"These are not your grandma's faded watercolors," Paul says of the vibrancy in her paintings. Unlike ink, pencil or oil painting, once a watercolor has been added it cannot be removed from the painting, and the color seeps into the paper as it wills.

Yesterday's Sunday Times carried a somewhat confused article with many different subjects and opinions from all sorts of people, whose main theme was how history is perceived. Or that is what I think its main theme was.
It focused on a most peculiar textbook that seems to have been published in Belgium by, we are told, the Belgian Office of the European Parliament, but with EU money. This is the first volume of Histoires de l'Europe and is intended for the country's schoolchildren.
This is another twist in the ongoing saga of the European history textbook that will, ... well how shall I put it, ... exclude certain unpleasant aspects of European history. Like wars and conquestst and nasty people. In fact, all the things that make the study of history interesting.
This effort seems to have excelled itself. First of all, it is in French, which means that half Belgium will refuse to read it. Secondly, while incredibly lavish, it devotes four pages to each of the present and possible future members of the EU, even though the span of the volume is two millennia.
Not having seen the book itself and having to rely on rather waffly and hysterical journalistic accounts, I cannot quite tell how Belgium, which has existed since 1830 can merit the same number of pages as Britain. But, I suppose, half a page might have been devoted to Flanders and Burgundy.
The real problem seems to be the somewhat eccentric way of dealing with the twentieth century. (Well, apart from inaccuracies in dates, that is.) The Second World War is mentioned in the pages devoted to several countries but not, it seems, in those on Britain. The same goes for the First World War. The only thing of note that happened in Britain between 1931 and 1949 (formation of the Commonwealth and independence of India and Pakistan) was the arrival of Charles de Gaulle, clearly the only European who put up any kind of resistance to the Nazi (woops, no, they are not mentioned either) German invasion. Germany is there but apparently not the Nazis, though there is a throw-away comment that Hitler became Chancellor in 1933. Somebody had to be Chancellor, I suppose.
Peter Thomas, director of the Belgian section of the European parliament's Office of Information, explained that all this complaining is completely unnecessary as the book was just a textbook and was not scientific. No reason why a history book should be scientific, unless you happen to believe in scientific materialism, an ideology long past its sell-by date, but it ought to be historical. Or, in other words, it ought not leave out large and important chunks of the history it is supposed to cover. As this is volume I, perhaps, all the excisions will be in volume II.
The oddest thing is that before publication the book was sent round to all the ambassadors who gave their opinions. Clearly they did not reply in time as the negative opinion sent by the Hungarian and Turkish envoys to Belgium had not prevented the pages they disliked from being published. We do not know what the Hungarian ambassador objected to. Perhaps, the inclusion of Romania among European countries, perhaps an inability to spell Mohács or Székesfehérvár correctly. Whatever it was, the pages had to be torn out before the book could be sold to the Sunday Times journalist.
I call that rank amateurism. Why did they not have other pages to substitute? The whole thing ought to have been produced in the form of a loose-leaf file, so pages readers or potential buyers are dissatisfied with could be replaced with other, more congenial ones. These people should learn some history themselves. In particular, they ought to learn the well-known story of what happened when the relevant volume of the Large Soviet Encyclopaedia arrived at the homes of the subscribers, just before Lavrentiy Beria became an unperson. Every subscriber then received instructions to cut out the pages that had a long entry on someone who clearly did not exist, had never existed and could never have existed, and to substitute similarly numbered pages, which, quite properly, covered the Bering Strait in great detail. That is how these things should be done.

If you are going to rewrite history, do it properly
Yesterday's Sunday Times carried a somewhat confused article with many different subjects and opinions from all sorts of people, whose main theme was how history is perceived. Or that is what I think its main theme was.

* required fields
Originally published in Interiors & Sources
By Eric Woodroof, Ph.D., CEM, CRM
With technology appreciably changing every 18 months and most major corporations undergoing substantive business changes every three years, notes Jones, "the work environment fundamentally changes only once every 10 years, typically coinciding with a lease expiry." Adding to the equation, she points out that a new generation enters the workforce every 15 to 20 years.
What does this suggest to the interior design community about how the office of the future might look? If practitioners hope to keep their designs current and supporting the needs of their clients-while keeping pace with technology-it is imperative that the workplace becomes an environment that easily adapts to change. In order to accomplish this end, designers need to consider a new business model that centers around the concept of a global workforce that is enhanced through flexibility and mobility, according to Caroline Hill and Camille Venezia in this month's IDEC column. "The appropriate work environment for the global and mobile worker both encourages innovation and quickly adjusts to the ever-changing and competitive global marketplace," the authors write.
To address these objectives, Hill and Venezia offer the following guidelines (among others) to the A&D community:
This last point was perhaps most salient to the client of architecture firm Delawie Wilkes Rodrigues Barker in the design of the new headquarters for Biosite Inc., the subject of this month's cover story. The human element played a key part in the design of the four buildings for the Biosite campus, which is garnering high marks from the occupants for its functionality, reports contributing writer Elzy Kolb. This fact might come off as somewhat surprising, given that the owners had their hearts set on incorporating Bauhaus principles, which are characteristically austere and strictly functional in nature.
However, the design team spent a considerable amount of time to ensure that the design would encourage human interaction with intimately-scaled gathering spaces. "They listened to how individual departments work, how they work together, and kept us involved in the whole process," comments Michael Dunbar, Biosite's head of facilities.
Similarly, the existing headquarters for Dannon Company in Greenburgh, NY, failed to meet the dynamic needs of the consumer goods giant and discouraged collaboration among its employees. As the subject of this month's photo essay, the existing grid-like office environment was re-engineered by Perkins Eastman into an open plan with curved walls to break up the monotony of the space. Additionally, the office also functions as a marketing tool for Dannon's products, with pockets in the floor plan that serve as display areas-creating a museum-like experience that seamlessly coexists amidst the everyday functions of an office.
Speaking of change, you might have noticed something slightly different about this issue of Interiors & Sources. Not only are we introducing a modified logo treatment on the cover, we are also unveiling a larger format that we feel will enhance our recent makeover and provide more space to feature beautiful projects and the latest in new product offerings.

St. Landry Parish District Attorney Earl Taylor says a formal complaint has been filed against St. Landry Parish School Board member. According to Taylor, a local resident entered a complaint against Quincy Richard this morning. KATC reported Monday that Richard may be ineligible to hold office because of a previous felony conviction. Taylor says Richard's record was expunged, and if any documents related to his conviction are sealed, the investigation could be delayed.

5.A book on how to live 100% organically. I'm not sure it's better for you than living inorganically, but I'm two years shy of fifty and feeling I want to cover all the bases.
6. Clackers. Think 70's Sant.
7. Make #3 on the list happen with Sarah Palin.
8. A Burton Love board.
(Santa, gifts 7 and 8 are so when folks ask, and I tell them what I got for Christmas, I'll get more of a reaction then if I answered ("oh, underwear.")
9. An enhanced ability to make people happy.
11. Personal Chef
(Reference #5.) Actually, don't hook me up with the book on organic living because in less than five years they'll be telling us organically grown food isn't any better for us after all. In place of that book, get me a book that will make me appear attractive to musically talented women.
12. Twelve drummers drumming. But only if they're musically talented women.

The Daily Choice: Wooden Wand – Supermoon
Wooden Wand – 'Supermoon' from fire records on Vimeo.
James Jackson Toth is the sort of prolific genius that you can get lost in. Just as soon you find yourself devouring his most recent record, he's released another, and then another and then another, each and all worthy of repeated listens. Don't even get me started on trying to dig deeper in to the libraries of music this man has penned – it's a fulltime endeavor. That said, the release of a new album, a new song, a new hint at what opus he might be releasing in to the wild next is always a highpoint of any day and "Supermoon" the first video/single off his new album Blood Oaths of the New Blues is no different. The track throbs with a sort of road-weary sadness, Toth's voice a whiskey-honeyed guide down some dark, sad dirt path with no foreseeable end in sight. Just carve another notch on the bedpost of James Jackson Toth's musical successes – if you can find a space.
Blood Oaths of the New Blues will be released on January 8th on Fire Records.

I was asked by Tom Post, my editor at Forbes.com who occasionally guides us contributors, to take a stab at writing about gamification in an email today. Little did he know today I have a lot to say about the topic of making work into play. I'm watching the clock tick over past 1 am in San Francisco as my company and I spend the week at salesforce.com's Dreamforce 2012.
NOTE: I have added to this article after a great phone interview I had with Charles "Chuck" Coonradt from the 2nd day of the Dreamforce trade show floor in San Francisco. See Page 2
I first met Charles Coonradt, the author of "The Game of Work" about seven or eight years ago. We talked briefly. I'm sure he doesn't even remember… but I do.
I mentioned to him I had read his book. He left quite an impact on me with his humility and wisdom.
That was several years ago in Salt Lake City, Utah.
I came back to the office and bought the book for my business partner, Dave Elkington, so we could discuss and debate it. He quickly scanned it and I filled in the blanks. We decided we would model our software so that it incorporated many of his principles.
Charles or "Chuck" was into gaming long before Bunchball, Badgeville, BigDoor, Gigya, and yes, even my own company InsideSales.com.
Today my company, InsideSales.com, announced our own foray into the gamification space, we call it PowerStandings. Dave and the product team use achievements, challenges, rewards, and real time leaderboards to increase sales and user adoption. The primary interface is the "standings bar" which provides customizable daily scores that compare the individual against the team or other individuals. It also lets the individual compete against themselves for achievements, rather than contests, or challenges, which compete against others. Ultimately sales reps improve their profile to boost their PowerScore, which showcases their performance on a scale of 1 to 100, much like a Klout score.
He wrote the book in 1984. He founded The Game of Work in 1973 to answer the charge that U.S. productivity was not world class.
He noticed that the same people who considered work drudgery were often the first ones to leave right at 5pm. They were the very same people who spent incredible amounts of money on hobbies or sports like skiing and golf.
This caused him to ask the question:
"Why would people pay for the privilege of working harder at their chosen sport or recreational pursuit than they would work at a job where they were being paid?"
Chuck answered his own question by developing five key principles:
- Clearly defined goals
- Better scorekeeping and scorecards
- More frequent feedback
- A higher degree of personal choice of methods
- Consistent coaching
Little did he know that World of Warcraft, Mario Brothers, Halo, and the Wii would raise a whole generation of Millennials on games merely for games' sake. And that in the process create a statistical and analytical science that today reinforces gaming behavior and drives incredible levels of product adoption… and has other applications.
Do you think that he even realized it when he filled out his LinkedIn profile that the mighty B2B social network had 'gamified' the process to get him and all of us to fully complete our profiles? Thus adding dramatically to their own valuation as they enhance the depth and breadth of data about each of us on their network?
And how could he have guessed that the principles that make these increasingly realistic games so addictive would be used to try and get people to work harder; or at least use software more so companies could measure if they are working or not.
He is known for saying:
"You have to measure what you want more of."
He says in his book that he has built two feedback corollaries upon a statement first made by Thomas S. Monson that may well be one of the most well-known goal setting and feedback principles ever written:
"When performance is measured, performance improves. When performance is measured and reported back, the rate of improvement accelerates."
His feedback corollaries are:
- Increasing the frequency of feedback improves the quality and quantity of performance.
- When feedback is illustrated on charts and graphs, the impact is even greater.
He called it The Game of Work, now we wrap it in some software and call it gamification.
I think we would profit greatly from the path he already gamed.
He taught companies like Coca-Cola Coca-Cola, Microsoft Microsoft, AT&T, Time Warner, Qwest, Abbott Labs, Ralston Purina, Boeing, Wendy's, and Sherwin Williams to game before gaming was cool.
I had the wonderful opportunity to spend 30 minutes on a phone call today with Charles, whose friends call him "Chuck". What a gentleman.
I started off by asking him if he ever saw this "gamification" thing coming and he admitted that he hadn't. His principles have been used by thousands of companies to turn work into play, but he wasn't planning on such a resurgence. His books are taking off again.
He laughed, "Now gamification is a big deal again, it's like they have discovered flight. But birds had flight figured out a long time ago."
I asked him how he first formulated his ideas on gaming.
Years before he wrote the book he had a franchise of the Success Motivation Institute. They had some great curriculum on setting goals that taught people to dare to be great.
The key in the training was "short internal measurements" or what Chuck calls "baby steps" to achieving a goal.
The "epiphany" was watching a bunch of young men working on building a house. It was slow drudgery and was taking them forever. But come lunch time, they would run down to a basketball court that was close by, choose up sides for a 4 on 4 pickup game, go shirts and skins, and compete like they were both NBA teams.
It was a motivational paradox. How come they put everything they had into a recreational game on their lunch hour, but couldn't seem to do the same with their work?
He realized it wasn't a raw material or attitude problem. There was a motivation to recreation that he wanted to understand.
I won't spoil the book for you, but Chuck soon realized the power of instantaneous feedback. It became clear that companies that wait for a whole year to give feedback in an annual appraisal don't just miss the mark by a mile, they miss it by half the globe.
Immediate feedback is the secret sauce. The scorecards and goals are just methods.
"These companies trying to implement gamification need to recognize the necessity of the immediacy of the feedback." He continues. "If you even wait until the end of the month to provide feedback, you have basically done nothing to move the needle on behavioral change. All sports and recreational activities offer immediate feedback to drive success."
An additional book written by Chuck beyond The Game of Work is called Scorekeeping for Success, where Chuck focusses on this principle.
"The number 1 attribute is that the score keeping is credible to the people it is measuring. It is more important to be credible than even to be accurate."
I asked him to also clarify rule #4, "A higher degree of personal choice of methods" for me.
He said the key is personal choice in allowing people to hit their goals their own way. They expect the company to set goals, but don't tell them how to achieve them.
It is like trying to work on Michael Jordan's jump shot. Don't do it. You just frustrate him. Instead, you should talk about how many points per game he needs to achieve, leave the rest up to him.
He said:
"Important people you tell why,
Unimportant people you tell how."
Chuck traveled over 4 million miles teaching his principles of The Game of Work, and he laughs as he notes that is a sign of a life misspent.
His company website notes that over 1 million executives and employees on 5 continents have been exposed to his ideas on feedback, scorekeeping, goal setting, coaching, choice and accountability. He is internationally recognized as an author, consultant, and speaker; his firm has consistently booked over 100 days of professional speaking annually.
Those concepts sound a little more serious than today's badges and buttons and were credited with incredible increases in performance in many areas besides sales and customer service.
His books, "The Game of Work, Managing the Obvious," "The Four Laws of Debt Free Prosperity," and "Scorekeeping for Success" have been labeled "must reads" for management. His writings contribute to the Chicken Soup for the Soul series, and he is a founding member and lecturer at the School of Entrepreneurship in the Marriott School of Management at Brigham Young University.
I wonder if he can even play World of Warcraft or if he cares much for badges or buttons.
But I do know this…
Charles Coonradt still works at playing games.

Letter to God Lyrics - Courtney Love
Dear God, I'm writing this letter to you
Cause I don't have a clue
Can you help me?
Im sitting here, simply trying to figure out
What my lifes all about
Can you tell me?
I never wanted to be, the person you see
Can you tell me who I am?
I always wanted to die, but you kept me here alive
Can you tell me who I am?
I lie awake, conducting this symphony
That you have gifted to me
But, I cant ever sleep
Don't be mad, but I get weak inside
And I start to fall apart, because I feel nothing
I never wanted to be, some kind of comic relief
sponsored linksPlease show me who I am
I've been tortured and scorned, since the day that I was born
But, I dont know who I am
And I thank you man for everything
Sorry I'm so frightened about all of it, but I wish I could give you more
And all the lights are shining down on me
And I feel intimidated by it all
I never wanted to be, the person you see
But, thank you
Oh God, please tell me now; are you disappointed or are you proud?
Haven't I done everything, everything?
I'm so sorry I'm so weak, and I turned into a freak
But, I don't know anything, anything
I've lost all self-esteem, my baby and everything
And I feel nothing, nothing
Oh God please tell me now, oh God please tell me now
Cause I feel nothing
Dear God, I'm writing this letter to you
I am coming unglued
Please help me

You told me I was beautiful
You told me I was smart
You told me that I'd find someone
You let me down easy
You held me in your arms that night
You wouldn't let me go
Your words were filling my head
But I couldn't let you go
But then the weeks went by
And you saw me carry on
Your words fell flat and distant
Then disappeared
You don't know where you stand
But you don't want to stand by me
How I can not go on
When it's so easy for you to go
For 273 days I waited
I counted every Friday
All I wanted to hear were those words
That I was the one you wanted
They told me you were no good
And no good for me at all
You showed me time and time again
How right they were
Yet somehow you still have a hold on me
Your number is gone and those words
I long to move on and hold someone else
But I can't let go of you
This morning, I looked in the mirror and thought to myself, "Damn, that's not a bad looking body. Those legs are skinny and that stomach is flat." These kinds of mornings are beautiful. I met with a client and she said, "Wow, you are skinny!" That reinforcement of what I thought made me feel so happy. I don't mean to sound vain, like what my body looks like is super important, because in reality it isn't. To me, though, it can make all the difference.
It's only been a couple of hours and I'm sitting here now, feeling that the waist of my pants is just a little too tight. I can see the birthday cake I had for a snack making its mark on me. I don't know what to believe anymore.
After a lifetime of struggling with body image, depression, mania, anxiety, and an obsession with food and exercise, I was diagnosed with an eating disorder at 18. Finally, the stress I felt over looking in the mirror made sense. The comparisons I had been making of my body to others since I was a little girl, and the hatred I felt towards myself became clear. I suffer from Body Dysmorphic Disorder, which, simply put, is my brain fooling me about what I actually look like. An eating disorder, of course, is an illness that is based off of control when you feel completely out of control with your life. For me, it manifested around food and exercise because of the lies I saw every time I look in the mirror.
What makes it the most difficult thing to deal with is that I never know what I am seeing in the mirror. I was diagnosed once with delusional depression. Well, that's what my body is to me - a delusion. Some days, I would refuse to leave the house, dress in baggy clothes, or delete photos taken of me, simply because what I saw what too painful, too fat, too big, too soft, too disgusting. Sometimes I would get positive reinforcement, but sometimes I heard what I saw too. I learned that what I saw was a lie, but what if it wasn't?
The days I look in the mirror and like what I see are beautiful day. It's brief but that feeling is indescribable. The kicker? What if I don't look that good? What if that beautiful body I see is a delusion? There were times when I was heavier that I loved what I saw in the mirror, but I knew that in reality, I didn't want to be what I was.
Not knowing the truth is so difficult. This illness gets such a bad name because of the stigma associated with it. God, I sound so vain complaining about how horrible I look. I'm just another insecure girl. But I promise, it's more than that. There is so little we can control in this world and as hard as I try to at least control what I do with my body, I will never be able to see what is really there. I'll never know the beauty that everyone else sees, that I know must be present.
Today is a good day, despite what I'm feeling now. Today I'm feeling pretty. But I have to remind myself constantly that I am also healthy, smart, caring, and funny. When your looks are all you can think about, it makes life become a daily struggle. Everyone else must be looking at me too. I bet they can see how fat my fingers are.
Please understand - I'm not vain. I have made so much progress in the past nearly 25 years to become the person I am today, a person in recovery who works hard every single day to be healthy and, more importantly, happy. I guess what I'm really trying to say here is that BDD is serious and it hurts so many people by leading to so many other problems. The stigma behind it makes it hard for people to seek the help they need. People need to be aware of the daily struggle we face and be able to provide people the help they need.
Today is a beautiful day because, yes, the mirror is being kind to me. But also - the sun is shining, and I'm breathing. So are you.
Sometimes I miss the thrill of skipping a meal
And the energy I got from just a few hours of sleep
Sometimes I miss the strength I felt
When I skipped out on the ice cream and cake
Sometimes I miss the feel of my bones
And when my clothes were too big for my body
Sometimes I miss feeling so weak
When I tried to climb all of those stairs
But I don't miss the acne all over my face
Or my swollen face from self induced pain
And I don't miss the stigma
Or the way people stared at me
And I don't miss feeling so weak
Or having to buy new clothes every month
And I don't miss not being able to run
Or being unable to enjoy a big dinner with friends
And I don't miss the lies or the self hate
Or the way I could fail even at failing
I love being strong and steady
And the not misses outweigh what I miss.
When I was a little girl
I would ask my mother how she got her scars
"This one was from a motorcycle accident,
And this one from my desk at school."
I would ask her repeatedly
To tell me how she got her different scars
And every time she would tell me
And I would hope to have stories to tell one day
But now I know someday
My child will ask me, "Mommy,
How did you get this one?
What are these scars from?"
I'll explain to him
That I fell off of my bike as a little girl
And his grandpa took me to the movies
To help cheer me up
I'll tell about that time
I fell off of a school bus on my way to class
And how a nice stranger picked up my books
And how my boyfriend bandaged it for me
But then the time will come
When I'll have to explain those thing marks
That run up and down my forearms
And how those came to be permanent
What will I tell my child
About that time in my life where I thought
I deserved the pain from my own fingernails
My self inflicted wounds
Do I tell him
That I was weak and insecure
How do I explain to a child
That these are not the stories you want to tell
I'll tell him about the time
That his mommy didn't know how strong she was
How she thought that she wasn't worthy
Of true happiness
I'll tell him that these scars are reminders
Of a time his mommy didn't love herself
But that these scars now are a reminder
Of how far she has come
I'll tell him that he is worth more
Than these scars on my arms
I'll remind him that he deserves to love himself
And that his mommy was able to learn that too
I'll hold him tight
And he'll ask me about my other scars
And I'll tell him all of the stories
And I will never let him relive mine.
I know what the mirror tells me
And a part of me knows it's lies
But more of me than I want
Believes that these tricks it plays
Are what is really there
Because how can you know
When you've never seen what's really there
How can you tell the difference
Between truth and realty
When it's always been a lie
All of those years of starvation
Of nausea and pills and scars
Of my own lies to everyone I love
Of coming so close to death
And still trusting in what the mirror says
Because this is the mirror who lied
This mirror tried to kill me
So many times in so many ways
Yet I hold on to the belief
That this mirror wants the best for me
I can tell the mirror I don't trust it
But the mirror sees right through me
Reflects my own lies back at me
As the mirror who lied
Tells me that it's me only friend
I spend so much of my energy
Reminding myself that there are people
Actual real life people out there
Who love me and believe that
I am beautiful and should feel the same
So I sit here with the mirror who lied
As it zaps me of my faith
And of my time and of my mind
And I tell it that it is wrong
Just to try to lie to myself and feel that way
Maybe it's my fixed delusions
That keeps me here holding onto you
Maybe it's, as he says,
My lack of self esteem
My self loathing
That keeps me holding on
To something that isn't true
Maybe it's that I'm afraid
That I'm destined to always be alone
Maybe it's, as I've heard,
My loose morals
My distrust
That keeps me attached
To your face and tone
Maybe it's my belief
That fairy tales are completely real
Maybe it's, as I've been told,
My faith in love
My belief in change
That keeps me believing
You have that appeal
Maybe it's just simply
That I am in love with you
Maybe it's, as I believe,
My feelings for you
My trust in you
That keeps me staying
When everyone is saying it isn't true.
hey canadians brits and australians have fun at school on monday
Rob's actually real tall guys.
But backstory. I'm over six feet tall so this was the decided plan - I crouched, he tippie toed, and we decided everyone would be impressed with his height.

My nostrils post surgery are quite a bit different which Dr Albin attributes to a difference in healing…? I truly didn't expect to replace one problem with my nose with another. I also never received any recommendations post procedure for easing the healing process like using a humidifier when sleeping to help with the breathing.
Would Not Recommend - Denver, CO
My nostrils post surgery are quite a bit different...
Read 2 Comments
I'm sorry you're not happy with your results. How long ago was surgery? Often you don't see final results for up to a year post-op.
My experience with Dr Albin and his staff has been far from good. Aside from the long waits to see Dr Albin, the outcome of my rhinoplasty was not good. After my surgery no one called to check on my status which even my aesthetician does after a simple chemical peel. During my one year follow up, I brought up my concerns with one of his staff members with a simple and insincere "well, I'll pas it along…". This is truly not what I expected from a top notch surgeon or his staff. As I was leaving the office, his assistant didn't even have the common courtesy to say good-by, knowing that I was upset. I would not recommend Dr Albin and his staff.

How To Prevent Gum Disease
It's essential to pick toothpaste that will assist in treating your gum disease, rather than one that'll simply temporally mask the issue, if you are looking to discover the best toothpaste for bad breath.
Rotten breath is one awkward problem that nobody likes living with. It can make sufferers tremendously self conscious about getting into close proximity with several other individuals, and thus many uncomfortable situations can arise. As such, halitosis sufferers are quick to find out the grounds for their foul breath, and the best strategy to heal it fast.
When this is understood then the simplest option that folks go for is to get the most effective toothpaste for bad smelling breath, usually halitosis is a consequence of inadequate oral hygiene. Unfortunately not all toothpastes are exactly the same and smart marketing can lead putrid breath sufferers to purchase the wrong type of toothpaste that's simply not the best toothpaste for bad breath.

Technology does have a softer, more intimate side. It can make an already-cozy area feel that much more sumptuous. Open areas can feel smaller and more intimate, and media rooms can be made over into private, couples' retreats. And, of course, there's the bedroom. With the appropriate touches of technology, it can set the stage for a romantic evening at home.
The following are 8 of the most romantic rooms that blend cuddling with connectivity.
