Rumor has it that next month Adobe Illustrator will turn 25 years old. To celebrate, Deke offers a free technique this week that uses Illustrator to make its own graphic celebratory explosion. You'll start with some ordinary text, set in an ordinary font, and then you will attach eye-catching stroke effects around it, using a variety of commands from Illustrator's Effect menu (including a bit of Transform goodness, some offset paths, and the delightfully named Pucker and Bloat commands). After that, Deke shows you how to fill the text and create a series of strokes to form an outline.
Eventually, you can save the whole slew of effects (accumulated in the Appearance panel) as a graphic style to be reused in the second phase of the technique.
To make the "explosion" part of the graphic, you'll start with a single line segment emanating from the center of the drawing. Next, Deke shows you a super secret way to create a random cacophony of duplicate lines. (OK, it's all about holding down the tilde key [~], but it's quick and cool.) Now, you can apply the graphic style you've created from the text, turn off some of the options in the Appearance panel, change the fill color, and speedily create a complementary (and no less explosive) effect for the burst of lines. The results explosively speak for themselves. Meanwhile the text is editable, so you can update your center message at will (or depending on the age of your subject). Happy graphic explosion birthday, Illustrator! You've earned it.
Deke will be back next week with another free technique (and a couple of exclusive variations exclusively for lynda.com members).

Crème Brûlé
Recipe courtesy of Chris Hanmer
Amount | Measure | Ingredient
4 Cups Heavy Cream
1 Vanilla bean
1 Pinch Salt
8 Egg yolks
3/4 Cup Sugar
2 Tablespoons Sugar
8 Tablespoons Brown sugar
Preparation Method
Preheat the oven to 300F. In a heavy medium saucepan, combine the cream, vanilla bean and salt. Warm over moderate heat until the surface begins to shimmer, about 5 minutes. In a large bowl, stir the egg yolks and sugar until blended. Pour in the hot cream and stir gently to avoid forming air bubbles. Strain the custard into a large measuring glass and skim off and surface air bubbles. (Rinse the vanilla bean and reserve for future use.) Place 8 3/4-cup ramekins in a roasting pan. Pour the custard into the ramekins, filling them up to the rim. Place the roasting pan in the oven and pour in enough warm water to reach halfway up the sides of the ramekins. Cover loosely with foil and bake for 1 1/4 hours, or until the custard is firm around the edges. (It may still be wobbly in the center but it will firm up as it chills.) Remove the ramekins from the water bath and let cool.
Cover and refrigerate until cold, at least 3 hours. (The custards can be prepared to this point up to 2 days ahead. If small pools of liquid develop on the surfaces, blot with a paper towel before proceeding.) Preheat the broiler or a salamander. Set the ramekins on a baking sheet. Sieve 1 tablespoon of brown sugar over the top of each custard in a thin layer. Using a spatula or knife, spread the sugar evenly. Broil the custards as close to the heat as possible until the sugar is caramelized, 30 seconds to 2 minutes; watch carefully. Let cool and serve immediately or refrigerate for up to 4 hours.

The Grant County News' Web site has gotten a much needed, much improved facelift and we hope you'll like its new look and additional features.
The new Web site format is not only visually more appealing, but also the news content and information are easier to find. We've also made it much easier to submit photos and news items, including engagement, wedding, birth and anniversary announcements, community events, letters to the editor, news tips and sports news.
Around October, I start mixing my recipe for the holidays.
I begin with Christmas music, and if I don't have a good portion of Bing Crosby, mixed with Rosemary Clooney and dashes of Frank Sinatra, Burl Ives and Johnny Mathis, I become Grinch-afied. A smidge of the Davis sisters, Skeeter and Betty Jack, singing "Christmas Boogie," is just icing on the cake. Most of these artists were popular in the 40's, before I was born, but I listened to Skeeter, as a love-sick teen in my West Virginia home, in the 60's.
Ruben Lewis Baker was a handsome man at 19 years old. He's what the girls called "a looker" with his wavy dark hair and mischievious grin. It probably didn't hurt that he drove a Chevrolet Malibu, which was also the cool car to have back in 1967.
He had just graduated from Walton-Verona High School and had his whole life ahead of him, but when Uncle Sam called in 1968, he answered the call because it was his civic duty.
This is in response to a letter written by John Waltz. Congressman Geoff Davis has been very helpful to myself and all of the soldiers that I have referred to him since our deployment to Afghanistan in 2007-08. He continues to be a strong asset to our unit and, he has also helped other units in this area. Congressman Davis came to my unit's deployment ceremony and he was at our welcome home ceremony.
Do you know a miracle from a coincidence? When some unusual thing happens in our life, we may not recognize it as a blessing because it wasn't big enough. For some people, the wall of China would have to fall down to get their attention to be a miracle, otherwise, the unusual thing would just be a coincidence. Really?
As chair of the Kentucky county Judge-Executive Legislative committee, I wish to express my sincere appreciation to your Judge-Executive Darrell Link, for the excellent work he has done on behalf of Grant and all of Kentucky's counties.
With the election now just past, I was searching for a topic and while I was researching, I thought why not talk about voting in the election.
An article on www.foxnews.com stated that the U.S. 9th Circuit Court of Appeals had shot down a law proposing that voters in Arizona prove they are citizens before registering to vote and to show identification before casting their ballots.
age coverage about election day. Especially your picture of Julian Wills. Whether one is Republican/Democrat or Independent, one has to admire him. He is 90 years old. He has been active in the election process for 17 years and was up at 4 a.m. and at the precinct at 5 a.m. to be working.
eir sponsorship and support for the cross country tournament. We had a lot of compliments on the tournament and thanks to Dry Ridge Toyota our tournament is becoming one of the best in the state. I also appreciate their sponsorship of the Dry Ridge Toyota Invitational Cup. Without their support, our athletes would not be able to experience one of the best soccer tournaments in Northern Kentucky. We appreciate everything they do for the athletes at Grant County High School.

There is a battle in our country. It is going on every day and it is being fought without many people even knowing it is happening. It is the battle for our American way of life and the freedoms that we treasure and enjoy.
Pink is the new black – at least at PHI Air Medical. No, it is not a fashion statement, rather a statement about life and health.
October is breast cancer awareness month. PHI Air Medical is on a mission to touch the lives of moms, grandmothers, sisters, daughters and female friends this month.
One in eight women will be diagnosed in their lifetime, 40,000 die each year and every 14 minutes a life is lost to the disease – the reality is that precaution and awareness are the best defense.
Fast facts about breast cancer:
Those of us in Grant County have a special service in our community that some may not know about.
Recently, I had to have surgery for cancer that required radiation twice a day for five days consecutive days and occurring six hours apart, at 6 a.m. and 4 p.m., on Thomas More Parkway.
Due to some circumstances, I was not able to drive myself and needed help. I called the coordinator of the American Cancer Society and talked to Darlene Houchens. She in turn called volunteers that take their own time and expenses to help those in need like myself.
Thanks to the 87 people who paid for and attended the Spears Foundation Feed the People Benefit for the Free Lunch Kitchen on Oct. 14. It was an awesome event and if you missed it, you missed something special.
Tickets sold out two weeks before the event. We even added a surprise or two, but that's what we always do when we have a Hogan House dinner or one of our other dinner events.
Taylor Henry put on a wonderful show mixing his own songs with a couple of favorites of his grandmother who was in the audience.
Harvey Perleberg is my choice for jailer. He has twice the experience of his opponent.
I worked with him at the jail from 1997 to 2000.
I have known Brian Linder for several years and for the last couple of weeks I have been able to help him with his campaign for magistrate. That has been an experience that is out of this world. I'm a political science student at Northern Kentucky University and the experience I have gotten from this has been that of which can't be matched.
I'm writing this letter as an endorsement for Brian Linder of Dry Ridge, who is a candidate for one of our local magistrate races.
Harvey Perleberg has my vote for jailer on Nov. 2. I know he has the ability and knowledge to lead the jail in the right direction and he has twice the experience of his opponent.
Perleberg is a World War II historian. His father was a waist gunner on a B-17, who went on 36 missions over Europe. When a B-17 came to Lunken Airport, he took his father to see it. When he asked his father what he thought of it, his dad answered, "Well, I remember it being a whole lot bigger."

(Ed. Note: Gene Gilliland is a senior fisheries biologist with the Oklahoma Department of Wildlife and president of the North Oklahoma City Bassmasters.)You've read much in BASS Times about how important it is for you and your Federation to build a relationship with your state fishery management agency. But just how do you go about doing that?
Many times relationships are started when circumstances force sportsmen's organizations and management agencies together to deal with an issue. Sometimes, everyone is on the same side and a long-lasting partnership is formed.
However, issues are often divisive and groups take sides against each other. All too often, such reactionary settings are confrontational and get relationships off to a rocky start with both parties mistrusting each other.
A much better way to build a healthy relationship, grounded on respect and trust, is to be proactive. Don't wait for an issue to come up. Make it a point to get together when there are no burning issues to distract or polarize either side. Try to create a team atmosphere where everyone works together. If you go into the process with the idea that everyone is on the same side and that your ultimate goals are the same (conservation of aquatic resources and the perpetuation of quality fishing opportunities), you can begin to build a bond that will hold through the ups and downs and disagreements that will inevitably crop up. Start locally, and begin by building a positive relationship with biologists that manage the fisheries that matter the most to you. Use that relationship to open doors to administrative offices in the agency headquarters. Having allies within the agency can pave the way and help establish positive connections throughout the agency. Once you've developed a working relationship with local agency personnel regarding issues that matter most to you, and you have a track record of successful projects or problem resolution, you're ready to approach the agency administrators with a list of "big picture" issues that may affect the region or the entire state.
Invite agency staff to a planning session where you can all sit down at the table and discuss issues, constraints, resources that are available to be used in addressing the issues, priorities and timetables. At this point it is a good idea to use a trained facilitator to guide the discussion. Facilitators can help you stay focused on the objectives and make your time more productive. They can also help in summarizing the results of the day's meeting and provide unbiased feedback to all participants."Team-building," "Relationship" and "Partnership" are common buzzwords in government and business today. Everyone says you need to have them, but nobody can snap their fingers and create them. You have to have a sincere commitment to make them happen. Take the initiative and extend a hand to your potential agency partners. Together, you can make a differenceDo's and dont's of relationship building As both a Federation member and professional biologist, Gene Gilliland is uniquely qualified to bridge the gap between anglers and their state government counterparts. Following is his list of "do's" and "don'ts" for relationship building between the two groups.

Return On Investment - Part II: Appraising the investment value of intranets
by Toby Ward — Intranets can be very expensive and finding the money requires a persuasive argument. In the final installment of a two-part article on ROI, Toby Ward explores specific hard and soft investment benefits.
Appraising the investment value of intranets
In part two of a two-part article on intranet return on investment (ROI), IDM explores the potential hard and soft investment benefits.
Rather than just building it with little or no care for the financial impacts or potential, more and more organizations are building intranet business cases and properly planning their intranet build in order deliver the desired return on investment.
It is also worth noting that we're not just talking about large companies either: a recent META Group study found that more than 85% of Global 2000 companies have implemented or are developing intranets - and small and medium-size businesses (SMBs) are following suit. Modalis Research found that 70% of all SMBs, including government agencies & non-profits, believe that having an intranet is important.
In Part I of our two part look at intranet ROI we examined the challenges of ascribing a dollar value to an intranet. While measuring the hard dollar cost savings – such as reduced printing costs and headcount – is relatively straight forward, valuating the soft benefits – such as improved access and increased employee productivity – is a far greater challenge due to the wide-ranging, all-encompassing nature of successful intranets.
While using the three generic approaches to measuring intranet ROI outlined in Part I are all valid, more CEOs and CFOs are looking for more precise targets and business plans. To develop more precise measurements, you have to know where to look and what to measure. To answer that need, I've categorized the potential benefit measurements – both hard and soft benefits – into ten categories:
10 Intranet ROI benefits:
Hard Costs
Application Access
Time To Market
Customer Service
Human Resources
Hard Costs
Hard cost savings and avoidance are the most commonly reported areas for intranet investment, and perhaps the easiest to measure. Hard cost benefits range from reduced staff due to automated processes to eliminated printing and circulation expenses.
At Cisco Systems, all employees submit their personal business expenses via the intranet – which has not only saved the company millions, but also reduced the waiting time for reimbursement. Cisco's METRO expense reporting application has reduced the cost of processing expense reports (compared to the traditional paper system) from US$50.69 in 1996 to $1.90 in 1999 – a whopping 96% reduction. Total METRO savings in 1999 totaled US$77 million. At the same time, the time required for processing each expense report dropped from an average of 21 days to only 4 days.
By webifying business processes and aggregating tools and information on the corporate intranet or portal, employees become more productive as they get what they want and get where they want more quickly with better results. Productivity benefits range from easier and faster content publishing to unlimited access, regardless of location, to company tools and information.
Sun Microsystems usability experts calculated that 21,000 employees wasted an average of six minutes per day due to inconsistent intranet user interface design and navigation. Multiplying lost time by user salaries, the estimated productivity loss exceeded US$10 million per year.

The Main Bed & Breakfast Inn, located in Palacios, Texas. Established in 1999, innkeepers Nick and Kathy Nichols have been hosting the best guests in south Texas. Just two blocks from Tres Palacios Bay, you and your family can enjoy biking, birding, kayaking, and plenty of relaxing. Four bungalows are available with kitchen and space to relax in. Full vegetarian breakfast served. Kayaking on the Bay may be arranged. We look forward to hosting your stay!
4.8 on April 07, 2014
We stayed at The Main Inn for three nights in March 2014. It was wonderful. Peaceful and within in walking distance of the bay where you could walk to your heart's content. Kathy and Nick were great hosts. Kathy's Breakfasts were wonderful and fulfilling. We were also allowed to have our little dog which is something most B&B's won't allow. Ann, Tom, & Poco
5 on August 23, 2011
We had not a clue that this would be one of our best experience with a B&B! The bungalow was ready, in fact we were able to check in 2 plus hours a head of schedule. Facts about our bungalow were explained as well as points of interest within the city. The supplies for the kitchen were very acceptable and extremely clean. The breakfasts were actually more than outstanding, they were healthy, proper portions, and the Innkeepers took time to visit with the guest at every meal. The value was this B & B is so much more than a motel in every way. It was a grand experience and one we will look forward to repeating in the future.
4.0 on July 03, 2011
Nick and Kathy were wonderful hosts. Delicious breakfasts. Everything clean and comfy. We'll be back.
4.8 on October 31, 2010
We stayed at the Main Inn overnight and were pleasantly surprised to find such gracious, accommodating hosts. The atmosphere is relaxed and easy, and the breakfast of pear and ginger pancakes was delicious! We stayed in Peachy, and a cat that looked a little "peachy" tried to share the bed with us, but grudgingly left when we insisted. The grounds are lovely, the conversation interesting, and the experience was one we will definitely repeat.
4.4 on October 28, 2010
My wife and I have been staying at the Main Inn in Palacios, TX for years and it impresses every time. The main house is registered as a historic landmark and is kept in beautiful condition. The bungalows and apartments on the rest of the grounds are great for a weekend getaway or a long-term stay. Nick and Kathy are the most interesting and well-traveled inn-keepers you'll find. Whether it's stories about sailing around the world, playing some guitar or eating the 5-star breakfast, you'll be amazed at how much you enjoy the Main Inn!
5 on October 23, 2010
My husband and I have been staying at the Main Inn several times a year for as long as Nick and Kathy have been open (11 years). Obviously, we love it, and our hosts. Palacios is a quiet place to "get away from it all", and the Main Inn is the perfect setting for relaxing. We have stayed in almost all of the rooms and find them each charming in their own way. Many interesting conversations have been had while enjoying wine and music on Friday evenings in the Bistro, and we have met some delightful guests over Kathy's wonderful breakfasts. The Main Inn seems to attract unique, intriguing people. The Inn Cats are inviting but not pushy. Overall, I cannot say enough good things about the Main Inn, and Nick and Kathy. Go see for yourself!

SummerStage in Association with Blue Note Jazz Festival Presents: Buika / Marques Toliver
Sunday, June 22, 2014
7:00 p.m.–10:00 p.m.
Please note: This event has already taken place. Please use the Search options on the right to find upcoming events.
Since her introduction to the American marketplace in 2007 with her album Mi Niña Lola (My Little Girl Lola), Buika has experienced a meteoric rise, earning lavish praise from The New York Times, The Miami Herald, and The Wall Street Journal, as well as NPR which quickly included her in their "50 Great Voices" radio gallery. Her next release, Niña de Fuego (Fire Child) paved the way for relocation to Miami in 2011. After achieving success in Europe, her works were compiled on the 2-CD set En Mi Piel (In My Skin) to coincide with the Pedro Almodovar movie of the same name in which she appeared. Buika was nominated for a GRAMMY for best Latin Jazz album this year, for her latest album La Noche Mas Larga. Rare is the artist to garner comparisons to Nina Simone, Chavela Vargas, and Cesaria Evora, but Buika has been compared to all of them. The New York Post has said, "A singer like Buika comes only once in a generation."
While Marques Toliver seemed to burst onto the scene via the UK with an arresting television performance in 2010, and a declaration from Adele as her "new favorite artist," his story really began many years ago in Florida. It was there he began his training in classical violinist at the age of 10, and would later enroll in music school. Keen to throw him-self into the real world of music making, Toliver took a leap of faith and traveled to New York City, where his busking in subways and working as a freelance musician, quickly gained him attention from fellow artists. Soon enough he found himself playing live and on records for the likes of Holly Miranda, Grizzly Bear, and Miles Benjamin Anthony Robinson. After another move to London, Toliver began winning over that city's musical landscape in similar fashion, and soon he signed to Bella Union and released his well-received debut EP Butterflies Are Not Free. Following worldwide tours, he began work on the mixtape Studying For My Ph. D, a cornucopia of music, speech, loops, and news reports from the London Riots. Through the mixtape he would also delve in to some of the themes and ideas that would eventually influence his full-length debut Land of CanAan, a work brimming with his own unique R&B and Classical music influences.

getting paint to adhere to plaster
I have this closet and I cannot get the good quality flat paint to adhear to the plaster on the inside. Someone told me about 25 years ago that I have to treat the lime in the plaster to get adhesion and I've forgotten what he said. Any suggestions? The paint just peels right off... but not everywhere. The plaster is smooth, not chalky.
Remove as much of the existing paint as possible (most of it will come off easily) and, assuming it's clean, etch the plaster by scrubbing with a 50/50 mixture of white vinegar and water - this helps to microscopically "profile" the slick surface for better adhesion, plus neutralizes the surface alkalinity (for best results, spray surface with vinegar solution using a spray bottle or pump-up garden sprayer - then scrub. Dipping a sponge into solution then scrubbing wall - then dipping sponge again will only neutralize your solution and render it ineffective). Rinse with clean water and allow to dry. At this point, there are several schools of thought on the best way to prime and paint aged plaster - for years, alkyd/oil primers were the industry's best offerings, but new technologies have elevated acrylics to a much better, longer lasting foundation coating (Bulls-Eye 123 et al)...My personal favorite, for slick, aged plaster, however, is pigmented shellac (BIN - available at any independently owned paint store, big box, company store, hardware, etc.). If you've never used it before, the fumes will have you bumping your head on the ceiling without proper ventilation (relatively harmless, but strong), but the product is naturally alkali resistant and the adhesion is phenomenal. If you decide to use BIN (I mention that particular brand name 'cause they're pretty much the only manufacturer of pigmented shellac in the country), the fumes will dissipate quickly, can be top-coated in about 45 minutes with any type finish (stay with a latex type coating though), and your problem should be solved. Best of luck and let us know how it turns out.
Dear Ric,
Thank you very much for your thoughtful reply. I am very familiar with BIN because years ago I bought a house and painted the entire inside only to have horrid brown spots that dripped down the wall appear the very next day. (the prior owners were chain smokers). We then had to prime the entire inside with BIN and then repaint. Within one year the paint fell off the ceilings and the Ben Moore guy came and said that the BIN had failed to adhere to the paint that was on the plaster... because what peeled off had left the plaster exposed. I still like BIN (though I wish it didn't have such a sheen when dry) and will do everything you recommend before I repaint my bare plaster first with BIN then the paint. You're right, the plaster is hard as a rock and shiny.
Thanks again!
mustard gas?
I still believe that the statement " ric knows paint" made needs to be addressed,
Mr Ric might very well know paint but to make a comment like Bin fumes are "relatively harmless" is way misleading, at best.
I think that the solution is to not, unless directly asked, give advice on the issue of toxicity of fumes of a legal product, for a number of reasons. Before someone suggests that I want to encourage people to huff paint/solvent fumes, let me say, I don't. That's the immature way some are, if you're not totally, vehemently against what they're against, you're totally in favor of the opposite. I assume that everyone I encounter here is a thinking, rational, responsible, mature adult and, as such, can make their own determination as to what constitutes a danger to their health. Every paint can is chock full of warnings, to an overblown extent, about breathing, drinking, skin/eye contact, sanding dust, lead exposure, etc, etc, etc. Enough. I read most all can labels of products I use, and the room required to post all warnings takes valuable real estate that could be better spent advising me how to use the product, its specs, and what I can expect it to do. And at that, you need a magnifying glass. Let's save the multiple languages for another thread. Reading the label is being responsible, which if you don't do, you get what you get. The body is equipped with sensors to alert you that something is disturbing or injurious to you, use them, don't wait for me to tell you. What is so is different for all. If something disturbs you, don't use it or better equip yourself. Isn't protecting yourself against nasty chemical smells intuitive? I don't assume people are too stupid or that physiologically ill equipped. That's the basis. We only know these chemicals are dangerous(?) because someone has told us, and in California, everything is considered a danger, except those giving the warnings. I've been breathing paint fumes/solvents, dust, lead, silica, fiberglass, asbestos, etc., day in day out, for the better part of twenty five years or so. I'm not dead, as suggested by the blinking cursor I can see. And, I've been a smoker for that duration as well. And I know plenty of old, seasoned painters, who are very much alive, some to my chagrin. With that comparative, aggregate experience, it's almost ridiulous to think that the incidental exposure that a homeowner will experience will be a deadly encounter, or create serious long term health consequences. The may be some, like asthmatics or those pregnant, who may have adverse consequences, but don't they already know their natural defenses are compromised and should take added precaution or abstain? Take smoking, how could anyone in their right mind believe, or claim to be lulled into believing, that breathing smoke from burning substances into their lungs isn't/couldn't be harmful? There's a drive here in Cape May to make the beaches and other public areas smoke free. Okay. There are those who are resistant to creating smoking sections at the entrance areas on the chance that a child will walk by and be exposed to second hand smoke. Really? If second hand, or first hand for that matter, were that dangerous/deadly, I wouldn't be seeing the blinking cursor. Again, for the immature, I'm not promoting or condoning smoking. I simply use it to illustrate the ignorance and hysteria that surrounds the use of chemicals and the incidental exposure to them. We're not talking radiation here. I'm not against advising/warning people. If I saw a hole in the ground, I would warn you. If you're contemplating using volatile solvents in the presence of pilots, I'll warn you. When it comes to what is noxious to you, I'll leave your sensors to warn you of that. With the latter, your senses are there to warn you before the injury. With the former, it's the broken leg or the explosion that wakes you up. Just my opinion. Thanks for the rant.
Nice paragraph joe!! And so big! lol
I do think the great adhesion acrylic primers will do the job- they have for me MANY times.
Very seldom do I run into virgin plaster though. This isn't either. Fully cured.
The wash that ric said is great idea- then a good primer - doesn't need to be BIn or oil- Z 123, BM fresh Start, Z's Smart Prime, etc. Not a difficult problem.
The problem i do usually see is someone hits raw plaster with a flat latex. That will eventually fail.
I just prime with an oil based primer and it not only sticks but stops and brown looking stains from coming through like when you use a latex primer.
Once the oil primers dry it can be painted with latex paint.
As to the thread, when it comes to priming plaster, I still like my tried and true Cover Stain oil. I agree with joecaption, who, by the way, I welcome to the forum.
I know you do. I think there's a 12 step program for that... lol
Bleeding is a different issue- and not caused by plaster.
But you oil guys just keep on...
Regarding the thread, I agree with everybody (how's that for sounding sufficiently wishy-washy?). Cover Stain is a great product and is listed as a "VT Alkyd" coating - The problem with alkyds are their sensitivity to alkaline substrates. They will obviously adhere well to a plaster surface but, if moisture is present, saponification is always a possibility. Personally, I believe Cover Stain is NOT a simple VT Alkyd. Zinsser is very protective of their formulations and VT Alkyds (primers or finishes) are typically not recommended (a) for exterior applications (poor gloss retention and UV resistance) (b) as wood primers, especially whole house primers (too brittle) or (c) for use over slick, glossy surfaces without sanding (alkyds need penetration) - and Cover Stain is recommended in all these instances...I could be dead wrong, but I believe Cover Stain is an Acrylic modified VT Alkyd (which makes all sorts of sense in my tiny mind)...
Acrylic Bonding Primers will work great also, they have outstanding adhesion and are alkali resistant, but take a while to cure. During that critical 10-15 day cure time, the outstanding adhesion of these products just ain't there. That's not to say a problem will occur, it's just something to be aware of.
...and therein lies the reason I prefer pigmented shellac, the curing. Since shellac cures solely by solvent evaporation, it's the only product (of the 3 mentioned) that reaches it's max adhesion within an hour or so. Since the product is alkali resistant and cures so quickly, you don't have the worry of an acrylic coating "lifting" a partially cured primer from the surface during it's cure cycle.
Each of these primers could, and will, work on plaster when applied properly. In my opinion, I believe shellac is the safest bet on the long term success of a paint system - and, of course, by "safe" I mean a "safe" recommendation for use as a primer...
VT Alkyd?
Vinyl Toluene Alkyd (often short-oil),...typically used in fast dry products, shop coat primers, quick dry alkyd stain blockers, etc. Not typically used in higher quality finishes as they really don't penetrate a surface very well, are not known of their UV resistance (fades and chalks quickly), and dry so brittle (similar to lacquer) that, over time and with any surface movement, lose adhesion - especially on slick, smooth surfaces since penetration is limited due to the quick dry time.

Ticket alert: John Lurie presents his celeb-studded fishing show at Nitehawk
The actor, painter, and musician answers your questions about his curious TV series.
Mon Apr 1 2013
As an actor, John Lurie is best known for his deadpan turns in several Jim Jarmusch films. As a musician, he led downtown punk-jazz group the Lounge Lizards for the better part of three decades. And as an artist, his main postmillennium pursuit, Lurie has sold paintings to the MoMA and has been featured in a show at PS1. But Fishing with John, a five-episode series directed by and starring Lurie, remains one of the strangest and most beguiling things in his oeuvre.
The program, a send-up of Saturday-morning fishing programs, follows Lurie and a celebrity guest as they venture out on the water to catch red snapper, squid and other water prey (guests include Willem Dafoe, Tom Waits, Jim Jarmusch and Dennis Hopper). The commentary often hits existential, absurdist notes, reflecting on the boredom and pointlessness of the task at hand. In a representative screen cap above, Lurie and Jarmusch—tired of their attempts at more traditional methods—are baiting a shark with a slice of cheese. Lurie stands at the ready to shoot the leaping creature with a handgun.
With those prolific film and music credits to his name, Lurie has keep a relatively low profile in recent years. He's been recovering from advanced Lyme disease, and in 2010, he was the subject of a New Yorker feature, which portrayed him as reclusive and paranoid (a claim refuted by Lurie and others). Since then, he's joined Twitter, and in November, he appeared at a sold-out Fishing with John screening, where he participated in a Q&A. If you missed that one-off—and odds are you did—Lurie will reprise the event, appearing with episodes of the show again this April at Nitehawk Cinema. Those interested should act quickly: Tickets for the April 17 event have already disappeared.
Nitehawk will present two Fishing with John programs: Part I on April 17 and 24 features the Willem Dafoe, Tom Waits and Dennis Hopper episodes, with a short film based on Lurie's paintings called "First and Royal Queen." Part II on April 20 features the Waits episode along with Lurie's rarely shown 1979 film, Men in Orbit, along with "First and Royal Queen" and the Lurie-directed video for the Lounge Lizards song "Big Heart."

AIM Bots
FaceTime Communications recently discovered a worm that uses America Online Instant Messenger, otherwise known as AIM, to create a network of controlled PCs or also known as a bot network. It's called the "Pipeline Worm" and it is revolutionary.
Bot networks are networks of PCs controlled by an outside entity. This entity gains control of these PCs by infecting them by using one of several procedures such as Trojans or Worms. Attackers ideally want a large number of PCs under their control, which helps them to achieve their goal objectives faster and with less of a chance of getting caught.
AIM Pipeline Worm attempts to infect users' systems with seemingly harmless instant messages containing some ploy with a link to an infected executable. Nothing here is out of the ordinary so far, but this is where the worm really singles itself out. You see, most of these types of infections are made up of only a few files. If any of the files fail, the bot network can become bottlenecked, which slows down its performance. The Pipeline Worm however, is modular and comprised of many different files that can perform different functions and work either with or without the aid of the other files. This basically means if one of the files in the infection fails, the other files just roll on without it, cutting their loss, in order to still continue the mission.
The good news in all of this is that FaceTime Communications caught the worm while it was still in the building stages, which should minimize the effect expected from this worm if unleashed unbeknownst to the public. From here, we will have to watch as this attack unfolds and inspires other attackers to implement these techniques into their own public assaults. So, until then, please don't click on any hyperlinks in AIM or any other IMs. You should leave your e-mail alone for that matter as well. If you're unsure of its origin, it can only lead to bad things.
Firefox Update:
On another note, Firefox, the very popular Internet browser, released a patch late Thursday. The patch addresses seven vulnerabilities, four of which have a critical rating from Secuna and Mozilla.
Firefox's critical flaws include:
1. RSA signature forgery flaw.
2. Cross-Site Scripting.
3. Java expression heap corruption issue.
4. Memory corruption, which could lead to execution of codes.
The 126.96.36.199 patch for Firefox should be downloaded immediately if you haven't updated already. You can check which version of Firefox you have by opening up the browser and going to Help, About and in the window that pops up, you will notice the version number as the last entry.
If you would like to download the update yourself, you can find it here.
Until next week, stay safe out there!

World Constitutions Illustrated
We now have access to HeinOnline's "World Constitutions Illustrated" library. According to HeinOnline, some of the important features of this library include: access to the current constitution of every country in its native language, English translations for 90% of those constitutions, links to related books and articles, a collection of 800 "classic" books related to constitutions and more. For complete details about the content of this resource, see the brochure <pdf>. "World Constitutions Illustrated" is currently not considered a replacement for Oxford's "Constitutions of the Countries of the World" database, which we also subscribe to, so both resources should be checked when doing constitutional research for foreign countries. The HeinOnline resource will continue to grow as libraries contribute additional historical documents it.

Federated Search Engine - Available to all CUNY Libraries on a Trial Basis Through 2009
This tool allows you to search across multiple non-legal databases available to all CUNY campuses. It is provided by EBSCO, but it is not limited to EBSCO databases. The first page allows you to choose pre-selected groups of databases by subject. If you click on the "Databases A-Z" link you can specify exactly which databases you wish to combine. Note that although LexisNexis Academic is listed as one of the choices, the law school does not have access to that database. Using this tool is similar to using meta search engines, where the results you get may not be as complete as searching each database or search engine individually. This resource is on trial for all CUNY libraries through the end of 2009. Send any comments to Jonathan Saxon, Electronic Resource Coordinator.

BBC Review
Scots deliver moments of sombre beauty and the odd electric thrill.
Charles Ubaghs 2010
From the minute Win Butler and his Canadian comrades burst out of Montreal with the release of Funeral, music journalists have attempted to slap the phrase "The Next Aracade Fire" onto any band partial to an epic song. It's a label that has yet to stick, but critics keep searching for what has become the indie holy grail.
Edinburgh's Meursault are a recent recipient of the fleeting honour. Their debut, Pissing on Bonfires/Kissing with Tongues, was met with critical, if not entirely commercial, success thanks to a deft melding of pastoral folk, lo-fi electronics and the haunting ambience of band leader Neil Pennycook's soaring vocals. The record may not have scaled the same vertigo-inducing heights as the aforementioned Canadians, but it left enough of a mark for it to be named one of the top 20 Scottish albums of the decade by Scottish culture magazine, The Skinny.
The band returns with follow-up LP All Creatures Will Make Merry, and those looking to make an Arcade Fire comparison this time around had best look elsewhere. This is a record that, at its best, erupts forth on Crank Resolutions and New Ruins with an unlikely but searing fusion of pulsing machine beats and lo-fi folk that wouldn't feel out of place on a collection of ethnomusicologist Alan Lomax's famous field recordings.
This may read like a direction eerily reminiscent of Animal Collective's embracing of folk and electronics over their lengthy career, but Pennycook and crew rarely ever push things to the feted Brooklyn band's feverish level of experimentation. Instead, Meursault, over the span of this album, strap the static hum of their machines to a structured, straightforward framework constructed out of materials taken from a traditional folk template, one that recalls the like-minded strums of their neighbours in the King Creosote-led Fence Collective.
'Folktronica' isn't a new idea, of course. Tunng and Adem have been toying with it to varying degrees of success for a number of years now. Meursualt may not be leading the charge into undiscovered terrain, then, but All Creatures Will Make Merry does prove them capable of putting their own singular stamp on the hybrid genre with moments of sombre beauty and the odd electric thrill.

Torre's Game on Dude Among 180 Pre-Entered in Breeders' Cup
Major League Baseball executive Joe Torre's Game on Dude is among the 180 thoroughbred race horses pre-entered in the 29th Breeders' Cup Championships.
The 5-year-old gelding, trained by Bob Baffert, finished second last year in the $5 million Breeders' Cup Classic, the richest horse race in North America. Game on Dude has won nine of 20 starts and has earned nearly $3 million.
Game on Dude is the early favorite at 5-2, with Royal Delta, trained by Bill Mott, at 6-1, according to Mike Watchmaker, the national handicapper for the Daily Racing Form.
The 15-race championship series will be run over Nov. 2-3 at Santa Anita Park in Arcadia, California, with more than $25 million paid out in purses.
Besides Game on Dude and Royal Delta, 12 other horses have been pre-entered in the Classic for a full field, including Dullahan, Flat Out, Handsome Mike, Nonios, Ron the Greek, To Honor and Serve, Alpha, Brilliant Speed, Fort Larned, Mucho Macho Man, Pool Play and Richard's Kid.
Royal Delta, the winner of last year's Ladies Classic, is returning to defend her title, although the filly may enter the Classic to race against male competitors on Nov. 3.
For the first time, all 2-year-olds will be racing without the use of Lasix, a medication used to control bleeding in the lungs.
Santa Anita is hosting the Breeders' Cup for the sixth time. Six races will be run on the first day, highlighted by the Ladies' Classic, and nine, including the Classic, on the following day.

I am not interested in pocket carry, I want a good IWB holster. Does anyone know if any of the custom makers or the big manufacturers such as Galco, Bianchi, Safariland, etc. are making IWB hoslters for the LCP?

If you have a digital camera, cellphone or other device that uses memory cards then you've probably used or heard of a memory card reader before. A memory card reader is a device in which you insert an applicable card to transfer pictures, music and what-have-you over to your computer and vice versa. Some of the newer computers come with memory card readers built-in, but the most common form factor is the standard little box connected via a usb cable.
So how does one go about using one of these handy-dandy devices? Let's explore, shall we?
First things first, we need to hook the card reader to our computer. Look at the front of your PC, do you see anything that looks like this? If not, it might be on the back. You'll have to stretch!
This USB port is where we'll be plugging in our card reader device. Do that now, if you're ready.
Once you plug the device in, your computer should make some noises, which, if you're running Windows XP or Windows Vista, is perfectly normal. The bleeps and bloops simply mean that it's installing drivers. If you still happen to be running Windows 98, stop now and upgrade already!
Next, you can go ahead and remove the memory card in question from your camera or other device and insert it into the appropriate sized port in your card reader. Different card readers have different slot sizes, but if it fits securely, chances are that it will work. The most common size is SD and Mini SD, so keep that in mind when looking to purchase a reader.
After inserting your card into the card reader you'll see a window pop up that looks similar to this:
Choose the option that says " Open Folder to View Files". This will give you access to all of the pictures, music or what-have-you that's stored on your card.
After that, it's pretty self explanatory. Just cut or copy the files you want and paste into a folder on your computer.
When you're done, simply unplug the card reader from your computer, pull the card out of the reader and slip it back into the device you were using! Ta'da!

The Johns Hopkins Institute for NanoBioTechnology (INBT) recently announced that Sharon Gerecht and Hai-Quan Mao have been appointed as associate directors, effective January 1, 2016.
"The addition of Gerecht and Mao to the Institute's leadership team will be crucial in developing new research areas," says director Peter C. Searson, the Joseph R. and Lynn C. Reynolds Professor in Materials Science and Engineering at the Whiting School.
Associate director Denis Wirtz, Vice Provost for Research and the Theophilus H. Smoot Professor of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering adds, "Their broad research interests and forward-thinking vision will contribute to shaping the institute's future."
Both Gerecht and Mao are engaged in collaborative projects with investigators in Johns Hopkins University's School of Medicine, Bloomberg School of Public Health, and Krieger School of Arts and Sciences, and the university's Applied Physics Laboratory.
Gerecht, the Kent Gordon Croft Investment Management Faculty Scholar and an associate professor of chemical and biomolecular engineering, has been a member of the INBT since arriving at Johns Hopkins in 2007. Gerecht's research interests include stem cell differentiation, biomaterials development and tissue engineering approaches for regenerative medicine and cancer. In 2015, Gerecht received the inaugural President's Frontier Award from Johns Hopkins University, in recognition of her scholarly achievements and exceptional promise.
Mao, a professor of materials science and engineering, has been active in INBT since its inception in 2006. Mao holds joint appointments in the Translational Tissue Engineering Center in the School of Medicine and the Whitaker Biomedical Engineering Institute. His research focuses on creating nanofiber matrix platforms to direct stem cell expansion and differentiation, nanomaterials to modulate the immunoenvironment and promote neural regeneration, and developing nanoparticle systems to deliver plasmid DNA, siRNA, vaccines and other therapeutic agents.
"INBT has been instrumental in advancing science and engineering in critically important areas of research," says Ed Schlesinger, the Benjamin T. Rome Dean of the Whiting School of Engineering. "An additional manifestation of the INBT's success and growth is the astonishingly talented faculty who are part of the institute and who are willing and able to take on leadership roles. I have no doubt that in their new roles Sharon and Hai-Quan will help advance the INBT's mission and its stellar reputation."
INBT was launched in 2006 with support from Senator Barbara Mikulski to promote multidisciplinary research at the interface of nanotechnology and medicine. The institute, with more than 250 affiliated faculty members from the Johns Hopkins University's School of Medicine, Whiting School of Engineering, Krieger School of Arts and Sciences, School of Education, Bloomberg School of Public Heath, and the Applied Physics Laboratory, is home to several center grants and numerous education, training, and outreach programs.
All press inquiries about this program or about INBT in general should be directed to Mary Spiro, INBT's science writer and media relations director at mspiroATjhu.edu.

I agree long breaks in practice can let us become more compromized on the skills but - I'll suggest too - even with frequent range/practice days .. for some reason it can still happen that we have an ''off'' day.
From your decribed usual shooting routine I cannot believe you had ''lsot it'' as bad as it seemed - rather than perhaps just not being on top form.
I know I don't shoot exactly same every time and can have odd times when I wonder which toilet my abilities went down

Trent Reznor + Atticus Ross 'Gone Girl' Songs Surface Online
Check out four songs ahead of the 'Gone Girl' premiere.
Check out four songs ahead of the 'Gone Girl' premiere.
"Bow down before the one you serve / You're going to get what you deserve." That line became famous thanks to an angst-ridden youngster named Trent Reznor and his band Nine Inch Nails. But a lot has changed for Reznor over the years and he reflected on how his music and perspective has shifted with age in a new interview with The Daily Record.
That hilarious Trent Reznor parody song -- appropriately titled 'This Is a Trent Reznor Song' -- from a few weeks back has a video now.
Back in January, the hilarious parody song 'This Is a Trent Reznor Song' was released by Freddy Scott. He channels Nine Inch Nails frontman Trent Reznor in a spot on performance.
The way Josh Homme sees it, if things go well on Queens of the Stone Age's upcoming co-headlining tour of Australia with Nine Inch Nails, the concept could be expanded to a sort of touring festival that's inspired by the curatorial aspects of Trent Reznor's Beats Audio streaming music service.
This year's Grammy Awards were closed by Nine Inch Nails, Queens of the Stone Age, Dave Grohl and Fleetwood Mac's Lindsey Buckingham., but the all-star gig was cut short on television when closing credits and sponsors were shown instead of the end of the performance. You can watch rehearsal video of the entire performance above, but in a new interview, Nine Inch Nails frontman Trent Reznor lashes out at Grammy organizers, vowing never to return and calling it "an utter waste of time."
There's no doubt that Nine Inch Nails mastermind Trent Reznor is a musical innovator -- and they say that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. But that all said, a new parody tune called 'This Is a Trent Reznor Song' is just plain hilarious!
The 2014 Grammy Awards was yet another successful broadcast of the annual event, but within the worlds of rock and metal, a tremendous amount of controversy and perceived disrespect caused a heated worldwide conversation. Most spiteful amongst Grammy performers this year was undoubtedly Nine Inch Nails' Trent Reznor, who offered a strong "F--- You" to the Grammys, but now the award show's Executive Producer has offered a public apology to Reznor.
Nine Inch Nails mastermind Trent Reznor always has something up his sleeve. Just a few days ago, Reznor helped launch the Beats Music streaming service as the project's Chief Creative Officer. In addition to that feat, Reznor suggests that there may be new Nine Inch Nails music under way.
If it's not broke, don't fix it. And it's safe to say that the partnership of film director David Fincher with Nine Inch Nails and How to Destroy Angels mastermind Trent Reznor and his HTDA partner Atticus Ross is definitely not broken. Reznor and Ross have signed on to score their third movie for Fincher, 'Gone Girl,' which is expected in theaters later this year.
Nine Inch Nails frontman Trent Reznor took an impromptu break during rehearsals this week (Dec. 5) to field fan submitted questions on Reddit.
2013 has been a big year for Trent Reznor, with the return of Nine Inch Nails and the full-length album debut of How to Destroy Angels. Now he's looking to kick off 2014 with a major launch as well. Beats Music, the new music streaming service from Reznor and music mogul Jimmy Iovine, will officially arrive in January.

After a year in which Randy Mearns' squad won the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference and made the NCAA tournament, the Golden Griffins are on the right path.
However, they'll be significantly younger in 2013 - out of 39 players on the roster, 30 are freshmen or sophomores. Working with many players who lack experience on the offensive side of the ball, fallball was essential to work out the kinks and figure out who will play primary roles.
