"Somehow I can't believe that there are any heights that can't be scaled by a man who knows the secrets of making dreams come true. This special secret - curiosity, confidence, courage, and constancy, and the greatest of all is confidence. When you believe in a thing, believe in it all the way, implicitly and unquestionable." -

New Home Decor Trend: Add mirrors in All Shapes and Sizes
When you want to spruce up a room, why not add a mirror? It  can add light and depth, and you won't have to push out a wall or add a window to do it.
A framed mirror is attractive, hanging alone or in a group. What's more, it can be far less expensive than adding art work to a wall and less risky. Sizeable art pieces can overwhelm a room.
The big choice in mirror frames can make them compatible with any room of the house. A little care should be taken so the frame goes with the furniture. A rustic frame, for example, would be out of place in a room with polished furniture in cherry or white finishes.
Some decorators are leaning framed mirrors against a wall for a dramatic effect. They are choosing wide frames in a variety of finishes and hues. Even floor mirrors can be doubled or tripled for a striking effect.
In a small room, a standing mirror can do wonders. It opens up the space by reflecting the outdoors and the furniture. In bathrooms, the new trend is to upsize mirrors so they fill out the entire space above a long vanity or counter. |
A Traffic Danger: Driving with Dogs
Some dogs ride in a car pretty much like a person does. They will sit next to the driver and look out the window. Still, if they spot another dog, one they don't like, they could bark like mad and jump all over the car, including onto the driver's lap so he can't see.
About 60 percent of dog owners have driven while distracted by pets who were passengers, according to a survey by the American Automobile Association. Only about one in six uses a restraint, such as a harness or pet vehicle seat.
Restraints can keep a pet from distracting the driver. But in a crash, they also protect the pet and other occupants of the car.
A 10-pound dog in a crash at 50 mph will exert 500 pounds of force on whatever it strikes. An 80-pound dog in a crash at just 30 mph will exert 2,400 pounds. Further, unrestrained dogs distract drivers by interfering with the ability to steer or by crawling onto the foot pedals.
At the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, they recommend restraints for dogs and cats. The best way to think about it is to compare the dog to having a child in the car.
About 40 percent of American households have a dog, according to the American Pet Products Association. Dogs are like members of the family and often ride with them in their cars.
Dogs need to buckle up just as people do, but you have to do it for them. |
