That's a headline my favorite supermarket tabloid - the Weekly World News - ran at the height of the Reagan administration. Though I don't remember the details, I'm sure the paper - which gleefully elevated National Enquirer-type journalism to an art form - treated the news with the same gravitas and respect it bestowed upon alien babies, animal-human hybrids, dead celebrities, and Bat Boy: a half-bat, half-human child found in a cave.
I bring this up because a news release from Baltimore's public works department just crossed my desk. Deer are overgrazing in woods surrounding a reservoir, so after a public meeting the department gave bow-hunters permission to hunt there. When a co-worker saw the release his first reaction was, "They're going to kill Bambi, aren't they?"
Well, most taxpayers would prefer human intervention to releasing the white-tailed deer's natural predators - wolves and cougars - on to public property to cull herds.
Chicago abounds with forest preserves, so deer are everywhere. I once saw a huge buck stroll across two lanes of rush-hour traffic and regularly see groups of them grazing at a local golf course. But overabundance of the Odocoileus virginianus isn't always benign: On a recent drive to the office early one morning, another co-worker watched in terror as two deer attempted to cross eight lanes of 65 mph interstate traffic. Miraculously, they made it across without causing an accident.
The highly adaptable white-tailed deer is found throughout most of North America, prompting us to wonder if they're complicating the work of public works departments beyond Maryland. Click here to let us know if deer are dogging your department. It's a simple yes or no question.
If you'd like to share an anecdote about your department's experience with rambunctious fauna, e-mail email@example.com.
As always, we look forward to hearing from you.

I'm working with an tile based terrain. The terrain is display in an isometric view. I try to limit myself to FFP because I want to target low system computers. The problem is that I tried so many light direction, the world light is so dull. The maximum bright (the surface face the light ? ) is the current texture color. Every other surface look darker. I think the surface that direct the light should get brighter than it's normal texture color! How can I achieve it with old FFP ?
I want to achieve the flat terrain surface should get lit 100% (normal texture color). the slope face the light should get brighter, the other slopes should get darker!
(same normal for 1 Triangle)
(Each vertex have its own Normal - the edge look smooth, but the lighting even darker!)

The apartment was awsome with amazing views to the river, they also offer you a transfer service for a good price. I will recommend to everyone!!
Location is really near to the city centre.
The apartment is spacious and the beds are nice. But unfortunately these tops are in contrast to the flops: furniture is old and dirty. Kitchen misses a lot of stuff.
The bathroom is the worst thing: dirty, old, fungus, broken toilet and sink. No showercurtain in bath so everything gets completely wet.
Blankets and sheets on the beds are dirty. Broken and dangerous wall sockets.
Nice appartment and very well located.
Perfect location! And the front door was fixed immediately when I called and told them it was almost falling out of the frame. This is clearly an appartment if you don't care if things look worn down, and are not very picky about how the shower looks. In other words; To be used for sleeping and luggage storage.
Great apartment with lots of spare. Placed just 5 minutes from Undergrund Aldgate East. Tesco Express next to underground and very nice restaurant Old Moe's.
Nice and quiet area with nearly No traffic.
Checking in was easy and Illona at the office was very helpful.
We will be back for sure and give this place our best recommandations.

It was an awesome weekend in Prague and so was the appartment too!!! We got exactly that what we booked and what we saw on the pictures. The communication was kindly and we got answer within one day. I can just recommend this appartment and the team around of Katarina.
Thank you
Apartment and location were pretty good. Wifi is horrible, there are couple of stairs and specially getting the keys is very complicated. Is not that easy for someone who arrives the first time to get them in a place far from the apartment. Plus flat wasnt B21, was B12 so its kind of confusing.
The apartment was perfect! It was clean, big and very closed to the city centre and to the San Venceslao square. We were in 7 adults and there was enough space for all of us. Nothing negative to say. I will return in this apartment during my next trip in Prague.

What do you think of SANS Penetration Testing and Ethical Hacking training
I have been working as a QA tester (from development background) and am thinking to change my carrier path to Penetration Testing. I was wondering how you think of SANS training. Is it really practical as they claim on their website? Will I able to get a job as a pen tester after?
I am also interested in wireless security as well? I believe SANS offers "Web" and "Wireless" pen testing training.
Any advice and feedback will be welcome.
Thank you very much for your help in advance!

text: It appears that my 2003 Tahoe Z71's 4L60E Transmission needs more cooling than the current setup provides. It has an external cooler, as well as, the route through the radiator. It appears that the supercharger's air-to-water intercooler, which sits in front of the transmission cooler, blocks enough air that the transmission fluid is getting too hot? How hot is unknown-Don't have a temp gauge on the trans fluid. I have changed to Dextron VI is that enough? I would like to relocate the external cooler from behind the intercooler. Is that possible? To where? It needs air flow. It needs protection from road and rocks. Is the quick disconnect on the transmission and radiator a pipe thread fitting that can be changed to stainless braid aircraft fittings and hoses? Just to cut off mis-information, I have the quick disconnect tool required to disconnect the line from the transmission fitting. I mean the disconnect fitting that threads into the trans. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Hi guys,
I'm still very new to beekeeping and I noticed that some apiaries have two or three brood chambers and one or two supers. Is there a reason why there are not more supers? I mean, it's certainly possible that I've missed some that have more than two but I haven't seen any so far.
And is the reasoning for three brood chambers that it will create more bees and thus, give you a higher output with more frequent honey extractions?
Any advice you could provide would be greatly appreciated.

Emanuel To Banks: Stop Supporting Gun Makers
CHICAGO (CBS) Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel is putting more pressure on gun makers to get behind his push for an assault weapons ban and criminal background checks for gun purchasers.
This time, he wants to go after their bottom line.
Emanuel is pushing two major financial institutions to stop their financial backing of gun makers, unless those companies support commonsense reforms, including requiring criminal background checks on all gun sales.
The mayor is urging that banks to stop lines of credit, financing for acquisitions and expansions and financial advising.
In a letter sent Friday to the CEOs of Bank Of America and TD Bank, Emanuel said: In the past, the gun industry has stood in opposition to these safety measures. They opposed a ban on assault weapons on Americas streets, opposed a ban on military-style clips, opposed a criminal background check on all gun purchases and opposed any effort to crack down on criminal gun traffickers.
In the letter, Emanuel says TD Bank offers a $60 million line of credit to Smith & Wesson, which produces the AR-15. That is the weapon used by James Holmes in the Aurora, Colo., theater massacre that killed 12 people. Emanuel wrote.
Emanuel told CEO Bharat Masrani to use your influence to push this company to find common ground on an assault weapons ban and gun background checks.
In a separate letter, Emanuel urged Bank Of America CEO Brian T. Moynihan to do the same thing with Sturm, Ruger & Co., which has a $25 million line of credit with the bank.
Collectively we can send a clear and unambiguous message to the entire gun industry that investors will no longer financially support companies that support gun violence, Emanuel wrote.
Last week, Emanuel ordered a portfolio analysis from the five pension and retirement funds for Chicago employees to determine if fund managers hold financial interests in companies that manufacture or sell assault weapons.
This week, the Chicago Municipal Employees Annuity and Benefit Fund (MEABF) board voted to divest more than $1 million from three companies that manufacture assault weapons Freedom Group, Smith and Wesson and Sturm Ruger.

this weeks sport.
i'm a bit of a sports fan and i'm sure i'm not alone so i thought i'd start a sports thread.
what sport do you follow? who do you follow? how did they do this week?
and guys, i know we can get a bit competitive at times, but lets try and keep it friendly, ok.
#2 Sun 15 Apr 07 9:54pm
Re: this weeks sport.
this week didnt go too well for me.
i'm a big football fan, thats soccer in the US.
my local spanish side, valencia lost last weekend.
my beloved tottenham hotspur then lost 1-0 to chelsea.
valencia were then knocked out of the champions league... yeh, chelsea again.
then the mighty tottenham knocked themselves out of the uefa cup with an own goal against Sevilla after a massive 3 MINUTES!!!
saturday brought us the grand national, and with it a chance for a little bet. i had 2 horses. both fell.
sunday, today, and tottenham have managed to come from behind 3 times to scrape a 3-3 draw with wigan. its a start i suppose.
only 5 games left to play in this seasons premiership, it looks like 7th place will be enough to qualify for uefa as man. u. play chelsea in the f.a. cup final.
fingers crossed!

Rugby, because my boyfriend plays. I haven't a clue what's going on most of the time, but I do enjoy the shorter shorts.
We had three horses in the GN, two fell and Hedgehunter came in ninth, I believe. Most disappointing.
My brother has Man Utd season tickets, but lives in Switzerland so I have them most of the time; again, however, I don't have much of an idea what's going on, and really only go for the pies and lager.

Re: this weeks sport.
pies and lager! what a girl.
they actually sell bagels at tottenham. surely thats too posh for a football ground!
maybe its cos of the jewish history of the club.
i had a ticket for the uefa cup game but flights back were $$$$$$$$

Re: this weeks sport.
We like ALL codes of Football... AFL (Australian Football league) otherwise know as aerial ping pong, Rugby league and Rugby Union.
I have two disabled boys - both have a disorder called Fragile X - one has an associated autistic disorder and the other an associated ADHD... makes life interesting in our place every day. They are only 4 months difference in age, one being my own son, the other we have fostered and who continues to live with us now that he has reached adulthood.
Football is a sport that I can take them to and they can get involved and cheer with gusto, without it highlighting their disabilities to much. Most people actually warm to their enthusiasm and energy. Geoffrey even ends up barracking for BOTH teams in his over excitement. We have been to lots of games in the national competitions, but also to the Wallabies when they played the Springboks... and also to the Kangaroo game when they played the British Lions... We won again!!! We have yet to attend a soccer game, but it was be fantastic to see one where Australia is playing...
We pick seats that have families around and have a mixed selection from both teams.... so we don't get caught up with the fanaticism of some of the die hard fans, or have to put up with their swearing and abuse. Most times we have chosen well.
We participate in Footy tipping... for no other reason but to have fun.
We love it....

Well, it's hockey play off season and our team, The Vancouver Canucks are playing against The Dallas Stars. It's always fun and exciting during this time especially when we make it into the playoffs, lol! There are Canuck flags everywhere...
Other than hockey we like to watch tennis. Have been down to Indian Wells a few years back when Pete Sampras still played and we watched him during a warm up. Also saw Serena Williams and handful of others. Watched Pat Rafter as well, what a sight he is! Fav. ladies player is Kim Clijsters.

I like the comment - LT on special teams should have been illegal. LOL
Wow, great footage some of the best I've seen. The play at 4minutes and 48 seconds in is pretty amazing, so much hustle to strip Cunningham. The play at 32 seconds in is hilarious, the tight end got owned twice on the same play. He must have had a fun film session with the team that week...
I miss John Madden doing games :/.
One word....AWESOME!!!!
Must have taken forever to find all of that footage. Or even put it together if the guy had it anyways... Good stuff, younger fans should definitely watch that. Then, they should watch this-
Personally it makes me sad after watching our current defense.

Good stuff thanks guys.
What a proud & feared defensive unit we used to have.
Year in.
Year out.
The epitome of consistency.
I still argue "the best football player I've ever seen." the basis of my arguement, is that he destroyed your offensive game plan, and carried a team, yet never had to have the football in his hands to do it. Not sure you can say that about any other athlete.
he was a revolutionary player. the guy was fear incarnate. one man wrecking machine.

Carl Jenkinson says that Arsenal's victory over Udinese on Wednesday night underlined the squad's unity.
Jenkinson started at right-back in only his third competitive Gunners appearance and the 19-year-old thinks the team spirit in the dressing room was a catalyst for a vital win.
"I'm a bit speechless to be honest; I'm just over the moon for the boys, the Club and the fans," Jenkinson told Arsenal Player.
"We've had some down times lately and that win is massive for us. It showed how united we are, how together we are.
"I'm just happy that over the 90 minutes we showed how good we are, got the win we needed and we're in the Champions League where we should be.
"Tonight showed completely how together we are, and our character shone through. We had some tricky times out there where a lesser team might have crumbled and would not have battled like we did."
The full interview with Carl is now available on Arsenal Player. He discusses: the togetherness of the squad, a tricky test and Szczesny's heroics.Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc.

Hoyer, Pelosi call protests against ObamaCare "un-American"
posted at 9:30 am on August 10, 2009 by Ed Morrissey
I guess the Democrats have really decided to go nuclear in support of ObamaCare. In the face of massive protests at townhall meetings as elected officials face their constituents, Nancy Pelosi and Steny Hoyer have a new strategy to avoid accountability. They simply have decided to call protests "un-American." No, I'm not kidding, and they did it in print (via Cuffy Meigs):
However, it is now evident that an ugly campaign is underway not merely to misrepresent the health insurance reform legislation, but to disrupt public meetings and prevent members of Congress and constituents from conducting a civil dialogue. These tactics have included hanging in effigy one Democratic member of Congress in Maryland and protesters holding a sign displaying a tombstone with the name of another congressman in Texas, where protesters also shouted "Just say no!" drowning out those who wanted to hold a substantive discussion.
These disruptions are occurring because opponents are afraid not just of differing views — but of the facts themselves. Drowning out opposing views is simply un-American. Drowning out the facts is how we failed at this task for decades.
Health care is complex. It touches every American life. It drives our economy. People must be allowed to learn the facts.
I can't think of three better reasons to get government out of health care than that it's "complex," "it touches every American life," and "it drives our economy." However, it's now apparently un-American to say that it in public. Will Pelosi and Hoyer set up a tip line for un-American activities, such as [email protected]? Maybe they'll just recreate the House Un-American Activities Committee to hold hearings and demand testimony. After all, that effort had such a glorious history of operating on the same principles Hoyer and Pelosi espouse here, which can be boiled down to "shut up and do what you're told."
We know that members of Congress don't read bills before voting on them. Now we find out that they don't read the Constitution before taking the oath of office that demands loyalty to it. We know that because, in the First Amendment, the Constitution not only protects the right of free speech but also the right to petition government for a "redress of grievances." That means that people unhappy with the direction of government have the right — in fact, have a duty — to air their grievances to their elected officials and demand better governance.
There could be nothing more American than appearing at a town hall and confronting elected officials over their wrong-headed policies, especially when those policies accrue more power to the federal government and eliminate freedom of choice for American citizens. Nancy Pelosi and Steny Hoyer don't agree. They apparently believe that their elected positions gives them the right to dictate to the country, and the right to be free of protest and dissent. In other words, they see themselves as royalty — as if they themselves were the state, and any protest is un-American simply because it opposes their policies.
They're impugning your patriotism for using the First Amendment. That tells us everything we need to know about the Democratic majorities in the House and the Senate. This is a new low in American politics, and both Pelosi and Hoyer are foolish enough to put it in USA Today for all to see it.
Update: The boss notes that Hillary Clinton has slammed Pelosi and Hoyer for questioning the patriotism of dissenting Americans:
"I am sick and tired of people who say that if you debate and you disagree with this administration somehow you're not patriotic. We should stand up and say we are Americans and we have a right to debate and disagree with any administration."
Oh, wait, that was from 2003 … when we had a Republican administration. Now it's "I'm sick and tired of people who disagree with us, which is why Barack Obama set up Snitch Central at the White House."

text: I know the Giants are not really in need of more skill position guys but Rid**** is a guy I would certainly have on my big board in the late rounds of next years draft... The guy is extremely versatile between RB and WR, sort of like a poor mans Randall Cobb minus the return experience. He's not a big back or a burner but the guy is extremely shifty and plays very hard. There is next to no hype that I have heard for him so I would imagine that the Giants could either get him very late or even in FA so the risk would be minimal.

And yeah, if you tie or beat Marco's streak, Pregame should buy the guy his own casino. Yeah, that's fair. Let's vote on it, okay?
Okay, SonnySeattle, do your polling thing.
I have a question regarding the streak.
When you say Marco won 25 straight baseball games never laying more than -120, does that mean Marco didn't make any other types of baseball bets during this run? Or does it mean, if we just look at the bets that were -120 or less, Marco won 25 in a row, as we are excluding his totals bets, run-line bets, and any money line bets that exceeded the -120 line?
Either way, it's a remarkable feat.

Cochlear hair cells convey auditory information to the brain, but a significant amount of "pre-processing" of the auditory signal actually occurs in the cochlea prior to conveying the nerve signal to the CNS.
How the cochlear establishes its sensitivity, and how it avoids metabolic insults that can leave a person with hearing impairment are two basic research questions that Dr. Doug Vetter's research addresses. His work describing the presence of a cellular stress-response signaling network that has been "copied" from the brain has recently received attention from Psychology Progress, an organization dedicated to highlighting significant research papers for the general biomedical community.
Dr. Vetter's recent paper, published in Hearing Research, has been recognized by Psychology Progress as a Key Research Article, and can be viewed at http://psychologyprogress.com/?p=7131.

MU: DRAM Fortunes Boosted by Tight Supply, Says iSuppli
Research firm IHS iSuppli this morning informs us that the DRAM memory chip market is finding propsperity by conducting the second year in a row of deliberate reduction in output, helping to firm up prices, and also helping to offset the slump in personal computer sales.
iSuppli figures the DRAM industry will produce 13 million 300-millimeter wafers this year, down 5% from 2012's level, which was, in turn, down 8% from the 2011 figure of 14.9 million wafers.
The result last quarter was the highest revenue for the industry in two years, the firm notes, driven by a rise in price for 4-gigabyte DDR3 DRAM modules to $23 in March from $16 in December, on average.
After chronic oversupply and pricing weakness, "the DRAM industry has entered a more mature state, enacting structural changes that will allow it to grow even in challenging market conditions," observes iSuppli analyst Mike Howard.
As regards the "post-PC" era, the firm notes more and more bits are shipping into non-PC devices:
Nearly 65 percent of all DRAM bit shipments went to a desktop or laptop 10 years ago, but that figure is less than 50 percent today and will fall further to south of 40 percent by the end of next year. Meanwhile, servers and mobile gadgets like smartphones and tablets command an increasing share of DRAM bit shipments. The overall result is that the travails of one segment—like the embattled PC space—won't be able to disrupt the entire market, lacking the size and critical mass to do so. The server and mobile segments also help by using more specialized products that require a more involved design-in process, thereby reducing the commodity nature of the DRAM that the segments consume.
Another improvement is the elimination of some competitors:
The Taiwanese are no longer the powerhouse suppliers they used to be, while notable DRAM makers Qimonda of Germany and Elpida Memory of Japan have gone bankrupt and have been bought out by other players. By the end of this year, only three DRAM manufacturers will remain—Samsung and SK Hynix of South Korea, and U.S.-based Micron Technology. With fewer entities to influence the market, a more conservative approach toward capacity expansion is expected, and more stable growth can follow.
The firm notes that industry must not become too attached to undersupply, or it will ultimately drive customers toward other technologies: "Next year, manufacturers will need to seriously look at options for expanding manufacturing capacity to accommodate demand."
"But properly managed, DRAM prospects can remain healthy, IHS believes."
Micron Technology (MU), which reports fiscal Q3 results tonight, after the bell, has lately gotten a wave of positive reviews from the Street, in part because of a brighter outlook for DRAM.

I've just browsed Lusbans "back to bio" and this all sits well with reason. I may have missed it but I find little evidence to back what you say. It is easy for a "bio" person like me to follow your sound solution(I'm a new-bee who likes to read when its cold out). I like what I hear from you but would it be fool-hardy for a beginner to endeavor this 4.9 switch? Is this a hobbiest possibility or do I need a couple dozen colinies to make it succeed?

Concrete stain is a fast, simple way to turn your dull gray patio into a lively, colorful surface that will make your outdoor space more inviting. The stain is nearly foolproof to apply—just wet the concrete and spray on the stain. If you're not happy with the result, you can go back and apply a second or third coat to enhance the color.
In this story, we'll show you how to apply the stain, including ideas for mixing stains to create a unique, multicolored surface that looks like marble. You'll save a substantial amount of money by doing it yourself, and you won't need any special tools—just basic painting tools and rain-free weather. If you're cutting kerfs into the concrete, you'll need a diamond masonry blade for your circular saw.
You can apply the stain over worn concrete, but don't expect a miracle. You'll still be able to see the old appearance through the stain. And avoid staining spalling concrete. The stain will turn a darker color wherever the concrete is pitted.
What is concrete stain?
Concrete stain is a water-based product that coats the concrete and becomes a permanent part of the surface. The stains can fade and wear over time, but sealer helps protect them.
Concrete stains are different from acid (or etching) stains, which chemically react with minerals in the concrete to change the color. Acid stains are available for DIYers, but there are fewer colors to choose from, and applying it involves more steps.
Time, money and materials
You can do this project in a weekend. Prep the concrete and apply the stain on Saturday, then seal it on Sunday. If you decide to add a second coat of stain, you'll need another day.
The stains are available at home centers in the paint section—the color is added just as with paint. One gallon covers 200 to 400 sq. ft. A gallon of sealer also covers 200 to 400 sq. ft.
The color you choose may look slightly different after it's applied. Each patio will accept the stain a little bit differently. However, the color will be close to what you see in the brochure.
The stain is semitransparent. It won't completely cover the surface as paint would. You'll see the concrete through the stain, especially if you're using a light color.
Cut kerfs and clean the concrete
This project is much faster and easier if you stain your whole patio a single color. All you have to do is wet the concrete and apply the stain. Then backroll with a 3/8-in.-nap roller if you want even coverage. That's it—there's no need to block off sections or switch sprayers. If you want a pattern with different colors, start by deciding on a color scheme. Anywhere you want to switch from one color to another, such as for a border or the checkerboard pattern shown here, you'll need a kerf (a shallow cut in the concrete). This gives the colors a crisp separation. Taping off the concrete won't work. The stain will run under the tape.
If you already have expansion joints in the concrete, incorporate them into your design to avoid cutting kerfs. But if you need to cut kerfs, start by snapping a chalk line where you want to cut. It's important for the cuts to be perfectly straight. Crooked cuts will be obvious once you apply the stain. So use a wide board as a saw guide and weight it down with buckets of water (Photo 1).
Install a diamond masonry blade in a circular saw and set it to a depth of 1/4 in. The cuts don't need to be deep—just enough to separate colors. Have a helper spray a water mist on the blade during the cut to contain the dust (Photo 1). Don't use cheap abrasive blades for cutting concrete—you can't spray them with water, and you'll end up with dust all over your siding and windows.
You won't be able to get the saw blade right next to the house, so finish off the kerfs with a masonry chisel and a hammer or a grinder with a diamond blade.
As with any other staining project, surface preparation is critical. Any stains, such as rust, will show through in the finished project. Clean the entire surface with a heavy-duty cleaner (Photo 2), working in 4 x 4-ft. sections at a time. Then rinse the concrete with water until you don't see any more soapy bubbles. For tough rust stains, use a stain remover, and rinse it off with water. For grease or oil stains, use a product that's designed to remove those stains. Blast dirt and debris out of the kerfs with water.
Prep the area for staining
Now that the concrete is clean, make sure your shoes are, too, before you walk on the patio again. The surrounding ground will be wet from concrete cleaning. We changed into a pair of clean, dry shoes to work on the patio. Before cracking open the stain, shield the lower portion of the house and any nearby landscaping materials to protect against drifting spray. Tape plastic film along the siding. You don't have to protect plants and grass if you don't want to (any stain that gets on them will hardly be noticeable). If any dirt gets on the patio after you've cleaned it, brush the concrete lightly with a broom to avoid pushing the dirt into the surface.
Apply the stain
You shouldn't apply the stain in direct sunlight (partial or full shade is best), so wait for a cloudy day or a time of day when the patio is shaded. Also avoid windy days so the stain won't drift. You'll need a few garden sprayers for this project—one for each stain color you're applying and one for water. Fill the sprayers over tarps on the grass (don't fill them on the patio since spills will stain the concrete). Test the spray pattern on cardboard.
If you're creating a pattern, you'll need shields to place in the kerfs or expansion joints to prevent spraying onto adjoining areas. We used fluorescent light lenses (available at home centers), but you could use cardboard. Have four or five on hand. Don't use them if they're dripping wet with stain or they'll drip onto (and stain) the concrete.
Work in small sections (4 x 6 ft. or so), starting near the house and working outward. Plan the application so you don't box yourself into a corner.
Start by spraying the concrete section with water. Get it wet but don't leave standing water. To create the marbleized look shown here, have a helper hold the shields in the kerfs (if necessary) and apply the first color (base coat) of stain in a circular pattern (Photo 3). The base coat makes the second color more prominent. Immediately after spraying, mist the section with water and apply the second color (Photo 4). Then spray more water over the top to create swirls or small runs in the second color (Photo 5). The first and second colors will intermix, producing the marbleized effect. Use the water to "push" the color all the way to the edges or onto bare spots. If the water pools in a low spot or starts to run onto an adjacent section, dab it up with a cloth.
When switching to a new stain color, be sure the lens shields are dry, or use new shields so the old color doesn't run onto the section of the patio with the new color. Don't worry if a leaf or debris blows onto the wet stain. After the stain dries, remove the debris and touch up the stain (see the next step).
Add more stain for deeper color
Let the stain dry for 24 hours. If the color isn't as vibrant as you want or the coverage is spotty, go back and add another coat of stain. Wet the concrete and apply the stain using the same steps as before. We added a second coat to the corner squares of our patio to give them a deeper, richer color.
You'll probably find bare spots that you missed, especially along the edges. Touch-up is simple. Fill a spray bottle with stain, spray the stain on a cloth and dab it on the bare spot (Photo 7).
Finish with the sealer
The manufacturer says the sealing step is optional, but we recommend it because it protects against fading and wear, and it enhances the stain. You'll have to clean the patio with heavy-duty cleaner and give the patio a fresh coat of sealer every three to four years.
Give the stain a full day to dry, then apply the high-gloss sealer. Choose a day or time of day when the patio is shaded (don't apply the sealer in direct sunlight). Start by cutting in with sealer along the patio edges with a 3-in. brush. The milky white sealer turns clear as it's applied. Roll sealer on the rest of the patio with a 3/8-in.-nap roller (Photo 8). Let the sealer dry for two hours, then apply a second coat. Roll the second coat perpendicular to the first coat.
Endless possibilities
This project can be as basic or as elaborate as you make it. Keep it quick and simple by applying a single color to your entire patio. Or divide your patio into sections as we did and color them differently. Apply layers of different colors for a "marbleized" look or spray two colors at the same time for a one-of-a-kind look. If you don't like the result, just keep applying new colors until you get the look you want.
