Good news, everyone! You can finally cut ties with that lame ex-boyfriend/girlfriend of yours. Why? Because now you have your own HBO Now login, and you don't have to steal theirs anymore.
Don't thank us, thank Andy Samberg. He's the one who just gave out his HBO Now info to the millions and millions of people watching the Emmys Sunday.
"Speaking of, HBO has the most nomination tonight and I just realized that a lot of you watching it at home right now might not have an HBO subscription, but lucky for you, the CEO of HBO recently said he doesn't think password sharing for their streaming services is a problem," Samberg said. "So, here's my HBO Now log in. The user name is email@example.com, and the password is, of course, password1."
U.S. & World
READ: Ranking Andy Samberg's opening monologue jokes at the Emmys
Of course, we immediately thought it was a comedy bit, but Samberg insisted that this was "100% real." So we gave it a shot and...
It worked! We were able to login under the account of "Andy." Even HBO Now's Twitter account verified that this was a real thing:
Be quick if you plan on using Samberg's login – there's no guarantee how long it will be available!
Samberg was quoting HBO CEO Richard Plepler's recent interviews with Buzzfeed about giving out your HBO info and how the company doesn't really care if you share the wealth.
"It's not that we're unmindful of it, it just has no impact on the business," Plepler said. "We're in the business of creating addicts."

They Call it Super for a Reason
From 6:00 until 9:00 on Super Bowl Sunday, you really ought to be watching the Super Bowl. Or at least be standing in a room where other people are.
For many of you, this is preaching to the choir. Which I always thought was a funny expression. That's supposed to mean that you're telling something to people who already know it. But the choir is good at singing, and not all singers are good listeners. Maybe the choir doesn't already know what you're saying because they weren't listening, what with all the time they have to concentrate on singing. So maybe this isn't preaching to the choir.
For many of you, this is preaching to the people who already know what the preacher is going to say. But rumor has it that some of you do not watch the Super Bowl. I know, that's crazy talk. But it's true. There are people left in America, however few, that do not watch the Super Bowl. Or (gasp) the Super Bowl commercials.
The main argument against the Super Bowl is that some people just aren't sports fans. This would be a valid argument if the Super Bowl had anything at all to do with sports. The team I've been pulling for in the game has lost four of the last five years. One of those teams was my favorite – the New York Giants (they have not been a football team since). But I had a great time watching the game. Because no one watching the game actually cares about the game.
I have watched many World Series, Stanley Cup, and NBA Finals games by myself. I have never watched a Super Bowl with fewer than 15 people. Well, I did when I was a kid, but I always wanted my parents to change that. The Super Bowl is such a community event, I was even willing to hang out with my parents friends for the game.
The Super Bowl is about togetherness. And nachos. Lots of nachos. They go together with nacho toppings. See? Togetherness. And soda and beer and pizza and wings and all kinds of food that is unhealthy for you because no matter what you eat you'll be smaller than a lineman.
The Super Bowl is about togetherness. And commercials. Lots of commercials. Commercials so good or bad that you discuss them together with your friends. See? Togetherness. I'm still laughing at the E-Trade commercial with the dancing monkey from three years ago. I have never needed to trade online, but if I did, I would use E-Trade because they have a dancing monkey.
The Super Bowl is about togetherness. And gambling. Lots of gambling. Together with other people at the party that you may or may not know. See? Togetherness. My favorite is the grid pool, where I arbitrarily put down a dollar to bet on the final digits of the score. I have never won a grid pool. But I always play it because it's fun and I don't know when enough is enough.
I actually am a football fan and I try to watch every down (play, for those of you not in the choir). But I am more of a fan of how much fun watching a game can be with a ton of people. I am a fan of anything that can bring that ton of people together for nachos, commercials, and gambling. I guess that also makes me a fan of the midnight buffet on a cruise ship, but if that's wrong, I don't want to be right.
It's true that some togetherness can be bad. A widely circulated statistic is that Super Bowl Sunday sees more domestic violence than any other day. That's true. But it is not the Super Bowl's fault. On Christmas a few year's back, a baseball player named Bobby Chouinard held his wife at gun point because she didn't want to go out and get more beer. Is that Christmas' fault? No, that's Bobby Chouinard's fault. He'd be a jerk without Christmas. He'd be a jerk without the Super Bowl. He'd be a jerk without marriage, too, just to someone else.
Comedian Marc Maron recently called the Super Bowl a free day, where non-Super Bowl people can roam the earth unencumbered by Super Bowl trappings. And as often as I usually agree with him, I don't here. See, I really love nachos.
As a Jew, I used to think Christmas was my free day. I used it to walk around empty streets and movie theatres and Chinese restaurants. But this year I went to a Christmas party. I didn't celebrate the holiday at all, I just went to a party. And I had a GREAT time. Because I was together with some friends and that's what mattered. Also, they had nachos. I was thinking that if only they could add commercials and a grid pool to Christmas, I'd be there every year.
I'm not asking anyone to be a football fan. Or even care that the Patriots are going to win by four or so points. I'm just asking people to go to a friend's house and watch a bunch of silly men run around while you are surrounded by people you enjoy.
But don't watch the half time show because that usually sucks.

Just 18 months ago BALKIN was satisfied with sailing in fun race events on the Sunshine Coast before he decided to buy the champion sloop Corum.
That became a career changing decision when skipper BALKIN and his crew out sailed their rivals in a demanding test of tactical offshore racing over the 308 nautical mile course.
They started the construction of an upset result when Corum was pacing it with a group of more fancied rivals after clearing Moreton Bay before dusk on Good Friday night.
Remarkably her crew who had never sailed before held the collective skills to give their popular skipper the opportunity to claim a career best win.
But BALKIN was more intent on making sure the class sailing combination of sailing master Greg GILLIAM and specialist helmsmen Mal WHITE, Jeremy LEITCH and David TURTON had a happy attitude.
'I believe a happy crew will always be a successful crew and we have the rule that fun comes first.' BALKIN said.
His attitude was evident when he valued the experience of winning the prestigious 58 year old race trophy The Courier-Mail Cup at his second attempt.
'Personally I'm lucky to have a crew who are talented and happy with teaching me on how to enjoy the sport of ocean racing'.
'Greg (Gilliam) runs the yacht and win of lose I enjoy going for the ride'. BALKIN said.
The race clock was set when Peter HOLLIS helmed Heaven Can Wait to her line honours win just after 2200 on Saturday.
They completed the course with a 35 hour 16 minute 32 second elapsed course time to become the provisional leader on corrected time.
But the moment of celebration for the Heaven Can Wait crew was spoilt when the smaller Corum sailed above her handicap rating to snatch victory when she completed the course 2 hours 49 minutes 16 seconds later.
Skipper BALKIN and the Corum crew enjoyed a quite crew celebration at the Port Curtis Sailing Club while they monitored the progress of the 41 year old Wistari which presented a possible threat.
Wistari has won four races and it is never smart to write her off when strong spinnaker sailing winds blow over Hervey Bay.
The Golden Oldie surfed the ocean swells but her speed failed to beat the clock leaving Michael BALKIN and the Corum crew to claim the race win over Heaven Can Wait and Sirromet Life Style Wine.

Press Trust of India
New Delhi, 16 September: Costlier onion and other vegetables pushed up inflation for the third month in a row to 6.1 per cent in August, making it difficult for the RBI to cut rate in the monetary policy review due later this week.
The inflation was at 5.79 per cent in July and 8.01 per cent in August, 2012.
The highest increase was witnessed in case of onion which reported an increase of 245 per cent year on year.
The price of vegetables in general rose by 77.81 per cent making life difficult for the common man.
The high increase in prices was also seen in other essential food items like rice, cereals, egg, meat and fish.
On the positive side, potato prices declined by about 15 per cent followed by pulses which became cheaper by 14 per cent as compared to August last year.
The food items became costlier by 18.8 per cent on year on year basis.
In case of manufactured items, sugar and edible oils became cheaper by 4.2 per cent and 3.86 per cent respectively.
Overall, manufactured items showed a moderate increase of 1.9 per cent during the month on annual basis.
New Reserve Bank Governor Raghuram Rajan, who is scheduled to come out with his first credit policy review on 20 September, will have to take into account the rising inflation while announcing steps to boost sagging growth.
Commenting on the rising inflation, Prime Minister's Economic Advisory Council (PMEAC) chairman C Rangarajan said that it was mainly on account of depreciating rupee but hoped it would come down in the coming months.
"Over the next few months food inflation will start coming down because of good monsoon and that would have an impact on rest of things…we expect the inflation by end of the current fiscal to be around 5.5 per cent", he said.
Economist with KASSA Siddharth Shankar said, "overall numbers may not let RBI cut rates."

Film Face-off: 'Ender's Game' vs. 'The Last Starfighter'
Ender's Game has finally hit the big screen. Orson Scott Card's 1985 novel is about Ender Wiggin's (Asa Butterfield) journey through the International Military with a bunch of other kids, to see if he has what it takes to save Earth from an alien invasion. That got me thinking of one of my favorite (please focus on the concept of nostalgia here) 1984 films, The Last Starfighter. That's about Alex Rogan (Lance Guest) being selected to lead an alien race against an alien invasion (and save Earth in the process). While one focuses on a kid, and the other a teen, there is definitely enough common ground for a good old-fashioned Face-off. This week it's Ender's Game vs. The Last Starfighter. May the best video game player win!
Our Hero
Ender's Game
Ender is an outcast because... well... um, because. Is that not a good enough reason? Other kids are annoyed with him because he's smart. Ender's older brother is too mean, his sister is too nice, and the International Military is hoping Ender is just right. Ender thinks a few steps ahead, and finds his enemy's weakness, falls in love with his enemy, and then destroys them. Sound a little dark? Yup, it is.
The Last Starfighter
Alex is convinced he'll be stuck at a trailer park for the rest of his life. Sure he has a great girl named Maggie (Catherine Mary Stewart), but he's hoping for more. Little does he know that the trailer park's only video game is a recruiting tool for the Frontier in a battle against the Ko-Dan Armada. He's completely unsure if he's capable of rising to the challenge of flying a real spaceship.
Winner: The Last Starfighter. Ender is confident, Alex is an underdog. Ender scowls, Alex goes wide-eyed and cracks a joke. Who would you rather hang out with on the big screen? Ender's Game races through why and how the world that Ender lives in works. You don't really get a sense of what makes him tick except that bullies suck. Butterfield does a fine job with the role, but doesn't come anywhere near his fantastic performance in Hugo. Alex wants to break free, and if you were a kid in the '80s, there was nothing better to imagine than being good at a video game could actually matter.
The Recruiter
Colonel Graff (Harrison Ford) wants Ender on that spaceship, he needs Ender on that spaceship. He can't waste his time thinking that these kids are kids. He's too busy trying to save the world.
We've got Centauri (Robert Preston), and he's a slick salesman who's desperate to get Alex to join up and get behind the controls of a Gunstar.
Winner: The Last Starfighter. Colonel Graff, more like Colonel Gruff, am I right? (Pause for laughter). Ford's Graff is manipulating Ender no matter what the costs. Major Gwen Anderson (Viola Davis) wants Graff to think about the children, and how they could be our future, but he's completely focused on there being a future. His best line is, "You're never ready. You go when you're ready enough." Preston channels his The Music Man's Harold Hill in his Last Starighter role. That's good enough for me. It's humor that is nowhere to be found in Ender's Game. Centauri's best line was his last, "Alex, I want you to know that it was for the greatest good that I brought you back. Of course... it never hurts to be rich."
The Sidekick(s)
Ender has a few moments with Bean (Aramis Knight) and Alai (Suraj Partha). Clearly they all respect one another. Petra (Hailee Steinfeld) helps him train in the battle room, and work on his physical combat skills.
Grig (Dan O'Herlihy) is Alex's wingman once they get in the Gunstar. He's like an English-speaking Wookie, with all of the hope in the world. Before the battle he lived underground with his wifeoid and 6,000 little Griglings.
Winner: The Last Starfighter. OK, Grig's story about having 6,000 little kids doesn't make a ton of sense, but otherwise this guy is great. I love the banter between an awkward, in-over-his-head Alex and and overly optimistic Grig. With Ender's Game, Bean really is overlooked compared to the novel. I always hate to pick on kid actors, but Knight is just one of the many that didn't rise above average. Steinfeld's Petra doesn't ever reach a basic girlfriend level, which is a relief. There wasn't one moment of conversation between the kids that comes close to this exchange from Starfighter:
Alex: There's no fleet, no Starfighters, no plan? One ship, you, me and that's it?
Grig: Exactly. Xur thinks you're still on Earth. Classic military strategy; surprise attack.
Alex: It'll be a slaughter!
Grig: That's the spirit.
Alex: No, my slaughter! One ship against the whole armada?
Grig: Yes, one Gunstar against the armada. I've always wanted to fight a desperate battle against incredible odds.
The Curveballs
There is a mind game that Ender plays on what looks like an iPad. Within this game, Ender is able to explore his psyche, while Colonel Graff watches and analyzes. Things take a weird turn, which leads to a mouse entering a brain, and that's just the beginning.
Centauri realizes that everyone will wonder where Alex went. So, instead of creating some basic story about him leaving town, an android named Beta is left to take his place.
Winner: Tie. Both these things give me the creeps and both are underexplored. It takes people way too long to figure out Beta Alex isn't actually Alex. Plus, every second spent back on Earth is time that we could have been in space on the Gunstar or meeting other Starfighters (before Alex became the last one). With Ender's Game the mind game is odd, then forgotten, and then terribly important. Unfortunately, it never hits a high point in the film when Ender is playing the game, or remembering why it is important.
The Ending
Ender has to pass a final test to see if he is worthy of leading the International Military in their battle against the Formic (aliens that look like bugs).
As the last Starfighter, in the last Gunstar, Alex and Grig attack the armada even though they are terribly outnumbered.
Winner: Ender's Game. There is finally a battle sequence that looks and feels impressive in Ender's Game. Ender and his friends pull out all the stops to impress Colonel Graff and the rest of the ranking officers. Plus, there is a twist you won't completely see coming. Both films rely a little too much on what amounts to a special button/weapon. Game has the Molecular Disruption Device. Starfighter has the Death Blossom (an amazing name). I think most people will be shocked at the serious tone of Game, while Starfighter gives us a classic happy ending.
OVERALL WINNER: The Last Starfighter defeats Ender's Game, 3-1-1.
I completely stand by The Last Starfighter. You know what, if the category of "Special Effects" would have come up, Starfighter would have won that as well. It pushed the boundaries of CGI. It was pretty much that movie and TRON at that time. Ender's Game doesn't push visuals forward, though it does look as good as all of the other current science fiction films. While Ender's Game is good, it feels like it's simply rushing through the novel, attempting to hit the right beats. The battle room is severely overlooked, and would have helped showcase another side of Ender besides being "The Chosen One." Let's end this the way the victorious movie would want us to, "Greetings, Starfighter. You have been recruited by the Star League to defend the Frontier against Xur and the Ko-dan Armada."

Rice Krispies Ice Cream Cake Recipe
I ran across this recipe on Pinterest and can't wait to try it. The combinations for this summery crunchy cake recipe are endless. This recipe can easily be manipulated to fit pretty much any one's taste.
There are three different types of Rice Krispies, plain, chocolate and fruit flavored. You can also substitute chocolate chips for white chocolate chips. Just think about the hundreds of different kinds of ice cream or even frozen yogurt you can use in this recipe.
I can't wait to try this recipe and see what tasty combinations I come up with.
Rice Krispies Ice Cream Cake
1/2 gallons ice cream
1 1/2 cups white chocolate chips
1 1/2 tablespoons butter
4 cups Rice Krispies
Put the half gallon of ice cream in the fridge until softened. Dump the white chocolate chips and butter into a large microwavable bowl and microwave until melted. Stir so butter and chips are mixed together. Now pour the Rice Krispies on top of the melted chips and stir until the cereal is completely coated. Pour the coated cereal onto a cookie sheet or parchment paper and spread it out so it can dry.
Break the coated Rice Krispies into little pieces and place into a spring form cake pan. Pour the softened ice cream over the cereal. Place the remaining coated cereal pieces on top of the melted ice cream and then press the cereal pieces into the pan so the Rice Krispies are packed nice and snug into the pan. Place the pan in the freezer for at least four hours.
When ready to serve, remove the spring form sides of the pan.

Continuing Northlight Theatre's 2011-2012 season is Ten Chimneys (written by Jeffrey Hatcher and directed by Artistic Director BJ Jones) at the center of which are Broadway legends Alfred Lunt (V Craig Heidenreich), Lynn Fontanne (Lia D. Mortensen) and the rest of the Lunt family. Much of the play takes place over the course of one particular summer, when the Lunts, longtime friend Sydney Greenstreet (Steve Pringle), newcomer Uta Hagen (Sara J. Griffin) and the rest of the company are to gather at the Lunt family's retreat, "Ten Chimneys," in Genesee Depot, Wisconsin, where they are, among other things, to rehearse Anton Chekhov's The Seagull.
Though there are quite a lot of comic moments in the play, quite a lot of drama abounds during their time at the Lunts' retreat as well, much of it offstage in the real lives of the actors, though it hardly seems that I should be making the distinction between on-stage and off when Alfred and Lynn barely make the distinction – if they do at all. The bulk of the drama, it must be said, happens within the Lunt family itself. Hattie (Linda Kimbrough) the matriarch of the family, though fond of her well-known, accomplished son, Alfred, makes frequent attempts to come between him and her daughter-in-law, Lynn, who it could be said she sees as something of a threat, particularly when it comes to being able to get what she wants when she wants it. Her children, who haven't "made it," as Alfred has, Carl (Lance Baker) and Louise (Janet Ulrich Brooks) are treated, in essence, as second-class citizens. Carl, who is a pool shark and something of a layabout, essentially serves as chauffeur and gofer. Her daughter, Louise, serves as housekeeper. The one time that Louise even suggests that she would rather participate in the rehearsals than cook for everyone, Hattie dismisses the idea as ridiculous, and sends her back to the kitchen – which is where, it would seem, Hattie believes Louise belongs. The one thing that Hattie herself doesn't seem to notice is that she didn't exactly achieve success as an actress herself, though she believes that she has – or, at the very least, she wants others to believe she has -- and so often plays up her experiences in the theatre while living vicariously through Alfred.
Only adding to the drama, while all of this is going on within the family alone, are Uta's rehearsals with Alfred – she is cast as Nina in The Seagull -- and the sort of flirtation that goes on between the two of them, which leads Lynn to see Uta as a threat to her relationship with Alfred and, as such, her asking Alfred to dismiss Uta immediately. At the same time Sydney has trouble with his wife who, unbeknownst to most people, has had psychological issues for many years and lives in a facility in Wisconsin.
But, for all of he personal dramas that are revealed, we also get glimpses of Alfred and Lynn's life in the theatre, their professional side. If they don't exactly demand perfection, they do expect it, mainly because they expect to achieve nothing less themselves. One scene that I feel serves as a great example of how attentive they were to detail, and how attentive they expect their actors to be, is the scene in which Lynn and Uta are discussing which makeup Nina would wear in various scenes. Lynn wants Uta to understand not only which makeup to use when, but the reasoning behind it as well.
I will say that on the whole Ten Chimneys is a wonderfully acted, engaging play. However, as was the case with Season's Greetings, expecting some sort of real resolution may be disappointing. As sometimes happens in real life, many (if not all) of the dysfunctional relationships remain dysfunctional. Though they may realize that there are problems in their relationships, it almost seems that they are so used to those problems and so comfortable in their roles – even if they don't particularly like those roles -- that they seem to be stuck there.
Ten Chimneys is currently scheduled to run through April 15, 2012. Curtain times are Tuesdays at 1:00 PM (April 3 only) and 7:30 PM; Wednesdays at 1:00 PM and 7:30 PM (no show April 11); Thursday at 7:30 PM; Friday at 8:00 PM; Saturdays at 2:30 PM (no show March 10) and 8:00 PM, and Sundays at 2:30 PM (no show April 8) and 7:00 PM (March 11, April 1 and April 15 only).
Northlight Theatre is located at the North Shore Center for the Performing Arts, 9501 Skokie Boulevard in Skokie. To purchase tickets to Ten Chimneys, log onto the Northlight Theatre website, www.northlight.org, or call the Box Office at 847-673-6300.

An elementary school in New Hampshire says it's welcoming a transgendered third-grader as a girl. The child will be able to use the girls' restroom, will dress like a girl, and will be addressed as a girl at school. Janson Wu, the lawyer who helped her parents reach an agreement with her new school, says accommodating transgendered students is new territory for everyone, but "we're going to see a lot more students coming out. And that's something that schools and parents need to be prepared to deal with."
It sounds like maybe the girl's previous school was not so prepared. She transferred this fall from a different city school. I wonder how many of her teachers and classmates already know if this new student is transgendered -- and if so, how much it matters to them. Will they eventually find out? How exactly is this going to work out in the bathroom?
I'll admit my first thought: A third-grader? How would this child know at such a young age? But I happen to live with a third-grader. I know how willful he is, and how clear he is about his identity. So yeah, I believe this transgendered girl feels strongly about being a girl. Gender identity becomes super important starting around the age of 7. This is definitely the result of her reaching a developmental milestone.
I think her fellow classmates can handle it. But I hope they get support from their parents, too. No parent should be filling their kids' heads with bigoted ideas. This is an opportunity for families to grow compassion. Who knows why there are kids born one gender but feel like they're the other gender? Does it really matter? You should still treat them with dignity and respect. This is an important lesson for all kids (and their parents!) to learn.
So I'm glad the school is accepting this transgendered student. The district superintendent, Mark Conrad, says the agreement between the girl's parents and the school is meant to help the girl thrive in the classroom -- and that's exactly what the school should be focusing on. Girl or boy, it doesn't matter. Let her pee in the girls' bathroom! However this student wants to be identified, it's the school's job to provide her with the best education they possibly can in an environment that doesn't cause her extra stress. I hope it works out.
What do you think of the school's decision to accept a transgendered third-grader?

It's exactly what the name says; it's a coating material which is laid atop the damaged roof, to help bring together the damaged pieces. It serves as an elastic coating, and can either be rolled out or sprayed onto the roof, depending on the type of and level of damage that is being repaired.
There are numerous benefits to this, as opposed to considering installation of a new roof. The most obvious benefit, at least for a majority of customers, is the fact that it is far cheaper to apply Towson roof coating, as opposed to installing a new roof on a large commercial facility. There are, however, other benefits of choosing this material finish. Among the benefits are
As detailed above, Towson roof coating is also a much cheaper alternative than to having to rip off an old roof, and install a new roof on a commercial property.
If you're considering Towson roof coatings as an alternative to new roof replacement for your Maryland building, you are obviously going to want to hire the most qualified Maryland roofing contractors for the job. Our roofing technicians are fully licensed, bonded, and we're insured, to perform the application of this coating material onto your commercial roof.

NOTE:Your thorough roof inspection will include: photographs, detailed written assessment, potential storm damage discovered, and an easy-to-understand discussion of cost-effective repair or replacement solutions
Around 50% Cheaper Than A New Roof
Coatings can cost up to 50% less than a full roof replacement!
Save on Labor Without Having to Tear Off Your Old Roof
You can save on labor costs as well by not having to tear off your old roof! A roof coating can be applied directly over-top of your existing roof.
Federal Tax Rebates, Tax Credits and Deduction
You can potentially earn a federal tax credit with a roof coating when it is considered as a "maintenance cost"
Save Money On Your Utility Bill
Reflective roof coatings can 'reflect' heat, meaning it can help keep your building cooler and requires less air conditioning. This can help save you money on your utility bill, and the savings can add up quickly over the years!
Durability to Mother Nature
Roof coatings are extremely durable & can hold up to powerful storms. What does this mean for you? Peace of mind not worrying about leaks popping up after each storm, and having to spend on repairs after a storm.
How Long Does It Take To Replace a Commercial Roof?
The answer to this depends on several key factors. The first of which is the size of your commercial roof. A 5,000 Square Foot roof will take a much shorter time to complete than it will to tear off and replace a 450,000 Square Foot roof. Second, does your roof have one layer or multiple layers? Multiple layers will likely add more time to the duration of your roof replacement. Other factors include the scope of the project and all of the components that need to be replaced. Third, the type of roof that you are looking to have put on is important. A roof coating can be directly applied over your existing roof and is the least disruptive. A coating would likely take less time than it will to tear-off and replace a TPO or rubber roof. Weather also plays a crucial role as Mother Nature can dictate if a project needs to be rescheduled. Prolonged storms could push the project's completion date back.
I Think My Commercial Roof Was Damaged By A Storm, What Now?
Mother Nature is very unpredictable, and can disrupt even the strongest roof. Excessive winds & hail stones can penetrate and impact your roof. If left unrepaired, minor leaks and punctures can turn into major leaks or catastrophic roof failure. The best option after any storm is to schedule a free storm damage roofing inspection to have a professional provide an expert opinion. It is a good idea to have a roof inspection at-least twice a year for your commercial roof to check on its health bi-yearly.
When Do I Need To Have My Commercial Roof Replaced?
When your flat roof starts leaking, that can serve as the most visible symptom that something in your roofing system is broken. If you have a newer roof, a leak may just be a minor and inexpensive fix. However, as a commercial roof ages, it becomes more brittle and vulnerable to the elements. It becomes more susceptible to each storm that passes through. One major wind storm or hail storm can cause catastrophic roof failure. The older a roof becomes, the more difficult it is to safely repair it. In some cases, repairs to aging roofs can cause more damage, and are difficult to guarantee as the patch may only hold for a short while. Not all roofs require full roof replacement, and some older roofs can qualify for roof restoration, which means having your roof spray coated which can extend the life of your roof for 10 or 20 years. A roof coating can cost 50% less than having your roof fully replaced, and is a strong option to consider for many.
What Should I Look For in a Commercial Roofing Contractor?
Not all commercial roofers have the same level of expertise or experience. The roof on your building is one of your most valuable investments, and keeps your tenants and their inventory safe. A leaky roof can disrupt a business's day to day and damage valuable inventory. Moreover, a commercial roof replacement is an involved process, and the more efficient your roofer is, the quicker they can get out of your way and allow your business to resume normal day to day functions. You should consider a commercial roofers previous customer reviews, their gallery of flat roof jobs, their experience doing commercial jobs, the warranty, price, and the materials they are proposing to use. Quality and reliability of a commercial roofer are two of the most important factors.
Should I Choose To Replace My Roof Or Restore It?
This is an excellent question - with many building owners and property managers not even realizing that roof restoration and roof coatings are possible! In many instances, not all commercial flat roofs, low slope roofs & commercial metal roofs require being fully replaced! The solution is to have a roof coating applied over-top of your existing roof, restoring it, and providing it an extended 10 or 20 years lifespan. Roof coatings are less disruptive than having your roof entirely replaced. Roof coatings can also save you as much as 50% as compared to having your roof entirely replaced. Unfortunately, not all roofs are candidates, particularly if your roof has suffered extreme hail damage. This can be discussed during your free inspection.
How Long Can a New Commercial Roof Last?
This will depend on the type of roofing system that you decide to have installed on your building. Roof coatings, TPO, metal, rubber and rolled roofs all have different lifespans that we can discuss with you during your free inspection. Climate and environment can also play a role in the lifespan of your new commercial roof as hail and excessive wind can both wear down and break your roofing system. Lastly, the roofing contractor's craftsmanship can impact how long your new roof lasts, as a contractor that does not adhere to manufacturer code and guidelines can not only void your warranty, but significantly decrease the lifespan of your roof.

Papers (1930-1949) including correspondence; agriculture and gardening; export of flowers and vegetables; travel account; letters and miscellaneous.
Louise Avett, a native of Norwood, N.C., attended Davenport College, Duke University, and Scarritt College in Nashville, Tennessee. The Western Carolina Conference of the Methodist Church sent her to teach in Soochow, China, in 1932, and later to do rural work in the West China localities of Huchow, Chekiang, Suining, and Szechuan. She remained in China until after the conclusion of World War II.
The bulk of the collection consists of correspondence of Miss Avett to her family, although a few letters were penned by friends of Miss Avett and other missionaries. Most of the correspondence describes Miss Avett's personal feelings and activities during the early years of her service (1932-1936).
Much of the correspondence pertains to agriculture and gardening. Letters describe primitive tools and farming methods (Nov., 1932), fertilizer (Dec., 1932), growing seasons (Apr., 1933), the condition of crops (Arp., 1933, June, July, 1934; Oct., 1939; Apr., 1944), plowing with water buffaloes (May, 1933), harvesting rice (Sept., 1933), the export of flowers and vegetables in Miss Avett's garden (Mar., May, June, July, Sept., 1933; Mar., Apr., Sept., Oct., Dec., 1934; Jan., May, Oct., 1935; Feb., May, Nov., 1936; Mar., 1937; Feb., Apr., Oct., 1939; Jan., 1940; Apr., 1942; Feb., Oct., 1943; Apr., June, July, 1944).
Travel accounts describe Miss Avett's train trip across the U.S. and Canada and her voyage to China (Aug., 1932), as well as travel by river boats, trains and buses throughout China. Miss Avett traveled to Kuling (July, 1933), Shanghai (Nov., 1933; Oct., 1934), Huchow (Oct., 1934) and Peking (July, 1936; Aug., 1937), and from Hangchow to Huchow (Feb., 1939). Additional correspondence describes travel-related problems caused by war (Sept., 1940) and travel from Chengtu to Suining (Feb., 1944). Letters describe sightseeing in Peking (Apr., 1933; Aug., 1937), Peiping (Oct., 1937), and Nanking (May, 1934), and shopping in Shanghai (Nov. 29, 1933). A letter of July 22, 1935, pertains to a visit to Hiroshima and includes a discussion of Japanese lifestyle and culture.
Social and cultural activities of the Chinese people are amply represented in the correspondence. Letters describe holidays and celebrations such as Christmas (Nov., 1932; Dec., 1933; Jan., 1934; and Dec., 1934), the Chinese New Year (Feb., 1933; Feb., 1934; Jan., 1936; Feb., 1937; Feb., 1939; Feb., 1943), birthdays (Jan., 1940; Nov., 1941; May, 1942), the celebration of the middle of the eighth lunar month (Sept., 1934), and Chinese Independence Day (Oct., 1935). Commentary on traditional customs and ceremonies for betrothal (Sept., 1934; Jan., 1944), and funerals (Jan., Mar., 1933; May, Oct., undated, 1934; Apr., Oct., 1936; Jan., 1940) is very informative.
Many of the letters pertain to the preparation and consumption of Chinese food. They describe the foods in an ordinary diet as well as in special holiday feasts (Jan., Nov., 1933; Feb., Apr., Dec., 1934; Jan., 1935; Oct., 1936; Feb., 1937; Feb., 1939; Dec., 1942).
Other aspects of social life and customs are described in the correspondence. They include the rebuke of foreigners (June, Sept., 1933; Feb., 1934); the dress, mannerisms, and customs of men (May, July, 1933; Feb., May, June, Dec., 1934), women (Sept., Nov., 1933; Jan., Feb., June, 1934; Feb., 1944), and children (May, June, Sept., Nov., 1933; May, 1934; Dec., 1943); the dedication of a new home (Oct., 1936); and the carrying of "firebaskets" for warmth (Dec., 1942; Dec., 1943). Two letters (Mar., May, 1945) vividly describe customs, clothes, and sights in India.
Miss Avett discusses the nature of missionary work. Letters pertain to the programs and problems of teaching at mission schools at Changshu (Sept., Dec., 1933; Feb., Sept., Oct., Dec., 1934; Sept., 1935), Huchow, Chekiang (Feb., Aug., Oct., 1936; Sept., 1939), and Suining (Aug., 1941; May, 1942). Miss Avett also describes the religious and social activities of missionaries (July, 1933; Jan., May, July, 1934; Dec., 1936; July, 1940; Apr., Aug., Nov., 1942; Oct., 1943; Apr., July, 1944; Feb., 1946; Sept. 22, 1949; and undated, to Bernice).
Non-Christian religious events are also described in letters (Jan., Nov., 1932; Aug. 9, 1933; Mar. 8 and July, 1934; and undated to Juanita).
Some of the letters describe the impact of the Sino-Japanese War and World War II on life in China. Descriptions pertain to the Japanese invasion of China (Nov.,1937) and the effects of war on the Chinese economy (Jan., 1939; July, Aug., 1941; June, 1943; Mar., June, 1944) and on missionaries (Jan., Feb., Mar., Apr., July, Aug., Oct., 1939; Feb., 1940; Aug., 1941).
Miscellaneous topics mentioned and commented upon are a Chinese play (Jan. 14, 1933), road building (Sept. 8, 1933; Feb. 23, 1934; Feb. 10, 1937), local trade and industry (May 24, 1933; July 7, 1933; Mar. 8, 1934; Apr. 2, 1939), folklore concerning weather (Mar. 23, 1934) and evil spirits (Oct., 1936), population control (Oct. 5, 1934), climate and weather (Apr. 2, 1939; July, 1939; July 1944; Oct. 29, 1947), and country homes (Nov., 1936).
The collection contains a few miscellaneous items. Letters of August 28 and October 16, 1936, enclose photographs of Miss Avett, other missionaries, and sites in Peiping. A folder of miscellany contains two unidentified photographs and newspaper clippings pertaining to the Chinese New Year and student demonstrations at Wuchang.

The daughter of civil rights leader Malcolm X is set to appear in a North Carolina court on several outstanding warrants from New York.
Malikah Shabazz is scheduled to appear in a Madison County court Tuesday morning. An attorney for Shabazz says she is not fighting extradition.
Authorities say Shabazz was arrested Friday night after authorities responded to a call to a Mars Hill home. Investigators found that the 45-year-old had several outstanding warrants from Queens, N.Y., that include charges for grand larceny, forgery and identity theft.
Lawyer Sean Devereux says the warrants appear to be from 2009 but that Shabazz was never served with the papers. Her attorneys are not sure about the circumstances of the charges.

Check out the brand new Exposure project page on GitHub: https://github.com/KrisJelbring/Exposure
If you for some reason want to help out with the development, this is the place to go.
Status updatePosted: February 23, 2012 in Exposure updates
Tags: Exposure
Not that much going on here at the moment. I haven't done any development on Exposure for a while, so you could pretty much consider the project to be on hold. If I find the inspiration again I might take up the development again, but after all I'm pretty happy with the current state of the plugin.
If someone else would like to takeover the project, let me know and I'll give you access to the Google code repository.
All the best!

Exposure 1.0Posted: October 29, 2011 in Exposure updates
Tags: 1.0, Arabic, Chinese, Chrome, Czech, Exposure, Firefox, IE, jQuery, jQuery 1.6.4, jQuery plugins, Opera, Safari
After a long long wait I'm now pround to announce that Exposure 1.0 finally is release ready!
Exposure 1.0 contains the following updates and bug fixes:
- Multiple gallerier per page – The most asked for feature! You are now able to run multiple Exposure instances on a single page.
- Significant API changes – In order to cater for the support for multiple galleries I had to rewrite large parts of the plugin. This also means that several parts of the API has been changed. Take a look at the updated Documentation and Demos to get an idea of how this affects your galleries. Some of the changes includes:
- Public function currentPage has been renamed currentPageNumber
- Public function currentPage has been renamed currentPageNumber
- Callback option onEmpty now takes a "gallery" parameter
- You can reference some of the important elements (target element, wrapper element etc.) through a reference to your "gallery" element
- Important selector classes are now stored as constants in the new static exposure object
- Better demos – All demos have been updated to use the new API. The demos are now also linked to each other so that you can browse between them more easily. Demo 5 has been updated to show examples on how to display captions below images, how to implement an image counter and how to add additional content to your images.
- New demos – Demo 7 shows how to use the new multiple galleries per page features and Demo 8 shows how to create a gallery where the images are centered both vertically and horizontally.
- Czech translation added – Big thanks to Martin!
- Simplified Chinese translation added – Big thanks to NaziCP!
- Arabic translation added – Big thanks to Muhammad!
- Better support for hover effects – Hover effects, like the sliding caption panel, are easier to implement thanks to the two new callback options onImageHoverOver and onImageHoverOut
- New public function – imageHasData() lets you check if the currently displayed image also has any data (caption or additional data) up for display
- jQuery 1.6.4 – Exposure is now bundled with jQuery 1.6.4
- Reduced footprint – The size of the minfied version of Exposure has been reduced.
Exposure 1.0 is tested to work with Safari, Firefox, Chrome, Opera and Internet Explorer (8+ is supported, 6 and 7 still works but is not actively supported).
Support the future development of Exposure:
Make a small donation and support the future development of the Exposure plugin.

Now rssh is installed. Next logical step is configure user to use rssh. All you have to do is set a user account shell to /usr/bin/rssh. The following examples adds user didi to system with /usr/bin/rssh.
Create a new user with /usr/bin/rssh
Login as the root user
Type the following command to create a new user called didi:
# useradd -m -d /home/didi -s /usr/bin/rssh didi
# passwd didi
Change existing user shell to /usr/bin/rssh
Use chsh command or usermod command to change user login shell:
# usermod -s /usr/bin/rssh old-user-name
# usermod -s /usr/bin/rssh vivek
# chsh -s /usr/bin/rssh vivek
Try login via ssh or sftp
Now try login via ssh or sftp using username didi:
$ sftp email@example.com
$ ssh email@example.com
email@example.com's password: TYPE-THE-PASSWORD
Linux my.backup.server.com 2.6.22-14-generic #1 SMP Tue Dec 18 08:02:57 UTC 2007 i686
Last login: Thu Dec 27 16:35:04 2007 from localhost
This account is restricted by rssh.
This user is locked out.
If you believe this is in error, please contact your system administrator.
Connection to my.backup.server.com closed.
By default rssh configuration locks down everything including any sort of access.
Grant access to sftp and scp for all users
The default action for rssh to lock down everything. To grant access to scp or sftp open /etc/rssh.conf file:
# vi /etc/rssh.conf
Append or uncomment following two lines
Save and close the file. rssh reads configuration file on fly (there is no rssh service exists). Now user should able to run scp and sftp commands, but no shell access is granted:
$ scp /path/to/file email@example.com:/.
$ sftp firstname.lastname@example.com:/.
Connecting to lmy.backup.server.com... email@example.com's password: sftp> pwd Remote working directory: /home/didi sftp>
Understanding command configuration options
You need to add following keywords / directives to allow or disallow scp / sftp and other commands:
- allowscp : Tells the shell that scp is allowed.
- allowsftp : Tells the shell that sftp is allowed.
- allowcvs : Tells the shell that cvs is allowed.
- allowrdist : Tells the shell that rdist is allowed.
- allowrsync : Tells the shell that rsync is allowed.
Tip: Create a group for rssh users, and limit executable access to the binaries to users in that group to improve security. Please use standard file permissions carefully and appropriately.
