  Steve Smith is Red Green
Red Green was born up north, in the nether regions, in the years just after the war but just before the fighting.
Currently Red and Bernice are happily married without children and living in suburbia, but Red spends most of his time at Possum Lodge taking care of Lodge business and doing his television show and maintaining a safe distance between himself and the nearest factory outlet mall.
Red Green is the leader of Possum Lodge, Chapter 13, a northern Ontario eyesore who's motto is, Quondo Omni Flunkus Mortati (when all else fails, play dead).

Creative Time and Panasonic are proud to present Günther Selichar: Who’s Afraid of Blue, Red, and Green?, an online competition and public art project based on the elementary visual building blocks of digital display screens.
From January 21 — March 31, 2004 (in cooperation with the Landesmuseum in Linz, Austria), Selichar invites participants to design an animation comprised of 15 vertical compositions in blue, red, and green.
Drawing upon Barnet Newman’s abstract expressionist "zip paintings" from the 1960s, Selichar enables participants to create their own digital animations in blue, red, and green, the three pixel colors that enliven our video, computer, and television screens.

 Red-Green Alliance - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The alliance is often based on a shared suspicion of corporate capitalist institutions which the socialists (red) believe promote economic and social inequality and the ecologists (green) believe are exploitative of the environment.
In proportional representation or approval/preference voting democracies, this primary process is replaced by the official electoral process, and the elected candidates from "Red" and "Green" background agree to co-operate in the forming or criticizing of governments.
There are other examples similar to red-green alliances, namely Portugal, where the Greens ran a joint ticket with the Communists, and the Netherlands, where the larger green party, GroenLinks, was formed in a merger of four smaller parties, including green and communist parties.

 Red Sunset, Green Flash
The famous but seldom seen "green flash" or "emerald flash" which occurs just before the last part of the sun disappears from view at sunset is caused by the same atmospheric refraction and scattering effects which produce the red sunset.
Andrew Young contests this, stating that sunsets are so bright and provide so much light even in the green that significant bleaching of the pigment for both red and green may occur, certainly not the conditions for the scotopic or low-light vision.
The green or blue would be seen only after the red image is gone, and the passage time for this 20 arc second band is reported by the Meinels to be about 1.4 seconds.

 EQUIPPED TO SURVIVE (tm) - Green or Red for Better Night Vision?
Green also allows for differentiation between colors that red does not and the magenta used on aviation charts, for example, is readily readable under green light, not always the case with red.
Green or blue-green has a greater capacity to adversely effect night vision because the eye is about 100 times more sensitive to these colors, so even moderately too bright light can have a serious deleterious effect.
Bottom line is that red or green will both perform adequately, but what you really should be more concerned about is to avoid very high illumination levels, of either color, if retaining night vision acuity is your goal.

 Why Do Chinese Like Red and Green?   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
The peculiar tendency of Chinese nation to dye everything with red and green colors is one of a less studied mysteries of the ancient Chinese culture.
Analogously, a global equilibrium of red and green (that unite to generate yellow) is essential for a well-being of Chinese nation.
So, the vital balance of red and green is supported both at micro-levels as spectral content of a regular environment and at macro-levels in social, political and economical spheres.

It is only when they have a sight test at school, or get into an argument with a friend about whether something is red or green, that they find their view of the world does not always match that of other people.
Their everyday lives are also fraught with occasional minor hazards: how to match socks, how to decide whether the power indicator on the stereo is red or green, how to find red golf tees in the grass and how to choose an appropriate colour scheme for decorating the house.

 Spotlight The Red Green Show
Red Green started out as a single character created by Steve Smith for part of a briefly lived sketch comedy show.
Red usually appeared in a cluttered room wearing a rubber duck on his hat and was the embodiment of the male ego.
When he works on his Handyman projects, Red is not stupid, he's just sort of lazy, impatient, and prone to substitute sub-standard items (such as using duct tape instead of nails, screws, bolts, glass, glue, rivets, solder, or welding) so Red's projects are always less than reliable and more than butt ugly.

 Green and red rims
And the red rim also becomes less prominent near the horizon, because the whole disk of the Sun becomes redder, so there's less color contrast between the disk and the lower red rim.
This means that the green rim is attenuated by about a factor of e = 2.718 …, relative to the red disk, at the horizon.
That's because the increasing extinction at short wavelengths never allows the whole green part of the spectrum to appear, at the lower altitudes where the rim is widest.

 Red-Green Coalition (Norway) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Conservatives, the Christian Democrats, Liberals and the Progress party usually call it a socialist coalition, even though only one of the involved coalition partners calls itself socialist.
Red Electoral Alliance, a revolutionary socialist party, feels that "red" is not a descriptive colour for this coalition and therefore uses "pale red".
Similarly, The Green Party and the Liberals (Venstre) claim that these three parties do not deserve the green colour.

 Tea: Red, Green or Black?   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
"Red tea" is the name the Chinese use for what we in the west call "fl tea." All true tea comes from the same plant, Camellia sinensis.
For green tea, the tea leaves are steamed, rolled and dried, a method that preserves the content of polyphenols, antioxidant compounds that confer the well-known health benefits of tea.
The name Rooibos is African slang for the Dutch word for "red bush." In South Africa, Rooibos tea has been used by some tribes for medicinal purposes and by white South Africans for treatment of hay fever symptoms, asthma, eczema and to soothe heartburn, ease the pain of stomach ulcers and relieve nausea.

 BBC News | SCI/TECH | Primate roots of red-green vision
According to a study of chimps and monkeys in the forests of Uganda, red and green vision allows primates to select tasty young red leaves among the green hue of the trees.
It is only a small group of primates, including humans, that can see the full range of colours ranging from red to green as well as blue-yellow.
They found that apes and monkeys can choose fruit using only yellow/blue vision but the animals had to see red and green to find the most nutritious young leaves which often have a tinge of red that sets them apart from the green forest.

 Green Yellow Red Burn Codes
When the Air Quality Index (AQI) is between zero and 79, it`s green and that means it`s okay to light a fire in your wood stove.
But keep in mind that you should always allow enough oxygen for your fire so that it burns "smarter." Never overload the firebox or permit the fire to smolder, as this can emit literally tons of particulates and carbon monoxide into the air that we breathe.
When AQI exceeds 100, it`s red and that means stop all residential and commercial burning immediately.
