I've made a few mood boards in my time as an interior designer and I've always understood the value in using these to portray my vision to the client. But I've never been taught how to put one together – it's just something I've instinctively done and I've always been happy enough with the results. But recently I've done a couple of moodboarding workshops; one with the wonderful Natalie Tolhopf who I get business coaching from, and the other from Gudy Herder an international trend expert, trainer and speaker in the design industry. Mood boards can be used in a variety of different situations – they are commonly used in the design field – but they can be just as effective in creating a strong vision for where you are heading in your personal life, whether that's your career, retirement, keeping fit and active, wedding or party planning etc. I've learnt different things from both and will summarise them below…
- Spend the time before hand thinking about words that describe your vision for the project at hand. This is really important and will help you create a clear, concise message on your board.
- When selecting images collect more than you need so that you can narrow your choices down once you start putting your board together. Collect other items too; buttons, ribbon, fabric, paint samples, leaves etc – these add a layered quality to your board, creating texture and interest.
- Have everything ready before you start; glue, blue-tac, double-sided tape, coffee (hahaha), the board you wish to use….once you start creating it is really helpful to "stay in the flow"….this might be lost if you have to nip out to the stationary store for supplies!
You might know that we are (slowly) renovating our kitchen. I've spent a lot of time saving images on Pinterest and from magazines, but do you know what? It was until I created my kitchen mood board yesterday (pictured above) that I realised I didn't want the black sink I had been SURE about all year! This is how important they can be for crystallising your ideas/thoughts.
Here's a few more from Pinterest to get you inspired….(click on each to link to source)…
If you are interested in finding out more about how to create a great looking mood board that also has a strong message then consider doing a workshop with either of the people mentioned above. If you live in Auckland you could do one with Natalie Tolhopf or you can be anywhere in the world and do Gudy Herder's workshop online. Or you can send me an email firstname.lastname@example.com to discuss how I could help.
Have fun with it!

At Kohler we believe that quality and environmental responsibility go hand in hand. The second plank of our sustainability strategy is to drive growth and innovation in sustainable products and services. We are developing products that have lower environmental impacts over their entire life cycle and are beginning to systematically incorporate sustainability into the product development process.
Our continued focus on water-efficient products empowers consumers to make a difference in their own homes. Since the first KOHLER products carrying the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) WaterSense® label were introduced in 2007, these products have allowed consumers to reduce water use by over 110 billion gallons and save over $1.3 billion in water, sewer and energy costs.
In late 2015 we shipped our first order of KOHLER® Clarity™ water filters, designed to help bring safe water to underserved communities. Currently there are 1.8 billion people in the world who lack access to safe drinking water and, as a result, are exposed to debilitating infectious diseases. We also constructed the first prototype of our Closed-Loop Advanced Sanitation System while working in conjunction with the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and the California Institute of Technology. The prototypes are being field-tested in Coimbatore, India, and we are looking to incorporate these learnings into the next generation of distributed sanitation products.
Our aim first and foremost is to pioneer design advancements that bring enhanced functionality and beautiful style to your life. Environmental considerations are one of the many lenses through which we approach innovation.
Design for the Environment (DfE) is an approach to product development that considers the environmental impact of a product throughout its lifecycle – from the extraction of its raw materials through manufacturing, packaging, use and to its ultimate end via recycling, repurposing, or disposal. In 2013, Kohler formalized its commitment to developing more environmentally favorable products and incorporated DfE principles into our product development process. We set criteria in the following areas to determine if a product really is more environmentally favorable:
Today, DfE is a normal part of how Kohler designers approach their work. As recycling and reuse technologies continue to evolve, we continue to learn how to create products that you not only love and want in your life, but that make good environmental– and business – sense.
Square pegs, round holes. That was the problem with our Toilets-to-Go packaging. The boxes were cumbersome, they enclosed a lot of air and they wasted a lot of material. Applying some innovative, DfE thinking, our team came up with the "Octobox," an eight-sided wonder that's stronger, easier to pick up, and uses 23% less cardboard – which translates to an annual savings of more than 20 million square feet of material. Taking our thinking a step further, we now print the installation instructions on the box rather than on separate sheets of paper, and that amounts to an additional annual savings of more than 11,200 pounds of paper.
Our tailored bathroom vanities have DfE woven into almost every aspect of their design.
In addition, the factory uses a closed-loop chemical recovery system, efficient lights and low-emission vehicles in the logistics and delivery of materials and finished products.
When it was time to update the electronic fuel injection (EFI) system developed years ago for our general purpose engines, Kohler engineers went several steps further, developing it for propane as well as gasoline-fueled engines. The result was an EFI that reduced fuel consumption by up to 25% compared to an engine with a carburetor and one that in its propane-fueled version reduced greenhouse gas emissions by 50%.
We've committed to steadily increasing the number of more environmentally favorable products in our portfolio and total sales. These are products that provide measurable environmental benefits to either you or us or both. For us, that means bringing you products that deliver the incredible performance and style you know and love, in a way that's responsible and respectful of the environment. And simply put, that's just good business.
We set criteria in the following areas to determine if a product really is more environmentally favorable:
When it comes to products, Believing in Better means challenging ourselves to create products and services that exceed our customer's performance and design expectations and are also better for the environment.
An Environmental Product Declaration (EPD®) is a verified, registered document that provides quantified data on the life-cycle environmental impact of a product. The data included is standardized in accordance with ISO 14025.
In practical terms, an EPD allows people concerned about the environment to make informed choices about the products they purchase. It discloses the material content of the product, its percentages of recycled and recyclable content, its cradle-to-grave carbon footprint and its relevant certifications. Kohler is pleased to provide Environmental Product Declarations for a growing selection of our products.
The U.S. Green Building Council awards up to 2 LEED points to green building projects that use products with verified EPDs.
2 gallons of water per flush
A surprisingly low gpf, for the era. Gravity did all the work for these early models.
8 - 10 gallons of water per flush
As styles changed, the standard was having the tank sit directly on the back of the bowl.
3.5 gallons of water per flush
The Wellworth® Water-Guard toilet reduced water use to 3.5 gallons per flush.
1.6 gallons of water per flush
In 1989, Kohler introduced Wellworth® Lite featuring a 1.6 gallons flush.
1.6 gallons of water per flush
In 1991, Pressure Clean toilets first appeared, using only 1.0 to 1.4 gallons of water.
1.28 gallons of water per flush
In 2007, the WaterSense Toilet Standard was established. We offer a variety of technologies that use 1.28 gallons per flush.

Along with a man's age are developing health problems, that is why it's very unlikely for medical establishments not to have patients. Thus, along with increase of patients should also be increase in medical employees that will totally cater to all the needs of every patient. And these people are what we call certified nursing assistants (CNAs).
An accredited training is among the requirements to getting certified. What comes with this training is obviously, tuition fee. Most training centers in Pleasant Grove is recognized to offer $400, while expensive programs amounting to $1000 is common in Pleasant Grove. Great news is, there are free CNA training programs you might actually get into.
Start your search for free classes at hospitals, nursing homes, and even at online learning facilities. It is usually the aim of medical facilities to offer free classes to get quality staff that can help with the daily tasks. After all, the expense of hiring new workers just offsets the training tuition. There are several hospitals and nursing homes that require payback services from their graduates. You can also visit your local employment office anytime to be more knowledgeable concerning scholarship opportunities. Good thing is they also have the initiative of spreading this news to the general public. The CNA program is made for free by the state to those who pass a few qualifications. This is the scenario in Utah.
The list of free CNA training classes won't be complete without online learning centers. This makes you the boss while offering a surrounding very conducive to learning. Certainly it is something well worth the try.Author: Paula Shelton

SoCal Drought over?
User Forum Topic
Submitted by The-Shoveler on January 7, 2017 - 9:12am
A little early maybe but I think we are over this.
'State of panic' grips Northern California as atmospheric river approaches the Sierra Nevada.
This is a break in the drought, only time will tell whether the next few years will be wet or dry.
I predict more rain as we had years of drought. Could be the wet period for La Nina?
There is a good weather blog I follow:
He has a posting on the drought and knows far more than me about this.
Key point: there was a high pressure ridge off the Pacific Northwest for the past few years which got in the way of the normal rains. That is gone now, so unless it comes back, we should be out of the drought.
It doesn't matter if the drought is over or not.
The water restrictions, water cops and everything else isn't going away.
Mandates for green power.
That's all one giant $ gravy trough and you need to get in and slurp some up.
We got rebates for two lawns. Should have done a third.
We've done the solar thing on five properties: 14% ROI = 10K in annual cash flow with 70K investment.
we have two plug in cars, may upgrade to a Model 3 or another 200+ mile range EV in next 2 years.
so we're on it and it does save money. admittedly, there may be pressure to cut back on some if this if we hit a serious recession, hopefully Trump will succeed (didn't vote for him) so we get moderate growth for near future.

a little bit of history:
Very interesting! Thank you for sharing that article, JerseyGrl.
Wow. Yes indeed. Thanks!
That is a great article.
Something you all probably don't know: I lived in Marysville/YC for many moons.
I have been a part of that community during one major flood (1980s), heard tales of the earlier flood (1950s), and witnessed many near breaches of the levees in other years. It has permanently affected the way my wife and I live our life. We intentionally didn't buy homes near the San Luis Rey River and always keep our gas tanks over half full. Live under threat of flood and you'll know why.
In my opinion the only reason they haven't seen more flooding on the scale of what was described in the article is increases in flood controls - the levee system has been greatly increased and many dams were built to contain runoff to a large degree. SoCal folks don't even talk about Oroville Dam, but that is a magnificent creation. Shasta and Oroville Dams do an enormous amount to protect everything downstream including Sac and bay areas.
The threat of flood is unlike that of tornado or earthquake...those two events are over very shortly after the residents even knew they were coming. Floods on the other hand build slowly over a period of time. People lose sleep, worry about their family, and can barely function while the waters rise. This can go on for days or weeks, depending on the weather.
I was at Oroville last 4th of July and the lake was up from the terrible low of the year before , but now it's nearing capacity, so , what then if we really do get an "atmospheric river" ?
Maybe CA should not secede just yet, bring in FEMA?
Looks like the county of SD is going to get soaked today and over the weekend!
Be safe out there!
Funny that you should mention Oroville as that is where my folks live. Nice country place and dirt cheap compared to San Diego but then again there are no high paying jobs up there.
SoCal folks don't even talk about Oroville Dam, but that is a magnificent creation. Shasta and Oroville Dams do an enormous amount to protect everything downstream including Sac and bay areas.
Problems at Oroville - the spillway is collapsing.
The water is still rising and expected to go over the Emergency Spillway (unpaved) by Saturday.
We're in uncharted territory here as that spillway has never been used.
Place your bets: Will they allow emergency spillway to take the water or will they open up the regular spillway 100%?
My bet is they will sacrifice the regular spillway.
Pretty wild situation.
The spillway isn't the dam itself -- it's just a path for water to flow down. Is there any actual risk to using the regular spillway, other than the need for concrete repairs after the lake is drained?
Do you think they'd say 'we screwed the pooch', even if did?
They say no. They say it's just the spill way and not the dam, but look at his picture.
I'll admit I'm not a dam engineer, but high energy water erodes really quickly through soft-ground.
Frankly, I'd be more concerned about the top break, here's the closeup.
What happens when that spillway is gone from the top break to the bottom of the spillway and basically carved out like a flat wall?
I didn't see pics of the top break. If I lived downriver from that thing, I'd be considering taking a vacation for a week or two.
What happens when that spillway is gone from the top break to the bottom of the spillway and basically carved out like a flat wall?
Yeah, I'm pretty concerned that all of the hill downstream could erode away, then the erosion slowly works it way upstream.
As that happened more and more, less hillside would buttress the main earth dam and well you know what could happen when the weight of the water behind the dam overrules the buttress.
Still unlikely I would think, but if it keeps raining...
Do you think they'd say 'we screwed the pooch', even if did?
Probably not right away, but there would be a time when they would start evacuating folks. That happened in the 1980s. As I recall, the levee broke at night in the Marysville suburb of Linda.
The most common story I heard about the 1950s levee breach in Marysville proper was that everyone thought the levee was going to break in Yuba City (the two cities are on opposite sides of the river). Car dealers moved their new cars from YC to Marysville. Everyone evacuated YC. Then the levee broke in Marysville. Oy.
It is quite a sight to see when the water rises so high it is at the crest of the levee on both sides of the river. Gives me goosebumps. I go fill my gas tank.
Yea, so much depends on the nature and structure of the bedrock anchoring the dam.
Water though is currently flowing into the reservoir at 130,000 CFS, the spillway is currently taking roughly 75,000 CFS out and the dam is basically full.
The dam is 700+ feet high and granted, it isn't vertical, more like a 45 degree slope and it is water, but with erosion each CFS basically becomes a 8 lb piece of liquid sandpaper.
That's a lot of sandpaper...

Car dealers moved their new cars from YC to Marysville. Everyone evacuated YC. Then the levee broke in Marysville. Oy.
I have it backwards - everyone evacuated ppl/cars to YC from Marysville in 1955...then the levee broke in YC. I should have remembered that, I've been in homes where the 1955 water line is still visible in closets in homes in YC. At the top of the closet.
Great analysis here...
from the looks of the bedrock shown, looks like we are far from disaster.

Probably far from disaster. It looks like the main spill way has about 20 feet of decomposed granite between the manmade concrete chute and the bedrock. Unless at some point the concrete is laying on bedrock directly there is nothing to stop it from eroding all the way to the top. If the operators had to shut the spillway gates could the emergency spill way hold up? Just some questions.
I suspect we will find out it's currently going over the emergency spillway still slow. Looks like it's doing a pretty good job of removing the overburden from the bedrock.
The water levels have, surprise, messed up their water release plans. They've slowed the main spillway and had to shutdown an auxiliary generator that took another 12000 CFS because the concrete broken out of the spillway is backing water up.
Good news its becoming sunny. For three days. Then the longer range forecast says basically 6 straight days of rain in Oroville and up land from the lake.
Oroville being evacuated:
Right, and 45's last tweet is whinging about fake news. No word about an actual situation that can potentially kill thousands.
A lot more than Oroville is being evacuated:
" The Yuba County Office of Emergency Services asked residents in the valley floor, including Marysville, a city of 12,000 people, to evacuate and take routes to the east, south, or west and avoid traveling north toward Oroville."
"OROVILLE, Butte County — Butte County residents near Lake Oroville, including the entire town of Oroville and nearby regions, were ordered to evacuate Sunday evening after the emergency spillway next to the reservoir's dam suffered a possible structural failure, officials said.
Residents downstream from Lake Oroville to the Sutter County line were under mandatory evacuation order. Counties around the reservoir, the second largest in the state, down to Sacramento were warned about the possibility of flooding.
Department of Water Resources officials issued a statement just before 4:45 p.m. that the "auxiliary spillway at the dam was predicted to fail within the hour."
"Traffic was bumper to bumper as residents of Oroville, Biggs and Gridley headed slowly out of the possible flood zone eastbound on Highway 162.
This is serious shit. Luckily the dam proper is not threatened, but still plenty of damage possible from collapse of the emergency spillway...
Here is a link to the best video image of what was going on at the emergency spillway. http://www.cnn.com/2017/02/12/us/califor... Flows there have receded now ,but by putting the damaged main spillway back on higher flows.
I wonder if there are pumps that could be brought onsite that can even begin to help move this amount of water? I pretty much doubt it. I guess they want to get it down 50 feet in case of new storm flow. Hope they can, and that it's enough.
The water will flow downhill, so pumps aren't really needed.

A man surprised his nurse girlfriend with a very memorable proposal when he was rushed to a hospital with a "peanut allergy" and fell off the stretcher onto one knee to propose. Thomas Ciancia works as an emergency room nurse with girlfriend Lauren Trulli in Long Branch, New Jersey. He concocted a plan with his coworkers at the hospital he and his girlfriend worked at to get rushed to the ER with a fake peanut allergy. "We're both Emergency Department nurses and this is where we met," Thomas said after sharing the video. 'I set it up with our charge nurse and Elboron Ambulance to have Lauren meet a critical patient in the ambulance bay. 'When she saw it was me her heart dropped and she went into ER mode and quickly went inside to get IV's set up. She then went to assist me out of the stretcher and that's when I proposed," he said. "I wanted to pick a place to do this and this was the place I fell in love with you," he said while on one knee. She immediately burst into tears and said, "yes" to loud applause from their colleagues.

text: I recently received a supercard dstwo from the affiliated shop and am currently very please with both the card, and the shop I got it from. I have one problem though. While all of the games have worked perfectly so far Advance Wars Dual Strike while working causes the DS to play up in sleep mode. If I shut the lid both screens flash white over and over in sucession. Also the battery slight flicks on and off at the same tempo while the speakers emit a sound of slight static sound at each flash. The tempo is around 2-3 beats per second. This continues until you open the DS again, at which point everything is perfect as if nothing happened. This is on a DS Lite and I only have it to test on so I don't know if it effects others. Thanking everyone for their help and if it'll help I'd also appreciate finding somewhere to find a bugreport if need be.

A gang of cannibals, which might be involved in the killing of 30 people, was identified in the city of Krasnodar.
The spouses have been eating people since 1999. They confessed murdering of 30 victims. Seven episodes of cannibalism were proven.
According to the suspects, they were making preserved food of the bodies of their victims. In their house the police found 19 pieces of skin, which they removed from the dead, and 7 packages with frozen remains in the refrigerator. The detainees themselves identified as many as 30 people they killed. All remains will be subjected to further genetic examination.
All materials were transferred to the management of the Investigative Committee for the Krasnodar Region. The department confirmed the beginning of the investigation.
One of the spouses was detained after the remains of a woman were found in the territory of the Krasnodar military school. A package and a bucket with body parts were discovered in a utility room, as well as a bag with personal belongings. A 35-year-old man worked in the school and lived in its dormitory.
The suspect was detained on September 18th after a phone with suspicious images was found on a street. They images were selfies of a man posing with body parts of a dismembered woman. At fist, the detainee did not plead guilty. He said that he accidentally found the remains of the body, made a few selfies with them, and then lost the phone.

CDART is dedicated to animal welfare through the preparation for and the actual rescue and shelter of domestic animals in a disaster.
If necessary, different chapters are called upon for mobile support to bring in people from other regions to help out.
McConnell, who recently moved from the Key City to Prince Edward Island, returned to BC Sunday night.
He says so far they have collected over 60 animals including horses, goats, chickens, dogs and cats.
McConnell agrees we often don't think about animals in situations like this but to those fleeing their homes these are members of their family.
He uses the example if someone has a small hobby farm with a few horses or a cow but they don't have a trailer to transport them.
McConnell says that's where they come in.
A 2,000 hectare wildfire is burning north of Princeton.
Meanwhile over 14,000 British Columbians are currently displaced due to wildfires across the province.
McConnell says conditions got a bit "hairy" Monday as strong winds flamed the blaze and pushed it closer to the community.
He credits an incredible team made up of other CDART members, and volunteers who have simply come off the street.
He adds two more Cranbrook residents are on their way to the area to help with efforts.

A Split Second
Posted by Sandra L Donalds on Sunday, November 3, 2013
Under: Life
Life can change in a split second! I found that out on June 8th of this year. My husband had a major stroke and I was fortunate enough to call 911 immediately and he was taken to Grant Hospital and then Life Flighted to Riverside Hospital for a procedure to retrieve the life threatening blood clot! He is a miracle because he is alive and walking and talking but experiencing some memory issues. I have been running a little behind on some things, but things are beginning to smooth out somewhat. We all experience bumps in the road of life, but we must remain positive to move forward and make the best of every day!

Supervisors lament E-911 funding problem
The Legislature once again may talk about a decade-old funding problem that has plagued one of the most essential emergency services provided by counties. But at least one state senator doesn't see state lawmakers providing any relief.
A generation ago, the state set up a funding system for local E-911 services that relied on fees for landbased telephone lines and cell phones. The system worked well as long as everyone had a land line.
But those are a dying breed, replaced largely by cell phones. The problem is the monthly fee consumers pay for cell phones is $1, half the $2 fee for a land line. And part of that cell phone fee is set aside in a fund to be tapped by cell phone companies to erect towers and expand services.
As cell phones have exploded, many local E-911 agencies have had to rely increasingly on supplemental funding from local governments to pay dispatchers, keep equipment updated and provide other services.
The Clay County Board of Supervisors allocated $200,000 in the current budget for E-911. Thursday, supervisors approved transferring $150,000 now to meet current needs.
The state fees generate about half the Clay County E-911's $430,000 annual budget, Clay County E-911 Coordinator Treva Hodge said.
The transfer prompted a long exchange about the problem, its roots, and whether relief might be on the way.
"I don't think it's close to getting resolved," state Sen. Angela Turner-Ford said when asked by supervisors if she sees any movement. Hodge attended a Senate committee meeting two months ago where the fee was the center of discussion.
"We have a lot of counties that don't have enough money and it has been getting worse for years," Hodge told supervisors. Lowndes, Oktibbeha and most other counties in Northeast Mississippi supplement E-911 funding.
"There's one senator who says it's not as bad as counties are making it out to be," she added. "The counties are getting sold out. We are the ones who are having to fund the shortfalls. We are having to raise taxes to pay for what is one of the most essential services we provide. And the Legislature won't bite the bullet and add a little to the fee or release any of the money being held for the cell phone providers," added Supervisor Shelton Deanes.
"They aren't clueless about the problem," Hodge continued about state lawmakers. "Are they listening? I don't know."
To illustrate the value of E-911 services, Supervisor Luke Lummus noted county dispatchers handled 2,569 calls in December and 27,606 for the year. And more than half of those were for the West Point Police and Fire departments, which use their own dispatchers part of the time. The other major user, the Sheriff's Department, was responsible for more than 8,100 calls last year.
"You can say what you want to, but these folks do a heck of a job. Some people may complain but wait until they need 911. They won't be complaining then," he said.
Hodge also said AT&T, which handles the overall 911 service for the state, is working on a problem that occurs in Clay and some other counties where 911 calls are routed to Marshall County as the "default" response for a call when the system can't determine where the call originated.
"It is a problem in the AT&T system and it happens occasionally. If you know of a case, we need the address and phone number and AT&T will work on it," she explained.
As for cell phone calls to 911 that end up to neighboring counties, that's an issue that is going to continue until the "technology advances," she said.
Calls along county borders may be made in Clay County but be relayed off a tower in Lowndes County so the call is routed to Lowndes County or vice versa.
"We get calls on Highway 82 a lot," Hodge said. "Up along the border, our calls go to Monroe County sometimes and we get theirs. It happens all over the state. It's based on the tower where the call goes through."
In other business, supervisors:
-- Authorized paying half the $3,300 fee for Code Red emergency alert service. West Point pays the other half. The service, which is coordinated through Golden Triangle Planning and Development District, allows residents to sign up for emergency texts, e-mails or other notifications in case of severe weather or other emergencies. In addition to weather alerts, the county's 911 system and emergency management can send out alerts for everything from boil water notices to missing persons or chemical spills in as large or as small an area as necessary.

Sony Ericsson has hinted that it could launch a "PS3" app similar to that found on the Sony Ericsson Aino handset launched earlier in the year for the Android OS, when the company's new Xperia X10 handset launches in February.
"It makes a lot of sense for it to be on other handsets", said Christopher David, head of developer and partner engagement at Sony Ericsson, before backing up that statement with an "it should be expected".
It is not certain at this time whether an app, if developed, would be restricted to the X10 and Nexus UX platform or be available to all Android handsets, but could mean that phone users opting for devices sporting the Google Android OS could access their PlayStation 3 and stream content to their phone from around the world, in a similar way to the Sony Ericsson phone or the PSP console.
The phone, which packs the same DLNA and wireless connectivity as the Aino, before building on the specs with a Qualcomm Snapdragon chipset and 4-inch screen, would be a perfect hardware device for such an app, something that David acknowledges.
"For it to work you would need wireless and DLNA connectivity," said David, after we tried to lure more than an "it's possible" answer from the man, when asked to engage in the new Sony Ericsson Nexus UX platform for the X10.
As for other apps to expect in the future? David was keeping quiet, however we did get a chuckle and acknowledgement of a "good question asked" as to whether Sony Ericsson's Play Now store, that allows users to download movies and music, would get an Android app of its own.
"You never know", was the official response with a wry smile.

Through the ages of time people have always understood the importance of having art in their life. From statues standing in town square to more personal works hanging in their home, art is a key factor in society. Not only is art a great way to record the past but, it also can add that personal human touch to any room of the house. Easily turning the empty spots above fireplaces and walls into a focus point of conversation, while sharing your home with friends and family. Whether it's a painting of old or a new masterpiece, the styles and choices of what fits you and your desired environment are endless. Already have that piece your just absolutely in love with or has been in the family for years? Why not design a room around the art and incorporate everything you like about it into a actual living space. Now the next time you feel like something is missing you will know what, art.
2018 Color of the year!
Wow! Purple! Who's in? Not sure many people will run out and paint their living rooms indigo, but maybe you can find a place for this fun color somewhere special!
Get your shine on!
If you're anything like me you take pride and get enjoyment from decorating your home until it has a sense of balance and perfection. Not to mention the time spent picking out the perfect window treatments and furniture that represents your style while still reaming functional. That's why it is very important to think about a room and its entirety and not forget one of the most important elements, lighting. With the addition of that elegant chandelier casting soft light over your dinner table or that perfect lamp accenting your décor you can easy illuminate the true value of any space. Also, with the increasing popularity of the open floor plan a well sculpted light can not only complement a space but help define one room from the other. Remembering to keep in mind the three basic guidelines of adding light to any room of your house; function, mood, and harmony. Always keeping in mind what you want but also require out of your next interior design project.
Got the blues???
Blue is everywhere these days. Not the light, airy blue of the past few years (seems like decades!), but a darker, richer tone. Take a look and get inspired!
There is nothing like the real thing.
Let's face it, Pleather will never be leather and that designer couch will always make a statement of its own. A name guarantees that silky blue Casamidy chair will look as good as the day you bought it. From the stitching to quality of the fabric and even the frame all working together to say, no I'm not cheap but, I'm completely worth it. Carrying this idea over to the kitchen where top end appliances deserve only those marbles and granites that stand untouched. Bringing us to the important reality that the designs and textures we surround our self with greatly influences our daily life and nothing makes a stronger influence than authenticity. So why settle for imitations where you live, when you would never settle for anything less than luxury in your car. After all, when you hire DOTI one thing becomes clear; life really is too short to be surrounded by ugly things.
Calm background and BOLD patterns.
For a lot of us the New Year means new beginnings in our life. A time we look around at the surroundings and change the old into new. Making it the perfect time of year to keep the calm structure we came from and add some new bold patterns. Now most of us shy away from the idea of introducing strong design into our home. After all, the last thing we want to do is take an ok room and turn it into a chaotic mess that's even harder to live with. Yet, if used correctly the power of bold can be exactly what you need in 2013. Through the use of expressive fabrics and increasing popular wallpaper a room can gain a focal point and increase in positive energy. Even in a small space like a bathroom by adding a touch of bold you can soften the cold tile and marble. Still worried the refurbished room will be too much? It's simple, just start small. Start by adding some talkative pillows, drapes or rugs. Just remember these few key concepts and this year will finally be the year you have a temple you're proud of!
1) All about balance. Fancy wallpaper evened out by a simple lamp.
2) Small rooms only need a small amount. Don't bold yourself in.
3) It's ok to mix patterns just make sure the scale between the design is different and they share a color.
4) Avoid the feeling of chaos.
5) Just because you're nervous, don't let that stop you.
A space to inspire
Inspiration for the world's most important aspirations have all started in a single place. That perfect room that brought relevance to imagination giving the creator a place to dream. So no matter how old or young the designer is, the goal can live inside their heart and around their home. A room, after all, should be a reflection of one's self. A little girl dreams of the rainbow in shades of pink wanting to feel like a Barbie princess. The boy, on the other hand, wants to race through this world in cars and trucks! Father has an office that stands strong and authoritative like the Italian suit he wears. Mother enjoys bringing the outdoors in, and fills the bedroom with designs that match her Candela spring dress. All brought together, in a kitchen that creates those artisan meals just perfect to share with the family and talk about life. After all, a space should inspire and tell the extraordinary story of who we are.
Radiant, sophisticated and lively
Pantone's 2013 color is no other than the radiant but lively, Emerald. This versatile color is the perfect shade for those looking to transition from the blues of winter into the celebration of summer. With Pantone's choice to pick an emerald with just a hint of blue most of those older colors seem to complement it well. Rather it's your purple accented dining room or your husband's favorite chocolate brown chair, this modern flare will only add to enrich the space. By updating your current drab fixtures with Hillary Thomas lamp finials or looking to redo a room around a prized Waterford Crystal Emerald Bowl this hue demands luxury in any setting. That's why even if this is not the mood you want for your home the notable beauty of emerald has been found walking the runways and making appearances at dinner parties. Providing just enough personality and harmony with the trust of being a timeless favorite isn't about time you went green?
Queens, kings and feeling home
Prada and Louis Vuitton have already released their 2013 spring collection and one thing is still very clear as it has been for many years. Quality that is beautiful still remains the desired factor in any design. According to 400 members of Elle Décor's Designer Registry, 68% agree that strong threads are the backbone to any room's dynasty. After all, who doesn't deserve a little royalty that matches this year's best? Corresponding power with the patterns of innocence that proves you have earned the strength of being where you are today. Bringing the 1960s into focus with the modern desire for clean and perfect, adding a touch of love back into the castle. From timelessly bright colors to generational flower designs that refuse to be forgotten and are descended to remain edgy and grow into sheik. Making this year's runway nobility a spokesperson for interior design that tells guest this home is truly mine. So take your seat at the head of the table and join the perfection of DOTI design.
Scarves and drapes.
Standing there clothed from head to toe in the latest fall collection, you find yourself wondering what is missing. A slight chill passes over your neck and the answer is clear, you forgot a scarf. Placing your cashmere scarf around your neck, there's this sense of warmth and completion added to your mood. Not only is your outfit well accented, but you're more comfortable. Now ask yourself, shouldn't your home feel the same way? A sanctuary in which you can enjoy all the beauty and elegance in the world surrounded by the hue of the drapes just like the scarf warmly, hugging your neck. Portraying that luxurious and custom feel that you enjoy from your favorite shawl and giving it back into your home. Transforming the almost perfect room into an extension of oneself that lets everyone know your home represents you. So no matter, the gorgeous frame, the finest fabrics find themselves around windows and self. There's no reason both can't be exquisite!

Usage of Sound in Wim Wenders' Wings of Desire
Wenders has been a part of the New German Cinema. Prior to cinema, he was a professional photographer which probably explains his extreme attention to framing. If one has to categorise Wender's movies broadly, we can probably say that his movies are generally about hope, reflection, vision and desire. Poignancy abounds in his movies, but the influence of rock and roll cannot be discounted. Wenders may have quoted to preferring sax and violins over sex and violence, but his rock and roll roots cannot be ignored. Rock and roll tends to play a major role in almost all his movies, and in fact, the director has had a long association with U2, having directed music videos for them over a span of almost two decades.
While watching Wings of Desire, one couldn't help comparing it to other works by Wenders, especially Faraway So Close and Until The End Of The World. On a simplistic level, the film is a straightforward narrative bereft of too many complexities. Set in Berlin in the late 80s, the film showcases two angels as they hover over the city. Most of the film is shot in the angels' perspective, with them observing the lives and travails of ordinary mortals. In that sense, angels are not dramatic saviors here; they are not the agents of magic and miraculous action. They are active, but in a non-participatory manner as they seep in all they hear from the intermingling lives of Berliners. One of the angels Damiel falls in love with a trapeze artiste and yearns for mortality. In a beautifully etched intermingling of spirituality and mortality, of divine and real, Damiel shrugs off his divinity and wears the mortal cloak. The rest of the film takes us through his journey into the mortal world as a physical entity, which he was, until then, not.
This, of course, is the plot on a very simplistic level. Delve further and you'd find an epic an epic of love, desire, history, war, mortality and spirituality. The film is a story of struggle and conflict not just the struggles of man with society or man with man, but most of all, man with himself. The cheekily named character Homer, who, unlike the war poet, searches for peace, appears as the story teller who roams the Berlin walls. That the movie is based in Berlin revolves around a number of factors. The movie was Wenders' comeback to Germany after spending 10 years in the US. Filmed in 1986, the film not only reflected the political situation at that time, but also used the Berlin wall as a symbol for the wall that divides real and unreal, or spiritual and material.
With a poetic and literary script and powerful visuals that switch from monochrome to colour in order to bring out the difference between surreal and real. Through the angels' eyes, we are constantly offered a third person's view. It's almost like the objectification of the viewer - we, as bystanders, eavesdropping on others' thoughts and emotions, as they get mixed with our own.
It's quite interesting to analyse the movie's sound. Firstly, it's not possible to segregate the sound from the visual, and the audiovisual from the various interpretations that it offers. To analyse sound, we need to also analyse the entire movie, per se.
The film begins with a voiceover that recites The Song Of Childhood. The voiceover is rhythmic, poetic, almost languid. It sets the tone for the poetic spiritualistic journey we are prepared to embark upon. A majority of the movie has been shot in monochrome, which shows us the angels' perspective, the angels' view, so to say. The beautiful bit here is that each angel is an observer who takes in each and every emotion he sees or hears. Each mortal individual may have a thousand thoughts going on in one's head at the same time, and these voices in one's head are what get transmitted to the angels. It's...
