A Fresh Prince of Bel-Air reboot may be in the works, but there's going to be one big change.
In the age of TV reboots, it's not a huge surprise to hear that The Fresh Prince could be making a comeback.
According to TMZ.com, the company that owns the rights to The Fresh Prince has been busy attempting to get a new trademark for The Fresh Princess for TV and other media platforms.
The controlling company is also seeking to trademark Fresh Princess merchandise, which suggests that it is planning to bring the show back with a girl on the throne. Should the business succeed in getting a trademark and a show, then there will be bags, clothes, and even pet collars for purchase.
This isn't the first time that someone has thought of a Fresh Prince reboot. An artist named Howard Russell posted concept art for a Fresh Prince cartoon on Instagram that took the Internet by storm.

Here is the alternate version with the first Aunt Viv that some wanted to see. As well as some character adjustments thanks to awesome feedback.

Dora and I are currently looking at trees in preparation for Earth Day and Arbor Day. As part of this study, we went to the nursery and bought an apple tree for Dora to plant. We have a very small yard, so it might seem a bit crazy for us to be planting an apple tree. A few years ago, however, I learned about dwarf fruit trees. Since then, I have vowed to eventually have a mini orchard in our yard. We currently have a peach tree, an apple tree, and a cherry tree. The cherry tree, however, is a sour cherry tree, which I did not realize when I bought it. I think I am going to get rid of it, as we just don't use sour cherries and don't have the extra space. In addition to dwarf fruit trees, we are once again trying to raise a vegetable garden. If you've been following my blog for a while, you might remember that I gave this up before, as we got rats from our rock wall, which abuts a city street. I have now learned some new techniques for preventing rats, so am giving this a go again. I also hope to start raising chickens in a couple of years. Eventually, I'd like to have an urban farm. I am a bit constrained by our homeowner's association and city ordinances, but as this recession continues year, after year, and people are becoming more and more eco-conscious, not to mention health-conscious, I have noticed that our city is letting up some on the rules regarding urban farming. In fact, they are in the process of creating a community garden, so if the rats return, at least we'll have that option!
Please note my left sidebar for all the awesome link-ups that I am participating in.

Currently I write on a kindle, my laptop having broken. So apologies if thisis more brisk than normal. But it did occur to me that the grouping of the nominated My Little Pony episode with Chuck Tingle's dinosaur porn is rather unfair.
The most justification I've seen anybody make for such a grouping is…actually, I've never seen anybody try to justify it. I guess because it's a children's show?
Of course, this ignores that "The Sword in the Stone", a non-puppy related work, is already a winner of the retro Hugo award…and is a children's book. It's absolutely insulting and unfair to group MLP with Chuck Tingle's parody erotica.

Would I buy again?
By Mountain Mama on Monday, March 20, 2017Yes, and in fact did! We loved my Cherokee so much that when my husbands car died, he bought a Cherokee, too! We live in a hilly area, get fair amount of snow, so 4WD is more than just nice, it can be essential for getting to work. This Cherokee is the most comfortable vehicle weve had, and we just love the bluetooth connectivity. The backup camera is so clear and easy to use. Do yourself a favor and take one for a test drive.

LOVE it!
By Gforce211 on Saturday, May 20, 2017I am leasing my 2016 Cherokee Trailhawk edition. I absolutely love this vehicle. This vehicle dominates snowy road conditions. Except for needing to re-lubricate the sunroof seal I have not had one single issue with this vehicle. I get compliments all the time on it. No regrets with this choice.

Love my Jeep Cherokee Sport
By Banker on Wednesday, August 30, 2017We got a great sale price on our 2017 Cherokee Sport. We love it! Quiet ride, adequate acceleration (hey, its a 4 cylinder), tremendous gas mileage, and nice features. Love the computer data options as it shows tire pressure, oil temp, coolant temp, etc. Took our first trip and got almost 30 MPG highway! Solid feel and build. Just very happy overall with our purchase.

I've been trying something new. 5 Element Acupuncture.
I've had loads of acupuncture in the past. I've always found it pretty relaxing and the sessions really stress relieving, but I wanted to try something new. I'm always on a quest to try and "fix" my infertility.
Luckily for me, the 5 element practitioner works in the building over the road from my office.
The major differences between 5 element and "normal" or traditional acupuncture is that moxa is used and the needles are inserted and then pulled out. And also, it does actually hurt! In fact, the practioner actually wants you to feel the needles going in!
At my first appointment, my practioner placed needles all up my spine, and viewed where the entry points were red. This was to indicate where I needed the needles to be inserted at the other points in my body.
Once that was done, Liz the acupunturist, used moxa on points on my chest, stomach and feet.
Moxa is Mugwort and is used to warm up the points in preparation for the needles to be inserted. The intention is to get the blood and the qi flowing.
It's pretty pungent stuff! I walk out of the treatment room smelling like I've been smoking a million fags!
I really do need to do more research on the benefits, but I love trying new things out and I'm enjoying the experience, even if it does hurt a fair amount!
I will certainly let you know how I get on! If you have any 5 element acupuncture stories, please share them with me!

Something for You to try in Your own life, in the amount that feels natural to You and makes Your life better via widening Your everyday life.
Saturday, May 30, 2015
Sometimes when you have a moment or two extra time and you spend it wandering and looking around, those moments feel like a richer time, rich with experience, multiple sensations and feelings. That is like meditation i.e. a way to happiness and skill. Those richer moments have something to do with it being just a few moments and not some long lasting labour. Something to do with it being like a twinding path from one experience to another, then to next ones and so on. A way to happier life if you can find it.

The focus-follows-mouse text boxes (rather than being able to click on them like every text-box ever) and the fact that you need to manually delete text like, "fill this in," are really stupid. The lack of copy-and-paste is a bit irritating, but that's made much worse by the fact that the font is pretty hard to read - 6s and 8s looking similar, especially. If there are hot-keys for the tools, the game doesn't mention them, which makes it all mouse-driven, but the bits you need to click on are all over the place - the confirmation box is miles away from the bit where you've just entered a criminal record, for example.
It really breaks the immersion in the game: you're supposed to believe that this person is an elite hacker that does this for a living, and yet they're using an environment that's so user-hostile.

Sometimes I think I should have called this blog 'Playing in our Pyjamas'…. because that seems to be exactly what we do a lot of around here. On this particular day Pebble was inspired by our trip to the local botanic garden on the weekend and asked to "make a rainbow lorikeet". We had seen lots of rainbow lorikeets on our walk and often see them around home too.
We started by looking at some close up photos of rainbow lorikeets on my old mate, Google. Then we raided the making cupboard and this is the plan that Pebble came up with: paper cups, feathers, glue, cardboard, a sharpie. Once we'd tipped out a pile of blocks and cars to distract The Destroyer (otherwise known as baby brother, Rocky), we were all set to get started.
TIP: Take my advice and use a disposable container for your craft glue. It's way easier for clean up at the end. I like to cut open a milk carton and use the base, but empty yoghurt pots or egg cartons work well too. Whatever you can raid from the recycle bin. We also use cotton buds as mini paint brushes for applying the glue. Once you're done it all goes in the bin and there's no worry about cleaning up containers or ruining your paint brushes.
Pebble stuck feathers all over the outside of her bird using the craft glue, then drew on a couple of eyes with a sharpie, cut out a little beak from some cardboard and stuck that down too. Craft complete! One bird ready for play. Of course I couldn't resist getting in on the action and making one of my own too.
Paper Cup Birds
You will need:
- Paper cups
- Craft feathers
- Craft glue
- Coloured cardboard or paper
- A sharpie
How to make a paper cup bird
- Stick the feathers to the outside of the paper cup using the craft glue. For maximum coverage you can overlap the feathers to make sure that the whole cup is covered.
- Draw eyes on the base of the cup.
- Cut a small diamond (or folded over triangle) from the cardboard and stick it onto the base of the cup to make a beak.
- Stick your hand in the cup and make your bird fly!
Has the local wildlife inspired any art or craft at your place lately?

When it comes to planning and designing your wedding, picking the colors and style should be the most fun, but can easily become overwhelming. There is so much information and ideas available to us now days via the internet, that after hours and hours of clicks and typing in keywords it becomes numbing!! Ive teamed up with Adorn Wedding Invitations to provide you with some assistance. Adorn works alongside some top wedding specialist's to produce ultimate bridal styling and color palettes for 2017.
A charming wedding embodying a romantic and feminine feel. Rich in pastel and a whimsical feel with touches of rose gold for that air of luxury and class. Your special day will set hearts aflutter as you embrace ethereal pale pink tones with a grey blue hue. The muted, dusky and chic tones will give you the chance to set the scene for the romantic affair you're envisioning.
For the invitations, choose something with magical and cursive calligraphy to truly draw your guests in. Your wedding stationary should be printed with rose gold foil features, lush floral or laser cut designs and blushing water colored invitations for a soft and subtle look.
We picture an outdoor garden party or a courtyard celebration and if you want to go with a theme, think of rustic or Boho. Welcome your guests with a timber welcome sign surrounded by draping green florals or a white board with pink flowers adorning the edges.
It's Springtime so it's the perfect chance to be outdoors and to really embrace nature. Treat your guests with a wedding swing draped in pink blooms and bursting green leaves, flower arches, wreathes, garlands, hanging flowers, lush bouquets, petals streaming down the aisle and romantic fairy lights hanging from the trees.
Seasonal blooms include peonies, hydrangeas, lilies, gardenia blooms, hellebores, hippeastrum, hyacinth, jasmine, lilac, lily of the valley, peonies, ranunculus, snowball vibernum and waratahs.
Consider a naked cake, even with an ombre design with added real life blooms for that extra touch of elegance. Keep your guests hydrated in this weather with a drink station of iced tea, lemonade and water. Bring in the pink desserts such as fairy floss, strawberry cupcakes, pink donuts and chocolate covered strawberries!
Cover the tables with white or blue linen and dress it with bright and blooming pink and white flowers and green branches and leaves. Think of clear or copper crystal tableware, white napkins, rose gold candleholders and for the real rustic feel, add some touches of timber to the place cards.
For wedding favors, consider gorgeous little pot plants accompanied with a loving sign such as "Let Love Grow." The baby pink and blue are really playful so get into the spirit with some DIY projects such as creating pastel colored mason jars to decorate the tables with.
For the bride, a strapless sweetheart gown will look magical when paired with silver accessories. Dress your bridesmaids in baby blue or blush gowns and have the groom and groomsmen in grey or cream beige tailored suits with a pink tie or a baby blue suit with a pink rose pinned to it.
Charming & Romantic
A charming wedding embodying a romantic and feminine feel. Rich in pastel and a whimsical feel with touches of rose gold for that air of luxury and class.
Shades of fresh, crisp green and stark white will surround your guests and a touch of gold or copper promise to stand out and make a statement. Picture a natural, organic and pure wedding theme that is romantic as it is earthy. Simplicity will be the key for your summertime wedding.
It's summer time so plan an outdoor, winery or rooftop wedding. Keep it simple, for the floral arrangements will truly do the talking. Announce your special day with a fresh and modest design. Go for a minimalist look with rose gold foiling, luscious floral accents and embossed features on crisp white paper.
Carry over that natural feel to the cake, go with a clean cut white cut and surround it with cascading sugar flowers or real life blooms! Your guests will need to be kept hydrated in the warm weather so get creative with mock tails and cocktails and even consider a make-your-own punch or mimosa bar.
Decorate the tables with white linen, fresh fruits and drool worthy cheese platters, little darling pot plans, fresh green blooms, clear crystal glassware, geometric caged vases with blooms bursting from within and copper wired chairs and touches of rose gold or copper tableware for a feminine and chic touch.
Bring out the rose-filled flower wall, you know you want to! If you don't want to go that excessive, choose a wedding love letter sign reading LOVE, MRS & MR or you and your partner's initials surrounded by flowers or a flower frame. This is the perfect season to go all out with creating a garden-like wonderland for your guests.
Make use of lush greenery and succulents and twined leaves paired with in-season pure white and light green amaranthus', cornflowers, dahlias, gloriosas, hydrangeas, lavender, lisianthus', peonies, orchids, proteas, stephanotis and zinneas.
For the bride, consider a French tulle dress or a sheer, light and lacy backless gown and nude or blush gowns for the bridesmaids. For makeup, don't forget that the lighter the better, strobing and highlighter is destined to be a major trend in 2017! For the groom and groomsmen, opt for a beige coloured suite or keep it smart casual with a white shirt and beige pants.
Earthy Romance
Shades of fresh, crisp green & stark white and hints of copper.

About a month ago, I was in the fascinating landscape of Cappadocia, Turkey. It's a beautiful landscape for sure, but I find it seems to want to be interpreted in black and white mostly.
Black & White is not a medium i'm particularly comfortable with. It's really very, very difficult to make good images, because it is even more about form and tone than Colour is.
I think Black & White is something where I have to be much more careful when isolating objects from others with similar tones. Any overlap and the eye compresses the two objects into one.
Black & White also demands a sense of everything having its own tone. The trees in these two images deliberately have the darkest tones in the image - because I really wish to bring the viewers eye to them. I do use these kinds of techniques all the time in my Colour work, but I have the liberty of being allowed a little more lee-way because of the extra dimension (read that as distraction) of Colour going on, as well as just form and tone.
I'm not done editing at the moment. I've only really just started work on these, so I think things will change and morph over the next few weeks while I scan and edit. It's a very enjoyable experience to work in Black & White and to notice that sometimes I think the edit is good only to realise a few hours later, that I'm only half-way there.

A prism breaks white sunlight up, spreading its component colors out into a spectrum of light visible to the human eye stretching from red through yellow, green and blue to violet. Scientists analyzing these colors find that they have a wave nature, and that one given wavelength of light is perceived as one color when viewed by a person. However, there are colors which do not occur in the spectrum, such as magenta. These colors can only be created when two different wavelengths hit the same spot on the retina at the same time. Without human perception there is no color magenta. Indeed, there is no white either. To understand the colors we must understand the human retina.
The retina of the human eye has three receptors for colored light: one type of receptor is most sensitive to red light, one to green light, and one to blue light. With these three color receptors we are able to perceive more than a million different shades of color.
When a red light, a blue light, and a green light are all shining on the screen, the screen looks white because these three colored lights stimulate all three color receptors on your retinas approximately equally, giving us the sensation of white.
With these three lights you can make shadows of seven different colors: blue, red, green, black, cyan (blue-green), magenta (a mixture of blue and red), and yellow (a mixture of red and green).
When red, R, green, G, and blue, B light shine onto the retina in roughly equal amounts, then humans perceive white, W. So we can say that W = R+G+B.
When red and green light shine on the screen, humans perceive yellow. So Y = R+G. Now yellow is also a color of the spectrum, which means that yellow is the color humans perceive when the retina is illuminated by a single wavelength of light. The single wavelength for yellow is between the wavelengths for red and green, and the yellow causes both the red and green cones to fire nerve impulses. The electrical signal sent to the brain when the eye is illuminated by one wavelength of yellow is similar to the signal sent to the brain by the combination of two wavelengths R+G.
Cyan, C, is a color of the spectrum. The wavelength of cyan light is midway between the wavelengths of blue and green. The crayon that used to be called blue-green is now called cyan, C. Cyan can also be created by adding blue light to green light. C = B+G.
When we mix blue and red light, our eye perceives the color magenta, M. Magenta is not a color of the spectrum: no single wavelength of light can produce the color sensation called magenta. M = R+B.

Sitting under a mango tree at ChildVoice's Lukome Center in northern Uganda, I listened to the stories told by ChildVoice counselors. One colleague told a sad war story which, much to my surprise, evoked many laughs. He must have noted my apparent confusion at the incongruous reaction and explained, "If we mourned all of those who died, we would die of sadness. Instead we laugh and tell their stories. This is how we honor them. It's how we survive."
This past weekend, nearly six years later, I had the honor of sharing some of those stories with a group of 40 people at a bookstore called The Potter's House in Washington, D.C. Many had not heard of ChildVoice before. As I read the stories from some of the young women as told in Enduring the Night: Courageous stories of survival by former girl soldiers, I was met with an interesting mix of reactions—some sad, some surprised, some angry, but all engaged and curious to learn more about these incredible survivors and the work of ChildVoice.
When I returned from my time in Uganda all those years ago, I struggled to put into words the stories I had heard, and to do so in a way that inspired others to action in support of the young women at the Lukome Center. Now, I no longer feel the need to do that because they speak for themselves through the pages of Enduring the Night. They bravely shared their stories with us and, in doing so, have inspired countless others to do the same.
Joni Eareckson Tada, Founder and CEO of Joni and Friends International Disability Center and friend of ChildVoice, said it best: "No matter what degree of suffering we may be experiencing, we can always learn the best lessons from those who endure the darkest of nights."
I definitely agree. I have learned so much from the incredible young women at ChildVoice about the resilience of the human spirit and the power of simple acts of love and forgiveness to overcome darkness. In times of fear and darkness, it is more important than ever that we get to know those around us, listen to their stories and tell them ours. In doing so, we can't help but be moved to compassion--and spurred on to take action.

Massachusetts rehabilitation counselors are licensed as Licensed Rehabilitation Counselors by the Board of Registration of Allied Mental Health and Human Service Professions. The license is granted on the basis of graduate education, examination, and supervised practice.
Select a Massachusetts Rehabilitation Counselor Topic:
- Education Requirements for those seeking Rehabilitation Counselor licensure
- Examination Requirements
- Supervision/Experience Requirements
- The License Application Process
- Other Licensing Options: Mental Health Counseling Licensure
- Contacts and Professional Organizations
Education Requirements for those seeking Rehabilitation Counselor Licensure
A prospective rehabilitation counselor must earn a master's or doctoral degree in rehabilitation counseling or a related field. The Board considers counselor education and psychology to be related fields. An education degree could be accepted if the concentration was in counseling or psychology. Other degrees may, at Board discretion, be determined related. The program from a recognized institution: that is, one that is state licensed and meets national standards.
The program is to be at least 48 semester hours and is to include an internship as well as coursework in each of the following content areas:
- Medical aspects of disability
- Vocational evaluation and assessment
- Job placement and development/ transferable skill development
- Vocational and affective counseling
- Development of rehabilitation plans
Students are allowed to make up some coursework outside the degree. The Board may accept internship completed post-degree. The experience must, however, be part of a clearly defined program. Written evaluations must be in accordance with Board rule.
Examination Requirements
The required examination is the Certified Rehabilitation Counselor Examination offered by the Commission on Rehabilitation Counselor Certification (CRCC). This exam is typically taken as part of a certification process. After establishing eligibility, paying fees, and passing the examination, a candidate can become a Certified Rehabilitation Counselor, or CRC. Students who are enrolled in programs accredited by the Commission on Rehabilitation Education (CORE) may take it before graduation. Students who enroll in rehabilitation counseling programs that are not CORE-accredited will be eligible after one to two years of work experience. If the student had a 600 hour internship that was supervised by a CRC, the work experience requirement may be met in 12 months. Students who complete programs in other counseling disciplines have a variable experience requirement.
The CRC examination is administered three times a year. Materials must be submitted more than four months in advance. Application can be made online (http://www.crccertification.com/pages/forms___fees/70.php). Once approved, the candidate can schedule at his or her choice of more than 300 Prometric assessment centers (https://www.prometric.com/en-us/clients/crcc/Pages/landing.aspx).
The Massachusetts Board does not mandate that rehabilitation counselors are certified, merely that they have passed the exam.
CRCC can be reached at 847-944-1325. Questions about the examination/ certification process can be sent by email contact form (http://www.crccertification.com/pages/contact_us/4.php).
Supervision/Experience Requirements
The prospective licensee will need to work under supervision for the equivalent of two full-time years. The Board considers 35 hours a week full-time; 48 such weeks can be credited as a year. The requirement may be reduced by an amount equal to one-half the internship hours accrued in a qualifying 48 semester hour program.
Experience can be accepted if performed under the supervision of an approved supervisor or in a clinic or hospital that is accredited by the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Hospitals, licensed by the Department of Mental Health, or considered equivalent.
The trainee will need 200hours of supervision. At least 100 must be individual. At the time of application, the supervisor will supply verification. The form asks the professional who provided supervision to confirm the belief that he or she meets the definition of an approved supervisor.
An approved supervisor may be a CRC or a licensed rehabilitation counselor. Other professionals may be approved if they have five years of experience in rehabilitation counseling. The professional may have a master's degree in rehabilitation counseling or a qualifying related field. He or she may have training at the doctoral level as a psychologist or psychiatrist. Supervisor requirements are describe in Board rules and regulations (http://www.mass.gov/ocabr/licensee/dpl-boards/mh/regulations/rules-and-regs/262-cmr-400.html).
The Application Process
Application materials can be downloaded from the website of the Board of Registration of Allied Mental Health and Human Service Professions (http://www.mass.gov/ocabr/licensee/dpl-boards/mh/forms/).
Individuals are asked to obtain a copy of the relevant state code (262 CMR) before application. The code is available online (http://www.mass.gov/ocabr/licensee/dpl-boards/mh/regulations/rules-and-regs/). An applicant may also call (617) 727-2834 to receive a copy.
Graduate transcripts should be included in sealed envelopes.
Internship and post-degree supervised practice are to be documented by the approved supervisor.
The application packet also includes reference forms; these should be completed by the most recent supervisors. The Board requires at least two references.
The Board will accept an examination score report or current CRCC membership certificate as evidence that the examination requirement has been met.
The application fee is $117; a separate licensing fee will be assessed later.
The applicant will attach a small photograph to the application form.
Applicants who answer "yes" to questions about adverse legal or professional history are directed to attach explanation.
The applicant will need to sign a consent form for a Criminal Offender Record Information (CORI) check.
Identity must be verified. If the applicant hand delivers his or her application, a Division of Professional Licensure (DPL) employee can verify identity. Otherwise, a notary may verify identity.
Out-of-state licensees are to provide official license verification. (This is the case even if the license was issued in another profession.)
An applicant who submits an incomplete application package will be granted six months to provide documentation that all requirements have been met.
Other Licensing Options: Mental Health Counseling Licensure
An individual whose educational background is in rehabilitation counseling is also eligible for mental health counseling licensure, provided additional requirements are met; rehabilitation counseling is accepted as a related degree (http://www.mass.gov/ocabr/licensee/dpl-boards/mh/regulations/rules-and-regs/262-cmr-200.html). A prospective LMHC will need at least 60 total semester hours of qualifying education. There are additional coursework requirements (for example, psychopathology). The prospective LMHC will need to take the National Clinical Mental Health Counseling Examination (NCMHCE). Total experience requirements are comparable, but there are a number of differences in mandates. The LMHC credential will, for example, need some supervision by an LMHC.
Additional Information
Licensing information is available from the Massachusetts Board of Registration of Allied Mental Health and Human Service Professions (http://www.mass.gov/ocabr/licensee/dpl-boards/mh). The Board can be reached at 617-727-3080.
The International Association of Rehabilitation Professionals-New England is an additional professional resource (https://connect.rehabpro.org/newengland/home).

This guest post is by Enzo F. Cesario of Brandsplat.
Will someone please tell me what "hip" means? Does it mean "popular?" Is it what the kids are doing today? Well, just who are the kids? Do you mean teenagers? Early 20s? Hipsters? No, not hipsters … we've heard enough from them.
The same goes for words like edgy, trendy, hot, clever—managers seem to use these words all the time, and yet when pressed for an answer can't seem to provide any input for what they're going on about. It's about as helpful as saying, "Make this product a bestseller," but answering "How?" with an, "Oh, you know…"
A lot of people wanting to make a good blog ask these kinds of questions, though. "How do I make it hip? How do I make it really pop?"
Far from being a problem merely of unimaginative employees, vague guidelines do represent an obvious problem in the greater blogging world. The problem comes up from two separate directions: The first is not knowing how things work, and the second is not being willing to admit you don't know how things work.
The first problem lies in the nature of modern branding and advertising itself. A blog is very much about creating a brand image—specifically, branding yourself and the way you have with words.
The sad, cold, utterly frightening fact of the matter is that there is no formula. There is no silver bullet, no magical way to do things that will result in viral success, online or off. This is because people are inconsistent, confusing, unusual creatures with the ability to change their minds about things. Sometimes people will respond to a well-done light show, other times they want to see an angry rant, and still other times they grow inordinately fond of a man in a towel parading through a Magic Realism sequence of events.
The second matter is a bit of necessary misdirection: there are things people can do to make branding work. There are rules for how pictures should be composed, the ratio of text to images and other sorts of guidelines that can make something work and another something not. But none of this is that fabled silver bullet that will guarantee branding success—everything that's done in the field of branding is an attempt.
Take two examples from the same company, Apple. The first is the company's classic, "I use a Mac" series, and the second is its "I'm a Mac, and I'm a PC" promotion.
The "I use a Mac" series didn't take off quite as well as the Mac/PC series, and there's no hard and fast reason why. Some opined that the ads were just too bland, others thought they represented a kind of snobby elitisim.
On the other hand, the fame of the Mac/PC ads is very well-established. They connected with people for some reason. Opinions, again, vary as to why—some thought it was the clever banter, others point to the fact that making the machines into people allowed viewers to connect more. Whatever the reason, the "I use a Mac" ads are forgotten, while the Mac/PC format is still being copied by such luminaries as Sprint.
Yet when examined visually, the two ads are almost indistinguishable. Both show people against white backgrounds, talking. What the heck made one work, and one not—especially given that no one can seem to agree as to the reasons why folks seemed to go for one or the other?
There are answers, but there is no one answer.
Here's my personal take on these two ads: I think it was because Apple embraced its market more in producing the latter format. With the "I use a Mac" format, they were trying to target a new market—people who use Macs were talking to people who don't. It's hard to bring in new clients; most business comes from repeat customers. Further, it's word of mouth from existing clients that tends to bring in new people rather than advertising.
So with the second set of ads, Apple targeted its own audience with arguments that were familiar to them: Macs work, PCs don't. This made them more satisfied with their purchases and more likely to use their purchasing power, as well as trying to bring their friends and families into the fold. Again, this isn't the definitive answer, but it is one that makes as much sense as any of the others.
So, how exactly does this translate to you? How do you make something hip and edgy and all those other fun, potentially meaningless words?
First, know your product. When you're writing a blog, you are selling yourself and your writing. Before you do anything else, you need to know what niche you and your blog fill. Mac hit on this with the "Macs just work" argument that served the company so well. Be familiar with what you want to discuss and the way you intend to discuss it before you get started.
Second, know your market. You can have the best hair restoration product in the world, but marketing it to the Hair Metal glam rock set is probably not going to work out so well. Figure out who your audience is and what they like.
This is where the social side of blogging comes in. Take a few minutes and actually talk to people, socialize, discuss, laugh, tell jokes, be the butt of a joke. Do something to connect with people and have a discussion. Demographic research is great—but someone else can do that part. You should go talk to someone and get a feel for what their mood is.
Between these two elements, you will be able to come to a more honest vision of what they want, put out a blog that's both entertaining and genuine, and "hip" can remain a description of a body part, rather than a meaningless adjective.

Farewell, John Entwistle. Another great musician passes. I'm listening to Sparks right now on Radio Paradise.
Thursday, June 27, 2002
This Washington Post article details some of the increased probing activity that seems to be going on in cyberspace by possible cyber-terrorists. It also discusses some scenarios for combined cyber and convetional acts of terrorism. Pretty scary stuff. I started thinking that the other side is not vunerable in this way since groups like Al Qaeda seem to work in stealthy distributed groups using technology on a small scale for communications. I figured they had no big information infrastructure that was subject to cyber counter attack. But I think there are a few ways for the US to fight these groups in cyberspace. Propaganda and misinformation seem like a reasonable tool. Hijacking Al Jazeera's site or signals seems like a reasonable place to start. Probably the biggest theater in cyberspace that could hurt groups like Al Qaeda is in banking, credit card, and other money transfer systems. Freezing the assets, on the fly, of know supporting groups and individuals would seem to be very effective at helping to track these guys down and possibly disrupt their activities. I'm not sure why I'm talking about this stuff. I don't want more violence on top of violence. I think the best way to resolve the current world crisis is through diplomacy and understanding but sometimes I get tired of hearing of impending attacks, threat levels, and all of the new fun additions to our vocabulary. Sometimes I secretly yearn for the big break through. Osama's head on a pike. Peace in Israel/Palestine. World wide religious tolerance. The end of fanatisism. Mr. Fusion. Then there are times where I'm just wondering if this all could be solved by a few well placed ICMBs. It's tough being human.

The Dream It's hot, dry and extremely dusty outside. The colors around me are all in sepia tones. I'm sweating because I'm cutting back some stubborn bushes away from a row of stucco bungalows. They are the appartments from Mulholland Drive. I'm alone. Aunt Ruth is nowhere to be found. Suddenly, in my peripheral vision, I spot a VW Bus driving down the street which is not paved. I guess the driver is drunk or high because the bus is speeding along, swerving, bouncing, hitting potholes, trailing a plume of arid dirt. It's tires grind the gravel in the road with a deep throaty crunching sound as it comes to a stop behind me. I turn. The motor cuts out and the driver side door swings open. Ken Kesey steps out crosses the road and walks right up to me. I'm in shock. I hail him. "Hey.", I say. "Don't worry.", he replies. "About what?", I ask. "About Dave, Dave Winer.", he says impatiently. "Oh...Thanks...That's a relief.", I sputter. Kesey interrupts. "He's going to be fine. You guys won't loose him now, but you understand how these things work...", his voice trails off. "Yeah. I get it.", I smile. Shit I'm talking to Ken Kesey. He notices me smiling and recognizes what's going on in my head. The awe, the admiration is beginning to show on my stupid mug. He extends his hand. I reach out with mine and we shake hands. His grip is like iron. "Ok, See ya later.", he says. "And don't worry." "Ok.....Wait!" But it's too late the bus is fired up and the tires are spinning kicking up gravel as the bus disappears down the road in a cloud of dust. Feel better Dave.

Italians Go Home I'm finally getting over the fact that Italy has been eliminated from the World Cup. So I guess I'll be rooting for the US now. Their big match comes on Friday when they face off against Germany. I'm hopeful but it's going to be a tough game for the US, but then again this has been a whacky tournament with so many traditional football powers getting knocked out early. I know it bothers some fans but at least it keeps things interesting and it reflects the true "world" nature of this tournament. So it looks like I'll be putting away my azure jersey and don myself in the stars and stripes. U-S-A, U-S-A!

Mexican Stand-off My worst World Cup fears are over. Italy-Mexico ends in a 1-1 draw, and Equador-Croatia ended in a 1-0 victory for the South Americans. So it looks like Italy will advance to the second round of the world cup. Viva Italia!

Getting the Benz Congratulations to Mercedes-Benz for sounding off like they have a pair and driving their fuel-cell powered car cross-country from San Fransisco to Washington, D.C. This event goes a long way in proving the long term viability of fuel-cell powered vehicles and gives me a glimmer of hope that we might one day cast off the shackels of our oil dependancy, foreign and domestic. Even though we probably could have done this in the 1970's it still is good to see this happen. Of course leave it to a non-U.S. auto maker to take the lead here. Yes, officially it's a multi-national with some U.S. ownership but what about GM and Ford? Where are they? Lobbying congress to drill in the ANWAR so they can build more Suburbans and Navigators?

text: Tim Worstall 28 March 2009 Regulation & Industry Those shock GDP numbers Tim Worstall 28 March 2009 Regulation & Industry 3201 those-shock-gdp-numbers No, I'm not about to start saying that everything is just peachy, even I'm not that optimistic. But can we at least have a little bit of proportion here? Economists were expecting GDP to have contracted by 1.5pc in the final quarter of last year – in line with the preliminary estimate – but the Office of National Statistics had to revise the figure downwards to 1.6pc. It is the biggest quarterly fall in GDP since 1980 and the biggest annual fall since the last recession in 1991. That proportion being that the economy has indeed just shrunk. All the way back to the size it was in, ooh, say, March or April of last year. Yes, it might indeed get worse again as well but there's just about no one who thinks that it's going to shrink as far as, say, the level of 1999. If it did that would be a Great Depression sized fall and there are very very few who are predicting that. As I say, I'm not trying to insist that everything's just fine, nor that a lot of people are going to actively enjoy the downturn. But I would like a little more proportion. The one defining characteristic of this liberal capitalism shtick is that it delivers, consistently, over time and for the average person, a rise in the general standard of living. The other name for this is economic growth. As the major report on climate change notes: The global economy expands at an average annual rate of about 3% to 2100, reaching around US$550 trillion (all dollar amounts herein are expressed in 1990 dollars, unless stated otherwise). This is approximately the same as average global growth since 1850, although the conditions that lead to this global growth in productivity and per capita incomes in the scenario are unparalleled in history. We think that trend growth, the possible or even likely long term growth rate, for the UK is 2.5% to 3%. A 1.6% fall in GDP is thus we've lost that year's growth and retreated 8 months. This isn't, I'd like to posit, the disaster that most seem to be saying that this is. It certainly isn't enough of a disaster for us to throw out that only economic system ever uncovered that provides that 3% growth over the long term. So before we decide that capitalism is dead and we're off to bury it in regulation and stagnation, could we just make sure that we really do want to stop the occasional hiccup at the cost of never again having that 3% growth? Oh, and yes, you do know that that 3% average growth over the century includes the falls at times like the Depression? That this is the growth rate after the hiccups?

When I was a child, I used to collect the Michelin 'I-spy' books. These were little pocket guides to various aspects of the natural world – birds, flowers, rock formations – that gave detailed and illustrated overviews of the various things you might encounter within these genres, and a handy checklist for you to tick off whenever you'd seen one. While the guide to exotic frogs remained largely unticked during family holidays to rainy National Trust properties throughout the UK, I had largely more success ticking off fossils, plant and bird life, getting incredibly excited when I encountered a new bird species or tree that I could proudly tick off as 'done'. It's a habit I've retained in adulthood with countries of the world, although unfortunately this is a far more expensive hobby than ticking off different types of fern.
I've been thinking about this recently, because it struck me that one could so easily write a handy checklist on the theme of the 'British summer'. You get the idea: a useful collection of components that, combined, constitute this most elusive and sought-after of times, and that you can tick off as the mercury starts to rise from June to September. Spotted a hailstorm or flash flood in May? Summer is nearly here! Being forced to eat warm, squashed strawberries from the punnet at every impromptu 'picnic' in June? Definitely getting tropical. Pasty flesh gratuitously on display in the park in July? It must be a scorcher.
Such a checklist should comprise all of the following:
- Barbecue implements moved to the front aisles of the supermarket
- Signs up on the tube advising people to carry a bottle of water
- Gooseberries, blackcurrants and redcurrants on sale at the supermarket
- The Great British Bake Off on television
- Topless men parading their scarlet sun-scorched flesh around
- Rain
- Goosepimpled flesh on those who brave the unpredictable climes in a maxidress
- A direct positive correlation between the ambient temperature and how many sausages and beefburgers the shops have sold out of
- Rain
- Someone bemoaning that the countdown to Christmas has begun
- People with their legs out who really shouldn't have their legs out.
- Ditto feet.
- Wimbledon
- Strange new fashion trends
- Rain
- The word 'heatwave' in newspaper headlines
And, finally: the all-pervading presence at parties of a certain British gin-based cocktail involving lemonade, mint, cucumber and a variety of fruits, often served far too sweet and lukewarm in plastic cups with an unappetizing brown froth coagulating on the top.
I'm sure I'm not the only one who has an aversion to this oh-so-British summer beverage of choice. I find it far too sweet and sickly, and am not a huge fan of putting mushy fruit in the bottom of my cup whatever I'm drinking. Summer, for me, means either gin and tonics (pure and simple), or a gorgeous chilled glass of white wine. White wine makes far more sense in summer, I think, than sickly cocktails: its crisp dryness is a beautiful foil for all those rich, vibrant dishes we like to whip up on the barbecue as soon as the sun comes out. For me, the sight of a glass of pale gold wine, condensation beading on the outside, and the thought of what crisp, dry, refreshing pleasures lie within, can't really be beaten.
With that in mind, I was thrilled to be asked to take part in the
Chablis Blogger Challenge for 2014
, tasked to design recipes that would work perfectly with a glass of Chablis for the summer months. My mission here: to convert advocates of sickly-sweet summer cocktails to the much more subtle and sophisticated delights of a crisp glass of Chablis. With this in mind, I've designed a three-course summer menu based around all the elements you'd find in our classic British summer cocktail: mint, cucumber, strawberries, apple, lemon, orange and gin. Instead of being left to stagnate tragically in their brown sugary bath, though, these ingredients are treated with love and care, used to enhance a range of light, fresh, zesty summer dishes that are perfect for both indoor and al fresco eating, and all work beautifully with Chablis wine. No soggy cucumber slices or flaccid mint leaves here.
The two wines in question are the Domaine Servin 2012 and the Pascal Bouchard 2012. Both are classic examples of Chablis, with the characteristic flinty finish and refreshing crisp dryness. I found the Bouchard slightly lighter and sweeter, with subtle lemon and floral notes, while the Servin was crisper with more of a citrus tang and slightly more body to it. Chablis is an excellent all-round white for pairing with food – it's fairly light and fresh, so won't overpower your dishes. It's particularly good with light cheeses, seafood and white meats, although you can basically drink it with anything – I was lucky enough to spend a couple of days in Chablis a few years ago, touring the vineyards and eating some of the fabulous local food, and I can confirm that I tasted nothing which wouldn't be washed down well by a glass of the stuff.*
*Apart from andouillette, which is a sausage made from the colon of a pig and tastes like a sausage made from the colon of a pig. Sorry, die-hard aficionados of local cuisine…this is the only thing I've ever had to spit out while eating.
To start, then: oranges are the star. Not a slice suspended in a drink, but the fragrant zest grated in soft, aromatic curls into a pan of melted butter, then used to baste plump, sweet scallops. The scallops are caramelized and burnished on each side, juicy and tender in the centre, and cosseted with luscious orange-infused butter and a hint of coriander. You should never do very much to a scallop in the kitchen: they're best simply pan-fried in butter, but here the orange provides a delicate, fragrant lift that works beautifully with their subtle sweet flesh.
Normally I'd recommend a particular wine to match each dish, but both Chablis wines worked equally well with this lovely summer starter. It's quite rich, given the butter and the meaty scallops, so you need the flinty, mineral finish of Chablis to cut through all that, and both wines perform the job very well. This is just such a gorgeous dish to serve at an al fresco dinner party: it's elegant, almost no work at all, and an absolute pleasure to eat. If you're feeling rich, buy more scallops and have it as a main course with a side salad and some good bread to mop up the buttery juices.
Next, we rescue cucumber, apple and mint and turn them into a crunchy, zingy summer salad with some finely shredded fennel, a dollop of tangy mustard and a spritz of lemon juice. Good on its own or with any rich ingredient – most meats, fish and cheeses (a bit like Chablis in that respect!) – this here is a wildly successful partner to the most beautiful, succulent fillet of salmon you'll ever eat in your life. It's marinated in maple syrup and dark soy sauce, seared to crisp it up, then baked in the oven in this luscious, sticky mixture. The caramel notes of the glaze and its colour remind me of the syrupy-sweetness of the cocktail I'm trying to deconstruct, but infinitely better. Salmon is quite an oily, buttery, rich fish, and combined with the maple and soy glaze you have something that is almost butterscotch-scented, but in a deeply moreish savoury way – it's not too sweet, just addictive enough. You'll want to mop up every last drop of that glaze with the crisp salad: the tangy sweetness of the apple, mild crunch of cucumber and freshness of mint are a perfect counterpoint to all that treacly maple flavour.
Although the salad cuts through that unctuous salmon nicely, the crisp bite of Chablis lifts everything and turns this into a real treat dish. Again, both wines would work very well, but I had a slight preference for the Servin, which was slightly bolder and more assertive, with a little more body to counteract the richness of the fish. Serve it very chilled with the just-baked, piping hot, syrupy salmon.
Finally, lemon, gin and strawberries are given centre stage in a very rich, moist, buttery summer cake that is as good warm with a dollop of ice cream for pudding as it is served alongside a very British pot of tea. This is an absolute beast of a cake, packed with bolstering almonds and polenta, which also has the bonus of being gluten-free. It has a very moist, buttery crumb, rippled with lemon zest and juice. Then, though, we take strawberries and macerate them in gin, lemon and sugar. Gin is underrated in the kitchen: it has all sorts of beautiful aromatics at work that can really heighten the flavour of certain foods. The strawberries are scattered over the cake batter where they sink and collapse in the heat of the oven, strewing their sweet, perfumed juice throughout the crumb. A sprinkling of toasted pistachios stops everything from being too sweet, and adds a pleasant crunch.
I think the Bouchard is best to accompany this, as it's slightly lighter and sweeter than the Servin. The beauty of this cake is that it isn't too sweet; rather, it's dense and buttery and crumbly, perfect against the flinty mineral notes of the Chablis. If you still have some wine in your glass after the salmon (and if not, pour some more!), there's no need to quaff it quickly before dessert arrives, as a little Chablis with this cake is a very pleasant way to end the meal, on a fresh, bright, citrus note.
These ingredients are all, undoubtedly, classic components of the British summer food checklist, and can be transformed into so much more than soggy dice at the bottom of a plastic cup, given a bit of thought. This is a beautifully balanced summer menu, with plenty of citrus and freshness to brighten the palate. The colours are bold and vibrant, the flavours and light and aromatic, and it's easy to put together for a crowd or just for two. It's a great complement to these two excellent bottles of Chablis, either of which would pair well with the rich components - butter, scallops, salmon - and complement the citrus undertones of the menu. While many of you no doubt retain a preference for our favourite British summer cocktail, I hope this might persuade you to branch out and try a crisp Chablis as the beverage of choice for your next summer gathering. Add it to your own personal summer checklist.
Thanks to Sopexa for inviting me to take part in the challenge.
The recipes:
Seared scallops in orange-infused butter (serves 2):
- Ten small or six large scallops
- Salt and pepper
- 30g butter
- Zest of an orange
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- Coriander leaves, to garnish
Heat the butter in a small saucepan until melted, then add the orange zest. Turn the heat off and leave to infuse for a few minutes.
Pat the scallops dry with kitchen towel, then season well with salt and pepper. When ready to cook, spoon a couple of tablespoons of the infused butter into a frying pan and add the oil. Sear the scallops on a high heat for a couple of minutes on each side, spooning over the melted butter as you go to baste them, then divide between two plates. Spoon over a little of the infused butter from the saucepan, then garnish with coriander. Serve immediately.
Maple-glazed salmon with apple, fennel, cucumber and mint salad (serves 2):
- 40ml maple syrup
- 1 tbsp dark soy sauce
- 1 garlic clove, crushed
- Salt and pepper
- 2 salmon fillets, skin on or off
- 1 tbsp rapeseed oil
- Juice of half a lemon
- 4 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tsp wholegrain mustard
- Salt and pepper
- 1 bulb of fennel
- Half a cucumber
- 1 granny smith apple
- A small bunch of mint, leaves picked
First, marinate the salmon. Mix together the maple syrup, soy, garlic and some salt and pepper in a shallow dish, then add the salmon and coat well in the mixture. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes to an hour, turning occasionally.
To assemble the salad, whisk together the lemon juice, olive oil, mustard, salt and pepper. Finely slice the fennel using a sharp knife or a mandolin. Halve the cucumber lengthways and scoop out the seeds, then cut into thin slivers. Cut the apple into thin matchsticks. Toss with the dressing, then shred the mint leaves and toss these in too. Taste and check the seasoning – you may want a little more lemon juice or salt.
To cook the salmon, pre-heat the oven to 180C. Heat the rapeseed oil in a frying pan over a medium-high heat, then sear the salmon (remove it from the marinade but reserve the marinade) for a minute on both sides if it is skinless, or just on the skin side if the fillets have the skin on. Put the salmon in an ovenproof dish, spoon over the marinade, and cook for around 8 minutes or until the salmon is still a little pink in the middle (this will depend on the thickness of the fillets). Serve the salmon with the salad, with the glaze spooned over.
Lemon and pistachio polenta cake with gin-macerated strawberries [gluten-free] (serves 10):
- 300g strawberries, hulled and halved
- A squeeze of lemon juice
- 1 tbsp gin
- 1 tsp caster sugar
- 220g soft butter
- 220g golden caster sugar
- 200g ground almonds
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 3 eggs
- ¾ tsp baking powder
- Zest of 2 lemons
- Juice of half a lemon
- 110g polenta
- Pinch of salt
- 4 tbsp pistachios, roughly chopped
First, put the strawberries in a bowl and toss with the lemon juice, gin and caster sugar. Set aside. Pre-heat the oven to 160C. Grease and line a 20cm springform cake tin.
In an electric mixer, beat the butter and sugar on a high speed until thick and creamy. Add the almonds and vanilla extract, then beat for a couple more minutes. Add the eggs one at a time, beating after each, then fold in the baking powder, lemon juice and zest, polenta and salt.
Pour into the prepared tin. Scatter the strawberries over the top, followed by the pistachios. Bake for 50 minutes to an hour, or until the cake is firm with only the slightest wobble. Allow to cool in the tin then remove and serve.

(Eds: Updating with fresh quotes and details)
By Aditi Khanna
London, May 18 (PTI) Prince Charles will step into the role of Meghan Markles father and walk her down the aisle at the St Georges Chapel when she marries Prince Harry tomorrow, Kensington Palace announced today.
The 36-year-old former American actress asked her father-in-law-to-be and the Prince of Wales to walk by her side at St Georges Chapel in Windsor Castle after it was confirmed that her father Thomas Markle Sr would not be attending the wedding ceremony due to ill-health, having reportedly undergone a heart procedure earlier this week.
"Ms Meghan Markle has asked His Royal Highness The Prince of Wales to accompany her down the aisle of the Quire at St Georges Chapel on her Wedding Day," the Palace said in a statement.
"The Prince of Wales is pleased to be able to welcome Ms Markle to the Royal Family in this way," it said.
The Archbishop of Canterbury, Justin Welby, who will marry the prince and Ms Markle, said he thought it was "wonderful" Prince Charles will walk Markle down the aisle.
"Hes a very warm person and that hes doing this is a sign of his love and concern and support," he said.
The 69-year-old heir to the British throne has some practice of this role, having previously escorted Alexandra Knatchbull, the daughter of his close friend, down the aisle at her high society wedding to Thomas Hooper in 2016.
After days of speculation, Markle finally confirmed yesterday that "sadly" her own father will not be walking her down the aisle, adding that she cares for him and hopes that "he can be given the space he needs to focus on his health".
Prince Harry, 33, has not yet met his future father-in-law, a retired TV lighting director who lives in Mexico.
It had been expected that her mother Doria Ragland might step into the role as she is accompanying her daughter in the wedding car when she arrives at the chapel.
However, there was no royal protocol preventing Markle from choosing a member of the royal family or a close friend from escorting her, or decide to walk alone.
Ragland, the 61-year-old yoga instructor and social worker who divorced Thomas Markle when Meghan was a little girl, flew into London from Los Angles earlier this week and met Prince Charles and Camilla and Prince William and Kate along with their kids Prince George and Princess Charlotte at Clarence House here.
She will meet Queen Elizabeth II, Harrys 92-year-old grandmother, in Windsor Castle later today.
Prince Harrys grandfather, the Duke of Edinburgh, will also attend the wedding, Buckingham Palace confirmed.
Prince Philip, 96, has been recovering from a hip operation.
Other members of the royal family are also in Windsor ahead of the wedding, including William and Kate, Duke and Duchess of Cambridge; and Prince Charles and his wife Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall.
There had been widespread speculation over Thomas Markles attendance at the wedding ceremony after allegedly staged paparazzi photographs of him emerged in the media.
The wedding day "order of service", printed long before, still has his name on the list.
Meanwhile, the finishing touches are being added to the royal wedding preparations in Windsor, about 42 kms from here.
So-called royal "super fans" have already begun camping out in Windsor to secure the best spots of the wedding procession tomorrow.
They will also be hoping to see 33-year-old Prince Harry before he spends his final night of bachelorhood at the Dorchester Collections Coworth Park in nearby Ascot.
The bride will stay at the Cliveden House Hotel, set in a historic estate in Taplow, Berkshire, with her mother. As per tradition, the bride and groom are expected to spend time apart from each other on the night before their wedding.
According to the weather forecast, Windsor is expected to see "ideal" wedding conditions tomorrow, with balmy temperatures and clear skies accompanied by a light breeze.
The newly-wed royal couple will be doing a tour of the city centre of Windsor in a traditional horse-driven Ascot Landau carriage after they tie the knot at St Georges Chapel in Windsor Castle.
The palace had revealed earlier that Prince Harrys niece, three-year-old Princess Charlotte, will be one of the six young girls chosen as bridesmaids at the wedding.
Her elder brother, Prince George, aged four, will be a pageboy among a total of 10 children chosen for the roles.
So far, all details of the brides and bridesmaids dresses and the pageboys uniforms remain under wraps.
Local Thames Valley Police have said the wedding is expected to attract thousands of people and reporters from around the world to Windsor and that their planning is well under way, with security barriers and CCTV cameras. PTI AK CPS AKJ AKJ AKJ

Top 3 Ways to Beautify the Back Garden Without Breaking the Bank/
Yes, summer's sadly drawn to a close, but that doesn't mean you should stop working on your garden. Keep at it all year round and by the time the sun finally comes out after the long, harsh winter, you'll be able to wow the guests at your first garden party of the summer with some stunning additions.
DIY garden furniture
Buying garden furniture is a nightmare. Half a Saturday wasted spent trudging around your local garden centre, you've blown half of your wages on items that you're not even sure you like, and you need to get your hands on a van to transport it home. A much more creative, affordable and enjoyable way of furnishing your garden is simply by doing it yourself. Use online guides to build garden furniture from old wooden pallets, indoor furniture that you've replaced, blankets and pretty much anything else that would otherwise go to waste, and you'll have some truly unique garden furnishings plus a wad of extra cash in your pocket. Why not spend it on a…
Fire pit
People associate fire pits with the warm, fuzzy memory of midsummer nights spent on holiday, in pub gardens and on the beach, and naturally assume that they're unable to purchase them for themselves without spending an arm and a leg. Actually, home fire pits are available for as little as £20. Place some of your DIY garden furniture around it and you've got yourself a charming, warming outdoor seating area that can be used all year round.
Bespoke veranda
Of course, you can't show off your new fire pit to your friends at the garden party if it's raining. Indeed, the garden furniture you spent so long making won't last long if it's left to the vagaries of the weather until next summer. This is where a bespoke veranda comes in – providing an affordable, sheltered outdoor space that's just as useful for moonlight gatherings and dinner parties as it is for storing the new additions to your garden on those grim days when the last thing you want to do is leave the house. Go with an experienced provider of quality verandas such as 123v and you'll have the choice of some of the most affordable verandas on the market, with optional extras such as iPod docks, speakers, heating and lighting available.
Combine these three affordable, interesting and unusual methods of improving your back garden and your place will be the destination of choice for socialising all year round. Don't go it alone; use internet guides, shop around for accessories and get the advice of bespoke veranda experts such as 123v, and for a fraction of the price of what next door paid for their seen-it-all-before patio, you'll have the beautiful back garden that everybody wants.
