Vancouver Colour Consultant: How Light Affects Paint Colour | Maria Killam | True Colour Expert | Decorator. I am getting lots of questions about lighting and how it affects paint colour. I'm including this one to start off this post because it's even more complicated than the usual one I receive (and it's a great question, thanks!) 32source "Maria, do you know of a seminar that would delve into the more technical aspects of colour: how do certain chemicals affect the colour, how will this be reflected in light and environment; the different aspects of light and environment that affect colour, for example.
We’re really hoping to find a course more specific and technical – ie: to know WHY the colour reacts in different environments? " Before I distinguished the different undertones in complex neutrals I was obsessed with understanding how exposure, light bulbs, outdoor reflections like water bouncing off an ocean or lots of green trees would change the paint colour in a room to something that makes you want to run screaming in the opposite direction, or move house. 32source But I digress. 32source. Re-post: How I Plant a Tomato. Love Apple Farm's tomato plant sale will be held at 5311 Scotts Valley Drive in Scotts Valley (near Santa Cruz, CA) and will begin on Saturday, March 298, 2015 and continue EACH day until the end of May. How do we plant a tomato, you might ask? With a ridiculous amount of stuff in the hole, is the answer.
When someone ropes me into telling them and I start the long answer, I eventually see their eyes glaze over. That's the point where I say, "Then you throw in the kitchen sink and cover it all up. " To date, no one has laughed at that joke. I think they're just either too overwhelmed by the real stuff we put in there, or they actually believe we're throwing in a sink. This is how we plant a tomato. We started this beauty in our heated greenhouse in late January.
The tomatoes are placed three feet apart. We get them from the restaurant we grow for, Manresa. The next thing that goes into the hole are a couple of aspirin tablets and some crushed chicken egg shells. Good luck, folks! Java Vintage Bamboo 54-inch Length Shade.

Within the span of a few pages, you can go from shaking with excitement to bawling your eyes out to flying into a rage and throwing the book across the room.
It’s the hallmark of great writing, proof of mastery of the craft, and the yardstick by which aspiring writers measure their work. And it goes beyond storytelling. Sure, taking the reader on an emotional roller coaster ride is essential in novels and short stories, but what about emails, resumes, blog posts, proposals? They’re all designed to influence the reader in some way. Maybe you want to impress them, get them excited, make them cautious, get them angry, encourage them to keep going, or any number of emotions. So, you might wonder… how? The good news is it can be yours. How to Instantly Become a Better Writer It’s simple: Use power words.
Rather than describe what I mean, let’s deconstruct an example from the great Winston Churchill: Inspiring, right? Additive & subtractive color mixing. 2. The reflectance curve changes with the physical state of the colorant. A pigment such as quinacridone violet (PV19) does not have fixed, unchanging color attributes. The reflectance curve, and hence the apparent color under standard viewing conditions, changes with the physical state of the pigment — the pigment may be dry or wet, it may be suspended in water or oil, it may be diluted or concentrated, it may be displayed as a thin or thick layer (diagram, right).
In most colorants, each of these physical changes will alter the reflectance curve significantly. 3. Separate colorant reflectance curves do not specify the color of the physical colorant mixture. 4. Of all these issues, material metamerism (1) is probably the most troublesome. Even if we do know all the important physical attributes of the colorants we mix, the prediction of their subtractive mixture from their separate reflectance curves is mathematically complex.

I had to laugh out loud when I took this phone call the other day. A representative from a marketing agency in New York approached me about creating a guest post on my blog. Here is how it went: ME: So what is it exactly that your company does? HIM: We specialize in Social Media Marketing strategy. ME: Really. Well, that’s what I do too. HIM: I know. ME: Well, you’re actually my competitor, right? HIM: Yes, I suppose you could say that. ME: So let me get this straight … (laughing) You are my competitor and you’re asking me to allow you to come on to my website to promote your business and attract business away from me?
HIM: Well … Yes, that’s true. ME: Don’t you think that is a little crazy? Now, what may seem even crazier is that I’m going to encourage him do it. But the reason I wanted to tell this story is because if any “normal” business person really looked at the “best practices” on the social web, she would think we’re a bunch of blooming idiots! Last week a lady wrote “Dear Mr. A friend of mine recently posted a provocative question on Facebook. He had received less-than-stellar books to review from people he knew well. This was the dilemma he posted: “So if I’m honest, I look like an ass and alienate my friends but serve those looking to me for my opinion. Or do I put a pleasant spin on it and help perpetuate the noise but don’t upset anyone?
This is a complex and nuanced dilemma we all face at some point in our online career. What is the answer? You have to make your own decisions about this stuff, but here are some thoughts about being honest versus nice. “Authenticity” is bullsh*t Nobody is authentic on the web. Stop expecting people to be authentic and stop saying you’re authentic unless you’re posting that you’re bloated, horny, gassy, constipated, heart-broken, depressed, and congested.
I think it is more fair to expect people to be honest rather than authentic. Attack issues not people There is plenty to debate on the social web. Take it offline Be a light.
