Choosing a Theme For Your Son's Bedroom
Decorating the house is essential for many parents. Imagination and an open mind are needed to allow you to transform an average lads bedroom into something quite exceptional. The outer space motif resonates nicely with most lads. It is also the most easy to integrate in the boys bedroom. It includes lots of space ships and luminescence, stars. Selecting furniture that reflects outer space can also develops further the motif. A space ship bed may be a perfect pick. You may also contain the layout to be completed by some aliens.
Kid Bedroom Themes
Planes are additionally loved by lads. By hanging toy aircraft in the ceiling this motif can be developed. On murals hang with the exact same motif and be sure to include those of his buddies in addition to some of his images. The linen you select should also reflect the motif. These shouldn't be difficult to locate since there are tons of designs that are bedspread to select from.
Another kid bedroom themethat is amazing is sailors motif or the pirates. To depict pirates paint skulls on black flags. You may also paint the walls with a parrot and some pirates. In this manner your boys bedroom could have the trendiest layout.
Particularly those whose dads are in the military like the armed forces motif, some sons. Included in these are tanks, submarines, fighter jets or soldiers in action. Have miniature firearms strategically placed through the entire room to develop this theme. With this motif your son may have a lot.
Eventually your sons bedroom can have safari motif or a jungle. Other accessories range from butterflies, binoculars or safari hats. Hanging bugs from your ceiling can further enhances the motif. Your son also needs to give some of his thoughts to help enhance this motif to you.
Aside from the motifs the common ornamentation techniques also needs to be contained. These should use when selecting the layout of natural light along with the bedroom to ensure there's adequate space . The furniture also should not be inappropriate with surfaces that are smooth to prevent harms.

Annoying Website Tactics
I'm so tired of running into websites with articles I might like to read only to find that instead of putting it on maybe one or two pages they've split it into as many small pages as possible to increase ad viewing. The first thing I do when that happens is make a mental note to avoid the site in the future. The second thing I do is leave the site.
If the article is a long list then perhaps I can understand it but as an example earlier today I Stumbled into a top 50 something or other. How many pages would you expect? One long page? Two pages with 25 items each? Nope.. At an outside stretch I might tolerate five pages with 10 items each. This particular site had somehow managed to stretch it to eight pages. Yes, eight pages with five items in very short paragraphs on each… WHY?! GREED! STOP IT!!

March 17 is St. Patrick's Day. Everyone who drinks alcohol — at least, everyone who ever drinks alcohol with even a modest disregard for their well-being — knows this.
Drinkers are especially excited about this particular St. Patrick's Day because, well, it's Friday. Friday goes with booze like St. Patrick's Day goes with booze; so that makes March 17 a very special evening for all the friends of Bill before Bill got sober.
The cops must be thrilled.
So you know, the next time St. Patrick's Day lands on a Friday will be 2023. Hopefully, by that time, most of you will have recovered from Saturday's hangover.
I'm Irish, but I don't drink, so I have little to offer you with regard to where and/or how you choose to get hammered this evening. That said, here's some advice for those of you staggering home March 17: Be mindful of intersections.
As tips go, you may consider this, at once, odd and obvious. But I bring it to your attention, with a degree of urgency, as it's been only recently that I discovered the truth about intersections myself.
Let me explain.
I moved here in 1970 from Montreal, where, at the time, pedestrians who stepped off the curb were hunted like Sanger Rainsford in The Most Dangerous Game. My father, trying to get his 14-year-old excited about the move, told me how pedestrians in Vancouver were afforded the absolute right-of-way at every intersection.
Because he was my father, and because fathers are always right, even when they're totally wrong, every intersection in town was mine to wield. And wield I did — for decades and decades and decades.
Then one day, sometime last year, I mentioned this special power to Province columnist Gordon Clark, who, in turn, told me I was dangerously misinformed. According to Gord, every time I stepped off the curb at an unmarked intersection to exert my rights as a pedestrian, drivers had little more than a moral obligation to not run me over.
This wasn't something I was going to accept blindly. Gord may be a father, too, and, as such, is never wrong, but, damn it all, he's not my father.
So, I turned to the law on this matter and learned something very important: The Motor Vehicle Act of B.C. isn't exactly a Stephen King novel if reading enjoyment is the objective. I also learned that Gord was right.
According to the B.C. Motor Vehicle Act under the heading "Rights of Way Between Vehicle and Pedestrian," the act states: "The driver of a vehicle must yield the right of way to a pedestrian where traffic-control signals are not in place or not in operation when the pedestrian is crossing the highway in a crosswalk … "
Earlier in the act, a "crosswalk" is defined as: "A portion of the roadway at an intersection or elsewhere distinctly indicated for pedestrian crossing by signs or by lines or other markings on the surface … "
So there you go. It's never easy admitting mistakes, but until some other father informs me otherwise, it appears I have been wrong on this matter for a long, long time.
Happy St. Paddy's Day everyone. Be safe — especially crossing the street.

Service completes status review of the bay skipper butterfly
The bay skipper butterfly does not warrant federal protection as an endangered or threatened species, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service concluded, following a status review initiated by a petition seeking to protect the species under the Endangered Species Act (ESA) and to designate critical habitat.
"We conducted a status review of the bay skipper and actually discovered new populations of the butterfly in Texas and Louisiana and an expanded range of suitable habitat," said Cindy Dohner, the Service's Southeast Regional Director. "This is good news for the bay skipper and confirmation of the high-quality conservation work being accomplished by our employees and partners."
During a limited seven-day survey of potential habitats between the Florida panhandle and Galveston, Texas, the Service found abundant and apparently suitable habitat, and confirmed seven new site records of the butterfly in Texas and Louisiana. Therefore, the Service made its decision, commonly known as a 12-month finding, that listing is not currently appropriate for the bay skipper.
The Service also considered the large extent of coastal maritime habitats along Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, and Florida that have not been adequately surveyed for the presence of the bay skipper. Apart from localized impacts of severe tropical storms, the Service was unable to document any persistent or imminent threats to the bay skipper or its habitat. The discovery of additional populations and a wider range for the bay skipper reduces its vulnerability to local population destruction resulting from severe storms or any other random event.
The bay skipper is a small, dusky-orange-and-brown butterfly found only in marshes along the Gulf Coastal Plain. When the Service initiated the status survey, only two populations were historically known, one in Hancock County, Mississippi, and one in Chambers and Jefferson counties, Texas. Threats identified in the petition included vulnerability to extreme weather events, potential sea-level rise, small population size and limited distribution, plus vulnerability of localized populations to pesticide use.
Although the 12-month finding concludes that listing the bay skipper as endangered or threatened under the ESA is not warranted at this time, the Service requests that any new information concerning the status of, or threats to, the bay skipper be sent to the Mississippi Ecological Services Field Office, 6578 Dogwood View Parkway, Jackson, MS 39213. New information will help monitor the bay skipper and encourage its conservation.

11 April 2010
ye good olde times
For my wife and my mother, apparently, this is especially true for 'Rosinenschnecken', or raisin snails. (Think raisin swirls, just baked individually)
In the good olde times, the raisin snails were still moist, they were not that dark, not that sweet, had more raisins, less frosting, less 'stuff' and you could pull them apart like little springs. Short, they were better all around.
So as it is my solemn duty to make my wife happy, I started making raisin snails 'like they used to be'. At least, like they used to be in the memory of my wife.
I think the results are a little plain, but then again, sometimes that is exactly what is needed. I have found myself repeatedly at work during the 4-o'clock-sugar-craze, silently wishing I had though of taking one of these snails with me.
They're good stuff, the way they don't make them any more.
raisin snails 'like they used to make them'
(makes about 16 snails)
for the snails:
1kg all-purpose flour
0,5l milk, lukewarm
190g sugar
300g butter, softened
1 sachet vanilla sugar
1 teaspoon dry active yeast
1g salt (about a quarter of a teaspoon)
200g raisins (sultanas)
150ml water
100g butter
four tablespoons condensed milk
for the glaze:
200g confectioner's sugar
2 teaspoons lemon juice
1 tablespoon water
The day before baking, mix the flour with milk, butter, sugar, vanilla, salt and yeast until just combined and still shaggy. Leave to rest for about an hour as it is (autolyse).
After the dough has rested, knead one more time, just about a minute.
The dough will now be significantly smoother than just an hour ago and much easier to handle.
In a jar, add the water to the raisins and leave to soak overnight.
Of course, you can always soak the raisins in rum or something like Cointreau, but then that would be very... modern.
Transfer the dough to a large bowl. Pick one side of the dough, pull it up towards you and fold over, as if folding a towel. Turn the bowl around 90° and repeat with all four sides of the dough.
After the folds, the dough should already be very smooth and strong.
Cover and leave the dough to rest for another 30 minutes. After the rest, repeat the folds and cover tightly. Leave to proof overnight in a cool spot, even the refrigerator.
On the day of baking, melt the remaining butter and leave to cool a little.
Take the dough out of the bowl and roll out into a rectangle about 40 by 60cm.
Do not knead the dough. Just take it as it is and press it down until you can use your rolling pin.
Transfer the rolled dough onto a clean tea towel, this will make it easier to roll it up later.
I always forget this step, and could bite myself for doing so.
Brush the dough with the butter, using all of it. Leave a strip a few fingers wide at one of the small sides unbuttered. Brush the unbuttered section of the dough lightly with water.
Drain the raisins well, eventually even dabbing them with a paper towel. Put the raisins onto the buttered dough and distribute evenly.
Beginning with the side opposite the 'watered' section, start to roll up the dough, using the tea-towel as a handle. Put onto your working surface seam-side down.
Cut the rolled-up dough into slices about two fingers thick. Usually, that makes me come up with 16 snails.
Place each snail onto your working surface and press down until round and half their height. Cover lightly and leave to rest for 1,5 to 2 hours, depending on the temperature in your kitchen.
They won't rise much now, so don't worry.
Preheat the oven to 190°C.
When the dough has risen, transfer onto a baking sheet and brush with the condensed milk. Bake for about 20 minutes until they are nicely golden.
Put onto a rack an leave to cool.
In a small bowl, combine the confectioner's sugar with the lemon juice and the water. Add the water gradually, the glaze should be more like cream-cheese than like cream.
When the snails have cooled down to at least hand-warm, put the glaze into the microwave for a minute (or less if your's is especially powerful). Stir the hot glaze (which is very liquid now) and immediately drizzle over the snails.
The glaze will set almost instantly, so you might want to do this in batches.
The raisin snails are best enjoyed fresh, but freeze and thaw perfectly as well.
P.S.: And once more, this post wil be sent to the YeastSpotting section of Susan's formidable blog Wild Yeast, a home baker's resource I can hardly recommend too much.

You are an excellent husband. It's not every man who will make raisin snails for his wife. She is a very lucky woman. (Let her know I said that the next time you do something to piss her off, lol!!)

@Mimi - Thanks, though still I think I am the lucky one to have her. And as you can see by the post above (Ashuroa is my wife), she's still not entirely happy.
@doughhadear and Memória - thanks so much for dropping me a line, and I hope you'll like these as much as we do!
@ashuroa - Well dear, this weekend's batch had 375g butter in the dough. Judging by your smile, that's doing the trick nicely. (She's sitting across the room right now, happily munching her snail while killing some orcs on her PC...) Love ya!

TOLD YA more butter would do the trick!

Supports A Restful Night's Sleep
Perhaps you've seen our sleep product reviews here on B5.
That's awesome.
Tossing and turning at night happens to the best of them – even to the most seasoned bodybuilding enthusiast.
No matter how committed you are to your fitness program, your personal concerns may make your mind go 100 miles per hour when you hit the sack.
We know. We've been there.
That's why we're here to help.
A sleep supplement such as ERGOGENIX ERGOZZZ should fit the bill – its 525 percent of the daily value for Vitamin B6 and extra health benefits were some of the reasons why we gave it a perfect grade.
We're hoping more products like that would come your way – we're 100 percent sure you'll sleep like a baby.
Well, on that note, we're hoping New Chapter Zyflamend Nighttime meets lofty expectations.
This supplement "is designed to help you enjoy a deep and restful sleep through a combination of multiple time-tested herbs such as lemon balm, hops, chamomile, and valerian," per its official website.
"The whole food antioxidants in Zyflamend Nighttime can also quench free radicals and support healthy aging," per the same source.
A sleep product which relies on time-tested herbs and whole food antioxidants?
Sure sounds good to us, folks.
When we first sized up the ingredients list, we saw a combination of the usual sleep supplement ingredients (lemon balm, chamomile, valerian, etc.) and the non-traditional ones (turmeric, ginger, and holy basil).
That tells us New Chapter Zyflamend Nighttime has a unique identity – it should lure more consumers its way.
Its main ingredient is 150 milligrams of holy basil (Ocimum sanctum)(leaf) per serving.
It's an adaptogenic herb which hails from the mint family. Its main benefit: its ability to ward off cortisol, the dreaded stress hormone.
Stress is one of the leading causes of insomnia. The more you think at night, the more stressed out you feel.
Guess what? High stress levels won't make you sleep through the night, that's for sure.
Holy basil helps keep cortisol levels and hormonal imbalance in check.
In other words, it helps nip insomnia in the bud by addressing the root cause – stress.
We like the manufacturer shining the spotlight on holy basil – we're confident it will help you sleep longer.
Next up are 100 milligrams of turmeric (Curcuma longa)(rhizome) per serving.
If you don't know what turmeric is, you're missing out.
Turmeric is an herbaceous plant and a member of the ginger family. Many health experts consider it as a superfood.
Perhaps these benefits will convince you why it earned the label:
- Keeps inflammation at bay
- Wards off nasty free radicals
- Helps boost cognitive function
- Improves heart, joint, and muscle health
- Helps detoxify the body
- Enhances mood
- Boosts weight loss
- Regulates cholesterol levels
If you hit the weights hard, your joints may be prone to inflammation.
Well, consuming turmeric is a great preventive measure. We say its inclusion in New Chapter Zyflamend Nighttime will help shorten your recovery time.
Trust us.
The next few ingredients are the more typical ones you find on the sleep supplement market.
New Chapter Zyflamend Nighttime also has 100 milligrams of Chinese skullcap (Scutellaria baicalensis)(root) per serving.
This is an herb which the Chinese have been using for thousands of years. Just like Holy basil, Chinese skullcap is also a member of the mint family.
Some experts say it helps consumers quell anxiety before sleeping.
We're not surprised.
Chinese skullcap is also a nerve tonic which helps lower oxidative stress levels. Plus, it also acts as a powerful antioxidant.
Not only that, but it also helps keep inflammation at bay.
So, with Chinese skullcap, you get the combined benefits of Holy basil and turmeric for a better night's rest.
New Chapter Zylfamend Nighttime's next key ingredient is 85 milligrams of lemon balm (Melissa officinalis)(leaf) per serving.
Meet another component which helps stop anxiety dead in its tracks.
The key: eugenol, an oily substance which keeps bacterial activity in check.
Plus, lemon balm is also another potent antioxidant.
With that, New Chapter Zyflamend Nighttime is shaping up to be your go-to sleep supplement for lower anxiety levels and increased antioxidant protection, folks.
Plus, nobody can dispute the effectiveness of lemon balm extract – people have been using it since the Dark Ages. It's that efficient.
As for us, we're glad it's in New Chapter Zyflamend Nighttime.
Another typical sleep product ingredient is chamomile (Matricaria recutita)(flower).
This supplement has 75 milligrams per two-capsule serving.
Chamomile has a flavonoid known as chrysin which helps you fall asleep faster.
Check out its other key benefits:
- Boosts the immune system
- Keeps inflammation and free radicals at bay
- Promotes healthy blood sugar levels
- Wards off muscle spasms
We said it before, we'll say it again: chamomile is not only a top-notch sedative, but it's also a great asset for long-term health.
We believe 75 milligrams per serving will go a long way – most sleep products have around 50 milligrams of chamomile per serving or so.
Next up is 75 milligrams of hops (Humulus lupulus)(strobiles) per serving.
Would you believe hops is a component of beer?
Well, it turns out this beer component has great health benefits.
According to the July 2012 edition of PLoS One (via NCBI.NLM.NIH.gov), it "could exert a sedative action in humans, apart from its benefits for health when consumed in moderation, among which are its anti-carcinogenous and cardiovascular health properties."
An ingredient which helps support better sleep, increase antioxidant protection, and boost heart health?
It sounds like a winner to us, folks.
Listen, 75 milligrams of hops per serving is not the most in the industry (some, like Peak Life Somnapure, have 120 milligrams per serving), but it'll do.
New Chapter Zyflamend Nighttime also has 75 milligrams of ginger (Zingiber officinale)(rhizome) per serving.
Who can dispute the power of ginger, another powerful anti-inflammatory ingredient?
We sure won't.
Let's rattle off its important benefits:
- Improves bone and joint health
- Wards off free radicals
- Boosts digestion and immunity
- Regulates blood sugar and cholesterol levels
Like turmeric, ginger is another time-tested ingredient. It's rare to find a sleep product which has the latter component.
We believe ginger will help shorten your recovery time and improve your overall health.
New Chapter Zyflamend Nighttime's last key ingredient is 40 milligrams of valerian (Valeriana officinalis)(root) per serving.
Long story short, valerian root is known for its ability to induce relaxation prior to bedtime.
In addition, it helps regulate blood pressure levels and ward off menstrual cramps.
This supplement's valerian root content pales in comparison to the likes of Peak Life Somnapure (which has more than 12 times the amount at 500 milligrams per serving).
Does that mean New Chapter Zyflamend Nighttime is a slouch?
No. Not by a long shot.
It simply means the manufacturer places a premium on other ingredients. Like we said, this product has a unique identity.
On paper, New Chapter Zyflamend Nighttime looks like a great sleep supplement.
Put it this way, folks: around three out of every four people say it works for them.
The percentage could be higher, but that's not bad at all.
We hope – and we're confident – it will work well for you.
Let's check out the formula ingredients:
- Holy basil (Ocimum sanctum)(leaf), 150 mg: An adaptogenic herb and member of the mint family which helps lower cortisol levels and keep hormonal imbalance in check for better sleep.
- Turmeric (Curcuma longa)(rhizome), 100 mg: An herbaceous plant and member of the ginger amily which helps ward off inflammation and free radicals, improve cognitive function, boost heart, joint, and muscle health; and enhance mood. These, plus a slew of other health benefits, help turmeric earn its superfood title.
- Chinese skullcap (Scutellaria baicalensis)(root), 100 mg: Another member of the mint family and nerve tonic which helps lower anxiety levels for better sleep quality. Chinese skullcap also helps keep inflammation at bay.
- Lemon balm (Melissa officinalis)(leaf), 85 mg: A staple sleep supplement ingredient which has an oily substance known as eugenol. This substance helps quell anxiety for better and deeper sleep. In addition, lemon balm also acts as a potent antioxidant. Awesome.

- Ginger (Zingiber officinale)(rhizome), 75 mg: A powerful anti-inflammatory ingredient which also helps boost bone and jiont health. Ginger also helps keep free radicals at bay, regulate digestion, and promote healthy blood sugar and cholesterol levels.
- Valerian (Valeriana officinalis)(root), 40 mg: A common sleep product ingredient which helps quell anxiety, regulate blood pressure levels, and keep menstrual cramps at bay.
Formula Analysis
Right off the bat, we said New Chapter Zyflamend Nighttime has a unique identity.
For starters, where can you find a sleep support ingredient which features Holy basil as its main ingredient?

For others, it's magnesium.

We believe it will get the job done.
Key ingredients such as Holy basil, valerian root, and Chinese skullcap get to the heart of the matter: stress.

Today I'd like to share with you another video of a Les Brown speech: You got to have passion.Starting at school it is difficult for teenagers to have vision and escape peers pressure. There are so many people who do not try to reach their dreams just because they are influenced by others and fear what people say.
You got to have passion to realize your dreams.
You got to work hard to realize your dreams.
You got to fail several times to realize your dreams.
You got to be a winner not a quitter to realize your dreams.
Then everything is possible.
"If you take responsibility for yourself you will develop a hunger to accomplish your dreams" -- Les Brown

This was our first year growing hot peppers. We have one jalapeño plant and one cayenne pepper. We picked several jalapeños at a point when I thought they were ripe, but when we prepared them fresh they weren't hot at all, and were more like a sweet pepper. I haven't looked into this yet, so I don't know if I picked them too early or what might have happened. Has anyone else experienced this?
The whole first batch of our cayennes got eaten up by some bug. It ate holes in the walls of the peppers, and they eventually all went bad. I figured our cayenne crop would just be a loss, but after I picked the first wave of bad peppers off, a new wave came on that wasn't touched by pests. The peppers grew perfectly and turned a brilliant red on the plant.
Hot peppers are handy in terms of food preservation because they can be dried and used much later in the season, either in their pepper form or they can be ground into spices.
An easy way to dry hot peppers is to hang them on a string, called a ristra. There are a whole variety of ways to make ristras, including tying string around the stems or pushing a needle and thread directly through the stem or pepper itself.
I wasn't as careful as I should have been when I harvested the peppers, so the stems weren't long enough to tie the string around them. Instead, I used the needle and thread method. I used some hemp twine I happened to have on hand (left over from my hemp necklace-making high school days), which meant I had to use a really large upholstery needle to thread it through. This didn't work quite as well as I had hoped, because the hole was big enough to damage the stem substantially in some places and I ended up having to put the string through the pepper itself for a couple of them. Next time I would use just a regular needle and thread to minimize the size of the hole.
Even after only a couple days, the peppers appeared to be drying successfully, so I'm pleased with this method. Late in the season the plant really started cranking out the peppers, so we should have a decent crop for this winter.

Several studies surveyed by the Atlanta Fed in 2010 suggested that "foreclosed properties sell at a discount, likely because such properties are in worse condition...[and that] very nearby foreclosures appear to depress the sales prices of nondistressed properties although this effect decays rapidly in physical distance and time." In other words, the negative effect of foreclosures on the home prices of nearby homes is only temporary. By contrast, New Jersey's Residential Foreclosure Transformation Act (which Governor Christie has yet to sign or veto) on surrounding home values will cause a permanent and extreme loss in property values, because that bill will allow the conversion of residential real estate into deed-restricted low-income or affordable housing or other properties for special social welfare uses, so that the properties cannot be converted back into "regular" residential real estate until 30 years after their conversion after being bought in foreclosure!
The Act passed the New Jersey State Senate Monday afternoon (21 for, 18 against, one abstained), and a similar bill passed the State Assembly hours later (45 for, 33 against, one abstained). In each house, two Democrats joined the unanimous Republican caucus in voting against the bills. The Assembly will consider the Senate version Thursday afternoon in its last session before the legislative summer recess.
