SF Good Questions: How to Brighten Up My Dark Living Room and Kitchen?
AT:SF, I recently bought a place and I love everything about it, except for the fact that the living room and kitchen feels very dark and depressing due to the dark cherry floor and cabinets. The whole place just feels so "red" to me; and on top of that, we have an upper deck outside the living room that blocks a lot of the sunlight coming to the living room. How do I decorate and furnish this place to make it brighter?...

You are insane. Your floors are beautiful! People pay thousands of dollars to have floors like that.
I would paint your trim white. Don't paint your walls white though...too stark. Go with a cool tone. Like a cool gray or muted blue.
Your furniture is what needs to change. Get rid of those muddy browns and use some whites and colors.
For your kitchen, put in a color on the backsplash. Green looks great with cherry.
i think the floors are beautiful as well! i think if you want brighter, go with a robin's egg blue or something that has a cool tone but a bright one as well. is that your furniture in the picture? if so, i think you have unintentionally picked a place with floors that match your furniture- there is quite a bit of brown there!
I agree, beautiful place and great kitchen cabinets. I agree with painting the trim as well as the fireplace; that looks like a black whole in your living room that stands out. If you want more light, use light. Try some ceiling mounted spotlights or a skylight if possible or a 'solatube'. Nice use of Floor lamps and candles though. Mirrors are another simple, yet effective solution!
oh two more things- 1. your place is very lovely (i don't think i mentioned that) 2. my office has the same dark wood trim everywhere and our walls are a buttery yellow with a bit of orange in it. it sounds kind of strange but it is very warm and inviting
yes, definitely paint the wall/window trimming white. it would look so much better.
i think you should get rid of the rug underneath your sectional and choose a lighter/bright color along with the pillows on your couch. it's just too dark in my opinion, especially if you want to brighten things up.
paint the trim white (or cream) and give the walls some color. it will make the whole thing pop better. I think you could work around your netural sofa but that rug has got to go.
I think you need some blue here, something cool.
I am in agreement, the floors are wonderful! I also agree that you have too much brown as it is with the furnishings shown and your living room rug is too small. I'd go with a white shag that is just a bit wider than the sectional, but place it so the right side is flush w/ the carpet's edge and let it extend the other two directions for it can then be more effective as a visual delineation for a seating group.
Paint the fireplace a much lighter color and one thing, the kitchen cabinets are a bit dark and if you are not getting a lot of light in the kitchen, those dark cabinets will absorb the light. Do not be afraid to utilize artificial lighting for when it's dark and gloomy outside and in the evenings/nights but what you need to do is assess the lighting coming in now through your windows and see how bright the room is, without anything dark in it as possible to get an idea of just how bright it can get.
White, unless you go with something like antique white with crisp white for the window etc trim will work fine without being stark but I'd also look into lighter colors too for they will visually expand the room and allow light to bounce around. Dark colors will absorb, lighter colors will bounce and white as accents as in a conversation area like I mentioned above and go with less brown if you can.
Hope this helps
I think the floors and cabinets are gorgeous, but I can see how it can make the place feel dark and cave-like, especially if you don't get a lot of sun light.
I think white walls would cause a lot of contrast with the cherry, and make the floors and cabinets look even darker. I would suggest:
* painting the walls a creamy/yellowy color - like butter cream frosting. This will help warm it up, but also (hopefully) tone down the look of the floors.
* area rugs! In the third photo there is a lot of naked floor. Some light colored rugs would brighten things up. Also, I don't think the living room rug is helping the situation as it's rather dark toned as well. I think a fluffy flokati or felted wool rug in a natural color (off-white) would be spectacular.
* trim: I am with you, I hate wood trim. But, if it's varnished it will likely bleed through the paint and look like crap. Instead, I would suggest investing in some nice drapes and hanging them in a way to cover the top and sides of the windows. If you have the budget, silk drapes would offer a marvelous luster.
Good luck!
PS - the floor in my kitchen is a dark reddish-brown wood like your cabinets. I painted my kitchen eggplant purple and it looks divine with the floor color. So, maybe instead of focusing on brightening things up with light colors, embrace the dark wood and play off it. Also, some halogen lights really help a lot too.
Change the rug for something larger and lighter in colour. Also change the brown pillows on the sofa for something more colourful.
Maybe try some sheer drapes - go wider than the actual window size to draw your eye up without blocking light coming in.
Your woodwork looks quite nice (at least in the photos). I'd leave it alone.
As others have commented, a blue or green rug, pillows and throw would liven things up. That may be all you need. Some window treatments might be good.
I would not paint the trim white. What you have is beautiful, and I think you will regret messing with it.
ooooooo I love the wood. I'd paint the walls a muted color like a pale moss/sage. Beige walls always feel darker than they are to me. Maybe some crown molding in eggshell? Then maybe bring in a little color to the couch with throw pillows, maybe in a sage or light teal. Some tall sheer colored drapes...
I'm not so good with kitchen color though. Maybe some sheer colored drapes there?
I second the above votes for halogen lights... I use them and the white lighting bouncing off the ceiling helps open up my living room. I also really dig the idea of a rich color in the kitchen, as suggested by an above poster.
i like white walls and there are plenty of designs showing darker floors with white walls. Could you stain the floors to match your cabinets?
i also think your kitchen reads heavy. a couple of ideas : remove the upper cabinets at the corner/back wall and tile to the ceiling with a back splash of reflective tile like white subway tiles or glass mosiacs. you could add cabinet storage under your half wall/breakfast bar if you need the lost storage. paint the upper cabinets white or light gray (i know heresy to some) to lighten their impact and coordinate the tile with your color choice. paint out your island (white/gray/blue).
as for the trim. i again like white. consider painting the inner egdes in gloss for added reflectivity.
Paint nice colors - like a light blue in kitchen. Acessorize with punches of color. How about some colorful canisters on the counter? Fiestaware maybe?
Switch the rug out for something lighter and larger like a sisal rug. Get some bright striped yellow curtains and pillows to match. That will brighten it up. Make the curtains floor length and extending past the sides of the windows a few feet -so that they frame the couch as well as the window. They won't block the light if you don't close them but they will soften the room and could provide a punch of color as well as a frame. You could add a lighter, brighter occasional chair too. I'd suggest a bigger plant - like a palm in the corner between the couch and the fireplace.
How about an accent color on the wall below the stairs? Or a colorful runner carpet for that area? It seems kind of large and empty. You could move the plant and make a fun display there too - with a console table and colorful prints, or a desk.
Consider your lighting choices too. You seem to have a few lamps that may be too small for the scale of the room.
I wouldn't mess with the woodtrim or cabinets until I was sure that I'd tried other less permanent changes first.
Painting the walls and moldings white won't make the room brighter - just more boring.
First, I'd paint the ceiling a pale sky blue and get some color on the walls - perhaps a warm gold-tone to contrast w/ the red/brown woods and black stonework. Then I'd choose a bright glass mosaic tile for the kitchen backsplash - probably in a sea green/aqua/gold mix.
Finally, you need brighter furnishings: a large 9x12 ivory patterned rug (such as the pixel crewel rug or coral crewel rug on wshome.com), sofas and chairs in summer-y fabrics (pale blue linen sofa and navy blue & white ikat chairs?) with accent pillows/artwork in corals, oranges and reds. Breezy ivory linen curtains with pale-blue banded edges to tie in with the sofa fabric. Don't neglect the lighting either: I'd choose blue & white chinese ceramic lamps on painted or lighter-toned wood tables and a circular chrome and glass coffee table. Finally, a large circular/octagonal mirror above the fireplace in a silver-toned frame.
Your hallway also needs more of the same treatment: a nice Asian painted-wood cabinet/credenza with a lamp on top - and a long runner (don't match the rug in the living room - go for some contrast)
1. yes paint the trim
2. go with an ivory/cream rug, it will contrast your furniture and floor nicely- maybe a shag.
2. bring some bright colors in with pillows, curtains- flanking the windows- dont cover them, and other accessories
3. a vase of pretty bright fresh flowers do wonders for a room! bring some in the kitchen and maybe on the coffee table!
4. i think a light buttery yellow would look good in the kitchen
your home is lovely! i think it just needs some accessorizing.
I paint my ceilings high gloss white to reflect light back down into the rooms. Nearly any light colored high gloss paint is likely to do the same.
I have very similar floors and cabinets, also dark, with dark fireplace, dark stairs AND a dark sectional, even darker than yours :). I do have white trim though, that brightens it up a lot. My walls are a warm light beige color. I don't have my place decorated all the way yet, but I plan to use light and bright throw pillows, light rug, light table lamps and light roller shades, too. Should be plenty to brighten it up.
The "problem" with your kitchen is the granite - it's too dark, so there is no contrast. Since that's not so easy to change - try to create some contrast with accessories.
You have a very beautiful house. I love it!
Good luck!
My opinion, in general, is to find a 'contrasting'/bright color for your 'accessories', such as: throw pillows, lamp shades and window treatments.
It may be a little more affordable than painting or re-doing your floors, which I think should just stay put. Your floors are "Ultra-gorgeous", if you will.
I'm about to move into a new place with similar issues to you. Your window is a lot bigger than mine, so you are lucky. Contrary to what most people are saying I actually would paint everything white, including the trim. If you can afford it, I would make the floors darker. I think the contrast against the white walls would make the room appear brighter. I would move the sectional away from the window so that more light can get through. Maybe make the window the focus of the room. And if you can afford it, I would try to get paler furniture. Another trick I read about in a 50s interior design book was to include reflective/shiny surfaces.
As for your kitchen, I would do the same. I think the cabinets are way too dark. I'd paint them all a shade of white and then perhaps paint the wall/splashbacks a brighter colour for some contrast. Or put in some shiny tiles. (Pale blue or green I think would work) But I'd love to see a bright canary yellow (shocking I know, but I think that it would work well the the black granite). I like white, black and yellow together.
I think bigger plants into the lounge room would be great.
I support your idea of painting everything white!
Oh, also, perhaps if you go with the idea of removing some of the cabinetry near the window, you could perhaps replace them with open shelves where you could display some of your prettier items.
You've got a lot of space to work with... good luck!

Netflix CEO is banking on broken relationships
Sharing is caring, but content makers may see things differently.
Thousands of people share Netflix (NFLX) with their family and friends.
But Reed Hastings, Netflix's CEO, isn't too worried about the problem, according to Gigaom. While this may have surprised some investors, there may be a good reason for his nonchalant attitude.
"He doesn't seem to care because it's not his content," Rich Tullo, Director of Research at Albert Fried & Company, told Benzinga. "He's leasing the content, so if he can convert one or two of those 10 people sharing, what's it to him? That's a good thing for him. Sure he wouldn't care. I wouldn't care either if I were him."
The same cannot be said of content makers.
"Viacom (VIA) cares, obviously, because they pulled Nickelodeon out," said Tullo. "Time Warner (TWX) cares because they pulled old movies out. They should care. If Netflix's subscribers are up 25% year-over-year but usage is up 30 to 40% year-over-year, then all that means is that there's got to be a lot of people sharing -- I call it squatting. Netflix squatting."
Tullo said that if you interview 10 or 15 college kids you may find that only one of them actually pays for the Netflix account they're all using/sharing.
"Sure it's great!" he said. "I would think it's great too if someone was paying and I got all this free TV."
Instead of cracking down on sharing, Tullo believes that Netflix is waiting for fate to take its
"Reed Hastings is banking on the fact that the guy breaks up with his girlfriend and he creates an incremental subscription from that because they were sharing and now they're no longer sharing," said Tullo.
"But really, if I'm the content guy, I'm Lionsgate (LGF), and I've distributed something there… I'm Kevin Spacey, I just produced this great series, they pay me $50 million for it, and I find out that a lot more people watched it than I'm getting credit for, for producing it. They've got the stock up. Reed Hastings is a billionaire, and all I'm paid is $50 million when I could have went straight to video or HBO and get a cut of the action? It's a big deal."

Release Date: 2010 |
So yeah, not a fan of the album
Never cared about this band.
XX has it's moments but I've heard nothing else by them. Review sounds like I made a good choice.
Digging: Mistigo Varggoth Darkestra - The Key to the Gates of the Apocalypse
They're still one of my favorite bands, but yeah, I wouldn't rec this at all
Album Rating: 2.5Yeah this was disappointing as I really enjoyed Savior Sorrow. Harvest The Garden is okay though. Also I must ask are you aware that there are two vocalists? Jeffrey Nothing does most of the singing while Waylon does the screaming.
Sorry, I couldn't tell.
I listen this band but I've never really looked at the band members and their history and stuff
Pardon my ignorance
I only know XIII and that's very solid, but it seems I won't check this.
Digging: Pandemonium - Insomnia
Album Rating: 2.5It's all good, I honestly probably couldn't tell just from listening either as they both have a southern twang to their voice.
Album Rating: 1.5Solid review. This band started going downhill fast when they lost their heart and soul - Jmann.
I agree completely with that

Home >> Priests and Brothers>> Consecrated Brothers >> Formation
Come and See and Candidacy Program
The man will spend time with a professed brother and/or a priest in one of the SOLT missions or formation houses at either The Mount Carmel Mission, Belize, Central America or at St Annes, Belcourt, North Dakota. This is a time of discernment if the man is called to become a member of the Society of Our Lady of the Most Holy Trinity, or if he is called to become a member of another community.
Novitiate Year
This is a year of spiritual formation. Within the American Region, the man who is accepted for the Novitiate will enter at the community Assembly in July and leave for the Novitiate House. At the end of the year, the brother makes Promises of Poverty, Chastity and Obedience. The promises of the three Counsels are for one year, and the brother will continue to renew for up to five more years.
Intellectual Year
Brothers will be asked to "Have among yourselves the same mind that is also yours in Christ Jesus" (Philippians 2:5 NAB) and develop their intellect in giving glory to God and in the charity and savor to men and women of our time. To this end, they may study at different institutions approved by the SOLT community for their academic excellence, and most importantly, their faithfulness to the Magisterium of the Catholic Church.
Pastoral Year
Finally, the man will undertake a pastoral year. Six months of his Pastoral Year will be serving in a mission, depending upon the gifts of the brother. If he is gifted in languages he will be assigned to a foreign mission; if he is gifted in other areas, he will be assigned into a mission with facilities to develop his skills as a Permanent Brother. The final six months of his Pastoral Year will be spent in Ecclesial Family Team Formation in Robstown, Texas. Here the brother will learn to serve and live in an Ecclesial Family Team, serving with all other vocations.

Hey, Millennials (AKA 95% of the people on Tumblr) is this you? -BdM
Who are the Millennials? Aside from being born in the 1980s and 1990s, they comprise a generation that continues to elude a neat definition. With the popularity of HBO's Girls, in which Lena Dunham's character thinks she's the voice of this new generation ("Or at least a voice. Of a generation."), Millennials have come under renewed focus in the media, among the literati, and in the boardrooms of marketers trying to pinpoint what this demographic wants.
A few ways Millennials are being described:
1. They're spendthrifts…
Studies show that Millennials are more likely than their elders to spend big, "especially on new technologies," says Julie Halpert at The Fiscal Times. These studies say Millennials are addicted to instant gratification, and view new gadgets as needs, not wants. Millennials are also "the fastest-growing demographic of those who purchase luxury goods," says Rachel Krause at The Frisky.
2. …And they're broke
A new survey shows that 25 percent of Millennials "reported not having enough money to cover their basic needs," a much higher percentage than older generations, says Corilyn Shropshire at Business Insider. Millennials have been hit hard by the recession, and are weighed down by ever-growing mountains of student debt. "The lack of financial savvy among Millennials could have a trickle-down effect with detrimental consequences for society," says Hadley Malcom at USA Today.
3. They're natural entrepreneurs
Call it "Generation Sell" — Millennials are less inclined to join a commune or a movement, and would rather start a small business, says William Deresiewicz at The New York Times. Brought up in the "heroic age of dot-com entrepreneurship" that defined the 1990s, and distrustful of "large organizations, including government," the Millennial views small business as "the idealized social form of our time."
4. They're socialists
Looks like the "right-wing cries of 'socialist takeover!' may be based in more than paranoia," says Nona Willis Aronowitz at Good. Polls show that 49 percent of Millennials "view socialism in a favorable light," compared with 43 percent who view it unfavorably. Millennials are also the generation of Occupy Wall Street, the anti-corporate movement, and "it's not hard to figure out why our generation isn't so gung-ho about capitalism — it has disappointed and, in some cases, straight-up failed us."
Narcissistic, broke, and 6 other ways to describe the Millennial generation

BeSafe RFID iPad Security Bag 26 26
Excellent Product This was the hardest purchase for me; researched bags on the Web and in the stores. I am so pleased with my purchase. Good room without being too big (I am only 5 foot!). Lots of compartments to separate items. Good quality. I replaced my day to day bag immediately and have been using as my daily bag for three weeks to familiarize myself with all the options. I do wish the cell phone pocket were larger and not quite so stiff - I am not using it for my cell at all. RFID pocket very nice size and accessible. Strap wide and comfortable on shoulder and cross body. Deep interior - I am using small interior bag to snag all the small vital items in one place or I would lose them in the depths! I love the size and shape of the small interior "lip pocket" but do wish it were just a bit stiffer or had a strap to close it and prevent contents from tipping out. Flap is heavy material and can just be left draped over or slip under the strap provided for a very secure close. This may end up my go-to purse. April 29, 2014
Needs top zipper This bag would be better if it had a zipper at the top, under the flap, to prevent things falling out. Otherwise, it's great. I added a zipper and the opening is still big enough for an iPad to fit in. August 27, 2012
Second time around This is the second time I have purchased this bag. I don't use it for an IPad but as a purse that I can wear on the plane and keep my tickets, passport, money and important papers sorted and safe. It is flat enough that I wear it the entire time I am on a plane, in the airport and traveling. The only problem with my first bag was that the metal in the strap eventually began to poke through at the base of the strap and then was unusable. I liked the first enough so that I ordered another when I saw it for sale. It is perfect for me. July 9, 2014
IPAD bag PLUS it fits my Ipad as well as the case I use as a stand and many other items I'd normally have in a purse. great color. Very easy to find everything with all the extra pockets and zipped areas. I have yet to be disappointed with any purchase from Travel Smith! July 16, 2014
Steel straps=good, poor stitching=bad I bought this bag for a European trip this summer. One week into the trip, the strap stitching came undone and the bag fell off my shoulder. I bought it for the steel straps, but a thief could have easily yanked it off since the stitching was so poor. This was the only purse I brought, so I had to carry a flimsy backpack for the rest of the trip. July 12, 2014
Returning this bag The bag was exactly as advertised. I do not know how it will wear, as I have to return it. The strap is not long enough, I am tall for a woman.. I want the bag to fit along my hip with the strap across my body, not in that awkward spot just above the waist. I have had this problem with another bag ordered from TravelSmith. I would advise their designers to add several inches to the across the body straps, or to provide options. It should fit a shorter woman well. December 20, 2012
Ruined my shirt I was a little disappointed when I got it and realized how tight it was. I also like a bag with more organizer pockets than this one has. What made me decide to return it, however, is that I wore it with the flap up on the pocket for cell phone (a very tight fit) or glasses and I wore it cross-body and the velcro on the pocket made a hole in my brand new shirt! June 12, 2014
Adequate I bought this bag because I liked the security features and the fact that I could fit my IPAD in it. It accomplished those things. However, the fit on the bag was extremely tight. It was difficult to use the outside pocket with the smart phone insert because the material/sizing didn't allow for anything else to be easily accessed in there. the flap strap on the other side made it difficult to access that pocket. The inside was roomy but the entire bag was stiff and difficult to load. It had ample strap length and it was a comfortable size so as long as I didn't have to get anything out of it I was fine. Possibly a little softer material would help although I realize it might compromise the security. I have another bag from Pacsafe and I didn't run in to these issues with it yet it has similar security features. I'll use this one again but will bring a bag to switch to when I'm not as concerned about safety. June 3, 2013

New York, NY, US
I care a lot about details. I love to understand the space, shape, material, and texture. My attention has been balanced between architectural and graphic design and often the discourse of how the two disciplines might meet. My experience in school, travel, and professional work has given me an ability to think personally yet efficiently about these topics.
After graduating from SCI-Arc in 2009, I worked in NYC for several years. I initially did shop drawings, model making, and renderings for an independent furniture designer until being hired by BAM Studio in SoHo. I then left at the beginning of 2012 to pursue my cultural and architectural interests in Japan. I interned for Tezuka Architects in Tokyo, started up Atelier Simple in Osaka, and worked at a wood mill producing traditional Japanese framing systems.
I recently returned to NYC where I plan to find an internship/employment with a firm well suited for my skills and personality. Among others, my more proficient computer skills are AutoCAD, Adobe - Illustrator / InDesign / Photoshop, Maya, and Rhino3D. Please refer to my resume for a more comprehensive list.

Still mulling over the purchase of a next-gen video game console? Perhaps the PS4 and the Xbox One's price tags are a bit too rich for your blood? Then you won't need to look much further than the Nintendo Wii U.
Today, Nintendo announced that they'll issue a price drop on the console of $50 that will arrive as soon as September 20th. However, the price drop is only applicable towards their higher end bundles that cost $350. This includes their 32GB Deluxe Bundle and their The Legend of Zelda bundle.
Nevertheless, $300 is no drop in the bucket and given that the Wii U has seen dismal sales, lack luster games, and a problematic existence, you might want to hold out a bit longer and grab a Playstation 4 on November 15th for $400, or an Xbox One for $500 when and if it launches on November 8th.

Association of Children's Museums
Escape to the museum. When we were growing up going to the museum meant rules: no running, no shouting and, most importantly, no touching. But that's not the case at children's museums where interaction and, yes, touching is encouraged. You're probably familiar with a few local to you, but what about when you're planning a trip? The Association of Children's Museums makes it easy to locate a great museum your children will love wherever you're going.
Museums aimed to stimulate the curiosity and imagination of children have been around since 1899 (the Brooklyn Children's Museum was the first) and they're currently the largest growth trend in the museum world. That's good news for your and your family.
Visit the Associations' website to find amazing children's museums in the U.S. and around the world.

HEY, we've been to that children's museum in the photo (its in Naperville, IL, grandma lives there). It was a lifesaver when we were visiting over the winter holidays and it was too cold to run around outside.
The Indianapolis Children's Museum is great. It has a huge one-of-a-kind Chihuly installation.
The City Museum in St. Louis is fantastic. Everything is recycled and re-imagined into something else. You can climb on anything. There are slides all over the place, secret passages, odd sculptures, an architectural museum - I could go on for days.
For more info: http://www.citymuseum.org/home.asp
For our pictures of the place, go here
My children love the Pittsburgh Children's Museum so much we go back time and time again. Art is integral to the design, and there are things to make, see and do throughout. There are changing exhibitions and we never get tired of it! Especially the water room on the top floor and the mud puddles outside.
The building has won numerous architecture/design awards, and part of the structure resembles a Noguchi Lamp:
and the splash page of the museum is fun too!! (Let's do the chicken dance!) http://www.pittsburghkids.org
I love the Houston Children's Museum. Their toddler area is fantastic. http://www.cmhouston.org

911 Callers Will One Day Send Photos, Text Messages To Dispatchers
It took more than two years to upgrade Minnesota's 911 system, but work just wrapped up. Now, all emergency call centers across the state are connected to the Next Generation 911 network (NG911).
Good Question: Where Are The Extra Charges On Your Cell Bill Going?
When our cell phone bill comes each month, many of us just pay it without a second glance. But if you read it closely, you'll see we're all paying a bunch of taxes, surcharges and fees.
Don't Text 911; You'll Get This Message
If you've ever tried texting a 911 call in Minnesota, you probably didn't get a response. Now the state's four major service carriers are doing something about it.

- How to Read a Study Record
The purpose of this clinical study is to see if an experimental drug, called MM-093, is safe and effective in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis. MM-093 is a genetically engineered version of a naturally occurring protein called alpha fetoprotein (AFP). Adults normally have very small amounts of AFP in their bloodstream. However, during pregnancy, AFP levels in both the mother and the fetus are much higher than normal. It has been observed that women with RA (Rheumatoid Arthritis) have fewer symptoms during pregnancy, particularly during the third trimester. At this time, the levels of AFP in the blood of the mother and fetus are the highest. This observation led researchers to begin examining AFP as a possible treatment for RA.

Water Street
From Cvillepedia
Water Street is a short road in downtown Charlottesville, forming the southern border of the Downtown Mall.
In the west, the road begins at the intersection of West Main Street, Ridge Street, Ridge-McIntire Road, and South Street. It travels west and ends at the southern terminus of 10th Street NE.
Non-motorized use
In the spring of 2011, the street will receive shared lane markings, or "sharrows" indicating bicycles are are using a shared lane with motor vehicles. The marking is being done in lieu of adding bike lanes, which would require on-street parking to be removed on at least one side of the street. [1]

Phi or the golden ratio
For, about 2400 years, humans are fascinated with the number Phi which is calculated as (1+ square root of 5) divided by 2 giving us the result of 1.61803...
Not only is this ratio often used in art, architecture and design, but is also seems to be a common ratio in nature.
What do you think, is the occurrence of the golden ratio in nature just a coincidence or is there more to it ?
If so, what could explain that that this ratio is so common in nature ?
Showing single comment thread. View the full conversation.
Nov 7 2013: Two things can explain why phi is so common in nature.
1. Ask why mountains are mostly cone shaped. 'Phi' may be common in nature as the spatial growth of complex biological systems finds this ratio as the simplest expansion route. It may be argued that other different proportions were blindly tried by nature and they just lost out in the evolutionary trial and error.
2. Another somewhat different but equally plausible cause is related to the fact that most often the claims of accuracy of the proportions in natural bodies to be exactly phi is inaccurate. Arts and architecture are different, they are intentionally created to match this ratio. But on account of a phenomenon called pareidolia our pattern seeking brains conjure up this ratio in nature.
Fritzie's comment is interesting, thanks to her.
Nov 7 2013: There's nothing more satisfying than conceptually describing nature through symmetries, unifying measures and amounts in relation. It gives a sense of control and provides a tolerable paradigm through which we create and interact with the natural world.
The following is a poem I wrote a while back that further illustrates my point:
Groups that Lie, Root their Systems in Vectors gone awry
Conflicts arise, as manifest patterns become the linear structures for life to survive.
Of salient transcription, notational in and of the principally framed
We seek to maintain grandiose, semiotic paradigm's begetting invariant claims
Dimensionally unified, the intangible are expressed by the formulations of mind
Fighting for stasis, a basis for attaining solidification of place in time.

Focusrite Audio Engineering Scarlett 2i2
USB recording interface
The Scarlett 2i2 is a two-in/two-out USB recording interface featuring two award-winning Focusrite preamps. Housed in an anodized aluminum unibody chassis, it is solid enough for the road. The front-panel Neutrik combination input can be used to connect line and instrument level signals as well as microphones. Unique halo signal indicators let you know you have a good signal level for recording. Red means the signal is clipping, and that gain should be reduced. The halo will momentarily turn amber as the level returns to a healthy level, at which point it will turn green. A large monitor dial provides a tactile control for speaker volume, while a high-quality headphone amp provides a clean signal.

New Mexico Resort to Host the First "Gravity" Events
On the Prestigious Shimano National Mountain Bike Series
ANGEL FIRE, New Mexico (May 11, 2007) - Angel Fire Resort today announced that the gravity disciplines of its annual "Chile Challenge" mountain bike event, the downhill and 4-cross, have been elevated to national stature as part of the Shimano National Mountain Bike Series. Slated for Memorial Day weekend, May 26-28, 2007, this mountain bike festival is expected to bring over 1,500 riders and twice as many more biking fans to Angel Fire Resort for extreme downhill and 4-cross racing, plus world-class cross-country, short track and super-downhill competitions. The 2007 Chile Challenge features a cash purse of $8,000 plus a prize purse in excess of $20,000.
"Angel Fire's mountain and biking terrain have been recognized as world-class by bike event organizers and media since long before we hosted the UCI World Cup in 2005," says Dave Dekema, director of marketing for Angel Fire Resort. "We are thrilled to be a part of the Shimano National Mountain Bike Series, and we look forward to working with Bigfoot Productions as we put together a world-class event for both riders and spectators."
Traditionally the kick-off to the Mountain States Cup Series, the Chile Challenge is entering its 19th year as a Rocky Mountain cyclist's favorite. The combination of UCI World Cup courses and media exposure from that event has helped grow the event significantly over the past two seasons. As the first gravity events of the season in the Shimano National Mountain Bike Series (formerly known as NORBA Mountain Bike Series), many of the best riders from around the country will point their fat tires to Angel Fire Resort for three days of intense competition.
Additional race information, including registration and lodging details, will be posted as made available at the Mountain States Cup Series website (RaceMSC.com) or the Angel Fire Resort website (Angelfireresort.com).

Marksmen Vegetation offers a comprehensive vegetation management program tailored for every customer. As an industry leading company Marksmen prides itself on having over 100 combined years of vegetation management experience behind every program we offer. We are an IVMAA and IVMA-Man/Sask member company with active members in presidential and board positions.
Yearly control programs combined with additional services including Integrated Pest Management (IPM) reports, Weed Inspection/Identification, Noxious Weed selective programs, brush clearing, and roadway spraying. By selecting Marksmen as a primary service provider you can be assured quality products are used, Health and Safety standards are industry leading, and extensive industry experience backs every application.contact us for quote
In only one application the tank mix described above will provide season long control of all your weeds. This is backed by Marksmen's warranty program. The annual program mix's herbicides from four different groups giving you total control and reduced chances of weed resistance. Crews only visit your location ONCE for the entire growing season. Other companies will send their crews to your locations 3x to get the same control with a contact program. The ecological footprint, safety concerns and cost of visiting your location 3 x's/ year must be considered. An annual program can be set up in early spring through to late fall depending on your schedule.
On-Site should be added to every herbicide sprayer's tank mix when using residual herbicides. It aids in keeping all the herbicides 'on-site' minimizing off-site movement. The tank mix above is an example tank mix and may be slightly modified in different geographic areas and previous years of herbicides applied.
A contact pesticide is applied to and controls only growing vegetation. Typically requires three - four applications per year depending on the growing season weather conditions. Round-up herbicide is typically the only herbicide in the tank and with repeated treatments weed resistance may occur. The spraying window for contact control is typically shorter, restricted to emergent plant species. There is no warranty for contact programs.
This program is a selective tank mix of herbicides engineered to control only broadleaf weeds. Typically this tank mix is sprayed in ditches/ road sides/berms/ pipelines where grass species are desirable but the broadleaf weeds are not. These are selective herbicides, providing control to such species as: Scentless Chamomile, Oxeye Daisy, Canada Thistle, Common Tansy, Storks bill, Toadflax, and Dandelions. There is no warranty for this program
Marksmen Inc employs a full time HSE Manager and has dedicated staff to follow safety trends and keep records We also have internal safety audits to ensure compliance. We follow HSE and ISNetworld requirements and keep record keeping up-to-date.
All of our staff receive an extensive 10 day Training Program including:
Combined Years of Experience
Years of Operation
Units in Operation
Our equipment is kept up-to-date and is maintained regularly as part of a preventative maintenance program. Our spraying equipment exceeds strict industry standards and looks professional on your locations. As part of the IVMAA registries program all trucks have met the requirements set out in the IVMAA code of standards and good practices.

Pickin' The Corners 03.12.09: NHL General Managers Seek to Return Fighting To Its Proper Place
Posted by
Ian Smart
on 03.12.2009
I don't say it often, but kudos are in order for the NHL GM's for doing the right thing.
Normally, I pay little attention to the recommendations that arise from the annual winter meeting of NHL General Managers. I pay them such little attention with good reason; the products of these meetings are seldom worth mentioning, and the recommendations are typically abhorrent.
Bigger Nets!
Tighter-fitting jerseys!
Teams in places without snow!
Yet this year, I must tip my hat to the General Mangers for doing something that has long been necessary in the NHL: removing what I like to call 'spectacle fighting' from the game.
For those of you unfamiliar with the concept, let me take a moment to explain. Fighting is a part of hockey - it always has been, and it always will be. It is an integral part of the game; a manner by which the game was able to police itself, and an effective method of concentrating the aggression and tension that is created when men crash into each other on skates. It can also be a mechanism that teams can use to deter their opponents from taking cheap shots at their skilled players.
In a rugby scrum, players are bitten, scratched, and stomped on. Linemen in football have been known to attack the eyes, fingers and knees of opponents and if Bill Romanowski can be taken at his word, that is only the tip of the iceberg. Fights in hockey subvert the tendency for players to utilize underhanded tactics to inflict pain on their opponents by instead allowing willing participants to drop the mits and fight. It may seem archaic or barbarous, but it works, and it is an aspect of game that has been woven into the tapestry of hockey. Twenty years ago, most players on an NHL roster would – if the situation dictated- engage in a fight. The best example in my mind, and the one most near and dear to me is Wendel Clark who filled the role as both the Maple Leafs enforcer and the team's top sniper. Clark was never afraid to tangle with the NHL's biggest and toughest, and he could also be counted on for 30 goals. You could put Clark on a line with Doug Gilmour and Dave Andreychuk, and he could supply the firepower and the grit. These players still exist, but over the last decade, fighting has become an evermore-specialized part of the game, and the task of infusing a team with grit and supplying the physical deterrent has been drawn away from these renaissance hockey players (Iginla, Thornton, Komisarek, Ryan Malone) and placed in the hands of a select few "enforcers" who are nothing more than boxers on ice.
Fighting is supposed to occur naturally and spontaneously: one player coming to the defence of another, or because of a physical battle in the corner. However, these 'fight specialists' only enter the fray now at the behest of their coach or because the fight has been pre-arranged, such as the one found below between Brad May versus Krys Barch.
The announcers tell you all you need to know; these guys had all but choreographed the fight before the game. They fought because they are specifically tasked with the job of fighting and nothing else; they are hired goons.
One can argue that these players have been present throughout hockey's history. Dave Semenko was Wayne Gretzky's bodyguard and Joey Kocur kept his job on the Red Wings to ensure that no one dare take a cheap shot at Steve Yzerman, but these men also stepped on the ice and contributed to other facets of the game. Joey Kocur once scored 16 goals in a season; Dave Semenko recorded three seasons with more than 20 points. Cam Janssen, Georges Laraque, and Andrew Peters have a combined 7 points this season (and 42 whole shots!), and with the exception of Janssen don't even supply a physical presence it terms of body checks – Andrew Peters has recorded less than .5 hits per game this season. These players are not NHL calibre talents; they should not been on NHL rosters.
And these are the players who are most afraid of the new rules, because they have nothing to offer but their ability to step onto the ice and fight. Thus, as elucidated by Georges Laraque to TSN yesterday, "this will take the one-dimensional player out of the NHL because that's who they will say starts a staged fight." The proposed rule will penalize players participating in a "staged fight" with an additional ten-minute misconduct, and because players such as Laraque and Peters are such liabilities on the ice under any other circumstance, the only fights they are involved in are of the pre arranged variety.
Will the rules eliminate fighting in hockey? Not by a long shot. Fights will still occur, but only when there is a purpose behind them. Sidney Crosby, Joe Thornton, and even Marian Hossa have all taken the gloves off this season and fought, but they do so only when there is a justification. Players with their skill will not needlessly fight, because they contribute in so many other ways that it would be detrimental to the team for them to be in the sin-bin for a fighting major, unless the fight was justifiable. Teammates are encouraging Laraque, Peters, and Janssen to throw down to give the real players some space on the bench. If a fight needs to occur, it will arise naturally from the play on the ice.
In the 2004 Stanley Cup Playoffs, the Red Wings Derrian Hatcher did everything he could to slow down Jarome Iginla in the offensive zone. He hooked him, crosschecked him, grabbed his sweater, and just leaned on him throughout the first two games of the series. Hatcher likely would have gotten away with it, except when Iggy reached his boiling point late in a 5-2 loss in game two, Iginla stepped up and defended himself against Hatcher, and got the better of the exchange. For the rest of the series Hatcher gave Iginla and extra bit of space along the boards, and in front of the net because he knew that Iginla was not afraid to get physical. Iginla's fight in game two helped to alter the dynamic of the series. A series Calgary would ultimately end-up winning.
Vincent Lecavalier is not known as a physical player, but he is more than willing to defend himself during a game (see below).
Hockey players have grown up and lived through years of their sport. They have become hardened and accustom to the rigours of the game, and the vast majority of them are willing, when circumstances dictate to fight. If it is to defend a teammate, or to defend oneself, or even just to light a fire under their team, players will fight.
And these are the situations when fighting should take place: in the heat of battle. That is what fighting in hockey used to be about, and these new rules, if implemented, will be a step in the right direction towards returning the practice of fighting back to its original intent, and for that I say to the NHL GM's that you might not be so bad after all.
