Bugs And Insects You Can't See Biting You
Bugs You Can't See Biting You? Read On!
Use Professional Quality Pest Control Products. No License Required*
Bugs and insects you can't see biting you may be real or imaginary.
Most insects with the exception of certain species of mites and also scabies are visible to the naked eye. If you have welts or red bumps that you think are caused by bug bites, be certain before you start applying pesticides and insecticides and trying to kill something that is not there.
Bug and insect bites usually have a red swollen center and contain "pus" which can be either whitish-yellow or yellow-brown due to a pyogenic bacterial infection.
Bugs, bedbugs, mites, spiders, and other insects frequently annoy people and cause them to itch, scratch and worry. Sometimes this is a real occurrence. Sometimes it is purely imaginary and if not resolved, may lead to nervous disorders, imagined itches, excessive scratching, bleeding and even extreme fear of pests that do not exist.
If you are one of the growing numbers of people that are being "bitten" by something, but you can't see it, then don't feel all alone.
Sometimes, the "bugs" may be real. Sometimes they lay totally within the mind of the affected individual. If you are faced with the possibility of an imaginary infestation, a very careful and thorough examination of the premises should be conducted before applying any pesticides.
It is important to know that itches can be caused by many things. Of course the number 1 suspect is always the bite or invasion of certain pests known to bite humans, such as bedbugs, fleas, lice, certain mites (but not house dust mites), ticks, some species of thrips or psylids and so forth.
Common irritants encountered in the workplace or other environments include tiny airborne particles of paper, metals, ceramics, fiberglass fibers, or other insulation materials. Exposure to chemicals, changes in temperature or humidity (seasonal changes, like the dryness that occurs when the winter heating season begins), or simply reaction to scratching due to some other condition may be involved.
Before applying pesticides for bugs and insects, you need to be absolutely certain that an infestation exists. If a true problem with a biting bug is identified - for example, with bedbugs or mites, then the situation should be treated for and managed appropriately. However, if you cannot find any solid evidence that pests exist, then the application of pesticides INDOORS IS NOT RECOMMENDED, and a trip to your family doctor and / or dermatologist is in order.
Most pest control companies will not deal with a customer that has itches and is scratching from an insect that cannot be found or cannot be identified. Treatment for insects and application of pesticides without a true target pest is illegal in many states. That is why if you are suffering from itching and are scratching then you need to take control of the situation, and think logically about what is happening.
If however you have bug bites and your doctor cannot diagnose any physical condition that would cause you to think that you are being bitten by insects then there are some things that you can do to help.
NEVER SPRAY FLEA CONTROL OR INSECTICIDE PRODUCTS ON YOUR SKIN! Doing so could cause acute poisoning and could land you in the hospital, or even worse, cause death! Remember, pesticides are designed to kill. Don't use them on your body without a medical prescription or advice from your doctor.
Bugs you can't see and emotional or sensory problems such as an overwhelming fear of bugs or, if no
insect is
involved, the delusion of their presence maybe the true problem. When
confronted with these situations, pest management professionals should not put themselves
into the position of making a medical or psychiatric diagnosis or recommendation. A
general knowledge of these other causes of itches can be very helpful in reporting the
absence of pests to the client. Another useful approach is to give the affected client a
small, stoppered vial containing some rubbing alcohol. Ask the client to put any of the
biting pests into the vial, for later inspection. If no pests capable of biting are found
in the vial upon close examination (e.g., under a microscope), this evidence can be very
effective. Explain that no evidence of bugs could be found and that certain medical
conditions, chemical irritants, or medications may cause itching. Suggest that relief from
the sensation of bites might be obtained from medical attention. Do not suggest that the
client see a psychiatrist, but rather a physician, who can investigate the possibility of
some organic problem. The physician may then recommend psychiatric help. In industrial
situations where airborne particles or severe humidity changes might be involved, an in
Delusional or Delusory Parasitosis and Insect Phobias and
Industrial hygiene group with the state department of labor or a medical department within
the plant should be consulted. If a family residence situation is involved, the family
physician should be consulted.
Whatever the problem, the pest management professional should not attempt a pest management treatment if no insect pest is involved. Remember that it is illegal to use a pesticide where no pest is present. In addition, treatment for a pest that does not exist is not the most ethical approach.
Honesty is the best policy. To retain the confidence of the client, be frank in making a recommendation. Show continued interest in the problem, and offer to talk with the physician or others who might become involved, if desirable. Treat the client with dignity, consideration, and patience.

Honestly, when I'm in that situation I just do a regular Google search (meaning Google.com not Google Play) to find APKs hosted on websites and that's usually enough. You could also try 3rd-party app stores like Amazon's, AppBrain, GetJar, etc.
I've never tried grabbing an APK file directly from the Play Store, so I wouldn't be much help there, unfortunately.
Posted 30 November 2012 - 04:59
Interesting. I've never tried to just get the APK file from there, so maybe I overlooked that option. I have multiple devices registered and when I install from PC the website brings up a list of compatible devices to install the app to. When I choose one the download automatically starts on the selected device.
You have to "register" your official Google phones/tablets with your gmail accont for them to work.
I have actually once it is registered -- download items to my pc then transfered them to my tablet (only because my phone is registered but my tablet is a cruz).

After having hosted a successful edition in 2011, the Namibia Runs for Charity (NRC) is back again and will this Saturday be hosting the 2012 charity run at the Independence Arena in Katutura
With a total amount of N$52 000 collected at last year's event, athletes will again be looking forward to Saturday's event with the aim of making a difference in the lives of the needy, and to show their humanity through sports.
To participate as a runner, you are required to organise a personal sponsor(s) by asking your friends, family, colleagues from work or anyone to donate a particular amount of money (minimum N$1) for every lap completed.
As a runner, you will not only help the needy in Namibia but you also stand a chance of winning fantastic prizes, which will be awarded in the following two categories - for most laps completed and for raising the most money. The track will be open as from 9am until 4pm and participants can run or walk as many laps as they want. The total money you raise (laps x sponsored money per lap) will be donated to a needy project or a charity of your choice.
Lively entertainment has been organised for the event and will feature the Equipped Dance Academy and artist Sean K, as well as the Aris choir and many others.

CHAPEL HILL, N.C. -- James Michael McAdoo and Reggie Bullock are learning how to be go-to guys. Their freshmen teammates are adjusting to college. And coach Roy Williams is waiting for his players to hit some free throws. It's clear 11th-ranked North Carolina has plenty to figure out heading into a demanding five-game stretch. McAdoo had 19 points and 11 rebounds to help the Tar Heels beat Florida Atlantic 80-56 on Sunday, earning a second win to build some confidence before heading across the country and visiting the nation's top-ranked team in the coming weeks. Bullock added 16 for the Tar Heels (2-0), who led by double figures throughout the second half before blowing the game open in the final 7 minutes. But UNC -- with plenty of new players and returnees in new roles -- shot 44 percent from both the field and the foul line in an up-and-down performance. "I think it's coming along," Bullock said. "It's still people trying to see what we're going to need from them for the sea...

ok guys!i keep seeing people (windows)having relativly lower quality then expected of a given set up!
first tip:you will either need to calibrate your screen etc with window color system tool made just for this.or you will need to read this site:ninedegreesbelow.com/photography/srgb-profile-comparison.html
sorry i dont supply the whole link,you can google !bottom line the guy there suggest this sRGB profile :Argyllcms.(argyllcms.com/)avail for linux,mac and windows.i cover windows because i know srgb on winodws default or calibrated is lower quality then this one.i wont go into detail all the info is readily avail on the web suffice it to say it is a black scaling issue and the way mathematic is being calculated(less precise then needed).but then no surprise there was no 1080p when srgb was cooked back then the precision was enough but as we clearly see these days it isnt.i tested adobe rgb 1998.and a whole lot of other .icc srgb also show issue.maybe ms will tweak their srgb/scrgb in a near futur ,they seem to be way more agile these days at tweaking stuff then they used to.if you use this profile dont forget to unlock it. by the way in that download this file will be in the ref ,start from bottom of the list it should be the forth one starting from bottom it will say srgb iec61966-2.1 (equivalent to www.srgb.com 1998 hp profile)this is the one you select as per windows instruction of installation of color profile.if any could supply video of it (preferably streamer)i would like to know also the difference since what i mention was tested by me on gw2 .this will fix the shadow ,lighting ,alpha(transparency)etc everything at the subpixel level should look better.can you imagine that guy found 15 different version of srgb,gees technicly there shouldnt even be 2 version since this is supposed to be a standard.grin.anyway see you in game!sorry for long post but i felt this was important since we all get standard look on our high definition set-up (1080p or 1080i)enjoy guys,i sure do!
Login or Register to never see this panel
also you might need to use icc instead of srgb!i ll keep looking for srgb version since i checked the number my self and even the one i supplied isnt accurate as should be .the issue seam to stem from the fact that a lot of srgb version use the simpified mat to do everything.wich was fine in the past but now a day simplified is a nono!espacially with the ultrahd just around the corner as you saw on the site i supplied everything need to be 100% not simplifiied srgb standard spec or ton of secondary reflective color surface issue are lost and if you add the streaming into the mix this become a huge problem!from what i saw accuracy to .xxxx should be high enough for hd,this might change tho for 2560x 1440 or this year flavor of the year 3840x2160!hopefully this will get fixed or explained properlly by ms and/or hp!since they re the one with srgb (wich is the base for scrgb)this is why this issue of srgb need to be fixed ,because srgb (via scrgb)isnt going anywhere anytime soon)

You know, screen color calibrations are not supposed to be generic. They are intended to be device specific. Each monitor has slight irregularities to it that can cause it's color to be individual and unique. A color calibration uses a set of patterns and colors, and usually an electronic color meter, in order to calibrate the meter so it can display colors in a uniform and standard way.
It's particularly important in the graphics design and printing industry: when you design a layout, and it calls for Pantone 17-5641, and that looks like a shade of sea foam green on your monitor, but it comes back from the printers being deep emerald green and clashing with the dress your model is wearing, it's a big deal.
Color calibration ensures that Pantone 17-5641 looks the same on your monitor as it does the next monitor, as it does on the printer, as it does for the dress.
So downloading a pre-configured color calibration may change the color on your monitor, and you may like it better (or worse), but it by no means implies that you have somehow calibrated your monitor, or that the results will be the same for everyone out there.
Windows will use a default generic color calibration that is usually in the ballpark, and monitors come pre-configured usually to look bright and overly saturated (so they look good on the showroom floor). What it really boils down to, though, is what looks good to you, unless you happen to be in the business that color matching is critical.
but ser ,srgb is a standard even scrgb use it has a base,if its a standard wouldnt everything be the same.the link i supplied showed sao many difference (and they all say they are srgb)my point is microsoft should clarifie so we know .what i did?i did as icc recommended i calibrated my monitor with window color profile tool (ya not very precise ,especially the first thing)but it is the best compromise!do i get better result with the one i supplied?yes!but for now game graphic arent high enough in quality that it will mather.but in the futur ?i wouldnt be sor sure!since srgb is the base of scrgb ,microsoft or hp aught to revisit srgb and clear up the mess ,a lot of people feel most of the srgb stuff was meant for crt .anyway this will be my last post on the subject .my recommendation?calibrate your monitor srgb.and use the profile i supplied if you got a very high quality game with lot of shadow,transparency and various layer on top of the other (or photo)for the rest stick to calibration.dont use the default srgb out of the box in any window copy!

ENTER is your friend. Thats hard to even read o.O
Ok !I revisit this thread to let you know my best result thrust far.
First if you use amd graphic card (non-integrated!I don't know how integrated behave)I use a sapphire 7950.do not use amd supplied driver.update to the latest via ms.I don't know why,but ms version and amd version aren't recognise the same way by screen.you all need the sRGB version from color .org .for game I got best result with their non -blackscaled version set to relative.the various issue I got at the sub pixel were because blackest was not set to screen value instead of 0 .whitest was not to screen max value ,instead of 255! gamma value was also wrong because of this (still an issue since relative is just a cheat not a real fix.lastly I ain't sure but I think that 255 maximum possible shade of color aren't being avail.
Meaning how it should be theoricly be:(sRGB) 3 to 252 (actual max screen possibility),with 255 possibility, within the 3 to 252 range,second gamma value need to be put at the 3 to 252 possibility range ,not 0 to 255 (CRT)but it still need to have 255 possibility.as for the amd issue.I think it is just that the various screen don't understand what amd is saying to it (color profile wise)but said screen does understand what window say to it (w8 64 bit)if any have a newer version of sRGB from ms, feel free to supply link.(same with scrgb since this also affect scrgb)
I received a bios update this month from asus !and it fixed a lot of issue I had!sadly the color profile problem is still there
but now I can cheat by using 1080i and it looks like everything is fixed.i think the issue is the gpu is faster then the color profile and it cant keep up!because it doesn't do the problem when I use 1080i!so I ll use 1080i till ms find a way to speed up the wcs system!at least one way work 100% at 1080 and no shadow and light issue!cheer!i wont post again on this (unless ms find a way to speed up wcs so it can keep up with gpu!)

There is so much wrong with these rambling posts I don't even know where to start.
1. I have been using my PC and several monitors for decades for photo editing.
2. There are 2 things that are important for your monitor to show accurate colors: a) The monitor itself has to be capable of doing it. Which is why those of us who care and obsess about this spend a bit more money for good IPS (the best type of LCD technology as opposed to the mass-produced TN in cheap monitors) panels and b) frequent calibration of the monitor using a colorimeter hardware device which together with software produces an icc profile that is custom tailored to your monitor in your viewing conditions (room ambient light matters.)
3. Anything else - such as trying to do it visually or using someone else's icc profile-- is a kludge and mostly useless nonsense.
4. If anyone here is actually interested in calibrating a monitor, spend the equivalent of 2 or 3 video games and get this: http://www.amazon.com/Datacolor-Spyder4Express-S4X100-Display-Calibration/dp/B006TF3746/ref=pd_cp_p_2
5. If you're not interested, don't sweat it: your monitor, video cards and Windows, by default, get you in the general ballpark.
6. And if you're not really serious about your photography, stay away from monitors that are featured to have aRGB (Adobe RGB monitors) or "near-aRGB" color capabilities. Get those only if you are willing to calibrate it on a regular basis or you could actually end up with a more expensive monitor that by default doesn't look quite as good as the cheaper sRGB models. aRGB has its uses in photo editing work if you really know what you're doing but it's otherwise a marketing feature that will just confuse you...you have been warned :)

Once I calibrated my monitor with a Pantone Color Calibrator, I learned that nearly all monitors are not calibrated. I would make a picture that looked fine on my calibrated monitor, print it and it looks fine printed, look on another monitor and the colors are really dark, and get responses from people looking at it with their monitor that its dark.
sadly I ended up reverting to a Toshiba good old hdtv 23sl1350uc!instead of my ips235v .
I tried everything!on paper people say it is ton better!but me in real world ?I just get better quality on toshibe true the lowest black and highest white are clipped but if dev know what they re doing this isn't a biggy!caution tho!on this unit (the screen)it has a display of what is actually going on!
in gpu make sure you stick to ycbcr 4.4.4 if this is what you ll need !yes I know some say use ycbcr 4.2.2 since it is clipped etc
that is an urban legend
what will actually happen if you use 4.4.4?you ll be at 30 bit
if you use 4.2.2?you ll be at 24 bit!plain and simple!
and if you aren't at 30 bit!the whole point of using this a hdtv!(scrgb)
I didn't know this tiny part!

Using 10 bits per channel instead of 8 bits per channel is a bit unusual.

Many professional level monitors do it (commonly called Deep Color, as opposed to the standard 24-bit True Color that most people use) - for people that do a lot of work that involves close color matching (design, CGI special effects, post-production, etc), and color precision can even go beyond (some image formats support up to 64-bits of color precision).
Most video cards offer support already, but most monitors are only 20 bit (cheaper TN panels, which use dithering to "simulate" the missing 4 bits) or 24 bit (better TN panels, IPS panels, etc). Most people would be hard pressed to tell the difference between even the cheaper 20-bit and a 30-bit display.
Why this matters to our dear Doctor I don't really know - maybe he is really a Mantis Shrimp, which would explain many of these posts.
ok !my issue with this is mostly fixed (ips235v)tested with the color.org profile v4 and it fixed all the issue but the black scale and white scale!hopefully color.org will release one so we can test but I did test with v2 and it fixed party the issue since white scale is still at 255 instead of the screen max value(could be wrong here)anyway .case closed.nothing more can be done till color.org release a non scaled (white and black)version of srgb v4 hopefully in percepetual and d65!
i might go grab a 100% compliant srgb screen!this ips235v is only 72% compliant from what the manufactuer say !some site tested and max they could achieve was 3 to 252.ya you loose a lot of quality with value like these!

WORCESTER, Mass. – The Crusaders netted four power play goals and a short-handed goal as the Holy Cross men's hockey team pulled away with its largest margin of victory of the season, and the most goals scored this year, defeating the Sacred Heart Pioneers, 6-1, on Saturday evening at the Hart Center in Atlantic Hockey action. With the win, the Crusaders advance to 8-17-3 overall (7-11-3 AHA), while the Pioneers drop to 8-20-0 overall (7-14-0 AHA). During the night, senior assistant captain Adam Schmidt (Warrington, Pa.) and freshman Mike Barrett (Orland Park, Ill.) each netted a pair of goals, freshman Brett McKinnon (Kelowna, British Columbia) netted his collegiate first goal and sophomore Matt Vidal (Manorville, N.Y.) tallied three assists. The two teams split the weekend series, but with the win tonight the Crusaders have won the 2013-2014 regular season series 2-1-0, as they previously won on Nov. 1, 4-3, and lost last night, Feb. 7, 4-2.
The Crusaders came out fighting in the first period, but the Pioneers matched their strength as the teams tied in shots 9-9. At 3:44, the Pioneers had their first big opportunity of the night when on a delayed penalty they forced senior goalie Derek Kump (Falmouth, Maine) to make a wild save sending him spinning out of the net. On the power play chance, the Pioneers could not get a shot off on Kump, but the Crusaders mustered up three short-handed opportunities. Schmidt, senior assistant captain Shayne Stockton (Rochester, N.Y.) and McKinnon each made moves up the ice down a player during the Pioneer power play. The most successful of the three was Stockton who took the puck up the ice and from the neutral zone created a breakaway chance. Stockton took the puck from the glove side of Pioneer goalie Andrew Bodnarchuk and pulled it across to take a backhand shot on the stick side, but Bodnarchuk made the stop at 4:22. On the Crusaders' first power play opportunity of the night, Schmidt hammered one into the back of the net. Sophomore Jake Bolton (Ellington, Conn.) gave the puck to Stockton in the Holy Cross zone and Stockton passed the puck to a skating Schmidt. Schmidt sent a wrist shot in to the glove side of Bodnarchuk and banked it in low on the near side. Senior captain Ryan McGrath (Pittsburgh, Pa.) tried to pull up ice for a breakaway chance and took a shot to the stick side, but Bodnarchuk made the save at 13:38. With just 0:38 remaining in the first period, the Pioneers' Justin Danforth took a wrist shot from the top of the crease, but Kump came in with a huge save to keep the score 1-0. Despite being down 5-on-3 during the period, due to a five-minute major, the Crusaders successfully killed off all three Pioneer power plays and converted their only chance of the period.
The Pioneers came out trying to get their first goal of the game when Coltyn Hansen came down on a breakaway chance, but freshman Logan Smith (Littleton, Colo.) came inside of him and forced him out to a bad angle. Hansen still took the shot, but Kump came in with a big save at 7:11. Just 44 seconds later, the Pioneers took advantage of one of their faceoff victories and at 12:05 lit the lamp behind Kump for the first and only time of the game. Jeff Carroll won the faceoff sending it back to Danforth waiting at the top of the circle who fired the shot in. Sacred Heart tried again at 10:38 when Brian Sheehan took a breakaway chance up the ice, but Kump made a pad save to keep the score even. Just over 12 minutes into the second the Pioneers drew a delayed penalty opportunity that resulted in a penalty shot at 12:29. Spencer Grabowski made his way down the ice for the shot and fired a wrist shot to the glove side of Kump. Kump made the save sending the puck out wide of the net and keeping the door shut on the Pioneers. On a 5-on-4 chance, the Crusaders drew a delayed penalty on a hooking call. The Crusaders pulled Kump in favor of the extra man, and sophomore Castan Sommer (Shrewsbury, Mass.) sent the puck to Smith. Smith set Schmidt up for the shot and with an extra man for just two seconds, the Crusaders netted their second of the night, taking the lead for good at 17:02 in the second. A little over a minute and half later, still on the power play from a previous five-minute major, the Crusaders converted their third power play chance of the night. Vidal caught the puck from sophomore Joe McNamara (Chestnut Hill, Mass.). From the stick side, Bodnarchuk set up for a Vidal shot, but Vidal passed it across to McKinnon who was waiting on the other side of the crease. McKinnon shot the puck over the pad of Bodnarchuk for the first goal of his career and the Crusaders' third of the night. The Crusaders took advantage of two of their three power play chances during the period while the Pioneers could not find the back of the net on their one.
The Crusaders netted their fourth special situation goal of the night short-handed. Junior Nilan Nagy (Canonsburg, Pa.) started the play by sending the puck to Barrett. On a give-and-go between Barrett and Vidal, the pair beat the Pioneer defense on a 2-on-1 chance and Barrett fired the puck in from the slot at 4:47. Sophomore Tim Driscoll (Hingham, Mass.) capitalized on another power play opportunity to give the Crusaders a four-goal lead. Stockton got the puck from Sommer and took a shot that was blocked out by a Pioneer defenseman. Driscoll caught the puck and chipped it into the open side of the net while Bodnarchuk was focused on Stockton. Vidal picked up his third assist of the game when he took a shot that wrapped around the boards. McNamara picked it up and sent the puck to Barrett who just 18 seconds after Driscoll's goal scored the Crusaders' only even strength goal of the night. At 7:28 after Barrett's second goal, the Pioneers replaced Bodnarchuk with sophomore goalie Alex Vazzano for the remaining 12:32 of the game.
Kump earned his first victory of the season in his debut allowing only one goal on the 32 shots he faced. Bodnarchuk allowed six goals and posted 26 saves during the night while Vazzano made saves on all four Crusader shots against him. The Crusader defense gave one of their strongest showings of the season with 22 blocked shots during the game. The charge was led by Nagy with a team-high nine blocks, while sophomore Karl Beckman (Okemos, Mich.), Driscoll, Stockton and Barrett each posted two blocks. The Crusaders led the game in faceoffs, going 32-26 from the dot. Barrett and sophomore Brett Lubanski (Farmington Hills, Mich.) led the centers as Barrett went 14-8 and Lubanski went 6-2. Schmidt is now in seventh in career goals scored for a Division I player at Holy Cross with 49. His second goal of the night was the eighth game-winner by Schmidt in his career, tied for the sixth most by a Division I Crusader. Vidal's three assists on the night tie for the 10th most by a player in a game in Division I history at Holy Cross. Barrett's two goals tonight gives him nine for the season which are tied for 10th for the most goals scored by a Division I rookie in Crusader history.
The Crusaders return to action on Friday, Feb. 14 when they travel to Storrs, Conn. to take on the Connecticut Huskies in Atlantic Hockey action for a 7:00 p.m. puck drop.
On Saturday, Feb. 15, the Holy Cross men's hockey program will host its fifth annual "Pink the Rink" at the Hart Center during its game versus Connecticut at 7:00 p.m. The team will be wearing a special edition white and pink jersey to show its support for breast cancer awareness. The jerseys will be auctioned off throughout the game with all proceeds going to Pink Revolution, which is an alliance of dedicated individuals with a unified commitment to those touched by breast cancer.

30 ways to survive public transit and cure transit arrogants.
Filed Under: Opinion, World | Posted: 10/03/2012 at 1:09PM
Comments | Region: Canada
Most of us have done it, riding the wonderful city transit. We all know it comes with a variety of smells, people, liquids, garbage, and bacteria…… But wait! There's more! What are bus etiquettes? I mean this isn't a formal dinner its transit right? Take a second to think about an unpleasant time you spent on the bus due to someone else's lack of common sense, or manners.

Modified Mustangs & FordsFeatured Vehicles
1964 Ford Ranchero - Drafted Into Action
Adding Four Weber Carbs To This '64 Ranchero Was Never More Important
With the suspension upgraded to the performance category, Gorman realized that the factory brake system wouldn't be sufficient to stop the Ranchero at speed. So he upgraded it to a set of Wilwood four-piston calipers up front, and Wilwood two-piston rear calipers, matching them with a set of performance slotted rotors. With custom-built brake lines and a CNC dual master cylinder, the Ranchero was now ready to meet the requirements for a true performance ride.
While reaching a higher level of performance was key, Gorman had also given much thought as to the amount of comfort he and his wife would experience, sitting in this relatively small vehicle. Keep in mind this '64's original interior wasn't spacious or luxurious. This led him to toss out the factory seat and use a pair of Lincoln bucket seats with eight-way adjustability instead. They were reupholstered using dark gray leather, as were the custom-stitched door panels which are also now outfitted with billet arm rests. The factory dash was fine, but Gorman wanted to give a hint as to the Ranchero's performance. So he incorporated a JME billet aluminum bezel that houses a set of Auto Meter gauges that can be easily seen while the driver wraps his hands around the billet LeCarra steering wheel.
The heart of the Ranchero resides under the louvered hood. As mentioned earlier, the Ford 302ci V-8 crate engine sports the four Weber No. 45 side-draft carburetors and Moon aluminum intake. The air and fuel moves through the Ford Racing aluminum cylinder heads, while the combustion takes place with the help of an MSD ignition system. A set of Doug's Headers direct the exhaust gases out through custom side-exit duals that feature the same tip trim ring used on '65-'66 Mustang GTs. Approaching 400 hp, the small-block Ford is connected to a Tremec World Class T5 manual transmission, to which Gorman used an early style four-speed shifter to keep in tune with the Ranchero's classic appearance.
While some people appreciate the work and effort it takes to build a car from scratch, Sondra Gorman is lucky enough to realize that this particular Ranchero is more than just a cool little truck. She considers it a celebration of Rich's life and plans to showcase it at several shows this year in his memory. We can bet that she'll have many trophies to show for his work and for the effort of their friends that wanted to finish this unique vehicle just for him.

|All about alcohol inks!
This page has color charts, combinations, a collection of techniques and projects. Including using alcohol ink with polymer clay, metal leafing,
domino art, mixing with glues and other mediums to tint them for glazing, glass paint, faux enamel, miniature food syrups, etc.
|I hope that you have enjoyed my tutorials. Please
consider sending any size donation to help me
create more artwork, tutorials, free patterns, and to
support this website. Thank you :)
|Alcohol inks work wonderfully inside empty markers, such as Ranger
Ink or Copic brand markers. Just add drops of ink onto the broad tip
until it bleeds through to the bottom tip. This takes about 150 drops (it's
not much, somewhere about 1/10th of a bottle of Adirondack inks.)
These colors blend beautifully together on paper projects.
Allows you to turn your favorite inks into markers, or mix your own
custom colors. Since you can add ink any time the marker starts to run
dry, these markers can literally last forever. No more waste of
disposable markers, or disappointment when you find a marker has
run dry.
When mixing custom colors use an empty dropper bottle to mix the
colors first before inserting the mix into your marker. Craft stores
usually have empty bottles with dropper tops for essential oils in the
soap making supplies area.
If you are using empty Copic Sketch markers than you can also use
these inks with their airbrushing system for painting.
When you are using dark colored alcohol inks on a domino you will
have a hard time getting a rubber stamped image to show up well. You
can help bring out the details of your stamped art by lightening certain
areas of your image. You can do this by erasing the alcohol ink with a
lighter color of alcohol ink. Alcohol inks or blending solution in marker
form is great for this. Sharpies also work, however the tips on those
markers do not allow for smooth precision.
|How to use the applicator, felt and alcohol inks:
Add a few drops of each color you want to use to the felt pad
that is attached to your applicator. I apply single drops of
color a little randomly on various areas of the felt (see
Lightly dab your surface repeatedly until you achieve the
coverage and pattern desired. If you apply it by patting the
surface only a couple times you will get a blended, less
marble looking / blotchy effect as you do if you keep patting
your surface repeatedly. You can make it very interesting by
blowing on it as you work in quick taps for the smallest
marble pattern effects.
Try out combinations of 2 inks, or even just one and the
"alcohol blending solution" (works as clear alcohol ink) for
a variety of marbled monotone effects.
Note: Felt by nature has a lot of loose fibers that often fall
out. I have not found a way to avoid this, but you can rub off
a lot of the little fibers once the ink dries in a few seconds.
|Use multiple color combinations to
compliment your rubber stamped
artwork. (I used Stampbord as my
surface, and the image is from Spri-106)
|The Basics. Here is the standard, most popular application:

They appear more vibrant on non-porous surfaces (such as a domino) and slightly muted on porous surfaces (such as paper.)

|Failed experiments and happy accidents. (I make mistakes so you don't have to!)
Sometimes I try and fail. Sometimes I thought I failed and in the clean up efforts discover something interesting! Here is where I will share these "mistakes" with you!
|Using alcohol inks to paint polymer clay or gold leafing:
|You can achieve marbled monotone effects by combining any single
color with the colorless blender (clear alcohol ink) like this:

|Lettuce + Clear Blender
|Learn various ways to decorate domino
game pieces on the domino tutorial page.
|Altered jewelry! Add color to metal and other non porous surfaces:
|I bought a silvertone metal ring a while back and I always wished it was colorful. So I picked out some alcohol ink colors
(raspberry, stream and sunset orange) and placed a drop of each color onto a non-porous surface (I used the outside of a
ziplock bag.) I then picked up the colors and applied them using an empty aqua brush filled with alcohol or blending solution. I
sealed it with Krylon clear gloss sealer spray.
|Simple color combinations of two inks create bold results and polished stone effects like this:
|Pitch Black + Red Pepper
|Lettuce + Meadow
|Shell Pink + Clear Blender
|The hunt for an opaque metallic ink:
I've gone through quite a bit of trial and
error looking for a good stamping ink I
could use over my darker alcohol inked
dominoes. I have tried the metallic
StazOn, acrylic paints and Smooch accent
inks. All of which were slightly transparent
and started showing the alcohol ink color
through them.
All in all I do not recommend trying this
method, as Smooch ink is an expensive
and pretty metallic ink to waste on just
washing away, but it does spark my
imagination and I'll be investigating
bleach stamping techniques further.
|Bleach Stamping:
1) I applied my alcohol inks to my domino.
2) I coated a rubber stamp with Smooch accent ink by Clearsnap, and stamped the image onto the domino. (I
started with the gold fern image.)
3) After about 20 minutes I thought it was going to be dry, so I touched the domino and smeared the Smooch
ink. In a panic hoping I could save the domino somehow I rinsed off the gold Smooch ink under running water.
It took the Smooch ink off AND some of the alcohol ink underneath it. I was left with a bleached effect.
4) I repeated this process intentionally using a darker alcohol ink combo (Miner's Lantern) and used a brighter
color of Smooch Ink (Silver) and washed it off after about 15 minutes. This resulted in a clearer contrast.
|Shell Pink + Clover
|Attempts at using alcohol inks as a paint or mixed with sealers for a tinted glaze:
|I started off with creating molded polymer clay pieces,
which I baked and then painted with bright gold
Lumiere acrylic paint.
I then began my glazing experiments by mixing alcohol
inks into sealers to tint it, which was a failure on all of
the sealers I tried, including Mod Podge, polyurethane
and other multi purpose sealers. It created chunky bits
of dried alcohol ink color. I pushed the uneven clumps
of color out of the way and used the remaining sealer
as a glaze for the owl face --->
|Eventually I just started applying the alcohol ink directly to my gold acrylic paint. I used an aqua brush filled with
alcohol or clear blending solution, and picked up alcohol ink color onto the brush tip. If you do not have a non-stick
mat or paint palette to put your drops of colored alcohol ink, you can always use a piece of paper covered with tape.
|Try mix and matching random colors, even ones you didnt
think would go well together. Here is an unusual
combination using honeycomb, poppyfield and mermaid.
|Tips: If you're unhappy with how your
color combinations are turning out
("help! they dont look like these
pictures!") try using less ink of one or
more of your colors.
Sometimes a drop less red color for
instance makes a huge difference.
Too dark? Try adding a couple drops of
colorless blender to lighten all of the

|The Enchanted Gallery carries all 3-packs of inks as packaged by the manufacturer.
They are available for purchase on the Ink, Color, Stencil and Embellish store
page here.
The color combination charts below show how each set works together. For example, the
"Countryside" set includes Shell Pink, Willow, Cloudy Blue. When used together they look like this:
|Using alcohol inks to color plain beads for jewelry making:
|Any non-porous surface can produce the beautiful marbled effect with
alcohol inks. Plastic, resin, acrylic, metal or glass beads are perfect
for coloring.
White acrylic beads, metal tags, blank guitar picks and game tiles
to decorate can be found on the beads page here.
|Using canned air, an air pump or a coffee stir straw can create unique
effects when used with wet drops of alcohol ink.
Here I have added a drop or two of alcohol ink directly from the bottle
onto my white acrylic bead. I immediately used an air blower to push
the ink in my desired direction. The force in which the air blows effects
how many little branches of color shoot out, the quicker and harder the
blast the more tiny branches appear.

By Ralph De La Cruz
Florida Center for Investigative Reporting
U.S. Interior Secretary Ken Salazar went to the Everglades Tuesday to announce, with the usual fanfare and political backslapping, a ban on the importation of four species of invasive snakes, including the Burmese python.
"Thanks to the work of our scientists, Sen. Bill Nelson, and others, there is a large and growing understanding of the real and immediate threat that the Burmese python and other invasive snakes pose to the Everglades and other ecosystems in the United States," Salazar said.
Lovers of the Everglades might have preferred something less self-congratulatory, perhaps more along the line of Pope John Paul II's plea for forgiveness for the past sins of the Catholic Church.
It would be warranted. In the name of making money, the United States has allowed its citizens to dredge and drain the Everglades for real estate, to poison it with fertilizer and corrupt it with invasive species.
The extent of the abuse was so dramatic that it will cost $12 billion to begin its restoration. It's become such a severe and embarrassing problem that it seems to have actually, and briefly, brought together the administrations of President Barack Obama and Gov. Rick Scott.
The first big problem with non-native species in the Everglades began almost as soon as modern American entrepreneurs came in contact with the impressive wetlands. Melaleuca trees were introduced into the Everglades in 1906 by folks who wanted to harvest them as ornamental plants and for paper (the tree is also called the paperbark tea tree). Because they grew so fast and propagated so easily, they were intentionally planted into the sides of levees to stabilize the dirt. In the 1930s, planes actually scattered them from the air to promote their growth in the Everglades. Today it's illegal "to introduce, multiply, possess, move, or release" melaleucas. But it's too late. Because 106 years later, we haven't been able to figure out how to eradicate it.
More recently, as South Florida's urban population ballooned, invasive snakes such as the Burmese python became the next problem. The snakes, often bought for pets, were subsequently released into the wetlands after a bout of buyer's remorse — or owner's laziness.
Lacking natural predators, they've taken over. It's believed that there are now 30,000 pythons in Everglades National Park. And they're spreading.
"It's sad that it's gotten this far — and unfortunately, there is no reason to think that they aren't going to disperse farther north," said Kris Serbesoff-King, the Florida invasive species program manager for The Nature Conservancy, one of the groups that has been pushing for the ban.
And yet despite all that history, it still took five years of studies, hearings and debate before Salazar was able to announce a ban. And it will be another 60 days before the ban begins.
So those familiar with the history can be excused for finding Salazar's announcement lacking.
The first commenter on The Miami Herald story about the announcement expressed it succinctly and eloquently: "You are about thirty years too late."

Do tactics serve positional chess or the other way around? Probably both, as GM Alex Yermolinsky argues in the first part of his new series on modern chess. Instead of analyzing more Magnus Carlsen games, he looks at Carlsen's main rivals in the near future and in this video it's all about Sergey Karjakin! A quiet, 'positional' positing turns out to have lots of hidden tactics, and the question is: would Magnus have gone for them? | Watch video
Have you ever had that dream where you're being chased, and no matter how fast you go, you never outrun the danger? GM Dzindzichashvili's latest video leaves the black king in a similar predicament. White offers a queen for only two minor pieces. There's no direct win, but at the same time, Black never finds safe passage for his king. If there was a such thing as a "positional queen sacrifice" then surely this is it. Enjoy the latest novelty shop analysis! | Watch video
WGM Abrahamyan concludes her mammoth series on all things French. You should pair today's video with an earthy Bordeaux and tangy Roquefort. Today she focuses on rare continuations for White, including an early f4 or Qe2. She'll also show a lot of options for how to face King's Indian Attack setups, where play can be focused on either wing, or the center. After watching, you'll be convinced of a certain joie de vivre in the defense. | Watch video
By now you probably know about GM Finegold's crush on Paul Morphy. But how about the lesser-known, formerly top-10 GM Valery Salov? If you're a young player you may not remember his name (he retired while still near his prime). Today you'll see why Ben admired him so much - when he got an edge, he didn't take his foot off the gas. If you're not impressed with game one, stick around for game two, where he smashes Karpov with ease right out of the opening! | Watch video
"I'm up a piece, with compensation!" That's a pleasant situation to be in, as you might guess. GM Finegold shows you how he got there. Using an offbeat variation against the Grunfeld that no other GM plays, our video author nabs two easy wins. In one, Black is denied the ability to castle. In the second, he manages, but is pulverized on f7 anyway. Finegold even finds a few finesses that are better than winning a queen! Watch him turn Iceland into his playland. | Watch video
GM Melik recognizes the talent in his young opponent, but he's not willing to pass the torch yet! Needing a win in the last round for a good payday, the grandmaster plays his favorite Philidor and a wild fight ensues. His queen is almost trapped, then he goes down the exchange. But not to worry - eventually White's queen is offsides and Melik takes over the initiative and the psychological edge. The endgame technique is flawless! | Watch video
Our French Defense maestro illuminates the rest of what Black needs to know in the Exchange Variation of the French Defense. Importantly, WGM Abrahamyan advocates some lines where the pawn structure or pieces are imbalanced, creating opportunities for the second player. There's also a few opposite-side castling positions. Don't let your opponent make the opening boring - watch and see how to "mix it up" and make White wish he had played something more challenging! | Watch video
What was GM Dzindzichashvili doing when the Beatles were on the Ed Sullivan Show? He was crafting his own ballads on the chess board. Here the grandmaster shows us some 50-year-old analysis in the Taimanov Sicilian. In various parts of his treatment, three of the four rooks are captured on their home squares! In the words of John Lennon: "Rooks are flowing out like endless rain into a paper cup, Bishops slither wildly as they slip across the universe." Watch and experience "waves of joy!" | Watch video
Nothing much to know in the Exchange Variation, right? Wrong. Watch French aficionado WGM Tatev Abrahmyan (who just secured a third IM norm) show you the intricate maneuvering required of the deceptive opening. White might think he's getting a simple game, but actually the art of the trade and subtleties in pawn structure are in full force. Don't assume the game will peter out into a draw! | Watch video
Poor Vishy. Only a few weeks after losing the world championship in front of a billion countrymen, he travels to London and gets massacred by the man whom he beat in their 2008 match - Vladimir Kramnik. But wait, this is rapid, and anything can happen, so FM Kavutskiy then shows a brilliant effort from Peter Svidler, against Kramnik! We've got obstruction tactics, powerful retreats, and world champions coming out of our ears. Purist or not, you have to admit that rapid chess isn't dull! | Watch video

Orange Carnival of Ivera
From: 2016.01.06 To: 2016.02.22
Official website:
Everyone has heard of La Tomatina, the famous Spanish tomato food fight, but far fewer are familiar with the fight of a different fruit: oranges. The orange battle is a slightly more structured than other food fights in that at least there are two opposing groups rather than a mad free-for-all. The "bad guys" are the teams in carriages symbolizing the tyrant's guards and they battle against the orange throwing foot-patrols representing the rebellious commoners. The foot teams are further split into nine teams with their own name, uniform and city district. Everyone is allowed to participate but you have to pick a side and join a team. This battle of oranges has its roots in the middle ages when beans were used in this battle. Twice a year the feudal lord gave a pot of beans to the poor families who, out of disrespect, threw them into the streets. Eventually the beans were replaced by oranges that were thrown from balconies by adoring girls at you boys who were riding in the parade of carriages below. The boys naturally returned fire and the battle began. However, it wasn't until after WWII when the battle really took shape in its present form with fixed rules. Head to the main square and get ready for a one of a kind experience.

Music Video: Travel to outer space with Metronomy in the new video for I'm Aquarius
When you listen to Metronomy do you feel a creeping sensation of loneliness? I do, which is why this video from The Creators Project has struck a particularly raw nerve as it is set in space – the loneliest of all the places. Luckily for the lead, Joseph Mount himself, his cosmic voyage takes him to spots in the cosmos where other beings dwell. Meet smily meteor babe, King Child and sun lady. This is a fantastic video with effects similar to those of early episodes of Red Dwarf, perfect for the song, and directed by the clearly very talented Edouard Salier. Another reason to love Metronomy and space even more than you did five minutes ago.

Photoshop CS5 One-on-One: Advanced, the second part of the popular and comprehensive series, updated for CS5, follows internationally renowned Photoshop guru Deke McClelland as he dives into the workings of Photoshop. He explores such digital-age wonders as the Levels and Curves commands, edge-detection filters, advanced compositing techniques, vector-based text, the Liquify filter, and Camera Raw. Deke also teaches tried-and-true methods for sharpening details, smoothing over wrinkles and imperfections, and enhancing colors without harming the original image. Exercise files accompany the course.
Recommended prerequisite: Photoshop CS5 One-on-One: Fundamentals.
All right, for those of you who maybe interested I've gone ahead and saved out versions of all three of the grayscale images. So you already know about Grayscale composite.jpg that's the fused version of the RGB image created just using grayscale command. Then there is Blue to gray which is that Blue channel from the RGB image saved out as an independent grayscale image. Finally, there's Luminance only.jpg, that's the one we just created in the previous exercise, the Luminance channel from the lab image.
So you have three different grayscale images. You can take a look at inside of that 18_black_white folder. I am going to return to my Agrarian gothic.jpg file which is the full-color version of the image. Then I will go up here to the Arrange Icon and choose Consolidate All or if you loaded dekeKeys, you can press Ctrl+Shift+A, Command+Shift+A on the Mac and tab back my toolbox and option bar and panels and so on. In this exercise, I am going to introduce you to the Channel Mixer, which is a way of mixing the various color channels with each other.
Now it's a fairly geeky command to start with, because you can get all sorts of wacky sometimes psychedelic effects if you're interested, but over the course of these next couple of exercises here we will settle things down. I will just show you what it can do at first and then we'll see some practical applications for the command. Because one of the really great things you can do is you can mix your very own custom grayscale/black-and-white image. All right, so here I am in the Layers panel, there is a couple of different ways to apply the Channel Mixer.
One is to go up to the Image menu choose Adjustments and then choose the Channel Mixer command. That will apply a static application of the Channel Mixer. I don't recommend you work this way, because once you start playing around with this command a little bit, you will definitely want to tweak your settings over time. So you're going to want to keep this option live as an Adjustment layer. So the better way to work is to bring up the Adjustments panel. I will do so by going to the Window menu and choosing Adjustments. If you loaded dekeKeys, you have F10 to bring up this panel right here.
This guy, the last icon in the second row takes you to the Channel Mixer. So I am just going to click on it and that creates an independent Channel Mixer layer. Notice what you have here. You've got the thing that says Output Channel and what you're doing basically is you're dumping some mix of the various channels into a channel. So in other words, in this case we are modifying the contents of the Red channel and then we could turn around and modify the contents of the Green channel and then move on to the Blue channel. If you want to add some more keyboard shortcuts to your array of shortcuts rambling about in your mind, now these are ones we've seen before and they work the same inside the other Adjustment layer panels, but basically the idea is Alt+3 or Option+3 is going to take you to the Red channel, Alt+4 or Option+4 is going to take you to the Green channel, Alt+5 or Option+5 is going to take you to the Blue channel.
You can't access the RGB composite. So there is no Alt+2 or Option+2 with the way there is inside the Levels or Curves panel of the Adjustments panel right here. Now the thing to bear in mind is we are working inside of an RGB image that's where Channel Mixer works best. You can use it inside of CMYK images as well. It's pretty much of no use whatsoever inside the Lab mode and there is not anything you can do inside the Grayscale mode either, because you just have one channel. So we are taking the optimal approach here and this is the most common approach too, because most of the images you will be editing are RGB images.
Anyway, let's imagine I want to take the Red channel and I want to change it. I'm going to ask you just kind of bear with me and let this flow over you at first. It's going to make more sense as we get into it here. I am going to switch to the Red channel. That's my default channel in the first place, leave Monochrome off. That's for mixing black-and-white images. We will come to that in a couple of exercises, but for now just leave that option off. I'm going to switchover to the Channels panel and I'm going to click on the Red channel so that we can see our modifications as applied to just that one channel for now.
I am going to take the amount of Red channel, let's say just for the sake of demonstration, I am going to take it down to 50%. That means we're making our Red channel much dimmer as you can see and you can look if you want to at that little thumbnail at the top of the Channels panel, which will show you what the RGB composite is looking like more or less. But basically, the deal is by extracting a bunch of red from the image we are leaving a bunch of green and blue behind. So it's becoming quite turquoise and we can see that just by clicking on the composite if you want to.
So there is the image in progress. Well, that's not what we want at all. Let's go back to Red for a moment. Notice this guy right here that says Total and it says 50% down there. You want that Total to hover right at 100%. It doesn't have to be exactly 100%, you can let it go down to 97% let's say or let it rise to about 103%, but if you go too much lower or too much higher you're going to either end up with lackluster colors out of this channel. You're not going to be taking sufficient advantage of it or you're going to end up blasting the colors too bright and you'll be clipping your highlights.
So you don't want to do that. Now notice I could take his Green channel, let's say I take it up to 55%, like so. So we are adding 50% of the Red channel, what was formerly the Red channel anyway to 55% of what was formerly the Green channel. It still is, we haven't modified the Green channel yet, but as a result we have a Total of 105%. We have a little warning right there that's telling us that our total is greater than a hundred and what that means is probably we are clipping highlights and we can actually see here in the Histogram panel. If you can't see your Histogram panel, go to the Window menu and choose Histogram.
But you can see in the panel that we are clipping highlights just to make sure that's accurate, I will click on this little Update icon and sure enough we are clipping a lot of highlights right there. That's not something we want. So when in doubt, just make sure that this Total adds up to 100%. So I am going to take the Green contribution down to 50% and as a result we have 50% red mixed with 50% green to create our new Red channel. Now what that means is that we are darkening the channel. Why is that? Well, remember because this was a portrait shot, we were starting off with the Red channel being the brightest, the Green channel being the next brightest, and the Blue channel being the darkest.
So portrait shots pretty much invariably work that way. That is right in a row they are Red brightest, Green next, Blue darkest. So by sacrificing some of the redness and adding some greenness we are actually adding the second brightest channel to the brightest channel which is going to create a kind of compromise between the two which is going to be slightly darker. So if you want to see the difference here, I can click on this Eyeball icon at the bottom of the panel and that will turn off this Channel Mixer layer for just a moment. So this is the original Red channel and this is our new Red channel which is slightly darker. Interesting! All right, so, and like I said I'm just asking you to bear with me here, as we play around with this, and you'll get a sense of what we're trying to achieve more or less when we are done, because it's a little bit hard to anticipate at this point.
All right, we will go ahead and switchover to the Green channel here and this time around I am going to say, all right, I'm going to take the Green channel contribution down to 60% which is obviously darkening the heck out of this Green channel. Let's go ahead and check it out. It's become much darker now. So this was before if I turn off the eyeball, this is after and as a result now we have an image that has less green which means the contributions of the Red and Blue channels have become more important. So we have this kind of magenta image left as a result.
Anyway, I am going to switch back to the Green channel here. So we are viewing it independently and then I am going to add a fair amount of Blue channel. Notice I'm taking that up to 30%. So our Total is now 90. So the panel is doing the math for me. That means I need 10% more contribution from something. I'll bring that in from the Red channel. So have I darkened things or have I lightened them? Well, because Green is our second to brightest channel, and Blue is our darkest channel, we are bringing in a fair amount of blue and just a little bit of our brightest channel red. So we are probably darkening the Green channel now.
So I will go ahead and turn off the eyeball. Sure enough before it was brighter, now it's darker, except, actually here in the hair detail, back in this woman's hair in the background. We can see that her hair is actually brightening up a little bit and that must be, because of the contribution of that Red channel. Or perhaps if we go back to the RGB image and we turn off this Channel Mixer for a moment, we can see that she's got very bright red hair. This is obviously an artificial color.
It's got some blue in it so by virtue of the fact we added a bunch of blue to the green channel, we actually did brighten her hair. This is what the image looks like now if I turn the Eyeball back on. So we are developing a kind of brownish image at this point. I'm going to switchover to the Blue channel this time inside the Channels panel. Then I'll switch my Output Channel to Blue. I am going to go ahead and take Blue down to 50 this time around. We are going to brighten the Blue channel, because we're taking down the Blue channel's contribution. We are adding 50% combined of Red and Green, so that can't help, but brighten that Blue channel.
Of course, different areas of the image are going to brighten differently, but I am going to take the Green channel contribution up to let's say 40. So we've got 40+50=90. I need to add 10% more from the Red channel let's say and I'm just feeling my way through this. Now just to see what we've done, this was the before version of the Blue channel and this is the after version. We have definitely brightened up the channel, especially inside of the skin tones here and inside of her eye. Now if I go back to the RGB Composite image, this is what the original image looked like and this is what it looks like now.
So it has a much ruddier flavor to it. Thanks to the contribution of this Channel Mixer layer. So we'll go back to Layers panel, having closed the Adjustment panel here. So again, let's go ahead and scoot this over a little. This is before and this is after rendering up with a more monochromatic mix which tends to be the case when you add Channel Mixer. However, you can get some very interesting color combinations. You can actually subtract the contents of one channel from another and I'll show you how to do exactly that in order to achieve an extremely vibrant image in the next exercise.
