Do Tell: What Would You Save If Your House Was on Fire?
It's scary how many wildfires we seem to have in California these days. The tragedies always make me think about how awful it would be to go through a fire, and I start to ponder the hypothetical question of what I would save if my house were burning.
My mom often said that if she could only save one thing, it would be our family photos — though that's not as relevant today in the age of digital photography.

Artists Plan to Freeze a Vacant Detroit Home
This Winter, photographer Gregory Holm and architect Matthew Radune plan to freeze one of the thousands of abandoned homes in Detroit to draw attention to the city's foreclosure crisis. The house will be sprayed with water and gradually covered in ice, and Holm will photograph its transformation for the project, called Ice House Detroit. The property that's chosen will be one that is already due for demolition, because it is fire damaged or dangerous to the public.
This Ain't No Silly Rabbit: Bunny Saves Family From Fire
You usually hear heroic tales of dogs rushing to the rescue of their owners from seizures, accidents, and fires, but this is one story you don't hear everyday, and one that CoralAmber just had to share with me. A Melbourne family was rescued from a house fire by their pet bunny named "Rabbit", who alerted them of the trouble. How the heck did a rabbit do that, you ask?

If you're a design enthusiast and a New Orleans fanatic like me, you know Bryan Batt as a co-owner (with his partner Tom Cianfichi) of one of NOLA's finest décor boutiques, Hazelnut. I featured the boutique back in February of '08, and now Batt is set to ink his own home décor book. If you're just mad for Mad Men, you know him as Sterling-Cooper's in-the-closet, recently fired art director Salvatore Romano.

Grey's Anatomy Rundown, "I Saw What I Saw"
Another one bites the dust. This week Grey's Anatomy took a break from the typical episode fodder, and instead we are treated to a whodunnit-style murder mystery when one of the doctors loses a patient in the midst of a crisis situation. We hear each doctor's story one by one, and when the cause of death is finally discovered someone is sent home.
"Giant Pair of Knickers" to the Rescue!
Some woman's underpants were used to extinguish a small house fire in the UK and this somehow made the news. What kills me is how the reporter here refers to the undergarment as a "giant pair of knickers," while sometimes adding hand gestures for extra-"large" emphasis. Meanwhile, the owner of the underpants stands by as if this is objective news.
Desperate Housewives Rundown, "The God-Why-Don't-You-Love-Me Blues"
Secrets came to the surface on this week's Desperate Housewives, like Katherine's obsession with sneaking into Mike and Susan's house (cuckoo!), Julie's scandalous affair — and best of all, we learn more about the mysterious Bolen family, which has me totally intrigued.
