California Medical Bill Reviewer Certification
Unit 2: Official Medical
Fee Schedule
Module 2: Physician Services General Guidelines
The Official Medical Fee Schedule, or OMFS, includes reimbursement guidelines for the different physician services.
Then, you will learn about the different reports that physician's can use and how to calculate reimbursements correctly.
In this module, you will learn how the OMFS is organized, who can use the OMFS, and the general information and guidelines that apply to the OMFS.
Let's start by discussing how the OFMS is broken down, and who can use the OMFS to bill for services, treatments, and supplies...
Part I: General Information
Part I: General Information
The OMFS includes General Information and Instructions, as well as six major sections.
Medicine includes:
OFMS Sections:
"Any provider, regardless of specialty, may use any section of the OMFS containing procedures performed within his or her scope of practice or license…" EXCEPT:
Evaluation & Management: Only physicians, physician assistants, and nurse practitioners may use E & M codes.
Assessment & Evaluation:
Only physical therapists may use A & E codes.
Osteopathic Manipulation: Only licensed DOs and MDs may use osteopathic manipulation codes.
Consultation: Only physicians may use consultation codes.
Medical Doctors
Licensed Clinical Social Workers
Nurse Practitioners
Orthotists &
Marriage/Family Counselors
Physician's Assistants
Physical Therapists
Now that you are familiar with the types of providers that can use the OMFS, let's take a look at some general guidelines & instructions...
Topics include:
Some listed procedures are carried out as an integral part of a total service, while other procedures are independent of additional services.
Procedures that are integral parts of a total service DO NOT warrant separate identification or reimbursement.
Let's take a look…
For Example:
CPT 95851, which codes for a Range of Motion procedure, is an essential part of a follow up visit for a shoulder injury. Therefore, it WOULD NOT warrant separate reimbursement.
However, if this procedure were the only service performed, it would be considered a separate procedure and should be ALLOWED.
Most procedures listed in the OMFS have a relative value (RV). However, relative values are not listed for all procedures in the OMFS.
Unlisted procedures are typically uncommon or variable services, and are coded as By Report (BR) procedures.
Some chiropractors bill large amounts for the use of this table, when in fact, it is just another form of manual traction.
Unlisted procedures in physical medicine are often used to bill for variations on manual traction or manipulation using a different table or technique.
Sometimes $500-$1000 is charged for a specific chiropractic table known as VAX-D.
Instead of an unlisted code, the CPT 97122, should be used.
Every effort should be made to identify the service performed for those procedure codes that have no listed value.
As you know, providers often misuse the unlisted code when a more appropriate code is available.
Hmm, which code should I use?
What should you do?
If you cannot identify an appropriate code, it is permissible to recommend the allowance of a like code equal in scope, time, and complexity of the service being performed.
You may want to ask for help from your supervisor, or other colleagues familiar with medical reimbursements before paying in full.
If the necessity of the services has been verified, and the service authorized, additional documentation may be requested about the procedure, or an online search may be performed.
Payment in full is a last resort, after all other avenues have been explored.
Supplies and/or materials normally necessary to perform a service are not separately reimbursable.
Only those supplies and materials provided above and beyond items usually included with the service may be separately reimbursed.
These include supplies such as:
Supplies not reimbursed at this rate include:
Special Service Characteristics:
CPT 99025: Initial visit when billed with a starred procedure.
CPT 99048: Lengthy or repeated telephone calls by providers to employers or other appropriate agencies regarding an injured worker's return to work.
CPT 99049: Missed Appointment.
CPT 99050: Services provided after hours.
CPT 99058: Services provided on an emergency basis.
CTP 99065: Outside regular hours.
CPT 99071: Educational supplies such as tapes, pamphlets, books.
CPT 99086: Reproduction of chart notes.
CPT 99087: Duplicate reports.
Prolonged Service Code Characteristics:
Direct (Face to Face) Contact
Without Direct Contact
Let's take a look…
Direct (Face to Face) Contact
Outpatient setting:
Inpatient setting:
Without Direct Contact
CPT 99358: used when a physician spends 15 minutes or more reviewing records and tests, or communicating with other medical professionals, during or following direct contact with a patient.
Now that you are familiar with some of the services that service providers bill for, you are ready to learn how providers report everything…
Let's start by comparing reimbursable and non-reimbursable reports...

Special Reports
Treatment Reports
Not Separately Reimbursable
Separately Reimbursable
Treatment Reports
Special Reports
Special reports may include:
Special reports are reimbursed using the Medicine Conversion Factor (CF) multiplied by the Relative Value (RV).
Special Reports
Special Reports Relative Value:
CF and RV can be found on OMFS
Table A!
Special Reports (99080) are listed under the Medicine section.
Recall that the Medicine conversion factor is $6.15.
RV x CF x 0.95 = TOTAL REIMBURSEMENT
6.0(1 page)
+ 4.0(5 pages)
= 26.0
26.0 x $6.15 x 0.95 =$151.91
Each section of the OMFS has general guidelines that provide information about specific ground rules and modifiers that apply to that section.
Let's take a look…
Ground Rules include topics such as:
so that correct reimbursements are issued.
Modifiers indicate that a procedure was altered by additional circumstances, but was not changed from its standard definition.
Modifiers may indicate circumstances such as:
For a complete list of modifiers, see the OMFS.
Together, conversion factors and relative value units are used to calculate the appropriate reimbursement for any procedure, treatment, or supply.
RV x CF x 0.95 =

Let's take a look…
Conversion Factor
Relative Value
Reduction Percent
Procedure Code
OMFS Maximum
Although the bill review system calculates reimbursements, it is important that you understand how reimbursement calculation works.
Let's take a look…
Why do we multiply the total value by 0.95?
To calculate reimbursements, multiply the Relative Value (RV) by the Conversion Factor (CF) of each procedure, less 5%.
100 – 5 = 95
So, to reduce the total reimbursement by 5%, you need to multiply the total by 95%.
RV x CF x 0.95 = TOTAL REIMBURSEMENT
What is the relative value?
What is the conversion factor?
What is the relative value?
What is the conversion factor?
RV x CF x 0.95 = 44.8 X 6.15 X 0.95 = $261.74
What is the relative value?
What is the conversion factor?
Why is the calculated reimbursement lower than the OMFS maximum?
What is the relative value?
What is the conversion factor?
RV x CF x 0.95 = 9 X 8.5 X 0.95 = $72.68
Did you remember that reimbursement rates cannot fall below the Medicare rate?
Notice that the reduction percentage is 0%, not 5%.
Because the reimbursement amount would have fallen below the Medicare rate with a 5% reduction, the reimbursement was reduced by a smaller amount. In this case, it wasn't reduced at all!
But, as you can see, knowing how to calculate reimbursements may help you identify errors during bill review or troubleshoot problems when reviewing challenging bills.

People at higher risk of skin cancer are those who:
Sun exposure is the cause of most skin cancer. Less than 5% of all melanomas can be explained by an inherited gene.
Risk factors for family skin cancer include:
The more moles you have on your skin, the higher the risk of the most dangerous type of skin cancer – melanoma.
Moles are overgrowths of melanocytes (a type of skin cell). We are not normally born with moles, but most of us will develop some on our skin by 15 years of age.
The number of moles we develop is determined by genetic (inherited) factors and exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation.
Australians tend to have more moles than people living in other countries, possibly because of childhood sun exposure.
Moles can range in colour. They are generally medium to dark brown but can also be skin-coloured or black.
The majority of moles are flat, relatively even in colour and regular in shape. Some moles are raised and these are usually soft to touch and lighter in colour.
These moles look different to ordinary moles and may evolve to melanomas. If you have multiple dysplastic moles you are at greater risk of melanoma. Your doctor may recommend regular checks with a dermatologist (skin specialist).
See your doctor if you think you have moles with the following 'dysplastic' features:
Skin types which are more sensitive to ultraviolet (UV) radiation burn more quickly and are at a greater risk of skin cancer.

Seeing is believing, particularly in Underoaths case. Whatever your feeling about their thunderous, increasingly complex and dynamic metalcore tsunami, their performances are a sight to behold. Writhing and shaking as though in the midst of a full-body seizure, the Florida six-piece appear on the verge off physically vibrating apart as they unleash their musical maelstrom. They spent years in basements and VFW halls honing their muscular sound and building their audience, before breaking out with 2004s more radio-friendly Theyre Only Chasing Safety, featuring new singer Spencer Chamberlain and bringing to a close several years of lineup turnover. While pleased with the response, they found the sound too poppy, and followed it with 2006s sinewy Define the Great Line. Bigger than Chasing Safety in every way, its louder, tougher and more majestic, deploying its aggression strategically, not unilaterally. Their September release, Lost in the Sound of Separation, continues the evolution, upping the concision, melody and anthemic sweep without diminishing the intensity. They even unveil moments of beauty untouched by screaming or roar, such as the penultimate track, Too Bright To See, Too Loud to Hear, with its dreamy shimmer, handclaps and choir of voices asking, Good God, can you still get us home?

Mumbai: Pakistani-American Lashkar-e-Taiba terrorist David Coleman Headley, currently imprisoned in the US, informed a court here late on Thursday night that he was prepared to turn an approver and depose in the 26/11 Mumbai terror attacks case in return for a pardon.
Headley, who appeared before a court through a video-conferencing from an unidentified location in the US, expressed his willingness to Sessions Judge G.A. Sanap during the hearing.
Special Public Prosecutor Ujjwal Nikam, who conducted the 26/11 trial earlier, sought time to consult the investigating officers for which the court was adjourned for half an hour.
Headley confirmed that he had received the charge sheet filed against him in the Mumbai court, charging him with the same conduct for which he was also charged in the US.
"I had pleaded guilty to the charges in the US and I admitted I was a participant in these charges," he told the Mumbai court.
He added he had accepted the responsibility for his role in the offences in the US and also to make himself as witness in the Mumbai court.
"I am here ready to answer questions – if I receive a pardon from this court," pleaded Headley who is currently serving a 35-year sentence in a US jail for his role in the 26/11 Mumbai terror strikes which left 166 dead and hundreds injured.
His deposition before the Mumbai court follows an order by Judge Sanap on November 18 asking him to be presented via video-conference on December 10.
Police had sought the court's permission to write to the US Deparment of Justice as Headley had been convicted in the US, but never faced the Indian courts.
On several trips to India, Headley had carried out recces of some of locations, including Hotel Taj Mahal Palace and Hotel Trident, targeted by the Pakistani terrorists who sneaked into Mumbai from sea.
In 2009, he again travelled to India and recced more locations in other cities, including New Delhi. On one trip, he became close friends with Rahul Bhatt, son of eminent film maker Mahesh Bhatt.
Headley, now 54, has also been suspected or charged with involvement in several terrorist cases around the world and had made video-recordings of some of the sites targeted in the 26/11 attack.

Hey all, I am just starting to get into reloading. I purchase a used Dillon 550 press. I am going at this on my own as I do not have anyone to "show me the ropes". I have everything set up, brass is cleaned, and I am ready to go.
I will be starting off reloading 9mm.

I like Accurate #2. I find it burns a little cleaner and faster than #5. They both work good with the powder measure, though.
Get your powder and primers locally unless you are going to buy enough to offset the Haz Mat shipping fee in taxes.
I started with Hogden Universal, which did fine, then switched to Accurate only because they had a specific recipe for my Ranier Bullets.

Unique is my powder of choice for just about all my handgun loadings including the 9mm.
I've not done a lot of experimentation with various propellant powders in the 9mm. Unique seems to give top performance with APPARENTLY less pressures in all my auto pistol cartridges from .25 ACP to .45 ACP. Even my 9mm Luger likes Unique fueled loads.
I like Bullseye myself.

+1 on AA2; it is just about the cleanest powder out there for target loads or something you want to use in an IDPA match. Winchester 231 is another really good powder as well.
Just make sure if you are loading 9mm to check those rounds with a chamber gauge before you start throwing rounds into the bag! be advised that since 9mm is a tapered case, after you load it 2 or three times the cases will begin to "bell out" around the rim, which will cause the round to jam up in the chamber, and they are very difficult to get loose.
"Guard with jealous attention the public liberty. Suspect everyone who approaches that jewel. Unfortunately, nothing will preserve it but downright force. Whenever you give up that force, you are inevitably ruined". - Patrick Henry
I've gotten by with 231. A recent batch with titegroup seemed to work well also.

Another +1 to Winchester 231. I use it to load 9mm, .40 and .45 rite now. Also look at HP38, same load data as Win231, and sometimes a little cheaper.
I buy from Powder Valley. Powder Valley, Inc. They have the cheapest price I have found, and I only leave 15 miles away. Check your powder loads. 9mm is a small case that leaves little remove for mistakes. Here is another web site to get more reloading info Reloader's Nest - a reloaders resource, but try to find more the one person on there that used the same loads. ALWAYS work your loads up to the max. NEVER start there. Max loads very from gun to gun. A friend and I shoot the same gun, but he show pressure before I did.

After my last post on limiting bandwidth usage on a Xen node I thought I would follow up with how to monitor the bandwidth usage of a Xen node.
I chose to use netacct-mysql to monitor bandwidth and store the results into a mysql database. This isn't the only way of monitoring the bandwidth but it was easy to set up and stores the information directly into mysql without needing any extra scripts.
On the Xen setup I'm using for an example there are 3 nodes and a bucket for each node will be created in the mysql database by netacct. Setting up netacct can be tricky so you will want to check to make sure traffic for each node is going into the correct bucket.
Your naccttab file will look something like:
database mysql
mysql_user acct
mysql_password acct_password
mysql_host localhost
mysql_port 0
mysql_database netacct
pidfile /var/run/nacctd.pid
compactnet 192.168.1.1 255.255.255.255
compactnet 192.168.1.2 255.255.255.255
compactnet 192.168.1.3 255.255.255.255
ournet 192.168.1.1 255.255.255.255
ournet 192.168.1.2 255.255.255.255
ournet 192.168.1.3 255.255.255.255
flush 30
errdelay 2
fdelay 60
device peth0
ignorenet 127.0.0.0 255.0.0.0
debug 0
debugfile /tmp/nacctd.debug
A couple notes on setting up netacct:
- nacctd runs on Xen0 so it can capture all the traffic from the XenU nodes.
- The naccttab config file needs to go into /usr/local/etc in case it isn't obvious from the README.
- You need to make sure you have the correct Xen0 device set up as the listen device in the naccttab config file.
- If the mysql database is on the Xen0 node then you probably don't need a username or password in the config file.
After running netacct for some amount of time you can query the database it is logging to and get a count of all the different nodes and their bandwidth usage. Try this query out:
That will show a total sum of bandwidth in gigabytes broken down by ip.
To get just the current month you would want this query:
Now that you have traffic counts and can query the tables it is time to show some graphs and reports. I chose to do that in php so that I could display the results on the web. Start with my PHP RRDTool tutorial if you don't already know how to use RRDTool with PHP.
To display text with totals if fairly easy since all we need to do is run the above queries and then display the output. Here is an example of doing just that with PHP:
$query_ip = '192.168.1.2';
mysql_connect( '192.168.1.1', 'user', 'pass' ) or die ( 'Unable to connect to server.' );
mysql_select_db( 'netacct' ) or die ( 'Unable to select database.' );
$sql = "select sum(input) inp, sum(output) outp from traffic where ip = '$query_ip' and time between concat(EXTRACT(YEAR_MONTH FROM now()), '01') and now()";
$result = mysql_query( $sql ) or die ( 'Unable to execute query.' );
$row = mysql_fetch_row($result);
$current_inpgigs = round($row[0]/1073741824, 3);
$current_outgigs = round($row[1]/1073741824, 3);
$current_total = round(($row[1]+$row[0])/1073741824, 3);
$sql = "select sum(input) inp, sum(output) outp from traffic where ip = '$query_ip' and time between concat(EXTRACT(YEAR_MONTH FROM date_sub(now(), interval 1 month)), '01') and concat(EXTRACT(YEAR_MONTH FROM now()), '01')";
$result = mysql_query( $sql ) or die ( 'Unable to execute query.' );
$row = mysql_fetch_row($result);
$last_inpgigs = round($row[0]/1073741824, 3);
$last_outgigs = round($row[1]/1073741824, 3);
$last_total = round(($row[1]+$row[0])/1073741824, 3);
echo "Current: $current_inpgigs GB, $current_outgigs GB, $current_total GB\n";
echo "Last: $last_inpgigs GB, $last_outgigs GB, $last_total GB\n";
If you want to go a step further though you can display traffic graphs using rrdtool. There are two parts to generating the graphs. The first part builds the database and the second part displays graphs based on the database.
Here is an example PHP script that can be used to create and update a database per IP:
define("RRD_DIR", "/tmp/rrd/");
function create_rrd($ip)
$fname = RRD_DIR . $ip . ".rrd";
if( !file_exists($fname) )
$opts = array( "–step", "300", "–start", 0,
$ret = rrd_create($fname, $opts, count($opts));
if( $ret == 0 )
$err = rrd_error();
echo "Create error: $err\n";
function update_rrd($ip)
$sql = "select sum(input), sum(output) from traffic where ip = '$ip'";
$result = mysql_query( $sql ) or die ( 'Unable to execute query.' );
$row = mysql_fetch_row($result);
$fname = RRD_DIR . $ip . ".rrd";
$ret = rrd_update($fname, "N:$row[2]:$row[3]");
if( $ret == 0 )
$err = rrd_error();
echo "ERROR occurred: $err\n";
$update_ip = '192.168.1.2';
mysql_connect( '192.168.1.1', 'user', 'pass' ) or die ( 'Unable to connect to server.' );
mysql_select_db( 'netacct' ) or die ( 'Unable to select database.' );
You will want to put a command in cron to run the above script every 5 minutes to update the database.
The following example PHP script will display a graph of an IP generated from the given database:
$query_ip = '192.168.1.2';
$opts = array( "–start", "-1d", "–vertical-label=B/s",
"AREA:inoctets#00FF00:In traffic",
"LINE1:outoctets#0000FF:Out traffic\\r",
"GPRINT:inbits:AVERAGE:Avg In traffic\: %6.2lf %Sbps",
"GPRINT:inbits:MAX:Max In traffic\: %6.2lf %Sbps\\r",
"GPRINT:outbits:AVERAGE:Avg Out traffic\: %6.2lf %Sbps",
"GPRINT:outbits:MAX:Max Out traffic\: %6.2lf %Sbps\\r"
$ret = rrd_graph("/tmp/images/${query_ip}_1d.gif", $opts, count($opts));
if( !is_array($ret) )
$err = rrd_error();
echo "rrd_graph() ERROR: $err\n";
That is all there is to it. A more complex set of PHP scripts would allow you to limit access to graphs by user id and could be used by owners of XenU nodes to monitor their bandwidth usage as well as the owner of the box for billing.

Bus Driver Beats Student With Broom Handle [Video]
Wait! Before you jump to conclusions…The 14-year-old student admits that she started the fight but said that does not excuse a full-grown woman from attacking a child. The Indianapolis bus-ride beat down is under investigation and the driver has been suspended.
A middle school student got the shaft when her bus driver beat her with a broom handle.
Autumn Bonilla, 14, claims she almost blacked out when Charlotte McDaniel, 41, allegedly took the broom to her face and broke her nose on the Indianapolis school bus — but admits to starting the ruckus. "I completely 100% admit that I started it. I'm not going to sit here and lie to you. I did start it. But that (doesn't) give a grown woman a reason to put her hands on me at all," Autumn told WXIN.
The teen says she swore at McDaniel while she attempted to discipline another student which turned into an argument about Bonilla's cellphone use. "She told me I had to put my phone away, and I told her I wasn't putting anything away," she said.
Indianapolis Public School superintendent Lewis Ferebee told WXIN the district does not approve of how McDaniel handled the situation.
"Very concerned and want to assure our community that driver or any driver that exhibits those behaviors will not be allowed to transport our students," he said. Molly Heart, a spokeswoman for McDaniel's employer Durham School Services, told the Daily News that the investigation is ongoing.
McDaniel, who has been placed on leave pending the investigation, could not be reached for comment.
What are your thoughts on this? Is the bus driver in the wrong??

Why does my forehead Botox last only 1 month?
Doctor Answers 15
Most people enjoy the results of their treatments for 3-4 months with optimal dosing
There are a variety of factors that could play a role in how long your Botox lasts.
If you are a first time Botox user, the injector may have only used a minimal amount of Botox. A follow up appointment two weeks is recommended to discuss any concerns. A possible touch up at that time is possible as well for additional units. To be sure, see two or more board-certified providers in your area for a complete evaluation to make sure you are a good candidate and that it is safe for you to have treatment.
I hope this helps.

love! (but im super biased when it comes to kate moss!)
Boring! Stella looks better than Kate.
Love her, Love Stella, Love the dress
beautiful dress but a little too normal for the event. I'm surprised that she didn't wear some like super crazy outfit...
Love the dress! Not sure what it's got to do with the theme, but it's Kate, so she can pull it off. She looks great.
See, even a rehabbed druggie (no offense) knows better. Lovely dress. The designer and her muse have this very edgy-disco vibe. Go girls!
I love her dress! and her hair and makeup! Better yet, the dress actually looks wearable on even a normal-sized woman.
I like the glamour and she looks incredible, love her...but I find it weird think of Kate without her boots on...=D
It's beautiful.
the hair is really well done, though.
this dress is just so...normal. almost anyone could pull off that look. not stunning at all but still a nice dress.
She looks like a little winsome fairy. BEAUTIFUL.
I LOVE it, but it seems too safe for her.

|Reviews for Possession
| sleepynightvale chapter 1 . 10/14/2011
Lovely. I love the thought of them both being possessive lovers and this was the embodiment of possessive. Great job! :D
| Daydreaming Nightwalker chapter 1 . 2/2/2010
EXCELLENT! Everyone loves a good love triangle...
| Call-me-Cassandra chapter 1 . 1/24/2010
I liked the idea that Tonks knew about Sirius and Remus and was just biding her time until she could move in on Remus, which I think works really well with cannon in that she was so upset after Sirius died because Remus still didn't want her. It is a lovely piece, and I think that the duality at the end, where it is not just Sirius being possessive, but Remus as well, really brings it home.
| JacksonFrost chapter 1 . 12/2/2009
I love this. I've seen countless Remus/Sirius fics when they were in school, but never when Tonks was in the picture. Very interesting perspective!

Today's Daily Digit
A somewhat subjective rating of the day's weather, on a scale of 0 to 10.
Express Forecast
Today: Partly to mostly sunny. Highs: Upper 30s to low 40s.
Tonight: Partly to mostly cloudy. Lows: Near 20 to mid-20s.
Tomorrow: Partly to mostly cloudy. Highs: Mid-30s to near 40.
Slowly but surely we are wrestling ourselves away from this latest winter blast. After reaching the freezing mark in D.C. yesterday, we aim for near or even a bit past 40 today. We may step back a few degrees tomorrow, but should rebound into the 40s on Friday and into the 50s this weekend as the clocks spring forward. There is however one blip that still bears watching, which is an area of low pressure trying to graze us with light precipitation Thursday night into Friday morning.
Temperature Map
Today (Wednesday): Sprawling high pressure centered north of the Great Lakes sends light breezes from the north our way. That keeps temperatures well below normal once again, though noticeably improved from yesterday after we get past another chilly morning. Partly to mostly sunny skies push the melting process along as highs reach the upper 30s to low 40s. Those winds from the north average near or under 10 mph. Confidence: High
Tonight: Skies turn partly to mostly cloudy and breezes pick up from the north-northeast. Both the clouds and the wind should help keep temperatures from falling too far. Lows likely settle near 20 to the mid-20s. Confidence: Medium-High
For related traffic news, check out Dr. Gridlock. Keep reading for the forecast through the weekend…
Tomorrow (Thursday): Low pressure off the Southeast coast creeps north in our direction. Don't think we'll see any precipitation just yet, but skies are probably partly to mostly cloudy with highs in the mid-30s to near 40. Winds from the northeast turn more from the east later in the day. Confidence: Medium-High
Snow Potential Index
A daily assessment of the potential for at least ~1″ of snow in the next week, on a 0-10 scale. More info
Tomorrow night: The models continue to tease with precipitation approaching the area from the south after around midnight but stopping just short. Although odds of the moisture making it a little further north seem to be declining, we'll still allow for a 20-30% chance of a light wintry mix under mostly cloudy skies. Lows dip to the upper 20s to low 30s. Confidence: Low-Medium
Most signs suggest the system to our south will head out to sea on Friday, leaving us with just a chance of a morning rain or snow shower and nothing more. There's still a small chance the system could try to come further north. But assuming it doesn't, then the day should turn out just fine with increasing sun by afternoon and highs in the 40s, followed by Friday night lows near 30 to the mid-30s. Confidence: Low-Medium
Spring-forward weekend offers just a touch of spring, with highs into the much more pleasant 50s both Saturday and Sunday, and Saturday night lows in the 30s. Skies should be partly to mostly clear throughout, except perhaps more cloudy Saturday night into Sunday morning when a weak cold front could trigger a passing rain or snow shower. Confidence: Medium-High

This tea is delicious and has a nice, almost citrus-y zing from the hibiscus (or rosella) flower. The ginger in it is very subtle. The tea has a stunning deep cyclamen colour so it looks sweet, but it's not sweet at all. I love to put a small amount of raw honey in my cup, it really complements the flavour. This is my favourite tea at the moment so I'm sure I'll be buying it again!

Location: Forage Seed and Cereal Research2012 Annual Report
1a. Objectives (from AD-416):
Objective 1. Develop economical conservation practices for grass seed production systems that effectively reduce sediment transport and maintain water quality, crop productivity, and wildlife habitat. • Sub-objective 1.1. Develop biophysical data at a watershed scale that quantify the effectiveness of selected conservation practices within grass seed production systems in reducing sediment transport and maintaining water quality. • Sub-objective 1.2. Quantify the relative contributions of grass seed fields and adjacent riparian zones to aquatic and avian wildlife habitat quality. • Sub-objective 1.3. Develop indicators of ecosystem service capacity that are geo-spatially linked to agricultural practices. • Sub-objective 1.4. Optimize the placement of conservation practices and precision agricultural inputs that account for in-field variability in seed yield. Objective 2. Provide value-added opportunities for local-scale conversion of grass straw into bioenergy. • Sub-objective 2.1. Quantify the geo-spatial distribution of straw and associated feedstock transportation costs and the impact of cost on the conversion scale suitable for the Pacific Northwest. • Sub-objective 2.2. Conduct an on-farm pilot trial to evaluate the feasibility of commercializing local-scale thermochemical conversion of straw into bioenergy within an annual farming operation cycle. • Sub-objective 2.3. Quantify the impact of straw removal from a perennial grass seed production system on carbon sequestration and soil quality. • Sub-objective 2.4. Characterize straw ash chemical composition and the potential for application as fertilizer additive and soil carbon supplementation. Objective 3. Integrate available information regarding production, conservation, and potential value-added enterprises to improve whole-farm profitability and accomplish conservation goals and requirements in support of USDA Farm Bill Conservation Title. • Sub-objective 3.1. Quantify the impact of agricultural pollution abatement strategies and policy instruments for optimal selection and placement of conservation practices to maximize farm profitability and environmental quality and enhance rural quality of life. • Sub-objective 3.2. Evaluate relative economic and environmental services trade-offs of introducing bio-based energy production into existing agricultural production systems.
1b. Approach (from AD-416):
Societal expectations that U.S. agriculture provide stable supplies of food and fiber while maintaining or enhancing natural resource quality require agricultural systems that achieve multiple objectives while maintaining profitability. Optimizing the use of production options, including new value-added opportunities in bioenergy along with Farm Bill Conservation Title incentives, while minimizing the impact of rapidly rising fuel and fertilizer costs is critical in achieving these multiple objectives. This research project will develop new information on ecosystem services provided by perennial grass seed cropping systems under contrasting management practices, evaluate the potential for converting agricultural residues produced by these systems into an on-farm value-added revenue stream, and quantify the impact of residue removal on soil and water quality. This new information will be utilized in the computer-assisted optimization routines to identify sets of management options that enable producers and policy-makers to make informed decisions that achieve societal and producer expectations of productivity, sustainability, and profitability. The information and technologies developed within agroecosystems that are unique to the Pacific Northwest (PNW) represent an integral part of the CEAP (Conservation Effects Assessment Program), REAP (Renewable Energy Assessment Program) and GRACEnet (Greenhouse Gas Reduction through Agricultural Carbon Enhancement network) projects and will be widely applicable to agroecosystems across the country that provide the focus for these national initiatives.
3. Progress Report:
Progress was made on all 3 objectives, all of which fall under National Program 216, Component I, Agronomic Crop Production Systems, and Component 4, Integrated Technology and Information to Increase Customer Problem Solving Capacity. This project focuses on Problem 1.B, the need to produce energy crops in different agricultural regions of the U.S. and to identify the impacts of energy production on whole-farm economics and natural resource quality, and on Problem 4.B, the need to determine the technical limits and feasibility of integrating new technologies to increase agricultural efficiency and economic competitiveness. Under objective 1.B1, we made significant progress in using a farm-scale gasification reactor to convert Kentucky bluegrass seed mill screenings into syngas. The syngas had sufficient energy and quality to replace 35% of the diesel fuel required to power a 100 kW generator sized to provide electricity for the entire farm. The heavy metal and organic compound content of char produced by process was below the level considered deleterious for soil or plant productivity. In subsequent greenhouse experiments, the char improved the productivity of wheat when used as a soil supplement. The char improved water retention of soil and increased soil pH, reducing aluminum toxicity. To address objective 4D we developed models for production of grass seed crops within Soil Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) that incorporated realistic dates for common management activities. These models provided better estimates of nitrate and sediment yield than the default options for National Land Cover Database (NLCD) 2001 land uses. Applying these models to the years for which we have detailed crop/land use and water quality data, we validated the existence of low, medium, and high Nitrogen-impact sub-basins previously identified in the Calapooia River Basin, Oregon. These results informed producers and policymakers of the relative contributions of farming practices and local weather conditions to the movement of nitrogen and sediment into surface waters in western Oregon, many of which are impacted by listings of threatened or endangered salmonid fishes. Crop and management operations modeled in SWAT are useful in predicting the magnitude of water quality responses to changes in crop production and management practices used or encouraged by government programs. (Since there is almost no participation in federal conservation programs in the Willamette Valley, we evaluated the effect of an environmental incentive policy. In this policy a water quality objective is specified using a biophysical model and a second objective, farm profit, is specified using a farm level optimization model.) We calculated the trade-offs between farm profit and nitrate loadings to evaluate alternative green taxes targeted at the farm and watershed levels we identified optimal solutions which identified policy offering trade-offs among objectives that were better (higher profit, less nitrate loading) and more cost effective than could be achieved with a watershed level targeting of the green tax. We used the hybrid genetic algorithm and found it was the optimal set of solutions.
4. Accomplishments
1. Gasification char has utility as a soil amendment. The effects of char produced from gasification of Kentucky bluegrass residues on plant productivity when used as a soil amendment, and consequently, its utility as a value-added product was unknown. ARS researchers at Corvallis, Oregon, conducted greenhouse trials which proved that when used as a soil amendment, the char increased soil pH, reduced the uptake of aluminum by wheat plants, and improved biomass production. Chemical analyses of the char also demonstrated that returning char to the production fields sequestered significant quantities of carbon and returned potassium and phosphate to the soil. This accomplishment showed that char produced by on-farm gasification has economic and agronomic value as a soil amendment and will enhance the economic feasibility of on-farm gasification of agricultural residues.
2. Prediction of agricultural related nitrogen and sediment movement to streams. Comprehensive hydrologic models such as the Soil Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) are vital for assessing the impact of varying concentrations of Nitrogen or sediment within waterways over time and for converting those measurements into estimates of the impact under different weather or cropping scenarios. Crops and management operations modeled in SWAT are also useful ways to determine the magnitude of water quality responses to hypothetical changes in crops selected for production and management options available for use or encouraged by government programs. ARS researchers at Corvallis, Oregon, developed models for production of western Oregon grass seed crops within SWAT that incorporated realistic dates for common management activities such as planting, fertilizing, and harvesting, and found that these models provided better estimates of nitrate and sediment yield than the default options for National Land Cover Database (NLCD) 2001 landuses. Applying these models to the years for which there was detailed crop/land use and water quality data validated the existence of low, medium, and high N-impact subbasins previously identified in the Calapooia River Basin. These results informed producers and policymakers of the relative contributions of farming practices and local weather conditions to the movement of nitrogen and sediment into surface waters in western Oregon.
3. Agriculture conservation practices increase amphibian habitat accessibility. Agricultural ecosystems are potential habitat for amphibians in areas where historical aquatic breeding habitats and upland hibernacula (shelter of hibernating animal) have been lost and can also act as barriers to amphibian movement between aquatic breeding habitats and upland overwintering hibernacula. Conservation efforts such as crop residue management practices, riparian buffers (inhabiting or situated on the bank of a river), and reduced tillage practices have the potential to mitigate the impacts of agriculture on local species by improving habitat quality and connectivity in agriculturally dominated systems. ARS researchers at Corvallis, Oregon, analyzed the effect of field level conservation efforts employed in the Calapooia watershed, (Central Willamette Valley) in Oregon, on amphibian species diversity at multiple spatial scales. There was a positive association between amphibian species diversity and the percentage of land in a conservation practice at the sub-basin scale, but not at smaller spatial scales (e.g., 150, 250, 500, and 1,000 meter buffer zones from the breeding sites). This study suggested that conservation practices implemented on grass seed cropping systems increase habitat connectivity for local amphibian species, allowing for greater species diversity at aquatic breeding sites in these agricultural landscapes.
4. A more powerful execution of modeling behavior. The linkage between economic and environmental models has been limited because each model functions independently. This type of modeling approach is limited in power. ARS researchers at Corvallis, Oregon, introduced a revolutionary new method that links models in such a way that independent models exchange information throughout their complex computations. Researchers implemented this method by using a hybrid genetic algorithm that linked a full biophysical model with an economic optimization model to find the optimal trade-offs between multiple objectives. The hybrid genetic algorithm allows for the optimization of an economic model to construct a competing objective to environmental objectives specified by the biophysical model. Making the optimization of economic objectives an integral part of the calculation of trade-offs simulates the response of producers to a policy. Also, it provides a basis for policymakers to seek solutions to environmental issues while preserving agricultural profitability.

The 2015 Pinarello RCX is a carbon cyclocross bike with the handling of a top-end road bike and the sturdiness of your off-road racers.
The Pinarello RCX is a result of continuous research and testing in new materials, geometries, and systems. Every frame, fork, and component is tested on Montello and in the Dolomites. The FCX is derived from the greatly acclaimed Dogma K and has the responsive handling of a road bike with the help of its durable 30HM12k carbon.
The Pinarello FCX has slightly rounder and more curved tubing than the Pinarello road frames which helps for when the race situations call for shouldering the bike. The FCX fork rake and seatstay length are tweaked for a slightly longer wheelbase. The FCX has a slightly longer top tube and a higher stack than other cross bikes for a more upright riding position.

Another visit to the Veneto.....
... the floor. Good thing I didn't have to "sit" on this occasion or I would have been in trouble!
While walking back to my seat from the WC, I also got an example of the more liberal European attitudes. I noticed a woman breast feeding and she wasn't hiding anything! Over here nobody seems to care about things like that, and this is accepted as normal. As I recall, not too long ago a woman was asked by a security guard to leave the Village Green Mall ...
Sirmione to Padua

The next morning we set out on another Sunday ride and our choice was to take the direct route from Verona to Vicenza even though we knew it was going to be on a pretty busy road. We assumed, correctly, that on a Sunday there would be fewer trucks (almost none in fact) and fewer cars (hard to tell but it was manageable). The ride was 54 km by the time we reached our hotel, Due More, and we made it by 1 pm. That gave us the afternoon to check out ...
To Venice
... We got to our lovely room around one. Everyone else from the group is in the nicer hotel, but we like ours just fine. We did a walkabout through San Marco square with our tour guide Audrey, and she bought us our first gelato. We were then free to roam. Brandi wanted to shop as she had packed no shorts and only one skirt which she didn't like. We spent an hour in H & M and I nearly melted. I was exhausted. We made ...

Overall it was a great day just walking around and seeing the sites one last night. I'm going to miss this ...

I'm always sad to see the summer end but I love Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas so much that I don't even think about beaches and warmth until January hits. Every year January 2nd comes and all I can think about is spring. We have been spoiled here in NYC because this winter so far has been quite tame. Today it was 58 degrees and there was quite a buzz out on the street. However, it wont last and soon the bitter cold will be here and we will be hunkered down inside hibernating all winter long.
My mom came and stayed with us this for 2 and 1/2 weeks. She came before Christmas and stayed until the 5th of January. It was so nice to have her here. She brought her sweet little coco just so the boys could see her. She said it was very stressful to get the dog here but once she was here she was so happy to have all of us to snuggle with her. I took her for walks through Central Park everyday to pick up the boys from school. She has never been around so much noise. If it wasn't another dog barking it was a bus opening its door, honking horns, subways vibrating the ground and motor cycles whizzing by. She loved when we entered the park because all of the sudden she could here the squirrels and birds and smell every single thing she could. I had to leave 10 minutes earlier to pick the kids up everyday because she would stop every 5 feet just to smell some rock. I have to say I loved having her around. I didn't envy my mom who had to take her out at 7 am every morning but I did love seeing her so happy to see us every time we walked in the door. The only thing bad that happened from having Coco here is that I broke my lease agreement and they sent me a letter that I would be evicted if I didn't remove the Coco immediately. I had no idea that we couldn't have dogs visit us. I have seen a few dogs in the building and just assumed visiting was ok. I was very upset by getting the letter and took it quite personally. It also made my mother feel very uncomfortable. I called my landlords and worked it out but I have to say it is something that I will never forget. Other than that drama it was a great holiday.
We have a lot of new things going on. Coolidge just started basketball today. He asked me last spring if he could try basketball. He was in the middle of little league and I could see he was slowly losing interest. I told him I would try to find a league and that he could start in winter. Today was his first day and the smile on his face and the high five he gave me showed me just how much he likes it. I don't know how he will feel about it by the end of the season but I know he is having fun and that is all that matters. I never played sports on a team until high school. Some kids are very mature and love the nature of sports and teams at a young age but I think some are just doing it because mom and dad insist on it. I found the parents to be the most interesting to watch. I had a father sitting next to me who never took his eyes off his book once the entire hour 15 minutes. It made me think that his wife signed their son up and insisted that dad take him. I didn't grow up with a dad like that. My dad was involved in any sport we were involved in. I am thankful for that because it made me sad to think a book was more important than watching his son learn to dribble for the first time. Coolidge also got a new skate board for Christmas. He put on his helmet, pads and wrist guards and went out with his dad to the park. I sent dad because I am not the best person to teach something where he might hurt himself. Ben said he did quite well but didn't get any photos of him. Coolidge is getting tall and too mature. It scares me because soon he wont want to be with me all the time and his friends will be the center of his world.
Brody is growing like weed also. He is in Kindergarten this year and no longer needs his mommy to walk him to the classroom and stay for awhile. The teachers said to me that can't believe they never see me anymore. I have to say I miss being there. Him and his brother are quite close and also drive each other nuts. Coolidge now stays up a half hour later than Brody on week nights. It is very frustrating to Brody because he too wants to be up with him. It was one of the best ideas I ever came up with. They share a room so when they go to bed they stay up playing too late and then are cranky in the morning. By putting Coolidge to bed a half hour later Brody falls asleep within 10 minutes and then Coolidge goes to bed and also falls asleep withing 10 minutes. It has made bed time much easier and peaceful.
I started a new food blog. It has been the most fun thing I have done in a long time. I absolutely love food and cooking. I would love to open my own cafe but I know how much time and energy goes into something like that and being a full time mom is more important to me than a cafe. I am constantly thinking about what to make and how to improve it. I was adding my photos of my food to my facebook page and a friend said I should start a blog. I honestly never thought of doing it and now I can't imagine not doing it. I have quite a few friends and family members texting and emailing me about what they should make with what they have in the fridge. I love that they ask me. It gives me such a great feeling. I want to make an living blogging but as of right now I have earned $3.71. ha ha ha ha. I know it is ridiculous. I also know I have only been doing it for 3 months and I would food blog even if I never made a dime but I just wish I could know how to make a living doing it because I have never loved a job so much in my life. If you haven't seen my blog lately or at all please check it out. Quest for Delish
I also would love to share some great news. My best friend Nicola is going to have TWINS! Yes TWINS! I am so excited for her and Gleb. They have been trying for quite some time and they will be blessed with two babies this July. Congrats you guys. I can't wait to meet the two little cutie pies.

© St. Petersburg Times, published March 7, 2001
ST. PETERSBURG -- State officials closed Patellinis Pizza & Patio Grill at 270 First Ave. N last week because of a rat infestation.
A notice is posted on windows of the grill, saying it was closed by the state Department of Business and Professional Regulation "to protect public health and safety." The restaurant's license is suspended until an inspection by a licensed pest control officer proves that the rats are gone and steps have been taken to keep them out.
The restaurant, which sits across First Avenue N from the Florida International Museum, was closed Friday after an inspection prompted by a complaint, according to the state agency.
The inspector found evidence of rodents in the dining area as well as in storage areas, according to his report.
Efforts to reach the owners Tuesday were unsuccessful.

In the midst of social and political upheaval in Baltimore, retired police officer and US Marine Corps veteran Michael A. Wood Jr. turned to Twitter on Wednesday to share stories of all the awful shit he claims to have witnessed as a local cop. Apparently, Wood decided to tell his story after he "virtually begged local media to give [him] a voice." Wood previously spoke out about his time in the force during a radio interview. A spokesperson for the Baltimore Police Department confirmed to the Huffington Post that Wood was a former officer who retired last year.
On June 24, 2015, Michael A. Wood, Jr, a retired Baltimore police officer, decided to come clean about all the institutional corruption & misconduct that he had witnessed in his 11 years at the Baltimore PD.

Michael A. Wood, who is white and retired from the Baltimore Police as a sergeant in 2014, wrote an email. "I know you have heard stories in the past of things like brake checks, drop offs, bumpy roads, et cetera, so you know that has occurred," he writes. "Nothing can realistically change the possibility of someone exhibiting the callous behavior of using that vehicle as a weapon against the helpless or to stomp a boot into the neck of someone who flees."
Rough rides are a long tradition in Baltimore. In 1992 Kenneth B. Mumaw, a white man then in his 60s, was falsely arrested and banged up in the transport van. The arrest and rough ride were in retaliation. He sued and won a $100,000 settlement.

Donald Trump Terms Top Republican Leader Paul Ryan 'Weak, Ineffective'
Latest polls indicated that Donald Trump is trailing behind his Democratic rival Hillary Clinton. (FILE PHOTO: REUTERS)
Washington: Donald Trump on Tuesday termed House Speaker Paul Ryan a "very weak and ineffective leader" after top leadership of the party began deserting him in the wake of surfacing of a video in which the Republican presidential nominee is seen making lewd remarks about women.
"Our very weak and ineffective leader Paul Ryan had a bad conference call where his members went wild at his disloyalty," Trump, 70, said in an apparent angry tweet against the top party leader.
The tweet from Trump comes a day after House of Representatives Speaker Ryan told his party leaders in an emergency conference call that he would focus on maintaining majority in the Congress and would not be supporting his presidential nominee.
In his first tweet of the day, Trump sought to blame Ryan for not doing well.
"Despite winning the second debate in a landslide (every poll), it is hard to do well when Paul Ryan and others give zero support!," the real estate billionaire from New York, who has 12.3 million followers on Twitter, said.
Latest polls indicated that Trump is trailing behind his Democratic rival Hillary Clinton, 68, by double digit.
After the surfacing of Trump's remarks making lewd comments about women, a large number of Republican leadership has deserted him. More than two dozens of the party leadership has asked him to withdraw from the race.
While Trump has apologised for his remarks made a decade ago, he has refused to drop out. Instead, he has become more aggressive against Clinton and party leaders describing them as turn coats.
Soon after Ryan's conference call with his party leaders, Trump tweeted that Ryan is wasting his time. "Paul Ryan should spend more time on balancing the budget, jobs and illegal immigration and not waste his time on fighting Republican nominee," he tweeted a day earlier.

5 Questions with Tony Delk
Hawks.com: Your bio on NBA.com says you would like to be a broadcaster when your playing days are done. Be a color analyst and tell us what you think of the Hawks moves this off-season.
Tony Delk: I think they are making moves to get the team headed in the right direction. Sometimes you have to shake up an organization to get guys who not only want to play but want to be here, and you have to try to get yourself back on the right page. They are making some good moves, and they continue to add pieces to keep the franchise going in a positive direction.
Hawks.com: You have come off the bench at times in your career, are you excited to get a chance to compete for a starting job?
TD: Well, I have started for teams before, I was a starter in Boston up until the time I got hurt, but this is definitely a good situation for me. It's going to be a challenge, and I welcome that challenge.
Hawks.com: You and Antoine [Walker] have been playing together for a long time (since 1994), and have been traded with each other the last two times. Is there something in your contract that stipulates this?
TD: I think there is one in Antoine's contract, he really wants me to come along with him (laughing). He and I have known each other for many years, and we have had a chance to win some games and to lose some games, but we have become great friends over the years. To have started our relationship in college, and to still continue it 10 years later in the NBA is a great thing.
Hawks.com: On such a young team, you and Antoine come in as the players with the most league experience. What kind of impact do you think you can have on some of the younger players?
TD: I think we have to let them know this is hard work. In order to stay in the league, you have to work hard and be determined, have to try to get better each and every day. Just because you are young, doesn't mean you are always going to be in the league, there are always going to be guys coming after your job. You have to be hungry. You have to love the game, and want to play all the time.
Hawks.com: Since you and Antoine are both Kentucky alums, does that mean that (famous Kentucky booster) Ashley Judd will be making some appearances here?
TD: How did I know that question would come up (laughing). She is a Kentucky fan, not a Hawks fan necessarily, so I don't know that she'll be here, but we'd love to have her.Micah Hart is the Asst. Web Editor for the Atlanta Hawks

Retail franchise that creates, develops, manufactures and markets tableware products.
The Guy Degrenne Franchise group as a tableware franchise creates, develops, manufactures and markets art of entertaining products around the world (table crockery, cutlery, glassware, accessories, culinary, table linen and kitchen linen). In 2007 Guy Degrenne products were sold in 75 countries.
Company Profile
It was in 1948, on Norman land that Guy Degrenne's incredible story began. The man is a descendant of the "Grillous", this brotherhood of blacksmiths-tinsmiths who roamed the countryside casting spoons and forks in tin. He decided to take over his father's smithy and set himself the challenge of democratising cutlery in stainless steel.
One single ambition drove him on: becoming the Art of Entertaining market leader. Despite outstanding dynamism the task wasn't an easy one because of the lack of production tools. The means were modest: seven workers and an old windmill equipped with a paddle wheel. This is when Guy Degrenne's genius went into action: he salvaged stainless steel from the reinforcements of tanks abandoned during the battle of Normandy. The industrial adventure started.
The use of stainless steel was an overwhelming success among consumers very early on, conveying an image of solidity and modernism. Indeed, this material was a lot more solid and easier to look after than silver, white metal or wood that had been used up until then.
At the end of the 60's, Guy Degrenne's activity was prospering and it now had to meet the growing needs of communities and public markets. The company thus entered the industrialisation era.
To satisfy the ever-increasing orders, the company expanded to house the 600 employees that now represented the company.
Guy Degrenne acquired 6 hectares of land in Vire
(Calvados, France) to build
a new
40,000m²production site.
The 70's gave the brand a new boost and so the period of product diversification began.
Now, research, methods, design, communication and marketing departments rubbed shoulders with production lines. The company expanded and openedup to the international market.
In1978 the brand won acclaim and strong recognition from the public. Its famous advertisement of the "Headmaster"presents a nice young dunce, mad about drawing and deaf to his headmaster's orders, doodling cutlery and dishes in class.
This advert greatly helped to anchor the personality of the little Guy Degrenne in the collective memory, thus giving it a strong liking capital.
In 1987 Mr Guy Degrenne sold his company to the "Table de France" holding.
This date also marked the acquisition of a new Limoges porcelain factory in view of expanding the company's activities more widely within the Art of Entertaining.
In 1997 the group was listed on the Paris Stock Exchange's Unlisted Securities Market.
In 2004, the company was given new vigour with Mr
Patrick Roure appointed to the position of President of the Board
of Directors. The overhaul of the Guy Degrenne brand's offer
and image was launched in view of modernising the company.
2005 marked the opening of a flagship store in Village Royal, a Parisian carréd'or (meeting point of major corporate names) in the art of entertaining. This boutique symbolises the brand's new values: sharing, conviviality, simplicity.
In September 2007 Guy Degrenne opened his very first franchised boutique in Angoulême (France). Two more followed in November in Chambery and in Guadeloupe. The brand signed the first of its Master Franchise in Dubai at the same time.
Products and Markets
The group 4 factories throughout the world as well as 6 subsidiaries abroad.It intervenes on the whole of the distribution networks both in France and in the world as well. Furthermore the Guy Degrenne group has developed a subcontracting activity on behalf of third parties (whether art of entertaining players or manufacturers from other sectors) thus enhancing its industrial know-how both in stainless steel as well as ceramics.
Training and Support

Hooray for templates!!! It's a beautiful day here and Rosie and I just came in for lunch and for her to get a quick nap. I just snapped this photo and desperately wanted to scrap it despite the ton of housework I have to do. I just mopped the floor and thought I'd do a quick page while it dried. So hooray for templates!!!!
I thought this was going to be an amazing shot until I came in and saw that I was way overconfident and everything was the same shade of spring muck. So I remembered a tutorial at spraguelab.com (http://spraguelab.squarespace.com/imported-archives/2006/5/12/photoshop-friday-issue-5.html) that made it all dreamy and less mucky looking.
