White House Decks the Halls With All Things Bo

Buttons and Bo's!

First Lady Michelle Obama welcomed military families to the White House yesterday for the first peek at this year’s holiday decorations. Celebrating the season with the theme “Shine, Share, Give,” this year's holiday decorations, hung by volunteers from 37 states, feature none other than our fave first family dog Bo Obama in many of the festive designs. The centerpiece of Christmas at the White House is the official tree, an 18½-feet tall balsam fir in the Blue Room. The tree is decorated with holiday cards created by military children, medals, badges and patches from all the military branches.

What do marshmallows, trash bags and buttons have in common?

The Obamas' famous Portuguese water dog is represented in nearly every room of the public tour, and the whimsical Bo 're-creations' range from small ornaments to life-size topiaries made from everyday materials like buttons, licorice and even trash bags!  My favorite is a felt 'Bo' design that stands 4½ feet tall.

Mad props to Heather Cooper the floral designer who designed and assembled the amazingly creative Bo statuaries. A 'Bo' made of bits of licorice or trash bags?  How cool is that?! (In fact, watching the video below kind of makes me want to plug in my glue gun and get all crafty...at least for 10 minutes until the feeling passes and I regain consciousness.)

Check out all the holiday 'Bo's' in the video below and be one of the first to get a glimpse of how all the Bo decorations throughout the White House were made! Thanks to Megan Slack and The White House Blog for sharing this story!

9 Monsters The World's Rivers

9 Monsters The World's Rivers

FISH is a member of the vertebrate poikilotermik (cold blooded), the most diverse with a total of more than 27.000 species worldwide, live in water and breathe with gills. Here are some fish that are scary:

1. African Lungfish

Creatures of the river is quite strange in my opinion. For people who've never seen it, definitely will think of this creature as a monster because of the creepy.

However, despite its terrible, this animal is totally harmless. These fish adapt to its environment is less oxygen, making this fish rarely seen by humans.

2. Goliath Tigerfish

Hearing the name alone, we already know if this creature is not being arbitrary. With up to 1.5 meters long and sharp teeth, of course many people are afraid to look spooky fish.

Goliath Tigerfish is the largest variant in the family Tigerfish, and is a great predator. This fish is famous for its strength and speed.

3. Vampire Piranha

Vampire Piranha is a close relative of the famous piranha fish of the Amazon river.This fish is called a piranha because vampire fangs that can reach 6 inches.Piranha fish which is rarely known to live in the Orinoco River, Venezuela.

4. Mekong Giant Catfish

Surely most readers already know this one fish. Fish are almost similar to the whale shark is the largest freshwater fish ever found and is from China. The biggest size is closer to whales than freshwater fish in general.

5. Bagarius Yarelli

Known also as the "Yeti of the river" or meat-eating Catfish. This fish has teeth - sharp teeth with a long reach 1 inch. In fact, the fish habitat in several countries in Asia are said to like to eat human flesh, although still a rumor.

6. Alligator Gar

River creatures this one looks like a mix between alligators and fish. Animals that live in North America is rarely hunt prey, but wait for prey that passes in front of his mouth, then he pounced with remarkable speed.

7. Pirarucu

Overview Pirarucu very similar to the famous Arowana fish in Indonesia, these fish also have in common with arowana fish, which is the same - just like jumping into the air to hunt and breathe air.

This fish is actually not harmful, but if it feels threatened, he will use his head for self-defense weapon.

8. Chinese Paddle Fish

Fish originating from China is indeed unique. Many people say if this fish is a fish with the face of the worst in the world. Although dubbed as King of the Yangtze River, but fish are believed to have been extinct.

9. Piraiba Catfish

Fish that can reach 3 meters in length with a weight of 272 kg was scared most of the anglers. This fish is famous for its strength, even the fish are said to be able to make a man drowned in his might.

A lot of rumors that circulated when the cause of anglers - the missing anglers when fishing in the river is being dragged by the fish into the river to drown.

Well, it turns out the river was not inferior to the ocean, many creatures - unique creatures living here. Although the forms - they are physically somewhat unique and strange, but it can not be denied again when the earth still save a lot of potential that has not been found in humans if.
