). Rates for the package start at $239 per night.
The Hotel Commonwealth is pet-friendly, and offers 148 rooms with a variety of room types and views, including rooms that overlook historic Fenway Park. In-room amenities include complimentary high speed wireless internet access, 32" Panasonic LDC HD televisions with DVD and CD players, wireless room phones (with a range that covers the entire hotel), Serta Perfect Sleeper Pillow Top mattresses, Fresh bath amenities, down comforters and pillows, iPod players, and much more.
The Hotel Commonwealth is extremely convenient for visitors to Boston – it's located right on Commonwealth Avenue, by Fenway Park, Boylston Street, Newbury Street, Copley Plaza, the Shops at Prudential Center, Boston University, and Copley Place. The MBTA Green Line Kenmore Station is located below the hotel, and valet parking is available for hotel guests.
