When we go to a store many of us pay for our goods by cash if we don’t have our credit cards with us. There is one type of money bill that is seen very rarely. These urban legends or folktales have all inspired the myth that the 2 dollar bill is not what [...]
It is not often that art gallery staff make my day, but John MacGregor Newman, Associate Director of Kinsman Robinson Galleries in Toronto, Canada, did just that two weekends ago.
He showed me a sneak peak of the current exhibition “Norval Morrisseau: A Retrospective” which is on now until 29 November. While he was doing [...]
PICTURES COURTESY OF ALMOND TREE FRAMESNever underestimate the effect that natural subjects such as these tree drawings can have on your decor. Once you have the bare bones of the design drawn in detail on the bedroom wall, the options open to you are virtually endless. Properly placed, the drawing can successfully stand alone as a visual focal point that serves the purpose of bringing a feeli
I've found a game that is almost as fun as smashing clay and not nearly as messy. The new SPORE game is out and the creature creator is the perfect tool to supercharge your imagination. Here's a short movie of my first creature - CattywampusNow I'm off to see if I can recreate him in polymer clay!
Today, how about little things that bring little smiles, like petite piggies. We love finding fab, fun and light-hearted frou-frous, and these Disco Piggy Banks from...
1. The good old French Kiss With open mouths, your tongues gently probe and swirl against the delicate skin inside the mouth. 2. The Beginner's Kiss A simple meeting of the lips. Your lips may brush against each other or gently press together. Done with finesse, this can be a fantastic starting point. A variation of this is to "
Another exciting LipSense color combination I came up with today takes two coats of Cranberry LipSense and one coat of Summer Fling LipSense. The combination is a delightful color that I call Cranberry Fling LipSense.
We always put 3 coats of LipSense on no matter what. It doesn’t matter what colors but we just [...]

With the notable inability of both Democratic candidates to stop shredding each other, Howard Dean has taken it upon himself to assert John McCain’s non-viability.

Bruges is a great escape from Bruxelles! Bruxelles is crowded, noisy and it gives the impression of buildings being piled together because old and modern buildings are mixed without any rhyme or reason. Bruges old town is not crowded and is very quiet despite tons of tourists. So, going to Bruges' old town is a delight to the eyes, the ears and the feet.
You've gotta love my halls - organising the Christmas party the night before the freshers FunMed exam. There's something so charming about walking into a cheaply decorated hall to the sound of Slade, very…youth-hostel. Still I went for a bit, reluctantly danced and had a few drinks - was great to get away from the lockdown of our corridor this week. So in terms of work, well not a great deal accomplished for our first exam but perhaps more worryingly is the lack of regret.Revising is the "hot topic' of conversation at the moment, understandably. If anything I'm more worried people will think I'm an arrogant prick for my reaction to this. Truth be told, I honestly can't be dealing with the stress of it all so soon into the course, especially considering its small weighting. Some freshers have been in tears, e-mailing the tutors asking what happens if they fail and contributing to a tense atmosphere that ebbs through the place. I feel sympathetic towards them, but a l

There's no other word to describe Enchanted but "delightful" for the first 80 minutes of the movie and then you can switch to "demoralizing" or "depressing."
In Enchanted, Princess-to-be Giselle (Amy Adams) shares a cottage in sub-suburban Andalasia with various woodland creatures including Pip, a spunky and helpful chipmunk. Giselle dreams of princes and Love and her enthusiasm for these two desires manifest themselves into a homemade prince mannequin, the construction of which makes for a lovely animal collaboration scene. One day, as she sings with her animal friends and the prince is out hunting trolls, they overhear each other and instantly fall in love. The wicked witch Queen Narissa (Susan Sarandon) doesn't approve of her stepson's romance, however, as it would mean the loss of her crown, and, in an allusion to Snow White, disguises herself as a witch to fool the innocent Giselle into falling down a well and thus away from the story book kingdom.
Giselle then finds he

We're not sure, but we have an inkling that somewhere Hildi Santo-Tomás, the wall-warrior queen of 'Trading Spaces,' may have some hand in the outrageous pandemic of wall decals that has hit the world's decor in the past year. In countless shows on TLC, Hildi has pushed nothing but wall treaments, wall treatments, wall treatments. Now her message apparently has reached the tipping point, as we've been seeing decals creeping up walls and spilling onto innocent architecture everywhere. With so much decor at stake, a brief intervention is in order.
Although we applaud Hildi's creative drive for wall wonder,
some of her transformations want us to offer design therapy for the homeowners decoriously injured. Let her pizazzters be a caveat to those who've suddenly become addicted to decals, decals, decals. You just can't stick one, and it can be dangerous. True, if used in tasteful moderation, wall decals can be an easy, non-messy way to prettify any space. However, it's that
Kesari Bhath is something that's very dear to me. This is one sweet that my nephew and nieces always want, when they visit us. The first day breakfast menu will always be Idly, Sambar, Chutney and Vada with Kesari Bath. My sis-in-laws will ensure that the kids had their breakfast before letting them peep at the kesari bath. And through the day one can see their frequent visit to the place its kept. They ensure its complete by the evening! Amma makes one mean Kesari bath. The consistency, texture and colour varies for different occasion. Amma makes these for different festivals, poojas. I guess each person relates to this in a different way. Hubby dear says that he agreed mainly after eating kesari bath at our place!. For me, memories of Kesari bath only brings me fond ones of my little relatives at home. Its a satisfaction thats never compared. There is nothing more satisfying and complete than getting approved by a little one. And I am always on cloud nine, when they ask me to prepar
We spent one morning exploring Homebush Bay, the site of the Sydney 2000 Olympic Games. The architecture and immensity of the complex is overwhelming. The Olympic Park Railway Station will be able to accommodate 50,000 people per hour during the games.A day trip that I highly recommend is a tour of the Blue Mountains, an area of dense forested valleys, canyons with steep cliffs and waterfalls. We took a four-wheel drive adventure along an exciting back road to the Cathedral of Ferns, a pre-historic rain forest, before visiting the famous Three Sisters rock formation. One of the most rewarding stops was at a wildlife park where I had some eyeball encounters with koalas, kangaroos, snakes and emus.
Too often we look at the flower as a whole and pay no attention to the detail inside...I just thought that was so purdy. :D It's bowling tonight folks, wish upon your lucky rabbits foot, stones, underoos, and all things lucky that I win some tonight, or break my top score of 180. Everyone have a fab day!

It was just the other day that our neighbor took her dog out for a walk, and the utter misbehavior of her new dog put her to a lot of embarrassment. She has brought in this orphan dog from her friends kennel a week back and is really having a difficult time training this brat!! We had pets in our house even before me and other siblings were born. Training a dog has never been a new exercise for us. It has always been a part and parcel of the family chores. But after I saw the lady’s plight I understood the importance of it.Dog training is basically the process of teaching a dog to exhibit certain desired dog behavior in specific circumstances like, teaching a dog basic obedience commands (part of obedience training), teaching a dog to perform tricks casually or for circus acts, teaching a guide dog to lead the blind, teaching a rescue dog to find victims of a disaster or helping a hunting dog learn to perform its instinctive behaviors at appropriate times.Here’s a nice video that d
We were playing peek-a-boo. I would unfurl her pink fleece blanket over her entire body and then whip it off to make her shriek with delight. Our simple game had been going for about five minutes and my toddler had decomposed into a mess of giggles.Once again I flung the blanket over her tiny body. And then everything went blank. I heard myself asking, "where's Penelope," in a stranger's voice and thought, 'what an odd sounding name.' I looked puzzled down at the blanket with a squirming bulge underneath and couldn't for the life of me think of who might lie underneath. Off came the blanket. There, laughing up at me lay the most beautiful little girl imaginable. She had bright blue eyes full of glee and gave me a look of pure adoration. "Here I am, Mommy!" she yelled and to my surprise she flung her arms around my neck in an intense embrace.In an instant, it all came rushing back. She was mine. My mental black-out only lasted 2 seconds tops but it was enough time for me
Nothing deep today... Elijah has croup now, and has found the only place he is truly happy is my shoulder. Also, he's stuffed up and isn't nursing well... so he has been nursing way more often for short periods of time. Exhausting stuff. Malachi's favorite sandwich this week ...Nutella & Banana (in the trend of Malachi pretty sure next week it will be "icky")(I discovered Nutella in Norway. It's a staple there.) Anyway.Last Night: Malachi: when I'm 7 will I still be Malachi? Tim: yes you will Josiah: I want Malachi to be "mal malâ€â€¦ please? Your name is Malachi? Well, what should I call you? What Malachi tells people when they ask him what he "goes by†: Malachi: you can call me mal or you can call me kai or you can call me Malachi. (ps. Malachi likes to accommodate people… He "goes by†Malachi.) And finally… For any of you parents who have endured the repeated screaming of a four-year-old child and thought that oh-m
