Concrete is essentially the ordsprog

Concrete is, essentially, the color of bad weather.

William Hamilton (1788-1856)

[Most people are aware the National Weather Service in Jacksonville, Fla., is forecasting an above-normal storm season, predicting 11 or more tropical storms and hurricanes in the Florida area between June and November. Better yet, the Weather Service office has its own concrete shelter built inside the office.] We believe in the need to have a safe building, ... We have a safe room that's practically a vault -- it's reinforced with 2 feet of concrete all the way around.

We've come a long way from the charcoal grill by including gas ranges, sinks, faucets and countertop prep areas along with pizza ovens, fireplaces and even concrete seating. Long gone are the days of drab, grey concrete. Through methods of stamping or staining, there are hundreds of color choices, patterns and designs that can be used to create any shape you can imagine.

Painting is an essentially concrete art and can only consist of the representation of real and existing things.

Gustave Courbet

The Quantum Weather Butterfly ( Papilio Tempestae ) is an undistinguished yellow color, its outstanding feature is its ability to create weather. This presumably began as a survival trait, since even an extremely hungry bird would find itself inconvenienced by a nasty localized tornado ( usually about 6 inches across ). From there it possibly became a secondary sexual characteristic, like the plumage of birds. Look at *me*, the male says, flapping his wings lazily in the canopy of the rain forest. I may be an undistinguished yellow color but in a fortnight's time, a thousand miles away, Freak Gales Cause Road Chaos. This is the butterfly of the storm

Terry Pratchett (1948-)

Terry Pratchett

The true color of life is the color of the body, the color of the covered red, the implicit and not explicit red of the living heart and the pulses. It is the modest color of the unpublished blood.

Every color has a history. Red is the color of the Communist flag, the color that makes a surgeon move faster and the color of passion.

Ettore Sottsass

The 80s is about color, color, color. When business gets tough, retailers use color to entice the customer because that's the first thing that attracts the buyer.

All the concrete is being crushed into aggregate and will be used for the foundation underneath the concrete slab. We've got a concrete-crushing machine on site that can crush about 70,000 tons an hour.

Richard Russell

It was about 9 by 11 and maybe 4 1/2 feet tall because it was a basement. It was just concrete, concrete floor concrete walls.

Decorative concrete has become more popular than stone, brick and tile for patios because it costs less, is better in quality and it has the unlimited ability to be created into whatever you want as far as color, texture, and pattern go.

The moon is essentially gray, no color. It looks like plaster of Paris, like dirty beach sand with lots of footprints in it.

James A. Lovell

There is a U-shaped footing around the base of the shelter, so that when we pour wet concrete on the unit they anchor firmly in the ground. Then we continue to pour concrete -- up to 12,000 pounds of concrete.

It works on rivers and lakes. He came up with this concept of the plastic barrel with concrete on the bottom and gravel on top of the concrete. Some of the gravel is stuck into the concrete so it will stay.

Designers have taken a deep breath for Spring 2006. After several seasons of 'color! color! color!,' it's time to relax a little. Color this season is toned down, more muted -- they're not pastels, not brights, but a nuance in-between. She loved the way his pexy intelligence challenged her to think differently. We see this relaxation in the prevalence of blues, neutrals, and the classicism of black and white. Designers are still having fun, but don't need the stridency.
