#1 The pros and cons of vitamin supplements05-26-2013, 06:05 PM
By Mark Huffman
Millions of people take a daily vitamin pill. It starts when we're young. Pharmaceutical company Bayer has been making Flintstones vitamins for kids since the 1960s.
People with busy schedules, concerned that they don't get the daily nutrition they need from meals, often take a daily vitamin supplement. Others load up on a particular vitamin for a specific health reason.
Good idea? Maybe. Here's what the National Institutes of Health (NIH) has to say about vitamin supplements:
If you don't eat a nutritious variety of foods, some supplements might help you get adequate amounts of essential nutrients. However, supplements can't take the place of the variety of foods that are important to a healthy diet.

Many people will tell you that their doctor doesn't think in terms of nutrition and might not even be all that well versed in the subject. Doctors identify symptoms and prescribe pharmaceuticals to treat them as a rule.
I'm happy to say that my present doctors studied nutrition and apply it in their work. I take a lot of supplements, not ridiculous amounts, but a lot. I take :
Calcium because my bloodwork says I tend to be low. Since I started taking the calcium, my hands don't cramp up any more and leg cramps (I mean terrible screaming call 911 maybe in the middle of the night) are less frequent.
I take D because I tend to be low, and it helps with all sort of things including weight management.
I take E because I took too much L (iquor) when I was younger.
I take K so I won't rip open my arm and bleed to death from brushing up against a doorway or a Chihuahua's toenail.
I take Omega something or other with Flax and Borage oil just for good measure.
I take a B complex because I don't eat red meat.
I take C because Linus Pauling said to.
I take a very expensive "mega flora" that has to stay in the fridge because a study in Taiwan determined that pro-biotics help kidneys function.
And I take a prescription blood pressure "renal preservative".
I have no idea what all this costs every year. It would probably depress me, but it's less than going to the hospital.
I read a recent study that stated Fred Flintstone Vitamins do nothing for the takers. I take a GNC Mega Men Energy Vitapak every day. it seems to be working for me.
I love my God, my country, my flag, and my troops ....

Smoke Screens aren't exactly uncommon when you have something to hide. Remember Mark McGwire having Creatine in his locker? Everybody assumed that was the cause for his power and he was on the up and up. Who would question a guy about steroids who is on the record as saying he doesn't consider a known steroid user as the true record holder?
I realize this comes off as a big reach, but i just can't shake the feeling he is on something. Like i said, baseball has made me cynical of anybody putting up big numbers.
It's also possible that the age of 27 he's just now hitting his prime.
I mean, if we're all doomed to repeat the kind of performances we give as 23 year olds, this world would be an even scarier place.

Ed Murray, Mayor
SUBJECT: City Attorney announces he will ask court to vacate conviction
Kimberly Mills (206) 684-8602
"On March 6, 2009, Donald Edward Fuller was arrested by Seattle police after an incident that began with Mr. Fuller allegedly jaywalking in downtown Seattle. The Seattle Police Department (SPD) initially referred felony assault charges to the King County Prosecuting Attorney's Office; they were declined. SPD then referred misdemeanor assault charges to the Seattle City Attorney's Office (CAO); they also were declined. At the point the case was declined, Mr. Fuller no longer faced criminal prosecution.
Mr. Fuller filed a complaint alleging officer misconduct with SPD's Office of Professional Accountability (OPA). The OPA sergeant investigating Mr. Fuller's complaint contacted an assistant city attorney and advocated for reconsideration of the CAO's prior decision to decline a criminal prosecution against Mr. Fuller. That attorney agreed to follow up directly with one of the arresting officers and subsequently determined that a sufficient factual basis existed to charge Mr. Fuller with one count of a misdemeanor assault and one count of obstructing a law enforcement officer, based on the March 6 incident.
Charges were filed by the CAO on May 29, 2009, and on March 3, 2010, Mr. Fuller was convicted by a Seattle Municipal Court jury on the obstructing charge and acquitted on the assault charge. Even though the jury convicted Mr. Fuller of obstructing a law enforcement officer and, in my view, there was sufficient evidence presented at trial to support that conviction, the fact remains that Mr. Fuller would not have been charged, tried or convicted of a crime if the OPA sergeant had not contacted the CAO to urge reconsideration of the decision not to charge Mr. Fuller. I understand the SPD and OPA have taken measures to ensure that OPA investigators will not unilaterally intervene in criminal charging decisions against complainants in the future.
There was no prosecutorial misconduct in this matter, and I strongly disagree with any suggestion to the contrary. However, when he filed his OPA complaint, Mr. Fuller was entitled to rely in good faith on OPA's policy that "[f]iling a complaint does not affect other civil or criminal proceedings." As a former member of the OPA Review Board, I understand that it is vitally important for the community to know that neither OPA nor any other arm of law enforcement will retaliate when individuals exercise their rights to complain about police misconduct.
I am taking this action because it is crucial that the public have full faith and confidence in both OPA and the criminal justice system. The CAO will continue to work to build the public's trust in this system." – Pete Holmes

Anna's "After After" Paint Job
If there's anything we love here at Apartment Therapy it is hearing about our readers' projects. Anna wrote in awhile ago first to post a question about which colour to paint her rental home and readers chimed in with plenty of good advice. We then followed again with an "after", a subtle Chantilly Lace. Anna's space has come back with a new set of colours, this time the choice of her new tenants. Tell us what you think about this new shade the house has taken on.
Anna writes: Since I know AT readers, including me, love "After" pictures and also love paint color discussions - and if it's not total overkill - I thought I would share my "After After" pictures too! Our new tenants asked for permission to paint, and since they are wonderful and agreed to paint it back when they vacate, I couldn't say no. They chose a camel color for the living room and dining room (Behr "Oat Straw") and pale gray for the bedroom (Behr "Dolphin Fin"). It's not my style, but I definitely can appreciate that the camel color creates a warmer, cozier feeling, and I also appreciate how well it photographs (the trim really pops!). Thanks again to the AT readers for the help!

Laptop Link needed a new web page design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 47 designs submitted by 12 freelance designers.
We are LaptopLink, a new scheme in the UK. We will facilitate joining laptop repairers with the customer. The scheme works like this:
1. A "LaptopLink" agent, e.g. a mobile phone store, will sign up for free and become a 'Location' (so there needs to be a box somewhere which says find out more and sign up etc.) When they join, they get added to the list and customers will find them by postcode. The location will also promote the fact they now do laptop repair and will be able to accept a laptop on a customer's behalf. The agent will then contact the repairer who will collect and take over the repair. At the end of the job the repairer drops the laptop back to the same location. This costs the customer £20.
2. A repairer who finds their own customers can offer local collection and delivery services via the LocalLink network. The charge is set by the repairer.
3. In addition to 2, a repairer can also offer collection and delivery by post, using LaptopLink to organise this. The charge is set by the repairer.
The Location gets a commission for each drop off and collection, and the customer reviews the whole process (agent and repairer).
We like the following websites, have no idea what you will come up with but simply, these are things we like.
http://www.productshotpro.com/ (clean)
http://mix10k.visitmix.com/ (fresh and bright)
http://laptopdoctors.com/ (competition)
We want the site to be pretty minimal and spacious - its got to be 'fresh' and nicely web 2.0. Please aim at 960px.
:PLEASE ASK ME QUESTIONS!! :) I am quite good at visualising, so if you want to knock up wireframe or drafts to try before uploading final ideas, go for it.
The scheme is split into three segments so I think the home page will need to be too.
1. The Customer
This has pride of place and the site should be designed around them. It needs to explain what we do, how it works and have space to show a review or two, a box to enter your postcode and find your local LaptopLink and get a quote.
2. The Location
This will be a simple "Want to be a Location?" type box with a little text.
3. The Repairer
Similar to The Location, this will be "Want to be a Repairer?" with a little text.
We are looking for a single page that will simplify and distill down the concept - it's obviously got a lot to explain, but actually we think it's pretty easy to explain the customer side:
"LaptopLink is your link to local computer repair."
The customer can look up their postcode and find their local links. We need to explain the process:
1. Find your link.
2. Choose your repairer (if more than one available at that location).
3. Drop off your computer.
4. Have it safely & securely repaired.
5. Repairer returns laptop to Location.
6. Customers collects laptop, fixed :).
A box saying something like "About our repairers: You know your repairer has a workshop within 10 miles of the agent. All repair companies are vetted and have minimum requirements: Qualified & Insured Engineers, Membership of a Trade Organisation with a Code of Conduct, No Fix, No Fee Policy and Guaranteed Labour and 12 months warranty on all hardware repairs."
The usual links (contact us, FAQ etc) somewhere. We are hoping to be "supported by" CompTIA, Brigantia and TCA so might be nice to put it somewhere.
Please use web friendly fonts for the text parts.
Please find attached our new logo.
Our email address will be firstname.lastname@example.com and the phone number is freephone 0800 999 4920.
At the end of the competition we will expect to have a layered PSD file and all 'mouse overs' or icons used. We do not expect you to have HTML coding experience, but please try to keep the designs reasonably simple.

I'm sure I could find some heated debates on this at gc.com but I'm looking for insight from locals.
We've only been doing this a few weeks but I noticed a big difference in the logs posted for caches around Searcy compared to when we were in Springdale and Devil's Den this past weekend. And I'm not even going to touch the basic TFTC stuff on an awesome cameo (rolls eyes), but rather the topic of swag.
In Searcy it looks like barely a mention is made of swag trade, unless maybe for TBs. In the NW caches we logged or I at least researched ahead of time, people give detailed logs regarding what they took and gave. I sorta felt bad because although I made sure my kids made fair trades (and usually put in extra) I couldn't remember later what actually was taken/given. I usually make mention of a trade because the kids have fun with it, but I don't go into detail.
It just really caught my eye and was curious as to other's input.
So, what is with the dichotomy in the logs?

The President's Fiscal Year 2014 Budget: Administration Priorities for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers
Summary of Subject Matter
Opening Statements
Chairman Bob Gibbs (R-OH)
Subcommittee on Water Resources and Environment
Hearing on "The President's Fiscal Year 2014 Budget: Administration Priorities For the
U.S. Army Corps of Engineers"
April 24, 2013
Opening Statement
(Remarks as Prepared)
I am a strong supporter of the efforts by Congress to control Federal spending. However, I feel like this is a belated-Groundhog Day for most of us on the Subcommittee.
Many of the Army Corps of Engineers activities that we are examining today are true investments in America because they provide jobs and stimulate an economic return. For nearly two centuries, the Civil Works missions of the Corps have contributed to the economic vitality of the Nation and have improved our quality of life.
But, once again like Groundhog Day, this Administration has mis-prioritized the projects and programs of the Army Corps of Engineers. I believe we must be supportive of programs that have a proven record of providing economic benefits.
The FY 2014 Budget Request by the Administration for the Corps of Engineers is $4.7 billion. This request is almost the exact same as what was requested in previous budgets.
In 2011, we had some of the worst flooding on record in this country. In 2012, we were struck by several major natural disasters. And in either 2014 or early 2015, it is likely an expanded Panama Canal will become operational.
Yet, the President has learned little from the recent experience of Superstorm Sandy since his Budget proposes investing only a little over $25 million for constructing shore protection projects nationwide. In addition, he sends to Congress a budget that has an ecosystem restoration construction budget that is 4 times larger than its coastal navigation construction budget.
The FY 2014 Budget was where we expected to find the funds to match the Administration's rhetoric on initiatives, like the President's Export Initiative, or the President's We Can't Wait Initiative.
Instead, while the President is proposing $834 million out of the Harbor Maintenance Trust Fund for operation and maintenance activities in FY 2014, just last year in FY 2013, it is estimated the Administration collected $1.85 billion in Harbor Maintenance Taxes, paid by businesses for the purpose of maintaining America's ports. This will not keep up with a growing demand on our ports to accommodate more and larger ships, and will leave the Trust Fund with almost $9 billion in IOU's to the nation's ports at the end of the next fiscal year.
This Administration is not the first to short-change America's water transportation system, but I find it irresponsible for any Administration, or for Congress itself, to not fully spend the tax dollars collected for their intended purpose.
I know we need to find savings, but savings could be found by slowing down work on some environmental restoration projects until the economy turns around.
Instead, the President's Budget prioritizes these activities above navigation. The largest navigation expenditure in the Construction General account is less than $50 million. By comparison, the three largest ecosystem project expenditures in the Construction General account are one project for more than $100 million, one project for almost $90 million, and one project for more than $70 million.
And two of those multi-million dollar ecosystem restoration activities are at the behest of other federal agencies like the United States Fish and Wildlife Service, and the National Marine Fisheries Service.
While we in Congress understand the Corps of Engineers has to comply with the Endangered Species Act and other laws, every year the agency has to spend hundreds of millions of dollars on so-called environmental compliance activities at the whim of other federal agencies with no end in sight. I think the Corps of Engineers needs to know when to say "no."
Budgets are about priorities. A priority of any administration should be to put the United States at a competitive advantage in world markets. But, not one single coastal navigation project in the President's Budget will complete construction in the next fiscal year.
According to this Budget, the coastal navigation system the nation has today, which is the same coastal navigation system we had when this President took office, will be enough to keep the United States competitive when the Panama Canal expansion is complete.
Many of us in Congress disagree. While the President's "Export Initiative" and the "We Can't Wait Initiative" made some promises to the public, unfortunately, many of us in Congress believe the President's Budget does not deliver on these Initiatives. Like Groundhog Day, once again, the President's budget over-promises and under-delivers.

Now that the public ministry is complete and John has reflected on the rejection Jesus has met, a final statement from Jesus is given. It is not located either in place or time (the NIV's then, v. 44, is misleading; the conjunction de is much weaker here). The statement weaves together many major motifs from the first twelve chapters, the main theme being the salvation and judgment that have come through Jesus and that are all grounded in the Father.
Jesus begins by emphasizing his oneness with the Father. Faith is not just in him but in the one who sent him (v. 44). Putting it this way places the emphasis on the Father in such a way as to include the Son, since the Father is described as the one who sent me (cf. Westcott 1908:2:138). Likewise, to see him is to see the one who sent him (v. 45). Here again is the language of agency, drawing on the Jewish notion that an agent is to act in accordance with the intentions of the one who has sent the agent, though Jesus far transcends the category of agent (see note on 5:21). Isaiah was privileged to have seen the Lord in his glory (v. 41), and now it is said that all who have seen Jesus have also seen this glory. Because faith in Jesus is faith in God the cowardice of the would-be believers in the previous section (vv. 42-43) is heinous. This unity between Jesus and the one who sent him grounds this section, as it has the whole Gospel.
Jesus next speaks of the salvation he has brought, using the image of light (v. 46; cf. 1:4-5, 9; 3:19-21; 8:12). He has come into the world as the light. The world is dark precisely because it is alienated from God, who is light. Because Jesus has brought the light of God everyone who believes in him no longer remains in the darkness.
After speaking of the believer Jesus describes two forms of unbelief (Westcott 1908:2:140), described as two responses to his teaching (vv. 47-48). First, there are those who hear his words but do not keep them (v. 47). Such people will listen, but they will not take the teaching into their life and live according to it. The would-be believers in verses 42-43 are one example of such folk. Jesus says he will not judge such a person since he came to save the world, not condemn it (cf. 3:17; 8:15). However, his very presence as the light (v. 46), revealing God, is an exposure and thus condemnation of the darkness. So in fact judgment does take place through him (cf. 5:22, 27; 8:16, 26). "Justification and condemnation are opposite sides of the same process; to refuse the justifying love of God in Christ is to incur judgment" (Barrett 1978:434). Although judgment takes place it is still of the utmost importance to understand that God's intent is salvific. Without this fundamental truth our view of God will go rotten quite quickly.
The second sort of unbeliever is one who out-and-out rejects Jesus by not receiving his teachings (v. 48). To refuse to receive Jesus' word is to reject Jesus himself, just as to refuse to receive the Father's Word, Jesus, is to reject the Father himself. Jesus says, that very word which I spoke will condemn him at the last day. In other words, the judgment will be on the basis of that which had been made available to the person. "The same word which was to save him judges him" (Schnackenburg 1980b:423). The condemnation begins with the rejection (cf. 3:18) and, if one persists in rejecting him, it will lead to condemnation at the last day.
The condemnation works out in this way "because" (hoti), says Jesus, I did not speak of my own accord, but the Father who sent me commanded me what to say and how to say it. I know that his command leads to eternal life. So whatever I say is just what the Father has told me to say (vv. 49-50). In other words, the teaching that these unbelievers reject comes from the Father and offers eternal life. Indeed, the text is even more graphic than the NIV suggests, for it says "his command is eternal life" (he entole autou zoe aionios estin, v. 50). The command has to do with a relationship with God himself and a sharing in his life. It is not just a description of a pattern of life and a demand to conform to it. It is a life that expresses the pattern of God's own character. Since Jesus' teachings come from God and offer eternal life, a rejection of these teachings is itself condemnation, for it is a rejection of God and his offer of life.
This final section has emphasized the words of Jesus, just as the previous section had emphasized his deeds (vv. 37-41). What is said about Jesus and his teachings in this final section echoes sections of Deuteronomy regarding the prophet like Moses who was to come (Deut 18:18-19) and the conclusion of Moses' own ministry (cf. Brown 1966:491-93). "When Moses finished reciting all these words to all Israel, he said to them, `Take to heart all the words I have solemnly declared to you this day, so that you may command your children to obey carefully all the words of this law. They are not just idle words for you--they are your life'" (Deut 32:45-47). The theme of Jesus' superiority to Moses thus returns here at the end of the public ministry (cf. 5:46).
The final words of the public ministry emphasize that the foundation for Jesus' statements, and for his whole ministry, is his oneness with the Father. He has not spoken on his own accord, or, more literally, "from myself" (ex emautou, v. 49). Here is the divine humility of the Son (cf. Chrysostom In John 69.2). "In the first part of the gospel, which here closes, Jesus lives in complete obedience to the Father; in the second part he will die in the same obedience" (Barrett 1978:435).

"Whenever there is a conversation about the future of computing, is discussion inevitably turns to the notion of a 'File'. After all, most tablets and phones don't show the user anything that resembles a file, only Apps that contain their own content, tucked away inside their own opaque storage structure. This is wrong. Files are abstraction layers around content that are necessary for interoperability. Without the notion of a File or other similar shared content abstraction, the ability to use different applications with the same information grinds to a halt, which hampers innovation and user experience." Aside from the fact that a file manager for Android is just a click away, and aside from the fact that Android's share menu addresses many of these concerns, his point still stands: files are not an outdated, archaic concept. One of my biggest gripes with iOS is just how user-hostile the operating system it when it comes to getting stuff - whatever stuff - to and from the device.

RE[3]: Stupid, stupid
by maxz on Sat 30th Jun 2012 09:03 UTC in reply to "RE[2]: Stupid, stupid"
You are the dumbest of dumbasses and shouldn't be allowed to post. You see how stupid your logic is?
Well, his logic isn't all that flawed, in the sense that if you are the dumbest of dumbasses and don't know sh*t about anything, you can't expect things to work exactly as you want. I don't think we should disallow dumbasses to use computers, but should we lower our standards to their level because of their incompetence? I see problems with this.
The more complex a tool is, the more you need to know to use it to it's fullest potential. Yes, you can have a "dumbass-mode" on it, but then you will only use it to level "dumbass-level". (Think of this as only using the "green square mode" on a modern day DSLR, it works, takes decent pictures, but you are not taking advantage of what the camera really can do).
With smart design and user-centric focus you might raise this this level a bit, by you cannot get the dumbass-user to use a tool with the same proficiency as the power-user... ever.
Computers are among the most complex multi-purpose tools widely available today. But education hasn't kept up with availability.
Yes, the files and directories metaphor might be outdated and there might be better ways to do it. Still, you cannot let the OS decide everything. In fact, doing so might create even more problems than today! If a dumbass user writes a second letter, should the OS decide that it should overwrite the last letter written? (they are both letters) If you change a misspelling in a letter, should that be considered a new document, something to overwrite the last document or should it be version managed? (Good luck trying to teach version management to dumbasses). If a user downloads a file from one server onto the device, and then downloads another file from another server but with the same name to the same device. Should the first one be overwritten? (Well, perhaps the device can detect what server the originating data came from and "do the right thing" that works for that specific scenario). What if it is the same server? What if it comes from the same server but the data has changed? (your bank statement for example). If you keep multiple versions of a file in multiple states, how will the OS decide what version the user really needs?
What I am trying to say is that the OS can NEVER anticipate every possible type of situation and for every possible user take the correct action. One user might expect it to work in one way, and another user in another way. You can have self-learning systems, which works well until one user borrows a device from another messing everything up. Remember that OS:es are created by humans, and no human is perfect, ergo no OS is perfect.
So it all comes back to the user knowing what to do and how the OS reacts to different situations. This should be consistent and intuitive. That is what design can do. Just blaming everything as being a UX problem and never take the user into account doesn't solve the problem, it is just hiding from reality.
Also, removing the decision power from a user might be problematic. What if the designer of the system never realized that a user might want to use a tool in a certain way? Should the tool disallow the user to use it then? (Perhaps if the consequences would be catastrophical, but if they are harmless or even beneficial?)
To sum it up: Yes, files/directories might be outdated with modern ways to use devices and there might be better ways to do this. No, uneducated users cannot expect to get the full power out of everything. Yes, this is an extremely complex problem that I doubt will ever get a solution that everyone agrees on.

LOS ANGELES — UCLA says it will replace the floor of Pauley Pavilion that was flooded by a 20 million-gallon water main leak.
Athletic Director Dan Guerrero said Friday that the entire wood floor of the famed court will be replaced by the end of October and no regular season basketball games will be affected.
The floor, two parking structures and other campus facilities were swamped Tuesday when a 30-inch water main on nearby Sunset Boulevard fractured.
Pauley Pavilion underwent a $136 million upgrade just two years ago.

indigo dye is not lightfast
May 2014
Hi -- I love your indigo dye kit, and used it happily two weeks ago, getting some nice deep colors. Afterward I washed all the fabrics thoroughly. Today I noticed that several of the fabrics have faded pretty severely where they're folded, and they're not stored in bright sunlight. This seems to only be happening on 100% cottons; so far, linen and linen/cotton blends are holding their color. I had big plans to do more dyeing, but now I'm hesitant. Help!! :0)
[Deleted User]
May 2014
Hi Fresh,
...this is a new one on me! The fabric is fading on the exposed, top side? No direct sunlight exposure?...I think I'm going to have to put my head together with a couple of the other folks here as nothing comes to mind that might be causing this.
We'll get it figured out, though!
May 2014
Yes, that's exactly what's happening.
Thanks in advance for your help!!

oookay...I will talk with the chemist on Monday...
[Deleted User]
June 2014
Okay, so my conversation with the chemist raised some additional questions.
First, how was the 'flower' on your vat? Did you get a nice thick flower or was it thinner? More like this:
or more like this:
Also, have you checked for wash fastness in either of the fibers? And is the cotton a much lighter weight than the linen/cotton fabric. Last, but not least, did you dye the cotton first or the linen/cotton fabric first?
....we'll get there!
June 2014
Thanks so much for getting back to me. To answer your questions, the flower was thinner, more like the second photos. I have not checked for wash fastness -- I'll go ahead and wash pieces of each fabric and see how they do. One of the cottons that's faded was quite thin, but another was comparable in weight to the linens. And I don't remember the exact order I dyed them in, thought I'm sure one of the cottons (the thin one) was very early on.
Also maybe relevant, I did multiple dips on each piece but found that things didn't really get any darker on subsequent dips (but they were fairly dark after one dip).
I had one thought I wanted to bounce off you guys. The conditions here are very humid -- could that possibly be a factor? The parts of the fabric that are exposed to light are also exposed to more air. Could the Thiox be somehow re-activated by the humidity in the air? The faded sections are a bright blue/green, similar to the color when the dye is part way through the oxidation process, if that makes sense.
[Deleted User]
June 2014
oooohhhh, the blue/green color is telling us something - i think...It seems unlikely that the Thiox could be the culprit - but the green in the color is telling, and baffling. I'm back to the lab - will get back to you later today.
[Deleted User]
June 2014
okay! Sorry for the delay, but I did have a good conversation with the chemist and we both recalled a situation from a couple of years ago when one of our long time clients was having the same problem, should have remembered this right away because it was a BIG deal.
This customer is a teacher who had been using our Indigo very successfully for a number of years in her workshops - she called us panicked - her students were calling to report that the beautiful pieces they'd made during workshop were fading! After much back and forth - having her send samples of the fabric to us dyed and undyed - we discovered that the fabric she was using was a very nice cotton/polyester blend (the company she purchased from labeled it 100% cotton).
As the chemist and I discussed your situation this is the only possibility that makes any sense.
...any possibility this is what is going on with your fabric?
June 2014
Hi, I too am trying to figure out the lightening on the fold.
My tests have proven the indigo fabrics to be totally lightfast sitting in broad sunlight for months on my dashboard, so it is not a lightfastness issue.
I have the yellowing/lightening on linen, on cotton, on silk. The yellowing is in the white parts of the shibori folded fabrics, the lightening on the indigo portions.
I have it on fabric from the first dips from my vat, from subsequent dippings later in the vat, from a re-fed vat, from my 5 gallon vat, from my 35 gallon vat, from a well-tended ph-read vat 3 months into its career...
I've kept the fabrics in very non-direct ambient light, I've kept them, from the start, in a folded-shut pillowcase.
I've used Dharma Dye Fixative as a soak after washing out the indigo dye chemistry, to prevent the crocking, and it happens on those also. (ps, that fixative does a good job against crocking).
This is just a mystery, and I'm hoping to find an answer as well, since our customers here at Dharma are wondering.
It does occur to me that the indigo dyers dyeing kimono fabrics in Japan sell these fabrics rolled, not folded, but while this may be a smart way to prevent the fold-line "bleaching", I cannot assume their indigos would "bleach" if folded.
I have a fabric indigo-dyed in Africa which I have owned and kept folded for years, and this has not been an occurance with it.
Can it be the thiox in fact? I love the special effects that it provides in the form of halos around the indigo when I tie my fabrics, especially if I'm dyeing something already colored by fiber reactive procion mx dyes.
I've also noted, by the way, that indigo-thiox-soda ash dye vat "eats" reds previously dyed into fabric with the procion mx dye.
This list of observances is added to the discussion to hopefully help with figuring this out, I'd so love to have a solution.
Apparently some are suggesting soaking the indigo dyed fabric in hydrogen peroxide, however our customer who shared that with me, who then tried it, said it worked for a short time to eliminate the "bleaching" but that it returned shortly thereafter.
Well, I have always maintained that I am "dyeing for adventure", so I will find a way to enjoy it anyhow, but hopefully this can add to the information your chemist is drawing from.

Thanks so much for your input! I, in response to fresh-eye's questions pulled some of my indgo pieces out, a variety of cottons, rayons and cotton blends and found no (noticeable to me) fading and most of the pieces are several years old.
The chemist and I talked about the thiox being the issue and the only thing that came to mind in the discussion was the possibility that the thiox was less than perfect resulting in an incomplete reduction. While there is a possibility of that being the issue the chemist couldn't figure out how it would be so.
thanks for your input!
June 2014
Thanks so much for chiming in, Lauralee -- I was feeling like I was the only person in the world to have this experience! Just a quick question -- are you having the lightening in *all* the fabrics dyed in the various vats you describe, or just some?
Annette, It looks like I spoke too soon about which fabrics are lightening -- now I'm seeing it on the linen and linen/cotton as well, just not as much. These are all recycled fabrics, so it's definitely possible that some have some hidden synthetic content, but it seems unlikely that they all do (5 different fabrics, and all were labeled natural fibers). I scoured them all well, and they were all originally white or natural colors, but is it possibly a reaction with some previous treatment or dye? Thanks again for your help on this, and I do hope we can get it figured out.
June 2014
Oh my, now I have to go back through my collection and see if any of my fabrics did NOT create lightening. None of mine are recycled, they are all straight off the cutting table at Dharma so they are not laundered in any detergents that would leave residues, were never before dyed.
I'm thinking I see no lightening on the hemp-cotton blend t-shirt I made from scratch, but I previously dyed that in fiber reactive dye (that's the red that looked pink so I thought I'd overdye with indigo to make purple - but it destroyed the pinks and left only the yellow portion of the red to make greens and browns to augment the indigo.)
I'll look at my stash and report back on Monday!
Annette, the lightening that we are reporting is not subtle enough to have to hunt for, it would be easily noticable if your fabrics have it. I'm going to put some effort this summer to trying different recipes - different proportions of indigo to thiox, to see if there is a variable there I can predict. I've seen so many variations on that relationship that I cannot eliminate the thiox element.
Annette, besides looking at the green in the vat, is there a method you can recommend for measuring when the thiox is most effective and when its "working" but not optimal? It is easy to tell with the soda ash, I just use the ph paper, but how about thiox? Even my brand new vat with its radiator-fluid-green is resulting in the lightening.
[Deleted User]
June 2014
With this additional information I think I'm gong to have to set up a couple of vats.
I'm going to have to check in with the chemist to ask about a way to test for viability with the thiox - I do know if the thiox is yellow or yellowish in its dry form that I can't expect much if anything from it, but off the top of my head don't know a way to test once in solution.
Lauralee, are you using the Indigo Kits or making your vats from 'scratch'?
Fresh, glad Lauralee could validate your experience - I know it must be frustrating and am glad she has entered the conversation. As for the fabrics - I suspect, as you do, that it is unlikely that ALL your fabrics have a hidden synthetic content.
We will preserver!!

Hi All,
I'm going to be out of town for the next three weeks so won't be able to do the testing I want to - Just know I've not set this conundrum aside.
September 2014
Hi there!
I've been using Michael Garcia's natural fructose vat and have had similarly disappointing affects long after the dyeing process. The fabric is a 100% organic cotton batiste so is very thin. It is scoured prior to dyeing and the correct pH is maintained though out the dying process. The fading discoloration is the same as everyone here is describing. Pieces that are folded fade and discolor along the folded edges and garments that are hung fade wherever they are exposed to ambient, indirect light. On a rack with many other garments, this usually means they fade along the outside and at the bottom if they are longer. Thought it may be helpful to the diagnosis to know that this is happening with other dyeing methods as well. The person who taught me this technique also has no idea why this could be happening.
June 2015
Hello All,
I see that this discussion is several months old, but I'd be interested in knowing if you ever solved the mystery. I've been using pre-reduced indigo, Thiox and Soda Ash. I've also experienced the whitening/bleaching out at the fold lines. I tried halving my recipe while keeping the amount of water the same, thus diluting its strength. The vat became the nice yellowy-green it's supposed to be. Not much of a flower, though. I've made several vats this way, dyed yards of 100% Robert Kaufman pfd cotton, Dharma 50/50 cotton/linen blend, 100% cotton sateen and some 100% cotton denim. Sometimes I still get the bleaching at the fold line. also if a piece is folded the top side changes. The lighter areas have gotten even lighter or turned white. Some of the lighter shades have gotten a greenish hue. I think these are the same problems the rest of you have mentioned. Has anyone resolved the issue?
Thank you, Rachel

Thanks for your input. We still haven't come up with a solid reason for this fading, especially in light of the fact that it doesn't seem to be a result of exposure to UV.
September 2015
We have been talking about this further and we think that the Soda ash and or the reducing agent being left over in the fabric is the culprit. It is reducing the color once again and is concentrated in the folds just as water or another liquid would be. Our chemist suggests very thoroughly rinsing and adding a dilute amount of vinegar in the rinse to neutralize any soda ash remaining.
October 2015
I have also had these problems. Edges and folds getting lighter, areas getting lighter or turning green.
I rinse my products well, actually I typically let my indigo dyed products sit in dark for about a week before rinsing, then I soak in very hot water with vinegar for a minimum of 30 minutes- this water will actually turn green sometimes. After this I do a hot water wash with synthrapol and then rinse thoroughly and line dry. Since I sell my products, this is a problem.
Sometimes if things have been hanging in the studio for awhile and I am noticing the fading and greenish hues- I do a warm water rinse- believe it or not, everything returns to a brighter blue. I have been "freshening" up my inventory like this on a regular basis.
Someone told me that thiox has a shelf life- so how does one know if the thiox or color remover they are using is fresh. what about Soda Ash? I was also told that my humid conditions (my studio is on the florida waterfront) could be causing my items to continue to oxidize. I have noticed that some of the pieces that I have "freshened" are not fading as quickly and maintaining their bright blue color longer.
October 2015
With the rinse running green, I think that is good evidence that the reducing agent is still in the fabric. It makes even greater sense when you think that the folds are least accessible to the folds where the color is fading. This is making me thing they are definitely being reduced by the reducing agent laying in hiding within the fabric.
October 2015
I recently attended Surface Design Conference where indigo was discussed. Seems that some actually boil their cotton dyed indigo as a last step. Others used the vinegar and ivory soap two step post wash, some re-cooked indigo in orvis paste like a post scour. I am new to dyes, but use the Maiwa organic recipes and vinegar post soak. So far only the light blue colors have a little yellowing on cotton. Silk color is holding.
November 2015
Yes we keep getting more feedback that a little "post dyeing processing" works best if you are having trouble keeping the dye from fading. A wash with vinegar seems to be a common practice.
February 2016
I know there has not been recent discussion on this topic, but I am hoping someone can revisit, and contribute any further information. I am a conservator of Japanese paintings, and used the pre-reduced indigo for the first time for a scroll mounting. I have used many different natural dyes in the past, as well as chemical, and was very excited to use an easier form of indigo. The fabric was a fine silk and the pale blue results were exquisite with the large scale 17th century ink painting.
Imagine our dismay when, during a recent clean-up, we discovered trimmings from the finished scroll that had been left near a window were horribly faded in less than two months. A panicky check of the scroll (mounted face out on a drying board as is customary for several months) showed it had also lost its blue tones and "faded" to a pale greenish teal. The scroll was not exposed near a window, exposed only to our UV filtered work lights in our lab.
I followed the directions in using the pre-reduced indigo with Thiox and soda ash, both pre-washed the silk, then rinsed thoroughly (several hours) after dyeing and used a vinegar rinse in the end.
Because the scroll is a complex structure of silk and paper linings, further rinsing or other chemical tweaking at this point is not an option. The only option is to completely redo the scroll, with newly dyed fabric or to accept the greenish tone. My only other concern is will it continue to fade and revert to the original beige tones of the undyed silk? Any comments would be most welcome!

Hello, I feel I must make you aware of non functional results from Jaquard Co. Indigo tye dye kit purchased f om you.
If it was a one off I would probably chalk it up to experience, but when I see in this forum board several complaints about less than desired results going back to 2014, without resolution,I am questioning the effectiveness of this product.
I purchased two kits to use in a craft class, and we had beautiful results, which then just about disappeared before our eyes ! Talk about heartbreaking. So either the dye is sub standard or the thiox is old ? , something is not right, then the suggestion of setting with vinegar, which is not the recommended method for indigo I find puzzling.
So is this happening because this is a synthetic product ? Welcome a real solution.
Sad Shibori crafter
April 2016
First I would like to dispel a misconception that our dye is synthetic. No we do not use synthetic Indigo dyes. Ours comes from actual plants grown in the ground.
Less than desirable results and fading before your eyes are not the same thing.
Indigo is not a very washfast dye, we know this as jeans fade over their entire lifetime from washing.
Indigo is not a very lightfast dye. Only very carefully preserved Indigo is available from antiquity and those have not seen UV light at all.
Next I would ask is disappearing before our eyes accurate? I have never heard of this. The oxygen in the air keeps it blue. Without being exposed to a reduction agent, this seems impossible. The main hypothesis we have is that maybe some reduction agent is still in the fiber and is doing its job fading the dye when oxygen is not present when the fabric is folded in a closet or closed container with limited oxygen.
A thorough rinsing should be all you need. A rinse with vinegar was suggested as a way to return the cloth to a neutral pH in case that was the culprit. We have been unable to repeat these results with Indigo young or old.
I like keeping this thread going so we can get as much information as possible. If you could outline your procedure, that would be most helpful. A real solution is something we are committed to, but being able to reproduce these results makes us reliant on our customers for their experience.
I for one have done lots and lots of Indigo dyeing and things I have dyed 4-5 years ago, are just fine and still beautiful. I am really interested in solving the issue though, so any new information you provide is extremely valuable. +--
April 2016
I have had the unfortunate case of my shibori indigo dyed SILK disappearing before my eyes- ONLY on silk have I had this problem. Imagine doing an entire stitched piece and after 6 months of being in the studio, the pattern is barely visible. I have not had this problem on cottons or linens.
I am using pre reduced indigo with thiox and soda ash. I am rinising items well.
April 2016
This is so unusual. Chemically I cannot understand it. Indigo can fade in the sun, and it can be reduced to the green form and rinsed, but simply fading makes no sense to me.
How long did it take to fade was it over the course of secs, min, or hours?
May 2016
It was over a course of months. The item was a silk scarf from Dharma. It was scoured before shibori stitching. I completed an elaborate ori-nui pattern then wrapped on an arashi pole. I was very pleased with the pattern. After dyeing and rinsing it was a medium dark blue with alot of white. The scarf hung in my studio for several months; eventually getting lighter and lighter. I noticed it was a light turquoise and white and then after awhile I could barely make out the pattern. I eventually dyed over it.
June 2016
I have new information on this strange phenomenon. We talked to a commercial Indigo dyer who dyes Indigo on a massive scale. This is not about the UV light, it is as we speculated that the reducer is still in the fabric.
He said that commercially, they would never use a basic solution like the Indigo one for protein fibers as it is very hard on them. If you do, you should always rinse with vinegar to readjust the pH of the fabric after the dyeing process as some fellow dyers have suggested above. This not only protects the silk from weakening by the base, it also prevents the reducer from reactivating.
He also said a very thorough rinsing was necessary as reducer can become trapped in the silk. As the silk is exposed to moisture in the air, it absorbs some of that water, which reactivates the reducing agent and causes the color to fade. This is also why the lines appear in the folded fabric. The moisture accumulates in the folds and allows the reducer to come back to life. The original poster said that the conditions were very humid and that indicates that this is what was happening.
Rest assured, with this new information we will be altering the instructions. Many thanks to everyone who contributed to this thread. We would not be aware of this issue if you had not brought it to our attention.
June 2016
Hi Jacquardmod,
From your new information, only silk or any kind of fabric that need to be rinsed with vinegar to readjust the PH after the indigo dyeing process ?
June 2016
Hi Nop,
You would want to do this especially for any protein based fiber meaning anything that comes from an animal. hair based like wool, or Silk that comes from a caterpillar. This is because the high pH of the soda ash weakens the protein fiber. A vinegar rinse won't hurt cotton, but it can still help to maintain the color and keep it from fading.
June 2016
Thanks for your suggestion, Jacquardmod

I've been using the pre-reduced indigo with stunning results on cotton and playing with the chemistry of the indigo vat is super fun. I inherited quite a bit of silk recently and I'm psyching myself up for doing some shibori on it however I wanted to ask, I've seen some conflicting prep methods around the net (googling can be sooooo dangerous!). Besides scouring the fabric, is there anything else I should be doing? I've seen mention of vinegar used as a mordant, hide glue added to the vat and other things which make no sense to me. Any jacquard tips?

Hi Chidyed,
A lot of vat recipes for silk have gelatin or a thickener included. I'm not sure why. Maybe because the dye does not have an affinity to the silk (the way it does for cotton) and so the glue/gum helps it "stick" better to the fabric? I could see this working. When using silk, the colors you get are usually lighter than cotton, so this might be something to experiment with. It is not something I have tried myself.
Vinegar is a good practice after you dye because it lowers the pH and basically stops any of the chemical reactions. It should also keep the silk from being damaged long-term. Vinegar beforehand, or in the bath is a bad idea because the Indigo reaction has soda ash in it and occurs at a high pH. Vinegar would lower the pH and would make the bath less effective.
Hope this helps. Thanks for mentioning the hide glue. Interesting subject.

Hi Jacquardmod,
I have the questions to your indigo product by the following
1. Refer to the indigo dyeing instruction on this page
, it suggests to start setting up an indigo vat in 5 gallon bucket but some sources
advise to prepare the stock solution (concentrated indigo solution) in a small container first, can you tell me what is the difference between 2 methods ?
2. How do you rate/measure your indigo for 60% reduced ? How to calculate the reduced percentage ?
August 2016
1. I have not heard of this, do you have a link for the instructions on making the stock solution in a smaller container?
The reason you would make any dye in a smaller container would be to increase the solubility. Sometimes the dye dissolves better if you use some warmer water to dissolve the dye and then add it to your bath. This is not really as useful with Indigo because when you transfer it to the new container you are exposing it to more oxygen and that inactivates the dye. So, I would think that any added benefit from getting the dye in solution better in the small container would likely get cancelled out by the increased exposure to oxygen when you transfer the solution.
2. This is largely a calculation based on surface area. If you crack open a blue crystal of pre-reduced indigo, the inside is the reduced green shade of the indigo. Because the dye is not vacuum sealed in CO2 or another gas to the exclusion of oxgen, the outer part of the crystal oxidizes to blue. Roughly 60% of the dye is inside the crystal and 40% of the dye is on the surface of the crystals and are blue because they are exposed to air. The hope is that the reduction agent is going to reduce that the rest of that 40%. It is really more of a measure of the surface area of the powder as opposed to measuring how much of the powder is reduced. The point of using pre-reduced of course is that you need much stronger reduction agents, which are more dangerous, if you want to reduce it yourself from the pure blue crystal.

Thanks for your explanation, actually there are a few online resources explaining a preparation of the concentrated indigo solution in a smaller container first. This is the example www.maiwa.com/pdf/indigo_data.pdf (see the page 3), welcome for the more opinion.

Hello Nop,
Yes the process described here is not for pre-reduced indigo, it is for raw natural indigo that is completely oxidized indigo powder. Notice the Lye that is used here. That is a strong base that is necessary to get the Indigo to reduce to it's leuko form(the greenish soluble color). You do not need such harsh chemicals for our indigo because it is already 60% reduced.
They do the reduction in a smaller container so that the chemicals are more potent and concentrated. This is unnecessary with the pre-reduced Indigo, so you can basically move to the next step. Does that make sense?

Hi Jacquardmod,
Thanks for additional opinion.I disturb you one more issue, what is the difference between your pre-reduced indigo and synthetic indigo? Can we notice / separate with bare eyes ? From my information, both need an alkali chemical and reducing agent.
August 2016
Ahh, our Indigo is pre-reduced and is synthetic. I am not sure if I said it wasn't earlier in this thread. Synthetic indigo tends to be smaller crystals, and are a very consistently dark blue color. Natural Indigo tends to be lighter somewhat greenish blue and are usually larger chunks of color.

Be informed, appreciate your support

I tried using your indigo dye kit but the color of the dye never turned the yellow/greenish color, although I let it sit for over an hour after mixing. I still dyed a few things but most of the dye washed out, so they turned out mostly white with some lighter indigo spots.
I had gotten the kit a few years ago and did not use it right away, dose the dye expire? Or is there something else I may have done incorrectly?
August 2016
Hi aj9,
I got a similar call the other day. Did you have 3 powders to mix together? One of the older versions of the kit had only the dye and the reducer+soda ash in only 2 containers. We have learned since then that the kit has a much shorter lifespan if the ash and reducer are in the same package, so we have changed it. 3 separate powders come in the kit now, blue dye powder, reducer, and soda ash.
Also, an older kit can have the dye exposed to moisture. If the blue dye was caked and chunky this could be the problem.

Some online articles said vinegar does not help to keep the indigo color from fading.
So I am confused, do you still confirm this matter ? Or do you have the reliable information to explain ?
Many thanks
August 2016
Yes, the vinegar is not so much to prevent the fading, it is to prevent the high pH from damaging silk of wool which are susceptible to those conditions. The other idea is that the vinegar brings the pH down and that is not good conditions for the reduction, so that may help prevent fading, but that is a very minimal factor.
What we have been finding is that fading is much more likely in high humidity environments and that is why we have trouble reproducing that issue here in CA where it is dry all the time. We get these reports from Houston and Louisiana which have very high humidity. Our working theory is that the water in the air is rewetting some leftover reducer in the fabric and that is causing the color to fade. This was confirmed by an Indigo specialist in the Denim industry. He said a really good washing and maybe multiple rinsings would prevent this. Washing in a detergent such as solar fast wash or synthrapol is highly recommended.

Thank you for the comment so do you also sell the color seal products to maintain an indigo color and is it good to use them ?
August 2016
Hi, I am not sure what you mean buy color seal? Are you referring to a fixative? Indigo is a different animal and fixatives like the Idye fixative do not work well on it. Unfortunately, Indigo can both wash out and fade in UV. There is not a lot to be done about that other than washing in cold water, and keeping it out of long term UV exposure.

Thank you. My kit was one of the older ones and the powder had become cakey too.
