Vicki of Manassas, writes:
Hello, I also am searching for a mattress. We currently have a select comfort and hate it. My husband weighs 215 pd and has multiple level disc problems. I just need something that will give comfort and keep in good alignment. He needs comfort, support and a good night sleep. Currently sleeps like a hotdog all night and he would like to be a side sleeper. Help!! What mattress would you suggest? Thanks
Hi Vicki. If he is going to sleep on his side, the Sealy SpringFree Beachside latex mattress would fit the bill for both of you. But with his dics problems, it'll only work for a side sleeper. As a back sleeper, he'll need the more rigid support of an interlocked innerspring....one with just enough padding to sleep comfortably...no pillowtops. The Sealy Posturepedic and lower end Stearns & Foster would be best for that.
We deliver to your area and with NO SALES TAX.

"The invitations are beautiful! The paper quality feels so professional that the Mother-to-be complimented it immediately. She was stunned by the scalloped border and the small touch of the yellow, striped back. It's the little details that make it perfect and this invitation hit the nail on the head. I highly recommend this invitation to anyone looking to host a classy Baby Shower."
"Very pretty card to announce a brunch Baby Shower. The paper quality was great; however the appearance of the glitter gold lettering was lacking on the standard paper. Instead of the overall scalloped edges, I choose the rounded corners which turned out great. I was very happy completed with the invitations!"
"I loved these! Tinyprints mailed them out for me so I didn't have to waste time waiting for them to get to me and then addressing and remailing and such. I was able to reword and change the font to my needs, and I ordered the coordinating 'baby wishes' cards to go with them. Too perfect!"
"Originally I had bought baby shower invitations at a store. They were cute but my handwriting is so bad that after I filled out a few I was disappointed. I wanted something more professional looking. So I went online and checked out some websites. I needed something beautiful and fast. Bingo! The mother to be was thrilled when she saw the quality and design of the invitation and they arrived within 2 days!! Unfortunately to mail the invitations I had to pay extra postage. I didn't realize until I received the order confirmation, that due to the envelope size, additional postage would be required. So that meant a trip to the post office. More time and money spent! But just so you know, there is an envelope that will accommodate the invitation and not require additional postage. Some how I missed that choice in my haste in placing my order. Overall I am super happy with the product!!"
"I loved the 1920's/Gatsby design but needed it to be for my Roaring 25th Birthday -- the Design Team really can make the card unique and beautiful FOR YOU. I went full Gatsby with the Pearl paper, Ticket trim, AND Antique Gold envelopes with the matching Address Labels!"

I made this birthday cake, I put 6 wooden dowels in and the center dowel too with cardboard underneath cakes. It was a chocolate cake with vanilla mousse with berries. It was fine when I moved it and it was sitting for a few hours until client came to pick it. She calls me 20 minutes later and tells me that the cake fell and sent me a picture. My relatives tell me that once the cake it out in clients hands its not my responsibility anymore and I shouldn't feel bad about it because I did what I had to do. I feel like its my fault that I must of done something wrong so what did I do?

I have never heard of this but it sounds like a good fix. Hope it turns out good for your daughter. Jean |

Local law enforcement officers begin this year's DARE program instruction in Moffat County
Saturday, October 16, 2010
Of the training courses Moffat County Sheriff's Office deputy Ryan Hess has taken, he said the Drug Abuse Resistance Education program was the hardest.
"Seriously," Hess said of the two-week course. "We had 10-hour days, and a minimum of six or seven hours of homework every night."
Hess and officers Tony Gianetti, Mike Edwards and Norm Rimmer of the Craig Police Department are local law enforcement representatives of the DARE program.
On Thursday, Hess and Gianetti met with East Elementary School fifth-graders to begin teaching the DARE curriculum. The curriculum will be taught to fifth-graders throughout the Moffat County School District in weekly one-hour classes spread over 10 weeks.
DARE was founded in 1984 in Los Angeles. It is a "police officer-led series of classroom lessons that teaches children from kindergarten through 12th grade how to resist peer pressure and live productive drug- and violence-free lives," according to the organization's website.
The program is taught in 75 percent of school districts across the country and in more than 43 countries around the world, according to the website.
Hess and Gianetti said the program serves two purposes.
Substance abuse prevention is the primary goal, but the program also offers students a chance to see law enforcement officers in a role they might be unfamiliar with, Hess and Gianetti said.
"We do a lot of (public relations) with the kids," Gianetti said. "We come in, sit down and eat lunch. Or, we go out for recess and play football with them, or push them on the swings."
Moffat County Sheriff Tim Jantz said students seeing law enforcement officers in a different manner is important.
"It's letting people see us in a different light than just enforcing the law," Jantz said. "It gives us an opportunity to show that we're caring individuals, that we care about kids and our community."
The sheriff said the DARE program has been taught in Moffat County for more than 20 years.
Regarding the program's main goal, Hess said the curriculum has changed in
recent years.
"The new thing is to focus on decision-making," said Hess, who has taught DARE for four years. "It's not so much on one drug being worse than the other, or (the details) on this drug, this drug or this drug.
"A lot of the lessons are about how to make a good decision. If you are in a tight spot, and you have to say 'no,' what are some ways you can say it and still save some grace, and leave and not have any harm done to you?"
Whether the program works in Moffat County is uncertain. Hess said there is no available data to support or detract from the program's effectiveness.
Jantz, however, believes the program works in the classroom.
"Is it a viable program? Absolutely," Jantz said.
"There are quite a few kids who are going to take it to heart, and there are those that don't. But, this is just one piece of the puzzle.
"We do our part, parents do their part, the school does their part, and society — however you look at it — does its part. I think we're just a small piece of the puzzle, but I do think it's viable, I think it's effective."
Joe Petrone, Moffat County School District superintendent, said he's delighted DARE is a continuing part of students' education. He agrees with Jantz's assessment of the program.
"It certainly is effective, otherwise we wouldn't be scheduling it," Petrone said.

I find it funny that Jantz says "there is no available data to support or detract from the program's effectiveness." Maybe he is only talking about Moffat County, because there have been a number of well-publicized national studies that show DARE does not work. I'm not saying it's a bad thing to tell kids to not do drugs and make good decisions. I just think it's ridiculous to spend money year after year on a "feel good" program that just doesn't work. The Federal Department of Education doesn't even support DARE in the schools!! Read this article, it's pretty eye-opening. http://www2.potsdam.edu/hansondj/Controversies/1077650838.html This is from another study on the effectiveness of DARE "Many experts assert that politics is what has kept the much-criticized program around for so many years, despite a mountain of evidence that it's not only ineffective but sometimes even counterproductive and causing harm to young people. The estimated cost of DARE annually is already $1 to 1.3 billion. That's a lot for a completely ineffective, often counterproductive, program."
Denise Bagley 4 years, 3 months ago
I have to make a correction to my comment. I apologize for saying that Jantz made the statement about the program's effectiveness, when it was Hess.

Garden space is at a premium. I'm sure everyone knows this. I only have about 800 sq/ft. I have a good sized square devoted to squash plants. I'm thinking about planting my potatoes in between the rows of 3x3 grid squash. The squash plants get big, the potatoes get really tall. I doubt one will shade out the other. What do you guys and guyettes think? |
Follow-Up Postings:
What kind of squash? |
- Posted by Bob_In_Colorado none (My Page) on Sun, May 19, 13 at 0:21
Butternut, 8-ball, spaghetti, zucchini, Italian zucchini, yellow crookneck, pumpkins and baby pumpkins |
I think you'd be ok with the zucchini and crookneck, they're usually bushy vs vining, and don't get too monstrous. Butternut, it would depend on the variety - the small-fruited ones are relatively tame plants. But pumpkins, or any of the big, vining winter squash, no. They take over everything, and their leaves will grow taller and taller to take out the competition. I haven't grown 8-ball. |

Thanks David |
I plant squash between the cabbage, Bob. That is, I make a 2nd planting of summer squash between early cabbage plants. The cabbage can be taken out in mid-July and the squash will grow and produce about the 1st of September. You have given me some ideas! My potatoes always seem to be early varieties. I like 'em! So, I begin harvesting about the 1st of August. Could I . . . might I . . . would I be crazy to . . ? What if the early cabbage was harvested and quick-maturing potatoes went in? Would they be good neighbors to the summer squash and make a crop by September? The squash would have a week or so lead on the potatoes but the cabbage kind of "suppress" the squash until they are out of the way. I'd have to do some shopping for sprouting spuds in early July. Hmmm. . . . Steve |
- Posted by Bob_In_Colorado none (My Page) on Sun, May 19, 13 at 21:39
I think I'm going to try planting one row between my squashes. They are in a 12'x12' area, each in about a 3'x3' area. My potatoes grew very tall last year and the squashi are growing from seed. The potatoes are German Butterball, so they're smaller anyways. |

The stripping of electrodeposited and flame-sprayed coatings is a necessary part of surface finishing. Stripping may be required to allow for the re-plating of a part rejected due to defective finishing or as part of rework processes such as those commonly conducted by airline/aerospace facilities. This paper discusses stripping methods and operational considerations in their use.
Cadmium / cadmium alloy
Nickel / electroless nickel
HVOF spray

text: It has literally become a world-wide phenomenon! The Ice Bucket Challenge is everywhere! So why was I even a little surprised when my friend Yvonne, who has some "fancy government job", called out "little old me" to take the ice bath? Oh well, I have always been a guy who loves to help others and do my part! I actually did research on the event. Here's how it works, in case you don't know. Once a person is challenged, they have 24 hours to pour a bucket of ice water over their heads, and film it. They then are responsible to send $10 in a donation to the ALS Association. If they refuse the "challenge" they must send in $100. Simple AND EFFECTIVE! Since the Challenge started in late June, $79.7 million dollars has been collected in the fight against Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (Lou Gehrig's Disease), a horrible disease that initially attacks the muscles, but eventually causes numerous other problems, including trouble swallowing and even breathing!! And although some people live many years with ALS, it is a lot of times is fatal! So, take a look at this "Dog" getting a bath (thanks to my camera-chick, Maddy), make sure you tell the people I challenged to watch it, but most importantly..send a donation to: www.alsa.org/donate

Nike have released 3D Shoes. Yes, that's Shoes with an 'e'
I'm guessing you probably thought I meant "Shows", but no, there are in fact 3D shoes making their way to the market. Nike have released a pair of Zoom Kobe VI 3D shoes for the upcoming All-Star Game.
Insane! Look at them, really, do we need 3D shoes? Who is going to put 3D glasses on to look down at their own shoes? Or have some mates over and tell them excitedly "come over here and put these 3D glasses on!" "yeah, now what!", "dude, look at my shoes!!!".
PS3 firmware 3.50 is online! 3D Blu-Ray movies get love.
A day early, Sony has released the 3.50 firmware to the PlayStation 3, allowing 3D Blu-Ray movie playback. Not much else to add yet, as most people are still downloading it.
So if you've got a PlayStation 3 and want some 3D Blu-Ray lovin', turn it on and let the updating begin!
Foxtel enter the 3rd dimension
Foxtel are set to launch Australia's dedicated 3D channel.
Foxtel, in November, are starting a 3D channel as well as introducing a new range of high-definition channels.
The quick move into 3D gives Foxtel an advantage as the free-to-air networks only broadcast 3D in trial mode. The Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA) will limit the trial broadcasts of the AFL and NRL grand finals from the Seven and Nine networks to all major cities while it had "a review of certain spectrum, licensing and consumer policy issues associated with 3D TV".
Patrick Delany, the Foxtel executive director of sales and product development said that they had been trialling a 3D channel for a while now and had realised there was plenty of content to push such a channel. He also added "There's turning out to be quite a bit here, plenty of live stuff coming down the pipes".

Toshiba Mobile Display outs new 3D display needing no glasses
One of the things that most people don't like about the current 3D tech in homes and theaters is the need for glasses to view the content. In home theater tech the glasses are expensive active units typically costing $150 or more per set.
The real adoption of 3D TV at home will start when there are sets on the market that need no glasses to view. We are getting closer to the no glasses viewing with new displays like the Toshiba Mobile Display Co 21-inch autostereoscopic HD display that as revealed today needing no glasses.
The screen uses special multi-parallax technology to produce 3D images without needing glasses with wide viewing angles. The screen also has a special filter layer that makes it as bright as comparable 2D screens.

Sony's 3D implementaion involves upscaling and downscaling..
Everyone is going 3D; from Movies, to TV to personal gaming systems. It seems like the 3D craze is back. Many of these systems are quite good, others not so good and a few almost funny. One of the funny ones is the latest from Sony. They were talking up their 3D for the PS3 and finally had to admit that it was going to come at a price.
This price will not just be in money but there will also be some loss of detail and even the need to upscale to get to proper resolutions. It seems that to get 2D games to run 3D Sony broke the 1080 stream into two 720 streams at 30Hz. This is not exactly what you would have expected (1080p at 120Hz) and for games that already run at 720p they have to upscale to get the proper video information.
Of course you have a different story if the game is coded to run Sony's 3D natively.

A company called TVLogic has unveiled a pair of new OLED displays for computer users that have 15-inch screens. The two displays share many of the same features including 3G/HD/SD-SDI inputs and outputs, HDMI in, DVI in, and 1:1 pixel mapping.
The screens have 100,000:1 contrast ratios and 180-degree viewing angles among other features. The difference is that the LEM-150W is a 2D display while the TDM-150W is a 3D stereoscopic display. Pricing for the displays is unknown.

Sharp first to bring four-primary-color 3D LCD to market
Sharp breaks a new milestone in the LCD panel market segment announcing today th world's first 3D LCD with four base colors (the standard base colors are a trio of red, green and blue, whereas Sharp has added yellow) to further improve on the quality of its 3D affect over competitors' offerings.
Sharp also claims that this new model of LCD is around 80% brighter than other models in its line-up as well as being the brightest in the market to date.
Complimenting Sharp's Aquos LCD TV line-up, we're not exactly sure when this new model will hit the market, only that Sharp say it will be 'sometime before summer' in Japan and it's expected it should start selling globally by the end of this year.
We should know quite a bit more about it when the company reveals more technical information on the panel sometime next month.

Mysterious StreamTV turns up on Amazon promising 3D with no glasses
I have long though that 3D TV in the home won't really go mainstream until the tech is cheaper and you can watch without having to wear glasses. Glasses free 3D tech is certainly coming, look at the recently announced Nintendo 3DSi for proof.
A 3D TV has turned up on Amazon with scant information offered. Amazon doesn't even have a pic of the thing made by a company called StreamTV that according to Google doesn't exist (or at least it doesn't show up in search).
The set is a 42-inch unit with an integrated Blu-ray player that promises 3D playback without needing glasses. If you are brave, you can pre-order the thing for $5,999.99 with the set supposedly shipping on May 7.

Pork Medallions with Sun Dried Tomato Pan Sauce
New Media Publishing / Photography: Flat Art Studios.com / Stylist: Abigail Donnelly
Provided by: Georgeanne Brennan
180 calories/serving
The pan juices are blended with a little chicken broth, white wine, and sour cream, plus sun dried tomatoes to make a creamy sauce that compliments the delicate flavor of the pork.
- 2 pork tenderloins, each about 3/4 pound, trimmed of any silver skin and extra fat (ask your butcher to do it).
- 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons minced fresh thyme leaves
- 1 teaspoon kosher or sea salt
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 2 teaspoons butter
- 1/4 1/2 cup white wine
- 1/4 1/2 cup chicken broth
- 3 halves sun-dried tomatoes
- 2 3 tablespoons crème fraîche or sour cream
- Preheat an oven to 400°F.
- Rub the meat all over with half the olive oil. Rub with the garlic, thyme, salt, and pepper.
- In an ovenproof skillet, heat the remaining olive oil and butter over medium-high heat. When the butter foams, add the tenderloins and sear them until browned, about 3 minutes. Turn and sear the other side another 3 minutes. Place the skillet in the oven and cook the tenderloins until only a hint of pink remains, 12 to 15 minutes.
- Return the frying pan to the stovetop. Remove the meat to a platter and cover loosely with aluminum foil to keep warm. Be sure to use an oven mitt while preparing the sauce that frying pan handle is hot!
- Over medium high heat, add the wine, stirring to scrape up any clinging bits. Add the chicken broth and minced sundried tomatoes. Reduce the heat to low. Simmer 2 to 3 minutes, then stir in the crème fraîche or sour cream.
- Cut the tenderloins into 1/2-inch thick pieces and arrange them on a platter. Spoon the hot sauce over them and serve immediately.

1969 Seattle Pilots
From BR Bullpen
Record: 64-98, Finished 6th in AL Western Division (1969 AL)
[edit] Season Highlights
Major League Baseball awarded Dewey Soriano and Max Soriano an expansion franchise at the 1967 Winter Meetings in Mexico City on the condition King County would build a domed stadium. In 1968, after a round of public appearances by American League president Joe Cronin, and players Mickey Mantle, Jimmy Piersall and Carl Yastrzemski, King County voters approved the construction of a domed stadium.
The Seattle Pilots' first pick in the 1969 expansion draft was Don Mincher, and they became one of four expansion franchises the began play in 1969.
The Pilots won their first game on April 8, against the California Angels, but there were very few other bright spots to the season. Nevertheless, the team managed to stay in reasonable striking distance of a .500 record for the first three months of the season, and were only 6 games back of the division lead (in third place in the AL West) as late as June 28. But a disastrous 9-20 July and an even worse 6-22 August ended even a faint hope of any kind of contention, and the team finished in last place in the AL West with a record of 64-98.
In terms of individual accomplishments, Tommy Harper led the American League with 73 stolen bases, Mincher clubbed 25 home runs and made the All-Star team, and reliever Diego Segui went 12-6 with a respectable 3.35 ERA. However, only two regulars (Tommy Davis and Steve Hovley) had a batting average above .250 and no starting pitcher posted an ERA below 4.00. The team's mediocrity, coupled with an inadequate 31-year-old Sicks Stadium, led to a per-game attendance of little more than 8,000.
Also, the Pilots had no television deal with any local broadcasting station at the time, which also helped lead to the Pilots demise when television was becoming a key marketing tool for teams and source of revenue. Former part-owner Max Soriano said about the cost of broadcasting rights: "The cost of the A.T.& T line was such that we couldn't get advertisers to come forth. There wasn't any revenue for the ballclub by the time you paid the telephone charges."
Add that along with former Cleveland Indians owner William Daley, who the Sorianos met in 1965 when the Indians were considering moving to Seattle, told Seattle officials they had one year to prove themselves or lose the team, withdrew his support for the Pilots. Daley's threat worked as city officials, the Pilots, and local creditors all argued over money owned by Pilots management due to delays to construction to the domed stadium or from lawsuits which later led to the Pilots filing for bankruptcy.
In 1970, the bankrupt team was sold to a group led by Milwaukee businessman named Bud Selig for $10.8 million and moved during spring training to become the Milwaukee Brewers. The Pilots are best known today as the main subject of Jim Bouton's book Ball Four.
[edit] Season Timeline
- April 1 - The Pilots trade little-known minor league outfielder Lou Piniella to the Kansas City Royals for two prospects. Piniella will hit .282 with 11 home runs and 68 RBI, good enough to win American League Rookie of the Year honors.
- April 8 - The Pilots win in their debut game, defeating the California Angels 4 - 3. Leadoff hitter Tommy Harper doubles for the team's first hit, and the next batter, Mike Hegan, hits the first home run in club history. Marty Pattin gets the win, while Jack Aker records a save.
- April 11 - Seattle wins in their home opener behind a Gary Bell 7 - 0 shutout of the Chicago White Sox at Sicks Stadium.
- May 16 - In the highest-scoring 11th inning ever, the Pilots score six runs, then allows five, but hangs on for a 10 - 9 win at Boston. Jim Bouton gets the win with three shutout innings. Wayne Comer has a pair of homers, including one in the 11th. John Kennedy also adds a homer in the 11th.
- July 27 - Seattle suffers a heartbreaker, losing 5 - 3 to the Red Sox in 20 innings at Sicks Stadium. Joe Lahoud hits a 2-run home run in the top of the 20th for Boston, and Tommy Harper matches him in the bottom of the inning for the losers.

How to Use the Record
To search the collection,
⇒Select Browse through images on the initial collection page
⇒Select the "Record Category"
⇒Select the "Record Type and Contents" category which takes you to the images.
Search the collection by image comparing the information with what you already know about your ancestors to determine which one is your ancestor. You may need to compare the information about more than one person to make this determination.
As you are searching it is helpful to know such information as your ancestor's given name and surname, some identifying information such as residence and age, and family relationships. Remember that there may be more than one person in the records with the same name as your ancestor and that your ancestor may have used nicknames or different names at different times.
To begin your search it is helpful to know the following:
- The place where the event occurred
- The approximate date the event occurred
- The name of the individual or individuals such as the names of the bride and groom
Compare the information in the records to what you already know about your ancestors to determine if this is the correct person. You may need to compare the information of more than one person to make this determination.
When you have located your ancestor's record, carefully evaluate each piece of information given. These pieces of information may give you new biographical details that can lead you to other records about your ancestors. Add this new information to your records of each family.
For example:
- Use the marriage date and place as the basis for compiling a new family group or for verifying existing information.
- Use the birth date or age along with the place of birth of each partner to find a couple's birth records and parents' names.
- Use the birth date or age along with the place of birth to find the family in census records.
- Use the residence and names of the parents to locate church and land records.
- Occupations listed can lead you to other types of records such as employment records or military records.
- Use the parents' birth places to find former residences and to establish a migration pattern for the family.
- The name of the officiator may be a clue to their religion or area of residence in the county.
- The name of the undertaker, mortuary, or cemetery could lead you to funeral and cemetery records, which often include the names and residences of other family members.
- Compile the entries for every person who has the same surname. This is especially helpful in rural areas or if the surname is unusual.
- Continue to search the records to identify children, siblings, parents, and other relatives who may have been born, married, or died in the same county or nearby. This can help you identify other generations of your family or even the second marriage of a parent. Repeat this process for each new generation you identify.
- When looking for a person who had a common name, look at all the entries for the name before deciding which is correct.
Keep in mind:
- The information in the records is usually reliable, but depends upon the reliability of the informant.
- Earlier records may not contain as much information as more recent records.
- There is also some variation in the information given from one record to another record.
If you are unable to find the ancestors you are looking for, try the following:
- Check for variant spellings of the surnames.
- Check for an index. There are often indexes created by local genealogical and historical societies.
- Search the indexes and records of nearby counties.

Now, over the years, I've gotten quite a few requests to show how to create fake blood inside of Photoshop. If that's your cup of tea, then stick with me for the following movies. If it's not, then go ahead and skip ahead to the next chapter. I'm looking at the file called Vampire comp.psd, and I'm also looking at the final layer comp inside the Layer Comps panel, which is called Blood. Notice, if you're working along with me, you'll see over here in the Layers panel that the Blood effect comprises a total of three layers, two of which are called drips, and one is called lips.
I'm going to go ahead and zoom in on this image here, and scroll down to the mouth. And you can see that the blood effect not only includes this blood that's oozing out of the guy's lips, and down onto his chin as well, but we also have a little bit of scabbing, as if the blood is congealing on his lips. Because after all, if this was a vampire, and he had bitten somebody, then he would naturally have at least a little bit of blood on his lips, even if he was a really tidy guy. We're going to start by creating that lip blood.
I'll switch to my image in progress, which is called Bedraggled ghoul.psd, found inside the 07_refine folder. Notice I've gone ahead and zoomed in on the mouth, and if you'll switch over to the Channels panel, you'll see that I've created a couple of Alpha Channels devoted to the blood effect. One is called blood trails, and we'll visit it in the next exercise, and the other one is called blood lips. For now, I'd like you to select the blood lips channel. What I did to create to this channel is I laid down an initial selection with a very tight Fuzziness value using the Color Range command, so that I could select into the folds of the lips, and then I used the Smudge tool to smear the effect around, and I also brushed in some darkness using the Brush tool.
Now, you can try your own hand at this if you want to, but it's a fairly painterly effect, so I just thought I'd go ahead and do it for you in advance. So let's load up this mask by Control+ clicking, or Command+clicking, on its Alpha Channel here inside the Channels panel. Now I'm going to switch back to the RGB image at the top of the panel, and switch over to Layers panel as well. Assuming that that shading layer is selected, drop down to the Black/White icon at the bottom of the Layers panel, press the Alt key, or the Option key on the Mac, and click the Black/White icon, and then choose Solid Color.
I'm going to call this layer lips, and click OK. That will bring up the Color Picker dialog box. I'll change the Saturation value to 100%, and the Brightness value to 25%, and then click OK. Photoshop ends up converting that selection outline to a layer mask, so that we're just filling that area of the lips with red. Now, that's way too garish, so I'm going to change the Blend mode from Normal, to Overlay. Now, if you've ever taken a look at a little bit of smear blood, you've noticed that the blood has a tendency to congeal more at the edges than in the center.
So we're going to create that congealing effect using a layer effect. Specifically, I want you to click the fX icon at the bottom of the panel, and choose the Inner Shadow command. I'm going to dial in a slightly brownish color by clicking on the color swatch, and changing the Hue value this time around to 30 degrees. The idea is the blood is aged a little toward the outside. Then I'm going to increase the Saturation value to 100%, and take the Brightness value you up to 25%. Click OK, change the Blend mode from Multiply to the ultimate darkening mode, which is Linear Burn.
So we'll get, in fact, more of a burnt effect. I'm going to take the Opacity value down to 50% to compensate. Notice that the Global Light value is 135 degrees; that's fine. The Distance is 5 pixels, the Choke value is 0%; that's all good. However, right now it looks like we have dents around those edges. That's not what I want. So I'm going to increase the Size value from 5 pixels, to 35 pixels, and that's going to help to blend that shadow effect outward. Now, at this point, it strikes me that the Saturation values are too high, both for the red lips, and for the brown shadows.
I could modify those colors by hand if I wanted to, but I don't, of course. So I'm going to take the Saturation values down by adding a Color Overlay effect. So go ahead and click on Color Overlay, click on the little red color swatch, because otherwise, after all, we end up with these exceedingly garish red lips. I'm going to take the Saturation value down to 10%; that's all that matters. You don't have to worry about the Hue value, or the Brightness value. You get this horrible pale pink; that's fine. Click OK, and then change the Blend mode from Normal, to Saturation, and that way, that 10% Saturation value is all that matters, and that goes ahead and takes down the saturation of the lips and the Inner Shadow effect accordingly.
Finally, I wanted to blend the effect better, because notice it looks like it cuts off pretty abruptly there. So I'll click on Blending Options at the top of this left-hand list. I'm going to eke the effect out of the brightest colors inside the lips by going down to this Underlying layer slider, pressing the Alt or Option key, and dragging the left half of the white slider triangle over to 130. Your value should read 130/255, and that way, notice, we're creating these much more plausible transitions.
Then finally, I just wanted to take some of the color out of the central portion of the lips. So I'll reduce the Fill Opacity to 50%, and that way I'd leave the color of the shadows totally intact. All right! Now, I'll click OK in order to apply those modifications. Now obviously, by itself, that doesn't create the effect of blood; it just kind of gives him chapped lips. However, it does establish an environment for adding the trails of blood, which is just what we'll do in the next exercise.

I have a question. In my back yard I have two trees. On tree has in the spring daylilly folliage that surrounds it with some orange flowers in summer. Around second tree there is just rocks and weeds/poison ivy grows around it. My question is how can I plant daylillies around this tree? Should I make a border then feel with soil then plant this plant? I don't care about the flowering but I like the folliage. It's either plant daylilly or place rubber mulch around the base. |
Follow-Up Postings:
I find that daylilies, once established, can handle some competition from tree roots, but they may not bloom as nicely if the tree provides deep shade. It doesn't sound like this is too much of an issue for you, though. As for preparing the bed, I'd try Round-up on the weeds (unless you're opposed to the chemicals) as it allows you to plant in 2-4 days afterwards, remove as much rock as possible, and ammend the soil as you see fit. I'm a beginning gardener, but have learned quickly that any perennial greatly appreciates my efforts to break up the hard clay and rock that I have to play with. If the orange daylilies that you have are anything like some of my old cultivars, they're pretty hardy and even hard to get rid of! Good luck. |
- Posted by blue23rose 6a IN (My Page) on Mon, Mar 1, 10 at 17:38
I like moussy's suggestions. I would use Round-up also just because of the poison ivy. It may even take a couple of treatments. But I would take extra precaution and wear gloves if you are going to remove any rocks, which I would before adding any soil. You don't say how tall the trees are, but I have daylilies under an oak tree that has a tall trunk, so the plants get a lot of morning and afternoon light. We put a 4x4 wood border around our oak tree. This oak tree only had grass around it so we sprayed paint where we wanted the border to be, then sprayed roundup a couple of times to clear all the grass. Then I just started planting. There is no mulch around the base of the tree. The picture was taken in the spring so the daylilies haven't begun blooming yet. I probably have about four different daylilies here and plan to put more in this year. Vickie |
I'm not sure why you think your choice is between daylilies and rubber, as there are any number of plants that will do beautifully under trees. The key is to choose the right plants. :) And the choice will depend largely on the species of tree. Some, like the oak in the photo, are deep-rooted enough and with branches high enough that you can grow many things, including some flowering things. Others, like shallow-rooted, thirsty maples or magnolias with their deep shade under the canopy, will probably be somewhat more to highly challenging. Regardless of what you decide to plant, my advice is to be very careful about filling a border under a tree with soil. You will want to make sure that any surface roots remain UNCOVERED by soil...from what I have read, it is possible to kill even a mature tree by doing that. |
I believe I have a Maple tree. I went on the tree forum and asked about trees that shed the helecopter seed pods and most stated they thought this was a maple tree. On one of my trees (the maple), there are already daylillies planted around the trunk of the tree. They are not in a flower bed. I want to do this for other tree, I mainly like the folliage that surrounds the tree from the daylillies. |
If you are looking for foliage, then ferns or hostas would do much better than daylilies. |
I second hemlady's suggestion and add that if you're looking for "strappy" foliage, liriope is commonly planted beneath trees here in the Wash DC area. It's tough as nails and can stand the shade/dryness under trees--which daylilies may or may grudgingly stand--tolerates pollution, tourists' feet and even provides small purplish blooms. But I'd also follow Ackerman's advice (fmr Director of the Nat. Arboretum) to not plant an 'ocean of green'--mix it up with those ferns and hostas (esp variegated ones) and it'll be quite pretty. |

Common English Bible (CEB) | New International Version (NIV) |
2 You long for something you don't have, so you commit murder. You are jealous for something you can't get, so you struggle and fight. You don't have because you don't ask. | 2 You want something but don't get it. You kill and covet, but you cannot have what you want. You quarrel and fight. You do not have, because you do not ask God. |

Our Adoption Process:
It is important to keep in mind that no animal is ever truly free, despite what classified ads in the paper may try to tell you. With any animal, there are costs associated with regular vet care, vaccinations, food, and numerous other things that any responsible pet owner must keep in mind.Adoptions with the Saskatoon SPCA represent an excellent value, with all dog and cat adoption packages including the following:
Microchipping of the animal, which is the procedure with which a small, scannable chip is inserted under the animal's skin, providing an additional form of identification
The spay or neuter of the animal, if they enter the shelter unaltered
Six weeks of Petsecure pet insurance
A complimentary veterinary health examination at the local participating clinic of their choice
Age appropriate vaccinations, up to the point of adoption
Any medications required prior to adoption
The prices to adopt, including taxes, are as follows:
Cats - $190.00
Dogs - $228.50
Puppy or Desirable Breed Dog - $278.50
Desirable Breed Puppy - $328.50
These prices represent an incredible value to any potential adopter. Were someone to obtain all of the services and perks provided with the Saskatoon SPCA adoption package, the final bill may be as high as $900, and that doesn't even include the animal itself!
