Now we can't say anything about him.

With Obama we started out, we couldn't talk about his big ears 'cause that made him nervous. We've gone from that to this: Not only can we not mention his ears...

We can't talk about his mother.

We can't talk about his father.

We can't talk about his grandmother unless he does, brings her up as a "typical white person."

We can't talk about his wife, can't talk about his preacher, can't talk about his terrorist friends, can't talk about his voting record, can't talk about his religion.

We can't talk about appeasement.

We can't talk about color; we can't talk about lack of color.

We can't talk about race. We can't talk about bombers and mobsters who are his friends. We can't talk about schooling. We can't talk about his name, "Hussein."

We can't talk about his lack of experience. Can't talk about his income. Can't talk about his flag pin.

This started out we can't call him a liberal.

The color of plants on other worlds

Mon, 07 Apr 2008 14:16:55 GMT

clipped by: Aribeth
clipper's remarks: What color will alien plants be? The question matters scientifically because the surface color of a planet can reveal whether anything lives there—specifically, whether organisms collect energy from the parent star by the process of photosynthesis.

Photosynthesis is adapted to the spectrum of light that reaches organisms. This spectrum is the result of the parent star’s radiation spectrum, combined with the filtering effects of the planet’s atmosphere and, for aquatic creatures, of liquid water.

Light of any color from deep violet through the near-infrared could power photosynthesis. Around stars hotter and bluer than our sun, plants would tend to absorb blue light and could look green to yellow to red. Around cooler stars such as red dwarfs, planets receive less visible light, so plants might try to absorb as much of it as possible, making them look black.<<

On other worlds, plants could be red, blue, even black

What color will alien plants be?

VARIOUS TYPES OF F-STAR FOLIAGE

If it isn't easy being green on Earth, where chlorophyll is well tuned to absorb most of the energy in our sun's yellow light, imagine the difficulties elsewhere in the galaxy. Plants growing on worlds around cooler, brighter or more tempestuous stars would need to rely on red, blue or even black pigments to survive.

EARTH PLANTS

For our plants, it's easy to be green.

Clip Source: www.sciam.com

TYPE M STARS

Type M stars (red dwarfs) are feeble, so plants on an orbiting Earth-like world might need to be black to absorb all the available light.

Clip Source: www.sciam.com

YOUNG M STARS

Young M stars fry planetary surfaces with ultra-violet flares, so any organisms must be aquatic.

Clip Source: www.sciam.com

TYPE F STAR

Around F stars, plants might get too much light and need to reflect much of it.

SUPERGIANT TYPE F STAR

A shiny, blue-pigmented plant awaits the scorching assault of its supergiant F-type sun.

Artists Using the Full Spectrum

clipper's remarks: "I’m excited by artists who are finding ways to adapt the rainbow spectrum in their work.The color field (or chromatic abstractionist) artists of the 50’s often painted with bold swaths of color but rarely used as many together as the featured artists of this article. In the 60’s, psychedelic art used colors and patterns together too. The modern artists I’ll cover in this post use color in an undiluted, anything but soft array of graphic lines and shapes resulting in work that is both vivid and alluring. Their work circumvents the boundaries their predecessors put in place to arrive at a new and bold take on prior styles."

Modern Color Field: Artists Using the Full Spectrum

Color is so powerful and can be so striking.

Jim Lambie

uses glossy tape in varying colors to build installations

The vinyl tape, an everyday material applied in continuous lines, transforms the dynamics of space, changing a white box gallery space into an energetic/emotional space of sensory pleasure.

Maya Hayuk

Mark Grotjahn

is an artist I found by picking out a beautiful book in a used bookstore

The cover was all rainbow colors, it’s called “Entertainment and art are not isolated. Entertainment is in art like color in pictures”.

Architecture too: The MUSAC Contemporary Art Museum of Castilla y León by Mansilla + Tuñón

I love the way color is integral to the look of the building. I don’t know that much about architecture but color does not seem to be one of the main focal points when buildings are discussed. It’s unavoidable on this one with it’s translucent colored glass. In fact so striking it trumps all other elements of design.

8 Web Design Mistakes That Developers Make

"I Know What Looks Good (and I Have Photoshop)"

It's one thing to be a bad designer. It's a far worse matter to be a bad designer and think that you're good. Every good designer has a well-calibrated "design compass" that comes from constantly looking at good designs.

"Just Use Blue and White Again"

Most programmers scoff at the idea that a designer might spend several hours choosing exact colors for a website. However, colors will always matter more than you think and you can't change them after a site is being built (at least, not without great effort). Like most things, looking at the color schemes of good designers will help, and the best place to look for color scheme ideas is COLOURlovers.

"Use the Free Font...It Looks Fine to Me"

"I'm Not Paying for a Picture"

"No Need to Get Too Detailed"

Choose your eye-color personality

clipper's remarks: Eyes are the window to the soul."No matter what your eye color is, you will have stereotypes that come along with them.You were born with your natural eye color for a reason.Your eye color is unique and fits your personality so do not change a thing."

Green eyes are definitely the sexiest of all eye colors

Clip Source: www.egodevelopment.com

1. BLUE EYES - Blue eyes are the most attractive and the most popular eye color. Blue eyes are a recessive gene so natural baby blues are becoming rare. Since blue eyes are lighter than other eye colors, they attract more attention. People with blue eyes are pretty, adorable and sensitive. Blue eyes do all they can to make other people happy. People with blue eyes are kind, polite and happy company. People with blue eyes can remain calm under the most stressful circumstances.

2. HAZEL EYES:

3. GREEN EYES

Green eyes are very rare and instantly hypnotize anyone who gazes into them. People with green eyes project freedom and mystery. Green eyes are definitely the sexiest of all eye colors. People with gray eyes are strong in nature and leaders. They are able to see both sides of an argument and settle disputes. Directness is their strong suit.

4. BROWN/BLACK EYES:

They are great lovers and they know how to make their partners feel special.

5. Grey Eyes:
