It’s taken many years for most interior designers to come to a general agreement on decorating rules. As with everything else in life, one size does not fit all. The guidelines work well in most cases but there are always exceptions. Sometimes rules are meant to be bent and broken and that’s what I’m aiming to do today. …

I like to talk to our station’s listeners. I answer the phone and I try to answer their questions although I do plead the fifth if something might not reflect well on the station. For example, they don’t need to know the nuts and bolts about music rotation and that kind of thing. Those details would just seem a little insane to someone outside of the business, even though there are legitimate reasons for why we do what we do the way we do it! …

Federal Natural Resources Minister Lisa Raitt was forced, some say by the Prime Minister’s Office, to say she was sorry for calling the scarcity of medical isotopes a “sexy” situation for her ministry. What a load of hooey. I don’t think she had anything to apologize for. …
