"Rock 'n' roll smells phony and false. It is sung, played and written, for the most part, by cretinous goons. And, by means of its almost imbecilic reiteration, and sly, lewd and in plain fact, dirty lyrics ... it manages to be the martial music of every side-burned delinquent on the face of the earth."
--- Frank Sinatra
The music of the nineteen fifties looms large in our popular imagination: the clips of Elvis on camera and his pelvis slightly off camera and Buddy Holly and the Crickets bounding through "Peggy Sue" on that slightly distorted Ed Sullivan kinescope, the candied silliness of American Graffiti and original Happy Days jukebox playing "Rock Around the Clock." The effect of such pop-cultural oversaturation has been to launch fifties rock and roll into the no man's land of free-floating-signifiers, memories of a past constructed by film and television, divorced from their original cultural significance. That is to say: to contemporary ears, it's often difficult to hear what's so great about Elvis.
The crossovers taking place in post-war popular music, between rhythm and blues, gospel, country, and swing, and the pop charts gave birth, so the story goes, inevitably, to rock and roll. The hegemonic narrative of "rock" has so permeated our contemporary understanding of popular music and, particularly, of rock's relationship to American identity, that it becomes, after a certain point, difficult to separate "rock" from "popular music." Indeed, during my mis-spent youth of the eighties, I'm not sure I (and millions like me) could have adequately separated the two. From this point on, rock becomes the focal point of popular music and we follow the ways in which it became that focal point.
Along with the increasing popularity of black musics, especially rhythm and blues, one of the key factors in that development was the splintering, commercialization, and general "toughening-up" of country and western music. Hank Williams became a model of self-contained singer-songwriter-guitarist, who scored country chart hits that became, when slightly urbanized by producers such as Mitch Miller, pop hits for Tony Bennett, Frankie Laine, Jo Stafford, and other pop singers in the early fifties. His influence both as songwriter and as ur-rock cultural icon (living recklessly, dying young, balancing the spiritual and the carnal) is still pervasive; indeed, it is somewhat difficult to imagine Bob Dylan or Leonard Cohen, much less entire schools of country music, without him.
The toughened-up jukebox country music termed 'honky tonk' of Williams, Kitty Wells, and Red Foley provided a nice counter-part to the rapidly developing form of bluegrass. Bluegrass, as practiced by Bill Monroe and Flatt and Scruggs was more rural, more communal, and more focused on instrumental virtuosity than honky tonk. And, like honky tonk, proved invaluable as an influence on what became rock and roll: lengthy, showboating solos, and double-time instrumental passages between vocal passages would eventually become a major feature of big-time rock and roll. When Dolly Parton, in 2002, recorded a bluegrass version of Led Zeppelin's "Stairway to Heaven", she underlined this connection that too few performers or listeners make.
While r&b and country were becoming increasingly popular (and those genre's biggest hits were being covered by more sedate, more white performers on the pop charts), the tradition of jazz singing and the Great American Songbook were suffering on the pop charts. Without demonizing Mitch ("Sing Along with Mitch") Miller too much, it should be noted that Miller, as producer and A&R man, aggressively encouraged his roster at Columbia Records to record repetitive, simplistic, and, often soulless, novelty records in pursuit of the pop charts. Sinatra recorded, under duress, "Mama Will Bark", a duet (trio?) with Scandinavian actress Dagmar and a barking dog, and superlative jazz interpreter Rosemary Clooney recorded playwright William Saroyan and Ross (The Chipmunks) Bagdasarian's "Come-on-a-My House", a pop hit she despised. The gradual dumbing down of the American pop charts with novelties and watered-down versions of rhythm-and-blues and country records drew attention to the growing gulf between the worlds of pop and the semi-popular created by swing's mutation into bop.
From this void comes the popular explosion of rock and roll. Tennessee Ernie Ford's 1955 "Sixteen Tons" anticipated this explosion, with its catchy blues-based melody and crisp production, while Scottish Lonnie Donegan's fusion of traditional jazz and Lead Belly-inspired folk on his cover of the latter's "Rock Island Line" inspired the Beatles and their (English) generation to start playing rhythmic folk music.
Despite its continued overusage to signify the nineteen fifties, Bill Haley's "Rock Around the Clock" still sounds startlingly modern and exciting while less-well-remembered tracks like Roy Hall's original version of "Whole Lotta Shakin' Goin' On" (later, of course, covered by Jerry Lee Lewis) and Johnny Burnette's cataclysmic "Honey Hush" anticipated the loud and loose rock of the Yardbirds, the Kinks, and the Animals ten years later. Elvis Presley, still recognizable to nearly all Americans more than thirty years after his death by the two syllables Evv-Iss was, in addition to an overexposed icon, an affecting blues singer (as heard on "Reconsider Baby", backed by an all-star Nashville band including Hank Garland, Boots Randolph, and Floyd Cramer).
What is perhaps most striking about the major figures of the early period of rock and roll is their eccentricity; the press of the time perceived many of them as actually dangerous and much of the scholarship written about the era suggests that this fear is rooted in racism, trepidation at the undeniably black influences of the music. Racism certainly played some part in this trepidation, but it could be argued that a fear of the "Old Weird America" was also in play. In an era in which the Weavers became subject to blacklisting following the McCarthy witchhunts, the socialist and progressive histories of folk music, and the self-identification of r&b and country as the music of the rural, the uneducated, and the disenfranchised (both black and white), it's not difficult to see how Elvis's blatant sexuality, Jerry Lee Lewis's piano bashing, Chuck Berry's exuberant celebrations of teenage nirvana, and Little Richard's cross-racial-cross-sexual musical calls-to-arms would be seen as unnerving and, perhaps, threatening. This is not even to address more marginal figures like Esquerita, something of a more chaotic, more gender-bending version of Richard, or Hasil Adkins, with his overdriven, frantic odes to chickens and hot dogs, or Screamin' Jay Hawkins, whose stage coffin and snakes predate Alice Cooper by at least fifteen years and Ozzy Osbourne by still more. Uniquely American eccentricities reminiscent of the Harry Smith Anthology, heard in twenties recordings of Blind Willie Johnson and Jimmie Rodgers, Louis Armstrong and Bix Beiderbecke were making it, sometimes surreptitiously, onto the pop charts. And the guardians of American virtue were actually scared.
The eccentricity and the joyfulness of the music of the period harkens back to the music of the twenties; there is an unpretentious soulfulness to the best of it that prompted a revolution as r&b and country became, when cross-pollinated into rock and roll, the predominant musics of America. Frank Sinatra called the early rock and rollers "goons" and Nat King Cole sang "Mr. Cole Won't Rock & Roll", but the proverbial seeds had been proverbially sewn. As the unlamented Danny and the Juniors once said, roughly, "Rock and roll [was] here to stay."

"For me, jazz, R&B, jump swing, Chicago blues, country blues, early hillbilly music, and honky tonk all stem from the same source."
- Duke Robillard
Every ten to fifteen years in the rock era, there is a heavily-promoted and marketed "folk revival" and a new crop of acoustic-guitar wielding confessional or topical songwriters seems to magically appear as a reaction to "commercial" pop music. Similar, although less heavily-promoted, revivals of "old school" rhythm and blues or hip hop or of pre-free jazz or of "classic" country music appear and inevitably prompt the question, "What is being 'revived'?" and, more importantly, "Why is [insert "authentic" genre] in need of reviving?"
Some answers to these questions lie in the marketing and packaging of the non-swing / non-bop music of the forties and early fifties. As pop records began to, for the first time since the Depression, be a truly big business in the post-war environment that saw the introduction of the long-playing 33 1/3 album and the 45 rpm single, magnetic tape recording, and overdubbing, the recording industry began to change the way it labeled, promoted, and charted "non-pop" records. From this point onward, genre classification, always a point of contention for listeners (cf. the dispute over calling jazz of the teens and twenties "Dixieland" or "Traditional Jazz"), becomes much more difficult as generic lines are crossed and pop records freely mix old and new, black and white influences.
In 1948, Jerry Wexler coined the term rhythm and blues to describe what had previously been marketed and charted as race records. The term "Race records", which sounds as if it had been imposed by racist record marketers had actually been applied within the black community of the twenties when the term "the race" was used in the black press to suggest and instill black pride. Rhythm and blues replaced the limiting name with a descriptive one, in much the same way that several years earlier, country and western replaced hillbilly as the preferred generic term for rural white music.
While thousands of artists released r&b, blues, gospel, country and western, and folk records, the real money and the real sense of having arrived lay then, as now, with success on the Billboard pop charts, the stepping stone to success in films (and, later, on television), successful gigs at places like Carnegie Hall and the Copacabana, essentially, to success with affluent white audiences. Out of this model came twin notions, on their face opposed in their aims. One was the idea of 'crossing over' – moving from rural venues, the Chitlin Circuit, country dances to those larger, whiter concert halls and supper clubs – from the r&b or c&w charts to the pop charts, while the other was the notion of 'maintaining authenticity' – playing to smaller, more devoted, more knowledgeable audiences in order to maintain artistic integrity while forsaking big money and fame. This split was readily apparent in the constructed identity of bop musicians, whose music frequently was off-putting to casual listeners, but the oppositional identities constructed by the perception of popular success as either "crossing over" or "selling out" continues to lie at the heart of our perceptions of popular music, and to this notion of revivals and authenticity.
Adding to the constructed notion that pop success is the opposite of "the authentic", was the availability of archival recordings. Due to the technological innovations of the lp record and of magnetic tape recording (which meant easy duplication and re-release, at low cost, of earlier records), there were, for the first time, available on record "historic" performances. We take for granted the availability, in the digital age, of the entire canon of popular music: Louis Armstrong and Bukka White and Billie Holiday and Bing Crosby are just a click away, but popular music was, before the introduction of the lp, a largely disposable art form. The biggest hits and the best reviewed classical performances would be kept in–print or reissued, but most early jazz, blues, and country records were, by the late forties, rare or impossible to find. Harry Smith's Anthology of American Folk Music, released on lp in 1952, contained selections dubbed from Smith's personal collection of folk, blues, gospel, and country 78s originally issued between 1927 and 1932, and set the standard both for archival reissue of non-classical music and for this idea of an authenticity that has somehow been 'lost' and thus can be 'revived'. The Anthology would become necessary listening for musicians in the folk, blues, and country revivals throughout the rock era, and the idea that it reflected a purer, more real, more authentic vision of America than that found in commercially successful records continues to survive.
Harry Smith's anthologizing can be seen as an outgrowth of the populist, leftist folk-music of the thirties and forties. With a melody based on the Carter Family's "Little Darlin', Pal of Mine" and lyrics written as a response to Irving Berlin's "God Bless America", Woody Guthrie's "This Land Is Your Land" became the folk music anthem and exemplifies his status as "the father of us all" for countless American folk revivals. Big Bill Broonzy, Josh White, Cisco Houston, and the Weavers were all part of the circle of musicians with whom Guthrie associated. Socially-conscious and politically-oriented, they advanced the notion of folk (and blues) as "true" representations of American identity. Broonzy, who began recording in the twenties and performed at the legendary Spirituals to Swing Concert in 1939 (in the late Robert Johnson's stead) was perhaps the first blues performer to be "rediscovered" by white urban artists. The Weavers were certainly the first folkies to crossover to huge popular success, with their cover of Lead Belly's "Goodnight Irene". Omitting some of the more inflammatory lyrics (the line about morphine is gone) and softened by the strings and chorus of sometime-Sinatra-arranger Gordon Jenkins, "Goodnight Irene" became a #1 pop hit in 1950, billed initially to "Gordon Jenkins and his Orchestra with the Weavers" – surely a testament to the wary relationship between the pop record business and the Greenwich Village lefty folk scene.
While folk music was being ever-so-carefully packaged, country music was undergoing its own reinvention. Roy Acuff's 1935 recording of the country gospel song "The Great Speckled Bird" could easily be labeled "folk" or "gospel", but it was marketed as "hillbilly". What became known in the mid-forties as "country and western", was already a blurring of several genres as Al Dexter and Bob Wills injected swing elements (particulary horns) into bluegrass-derived chord progressions. An even more startling reinvention, though, was happening in the gospel genre (itself largely, then and now, a separate world from popular musics). Sam Cooke, as lead singer of The Soul Stirrers, and Mahalia Jackson, who would be signed to the industry giant Columbia Records in 1954, were producing rhythm and blues records in all but name: soulful singing over insistent blues-derived beats. Cooke would crossover singing pop songs; Jackson selling gospel records to non-gospel listeners, together paving the way for Aretha Franklin, Ray Charles, James Brown, and generations of gospel singers to make the transition to secular audiences.
This intensely transitional period also saw the perfecting of several other styles that strongly influenced what would become known as rock and roll. The fathers of Electric or Chicago blues, Muddy Waters and Howlin' Wolf – remain pervasive influences in blues-based rock (and the hard rock that grew out of it). By fusing loud electric guitar riffs, amplified harmonica, and a rhythm section of drums and elecric bass, with or without piano, they effectively invented the classic rock line-up. Elmore James and T-Bone Walker (as well as B.B. King and Buddy Guy) perfected the blues guitar-hero model, and the independent label Atlantic Records helped to foster a union of Louis Jordan-inspired jump blues (itself a fusion of blues and swing, heavily influenced by Cab Calloway), Chicago-styled blues, and gospel into a pop-directed r&b of the sort performed by LaVern Baker, Stick McGhee, and the Clovers. The desire to cross over to pop success and ready availability of countless pop, jazz, folk, r&b, c&w, and gospel records leads to a level of cross-pollination of styles unknown to American popular music thus far. And, of course, this leads to the birth of rock and roll.

The Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty went into effect in 1970 and requires the 189 Nations involved to review the Treaty every five years. This treaty represents the foundation to keep the spread of weapons of mass destruction from spreading to every nation on the globe. The next review is set for May, 2010 and faces a situation where it is believed that Iran has acquired nuclear capability despite its constant denial. Iran claims its work with nuclear material is for peaceful use, however, the government recently stated that it has every right to make WMD's if it so chooses.
In talks with France, Germany and Britain last year, Iran agreed to temporarily suspend it's enrichment program. The United States is not officially involved in the talks, preferring to make its thoughts and intentions known through the Europeans. Europe is working to make the suspension permanent in return for better trade deals. However, many NeoCons in the US are calling for preemptive strikes against America's former ally.
Most experts feel that the ongoing talks are a good sign despite the aggressive rhetoric coming from some unofficial circles. Some American policy wonks see Iran's stance as a bad sign, that Europe will never be able to give up enough to make Iran happy and permanently nuke free. So having the program temporarily suspended is as good as it gets for the rest of the world. Some question what it is that Iran is doing covertly while the talks are continuing. Others believe that the United States must get directly involved if the talks are to succeed. Many believe that the only way to achieve anything at all is for the US to agree to lift all economic, trade and political sanctions against Iran.
The Iranian nuke program started back in the time of the Shah fueled by gifts from its giant ally, the United States. The plan, at the time was to build 20 nuclear power reactors. Two plants were begun but ended up getting bombed by the Iraqis during the Iran-Iraq war. The nuke program was suspended in 1979 following the Iranian revolution. Present day Iranian plans call for the construction of 15 power plants and two research reactors. R&D efforts also took place during the time of the Shah with American blessings. Iran signed onto the Nuclear Proliferation Treaty in 1970 and since 1992 has allowed for inspections of its nuclear facilities. These days it is believed that Iran is using many facilities to enrich uranium and turn it into weapons grade material. They are using a number of sites to cut down detection or attack.
Most governmental experts do agree on one point and that is Iran's nuclear weapons and future ambitions will be number one on the agenda when all parties meet in New York later this year. Iran has already agreed to attend the convention review with many analysts saying this will lead to dramatic and heated debate. 180 countries are expected to be in attendance at the conference slated from May.

Model Fashion Week, producer of worldwide acknowledged style occasions, supplies top designers a world class platform to showcase their collections. Each year Fashion Vogue Week presents the season's should see shows, unforgettable performances and exclusive installations. Our expansive Fashion Market immerses guests in fashion as well as artwork and design. Industry and customers straight engage with manufacturers throughout the week. Depp is usually seen sporting these hats when out in public during interviews, award ceremonies, and through his non-public life when all of these the pesky paparazzi are peeping on him via the bushes, taking footage. Going by most of those images (thanks paparazzo!), when Depp wears his trilby's and fedoras it appears as if he's usually more inclined to put on hats with wider brims (suppose Indiana Jones) and simple, stable colours like blacks, browns, beiges, greys and (hardly ever) whites. The quality of the hats he is been seen to put on range from the pristine to ones so grungy that they appear to be they have been handed down by means of various generations of some very laborious working men.
As at all times, black and white fashions continue to defy time, and hold their nicely earned place as large color traits for spring and summer season. Black and white fashions stay the large winner on the runways this season, most vogue designers have added articles of clothes in tones of black and white. Many designers adding only a splash of colour to the black and white combination, pink being one of the widespread additions, in addition to cheery yellow. Let's face it you'll be able to't go flawed with the traditional traditional black and white outfit, and designers know this little fact, and proceed to money in on it.
It has been recommended — and I agree — that crucial thing about fashion for males past the age of fifty is high quality and neatness. That's to not say that it is advisable spend an entire paycheck on a rack of Italian silk ties, nevertheless it does imply finding a number of good ties and throwing down a couple of extra bucks for the quality. Generally, your finest policy is to purchase just a few very high-high quality gadgets and pair them in quite a lot of ways. It's at all times attainable, if you concentrate on it and, more importantly, care about it, to seek out methods to look better. We're not rich, but we're not quite as poor as we, perhaps, had been as young males. It is completely acceptable to spend somewhat additional to look our age.
These are all items that I do (or would) wear and you may mouse over every picture for the price. I am a bit obsessed with this hat proper now which is such a steal at under $38 and has received 5 star critiques on match and high quality and has a pair color choices. Though a number of items are offered out, I've made each effort to hyperlink to my favourite items here that are nicely stocked still and have multiple measurement options (most have every dimension available) and in some circumstances alternate color options so that you have a high likelihood of getting what you see. About that…in the event you see one thing you're keen on-get it! I debated on a couple items and subsequent thing I knew they had been bought out.
DW: I don't assume I own anything with that mentality. I do have an amazing relationship with DSquared2. I picked them they usually picked me, and it is all very genuine as a result of we all like one another. I'm going to decide DSquared2 out of my closet as a result of I like their jackets. White shirt, buttoned up, two or three undone, DSquared2 jacket or Neil Barrett, or then joggers, possibly shorts or denims. I've about 10 black jackets, and possibly eight of them are DSquared2, after which I feel like you need to have a whole lot of white shirts.

|From the course...
Tomorrow is the 3rd Geezer Ride to be held in Waterloo Iowa this time. The start is at 8:30am at the Gates Park Swimming Pool parking lot. See the finer details HERE.
I know of about seven folks that have let me know they are heading down/up/over for this ride, which means there are about seven more that will just show up, more than likely, as this has been the way it has gone in the past. That's fine, but my instincts tell me this will have a smaller turn out than the last ride which had 24 riders. Lots going on now so it is understandable.
I'm looking forward to riding with everyone and having a glorious day on the bike. The weather looks perfect and the roads...... Well, who knows! I am sure we'll have some fresh gravel to contend with, as this has been the norm all Summer here. It's okay, we aren't leaving anyone behind and we will be taking things slow and easy.
I might bust out my single speed for this one, but we'll see. It is that or my Raleigh Tamland, I think. There are always some interesting bikes on the Geezer Rides, so maybe I should follow suit and ride an "interesting" bike myself!
Stay tuned for a ride report......
|One of only two green XL Singular Gryphons in the US has been stolen
If you've been around cycling, particularly mountain biking, you may have heard of "Fixie Dave". He's a Trans Iowa Vet, Tour Divide finisher, and an all around good dude. Well, his rig got stolen....
That's not cool, and I wanted to put this out on this channel to help in some small way. This has been all over social media, but the more the word gets out, the better chances we have of recovering this bike for a good guy.
This is a 2nd Gen Singular Gryphon in the green color, very rare, and one of two XL's ever sold in the country. It's likely that the bike has been stripped down, so be aware that this might show up on some lists as a frame/fork. If it is intact, it is set up fixed, and has only a front Magura brake. The crank set is a Rotor crank, so be on the look out for that as a separate part as well.
Here's hoping this becomes a quick and speedy recovery.
|The new Fatback Rhino
Fatback has been around with fat bikes since, well.....I remember seeing one at Sea Otter in 2007. So, a long time in terms of fat bike companies, that's for sure. They can be attributed with innovating several ideas for fat bikes we all take for granted now. Being up in Alaska, they were right on the whole "expedition" fat bike thing from the start. However; the fat bike market has taken a left turn into trail riding territory, so many companies have altered their geometry, or of the were late comers, started out with straight up trail bike geometry and have left the expeditionary types out in the cold. (<===HA!)
Well, at any rate, Fatback has released two new designs, one in aluminum dubbed the Rhino and one in carbon dubbed the Skookum. Both feature shortened chain stays, slacker head angles, and are based upon the 190mm rear standard which they first developed.
The Skookum will be available as a frame, or in four different build options featuring different wheel sizes. It has stealth dropper post routing and features a through axle rear end.
The Rhino is available with a rigid, painted to match fork, or in other build options as well featuring multiple wheel sizes. The rhino differs from the Skookum in that it has rear sliding drop outs and can be set up as a single speed rig. It is conceived as a more affordable option to the Skookum and also has two color options available.
For more information see Fatback's website HERE.
That's a wrap! Better get out and ride those bicycles folks. Summer is on the wane and Fall is bearing down on us hard!

Tesla Motors is getting ready for the release of its much awaited Model 3, while people ask for the Tesla model 3 Price. The car maker looks like have built an image for the line with the Model S Sedan and Model X. Tesla Model 3 is set to be a beast as many people have already prebooked the car for themselves.
According to the recent reports, Tesla's CEO Elon Musk has stated that the Tesla Model 3 will run for approximately 215 miles on a single charge, which makes it one of the best in mileage in its class. Although it is slightly less that Tesla Model S, but still much better than Nissan Leaf running 155 miles in one charge.
In addition, Tesla Motors will have two variants for the Model 3. One will be a rear while drive; while the other variant will have a dual motor all wheel drive. It is the second variant that is expected to give the mileage of 215 miles in one charge. Tesla Model 3 Price is the next thing is question now. Reports confirm that the rear wheel drive will be cheaper by some amount. Some reports suggest that the Tesla Model 3 Price will be around $35000, but nothing is for sure still. Tesla Model 3 has been prebooked by approximately 400,000 people for $1440 already.
Some of the specifications came in light recently. One of it states that the base version of the Tesla Model 3 will reach 0 to 60 miles per hour in less than 3 seconds, which again puts it through to the list of super cars. The battery power of the vehicles seems to have eluded the light as no reports in that regard have been noted. Enthusiasts believe that Tesla Motors will reveal it officially in some time. Tesla Motor's Model Series have had success with the masses in the past and it looks like the Tesla Model 3 will be a hit as well.

Here is a life-changing truth just for you! You Are Significant Do you know this to be true? Jesus tells his disciples in John 8:32, "You shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." Do you see how your self-esteem could change radically just by accepting the love of Christ?"
I once suffered from low self-esteem. Growing up in a dysfunctional family I searched for love and acceptance in all the wrong places. Shame and condemnation were constant companions. Searching for self-worth is God-given, and therefore, only He could satisfy my heart. "Ultimately, the brokenness in my life became the key that unlocked the love I sought – the love of the Father."
I learned what the Bible said about my identity in Christ. God's amazing love overwhelmed me. As a daughter of the King, I am:
Redeemed – "Into Your hand, I commit my spirit; You have redeemed me, O Lord God of truth." Psalm 31:5
Accepted – "To the praise of the glory of His grace, by which He made us accepted in the Beloved." Ephesians 1:6
Adopted – "Having predestined us to adoption as sons by Jesus Christ to Himself, according to the good pleasure of His will." Ephesians 1:5
Chosen – "But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people, that you may proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light." 1 Peter 2:9
Loved – "For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life." John 3:16
Blessed – "Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ." Ephesians 1:3
Choose to believe God's word!
Thank you, Lord, for your love and grace.
Join the conversation – If you enjoyed this post, why not subscribe and recommend my site to other broken people! Check out my new website – I appreciate your comments.
Love and Blessings,

Almost every blog post could have that title around here I guess. So we did the Christmas thing and the New Year thing ( doing being a relative term of course).
|Dear fi, Copperpatch, me, Trash, Narioka , Binaca J makes stuff.
Dear fi, Copperpatch, me, TrashCan, Narioka , Bianca J makes stuff.
After the New Year extravanganza I caught up with some bloggers of old. I met all these awesome woman ( and many many more ) through this here blog. We had a great catchup and it made me think of the real life friends this blog has brought me and also all the very real internet friends who I may never get to meet. It is hard to blog, I feel like I am just repeating myself time and time again.... Look at me ! I made this ! And then I made this ! but I looked at last years dismal blogging effort and I think my blog deserves better so I have given myself a bit of a talking to and a kick in the proverbial clacker.
Let's just see how we go.

As I'm sure you can tell from this blog, this is my favorite time of year. I love everything from the falling leaves, lots of coffee, scarves, and pumpkins....I really love pumpkins. Over the years, I've visited the Historic Hudson Valley Blaze many times. Every year is somehow more magical, and this year will go down as one of my favorites as we got to be part of the jack o'lantern lighting team this past weekend. It was an honor to be a part of the lighting team and I am so grateful for the experience.
As expected, I took a lot of photos, so I will let them show you the story of our evening with the pumpkins.

Because of the limits on our time, I cannot offer for each of the principles I reported above an example of what is achieved by applying it. So, I have selected four that help us understand how applying the principles of LA yields what we will say or hear at Mass in the relatively near future.
To show that this second view is not held simply for the sake of picking a quarrel, I note that the renowned theologian, Yves Congar, can be brought to bear to support it. In his magisterial study on the Holy Spirit, he cites approvingly the work of another scholar who, he tells us, claims that the words of the liturgical formula et cum spiritu tuo
According to this understanding, et cum spiritu tuo is, then, a sort of epiclesis; by it the people are invoking the Holy Spirit upon their priest so that he may effectively accomplish his ministry as celebrant.
...do not simply mean: "And with you," which would be no more than an exchange of religious wishes helping to create the space of celebration. They mean more than this. The formula "The Lord is (be) with..." is frequently used in the Old Testament and is often concerned with an action that has to be done according to God's plan and is connected with the presence of the Spirit in the one who has to perform this action. In the New Testament and early Christianity, the Spirit is particularly active in prayer and the worshipping assembly. In the brief dialogue between the minister and the community recorded by Hippolytus (Apostolic Tradition, 4: 7; 22; 26), the presence of the Spirit has to be ensured so that the liturgical action can take place; hence, the words: "The Lord be with you," gifted as you are for that purpose with the charism of the Spirit. According to the Fathers, the necessary charism was conferred on the priest at ordination. Nothing, however, takes place automatically, and every spiritual activity requires an epiclesis.18

Prium® Oxy-Boost, oxy boosting solutions
In float melting tanks, a boosting of the batch-melting rate is required in two situations:
- A pull increase over the designed rate is required.
- The regenerator chambers in the batch zone have degraded or are clogged and the port 1 flame power is weakened or lost
In both situations, boosting, at zero port, with oxy-combustion flames is frequently applied. Typically, two pipe in pipe burners are installed in the peep-holes before the first port burner. With these zero port burners, additional energy is supplied to the batch melting. However the burner power is limited due to problems with central flame collision, carry over and hot spot risk on the entrance wall.
In order to overcome this power limitation, Linde/BOC developed crown oxy-burners with direct impingement on the batch surface (Convective Glass Melting CGM).
This technology was successfully implemented in many tanks but has again some drawbacks:
- The crown has to be drilled
- A large spacing between the flame is required
- High heat transfer rates are only achieved in the impact zones of the flames leaving stripes of weaker melting rate.
The oxygen burner: a proprietary process
Fives developed a proprietary technology in order to overcome these problems. The oxygen burner consists of numerous flames adding up to a flame curtain. The burner replaces, or is installed in parallel to, the entrance curtain . Tests have shown that a high heat transfer is achieved without carry over, batch segregation or evaporation effects.
Moreover, the new burner has the following advantages:
- Homogenous heating of the batch over the whole width
- Glazing of the batch surface thus reducing the carry over in the succeeding aero-combustion
- Increase of the surface emissivity of the batch blanket thus improving the heat transfer in the entrance zone of the furnace
- High heat transfer rates allowing a significant boosting of the batch melting on a limited furnace surface

we woke up early on friday, 1 May, coz we needed to be at the harbour before the crowd at the immigration. and moreover, we already bought the ticket, so we can not change the schedule. ( ̄︿ ̄)
arrived at the sheung wan MTR station, we rushed to find the ticket counter to change our e-ticket with the boarding pass. lucky we didn't have to queue at the ticket counter, we just need to scan our e-ticket at the machine and we can rushed inside to the boarding room. the ship arrived within 10 minutes, and we managed to get our seats based on our tickets. the journey took about 1 hour. (´。• ω •。`)
arrived at the Macao Ferry Terminal, we crossed the street and queue for the free shuttle bus to the Grand Lisboa Hotel. the queue was quite fast, because the shuttle bus pick us every 10 to 15 minutes. 。゚( ゚^∀^゚)゚。
from the Grand Lisboa Hotel, we walked to find Café e Nata Margaret's. they sell famous egg tart. but too bad the cafe was closed when we arrived there. probably because today was a labour day. so we continued to walk to the Central Post Office which located just next to the Senado Square. but the post office was closed as well. (メ`ロ´)
we took quite a lot of pictures and selfies at the Senado Square, and had our porky sandwich for lunch. we found a very cute hello kitty egg tart store along the way from the sandwich restaurant back to the square. (=^・ェ・^=)
our next stop was St. Dominic's Church. a little bit of history taken from wiki; the church was established in 1587 by three Spanish Dominican priests who arrived from Acapulco, Mexico. It was the scene of violence in 1644, when a Spanish officer—loyal to the King of Spain and opposing the colony's determination to stay allegiant with Portugal after the dissolution of the Iberian Union—entered the church in order to seek refuge from an angry mob. He was promptly murdered at the foot of the altar while mass was being celebrated. Sixty-three years later, in 1707, the Dominicans supported the Pope's stance with regards to the Chinese Rites controversy. This was in opposition and defiance to the view of the Bishop of Macau, who subsequently excommunicated them. When soldiers were sent to the church in order to uphold this ruling, the friars responded by closing the church for three days and throwing rocks to repel them.
The first Portuguese-language newspaper in China—A Abelha da China (The China Bee)—was published at St. Dominic's on September 12, 1822. The church closed down in 1834 when monastic orders were dissolved and expropriated to the government, who then converted it into barracks, a stable and an office for public works. However, it later reopened and was given many works of sacred art from other religious orders dissolved back in Portugal.
too bad this church has turned into tourism place, where all the tourist could enter the church freely and some of them has no respect to the church. (ノ_<。)
after some photos taken and a quick prayer, we continued walk to the Ruins of Saint Paul's Cathedral. about this ruins, wiki said; the church was built from 1602 to 1640 by the Jesuits, the collegiate was one of the largest Catholic churches in Asia at the time, and the royalty of Europe vied with each other to bestow upon the temple the best gifts.
The Ruins of St. Paul's refer to the façade of what was originally the Church of Mater Dei and the ruins of St. Paul's College, which stood adjacent to the Church, both destroyed by fire in 1835. As a whole, the old Church of Mater Dei, St. Paul's College and Mount Fortress were all Jesuit constructions and formed what can be perceived as the Macao's "acropolis".
we didn't manage to go behind the ruins as it was suuuper hot and humid. so we took refuge under the cool of the aircon at the forever21 nearby the ruins. (⌒▽⌒)☆
from the ruins, we decided to take taxi to go The Venetian. it was such a grande luxury resort hotel and casino. we walked along the man-made river and took a lot of pictures. as well as being stunned by the man-made blue sky above our heads. the casino was huge. but since none of us are good at betting our $$, we decided just walked around the casino and watched people play. ╰(*´︶`*)╯
it was already dark even though our–man made–sky was still blue. so we decided to had our dinner there. we don't have much choices, but we eventually stopped at another expensive western restaurant. the food wasn't great. but what surprised us was, we met Katy Perry at the same restaurant. she has concert within few hours, and her loyal fans were already waiting for her at the other wings of this huge resort hotel. my impression about katy was she looked as normal as a human. the one we usually look at the tv now seemed like another person. ヽ(o^―^o)ノ
my friend didn't want to take pictures with katy and so do i. even though all my friends said they would go for taking pic together with katy, but i don't think so. if i was katy, i would like to enjoy my dinner peacefully without any picture taken once in a while, enjoying the holiday before the tiring concert, wouldn't i?? anyway, i'm not a fans of her. especially after i heard about the hilltop convent in california. <( ̄ ﹌  ̄)>


text: We know almost for certain that the Model S will not support CHAdeMO if Tesla does not provide an adapter. There have been some rumors about it, but nothing concrete. At this point we have to assume that CHAdeMO charging will not be supported. In this thread: Ads which illustrate why I am so pissed about Tesla's marketing of the 160 it came up again and I felt it deserves a dedicated thread. With the Nissan Leaf quick/fast chargers started being installed on various locations. In Europe (NL, BE, DE, CH & UK) a lot of those chargers are being installed. Nissan recently announced that they will donate 400 50kW CHAdeMO chargers. In the Netherlands BP also announced that they are going to install CHAdeMO chargers along motor ways. This is mainland Europe only, but in the UK Nissan is also installing various CHAdeMO chargers. I also guess the same is happening in the USA (couldn't find a map of it..). No, these chargers won't be able to charge a Model S with a 85kWh battery within 45 min, but it's a LOT quicker than a 40A charge. (Which isn't possible in Europe). A the CHAdeMO chargers are being rolled out, one would assume Tesla would support CHAdeMO, but currently they are not. I'd like to discuss the likelihood of an adapter coming out for the Model S. The current guess is that the Model S will support the new SAE J1772 DC protocol which has a different signaling then CHAdeMO does. How hard will it be to produce such an adapter and would it be possible that a 3rd party company would bring out such an adapter? (Or even the 'community'?)

"Be always coming home"
Parenting is all about verbs; Loving and giving and helping and cheering and kissing and laughing and teaching; Praying and hoping and dreaming and driving and watching and crying and missing.
I read a lovely passage that sums up my deepest feelings just last night.
It is from the book Girl meets God by Lauren Winner. She quotes a poem by Ursela K. LeGuin from her novel Always Coming Home.
Winner writes;
"The poem instructed me to be both careful and fearless, to eat new foods and swim in new rivers. "Return with us, return to us,/be always coming home."
Our boy is on his way...he is well prepared; spiritually, mentally, emotionally and physically...he is blessed and he is on his way.
Let's get this show on the road!

Bundle home and auto to save
Bundle home and auto and save.
San Francisco, CA — May 25, 2007
Esurance, the direct-to-consumer personal auto insurance company, announced its latest environmental initiative. In Washington State, Esurance will make this weekend's Sasquatch! Music Festival carbon neutral. The festival will take place from May 26–27 at the Gorge Amphitheatre in George, Washington.

Concluded Swigart, "Esurance is committed to the well-being of our customers, our employees, and our communities. Protecting the environment has a direct impact on us all. We hope that carbon neutral events eventually become the norm, and we are very proud to play a part in this one."

Scripture: Mark 12:13-17
13 And they sent to him some of the Pharisees and some of the Herodians, to entrap him in his talk. 14 And they came and said to him, "Teacher, we know that you are true, and care for no man; for you do not regard the position of men, but truly teach the way of God. Is it lawful to pay taxes to Caesar, or not? 15 Should we pay them, or should we not?" But knowing their hypocrisy, he said to them, "Why put me to the test? Bring me a coin, and let me look at it." 16 And they brought one. And he said to them, "Whose likeness and inscription is this?" They said to him, "Caesar's." 17 Jesus said to them, "Render to Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and to God the things that are God's." And they were amazed at him.
Meditation: What do we owe God and what's our obligation
towards others? Paul the Apostle tells us that we must give each
what is their due (Romans 13:6-8). The Jewish authorities sought
to trap Jesus in a religious-state dispute over the issue of
taxes. The Jews resented their foreign rulers and despised paying
taxes to Caesar. They posed a dilemma to test Jesus to see if he
would make a statement they could use against him. If Jesus
answered that it was lawful to pay taxes to a pagan ruler, then he
would lose credibility with the Jewish populace who would regard
him as a coward and a friend of Caesar. If he said it was not
lawful, then the Pharisees would have grounds to report him to the
Roman authorities as a political trouble-maker and have him
Jesus avoided their trap by confronting them with the image of a coin. Coinage in the ancient world had significant political power. Rulers issued coins with their own image and inscription on them. In a certain sense the coin was regarded as the personal property of the ruler. Where the coin was valid the ruler held political sway over the people. Since the Jews used the Roman currency, Jesus explained that what belonged to Caesar must be given to Caesar.
We belong to God and not to ourselves
This story has another deeper meaning as well. We, too, have been stamped with God's image since we are created in his own likeness (Genesis 1:26-27). We rightfully belong, not to ourselves, but to God who created us and redeemed us in the precious blood of his Son, our Lord Jesus Christ (see 1 Corinthians 6:19-20). Paul the Apostle says that we are to present our bodies as a living sacrifice to God (Romans 12:1). Do you acknowledge that your life belongs to God and not to yourself? And do you give to God what rightfully belongs to Him?
"Lord, because you have made me, I owe you the whole of my love; because you have redeemed me, I owe you the whole of myself; because you have promised so much, I owe you all my being. Moreover, I owe you as much more love than myself as you are greater than I, for whom you gave yourself and to whom you promised yourself. I pray you, Lord, make me taste by love what I taste by knowledge; let me know by love what I know by understanding. I owe you more than my whole self, but I have no more, and by myself I cannot render the whole of it to you. Draw me to you, Lord, in the fullness of love. I am wholly yours by creation; make me all yours, too, in love." (prayer of Anselm, 1033-1109)
Psalm 90:1-4,14-16
1 Lord, you have been our dwelling in all generations.
2 Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever you had formed the earth and the world, from everlasting to everlasting you are God.
3 You turn man back to the dust, and say, "Turn back, O children of men!"
4 For a thousand years in your sight are but as yesterday when it is past, or as a watch in the night.
14 Satisfy us in the morning with your steadfast love, that we may rejoice and be glad all our days.
15 Make us glad as many days as you have afflicted us, and as many years as we have seen evil.
16 Let your work be manifest to your servants, and your glorious power to their children.
Daily Quote from the early church fathers: Put off the earthly image and put on the heavenly one, by Origen of Alexandria (185-254 AD)"Some people think that the Savior spoke on a single level when he said, 'Give to Caesar what belongs to Caesar' - that is, 'pay the tax that you owe.' Who among us disagrees about paying taxes to Caesar? The passage therefore has a mystical and secret meaning. There are two images in humanity. One he received from God when he was made, in the beginning, as Scripture says in the book of Genesis, 'according to the image and likeness of God' (Genesis 1:27). The other image is of the earth (1 Corinthians 15:49). Man received this second image later. He was expelled from Paradise because of disobedience and sin after the 'prince of this world' (John 12:31) had tempted him with his enticements. Just as the coin, or denarius, has an image of the emperor of this world, so he who does the works of 'the ruler of the darkness' (Ephesians 6:12) bears the image of him whose works he does. Jesus commanded that that image should be handed over and thrown away from our face. He wills us to take on that image, according to which we were made from the beginning, according to God's likeness. It then happens that we give 'to Caesar what belongs to Caesar, and to God what is God's.' Jesus said, 'Show me a coin.' For 'coin,' Matthew wrote 'denarius' ( Matthew 22:19). When Jesus had taken it, he said, 'Whose inscription does it have?' They answered and said, 'Caesar's.' And he said to them in turn, 'Give to Caesar what is Caesar's, and to God what is God's.'"

Looks like I'm getting more excited about 3D machinima than I first thought. I did some research this weekend and what I've found looks very interesting and promising.
At one point I decided to set my mark in the history of Machinima by being the first one to produce a 3D machinima film, but at the end found it much more interesting to share all the informations I'll find about 3D and setting up a workflow for a 3D machinima production. This is not a straight road, I'm sure there are some obstacles and for sure we have to make a lot of compromises to get an intersting 3D machinima movie done, distrubuted and loved. As always, the way is the goal. I hope some of you will join me on that journey. Stay tuned for more information.
As a start to get more knowledge about 3D filmmaking I've ordered this book:
"3D Movie Making: Stereoscopic Digital Cinema from Script to Screen" by Bernard Mendiburu;

I once had someone notice a slight difference in the way I wore my eyeliner. At the time, I was easily impressed and remember being a little fascinated. The sentiment in noticing such detail, (Because it really was just a slight difference) struck me as being intimately known.
It's quite silly looking back.
What's not silly, however, is our God-given desire to be known and loved.
Throughout scripture we see God's relentless pursuit to convince our hearts of His love and faithfulness. The story line is beautifully intriguing and we need help from the Spirit of God to get this wonderful truth.
We tend to be in constant need of rescuing and reminding.
I am not making a case we should settle for a life of always needing rescued and reminded, but what if we do?
What if our journey isn't an easily understood, crisp and clean witness? Are we disqualified?
I don't know about your journey but mine has involved multiple rescues and a continual need of reminders. I don't share that with a sense of pride or shame, just profound gratitude. The truth is, God's mercy is greater and deeper than our sin and multiple needs of rescues. This will no doubt confuse the pious.
I don't believe God wants us to always need rescuing or always need reminded, but His character is one of steadfast love and faithfulness. When He said He would be faithful to finish the work He started in us, He meant it. As that work progresses, we begin to believe He loves us and when we believe it at the core, by His grace, we spend more time helping in the rescue of others and less time needing rescued.
My last big rescue (There's a difference between big and little rescues) came with it a deep cry for a freedom I had yet to experience. With my eyes opened wide to the depths of my brokenness that couldn't be denied or hid, Jesus showed up with a smile. He was not smiling at the sin or the pain it caused, He was smiling at me. It was though He said, "Now you're ready."
My conversations with the Lord during this season shifted my theology. My previous rescues were clouded by untruths that kept me in a cycle of shame and despair. The concept of grace upon grace as a means to deny ungodliness had not yet seeped into my understanding of a God who delights in us, even in our messes.
"He brought me out into a broad place; He rescued me, because He delighted in me." Psalms 18:19
More than God noticing things like the difference in how we wear our eyeliner is His perfect understanding of our frame. He is "intimately acquainted with all our ways." He created us, knows us and loves us perfectly. He desires for us to know Him in all His glory and goodness is for our joy. When we see our Father rightly, we mature in love. We not only desire to please Him, we want to stay near Him. He is our Friend who sticks closer than a brother and should we need another rescue, He will reach out His strong right arm and do it again.
One of my fondest memories during this season of repentance and renewal is a moment when I was moved by this thought…"I will always love you and rescue you but how much pain do you want to cause?" Not only was God moving in close to heal my own pain, but He was deepening my sorrow of causing others pain. Apart from His grace abounding in these moments of awareness, it would have been too much. And when despair would come in like a tidal wave, He sent another more ferocious wave that spoke louder than my sin.
Timothy Keller best sums up what happened to me as I was plunged into a dark night, questioning everything I thought I ever knew:
"To be loved but not known is comforting but superficial. To be known and not loved is our greatest fear. But to be fully known and truly loved, is, well, a lot like being loved by God. It is what we need more than anything. It liberates us from pretense, humbles out of self-righteousness, and fortifies us for any difficulty life can throw at us."
I don't know what you believe to be true about our God who delights to rescue us but, I agree with A. W. Tozer… "What we believe about God is the most important thing about us." We are all on a journey of knowing God and being known by God and others. He doesn't miss one detail in our pilgrimage to become more like Him and He is fully committed to help us get there. It's in this place we can rest even as we pray and wait for our full redemption!

Whistle Blower Alleges Ambulance Partnership Shortchanged San Diego
A partnership created to provide emergency medical services to San Diego shortchanged the city by as much as $12 million, according to a whistle-blower lawsuit, the San Diego Union-Tribune reports.
In 1997, San Diego partnered with the private firm Rural/Metro to form an ambulance service called San Diego Medical Services Enterprise, or SDMS. The city and Rural/Metro planned to share costs and revenue in the public-private venture.
In August 2010, Robert Heffner -- who oversaw SDMS for Rural/Metro -- filed a whistle-blower lawsuit alleging that the company did not repay debt collection money owed to the city. A month later, the City Attorney's Office began investigating SDMS' finances.
A local judge had sealed the whistle-blower lawsuit until earlier this month.
Whistle Blower's Claims
In the lawsuit, Heffner claimed that Rural/Metro accumulated between $1.5 million and $2.5 million annually in debt collection revenue between 1997 and 2007, but kept those funds instead of splitting them evenly between the company and the city.
Dan Kalish, Heffner's attorney, said Heffner agreed to dismiss his lawsuit as the city works to resolve its financial issues with Rural/Metro.
As part of the deal to dismiss the lawsuit, Rural/Metro agreed to pay for forensic accounting of its finances over the past 13 years and put up a $7.5 million surety bond to secure any future claims by the city.
Auditor's Report
On Monday, City Auditor Eduardo Luna released an audit raising issues similar to those included in the whistle-blower lawsuit.
The audit found that the city had not maintained sufficient oversight of SDMS' finances. It also identified several improper financial practices used by Rural/Metro.
Rural/Metro Response
Officials at Rural/Metro said funds that the company used from SDMS went toward providing emergency services to the city.
Chris Kevane, attorney for the company, said Rural/Metro believes that San Diego received all of the revenue it was owed under the partnership and that a comprehensive investigation would find no wrongdoing (Gustafson, San Diego Union-Tribune, 4/25).This is part of the California Healthline Daily Edition, a summary of health policy coverage from major news organizations.

By Nutritionist, Samantha Gemmell
Antioxidants are sort of the bouncers of the body. When our bodies become inflamed or have too many toxic substances running around, bad guys called oxidants start damaging cells.
Antioxidants go after these oxidants and deactivate them before too much damage can be done.
Antioxidants also help in other essential body mechanisms such as detoxification and immunity.
Different types of antioxidants give food a different colour. That's why we've always been encouraged to 'eat the rainbow' of fruit and vegetables. Different coloured fruits and vegetables also have different types of vitamins and minerals as well, so it's a double-nutrition hit.
Red is always a good choice, especially when it comes to produce. Red fruits and vegetables are packed to the brim with lycopene, an antioxidant with many powers. Lycopene is protective of the heart and against cancer, particularly for male cancers.
Ready to get red? Look out for your red fruits strawberries, cherries, watermelon, red apples and raspberries. You have vegetable options such as tomato, red capsicum and radishes too.
Lycopene is also a unique antioxidant – it is more bio-available when cooked and consumed with fat. So make sure you enjoy your homemade pasta sauce with a sprinkle of good quality cheese or a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil for maximum impact.
Happy colours orange and yellow really do give you a better outlook on life! These brightly coloured options are full of carotenoids, antioxidants that can also convert to essential fat-soluble vitamins. These are particularly protective of your eye health, preventing age-related damage and deterioration.
Want to see more clearly? Your fruit options include lemon, pineapple, mango, oranges, peaches, nectarines and apricots. For vegetables, you're looking at pumpkin, sweet potato, squashes and corn.
You might think white means without colour, but it's certainly not without antioxidants. White or pale fruits and vegetables offer potent anti-microbial antioxidants. A common example is allicin, found in crushed garlic. White is the perfect colour for boosting your immune system.
Want to try the whiter side? Your 'white' fruits include bananas, white peaches, pears and dates. For vegetables, you're looking at garlic, potatoes, mushrooms, cauliflower and parsnips.
We all know that we need to eat more greens! But the reasons might not be quite as clear. Antioxidants that give a green hue are potent anti-cancer heroes.
Indoles found in cruciferous vegetables and carotenoids are two types of antioxidant that are being researched for their anti-cancer properties. In fact, they may one day offer a less toxic answer to chemotherapy.
Green vegetables also tend to be high in fibre and have plenty of folate. Folate is necessary for healthy development during pregnancy, heart health and brain health.
Need to stock up on green options? Pick up some green leafy vegetables such as kale, spinach and lettuce. Add in some broccoli, avocado, cucumber and celery. Remember your fruits as well – green apples, green grapes, kiwi fruit and limes all offer green goodness.
These fruits and vegetables offer more than just a pretty hue to your plate. They're also packed full of potent antioxidant antho-cyanin. This antioxidant can protect your cells from damage and inflammation, meaning a lower chance of cancer, heart disease and stroke.
Ready to get colourful? There's plenty of purple to choose from. For your fruits, look out for plums, purple grapes, blueberries and blackberries. If it's vegetables you need, you can choose from eggplant, purple/red cabbage and beetroot.
Brown might be your least favourite colour in clothes, but it should be your favourite for food! Brown is where you find our friend cacao on the antioxidant scale.
Cacao is packed full of a class of antioxidants called catechins. Catechins are generally found in cacao and teas, and are incredible for supporting a healthy heart and cardiovascular system.
So the next time you're looking for a health boost, try to look somewhere over the rainbow.
What is your favourite antioxidant colour combination?

Book of the Month
A reason to read..
The hot;y anticipated second novel from award winning author Jessie Burton.
The Muse by Jessie Burton
A picture hides a thousand words ...On a hot July day in 1967, Odelle Bastien climbs the stone steps of the Skelton gallery in London, knowing that her life is about to change forever. Having struggled to find her place in the city since she arrived from Trinidad five years ago, she has been offered a job as a typist under the tutelage of the glamorous and enigmatic Marjorie Quick. But though Quick takes Odelle into her confidence, and unlocks a potential she didn't know she had, she remains a mystery - no more so than when a lost masterpiece with a secret history is delivered to the gallery.
The truth about the painting lies in 1936 and a large house in rural Spain, where Olive Schloss, the daughter of a renowned art dealer, is harbouring ambitions of her own. Into this fragile paradise come artist and revolutionary Isaac Robles and his half-sister Teresa, who immediately insinuate themselves into the Schloss family, with explosive and devastating consequences ...Seductive, exhilarating and suspenseful, The Muse is an unforgettable novel about aspiration and identity, love and obsession, authenticity and deception - a masterpiece from the million-copy bestselling author of The Miniaturist.
