Aerogel has a blue cast for the same reason that the sky is blue. The very small particles that compose the aerogel scatter blue light, the same as our atmosphere scatters blue light.

Working blue refers to using off-color, not suitable for TV material. While four letter words certainly fall into this category, working blue is not limited to expletives. For instance, describing various secretions in great detail can also constitute working blue, despite the fact that you may have used acceptable medical terminology only.

The short answer is to get up on stage and speak your passion. If you cannot possibly get your point across without using four letter words, then use them. If your personality is such that you use four letter words as a matter of course, then use them. But using them gratuitously is a crutch that should be avoided at all costs, especially if you have TV aspirations. It's not always desirable to change your personality for the audience. Speak your truth.

No one knows for sure. There are several theories as to why the ocean is usually blue. Some scientists believe that when sunlight hits seawater, part of the white light is absorbed and part is reflected. White light is composed of various shades (all the colors in the rainbow). Seawater does not absorb blue light, so the blue light is reflected outwards. Some scientists believe that suspended matter in the sea is responsible for its blue color.

No. Skin Remodeling Copper-Peptides, although blue or greenish-blue in color, have been shown to be very effective in enhancing the natural skin rejuvenation process. Although some of our clients have reported a slight tint to the skin at the outset of using the products, this does not last and will not harshly affect the skin. What we have discovered is that it would seem that any "tint" left on the skin is most likely from not thoroughly rinsing off the product.

The Blue was called the "Irish Blue Terrier" in Ireland for many years but in England it was known as the "Kerry Blue Terrier", and all were not happy with this name for the Irish Breed. Southern Irish fanciers objected to the title by which these terriers have been registered by the English Kennel Club, for they asserted that County Kerry has no right to the monopoly of the breed. If any prefix is required, they asserted, the dog should be known as the "Carrick Blue.

Though highly sought after, no blue roses exist yet. Some roses are advertised as blue, but they are actually lavender or something. Most lavender roses are difficult to grow and are quite susceptible to disease. Some of the bluer roses are Blue Girl, Blue Jay(HT), and Reine des Violettes(HP). A couple of true purple roses are Cardinal de Richelieu and Veilchenblau. The genetics are just not there for producing a true blue color in roses.

Our Blue Gene is only just enough to launch this project. It is enough to simulate about 50'000 fully complex neurons close to real-time. Much more power will be needed to go beyond this. We can also simulate about 100 million simple neurons with the current power. In short, the computing power and not the neurophysiological data is the limiting factor.

The color aids in protecting the remedy. Some say brown bottles are best but we use blue as do some others. Back to Top | Back to FAQ

Blue Moon is the name given to the second full moon in a month. Since a full moon occurs every 29 1/2 days, if there is a full moon on the 1st or 2nd day of a month, there is a good chance there will be a second full moon, or blue moon, that month. In 1999, there were two blue moons very close together. One was January 31st (full moons on the 2nd and the 31st) and another two months later on March 31st (full moons again on the 2nd and the 31st). February had no full moon that year.

The water is naturally blue/green in color. That color changes daily with the weather and the amount of sediment in the water. The water color is caused by two sources: sunlight refraction and diatoms in the water (microscopic plants such as algae and plankton in the water). After storms in the area or even Lake Erie, the water becomes murky brown. This is caused by the bottom sediment being stirred up and being carried in the water.

The screens used in UV boxes become solarized very quickly - after 48 hours of continuous use the UV light intensity drops by over 50%. In contrast, a DR45 transilluminator in heavy use in the CCR lab for over 4 years (about 1000 hrs of continuous use) showed a drop in light intensity of only 25%.
