I doubled this and made it for a large party. I left out the corn syrup and it was awesome. A double batch filled up my old school ice cream maker.
I used Fat Free Half & Half, substituted the heavy whipping cream for Vanilla Almond Milk and did not put in the corn syrup for a low calorie Raspberry Ice cream... It is good! It's 166 calories...
I cut down the sugar to 1 1/8 cup and didn't include the corn syrup, and it ended up being wonderful for my mochi, it also had a beautiful color. I think that adding the amount of sugar and corn...

Heroes of the West Beta (V5) - EASY INSTALLERMar 1, 2015 Heroes of the West Full Version 4 comments
Here's the simple installation version of our latest update.
Focusing on the Battle of Stalingrad and surrounding operations, Heroes of Stalingrad allows the player to experience one of the most brutal battles in all of human history. For the first time ever in a first person shooter gamers will be able to experience WWII from the Axis side in a German single player campaign. As always with the Red Orchestra franchise, Tripwire will aim to deliver unrivalled accuracy and attention to detail, along with gritty, vicious combat in multi-player, co-op and solo modes.
About Heroes of the West with 2 comments by Moskeeto on Oct 4th, 2014
We have just released Alpha 2!
It is both client and server ready, so set up a server and play with others!
This release includes a new custom map which is a remake of an old DoD favorite: Donner! This custom map isn't an original map for our mod. It was actually made for RO2, but with the permission of the map maker, we have adapted it into our mod so we can have something for the community to play on while we get original maps created.
You can download Alpha 2 here on ModDB!
Here's the simple installation version of our latest update.
Big update this one. A lot of new map related content.
This is a much simpler way to install the mod. Just run the .exe and have install the files in the correct directories.
Here's the latest version of the mod with lots of bug fixes, new features, and smoother gameplay.
This is Alpha 3. Not too many changes from Alpha 2. Just a couple of changes pertaining to roles on the new map.
This is Alpha 2 of our mod. Just unzip the file and then copy-paste ROGame into: C:\Users\username\Documents\My Games\RedOrchestra2
Over the weekend there have been on average 7000+ players playing. Hopefully this number will stay as high in the coming weeks.
The upcoming expansion/mod Rising Storm and the mod I'm working on In Country Vietnam will hopefully bring in more.
Yeah, the added easy modes attracted lots of new players. It's sad that this had to be done, the population was at a nice ~6000 daily before BF3 came out. 6000 team players who appreciated its hardcore nature.
I'm wondered..
People still play this? Or only the deceived RO1 fans who was "happy" to get so "good" seequel?
Even old, non realistic posed BF1942 have much more assets (what to say here, if even just а mod FH2 is about to have everything from RO2 x10 times and upcoming Eastern Front update)
Look at Iron Front: Liberation 1944 it is how was RO2 in my mind, but I was mistaken...
If you want to know what deceiving means, look at BF3 and OFP:RR .
And didn't even bother with TCGR:FS .
You mean those overpriced DLC's?
Can't find anything else...
Calling the game a true sequel to BF2 and continuation of the core PC franchise when it is in fact a sequel to BF: BC2, just with different game characters.
BTW, we are on the Mod DB website *hint hint*
iron front , realease with no dedicated server, and with more bugs
then... something with lots of bugs. And right now the game is so dead, that the only server on is a russian server with no anti-hack service. And even then they are trying to sell a DLC with less then 10 new models for 10 dollers. And when they said "powered with the arma2 engine" they meant we copy pasted EVERYTHING.
That game made me sick
For now it is fine, but no players...
Same to the new Rising Storm DLC
Not really a fan of Arma 2, just that was an example/concept
RO2 just too limited to close quarters combat with lack of many elements of battle.
There are plenty of long range engagement maps for RO2 out there, both official and community-made...
But yeah, more than a year later there is not enough non-map content...
From the looks of Game-Tracker, TONS of people play it.
CoD have even more players and so..?
Highest Rated (4 agree) 10/10
A wonderful game. Best gunplay in this type of FPS game ever, great realism just..great everything and first time i see a WW2 game with no f*cking americans and their battles all the god damn time. Tripwire finally did something that no other company dared or didnt wanna do, the battle between russia and germany with the ability to play as both side and actually bring something with an experience that makes big titles like battlefield and call of duty look like games with toy guns for mic whining kids.

It's not easy being green. Adam Lambert, who showed off glossy mint green locks earlier this week, has already grown bored with that hue. He is now rocking platinum strands.

Jennifer Lopez hasn't announced a release date or a title for her next album, but the diva did reveal who else besides her 'I Luh Ya Papi' co-star French Montana features on the album. The guests are A-list, because of course they are.
Ellie Goulding has a unique, almost ethereal voice that isn't easily duplicated, but this vintage 1960's girl group Postmodern Jukebox not only cover Ellie, they make her song Burn thier own!
Pop sensations Ariana Grande and Harry Styles have crossed paths!
Jennifer Lopez is normally a composed, in control diva, but even she makes a big verbal mistake and lets an 'F' bomb drop every now again. Only this time, the singer, actress, fashion designer, producer and reality show star did it on live TV during Wednesday's (March 26) episode of 'American Idol.'
Jennifer Lopez recruited 'American Idol' alums Pia Toscano and Jessica Sanchez, among others, to sit on a stoop and sing with her on a stage recreation of the Bronx before she performed her new song 'I Luh Ya Papi' on 'Idol' last night (March 20).
Former 'American Idol' and 'Smash' star Katharine McPhee grabbed headlines last fall when she was seen making out in public with 'Smash' director Michael Morris. Both McPhee and Morris were married to other people at the time. What's the latest?

Jessica Simpson is so proud to be a mom and showing off her beyond adorable kids -- 21-month-old Maxwell Drew and 8-month-old Ace Knute -- every chance she gets. Last night, Feb. 20, Simpson and Ace perfected the classic Instagram art: the selfie.
'American Idol' has its first openly gay contestant, and it is M.K. Nobilette, who revealed her sexual orientation to the judges before they advanced her to the Top 30.
Looks like Simon Cowell finally has a reason to smile.

Arizona Diamondbacks
Arizona Diamondbacks prospect Braden Shipley named to 2014 All-Star Futures Game roster
Braden Shipley has come a long way since being selected by the Arizona Diamondbacks with the 15th overall pick in the 2013 MLB Amateur Draft.
Over the course of nearly two minor league seasons, the right-handed pitcher has gone 5-6 with a 3.97 ERA and quickly developed into one of the organization's top prospects.
This season, over 12 starts with Single-A South Bend and High-A Visalia, Shipley is 5-3 with a 3.41 ERA. He's allowed 67 hits and 21 walks in 71.1 innings of work, while striking out 75.
Because of his efforts, Shipley has been named to the U.S. roster for the 2014 SiriusXM All-Star Futures Game.
The game, which is in its 16th year, features some of baseball's top prospects. It will be played on July 13th at Target Field, the site of this year's MLB All-Star Game.

Montana Congressional candidate takes first step in NRCC's 'Young Guns' program
WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, the National Republican Congressional Committee announced that Ryan Zinke has been elevated to 'On the Radar' in the NRCC's 'Young Guns' program. The program will help to provide candidates and their campaigns the tools they need to run effective, successful and winning campaigns against their Democratic opponents. Originally founded in the 2007-2008 election cycle by Majority Leader Rep. Eric Cantor (R-VA), Majority Whip Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) and Budget Chairman Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI), the Young Guns program supports and mentors challenger and open-seat candidates in races across the country. Zinke is running in the Congressional District of Montana.
"I am confident that Ryan Zinke will be a successful and dedicated member of this program and that he will continue to work hard to reach the crucial campaign benchmarks that have been established ahead of the 2014 elections," said NRCC Chairman Greg Walden. "Ryan's conservative principles and priorities provide a stark contrast to Barack Obama's irresponsible agenda. Montana's hardworking families deserve better than skyrocketing health care costs, financial instability and mountains of debt on their backs. I am certain that Ryan Zinke will be a strong contender this election cycle."
Ryan Zinke is a third generation Montanan with deep family roots across the state. After graduating from Whitefish High School, he attended the University of Oregon where he earned a Bachelor's degree in Geology. Ryan's military career began in 1985 when he graduated from Officer Candidate School and attended SEAL training (class 136). He was then assigned to SEAL Team ONE in Coronado, CA where he led counter-insurgency and contingency operations in the Persian Gulf and the Pacific theater of operations. He was awarded two Bronze Stars for his service.
In 2008, Ryan was elected to a single term in the Montana State Senate and served in the 2009 and 2011 legislative sessions. Currently, Ryan is a CEO for a consulting firm that advances technology in the industries of aerospace, oil and gas, and national security.

The movie was filmed around St. Petersburg, Tampa and Sarasota, Florida and featured a few of the area's hotels, including the Coral Reef Motel in St. Pete Beach. The building and pool where they filmed the movie's big party scene is no longer in use but you can stay at the new and improved Coral Reef Resort next door.
No spring break would be complete without a little debauchery and in the movie it was found at Hollywood Nites, a strip club located at 3003 N. Howard Ave in Tampa.
If strip clubs are a little too wild for you, check out Behind the Undertow Beach Bar in St. Pete Beach. In the movie it is where we get our first glimpse of Alien, in real life responsible drinkers can get a free ride to the bar courtesy of the Undertow Van and then soak up some of that alcohol with a burger from Smiley's, their "sister snack shack".
There is one location in the movie you'll definitely want to steer clear of; that's the Gulfport Police Department, where the spring break girl are detained after being busted at a hotel party and where they first meet Alien.

To best apply limited resources to maximize defense success, carefully select your turf
As a security professional, I research the latest issues, threats and hacking techniques. For pleasure, however, I read mostly military history, which shapes my view of information security. As a result, I offer the following lessons from military history for federal agency information technology security professionals.
Most security professionals attempt to implement programs to defend all access points because intruders need to find only one way in. But because agency resources are finite, boundaries typically exceed resources. To best apply limited resources to maximize defense success, carefully select your turf.
Risk management approaches to security must move beyond identifying and defending the most important assets
to include an analysis of a network's strategic points where intruders could attack.
Here are some IT security lessons from military history.
The Battle of Midway in June 1942 was arguably the turning point of World War II in the Pacific rim. The victory hinged partly on U.S. code crackers' breaking JN25 naval cipher to learn that the Japanese planned to attack Midway. Adm. Chester Nimitz, commander of the U.S. Pacific fleet, sent two carrier task forces to Midway to ambush the Japanese Navy.
A second lesson is the hubris of assuming that enemies cannot break ciphers and codes.
Security professionals have many means of defense at their disposal. Through network mapping, they can determine the landscape of their networks. Knowing how many systems are locked down and adequately patched, they can assess their readiness. Using intrusion-detection systems, they can know the types of probes the enemy has attempted.
But some organizations don't use or act on the intelligence they have. Many turn off their auditing systems, fail to review the logs or ignore alarms. A military parallel is Pearl Harbor, the attack in which the United States ignored radar detecting the incoming Japanese planes.
The network perimeter has disappeared as ubiquitous computing and extranet access have surged. The model of hardened perimeters and wide-open interiors is no longer adequate.
During the 1879 defense of Rorke's Drift in South Africa, about 150 British soldiers held off 4,000 Zulus by defending the inherently indefensible. They created makeshift barricades from grain sacks and biscuit boxes to secure the perimeter. They had fallback positions and used them.
Security professionals can learn from this example. A network is not defensible if attackers breach the perimeter and the rest of the network is wide open.
Today, administrators segment networks with interior firewalls. Tomorrow, networks may be able to create dynamic barriers in response to worm and virus invasions.
Admirals and generals set strategies, but individuals who make tactical decisions and take the initiative win battles. Every federal agency employee has a responsibility to make IT security a priority.

The operation was apparently intended to terrify the residents into leaving voluntarily, but instead it steeled their resolve.
Huntsman is a long shot, and his daughters are steeled for whatever the outcome.
I steeled myself, expecting that she would need comfort and reassurance.
Old English style, from West Germanic adjective *stakhlijan "made of steel" (cf. Old Saxon stehli, Old Norse, Middle Low German stal, Danish staal, Swedish stål, Middle Dutch stael, Dutch staal, Old High German stahal, German Stahl), related to *stakhla "standing fast," from PIE *stek-lo-, from root *stak- "to stand, place, be firm" (see stay (n.1)). No corresponding word exists outside Germanic except those likely borrowed from Germanic languages. Steel wool is attested from 1896.
"make hard or strong like steel," 1580s, figurative, from steel (n.). Related: Steeled; steeling.
The "bow of steel" in (A.V.) 2 Sam. 22:35; Job 20:24; Ps. 18:34 is in the Revised Version "bow of brass" (Heb. kesheth-nehushah). In Jer. 15:12 the same word is used, and is also rendered in the Revised Version "brass." But more correctly it is copper (q.v.), as brass in the ordinary sense of the word (an alloy of copper and zinc) was not known to the ancients.

Most of the prices average in the $260 per room range, though there are some hotel discounting web sites that I have found room prices in the $104 range for double queen rooms, their web site features occasional specials as well offering prices down into the $150 per night range for a single king bed room. I went to several web special sites, but was unable to find a price less than the $169 price listed on their web site for the night I needed, so I just booked directly.
If you have some flexibility, be sure to check their web site for the entire week, as the internet specials could result in quite a discount for you.
The hotel does offer a complimentary shuttle service to locations in downtown Tacoma, but I came and departed by bus. The complimentary shuttle operates on demand, so you have to make arrangements beforehand. Also, the shuttle is only available from 8 am to 8 pm.
There are no bad rooms in the hotel, but the closer you are to Ruston Way the more noise you get from both the railroad and the road. However, I found the sound proofing to be good enough that noise from neither was a problem. In fact, I actually slept with my window open. There is a railroad crossing nearby, but the crossing has been improved to the point where the trains are not required to sound their horns. One train did blow the horn, but it was during the day and it was because there was some guy wandering around on the tracks.
Parking at the hotel is free of charge, and there does seem to be some problems sometimes because some of the parking places are located under the hotel, and are not accessible by larger vehicles, and there seems to be an overabundance of larger vehicles at times.
The hotel has accesss to a dock, though it is quite small, and the walkway there has a picnic table and a few benches that overlook the water. You will find that from time to time there are people that throw crab traps and otherwise fish off the dock here, but keep in mind that the water is dangerous enough that certain fish should not be eaten that come out of this water.
The hotel has wireless internet available free of charge, and each room also comes with a wired network receptacle. I was able to get reception in my room (318), but only briefly and slowly. The reception and speed in the main lobby is much better. I really should have brought a network cable, as it would have worked out quite a bit better.
There are views of the Olympic mountains from the rooms on the northwest side of the hotel, and that included room 318 as well. There was also a light on the walkway down below that reflected off the water and made a relaxing pattern on the ceiling of the room.
The breakfast is in the main lobby, which is nicely furnished. However, the breakfast is a bit limited in the scope of what is available due to the size of the counter tops for putting food out. There was a waffle maker, apple and orange juice, eggs, sausage, and several different types of bread, and a toaster to put them in. Bananas and apples were also available. So, it wasn't a huge selection, but it was a decent start to the day.
I'm not fond of the artwork in the hotel, though. It is fairly common standard fare hotel mass produced art prints. As many galleries and artists as there are in Tacoma, it seems like something more local could have been found.
About my only two complaints with the hotel:
+ There is no walkway connecting the hotel with the really nice Ruston Way Walkway, which connects the hotel with restaurants and parks on either side. This means walking through the narrow auto traffic lanes if you are going to or from the walkway and the hotel. While the driveway isn't hugely busy, it is a bit of a hazard, especially after dark.
+ The wireless network strength in the room wasn't very strong, though that would have easily been overcome had I thought to bring a network cable. I'm still new at this whole traveling with a computer thing.
Unique Quality: Located on the waterfront directly above commencement bay, the hotel offers views in just about every direction. It is located near "Old Town", which is one of the better parts of Tacoma, and is a rather odd little neighborhood that used to be Tacoma's main downtown commercial center, and has a number of small shops in it. The hotel is also located right on the Ruston Way Walkway, which is a linear park walkway along the waterfront beside Ruston Way.
While Ruston Way is a busy street, it isn't as busy as many of the streets elsewhere in or near Tacoma, and there is considerable opportunity to escape traffic due to most (maybe all?) the hotel rooms facing either the side or directly out to the water.
While not within most people's walking distance, the hotel is reasonably close to both Point Defiance Park and the Museum of Glass, which are Tacoma's two biggest tourist draws.
Rooms come in the following types:
+ Single King Bed
+ Single King Bed with Electric Fireplace and a number of luxury features
+ King Bed with Jacuzzi and even more luxury features
+ Double Queen Bed
+ Suite
+ Deluxe Suite
Among the many features, there is internet service, breakfast, a pier should you arrive by boat, and various other services that are fairly standard practice in hotels in this price range.
The hotel is 100% non-smoking and no pets are allowed.
Directions: Interstate 5 to Interstate 705 to Ruston Way. Hotel is on Water Side of the Road. Bus route 13 is within two blocks.

Canada's Insurance and Risk Magazine
Toyota Canada has issued a recall for nearly 15,000 vehicles in the country, as part of a larger recall by the corporation of about 2.77 million vehicles globally, for problems related to steering and water pumps. The problem is related to the steering intermediate extension shaft on certain Prius models, the company's hybrid vehicle model. Only Prius models are affected in Canada, while other models, including the Corolla, are also affected worldwide.
About 8,740 of the same Prius vehicles in Canada are also being recalled to replace the electric water pump for the hybrid system. The pump, which provides cooling to the hybrid system, could possibly stop functioning, which would illuminate the warning light on the vehicle. "In limited instances, the electric power supply circuit fuse may open, causing the hybrid system to stop while the vehicle is being driven," Toyota noted. Toyota dealerships will inspect the extension shaft and water pumps and replace them if need be, the company said. No collisions or injuries resulting from the recall issues have been reported, according to the automaker. This is the second major recall for the company in just over a month. In early October, Toyota recalled 240,000 vehicles in Canada, out of about 7.4 million globally, for a power window switch problem.

Method of preparing colored roofing granules (18) from granulated mineral-containing matter having an elemental iron content of about 15% to about 70% is disclosed. The method comprises heating the granules (18) to a temperature of from about 450° C. to about 1,000° C. and maintaining the temperature for a period of time sufficient to effect a color change in the granules. The resulting oxidized granules are permanently colored and will not fade in use.
1. A method of preparing colored roofing granules from granulated mineral-containing matter comprising slag having an iron content of about 15% to about 70% by weight and being sized so that approximately 100% of said granulated matter will pass through a number 8 U.S. Standard Sieve and no more than approximately 2% will pass through a number 40 U.S. Standard Sieve, said method comprising the steps of:
heating said granules to a temperature of from about 450° C. to about 1000° C.; and
maintaining said temperature for a period of time sufficient to cause oxidation of said iron to effect a color change in said granules and thereby form said colored roofing granules.
2. The method of claim 1, wherein said slag includes copper slag.
3. The method of claim 1, wherein oxygen is added during said heating step.
4. The method of claim 1, wherein water vapor is added during said heating step.
This is a continuation of application Ser. No. 07/722,310 filed on Jun. 27, 1991, now abandoned.
1. Field of the Invention
The present invention is broadly concerned with an improved method of preparing roofing granules which effects a permanent color change that resists fading. More particularly, it is concerned with a method in which roofing granules are prepared from granulated mineral-containing matter having an iron content of about 15% to about 70% by weight to yield buff, brown or reddish-brown color. The granules are heated to a temperature of from about 450° C. to about 1,000° C. for a period of time sufficient to effect a color change.
2. Description of the Prior Art
Roofing granules are commonly used as a surface coating for composition substrate roofing materials. In conventional methods, pigments are applied in order to achieve popular color shades. Typically, the granules are coated with pigments in inorganic binders in the presence of clay or other fillers and reactants.
Once applied as a surface coating to composition roofing material and installed on a roof, such colored granules may have a tendency to fade. After exposure to the elements over a period of time, the extent of such fading may be of sufficient magnitude to preclude aesthetically satisfactory patching of the roof with new materials.
The method of the present invention utilizes the chemical composition of the granules to produce a permanent color change through heat treatment without the use of artificial dyes or pigments.
The present invention provides a greatly improved method for permanently coloring roofing granules. Use of the method of the invention provides an extremely simplified process which economically colors roofing granules in the shades of brown and reddish-brown described earlier. Fading of the granules is virtually eliminated, thus enhancing their utility as a surface coating for composition and other types of roofing material.
The method in accordance with the present invention involves heating granules of mineral-containing matter having a satisfactory iron content to a predetermined temperature and maintaining the temperature for a period of time sufficient to effect a color change. Addition of oxygen or water vapor during the heating step has been found to be particularly useful in producing additional color shades.
The preferred granulated mineral-containing matter contains an initial iron content (prior to oxidation) of from about 15% to about 70% by weight. Most preferably, the source is copper slag, which may be economically obtained from copper smelting and which has an iron content of approximately 30% to 35% by weight.
The granules are heated to a temperature of from about 450° C. to 1,000° C. and are maintained at the elevated temperature for a period of time sufficient to oxidize the iron and thus to effect a color change in the granules. The time will vary from about 2 to about 60 minutes. The heating may be in an unaltered atmosphere or one which is oxygen enriched, or enriched with water vapor or steam, or a combination of the foregoing, depending on the granule color desired.
Where the desired product is roofing granules to be sold as a commodity, they are cooled and packaged. Alternatively, the granules may be applied directly after the coloring treatment (with or without cooling) to a composition roofing material substrate as a surface coating.
FIG. 1 is an elevational view of a shingle making use of roofing granules described in the invention, as a surface coating.
Referring now to the drawing, a representative composition roofing material in accordance with the present invention is illustrated in FIG. 1. Shingle (10) includes lap area (12), tab area (14), and notch (16). The shingle may be made from any one of various known materials including bituminous substances and manmade formulations, all to be generally referred to as composition roofing material. The surface of tab area (14) is coated with granules (18). When tab area (14) is coated with granules (18) prepared in accordance with the method of the present invention, the finished roof presents a permanently colored, fade-proof granular surface.
In accordance with a preferred procedure, mineral-containing matter with an iron content of about 15% to about 70% is used for preparing the base granules. The iron content is preferably uniformly distributed throughout the mineral-containing matter in order to impart uniform coloration to the finished, heat-treated granules. Depending upon the iron content of the base granules, and the exact coloring procedure followed, the color of the product granules may vary from buff to reddish-brown.
The base granules may be obtained from copper or other mineral slags such as boiler slag, nickel slag, as well as rock granules, or any other suitable matter. Granules obtained from copper slag are particularly preferred. The starting material is crushed to present small, uniform granules which are preferably small enough for 100% to pass through a number 8 U.S. Standard Sieve, and for no more than 2% (of the original sample) to pass through a number 40 U.S. Standard Sieve. Those skilled in the art will appreciate that other suitable particle sizes which may be useful for other roofing applications may be used.
The granules are heated in a furnace such as a rotary kiln, fluidized bed kiln, or stationary muffle furnace to a temperature of about 400° C. to about 1,000° C. For commercial applications a countercurrent rotating open flame kiln with a continuous feed mechanism is preferred. However, any suitable furnace may be used. The granules are maintained at the elevated temperature for a period of time sufficient to oxidize the iron and effect a color change in the granules, preferably from about 2 to about 60 minutes. However, those skilled in the art will appreciate that longer dwell times may also be used.
Oxidation of the iron in the granules may be in an unenriched or oxygen-enriched atmosphere. The iron or lower oxides of iron are converted to ferric oxide (Fe2 O3) by a chemical reaction represented by the following equation:
6FeO+4Fe3 O4 +2O2 →2Fe3 O4 +6Fe2 O3
The resulting granules are of a generally brownish color. The particular hue of brown within a broad spectrum is determined by the dwell time and the temperature.
Where the granules are heated in an atmosphere enriched with water vapor or steam, the iron and iron compounds are converted to a mixture of ferric oxide (Fe2 O3) and hydrated iron oxides (Fe2 O3 •nH2 O) by a chemical reaction represented by the equation:
Fe2 O3 +H2 O→Fe2 O3 •H2 O
in which ferric oxide is oxidized to a lepidocrocite compound which is blood red in color, or to a Goethite compound which is brown, reddish, or yellowish in color, or to a combination of the two.
Alternatively, the ferric oxide may be hydrated to a limonite compound which is brown, or brownish black in color, or to hydrohematite, which is probably an intimate mixture of Goethite and Hematite and which is red in color. The chemical reaction is represented by the equation:
Fe2 O3 +nH2 O→Fe2 O3 •nH2 O
It is to be understood that the foregoing expressed reactions are likely to be an oversimplification of the actual chemistry involved in the process of the invention. As this chemistry is not fully understood, applicants do not intend to be limited to any particular chemical mechanism that may take place when the steps of the Method of the Invention are practiced.
Coloration of the granules by the method of the present invention yields a wide range of buffs, browns and reddish-brown colors similar to standard roofing colors. The coloration is substantially permanent. That is to say, it is extremely stable, and will withstand any significant fading upon exposure to the elements during a normal lifetime for a composition roof. Since there is no significant fading of roofing prepared according to the present invention, replacement of a few shingles or squares of a roof that is several years old may be done in an esthetically acceptable manner without replacing the entire roof.
This example sets forth the preferred method for preparing permanently colored roofing granules.

In use, the roofing granules of the present invention may be applied as a surface coating to asphalt composition shingles, roll or other types of roofing substrates, including hot roofing materials using conventional methods. In one preferred method of use, granules (18) are applied to tab area (14) of shingle (10). In conventional shingle construction lap area (12) is covered with uncolored head lap granules.
Once applied to a substrate as a surface coating, the product roofing materials can be handled and installed using conventional methods. In one preferred method of installation, a first course of shingles (10) is installed. A second course is installed in an overlapping manner so that notches (16) are staggered and the granule-coated tab area (14) of the second course completely covers the uncoated lap area (12) of the first course.

Penske, Ganassi NASCAR programs rise to fore in Phoenix
Mar 3, 2014, 9:45 AM EDT
The Team Penske and Chip Ganassi Racing NASCAR teams had themselves quite a solid weekend in this weekend's The Profit on CNBC 500.
Both teams had past experience in knockout-style qualifying with their IndyCar programs. And while NASCAR's first crack at it wasn't going to be identical, there were enough similar elements for them to know when to make their runs and set times.
Penske nailed it doubly so, with Brad Keselowski and Joey Logano locking out the front row. For good measure, Keselowski added the pole for Saturday's Nationwide race as well.
"We had a really fast car, and there is some pride to be taken in being the first one to win a Sprint Cup pole in this format," Keselowski said after Cup qualifying. "I am sure it will undergo a few adjustments along the way, but it is very rewarding and a testament to my team and how fast of a car they gave me."
In some respects, their finishing third and fourth was a disappointment. But for Keselowski, it's his second third-place finish in as many races to open the season, and for Logano, it was his best finish on the reconfigured Phoenix track (finished third in fall 2010 on the old configuration).
Logano went for it on several restarts, with good pushes of Harvick, but couldn't get any closer.
As for Ganassi's squad, much was made of the addition of new crew chief Keith Rodden to Jamie McMurray's No. 1 Cessna Chevrolet, which was a consistent top-five to top-10 performer all weekend.
Rodden, an ex-Hendrick Motorsports engineer, joined up at the start of the year and with Phoenix less of a lottery than the restrictor-plate race at Daytona, the CGR cars were well-prepared for the Phoenix mile. McMurray qualified third and Kyle Larson seventh, so they also put both cars in the final round of knockout qualifying.
McMurray enjoyed a consistent drive to 10th in the race, while Larson took the necessary bounce back step after his rough Daytona 500 and finished best of the eight rookies in 20th.
"This was a really good day for our Cessna team," McMurray said. "I felt coming here to Phoenix would be the first real test of the season for where we might be as a team. We were fast all weekend and turned that into a strong finish. I am really proud of all the guys on this team and the effort that they put forth this weekend."
Added Larson, "Our Clorox Chevy showed good speed today, and my guys did a great job on pit road. We got caught a lap down early in the race on one of the long green flag runs. We battled to get position back on the lead lap, but couldn't seem to catch a break. Finally with just a handful of laps to go we got the lucky dog, but we just didn't have enough time to make more a of a charge to the front."

This is a hard post to write.
This has been a hard week.
I want to share a picture with you. This is sweet Gavin. It was taken three years ago. He is holding my precious friend's finger…his mommy.
Gavin and his twin brother were born 17 weeks early. I had the amazing honor to photograph the boys and capture the life of Gavin. He was such a fighter. He brought amazing joy to his family and their friends. The time I spent in the hospital with Gavin will forever be cherished in my memory and heart. At a time when I felt incredibly helpless I was able to use my camera to capture images that my dear friends cherish. I am so thankful for those sweet short days.
Last weekend we received news that some of our other friend's stud of a little boy passed away just days after his birth. Their loss brought back a flood of memories from my time with Gavin and reminded me of how powerful the gift of photography can be. So, I want to take this opportunity to write about an incredible organization, Now I Lay Me Down To Sleep. I wish NILMDTS didn't need to exist…it's existence is a reminder of the horrible reality that not all parents get to bring babies home from the hospital, that not all tiny newborns get to grow up to make messes on the kitchen floor and that not all moms get to feel the tight hug of their toddler.
NILMDTS is a network of professional photographers that offer their services free of charge. Their mission statement is,
"To introduce remembrance photography to parents suffering the loss of a baby with the free gift of professional portraiture. We believe these images serve as an important step in the family's healing process by honoring the child's legacy."
If you are a photographer, I highly encourage you to consider volunteering for NILMDTS. I joined the organization 4 years ago, but have had to step back for the time being.
For everyone else, please remember this organization and spread the word. I hope you or someone you love will never need their services, but if that day comes I know how meaningful professional portraits can be.

Phoenix Suns
Green, Suns end Raptors' home winning streak
TORONTO � Markieff Morris had 16 points and 14 rebounds, Gerald Green scored 13 of his 28 points in the fourth quarter, and the Phoenix Suns beat the Toronto Raptors 121-113 on Sunday for their second straight victory.
Goran Dragic scored 19 points, Eric Bledsoe had 14 and P.J. Tucker 11 for the Suns, who had lost three of four before winning 87-80 at Boston on Friday.
Bench scoring was a big edge for Phoenix, whose reserves outscored Toronto's 59-11.
Kyle Lowry had 28 points and 13 assists, and Terrence Ross scored 22 points as Toronto lost at home for the first time since a triple-overtime defeat to Washington on Feb. 27, snapping a four-game winning streak at Air Canada Centre.
Lowry briefly received treatment on the court after he was kneed in the head by Tucker during a scramble for a loose ball in the final two minutes. Bledsoe dunked on the play as Lowry was left lying outside the paint, clutching his head. Lowry stayed in the game following a Toronto timeout.
Amir Johnson scored 20 points, DeMar DeRozan had 17 and Jonas Valanciunas 15 as the Atlantic Division-leading Raptors lost for the first time in three games. Toronto had won eight of 10 and 11 of 14 coming in.
The Raptors fell to 14-13 against Western Conference opponents this season. Toronto needs one win in its final three games against the West to ensure its first .500 record against the conference since the 1999-00 season. Toronto visits New Orleans on March 19, hosts Oklahoma City on March 21 and Houston on April 2.
Green scored five points and Markieff Morris had four as the Suns opened the fourth with an 11-2 run to lead 107-92 with 7:26 remaining.
Phoenix called timeout after Lowry converted a three-point play with 4:08 left, cutting the deficit to 114-107. After the stoppage, Marcus Morris tipped in his brother's missed shot to halt a 6-0 Toronto run, and the Raptors didn't challenge again.
Valanciunas scored 13 points in the first and Ross had 11 for Toronto, but Green came off the bench to score 13 points in six minutes, hitting three of Phoenix's seven 3-pointers, as the Suns led 37-35 after one.
Toronto missed its first eight field goal attempts of the second quarter and trailed 59-49 after a 3 by Dragic with 2:44 left in the opening half. Ross scored seven points as the Raptors cut the gap to 61-59 at the intermission.
Phoenix had 17 second-chance points in the first half, while Toronto had just three. The Suns had eight offensive rebounds to Toronto's two.
Lowry scored 17 points in the third but Bledsoe had 10 for the Suns, all of them at the free throw line, as Phoenix took a 96-90 lead into the fourth.
NOTES: Phoenix outrebounded Toronto 45-26. ... DeRozan missed his first seven shot attempts. ... Toronto F Patrick Patterson (right elbow) missed his fifth straight game and will be re-evaluated Monday, Raptors coach Dwane Casey said. ... Amir Johnson recorded his 406th block with Toronto, breaking a tie with Antonio Davis and taking sole possession of third place on the team's career list.

I was here for a business conference. I had already left another property that I expected to be on par with the JW Marriott. I was wrong.
This property looks old as the hills from the Canal Street but once inside it's all proper Marriott. It was perfect. Everything actually. If I come back here for pleasure I would strongly consider staying here again. Okay they are lacking views but I was not in the room too much. I did get a chance to wonder through one of the two story suites on the upper floors. If that's your price range, do it. Very nice. I was happy with my much smaller worker bee room downstairs with the bosses upstairs.
Well situated a block off Canal and the French Quarter. I really liked it here. Room was excellent and the bed was perfection. Thanks again. This is a fine place to stay.
