By Cathy Hobbs Tribune News Service Published 5:06 PM EDT Apr 18, 2019 When it comes to creating character, some may argue there is no substitute for wood. Real wood is unique, no two pieces identical. For many reasons, wood is one of the main — if not preferred — materials of artisans. These days many interior designers and homeowners are also looking to wood more than ever as a way to infuse one-of-a-kind or unexpected design elements into a space. Love the look of wood but need some ideas? Here are some top tips. 1. Look for an inspiration or conversation piece. A single showstopping wood piece can help make a bold statement in a room. 2. Buy local. This is an opportunity for you to purchase a signature piece and support your community. 3. Consider organic shapes or elements such as live edge. These are design elements in which instead of a saw cutting a straight line, the natural edge of a piece of wood is shown or enhanced. 4.

Roar restored, Tiger Woods capable of breaking Jack Nicklaus’ record
John Niyo The Detroit News Published 5:34 PM EDT Apr 15, 2019 A “maybe” will do for now. And as he tried process all the churning emotions following what was arguably his most satisfying golfing achievement, Tiger Woods admitted he’ll “probably” give it some thought before too long. But it had been so long since he’d felt like this — and since he’d made everyone feel like that — it’s understandable that Woods wasn’t ready to go there just yet. "I'm sure that I'll probably think of it going down the road,” Woods told reporters Sunday, when asked about resuming his chase of Jack Nicklaus’ all-time record of 18 major championships victories. “Maybe, maybe not. But right now, it's a little soon, and I'm just enjoying 15." Savoring it, really. And who could blame him? Two years ago, when Woods returned for the annual Champions Dinner at Augusta National Golf Club, he needed a nerve … [Read more...] about Roar restored, Tiger Woods capable of breaking Jack Nicklaus’ record
In Masters final round, Woods faces the stars he helped create
Tony Finau may not have slept that mid-April Sunday night in 1997 after he’d watched Tiger Woods absolutely blitz the field in the Masters to take his first major championship.It was a transcendent sporting moment that made a 7-year-old kid of Tongan and American Samoa descent, growing up in Utah, dream of wearing his own green jacket someday.As for Francesco Molinari, who was 14 that spring, he’s not even sure he stayed up until the wee hours of the morning in Italy to watch a golf hero in his country, Costantino Rocca, get smoked by 15 shots in Woods’ record-setting win.“We all knew how it was going to end,” a grinning Molinari said, 22 years later, on Saturday evening of the 83rd Masters. Two men who were but boys when Woods turned golf upside down will stand next to the 43-year-old on the first tee on Sunday morning at Augusta National Golf Club.They are sizeable obstacles between Woods and his first Masters win in 14 years, and a first major triumph … [Read more...] about In Masters final round, Woods faces the stars he helped create
Trump to demand $8.6 billion in new wall funding, setting up fresh battle with Congress
Damian Paletta, The Washington Post Published 8:06 am PDT, Sunday, March 10, 2019 WASHINGTON - President Donald Trump on Monday will request at least another $8.6 billion in funding to build more sections of a wall along the Mexico border, setting up a fresh battle with Congress less than one month after Trump declared a national emergency. In Trump's annual budget request to Congress, he will request $5 billion in funding for the Department of Homeland Security to continue building sections of a wall along the Mexico border, three people briefed on the request said. He will request another $3.6 billion for the Department of Defense's military construction budget to erect more sections of a wall. The people describing the request spoke on the condition of anonymity because the budget had not been made public yet, but a top White House official acknowledged the request in an interview on Fox News Sunday. Reuters first reported the $8.6 billion figure. Asked if Trump's … [Read more...] about Trump to demand $8.6 billion in new wall funding, setting up fresh battle with Congress
Scorned ex stabbed former lover 14 times as she cut hair in beauty salon
HOLLIE Gazzard was finishing off a cut on her final client of the day when she heard the voice of her ex, Asher Maslin, behind her, and felt the sharp sting of a blade in her side. The Gloucester hairdresser, 20, had broken up with Maslin four days earlier, but her possessive ex wasn't willing to accept they were over and stabbed her 14 times as she worked. Chilling CCTV footage, set to be shown on tonight’s Stalked: Murder In Slow Motion, shows broke Maslin, 21, selling his DVD player to raise funds to buy the 12-inch kitchen knife used to attack Hollie. He then bombarded the young hairdresser with abusive texts, including one that said: “I don’t want to get f***ing violent as I’ll take it too far." Hollie, who dumped Maslin on Valentine’s Day after he became controlling and abusive, had reported him to the police on February 16th, but they had been unable to find him. Two days later, he texted her sister Chloe’s partner, saying: “I … [Read more...] about Scorned ex stabbed former lover 14 times as she cut hair in beauty salon
