A vendor waits for customers near chicken cages at a market in Fuyang city, in central China's Anhui province, Sunday, March 31, 2013. Two Shanghai men have died from a lesser-known type of bird flu in the first known human deaths from the strain, and Chinese authorities said Sunday that it wasn't clear how they were infected, but that there was no evidence of human-to-human transmission. A third person, a woman in the nearby province of Anhui, also contracted the H7N9 strain of bird flu and was in critical condition, China's National Health and Family Planning Commission said in a report on its website.

WINAMAC Another local community is taking up the debate over whether or not to allow chickens within city limits.
WKVI reports that the issue was raised at the Winamac town council meeting this week.
They tabled the discussion for a future meeting and plan to look into other communities' ordinances in the meantime.
South Bend began allowing chickens earlier this year.

1997 Directed by Gary Fleder
Smart Girls. Pretty Girls. Missing Girls.
Forensic psychologist Alex Cross travels to North Carolina and teams with escaped kidnap victim Kate McTiernan to hunt down "Casanova," a serial killer who abducts strong-willed women and forces them to submit to his demands. The trail leads to Los Angeles, where the duo discovers that the psychopath may not be working alone.

Morgan Freeman brings his top-notch class to this brilliant thriller. Recommended.
Alex Cross is on the case again, this time on the trail of his abducted niece. He will be forced out of his comfort zone and into the stomping grounds of a sick killer as he traverses the country on the hunt for answers.
Morgan Freeman is pretty damn good as Alex Cross, bringing his calm demeanor to the detective/doctor's leather jacket. Freeman is complimented by a serviceable performance from Ashley Judd, who looks pretty damn good, considering it's been over 15 years since this movie was made.
Given I'd seen this before, I wanted to pay special attention to see if the script/direction telegraphs its late twist, and it seemed it did every chance it got. I'd love to see Freeman's Alex Cross meet up with Tyler Perry's Alex Cross in an Alex Cross time travel film in which solving the murder requires Alex Cross to "Cross" the "streams" and possibly destroy the space-time continuum.
James Patterson's Alex Cross books have always been a decent read. I was intrigued to see what Gary Fleder would make of good source material and just how Morgan Freeman would bring forensic psychologist Cross to life.
Freeman's Cross is a clever and methodical thinker. Thinking outside of the box with a keen criminal mind, he adds a touch of class to a movie that chills and thrills in equal measure. A serial rapist and abductor who "collects" young women is on Cross's radar after his niece is kidnapped. Featuring a strong cast that includes Brian Cox, Cary Elwes,Jeremy Piven and the gorgeous Ashley Judd this has a creep factor with serial killers and escalating fetishists to make your skin…
This review reportedly contains spoilers. I can handle the truth.
oh wow
amazing book and the film did ok, book is better
I came acros this movie on tv and realised again that the James Patterson novel(s) is/are so much better. Although first class actors, the film lacks the intense suspense which you'll find reading the original book.

Judd's commited performance is the one element that saves this mundane thriller from immediate oblivion.
The book was better.
A decent thriller with a very predictable twist. Feels alot like a poor man's "Silence of the Lambs", but still pretty entertaining.
I am amazed by how much I enjoyed this movie. Morgan Freeman makes an excellent Dr. Cross and there are plenty of good actors in the other roles, but what blew me away was Ashley Judd. Her performance is good, but the role she's playing is so well written; it has to be one of the strongest female roles I've seen in years. She's constantly managing to get out of bad situations on her own, without need of rescue, and the movie does an excellent job in the climax of sticking to that paradigm, while still giving Freeman a chance to be a hero. The mystery (or at least, parts of the mystery) are somewhat predictable, but eventually that's not why I was watching anymore. The humans were much more interesting than the plot.
watched this approximately one million times in college. pretty sure my roommate had a crush on ashley judd. cary elwes' southern accent still up there for worst movie accent ever.
I don't know why I felt the need to watch the Alex Cross movies. I have the vague idea I've watched it before on TV years ago and forgot it all promptly.
This is mostly a bad Law and Order episode with more violence, more twists, and an A-list cast.
Post Se7en and Silence of the Lambs psycho-horror-thriller which, while captivating early, fails to maintain the interest throughout and quickly becomes generic and forgettable.
This review reportedly contains spoilers. I can handle the truth.
I like these Alex Cross stories, they feel like some of the best episodes of CSI. Morgan Freeman is excellent in the lead and the story, based on another of James Patterson's novels, makes a very clever thriller.

Dinner Party Blandness: Advice Needed
My husband and I threw a small dinner party (for 6 people) this past Saturday night. As usual, I got a little carried away. I had originally planned to do a very simple roast chicken/asparagus risotto/salad/chocolate raspberry tart/cheese plate. All of which I have cooked successfully many times before (and am rather bored with). But then I, unfortunately, got fancy. I made several dishes I'd never tried before that night, including gazpacho, Moroccan Cornish game hens (recipe from Epicurious) and couscous. Everything turned out... okay. Nothing spectacular, most of it pretty bland. One of the sauces was a disaster because I got my timing wrong and it was still reducing when we sat down to eat. The only thing that worked was the dessert, which I've made roughly 5,000 times before.
So, my question is this: how many of you practice what you are going to prepare for a dinner party before the actual event?
I haven't thrown many dinner parties (I fell like I'm just now entering the "grown-up" stage of being able to cook for people, instead of inviting folks over for pizza and beer), and I'd like to learn the elements of timing, poise, and how to cook good food for good friends. Any advice gratefully accepted!
I rarely cook food I've not cooked before for a dinner party, unless it is for v. close friends (two couples come to mind). I tend to get overly ambitious in my menu planning, and on the day of often remove one or more items from the menu ( more often than not, dessert). I've (finally) come to realize that when I have a dinner party, in addition to wanting to feed people good food, I also want to enjoy the company myself, and keeping the menu simple, or at least limited to items that I've cooked before, allows me to do that (as well as pouring myself a glass of wine 1/2 hour ahead of guests arriving, regardless of how ready I am, or how annoyed with my husband I am given that he is still unshowered!). I now experiment mostly on my husband. But, there are also times when things just don't turn out for some random reason I can't identify. Case in point - cooked rack of lamb last week for the two of us for the umpteenth time, same recipe, and it came out overdone. Absolutely no idea why, and kept berating myself - though at least it was a $12 costco rack of lamb, and not something pricier.
So, my advice is, stick with what you've cooked before, do figure out the timing with a "T-x" schedule, pour yourself a glass of wine, and enjoy.
Edit - I wouldn't say that I "practice" per se, but just draw from things I've made before in designing the menu.
re: MMRuth
Hah.....I just had a backyard party for 45 people and made 3 dishes I had never cooked before. Everything came out just fine....except that DH (who insists on doing the grilling) overcooked some of the pork and all of the salmon. The dishes I made, that I had not made before, were nothing too complex. First was a quinoa side dish that included corn and scallions. Since it was basically like an orzo dish I wasn't too concerned about it not being successful...just tasted it alot while making it. Second was a garlic lime pork tenderloin with an onion marmalade. Again, it was not a complex dish...just a marinade that I hadn't made before and a marmalade I could have omitted if it hadn't worked out. Third was a lime butter sauce for the salmon. Had the salmon not been overcooked it would have been beautiful.
My point is (sorry it took so long to get here) that if you're doing simple dishes - variations of which you've done before - you can usually pull it off. Just taste it frequently while you're making it.
Oh, and don't let your infrequent grill-jockey husband do the cooking! ;)
re: HungryLetsEat
So that was the reason for so much left over salmon. I had been wondering.
re: HungryLetsEat
I suppose practice cooking of the salmon is a lot like asking for directions.
re: yayadave
Yayadave - exactly. He doesn't cook very much....even grilling. I think he wanted to grill for the party for appearances' sake. So when I try to coach him on how long to cook it he gets all p.o.'ed at me. It's as if he thinks the ability to grill something correctly is inate in the male species. Men!
re: HungryLetsEat
Believe me, I've had the experience of not knowing what in the world I was doing over them coals. The frustration and embarrassment left scars. Maybe next time you could stage a practice run for things you're not sure of and have Mr. Grillmaster perform. A run through always helps.
Come to think of it, this past Sunday I took a wrong turn in the wilds of West Virginia and went 40 miles out of my way.
re: MMRuth
MMRuth, I'd have to say I agree with your post most. Over the years, I've learned that I want to enjoy the company as well as make a killer meal. I do try new things, most memorably a mediocre bouillabaisse - but that was a last minute invitation to very close friends, when I was already experimenting in the kitchen. Unfortunately, I don't always have the time, energy, or expense account to practice recipes - so if I'm feeling inspired, I'll try one new dish - but I'll be sure to have a great app, filling salad, tried and true sides, and a tonne of booze! But now that I've gotten over the initial excitement of hosting dinner parties, really, I like to keep things simple so that we can all have a good meal and I'll enjoy the party too. It stresses people out when you're stressed out in the kitchen.
One way I've found to get around this is I'll just casually invite good friends over for dinner during the week. We love to have people over. No pressure, just a coupla friends getting together. That's when I feel I can experiment a little...as expectations are already low!
re: tochipotle
Thanks! I should clarify that when I say that I often remove dessert - that doesn't mean I don't serve dessert, but that it might end up being bought ice cream and berries, rather than something I was planning on making myself.
Been there, done that.
I've learned the hard way that it's usually a good idea to do a "test-run" if I plan on serving a new dish to a group of people, whether it's a dinner party or just my monthly crochet night with the girls. If it turns out, that just means more for me... and if it doesn't, then I can quickly hide the evidence and find something else to serve. I might occasionally wing it if it's a casual dinner with one or two guests, but otherwise I don't like to risk it.
That said, if it's a very interesting dish that uses expensive or hard to find ingredients, a test run isn't always possible. Which brings us to rule #2 for me: try to limit yourself to one new recipe per menu and stick to more familiar dishes for the rest. This way, you'll be secure knowing that at least the rest of your meal will work out even if this one new recipe is a flop.
If all else fails... order in and pretend you made it yourself. :)
I too have learned the hard way that it is best not to serve things to guests that you have not made at once before.
These days I never have a party with food that I haven't cooked before. Years ago, I would try new recipes out for a dinner party, but much like you, things never turned out like I thought they would. Lots of times, recipes need to be tweaked for your own taste and timing can be really off on a recipe. I love to share great food with company and would many times just get caried away planning and cooking. Now, I stick to recipes my husband and I love, and that I've cooked many times. With all the work it takes to have a successful and fun party, you need tried and true recipes. It's to much work cleaning, shopping, setting the table,etc. to try a new recipe on top of it. To be able to enjoy your friends and yourself, don't try something you've never made before. Your friends will remember how much fun they had, how relaxed and comfortable it was to be in your home as much as they remember the food you make. You'll enjoy having people over for dinner much more and do it more often if you make what you know and love!
Chao, I've been in the situation several times and I came to realize the last minute razzle dazzle stressed me and my guests had no clue. So like others commenting here, I practice ahead, keep surprises for v.c.f. or when I "spring a new dish" on dh.
As for perfecting timing, I also run thru a party menu several x's beforehand so I'm better at serving and creating a nice flow thru conversation & courses....but practice is really the best advice I have.
btw-your menu is divine!
Thanks for your replies... I think I did get carried away by the thought of an impressive menu and fancy (for me) food. And ended up driving my poor husband crazy and myself a bit ragged, and lost sight of the fact that the evening was supposed to be FUN! I'll just have to practice more! And, thanks to Chowhound, I'll never run out of ideas. Now to get my cooking abilities to match my aspirations....
re: Chao
I'll be the odd duck and say that I usually go half and half: half things that I've successfully made before and half new dishes that I'd like to try.
I often get requests for old favorites from friends, and they provide me with a secure base for the dinner which I then fill out with more adventurous fare. It keeps it interesting for both my guest and me as a host.
And personally, unless it's truly a formal dinner, what's the worst that can happen? If there's not enough food we can always order pizza.
Chao, The lesson I've learned is planning the menu so you can enjoy time with your guests and not be melting down in the kitchen. For example, this past weekend, I pre-made a Corn Chowder as a first coarse that only required heating to serve. I also pre-made a French salad with mesclun herbs. Prepared in advance were Coburg potato dumplings that only had to be boiled prior to serving. A reduced mushroom sauce for grilled veal steaks required simple microwaving to be ready. So the only actual "cooking" I did besides boiling the dumplings was grilling veal steaks which took about 4 minutes. What's really great about this approach is serving several courses without appearing to be really doing anything. It mystifies non-Chowhounds.
re: Leper
i don't know that chowhounds is the word you're looking for here, but it certainly amazes folks who aren't all that proficient in the kitchen.
when i entertain i usually make dishes i've never made before. that being said, i've been to culinary school and worked in fine-dining for many years. so being organized and realizing the value of mostly everything done ahead of time is a natural for me. i have a solid understanding of progression, both in menu planning and prep, and a very essential knowledge of how something *should* taste.
however, for budding cooks, that k*i*s*s* is the best advice. experiment on your family, learn the importance of things like mis en place and making lists and enjoy your party! don't stress!
I never would have considered doing a 'test run' of everything, but I just heard about a-friend-of-a-friend who does this EVERY TIME. It completely baffled me! Part of the fun is making something and savoring it with friends - if you've made it before, to me it would lose some of its newness. Plus you'd have twice as much food.
I experiment on my hubbie. Usually it works out pretty well (to his enjoyment) and when it doesn't, the local pizza place does a great job too. :)
To me, part of the fun of having a dinner party for friends is trying new things. Usually recipes that serve 6 or 8 that don't lend themselves too well to scaling down to 2 people (whole side filet of halibut, for example). While I don't want to jinx myself, I have to say I almost always make a menu of entirely new dishes when we have parties. I just make sure to read everything in advance and I make a detailed plan so that I can have some things done in advance to maximum my cocktail socializing time. With experience you will be able to amend recipes while cooking so that they turn out to be fabulous. Happy cooking!
re: gourmanda
"Usually recipes that serve 6 or 8 that don't lend themselves too well to scaling down to 2 people".
I agree. I like to try new recipes for holidays and dinner parties, but generally don't have the opportunity to try them out beforehand, due to time constraints, and also due to the fact that my husband is a moderately picky eater. He is not the always the best judge of whether a dish works or not. My (almost) 3 year old eats everything, but I'm not sure if she's the best critic either!
Having said that, I will spend a lot of time reading new recipes and if something sounds very complex, I won't attempt it when I'm having company, particularly on a holiday. I make a combination of some tried and true recipes plus mostly new ones, albeit relatively simple new ones. I also come up with a detailed plan on timing, including everything from when I'll go food shopping and what I will buy where to how much time each thing needs in the oven and at what temperature. I also do as much as possible in advance. All of this helps me, and in the end, the food is generally pretty good.
re: valerie
I usually just cut recipes for 6-8 in half to cook for the two of us and rarely have an untoward outcome (other than leftovers, which are good for lunch the next day).
re: MMRuth
Yes, and some recipes certainly lend themselves to that. I'm talking about menus for 6-8 or 10 that typically are more involved (lots of prep time, several dishes, etc) and therefore seem to be worth the time for a larger group, not always for just the 2 of us. (Not that I don't also slave away on occasion for my darling husband!)
re: gourmanda
Mine is not a scaling down issue but sometimes a dietary one. I usually save those 'OMG that looks sinful' recipes for potlucks and dinner parties. That way I can have a little bit and share the rest.
Chao, your objective, clear-headed self assessment of the food and the process by which you got there last Saturday night indicates you will be having few problems in the future. Do have fun.
A few easy tips are, make yourself a prep list of absolutely everything that has to be done to get yourself ready. If the list is making you short of breath before you even get started, cut out whatever causes panic.
If you want an involved menu, choose things that don't happen all at once, or take up space in the same place. Maybe some things can be served at room temp, and held in the fridge, something can be braising in the oven, and if you feel a little green, be sure to have no more than one item that takes a lot of attention once your guests arrive.
For a little zim zam zoom without the worry of one chance and one chance only of success, have a tasting party. Make a marinated grilled chicken that you love, a few salads that you love, two different stuffed soft tortillas (spinach and hominy or shrimp and scallop?) and three gazpachos recipes for tasting. Make three different drinks alcoholic or not and a flan or buttermilk cake with two different toppings (even as simple as fresh berries with cream or berries purred with orange zest and sugar.
I throw dinner parties all the time. My rules of thumb are to keep it simple while highlighting your best dishes. Think thematically so everything compliments one another and be inspired by seasonal ingredients to change it up and make things interesting. I never practice in advance but if I am having anxiety, I turn to cookbooks for inspiration. My favorite are Rocco DiSpirito's. He has easy recipes and complicated ones, but there is always something there to inspire me and keep me focused. The only times a dish doesn't turn out is if I follow someone else's recipe too closely instead of following my own instincts (in the case of someone saying to add salt to a seafood dish or something). Stay organized with your prep work and pay attention to doing multiple things at once.
re: gottasay
My advice to you, would be to go out and buy "Ina Garten's/barefoot contessa Parties" cookbook. If you don't want to buy it, take it out of your library. She has had many dinner parties over 30 years, and give lots of great ideas. She also shares her stories of her least happy experiences. It's a great read, and lots of great, easy recipes. One of the things about Ina Garten's recipes, is they may be easy, but she uses expensive ingredients. However, I love most everything I tried.
And good luck with entertaining. When I was young and just starting, it was difficult for me also, as it is with most. Now, I have simple food, good company, and many laughs.
Bravo for trying something new. I think by trying new stuff, you learn. As long as it doesn't stress you out or keep you in the kitchen too long (and away from your guests), it all sounds good to me.
i tend to try recipes that i've never tried before for dinner parties and bbq's. it's because i want to serve something different to my friends every time they come over rather than make something they've had before (unless they specifically request i make something again). i also like trying out new recipes and cooking techniques because it's fun, but i need some help in actually eating it all so it turns in to a dinner party. of course, many of my friends either don't cook and/or live off of pizza, subs and beer. so, they tend to be good test subjects.
i have been burned before though. i thought it would be a good idea to try making coq au vin one sunday afternoon for our friends coming over to watch football. i used a tyler florence recipe and it was just awful. easily the worst thing i have ever made. we ended up ordering pizza.
if i'm trying something very new, i tend to start the dinner out with a disclaimer like "i just want you guys to know that this is my first time making this dish/using this technique so if it's bad i apologize in advance." of course i would only do this if i'm cooking for close friends.
I'm sure this sounds silly, but I feel like I am cheating if I cook something I have done before. Perhaps the trying of new things is part of what I enjoy so much about having people over --kind of my own mini Iron Chef. Even for Thanksgiving I will only, maybe, cook one thing the same way I have before. It is too boring!!
The only thing I have tried to replicate more than once for guests is the homemade pizza that my husband and I make. We love it, but every time we cook it for someone else it tanks -- and I mean three out of three times. It is like a curse!
re: gridder
I never thought about it as cheating, but you're right. For Passover, I always make my brisket which everyone loves, but then I like to keep them on their toes with lots of new dishes. I generally only repeat things at times when there are a different/new set of guests involved.
And part of the fun of having guests over is going through cookbooks, websites, and of course Chowhound, to see what new and different stuff I can come up with to serve.
I do make new dishes all the time but I stick within my capabilities. The only time I do a practice run is when I need to master a new task or work with a ingredient that I haven't used before or in a long time. I find that really studying a recipe beforehand and tasting and adjusting really helps a lot. The last thought I have on this subject is one I am not sure I can convey very well. In my experience, the more I cook, the more I learn and increase my ability to adapt to surprises ( I've had sauce reduction issues too). Practicing the recipe itself doesn't makes me successful, practicing at cooking as a whole is what makes me successful.

LAFAYETTE, La. (AP) - The crime lab that analyzes DNA, blood, fingerprints and other evidence for Acadiana law enforcement agencies faces an uncertain future if more money cannot be found to shore up the lab's budget.
Acadiana Criminalistics Laboratory Director Kevin Ardoin sounded the alarm at a recent meeting of the commission that oversees the facility. Ardoin says the lab will need a supplement of at least $500,000 a year and possibly upwards of $1 million.
District Attorney Phil Haney, whose office handles prosecutions in Iberia, St. Martin and St. Mary parishes, tells The Advocate the funding crisis comes as the lab has been making steady progress in reducing the backlog and wait time for evidence processing.
He said the need for a local lab that can quickly handle evidence in criminal cases is critical.

LAFAYETTE - George Fant scored eight of his game-high 25 points in a 26-3 run and WKU held off a late rally to earn a 79-70 victory over the Louisiana Ragin' Cajuns in a nationally-televised Sun Belt Conference matchup on Saturday at the Cajundome.
Chris Harrison-Docks added 18 points with Trency Jackson chipping in with 17 as WKU (13-7, 5-2 SBC) erased a 10-point deficit in the first half and built a 16-point lead in the second before pulling away with a 7-0 run after Louisiana (12-8, 3-4 SBC) cut the lead to 61-59 on a jumper by Bryant Mbamalu with 6:05 remaining.
The Cajuns pulled away from a 14-12 lead with a 10-2 run as J.J. Davenport connected on a pair of baskets before Steven Wronkoski and Xavian Rimmer each hit 3-pointers for a 24-14 lead with 10:15 remaining in the first half. Davenport added another bucket for a 31-21 lead at the 4:29 mark before the Cajuns would go cold from the floor, missing 11 of their next shots while WKU would go 9-for-13 from the field.
Fant, who finished 10-for-14 from the floor, began the run for the Hilltoppers with bucket inside with 3:48 remaining before starting a stretch of 21 straight points by WKU with a pair of free throws with 2:28 left in the first half.
Jackson added a pair of free throws and 3-pointer for WKU with Harrison-Docks connecting on a pair of free throws and Aaron Adeoye putting the Hilltoppers ahead for good, 34-32, with a layup with 49 seconds remaining.
After leading 37-32 at halftime, WKU opened the second half with a 17-6 run that was capped by a pair of free throws by Jackson for a 54-38 lead with 14:06 remaining.
But the Cajuns refused to go away as they went on a 21-7 run and ignited a season-high crowd of 4,998.
Rimmer, who scored 10 points, made one of two free throws and Elfrid Payton scored on a driving layup that cut the lead to 54-41 with 13:22 left. After Harrison-Docks sank a 3-pointer for the Hilltoppers, the Cajuns went on a 12-0 run to cut the deficit to 57-53.
Shawn Long, who recorded a double-double with 13 points and 11 rebounds, hit a jumper in the lane before Kevin Brown added a layup and 3-pointer to get the Cajuns to within 57-48. Mbamalu added a 3-pointer for the Cajuns and Brown connected on a pair of free throws to close the gap to 57-53.
A 3-pointer by Mbamalu with 6:51 remaining cut the Hilltopper lead to 61-59, but Fant would respond with five points in a 7-0 run that gave WKU a 68-59 advantage.
Payton led the Ragin' Cajuns with 16 points, six assists, five rebounds and three steals. The junior increased his career total of assists to 400, moving past Johnny Collins (399, 1982-83) into eighth-place on the Cajuns list while his three steals increased his career total to 167, tying him with Aaron Mitchell (167, 1988-91) for third.
Mbamalu added 13 points for the Ragin' Cajuns, which finished 23-for-60 (38.3 percent) from the floor and 19-for-26 (73.1 percent) from the free throw line.
The Cajuns will return to Sun Belt Conference action beginning Thursday at UALR in a 7 p.m. contest before returning home to host ULM in a 7:15 p.m. contest. Tickets are available by calling the Cajundome Box Office at (337) 265-2100 or on-line at www.RaginCajuns.com.

How to paint new plasterwork
Posted by Adrian
April 7th, 2012
Painting new plaster
When you have had either walls or ceilings plastered or skimmed over with plaster you need to know how to paint them correctly to get a long lasting finish.
Firstly ensure they are dry, this will depend on what plastering you have had done. One thing not to do, start painting colour samples on bare plaster, due to the brushes that come with the samples and how thick you apply the sample you will see this on your walls forever unless you rub them down, best to paint on some lining paper or plain white paper, you can then move it around the room and see the colour in different lights. There is a previous post about this Colour samples and testers.
To Paint new plasterwork
Firstly get some sandpaper, not too course, as you don't want to ruin the new plaster, around 120 grit and lightly rub over the plaster to remove any splashed plaster or drips of dirty water. Then brush the area down to remove any loose dust.
Next, you may well think it's simply a case of deciding on a colour and painting over the new plaster? STOP!
You should never paint new plaster with a vinyl emulsion as this will sit on top of the plaster leaving a skin or layer that could peel off. You should always paint new plaster with a 'New Plaster Sealer' or a non-vinyl emulsion.
I use a non-vinyl emulsion and is my preferred method. I use a matt emulsion, typically white to seal the plasterwork before using a vinyl emulsion colour over the top to complete the job. The 'New Plaster Sealer' or a non-vinyl emulsion will soak into the new plasterwork and the finish coats you apply will adhere to this first 'mist' coat.
You don't have to worry about covering the plaster totally, you just need to give it a 'mist' coat (as it's known) to seal the plaster, you're not looking for complete coverage and opacity.
Once you have mist coated your new plaster you can now apply your choice of finish coat and colour.
Paint Calculator
You may find my paint calculator useful to help work out the quantity of paint you require to mist coat your new plaster and also for your final finish coat. One thing to note, new plaster can be absorbent so slightly more paint maybe required than normal to get a good depth of colour and a good finish.

I have a newly plastered ceiling and was advised to pain it with pvu glue (watered down), is this a good tip/idea?

You can used a diluted mix of PVA and water but I always use a non-vinyl white emulsion, that way you are sealing the plaster and covering the plaster colour, ideal for white ceilings

I have had 3 of my 4 Westies on this product for almost a year now. One could hardly move around and now bounces up stairs and races around the room. Both of the others are moving much faster than they used to and have better mobility. We love this product!

Hello, I use this for Camden, my Maine Coon cat. He has Arthritis along his spine (spondylosis) and using DGP keeps him up and able to play and move around like he likes to do. He can even do some short bursts of running. The vet said they could only give him pain management drugs--no no no! DGP gives Camden a good quality of life and is not a drug that could damage his liver or kidneys--yea!

Our geriatric dog, Dakota, was suffering from what the vet referred to as the degeneration that happens with age in dogs... She was pretty old (around 17).... Her problems were in her hips... She'd simply start to list and eventually fall over and would endlessly pace (assumably because she was uncomfortable). I found out about this product while surfing around different K9 and vet message boards. Within a couple of days we saw a marked improvement in her mobility... She actually started running.. (well - more like a sort of wobble hop - but the most active I'd personally seen her in a couple of years). She wasn't terribly interested in chewing the pills so we would grind them up and mix them into her food. (about 3 tablets a day). Eventually the degeneration overtook what the supplement could do and she started getting worse on all fronts and we finally had to send her home. :-( I'm certain this medicine bought us a few extra months with our beloved friend. I'm very grateful we found this project. I would recommend it.

Official: Boy who stowed away on jet leaves Hawaii
HONOLULU (AP) -- An official says the 15-year-old boy who survived a 5½-hour flight from California to Hawaii in a jet's wheel well has left the state.
Hawaii Department of Human Services spokeswoman Kayla Rosenfeld said late Friday night that the youth is "no longer in Hawaii."
Her brief emailed statement did not specify how or when Yahya Abdi left, who he traveled with or where he went.
The boy's father arrived in Hawaii this week from the family's home in Santa Clara, California, to bring him back.
Rosenfeld had said previously that the teen was in a Honolulu hospital after being transferred to state custody from the Maui airport, where he was questioned by FBI and airport officials following the April 20 flight.
Yahya Abdi withstood the flight inside the Boeing 767's wheel well at 35,000 feet despite freezing cold and a lack of oxygen.
NEW: Egyptian court jails 102 Islamists for 10 years
An Egyptian criminal court has sentenced 102 defendants it describes as Muslim Brotherhood supporters to 10 years in prison each on charges of violent rioting in a Cairo neighborhood and possession of weapons.
Egypt's state news agency said the Saturday ruling puts the defendants under police surveillance for a period of five years after the end of their prison sentences. Two other defendants were jailed for seven years in the case.
The ruling is linked to demonstrations staged to protest the overthrow of Islamist President Mohammed Morsi by the military in July. Morsi's ouster followed days of mass demonstrations demanding his resignation.
The prosecutors charged the defendants with gathering illegally with intent to inflict material and moral harm to others and public property, which led to one death.
NEW: Syria activists: car bomb death toll rises to 23
BEIRUT (AP) -- Syrian activists say that the death toll from two car bombs that struck two small villages in the central province of Hama has risen to 23 people, including 14 children.
Rami Abdurrahman of the Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said Saturday that the figure was likely to rise further. The rigged vehicles exploded Friday in the villages of Jadreen and Humayri, which are about a 20-minute drive, or 19 kilometers (11 miles) apart. It wasn't immediately clear if the two attacks were coordinated.
The bombings were also reported by state-run Syrian television on Friday.
Car bombs have been increasingly used by rebels fighting to overthrow the rule of President Bashar Assad, adding another grim dimension to a war that has already killed over 150,000 people.
NEW: 2 Kenyan police arrested transporting ivory
NAIROBI, Kenya (AP) -- Kenyan wildlife authorities say two police officers have been arrested transporting illegal elephant ivory as the government cracks down on poaching of the country's endangered elephants and rhinos.
Kenya Wildlife Service said Saturday the officers were caught with six pieces of ivory at a road block while travelling from the central Kenyan town of Meru to the capital Friday night.
Last month Kenya's central government said it will oversee the running of the country's wildlife authority for the next three months in a bid to stop poaching of the country's elephants and rhinos.
Poachers have killed 18 rhinos and 51 elephants so far this year. Last year 302 elephants were killed in Kenya, down from 384 in 2012, out of an estimated population of 35,000.
Obama promotes his record in 'Year of Action'
WASHINGTON (AP) -- President Barack Obama is promoting the work he's done in what he's calling his "Year of Action."
In his weekly radio and online address Saturday, the president says he's taken more than 20 executive actions to help the economy. The White House paired the address with a 28-page progress report detailing each action.
With midterm elections six months away, Obama is criticizing congressional Republicans for blocking a minimum wage increase and other parts of his economic agenda. House Speaker John Boehner's office responds that if Obama really wants to create jobs, he'd approve the Keystone XL pipeline to bring oil from Canada to Gulf Coast refineries.
In the Republican address, Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida says Obama should be imposing tougher sanctions on Russia over unrest in Ukraine.
OSCE observers held in Ukraine being released
SLOVYANSK, Ukraine (AP) -- The leader of pro-Russia insurgents in the eastern Ukrainian city of Slovyansk (SLAHV'-yansk) says the military observers from the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe who were held for more than a week have been released.

Snowden, Assange top bill at Texas tech gatheringMarch 7, 2014 @ 12:12 pm (Updated: 12:20 pm - 3/7/14 )
AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — To get a feel for the pulse of the tech industry, it's a good idea to head to Austin, Texas, rather than Silicon Valley this time of the year.
More than 30,000 people descend on the Texas city for the South By Southwest Interactive Festival each March. This year, NSA leaker Edward Snowden and WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange (ah-SAHNJ') are topping the bill.
Snowden and Assange won't be making the trip to Texas, however. They'll appear on live video, since both are living as fugitives, in Moscow and the Ecuadorian embassy in London, respectively. Their inclusion illustrates how the festival is trying to balance holding on to its independent roots even as it's flooded by a barrage of corporate sponsors and threatens to grow too big for its hometown.
