Calling all Watchmen fans and aspiring auteurs: Here's your chance to go down in comic book history.
Zack Snyder, director of the upcoming movie adaptation of the wildly popular comic, is inviting you to create a advertisement for a fake product — if it's good enough, it could make its way into the movie.
Contenders just need to shoot their videos and upload 'em; YouTubers will vote on the submissions to narrow down the pool.
As many as 20 home-brew commercials could appear in the feature film, earning each creator a thousand dollars. Watch the clip (right) for a personal call for entries from Synder.
Watchmen is slated to hit theaters March 6, 2009.

Embed video in email to increase CTR
We often get questions about how to embed video in email, or if it's possible. The answer is yes! We think it's really worthwhile for increasing click-through rates (CTR) and is an effective email marketing tool.
Is it worth it?
Embedding video in your emails can reinvigorate your content. It's an alternative to standard, static images. Are you sharing a story with your subscribers that would be enhanced with video footage? (From your most recent company event? Or the play by play of a recipe gone right or wrong?) As long as it's well-edited and relevant, consider adding a video to your next email newsletter.
Rather, try a .jpg image of the video linked to the URL of the hosted video. It will inbox successfully across email clients.
Embed video in email to spark engagement
The top benefit of using video in email marketing — according to U.S. marketing executives polled in February 2013 by The Relevancy Group — is increased click-through rates. An overwhelming 55% of marketing executives said increased click-throughs was a benefit.
Engagement is always a priority when it comes to your email newsletters. This means almost all customers ask, in one way or another, "How can I get more people to open my email and click on my links?" If you're still looking for ways to keep it fresh for your readers, embedded video is one to add to your list.
Wrap it up
We all know pictures are invaluable for your email newsletters. They engage and tell. Take it a step further by including videos within your newsletter content, and monitor your click-through rate to see if you experience an increase. Just remember: pictures and videos are great, but make sure your content is engaging, too. Happy readers make for higher engagement!

When I was up in Scotland about three weeks back I was out on the scout for some good early morning ash tree pictures and stepped down to the water's edge of the Dundonnell River and was completely sidetracked by the ice pattern lying over the flowing river beneath. It's a little after the event but I was so blown away by the pictures I found I thought you'd like to see some of them. A bit like cloudscapes I do love the way these images are transient and irrepeatable. It would have been amazing to watch them forming overnight.

The newest addition to our family is Lock, from the recent Kevlar and Rumor breeding. Lock is doing great, we've all had an exciting first few weeks :-)
I'm writing to get some details/opinion on raw foods for GSDs. I have scoured your blog here, as well as Google, but I haven't gotten enough info to make a decision yet. The biggest thing I'm wondering currently is how you feel about raw food mixed in with kibble? (we have continued to use Taste of the Wild). I'm very conflicted because I do not want to feed him kibble only since it isn't natural, but I don't feel like I have even close to enough knowledge to do a pure raw diet. The problem is, I've lately been reading online that due to how rapidly dogs can digest raw food, mixing in the slow to digest kibble is bad?
Any input you have will be greatly appreciated, I want to do whatever is best for him.
On another note, I absolutely love your blog, and want to thank you for putting all of your wisdom out there for all of us. While waiting for Lock to be old enough to come home with us I read back years of your blog. Thanks again.

Pete was laid off from a position he had been in for 15 years. The good news was he had an interview next week and just needed a little advice on interviewing. We scheduled him in and put him through a mock interview.
At the end of the mock interview we asked him what he was making at his last job. He said, "I'm so glad you asked that because I want to know how to handle that question."
How to "handle it?" We told him to just answer the question – tell them what your base and bonus were at your last job. He was adamant, "I have no problems telling you, but I'm not going to tell them. Not before I know what the range is."
This conjured up a picture in our heads of him sitting across from the interviewer holding playing cards and saying, "Go Fish!".
We explained to Pete this is not a game you can win with the strategy of – show me yours then I'll show you mine. Revealing your salary doesn't change what the range is and doesn't give you less bargaining power. Then he argued, "If I don't know what the range is they can offer me a salary below it." Not likely. Companies go to great lengths to establish competitive salary ranges, often hiring consulting firms who research the marketplace and then design a compensation structure for them. A company wouldn't make a salary offer below the range because it would throw off parity within the organization and marketplace.
Pete countered with, "But if I don't know the top of the range, then I'm selling myself short – leaving money on the table". Possibly, however, companies typically don't offer the top of the range because they like to leave room for future raises. We told Pete if it made him feel more comfortable, that after disclosing his salary, he could ask what the range is, understanding that they are under no obligation to tell him. Pete felt at a real disadvantage.
We reminded him that what a company offers is not necessarily their last offer and that there may be room to negotiate. And it's always easier to negotiate when you have established that you are upfront and easy to work with. During the initial interview is not the time to negotiate salary. If after mentioning your salary no discussion about it emerges, you can assume you're in the range.
Pete was still not convinced. We were clear – companies expect you to tell them what your salary was and being hesitant about that may raise a red flag. It may indicate to them that you will be difficult to work with or that you don't have the self confidence to negotiate. Or worse, that you believe people are trying to take advantage of you.
So, what did Pete do? During the interview he elected not to answer the salary question. He received a follow-up call from human resources about this and he explained his rationale for not telling them. The HR person said, "I'm sorry you feel this way. We'll be in touch." Pete knew he had blown it. When he called to tell us this, he said "Lesson learned." Unfortunately, especially in this marketplace, it was an expensive lesson. If companies have to struggle to get information from you, they may not bother.

Beginning next month the city of Oak Forest, IL will assert its right to appropriate your vehicle. Those accused of a number of crimes, including vandalism, shoplifting, armed robbery on down to forgetting one's driver's license will have their cars seized until a $500 bond can be posted. If the city-extorted cash isn't produced within sixty days, the municipality sells the car and pockets the profit. If the accused is found not guilty, the city is supposed to return the cash.
This pushes our blood beyond simmer and onto full boil. Not only does it go against one of the pillars of American society — that one is innocent until proven guilty — but it's also an attack on personal property, as well as especially predatory upon the poor. Guy ends up in the wrong place at the wrong time, has his car confiscated, can't get to work, loses his job and turns to crime to make ends meet. That's the liberal spin. The conservative spin? If he were a law-abiding, productive citizen, he'd have 500 bucks to spare, and he shouldn't have been wherever he was in the first place. Whichever side one takes, however, confiscation of one's vehicle for something unrelated to that vehicle being used in an unlawful fashion smacks both of totalitarianism and municipal greed. Oak Forest, you're not getting our tourist dollars. Much like Jake and Elwood, we hate Illinois Nazis.

Go after what you love,
It's all worth it in the end,
Face your fears,
The greatest fear is your fear,
So they said.
I went after what I loved,
Pursued it to the world ends,
Sacrificed my life,
Gave it to my love,
Pursue your love they said.
Almost caught up,
But she wasn't in the mood,
I had to procrastinate my love,
Shelve it for another day,
All in pursuit of love.
I finally caught up,
She in the right frame of mind,
Ready to kick things off,
Make us a thing,
Pronounce our love to the world.
I loved her,
So I let her go,
Because love isn't a science,
There's no perfect time,
Love waits for no man.

|Kaukau variety Beerwah Gold
As our population continues to grow at 2.3% per annum, there will be demands for increasing food production to ensure food security.
The main staple foods and their annual production are sweet potato or kaukau (2.9 million) banana (700,000), yam (300,000), taro (350,000) and cassava (80,000) tonnes respectively.
Globally, more than 133 million tonnes of sweet potato is produced annually, and it is the seventh most-important crop after wheat, rice, maize, potato, barley and cassava.
In PNG, it is the most important crop both in terms of production as well consumption.
The top producing provinces are Southern Highlands (620,000), Eastern Highlands (470,000), Western Highlands (425,000), Enga (340,000) and Chimbu (294,000) tonnes respectively.
Smaller volumes are produced in Morobe (195,000), East Sepik, Bougainville and other places.
As a staple food, it provides about 64% of the energy needs for people.
At the current population of 6.5 million, per capita consumption is about 2.2 kg/person/year.
Its production is predominantly semi-subsistence.
Almost all of the sweetpotato is consumed at home as food, while a small amount is used for pig feed.
An increasing amount is being sold locally and or traded in distant markets of Lae, Port Moresby, Rabaul, and some mine sites.
Sweet potato has become a cash crop in PNG in recent years.
One major factor that has contributed to this trend is the rapid increase in urbanisation and population in major towns and cities.
Also, by value to weight, sweet potato is relatively cheaper and is affordable by low-income earners and families compared to imports like rice.
The farm-gate value of the sweetpotato industry in PNG is unknown.
By comparison, although Australia's annual production is only 34,000 tonnes, their industry is worth A$40 million.
During transportation to markets, huge post-harvest losses occur because of improper handling, packaging, rotting and bruises.
The crop has high moisture, and is voluminous, and often fetches low market prices. Some studies have shown that, about 30% of the crop is already rotten on arrival in Port Moresby.
In monetary terms, this is K30 lost for every K100 that was supposed to be earned by the farmer.
There is no processing of the crop in PNG, unlike in China, where 10% of it is processed into foods like chips, crisps, snacks, bakes, breakfast food, candy and canned roots.
As livestock feed, it is fermented and reconstituted with either fish, copra or soybean meals for poultry and pigs.
Industrially, it is processed into starch, ethanol, bio-fuel, pigments, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, plastics and modified starches.
In the 1990s, the food processing and preservation unit at University of Technology in Lae did some product development work looking at flour, fries, chips, crisps, composite flour bread and other foods.
|Kaukau flour
At around the same time, National Agriculture Research Institute (NARI) scientists working on the Pacific regional agricultural programme in Keravat, East New Britain did similar work on lowland varieties.
Currently at the University of Queensland in Australia, a major research project is looking at the processing and utilisation options of PNG sweet potato.
Of the 25 varieties studied, the research has generated information on the flour-yielding ability, nutritional content (minerals, protein), starch pasting and gelatinisation properties, as well as determining starch granule morphology and particle sizes, all of which are very important traits required to optimise processing and utilisation options of the crop.
The study has also addressed the issue of identifying suitable varieties for end-use qualities by determining the starch, amylose and sugar contents.
This is critical to recommend suitable varieties for different products.
Food is the cause of many lifestyle diseases in the world like diabetes, obesity and hipolipdermia, and PNG is no exception.
This study using an in-vitro (test tube) technique has also found some beneficial starch fractions called resistant starches (RS) in the PNG sweet potato varieties.
The RS basically escapes digestion in the small intestine and is beneficial to human health because it do not increase the level of blood sugar leading to some of the diseases mentioned above.
The sweet potato varieties with very high RS fractions were L3 and L135, and these varieties are available in NARI.
Another exciting component of the research is on extrusion processing, using sweet potato flour to make snack foods from white and orange fleshed sweet potato varieties.
The results are promising and have the potential to be introduced in PNG, especially for small to medium scale cottage industries which may be interested to make snack foods from sweet potato.
The same technology can be used to process other foods like potato, taro, cassava, banana and sago.
A lot has been said about agriculture as being the backbone of PNG.
In 2005, the PNG Government put in place the green revolution and export-driven economic recovery strategy.
For the agriculture sector, this strategy was aimed at improving production and creating market demands for our crops to meet the growing domestic demands and also to seek export market opportunities.
However, to date, no substantial investments through possible avenues such as the public investment programme (PIP) or the national agriculture development plan (NADP) have been made to boost production, as well as to develop and upscale processing technologies to realise the full potential and contribution of the sector to PNG economy.
Downstream processing and value addition has the potential to benefit en masse, raise the economic value, and create market demand for local crops.

History of One Street
The ensemble of Bohomoltsia Street was built in 1904-1908 by Ivan Levynskyy's architectural and construction bureau and is a great example of Secession in Lviv. This small and cozy street that was designed for the city's middle class witnessed the turbulence of the 20th century and can be used as a case study for tracking down Lviv's past.
The project "Lviv in the 20th Century: The History of One Street" was one of the first oral history studies implemented by the Center for Urban History. It was initially entitled "The Oral History of Bohomoltsia Street" and aimed to document the stories of the street's current residents – their experience of settling in, living conditions, awareness of the history of their building/ street/ district, communication with other parts of the city. The conversations revolved around their everyday life, their contacts with the neighbors, and the degree to which their daily routines were linked to their building/ street/ district. In this context, the experience of each individual resident is an important piece of a broader historical picture as the interviewees talked about resettlement, turbulent postwar times, and interethnic relationships. These individual stories give buildings and streets a human face and attribute a more personal meaning to remote historical notions and hard statistical data.
The development of methodology and fieldwork within the frame of this research project was implemented by Halyna Bodnar. Alina Zhurbenko has prepared these materials for their presentation on the web.
Interview with the man, who moved to Lviv as a child and had changed his place of residence several times before getting settled on Bohomoltsia Street.
Two narrators describe the exterior of their house, the decorative appearance of the street (both in Soviet times and nowadays) and its modern problems.

Cavapoo FAQ
What is a Cavapoo? It is a mix breed of the purebred Cavalier King Charles Spaniel and a Miniature Poodle.
Do cavapoos Shed? Usually NO. I've never had any reports of an F1 cavapoo shedding. Other than when they go thru a transition from their puppy coat to their adult coat. F1b's are super curly and do not shed.
Do Cavapoos bark a lot or act agressive? Cavapoos don't usually bark very much. They alert you when you have a visitor. Ive never known a cavapoo to be agressive. They are very tender hearted dogs that aim to please you. These might look like a cockapoo but are much more mild mannered and less barky! Although I have met some sweet cockapoos, I've also groomed some pretty mean and barky ones! Of course, the wrong up bringing can change a dog over time and make them bitter so I'm not sure it was the dog's fault :-/.
What does F1, F1b etc mean? F1 is the first cross of the Cavalier and the poodle. F1b is the cross bred back to a poodle (75% poodle). A cavapoo bred to a cavapoo is still called a cavapoo. :-)
How big are Cavapoos? About the size of a small cocker spaniel, cavalier or miniature schnauzer. Most of our cavapoos are from Miniature poodles which are different from the toy poodles. Cavaliers range from 10-20lb and mini poodles about the same. Depending on parent sizes of course.
What coat types are there? The F1 Cavapoo is a wavy to big curl coat. It is very soft and fluffy. The F1b Cavapoo is very curly and also soft and fluffy. We specialize in red and red and white.
Why is my pup shedding? Some pups will "blow" their puppy coats. It can be caused by change of season, vaccinations, anesthesia, poor diet or stress. But it will shed off until their adult coat comes back in. We suggest nuvet vitamins to help block the free radicals that can cause hairloss and hot spots.
What are cavapoo health concerns? They are similar to the poodle and the cavalier's breed faults. We try to breed these out. The Cavalier is prone to heart problems, eye disease and loose knees. The miniature poodle is prone to eye diseases and seizures. The mix of the two breeds is thought to increase the health thru hybrid vigor. We do test our dogs hearts and knees. We are starting PRA eye testing. Cavapoos are generally very healthy dogs. Underbites can be common in any cavalier mix puppy and are not considered a health problem.
How long does it take to house train a cavapoo? We recommend crate training only during the training phase. Depending on your devotion and time available to spend with your dog, you can usually expect training to take one to three months with 75% rate. They are smart dogs but can be a challenge at first and would rather play than pay attention. The good thing is that Cavapoos are people pleasers! So when they learn what makes you happy is what they want to do. If you are having trouble, please dont' hesitate to ask for help from us or a professional trainer.
What is OFA? OFA is the Orthopedic Foundation for Animals. They are a database for all the canine health testing. Veterinarians will do the required testing and paperwork so that we can "Certify" the dog as clear for these specific faults. After the results come back normal, OFA will send us a certificate on that dog. Like for the hips, our vet will xray the dog under sedation and then send the xrays and paperwork off to OFA who then has a panel of Vets judge the xrays and give them a score. Then they will mail the breeder the certificate for hip displaysia-- if it passed. You can test for just about anything. But the most common diseases are what we test for. In the miniatures and petites we test their hearts and their patellas. In the dogs over 50lb we do hip xrays to rule out hip displaysia. We will also be doing PRA testing for eye disorders.
Are Cavapoos good with kids and other pets? The answer is undoubtedly, YES! These little clowns LOVE human interaction and also adore the company of children, including other animals. Of course, some kids can ruin it for others, as well as some grouchy old cats ;-). If you or your children like to play rough, this will encourage rough-housing and we don't recommend to get that started. Chewing can be an issue during teething so don't let the pup chew on your hands/fingers. To discourage this use lemon juice on children's hands.
Are Cavapoos AKC registered? No. Most all of our parent purebred dogs are AKC registered but when you have a designer mix litter, you can't register them with AKC. I hope in my lifetime this will happen and AKC will recognize them as a breed all their own! Currently we use a registry service by CPR (Certified Pet Registry) who has copies of the parents AKC papers and will provide registration papers for each litter and you will receive one too!
How long do Cavapoos live? On average from 14-17 years. Premium nutrition, vitamins like Nuvet and regular exercise is key to longevity. Other things that can extend their years is good preventative vet care. Spaying and neutering also adds years because cancer is common in the reproductive tracts.

'Arrow' star Stephen Amell (maybe) suggests The CW and JLA could soon join forces
So, I will be the first to admit this is just pure speculation. But it's the kind of speculation that makes my nerd juices rage hardcore.
Amidst all the reaction to the Robbie Amell/Firestorm casting announcement for "The Flash", Stephen Amell tweeted something that *might* suggest there *could* be a possibility that The CW's DC Universe family could join the JLA.
Let's take a look, shall we?
So there you have it. What do you think? Comment below or tweet your ideas at me @LauraKeeney

USA – Federal judge rules against gay and lesbian plaintiffs in Nevada marriage equality case
A federal district court judge in Nevada has ruled against same-sex couples in Nevada seeking access to marriage. Sevcik v. Sandoval is a legal challenge to Nevada's constitutional regime with respect to same-sex couples, filed by Lambda Legal. The state allows same-sex couples to have most of the rights and benefits associated with marriage but denies them and only them use of the word marriage. The plaintiffs in this case say that denying them marriage violates the equal protection of the laws.
The judge disagreed, writing that the 1972 summary dismissal in Baker v. Nelsonforecloses the issue. He suggested a broad reading of Baker (which concerned an equal protection challenge based on gender), writing that "The equal protection claim is the same in this case as it was in Baker, i.e., whether the Equal Protection Clause prevents a state from refusing to permit same-sex marriages. Although the judge found that the amendment does indeed draw a dividing line between two groups and that "for the purposes of an equal protection challenge, the distinction is definitely sexual-orientation based", he applied the most lenient form of judicial review for equal protection challenges, rational basis review, where "a court does not judge the perceived wisdom or fairness of a law, nor does it examine the actual rationale for the law when adopted, but asks only whether "there is any reasonably conceivable state of facts that could provide a rational basis for the classification."" Under this standard, he wrote, "[t]he protection of the traditional institution of marriage, which is a conceivable basis for the distinction drawn in this case, is a legitimate state interest." Thus there is no violation of the Equal Protection Clause.
Regarding the allegation that Nevada's constitutional regime denying gays and lesbians marriage rights is based on animus toward the group, he wrote, "[t]he conceivable benefits to society from maintaining a distinction between traditional marriage and same-sex domestic partnerships provide a rational basis for the State of Nevada to maintain the distinction, even if one result of the distinction is the stigmatization of same-sex relationships or if bias was one motivating factor."
The judge's ruling against the plaintiffs was anticipated after he expressedskepticism about their case at the initial hearing. As we reported:
[]Judge Jones seemed skeptical in general about allowing any such expert testimony, saying that to do so would require him to sit "as a legislature" (14). "This area you're talking about," he said, "is so broad it's across the entire United States. You're asking them to summarize thousands of incidences." Attorneys, he said, should tell courts what the law is, and he specifically questioned the course of action taken by Judge Vaughn Walker in the Prop 8 case in California with regard to allowing expert opinion on the changing shape of marriage in the United States and the difficulties faced by LGBT individuals.
An attorney for the state of Nevada raised the point that there are currently several petitions pending with the Supreme Court on the issue of marriage equality and the Defense of Marriage Act, to which Judge Jones responded, "It makes sense to get this decided and off with the circus train." In particular, Judge Jones noted that the Ninth Circuit's decision in the Prop 8 case, in which it singled out the fact that California had extended and then withdrawn equal marriage rights from gay and lesbian couples, differentiated that case from Sevcik, since Nevada had never extended such rights.
The case will likely be appealed to the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals.

I Just Love It!
YoVille Linda was so happy she could hardly contain her enthusiasm. She had been working double shifts at the factory to save enough money to buy a house. And, she had finally done just that. She had bought her first house. A ranch style home just like the type Linda herself had lived in when she was growing up.
She was so excited and as proud as a peacock. She could hardly wait to show everyone her new home. She had decorated her living room, bedroom, bathroom, and kitchen in her favorite "girly girl" style and "retro kitchen" style.
She had a garage that she was using for now as a craft/hobby and den. After all she didn't have a driver's license - let alone a car. And, she always wanted a craft and hobby room. Why not use the garage?
And, best of all, she had a yard. Well, a front yard anyway. She was sure there was a backyard, but, she wasn't at a high enough level in the YoVille game to see that just yet. In time - she'd get there in time. For now she could sit on her front lawn. And, she could have her flower garden. Her fingers were just itching to do some gardening.
But, for now she was happy that she had finally moved in and could show off her new abode. So, what do you think? How do you like YoVille Linda's new house?

1. It can relieve stress
Aromatherapy is incredibly powerful and the right scents can help the body and mind relax and de-stress. Lavender and ylang ylang are both known for their de-stressing properties. Using the oils within an aromatherapy massage is a great way to help relieve stress.
2. It can reduce anxiety
As stress and anxiety are commonly linked, aromatherapy can also help reduce feelings of anxiety. One way you can use essential oils to help anxiety is to incorporate an oil burner or scented candle into your mindfulness practice/meditation.
Focusing on the present moment has been known to help anxiety and an easy way to ground yourself in the 'now' is to focus on your senses, what you can smell for example.
3. It can help you sleep
People with insomnia are often encouraged to try aromatherapy. Relaxing scents can form part of a wind-down routine to help prepare both body and mind for a restful sleep. Try burning a relaxing scent or incorporating essential oils in your evening bath.
4. It can complement chronic pain treatment
Chronic pain treatment is often multi-pronged and will be managed by a medical team. Aromatherapy can often be used alongside this treatment to help reduce associated anxiety and even help to relax muscles.
5. It can ease agitation in those with dementia
The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) suggest that aromatherapy may help treat feelings of agitation in those with dementia. It can support well-being, reduce stress and encourage relaxation.
6. It can reduce anxiety in those with cancer
According to Cancer Research UK, many people with cancer turn to aromatherapy to complement conventional treatment. It appears to make patients feel happier and more able to cope with the changes happening and may help to reduce pain and anxiety in the short-term.
7. It can help with tension headaches
Peppermint, clary sage and lavender are known for helping to reduce pain. Aromatherapy massages in particular can be very helpful for those with tension headaches as it helps remove tension in the back and shoulders that contributes to these headaches.
8. It can ease symptoms of colds and flu
Menthol and eucalyptus oils can help clear blocked airways when inhaled, helping to ease congestion and improve symptoms of cold and flu. Try adding a few drops to a bowl of hot water and inhale the steam.
9. It can help fight fatigue
Whilst aromatherapy is well known for inducing relaxation, it can also lift your energy levels and help you feel alert. Try citrus and menthol scents to help perk you up.
10. It is a natural treatment with little to no side-effects
Essential oils are natural and completely safe when used correctly with no side-effects. For advice on using aromatherapy at home, we recommend seeing an aromatherapist.

Summer Basement Project
October 7, 2016 § Leave a comment
This post really should be called Years-Long Basement Project, for it has taken more than this summer's effort. It has been in the works for a long time, but I think we're finally achieved the most important.
We knew we didn't want to finish our basement, per se, because we have plenty of living space as it is. But we didn't know what the "something" we wanted to do was. And that turned out to be the biggest problem – because we weren't set on anything specific, for the longest time we couldn't decide on a plan.
I've always found the color of unfinished concrete incredibly depressing, however, so it had to be painted at the very minimum. I landed on the idea of a darker floor and white walls, and found inspiration photos both for the space in general and for a green floor.
Mr. E worked on roughly finishing the ceiling a few years ago:
Then life happened again, and the project pushed off as non-critical. Last summer we had the walls treated with a white water repellant and the floor painted.
We then started adding shelving and rearranging the space, but stalled yet again – which turned out for the best, for we needed to have a lolly post added to address structural issues.
This past summer we finally built a little more storage and arranged everything both in the garage and the basement. (I'll post about the storage we built another time.)
We have boxes and bins and bags to group the smaller items and protect them for dust (and spiderwebs). Items are in zones: pantry-related (extra cans, jams, bottles); additional food prep items (like canning jars and Mr. E's brewing supplies); household supplies (like light bulbs, batteries, recyclables to go out, paper products to go in, potting soil & plant pots); tools and the like (hammers, screw drivers, drill, etc.).
We also have a few large storage tubs for seasonal items and decor, some pushed into corners, some on the shelves. The heating vents are still visible in all of their silvery glory, which sometimes bugs me, but not enough to take action.
The main achievements are the improved color situation and sensible storage. Ahh, it's so lovely to have dedicated places for everything!
Green Watercolor Splot Wallpaper
October 3, 2016 § Leave a comment
Hey, that looks familiar:
Indeed – it's very similar to the blue watercolor splot wallpaper I posted two years ago.
Found via IKEA's Livet hemma blog. Sadly, there are no details about the wallpaper that I can see; the post is advertising the Sällskap series. (NB. Swedish only.)

Dark Green in a Bedroom
September 28, 2016 § Leave a comment
Dark green is Mr. E's favorite color. I like green, but incorporating it into our house has been a bit of a struggle. (Especially since the house came with yellow walls!) I've long been keeping an eye out for dark green in any home dec photos I come across just in case they might offer a solution.
Looking for something else, I found this photo in an older folder. It's from a magazine that's probably long recycled now, so unfortunately I don't have any idea who designed the room or when.
I don't much care for the details, and the closet wall is positively repulsing to me, but I really like the colors of the bed and bedding. So, it stays in the inspiration folder.
Colorful Styling from Sweden
September 13, 2016 § Leave a comment
A while ago I discovered the blog of Sania Hedengren and Susanna Zacke, stylists and home dec journalists from Sweden. It's so lovely to see cozy, colorful Scandinavian style – not everything and everyone in the Nordic countries revolves around modern monochrome minimalism, you know. 🙂
Just a few favorites:
Lovely blue and white front hall with touches of pale wood from an article of theirs in Hus & hem magazine some time in 2015.
Detail from a dream kitchen with white and blue.
Scene from a small pine cottage.
Whoops! That's almost only blue and white and wood. Well, I do know what I love. 🙂

A few lovely kitchen pics for a sunny spring day!
Painted kitchen drawers make for a lovely surprise glimpse of yellow:
A wonderful combination of white and bright colors by Jutta at Kootut murut:
Orange walls and accents from the home of Adelle Robinson and Justin Keefe, found via design*sponge:
I'm not a friend of subway tile, but in the picture below they're tolerable (but still not handsome enough to tempt me):
That yellow toekick on the other hand – very nice idea! Photo by Derek Swalwell; found via design*sponge.
Last but not least, blue kitchen cabinets!
Design by Arent and Pyke; found via Desire to Inspire. Such gorgeous floors, too! (I'd hate to change the bulbs, though; I'm not that good with heights.)
I'm taking the rest of the month off, blogwise. Happy April!

Periodontal health is a crucial component of overall vitality and wellness. Periodontal structures, or the gums, bone and periodontal ligament, form the foundation of the oral cavity and support both the function and appearance of an individual. In an effort to eliminate active gum disease and restore health to periodontal structures through crown lengthening procedures, Dr. Amarik Singh employs minimally invasive BIOLASE WaterLase® REPaiR™ Laser Technology in Oak Brook, IL.
The hundreds of bacteria known to cause periodontal disease multiply rather quickly when allowed to proliferate below the gum line. This disease process must be arrested and prevented from inflicting further damage upon periodontal tissues. Dr. Singh accomplishes these oral health goals by rendering effective, gentle laser gum disease treatment with the BIOLASE REPaiR™ Protocol.
Performed in stages, this treatment protocol progresses as follows:
In the absence of invasive incisions and subsequent need for sutures, gum tissues remain in their natural capacity to heal, minimizing recovery time and optimizing tissue preservation. BIOLASE REPaiR™ Technology offers comfortable laser gum disease treatment that generates effective, measurable results.
Since lasers are so precise and do not grind like a drill, you have less trauma to recover from.
Laser surgery preserves the healthy tissue while eliminating the bad, diseased tissue.
Rough bone is good for bacteria because it's easy to latch onto. Smooth bone discourages this.
Complete the form below and a member of our team will contact you at a more convenient time!
Crown lengthening is a periodontal procedure often required when excess gum and bone tissue impede oral health, tooth restoration efforts, or esthetic goals concerning the smile. The process of crown lengthening involves the removal of these tissues to reveal more of the underlying tooth structure. To accomplish these objectives in the most efficient way and without any secondary damage to oral structures, Dr. Singh utilizes BIOLASE REPaiR Technology with the WaterLase® laser. This highly advanced laser technology is applied to the following types of crown lengthening procedures:
Dr. Amarik Singh remains steadfast in his efforts to bring patients in Oakbrook Terrace, IL and surrounding communities cutting edge, innovative periodontal and implant solutions. For more information on BIOLASE REPaiR™ technology for laser gum disease treatment and crown lengthening and how it might benefit you, contact our office for a consultation today.
Our office utilizes advanced technology to create better, more efficient treatment plans. In the long run, better technology means better care and less trips to the dental office.
