I've been thinking a lot about magic lately. I guess it is because I read that the AQC challenge for 2019 is "Magic" (link here). I won't be entering the challenge as I'm not that confident in my skills, but it has given me a lot to think about. I've thought about what I might do if I was going to make something to enter.
For me, the term "magic" is not about pulling bunny rabbits out of top hats, but about the world around us, the people in it, and creativity.
The first thing that came to mind when I started thinking about magic is love. The magic of falling in love with your life partner, the magic of meeting your child for the first time and falling so deeply in love with a teeny tiny innocent face, the magic of life long friends that you don't even speak to for years, then pick up the phone and it was like yesterday. I tried to think of not-so-tried and true depictions of "love as magic" images that could be a quilt and considered an interpretation of Wendy Williams quilt "Pieces of my Heart" .
I just love how the love seems to burst right through this quilt!
But I just kept on coming back to that it would be difficult to separate love from magic and that there was more magic to be found… I then started thinking about the magic of a sunrise and the hope that a new day brings… I love how much Ann Brauer's quilts capture that magic:
Thinking about sunrises0 lead me to think about the magic of nature in general … I thought of a photograph of a rainbow eucalyptus I saw on my first trip to Jindabyne 13 years ago… Unfortunately, I didn't buy it. Nevertheless, in writing this blog, I googled "Rainbow Eucalyptus Photography" and came across this website that has some truly magical photographs of natural and man-made colourful places: 75 places so colourful it is hard to believe they are real:
It just is amazing how magically colourful the world can be!
One of my favourite collage quilters is Susan Carlson (Who also happens to be teaching at the AQC—but is already sold out!!) I think one of the most striking quilts she has created is the "Polka Dodo":
I don't think that you can get more magical than bringing an extinct bird back to life with fabric!! I also really enjoyed reading her blog about the process of creating this magnificent piece of art.
So where has all of this mental meandering taken me with regards to magic?
At the end of the day, I have come to the realization that magic is really about creativity. The magician creates an illusion that startles and surprises us. While nature supplies the most exemplary constellations of colour and landscapes, it is the photographers' skill and creativity that captures the essence of that splendor to enhance and share. Sue Carlson's creativity brought to life a bird that has been extinct from the 1700s, of which there are no photographs.
So, where does that leave me with thinking about what to make for the AQC challenge? I am, at the end of the day, grateful that I have been through this process of thinking about magic. I have been rewarded with beautiful photographs of natural and manmade vistas and with amazing examples of textile arts. Nevertheless, how might I represent the concept of creativity in a quilt that is about magic? I'm not sure… but I'll give it a bit more thought.


text: Violent clashes leave two people dead in Morbi, Gujarat: Two people have been reported killed in clashes between two groups in Gujarat's Morbi district. As per a report in The Indian Express, violent clashes had broken out between two caste groups in Shaktinagar village near Halvad town of Morbi district on Thursday evening. As per the police, the clashes were related to alleged murder of one Indrasinh Zala in Dhrangadhra taluka of neighbouring Surendranagar district. The police said that some people pelted stones on a convoy heading towards nearby Dhrangadhra town to attend condolence meeting of Zala. Those in the car stopped their vehicles and retaliated, leading to a bloody clash, police said. \u201cOne person has been killed, prima facie in firing. Police have not opened fire so we suspect he could have been killed in private firing. Two to three other persons have also been injured,\u201d Jaipalsinh Rathore, police superintendent of Morbi district was quoted as saying by The Indian Express. The Halvad police identified one of the victims as Rana Shiyar (45), a resident of nearby Golasan village. Shiyar was declared dead by a doctor around 5:30 pm, police said. Reports said that rioters set ablaze some cars and around two dozen motorbikes parked in Shatkinagar village. The SP confirmed that clashes were based on the acrimony created between two caste groups since alleged murder of Zala on July 7. \u201cCaste member of Zala were on their way to Dhrangadhra to attend his condolence meeting when people from the other caste group started pelting stones on their vehicles. This led to violence. However, the situation is under control now. Police has been deployed and rioters have been dispersed,\u201d the SP was quoted as saying by the Indian Express.

How to Become a General Contractor
General contractor are also called construction managers and their duty is to oversee and coordinate construction projects from start to finish. Their duties include managing the project budget, choosing materials, hiring and supervising contractors and laborers, keeping the project on track, problem-solving and liaising with other professionals like engineers and architects. It is a known fact that as they go about their duties, they need to ensure that the structure complies with all the relevant safety codes and regulations that apply to it.
It is important to highlight that the market rates for a construction manager are $97,510 depending on a variety of factors such as the level of education thus having an associate or bachelor's degree enables someone to command better pay. Experience is also a requirement and most jobs require construction managers to have at least two of experience. It is worth noting that general contractors also need to excel in other soft skills such as communication, decision-making, time management, personal initiative, and ability to meet deadlines in the time allocated.
When it comes to being a contractor the the first step is to get an associate degree in construction management or construction technology, which could increase the marketability of the individual in the building industry. The beauty with an associate degrees is that it incorporate other topics like project scheduling, accounting, building codes and contracts. An amazing fact to note is that in the course students also learn things like finishing, roofing, framing, reading blue prints, estimating project costs, using construction tools and operating machinery. An associate degree can open doors to entry-level work, or the same knowledge can be used to advance further and get a degree.
The second step is to get management experience by working under an experienced general contractor, which enables the trainee to get valuable on-the-job training o duties like overseeing purchase orders, collecting documents, tracking permits and keeping contractors aware of any problems.
The third step would be to obtain certification from the relevant local authorities in the state that one has trained in. One can also opt to be nationally certified which demonstrates that the contractor has the required knowledge and skills to work in any state. A national certification, called the certified construction manager credential is offered through the Construction Management Association of America. To get this certification applicants must do a self-study course then pass an exam. Apart from the mandatory certifications, there are other certifications increase the competency of the general contractor.
These are just some of the necessary steps towards being a general contractor.

Our children are in the line of fire
My wife and I live in Milwaukee. We raised our children here. All of whom are now adults and who are making their way in the world. Milwaukee is really a tale of two cities. Entertainment, jobs, a great lake, great restaurants, great summer festivals and generally a city that works well for a good number of people but if you are African-American and especially an African-American male it is not such a great place. Unemployment in the African-American community is higher; for African-American males it is well over 50percent. The poverty rate in the city is one of the highest in the nation. The Black infant mortality rate in Milwaukee is one of the highest in the nation. And Milwaukee has garnered the reputation of being the most segregated city in the nation with all of the challenges that this reality bring with it. We have lived in the city for 27 years and over time factories have moved, good paying jobs have moved, Malls have closed and hospitals that serve a primarily poor and Black and Brown constituencies have closed their doors. These realities have caused a deeper pain and there is no doubt that this pain has contributed to the escalating violence that that has gripped so many communities all across urban America. There is a powerful book that I read some years ago and that I go back and re-read from time to time. It was written by Howard Thurman and entitled: JESUS and the Disinherited. The reality of poverty which really is oppression creates fear, despair and anger for people who live in this place of systematic violence but he says that we can never give in to these emotions. An easy thing to say but a far greater thing to do if it is left entirely to human will. I think what policy makers, sociologist and politicians don't ever take into account is how much hopelessness and despair are a part of the equation as a result of years and years of living in a place of poverty. Hopelessness leads to violence and hopelessness is a spiritual issue. A piece of the solution in dealing with the horrendous acts of violence that we are seeing in larger and larger numbers must have a spiritual component in whatever way that needs to manifest itself but for me it means that faith communities that are located in these communities where the violence is happening cannot remain on the sidelines or remain only a one day a week church. The Gospels say that when Jesus saw the crowds hapless and helpless(dis-inherited) like sheep without a shepherd he was moved to compassion and his compassion led him to act on their behalf. He fed them but his feeding was not only a physical one there was more. He made people well and that wellness was about making people whole. Just as compassion brought him to where the broken-hearted and the disinherited lived. The church must be out in the street engaging them with a Gospel that is real and that speaks to real needs because that Gospel and that Jesus is still able to bind up wounds and set captives free. As I write today there is a cloud cover; the air is pregnant with moisture it is symbolic I think given the tremendous pain that this community has suffered over these last couple of months. Little Sierra Guyton was buried a couple of days ago after two months of a long battle to recover from a gun shot to the head. She was 10 years of age. Last night gunfire rang out again and two children 10 and 11 years of age were wounded. The shooter fired his weapon in front of the seven children who were passengers in the car that he was driving. Rain will come at some point today after a long, hard and painful night of violence. God has been watching and God continues to watch. And He weeps and as the rain touches the earth and touches us we will rise refreshed with a renewed strength and will to get back in the trenches to bring healing and hope to those who are so desperate for both.

Hi welcome to another radiology channel tutorial on the pediatric elbow radiograph i'm dr jeremy jones from radiopaedia and today we're going to be looking at supracondylar fractures. take a look at these three radiographs and see if you can identify those that have a supracondylar fracture. if you're not already viewing this in high definition i suggest you do so. you can always pause the tutorial if you need more time the elbow joint is made up of the humerus, the ulnar and the radius. the radial head sits in the radial notch of the ulnar.
And is surrounded by the annular ligaments. It sits adjacent to the capitellum which is central in the elbow. when the elbow is extended the olecranon sits within the olecranon fossa. this is the narrowest point of the distal humerus and therefore the weakest point of the pediatric elbow. if we apply force to the capitellum the supracondylar portion of the distal humerus is the weakest area and therefore the area most like to fracture. as such supracondylar fractures are the commonest of the pediatric elbow fractures. they typically occur following a fall onto a hyperextended elbow.
As with any fracture complications include damage to local vessels such as the brachial artery, and damage to local nerves such as the ulnar nerve which can be damaged in severe displacement. a line drawn down the anterior surface of the humus should intersect the middle third of the capitellum. since the capitellum is displaced posteriorly in the vast majority of supracondylar fractures this is an extremely helpful tool for demonstrating correct alignment at the elbow joint. let's look back at our cases. in case A, if we draw a line down the anterior surface of the humerus.
Supracondylar fracture radiology tutorial tutorial xray
And then draw in the expected location of the capitellum, we can see that a force applied down the radius has displaced the capitellum posteriorly. in addition there is an anterior fat pad indicative of an elbow effusion. there is also irregularity of the dorsal cortex which represents the fracture. if we move on to case B, we can draw in our anterior humeral line and the expected location of the capitellum. there is no capitellar displacement however there's a large anterior fat pad suggesting an elbow effusion, which has been caused by this longitudinal fracture to the radial neck.
Let's move on to case C. again we can draw in the anterior humeral line, and we can draw in the expected location of the capitellum. again, force down the radius has caused posterior displacement of the capitellum. on this occasion there is no evidence of an elbow effusion, but if you look carefully in the olecranon fossa there's irregularity of the cortex caused by the supracondylar fracture. So we have seen two cases of supracondylar fracture, learnt that they are the commonest pediatric elbow fracture, and subtle and easy to miss in certain circumstances,.

My Face
You have no wrinkles in your face,
my daughter Catherine exclaimed.
There were no faults or fissures.
Nothing life had eroded away.
Events that accumulate
verse after verse,
put musical notes around the eyes,
the spots and blemishes of day to day.
And she's right.
My face is as interesting as a melon,
being tapped for ripeness.
Is he sweet or sour inside?
Bright or slow?
Is there history there,
or only doggedness?
Why do some people's faces
stay as they are,
and play peek-a-boo with themselves
in the mirror?

It wasn't Tiger Woods, Phil Mickelson or Padraig Harrington who won the 2009 U.S. Open Championship. It wasn't even Geoff Ogilvy, Jim Furyk or Retief Goosen. Nope, it was an unknown who won this year's U.S. Open as Lucas Glover edged out Mickelson, a fast charging David Duval and Ricky Barnes.
Glover won the open with a score of 276, which was only two strokes better than Mickelson, Duval and Barnes. Glover won despite not leading in any of the previous three rounds. Barnes led going into the final round, but shot a disappointing 76 in Round 4 after sporting a 67, 65 and 70 in the previous rounds.
It was a sad day for Mickelson, who once again finished as the runner up in the U.S. Open for the fifth time in his career. He shot a 69 in Round 1, a 70 in Round 2, a 69 in Round 3 and a 70 in Round 4.
Oddsmakers from online sports book SPORTSBETTING established Tiger Woods as the opening favorite at 3/2 to win. Mickelson was 10/1, but moved to 11/2 after Round 3. Glover and Barnes were part of The Field, which was 5/2 to win at the start of the U.S. Open, but moved to 2/1 and 5/2, respectively.

USN 19-Anabol Testo Reviewed
Table Of Contents
Sports Supplement specialists USN make a natural based testosterone booster called 19-Anabol Testo
It will (it is claimed) provide a boost to muscle mass, strength, energy levels as well as providing a spike in sex drive
Ingredients in 19-Anabol Testo
19-Anabol Testo is made from a rather large proprietary blend that includes
- Tribuklus Terrestris
- L-Carnitine
- L-Cysteine
- Panax Ginseng
- Fenugreek
- Miura Pauma
What the makers do not disclose is the actual amount of each of these and in fact the full ingredients in the list. They simply call it a 2940g proprietary mix.
3-4 capsules twice a day, once 30 minutes before workout and one at bed time.
Cycle on a five days on, two days off routine for 8 weeks. Have two weeks rest and start again.
Users Feedback
To be fair, this product has recorded some positive feedback, the only thing is that most positive comments seem to centre on its ability to increase sex drive and not on its ability to boost strength and muscle mass.
Some users failed to see any difference at all, so possibly not suited for all users.
There were a few comments on quantity supplied, with a number of users claiming shortages, sometimes up to 10 capsules.
Side Effects?
There have been reports of users experiencing headaches, heartburn, wind and stomach aches.
None provided
Where To Buy 19-Anabol Testo
Available from several online sources including Amazon, prices start at around $53.00 for 180 tabs.
Our Thoughts
Taking a first look at the ingredients, 19-Anabol Testo looks really good. The main concern for us is the fact that virtually all reviews centre on the products ability to boost sex drive.
A welcome effect – definately, but as for its main intended purpose, it does seem to fall behind when compared to other products.
With this one, its really a case of 'pay your money and take your chance' it could work for some…
Top Three Testosterone Boosters
Regretfully we were unable to give 19-Anabol Testo a spot on our list of the Top Three Rated Testosterone Boosters. This has been compiled after taking a strict criteria into account:
- Ingredients
- Users Feedback
- Approvals
- Guarantees
- Price

Hostels can be the perfect way to make your travels cheaper and to spend less money on accommodations. However, there are some things that the first time hostel guests could be surprised about and unprepared for. So here are some key tips for staying at a hostel, that will make your time there more enjoyable and overall much better.
1. Do your research
Just as you would if you booked a hotel room or rented an Airbnb, do your research on the hostel you are planning to stay at. There are many types of hostels out there nowadays, from a bigger network hostels, to independent ones to boutique hostels that are dedicated to a certain theme. So figure out in which type of hostel you want to stay at before hand. Also check the reviews of the hostels you are going to be booking, since they can give you some insight as to how good or bad the hostel is. Just remember to take the reviews with a grain of salt, too, as sometimes people have too high of expectations for hostels, and once the hostel didn't reach these expectations, they leave a string of bad comments that actually have no basis. And lastly regarding doing research, also pay attention to the amenities that each of the hostels offer, since many times hostels have things like hairdryers, WiFi, bedside reading lights, and linens, which in this case you won't need to take with you.
2. Chose your room/bed wisely
Another tip regarding hostels is to chose your hostel room or bed/bunk wisely, as the one you will choose can largely influence how good or bad of a stay you have at the hostel. Most hostels offer various different options in terms of accommodations from coed rooms with bunk beds and up to 10 bed spaces to single sex rooms with only a few beds to single rooms. If you do chose to stay in the usually cheaper room with multiple bed paces and bunk beds, I would advise you to chose to sleep at the bottom bunk, as it will dive you not only easier access to your bed but also the option to store your bags under the bed and much easier access to an outlet to charge your phone or other electronics.
3. Keep your valuables close
Hostels, as much fun and inexpensive they are, they usually run on trust and common sense basis, meaning, that the rooms don't really lock and there aren't big lockers where you can store your valuables. Of coarse there are hostels that do offer to rent a small locker to put your passport, cash, laptop, camera and other valuables in so they are safe, and if that is the case then use this service, but don't count on it in every hostel. So keep an eye on your valuables and don't flaunt them around and definitely don't leave them lying around, even if you thing that the other people at the hostel look trustworthy.
4. Communicate
And lastly probably the most valuable tip for those staying at hostels is to communicate with others staying at the hostel. Don't be shy when someone starts a conversation with you and also don't be afraid to chat up somebody yourself. Hostels are intended to not only be a cheap accommodation options but also a way for travelers to connect. So if the hostel is organizing some activities or even you see people in the common room eating/cooking breakfast or eating dinner at the cafe near by, join them, and who knows you might find your future best friend or even your future spouse or at least get a chance to share some travel tips or gain a temporary travel companion.

Book Review: Sorcerers of the Nightwing by Geoffrey Huntington
8:09 pm 21 September 2013
: I honestly downloaded this book because it contained the name "Nightwing" - nerd girl points for me.
I hate to attach a certain popular wizard tale to this title, even though the author mentions the book in passing, but it did feel slightly like a coat tale ride along. That isn't saying that the book didn't stand out and venture out and lay down a very complex storyline to veer off the beaten path. I'll even admit that this was a fun read. Let's look at the pros and cons:
What Was Good:
The writing was very easy to take in without trying to pick apart the world building.
The opening scene starts with a demon of hell in a closet - spooky and freaky
I did like the characters, overall. Devon was agreeable, and Cecily, for the most part, was a strong female lead. No issue with character personality
The storyline was complex with small, twisting threads of other events happening in the background
The mood was completely awesome. Constant storming in a huge, nearly empty mansion is an ideal setting
Creepy creepy creepy - done right
What Was Meh:
The repetition really beat the reader over the head. It also read as a younger grade novel with the constant reminders of the main plot.
The main characters were nice, but it seemed that secondary characters were just along for the ride. This was sad, because most of the characters were quite decent
I wasn't shocked by the twist. It was almost obligatory
The pop references - I can understand mentioning some current trends and fads, but it is going to age your novel very very quickly
The minor plots were great, but it seemed that everything was tossed out on the table for the first book, and not all of the other arcs were tied up. There were just too many questions still left at the end, including the major "
Who am I?
" question. For the constant repetition, I expected to get some answers, or some clues about the direction. Yes, this is a series, but it was just annoying how it ended. I want to read the next one because I enjoyed it, not because I feel obligated to find the answers.
This was a fun fantasy read with a touch of ominous ambitions. This was a horror/fantasy book with a heart, but there was just too many nagging details to overlook and endure.

From first contacting Alan Campbell Engineering Services (ACES) in an effort to resolve a problem with a power unit, our issue was dealt with promptly and professionally.
After discussing the options available to us, we elected to ship the unit directly to ACES for evaluation. On receiving our unit, they fast- tracked it through their facility and identified the problem within 48 hours. As our power unit forms part of a system, they sent an engineer along with the repaired unit, so that this could be fitted and checked before sign off of the repair.
I would have no hesitation in contacting ACES in the future for any similar issues arising with our equipment.- Mark White, AME Group
I would highly recommend ACES to other Telecommunication and related companies. I have recently used ACES on a major Inverter refurbishment project and found them to be professional and easy to deal with during the lifecycle of the project.- Chris Plummer, Level 3 Communications Limited
As part of the C&W contract we at Mitie have been using ACES for the last five years. They offer an excellent service across the board, excellent turnaround times with a high level of technical knowledge. I would recommend them to anyone.- Warren Bateman - Senior Engineer, Mitie Technical Facilities Management Limited
Alan Campbell Engineering always offers reliability, honesty and a courteous service. They supply a professional repair service with a quick turnaround and are always happy to assist with urgent requests. Add to this an excellent Customer Service and you really do receive a top of the range package. I would highly recommend.
- Richard Boreham – Engineering Manager, CPS Auxilion
Great Service from a professional company and every time I have had to contact ACES, I have had a polite and professional response and the service has been excellent. Excellent pricing and promptness with quotations. The repair and return of equipment has been excellent. Would highly recommend.- Dave Buswell, Adville Limited
A thoroughly reliable contractor who provide excellent customer service. Consistently achieve our expectations and are highly recommended- Jonathan Philips, Carillion Facilities Management

When group benefit plans include a life insurance component, the insured employee must choose someone to receive the benefit after their death.
How do you choose a beneficiary for your group benefit plan?
People sometimes ask us to help them make this decision, but of course we cannot do that. Who to name as your beneficiary is something only you can answer.
The most common choices are spouse, children, other family members, or favourite charity. It is also common to divide the assets amongst several different parties such as children or siblings.
Note that if your beneficiaries are minors, you need to nominate a trustee. It's usually a good idea for that to be the same person who is a trustee in your will.
Naming a beneficiary is a serious decision
Of course the more parties that are involved, the more complex things can get, and it may be advisable that you speak to a lawyer. The same is true where you're dealing with a large amount of money, such as a benefit of three times your annual salary.
Aside from talking to your family lawyer, you definitely want to talk to your family. People, quite often, don't take choosing a beneficiary as seriously as they should. Think down the line as to what might happen, for example what if your beneficiary dies before you do, or if you both die in the same accident?
If your beneficiary has died, would you want the money to go to that person's estate or to a surviving family member or others of your choosing? You can specify someone else as a contingency beneficiary. A contingency beneficiary doesn't receive any money unless the primary beneficiary dies first. Putting this in place means your wishes will be clear.
Ideally, you should review your beneficiary from time to time, especially after separation or divorce. It is not uncommon for people to call the benefits provider in a panic when they've realized an ex-spouse is still listed as their beneficiary.
In Quebec, spousal beneficiaries are irrevocable by default, which means unless you designate the beneficiary as revocable, you cannot change them without the beneficiary's permission. If a former spouse does not agree with being removed as the beneficiary lawyers may have to become involved.
Should the beneficiaries for your group benefits plan be the same as your will?
Some people elect to designate their estate as the group plan beneficiary, but there are reasons you may want them to be mutually exclusive. For one, your will could be much more complex than the life insurance policy in your group benefits plan. Some assets in your will could go to probate and not be settled for years.
Insurance companies, on the other hand, tend to get things paid off quickly as long as the documentation is correct. These funds can be very handy for covering final expenses.
While I have only dealt with a handful of employee deaths in the years I've been in business, I remember one very sad situation where the employee's original beneficiary had died and no one knew what to do with her money.
Naming a beneficiary is a tough thing to think about, but it is definitely something you want to do.
ASSOCIUM Benefits is a very unique employee group benefits provider, focused on supporting benefits advisors and their employer clients. We provide Brokers and Plan Sponsors with a range of solutions from traditional group benefits to more customized, cost and tax effective employee compensation. Let's connect to find out how we can help.

At first glance, purple may seem like an unexpected hue to incorporate into your interior space. But Ultra Violet is a sophisticated color that is bold, alluring, and powerful. You can take this rich hue in many directions, whether it's spicing up an old bedroom or adding brightness to a living room. Transform any environment with this versatile color and make a statement using Violet furniture and home decor. Here are our top five tips on how to introduce Ultra Violet into your home.
Image via careykarlan.com
Go bold and bright with purple velvet furniture. Velvet is still popular today in home decor; it puts a twist on the antique style we once remembered. Dark and romantic, you are sure to make a statement with rich purple velvet chairs, couches, and sofas. Ultra Violet perfectly pairs with neutral colors. The contrast provides a nice and stunning look regardless of the style of the room. Adding this daring hue to your furniture will create a strong focal point, which allows you to easily pair it with softer colors. Soften the space by adding some crisp whites and even a variety of soft browns to create a refreshing and airy environment.

Stir up some conversation with an Ultra Violet accent wall. Because the hue is known for its bold and vivid color, introducing a violet accent wall will increase the contrast between your furniture. Balance the look with other shades of violets, which add a sense of harmony and luxury to the space. For smaller rooms and narrow hallways, paint the interior and exterior doors for an amazing look that is sure to cause a double take.
We can't forget about wallpapers! They are excellent for adding texture, which is a big plus in interior design and home decor. Transform your bedroom, living room, and even entryway using Violet printed wallpaper. They're easy to install and you can choose from many shades and patterns to fit your creative personality. Use Ultra Violet geometric prints for that modern art deco feel. Embrace your identity and go back to your roots with ethnic prints for a beautiful home. So don't be shy! Reinvent your interior space by unleashing your artistic expression and creativity with Ultra Violet wallpaper. No matter the style or shade, adding Ultra Violet will certainly brighten up the space.
Image via lonny.com and designthusiasm.com
If you're not ready to commit to an Ultra Violet wallpaper, opt for a subtle purple tone rug. It adds an interesting element to your interior by creating a more inviting and brighter space. A good rule of thumb is to use another light hue to complement the purple. Shades of greens are perfect! These colors give the environment a cool and refreshing atmosphere. Keep it simple and chic by adding rugs with patterns. Create a pleasant look reminiscent of the modern French country style with natural woods and rustic materials.
Image via furniturechoice.co.uk and decordesignshow.com
Incorporating an Ultra Violet painting and small furniture pieces make an amazing statement without commitment. This is also a great opportunity to add a touch of personality to wall art, pillows, and throws. Be playful or sophisticated by matching the hue with soft greys and whites for that nice polished look. Your living room is your sanctuary. Spruce it up by incorporating monochromatic shades to help balance the deep purple hue. The sky's the limit when it comes to accessorizing your home. Whether you choose wall art, pillows or other home decor pieces, your room is sure to shine.
Image via briarbarninn.com
Fall back and spring forward with Ultra Violet flowers! That pop of color is all you need for an elegant presentation; after all, Ultra Violet is associated with power and luxury. For a beautiful and vibrant look, accessorize and layer up your dining table with similar hues. Having several shades of purple colored flowers creates a graceful and delicate look, which is perfect for spring weddings. Add soft pinks and light golds to your Violet flowers for a whimsical and dreamy wedding. Need more inspiration for spring weddings? Read our article on this year's spring floral wedding themes.

Mondern Capitalism, Consumerism And The Quality Of A Product
Posted by DeadAnarchistPhil on August 28, 2009
I aint been around for five or six days, you probably didn't notice because I'm always disappearing for months on end! haha. I've been letting my back rest while the router/modem at our place decided it was faulty. So my back is feeling much better after a rest and now the net is back I can blog a little!
My Vlogging idea hasn't got off the ground yet because my PC cam's quality has degraded so much! You want quality you have to pay through the nose for it! It's obvious these Companies could mass produce a quality camera that will last a long time for a reasonable price. But no, the law of modern Capitalism says otherwise, especially where electronics are concerned. You buy a modern electronic device and it's out of date in six months, the same can be said for operating systems for Personal Computers too.
When you buy expensive PC Cams they usually degrade or break after two years or so and also will most likely not work on any new Windows or Mac Operating Systems because they don't support the hardware or software anymore. Yes the manufactures of the cams do updates but eventually they want it to stop working so you go out and buy a new one! So eventually they stop supporting it, this little rule of business applies to Operating Systems too. For example, Windows XP, it's Microsoft's best OS for some time and people like it, when Microsoft brought out Windows Vista people's reactions to the new OS was luke warm at best. So what do Microsoft do?… they stop supporting XP so you'll have to up-grade to some kind of Vista OS.
I know these companies have to stay in business and want people to buy their new devices and offerings, but not at the expense of the publics pockets. These companies not only want you to buy their goods but are telling you what you want by forcing this stuff on you! I thought market forces decided what we get, not the producers who supply us? We want X, Y and Z but they supply A, B and C because they think it's what we want, and when we don't want it they force it on us. In a Computer software industry where there's only one user-friendly Operating System with the rest a little complicated it leaves you a little strapped for choice so you have to choose what Microsoft offer. The same can be said for the hardware and other electronic devices, they make it built not to last because it's the nature of the business and make you pay through the nose for it when it aint quality!
You could say it's the nature of the electronic industry, but I've observed the same kind of trend in the clothing, furniture and even housing industries! Clothes for example, you can have the same pants made in the same place, some then have a designer label sewn on them, the others don't. One person pays £30 quid for a pair with the label on, the other pays £5 quid for a pair with no label on it. They're both the same article and wear-out at the same time if worn the same amount of times. Another instance, a bed, my grandmother bought a light-weight Iron bed back in 1930s for a good price, maybe earlier, and it lasted 'till 1996! It was her Brother's while he was at home, then was used for one of her own sons then her grandchildren! How many beds these days last that long? How much furniture at all last over 5 years these days?
The idea of you get what you pay for is very seldom the case these days, nothing is built or made to last because you don't make more money that way, it would put some businesses out of business and lose profits for some, and God forbid that should happen! Ever since the end of World War Two the principle you get what you pay for has melted away and been replaced by 'CONSUME! CONSUME! CONSUME!' of shoddy rubbish under the pretence that it's quality to increase profits.
So it looks like I'll be making audio of my blogs instead of videos, I'll have to put some pictures on there to illustrate what I'm saying. Should be good!

Hello Phil, perhaps for "consumer" read "blithering idiot". It\'s quite obvious that we are all far too moronic to see past cunning marketing ploys. Manipulation is the name of the game and let\'s face it , nothing is easier. Since we really don\'t know what\'s good for us, we may as well sit back and be told! In the immortal words of Aldo Zilli " Isn\'t it nice to be told what you can eat ". Of course, not all advertising is quite so scientific, ads for mobile phones and price comparison sites are not only aimed at five year olds, they\'re probably devised in nursery school. Pseudo scientific and technological jargon rules our conscious existence and should you wish to stop smoking you\'ll find it too confusing unless the N.H.S. guides you with a free DVD. What has all this to do with shoddy goods? Well. in the world of BOGOFF nothing\'s worth a tinkers toss. Furniture is made of cardboard, food tastes of cardboard and pretty soon they\'ll be making hard drives of the stuff. The product isn\'t important, it\'s the concept and profit margin and ya can\'t beat Mammon. Gotta go now, time to smear on some anti-ageing cream, brush-up with some " Pro Enamel" and turn off a few everlasting light bulbs. All the best, T

Hi Hansom, I hope your back has rested all the hard work you have been doing in the garden no wonder you need to rest lol.Sorry about the other day on msn but i wasnt on i was having it cleard out of all the four years of rubbish id put on haha no!!! i don\'t meen you hahah. Hope to take soon love hugs Buttercup xxxx
August 28, 2009 at 9:55 am
Very acutely observed but come on Phil, if manufacturers made quality goods that lasted, where\'s the money in it? Whilst some prodcuts appear to be grossly over priced they manufacturers know there is a limit to what people will pay – well normal people anyway – so there is a ceiling price for everything and as long as people are prepared to pay it – it will remain, regardless of quality.But all good have a life expectancy – designer label or not – and for me, 2 years is not enough for a web cam for a PC. I took a PC back to PC World that I\'d had for over 18 months, it was out of warrantee but the hard drive had failed. I argued it was not fit for purpose if they seemed it was acceptable for a hard drive to pack in after 18 months and also added that they could easily see how much of a user I was. After a bit of haggling and threats to go to trading standards – I walked away with a new computer and a free mouse mat for my troubles. Ironically, PC world have just been voted worst for customer services and technical knowledge – for a PC store, that is pretty poor really.We only see the end result of consumerism but I know people who work in marketing and advertising and it is more of an precise science than we give it credit for but the maxim is, it will sell if people will pay for it and like fools, we do!You would have thought that given I was with 2 like minded people. Musical tastes, beliefs, attiudes and we had been down the road many times before, you would have thought our last veture would be a little more successful but same old story, squabbling, arguing and the like.No wonder I hung up my sticks.For me it was never about creative control, money or the women – i just wanted to enjoy playing music and being part of something. That\'s what makes it all the more disappointingHave a good weekend and don\'t blame this weather on me!! I go on holiday next week – expect rain then!Pete

So when you read the title, did you think of someone making fun of former Vice-President Al Gore, or did you think of him mocking someone else? In this case it is both — because Al Gore is mocking someone else, specifically Rep. Dave Reichert (R-WA), and succeeding in making a mockery of himself.
Al Gore gathered with Senator Maria Cantwell (D-WA) and Rep. Reichert's Democratic challenger, Darcy Burner, at a Seattle University conference room on October 24th, 2006. At one point, Seattle Mayor Greg Nickels said that Rep. Reichert doesn't believe people are causing global warming. Here is what the Seattle Times reports that Al Gore responded:
"Did he say that?" interrupted Gore, whose film about global warming, "An Inconvenient Truth," grossed $23.7 million. "He's not sure it's caused by humans?"
"He's not convinced that it's caused by human beings," responded Nickels.
"C'mon! And this man is a United States congressman?" asked Gore. "You know, 15 percent of people believe the moon landing was staged on some movie lot and a somewhat smaller number still believe the Earth is flat. They get together on Saturday night and party with the global-warming deniers."
That's a nice little ad hominem attack and appeal to ridicule that Gore launched. I can't take his argument that seriously if he has to resort to logical fallacies in a debate.
I wish I could have been there, because I'd like to ask Al Gore two questions. Here they are:
1) Mr. Gore, are you aware that the Martian polar ice caps have been melting at an accelerated rate?
2) What percentage of the current global warming of Mars is attributable to human action?
I'd love to hear Al Gore try to explain how human activities on Earth could explain planetary warming on Mars. But there is a very clear answer that has nothing to do with human beings: increased solar activity.
But the inconvenient truth — that the sun is the real force behind global warming — doesn't sell as many movie tickets, I guess.

A theory of consciousness
I had a somewhat unsettling thought last night.
You know how, when you're dreaming and the outside world creeps in (for example a phone rings), your minds immediately incorporates the disturbance and back-fills it into your dream? Creates an entire back-story on-the-fly, as if it were always part of your current dream?
What if things work the same in your waking life... What if everything you do happens "mechanically", in a deterministic way, and milliseconds after you start some action, the illusion of a decision process, of the narrative, for that action is back-filled into your memory? This manufactured narrative is stored, as if it were the conscious decision, and will influence future deterministic reactions.
This is not entirely off-the-wall. There is some evidence supporting the thesis. It has been shown that certain areas of your brain involved in conscious decision making fire just after the action has started to take place.
I'm still pondering on the implications of this regarding consciousness and free will. Seriously hard to get my mind wrapped around that one!

These mice have a brown phenotype of abdominal fat and resistance to obesity (52). FOXC2 is a gene for a transcription factor that is exclusively expressed in adipose tissue. Its transgenic expression in the adipose tissue in mice results in a lean, obesityresistant, and insulin-sensitive phenotype. The adipose organ of these mice has a browner phenotype than that of controls (53). Of note, humans with insulin resistance have a reduction of FOXC2 expression in biopsies from the abdominal subcutaneous adipose tissue, together with a reduction of other genes of brown adipocyte phenotype (54).

Its expression is increased during fasting and reduced by refeeding and insulin (69), whereas thiazolidinediones stimulate it (70). Deletion of AQPap in mice induces a lack of plasma glycerol increase in response to G-adrenergic stimulation and during fasting, with hypoglycemia during fasting (71), and results in obesity (72). Missense mutations resulting in the loss of transport activity have been described in humans (73). One subject homozygous for such a mutation had a normal body weight and normal basal plasma glycerol concentration but a lack of increase during exercise (73), suggesting that AQPap has a role in glycerol efflux in humans but is not the only mechanism.

Turbines generating electricity after much active endeavour
Six years have passed and his words have been brought to life, with modernisation at Lukoml hydroelectric power station, Minsk HPP-3 and Grodno HPP-2, as well as at Lida, Brest and Baranovichi HPPs. Several regional and central stations have been adjusted to allow efficient use of local fuels, as part of the 2006-2010 state power engineering modernisation programme. The result is 450MW of additional capacity, plus fuel saving of 1.6m tonnes. It makes us ponder what is next…
Before entering the new HPP-5, the Belarusian President studied information stands detailing the work and prospects of our energy system. One schedule showed a forecast for gas consumption: by 2015, it should have fallen considerably. In 2010, 12.03bn cubic metres of gas were burnt to generate power. This would reach 12.29bn by 2015 without modernisation and should now fall to 10.13bn cubic metres. Of course, fuel prices do fluctuate and are currently quite affordable for us (compared to our closest neighbours). Another useful figure is that almost 3,000MW — 'highly efficient generating capacities' — are set to be put into exploitation by 2015 as part of the Belarusian power engineering development strategy. Naturally, as the economy grows, so does our need for electricity.
The HPP-5 is rather legendary, having been planned as a nuclear power station in Soviet times. Construction was launched but, of course, fate chose another path. Around 40km of heat distribution networking had been laid to the capital, which seemed 'normal' during Soviet times, but was obviously unwarranted under market conditions. Moreover, the industrial consumers for whom the energy was planned had no need for such volumes. Initially, one power unit was completed, boasting 320MW capacity and around 39 percent efficiency, with fuel consumption of 317 grams per kilowatt-hour. The new power unit boasts 400MW capacity, plus 57 percent efficiency, using 223.5 grams per kilowatt-hour. Clearly, today's technology is allowing us to generate more energy from less fuel, satisfying growing demand.
The China National Corporation for Overseas Economic Co-operation is helping with the grand project, having signed a contract with us in 2008. Meanwhile, the China Development Bank is fully financing the works.
I actually visited a heat power plant with Soviet technology and have to admit that it was extremely noisy and, although clean, could not be compared with the polished and painted floor of the HPP-5 turbine shop, where even a dropped paper clip can be easily found (as I discovered on looking through my data pack and letting a clip fall).
The moment of the power unit launch was truly impressive, with the President joined by Belarus' First Deputy Prime Minister,
Vladimir Semashko, and Belarus' Energy Minister, Alexander Ozerets, in pressing the start button. The turbine's speedometer immediately began to display and, after just over a minute, a red inscription appeared on the monitor: 'Power unit is operating'. Everything went to plan.
Such success seems likely to inspire further liaisons with the China National Corporation for Overseas Economic Co-operation. The President smiled, "Let's plan another construction like that."
According to Mr. Semashko, a power unit is planned for Minsk's Krasny Bor, with the Chinese already offering their participation. "If our proposals are accepted, we'll be able to think about launching another power unit next year," Belarus' First Deputy Prime Minister tells us. The President's words to the leadership of the People's Republic of China may serve as a guarantee of the seriousness of our intentions. He asked that his words of gratitude be sent personally to Chairman Hu Jintao and promised, "I hope to meet China's leadership very soon to discuss prospects for our relations."
Efficiency and mutual benefit are our watchwords, as can be applied to a new enterprise — Avgust-Bel JSC, located nearby. It manufactures plant-protecting agents and such manufacture exists only in Belarus, Russia and Kazakhstan. A Russian investor plans to expand manufacture there, as the Belarusian President was keen to understand. The first results are already evident, creating an argument for further liaisons as convincing as that offered by our Chinese partners. Time will show and analysis should last till November; one of the major criteria will be the results of Avgust-Bel's produce application in the Minsk Region.

Sunscreen is essential for many reasons, not only does it save your skin from the dangers of skin cancer, but it also keeps your skin free of wrinkles and sun spots. I am crazy about my sunscreen, especially what I wear on my face. I really like Coola Mineral SPF 30 for my face, it goes on smooth and does not feel greasy at all. For my kids I use Aveeno Baby and Babyganics, both are mineral based and are SPF 50.
Don't forget to apply sunscreen 30 minutes prior to being in the sun and reapply every 1-2 hours.
Happy Summer!
