Orange warms up home decor this fall Use this hue creatively and carefully Melissa Rayworth THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Leaves are changing and pumpkins are appearing on doorsteps. As vibrant shades of orange fill the outdoors, they’re also becoming increasingly popular inside. Upholstery fabrics, paint colours, furniture and accessories that range from neon orange to tangerine to terra cotta are getting attention this season. But orange isn’t for everyone. When interior designers suggest decorating with orange, clients can get nervous. Designer Kyle Schuneman often eases homeowners into using orange by suggesting variations on it. “The idea of orange can sound juvenile and unsophisticated,” Schuneman says. “But if you go with umbers, burnt bricks or terra cottas,

Designer Brian Patrick Flynn has layered deep shades of orange accented with shades of blue to create a cosy, inviting room, left. At right, Flynn uses pops of orange in a black and white room to bring energy to a home workspace. you can sell a client on the idea much easier.” The key, he says, is using orange creatively and carefully. Here, Schuneman and designers Brian Patrick Flynn and Betsy Burnham offer tips on decorating with the

colour orange, and avoiding the pitfalls of using it badly.

HOW MUCH TO USE? Orange can be overpowering as the main colour in a room. But, like red, it works brilliantly as an accent colour. “I don’t suggest

painting your walls orange,” Burnham says. “But maybe there’s an orange in the print on your pillows.” It can be casual (“maybe you bring in a garden stool that’s bright orange”), or chic and sophisticated (“think of Hermes orange, those shop-

ping boxes”), she says. In a bedroom with muted, grey-blue walls, Burnham added lacquered end tables in a rich shade of orange. Orange paint can also be a great way to spruce up a dated piece of furniture. “Think about painting a

great old chest of drawers a beautiful shade in a high gloss,” Schuneman says, “and changing out the knobs to really special crystal knobs to make a statement piece in a room.”

Orange Youthful

Make it right

and edgy rooms

Continued from F1 WHICH SHADES ARE BEST? All three designers like earthy burnt orange tones that are almost as brown as they are orange. “With a bur nt orange, you’d be surprised what the paint chip looks like,” Bur nham says. “It looks more like a brown. But you paint a piece of furniture that colour, and it reads orange. It does what it’s supposed to do — it brings some whimsy.” Flynn also likes using red-orange, “ideal for more youthful or edgy rooms.” The style of your home may help determine which shades you choose, says Schuneman. “Terra cotta is a beautiful backdrop for a traditional or retro feeling space, while pops of a more neon orange could be really fun for a modern space.” Whatever tone you choose, Schuneman suggests testing a sample if you’ve decided to take the plunge and paint with orange. “Try three or four different shades,” he says, and view them in various types of daylight and artificial light. Also, he says, “orange is a lot like red when you’re painting, so you’re going to need three or four coats to get an even finish. But the end product will be a beautiful cosy space.” Just one word of warning: “Don’t go with a true shade of orange,” Schuneman says. “It will feel like Pee-Wee’s Playhouse.”

The Holmes Group

Mike Holmes takes a look at an electrical box. Not all home inspectors look for the same things, but that’s starting to change.

Inspection industry changes mIKE HOLMES Make it Right

I’ve been saying it for years. The home inspection industry is like the Wild West — a lot of cowboys but not a lot of sheriffs. Throughout most of Canada, the industry is selfregulated by different associations with different sets of standards. No one’s playing by the same set of rules and it’s caused bad outcomes. But this is starting to change. More and more provinces are setting standards that will help make sure homeowners get what they pay for. Until recently, Alberta and British Columbia were the only provinces that required home inspectors to be licensed. But now Ontario is starting to set minimum industry standards and I’m proud to be working with the provincial government to help push this forward. It’s definitely a step in the right direction. As part of its consumer protection initiative the Ontario government is beginning to set minimum qualifications for all home inspectors operating in the province. The rest of Canada needs to get behind this so

we’re all on the same page moving forward. I don’t care where you live — Nova Scotia, Manitoba, Nunavut or Saskatchewan — every Canadian should be getting a qualified and full assessment of their home every time they get a home inspection. There needs to be consistency between all home inspections performed in Canada no matter where you live. Every home inspection should be good and protect the huge investment homeowners are making. Too many homeowners have ended up in bad situations because a home inspection didn’t turn up major issues. These are problems that should have been caught before homeowners buy their home. Things like dangerous electrical, mould, bad structure, asbestos, undersized HVAC. And this is after the homeowners have had a home inspection. It’s bad enough that homeowners are wasting their money — some home inspection reports aren’t worth the paper they’re written on. But the real danger here is all the problems homeowners are forced to face just because a home inspection didn’t do its job, which is to protect the homeowner. I’m talking about thousands of dollars worth of repairs. Do you think many homeowners who just bought a house will

have that kind of money? In most cases, homeowners — and their families — will live in a home that needs major repairs for years. Why? Because they bought a house that turned out to be a can of worms and they can’t afford to repair it. Sometimes these conditions are bad for their health. If we’re talking about something like dangerous electrical, it can be life threatening. Not to mention all the emotional stress these families are put through. The argument goes something like this: Home inspectors can only comment on what they can see. So if they miss things like mould, faulty wiring or improper ventilation they can’t be held accountable. Home inspectors can’t go moving furniture, poking holes in drywall or ripping up floors. I get that. But I’ve seen plenty of homes where the clues on the surface tell me there are huge problems brewing underneath. Every home inspector in the country should know where to look, what to look for and what it all means. For example, everyone thinks icicles on the roof during winter are nice. But icicles tell me that there are problems with the roof and insulation in the attic — and every home inspector should know this too. I’ve heard of home inspectors

who will do an inspection in the evening after they finish their day job, and I don’t know how well you can examine a roof properly in the dark. Without a doubt, there are good home inspectors working in the industry. But we need to take the necessary measures that will make sure there are only good inspectors working in the industry. We can’t afford not too. We need more home inspectors who have a complete understanding of all of the components in a home and how they work together. Home inspectors who can see if a supporting wall has been removed or structure compromised. Home inspectors that are proud of their work and care about the people it affects. These are the good guys and there needs to be more of them. I think a lot of us want the same thing. I know homeowners do. And I know good home inspectors understand that by raising standards across the board we’re honouring their skills, strengthening their industry and improving Canadian housing. It’s a win-win, folks.

The Associated Press

Designer Brian Patrick Flynn mixes patterned wallpaper and patterned curtains, both featuring the same shade of red-orange. but also can invigorate you to wake up in the mor ning.” Burnham is using orange and white gingham print draperies, along with navy blue and dark denim upholstery, to decorate the bedroom of a preteen boy. “It’s boyish, but sophisticated,” she says. “Not over-the-top country or anything. Sort of preppy.”

WHAT GOES WITH ORANGE? “I love pairing grey with orange,” Schuneman says. “It immediately amps up the hip factor and brings it into a contemporary setting. It works well because grey has a cool base, where orange is warm. So the balance really creates harmony in a room.” Along with pale greys and deep charcoals, orange also goes well with dark and light blues and also browns, taupe, cream or white.

WHERE DOES IT WORK? Orange can look good anywhere in your home, but these designers say it’s especially beautiful for bedrooms. “Orange is my favourite choice for kids’ rooms, because it’s totally genderneutral,” Flynn says. “My favourite combo for a kids’ space is tangerine and white. It’s clean and classic.” Schuneman ag rees: “I love a warm shade of orange for a bedroom. My last bedroom was a burnt brick. It felt so warm and cozy,” he says. “It really works well with dim lighting at night,

WHAT TO AVOID? “I find yellow-orange the hardest to work with,” Flynn says, “because it’s very limited in accent colour choices.” Burnham agrees, saying it’s best to avoid “that school-bus orange.” If you’re going with a bright orange, just be sure you’ll enjoy it long-term. Edgy, bright shades are “really going to pop and give your room some personality,” Burnham says. But “a little goes a long way,” and what’s hot today may quickly go out of style. “Like any trend,” she says, “use it sparingly.”

curb appeal

Entryway details provide welcome with a wow Big impact on a small budget Suzanne Rowe Postmedia News This is the entryway to the owner’s home. It is situated inside a driveway, so it leaves us only two feet out from the wall to create a miracle. The budget is tiny but the expectations are huge. The proprietor already invested time and money on the interior with numerous renovations. The mission: the door had to say welcome and the entrance had to have a huge wow factor. (Beware, the tape will auto destruct as soon as I finish writing this sentence.) A custom-made mini pergola overhang would frame the space to give it a vocation. This architectural detail and two mural beams on each side, stained in opaque charcoal, could serve a practical purpose. It would create a visual boundary, a cosy outdoor room with inviting seating areas. Not seen here, the actual doors on the front side as well as the garage are currently red. Although this colour is often my favourite choice, in this case the tawny shade of the bricks was visually competing with the red hue. For instance, I would never wear a rust scarf with a red coat, would you? The same idea applies to rooms or houses. Pitchy black doors with red bricks and white windows are always classic and elegant. To make small quarters look more expansive, a repetition of the same colours is a plus. The existent turquoise plastic chairs could easily be painted black

but a new pair of nonchalant folding ones, decorated with tailored white and black piping seat cushions would look unparalleled and more contemporary. As an added bonus, they wouldn’t take a lot of storage room. Exotic furniture made out of natural wood stumps or roots are very in right now, but can be very expensive. An improvised table recuperated from the cutting of a birch or maple in the neighbourhood could act as its rich cousin with no cost at all. Add a black or stainless steel sleek serving tray on top and voila! Lemonade anyone? A made-to-measure, ample in height and depth, window box will be constructed in the same width as the window and will host two different size annuals as well as cascading English ivy. On the left side of the room area will be the new barbecue station. Under the bigger window, a sturdy ebony bench enhanced with black and white cushions could serve as extra seating or serving table. To use all the available room, three dark flower containers stowed under the long seat, will bring a nice organic pop of white against the inky tint and shadow from the furnishing. Details are essential, especially in small spaces. The window treatment has to be constant in type, continuous in colour and also harmonized with the exterior. To minimize the appearance of the unsightly pipe on the right, it should be painted the exact colour of the wall behind it; top part in reddishbrown and base in cement tone. The various samples of weeds in between the driveway and wall should be eliminated. To finish the look and for brighter luminosity, a bold electrical fixture will be centred on top of the door

Postmedia News photos

A custom-made pergola will create a visual boundary and an inviting outdoor space. suspended from the wooden roof structure. Two pillar candle glass wall lanterns would provide a romantic mood with a softer glow for a quiet tete-a-tete. On a clear night, one could even lie back on the bench and try to stargaze at the serene strip of the night sky between the two towering buildings. This is a column in which designer Suzanne Rowe selects homes that could benefit from a little inexpensive help in increasing their curb appeal. After examining photographs, she sketches a rendering of what they could look like with a few minor changes. We hope you enjoy the results.

With the front door off the driveway, creating an inviting entryway is especially challenging.

Advice

Layering window treatments will improve sleep Jeffrey Fisher Postmedia News Q: I never thought I’d be writing begrudging my good fortune, but here goes. My husband and I are moving into a new-build home at the end of October and our master bedroom is practically all windows. At the time of purchase (when it was nothing but a floor plan on paper), I was excited by all the natural light, but now that it’s time to dress the windows, I’m feeling overwhelmed. My husband requires a dark room in order to sleep but I don’t want the room to be entirely blackout blinds. Help! A: I’m sure it’s hard to garner a lot of sympathy from your girlfriends on your impending window problem (what with all that enviable natural light), but I completely understand your concern. When you purchase a house from plans, it’s easy to get caught up in romanticizing the details without thinking ahead to the practicality of it all. I’ve selected a wonderfully sophisticated master bedroom designed by the Chicago firm James Thomas (jtliving.com) in the accompanying photo. Not only is the room a calming, elegant sanctuary but it also shares your window dilemma. I like that James layered the windows with both

The Roman blinds are mounted in the inside of the window casing (referred to as an “inside mount” in the design biz) and have a

blackout lining that prohibits light from penetrating through the main fabric. If your husband is adamant about complete blackout then I recommend placing Velcro on both the back edge of the blind and the window casing. That way, when you

Simple ideas to bring outdoors in, with a twist Samantha Pynn Postmedia News Q: Our basement is completely finished, but unfurnished, as we’ve spent the last two years renovating our entire house, including our outside deck. We’re now ready to tackle the basement. My husband thinks we can move our patio furniture to the basement during the winter. But wait, there is more. He wants to move the patio furniture back outside in the summer since we don’t spend much time inside in the warmer months. Please tell him, in writing, that he is insane! P.S. We have a healthy marriage. For now. A: I had a good laugh when I read your question. If you have patio furniture that looks like it could double indoors then sure, I can see a few pieces coming inside. Good-looking woven tuxedo sofas, ar mchairs and even coffee tables can work indoors. Check out the Andrew Richard website (andrewricharddesigns. com) for examples. Moving the entire woven set to the basement may look like you brought your high-end patio furniture inside because you had no where else to put it. Plus, the decor in your basement will look entirely different than the rest of your home. A couple of outdoor armchairs, paired with an upholstered indoor sofa and

In the photo we’ve included, the blue wicker coffee table that was originally intended for outdoor use. While the pale blue wicker sofa that’s peeking into the bottom corner of the photo came from a sunroom, it could easily be used outside with indoor-outdoor cushions. The Stockholm sofa is from Ikea. I love decorating this inexpensive tuxedo sofa on projects with a tight budget because it works with any style of furniture. The Stockholm sells for $1,599 and can be dressed up with silk pillows and Louis chairs, but also would look great with a few of your outdoor pieces. Some of the pil-

which to sleep. The side panels in this room are purely decorative. Decorative panels (as opposed to functional panels) definitely have their place in decor, and this room demonstrates that perfectly. Look closely at the window on the left of the fireplace and notice that the panel would not completely cover the window if drawn closed. Because the two windows on either side of the fireplace are different sizes, James helps the illusion of symmetry by making the drapery panels the same size and bringing balance to that side of the room. Instead of focusing on the mismatched windows, our eyes concentrate on the identical drapery panels on either side. If you don’t like the layered look, you could go with functional drapery panels lined with blackout lining. In this case, you simply draw the drapes at night (or midday for that matter) and your room will be sleepy-time dark. Another affordable option would be to hang a faux Roman blind in the window with a blackout roller blind behind it. You get a softening effect with the faux Roman and the required blackout from the hidden roller blind. Bedtime would be easy. Congratulations on your new home. I hope I’ve given you with usable ideas for covering your many windows.

And that’s the key, if only you know that your basement furniture is meant for the great outdoors, then don’t sweat it. But if your patio furniture is of the white plastic grocery store variety, or you’re talking about aluminum chairs and a table with a hole in the middle, then, and I mean this in the nicest way, you are insane because there is positively no place for an umbrella in your basement.

Painting project a real drip

Take the stress out of condo moving

Reena Nerbas For Postmedia News Q: I want to paint my living/dining room, which has oilbase paint on it. To prepare the walls to use latex paint, I was told I had two choices: Go with a primer and then two coats of paint or sand the wall lightly to take the gloss off and then go with a paint that has built in primer. Because it was a large area, I went with the latter and did all the right stuff including washing the wall after. I was told not to skimp on the paint and not to go back and rework any missed area as it dries very quickly. The paint went on beautifully, however, when I went to do the second coat I saw that, in places, there were areas where the paint had actually dripped and then stopped midway. It was very noticeable and so discouraging. I then had to scrape it off, patch and redo. I am using a brand new microfibre 10 mm roller, the size suggested. I was so frustrated that I stopped painting after one wall. Have you ever come across this before and if so what should I do differently when I get up the courage to finish the rest? Unfortunately I have another full gallon, so I will have to use it up. A: I can feel your frustration because I have found myself in similar situations. Paint quality is often the culprit between a happy paint project and a screaming-on-the inside moment. If the paint is thin, it will run and drip down the wall. If the paint is not adhering to the wall, it will also run down the wall. Paint experts often recommend preparing walls with a trisodium phosphate wash before painting, to remove greasy residue caused by cooking and everyday dust. Since you followed the advice given to you by the retailer, why not take the paint back and talk to them about the issue that you are having. When paint projects work the way they are supposed to, they can be a therapeutic, fun experience. Don’t hesitate to confer with the paint specialist that sold you the paint (bring your receipt with you).

Marilyn Wilson Postmedia News It is a truth universally acknowledged that moving day is stressful. The packing of the things, the goodbyes to your old home and the moving of the items you’ve packed will all take time and effort. Possessions may get broken, thrown away or lost in the shuffle (at least temporarily). And while moving into a condo is not as simple as moving into a single home, it’s also an exciting moment. So here is some advice you can use to make your shift to condo living a little closer to flawless. You may have booked your movers months ago, having carefully chosen them based on recommendations from your neighbour and your mother-in-law. That’s a great start. But if not, be sure to get three quotes and remember that you get what you pay for — the lowest quote is not always the best or least expensive in the long run. Mike Kohlberg has been in the moving business for 35 years and says once you have your three quotes, go by your comfort level with the mover rather than the lowest price. It’s wonderful knowing you’ve selected people who will treat your “goods” with as much respect as you do. But don’t leave it there. Make sure to tell your movers exactly what they’ll be moving. Many people ignore items from the list thinking they may add them on moving day, but the truck that accompanies your movers may then be too small and they will have to scramble around to order a larger truck. Additionally, the company may not bring enough people to move such a large load and your day and stress will thus be prolonged, while the cost rises. While local moves are generally billed by time, long-distance moves are charged according to weight. When moving to a condo, you want to make sure you tell your movers exactly where you are moving. Is it a highrise or townhouse? Are there many steps or levels? Some condos are two-storey or have a loft while some townhouses are four and five levels. This may make a difference as access to the property will be different and your movers need to plan ahead. If your last move was into a detached home, this difference may not occur to you. Single-family dwellings have easier access — while condo access is limited by time, parking, traffic and use of service and occupant elevators. This last concern is a big one.

Fotolia

When getting ready to move, consider recommendations from family members and friends and also obtain at least three quotes from different moving companies. If you arrive with a moving crew and find that another occupant is moving in or out, you may have to share the elevator. This will be much less convenient as you will have to share space and time with this new neighbour, which may not be appreciated and may add to your and the movers’ stress level. When booking your elevator, check the condo building’s rules on how long you may book the elevator as there may be constraints on this. According to Kohlberg, the best advice for your move is to ask the condo corporation a lot of questions and give your moving company as much advance information as you can. This is why you must ensure that you have booked the elevator for your move-in date. On top of this restriction is the added headache of parking problems. Many movers may skirt around this problem by double parking, leading to a parking ticket that is calculated into your move. This is why it’s important to be specific about the details of your new condo when moving. Kohlberg has been in the moving business for 35 years and owns both Royal Moving Inc. in Ottawa and Outaouais Moving in nearby Hull, Que. He tells me about a move in which a client got stuck with paying additional costs when the large moving van holding their beloved belongings could not access their new condo building’s entrance,

may take much longer. Don’t forget to consider other building restrictions. Is there, for instance, a service entrance for movers? Can the lobby be used during moves? What kind of access to the building will the movers have on that particular day? These issues are all key as they impact the price of your move. Remember, time is money. So use your condo sense and get your information organized along with your boxes so you can be a mover and shaker.

due to construction and contractors’ trucks. The movers had to park far away and rent a smaller truck to shuttle the belongings from one truck to another and then begin the move into the condo. Had the owner waited until the condo was completed, the costs would have been much lower. Having considered outside restrictions, such as those related to parking, let’s move inside. Remember that moves to condo buildings usually necessitate the use of elevators. These moves may take longer as you have to wait for the time it takes the load to go up and the movers to come back down between loads. The higher the floor the longer the wait.

Venezuela Election

Military a potential arbiter and wild card Chavez’s use of army criticized Frank Bajak THE ASSOCIATED PRESS CARACAS, Venezuela — The shadow of the Venezuelan military hangs over Sunday’s presidential election, with many people wondering how the armed forces might react if President Hugo Chavez stumbles in his fight to stay in power. Chavez has spent nearly 14 years consolidating control over state institutions, but ultimately only the military has the clout to determine who will prevail if the election results are close and disputed. The opposition contends Chavez has already been employing the military in a political role even though the constitution forbids it. His challenger, Henrique Capriles, tweeted a photo this week showing soldiers appearing to shed olivegreen fatigue tops in favour of the red T-shirts worn by the “Chavistas” who crowd the president’s rallies. “In my government nobody will be obliged to don the T-shirt of a political party, least of all our soldiers,” Capriles wrote, putting new attention on the military’s potentially crucial postelection role. The information ministry didn’t respond to requests for comment on the claim by the opposition, which has long voiced concerns about Chavez putting his loyalists into the armed forces’ top commands. “The armed forces will be the key arbiter of the elec-

Supporters of opposition presidential candidate Henrique Capriles cheer during his closing campaign rally in Barquisimeto, Venezuela, on Thursday. Capriles will run against President Hugo Chavez in the presidential elections Sunday. tion process,” said Diego Moya-Ocampos, an analyst with IHS Global Insight. He said that will be especially true if Capriles manages to eke out a narrow victory and Chavez’s side resists. Chavez’s own background shows how crucial, and divided, the military can be. As a 37-year-old lieutenant colonel, he led a failed 1992 coup attempt that brought him to widespread public attention. A decade later, after he was pardoned for the uprising and then elected president, some military officers joined in a plot that ousted Chavez for two days in 2002. Both times, the coup failed in large part because a sizable share of the military

refused to go along. The last successful coup occurred when troops ousted military-imposed President Marcos Perez Jimenez in 1958, during an era when coups across Latin America were far more common than they are now. Retired military officers say there are deep divisions within the armed forces, but they believe many of the roughly 8,500 rank-and-file officers who form the core of the 125,000-strong military would accept the voters’ choice. The chairman of Venezuela’s joint chiefs, Gen. Wilmer Barrientos, said on national television last month that the military would “heed

the constitution and respect the will of the people” in Sunday’s vote. But some Chavistas in the military high command haven’t been acting impartially as another six-year term for their boss hangs in the balance. The defence minister, Gen. Henry Rangel Silva, has been on state-run TV all week, here touring a remodelled military hospital, there touting auto repair shops that he said the government plans to create under partial military control. In late 2010, Rangel angered many Venezuelans by saying in a newspaper interview that neither the military nor the public would ac-

Rangel made headlines again this week with a claim that Capriles plans to dismantle the armed forces. Capriles, a centre-left former governor, had just announced that he had chosen an active general, whom he did not identify, to be his defence minister. The announcement indicated the military leadership is not entirely in lockstep with Chavez’s populist rule, which human rights groups say has consistently violated the civil liberties of its foes. A recently retired senior

general who supports the opposition told The Associated Press that dozens of officers, including generals, remain on active duty but without assigned jobs, effectively shunted aside in favour of Chavez’s political loyalists “There’s great turmoil in the institution,” said the retired officer, who agreed to discuss the situation only if not quoted by name, because he feared reprisals from the government. He said Capriles’ camp has been holding secret meetings with active-duty officers at which “batteries are removed from cellphones” so eavesdroppers can’t listen in.

Loved and loathed, Putin celebrates 60th birthday

Syria warned of ‘fatal mistake’ Ece Toksabay Reuters ISTANBUL — Turkey’s prime minister said on Friday his country did not want war but warned Syria not to make a “fatal mistake” by testing its resolve, and its army retaliated for a third day after more mortar rounds from Syria landed on its soil. In a belligerent speech to a crowd in Istanbul, Turkish Prime Minister Tayyip Erdogan warned Syrian President Bashar Assad that Turkey would not shy away from war if provoked. The speech followed a Syrian mortar barrage on a town in southeast Turkey that killed five people on Wednesday. Turkish artillery bombarded Syrian military targets on Wednes-

Timothy Heritage Reuters MOSCOW — Russian President Vladimir Putin turns 60 on Sunday, his grip on power weaker than in the past but under little immediate threat if the oil price stays high. Adoring supporters will celebrate in cities from Siberia to Rostov-on-Don in southern Russia, where the ruling party’s loyal Young Guard will unfurl a banner on a bridge which they say symbolizes Putin’s role by uniting Asia and Europe. Opponents will make their feelings known much closer to home, protesting near Moscow’s Red Square under the banner: “We’re sending the old man into retirement.” The organizers plan to send their own symbolic message by asking protesters to bring gifts suitable for a pensioner — anything, perhaps, from reading glasses to a pipe. The man himself will be relaxing with his close family and plans no special celebrations, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said. Just a few months into a third term as president, he may be reaching retirement age, but has no plans to retire. After 12 years as Russia’s paramount leader, opinion polls show Putin enjoys higher ratings than most Western politicians, but they are down from their peak during the oil-fuelled economic boom of his first presidency from 2000 until 2008. In August, the independent Levada polling group said 48 per cent of Russians had a positive view of him compared to 60 per cent in May when he began a new six-year term. “Age doesn’t matter in what Vladimir Putin does or does not do,” said Konstantin von Eggert, a political commentator, adding

day and Thursday in response, killing several Syrian soldiers, and the Turkish parliament authorized cross-border military action in the event of further aggression. “We are not interested in war, but we’re not far from war either. This nation has come to where it is today having gone through intercontinental wars,” Erdogan said in his speech. “Those who attempt to test Turkey’s deterrence, its decisiveness, its capacity, I say here they are making a fatal mistake.” At least two mortar bombs fired from Syria landed in farmland in Turkey’s southern Hatay province on Friday, one of them around 50 metres into Turkish territory, and the military responded instantly, Hatay Governor Celalettin Lekesiz was quoted as saying by the staterun Anatolian news agency.

Vladimir Putin goes fishing in the headwaters of the Yenisei River. The Russian president turns 60 on Sunday. that Putin’s views had changed little since he came to power. “His vision is rather pragmatic and reduces a person to two functions — he can either be a friend or a foe.” But a poll published this week showed one in five Russian women would still be happy to marry him, even though he is about to reach an age at which he can collect his pension. Interestingly enough, six per cent of respondents said they would definitely marry Putin, while 14 per cent said they would probably like to wed him, the Moscow-based Levada Center said in

a statement. Two-thirds said they wouldn’t, including 43 per cent of women who were definitely opposed. “Among women with secondary educations and aged 25 to 39, a quarter said they would like to marry Vladimir Putin,” the polling organization said. Twentyfour per cent of lower-class Russians and 22 per cent of village residents said they were interested. Those most uninterested in marrying the three-term president were the wealthy, with 86 per cent saying they would pass up the chance, according to the poll.
