Detection of disease clusters is an important tool in epidemiology that can help to identify risk factors associated with the disease and in understanding its etiology. In this article we propose a method for the detection of spatial clusters where the locations of a set of cases and a set of controls are available. The method is based on local indicators of spatial association functions (LISA functions), particularly on the development of a local version of the product density, which is a second-order characteristic of spatial point processes. The behavior of the method is evaluated and compared with Kulldorff's spatial scan statistic by means of a simulation study. It is shown that the LISA method yields high sensitivity and specificity when it is used to detect simulated clusters of different sizes and shapes. It also performs better than the spatial scan statistic when they are used to detect clusters of irregular shape; however, it presents relatively high type I error in situations where the number of cases is high. Both methods are applied for detecting spatial clusters of kidney disease in the city of Valencia, Spain, in the year 2008. Copyright © 2011 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

text: I woke up Sunday morning and I was hurting in my hip like something was swollen in there (alot of pressure). I just started my menstral cycle so I thought it was just girl stuff, nothing serious. Now, this has been going on for 8 days. I went to the hospital 2 days ago and they ruled out apex, ovaries, kidneys, bladder, and all blood work and urine came back good. Then I stared noticing the gland swollen yesterday inbetween my hip and pelvis. It sends a jolt from that gland to my knee everytime I move. I try to straight it, it feels good till I stop, then it just starts back hurting.

New Styles
Tory Burch Spring 2011 collection
Tory Burch is known for her classic style with a twist and her most recent foray into denim is no exception. The denim of her Spring 2011 collection features exactly that, classic cuts in bright, fun colored denim as well as a few well cut, classic dresses. I've been looking for the perfect pair of colored denim and it looks like the collection has some great options. You can preview the collection below. To shop visit Toryburch.com.
Paige Denim Braided Silverlake & Lou Lou In Mojave
I have been in love with the braided styles in the Mojave wash from Paige Premium as soon as I saw them in the Look Book a while ago. Both the Lou Lou skinny flare and the Silverlake shorts are available to buy now. What I like the most about these styles is the fact that the wash is the perfect shade of light blue for the Spring and Summer evenings or just relaxing on the warm days.
The braided denim across the tops of the front and back pockets is such a unique touch as well, it adds such character to the jeans and makes them that little bit more interesting. I had to blog about both of these styles because they are definite favourites of mine for this season! They are amazing. Buy these online at Paige Denim and they are also available at Coggles online for the UK readers.
Topshop Fairtrade Denim
In anticipation of the festival season, Topshop has designed an 11 piece Fairtrade collection which Embodies Topshop's SS11 gypsy rocker trend 'Snake Valley'. The pieces showcase the best Fairtrade jersey and denim cotton that help form the perfect summer wardrobe which can be easily rolled up and stuffed into your bag. The collection is the perfect accompaniment for a summer of fun and frolics.
Abstract feather prints and geometric tassels adorn staple jersey vests in a palette of fiery burgundies, magentas, yellows and white. Fringed bat winged boleros and over sized platted snoods provide the perfect cover up for late night fire side dancing.
As Topshop welcomes Fairtrade certified cotton into select pieces from the Moto denim collections for the first time, this capsule collection introduces new shapes including the ultimate mini hot pant in bleached out and dark denims, plus a fresh new shape with a more relaxed leg and side pocket providing a relaxed fit. While for the evenings a higher wasted Capri gives a chic beatnik silhouette.
All together the capsule collection reaffirms Topshop's commitment to providing ethically scoured fabrics in up to the minute trends. What do you think of the collection?

Let me share what I know about SEO, Google SEO, and how it all connects to WordPress. Some of you may know this info, but many are clueless. I'll explain.
If you are hosted on WordPress.com you do not need Google SEO to find an audience. Your audience is right here already waiting for you to connect. That is on you and how much you want to be "found." That doesn't mean SOME of the advice you read on SEO isn't relevant because it still can be. Photos will make your post more noticeable (I rarely use them), the title does matter (my titles suck), tags really matter (I mainly tag with the top traffic tags), and the time of day in which you post is also important (for me that is about 10 am – 11 am MDT due to a large American audience). If you self-host or cannot access the WordPress Reader you must rely on Google SEO to be found and that is why I strongly encourage "new bloggers" not to go that route.
WordPress is already setup to "step you through" creating posts that are easily found by internal search. It also helps that WordPress has its own search engine internally built. That is why you don't have to rely on Google to be found by a "random reader." To have your post read, however, does take effort and some of the "tricks" SEO experts preach are relevant in this regard. Bloggers still need to realize that if all you are seeking is new connections those connections can be found right here on WordPress without ever stepping off site. Think of WP and Google as cities in this regard. To have people from the Google city find you they must search for you right? That is where learning how to create the right posts with the right titles and tags can be important if traffic from a third party website is your goal.
Why would someone care to be found through Google? You have a far greater chance of going viral from a Google connection because you honestly have no idea who that is finding you. It could be a Congressman, it could be a Instagram forum with tens of thousands of members gawking at your post which someone has pasted on an alternate site. It has happened to me before and trust me I was a bit surprised to find one of my "feminist posts" on a forum with about 40,000 feminist followers. That was an interesting day. Your chances of going "viral" on WordPress aren't as good. You can get Freshly Pressed by chance or have a larger blogger share your posts… which most powerbloggers don't do. I think I may give the wrong impression by how I act towards my fellow bloggers because most "large bloggers" don't give a shit about you unless you can offer them something.
I quickly learned that my target audience was other bloggers. That is why my readership is 100% WordPress. I learned this after only a few weeks of blogging and the proof of that is my graph below where you see a sudden upsurge in viewership around February to March of 2013.
I also want to show you what I have said before and that is the fluctuations that take place from the work and lack thereof I put into this website. That can be witnessed by this second graph.
Notice the plateus in views due to my weekends and the times I take a break. This is explained in my blogging model in which I tell you that people find me because I work at them finding me. I do not sit around and wait for visitors and again my readership is not fueled by Google. I am almost at 1 million views in less than two years and that is due to hard work. I did not moan about what others have, complain about fake followers and spammers, it is all about what you want to accomplish. If your goal is to have people see your writing, photos, blog, or anything you are promoting you must go out and find those people willing to give you a chance. They won't find you unless you strike gold and get lucky.
Striking gold DOES exist. Many of you may have a post that sees far more "spam" than others. That is because your post has been flagged by a search engine or a bot that is directly connecting to your post. This is a "good" thing if you are seeking views only. I of course am after interaction (note that I deleted all the posts from 2013 when I almost stopped blogging last December and that removed over 200,000 comments), so bot views really don't matter too much to me. You can also score big if you are found by someone important through Google SEO. We have to take into account that most CEOs and Presidents of corporations are probably not sitting around blogging on WordPress. Their companies do have workers scouring the internet for relatable websites and that is where you can get noticed. This is all to say that Google SEO is not complete bullshit, I simply don't rely on it for my website as a choice.
I am sure someone with a marketing degree will disagree with some of this. That is their right and I don't have a degree in marketing, only a business degree. I do not work in an SEO related field and this knowledge is all from what I have deciphered. I am providing my graphs to show that I am not talking out of my ass though, so the choice is really up to you if you wish to believe this post. The bottom line is that getting "discovered" is rarely going to happen, but if you put true effort in you can guide others to find you. How much do you want it?

suggestions of shrubs to plant
I am searching for a upright, sun-loving, evergreen shrub to
plant in a very large tub next to my front door. I am in zone
8a and it will get full southern sun all day. Is there such a shrub? Please help me if you can.
I am in Mississippi and the spot where the pot will be is facing the south. So it will be full,hot sun all day. That's
why I am being so careful about plant selection. The tubs are antique washing machine tubs, they are white and are
very large. I have considered several shrubs, perennials, and grasses. But since the site is next to my front door, I would really love to have something evergreen, if that is
If the tubs are antique it would make sense to use them as outers and put something else inside, like Ken suggests. You are in danger of rusting out the tubs otherwise. Plus metal tubs will get very hot.
How about oleander? Although it may be borderline hardy in a tub. But it sure can take the heat! Of course there's always Ligustrum japonicum, Euonymus japonica (Golden), Ternstroemia japonica (Cleyera), Pittosporum (might not be very upright though), possibly Podocarpus.

Some former shareholder saw the cyclical downturn coming in advance and sold long ago to people that didn't understand. This started the downtrend. Later, more shareholders caught on to what was happening, and the downtrend continued as they sold to value investors. With today's loss report, all the former shareholder "got it" and sold at the bottom. With no marginal sellers remaining, we've passed the bottom. In fact, today we saw the classic signs of a revulsion bottom: a sharp drop followed by an about-face sharp jump upward, all on huge macro-bottom volume. Classic.
This is going to be over $20 soon. I believe a bottom has been reached. All of the bad news has been priced in.

It happens quite often. A loon or duck may be flying over a road or paved parking area and mistake it for a stream or pond. Expecting a soft landing, they come down to rest or find a meal. Unfortunately, they find the hard surface of asphalt and no fish to find. Ducks can simply […] [Read More]

... walked around the streets for a while but then we went to the Galileo Museum. It showed all his,and other scientists, inventions and tributes to the world. At the end was my favourite bit because there were interactive science games. Then we headed back to the ship for me to go to the Splash Academy and to play BINGO.

The lifeboat was banging against the ship so badly that we had to wait until it was close enough to step over. Anyway back on board now, sitting watching the water getting rougher and feeling sorry for the people who have left it to the last moment to come aboard. Wonder how many will make ...

text: The The Elementals Fight Sadam Hussein! wiki last edited by fesak on 04/16/13 03:53PM View full history David Golden visits his son Mark in Israel and is taken hostage by Saddam's forces. The Elementals are flown into Saudia Arabia. F.I.S.H. is having a hard time locating Becky's Father and it is later decided the best way for them to infiltrate is to get captured. Posing as normal people (minus Becky who is left, because her skin is green and her powers are useless in a desert), the three approach a troop and surrender. Saddam enters their camp and Monolith ridicules him, they are then sent to the place where David is being held. The Elementals break free but must contend with two powerful Gods who have awoken and allied with Saddam.As corrected in an editorial in Elementals vol.2 #19, Bill Willingham was not a contributor on this issue. He is listed as the Creator of the Elementals though, just had nothing to with this issue.

It is said that history is written by the victors. Maybe so, but in the United States over the last century, history has largely been written by the liberals. This inevitably leads to bias, which inevitably operates on even the most impartial of minds. While most historians try to be fair and judicious, the fact that the overwhelming majority of them are on the left generates an inexorable tilt to the American historical narrative.
It is often subtle, but it is there -- for instance in the different ways that presidents are remembered, depending on their politics. Richard Nixon is roundly and regularly assailed for the appearance of impropriety in the Checkers Scandal. Meanwhile, LBJ has basically been forgiven for potentially cheating on his taxes. And virtually nobody remembers that FDR probably called off the IRS to protect Johnson, his loyal protégé. The same FDR vigorously pursued a tax fraud case against Andrew Mellon, whose only ostensible misdeed was serving as treasury secretary for the preceding, Republican administrations.
This tilt is similarly evident in rankings of American presidents. Take this 2010 poll of historians by Siena College. If FDR, Truman, and Wilson had been conservative or Republican, a lot of their sins -- on corruption, on race, on violating property and civil rights -- would weigh much more heavily upon them. By the same token, William McKinley, Calvin Coolidge, Ronald Reagan, Dwight Eisenhower, and Gerald Ford are underestimated -- likely because they refused to grow the national leviathan at the "appropriate" pace.
In other words, bias often gets down to which facts are emphasized and which are downplayed, or ignored altogether.
And bias is not exclusive to presidential history. As I point out in my new book, A Republic No More: Big Government and the Rise of American Political Corruption, the expansion of the state is largely celebrated by (mostly liberal) historians, yet its vices tend to be ignored.
Most mainstream historians celebrate myriad government expansions as good, right, and utterly necessary. The more power that is centralized in Washington, D.C., especially in the office of the president, the better. What I have found, however, is that those "wondrous" moments of state expansion are often followed … several years down the road, of course … by a phenomenon that gets left out of the mainstream story: political corruption.
It is the liberal cocoon that is wrapped around American history. And it is not spun through intentional deceit, nor are facts distorted. It is the inevitable bias of human beings to value certain facts over other facts. That is how we all work; liberals are no exception.
A recent example of this tendency is found in an essay in the New Yorker by Princeton historian Julian Zelizer, describing the passage of Medicare. In writing my book, I had occasion to study Medicare in some detail, and I can aver that each of Zelizer's points is factually correct. It is his frame with which I disagree, because certain facts are excluded in service of that narrative.
Zelizer's telling of Medicare's enactment is fairly conventional. If you've read anything about the history of the program, you'll know the story, which often reads like one of the fairy tales I read to my little boy. In the 1940s, good liberals were acutely concerned about providing health care through the federal government. Yet time and again they were thwarted by bad conservatives and selfish interest groups like the American Medical Association (AMA). Poor Harry Truman and John Kennedy wanted to make it happen, but they just couldn't pull it off. Enter LBJ. With loads of grit and plenty of determination -- leavened by just the right amount of Southern folksiness! -- LBJ finally moved the wheel of history a little closer to its final destination. Huzzah!
Two important points are often left out of the story.

Given that I've probably published more articles critical of Obamacare than anyone alive, I'm often asked to speak to conservative audiences about our new health law.
As I've made pretty clear, I am not a fan of the "explanatory journalism" trend that purports to take an empirical approach to explaining complex issues. Its chief practitioners are a bunch of young, terribly biased journalists who tend to treat politics and policy as some sort of game, even as they broadcast their ignorance. Anyway, if you want a concise example of why explanatory journalism is bad—so pure and crystalline it could have been produced by Walter White—let me direct you to this Vox.com piece on Medicare.
The Mary Landrieu campaign is out with a new hit against the Louisiana Democrat's Republican opponent, Congressman Bill Cassidy. The 30-second ad focuses on Cassidy's support for policies that supposedly hurt senior citizens. Watch the video below:
"It was Congressman Bill Cassidy who voted to raise the Social Security retirement age to 70, cut Social Security benefits for retirees, and raise Medicare costs by $6,000," says the voiceover.

Both Pryor and his Democratic allies are hitting Republican nominee and House member Tom Cotton over his support for a budget proposal that would have, starting in 2022, gradually raised the retirement age for receiving Social Security and Medicare benefits.
On Sunday, the White House blog declared that Obamacare made this Mother's Day "particularly special." On Monday, the Obamacare website Healthcare.gov got into the act, suggesting that "Health insurance with Medicaid is the perfect Mother's Day gift":
May 22, 2014, marks the 50th anniversary of President Lyndon Baines Johnson's "Great Society" address, delivered at the spring commencement for the University of Michigan. That speech remains the most ambitious call to date by any president (our current commander in chief included) to use the awesome powers of the American state to effect a far-reaching transformation of the society that state was established to serve. It also stands as the high-water mark for Washington's confidence in the broad meliorative properties of government social policy, scientifically applied.
In October 2013, as the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), a division of the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), was launching Healthcare.gov, CMS also launched a quieter initiative. As part of Ignite, an internal HHS program designed to spur innovation, a team within CMS's press office designed a system to help CMS communicate more quickly and efficiently with the press.
Four years after Obamacare became law, the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) is notifying Medicare providers and suppliers of new fingerprint-based background checks. Eventually, all individuals who hold a five percent or greater stake in a Medicare supplier or provider that is categorized as "high risk" will be subject to the requirement.
The contractor building the financial management system for Healthcare.gov is being blamed by a Houston hospital for delayed Medicare reimbursements that have caused the hospital to miss payrolls for weeks. Novitas Solutions is the federal government's new Medicare payment processor for the south-central region of the country hired by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), a division of the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS.) ABC-KTRK in Houston reports:
As the October 1 launch of Healthcare.gov drew closer, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) realized it was in trouble.
The Obamacare website Healthcare.gov has been grabbing all the headlines lately, but another aspect of the Affordable Care Act (ACA) may come under increased scrutiny in the weeks and months ahead: Electronic Health Records (EHR).
The Department of Health and Human Services released a statement today saying that gay spouses are now eligible for key Medicare benefits. The announcement is presented as "guidance" for "implementing Supreme Court's decision on the Defense of Marriage Act."
A recent audit by the Office of the Inspector General for Health and Human Services found that in four out of five cases when elective surgeries were cancelled for one reason or another, Medicare still paid even though the claims submitted by the hospitals failed the "reasonable and necessary" standard.
The bankrupt city of Detroit may have found a way out of its health care woes for its retired city workers: shifting the costs to taxpayers nationwide via Obamacare. If Detroit and other struggling municipalities follow through, the result could be a "huge cost" to taxpayers. The New York Times has the story:

Avs, Wings paying the piper
Years of trading first-round picks for playoff help may cost the Avs and Wings a shot at the draft's premier talent.
Updated: June 20, 2003, 2:21 PM ETBy By Jim Wilkie | NHL Insider
Here's a look at what teams in the Western Conference are looking for and looking to do at this weekend's NHL entry draft in Nashville, Tenn. (the Eastern Conference was covered Thursday): Columbus Blue Jackets: For the long-term future, Columbus president and GM Doug MacLean would be wise to take the best player available with the fourth overall pick. But MacLean also took on the responsibilities of head coach after firing Dave King and finishing out last season. So the jack of all trades is under even more pressure to win now, especially after expansion brothers Minnesota made the playoffs in its third season and advanced to the Western Conference finals. Like last year, MacLean believes the Blue Jackets should contend for a playoff spot. So to avoid another disastrous season, which could threaten one or all of his jobs, MacLean is willing to trade Columbus' top pick to get some immediate help, according to the Ottawa Sun. San Jose Sharks: Doug Wilson has a great opportunity to make his mark as the new GM of the Sharks. He inherits the sixth and 21st overall selections and 15 picks in the draft because of San Jose's sell-off of players late last season. Considering the previous belt-tightening before Dean Lombardi was fired, any deals Wilson pulls off probably won't bring a big-name player who would significantly increase payroll unless he can also trade away some high salaries. The new GM also has to keep an eye on the future and isn't likely to deal both first-round picks with such a good draft class available.

The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention state that around 1 in 68 American children are on the autism spectrum. This is a ten-fold increase in prevalence in the last 40 years. Autism spectrum disorders are estimated to affect more than two million individuals in the U.S. and tens of millions worldwide. Not only is the prevalence increasing in our country, but in many countries around the world. April 2 is World Autism Day and in the U.S., April is National Autism Awareness Month. In honor of World Autism Day and Autism Awareness Month, hosts Kara Carper and Kristen Gunderson talk about how nutrition can make a difference in improving the lives of those with an autism diagnosis.
One in five women develop depression at some point in their life and women are twice as likely as men to have depression. Depression can hit women at any age, but the high-risk years are from 40-59 (those menopausal years). What are some of the nutrition connections to depression? There are more than you might think. On this episode, hosts Darlene Kvist, Lea Wetzell, and Kate Crosby explore some natural antidepressant eating habits and brain nutrients you can start using to lift your mood and energy.
Celiac disease is a genetic autoimmune disease in which eating gluten sets off an immune response that causes damage to the small intestine. Do you have celiac disease or know someone who does? If so, you know how important it is to stay away from gluten. Maybe you are sensitive to gluten, but don't have celiac. On this episode we take a close look at the difference between celiac disease and gluten sensitivity. Hosts Cassie Weness and Britni Thomas have personal experience with both and are eager to help you understand and take steps to feel your best if you're afflicted by either.
The American Psychological Association says the major aspect of weight control involves understanding and managing thoughts and behaviors that can interfere with weight loss. Where do those thoughts and behaviors come from? Until you get the correct food and nutrition, your brain won't be very successful at managing them. On this episode, we explore how brain chemistry and nutrition effect your thoughts and behaviors with hosts Darlene Kvist, JoAnn Ridout and Katie Vigesaa.
Are you taking birth control pills? Do you get little sleep at night? Are you approaching or currently going through menopause? All of these things affect your hormones which can impact your weight. On this episode, we take a deep dive into certain hormonal factors that impact your weight. For example, did you know your metabolic rate is lowest early in the morning so you will actually lose more weight if you sleep in rather than getting up early to hit the gym. Listen in with hosts Darlene Kvist, Britni Thomas and Katie Vigesaa as they explain more and what you can do to balance your hormones to start losing weight.
We know depression in teenagers is on the rise and at Nutritional Weight & Wellness, we know there is a food connection. Let's picture the brain. What does your son or daughter's brain need to work?

Listen in with hosts Katie Vigesaa and Lea Wetzell to learn how you can help your kids heal their brains so they experience more balanced moods.

So what can you do to support your immune system and ward off these nasty infections, even if you come into contact with it? Listen to hosts Brenna Thompson and JoAnn Ridout to find out how you can keep your immune system strong all year long.
At least 24 million people of all ages and genders suffer from some type of an eating disorder, but only 1 out of 10 of those men and women receive treatment. Sadly, eating disorders have the highest mortality rate of any mental illness. Research is showing that better outcomes with treatment occur when nutrition therapy is combined with cognitive and behavioral therapy. Listen in to learn more with hosts Darlene Kvist, Kara Carper and Marcie Vaske. Darlene and Kara talk to Marcie about her personal struggles with anorexia and disordered eating and what she has done to live a healthier life.
To feel your best, start by changing your eating. Stop eating sugar and processed carbohydrates and stop consuming bad fats. Instead, choose real foods.

But sometimes people need added support by way of quality supplements to heal their bodies. What supplements could help you feel better? Find out with Darlene Kvist, Brenna Thompson and supplement expert Greg Peterson from NutriDyn.

Extremely High Water Bill
I got my bill from East Bay MUD and was shocked when it said I used an average of 1300 gallons per day, up from last year's 61 (which I still think is kinda high, actually). That's 80,000 gallons for a two month period! Even so, $400 for that much water is kinda cheap, really.
I live alone, and I think I'd notice if someone or something were using that much water. I have no irrigation, no swimming pool, I don't even wash my hair every day. No one around here has a swimming pool either.
They came out to check the meter and said it was a correct reading and right now I'm averaging 106 gallons per day. The meter was not moving so there are no leaks. No one has touched any plumbing. I can hear it when the water is running, since the house supply valve is next to my front door.
Did a 1300 gallon per day leak suddenly fix itself? I think it's a scam. Their phone system, which I've been on since starting this post, just hung up on me. Here's another person who had the same thing happen to her:
Any ideas?
A single toilet can waste well over 1,000 gallons of water a day in 2 scenarios:
1. Float shutoff valve is faulty and continues to fill water into the overflow tube even after the tank is full
2. Flapper valve sticks open and the tank won't fill because the water runs into the bowl. Or the flapper doesn't seal properly and the bowl keeps refilling every few minutes.
Either of these problems can occur intermittently, so you may not have noticed. Monitor your toilets closely each time you flush. Listen to them fill and shut off. Open the tank and look inside as you flush to watch the working parts. Does the flapper ever catch on the chain? Is the water level all the way to the top of the overflow tube when the tank fills completely? Do you ever hear the toilet fill itself a little bit for no reason? If any of those occurr this can waste an incredible amount of water.
Once you rule out the toilets, you can pursue the utility company for a refund.
I will agree with aidan_m (above) that a simple little toilet leak may cause more financial grief than you would expect.
This is usually caused by a worn out flapper valve or faulty fill valve. Either way, these are very inexpensive items that you can easily change yourself in 15 minutes or less.
By a Fluidmaster 400A and a universal flapper (unless you have a unusual toilet) and follow the directions on how to change.
If anything, you toilet will benefit from a nice tune-up.
When EBMUD came out, no water was running! That's what's so confounding--a 1,300 gal/day flow stopped without me doing a thing, except I'm still 40gal/day over my average, but that could be the carry over from the flowing period.
So there's no leak now, and I simply can't imagine someone stealing that much water without me knowing it. They would have had to do it from the front of my house.
Put a few drops of food coloring in the toilet tank and watch the bowl to see if the color shows up.
If the color gets into the bowl, and it may take a while, then the flapper is leaking.
what was your meter reading 6 months ago? and today? the city keeps track of monthly/yearly usage. there should be a meter reading from 1yr ago, 9 months ago, 6 months ago and so on. mine is billed every 3 months. have the city tell you what the reading was for each billing period for the last year?

Wet 'n' Wild Color Icon Trio - Knock on Wood [DISCONTINUED]
Average Rating 4.3/5
Review by spookibelle
I love the eyelid colour in this trio SO MUCH!! It's the perfect warm plum colour to complement my blue-green eyes, making them look lighter & more green. The pink highlight colour doesn't show up very well, but all the shades work well blended together. The brown shade is a good staple colour.
