I grew up in the northwest and although I am not Native American, I was surrounded by a lot of Native American art. (My dad worked for one of the tribes.) It seems perfectly natural to me that an artist in that environment, regardless of where their own distant ancestors came from, would be influenced by local styles and adopt elements of them in their work. I don't think it's the same as the Navajo case; he's not (as far as I can tell) marketing his art as Salish, Native, or whatever. Personally, it's not to my taste, but what's the big deal? There's room for everyone when it comes to making art. Seattle-Centric Prints from Peace for Profit |

The contact paper solution is genius. Two questions: (1) what happens when you go to remove contact paper from a surface like this after it has been there for a long time - does it come right off, or does it leave dried-up stickiness on the countertop? Just wondering about the practicality for when I eventually move out and need to return the kitchen to its original state. And (2) where does one buy contact paper like this?

Interesting, but please watch your units - it uses 800 watt hours per day, not 800 watts per day. Thank you! Could You Live on 800 Watts a Day? |

tin_angel's friend's statement that "the leading cause of carbon emissions in the whole world is methane from the vast numbers of cows" is not correct. Methane from cows is an important source of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions (as is carbon dioxide from cars), but electricity and heat generation is the single largest source of emissions by sector, accounting for 31% of global GHG emissions. Agriculture accounts for 16.9% and transportation for 14.6%. (Note that not all of the agricultural emissions are methane from cows - there is also N2O from fertilizer, etc.) Source.

I'm going through the cure way out of order, so I'm a bit out of step, but over the weekend my bedroom got completely revamped. I'd been plugging along without seeing much in the way of results, and suddenly, boom! So I'm newly motivated. The living room comes next. Before and after photos are here.
