I have a deck which I need to build for my own new home construction project. The deck sits partially on top of a conditioned space so I need to make certain that it is waterproof. The plan is to lay a slightly sloped (1/4" per 1') plywood deck down, waterproof that plywood, then lay sleepers over that and then cover it with Ipe or a synthetic 1x6 decking. It is a coastal northern california home so it won't be subject to freezing temperatures but will receive a significant amount of moisture/rain. There are no overhanging trees so it won't fill up with pine needles/leaves. I am curious as to how I might best waterproof that plywood subdeck. It will not have direct foot traffic on it, but it will have the weight and possible minor abrasion of the sleepers and decking on top of it. Thus UV exposure won't be an issue, but it needs to be very long lasting since it won't be easy to get down to repair/recoat it should it begin to leak. Any suggestions/thoughts would be appreciated. thanks. |

Another idea instead of putting sleepers and then 1 x 6 decking over the top of the EPDM sheet would be to lay modular wood decking tiles over the top of the sheet. These are a DIY product and typically come in 12" x 12" interlocking squares. There a few different ones around but one which uses Ipe wood, so would be rather durable I expect is available at www.swiftdeck.com and costs $8-9 per sq.ft. |

What is going on here? Ugh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Petroleum products to produce fertilizer, petroleum products to produce plastic, petroleum products to run the farm equipment, diesel fuel to run the trucks that deliver the products, increased demand throughout the world, bottlenecked supply, no new petroleum refineries in the US for what, 30 years.... And diesel just went over $4 per gallon. Couple that with farmers planting fields with corn for ethanol and you have a second part of the puzzle. Stinks. My grocery bill is rising fast, too. |

Wow. That's a big jump. I wonder if that is directed at customers using them as lawn fertilizer instead of animal feed and they're trying to discourage them to buy them for fertilizer? |
I think it is just the petroleum companies looking to make a better profit for their next quarter. I think I heard one company only posted a $125 billion dollar profit on the last quarter. Gee, that's not enough money to do ANYTHING! I'd need more than that too. NOT........! Therefore, when gas prices go up, the next in line has to pass on the cost of it, to cover their cost, and the next guy has to pay and he passes it on and on and on.......... |

Welcome back woodycrest! Please post new pictures!! I think it is just the petroleum companies looking to make a better profit for their next quarter. I work in the energy business and would like to say that the oil companies do not set the price of oil or gasoline. Oil and gasoline are commodities traded on commodity exchanges around the world? Other commodities include gold, silver, cattle, orange juice, rice, corn, wheat, soy beans, soy bean meal, soy bean oil, milk, sugar, and many (MANY) more. The worldwide price for these commodities does not vary much from country to country. Prices are set by investors, not producers, distributors, owners, etc. When the feedlot price of beef rises to $1.50 per pound, say due to an expected worldwide shortage, the farmer with beef makes "windfall" profits that year. The same thing happens in the oil industry. But during the years when beef sells for $0.75 per pound, the farmer sucks wind. And the same thing happens in the oil industry. The really good news is that the high price of energy has suddenly made it very cost effective to invest in alternative forms of energy. That is what spurred the increased interest in corn and other grains for making ethanol. But interestingly, the sudden high price of corn has made it cost effective to invest in alternative sources of ethanol. Hopefully we can shift to common weeds instead of costly corn for ethanol. I'll bet the grass growing in the medians in Texas could supply all the ethanol needed. |

Yes, but he's jealous of Kurono for getting more points than himOriginally Posted by tetnubis
i've always thought it was strange why tae could be revived... she's not a gantzer...so her data shouldn't even be stored in gantz... if she's stored, then all the other aliens in other missions should be stored and should be able to be revived by gantz...
dunno...just seemed wierd...but i kept quiet..
BEcause she's human, I guess.Originally Posted by diegomatrix
I'm really looking forward to seeing Kurono reunite with her.
Though I feel bad for Reika, she's totally head over heels in love with him.
I am available for professional manga and text translations and audio/video projects. PM or e-mail me for quotes.
I wonder which is going to be the powerful weapon, maybe it varies depending on the person.
Maybe Izumi will get a laser sword or something like that and Kaze (if he takes the powerful weapon) some gloves that hit with electricity or something
I know that Kurono is gonna get a new armor suit. I remember they showed a drawing of Kuruno with a different custom. Well! Tae and Katou is back and probably Kishimoto will be back. I really didnt like that Reika and The Oldman made that choice. I wanted to see them both free. If Reika and the Oldman die, Im sure that Kurono will revive them.
But if Reika had chosen freedom, there's a posibility that she would forget about Kurono, and she don't want to forget him because she loves himOriginally Posted by JDPIMP145
Wouldn't that be preferrable if she can't have him?Originally Posted by dancloud
Where is the pic of Kurono in his suit? I wanna see
Yeah! but she should know that she cant be with Kurono cus of Tae. Is not worth it being in Gantz because she love Kurono.Originally Posted by dancloud
lol!! I have to look for it. It was in one of the previous chapters on the last page. It was a drawing explaning how they make the Gantz Chapters. In one page I saw Kurono with a different suit. Looks more like an armor.Originally Posted by QuixoticMessiah

According to the latest data released, the consumer prices in the country rose 6.89 per cent in the month of March from a year earlier compared to 6.95 per cent recorded in February.
The inflation has remained almost the same in the two months and this could increase make it more difficult for the RBI to consider a reduction in its key lending rates. Economists and industry members want the central bank to cut rates to give a boost to the slowing economic growth.
The high prices of fuel and food have kept the RBI from reducing the rates due to concerns that a reduction in rate could reverse the fall in inflation. The growing furl prices in the international market has resulted in continued pressure on inflation for the country, which is heavily dependent on imports for meetings its fuel requirements.
The inflation in the country started moderating in November after staying above 9 per cent for a year. The inflation had fallen to a 26-month low of 6.55 per cent in January. RBI's deputy governor Subir Gokarn had earlier indicated that RBI's stand on monetary policy will depend on the level of oil prices in the international markets and the domestic economic growth rates.
Experts say that the central bank will announce a reduction in its repo rate even as high oil and food prices continue to put pressure on inflation. The RBI has not changed its key lending rates since its policy review in mid-December. It had increased the rates 13 times since March 2010 in order to control the stubborn inflation in the country. The last cut in the repo rate was in April 2009.

I wouldn't bother. You're looking at fragmentation on a file system which is wrapped up in another file system (which itself may or may not be fragmented). You might get a benefit if you're using RDM, but the fragmentation could cause the SAN controller to look for other parts on a separate disk which could improve performance! Add file caching (guest OS + host OS) to the equation...

You will probably be going wtf when you read it, but I can assure it works :) - We are a guild of mostly "mature" players btw, which means that we focus more on finding like minded people than anything else. We often reject people with good raiding history and the right class+spec simply because we don't feel they fit.
The form doesn't adhere perfectly to your good little guide, but it comes close.

Bitter Wisdom
Hello and welcome! Test
You may be wondering where does the domain name
come from. Or not. But I'll tell you anyway :)
My name - Sonja Marie - like all names have meanings behind it:
SONJA is the German form of SONYA, which in turn is the Russian pet form of SOPHIA, which means "wisdom" (Greek). This was the name of an early, possibly mythical, saint who died of grief after her three daughters were martyred. (resource -
Behind the Name
MARIE is the French form of MARY, and while the meaning of this popular name is not known for certain one of the several theories is "sea of bitterness"(resource -
Behind the Name
). I shortened bitterness to bitter.
But you may be saying Sonja Marie would then mean wisdom bitter, yeah I know, but that didn't sound as good as BITTER WISDOM, so sue me :)
Ok, Sonja, we read it or not, please take us to the Lady Jane Grey Internet Museum

creenwriter Diablo Cody has announced she is producing
Breathers: A Zombie's Lament
- based on a novel by SG Browne - is about Andy, a reanimated car-crash victim, pursuing Rita, a high-maintenance suicide victim.
The story follows Andy as he deals with the perils of adjusting to his new so-called 'life'.
Cody is said to be 'thrilled' with the screenplay by Geoff LaTulippe hoping to go into production ASAP.
"Zombie's are so hot right now," says Cody, sounding suspiciously like a character from one of her scripts, "but I like to think it's about the personal side of being a zombie and being ostracized."

2. Added bomb and magic potion as tools
3. Adjusted game scoring system to make the leaderboard more competitive!!

– Super simple UI and rule: tap or drag a ball (smiley face) to make a line of the same color
– 8 levels with increasing difficulty (Look for the SECRET ball in level 7 and 8!)

COLUMBUS, Ohio
Officials say Ohio's unemployment rate has edged up to 10.9 percent as more people have entered the job market but have been unable to find work.
The February jobless rate released Friday represents a slight increase from January's joblessness of 10.8 percent.
The state rate is more than a full percentage point higher than the national one for February, of 9.7 percent. A year ago, Ohio had unemployment of 9.1 percent.
The state's Department of Job and Family Services says the number of workers unemployed in Ohio in February was 647,000, up from 641,000 in January. The number of people employed outside of farms also increased, by 3,500.
Officials say hiring increased in services while job losses continued in the state's goods-producing industries.

Back in the mid-1960s, Joe Orton, the late, lamented, bad boy British playwright, burned up the theater world with three outrageous farces. ("Outrageous" used in its original, literal sense of inspiring outrage.) "Loot," the current FSU/Asolo Conservatory production of one of his farces, shows us what the outrage is all about. The play is a slaughterhouse for sacred cows. These include dogged detectives, noble nurses, religion in general, Catholicism in particular, sexual repression, the sanctity of the British family and respect for the dead.
The plot? A young lad's bisexual lover works as an undertaker at a funeral home next to a bank. The pair tunnel into the bank, steal a ton of loot and stash it in a wardrobe in the lad's house. Unfortunately, a thuggish detective pokes his nose in, pretending to be from the waterworks to avoid the tedious paperwork of search warrants. Er, fortunately, the lad's mum is dead — the victim of a serial killer nurse. To avoid detection, the lads stuff the money in the coffin, and they put the corpse in the wardrobe. Corpse and money change places repeatedly. A glass eye rolls away. Human rights are abused, and common decency violated. This goes on for a while as Orton dials the outrage up to 11. Ultimately, the guilty are rewarded and the innocent punished.
This truncated summary may sound hilarious, but it doesn't really say why it's so hilarious on stage. Orton, for want of a better term, plays it straight. (His material reminds me of that Monty Python undertaker sketch where the bereaved son is informed they can bury, burn or dump his mother — and nobody ever cracks a smile.)
Director Jonathan Epstein plays it straight, too. No winking, mugging, elbows to the ribs or giggles. He offers us an absurd, amoral, bizarro-world universe where black is white, good is bad and up is down — and nobody seems to notice. (Except for the one innocent person who gets what's coming to him.) Nobody in this comedy knows they're in a comedy, and that's why the comedy works. Bravo.
Epstein's comic timing is equally sharp — a clockwork outrage, if you will. The reactions, pauses, double-takes and slow burns are all perfect. Kudos also for movement coach Eliza Ladd and fight choreographer Brian Nemiroff for the flow of bodies in space. The detective slaps the lad around; up goes the corpse; down goes the corpse; hello, here come the handcuffs. This staging is as much a dance as a performance.
This all takes place in the confined environment of a single set: the deliberately tatty, ratty, working class, East End home of the McLeavy family. Think creating a depressing, dingy set is a thankless task, eh? If the set designer does an excellent job, they inspire "ecchs" as opposed to "ooohs" and "ahhs." That said, Chris McVicker did an excellent job.
As to the second-year conservatory student actors, they all seem to be having the time of their lives.
Jory Murphy and Matthew Anderson make a nice comic duo portraying Hal, the rotten-but-honest son and Dennis, the oversexed undertaker, respectively. These are not bright boys. "Stupid is funny," as a wise comedian once said.
Brian Owen puts in an inspired comic performance as Truscott of the Yard. Essentially, he's a self-satisfied, self-righteous rotter: a man with no morals whatsoever, who's bloatedly moralistic about it. On top of that, he's a bloviating parody of Sherlock Holmes, complete with deerstalker, pipe and magnifying glass. Truscott starts off with a series of dazzling deductions, but he fails to notice the corpse in the room. It's a brilliantly written character — and the comic mainspring of the play. Owen brings him to life.
Paul Herbig is fine as Meadows, Truscott's robotic bobby sidekick, mangling the English language or suspects as the need arises. Michael Frishman channels the father's increasingly tattered presence. Mr. McLeavy ceaselessly suffers — the play's designated victim. Orton sets you up to laugh at him. The gag is deliberately uncomfortable; Frishman doesn't shy away from it.
Nurse Fay (Olivia Williamson) cloaks herself in heaven's righteousness, as opposed to that of the state. She marries and murders for money. Poor suffering Mr. McLeavy is the next disposable hubby on her list, which is why she just dispatched Mrs. McLeavy. She alternates between sexy, sweet and saintly, never noticing that her walk doesn't match her talk.
Speaking of talk, Orton's play is stuffed with savagely funny dialogue. Here's a sample: "Reading isn't an occupation we encourage among police officers. We try to keep the paperwork down to a minimum."
"The process by which the police arrive at the solution to a mystery is, in itself, a mystery."
"Bury her naked? My own mum? It's a Freudian nightmare."
"The Ten Commandments. She was a great believer in some of them."
Bad people say nice things and it's funny. Hypocrisy is the fuel of farce, after all. Orton didn't discover that fact. His genius was unplugging the machinery of moral punishment. Tartuffe isn't always punished in real life, after all. Real-life hypocrites are frequently rewarded. Crime often pays.
As Orton once said, "I suppose I'm a believer in original sin. People are profoundly bad, but irresistibly funny."
The original joke is still on us.
"Loot" runs through Jan. 19, at the FSU Center for the Performing Arts, 5555 N. Tamiami Trail, Sarasota. Call 351-8000 or visit asolorep.org/conservatory for more information.

Israeli 'Hal' Eyes Turing Test
But while other children are flesh and blood, Hal is actually a chain of algorithms -- a computer program that is being raised as a child and taught to speak through experiential learning, the same way human children learn.
"He is a curious, very clever child, someone that always wants to know more," said neuro-linguist Dr. Anat Treister-Goren, who is Hal's "mommy" and readily admits her attachment to her virtual child.
"Some kids are more predictable than others. He would be the surprising type," she said.
Treister-Goren talks to Hal and reads him stories in much the same way a mother teaches her young child to learn about colors, food and animals.
"I build his world on a daily basis," explained Treister-Goren.
She heads the training department at the Israeli-based Artificial Intelligence (AI), where she inputs information and language ability through conversations with Hal and works with computer experts who fine-tune his algorithms to enhance his performance.
The privately owned company, run by Israeli tech entrepreneur Jack Dunietz, aims over the next 10 years to develop Hal into an "adult" computer program that can do what no program has ever done before -- pass the Turing test.
The father of artificial intelligence, British mathematician Alan Turing was also one of the founders of computer science. More than 50 years ago he predicted the advent of "thinking machines."
But in Turing's time, computers were slow and cumbersome devices, utterly incapable of fulfilling his vision.
Turing, who died in 1954, left behind the benchmark test for computer intelligence: A human interrogator questions two entities via computer terminal; one entity is also human, while the other is the smart computer. If the computer aces the test, it fools the interrogator into thinking it is human. No computer program has done this -- yet.
If -- or when -- a computer passes the Turing Test, it will open a Pandora's box of ethical and philosophical questions. After all, if a computer is perceived to be as intelligent as a person, what is the difference between a smart computer and a human being?
Today's chatbots -- computer chat programs that have personas and names -- are incapable of dealing with changes in context or abstract ideas, and succeed only at momentarily tricking people by regurgitating pre-programmed answers.
But Hal has fooled child language experts into thinking he is a toddler with an understanding of about 200 total words, composing short, infantile sentences using a limited 50-word vocabulary.
"Ball now park mommy," Hal tells Treister-Goren, then asks her to pack bananas for a trip to the park, adding that "monkeys like bananas," a detail he picked up from a story on animals in a safari park.
The idea is to educate Hal gradually, the way a child learns, through trial-and-error and rewards when he performs well.
When Hal was "born," he was hardwired with nothing more than the letters of the alphabet and a preference for the rewards received for a positive outcome, over the punishments meted out for a negative one.
The pre-programmed preference for rewards makes Hal strive for a correct response. Treister-Goren corrects Hal's mistakes in her typewritten conversations with him, an action Hal is programmed to recognize as a punishment, which he avoids repeating.

Yoga studio celebrates anniversary with free classesJan. 17, 2014 |
By Carley Dangona
email@example.com WEST SPRINGFIELD – Looking to get limber this new year? Come, strike a pose and see if yoga could be your method of choice. Karoun Yoga, 235 Memorial Ave., will celebrate its one-year anniversary with free yoga classes, followed by a beer sampling on Jan. 23 from 4 to 9:30 p.m. The event will also feature free yoga fitness consultations and deejays from The Hush Collective. "We offer classes for all abilities – we're not catering to a specific population. People of all ages, shapes and sizes are welcome. We have a diverse clientele and tons of beginners," owner Karoun Charkoudian said. She recommended that beginners take the Level 1 or 2 classes. Charkoudian explained that these Iyengar-style inspired classes focus on alignment and utilize props for body support The classes move more slowly than the Vinyasa-style classes and focus on achieving the correct position. Poses range from standing to seated to lying down on the floor. She suggested that students dress in layers to ensure do not become too hot or too cold. Charkoudian has taught yoga for the past five years and has studied it for 10. "I was in a really vulnerable time in my life when I began my practice. I felt a lot more grounded and at peace in yoga classes," she said. "I noticed that things in life became easier such as tying my shoes or picking up the soap if I dropped it. I was a better person [in all aspects] of my life." The studio shares her name because it means "springtime" and Charkoudian offers yoga as a way to people to renew and center themselves despite their busy schedules. "We have a welcoming front desk staff that shows you where to go and how to set up," Charkoudian added. "The purpose of this studio is to wake people up in their lives and provide them with more passion and vitality." She cited the goal of classes to help people "lead a more heart-centered life," rather than becoming mere cogs in the wheel, adhering to the same routine day after day.

POSTED: Thursday, May 6, 2010 - 4:36pm
UPDATED: Tuesday, June 8, 2010 - 12:42pm
EL PASO, TX - A growing trend in the city has teens smoking out of water pipes, and what they smoke can include what's considered a "legal marijuana."
A hookah is a water pipe for tobacco that more teens are starting to use.
"They're discovering it here in El Paso, it's getting more popular, but I don't think it's geared strictly towards kids," Brad Maynard said.
Maynard is the owner of Kern Place Cigars. He sells hookahs and the sheesha, the flavored tobacco that's smoked. It comes in everything from Grape to Watermelon and other flavors that teens like.
"It's kind of funny because you'll ask them 'Can I see your ID please,' and they'll say 'Oh I left it in the car,' then you'll never see them again," Maynard said.
Maynard told us parents should be concerned about their kids smoking hookah, because it's not much different from cigarettes.
"If you get into smoking a couple of bowls every night it will eventually cause you problems just like cigarettes will."
Another concern parents may have is that marijuana can be smoked out of a hookah. Maynard says it can, but that's not what a hookah's made for.
"On the other hand if they're smoking pot they're going to smoke it anyway. I don't think hookah leads to smoking pot or anything else, but I'd still have a concern," he said.
There's another product to watch out for, it's called salvia and it is considered a "legal marijuana." Maynard refuses to sell it.
"I think there has been a couple of people who have died from salvia, it's a rare occurrence but I think it has happened. I don't really want to sell something I think is going to really cause some serious harm to one of my customers."

Banana Joe Wins at the Westminster Dog Show
Banana Joe is a painfully cute black affenpinscher, a Dutch breed known for perfectly engineered fluffiness. He's been compared to an Ewok, a teddy bear and is being called a "monkey dog." At five-years-old, Joe is a veteran of shows like this, and his win at the Westminster Dog Show is his 86th (!) time achieving a Best in Show title.

Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen run a successful fashion line, the Row, but turns out they've been wearing designer clothes for as long as they can remember.
As child stars on "Full House," their wardrobe was composed of adult designer pieces, including from Chanel and Marc Jacobs, cut to fit children.
"We were designing clothes for ourselves as we were so petite," Mary-Kate told The Edit magazine. "So I think that is when we became obsessed with fit, and now the obsession has become a profession."
Mary-Kate Olsen Spotted Smoking With Olivier Sarkozy and His Daughter
According to Ashley, fashion played an integral role in their early lives, as wardrobe fittings were time-consuming.
"We'd be in six-hour fittings three times a week," she said. "We had to wear 12 different outfits!"

However, the 27-year-olds are now happily living life away from the cameras — and out of the paparazzi glare, when possible.
"There is a threshold in New York, and once you pass that and are considered a New Yorker, they leave you alone," Ashley said. "But we're at the office every day, then home or out for dinner, so there aren't the opportunities for them to take pictures. For the most part you try and avoid it. … [I do], at least."

We know it's dangerous for journalists in Iraq, but this report is chilling. Aside from murders, beatings and intimidation, Iraqi journalists now face laws criminalising speech that ridicules the government or its officials. These laws - "some resurrected verbatim from Saddam Hussein's penal code" - are threatening the country's fragile grip on press freedom. Several journalists are serving time for doing their job. The office of prime minister Nuri Kamal al-Maliki is now refusing to speak to news organisations that report on sectarian violence in ways that his government considers inflammatory. Some outlets have been shut down. I seem to recall we giving Iraq democracy. (Via New York Times)

The new study looked at a broader class of chemicals to identify molecular-level features that make them more or less efficient at trapping radiation in the atmospheric window. The study employed results from atomic-scale quantum chemistry calculations done on computers from NASA and Information Technology at Purdue (ITaP), Purdue's central information technology organization.
"We specifically looked at molecules that we felt would have potential for industrial use as replacements for chlorofluorocarbons," says Francisco, whose research focuses on the chemistry of molecules in the atmosphere.
Among other things, the study looked at how the number and placement of electronegative atoms in a molecule's structure affects its radiative efficiency. The number and placement of fluorine atoms proved to be a key factor because they're very electronegative and form highly polar bonds with carbon and sulfur.
Fluorine atoms thus tend to change the bond-polarity of the molecules -- modifying the bonds holding the atoms in the structure. This, in turn, affects how a molecule will absorb infrared radiation that normally passes through Earth's atmosphere and into space.
"The polarity change is what makes for an efficient absorber of infrared radiation," says Lee, chief of the Space Science and Astrobiology Division at NASA Ames Research Center.
One message from the study: Avoid allowing fluorines to bunch up in a molecular structure. "In other words, don't put them all on one atom," Francisco says. "Spread them out."
The fluorinated compounds also persist longer in the atmosphere than carbon dioxide and other major global warming agents, Lee and Francisco note. Even if emitted in lower quantities, fluorine-containing chemicals might have a powerful cumulative effect. Some don't break down for thousands of ye

Hi Joe,
Just checking. I want to get it right this time. My bees are still using sugar water and storing only a little honey. To prepare for the winter, I'm thinking about asking George to build some of the sugar feeders. As I understand it, they are just a 2" space in the bottom of the hive where I can put granulated sugar, enough to support them over winter. Do you think this is a good idea?
Hello Joe,
Thank you so much for presence, assistance, and knowledge with my hive last week! I greatly appreciate it!
Never mind my last comment, looks like it will be a trapout that can be pushed to the spring, but I still would like to hear your opinion on winter removal survival!

All lanterns that utilize sheet glass are glazed with Basic Pane Glass. Blown Seeded Glass, Rippled Glass and Opalized Glass may be substituted for an additional charge. All hanging lanterns come with two feet chain and wire standard and all mounting hardware included.
