Hey guys,
I have two grapevines. One is green grapes (not sure what exactly they are) and the other one is a combination of concord and riber. The "green grape" grape vine has 3 weird issues. The first is it has "chicken pox", some missing grapes in each bunch and I just noticed an odd shaped vine of leaves growing from the main vine. (also affected with "chicken pox") These aren't the typical grape vine leaf.
The second vine, "concord and riber" grape vine has missing grapes from each bunch and is rotting halfway through.
The "green grape" vine is over 20 years old and the mix of concord and riber is about 2 years old. What can I do to produce fuller bunches without missing grapes and rid them of the chicken pox and rot? |

I can't see your whole setup nor where you're located, but at that resolution I might see some sort of gall but since we don't know where you are can't work through it. As to the grapes themselves, could be a number of things including pruning, thinning, light availability, and so on but hard to determine with info provided, but if I were to WAG I'd say new vine and provide proper care to get it established to set good fruit... Dan |
- Posted by farmermiller01 none (My Page) on Fri, Jun 24, 11 at 20:16
I'm located in New York. The light isn't the best since it's located behind a garage and the vine has never been pruned , we just let it grow crazy. Here is the "green grape" vine. |
- Posted by farmermiller01 none (My Page) on Fri, Jun 24, 11 at 20:32
I don't know exactly what a "gall" is but it looks like it's rotting from the tip of the grape outwards back to the stem that it grows from. |
- Posted by farmermiller01 none (My Page) on Fri, Jun 24, 11 at 21:15
I think this might be black rot. Any idea how to get rid of this junk? |
The leaves with "chickenpox" are affected by erineum blister mite. On the underside of the raised areas will be a white fuzz which latter in the season turns brown. No treatment because it's insignificant to the vine's health. |
- Posted by dan_staley 5b/SS 2b AHS 6-7 (My Page) on Fri, Jun 24, 11 at 23:05
You need to take care of the vines properly. Once you do that your pest pressure is reduced to predictable levels. I don't see that mite too often in the arid west, but now that we know you're in the humid east, our job is easier. So. Start taking care of these plants properly. That will make it much easier on you. Surely your Co Extension has a handout for you. Dan |

Any tips besides visiting the coop extension? |
- Posted by farmermiller01 none (My Page) on Mon, Jun 27, 11 at 11:38
Well I trimmed the vines back and they suggest some antifungal spray. I don't know if it will salvage this years crop. |

AAA game developers, seemingly, have stopped caring. About originality, about plagiarism, about their place in history. Of course, we can't look into their minds to see if this is true, but we can read the symptoms of this development style, as every year the world's biggest games continue to play it safer and safer.
'AAA' roughly means a big-budget game, costing $30 million or more, expected to sell multiple millions of copies - and it's these games which play safest. Look back at the key games that established the modern genres - Wolfenstein 3D, Dune II, Ultima Underworld, Double Dragon, Grand Theft Auto 3. Then look at the games that put flesh on those bones, fixed the modern genres - Medal of Honor, Command & Conquer, Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind, Deus Ex, Street Fighter II. It's been years since anything significant has been added to these genres. Their successors - Call of Duty: Black Ops, Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, BioShock, Grand Theft Auto IV - are recognisably the same games.
The FPS is today what the platformer was when I started playing games...
Shooters demonstrate the most egregious example of genre stagnation. The first-person shooter is today what the platformer was when I started playing computer games - an accessible format where the tropes are so firmly codified that you can start playing it, knowing which buttons to press and what the objectives are, without a moment's thought. For a developer to succeed in this genre, they need to make a game in which no man is left behind. You'll need a familiar UI, familiar controls, familiar enemy movement, a range of familiar weapons, a vehicle section, two- or four-player co-op, online competitive multiplayer, and you'll probably build the lot in the Unreal Engine 3, which itself brings specific gameplay limitations.
But it's not only the menu that's stagnant - it's the details too, and they're the easiest things to vary. AAA games use the same composers, the same voice actors and the same tired old plots and settings. Skyrim's Jeremy Soule has scored over 70 titles, reliable old Nolan North now has over 100 games listed on his IMDB page, and how many times have you machine-gunned your way through modern or post-modern warzones? How many times have you survived in a post-apocalyptic scarescape? How many zombies have you killed?
And when developers really care enough to fight for innovation, it often makes no difference. The AAA games that don't fit, are forced to. Spec Ops: The Line walks on ground no other shooter has dared to tread, but as lead designer Cory Davis explained to The Verge, even they were forced to accept a superfluous multiplayer mode by publishers 2K. "2K was relentless in making sure that it happened," he explained, "even at the detriment of the overall project and perception of the game... no one is playing it... it's another (different) game rammed onto the disk like a cancerous growth."
But maybe we shouldn't blame the developers. It's rare you'll meet a game developer who doesn't want more from his or her own titles, but games are so big,and so risky, that the ultimate responsibility for getting them made is down to marketing and publishing. If the marketing department is going to spend as much as $100 million on advertising and PR, they want something they can sell easily - something familiar and simple, something you can recognise. How about a scowling white man with a weapon? How about a Team Deathmatch mode?
Maybe we shouldn't expect AAA to experiment. Where indie developers can laser-target niches, AAA games need everyone with a console to buy the game before they can profit. Perhaps, then, the blame lies with us - the players who never reward risks. If you want a change, it's time to take another look at Yakuza, at Bayonetta, at Spec Ops, at Bulletstorm and at all those other games that tried something a little different, even within the tight constraints publishers impose, and for us to reward invention and innovation wherever we see it.

Paul Taylor Dance Company
The quintessentially American Paul Taylor Dance Company returns with Three Dubious Memories, Brief Encounters, and Also Playing by its founder, "the most inventive and versatile choreographer alive today" (The New York Post).
- Tuesday, March 22, 2011 - Thursday, March 24, 2011
- Eisenhower Theater
- 95 minutes
- $22.00 - $65.00
Please use the event calendar to search for current events.
--San Francisco Chronicle
"One of the most intelligent, stylish, and physically magnificent dance troupes we have"
--The Seattle Times
A 1992 Kennedy Center Honoree, choreographer Paul Taylor has for more than 50 years been acclaimed for the vibrancy, relevance, and power of his dances. The New York Times applauds his Paul Taylor Dance Company as "one of the most exciting, innovative, and delightful in the entire world."
The "reigning master of modern dance" (Time Magazine), D.C. native Taylor brings his company back to the Kennedy Center with three DC premieres.
Given its premiere on October 30, 2010, Taylor's Three Dubious Memories is danced to Peter Elyakim Taussig's Five Enigmas, with costumes by Santo Loquasto and lighting by Jennifer Tipton. From decidedly subjective points of view, the protagonists in a love triangle recall their affair, with its triumphs and defeats, differently--leaving us, and them, to wonder what really transpired.
Brief Encounters, choreographed in 2009, features men and women converging at a secret trysting place in the dead of night--not for romance, but to satisfy their pure animal instincts. The New York Times calls it "an essay in the very stuff of theater poetry. What Debussy designated as nursery music here depicts a more adult innocence. Every emotion and meeting seems young, pristine, mysterious."
In his tribute to vaudeville, Also Playing, ballet music by Donizetti propels a Vaudeville revue with acts ranging from an Apache dance and a tap-dancing horse (a true hoofer) to a striptease and flag-waving march. Among the performers are a toreador whose sissy bulls are frightened of her, a dying swan in her lengthy final throes, and a star-struck stagehand who takes a turn with his broom. Choreographed in 2009, the New York Times calls it "the funniest new dance work New York has seen in years."
Performance Timing
Brief Encounters - 22 minutes, followed by a 15-minute intermission
Three Dubious Memories - 22 minutes, followed by a 15-minute intermission
Also Playing - 21 minutes

Get AccessAbstract
Using positron emission tomography and the selective ligands 11C-SCH23390 and 11C-raclopride, central D1- and D2-dopamine receptor occupancy was determined in schizophrenic patients treated with clinical doses of classical and atypical neuroleptics. Treatment with ten chemically distinct classical neuroleptics resulted in a 65–89% occupancy of D2-dopamine receptors. This finding represents strong support for the hypothesis that the mechanism of action of antipsychotic drugs is indeed related to a substantial degree of D2-dopamine receptor occupancy. In two patients treated with teh atypical neuroleptic clozapine, 300 mg b.i.d. and 150 mg b.i.d., the D2-dopamine receptor occupancy was 65 and 40%, respectively. D1-dopamine receptor occupancy was determined in six antipsychotic drugtreated patients. No D1-dopamine receptor occupancy was found in patients treated with sulpiride and perphenazine, compounds known to be selective D2-dopamine receptor antagonists. The highest D1-dopamine receptor occupancy, 42%, was found in the patient treated with clozapine 150 mg b.i.d. The effects of the atypical neuroleptic clozapine may be related to a combined effect on both D1- and D2-dopamine receptors.

Instax Photos of Your Favorite Locations: Segarra, Jakarta
I went to Segarra with my girlfriend. We felt that we needed to get out from the hectic city life in Jakarta so we took a drive to Ancol. This area is still in Jakarta, but you can find a beach and a nice restaurant. There is a nice restaurant called "Segarra" where you can relax and just let loose. Let's escape from the city for a while!

A classic in spite of itself
There's a lot of things wrong with this film, but it is enjoyable despite that.
voice1 -
The Blood of Jesus
One must look past the genre and the age of the film.
The film tells us that there is a Heaven to be won and a Hell to shun. In these last days of Hurrcanes destroying cities, floods and Tsunamis, Iranian threats of nuclear war, mideast terrorism, impending bird flu, mad cow disease, the 911 trajedy, rampant homosexuality, murder in every city, immorality, aids and STD's, devil worship, famines in many parts of the world, wars and rumors of wars (see Matthew 24) ... it tells us that Jesus Christ is coming first to Rapture his true believers and then the Great Tribulation of seven years of unimaginable devastation ending in the Battle of Armageddon and the Second Coming of Christ to save mankind and the Jewish People. We ARE IN those last days and this film brings to mind the decision everyone will have to make ... whether to be born again and be saved, or whether to reject Christ and face an eternity in Hell/Lake of Fire. After viewing the film I was so glad I was saved and it renewed my faith in Jesus and my love for Him. He is coming in the Rapture very soon. The film is fantastic and everyone who has watched it will be accountable to God .
God bless you all.

The Devil and Martha Ann Jackson
This religious all-black cast film from the 40s tells the story of Martha Ann Jackson, a young married woman with a no-good husband. Soon after she gets saved and baptized, she is fatally injured in an accident with her husbandÃÂs hunting rifle. Her soul is taken away by an angel, but at the last minute, God decides itÃÂs not her time yet and lets her go back to the land of the living. There the devil sends his envoy, Judas Green, to lure her to the big city with fancy clothes. There, she goes nightclubbing and a friend of JudasÃÂ offers her a ÃÂjob,ÃÂ but once she finds out what the ÃÂjobÃÂ involves, she runs off to return to the straight and narrow path. Unfortunately, she is mistaken for another female ÃÂemployeeÃÂ whoÃÂs a pickpocket, resulting in many of the nightclubÃÂs patrons taking off after her. At the point between Zion and Hell, she is confronted by the devil, but fortunately, having been saved, she has Jesus on her side, who not only repels the devil, but the angry nightclub patrons as well. Like most all-black cast films IÃÂve seen, this film is a confusing mix of authenticity and stereotypes. Ultimately, though, the sincerity of it won me over, enough to even make up for some of the aspects that bothered me, such as holding up the rural life as an ideal despite the fact that for most African-Americans at the time it was a life of grinding poverty. ItÃÂs obvious that a lot of care went into this, and that the occasional amateurish moments are more artifacts of an extremely low budget than of incompetence or lack of vision. And the music is great, both the gospel music of Zion and the jazz and blues of Hell.
Ratings: Camp/Humor Value: N/A. Weirdness: ****. Historical Interest: *****. Overall Rating: ****.
Old Black Spiritual
I really enjoyed this piece of media. The black spiritual aspects of it really gave me a solemn reflective sense. Sometimes there just isn't anything better than a black spiritual to make you think about the Love of the Lord.

A remarkable treasure
A great film by a great entertainer. The producers of this film exhibit tremendous skill and insight in making a film that says so much, so well. Dry humor, subtle sight gags and a solid script. Above average print and sound condition.

I've finally finished processing the tubers from 250 dahlia plants and I have MANY more tubers than I have room to plant next spring. Have any of you found success selling surplus tubers on Craig's List or at early farmers markets or somewhere else? I will be able to provide color photos of each variety. Thanks, Bill

Download UFO audio book and help fund UFO movie
The Rendlesham forest incident is considered one of the best multiple witness UFO sightings in history, and if you purchase a new audio version of one of the first and most popular books on the event, you will be helping to fund a new UFO movie.
The Rendlesham forest incident took place in the UK in late December of 1980 in a forest area between the Royal Air Force Base's of Woodbridge and Bentwater. At the time both were being leased by the US Air Force. Dozens of witnesses reported UFO sightings, including the deputy base commander. One of the more controversial versions of the event comes from Larry Warren, an airman stationed at Woodbridge at the time. His account includes an actual meeting between extraterrestrials and US military personnel.
Warren's account was documented in a book co-written by UFO researcher Peter Robbins. Robbins had been researching the abduction phenomenon for many years, and was the executive assistant to Budd Hopkins' Intruder Foundation. Hopkins was a pioneer in the field of abduction……

[The following was provided by the Division of Strategic Marketing and Communications.]
WHO: University of Missouri-Kansas City students, staff and faculty
WHAT: UMKC is poised to become a partner in a world-class medical research institute that could transform both the state of medical care, and the economy, of our region. The concept for a proposed Jackson County institute for translational medicine — a collaboration among UMKC, Children's Mercy , Saint Luke's Health System and the Kansas City Area Life Sciences Institute — calls for a half-cent sales tax in Jackson County that would raise an estimated $40 million a year to attract world-class researchers, and to provide them with the equipment and support staff necessary to develop discoveries, treatments and cures. The tax would sunset in 20 years.
WHEN: Jackson County residents will vote on the proposal November 5.
WHERE: The institute would be built on Hospital Hill, near UMKC's Schools of Dentistry, Medicine, Nursing and Health Studies and Pharmacy. UMKC's translational research involves those schools as well as the Schools of Computing and Engineering, Biological Sciences, and social sciences in the College of Arts and Sciences. The Hall family and Hall Family Foundation will donate $75 million for the building if voters approve the initiative.
WHY: UMKC health research is focused on illnesses that affect children and the elderly; and often have a disproportionate effect on minority populations. They include heart disease, asthma, diabetes, glaucoma, osteoporosis, obesity and addiction. With this institute, those treatments will arrive even faster, and they will arrive first right here in this community. It would mean $8 million a year for UMKC research, would bring in more jobs and economic development.
HOW: Vote November 5
QUESTIONS? Read UMKC's website, Translational Research at UMKC.

Warning: Can you wait four or more (financial) years before buying your first home? If you think you might be ready to buy your first home sooner, then don't open a First Home Saver Account (FHSA). You won't be able to withdraw money from the account for your deposit or mortgage repayments; the balance of your account will divert to your super fund.
Please note: this information was current as of August 2009 but is still a useful guide to today's market..
To provide incentives for people to save for their first home, the federal government launched the first home saver account (FHSA) scheme in October 2008. Accounts may be offered by banks, building societies, credit unions, life insurance companies and public offer super funds (not self-managed super funds). They'll set their own fees and interest rates, but have to comply with the government rules for the scheme. To be eligible to open an account you must be at least 18 years old and under 65, have a Tax File Number, and never have owned a home you lived in (you could, however, have owned an investment property if you meet the conditions).
Banks, building societies and credit unions have already started to offer deposit-style FHSAs, similar in most ways to 'normal' savings accounts. We've set a benchmark for the minimum standards we think you should look for from deposit FHSAs. Some of the accounts that fall just short of the benchmark can still provide good returns, but this standard is a guide to accounts that tick all the boxes — for being simple, fair accounts with a comparatively high interest rate:
The table shows how the accounts available so far compare on these criteria. Even after opening an account, you should continue to monitor how it compares with others – you can switch to another FHSA provider if your interest rate becomes uncompetitive.
15 Jan 2008 | If you've got money parked in an everyday transaction account paying next to nothing interest, you could be earning much more by switching to an account with a better rate.
9 Jul 2009 | Many financial institutions now offer debit cards that can be used for transactions through the MasterCard, Visa and EFTPOS systems.
15 Feb 2008 | For most of us, minimising the cost of 'staple' financial services like bank accounts and insurance is important. Here's how to save.

Other surviving wherries
These are the only other wherries that can be seen on the Broads today, and are likely to remain so as no other remains exist in a suitable state for restoration. With just eight left, they truly are an endangered species - please help us to ensure no more are lost.
Note: these boats are not owned or maintained by Wherry Yacht Charter Charitable Trust.
- Albion
The Albion is the traditional wherry, and until the completion of Maud was the only trading wherry in sailing order. She is a classic wherry in form with the black sail that characterised the trading wherries, although she is the only one ever to have been carvel-built - her hull is made with planks that are flush at the seams. She is owned and maintained by the Norfolk Wherry Trust and has, as did many wherries in the past, a link with the Colmans: the Albion used to be a lighter for the mustard manufacturers. Find out more about Albion on the National Historic Ships Register and the Norfolk Wherry Trust home page.
- Maud
Another true trading wherry, Maud must have been very striking during her working years due to her large size. She is now the second traditional trading wherry restored to her original specifications and perfect sailing order. This is because of the wonderful work done by Vincent and Linda Pargeter in saving Maud from her grave at the bottom of Ranworth Broad in 1981. The lengthy restoration gave the Broads a welcome addition to the visible presence of its heritage. More information on Maud's history can be found on the National Historic Ships Register.
- Solace
- One of the largest wherries sailing on the Broads, Pleasure Wherry Solace is lavishly fitted inside with many luxury items. For all of her secluded existence she has been privately owned, with the current owners being only the third family to do so. She is usually found moored in Wroxham Broad in the summer, but is still in sailing order and immaculate condition. More information on Solace can be found on the National Historic Ships Register, and more photos here.
- Ardea
- After several years as a houseboat in Paris, the Pleasure Wherry Ardea returned to Norfolk in 2005. Restoration to full sailing order was completed in 2006, and Ardea is now a striking sight with her unique varnished teak hull (as opposed to painted oak or larch). Ardea's remarkable return was reported by BBC News and the Eastern Daily Press. Our thanks to Simon Pleasants for permission to use the photo - see his Flickr gallery for more.

Hey everyone, my name is Cami, I come to the boards by way of the podcasts.
I'm a huge Disney fan (isn't everyone).
So much so I married a former cast member ;) my husband is a former cast member of the world, and worked everything from attractions, monorail to security. He is now a police officer, and I am an EMT in the great state of North Carolina! Our plans in life are to one day (in 20 or so years haha) retire down in the Wonderful World of Disney and scoop ice cream on Main Street:mickeykid
I have visited WDW more times than I can count, my first trip being in November of 1993 in sixth grade with my mother's family. I didnt return until my friends went into CP then I was there almost every weekend (ah! the days when gasoline was cheap)
now my husband and I honeymooned at All Star Sports Jan 1st 2008 (we got married on New Year's Eve, easy for him to remember) and try to go atleast once a year. From year to year you might catch us in the Star Wars Weekend's parade at Hollywood Studios, as we are members of the 501st, that march every year.
ok well enough about me. see you around the world:mickeykid

Remove Blemishes with a Free Photo Editor
It annoys me when a picture of me is ruined by a blemish. There's a lot "wrong" with this picture. There are some things I can't fix (the goofy look on my face) and some things I could fix but that I don't really mind. But there was one thing that was driving me bonkers and it was super easy to get rid of. The giant spot on my cheek!
If you take digital pictures and have a program like GIMP with a clone stamp tool you can zap zits no problem. I highly recommend downloading GIMP (which stands for GNU Image Manipulation Program) for this and most of your other photo fixing. It's free and it's the closest thing to Photo Shop you're gonna find for picture fixin'. Did I mention it's free?
The clone stamp tool lets you selectively copy (clone) an area of a picture and paste (stamp) it onto another area. So you can clone an area of good looking skin and stamp it over a problem and voila! Problem solved!
In this Tutorial I'm going to turn this goofy picture with a big pimple on my cheek
into this goofy picture with no pimple.
1. Open Your Picture
Go to File>Open and open the photo you want to make blemish free.
There will now be a little version of your image at the bottom of the Toolbox window. This represents your background layer. Right click on the little image and select duplicate layer. (*If you're on a Mac laptop control+click won't work as a right click. Use your mouse pad settings to make a double finger-tap equal to a right click. Alternatively you can go to the main GIMP window and select Layer>Duplicate Layer.)
Doing this gives you an original layer on the bottom, called Background, and a layer on the top called Background Copy. As long as Background Copy is selected and Background is NOT selected, edits you make to the picture will only happen to Background Copy. When a layer is selected it's highlighted in blue like Background Copy is here.
Working on one layer at a time is a good thing. If you do something you don't like to Background Copy that you can't fix with Edit>Undo, you can just delete Background Copy and start from scratch. You should duplicate your background layer any time you open a new image. It's a good safe habit to get into.
2. Get the Clone Stamp Tool
Select the Clone Stamp tool by double clicking on it. It's the icon highlighted in blue here that looks like a rubber stamp. Double clicking should also make a pop up window called Tool Options appear with, you guessed it, options for the stamp tool. I set my brush option to a fuzzy circle (the size doesn't really matter). This will help the stamp blend better on my photo. I'll leave the opacity set to 100% for now and I'll make sure the Source is set to Image. The scale button changes the size of your brush but I don't use it. It's easier to use the left and right bracket keys on your keyboard ( [ and ] ) to make your brush smaller and larger.
3. Select a Clone Source
The source is the area that is copied/cloned. You want it to be similar in texture and color to the area that you want to fix. Making the source close to the area that you're fixing is an easy way to get a good result. At the bottom of the main window there is an option to zoom in or out. I zoom in a lot so I can see what I'm doing and pick a good source. I placed the brush right next to that big spot on my cheek. (Pardon my pixels I'm zoomed in 400% and this is a lower resolution photo.) When the clone stamp brush is in a suitable area press control + click. Your source is set.
4. Stamp Over the Problem
Move the clone stamp brush over the blemish and click. That's it! You've stamped over the blemish and your photo should look all the better for it.
5. Save!!!
You have a few choices here. Once you've stamped over all of the blemishes in your photo you can right click on the Background Copy layer and select Merge Visible Layers. This will merge the two layers you have into one layer so you can save a smaller file. Save it as a tiff file if you know you want to keep these edits but you might want to edit the picture more later. If you know for sure that you're all done editing save as a jpeg. I'll write a post on the whys and wherefores of this saving issue.
If you're still editing and you want to be able to come back and change some more or start from scratch don't merge down. Go to File>Save As and save the file as a .xcf file. This saves the layers you have so you can come back and do more editing later. Once you're all done it's a good idea to merge your layers. Having all those layers makes files bigger and they take up more of your memory.
- Switch the visibility of the layer you're editing on and off by using the little eye icon next to the layer image. Clicking the eye turns off that layer's visibility and makes the eye icon disappear. Now you see the layer immediately below. In this case the layer beneath Background Copy is the un-edited Background layer. Turning Background Copy's visibility on and off lets you instantly see the changes you're making. You can see if you need to edit more or if you're going to far. To turn the layer visibility back on, click where the eye used to be. Layer visibility will turn back on and the eye icon will re-appear.
- Change your source when you need to. You can change the source before you stamp every time to make sure you're selecting a good area. Or you can make the clone source align with your brush. In step 4. my clone brush is an empty square and the source is the square with a cross next to it. If I have Aligned selected at the bottom of the clone stamp options window (double click the clone stamp icon to make this window appear), when I move the clone brush to another part of my face, the source will stay right next to my brush. This can be a nice feature but sometimes you'll need to change the source to get a better tone or texture match for an area. Just control + click again to set a new source.
- Play with the brush settings. Double clicking on the clone stamp icon brings up options for that tool. You can play around with the blending options and you can set the opacity to a lower level. Lowering opacity can be good if an area only needs light coverage. Play with the settings and see what you get. Remember you still have that original layer that's not affected so if you really mess up something that "undo" won't fix, you can always start over. If you have already made some edits that you're happy with, duplicate Background Copy before you start playing with brush options so you won't have to start from scratch if you mess something up.
- Try the clone stamp tool to nix stray eyebrows. I get these a lot. Using the clone stamp tool is like having a pair of tweezers for my photos.
- When you're happy with your work duplicate that layer!! Continue working on the new top layer. If you go overboard or make a big mistake on this top layer, you won't have to start from scratch. You can go back to a version that you were happy with. You can make all the layers you want. Use them! You can even rename the layers as you go so you can keep better track of them. Double click on the text in the layer, like Background Copy, to rename it. I could rename Background Copy "Cheek Clone", and then make another layer to brighten my eyes "Eye Brighten". If I had a zit on my forehead I could fix it in a new layer called "Forehead Clone". You get the idea.
- Don't go over board! Just like too much makeup, too much cloning can look worse than the original problems. When I first discovered the clone stamp tool I stamped out every detail on my face. If I look at those files now I realize I look like I'm made of plastic. It's not pretty.
- Use a light hand at first and come back to the photo a day or two later. If you still think it needs more work right click on the cloned layer (Background Copy) and duplicate it. Make your new edits to the top layer. If think you've gone too far you can get rid of the top layer without removing all of your earlier edits. I often find I like the lighter touch and don't do any more edits beyond the first round.
- This isn't the best tool to do certain things like cover large areas of acne or smooth out bumpy textured skin. Larger areas like the bumps on my cheeks can often benefit from a selective blur which I will explain in another post. For those familiar with makeup, the clone stamp can act like a spot concealer. The blur technique I'll explain is like using a light to medium coverage foundation. You even get to use a mask, which sounds like a spa treatment, and play with the paintbrush!
- Ask Questions!!! If you have a question about a technique or tool, ask away! I certainly don't know everything but I can at the very least set you in the right direction.

Hendrick van Steenwijck the Younger Flemish, possibly 1625 Pen and brown ink, brown wash, and graphite, heightened with white bodycolor on tan paper 4 13/16 x 6 1/2 in. 85.GG.42
In the dimly lit crypt of a church, two soldiers lie sleeping on either side of a chest. A single candle lights the vaulted interior, illuminating the arches and the square tiles of the stone floor. Another flame glimmers weakly, visible through a darkened archway in the background and casting a small glow over a staircase. Hendrick van Steenwijck employed these contrasts of light and darkness to play with the viewer's sense of perspective. Using strong chiaroscuro, he guided the viewer's eye around the scene, from the brilliant glow of the column and ceiling in the middle, back through the arch to the stairs, and finally to the dark interior beyond. Various gradations of light also emphasize the room's tones and textures. Candlelight shows off the joins in the masonry, as well as the cracks in the ceiling, the wood panels in the door, and the gleaming folds of the guard's cloak.

It's a question that's critical to your start-up process and a factor that will always be an issue in your operation: How much should you charge for your products or services? The dynamics of today's business environment--fluctuating costs, value-conscious customers, and strong competition--make the pricing decision more challenging than ever.
The consequences of a poor pricing strategy are obvious: Pricing too high may limit your sales, while pricing too low may limit your profits.
S. P. Raj, professor of marketing at Syracuse University School of Management in Syracuse, New York, says it's easy for new business owners to fall into the trap of overpricing. "They often feel their product deserves a higher price than it really does on the market," he says. "There's also the temptation to try and recoup all your expenses as quickly as possible, not realizing that when the product is overpriced, demand goes down." Recognize the influence emotional attachments and financial pressures have on your pricing policies, and balance them with sound business decisions.
Underpricing carries its own set of consequences. In addition to the impact on profits, not charging enough can create the perception of poor quality, Raj says. On the other hand, reducing the financial risk with a lower price could provide the necessary motivation for many new customers to try your product.
As you struggle with the pricing process, you may feel like you're looking for a magic number that will deliver both sales and profits. As frustrating as it may be, take comfort: Effective pricing is more logic than magic.
Understanding the costs involved in running your business is an essential element of sound pricing and profitability. Consider what you must spend to produce what you are selling (also known as the cost of goods sold, which typically includes raw materials, labor and freight) as well as your overhead expenses (facilities, administration, etc.). Once you know the actual cost of each unit, you can determine how much profit to add to arrive at the selling price--and this is the part that gets tricky.
How much you add depends on the pricing strategy you choose. There are four basic methods, all of which apply to both tangible products and services:
- Cost-plus pricing. Once you've calculated the cost of the product, you add the amount of profit you want to make to arrive at the sale price.
- Demand pricing. Using this method, prices are determined by a combination of sales volume (what you actually sell, measured in units or dollars) and desired profit (how much profit you make on those sales dollars after the costs of goods and doing business have been subtracted). The process requires the ability to calculate in advance what price will generate the optimum ratio of profit to volume.
- Competitive pricing. When the market has already established the price for your product, it's wise to operate within that range. Study each competitor carefully to identify the prices they are charging. You should also determine the degree of price awareness among consumers.
- Markup pricing. Some manufacturers, wholesalers and retailers simply add a set amount (the markup, usually expressed as a percentage of cost) to the cost of a product to reach the final price.
You may find the most effective pricing method is a combination of two or more of the basic strategies. Ernest J. Florestano used cost-plus and competitive pricing when deciding what to charge for the magnetic water-treatment devices his Norfolk, Virginia-based company, Descal-A-Matic, manufactures.
"We did market research to find out what our competitors were charging, then did cost-plus calculations," Florestano explains, "and determined we could price our product in the midrange of the market and still achieve our profit goal."

Domestic Newborn Adoption |
AF Photo GalleryThe annual number of infants adopted domestically (excluding foster and relative adoption) is estimated to be around 18,000 -- far greater than the annual number of international adoptions. Moreover, the process of adopting a newborn in the United States can go more swiftly than you may imagine. In a 2011 Adoptive Families survey, the majority of respondents were matched with a birthmother in less than three months, and 40% were matched less than one month before their child was born. In the majority of U.S. newborn adoptions, adoptive parents are selected by the birthparents of the child, and in at least half of the cases, the birthparents and adoptive parents meet. Domestic adopters usually appreciate the opportunity to build a relationship with their child�s birth family. Ongoing contact is increasingly common, but varies significantly in frequency. Domestic adopters must work with an agency to complete a homestudy, but may choose to work with an attorney for the majority of the process, depending on state laws. Depending on the situation, and the laws of the state where the family lives and where the baby is born, prospective adoptive parents may cover some of the living and medical expenses of the birthmother. For up-to-date state adoption laws in the U.S., see adoptivefamilies.com/adoption-resources.php.

Sponsored by: Missoula Federal Credit Union
Nov 8, 2013 5:24 PM by Mike Powers - KPAX News
MISSOULA - Authorities say that a man suspected of stealing a car in Wyoming is lucky to be alive after a high-speed chase that reached speeds of up to 120 mph ended in a rollover on Interstate 90 in Missoula.
Leon Andrew Harlson, 23 - who has ties to Wyoming, Montana and South Dakota - now faces several charges - including felony theft and illuding an officer.
The 2004 Honda Civic involved was reported stolen from Gillette, Wyoming and was spotted by Montana Highway Patrol Trooper Paul Pfau near Clinton around 8:00 a.m. on Friday.
Court records state that when Trooper Pfau and another officer tried to pull Harlson over, he took off at a high rate of speed and began weaving in and out of traffic.
The pursuit ended when Missoula Police officers placed spike strips across the I-90 - and Harlson tried to avoid them. The strips blew out two tires on the left side of the car, which then crossed the other lane of traffic and rolled over.
Harlson was not seriously injured in the wreck and was later arrested and then booked into the Missoula County Detention Center. Harlson agreed to a blood test, and those results are pending.
The Missoula Police Department is heading up the investigation into the incident.

Lots of different info from lots of different sources as to the right time to lay sod or seed a lawn so I thought I would ask some locals. Is this the right time to seed a lawn? |
Follow-Up Postings:
Usual suggested dates are Aug 15 through Sept 15. Depending upon the weather, sometimes that can be stretched to Oct 15. The longer one delays, the more likely germination will suffer. Download this |
Here is a link that might be useful: maintaining a healthy lawn in western oregon
this year, fall top seeding is basically not going to work too well. unless you water the crap out of your lawn, its typical to wait till the rains start. rainy 70 degree days are good for lawn germination. rainy 60 degree days not so much. seed is decently cheap so i would top seed anyway. tomorrow. |
- Posted by wynswrld98 z7 WA (My Page) on Thu, Oct 11, 12 at 23:38
I've been for waiting for rain to resume in order to overseed my lawn (Tacoma WA area), just did so the past couple of days knowing rain is supposed to start tomorrow. It's disappointing the temps dropped like a rocket but who is to say they'll stay that low? I'm hoping to get it to germinate to keep weeds/moss from invading the areas. I've tried seed when it's dry and it's a very tough thing to keep grass seed wet enough to properly germinate and not overwater to where it's TOO wet, mother nature seems to do it best... |
If you're near Tacoma you're likely to be in Zone 8. The problem here is that it doesn't get consistently wet most of the time until November, at which time it also turns cold and stormy. So if you want to plant while it is still warm you have to water. However, we are supposed to now have at least a week of rain and it is not cold yet. Since full greening of existing lawns and fresh germination of weedy grasses may not be seen until November I wonder how important it is that it be so warm during the sowing of turf grasses. In the past I believe I've seen it stated that you wanted it to at least be in the 50s for germination of grass seed, if this is true 60s should not be such a problem. 70s I have to wonder about, grasses like those used in lawns are oriented to a dry summer, during which their seed stalks dry out - why would such plants be inclined to germinate during warm weather, when it is likely to be dry? You have to water lawns like mad to keep them green in summer here because it is against the natural annual cycle of turf grasses to be green and growing at that time. |

Usually that Aug 15-Sept 15 timeframe for seeding or over seeding is associated with east of the Cascades - west of the Cascades, that is moved out 30 days (mid Sept-mid Oct). This year it is probably not out of line to extend that another couple of weeks :-) Air temps do play a role but it is more important to maintain adequate soil temps to ensure good seed germination and those are much slower to drop. And it doesn't hurt that a later seeding date in this area tends to coincide better with our natural source of irrigation :-) FWIW, sodding can be done any time you can comfortably work in the garden. If it's too cold or too wet for you, chances are the sod will have difficulty establishing as well. Too warm simply means you have to water more often. |
Lots of differing opinions here too :-) but it all goes into the decision maling process. I think I will overseed the old lawn and sod the new part. Many thanks. |
I think that is a good decision kaybradj. Seeding a new lawn now risks being washed out, or at the very least, the seeds being washed away. Sod can be done anytime. I've put it down on prepared frozen ground, and came back a few days later to roll it in when it thawed. Mike..retired landscaper. |

Recent Portland rain has been of the seed-washing-away type. |
Partly sunny in Portland today. You just never know at this time of year, I guess. |
It's not November yet. November is when the hammer falls. |
