My kind of meet up: A healthy mix of gourmet gossip courtesy of the food writing literati, intriguing story possibilities, and fascinating food folk from near and far. That proved the ingredients for five days spent at the International Association of Culinary Professionals (IACP) annual conference, held this year in Portland, Oregon.
I'm a neophyte to both this organization and event, an annual schmooze fest for food writers, cookbook authors, agents, editors, food photogs & stylists, cooking teachers, and other edible enthusiasts.
To be expected at such soirees, it became clear early on that the real action happens outside the program agenda in hosted dinners, private parties, and impromptu chats held in cafes, bars, and restaurants around town.
I came home with a belly full of fine food, a head full of story ideas, and a heart full of new friends. There's so much to share I'm going to dish it out in bite-sized chunks over three days. Up first, a serving of fun facts, then a second course featuring five PDX producers at their local, artisan, original best, followed by five global gourmet offerings to feast on.
A trio of tidbits to whet your appetite:
- I had dinner with the grande dame of food writers, ex-Gourmet editor Ruth Reichl. We sat at a table featuring some of the best of Stumptown's locally grown and raised food, cooked by two of the city's top chefs, Cathy Whims and John Taboada. It was a very long table in a very loud room. Ruth and I were at either end. No conversation ensued. But, truth-be-told, I was delighted to chat with fellow diners Laura Masterson, of 47th Avenue Farm, whose pristine produce was featured in the dinner, and wine maker Sam Tannahill, whose 2008 Rex Hill Jacob Hart Pinot Noir paired perfectly with a crazy good goat cheese called Up in Smoke from Rivers' Edge Chevre.
- Despite protestations to the contrary, The New York Times food writer Kim Severson, could easily get a gig as a TV host. She's fast on her feet, funny, and gave off an Ellen De Generes like vibe in her schtick both in breakout sessions and on stage with friend and mentor Ruth R, whom she called "the most famous unemployed food writer in America."
- Carefully coifed Michael Ruhlman (has any other cookbook author received so much attention for his attention to personal grooming?) revealed his disdain for recipes, decried the ever-present excuse of no time to cook as "bullshit," and urged an eager audience to make love while a chicken roasts in the oven. What about the vegetarians, Mr. Ratio Man?
Amusing asides aside, Ruth Reichl made an impassioned plea for the planet and food production, pointing out that the things that make fast food cheap – readily available fossil fuels, water, and predictable weather — are all in dangerously short supply.
There's never been a better time to write about food, she reckons, or a more critical time to do so. Would you agree?
Big thanks to the fabulous Cheryl Sterman Rule of 5 Second Rule for showing me the ropes and generously sharing her food posse with me at IACP.
Check back tomorrow for part two of my IACP roundup, on the homegrown bounty courtesy of some of Portland's finest food producers.

MUSIC EDUCATION While Cuba has a rich history of jazz, there is a dearth of resources to formally study the form. Our education programs provide expert instruction, new pedagogies and methods that are integrated into student training and curriculum by local instructors. Our education advisors Victor Goines and Yosvany Terry are world-renowned musicians and teaching faculty at Northwestern University and Harvard University.
We produce annual music and cultural exchange residencies we call Jazz Amistad residencies. We recruit volunteer U.S. jazz musicians and partners such as Jazz at Lincoln Center and Preservation Hall Foundation to teach the residencies which include:•Teacher's workshops to address the needs of the local music educator;• Student sectional workshops (by instrument);• Student ensemble workshops; and• Performances by our faculty and student performers_______________________BRINGING THE
IN CUBA_______________________ CULTURAL EXCHANGE Our Jazz Amistad residencies go beyond music education to include cultural "intercambio" or exchange. Exchanges happen in Cuba and the
U.S. and are designed to:•Increase musical knowledge and technical capacity;•Broaden perspectives of educators;•Spark cultural partnerships and learning; and•Inspire students personally and professionally.While Cuba has a rich history of jazz, there are limited resources to formally study the form. We view jazz as a global language and as a shared bridge between Cuba and the U.S., because music transcends boundaries of geography, politics, culture, language and even time. Life-changing for students and professors on both sides, Jazz Amistads provideopportunities to preserve musical legacies and to encourage young musicians to innovate and create their own musical futures. Ultimately Jazz Amistads
are not just about musical technique –they are about instilling the improvisational and collaborative spirit
of jazz._______________________STRENGTHENING TIES BETWEEN COUNTRIES USING SHARED
MUSICAL TRADITIONS_______________________ INSTRUMENT REPAIR & TRAINING A proper instrument in good working condition is essential to a musician. In Cuba, many issues affect instrument quality and access: weather damage; multiple and long-term usage; affordability and availability issues; and more. This situation impedes the educational and professional opportunities of students.In 2010 we recruited the renowned instrument artisan David Gage of New York City's David Gage String Instrument Repair and formed the Instrument Artisans Council, a group of volunteer instrument artisans who oversee annual visits to the island for repair and training work.Families, students, music professors and other music professionals come to our workshop from throughout the island. CNEART, The Ministry of Culture's arts school administration, donated the building for the permanent repair shop and hired six Cuban repair technicians (partially trained by our master artisans) to fix instruments for students in Cuba's music schools.We have now trained a dozen local artisans, which doubled our capacity, and have made over 4600 instrument repairs._______________________FULFILLING DREAMS
MUSICIANS_______________________ INSTRUMENT DONATION Many students do not own their own instrument. They are only able to play on instruments loaned by their schools so they can perform in class. The quality of these instruments varies and often students must share instruments. They also must return these instruments once they finish their studies. For young musicians, owning an instrument often makes the difference between pursuing music as a career after graduation or not. Horns to Havana works to address this need by working with our local partners to identify students in need of instruments and to match them with donated instruments. Thanks to the generous donations of high quality used and new instruments by our supporters across the U.S., we have been able to provide a multitude of instruments to music students. We continue to find new partners like Preservation Hall Foundation to assist in bringing instruments and parts to individuals in Cuba. These instruments are changing lives, and we are grateful!_______________________ JAZZ DIGS INTO

Melissa Aiello might just be the coolest chick ever. She has a successful t-shirt line with a cult celebrity following…and she's only 11 years old. Your eyes are not playing trick on you, that is the number eleven, which means she was born in 2001. At the ripe young age of SEVEN YEARS OLD, Missy showed promise as a talented illustrator by sketching images of her family members. Fast-forward two years later, Missy is drawing models and fashion industry insiders for her Tees By Missy X brand. From the moment she produced a sketch of Karl Lagerfeld in 15 minutes (I swear, I'm not making this up), everyone knew she was destined for greatness. Tees By Missy X followed shortly after.
Now, Missy's creations include white t-shirts with sketches of everyone from Amy Winehouse, Anna Wintour and John Galliano to Barack Obama. She's also expanded her range with illustrated sweatshirts and canvas tote bags. But Missy doesn't just draw these celebrities and fashion icons, they actually wear her designs too. Wiz Khalifa wore a Bob Marley Tee By Missy X in his Brainstorm music video and Azealia Banks is a fan. According to her website, we should be able to shop her creations very, very soon. Let the countdown begin.

Image via WikipediaIndigo Buntings spend their winters in southern Florida, central Mexico and south through the West Indies and Central America to northern South America. They flock together to forage for food in open habitats, like weedy fields, citrus orchards, and farmlands.
In the spring they can travel thousands of miles to their breeding grounds at the top of Florida to the bottom of Canada and as far east as Maine and as far west as Nevada. They will stop in many yards on their journey looking to refuel. During migration they look for open grasslands and leafy trees similar to those in their winter habitat. Migration takes place in April and May and then again in September and October.
Image via Wikipedia
Indigos like a variety of food, including small seeds, nuts, berries, insects, mosquitoes, flies, aphids, small spiders, buds, goldenrod, thistle, grasses, and herbs. At my feeders they like the Nyger Thistle and the No-Mess blend which has the sunflower chips, peanuts, and millet without the hulls.
The only way to get them to stay the whole summer is if you live in an area where they like to breed. Indigo buntings nest in brushy and weedy habitats along the edges of farmland, woods, roads, and railways. According to Birds of Michigan by Ted Black, "Raspberry thickets are a favored nesting location for many of our Indigo Buntings. The dense, thorny stems provide the nestlings with protection from many predators, and the berries are a convenient source of food."
So if you live near a woodlot or bike trails you may see the birds year round. Otherwise appreciate these beautiful birds while they visit in the spring and fall.

I really love my new suede leather boots by Wolf and York, they're perfect for wearing everyday throughout winter and spring and they're really comfy too. They match pretty much any outfit and I'm so happy with them as usually I am reluctant to buy shoes online.
I bought them from www.surfdome.com. They were on sale from £84.99 to £42 which I think is an amazing price for high quality suede leather!

People sure have a penchant for all things new. With the opening of Ippudo in Singapore, reputedly one of the best restaurants serving ramen in Japan, it is without doubt that in all eager and glory for being one of the first to try out their tastebuds at noodles, people will queue.
Uncle KY invited mum and me to dinner today as he was just back from Tokyo, and what better place to go than Ippudo which just recently opened. For us, we stood in the queue for about 45 minutes and that would be long enough to make anybody hungry.
The ambience at Ippudo is definitely something to take interest with. As with many Japanese eateries, the staff will holler in loud voices to welcome you, and Ippudo was no exception (except for the fact that their welcome was very very loud). While it is a restaurant, tables are shared. I am not sure if this is their usual practice, but this concept is rather novel for a restaurant. Maybe its due to the overwhelming crowd?
I had two different types of ramen today and the one that was best for me was the Karaka-men. For $17, the springy ramen is served in the original Ippudo pork broth with special spicy miso and ground pork.
The hotness factor is rather mild, but enough to leave a tingle on the tastebuds. And the broth was not too savoury that will quell the natural textures and flavour of the noodles. Its a good complementation.
There was also the Shiromaru Motoaji with Nitamago ($17). In the menu its stated as the Original Tonkatsu soup noodles with slices of simmered pork loin chasyu, cabbage, kikurage and spring onions. A smooth yet complicated classical Hakata style ramen.
Broth wise, the soup was tastily savoury with a good hint of lasting flavours after each sip. Pork slices were soft and the Nitamago (flavoured egg) was firm yet with an almost runny yolk center. Crunchy cabbages added a good bite.
The Chinese call it Kong Bak Pau, the people at Ippudo remastered it and call it Ippudo Pork Buns. Nothing fanciful in name, but a more umami flavour with the store's special sauce and dash of mayonnaise added over the meat slice. $3 per bun.
Its named the Rare Cheese Cake, and for $7 a slice, it certainly seems like a treasure from the fridge. Heavily creamy in texture, this chilled cheese cake was jelly like that wobbled (a little) with a shake on the plate. Taste wise, it was more sour than sweet but pair it with the glaze of fruity sweetness at the side and what you get its an amazing combination. This is something I will order the next time I go back to Ippudo!
Prices at Ippudo is slightly above average but that is what you pay for the location at Meritus Mandarin. It is an experience that is catered for quick eats and slurps. While there may be some hits and misses in value, Ippudo surely makes up for it in its tasty broth and refreshing ramen. Anyone up for a bowl of branded ramen =)

The last thing any organization or its employees want to focus on, while traveling, are potential terrorism threats. But the reality is, terrorism and danger are becoming more integrated into the global psyche. During the past two years, more than 70 attacks throughout the world have been attributed to the Islamic State (ISIS) alone. This doesn't count domestic terrorism or attacks initiated by so-called "lone wolves" drawn to extremism and violence.
Historically, companies addressed and revised security measures following a violent incident or attack. But, in these times, organizations must ensure their employees' safety by developing risk-assessment plans, understanding the worst-case scenario, and being prepared in the event that such a scenario should occur. Important aspects of such a plan include communication protocol and employee training.
Employees should understand what to do, and how to behave, before, during and in the immediate and long-term aftermath of a terrorist attack. The following are general tips that should be impressed upon an employee before he or she goes on that next business trip.
TIP #1. Know Your Surroundings. If you're in a shopping mall, hotel, restaurant or a café, look around and determine an escape route in the event your original point of entry is blocked. This should be done before anything else. Familiarizing yourself with exits is a good rule of thumb for all situations, not just in preparing for potential acts of terror.
TIP #2. Trust Your Instincts. If something appears out of place, or causes discomfort, pay attention, no matter how silly or ridiculous that feeling might be. Gut instinct is useful when it comes to self-preservation. Being alert can save your life.
TIP #3. Run. You're not a coward if you run from potential danger. Your life is more important than being an eye-witness to a dangerous situation. Though you might be drawn to a strange noise, resist your curiosity and head in the opposite direction as quickly as you can.
TIP #4. Hide. If running is out of the question, find a hiding place with more than one exit; one that can be secured with a locked door or barricade. Look for a "hard cover" spot behind or beneath a solid structure with concrete walls.
TIP #5. Silence is Golden. If you are hiding, keep still, and ensure those with you are quiet as well. Silence all electronic devices. Don't make it easy for terrorists or insurgents to find you, and turn you into a hostage or victim.
TIP #6. Seek Out a Safe Haven. This goes hand-in-hand with the first tip, to know your surroundings. Important safe havens include hotels, restaurants, cafés or shops. Once inside, keep away from the main entrance, windows and any large glass walls or panels.
TIP #7. Regroup. Ensure a pre-arranged destination for a group to meet in the event of an emergency. Also set up a second location, in the event the first might prove too dangerous or too close to ground zero.
The above are very general tips. They can, however, be modified to your organization's procedures. The main aspects to impress upon your employees are: Be alert, be aware, be safe.

If you fail to fix the problem using Windows Update Troubleshooter, then use the solutions explained below. But, before using these methods, create system restore point.
- Use built in Disk Cleanup utility to remove temporary files and internet cache from your Windows system. Reboot your system and once again try to install available updates
- Try to install Windows Update by disabling Firewall and Anti-virus software
- Go to computer and select Manage, it will show computer management window. From that select Services and right click on "Cryptographic Service". And stop this service. Give another name for "Catroot2" which is located in C:\Windows\System32\Catroot. Now, reboot your computer. Then, try to install Windows Updates.
- Search for C:\Windows\WindowsUpdate.log, where you will get error codes for failed update. If there are too many messages, delete WindowsUpdate.log and once again try to install your updates. Now you will get the error codes for current problem. Now visit

'Don't blame parents for baby's blindness'
A leading doctor has hit out at a media debate on whether glamour model Jordan was partly to blame for the blindness of her newborn son.
It had been suggested that Jordan's failure to give up alcohol during her pregnancy may in some way be linked to her son Harvey's condition.
But Dr Mehul Dattani said such coverage was almost certainly inaccurate - and would cause a lot of misery not just for Jordan, but for other parents whose children had the same condition.
They have concluded that it is highly likely to be caused by genetic, rather than environmental factors such as alcohol and drugs.
The Great Ormond Street team have identified a gene called HESXI found in a few cases of SOD. They believe it is likely that other, as yet unidentified genes may also be connnected to the condition.
Their work has also shown that if an embryo is to develop SOD, it will do so during only in a short period of its gestation, lasting no longer than six weeks.
Poor growth
SOD is a highly variable condition. Symptoms can include varying degrees of blindness, poor growth and abnormal sleep patterns.
It is linked to the abnormal development of the optic nerve, and may also be associated with developmental problems with the front part of the brain, and the pituitary gland.
Dr Dattani said: "There is no hard evidence to suggest that alcohol and drugs is the cause of blindness or that the condition is commoner in younger mothers. It would therefore be rash at this stage to link such factors together.
"Reports of this kind cause a lot of grief to families who have children with this condition, with people pointing the finger and saying maybe its down to drugs and alcohol.
"The research that we are currently conducting into the role of genes in causing this disorder should enable us to develop a better understanding of the clinical causes behind this extremely rare condition in the near future."

Ireland should remain attractive even after Apple windfall – global ratings agency
Ireland should remain an attractive location for multinationals even if the State were to ultimately take up to €13bn in takes from Apple, global ratings agency Fitch has said.
The risk of increased uncertainty over Ireland's attraction to global businesses, potentially damaging foreign direct investment and employment, is "limited", Fitch said.
But it said the ruling could add to the uncertainty surrounding the Brexit vote, which it believes will hit exports and investment. It also expressed concern that divisions within the coalition "have become more evident".
Fitch said that if upheld, the ruling from the European Commission would represent a "one-off fiscal windfall for Ireland", and could speed up the improvement in Ireland's public debt position if used to pay down debt or reduce borrowing.
"It is possible that any such benefit would be partly offset by increased uncertainty over Ireland's attraction to global businesses potentially damaging FDI and employment," Fitch said in a note.
"We think this risk is limited. Ireland's low 12.5pc corporate tax rate, and its high human development and governance indicators should keep the business environment attractive to multinationals, and the costs of relocating would be large."
Following the ruling last week, Finance Minister Michael Noonan suggested appealing the decision was the best course of action, suggesting taking the money would be "destroying the future for people for short-term advantage".
IDA chief executive Martin Shanahan said the Commission decision was unhelpful for Ireland and Europe, and has made "it much more difficult for Europe and Ireland to attract foreign direct investment".
The ratings agency said the ruling could add to the uncertainty surrounding the Brexit vote, which it forecasts will slow export and investment growth.
"Notwithstanding the government's repeated announcements to appeal, including a cabinet decision on Friday to formally lodge an appeal against the European Commission, divisions within the coalition have become more evident," the Fitch note said.
"This shows the challenge that the Fine Gael-led minority government faces in formulating and enacting policy. It has already been outvoted in parliament on some minor economic issues since its formation in May. A more unstable political backdrop would add to fiscal and economic risks."

It's difficult to be a crafter ready to craft, if you don't have the right tools. I've made a list of 16 essential tools every crafter must have.
You need these for detail work- cutting out small items. They're also great for ribbon with an adhesive back; because of the Teflon blades, the adhesive won't stick.

Theodore Roosevelt (1858-1919) took great personal interest in his "big-game library" and bequeathed this portion of his book collection to his youngest son Kermit, who in turn left it to his son and namesake. In 1963 and 1964 Kermit Roosevelt presented his grandfather's hunting collection to the Library of Congress. Although composed primarily of late nineteenth and early twentieth century publications on hunting, natural history, exploration, ornithology, and sport, the collection includes a number of significant early editions such as Jean de Clamorgan's La Chasse du loup (Paris: 1566); Robert de Salnove's La Venerie royal (Paris: 1655); L'Histoire naturelle (Paris: 1767), a work by John Ray that was translated into French by François Salerne; and The Histoire of Fovre-Footed Beastes (London: 1607) and The Historie of Serpents (London: 1608) by Edward Topsell. Most of the 254 volumes bear Roosevelt's bookplate.

Freight shipping from Idaho to North Carolina is easier than ever with FreightCenter. Our simple quoting and booking process will enable you to get instant freight rates from all the top shipping companies and start booking your freight shipments in a few short minutes. FreightCenter makes it affordable to ship freight from Idaho to North Carolina by LTL, Truckload, Rail, or Intermodal with our guaranteed competitive freight rates.
Idaho is a large and mountainous state with the furthest inland seaport on the west coast. The state is an important agricultural producer in the United States, and in addition to food, Idaho produces lumber, electronics, and gemstones. The roads may be poorly maintained, but Idaho freight shipping is usually inexpensive due to the number of trucks moving through the state. Due to the Lewistown Port, international shipping can be considered. There are two different transcontinental railways passing through the state, and Idaho freight is usually even less expensive when goods are traveling west. LTL freight shipping can be expensive due to the high volume of goods moving out of the state compared to the volume of goods moving in.
North Carolina is a southern state on the Atlantic coast. While the eastern half of the state consists of fertile plains, the western half is quite mountainous. North Carolina freight rates can be quite volatile due to the agriculture, lumber, and manufacturing industries as well as the weather. The coastal location can make North Carolina shipping rates most affordable on the eastern side of the state. Low prices on inbound shipping can often be found during the fall months, when outbound prices increase. Due to low consumption and low volume of goods moving through the state, LTL freight rates can be higher than normal in North Carolina.

Do not be like the horse or the mule, which have no understanding but must be controlled by bit and bridle or they will not come to you (Psalm 32:9 NIV).
Hind-sight is always better than foresight, so the saying goes. Unfortunately that little cliché carries a lot of truth. We learn more through experience than through advice from other people. Our personal encounters with different situations activate a deeper understanding.
Case in point:

Left ventricular pacing site in cardiac resynchronization therapy: clinical follow-up and predictors of failed lateral implant
Macías A, Gavira JJ, Castaño S, Alegría E, García-Bolao I.
Department of Cardiology and Cardiovascular Surgery, University Clinic, School of Medicine, University of Navarra, Pamplona, Spain
Magazine: European Journal of Heart Failure
Date: Apr 1, 2008Cardiology
The effects of the left ventricular (LV) pacing site on the clinical results of resynchronization therapy (CRT) are not well characterized. The aim of this study was to define the effect of LV lead location on clinical response and LV remodelling, and to identify predictors of failure to implant the LV lead in a lateral location. One hundred and seventy two consecutive patients were evaluated at baseline and 6 months after CRT.
In 128 patients, the LV lead was implanted in the lateral region (Group 1), while 44 received an anterior implant due to anatomical or electrical factors (Group 2). Group 1 was associated with a significantly better functional outcome assessed both by NYHA class (p<0.001) and by the six-minute-walk test (p=0.01) compared with group 2. LV ejection fraction and volumes, and inter- and intraventricular dyssynchrony only improved significantly (p<0.01) in group 1. The only independent predictor of a failed lateral implant was the presence of ischaemic cardiomyopathy (OR 3.29, 95% CI 2.2-13.7; p=0.02). In conclusion, a lateral lead location results in a better functional outcome and greater reverse LV remodelling compared with anterior locations.
The presence of ischaemic cardiomyopathy is a risk factor for a failed lateral LV implant.

First of all, I am thankful for this blog and the opportunity it gives me each week to check in with my work and see what photos I took that mean something to me. This week and next week, I'll be looking through this year's photos with my "grateful glasses," which I believe I wear part of every day of the year. Of course not everything I see with them will show up in these two posts. So, if you know me, and what you might expect is not shown, worry not - there are those pesky space considerations, AND sometimes I don't have the right photo of something for which I am truly thankful.
What looms largest is the weeklong cousin camp that took place at the house in August! We had so much simple fun -- and I took some happy photos, some of which were already posted a few months ago.
|most recent photo of cousin camp director (photo taken in Massachusetts)
And now for a photo of the missing cousin, who had a summer job he couldn't neglect and in another state. Here is Nik setting up his drums at his house:
Next, the two siblings together. Guess which one is showing us his or her college dorm room! Bravo for a good start to your new endeavor and its adventures!!
Now, as always and often on this blog, I celebrate the beauty of where I live. I am thankful all these images show up in my life, especially when I happen to have my camera with me....
I am also grateful for such moments as unexpected skies, and for the lone cow then standing there "in reflection"....and within reach.
With these beautiful Appalachian hills come wonderful Appalachian neighbors and friends, who help me out, make me laugh, and who are patient with me and my camera.
This is so much fun to do, so MORE NEXT WEEK. Should I say, "until then, just keep on truckin'?"

You ask a lot of your garage doors—they keep your car safe, maximize security between the great outdoors and your home, and act as curb appeal (especially for those two- and three-car garage varieties). They do a lot for you, but are you returning the favor? Lehi is a fantastic place to live, especially with those four distinct seasons, but severe weather shifts can really do a number on your home's exterior, including those trusty garage doors. From intense sun to piles of snow, your garage doors could use a little maintenance.
That's our specialty. At The Garage Door Man, we've been proudly taking care of our Lehi neighbors for more than 15 years and we treat your garage and home like our own. In other words, we want only the best in aesthetics and safety for you, your family or business and your property. Garage doors, just like many other parts of your home, need regular annual maintenance in order to perform their best.
When was your garage door's last checkup?
Rise (and Close) and Shine
Hopefully you're on top of getting your appliances checked each year—but what about your garage doors? Those springs bear a lot of abuse, the sensors can go on the fritz and sometimes rollers get a little too uppity and roll right off track. It happens to the best, modern garage doors as well as old, outdated doors. Unfortunately, when something goes amiss with garage doors, it can spell serious trouble.
From crushing little feet (and pets) to making your car a prisoner in your own garage, garage doors gone wild are never any fun. At The Garage Door Man, we specialize in helping our Lehi neighbors with all their garage door needs. Whether it's emergency services at 2am on a holiday, a brand new installation in a stunning wood or aluminum variety, or routine inspections, we're at your service.

Women commonly develop flat feet during pregnancy, possibly because the extra weight flattens out the arch of the foot. Also, the joints tend to be looser during pregnancy. There is a hormone the body produces during pregnancy called relaxin that facilitates the birth process by causing a lengthening and softening of the cervix and the pubic symphysis (where the pubic bones meet). Relaxin also allows the ligaments in the feet to stretch. The investigators suggest that this loss of arch height is permanent.
Neil Segal, associate professor of orthopaedics and rehabilitation, said:
"I had heard women reporting changes in their shoe size with pregnancy, but found nothing about that in medical journals or textbooks.
In order to study this more scientifically, we measured women's feet at the beginning of their pregnancy and five months after delivery. We found that pregnancy does indeed lead to permanent changes in the feet."
Segal and team followed 49 women, all of them pregnant, during their first trimester of pregnancy and then again approximately five months after they had given birth. They collected dynamic and static arch measurements.
The team found that in the majority of the women (60%-70%), their feet became wider and longer.
The women's arch height and arch rigidity fell considerably from the first trimester to five months after their child was born. This resulted in the length of their feet increasing by between 2mm and 10mm.
However, they did not detect any significant change in the distribution of foot pressure.
The changes in foot length and width seem to occur only during the first pregnancy, the investigators noted.
Segal said "We know that women, and especially women who have had children, are disproportionately affected by musculoskeletal disorders. It is possible that these foot changes that occur during pregnancy may help explain why, in comparison with men, women are at higher risk for pain or arthritis in their feet, knees, hips, and spines."
Segal and colleagues want to find out whether these alterations in foot size and shape might lead to health problems later on, such as arthritis. They are currently looking into how a woman's musculoskeletal health can be better protected during pregnancy.
English actress, Denise van Outen, mentioned two years ago that her feet grew from a size five to six while she was pregnant, and stayed at six. She added that she had to give away most of her shoes after her baby Betsy Mead was born.
The study was sponsored in part by grants from the National Institute on Aging and the American Geritrics Society.

There's a key ingredient that all successful marketers emphasize in their business — building trust with their target market.
After all, as the saying goes…
"People buy from those they Know, Like and Trust!"
As an affiliate marketer who's participated in many contests, I've been witness to the "surprise" showing of marketers with relatively small lists.
Most can't figure out how the relative unknown beat the big time marketer with the gigantic list.
The "secret" isn't a secret at all…it mostly comes down to TRUST.
Inevitably, the person making the sales with the loyal following is the same person who has worked hard building trust with their target market.
It's not fast… it's not always easy…
But it is essential and EXTREMELY profitable.
This morning, I presented this information to a community of entrepreneurs on their 15 minute daily motivational call. It was extremely well received and generated a lot of excitement.
The recording is below:
10 Keys To Building Trust
- Say what you're going to do and then do it. Simply put, keep your word.
- Sell without selling out. Focus on what will help your audience and team rather than the size of the commission.
- Value long term relationships more than short term success. You're in your business for the long term. Don't sabotage it because you came across a shiny object with a big fat payout.
- When you screw up, admit it. Everyone makes mistakes. The person who owns their mistakes and makes no excuses will gain trustworthiness very quickly.
- Be transparent, especially in regards to your results. If you don't have results yet, say so. And if you have been getting some results, make sure it's understood how you were able to achieve them.
- Be personal. As much as you feel comfortable, reveal some personal details about your life. This will help others trust you because they can identify with your situation, shortcomings, etc.
- Become a coach. When you guide people and help them become better, you gain a lot of credibility and trust.
- Be able to say "I don't know". When someone asks a question you don't know the answer to, admit it. Don't try to be a know-it-all. Building trust will go faster if you connect them with people who know the answer, rather than giving them an answer that isn't correct.
- Be competent. Keep increasing your knowledge and improving yourself so you can teach others what you know. Always remember to give credit to where you learned something. This also will build trust.
- Understand that trust is earned, one step at a time. You can't rush the process of building trust. It happens gradually over time as you prove yourself again and again.
In today's "I want it now!" society, it can be hard to hear that something takes time before full benefits are seen. But that's definitely the case with Building Trust with your prospects.
Trust must be valued.
Trust must be nurtured.
And definitely Trust must be protected.
Trust takes time to earn and a second to lose!
Be very careful that your actions for immediate gratification don't destroy the trust you'll need to have a long term profitable business!
Now let's hear from you!
Has there been a time where YOU lost trust with someone or felt like you did something to lose someone else's trust?
To your success!
Dr. Bob
Creator of The Part Time Business Blueprint
Email: email@example.com
Skype: drbobclarke
P.S. This Free 10-Day Bootcamp will not only help you build trust with your prospects but will actually make MLM Prospecting FUN and Profitable!
Well said Bob! Every point is spot on. #7 speaks to me the most.

Untitled (for now)
Here I am again exhibiting the quintessential trait of being an introvert: overthinking. If there were a contest for this kind of behavior, I'd certainly be in the running by now—if not outright winning first place by a landslide.
This piece is actually quite overdue and may be three something years in the making. I could have written all this down maybe a few months ago but then it wouldn't be the same words or the same feeling or there would be a different glass of scotch behind these thoughts. In any case, it's come to the point where I can't do anything but put this down into tangible words and be done with it. Not, of course, just for the heck of it, but rather to hopefully free myself from the heaviness of it all. The years and years of keeping it all in do they take their toll and at least for this one thing, I'd like to just leave it behind once and for all. I do hope you'll indulge me this one rare time.

Heini Schmitt (pictured), head of the Hessen German Police Union, spouts ignorance about "killerworlds" and "killergames," two terms I've never heard before, but apparently describe a grave public health and safety menace in Germany.
Of course, that's where there was as shooting rampage (amoklauf) nearly a couple weeks back, which because it involved a teenager, meant video games were somehow responsible. Even though Schmitt acknowledges a lack of proof that "that these frequent escapes into virtual killerworlds can contribute to such insane deeds," he goes for a lower standard - probable cause! - in justifying their outright elimination.
From a translation provided by GamePolitics (by EchoOnline):
When a chance to remove a probable cause exists, it must be used, insisted the chief of the national police union. "The world would be no poorer if there were no more killergames."
You can speak any language and see the logical extreme here. The world would be no poorer for the absence of a lot of things. It certainly would be more bland, though.

iCoin Pro is the first ever Affiliate/MLM cryptocurrency training platform. Here's Why I Love Their 2×14 Forced Matrix Comp Plan.
iCoin Pro officially pre-launched Thursday May 25th, 2017.
Their official launch is set for June 22nd.
A friend introduced me to this platform two days into pre-launch.
I'm not easily swayed and have been devoted to one MLM for over 3 years, even through a rocky merger.
But, I have always been curious about Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies and apparently iCoin Pro was the first ever training platform of its kind.
iCoin Pro is like the MLSP or Elite Marketing Pro for cryptocurrency education attached to it is a powerful 2×10 to 2×14 forced matrix comp plan.
What is a forced matrix comp plan?
I forced matrix puts people down under you.
The first row is two, second row is 4, third row is 8, etc.
This matrix gets filled not only by who you personally sponsor, but also by people above you (your upline) who recruit people and from the people you bring in who recruit their own people.
What happens is you get paid on active members in this matrix every month, even though you may not have personally recruited that person.
For instance, in my first week, two active members were placed in my matrix who I didn't sponsor.
I will get paid on these two people every month they stay active, and can also get paid on everyone they bring in.
What is a 2×10 to 2×14 Matrix?
A 2×10 Matrix is 10 levels deep.
This is the matrix you get when you're unranked.
If you multiply 2×2 10 times exponentially you get 2,046.
That means there's 2,046 spots in your 2×10 matrix for members to fall into.
iCoin Pro pays 2.5% on each spot filled per month.
2.5% of the $40 monthly membership fee is $1.
If all your spots get filled, you earn $2,046 each month, possibly without recruiting anyone.
A 2×12 Matrix, which you get by paying more or by naturally recruiting 3 and having 40 active members in your matrix is 8,190 spots.
That means you can earn up to $8,190 per month by filling this matrix through your efforts and your team and your upline.
This is serious income.
A 2×14 matrix, which you get by paying more or having 100 active members in your matrix gives you 32,766 spots.
So, if you fill those spots, you're making $32,766 a month without counting overrides and check matching.
This is why some of the biggest internet marketers are jumping in this as quick as possible.
iCoin Pro fills the need of educating the average person about cryptocurrencies and how to invest in them.
Bitcoin is predicted to become worth $100,000 a bitcoin in 10 years.
Cryptocurrency already has a market capitalization of over $75 Billion.
Digital currency isn't going anywhere, and iCoin Pro allows the average person a chance to make great passive, residual income while learning about cryptocurrencies.
I've never seen a program like this and I'm BLOWN AWAY.
I've always had to build two legs in a MLM binary comp plan, and if one leg diminished because of attrition, I wouldn't get paid.
With this forced matrix and low monthly membership fee, I feel that not many people are going to quit when they understand the power of the matrix.

Thanks for reading!

Continue to work out your salvation with fear and trembling, for it is God who works in
you …Philippians 2:12-13 King James Bible
Once we have accepted Jesus that isn't the end of it. Going to church once a week isn't the end of it.
No, brothers and sisters salvation is not a one off encounter.
It is a weekly, a daily, an hourly and indeed a moment by moment event.
We must surrender all aspects of our lives to Christ in order to maintain our salvation. If we do not it may happen as slow as molasses or it may be as fast and powerful as an avalanche. One thing is certain though, we WILL, lose our salvation when it is not directed and controlled by Christ.
Fear and trembling is referring to awe and respect. We should be in awe of Gods love for us and respect His decisions on what is right for us. Let His thoughts direct every aspect of our lives.
How precious to me are your thoughts, O God! How vast is the sum of them! Psalm 139:17, New International Version
They are not only jewels of wisdom, but daily guidance references as well.
Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen.
— Ephesians 3:20-21 the new international version
Prayer: Jehovah Yahew (God of His people) thank you for your gracious gift of salvation. Please help me to surrender every aspect to your intelligent guidance in my life. In the name of the consummate councilor Jesus Christ. Amen
May the sweet sunshine of Jesus' love bless you today and every day

Yesterday morning I entered Mellor Hall at the Cowichan Exhibition grounds feeling nervous. I walked past Jennifer Tinsley's amazing mural without looking up, nor did I notice the thousands of exhibition entries including wine, flowers, baked goods, weaving, quilting, honey, and crafts covering tables from end to end of the massive hall. I was entirely focused on the Domestic Science tables, where the night before I had placed 6 chocolate chip cookies, carefully selected from a freshly baked batch of 30, and one cake, made by my mister.
Not ready to learn my own fate, I went to see how the mister's cake did in the "Cake, made by a man" category. There were three cakes entered; the mister's cake came second. It's the first cake he's ever made (possibly the first recipe he's ever followed (ish)), and he didn't come last. I knew he would be thrilled by the result.
Before I could help myself I looked over at my cookies. My heart skipped a beat. Blue ribbon. First place. I couldn't believe it. There were 9 entries in the category and Auntie Joanie's cookies came out tops. I walked over to my plate and stared at the 5 and a half cookies remaining. Cool.
With the results confirmed, I was able to relax and view the rest of the Domestic Science entries. I was feeling good about my win until I noticed the winner in the "Anything pumpkin but pie" category not only received a first-place blue ribbon, but a large white Judge's Choice ribbon. You mean there's a greater prize than first? That's next year's challenge.
My neighbours Leanne and Heather took home third and first places respectively for their categories. Heather doesn't feel she can call herself an award-winning Domestic Scientist just yet; hers was the only entry in the Fruit & Nut Loaf category.
I would like to thank the CowEx organizers for putting on another amazing fair. And to Shevaun for sharing her Auntie Joanie's recipe (she'll get a 10% cut of the $5 prize money). And to all those who have eaten my cookies and couldn't stop at one. And a very special thank you to my mom for teaching me everything I know about baking.
The mister just put his head into our empty cookie jar and yelled, "Anyone in there?" A first-place blue-ribbon chocolate-chip cookie baker's work is never done.

But this scandal won't -- and shouldn't -- go away.
After Lopez was accused of groping and sexually harassing female Assembly employees, Silver signed off on a secret settlement, agreeing to use $103,000 in public funds to settle the charges.
Why the secrecy? Silver told the Daily News: "We always wanted to do what we thought were the wishes of the victims. In this case, that was the intended motive. We believed at the time that the victims wanted a quiet solution to this matter."
Yet the attorney for two female employees was skeptical. Gloria Allred said Silver should have reported the complaints to the Assembly Ethics Committee immediately. "There's no excuse for failing to perform what is their legal duty to investigate," she told the News.
Good-government advocates said they are troubled by the fact that Allred and Silver can't agree on whether the women wanted secrecy or not.
"Contradictory assumptions call out for an independent review," said Dick Dadey, of Citizens Union. "The Joint Commission on Public Ethics needs to find out what happened and why. It's understandable to want to keep the names of victims private but the settlement and its terms should not have been. Too much of what goes on is secret in Albany and shouldn't be because it's the public's business."
The Speaker says he was wrong to enter into the secret settlement -- and has said he welcomes the investigation.
The Commission convened Tuesday -- and immediately went into closed session. It wasn't about to enlighten the press or public about its secret deliberations.
Ronnie Eldridge, a former city councilwoman, lamented the fact that assemblywomen or female staffers never spoke out publicly about the alleged harassment.
"It's disgusting," she said. "Are they afraid to speak up?"
One remedy, she said, would be to elect new legislators.
"This harassment seems to be so much a part of the culture, it's hard to fight," she said. "Until women, including legislators, speak up, it's likely this can happen again."
Silver says he asked Lopez to resign from the Assembly but he didn't seem to hear him. Lopez, the Speaker said, was "basically inaudible … I got the impression he didn't appreciate my advice."
Perhaps more than one lawmaker needs a hearing examination. Certainly the voice of the people demanding a scandal-free legislature is not being heard.

Late Night FDL: the enemy of your enemy might not be your friend
A case study in how the press is covering our candidates: Mr. Fournier of the Associated Press has some issues with Senator Obama
Arrogance is a common vice in presidential politics. A person must be more than a little self-important to wake up one day and say, "I belong in the Oval Office."
But there's a line smart politicians don't cross _ somewhere between "I'm qualified to be president" and "I'm born to be president." Wherever it lies, Barack Obama better watch his step.
He's bordering on arrogance.
But both Obama and his wife, Michelle, ooze a sense of entitlement.
Anyway, you'd think that writing a content-free hit piece like that would mean that the writer is a friend of the Clinton campaign.
Not so much.
Mr. Fournier's spent most of this campaign bashing Senator Clinton, with policy insights like Hillary is slick and everybody hates her, Hillary and Bill are slick and everybody hates them, Hillary is stubborn and everybody hates her and she's helping the Republicans, Hillary is only green in the sense of inexperience, although he did take a break to give us John Edwards is an inauthentic rich fop who nobody trusts. Oddly the oozing thing didn't make it into earlier pieces, like Hillary sucks and Obama's going to beat her and Obama's a calm, thoughtful guy and his opponents are picking on him). This week is a twofer, Hillary is dishonest and neurotic while the Obama camp are condescending snots
He doesn't hate everybody, though.
Mitt Romney's victory in Michigan was a defeat for authenticity in politics.
The man who spoke hard truths to Michigan lost. Of all the reasons John McCain deserved a better result Tuesday night, his gamble on the economy stands out. The Arizona senator had the temerity to tell voters that a candidate who says traditional auto manufacturing jobs "are coming back is either naive or is not talking straight with the people of Michigan and America."
Instead of pandering, McCain said political leaders must "embrace green technologies," adding: "That's the future. That's what we want."
Tell us how you really feel, Ron.
Oh wait. He did. Well, not his readers, obviously, but he opened up more for some of America's future serious people at Harvard
Journalist Ron Fournier spoke at an Institute of Politics (IOP) dinner last night, stressing that the "change" sweeping through America runs deeper than the current presidential campaigns.
"The Democratic campaign is Barack Obama's to lose," Fournier said, repeating what he called a long-held belief.
In the question-and-answer session—driven by dinner guests who won their seats via an IOP lottery—Fournier remained agnostic about the ultimate outcome of the primary contest, stating that an Obama loss in the primary would fracture the party more than a Clinton loss.
Fournier also said the general election was far from a foregone conclusion.
"John McCain has a much better chance of winning the election than most people realize," he said.
One of the many diners lingering about after the question-and-answer session, former Republican Massachusetts Governor Jane M. Swift, said she agreed with Fournier that Hillary Clinton would keep the general election close, while McCain would have a better chance against Obama.
This has nothing to do with Obama as a candidate or what kind of president he'd make, or for that matter Clinton or Edwards. It has to do with the fact that this guy has an agenda in play, and he is not on our side. He wasn't on our side when he took a bat to Edwards' kneecaps, he wasn't on our side when he went after Hillary, and it's not on our behalf that he's concerned about Obama's character. It's because at the time that he wrote those articles, the candidate he was taking out looked like the frontrunner against the guy he wants to win.
So whose side is Fournier on? Well, not too long ago, back when he felt like things were going poorly for Republicans politically, Mr. Fournier dropped out of the AP to become a partner in a new business: an online "centrist" "moderate" political dialogue site called Hot Soup
Mark McKinnon and Matthew Dowd, who were senior advisers in President Bush's last two campaigns, are joining forces with Joe Lockhart, who served as a spokesman for President Bill Clinton, and Carter Eskew, a top strategist in Al Gore's presidential campaign, in creating what they have dubbed HotSoup.com.
"There is nobody who knows how broken the system is more than us. . . . Everyone in the room could say they contributed to the polarization," Lockhart said.
"The perceived polarization that exists in this country today is not a good thing," said Dowd, adding that people are tired of watching "food fight" debates on television.
They have hired Ron Fournier, former chief political writer for the Associated Press, as editor in chief. A key consultant is Allie Savarino, an Internet advertising specialist and president of Sisterwoman.com.
At times, the strategists sounded as though they were doing penance for their roles in the 30-second attack ads and sound-bite skewering that have become staples in modern political campaigns. But they are not giving up their livelihood. McKinnon continues to represent political and corporate clients at Public Strategies. Dowd has his own consulting firm, and Lockhart, Eskew and two other HotSoup partners — Michael Feldman and Chip Smith — do the same at the Glover Park Group.
Well, Mr. Dowd you know. He's the Bush strategist who convinced Karl Rove that centrism is for suckers. Mr. Fournier recently wrote a book with Mr. Dowd about how to manipulate people into believing that you're on the same side so you can sell them stuff.
You may not be familiar with some of the other players, though.
The Glover Park Group, for instance
The folks at the Glover Park Group—who last year helped conduct a stealth campaign to aid Rupert Murdoch—are now assisting Sen. Ted Stevens wreck the U.S. electronic media system. Stevens' Commerce Committee released a poll yesterday slamming "onerous Net Neutrality regulations." …
Now, to the "bipartisan" Glover Park Group (which did the poll with Public Opinion Strategies). Aren't we tired of Democrats who take the big bucks and the public interest be damned? This poll was written to help phone companies scuttle policies designed to provide community oversight of electronic media. The poll should come with a warning: "this is a political tool." That Stevens, Glover Park, and Public Opinion would hold it up as some objective measure is a sad joke. It's a lobbying love letter for Verizon, AT&T, BellSouth and the USTA. It asks questions about network neutrality purposely designed to undermine it as an issue. Perhaps that's why the poll doesn't reveal who funded it. Such well-known Democratic operatives as Howard Wolfson, Joe Lockhart, and Carter Eskew run Glover Park. In 2005, the group helped Rupert Murdoch organize a campaign designed to keep bringing in extra cash for his Fox TV empire. Press reports say they also have worked for big cable companies as well.
By helping the phone lobby create a closed Internet, the Glover Park Group is undermining the country's democracy. What great credentials alongside working for Fox.
They also ran ads for the Automobile Manufacturers against better mileage standards
Mr. McKinnon. Now, Mr. McKinnon's an interesting guy. He works, I'm sure you've heard, for Senator McCain's campaign. He's a gentle, thoughtful soul.
Mark McKinnon managed media for President George W. Bush's successful 2000 and 2004 campaigns, and has done similar work for candidates in Africa, Eastern Europe and South America. He said political parties and their candidates–regardless of ideology or cultural influences–want to win elections, and they will seek out the most effective ways to do it, even if it means adopting a more confrontational campaign model.
"The reality is that despite enormous cultural differences, elections are basically the same everywhere," said McKinnon, now vice chairman of Public Strategies in Austin, Texas, and president of Maverick Media.
He said foreign candidates rarely relish taking the gloves off–at first.
"There is almost always an initial resistance culturally; most countries aren't used to using the kind of hard-hitting tactics and strategies we use," McKinnon explained. "But as soon as they see that it might help their chances, they are locked and loaded."
But now, with Bush's story moving toward its final chapter and verse, longtime friends Matthew Dowd and Mark McKinnon, key advisers in the Bush presidential campaigns, are in different places heading in different directions. Each with criticisms of the presidency they helped create, each handling them differently.
So, for now, McKinnon remains loyal to the Republicans as an unpaid adviser to GOP Sen. John McCain's presidential bid, an effort he says is more about helping "a guy who spent five years at the Hanoi Hilton" than a "burning desire to be in presidential politics, or any politics, anymore."
The commitment to McCain is tempered by an attraction to Obama.
"If the Democratic nominee is Barack Obama, I will not work in the general election. I will, however, still support and vote for John McCain. I just don't want to work against an Obama candidacy," McKinnon said.
An Obama presidency, he said, "would send a great message to the country and the world."
Could he vote for Obama against a Republican other than McCain? "Yeah, sure."
Or, you know, maybe not
As McCain's strategic attention has turned toward Obama, "I've already started holding back," said McKinnon, who emphasizes he will continue to support McCain fully as "number one friend and cheerleader in chief."
"I'm not suggesting that I won't ever talk to Senator McCain or I won't ever talk to the campaign, but it won't have anything to do with Obama," said McKinnon. "I'll go to the debates and wear my lucky hat. But I won't be in debate prep."
Um, yeah.
So, you know, when the other candidate or their supporters piss you off and you start repeating Republican frames that appear in A Major News Source like they prove anything, keep in mind that that it's going to be much easier to bat away anti-Democrat memes in the general if you didn't use them during the primaries.
Because we're going to need all the help we can get. Ron Fournier's waiting for us.

Crib 5 is the short name for the test known as BS5852 Ignition Source 5. This test involves lighting a small balsamwood pile (like a game of Jenga and supposed to simulate a real chair), setting it on fire and then waiting to see if the fabric ignites and whether it self-extinguishes. There are a variety of tests for flame retardancy from Cigarette & Match through to Crib 7. Crib 5 is suitable for every contract use except inside prison cells and mental health institutions.
Chieftain Fabrics are delighted to announce that the entire Just Colour range is now a certified Crib 7 faux leather.
In the UK there are various tests for flammability of fabrics and these tests vary in their applicability to the domestic market and the contract market eg Hospitality, Healthcare sector, Education sector and so on.
When fabric is treated to a Crib 5 standard, it makes it suitable for most uses. Crib 5 fabrics are mainly used in contract environments where the impact of a fire can be very serious.
The Crib 7 test is a more stringent test, meaning when the fabric passes this test, it is suitable for more hazardous environments such as, prisons, mental health institutions and oil rigs for example.
During the test a wooden frame or 'crib' is made and placed on a chair that is upholstered in the fabric being tested. The theory is that the bigger the crib (and consequently, the bigger the flame), the more likely the fabric is to ignite. The Crib 7 frame is bigger than the Crib 5 frame meaning that the fabric is exposed to a more severe flame.
Contract grade fabrics undergo the Martindale Test to check their durability and suitability for use. The test is also known as the Rub Test and it tests for abrasion to the fabric, simulating use in a real world application.
The test gives a score in thousands of rubs. Domestic grade fabrics typically have a rating of up to 20,000 rubs where contract grade tends to be much higher, circa 100,000+
Typical classifications include:
Light domestic use 15,000 rubs
General domestic use 25,000 rubs
Heavy domestic use 30,000 rubs
General contract use 40,000 to 50,000 rubs
Extreme or severe contract use 75,000 rubs and above
To see our Martindale machine in action, check out this Vine clip.
Just Colour and Chieftain have both passed the 'Tropical Test' / 'Jungle Test'. This is a well-known test in the upholstery market and while its actual name is the Tropical Test, it can also be referred to as the Jungle Test.
Vinyl fabric can be affected by moisture as well as elevated temperatures, and in certain applications very high humidity is experienced with relatively high temperatures. In order to ensure that the vinyl fabric in question will perform under these conditions, the Tropical / Jungle test was developed.
This test involves placing vinyl sample into a test chamber. This test chamber is an oven pre-heated to 70˚C and at least 95% relative humidity. The test pieces are then placed in the oven and exposed to free passage of air on both sides. It is important to remember that the pressure inside the oven does not exceed atmospheric pressure.
The test sample is then examined against a control sample at the end of each week for a number of weeks or until the product breaks down and fails. Failure of the test sample would be in the form of surface cracking, delaminating of the lacquer layer from the backing cloth or extreme changes in colour and gloss levels.
It is accepted that a product designed for domestic purposes should withstand 3 weeks in the test chamber, and a product designed for contract upholstery should withstand 5 weeks in the test chamber.
The result for Just Colour and Chieftain is 5 weeks, which in test time is the equivalent of 5 years. This means, that in real terms, Just Colour and Chieftain can withstand extreme conditions over a period of 5 years.
We use a combination of in house testing in our own lab and a number of UKAS accredited labs to prove our own findings. All of the certificates which we provide to back up our fabric come from one of these UKAS accredited labs.
Chieftain is a worldwide supplier of performance fabric, headquartered in Ireland and with offices in the UK, and partners around Europe. Our R&D, quality control, distribution and marketing all takes place in Ireland. All our fabric is manufactured in Europe, but is hand inspected at our facility in Ireland before dispatch.
You can buy fabric directly from us or through any of our distribution partners listed on our Distributors page.
We use recycled sources for our backing cloths whenever possible. These can either be recycled PVC sources or sustainable cotton. We have reduced the PVC content of all of our fabrics. We can recycle used fabrics which have reached the end of their useful life. We know plastics are not renewable, and we recognise that in an ideal world we would not use them, but we're doing as much as we can … and more than most.
Full cleaning instructions are on our care page. However, if you care for the fabric properly, it will easily outlast the chair it's covering.
All of our fabrics are guaranteed. Chieftain and Lionella for 5 years. Just Colour and Just Patterns for 3 years and Trimcell for 2 years.
