A Colorful Door & More Nursery Art
At two weeks from my due date we're checking off a few more lingering nursery updates, like painting the closet door a bright happy color, organizing the clutter within…
… making/hanging some more art, and changing our minds in the curtain arena (you know we love a good final-hour switcheroo).
The green closet door was heavily influenced by Clara, who kept saying "my baby will like a colored door like mine but not pink" – and since a bold green door was originally in our plan back in January (which we mentioned to Clara, hence her obsession) we decided to stop hemming and hawing and just go for it.
After hanging our apple-green curtains and adding a kelly green sheet to the changing table, we worried a bright door between them would be too much. But the realization that we already had some breezy Ikea curtains from our last house meant we had nothing to lose by tossing those up to see how they looked (they used to hang on the deck sliders, but came down when we got french doors).
Although I couldn't recoup the time I spent making the colorful curtains, they were under $10 a pop, so it seemed silly to stay married to them at the expense of losing something else we had all looked forward to in the room. And I pulled off the faux-changing-pad-cover (just a fabric remnant I tossed on to picture what a green cover might look like) when we decided a bright closet door was too hard to resist.
We still think the curtains need something (I want to line them in blackout fabric, and maybe trim them on all sides with black or brown ribbon – maybe green? Not sure) but we're getting closer I think. And of course we still need to get a real changing pad cover, so that's on the list.
As for picking a green door color, we relied on our usual method of taping up contender swatches to see which one we liked best in a bunch of different lighting scenarios (early morning, afternoon, late at night with the light on, etc). The winner was Irish Moss by Benjamin Moore. Not too dark, not too light, not too neon, and not too yellow or blue.
I only needed a quart to get it done (I went with semi-gloss), even though it took three coats to get a nice shiny finish with good coverage. Bold colors like this tend to look horrific for the first coat or two and then magically shape up at the end. Tinted primer probably could have saved me one coat (in exchange for one coat of that) but I didn't have it on hand, so I just did three coats of paint instead. I applied the first one with a brush…
… but switched to a brush + small foam roller combo for the second two coats, just to knock things out a little faster. It's the same method we used on Clara's door (three coats of paint applied with a roller/brush combo) which has held up well for the last five months with heavy use so that's nice to know.
As for actually getting the closet ready, that just meant organizing things (lining up shoes, putting a few empty baskets on that top shelf for future use, placing some extra toys in a bin on the floor, and transferring excess clutter to the hall closet). The hall closet is a more spacious double-doored closet, so things that we won't use for a while like a bumbo and the play table can go in there. We're sure the nursery closet will evolve into more sophisticated storage as the baby grows (might add some cubbies, a basket system, or a reading area on the floor depending on our needs as we go), but it's nice to have a clean slate in there now.
We also had two nice wood frames that I wanted to hang on the curtain wall, so I was inspired by this no-longer-for-sale pear poster and just drew the shape in pencil on white foam core and used green & brown finger paint from Clara's stash. I'm sure as the bun grows we'll switch it out for a family picture or a subject/animal that he loves – but it's sweet to have something there for now.
To make the lettered "Love You Forever" message below that, I took inspiration from this print from a no-longer-in-business Etsy shop, and used black construction paper and a pencil. I sketched out the letters roughly, cut them out, and laid them on another white piece of foam core. I tried to keep them all similar in height, but I didn't get caught up in perfection, thanks to the charming irregularities in the inspiration print.
When I was done I showed John and he came up with the idea to add some color to the V's, so I used decorative paper from my craft closet and a glue stick to attach them all to the foam core. We both love how it came out – and you can't beat the price (free) or the amount of time it took (around fifteen minutes).
Since Clara has a print in her room that says "You Are So Loved" it feels nice to have a similar sentiment hanging in our son's room. Sniffle.
Aren't those wood frames nice with the stained top of the built-ins and the dark hardware on the drawers?
They also tie-in to the frames of the bike art and the changing table on the other side of the room, so there's more balance going on.
Speaking of wooden things, we found this cute rocker at a local thrift store called Consignment Connection for $15. Clara is obsessed (even though it looks fragile it easily holds her weight) and thinks her brother is going to LOVE it. Can't wait to see if she's right.
Slowly but surely, this room is coming along – we even think we have a plan for the wall behind the crib after this post o' brainstorming (thanks to everyone for their thoughts and ideas!). We might wait until the baby's here to knock that out, but in the meantime everything from the toys on the built-ins to those elephants marching across the crib sheets and our new green closet door is making us more excited than ever to bring home this little man of ours.
Even though we're not done in here, we worried we'd miss the chance to re-take our family picture before the bun is born (a tradition that we started with Clara), so here's the one we took when we started on the room back in January…
… and here's one that we snapped yesterday. Could I be more pregnant? I laughed and asked John if he inflated my bump in photoshop (or hid my legs). Turns out I just look like this and my belly really is that far out in front of me. #watermelonsmuggler
And just because I can't resist a good waaaay back shot, here's how the room looked before we moved in last summer.
Even though we still have a bunch of remaining to-do list items, it's definitely feeling more like a baby-ready space.
So our to-do list officially looks like this:
- get a changing pad cover
- line the curtains with blackout liner and add some sort of black/brown/green trim detail?
- tweak the wall behind the crib with wallpaper, a stencil, slatted wood, or some sort of accent color (we have a plan… we think…)
- make a woodsy little cuckoo clock (since I made one for Clara, I'd like to make a charming little rustic one for the bun as well)
- add an overhead light on a dimmer since nothing's there at all right now (wish we could check this off but we can't agree on a light we both like)
- possibly add a softly colored ceiling someday? maybe sky blue to add another color to the mostly green/yellow/neutral/white palette?
- add sconces to wall between the built-ins in a few years (we've decided these will be more functional after the crib is swapped out for a twin bed, to be used as reading lights)
Is anyone else making art? Having a curtain change of heart? Or painting something a bold, saturated color? We never could have guessed we'd have a bold foyer door along with two in our kids rooms, but they're proving to be somewhat addictive.
Psst- To read about all of the nursery updates from the beginning, here's how we painted all the pink trim, laid new hardwood floors, got a rug, painted the walls and ceiling, added built-ins to each corner of the crib wall, tackled some baby bedding, hung some extra thick crown molding, filled up the built-ins, made some curtains, added a cabinet for open storage and diaper changes, and made a mobile for over the crib.

Oh, this room in INCREDIBLE! You absolutely nailed it with the closet door color.
Wanted to toss in my two pennies' worth re the curtains – was thinking black & white stripe or dot ribbon trim would look really cool on those lovely breezy lighter curtains. Would tie in the hardware in the room (ORB knobs, curtain rod, etc) with the dots on the crib atm, plus I personally think that bright kelly green with black & white dots or stripes is super-chic in a kate spade-esque sort of way that seems to also fit y'all's aesthetic. :) Love from Chez Cadorette/Yarngeek land.
We have found that black flat bed sheets work great as blackout liners for curtains. You can even just clip them behind the curtains with the rings to save yourself the sewing :)
The room looks great!
Hi Sherry & John.
This room is turning out so lovely, it looks really warm and inviting. The colours you've chosen are great….especially the Irish Moss on the wardrobe (closet) door – me being an Irish girl I got a kick out of that :-)
Best wishes for your impending arrival in a couple of weeks. I hope you all enjoy getting to know your new baby and I'm sure Clara will be a fantastic big sister x
Hi y'all! With our first (also a boy) due in under three weeks, I just wanted to say thanks for letting me live vicariously through your nursery design! We're in a one bedroom (and, disregarding Patrick Swayze, we WILL be putting baby in a corner) and moving at the end of May, so not a lot of nesting going on. It's been a delight to see what y'all have done with your little man's space. All the best in the coming weeks!!
Love the room! I love the curtains as they are. And think a light grey changing pad cover would be cute! The room is
So darling! Good job!
Love the room! Can you let me know where you found the baskets for your square cubby storage? I am searching online to find cute options and so far all I found were the 3 sprout ones. What are the baskets and the boxes with lids? Thanks!!
The room looks amazing! I love the rocking horse. That's one luck baby!
I saw the square closet light in one of the photos and immediately had to ask – are you planning on changing out that light?
I have similar lights in my house and the glass diffuser blocks more light than I'd like, but I haven't figured out a solution yet.
Was thinking that the curtains would look great if you added a wide kelly green to the bottom — it would link the green on either side of the room without taking up the whole window… something like what Katie did in Weston's room (http://www.bowerpowerblog.com/2014/03/from-urkel-to-urquelle/) but in green.

This room looks incredible. The door color is spot on and I absolutely love the curtain swap, maybe I'm a little biased since I have the same ones in my office:). Every time you post about this room I become more obsessed with that rug. What a great find. Most of all, this room will be perfect for a little boy but most of the pieces will transition well as he gets older or have potential in other rooms in the house. An excellent bang for your buck.
Love the door color. What about one of those over-sized rulers to go on the wall between the door and window.
Oh Sherry! I said it with the last pic you guys took in the nursery and I'll say it again—you are absolutely stunning. Lots of good vibes going out to you all in these final weeks before your boy gets here.
Oh, I like this so much better! I adore the door, and I really like those curtains over the green… it all just feels like it works better this way.
And your belly and your family are stunningly beautiful. Wishing you all happy healthy baby days ahead!
I love it! What a beautiful room you've created for your little man. I really liked the green curtains, but think the white ones with the green door look even better. Great job.
Hi Petersiks!
The new nursery is gorgeous – and so are you, Sherry!!!
You mentioned possibly painting the ceiling down the road – Benjamin Moore's 2014 Color of the Year is called Breath of Fresh Air and might be just what you are looking for. It is a light blue. I'm going to use it in a guest bedroom with charcoal bedding and a turquoise-ish picture. It seems to enhance the greens in the picture. I painted a poster board as a tester for the room and it isn't nearly as blue as I thought it would be, especially with sunshine – just very subtle. Anyway, just a suggestion.
Best wishes for a safe, happy and health delivery and new addition!
GAH I LOVE EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS. I wanted to like those neon curtains, I really did, but I think you made a good call with the more neutral patterned ones. I do wonder though, what's going on with the wall to the left of the wall-o-built-ins? I'm not sure if we've seen that angle at all yet!
Good call on the green door and the lighter curtains. What a sweet room to bring baby home too! Don't forget the receiving blanket trick you used when you brought your daughter home so your dear doggie can accept the new baby as readily. He is older now and I am sure more set in his ways!
I love it. The green door is adorable, and the cut sign too. I love the curtains as they are, they really let the other things stand out without trying to steal the show. Curtains are always the trickiest, I usually go through several pairs before I find the perfect ones. I've stopped sewing them, until I've had the fabric tacked up for a couple weeks and can feel really committed to it. (Not that they are hard to sew, LOL.)
His room looks great! All it needs is the barnacle and it will be perfect. You guys will definitely be in my thoughts these next couple weeks!
This room is looking awesome! I LOVE that green door!! Since I work at a lighting store I just can't help myself here…but I'm envisioning an oil rubbed bronze fixture with some sort of clear or seeded glass. Maybe something like these:
As always, I can't wait to see what you end up with :)
I have the same rocker! It was mine as a kid and when my parents were recently moving, they found it in the attic. Can't wait to put it in a nursery someday.
What about brown pom pom fringe for the curtains?
I'm so so glad you went with the green door and curtain switcheroo. It looks amazing! I am dying to paint something that color green. We are building an island in our kitchen and I really wanted that to be green but hubby vetoed that so now I'm looking for something else I can greenify. I think a narrow black trim on those curtains would look really good or even dark blue. Can't wait to see what you decide to do on the crib wall too.
Looks so great!!! So cozy and sleep-inducing (for your all's sake, I hope so) :).

Taxes: President Obama is dressing up his corporate tax reform plan as a way to boost economic growth. But you don't have to look hard to see this for what it is: a brazenly cynical attempt to boost his re-election chances.
In announcing Obama's tax reform "framework" — which would lower the corporate rate to 28% and close loopholes — Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner tried to depict it as a genuine effort to improve the economy.
"We think there's a compelling economic case" for corporate tax reform, he told Congress last week.
On Wednesday, he added the current system is "bad for economic growth and job creation" and that reform would "make us more competitive and create jobs here at home" and "boost growth."
There's no question we desperately need corporate tax reform. The current code trades a too-high rate of 35% — the OECD average rate is 25% and falling — for a myriad of loopholes that distort business decisions and dampen growth. The resulting tax law is so monstrously complex that businesses spend up to $85 billion a year just to figure out what they owe.
Obama's own recovery board, his debt commission and his jobs council all called for him to fix these problems as a way to boost economic growth.
Obama himself mentioned the need for tax reform "to help our companies compete" in his January 2011 State of the Union speech.
But the half-baked proposal he finally offered this week is nothing more than a political ploy designed to inoculate him against charges of being anti-business.
After all, if Obama truly believed in the "compelling" case for tax reform, why did he wait three years into his term to suddenly make it a priority? Particularly when he knows full well that the chances of a major tax code overhaul eight months before a presidential election are virtually nil.
And if he was serious about reform, Obama would have come up with a better plan than the dog Geithner outlined Wednesday. Among its glaring problems:
It doesn't lower the rate enough to do any good. Even with a federal rate of 28%, corporate taxes would still exceed most OECD countries when you add in state taxes. That's hardly enough to justify killing off loopholes and raising the overall corporate tax burden on U.S. companies.
It continues to play favorites. Geithner complains in one breath that the current code is "fundamentally unfair" because "subsidies flow to certain industries and not others." But in the very next breath he says Obama's plan would favor manufacturers with a special low rate, "advanced manufacturing" with a still lower one, and "green" energy companies with special tax credits.
It would penalize multinationals that keep profits overseas by imposing a new "minimum tax" on foreign earnings, giving U.S. firms a strong incentive to move their operations to more welcoming climes.
Obama is constantly bemoaning cynicism in politics. But his phony tax reform plan shows he's the worst offender.

Dissident Women: Gender and Cultural Politics in Chiapas
Yielding pivotal new perspectives on the indigenous women of Mexico,Dissident Women: Gender and Cultural Politics in Chiapaspresents a diverse collection of voices exploring the human rights and gender issues that gained international attention after the first public appearance of the Zapatista National Liberation Army (EZLN) in 1994. Drawing from studies on topics ranging from the daily life of Zapatista women to the effect of transnational indigenous women in tipping geopolitical scales, the contributors explore both the personal and global implications of indigenous women's activism. The Zapatista movement and the Women's Revolutionary Law, a charter that came to have tremendous symbolic importance for thousands of indigenous women, created the potential for renegotiating gender roles in Zapatista communities. Drawing on the original research of scholars with long-term field experience in a range of Mayan communities in Chiapas and featuring several key documents written by indigenous women articulating their vision,Dissident Womenbrings fresh insight to the revolutionary crossroads at which Chiapas stands-and to the worldwide implications of this economic and political microcosm.

Cabela's To Open On Packer Property
(AP) Outdoor retailer Cabela's will open on a store on property owned by the Green Bay Packers. Packers CEO Mark Murphy said Friday Cabela's will build a store near the intersection of Highway 41 and Lombardi Ave. in Ashwaubenon. The Packers organization has been trying to develop the property for a couple of years. But, part of the property is a wetland. The Legislature last year changed the law allowing the site to be developed. Construction is scheduled to begin this fall and Cabela's plans to open the store in the summer of 2013. It's Cabela's third store in Wisconsin. It also has stores in Prairie du Chien and Richfield. The company also operates a distribution center in Prairie du Chien. Cabela's is headquartered in Sidney, Neb.
Drug Take Back Is Working

Nationwide, more than a half-million pounds of unwanted or expired medications were turned in for disposal. The St. Louis DEA says it collected 21,232 pounds of drugs in Missouri, 8,753 pounds in Kansas, 5,422 pounds in Nebraska, 5,365 pounds in Iowa, 1,490 pounds in South Dakota and 4,424 pounds in southern Illinois.

Dayton Continues To Work
(AP) Minnesota. Gov. Mark Dayton has vetoed a Republican-crafted tax plan that contained breaks for businesses but would have taken money from the state's rainy day reserves. The Republican-led Legislature sent Dayton the bill Thursday night and he had a few days to mull it over, but the Democratic governor struck it down Friday morning. The bill casts a shadow over an impending vote on a Minnesota Vikings stadium plan because some lawmakers suggested they would look more favorably on the stadium package if Dayton signed the tax plan. Republicans who crafted the bill have argued that freezing a statewide property tax levy on businesses and relaxing some company sales tax rules would motivate new hiring. Dayton and Democrats complained that it would blow a bigger hole in the state budget.

The Childhood Years
> How much do you intervene?
My ds won't be 3 until the end of May but I thought I'd post this here because it seems like a kid issue and not a toddler issue. Just in the past couple of weeks, since it's gotten warmer and we are around new kids more I have found myself unsure of where I should be when ds is interacting with other kids. Two examples:
1. At his first soccer class I sat on the side lines and watched. DS was running around really independantly but then came up to me saying that some kid hit him and he wanted me to talk to him (the other kid). I didn't see it happen and felt awkward stepping in when I didn't know the circumstances. I'm sure it did happen, I don't doubt him at all, but I didn't know what to do or tell ds to do. Should I have said, "Go tell the teacher"? He wasn't crying so it didn't hurt, I think he just wanted some justice. Maybe I should just have verified his righteousness (Righteous, dude! hee hee) "He shouldn't have done that. If he does it again maybe you should tell him that."
2. Yesterday we were at the playground and the only other people there were a group of 3 girls all older than ds (probably 4, and two 7 year olds). Last year, I would usually follow ds pretty closely but this time he was really interested in these girls but they would kind of clam up when I was around so I hung back but then I felt I was sending a message to ds to stay away which I didn't want to do. Aaargh...
I don't know how to be a kid's Mom!
I don't know... I am not very good at this mom stuff... I think you're doing fine, though!
This is hard stuff. Both your situations will come up again and again.
As for another child hitting or bothering him or whatever I teach my child how to deal directly with the other child. Right now my oldest is 5 and has learned lots of skills so when he comes to me and tells me that "so and so" hit him. I say, "I promise not to hit you." He says, "but it wasn't you, it was him." I shrug then and say perhaps he should talk to him directly. He gets the point.
For a younger child, though, you could help coach him in figuring out what to do. Sometimes (often) a hit is not what we think of as an intentional harm, but a mistake or a tap or whatever. Maybe talk to him about what he could say to the other child, such as, "it hurt me when you hit me." Then have him listen to the other child. Often they'll say something like, "it was a mistake" or "you hit me first" or "I wanted the such and such you had". Help both children think up better ways to solve the problem the next time. With a 3 year old you kind of have to teach teach teach all the time. As he gets older he'll begin to be able to do it on his own with fewer and fewer prompts. Expect a number of years of teaching, but let the kids do it on their own with coaching.
As for playign with the girls, I agree with hanging back. If your son comes to you for advice on how to play with him, give him ideas. Tell him that he could suggest a game to them or ask them if he could play or whatever. If he in any way thinks you don't want him playing with them, encourage him to go play with them. Making new friends, even if very temporary, is a very, very important social skill.
Taylor is three next week. I am fairly "watchful" compared to others I think. I pretty much all the time know where he is and what is going on around him. I dont always "step in" though. We've worked pretty hard to get Taylor to respect the other children [older and younger] when they tell him no, stop, what ever if he is doing something they dont like. I cant think of how many times some kid has come to me and told me Taylor did something and I have said to the kid "did you ask him not to?" and they say no?!?!
: I usually just say "well, ask him not to do ..." and when they do he says sorry and they move on. I have repeatedly asked him to do the same. When other kids do something he doesnt like [hit, bite, scream, scare, etc] I tell him to say "please dont ..." and most of the time he does and it works and they move on etc. On a rare occasion older boys about 5-6 dont stop their behavior. [I am sure he will get to that stage too. Sigh.] After a few minutes before tears but not much before I step between them and THEN I ask the child to stop or leave Taylor alone etc. Never had a complaint.
PS. We recently taught Taylor how to play "follow the leader" and now at playgrounds etc we often suggest to him that he ask kids if they want to play. Also, because he is a boy and big for his age yet still younger than most of his playmates etc we encourage him to let them "go first" if they want to. So far he is really liking this alot too. And the girls seem more open to playing with him that way as well.
Thank you, great advice!
I have a dd who will be three in a few weeks. For situations like your first I would stay out. The most I would do is say " i am sorry that happened. Are you hurt?" I wasn' prt of the argument and so long as it wasn't part of persistamnt bullying it is not my place to step in. they will do much better to work it out on thier own. Also with kids that age those things pass in a moment.
...in the first case I would have found it very hard but would have told ds to tell the coach or ref. Hurting is not allowed.
...in the second case I would have left them to it but kept a distant eye on things.
Now where is that parenting handbook that came with our kids at birth, perhaps all these questions and answers are in there? LOL
I am not real clear about the second situation. If it had been my dd I would have asked her if she wanted to play with those girls. If she said yes I would have said "then go ask them if ou can play too" there is a risk opf being hurt if they reject her but then I would just hug and cudle and explain that some big kids just don't want to play with 3 year olds and that is OK because mommmy will play with you.
Lilyka - it was just that normally I'd be right with him playing as an equal but in this case the girls saw me as a ... wet blanket, I guess, so they definitely weren't going to play with him with me around but then ds didn't understand why I was hanging back.
ANYWAY, he is so into playing with big kids right now but he really doesn't understand why they won't play with him. It breaks my heart. He says, "Mummy, I want to be BIG!!" Yesterday he took his basketball and his scooter to the playground because that's what the big kids were playing with. But then he can't throw the ball more than 3 feet in the air so he said, "Mummy, I'm not big." And he's pretty darn good on the scooter for an almost 3 year old, if you ask me but the big kids don't notice. It doesn't help that most of them are speaking Chinese, too. Hopefully, if we keep going over there they will open up to him a little.
I didn't expect to have these issues so soon!
Poor little guy. I feel his pain. My 3 year old wants to be a big kid too. It is a difficult thing. Outside of sympathizing there isn't much that can be done. Especially when there is a language barrier becase it is hard to even ask. is there maybe an older child who could come over and play with him for a while every now and then. Just to make him feel special? Not a solution really but it might make him feel better. There is a really sweet book called "Topm and Pippo and the bike" Or something like that. Tom and Pippo is a series and they are loved by everyone who lives in my house
anyway it is just a sweet story about a little boy and his toy monkey and hgow they want to be big so they can ride a big kid bike and then the big kid plays with him and thier bikes together a little. Again not helpful to the situation but since he wants to be a big kid so bad he might like it.
Thanks for the book suggestion! I'm looking for books to help him deal with this.
He has older cousins that he LOVES to play with but they are country girls and I think his current fixation is urban boys. You should have seen him walking to the playground with his basketball under his arm all nonchalant, trying to walk with attitude. If he says "Yo, dude" I'll die.
Lilyka's advice about the hit at soccer was right on the mark. Sometimes little ones just need to have a wrong acknowledged, but they don't necessarily need it to be set to rights.
Around here moms go to the park, but we don't really play with our kids so much as hang out with our own peer group... other parents. The adults are accessible, but the play is mostly up to the children. The kids are pretty heirarchical (nobody admires trying to learn to use a scooter, but everyone admires kids who are good at scootering) and many of them don't want adults to get too involved because often adult involvement means someone's in trouble. If your son is having a good time, let him be. Tell him where you'll be sitting and that you'll just be talking or reading and if he needs you, he can call or come to you. Stay where he can see you and keep an eye out to make sure the play is okay for him (children of many ages and skill levels can bike around a parking lot together, but heading out onto the street is a whole different story) and that the big kids are more-or-less looking out for him (watching their language, giving him room to play, whatever you think he still needs) and then enjoy your magazine, coffee, what have you.
I'm realising that it's this particular playground that has presented the problems. It's actually the school yard so the kids are all older (7-16) and there aren't any other parents there. Also the playground equipment is geared to older kids - big steel jungle gyms, etc. so I usually 'spot' him when he climbs and play with him because 1. there's nobody else for him to play with and 2. there's nothing else for me to do! It's right across the street from our house so he always wants to go there before dinner. At the playground in the park (we go on weekends) I sit back and talk and let him go because the kids are all around his age and the playground is safe and contained.
He was still trying to get in with the group of older kids yesterday and one boy told him to "Move it!" or something along those lines, at the top of the slide. DS seemed intrigued rather than hurt but I was pissed off. I don't think I can count on these kids to watch out for him. I'll be watching that boy in particular and if it keeps happening we'll just have to go somewhere else.
I feel I need to say, I'm not an overly protective parent. I love to have him go off and play by himself but I also want him to have a good time so if he wants me to, I get in there and play!

Helping vets, pets
Cvet's Pets raises cash to help veterans with PTSD who need service dogs
The season is still months away, but Winnipeg Blue Bombers long-snapper Chris Cvetkovic is already preparing to tackle one of the most important challenges of his career.
It has nothing to do with his unique ability to rocket a football with laser-like accuracy between his legs to one of the kickers on the local Canadian Football League squad.
It has everything to do with his dogged determination to help Canadian Forces veterans struggling with the nightmare of post-traumatic stress disorder.
But we'll get to that in a moment. First, a little background.
For Cvetkovic -- a father of two and, at 35, the oldest player on the Bombers -- helping others comes as naturally as slamming his 6-1, 235-pound body into opposing lineman on the gridiron.
Don't let the rest of the CFL in on this secret, but this special teams expert and Hamilton native, entering his 10th season with the Blue and Gold, is a bit of a softie.
When he isn't on a football field or in the gym, he's helping raise money for the fight against cancer, visiting up to six schools a week with an anti-bullying program, promoting literacy and lending his voice to a provincial campaign to inspire Manitobans to speak out against domestic violence.
But, perhaps more than anything, Cvetkovic has a long-standing love affair with animals, especially dogs. That's why last year he founded Cvet's Pets, a volunteer-run, non-profit group dedicated to helping raise cash and awareness for Manitoba's animal rescue programs.
Since last February, Cvet's Pets has helped raise more than $25,000. "It's simple -- I do it because I love animals," Cvetkovic explains recently over lunch. "To me, it's about lending a voice to those who can't speak."
In January, Cvetkovic and a group of CFL buddies -- Bombers QB Buck Pierce, former Bombers Ian Logan and Brady Browne, Toronto Argonauts' Andre Durie, Calgary Stampeders' Jabari Arthur and Saskatchewan Roughriders' Chris Getzlaf -- spent a week in Mexico working at a volunteer spay and neuter clinic.
In the Cancun area, he noted, there are more than two million stray animals roaming the streets, compared with about a million human residents. "It was jarring," Cvetkovic recalled. "They're everywhere -- on rooftops, on top of vans. You're blown away by the extent of the problem.
"In five days, the volunteer vets at the clinic spayed and neutered 1,327 dogs and cats. We pulled starving dogs and cats off the streets, administered anesthetic, prepared the animals for surgery, helped with the breathing tubes, cleaned their wounds, picked ticks out of their ears... The only thing we didn't do was surgery."
When he returned home, along with a renewed sense of commitment, Cvetkovic brought back Lobo, an emaciated boxer-terrier cross puppy that now lives the good life along with his two other rescue dogs, Cody and Jersey.
"When you saw Lobo before, he was just ribs and hips," the snapper with a sharp sense of humour says, chowing down on a salad. "He was kind of bug-eyed. Now he's awesome. He's just like any other dog."
Then, at a Super Bowl party in February, Cvetkovic met an Air Force employee who told him about a program that would let Cvet's Pets kill two birds with one stone -- helping animals and traumatized veterans at the same time.
In a heartbeat, he decided to throw his weight behind Courageous Companions, a made-in-Manitoba project that provides specially trained service dogs for free to veterans struggling with PTSD and other disabilities.
The canine project was launched eight years ago by MSAR, a non-profit organization whose volunteer members conduct search and rescue operations on Manitoba First Nations and train service dogs for almost every duty imaginable.
"All the dogs come from shelters," Cvetkovic noted. "These are dogs that nobody wanted. They are amazing dogs. The dogs have a calming effect on traumatized veterans. I know there has been a reduction in suicides. It's that unconditional love.
"These are people that gave a lot to our country and now it's our turn to give back and serve them."
Capt. George Leonard, search commander and master trainer with MSAR, formerly known as the Manitoba Search and Rescue Association, launched Courageous Companions in 2005 after meeting a Manitoba veteran crippled by PTSD.
Since then, MSAR has placed 70 service dogs with veterans in Canada and the U.S., including 21 in Manitoba.
The vast majority of the dogs -- trained to help with every kind of disability from autism and dementia to serious depression -- are rescued from animal shelters. They are trained by volunteers, a process that typically takes at least a year and can cost in excess of $100,000, Leonard says. The program receives no government funding.
"There's no charge to the veterans of any kind," the master trainer stressed. "We've even had recent requests from the U.K. We're not going to turn away a NATO ally."
He said a service dog can literally mean the difference between life and death for traumatized veterans.
"With PTSD, you withdraw into your own little world. A lot of guys attempt suicide. The dog builds a bond with the person. It starts pulling them out of the darkness. It changes their life. The dogs keep them in the here and now, so they don't have any flashbacks."
About a year ago, a Manitoba veteran, at the end of his rope, was sitting in a local Tim Hortons, writing a suicide note, when, by sheer accident, a family with an MSAR service dog trained to help their autistic child came into the coffee shop.
The vet and the service dog locked eyes. The desperate man struck up a conversation with the family, who told him about Courageous Companions.
"He called me the same day and now he has one of our dogs," Leonard explained. "He had been planning to take his own life that night. He's doing much better now. The timing couldn't have been better."
He said having Cvet's Pets and a squad of CFL stars -- Bombers Pierce, Kito Poblah and Carl Volny, Edmonton's Don Oramasionwu and Eddie Steele, Saskatchewan's Joe Lobendahn and B.C.'s Andrew Harris -- join his pack is a blessing. "That's huge for us," he said with delight. "I can focus on training and not worry about other things."
For Cvetkovic, the goal is to raise cash and awareness for Courageous Companions. But Job No. 1 is to cover the cost of the $300 "starter kits" that are given to every veteran who receives a service dog.
The kits contain everything from a kennel and a dog bed to collars, leashes and dog dishes. Eventually, the longtime Bomber hopes his organization can also pick up the costs of adopting the shelter dogs trained by MSAR.
"A lot of people are in the dark about this program," Cvetkovic said. "I know I was. I think a lot more people need to know about this. And I want to absorb some of their costs. This is a national issue. We're helping veterans across the country."

The life of singer Marianne Faithfull, former wild girl of rock, is to be made into a film.
Faithfull told BBC News that she has agreed to let her life story be told as a film. It will be based on her 1994 autobiography, Faithfull.
"It won't happen right away, but we have found a director I trust who wants to make a film of the book," said Faithfull, now 62, who will release her 22nd album, Easy Come, Easy Go, next week.
She said she plans to keep a distance from the project and wants no say in which actress will portray her on screen.
"I'm not getting involved," she said. "I'll read the script when it's ready, which won't be for a long time, and then I'll leave it to the director and the actress he chooses."
Faithfull, educated in an convent in England, found fame in the 1960s as the girlfriend of Rolling Stones lead singer Mick Jagger, and emerged as an artist in her own right.
As Tears Go By, written by Jagger and Keith Richards and performed by Faithfull, was a hit on both sides of the Atlantic. A string of successful singles followed, including This Little Bird, Summer Nights, and Come and Stay with Me.
Faithfull's addiction to heroin and cocaine threw her career into a tailspin and she spent two years living on the streets of London in the 1970s.
After years of battling her addictions, she made a comeback in the 1980s, branching into acting on the stage and screen as well as making music.
In 2006, she was diagnosed with early stage breast cancer, but recovered.

A young and good-looking cowboy is taught the intricacies of oral sex by an older stud in this hot clip. The two muscle bound men get naked with each other in the hay barn, with the older stud pushing the younger man down to his knees and slipping his penis down his throat. At first the younger man is unsure about how to work the prick with his mouth, but he soon gains expertise under the expert tuition of his new man. The guys swap around several times, even lying on their sides on the ground so that they can both suck each other at the same time in a sideways 69. The horny western studs jack off over each others' stomachs and cocks.

Under the proposal backed by Republican Governor Scott Walker, about 72,000 people now due to be shifted from Wisconsin's BadgerCare Medicaid program on Jan. 1 would be allowed to stay on until the end of March.
The healthcare.gov website for the Affordable Care Act, popularly known as Obamacare, had a rocky start on Oct. 1. Wisconsin officials said only 877 residents were able to sign up for the federal healthcare exchange that month.
Last weekend, federal officials said the site was performing markedly better after a self-imposed deadline to fix the portal.
Walker called a special session to consider the delay, which would give the BadgerCare recipients more time to enroll in the federal marketplace for health insurance.
Wisconsin state representatives are expected to vote Wednesday on the proposal. If approved by the state Assembly, state senators could vote on the delay later in December. Republicans hold a majority in both sides of the legislature.
"The federal government failed to get its website fully operational, and it is irresponsible to force some Wisconsinites to pay the price for the federal government's failure," Walker said in a statement announcing the session.
Wisconsin was one of 36 states that chose not to create a state exchange, instead relying on the federal government to create an exchange where people can shop for health insurance.
Walker's state budget signed in June tightened the income qualifications for BadgerCare to 100 percent of the federal poverty level, from 200 percent, pushing 72,000 people toward the federal health insurance program.
At the same time, the plan expanded BadgerCare eligibility to about 83,000 childless adults who have household incomes less than 100 percent of the federal poverty level. The measure lawmakers are considering in the special session would require those adults to wait until April 1 to enroll in BadgerCare.

Kat McNamara Shares Her Handwritten Lyrics to "Chatter"
Plus, find out her inspiration behind the lyrics in a video interview...
Triple-threat Kat McNamara is one of those singer/actress/dancers who was simply born to perform. Getting her foot in the door in the entertainment industry on Broadway at just 13, she took the role of Fredrika Armfeldt in A Little Night Music, and her budding career began to take off. These days, the 17-year-old is most known for her role as Myra Santelli in the Disney Channel original movie Girl vs. Monster. a freaky-yet-funny film about a girl who discovers her parents are monster hunters. But the teen star doesn't just have the acting bug, she's also making her debut with her original single debut for the song she penned entitled "Chatter".
Starring in the new film Contest, a TV movie about teen bullying, Kat wrote the song "Chatter" about how teasing and taunting is just words, and nothing more. "Words only hurt when you let them matter", Kat sings, which is a valuable lesson in today's era of social media bullying. Watch her explain the lyrics to the positive song in the video below:

The adjective "nesh" is used to describe somebody who always complains of feeling cold, but also who is over-cautious or easily scared. As a verb, "to nesh" or "to nesh out" means to either fail in an attempt through over-caution, or to simply not make the attempt at all (so "neshing out" can be equivalent to the more well-known "bottling out").
"Frileux" (masc.) and "frileuse" (fem.) are both widely used in Hexagonal French.

Harvest or collect a fruit or vegetable that you want to grow from seed. Cut it open and pull out the seeds with your hand or with a small spoon. Spread the seeds out on dry paper towels to absorb the excess moisture.
There's a lot of extra stuff in with the seed, mostly pulp and liquid. One of the best ways to separate the seed from the rest is to use your hands and spread them out. The seeds are drier and harder than the pulp. Remove the pulp and other material, taking care not to damage the seed.

Juliette Magill Kinzie Gordon Low was the founder of the...
Bettie Sellers (1926-2013)
Bettie Sellers lived and wrote poetry in Young Harris, a small college town in the mountains of north Georgia, for most of her life. Piedmont region, near Griffin, her grandmother grew up in north Georgia's Nacoochee Valley. This heritage stimulated Sellers's interest in Appalachia. After earning a B.A. from LaGrange College in 1958 and an M.A. from the University of Georgia in 1966, she accepted a position as professor of English at Young Harris College. After thirty-two years of service to the college, Sellers retired in 1997.
Nature figures prominently in much of Bettie Sellers's verse. Many of her poems observe the passing of seasons and paint vivid pictures of regional plants and animals. They also portray the named world of north Georgia. Her poems frequently celebrate the complex beauty that she observed around her, but they also consider how the land influences people. "Moment at Dusk" probes that issue:
When September's quarter moon tips down
toward Sunset rock cool and distant at dusk,
the mountains darken blue in solid shapes
quieting the valley for the coming of the night.
Crickets scratch in the grass; a catbird whines.
The dome fills up with darkness, reveals
the Dippers, great and small. My eyes
trace the distance to the farthest star—
but the mountain holds my feet in place.
From a rocky perch, the speaker quietly watches evening advance and realizes that the mountains provide strength and stability to those who live in their shadow.
Concern for the preservation of north Georgia's natural places also pervades Sellers's poetry. She recognized that development and modern technology threaten to destroy wild places, and her poems often lament their passing. In "Wild Ginger," for example, she describes the tower on Brasstown Bald, Georgia's highest peak, as an "inept" intruder. Similarly, "Complaint to Betelgeuse" laments the loss of once-clear night skies in which constellations stood out against the blackness of the heavens:
Now satellites invade the ridge—
the star I thought was Venus rising
keeps on rising out of sight
to bring the morning's news—and wars
are instantaneously played on beams
that tear Orion's belt, divide Andromeda
A sense of irreparable destruction pervades the poem, and the violent, martial imagery underscores the threat that pristine places face for their survival.
Sellers writes not only of the land but also of the people and families who live on it. Her poetry shows that communal and familial relationships provide part of the continuity of Appalachian life. Birth, death, marriage, divorce, and the dynamics of relationships are all subjects of her poems. "Writing is a terrible, awesome responsibility," Sellers said; thus, she did not shy away from the pain that is sometimes part of life. "Sarah's Quilts," for example, relates the story of a mother gathering stones to mark the grave of one son who has been killed by the other:
She stands, barefoot, in the creek, homespun dress,
rich brown with walnut dye, tucked up almost
to knees that feel the rush, the chilling press
of Corn Creek's water even in the heat
of August. Now her sons are far away:
one running over hills his footsteps beat
on forest trails she never saw. Laurel
thickets tear his clothes, snatch hands
that picked up stones to end the quarrel
once too often, left his brother dead,
buried beneath the oak that tops the rise
just steps behind the cabin. She sees his head
rest on patchwork squares she sewed; a quilt
she made to warm his bed serves as a shroud
to line his grave. His brother's fear, his guilt
have made him run without a warp to warm
him in the cold of mountain nights, no bright-
patched "Star of Bethlehem" to ward off harm
lurking behind great pines. She prays for brothers
as she picks up stones, piles them along the bank.
One stone, now clean of blood, joins others
she will use to lay around a space,
an outline like the rope-strung attic bed
where he can sleep, her quilt across his face.
An intricately rhymed narrative poem based on the story of Cain and Abel, "Sarah's Quilts" reflects the inspiration that Sellers regularly drew from biblical stories and names. Her verses often portray a region steeped in Christian belief.
Sellers published four volumes of poetry, including Spring Onions and Cornbread (1978), Morning of the Red-Tailed Hawk (1981), Liza's Monday and Other Poems (1986), and Wild Ginger (1989).
Sellers was named Author of the Year in 1979 by the Dixie Council of Authors and Journalists. She received the Governor's Award in the Humanities in 1987 and in 1992 was named Poet of the Year by the American Pen Women. In 1997 Governor Zell Miller named Sellers as the poet laureate of Georgia, a position she held for three years, and in 2003 she received the Stanley W. Lindberg Award (named for longtime Georgia Review editor Stanley Lindberg), which recognizes outstanding contributions to Georgia's literary culture. The Georgia Writers Association gave Sellers a lifetime achievement award in 2004.
Sellers died on May 17, 2013, at the age of eighty-seven, in Hayesville, North Carolina.

Even before Baz Luhrmann's interpretation of "The Great Gatsby" came out in May of this year, there was much buzz about the star-studded film. Aside from musical direction from Jay-Z and Leonardo DiCaprio playing the lead role, a lot of the excitement was around what the actual film would look like.
The roaring 20s were beautifully captured in F. Scott Fitzgerald's classic book and Catherine Martin, wife of Luhrmann and the costume/production designer for the film did an impeccable job. Watch our interview with the design genius above!
