National Women's History Month's roots go back to March 8, 1857, when women from New York City factories staged a protest over working conditions. International Women's Day was first observed in 1909, but it wasn't until 1981 that Congress established National Women's History Week to be commemorated the second week of March. In 1987, Congress expanded the week to a month. Every year since, Congress has passed a resolution for Women's History Month, and the President has issued a proclamation.

text: Christmastide (also Christmas or the Christmas season) is one of the seasons of the liturgical year of most Christian churches. It tends to be defined (with slight variations) as the period from Christmas Day to the evening of 5 January, the day before the start of the octave of Epiphany. This period is also commonly known as the Twelve Days of Christmas, as referred to in the Christmas carol of the same name, or Yuletide, as in "Deck the Halls". In the Church of England, however, Christmastide includes Epiphany and ends at Candlemas. During the season various festivities are traditionally enjoyed and buildings decorated. In some countries, by superstition it is bad luck to leave the decorations up after Twelfth Night.

Sassy Girl Dancing to 'Respect' Is the Ultimate Child Star

The bouquet wasn't the only thing this bride threw.
It's safe to say this little bundle of energy had a good time at this wedding.
At last, we know the most popular first dance wedding songs.
What's that saying about how you should dance like no one is watching? That credo certainly paid off for Ellie Cole.
One thing about country music is that the lyrics are always enough. But Luke Bryan is raising the bar. He is 'perfecting' his butt shaking skills.
Wedding season is upon us -- are you prepared?!! Sure, you have an outfit, but what are you going to do when the DJ starts playing 'Celebrate' by Kool and the Gang? Huh?! Do you even know?!
This video should be just the thing to lift your spirits if you really wish you weren't back at work already. It's a supercut. Not just any supercut -- a supercut of 77 awesome (and not so awesome) dance scenes from movies set to 'Safety Dance.' It's pretty great.

New gear, cool head by Stephen Price
Toronto-based Head Gear Animation may have just doubled its studio space to 5,000 square feet, but partners Steve Angel and Julian Grey are taking a sober approach to the recent growth of their five-year-old company. "We've seen a lot of people expand and then croak," says Angel.
On the strength of a solid 60/40 mix of US/Canadian work, split evenly between spots and branding, the multi-disciplinary animation shop is taking over the floor above its current space to accommodate a new custom-built, six-axis motion-control rig. Angel says the setup, powered by software from Kuper, allows his seven Mac-equipped staff to program moves that are precise, subtle, accurate and perfectly repeatable, "so you can do multiple passes animating different elements and composite them seamlessly".
Adding to the rig's versatility is a piece of custom-written code that translates the motion-control data so that it can be integrated with 3D CG animation.
The new gear's maiden flight is for Cartoon Network's Halloween promos, which Angel describes as "a nightmare funhouse ride through Gothic abstract scenarios of horror and dismemberment". He assures us the fear factor of the :60's four cut-downs is offset by a campy overtone.
Also on the boards for the new motion-control gear are stop-motion spots for Breakfree Eggs featuring chickens in group therapy for Roundtable, Toronto, and a still confidential assignment for a major sports network.
Despite the sudden gush of stop-motion work, the shop is "all over the map in terms of technique," Angel insists. "Often people come to us with totally blank slates, and we come up with techniques based on what best sells or promotes their product."

Before & After: 3-Day Bachelor Pad by Jon Call of Mr Call Designs
The design of this beautiful New York apartment was recently completed in record time. Interior designer Jon Call and his small team at Mr Call Designs pooled their resources to create this cohesive and expertly furnished space in just three days! Can you spot the west elm accents and accessories that help pull the look together?
For Mr Call Designs' most recent project, the client — a future transplant to New York City — was visiting town for three days solely to outfit his new apartment. He requested that we complete all selections of furnishings and finishes during his visit, and furthermore to have the interior completely installed before the move-in date in two weeks' time.
MCD used a combination of off-the-rack and high-end-vintage to pull the room together. The apartment is a focused and tailored mix of one-of-a-kind luxurious pieces side by side with beautiful, accessible furnishings. Needless to say, the room is developed and made complete by the use of west elm's gorgeous accessories.
See more of Jon Call's impressive design portfolio (and use of west elm!) at Mr Call Designs.

Beautiful but I think the TV placement is impractical. I think I'd also use an ottoman since it's a "bachelor pad" and there is the whole "feet on coffee table" issue to deal with.
Lighting in the living room area seems insufficient. Also, How is anyone watching that television in the corner at the end of the sofa? Seems like above the fireplace would have made more sense. The corner may have been better suited as a desk area.
Where is all of the furniture from? I attempted searching for the leather chairs on West Elm, but had no luck.
Agree. The design is beautiful but the TV placement is horrible. What bachelor is going to watch over their shoulder.
Totally agree that the TV is impractical – guys spend all of their time watching TV or listening to music, not talking. I'm sure they'd have all of the seating re-oriented toward the TV as soon as they walked in the door.
Beautiful design. Love the art piece behind the sofa. Agree about the awkward TV but perhaps its on a swing arm and then can be seen from the chairs? Definitely keeping this in mind.
Hi Shannon — all of the items in the room from west elm are highlighted in the post. Perhaps Jon will give us more information about the other furnishings…
Outside of agreeing on the TV placement issues, I would live in this space in a NY minute. And I'm not a bachelor. I just like no fuss, elegant but comfortable designs and furnishings. Frilly, busy or girly gives me a headache.
Love it! And personally, I'm glad Mr. Call chose *not* to place the TV over the fireplace. The two (amazing!) leather chairs can be angled to face it, and no doubt someone (or two) can recline on the sofa to watch. Great choice of masculine-but-warm accent colors for the fab neutrals, too.
This is a VERY welcoming space. The only thing that is out of place to me is the stacking of the books above the TV. While the space is minimalistic, this area is cluttered and looks like an after thought. But I love how everything looks like it was collected over time – and the art behind the sofa is AWESOME!
Hey you guys, Jon Call from MR CALL DESIGNS here. Love all the comments. It really is so cool to have the project launched by FRONT AND MAIN. Much thanks to Aaron for making this happen.
If you want to check out the resources for the furnishings, everything has been itemized on PINTEREST. Just follow the link here (http://pinterest.com/mrcalldesigns/project-no303/) and you should find the information you need. If by odd chance anything has been left out, feel free to get in touch (Jon@MrCallDesigns) and I will get you on the right track.
Now…about the TV. The client had a specific request to not have the media solutions center stage in his Living/Dining area. At night when he gets home, he likes to unplug and chill out. Most major television watching happens in his bedroom. While it was an unusual request, I too want to see some sort of media in the Living Room for when he had friends over, etc. The compromise was to build the floating shelf system and integrate the television in the corner. That way, when he is home alone, he can lay on the sofa to watch the TV. For when he has guests over, though, I mounted that damn think on the biggest swing arm that money could buy so it actually unfolds into the room, allowing people on the leather chairs, dining area, etc, the proper field of vision. It was the perfect solution for the client, and I think the results are pretty cool (albeit unconventional).
Look forward to more comments, and again, thanks to FRONT AND MAIN for doing such a bang up job with the editorial.
Lovely!It's crazy how it looks even bigger than when it was empty. The only thing I'm not 100% on is totally covering the hardwood floors, maybe smaller area rugs for me would have been nicer.
TV placement is fine in my opinion. He probably would be lying down on the couch to watch it anyway. I agree with Alison about the covering the floor with smaller area rugs.
Really insufficient lighting. The only place one could read a book is at the dining table. It looks calm and comfortable, but at night it would be a dungeon.
I absolutely love it — classic, modern, and comfortable. What else do you need? And really, do you want a giant TV as the feature of your 2-room apartment? I think not.
Everything looks fabulous. I also watch most tv in my bedroom so this is perfect.
I so agree with Zak, it's perfect!
It looks like there are 2 swing-arm floor lamps, one between the 2 awesome leather chairs and one next to the sofa (though it's not visible in other pics). Those would provide sufficient reading lighting, but I agree that perhaps, there should be another more general ambient lighting provider in the living area besides the very large dining pendant lamp.
Overall, a very nice effort!
And I like the swing-arm solution for the TV.
would love to know the paint color used! Great look.
Hey, JK-
Colors for the Living Space are all Benjamin Moore. Walls are EDGECOMB GRAY (pearl), fireplace is STARDUST (semi-gloss) and ceiling is their Muresco brand in WHITE (This particular paint hides a million sins, contractors LOVE it, and the color is thick and matte like unglazed porcelain) .
Happy Painting!
Jon Call
Mr Call Designs
Answering client wants/needs and injecting an immense amount of style into one room with so much multi-function! BRAVO!
Brilliant! Was a bit suspicious of the television placement at first but after reading that it's a swing arm I think it's perfect
So glad the tv is on a swing arm. I had suspected it might be. 😉 That's how my hubby would want it. 😉
I think Jon Call has done and excellent job combining vintage and off the rack pieces. I would be so happy to sink into that room! Love it and all Jon's work!
Jon, I love the way you pulled the space together. I don't know that I would call it masculine, it is simply, warm and inviting and it would suit my husband, as well as me. Frankly, I wouldn't change a thing! I like the use of white in the furniture and in the large shade over the table, as well as the glass coffee table. It is a nice addition, large, but not too heavy. The two rugs work well. Smaller rugs would have made the areas too busy. Love the TV to the side. My husband and I recently moved into a modern condo, that was a bachelor pad, with the television over the fireplace. It is going! Who wants the television dominating the room? If we lived in NY, I would hire you in a moment! Great job.
Thanks a bunch, you guys! Looking forward to sharing the next project with you on FRONT AND MAIN! xx
I have nothing bad to say except I am jealous!! I love the room!
Not crazy about covering up the hardwood floors and the placement of seating / placement of TV. Why bother having a TV? The pendant over the dining area table is definitely not the proper scale. The dining area in general looks very sloppy. The art hanging behind the ivory sofa is nice, but I think maybe an accent color would have been a cool touch. The throw pillows on the couch are nice, but they are blah. Coffee table is a bad choice. It doesn't seem to welcoming/warm; I almost feel like I'd be waiting in the dentist's office to be called next. Not too crazy about it, sorry Mr. Call, not that impressed.
I think it looks lovely. But the TV placement is ridiculous.

The Global Volcanism Program has no activity reports for Vernadskii Ridge.
The Global Volcanism Program has no Weekly Reports available for Vernadskii Ridge.
The Global Volcanism Program has no Bulletin Reports available for Vernadskii Ridge.
The Vernadskii and Bogdanovich volcano groups on northern Paramushir island in the northern Kuriles comprise the two southernmost of three volcano groups on the Vernadskii Ridge, immediately south of the historically active Ebeko volcano group. The Vernadskii group, at the southern end of the volcanic complex, contains three centers, one of which is topped by a lava dome. The Bogdanovich group, 4-5 km to the north, is composed of five eruptive centers that have produced small cones and lava flows. Gorshkov (1970) considered that eruptive activity at both the Vernadskii and Bogdanovich volcano groups continued into the Holocene.

|The Vernadskii Ridge descends diagonally across this Space Shuttle image of northern Paramushir Island (with north to the upper right). The historically active Ebeko volcano lies at the far upper right, north of the linear chain of the Vernadskii (south) and Bogdanovich (north) volcano groups, consisting of small cones and lava domes. The three large smooth-textured surfaces along the Pacific coast of Paramushir opposite the western side of Shumshu Island (far lower right) are preglacial Pleistocene lava flows.
