Mark Webber not worried about young Red Bull pretenders as he focusses on his own performance
|By Jonathan Noble
|Monday, February 27th 2012, 11:54 GMT
Mark Webber says he will waste no time worrying about rival drivers gunning for his Red Bull Racing seat for next year.
With the Australian's contract up for renewal again at the end of this season, Webber knows he must deliver results if his bosses are not going to consider slotting in youngsters like Daniel Ricciardo or Jean-Eric Vergne.
But rather than feel that the situation is a cause for concern, Webber is well aware of what is expected - and knows the best thing for his future is focusing on his own performances rather than what other drivers are doing.
"The most important thing for Mark Webber is that I perform," he said in an interview with the official Formula 1 website. "The rest I can't control, so I'll just look after myself.
"When you are in front in Formula 1 you are always under intense scrutiny. Every corner is analysed. If teams don't like a driver's style or discipline it does not matter who is waiting in the wings - you are out anyway.
"Teams will always look at what's best for them as drivers are a huge part of the team. I respect that and will focus on 2012 in this fashion."
When asked if that meant his sights were set on a full-scale championship assault this year, after a disappointing 2011 campaign, Webber responded: "Absolutely!
"I had a pretty strong finish last season but unfortunately it was not the best of starts. So for 2012 I want to have a good start, keep it together in the middle part and have a good finish. And then let's count up the points!"

Executive Sponsors share messages of support in the August 2014 UW@Work newsletter.
April 4, 2014
As part of the University of Washington's vision to be "Tomorrow's University Today," we have made the decision to move forward with HR/Payroll Modernization – an exciting and much-needed project. Why? Because we can't be tomorrow's leaders if we're using yesterday's technology and work practices. HR/Payroll Modernization is an investment in our technology and, more importantly, in our people. Our University is world-class in research, teaching, and scholarship. This modernization effort will complete the circle and give our employees the tools and best practices they need to operate at that world-class level.
This spring, after a couple of years of planning and preparatory work, we have reached an important milestone – the start of implementation of our new HR and payroll system. We will have a new system and new ways of handling work in the HR and payroll areas. With the quick implementation timeline, this project requires agility, determination, and cooperation. We must work hard to change "the way we've always done it" and pave the way for how such efforts will be done in the future. The benefits to be realized are substantial. We will be able to standardize our processes, eliminate a high error rate in our HR and payroll functions, become more sustainable by reducing paper use, and gain the ability to focus on strategic planning instead of administrative intervention.
I share with you the words of Henry Ford, "Coming together is a beginning. Keeping together is progress. Working together is success." We look forward to this success and many more.
V'Ella Warren
Senior Vice President
December 4, 2013
Provost Ana Mari Cauce sheds additional insight on the project:
August 29, 2013
In the last several years, we have focused extensively on positioning the University of Washington as the model for public higher education. Working cooperatively across the University, we created a vision in which the University of Washington is more competitive, collaborative, and nimble, incorporating technology that effectively enables that vision.
We must lead change in higher education not only through our teaching and learning, but also administratively. HR/Payroll Modernization is a significant initiative supporting this latter objective and helping make our vision a reality. An updated technology platform will support modern practices for Human Resources and Payroll, creating efficiencies within those systems, providing comprehensive data for strategic planning, increasing compliance management, and facilitating accountability at every level of the University. These efficiencies will enable better recordkeeping, ensuring that employees can be confident in the reliability and accuracy of individual benefits accrual and the payroll process.
I'm extremely excited about the many benefits we'll realize from this important effort and wholeheartedly support the investment of time, expertise, and resources. This collaborative initiative is just another example of how the University of Washington is Tomorrow's University Today.
Michael K. Young
President, University of Washington
May 16, 2013
Dear Colleagues,
Constant change seems to have become our new normal. It can be both exciting and create disruption. It can also inspire action. We do know that to move forward, change is a necessity. As we wrap up the academic year, I want to bring you up to date about a change that is on the horizon – one that will help us work smarter to remain a strong and competitive University.
As I've mentioned in earlier communications, HR/Payroll Modernization is a major initiative to replace our existing payroll system and implement a modern human resources and payroll system. The impacts and benefits from this modernization will touch every member of our workforce.
I am writing to update you on three key accomplishments this year: the system procurement, the redesign work on key HR and payroll processes, and the benchmarking effort.
More than 30 years ago, we implemented the Higher Education Payroll Personnel System (HEPPS), which was a technologically advanced payroll system at that time. In the intervening years, we've added two campuses, seen our research enterprise grow tremendously, watched the demand for our medical services skyrocket, and as a result, have doubled our workforce.
While the technology around us has changed dramatically from year to year, our payroll technology has remained the same and without companion human resource functionality. As a result, the existing payroll system has significant operational inefficiencies and service deficits, and it is increasingly difficult to keep pace with ever-changing regulatory requirements. This, along with the absence of an enterprise-wide HR system, has resulted in significant gaps that are being plugged by hundreds of specialized unit and departmental systems around the University, requiring daily heroics and more work for over-burdened and scarce resources – our people.
Expected Outcome
The HR/Payroll Modernization effort will transform the infrastructure supporting our workforce. It will significantly improve critical HR and payroll functions for the entire University (including recruiting, payroll, time and leave management, compensation and benefits management), strengthen regulatory compliance, deliver better information for decision making, and produce substantial efficiencies and productivity gains throughout UW units. As a result, it directly aligns with our Two Years to Two Decades Initiative to operate more effectively and efficiently while providing improved services.
University Involvement
While this is a multi-year project, we've taken significant strides in FY2013 to advance this very complex effort. A staged procurement process has been underway since September to help us identify the technology solution that will best meet our needs. I appreciate the work of the 75 subject matter experts and technical and functional advisors who have been involved in this strenuous and detailed system selection process. As the academic year draws to a close, we are about half way through the process.
This summer, two vendors will provide open demonstrations of their solutions on the Seattle campus, which will help us better envision our future state. A recommendation for a final vendor will be submitted to the Board of Regents in October and, if approved, routed to the State of Washington Office of the Chief Information Officer for approval shortly thereafter.
At the same time we've been advancing work to select a technology solution, some 300 representatives from the University's three campuses have worked tirelessly over several months to redesign key HR and payroll processes, using best practices as the starting point. This effort will conclude next month, and will help inform the selection and subsequent configuration of the new system.
And finally, just this week we wrapped up an extensive data collection effort that will help us create a baseline of UW's current costs for supporting HR and payroll functions. Sample data was culled from 50 units that are representative of our diverse community. The data will now be validated, and then used to provide a benchmark against relevant peers and help support the need for change. This data will be an essential part of our business case to the Board of Regents for moving forward with this project.
You will receive more information about the HR/Payroll Modernization over the next several months to help you understand the proposed changes, opportunities for involvement, and any impact you may experience.
Remember that change is necessary to progress. It may be hard and painful at times, but we're in this together. And together we'll create a stronger and more competitive UW of the 21st century.
Ana Mari Cauce
Provost and Executive Vice President

Cybersecurity may not rank up there with abortion and taxes as a hot-button election issue, but the Republicans' 2012 party platform does spell out a clear GOP position on the topic. And not surprisingly, it takes issue with the Obama administration's approach.
The current framework "is overly reliant on the development of defensive capabilities and has been unsuccessful in dissuading cyber-related aggression," the document, which was approved by GOP delegates on Aug. 28, states. It dismisses current efforts as a "costly and heavy-handed regulatory approach" that undermines "what should be a collaborative relationship and [puts] both the government and private entities at a severe disadvantage in proactively identifying potential cyberthreats."
The platform promises that a Republican cybersecurity strategy would stress public-private information-sharing, and free private companies "from legal and regulatory barriers that prevent or deter them from voluntarily sharing cyberthreat information with their government partners." Similar recommendations were made in a July report from the Bipartisan Policy Center, and in legislation introduced in March by GOP Sens. Kay Bailey Hutchison (Texas) and John McCain (Ariz.).
The Republican platform also declares that an effective strategy should recognize "the importance of offensive capabilities" -- something that the Obama administration has not explicitly stated, though both the Stuxnet virus and Marine Lt. Gen. Richard P. Mills' recent comments about using "cyber operations against my adversary" in Afghanistan suggest cyber-offensives are already part of the mix.

It's been a frugal sort of day!
Out on my morning walk this morning, I filled six envelopes with seeds from a dwarf rudbeckia, nicotiana, 3 kinds of cosmos, and a lovely variety of castor bean.
Cutting thru the park on the way home I passed the recycling dumpsters. And there was a stack of maybe 20-25 2- and 5-gallon black plastic pots, and an enormous black plastic half barrel. I came back with the car and picked them all up except the barrel, and I may go back for that if it's still there.
Picked up several crazy daisies and penstemons in gallon pots at Lowes for $1 each. Then scored some primroses, a corkscrew rush, and several annuals loaded with seeds 4/$1 and my neighborhood place.
Then -- find of finds! -- walking back from the grocery store I found 4 10' lengths of 1/2" copper pipes stacked with construction debris behind someone's carriage house. I almost felt bad about that one, since I can't imagine anyone would throw out copper pipe, but there they were. And now they're mine.
And will make such a fabulous trellis for my front yard!!
And best of all, all this finding and planning prevented me from doing the laundry, the vacuuming or any of the mundane indoor tasks I hate!
I'm drooling over your copper pipes:0)
Isn't taking a walk great! I went for my daily walk 2 days ago and came home with 3 of the TALL tomato cages. Neighbor did put out on top of her cans hoping for someone like me to walk by LOL. And got a bunny/Easter yard stake that was missing a carrot or two.
Yesterday, I grabbed two kinds of sage seeds from Downtown Los Angeles. And I was able to get 3 kinds of morning glory seeds from the plants growing at the local community garden.
What do you guys do with copper pipes, just curious..
I've had a wonderfully frugal day, myself! At the local Fred Meyer plant clearance, I got: 1 Bugle-weed perennial, 1 Denver Blue Sedge grass, 3 "fiber-optic" grass (Scirpus Cenuus), 2 red heuchera all for $1 each...and 1 gallon-pot Orange Sedge for $2, for a grand total of $9.
Yesterday was good too, at the local Home & Garden Show!
All the plants were SO AMAZING, and I don't know the names of half of them. The only thing stopping me from buying everything in sight is that I'm frugal by nature. (pun not intended).
Isn't it nice when you've been gardening long enough that you can scoop up those bargains because you're always planning for next year? I've lived in apartments for the last 20 years, and it took a long time for me to start assuming I'd be in the same place next growing season.
And now since I've had so much success with winter sowing, I'm even looking at scooping up annuals and keeping them alive for another month or so just to harvest the seeds!
Undercover_owl, I'm using the copper pipe to make trellises. I've made a few for friends, using plumbing pipe, a cheap pipe cutter, and T's and elbow attachments. I've also used the flexible 1/4" piping to make curls and fancy shapes to solder in the spaces between the bars.
I've long been thinking about making a fancy arch over the central staircase to my apartment building, from porch to porch. I'd still have to buy another 2 10' lengths (at about $8 each), but this gives me plenty to work on this winter!
I got a whole lots of plants at the recycling center! Some idiots thought pots were compost material so some came with the original pots. Tuberous begonia, Dusty Miller, New Guinea Impatiens, lots of regular impatiens, red geranium, some spiky and some trailing plants, quite a haul.
The really odd thing is that Dusty Miller is perennial in my area so why would someone throw out 2 pots of it?!? Lucky me.

Geometric Nails Trend 2013
Trend Alert: Geometric Nail Art
Like us on Facebook
Nail art is a regular occurrence on the red carpet, but we've been seeing stars sporting a variety of geometric nails as of late. Demi Lovato showed off a black manicure accented with three metallic stripes over the weekend, while Kerry Washington paired her black polish with a white chevron tip to complement her dress at the recent Peeples premiere. January Jones also got into the graphic trend, sporting a classic red polish topped with a black triangle accent at the base of her nails for an edgier take on the moon manicure. We even saw geometric nails on the Fall 2013 runways, so clearly this trend is here to stay.

Advice on American Standard or Bryant central air please (3k ton)
I'm looking at getting either a 3,000-ton (36BTU) Bryant central air unit (compressor/heatpump/programmable thermostat - $3.8k) or just a (same size) American Standard compressor outside ($2k) that would replace a more-than-20-year-old American Standard unit of the same size. This is for a second-home in Florida, and I'd be using a very reputable and known A/C guy.
These prices would not be for extremely high-efficiency units, but basically what they recommend will do the job well economically.
Any thoughts on whether just going with the replacement compressor outside will probably be fine (given that it's the same make; the issue is that the old compressor finally gave out)? Any other recommendations?
I see that Bryant has the Evolution, Preferred and legacy line ... and for this purchase I'm primarily interested in how well it all works (the old one was fine for years) and say initial and first-year costs. It looks like there are a lot of Bryant programmable thermostat options also (though don't know if what they are hoping to put in will also have a wide choice ... not interested in lots of zone tweaking etc.).
Still waiting on model numbers from them, this is just what I know so far.

Aldermore Mortgages managing director Charles Haresnape (pictured) said: "By partnering with Mortgage Brain and adopting its technology solutions our retail mortgage advisers can, under the new MMR rules, discuss the mortgage needs of customers choosing to come direct to us with the support of market-leading technology and compliance solutions."
The system is a lender version of the Key, a compliance reporting module and point-of-sale solution for mortgage brokers.

Final Fantasy XIII-2
This is actually real?
You have got to be kidding me. I enjoyed Final Fantasy X-2 as much as the next person, but this is just ridiculous...Final Fantasy XIII-2?!? Why not focus on making an actual Final Fantasy that rocks...make XV awesome.
Make it something like the Last Remnant was...fun and engaging! Unlike Final Fantasy XIII, I actually cared what happened to Rush and company. THAT's my Final Fantasy XIII right there! I'm fine waiting for XV.:P
Freya Crescent is awesome...you cannot deny that, EVER.
Funny how it was the exact opposite for me. TLR bored me to tears, while I loved every minute of XIII.
What was the saying...oh yeah, that's right "Different strokes for different folks."
Now Playing - Black Ops, Mass Effect 2 DLC (360) /// Waiting For - Other things...
Exact opposite experience of the above.
I enjoyed every bit of The Last Remnant.
And enjoyed pretty much everything in Final Fantasy XIII.
I never had any desire for FFXIII to be like Last Remnant at all either. About the only thing MISSING was the side quests in towns, and I'd of course want those back as well as the fully interactive towns & special areas where you can find new weapons. Last Remnant was a very good game but definitely nothing like FF, aside from the fact it had town related quests.

The Non Linear Behavior of the Microplane Model in COMSOL
A. Frigerio[1]
[1]RSE, Milano, Italy
The safety of large civil structures is often evaluated by means of numerical models based on the Finite Element Method (FEM). In the last year, the elastic behavior of the Microplane Model was implemented in COMSOL because it is a promising approach able to overcome the limit typical of the classical approaches, which in general are able to simulate in a proper way only a few specific ...

[3]Posiva, Eurajoki, Finland
In this work, we present a number of scoping calculations that have been carried out to design an in-situ redox experiment (Figure 1) focused on assessing potential changes in the pH and redox conditions and in the buffering capacity of the Olkiluoto bedrock (i.e. the site for the Finnish spent fuel repository). A characteristic of these models lies in the need to integrate prior information, ...

The aim of the poster is to present a coupled 2D mathematical model to predict the evolution of drug concentration - in the cornea and in the anterior chamber of the eye - when therapeutic lenses are used (Figure 1). The mathematical model takes into account (i) diffusion processes in several compartments of the eye (therapeutic lens, cornea and anterior chamber); (ii) metabolic consuming ...
High Frequency Electromagnetic Device Modeling with COMSOL: Simulation vs. Experiment
P. Alotto[1], F. Dughiero[1], F. Bressan[1], M. Bullo[1]
[1]Università di Padova, Dipartimento di Ingegneria Industriale, Padova, Italy
Computer simulation is mandatory for the optimization of electromagnetic devices. Here we concentrate on two classes of devices operating in the MHz and GHz range, namely microwave ovens and TEM cells for electromagnetic compatibility testing. In particular we concentrate on the issue that numerical results are usually different from the experimental ones and this can be due, among others ...
Reactive Transport Processes in Compacted Bentonite

[1]Amphos 21, Barcelona, Spain
The Swedish Organization for Radioactive Waste (SKB) is considering disposal High Level Wastes in a deep underground repository. Bentonite clay is planned to be used in the near-field of the waste packages as buffer material. The buffer is expected to provide a favorable environment with limited radionuclide migration due to slow diffusion and retardation by sorption and cation-exchange effects. ...
Modeling Pit Lake Flooding After Mine Closure
S. Jordana[1], A. Nardi[1]
[1]Amphos 21, Barcelona, Spain
Most of mining works, either on the surface or in the underground, demand continuous groundwater pumping in order to operate under dry conditions. When the mining activity stops, dewatering also stops and mining facilities begin to flood, quite quickly at the beginning but becoming slower as the water level in the pit lake rises. The rise of the surface of the lake decelerates due to the bigger ...

Powder detergents containing sodium percarbonate and bleach activators undergo chemical decomposition when exposed to high relative humidity. Controlling the moisture intake in finished product packs is therefore a fundamental need in order to guarantee product stability during the whole supply chain. In this paper we show how we have leveraged COMSOL Multiphysics capability in order to model the ...

Easter blessings from UCAN
Dear Reader,
There is no more important week in the year for Christians than this Holy Week. We call it Holy because of the mystery we celebrate - God's gift of His son who loves us to his death on Calvary and beyond.
Because of that love, we wish each other Happy Easter even when we know there is a lot of tragedy about it - Good Friday. As Christians, we know that what we see happening with and in Jesus goes to the heart of what we know from our own experience of life.
At the Second Vatican Council, the Christian lives we all lead were described as being shares in the Paschal Mystery. We have our share in the death and resurrection of Jesus every day. Our lives are part of the Paschal Mystery.
At UCAN, we work to describe that mystery in the unfolding tragedies and astonishing blessings of the people we seek out and report, feature and comment on.
While at times deeply distressing work, this effort of ours gets its coherence in the same way the death of Jesus did - because of the astonishing grace of a God who never gives up on life and love.
Because of that, we can wish you Happy Easter.
Best Wishes,
Fr. Michael Kelly SJ
Executive Director
Protesters rally for political prisoners
Government denies claims that 900 are in custodyProtesters at the rally make their feelings known
- Sri Lanka
- September 13, 2012
Activists say there are at least 900 political detainees still in custody following the decades-long civil war that ended in 2009, although the government denies there are any.
"We need to pressure the government," said Selvam Adaikalanathan, a parliamentarian from the Tamil National Alliance. The support of the international community is needed, too, he said.
Protester Sinthani Chelvam said he has been searching for his son for three years.
"During the last phase of the war the army arrested my son who was wounded during the conflict but after that we didn't see him," he said.
"We appeal to the authorities to release them if they are not guilty or charge them in a court of law. Some political prisoners have been brutally attacked and some have died."
The Minister of Irrigation and Water Resources Management, Nimal Siripala de Silva, told parliament recently that there were no political prisoners in Sri Lanka.
However, he admitted there are 359 former Tamil Tiger "criminal" suspects still being detained, 309 with cases pending against them.
Three new high courts will be established to prosecute those cases, officials have said.
Tamils make up 18 percent of the nation's 20 million people. During the 25-year civil war, insurgents fought to create a separate Tamil state in the northern part of the island nation. They were finally defeated in May 2009.

Family Film 'Paddington' Moves to Christmas
In an aggressive play, The Weinstein Co. and Dimension Films will open British film Paddington on Christmas Day instead of its original date, Dec. 12.
The CGI/live-action film is based on Michael Bond's beloved children's book about the misadventures of a Peruvian bear who travels to the city in search of a home. But life isn't all he imagined it would be until he meets the kindly Brown family, who take him in after reading the label on his neck: "Please look after this bear." Trouble starts brewing again, though, when he's spotted by a museum taxidermist.
PHOTOS: The Scene at Cannes 2014
Colin Firth voices the character Paddington in the film, which is from Harry Potter producer David Heyman.
Paul King directed Paddington from his adapted script. Nicole Kidman, Hugh Bonneville, Sally Hawkins, Julie Walters, Jim Broadbent and Peter Capaldi also star in the upcoming movie about the bear who loves marmalade sandwiches.
STORY: 'Paddington' Movie Set for Christmas 2014 Release
Paddington faces a crowded market for family fare, and opens less than a week after Sony's Annie and Fox's Night at the Museum: Secret of the Tomb roll out Dec. 19. And it debuts directly opposite Disney's Christmas Day entry Into the Woods, the big-screen adaptation of Stephen Sondheim's stage musical with a star-studded cast that includes Meryl Streep.
In other news, TWC announced it is pushing Juan Campanella's animated film Underdogs from Aug. 27 to Jan. 16, 2015, and has set a nationwide release date of March 6 for The Coup, starring Owen Wilson, Pierce Brosnan and Lake Bell. Harvey Weinstein's outfit bought rights to the international thriller last month at the Cannes Film Festival.

Karen Grigsby Bates
Karen Grigsby Bates is the Los Angeles-based correspondent for NPR News. Bates contributed commentaries to All Things Considered for about 10 years before she joined NPR in 2002 as the first correspondent and alternate host for The Tavis Smiley Show. In addition to general reporting and substitute hosting, she increased the show's coverage of international issues and its cultural coverage, especially in the field of literature and the arts.
In early 2003, Bates joined NPR's former midday news program Day to Day. She has reported on politics (California's precedent-making gubernatorial recall, Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger's re-election campaign and the high-profile mayoral campaign of Los Angeles' Antonio Villaraigosa), media, and breaking news (the Abu Ghrarib scandal, the 2004 tsunami in Southeast Asia and the execution of Stanley "Tookie" Williams).
Bates' passion for food and things culinary has served her well: she's spent time with award-winning food critic Alan Richman and chef-entrepreneur Emeril Lagasse.
One of Bates' proudest contributions is making books and authors a high-profile part of NPR's coverage. "NPR listeners read a lot, and many of them share the same passion for books that I do, so this isn't work, it's a pleasure." She's had conversations with such writers as Walter Mosley, Joan Didion and Kazuo Ishiguru. Her bi-annual book lists (which are archived on the web) are listener favorites.
Before coming to NPR, Bates was a news reporter for People magazine. She was a contributing columnist to the Op Ed pages of the Los Angeles Times for ten years. Her work has appeared in Time, The New York Times, the Washington Post, Essence and Vogue. And she's been a guest on several news shows such as ABC's Nightline and the CBS Evening News.
In her non-NPR life, Bates is the author of Plain Brown Wrapper and Chosen People, mysteries featuring reporter-sleuth Alex Powell. She is co-author, with Karen E. Hudson, of Basic Black: Home Training for Modern Times, a best-selling etiquette book now in its second edition. Her work also appears in several writers' anthologies.
Bates holds a Bachelor of Arts degree from Wellesley College. Additionally she studied at the University of Ghana and completed the executive management program at Yale University's School of Organization and Management.

Chris and Liz were great hosts. They responded to my message quickly when I needed a place to stay urgently and showed me around the city centre. They had all the facilities I needed during my stay. The room was clean and great, shower was hot and the area was safe. They were easy to contact if I needed something.
We were lucky to have the place to ourselves. Room was big and clean and tidy. Liz was helpful with local information. Our expectations were high but we enjoyed the experience!
Chris was great and very helpful giving directions to the house. The room was clean. Christ went out of his way to show us a great place to eat and even loaned us his GSP for the day in Derry.
Had a good time in Liz & Chris place ! Liz arranged to be available according to our arrival time and gave us the keys after a couple of advices of where to go (and to not go !) in Derry. Thanks again !
The host made us feel very welcome. Liz was great, very friendly and provided us with good tips on what to do and where to go in the city. The house was lovely and in a quiet neighborhood.
Liz was lovely and welcoming when we arrived, showing us around. The room itself was perfect and comfortable, very clean, as was the living room. The wifi was quite weak and the kitchen was very basic but overall we enjoyed our stay.
It was alright for us to stay at Chris' house. But it's a little bit far out and nobody was there. Only us. But Chris had all organized well.

Choose a one-step, vinyl spray paint product and color.
How to Change the Color of Vinyl Fabric
Changing the color of vinyl fabrics can occur before the textile is upholstered or can happen on an already upholstered piece. The process is simple but requires the right paint and preparation in order to create a solid bond between the fabric and the paint. Vinyl is notorious for chipping and peeling when paint is incorrectly applied. Paint manufacturers have taken note of the problems vinyl and plastic surfaces present and have developed paints designed as one-coat applications without the need for a primer.
Things You'll Need
- Ventilated work area
- Safety glasses and mask
- Spray paint designed for vinyl
- Painter's tape and drop cloth
- Acetone cleaning product
- Double stick tape
Set up a well ventilated work area. Use drop cloths and painter's tape to protect the work surfaces and surrounding area from over-spray.
Use an acetone product to remove all grime, wax, grease and dirt from the vinyl fabric.
Mask off areas of existing upholstery and exposed frame that do not need paint. Use a good quality painter's tape to complete the masking. Loose fabric should be adhered temporarily to a flat, hard surface using double stick tape.
Apply the spray paint per the manufacturer's instructions. Several light coats give better results than a single thick coat of paint. Use even, side-to-side strokes and start and end each stroke past the edge of the upholstered furniture or loose fabric.
- 1
Tips & Warnings
- Vinyl fabric cleaning products (for cleaning before paint application) are available from paint manufacturers.
- Humid weather can ruin a painting project. Work in humidity levels that are 60 percent or less for best results.
- Test a piece of scrap vinyl for a full understanding of the process before the final painting process is approached.

FCW published an article Sept. 6 in which sources questioned the integrity and trustworthiness of the National Institute of Standards and Technology following the release of top-secret documents showing the National Security Agency weakened a set of encryption standards adopted for worldwide use in 2006.
Readers expressed concern at the news, questioning whether the NSA's intervention was a one-time event or a frequent occurrence.
So if our computer security standards are open to, let's call it "tweaking", I wonder what other standards that NIST regulates are "tweaked?" remarked one reader.
Another said, So much for NIST's credibility. I noticed they ignored the good stuff brought to them, now we know why.
A reader identifying himself as William Frazier questioned why government agencies even bother to compare each other's security protocols when they're all apparently operating with subverted encryption standards promulgated by NIST and used in IT solutions mass-produced by vendors.
Another reader wondered how far down the rabbit hole NSA-tweaking extends beyond encryption standards.
Frank Konkel responds: NIST responded to the criticism on Sept. 10, reopening the standards for public scrutiny and stating "NIST would not deliberately weaken" standards it approves for adoption.
However, the key word here is "deliberately," and I agree with readers who believe NIST's credibility is now open to question. When a top-secret NSA document – leaked by former NSA contractor Edward Snowden – states directly that the NSA "became the sole editor" of the weakened encryption standards in question, what does that say about NIST?
Nobody has come out and claimed responsibility for the apparent weakness in standards, and it's unlikely anybody will. What is more likely is that the cryptographic community will work hard to expose the vulnerabilities– if any – and work to correct them in a widespread, yet sensitive endeavor. If vulnerabilities exist, patches will be made. But as several cryptographers have noted, the time between when a vulnerability is found and a patch is implemented is key.
Regardless, the revelations uproot the image of NIST as a "just the facts, ma'am" agency based on scientific principles, which is sad for federal agencies and worldwide commercial organizations that adhere their security standards to NIST recommendations. What role did NIST play in adopting the weakened standards?
The agency says none at all, and that raises questions in itself. How many other standards were adopted in the same fashion? Was NIST handcuffed by the NSA from discussing any kind of potential sabotage? How often does the NSA take the lead on standards for unclassified systems?
NIST regularly exposes its standards to public scrutiny in an effort to be a transparent organization, but if anyone at the agency knew the NSA deliberately or even inadvertently messed with standards, they sure didn't make a public fuss about it.
While the whole issue got lost in the NSA leaks story, the NSA's efforts to defeat encryption by any means necessary is one of the biggest stories to come from Snowden's flash drives. Perhaps there is more to come on that front, and if it involves more collaboration between NIST and the NSA, it may be more bad news for feds.

While it is easy to speculate or fantasize about NIST collaborating with NSA, the point that is being missed is that NIST's statement is actually a bit of a middle finger to the NSA. When one agency is accused of weakening a standard and another says there is no way they'd ever do anything to support that, it suggests that there is a pretty big schism here and a real violation of the boundaries that the two have generally had in place. That may be the bigger story here.

I have heard of people making jaom with bakers yeast and it turning out fine. However if I use a wine yeast like corte de blanc, montrachet, or another; will I still have good results?
Yes. See this thread: http://www.homebrewtalk.com/f80/malk...ge-mead-50201/

Yea I will chime in with FB and Peppers. Joam is great the way it is. Don't change the yeast unless you try a whole new recipe. Joam gets darn tasty after about 6 months and I have no complaints with it's process.
A painting says a thousand words. But a painting while on good mead just looks funny!

Jada Pinkett Smith returned home after a family vacay in Hawaii in a hooded poncho, blue platform sandals, and $1,300 Roberto Cavalli Snake Print Pants:
The silk trousers, now on sale for $455, have a blue/gray/multicolor snake-print:
Jada looks like she is NO mood to have cameras in her face! Still, how chic is this for an airport look?
If you like, recreate her outfit with these pieces:
I like the pants, but Jada needs to go down a size or get them tailored.
Willow is sprouting up I remember my akward boney tween days smh I was 80lbs and then the summer before highschool I blew up to 150! Both ladies young and old look cute.
The pants are ill fitting on her but I would rock them!
I am not a big fan. That style for pants is just not the right look.
The pants look better on the model
I love Jada's hair and the outfit is ok. Thought I would hate it upon first glance. I know Jada has a small frame and all, but Willow needs to eat. That's lack of food and not body type.
So….this kid really doesn't go to school?
She looks comfy !
I don't think it's lack of food; a lot of my friends were that thin at her age and they ate like hogs. Besides, look at her tiny mother- weight gain likely won't be easy with her genes. Lucky her.
So. Is that Willow's friend or her frieeeeeeend? lol
Lmao @ Mikele…I was wondering the same thing.
Lol @ Mikele, the shaade!
The pants are cute, the shoes are a must have! Love them! ADORN.
lol@Mikele I think that is her brother's girlfriend!
Jada is smashing it. So cool!
Willow is like a walking stick
Different shoes please…Thanks!
