Features: May '10
Knitted Pouf from 95% Danish
by Catherine Gregg on May 30, 2010 | 0 comments
Put your feet up and relax in style with a fantastic Knitted Pouf from 95% Danish, £69-£124.
Chunky knits have been trending on the fashion catwalks as well as the world of interiors, and these tactile knitted poufs are a great way to get the look at home without breaking the bank. Made of rope, they pick up on the nautical trend too. I love the orange and yellow ones; they remind me of buoys bobbing up and down at sea.
Available in three sizes and four colours, they look fabulous individually or as a cheerful little group. And who doesn't need a pouf in their life? These plump little spheres of joy are so versatile: as extra seating, a footstool for tired limbs, or simply a decorative accent to brighten up a room.
The difficulty's in choosing which one to go for. Flustered by the constant tyranny of decision-making, I'd probably end up getting all of them. And then I'd make a chubby bundle of them in the corner of my room.
Wooden Swings from Swings and Pretty Things
by Alexandra Thomas on May 29, 2010 | 0 comments
Release your inner child with this wooden swing from Swings and Pretty Things. From £90
I don't know about you, but even at the ripe old age of 31, I find it hard to walk past a swing in a playground.
Call me childish if you wish, but there's nothing I like better than jumping on one, pushing off with my feet and daring myself to go higher and higher.
Of course, all this behaviour is a little embarrassing for an adult to admit to, which is why I'm delighted to have found these swings at Swings and Pretty Things.
Made from oak, they are as sturdy as they are beautiful and will make a welcome addition to your garden whether they're for little ones or not such little ones.
They can also be engraved with a personal message which is a really lovely idea.
I can't wait to get one for my own garden so I can swing away until my heart's content and not risk any strange looks at the local park.

Bring your holiday home with you with this fabulous Dodacanese fabric from Sandberg. £94 per m
It might have something to do with the fact that I'm shortly off on my hols to Greece, but I think even if I was going to Bognor, I'd still be in love with this fabric.
Named after a particularly pretty group of Greek islands, this Dodacanese fabric from Swedish company Sandberg is hand painted and features hilly Greek towns complete with red roofed villas and luscious countryside.
Perfect for adding some Greek chic to your home, use it for cushions, curtains or cover wooden panels for instant art.

The Pantone hotel opens in Brussels
by Emma Foale on May 27, 2010 | 0 comments
The opening of the Pantone Hotel has certainly brought a spectrum of colour to the city centre of Brussels.
Whether you want to have a city break or you are on a business trip, this unique hotel promises an eclectic and colourful experience to suit every possible desire.
The designers, Michel Penneman and Oliver Hannaert thought about how colour in interiors can work to evoke different senses and moods. One of the seven different Pantone colour spectrums is featured in one of the 59 rooms, the spectrum ranges from vibrant and intense to fresh and eager.
The basis of the design in the bedrooms shows how the contrast of the blank white walls with colour can create a simplistic, modern style that will appeal to many. The guest rooms in the hotel feature exclusive photography by the Belgian artist Victor Levy. Guests can also book colour consultations with Pantone specialists for interior design advice.
Complete with luxurious beds, designer furniture, and flat LCD TV's, it seems hard to imagine that you wouldn't want to visit this hotel time and time again to experience a different perspective of colour.
How to create... a cool kids bedroom
by Emma Foale on May 28, 2010 | 0 comments
When decorating a kid's room you can really be as imaginative as you want, and have some fun with the great choice of products available from Furnish.
Any parent will know just how difficult it can be to create a bedroom for their kids that will keep them happy and help them learn, whilst also maintaining that 'cool' status for when they have friends round.
Wallpaper is a feature that will determine the overall mood of a room, and if you want to go for something decorative and colourful, then Butterflies wallpaper from Lover's Lounge is a great choice for either a playful feature wall or to cover all four walls. Another imaginative way of decorating your children's bedroom is with wall stickers; these offer the perfect alternative to wallpaper and can liven up a bland wall. I love that these can be both easily applied and simply removed if you or your child decide that you want a change. For example, Animal tower wall stickers from Lover's lounge are perfect for toddlers to measure their height as they grow.
Storage is essentially one of the most important parts of a children's bedroom; ultimately you will want to achieve a tidy room with accessible storage. The multi-purpose play table with trundle drawers from Great Little Trading Company is any parents' dream because not only does it serve a practical solution with drawers for storing all your kid's toys in, but it also provides a play table with different activities to choose from so your child won't get bored. No longer will your child be afraid of the dark with Plug in Night Lights from Great Little Trading Company; these are a safe and simple way of ensuring a good night's sleep all round. Any cool kid's bedroom would also not be complete without a ceiling light, such as Twit Twoo from Hunkydory Home, which has a colourful print and gorgeous owl design.
If you have children sharing the same room but want to create space then bunk beds are a good solution, they give you more space and kids love them. The Tilly and George bunk bed from Great Little Trading Company is ideal for a cool kid's bedroom because it has a modern design made from traditional wood providing a sturdy sleeping place. Themed bunk beds are also a very popular choice. For furnishing a children's room but still keeping it fun, the Magis Plastic Puppy from Utility is a great seat to keep in their bedroom. You may want to have a couple of these in different colours so that their friends can join in too.
Children's accessories are often the most imaginative and creative part of a room, and are the best way to encourage your child to learn but enjoy it at the same time. The magnetic Blackboard clock from Great Little Trading Company allows you to write in your own numbers, timings or reminders, and this way kids can become more independent in remembering what activities they are doing and when. When starting school kids will need to be organised and so functional accessories like the Rainbow Coat Rack from Great Little Trading Company will help them keep their coat and bags tidy.
In a sense, the greatest freedom you have with decorating and furnishing a cool kid's bedroom is that there are no strict rules, although fun and practicality should merge to give the room the best potential for your child to enjoy playing as much as learning.
How to create... a glamorous bedroom
by Emma Foale on May 24, 2010 | 0 comments
Many of us aspire to have a more glamorous boudoir that exudes style and comfort. Whatever size or shape of your room, you can use different elements can help pull the look together.
The first step is to start experimenting with colours, for example, pastel colours create a natural and calming feel in a bedroom. However, you should not be afraid to be more adventurous with colour, particularly when choosing your furniture and accessories, to make a bold statement.
Wallpaper can be the perfect backdrop to portray the romantic mood in a bedroom. True Blue wallpaper from BODIE and FOU is a perfect example of how your walls can ignite some passion and excitement into your bedroom. The high quality gold pigment gives a shimmery effect and a warm feel, which works well with earthy tones and with a few candles lit will create a romantic mood. If you want to create a feature wall in a bedroom, this works particularly well behind the bed as it draws your attention, and it allows you to set the theme of you room. Floral patterns are a great way to add a feminine touch to a room, or an intricate design like Sparrow wallpaper from 95% Danish adds detail and pattern to your decor.
French-style, mirrored or ornate bedroom furniture is essential for a glamorous look. From bedside tables to wardrobes, you can choose to go big and bold or small and elegant, but either way you cannot fail to make your room more enchanting. Your bed will essentially be the focal point of your room, and so choosing one that has beautiful detailing such as the French provincial style Chateau carved bed from Lover's Lounge, will instantly give your boudoir a glamorous look. Accompany your bed with the hand painted Verona Silver Leaf bedside table from Sweet Pea and Willow, or a dressing table, to give you storage but in a way that does not look cluttered, and keeps the theme of glamour running through your room. For a sense of glamour, soft textures such as suede, silk or faux fur, or velvet are always a great way to make your room feel luxurious. Add a sumptuous and cosy feel to your bedroom with the Velvet quilt in Mulberry from Lombok, which would be the ideal feature to bring out pastel colours in your wallpaper. What better way to add glamour to you room than with sequins which can be on throws, bedspreads or cushions, like the small silver sequin cushion from Rockett St George. I love this cushion because it combines fun and style, and ties together the theme of luxury and comfort.
Finally, the key to a glamorous bedroom is mood lighting; to create a romantic setting choose a chandelier like Mimi Mimi Chandelier from The French Bedroom Company, which is ideal for smaller rooms. Ceiling lights can be hung over the bed and to illuminate all the best features in your room. Subtle lighting can create a romantic mood, and also give a dramatic feel of grandeur and elegance. Or if you'd prefer a free standing light to brighten up a corner, then why not choose something unique like the Miro Floor lamp from Tom Faulkner, with its hand finished silver leaf pattern.
Arched Window Mirror from Graham & Green
by Catherine Gregg on May 27, 2010 | 0 comments
Get some light on the scene with this Arched Window Mirror from Graham & Green, £166.
This fantastic Arched Window Mirror can be used inside to give the illusion of looking into another room, or outside to give the impression of a bigger garden. It's a bit Alice in Wonderland, which is why I like it so much. And I've always wanted to live in a house with arched windows.
Fabulous in a hallway or above a fireplace it looks wonderful propped against the wall, reflecting light back into the room. And outside in the garden it'll create a lovely courtyard feel. It's got the look of architectural salvage about it, but with a metal frame and wood effect finish, it won't degrade outside.
Standing at over a metre tall and almost a metre wide, you get a lot of mirror for your money. The same thing from a reclamation yard would be more or less double the price.
Mixed Up Side Table by Rose & Grey
by Catherine Gregg on May 25, 2010 | 0 comments
Keep your drawers tidy with a striking Mixed Up Side Table from Rose & Grey, £395.
This solid wood Mixed Up Side Table ticks so many boxes I'm completely in love. Unevenly stacked on top of one another, each drawer is unique, from the colour to the handles. It's one of those things you just want to get your hands on, opening and closing all the little drawers, and working out what to put in them. Maybe that's just me; I do have an odd adoration of anything with different compartments.
The eccentric stacking and eclectic handles give it vintage feel - but with a post-modern twist if you'll pardon my French. It reminds me of 1980s Memphis shelving units, but in a much more subtle colour palette. And as well as making it practical, the castors give it a contemporary industrial edge.
Fantastic as a filling cabinet in a home office, it could fit in almost anywhere; just roll it about until you find the right spot. I think I'd put it by my bed just so I could keep an eye on it. But unless I have a sudden windfall it's going to have to stay as a dream…
The Gothic from The Posh Shed Company
by Alexandra Thomas on May 24, 2010 | 0 comments
Have a garden shed to be proud of with The Gothic from The Posh Shed Company. From £1,750
To be perfectly honest, I don't really give my garden shed much thought. It's somewhere the garden equipment is stored and massive spiders seem to lurk. So given my aversion to gardening and giant creepy crawlies, I don't often venture near it.
However, if I had a shed from The Posh Shed Company, I could be convinced to change by mind and it will yours too because if you think sheds are boring, think again.
The Posh Shed Company's sheds come in three designs; The Potting Shed, The Gothic and The Contemporary, are available in three sizes and can be painted in a huge rang of shades. So forget going to your local DIY store for a boring shed and invest in one of these instead.

Luxembourg side table from Barbed
by Alexandra Thomas on May 23, 2010 | 0 comments
Throw a fabulous cocktail party in your own back garden with some help from this Luxembourg Side Table by Fermob from Barbed. £415
Now that I know the summer isn't going to be a total wash out (please don't quote me on this by the way) I am determined to make the most of my garden.
Every evening meal will be outside and at the weekend the barbie will be on as soon as I get up and friends dropping in all day long, to eat, drink and be merry.
I also plan to show off my cocktail making skills, but I won't be running in and out of the flat grabbing obscurely named bottles of spirits because I'm going to treat myself to a Fermob Luxembourg Side Table from Barbed.
Not only is this table-come-trolley extremely cool, it's extremely practical too. The top provides the perfect place to chop fruit and concoct drinks for your guests while the bottom shelf is just the place to stash your bottles.
I love this vibrant yellow, but the Luxemboug is also available in 24 bright and summery colours.
Now, where did I leave my cocktail shaker...

La Luna bistro set from Sparrow & Finch
by Alexandra Thomas on May 21, 2010 | 0 comments
Add some 50s style to your al fresco dining with this La Luna bistro set from Sparrow & Finch. £299.95
It's official, summer is finally here and if you believe those in the know, we're set for a season of mini heatwaves.
Which means that you'll want to spend as much time in your garden as possible. Dining al fresco is one of my favourite summer pastimes whether it's a quick supper after work or a long, Sunday lunch surrounded by friends and family.
Which gives me the perfect excuse to splash out on this La Luna bistro set from Sparrow & Finch.
Elegantly crafted, the set compromises of two chairs and a table and is the perfect choice whatever your outdoor space.
However, what I simply adore about it is its nod towards classic 50s styling as so much of the garden furniture you see tends to be very contemporary or very traditional.
So dig out your salad bowl, fire up the barbie and settle down to a very relaxing feast.

Add a quirky twist to your garden with these Big Scrubber seats from Hen & Hammock. £290
If you're looking for something a little different when it comes to garden furniture, I might just have found the thing for you.
Forget directors' chairs and deckchairs, these Big Scrubber seats designed by Ben Baker are just the ticket to add some quirky charm.
Made from willow canes and topped with a solid ash seat, they have been designed to look like big scrubbing brushes.
I think they're absolutely adorable and can't wait to get my hands on one.
Trying using them around a low table for relaxed garden suppers or use one alone to make a real statement.

Living with the colour white
by Catherine Gregg on May 19, 2010 | 0 comments
Reflecting light, stretching space, and revealing architectural form, a judicious application of white can quietly make a room express its full potential.
Applied to the walls or floor, white provides a silent surface on which anything goes.
White is as much a friend to poky rooms and dark corners as to grand, sun-filled studios. And you don't have to be an obsessive minimalist to enjoy it. Used in the right way, white will make space for the red wine drinker and the sticky fingered kid.
Living with White and Kids
While all vinyl matt paints are wipeable to an extent, Dulux Endurance is extra hardwearing and washable without loss of colour. Developed to deal with kids horsing around at home, Dulux also recommend the Endurance range 'if you fancy yourself as a bit of party animal'.
With their arsenal of crayons, if you've got young children and you want to go in for white furnishings, it's wise to choose sofas and armchairs with removable covers. The Sorrento range at John Lewis has removable and machine-washable covers, in a classic Jacquard stripe. At Ikea, the majority of fabric sofas and armchairs have removable, washable, and replaceable covers (just don't take the kids with you). Bemz also create bespoke covers to fit Ikea's most popular sofas and chairs.
White can be great for kids' bedrooms, particularly if space is an issue. With white walls and furniture as a base, introduce colour through accessories. The Little White Company offers simple, good quality white furniture. For the design-conscious child, the iconic (and wipe-clean) Panton chair comes in a diminutive 'junior' size, while for toddlers the Eames Elephant makes a cheerful companion. And if you're getting up for night feeds, an Eames rocker might just make it more bearable.
Making White Work
From walls and floors, to furnishing and accessories, the key to making white work is in your choice of materials. Whether you want to create an all-white house or use white sparingly as an accent, engaging the senses with variations in texture, natural materials, mirrors and lighting, will prevent white from becoming alienating and clinical. Sculptural plants cast dramatic shadows against white walls, for example, while mirrors enhance the capacity of white to highlight structural detailing.
Paintwork: For walls and ceilings, choose paint with a chalky, soft matt texture to avoid a glaring finish. The Little Greene Paint Company's Acrylic Matt Emulsion is particularly good, while their ULTIMATT® formula is also washable. For wood and metalwork a high gloss finish makes a striking contrast, but if you want something softer, go for a lower sheen with silk or eggshell. Little Greene's Acrylic Eggshell gives a subtle sheen to complement matt walls.
Flooring: White walls look fantastic against the rich tones of a real wood floor. The Natural Wood Floor Company has a beautiful selection, but if you want a white floor and you're lucky enough to have floorboards in good condition, try Ecos Organic's hardwearing floor paint. Floor tiles are also a great way to achieve a white finish using natural materials. The Limestone Gallery will cut and finish their extensive range to your specifications. A rug in bleached cowhide or with variation in pile depth will add another layer of texture to the room.
Soft Furnishings: The White Company has layering pretty much sewn up, with a sumptuous range of cushions and throws in cashmere and chunky knits, hand-quilted cotton and silk, each with individual textural details. White leather can look stunning, but to avoid the Miami effect, go for a design classic like Robin Day's Forum sofa. Reissued by Habitat, the wooden side panels in ash or walnut soften the bright white Italian leather.
Accessories: Anything geometric or highly textured will take advantage of the striking contrasts of light and shade achieved in white. JDS Architects' crushed bowls are particularly impressive, while the quirky and tactile pottery animals in Jonathan Adler's Menagerie add a sense of frivolity to a highly styled white home. A faceted Asteroid table lamp by Koray Ozgen will refract light across white walls, and the corrugated shades on George Nelson's wall sconces, reissued by Modernica, invite interesting shadows.
The Off-Whites
If you don't want to go all in for brilliant white, the off-white palette is softer and more forgiving, particularly in period homes. Fired Earth and Farrow and Ball offer excellent choice in off-whites and subtle shades. Particularly lovely are Bone White at Fired Earth and Pale Powder at Farrow and Ball. For wood and metalwork go for a brilliant white gloss to create a contrast or for a complementary look, go two shades lighter or two shades darker than the walls. A brilliant white ceiling will make the room feel larger. Choose accessories and soft furnishings in varying tones in the off-white palette for a calm and relaxing space. The Rug Company has a particularly good collection of cushions, wallhangings and pale carpets.
Living with white can be liberating, stylish and practical. Have a go, and if the worst happens, it's the easiest colour to paint over.
Our weekly pick of interior blogs...
by Catherine Gregg on May 26, 2010 | 0 comments
We've been roaming the highways and byways of the internet for inspirational interiors blogs, and we haven't come home empty-handed.
Top of the list of picturesque pit stops this week is the fabulously titled Domicidal Maniac. The maniac in question is Washington-based interior designer and window dresser, Scott Fanzzini. This is window-shopping in the virtual world, with inspiration at every turn: new designers, envy inducing interiors, style crushes and all manner of good-looking things (including Mr Fanzzini, I might add). He's also got a penchant for old movies – check out this post celebrating the set designs on How To Marry a Millionaire.
Next stop on the scenic route is Diary of a Wandering Eye. Another American boy with eclectic tastes, this anonymous blogger will lead you on a wanton chase through a landscape of visual delights. The Covet section left me slack-jawed with desire, especially for Greg Kulharic's ceramic vegetable pots. Whoever this wandering eye belongs to it knows where to look. And with a jaunty writing style, the hand's not bad either. The boy's got style in spades – just look at the fantasy musings and scrapbook photos in the My Future Home series.
Back in Blighty, there's time to stop off for a pot of Earl Grey and a cucumber sandwich with Lynne at Tea for Joy. Dedicated to two of my favourite things – tea and vintage - this one's right up my street. And it really is a joy to behold – a reverie of teashops and teacups, patterns and prints, fifties furniture and beautiful British designs [http://teaforjoy.blogspot.com/2010/02/roddy-and-ginger.html].
That's it for this week, but remember, if you write your own interiors blog get in touch and we'll flag it up next time.
Fifties Floral Print Cushions from Graham & Green
by Catherine Gregg on May 18, 2010 | 0 comments
Add a touch of vintage glamour with these sumptuous velvet cushions from Graham & Green. £52
Just the thing Grace Kelly might have had in her boudoir, these 1950s rose-print cushions in plush velvet are wonderfully nostalgic. In a sophisticated vintage colour palette of brown, blush pink and green, they're as stylish as they are homely, bringing period charm to a room.
Plump and luxurious, with a duck feather filling, you can just imagine sinking into them on a sofa. And they'd look great in a bedroom, on an upholstered chair or scattered on the bed. But my favourite's got to be that circular floor cushion, resplendent in all its portly glory. It's so gorgeously squat. I want to fling open a door and find it winking at me in the corner of the room. Alas and alack, it's not in stock at the moment, but I'm told it'll be back in June.
The calming colour palette, tactile fabric and fabulous vintage pattern on these cushions strike the perfect balance of style and comfort. I'm smitten.
Stamp Collection Mugs from Utility
by Catherine Gregg on May 20, 2010 | 0 comments
Earl Grey's in first class company with these Stamp Collection Mugs from Utility. £10.95
Featuring the iconic image of the Queen on UK stamps, these striking mugs have vindicated my pastime. Stamp collecting is officially cool.
I don't mind admitting that I collected stamps as a child and I still save envelopes if I like the designs. So I felt just a little bit smug when I saw these Stamp Collection Mugs from Utility. Representing the best of graphic design in miniature, I don't even know why stamp collecting is seen as such a turn off.
But anyway, rather than go on a rant I'll let the mugs speak for themselves. Choose from the 'Sent with Love' version featuring the classic red first class stamp in a repeat pattern, or go large with a single stamp on the front and back of the 'First Class' version. And if you still don't believe in the inherent coolness of stamps, check out the fabulous original colours on the different denominations wrapping round the 'Multi Stamp' mug.
Put the kettle on and have a first class cuppa.
Soho Streets Rug from Sheerhome
by Catherine Gregg on May 22, 2010 | 0 comments
Get some street style at home with this stunning Soho map rug from Sheerhome. £399.99
Every man needs a globe and every house needs a map. Buck the trend for wall maps with this fantastic rug from Sheerhome, taken from the Soho streets.
Maps and globes are such captivating objects with a beauty all their own. It's something about the charm of the miniature, and viewing a vast expanse stripped back to its formal elements. The pared down monochrome palette of this Soho Streets rug gives it a contemporary edge, revealing the streets as pure pattern.
It's amazing how much a rug can transform a room and this one makes a real statement. Ideal for a home office or adding instant impact to the living room, being monochrome it could fit in almost anywhere. And Sheerhome will even customize the size for you. All their rugs are made to order.
For such a distinctive design, hand made in 100% wool with a thick, dense pile, this rug is fantastically good value. Time to raid the piggy bank.
Our weekly roundup of interiors blogs
by Catherine Gregg on May 17, 2010 | 0 comments
It's that time again where we pick out our favourite interiors blogs from around the globe.
First up this week is all-American blog Simply Seleta. Full of ideas for creative interiors projects and illustrated with beautiful photographs, it's a really uplifting read (as long as you're not the jealous type – check out these beach photos). The work of a designer mom of four, it's a lifestyle blog with an emphasis on homemaking, daydreaming, and taking inspiration from daily life. But expect to find a bit of everything – this lady is real magpie. Taking in yard sales, road trips, and all kinds of interiors, you could spend all day on here, living the American dream vicariously.
In my American dream I'm a cowboy on a wild-west ranch, but failing that I'll settle for this amazing Texan castle posted on Carolina Eclectic. If you're a bit of voyeur when it comes to other people's homes (I failed my driving test by looking into living rooms rather than at the road), then the 'Look Inside' section of this blog is perfect. You get to follow Carolina into wherever she's been, wallow in the photographs and pick up some ideas along the way.
The final pick this week is the fabulously camp House of Beauty and Culture. This catty post on Gerard Butler's dubious design choices can't fail to amuse. With a 'now playing' note beneath most posts, and a play list spanning Rick Astley and Kate Bush to Mahler and Nick Cave, the content is just as eclectic, taking in auction finds (and disappointments), design icons rediscovered, out of print interiors books and new exhibitions. I love this cultural rundown of 1979.
As always, if you write your own design blog, get in touch and we'll give you a nod next time.
Havana Outdoor Pendant from Holloways of Ludlow
by Alexandra Thomas on May 16, 2010 | 0 comments
Create a dramatic lighting scheme in your garden with this Havana Pendant Light from Holloways of Ludlow. £255
You may remember that a few weeks ago I said that you shouldn't bother with electrical lights in the garden and that tea lights and hurricane lamps are all you need to add illumination to your outdoor space.
Well, you won't hear me say this very often but I was wrong.
And that was because I hadn't yet found the Havana pendant lamps from Holloways of Ludlow.
To say they're beautiful is an understatement; they will turn your garden from the dull to the sublime and add a warming glow for good measure.
These elegant columns are available in White and Yellow and are sure to have your neighbours peering over the fence.
Try hanging them from a gazebo or arch and then sit back and admire them.
Now if you'll excuse me, I'm off to eat humble pie and flick through the Yellow Pages for a good electrician...

I came to recovery a very broken woman: homeless and hopeless. I had squandered everything and hurt everyone who mattered to me, and my health was poor. I finally found a long-term program that met my needs and had an emphasis on giving back.
Today, I am the director of that program. My life has been restored and helping others in recovery is my purpose in life. I have my sons and four wonderful grandchildren. I own a home, and I have more work helping others than I can possibly imagine. This year, my youngest son is celebrating his second year of sobriety, and I am celebrating my 15th.
My motto has become "Trust God, Clean House, and Help Others." If you do those simple things and never stop working on yourself, life holds great promise. I never want to forget where I came from, as I do not want to return to that misery. Addiction is a disease that ravages entire families, and I must never forget that. Staying clean and sober is simple, but not easy.
Recovery Month promotes the societal benefits of prevention, treatment, and recovery for mental and substance use disorders, celebrates people in recovery, lauds the contributions of treatment and service providers, and promotes the message that recovery in all its forms is possible. Recovery Month spreads the positive message that behavioral health is essential to overall health, that prevention works, treatment is effective and people can and do recover.
National Recovery Month 2014

And once again, the passage out of 1995 and into 1996 was marked by the change of bad pun subjects into reacting chains and devils and hell towards the end of the year. Admittedly, seeing as how they were located at the end of the year, it wasn't so much a passage from 1995 to 1996 as from 1996 to 1997. Er.
Anyway, there are a few more articles on Dogstar here if you're interested in them.

Chinook Winds Are True 'Snow Eaters'
A: You sometimes hear of "Chinook winds." What are they?
Q: Chinook winds are those that bring warm air to an area and temperatures can rise in a hurry, says Brent McRoberts of Texas A&M University. "Chinook is an Indian word meaning 'snow eater' and that's exactly what these types of winds do," McRoberts explains. "Chinook winds usually occur in the Rocky Mountain states and throughout Canada. They form after a very intense cold spell and they can be remarkably fast in raising temperatures. In 1972 in Loma, Montana, a Chinook wind raised the temperature from -54 degrees to 49 degrees, the greatest temperature change ever in the United States, in a 24-hour period."
Q: Are Chinook winds strong?
A: They can be very strong, adds McRoberts. "Chinook winds tend to sweep down the sides of mountain ranges and they can reach hurricane force," he says. "In Alberta, Canada, a Chinook wind was clocked at 107 miles per hour in 1962 when it raised the temperature more than 30 degrees in one hour. Chinook winds have been known to derail trains in Canadian mountain passes. They can also produce spectacular cloud formations called archs, which have bright, distinctive colors like few other clouds. "

Alphonse Mucha (July 14, 1860-July 24, 1939) was born in the Southern Moravian town of Ivan_ice in the present-day Czech Republic, and is widely considered to be the master of the Czech Art Nouveau style. Mucha's distinctive posters and advertisements, many featuring female figures, are notable for their creative use of color palettes, intricate gilding, and lettering. His love and study of drawing began at an early age, and his artistic education continued when, in 1887, he moved to Paris, to study and work producing illustrations for advertisements and magazines. In the early 1890s, Mucha began designing posters featuring the actress Sarah Bernhardt, gaining him widespread success. In addition to his advertisements for liquors, cigarettes, and theatrical events, Mucha is known for his serial prints, which cover a range of subjects such as the four seasons, the times of day, and the arts. Though his style was considered outdated at the time of his death, his lithographs and posters have become internationally recognized for their importance to the Art Nouveau movement.

Good News for Affiliated Foods Creditors
Posted 11/5/2012 12:00 am
Updated 2 years ago
Financial experts who recently combed through emails of defunct Affiliated Foods Southwest Inc. of Little Rock uncovered a goldmine of information.
Through Oct. 17, that information was used to gather $3.2 million for Affiliated's creditors. Plus, based on the information unearthed, vendors agreed to waive $721,000 worth of claims against Affiliated.
The money collected came from Affiliated vendors who were paid within 90 days before Affiliated filed for bankruptcy. Bankruptcy law forbids making preferential payments to some vendors while stiffing others.
And there's more good news for Affiliated's creditors. More than 100 cases are "in progress and are expected to yield substantial additional cash benefit to the Estate," Bankruptcy Trustee Richard Cox of Hot Springs reported to the court.
Cox asked the bankruptcy court to approve the $170,882 bill it received from the team at Lain Faulkner & Co. of Dallas, which did the investigation. Lain was hired to search for "unusual payment activity" by Affiliated in the months before it filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy protection in May 2009. The bill represented Lain's work done between March and August.
Affiliated Foods reported annual revenue of $730 million in the fiscal year that ended June 30, 2008, the last full year of operation before it sought bankruptcy protection for $47.6 million in assets and $101.5 million in debt — $62.5 million of it unsecured.
The fallout from the company's collapse included prison sentences for former CEO John Mills and former CFO Alexander "Lex" Martinez. Mills was released in June, after serving about 18 months of a 41-month sentence. Martinez, who was sentenced to one year, was released from Bureau of Prisons supervision on Oct. 18.
The court record doesn't indicate why Mills was able to get out so early, and the U.S. Attorney's Office in Little Rock didn't reply to questions by our deadline, but his testimony against Martinez probably had something to do with it.

I am moving a way from my hometown in less than a month (grew up & went to college her)and am ready to start my new life. I often get hung up on all the details of moving and finding a job; it can be very stressful and draining at times.

You and I are at different stages in life as I am 23 and just starting out (I do eventually want a family of my own), yet your attitude about life is refreshing and inspiring to me. Your type of positivity is what I am aiming for in my life. Your down-to-earth attitude and ability to live in the moment allow me to relate to you and want to be a better person. You remind me that no matter what happens in life, things are going to be okay.

I am a recovering addict. Addiction. . . to anything and everything. . . has been a way of life for me. . . FOR YEARS AND YEARS. Recently, in and through a drug induced mind fog, I realized that I'm not really living. . . I'm not fully alive. Oh sure, I get up daily and sort of go through the motions, but I haven't really been livin' - the kind of livin' you and your beautiful family do daily. I'm happy to report that I got help. I'm in recovery. And you and your blog are keeping me there. I can't start my day until I read from your blog. It gives me the courage, the beauty, the optimism I lack internally to "do life" without using. I fully believe that God is using you in huge. . . HUGE. . . ways. . . ways you probably know nothing of. Currently, I am reading Bloom, and I want to thank you for being brave enough to write your "real" "raw" "truth", because it's helping me to live my "real" "raw" "truth". I firmly believe that everyone should have a Nella in their life. But since most of us aren't that blessed, I'd like to thank you from the bottom of my heart for sharing yours with all of us.

Naum Gabo It's On EP
- Words: Nathan Albert
- Label: Let's Play House
- XLR8R Rating: 7.5/10
The sometimes dirty phrase "DJ tool" comes to mind when thinking about Naum Gabo's latest release, and that's not because the It's On EP contains brutally minimal, questionably soulful tracks produced in the name of practicality—no, quite the contrary. But many of the players involved in releasing this EP are specifically known as world-class DJs before they're thought of as producers. J.G. Wilkes, one-half of Naum Gabo, is also one-half of giant Scottish DJ outfit Optimo; the Let's Play House imprint was developed out of an NYC party series put on by long-time DJs Jacques Renault and Nik Mercer in partnership with Throne of Blood, a label run by fellow New York DJ veteran James Friedman. Thus, the work is born from the womb of the house DJ elite, and is likely meant to be delivered into the same community.
It feels kind of trite to place emphasis on ideas of construction in this overtly mechanical/machine-driven genre, but for Naum Gabo, those notions are particularly at the forefront of its work. The Glaswegian duo derives its name from a Russian sculptor who was influential to Constructivism, an art movement which—among other things—was focused on "kinetic" forms of art that were meant to be experienced in a social setting. It's no stretch to apply that philosophy to the modern dancefloor, so here we are with "Ay & Oh" and "It's On," Naum Gabo's two original productions on the EP.
Both tracks build up, break down, drop, and deconstruct within about six minutes at a 120-and-change bpm. They are clean, analog-centric productions, both developed around basslines that don't travel much or cause too much dissonance, but rather erupt on a detuned synth tone in a constant tonal center. House DJ practicality aside, these works have personable and personal character. "Ay & Oh" spurts out raw, unstable synth squeals that distort the mix, and it utilizes sampled vocal bursts to express the track's vibrant energy. On "It's On," a tart, funky bassline beautifully and subtly complements the track's more prominent electro motives.
While Naum Gabo infers a specific artistic concept with its moniker, Tevo Howard invokes a specific artistic philosophy in all of his productions. His remix of "It's On" serves as another document of the producer's brand of humanized Chicago house, following his latest XLR8R Pick'd Monument EP and an XLR8R podcast. The production, clearly rooted in vintage hardware (TR-707s and 727s come to mind, in particular), takes the original track and gives it a more uncompressed, imperfect spin. The digital release comes with an "Acid Remix," too, which seems quite similar to the original remix, with the exception of the bassline being substituted with a 303-sounding squelch. Like the rest of Naum Gabo's It's On EP, this final inclusion is a successful aesthetic move made with the DJ in mind.

Naval Bud
From the Super Mario Wiki
Naval Buds are young Piranha Plant enemies that first appeared in Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island. They grow out of Naval Piranha, which has two of them. In battle, the Naval Buds move towards the Blue Yoshi and leap straight up to hit it; Yoshi cannot destroy them, though they do not pose much of a threat.
In Tetris Attack, two Naval Buds were Naval Piranha's partners.
Naval Buds are similar to Lava Buds.

Ernest Bale
Ernest William Bale (18 September 1878 – 6 July 1952) was an English cricketer who played 148 first-class matches between 1904 and 1920, the great majority of these (138) being for Worcestershire, for whom he was the first-choice wicket-keeper for several years before the First World War. Roy Genders considered that Bale's keeping in 1911, when Worcestershire came ninth in the County Championship — their best finish until 1939 — "contributed greatly towards such an excellent season". Bale played for Surrey's Second XI in the Minor Counties Championship as early as June 1902, but his first-class debut came exactly two years later, when he appeared for London County against Leicestershire at Crystal Palace Park. He had a quiet match, claiming the single dismissal of Harry Whitehead and scoring 4* and 22*. Later that month, Bale made his Surrey debut, against Oxford University at The Oval, and for the remainder of the season he divided his time between Surrey and London County. There then followed a significant gap in his first-class career. London County's first-class days were at an end, and Bale had the misfortune to be a contemporary at Surrey with Herbert Strudwick.

We cannot Unbind Computers from the people in the modern world. It's combined with all the activities of people in their daily life .We can categorize the usage of computer into two types
They are
All the programming, Data storage, Internet and all the official works comes under Business Rest of all the activities like Chatting, browsing, Listening to music and watching video's and gaming Etc comes under Entertainment. Now a days There are "n" number of computer manufacturers available in the market .They are delivering new technologies in their products to get more market .everyday they are trying to deliver new features in their product to their customers. It shrunk the world- "yes we can access through computer any thing in the world, for example long back to access your bank account you need to go to bank and you have to wait for a long while to do your work ,but now most of the banks giving opportunity to access their account through net banking we cab use this feature via internet .Overall this we can conclude people can't live without computers.

Dr. Michael Ullman from the Department of Neuroscience from Georgetown University visited Beijing Normal University last week. I attended his talk entitled "What Rats can tell us about Language: Contributions of Declarative and Procedural Memory to Language". He began with a general overview of the two memory systems, declarative and procedural memory. Declarative memory is the "what", and can be divided into episodic (personal experiences) and semantic memory (facts). Procedural memory is the "how" and is responsible for the learning and control of motor and cognitive skills. He emphasized some subtle differences between the two memory systems; speed of learning and retention. Declarative memory involves quick learning with a moderate retention rate, while Procedural memory relies on a more gradual learning process but has an excellent retention rate (Maybe that's where the quote "It's like riding a bike" comes from!).
Both systems involve navigation but in different ways; landmark-based navigation is declarative memory while route-learning navigation is procedural memory. This distinction supports the idea that these memory systems are cooperatively redundant mechanisms. The opposing position is that declarative and procedural memory systems work competitively. Dr. Ullman used the analogy of a see-saw- as one goes up, the other goes down. Estrogen is shown to help declarative memory and to inhibit procedural memory. This finding suggests that the competitive theory is at play. The talk then moved into distinctions among sex, handedness, first and second languages as it relates to the memory systems. In general, females tend to have better declarative memory and males have better procedural memory. Procedural dysfunctions, such as dyslexia and SLI, affect males more than females. Perhaps, this could support the see-saw effect theory. In this case, females would be better able to compensate for the loss in procedural memory because they tend to have a stronger declarative memory than men. He also discussed how frequency effects can show if declarative or procedural memory is being used. Declarative storage assumes that the information is stored as a whole, where you would see frequency effects, while procedural memory assumes composition and shows no such effects. His research looks at the frequency effects for regular and irregular past tense verbs for males vs. females.
I also went on some great trips with Dr. Ullman! One that stands out was the trip to the Great Wall. Dr. Ullman insisted that we try to hike the most difficult and dangerous section of the Wall, called Jiankou. Dr. Guo, Taoran (a graduate student in my lab), and I accepted the challenge. It was the most beautiful and difficult hike I have ever been on. Dr. Guo and I overcame our fear of heights and were able to enjoy the breathtaking views. It was a great time and highly recommend it to any adventurous future PIRE student going to China!

In your opinion, how long should we try "naturally" and is it even worthwhile to try IUI? We're having a hard time gauging how quickly we should move with this given we are otherwise considered "young".
Any help you can provide would be much appreciated.

We had a poor fertilization rate, with just 3/5 through ICSI. Apparently ICSI solves everything, our doc said, so you have a good shot with ICSI. Don't waste your time on IUIs. They add up in cost, waste time and put your body through the stress of meds with little chance of success. We were given about 8% odds. That's a 92% failure rate! Just my two cents. Good luck!

Just wanted to let you know that my hubby has only 2% morph and his counts are normally between 40 million and 60 million / ml with normal-low volume (only 1-2 ml).
I have been pregnant many times (7 in the last two years), all natural cycles. So I think it could definitely happen for you. My hubby has 98% head defects with his morphology. His progression is very good though, at 3-4. Unfortunately, I haven't had a successful pregnancy as some have been chromosonal, and others early losses- but it CAN happen for you and you are both young.
Is he on vitamins now? I found vitamins and varicocele surgery greatly improved my hubby's progression rating (it was never bad, but there was an improvement with vitamins). There are so many out there - but we found FertiliAid and NOW Foods Adam's Men's Superior Multi to be fantastic, along with additional CoQ10, Vitamin C, E and L-Carnitine (he also gets a lot of L-Arginine from his protein shakes, etc.). Just thought I'd mention in case you wish to try on your own for a bit. Not sure how long you have been trying, but if no luck naturally after 2 years, I'd move right onto IVF w/ ICSI and skip the IUI's.
Best of luck to you!
Me: 29 Hubby: 35
TTC #1 since August 2008 (5 years)
My homepage: http://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/Lindseyspage
Me: DX blocked tubes in July 2009 - Right tube opened with pressure, left tube remained blocked. DX mild endometriosis (stage II) during LAP in January 2013 - much of the endo was cauterized.
Him: DX bilateral varicoceles in August 2010 - surgery successful (we have MFI issues - morphology at 2-3%)Karotyping, blood work, diagnostic tests - all normal
Pregnancies: 8+ (many chemicals) - all natural, 1 in 2010 (3 months post-op for DH) and 6 in 2011, a few early chemicals in 2012/2013. All ended in miscarriage.
Recurrent Pregnancy Loss: unexplained. 1 baby passed at 10 weeks due to Triploidy, 68 XXX -21.
Clomid: 8 cycles (BFN), COH +IUI - 1 cycle, BFN
AART - Halifax, NS - IVF w/ ICSI #1 - August 2012. Great response, excellent lining, 14 eggs retrieved. 13 eggs mature, and 12 fertilized. All had excellent grades until Day 5 - Day 5, we were left with 5 good ones, graded 20/20 (hatching), 19/20 (expanded), 18/20 (expanded) and 15/20, 14/20. One 20/20 blast transferred (we wanted to transfer 2, but RE recommended one) and 4 frozen, resulting in a BFN. DH and I devastated, and exploring international adoption and further immune testing / treatment.
I requested another LAP to see if anything has changed (mild endo found and cauterized Jan. 2013).
BFP!! - April 2013 - 3 months post-LAP and on a Letrozole (Femara) cycle (natural cycle, no trigger, normal BD). Faint BFP very early, at 7 DPO (a full week before AF was due) - earliest BFP yet!

I find that IUI was a waste of time and money. Also with that morphology level, it is highly recommended to do ICSI and not just plain IVF.
The problem with sperm with low morphology, especially head defects, that they may carry abnormal DNA. If one of the abnormal ones wins the race and gets into the egg first, it may cause an abnormal embryo . Such embryo may not even start to splitting, or you miscarry it at early stage because it is not viable.
DH tried all the vitamins, minerals, l carnitine, acupuncture Chinese herbs and what not , but nothing changed the morphology level. All those natural remedies did is to increase count and motility, which was not our main problem.
I also suspect genetic factors in low morphology, because DH's dad is an only child and conceived after 10+ yrs of marriage at the time when contraception was not available.

If you can afford it I would go straight to IVF with ICSI. ICSI greatly increases the chances as the embryologist chooses the best looking sperm to fertilize the egg. There are other procedures which may help if the sperm aren't normal - PICSI and calcium ionophore. However these procedures are generally only used when there is 100% abnormal sperm heads.
I wish you lots of luck! The whole process is hard emotionally, physically and financially. All the best.
Been ttc for 4 years

If you want a smart phone, the Omnia is the way to go. If you just want a regular phone with a few cool features, go for the Krave.

Charge of the Tenth Cavalry Unit
Battle of San Juan Hill
Despite the fact that the Rough Riders and the Buffalo Soldiers shared the victory and despite the attention that gravitated toward Theodore Roosevelt, the post-battle spotlight shone brightly on the Buffalo Soldiers. Since the Reorganization Act of 1866, their regiments had mainly served in the remotest corners of the West. But Cuba was different. For the first time the Buffalo Soldiers stood front and center on the national stage. A number of mainstream periodicals recounted their exploits, as nurses in the yellow fever hospital at Siboney as well as on the battlefield, and reviewed their history, mostly favorably.
In an age of increasing racism that was hardening into institutionalized segregation through the South and affecting the lives of black Americans everywhere, the Buffalo Soldiers were heroes. Poetry, dramas and songs all celebrated their service and valor.
This lithograph from the Maryland Litho Co. is an example of artwork commemorating the Buffalo Soldier. Lithograph circa 1899.

We love these creative -- and funny! -- Elf on a Shelf ideas that help Santa's little helper travel around the house this season.

From Thanksgiving until Christmas, the Elf on the Shelf watches your boys and girls during the day and then flies to the North Pole at night to report on who has been bad or good. Each morning, he reappears in a different place in the house -- which he, err, you set up. To make this month-long daily routine more fun, try these awesome Elf on the Shelf ideas from our fave bloggers.
Morning ScrabbleSanta wanted him to write this message, but it's only worth 19 points. You can get creative with what your write: For instance, you can spell out "Merry Christmas!" "Santa sends his love!" Or try ones specific to your kid: "Be a good boy and you'll get that bicycle you really want!"

This is mine right now:
Screencaps of my Illustrator and InDesign panels from CS6 so I can recreate them in my new CC versions without having to resort to (my admittedly terrible) memory. Has already led to uber-confusion as I try to access the controls by clicking on the desktop image *predictable*.
And before you ask, yes I did search for a way to migrate the workspaces from CS6 to CC, but there is no simple method (get your finger out, Adobe).
Bread is for wimps.
We just ate the Hot Meat.
Of all the Al's in the world, Baik is our fave

Photo Credit: NEW LINE / THE KOBAL COLLECTION
When we think of our favorite love scenes or hysterical romantic-comedy moments, most of our picks are films that feature Rachel McAdams.
We cried our hearts out during The Notebook as Allie (McAdams) and Noah (Ryan Gosling) were torn apart by their social classes, and we laughed out loud as John (Owen Wilson) tried to convince Claire (McAdams) to be with him despite his mischievous past in Wedding Crashers.
Now the actress is back with her latest flick, About Time, and we can't wait to add this one to our list! Watch clips of her best rom-com moments (so far!).
'About Time'
Courtesy of YouTubeWhen Tim (Domhnall Gleeson) learns from his father (Bill Nighy) that the men in his family have the ability to travel through time, Tim dedicates his new power to the one thing that will make his life perfect: a girlfriend. Tim meets Mary (McAdams) and they fall in love. But a time-travel accident soon erases their time together. He later learns that he can't always travel back in time to fix all of life's heartaches. In the clip, see what happens when Mary's parents unexpectedly come for a visit.
'The Notebook'
Courtesy of YouTubeAfter Noah (Gosling) meets Allie (McAdams) in the summer of 1946, they begin a whirlwind romance that viewers can only dream of. As the summer comes to an end, so does their relationship when Allie's upper-class status forces her parents to forbid the young couple from seeing each other. Noah writes Allie 365 letters, but all go unanswered. Seven years later, an engaged Allie learns that Noah bought and restored an old mansion that they used to dream of living in. She visits him, giving us the unforgettable rain scene.
'The Vow'
Courtesy of YouTubeIf we lost our memory and someone told us Channing Tatum was our husband, we wouldn't question it! When Paige (McAdams) suffers memory loss from a car crash, she remembers her estranged family and past boyfriend, but not her husband Leo (Tatum). As Leo tries everything to help Paige remember their relationship, she finds comfort in her past, especially with her ex-boyfriend. In Leo and Paige's wedding scene, we get a glimpse of how in love they really were before the accident. Can love conquer all -- even a head injury?
'Mean Girls'
Courtesy of YouTubeIn girl world, you never go after your friend's ex-boyfriend, especially if he's the Queen of the Plastics' ex. When Regina (McAdams) agrees to tell Aaron (Jonathan Bennett) that Cady (Lindsay Lohan) has a crush on him, she instead makes him take her back, forcing Cady to seek revenge and take down the Plastics once and for all.
'The Time Traveler's Wife'
Courtesy of YouTubeRelationships are hard. Throw in a husband who time travels into the mix, and you have a recipe for heartache. Henry (Eric Bana) is a time traveler who has known Claire (McAdams) all of her life. He can't control when or where he travels to, but big events pull him in. According to Claire, "I was a big event." The two eventually get married and have a child, but Henry's constant traveling leaves Claire alone most of the time. In the final scene of the film, Claire sees Henry for the first time in four years. Get out the tissues!
'Wedding Crashers'
Courtesy of YouTubeJohn (Wilson) and Jeremy (Vince Vaughn) are professional wedding crashers who strive to sleep with as many girls as possible during wedding season. John unexpectedly falls for Claire (McAdams), and he spends the weekend with her crazy family to win her heart. When Claire discovers that John crashes weddings, he must find a way to make her forgive him. See how John hysterically talks his way out of this one.
'Morning Glory'
Courtesy of YouTubeWhen Becky (McAdams) gets fired from her job, she accepts a position as a television producer at the struggling morning show Daybreak. From convincing Mike (Harrison Ford) to accept the anchor position, to finding ways to increase plummeting ratings, Becky doesn't notice that love is right before her eyes with Adam (Patrick Wilson). Watch as she awkwardly explains her feelings for Adam.
