You know, it’s easy to look back at the past through rose-colored glasses and claim that everything was better when we were kids, but guess what: it wasn’t. In fact, things were objectively worse in a lot of ways (are you really going to tell me that a broken-down Nintendo Entertainment System is better than an Xbox 360?). But one thing will always be true: Saturday morning cartoons suck. For every masterpiece like a Ren & Stimpy, there’s 20 completely abysmal abortions that kids watch because kids are stupid.

Like most people I am constantly up on poodle news, what’s going on in the poodle world, who’s who among poodles etc.. It seems national media attention is always on the poodle whether it be a story on poodle scientists or a in depth interview with Joe Lieberman’s poodle “Hadassah”…. Alright most people don’t care about poodles, in fact there are very few people who have seen a glimpse of the breme and bizarre world of poodle breeding. I only stumbled on this touch of insanity when Googling “poodle” for a Photoshop job. I panned quickly through pages of freak poodles before finding a normal looking poodle, realizing along the way that there was an easy phoned in article there. So now without further ado I present you with a parade of poodles made repugnant.

PINK POODLE

Though it looks suspiciously like a rejected Pokemon this one falls on the “normal” side.

PANDLE

Actually kind of cute. Unfortunately as a dog and a panda it can never ever go to China for fear of becoming a delicacy. Okay that is a racist stereotype and a hackneyed joke. I intend to sell it to Jeff Dunham.

Wallpapers have been in use for years due to their easy to use nature. Earlier it was all about flawless and smooth surfaced walls. Today wall papers are becoming fashion statements for the interiors. The smelly paints are no longer an option for decorative walls. Ever since ‘featured wall’ (a single wall being the focal point of the room) is the trend, designers are coming up with bold colors and patterns. Wallpapers have become a platform for innovation that makes them so different-from the textured to the light emitting wallpaper. Wallpaper is aesthetics minus mess. Check out the latest and varied trends in wallpaper designs.

This high quality wallpaper is one of the Cityspace Wallpaper Collection by The House Couturier. The design is hand painted in the studio and then printed by roll. Coming in six different colors, it creates a contemporary effect for the walls.

With Valentine’s Day just around the corner we thought we would take a look at what is sometimes referred to as the Hallmark Holiday (debate that amongst yourselves). If you need to get into the mood a little you can listen to fabulous “Valentine” by Kina Grannis.

10. Playing the Recorder

From various episodes we know he is a seasoned Recorder artist and we have seen him play such hits as Mambo No. 5, Greensleeves, The Longest Time, On the Wings of Love and You Give Love a Bad Name.

Where to obtain skill?

While your best bet is the local music shop or a teacher on Craigslist, you can always get a start online. Head to Amazon to pick yourself up a cheap recorder and then hop over to 8notes to find sheet music and beginning lessons.
