Wine-inspired Decorating Styles

Wine can be a great decorating inspiration that a lot of people find attractive. It is most often used as a theme when people are planning the d?cor of a kitchen or dining room. Individuals who chose this idea are in for a treat: most will find that collecting items to enhance their room is a very enjoyable pursuit. Things that they can look for can include anything from artwork featuring wine bottles to grapes and vines positioned for effect around the room.

You will come across many things with which to decorate your wine room. There really is a vast range of wine pictures to consider. The variety of items available is incredible and you will find a lot of inspiration to fine tune your design.

There is indeed a great diversity of original wine artwork to make your choice from. From artistic black and white pictures through to attractive scenes in full color you can find a picture that brings your scheme together.

You should consider basing the entire scheme of your room around one eye-catching and carefully selected piece of art. Your wine room can be designed around a wine picture that you are really keen on and want to show off in your home. It can be a really fun process to use your chosen piece of artwork as the center of your scheme. For instance you can draw inspiration from its colors to select the tones to use in the rest of your room and for the flooring, furniture and furnishings.

The function of the room you pick to decorate with a wine theme does not really have much of an incidence on how you apply this method. There is a great variety of suitable wine-inspired pictures to choose from for all kinds of room and they will help you achieve the look you are after. This process is a very good way to maximize the impact of your design ideas and helps tie in the entire scheme. There are many decorative items, wallpapers and borders that you can use all around your home for this.

You may however struggle to find the perfect piece of art to set off your entire room. If this is the case you should consider creating your very own. Simply paint your own original art on canvas, select an attractive frame and give it pride of place in your wine room.

Roligs in Malawi: What I Have Learned from a Year as a Peace Corps Volunteer in Malawi

Fri, 17 Oct 08 07:57:09 -0700
A few weeks ago we celebrated our one year anniversary of living in Malawi. Here are some of the things I have learned (or been reminded of) in the last year: 1. Electricity is overrated. 2. Water is undervalued and overused. 3. To appreciate all the work towards gender equality of the women before me. Yes, there is still a long way to go, but after living in a place where women are second class citizens, I am inspired and appreciative of their efforts, risks and sacrifices. 4. Even the deepest

I made a trip to Costco yesterday to buy index cards. (Believe it or not, index cards are the building blocks of this blog.) The store didn’t have any, but it did have four long aisles stocked with Christmas supplies: lights, laughing Santas, and artificial trees. “Are people thinking about the holidays already?”, I wondered. Turns out they are. In the Get Rich Slowly discussion forums, Samantha is asking for frugal Christmas ideas: We sat down to develop a Christmas budget for the first time

Scientists Say New Wine May be Effective Eczema Treatment

Germans scientists have turned their talents to the world of gastronomy and produced seaweed wine - which, in addition to its epicurean delight, will apparently help improve eczema. While we can't vouch for its success at your next dinner party, we can appreciate its benefits to the skin - although a shielding lotion may be a more appropriate external eczema treatment.

What does seaweed have to offer? It has long been considered a 'super food' - fat-free, low calorie, and full of vital minerals such as calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, iron, iodine and sodium. In fact, some seaweed contains those minerals in the same ratios and concentrations found in human blood.

In addition to nourishing the body, one of the most important health benefits of seaweed is its ability to remove radioactive strontium and other heavy metals from the body. Whole brown seaweed, such as is used in seaweed wine, contains alginic acid which binds with the toxins in the intestines and carries them out of the system - preventing them from being eliminated through the skin, as is the case with eczema flare-ups.

If you don't fancy the wine, you might try adding seaweed to your diet in other forms. It can be found in most health food stores, or those that sell ingredients for Japanese food. You can add strips of it to soup, use it to make a soup broth, or eat it dried as a snack. The red algae seaweed, such as nori, agar-agar, and Irish moss are also very good for you. Nori is the seaweed used to wrap sushi, but Gaelic people also mix it with flour to make bread. Agar-agar is a gel used as a base in many Japanese desserts, and dried Irish moss is most often used in relishes, breads, soups and fritters.

In addition to shoring up your diet with seaweed and other healthy foods, the skin also requires protection from harsh chemicals and other external toxins if you want to avoid eczema flare-ups. Hundreds of dermatologists are now recommending a good shielding lotion as an effective external eczema treatment, although, who knows, if seaweed wine gets really popular we may soon be shopping for our body care products at the local vineyard.

Steps for Getting Rid of Weeds 1) Begin planting your plants as you would, amending the soil and working in the appropriate nutrients. 2) Wet single pieces of newspaper. A spray bottle works best. 3) Place the newspaper around the base of the plant. Continue to do this, overlapping sheets of newsprint as you go. The idea is to layer the newspaper around the root structure. Create a covering at least six sheets thick, but don’t go any thick than 10 or so. While weeds can work their way throug
