A draft of a major report on climate change, due to be published next year, has been leaked online.
Climate sceptics immediately claimed it contains an admission that much of global warming is a result of the sun's variability, not greenhouse gas emissions. In fact, the report says nothing of the sort. It does, however, show that our understanding of the climate is shifting. And while some future threats now seem less likely, others loom larger.
The report is the latest from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), which releases detailed assessments of climate science every few years. Its last major report came out in 2007, and the next is scheduled to be published, section by section, from September 2013 onwards.
A draft version was leaked online by Alec Rawls, a US blogger who signed up to be an expert reviewer of the next report – something anyone can do.
Rawls highlights a paragraph on page 43 of chapter 7, which he claims undermines the report's main conclusion – that human activity is the main driver of climate change.
The key sentence examines evidence of the link between the sun's activity and climate. It concludes that the link is slightly stronger than previously thought. This suggests positive feedbacks within the climate must make the sun's influence a little larger to fully explain how it affects Earth's climate. Rawls interprets this as an admission that the sun is actually a significant driver of climate change.
Climate scientists are lining up to debunk this claim. "They're misunderstanding, either deliberately or otherwise, what that sentence is meant to say," says Joanna Haigh of Imperial College London, who studies the effect of solar activity on the Earth.
The sun has little effect on global temperatures over human timescales, she says, although – perhaps confusingly – it does have a relatively strong effect on some regions, particularly Europe (New Scientist, 25 September 2010, p 10).
Rawls's would-be revelations actually draw attention away from some much more interesting and surprising conclusions in the draft report.
For one thing, the IPCC has changed its 2007 prediction on droughts. Then, it concluded that a world beset by more intense droughts was "likely". But the authors of the new report have taken heed of recent criticisms that the statistical measure of drought favoured by climatologists is unreliable.
The draft quotes studies that show recent "decreasing trends in the duration, intensity and severity of drought globally".
Another common expectation of a warmer world also bites the dust: more frequent tropical cyclones. In 2007, the IPCC said there had been a "likely" increase in tropical cyclones since 1970, which was "more likely than not" due to global warming raising sea temperatures.
But the new report backtracks. "The [previous] assessment needs to be somewhat revised," it says. After a review of past cyclone counts, it concludes that "tropical cyclone data provides low confidence that any reported long-term changes are robust". There is evidence, however, that the average intensity of cyclones will rise in the years ahead.
Elsewhere, the report reassures us that the ocean circulation, and with it the Gulf Stream, is "unlikely" to collapse in the coming centuries – a doomsday scenario that was "too early to assess" in 2007.
We now have a better picture of the extent to which smogs and other human-made aerosols in the atmosphere shade us from the worst of global warming. The draft says their cooling effect is 40 per cent less than thought in 2007, suggesting this side effect of air pollution has been overstated. That is good news. Less cooling from aerosols means there is less masked warming waiting in the wings for when the skies are eventually cleaned by pollution regulation. It also means the climate is less sensitive to rising levels of greenhouse gases than some have feared.
Other conclusions are more sobering. The report is pessimistic about Arctic sea ice, which hit a record low in September. The IPCC says the Arctic may see ice-free summers by 2100. Even that is too rosy a picture for many climatologists, who expect ice-free summers before 2050.
The IPCC also predicts greater sea-level rise than it did in 2007, as it now includes models of ice-sheet movements.
The draft report says it is "very likely" that the past three decades have all been warmer than any time in the past 800 years; that we could see almost 9 °C of warming by 2300; and that "a large fraction of climate change is largely irreversible on human timescales".
The details of the picture may have changed, but it is still largely bleak.

9 °c - Largely Irreversible?
Mon Dec 17 19:52:23 GMT 2012 by Guy Dauncey
The concluding comment that "we could see almost 9 °C of warming by 2300; and that "a large fraction of climate change is largely irreversible on human timescales"." is alarming in the extreme.
Could Michael or Fred dig back into the leaked draft report, and tell us how large a fraction is largely irreversible? Many thanks.
9 °c - Largely Irreversible?
Tue Dec 18 20:02:00 GMT 2012 by Eric Kvaalen
It's not saying that the 9°C is "largely irreversible". It's saying it COULD happen by 2300. That means it's the worst case scenario.
It seems to me that most of the global warming will go away withing 100 or 200 years of when we stop burning fossil fuel (either because we decide to or because we effectively run out). In that amount of time most of the CO2 will get absorbed into the ocean. However, there will be a residual effect that will be "largely irreversible" because when the sea has more CO2 in it, the air will too, even after full equilibration.
This comment breached our terms of use and has been removed.
9 °c - Largely Irreversible?
Mon Dec 24 10:03:13 GMT 2012 by Duncan
About 50% of our CO2 emissions are absorbed into the biosphere, most of that directly into the ocean by diffusion as described by Henry's law.
The natural mechanisms which remove and sequester CO2 like coal and carbonate rock formation are rather slow. This means that over centuries the CO2 we release will remain in the atmosphere and oceans. Even after 100,000 years 10% will still be unsequestered.

9 °c - Largely Irreversible?
Tue Dec 25 16:42:54 GMT 2012 by Eric Kvaalen
Thanks for the links -- presenting the work of David Archer..
I don't know why you say that about 50% is absorbed. It depends on the time scale, as you yourself indicate. Archer says about 3/4 is absorbed (over more than 100 years), and then it continues to go down due to reaction with carbonate rock and igneous rock. After 100 000 years he calculates that 7% is left.
I calculate that burning 2.4 teratonnes of carbon (about all the available coal, gas, et cetera) will result in about double pre-industrial levels of CO2 in the air after the absorption into the sea. Then, over 100 000 years or more, the CO2 would come down to about the level of today due to reaction with rock and coral reefs.
To bring it down to pre-industrial levels would require conversion of CO2 back into fixed carbon -- the reverse process to what we are doing now.

"Climate sceptics immediately claimed..."
Let's be honest for a moment. We're referring to climate deniers. No need to be P.C., we should refer to them as such. They may hide behind the term skeptic, but they exhibit none of the virtues of true skepticism, particularly the valuing of evidence.

I agree. We have already passed that point.
We need to get over the stage of denial and reach the acceptance stage. Once there, we, humanity can shift to high gear and do something useful to save ourselves.
Why is it human nature to procrastinate so much and wait to minutes from the deadline? It is so frustrating.

Climate change has been packaged (badly) in that this is happening because we're a race of monsters. Specifically you. You're directly at fault for living your life the way you do. This method of selling the idea would have increased the number of people who will go on the defensive against it.
That and the people who have to spend money on it won't want to, so they will argue against it to hold a position (because losing ground can have unpredictably high expenses by comparison to spending money on not losing the ground).
I know it's short-sighted, but many governments want to act like a corporation and many individuals or families want to eat and have shelter.
Procrastination exists because it's often cheaper to wait for an event to go away than to invest in diverting it.

They didn't dare call them "deniers" (implying that they're denying something which is true) because the article says several things which they have been saying all along -- no extra drouths (in fact they're getting less severe), no increase in tropical cyclones, no end to the Gulf Stream.
I'm surprised about the tropical cyclones, since New Scientist told us recently the opposite ((long URL - click here) , see also (long URL - click here) ).

This is a battle for the survival of the fossil fuel industry and the neoliberal ideology driving globalisation and deregulation. It doesn't matter what the IPCC report finally says. All the deniers have to do is highlight uncertainty, selectively attack the existing studies one by one, ignore the weight of the evidence and they'll succeed in delaying any action until it's too late.
The neoliberals will then turn their attention to making a profit from the misery they've caused. Expect to hear a lot from them about the benefits of geoengineering as AGW becomes undeniable.
Predictions Vs Reality
Mon Dec 17 22:54:11 GMT 2012 by Tom Andersen
The graph linked to below with about a billion dollars of research behind it, shows the IPCC forecasts over the years vs reality. Not a great success story. Its just not warming fast enough.
What's 'funny' is that you don't see this graph trotted out at places like New Scientist. Yet this graph is THE central story on global warming - temperature change.
If anyone knows of a better link to this graph - one on a more science - like site, please post.
If this is the main tool to be used to bet trillions of dollars of investment (vs investment in education or malaria), would you bet on the prediction?

Wait, so now you accept graphs from the IPCC all of a sudden? While until now you didn't? Amazing.
Too bad it's just from a draft...
Predictions Vs Reality
Tue Dec 18 17:57:37 GMT 2012 by Trevor
Its not necessary or even expected for the prediction models to exactly match the actual temperature change. Accuracy comes with progress and effort. The reality is that both show an increase in temperature and it doesn't take a large change to make big differences.
Consider that increases in temperature may affect the intensity of further increases in temperature. This means that if the graph were extrapolated to one century rather than 20 years, it would not be linear.
Predictions Vs Reality
Wed Dec 19 01:35:51 GMT 2012 by TwoZeroOZ
I find it very interesting how the denier movement has progressed in terms of their arguments:
First, it was "Co2 does not cause global warming"
Then, "The planet isn't warming at all" or "The planet is actually cooling"
Then, "Human's aren't responsible for the extra Co2"
To finally, "Ok, we are, but global warming isn't so bad"
Tom, you're the perfect example of denialism!
Predictions Vs Reality
Wed Dec 19 02:12:48 GMT 2012 by Tom Andersen
The only thing I am denying is the likely hood of a 3 - 4C rise by 2100 - which is what the IPCC has been claiming. It looks like more of the same (~1C rise) than it does the IPCC prediction of a large green house effect. That's what the graph shows, any astronomer or banker would not bet on the IPCC leaked graph I linked to.
Its funny how there was a story on New Scientist - by Le Page - that pointed out how storms were worsening. When I pointed out that no one had measured any increase, many people jumped on my 'denialist' words. Yet the article above states clearly that the IPCC is now backing down on any measured increases in cyclones.
So where is the denial?

Predictions Vs Reality
Wed Dec 19 06:47:48 GMT 2012 by Eric Kvaalen
A graph of only 22 years, with all the noise that there is, is not enough to extrapolate for 100 years.
As for storms increasing, I pointed out to you right under your comment last month that you were misinterpreting the sentences which you quoted from the IPCC report. It did not say that there was no increase. And by the way, that was talking about storms in general, not just tropical storms, so there may very well be an increase in the number of extratropical storms and tornados even if there isn't an increase in tropical storms. But I admit that I am surprised about the new IPCC statement on tropical storms. It goes against a couple articles in NS (as I mention above).

A billion dollars of research? The IPCC has a budget of millions and the research it draw upon is at most from the expenditure of 100's of millions. All those satellites don't come cheap.
The text of the draft and the place holder Fig 1.4 do not agree, for instance the text says.
"In summary, the globally-averaged surface temperatures are well within the uncertainty range of all previous IPCC projections, and generally are in the middle of the scenario ranges. However, natural variability is likely the dominating effect in evaluating these early times in the scenario evaluations as noted by Hawkins and Sutton (2009)."
So which is incorrect the text or the graph? Most likely the graph because it used 1990 as a baseline but 1990 was a relatively warm year and therefore makes all the projections for periods afterwards look artificially high.

Breakfast links: DePillis extravaganza
Why am I not surprised?
Part of the problem is the siting it inherited, which is the kind of monument-in-a-park deal that was popular during the City Beautiful movement, but it is also designed to be a kind of retreat from the city, to recreate the old site's calm. Unfortunately, this made TWBTA really turn the structure's back on the city.

Is the implication here that if you're NOT in one of the seats set aside for the elderly or disabled (including pregnant women), you DON'T give up your seat? If so, way to miss the forest for the trees.
The issue with the new Barnes Collection building isn't the urbanism, but rather the building. It looks like a 1970's warehouse. Why so many architects are still allergic to decoration is beyond me, but the new substitute seems to be the arbitrarily placed window pattern, on a flat wall of course. As for the urbanism, there are many a diagonally laid streets that make for nice urbanism, it's how the Architect chooses to interpret the site rather than the site itself that fails. Compare the Federal Triangle urbanism to the modernist "tower in the park" parti employed to see how to address diagonals urbanely.

Obsession ~Prints~
Lately I have been working on getting a wall set up in my office with all the prints that I have collected over the last 12 months. It is taking longer then expected due to my fussiness over the frames I want to use and in that time I have come across a number of other prints I would like to add to my collection....
The prints in this store are so whimsical and pretty. They would look gorgeous in a child's bedroom.
From theloveshop- who currently have a two for one sale
Thanks to Gracie for introducing me to this shop through her blog.
I have been wanting this print for over a year now, I think its time to bite the bullet.
I absolutely adore all the prints in Dawn's shop - I think having a collection of her food prints in my kitchen would look really good.
18 comments:
That is so sweet, I agree I've wanted to put up so many pictures and prints on my wall but the frames are quite hard to find or either their expensive. I bet your office would look more like a comfy zone other than just business :) these prints are lovely, I think the 'Keep Calm and Carry On' print would be lovely to add to your collection :)
Thanks for leaving a comment. I read all comments that people take the time to leave. As often as possible I will reply to every comment so make sure you check back for a reply - otherwise feel free to email me at firstname.lastname@example.com

A single woman stood in the midst of an abandoned mini mart within the city, whose windows had been smashed long ago. She wore jeans, filled with holes from wear rather than any sort of fashion choice, and a long sleeve vneck black shirt. Her boots were heavy and manly, kicking up dust on the ground as she walked through the store. Though the most catching thing she was wearing was the black gas mask protecting her tan face. Her bright green eyes shone out from the lenses as she inspected under every turned over shelf looking for canned goods. As she would bend over, her long black hair kept getting in the way, so she tied it up on top of her head and continued. There weren't any footsteps in the dust leading in here, which to her meant it had possibly not been raided in a while and could have something inside. The longer she searched the more she realized she'd probably been wrong. She sighed heavily, the sound more menacing when filtered out of the gas mask.
Axelle was about to give up when she saw some turned over vending machines whose front glass had been broken out. Her eyes lit up when she saw a coke in the back of one and a few bags of sunchips in another. She jogged over to them, digging out the drink and food and checking the expiration dates. The coke wasn't expired, but the sunchips had expired a year ago. She frowned heavily, but figured they couldn't be too bad wrapped up in the foil bags. She pulled the back pack off her back, leaving her bow and quiver on and unzipped it. She stuffed the things she'd found inside and closed it, smiling to herself again as she put it back on. As she was standing back up and dusting herself off, she heard a crunch of a footstep, seemingly on glass. Her eyes widened and she glanced over to realize the noise was coming from outside the store she was in. She looked around, seeing a bathroom door open and raced to it as quietly as she could. She pressed her back against the inside wall, pulling her pistol out from the back of her jeans and holding it pointed towards the floor. Apparently, someone saw her fresh footsteps in the dust leading here. She looked down at the floor, and saw her trail leading right to the bathroom. She inwardly cursed at herself as her heart pounded and prayed whoever she'd heard was just passing by or stupid.

Now in our second year, Sex 2.0, a one-day unconference, will take place on May 9, 2009 in Washington, D.C. Sex 2.0 will focus on the intersection of social media, feminism, and sexuality. How is social media enabling people to learn, grow, and connect sexually? How is sexual expression tied to social activism? Does the concept of transparency online offer new opportunities or present new roadblocks — or both? Sex 2.0 is an unconference, which means that sessions will be informal conversations organized by people attending the event. Session leaders with some knowledge in a subject area facilitate conversations among the participants.
Sessions will include: "Internet Advocacy for Sexual Freedom†with Ricci Joy Levy of the Woodhull Foundation; "Polyamory in Media's Spotlight†with Anita Wagner; "Craigslist Red, Craigslist Blue: Why we should dismantle the "internet red light district†with Melissa Gira Grant and Joanne McNeill; "Kick Ass Twitter Apps†with Cunning Minx; "Revenge Porn†with Maria Diaz; and "Sex Writing Beyond Erotica, Beyond Porn†with Jack Murnighan, Nerve.com editor-at-large. The keynote speaker will be Nikol Hasler, creator of the Midwest Teen Sex Show (http://midwestteensexshow.com). A complete list of sessions may be viewed at:http://sex20con.com/2009-schedule/sessions/
Sex 2.0 will be held in a Washington, D.C. hotel. (To ensure everyone's privacy, location information will be email once you are registered). It will offer five conference rooms, a lounge (with free WiFi), vendor area as well as space for various sex-positive outreach groups to set up informational displays and tables.
The event is managed by volunteers and funded by sponsors. We are pleased to haveSEXTOY.comas our presenting sponsor this year. SEXTOY.com has been focusing on building a relationship within the blogger community with the recent start-up of its sex toy reviewer program. SEXTOY.com is honored to be the official sponsor for Sex 2.0 and looks forward to a mutually rewarding relationship with the blogger Community. Two SEXTOY.com associates will be attending Sex 2.0 this year: Erik Van Riper and Domina Doll; who both look forward to meeting everyone, attending the talks and participating in discussions. Sex 2.0 is also pleased to have community sponsor Bound Not Gagged, hospitality sponsorKimberleecline.comand technology sponsorPosAlt.comsupporting this years conference.

Oh my God, not again, pick some books for Christ' sake and use your brain. Camera is ok, but how can a cube has a property like orientation and direction?? You need two vectors to do this. The 1st is the direction of the camera and the 2nd should be something unknown to be and probably to you. Then you use both vectors as arguments to an operation known as dot product or, alternatively, scalar product.
Posted 19 November 2009 - 07:44 PM
I'm assuming you mean the angel between the vector along which the camera is pointing and the vector from the camera to some point in or on the cube. If you have a vector of length one (a unit vector) describing the direction your camera points and also the point where your camera is located, you can subtract the camera point from the cube point to give you a second vector. Then you normalize that vector (divide it's X,Y and Z components by it's length) to make it a unit vector. Now you take the acos of the dot product of you your two unit vectors and you have your answer.

Facebook can suck my dick!!!!!!! Boy I am so so pissssssssssssssssseddddddddddddddddd offfffffffffffffffffff this morning.
So yesterday, I posted my erotic inspiration on Facebook as well and it turns out they took it down and blocked me from posting for 24 hours. Really???!!!!!! Who in the hell reported me? If you don't like what I am posting then stay the fuck away from my page.
What is so sick about Facebook is that I have reported pages of people posting pictures promoting animal abuse and cruelty and guess what? It's okay to do that. Torturing or abusing animals or making fun of another human being (cyber bullying) does not go against any of Facebook's standards oh but if you post a nude or something even half-way erotic some old bitty gets her panties in a bunch?!!!! You better believe that once that 24 hour block is over I will be posting a rant on Facebook as well.
Okay so know you all have seen the other side of Ivonne–the one who curses like a sailor and is ready to chop heads off.
And this is why I love WordPress!!!!! We can write and post whatever our little hearts desires without the censorship police going,"Oh no, in the adult world this is so no appropriate."
The other thing that has my goat on Facebook, is all the psuedo-spiritual people like my ex Jay Scott Berry ( I love it that on WP I can say his name and no one gets offended) posting all his spiritual meme on Facebook and posing as the next, "Jesus, walking on water" when I know the truth of the kind of person he really is. And guess what?! When I have exposed him to certain people on Facebook you know what happens? I get told I am not compassion enough, I am not spiritual enough, that I need to forgive him. Spiritual my ass!!!!!!!
This world needs fixing. Too many women are raped on a daily basis. Too many kids are both emotionally and sexually abused. We have the Pope of the Catholic Church stepping down and going into hiding to avoid being arrested for sexual abuse charges and I am being told I am not spiritual enough?!!!!! And Facebook is worried because I posted an erotic photo? Seriously!!!!
May it be noted God/Goddess gave me a voice and a big damned mouth and a brain that works and I am going to use both of them. I will not be silenced. I will not let the abuses I see around us go unnoticed or unheard of. So, if you don't like what I have to say, if you don't like my brand of spiritual eroticism, if you don't like all the petitions to stop animal abuse that I post on Facebook or anywhere else then stay off of my pages, stay away from WordPress and get the hell out of my way. Because if you stand in my way rest assured with my Sword of Truth I will be chopping your damn narrow-minded head off!!!!
Oh and have a great weekend by the way.
hugs and kisses to all of my followers and thanks for letting me rant and rage today. I feel better now
love you all

Former Dedham Resident Indicted for Murder in Tennessee
Craig Garber, 41 was indicted on Tuesday for allegedly murdering a family in Tenn.
A former Dedham resident was indicted on Tuesday, Feb. 26, for three counts of first-degree murder and is now awaiting trial. Craig Garber, 41, has been held at Hill Detention Center, a medium-level prison, since September 2012 in Tennessee for allegedly murdering three of his neighbors in Nashville. On Sept. 2, 2012 Garber allegedly fatally stabbed neighbors Michelle Pinkowski, 48, her son, Jonathan Culpepper, 14, and her grandmother, Marylea Jordan, 71. Susan Niland, from the Davidson County District Attorney's Office, said that it can take anywhere between four and six months before a trial can start. "It does take some time, but because of the indictment we should have a trial date within the next couple of days," she said.

PacketFence on Ubuntu
"I want to share with you the process of installing PacketFence on Ubuntu and then how it can be used from the command line to create a powerful network access control system," Jack Wallen says in his Install and Configure Packetfence on Ubuntu Linux article.
PacketFence is a free and open source network access control (NAC) system that was developed for distributions such as Red Hat Enterprise Linux and CentOS; however, as Wallen points out, it can still be installed on Ubuntu.
Wallen spent an entire weekend installing PacketFence on Ubuntu, and even describes the process as one of the single most challenging installation tasks he has ever attempted. That being said, Wallen emphasizes that installing and configuring PacketFence is still a time consuming task, but users now have an easy to follow guide to this process.
More information on installing and configuring PacketFence on Ubuntu can be found in Jack Wallen's guide.

"He's a big man, a good ball carrier and will give us so many dimensions to our set-up. He was a big part of the Samoan team which conquered Australia a fortnight ago and I am delighted that we held out for him," he added.
Despite the arrival of Tu'ifua bringing the number of summer signings to 14, Tait has confirmed he has not finished his recruitment yet.
"Everyone knows we are after a big centre but he has to be the right type of player," said Tait.
"We are again holding out for that player and hopefully we will get something tied up before the season starts."

We're midway through January and Aaliyah would be turning 33 next week if she were alive.
We can't help but think where the superstar would be if that fatal plane crash never happened.
VIDEO: Age Ain't Nothing But A Number! Timbaland Admits To Being In Love With Aaliyah
Aalyiah might possibly be married to her then-boyfriend Dame Dash with kids, touring the world, with tons of Grammys and major movie roles under her belt.
Aaliyah was not only becoming a triple threat, but she was a great spirit and her death is something most of us may never fully recover from.
PHOTOS: Drake Gets Aaliyah Tattoo
Although we are still feeling the loss of such a beautiful artist, we will be celebrating her life and the legacy she has left behind on what would've been her 33rd birthday.
Check out the gallery above to see what other stars share this birthday week with the R&B star.

Get Defensive
A lot has been made out of the Giants' defense in the coming years as a key component to their success. It's a good idea in theory, as the offense looks to be bad for the '08 season and maybe beyond. Any positives gained on the defensive front will be critical to the team. As of now, the Giants' bats… Read more →

Every year eclectic antique loving people flock to Brimfield, MA to hunt and peck through thousands of hidden gems to find the perfect takeaway. The Brimfield Antique Show is the biggest outdoor antique market located in Brimfield, Massachusetts. It takes place three times a year; this year's dates are May 14th-19th, July 9th-14th, and September 3rd-8th. Visitors come from all over the world to find hidden gems and hard sought after antiques.
For the past four years every May, Benjamin Moore & Co. brings together the design community to network, share ideas, and get inspired. This year Benjamin Moore collaborated with Rue La La and Robert Allen and it was an epic success. The room was filled with designers, bloggers, and even a few authors. I had the pleasure of meeting Joanne Palmisano; she is the amazing woman behind the book "Salvage Secrets". If you haven't caught her on the DIY station you need to check out her book!
Benjamin Moore & Co. in collaboration with Colonial Williamsburg has created a brand new color palette that is beautiful, historic, and totally modern. The Williamsburg collection is derived from 18th century colonial America.
"Williamsburg was the thriving capital of Virginia when the dream of American freedom and independence was taking shape and the colony was a rich and powerful land stretching west to the Mississippi River and north to the Great Lakes." (Colonial Williamsburg Website) Today Colonial Williamsburg is a private, not-for-profit, educational living museum that opens its doors to all ages. Since 1932, over 100 million visitors have visited including: Franklin Roosevelt, Harry Truman, Dwight Eisenhower, Lyndon Johnson, Richard Nixon, Gerald Ford, Jimmy Carter, Ronald Reagan, and Bill Clinton.
""It has been very exciting to work with Benjamin Moore developing a paint palette based on historic precedent," said Matthew Webster, Director of the Grainger Department of Historic Architectural Resources for The Colonial Williamsburg Foundation. "Together we developed the colors using almost 90 years of paint research and an understanding of historic production methods creating a palette that embodies the WILLIAMSBURG 'trend meets tradition' theme. It's personally satisfying to see research become reality with a palette that is consistent with colors that would have been found in the 18th century."" (Benjamin Moore & Co. Press Release)
The new Williamsburg collection is now available in Benjamin Moore's Aura, Regal Select, Advance and Grand Entrance paints, as well as samples. Click here to check out the Williamsburg Collection from Benjamin Moore.
Take a look at our photos from our afternoon at Brimfield and if you are in the area there is still time to stop by and treasure hunt!
We are excited to announce a new attribute in the Varatys Virtual Designer: Auto Return to Previous Design Screen. Now your virtual designer users will have no fear if they close out of your virtual designer before saving all their hard work.
One of our main goals at Varatys is to make the user experience as enjoyable and intuitive as possible giving your virtual designer consumers a positive brand experience. We've all been there when you've spent dedication and time on a project and accidentally closed your document/browser/file and had to re-do all of your work. Eliminating a little bit of this sting will make your virtual designer users happier...and don't we all want happy consumers!?
If your virtual designer users close out of your virtual designer completely (whether by accident or not) and return to your virtual designer; they are immediately redirected to their last project. If this happens in a matter of minutes/hours it occurs without a prompt; but if days go by your users will be asked if they want to return to their last design.
In addition, we also have the Auto Save Selection. Your virtual designer users will get prompted by a dialog box if they want to save their work before moving onto a new photo.
Share any impressions or comments about this new attribute and let us know if you have any suggestions for new features!
We understand how important branding is in today's competitive marketplace; that is why we have created a diverse selection of branding outlets in our virtual designer.
Branding is more than a logo; it is an expression of your business, your identity, and personality. "A brand is a kind of promise. It is a set of fundamental principles as understood by anyone who comes into contact with a company. A brand is an organization's reason for being and how that reason is expressed through its various communications media to its key audiences, including customers, shareholders, employees and analysts. A brand can also describe these same attributes for a company's products, services, and initiatives." (The Importance of Branding Your New Business: The New York Times)
In the Varatys Virtual Designer, branding goes beyond a logo; you can customize your landing page image, promote featured products, add custom eCommerce links, give store location information, add your own products, incorporate social media accounts to gain the ever important social media buzz, and yes, even add a logo! You can add as much or as little personality and customization that you want. The more interaction you have with your consumer the more they are going to identify with your brand/company. Take a look at the breakdown of each item below:
Landing Page Image:
Grab your consumer's attention from the start! You can customize your landing page image or video to best represent the message you want to convey.
Featured Products:
You can feature a handful of your company's products on the landing page. By having featured products, you can direct your consumers to product lines that are seasonal, lines that you are trying to push, and/or the most popular products you offer.
eCommerce Links:
You can supply buy links on the Product Detail page. When clicked, a pop-up browser will appear to your website, allowing your users to purchase samples on your website.
Store Locations:
You can add store locations to your virtual designer.
Add Your Own Products:
Companies can import their entire product catalog so that the user has a full view of all of their product offerings. They can customize it by their own categories and subcategories.
Social Media:
If you are already participating in social media outlets, you are probably hard at work trying to gain a bigger online audience. Having the Varatys Virtual Designer embedded on your website will allow your customers to create a digital buzz for you by sharing their projects and your products from our visualizer page on Twitter, Facebook, and Pinterest.
Company Logo:
We make it easy to add your company logo to your virtual designer. If you have your virtual designer set up as a pop-up; adding a logo will continue your consistent branding message while your consumers are outside of your website designing a photo with your products.
Try out one of our demos and/or schedule a personal tour of the Varatys Virtual Designer!

This colorful backsplash adds a thunderbolt of energy to this kitchen.
