Arresting Officer Suspended in Moriarty DWI Case
Joseph DiBuonaventura, the Washington Township police officer who arrested Assemblyman Paul Moriarty for a DWI in July, has been suspended since October 22.
, November 26, 2012 at 06:27 PM
The Washington Township police officer who arrested Assemblyman Paul Moriarty on the charge of driving while intoxicated on July 31 has been suspended with pay since October 22 Police Capt. Richard Leonard told Patch by email.
The suspension was handed down the same day a municipal court judge ruled there was probable cause on 13 of 27 criminal complaints Assemblyman Paul Moriarty filed against the veteran police officer in connection with the legislator's July 31 arrest.
According to a report by South Jersey Times that appears on NJ.com, DiBuonaventura was processed on Friday, Nov. 9, at the Gloucester County Prosecutor's Office facility in Woodbury. He was required to turn in his badge and all police department equipment.
A so-called Loudermill hearing has been held to determine whether DiBuonaventura will remain suspended with pay or be taken off the Washington Township payroll during his suspension, Leonard said. The hearing results are pending.
Moriarty, a former mayor of Washington Township, has accused DiBuonaventura of an "abuse of power," and invited media to view video footage of his arrest at his attorney's office on Oct. 19. (Patch was not invited to that press conference.)
Moriarty was arrested July 31 in the parking lot of a fast-food restaurant on the Black Horse Pike, in Turnersville. The legislator refused to submit to a breathalyzer test at the police station following his arrest.
"What happened to me a few months ago shouldn't happen to anyone. There was no legal reason to even stop my car," Moriarty said in a statement issued to the Times when he filed the complaints. "This officer crossed the line."
DiBuonaventura, who previously was fired (but later re-hired as a Washington Township police officer) is alleged to have committed perjury and official misconduct, filed false police reports, and falsified and tampered with public records, according to the complaints form Moriarty.
seeking access to police dashboard camera footage of DiBuonaventura's traffic stop of Moriarty. The township had denied Patch's request under the state's Open Public Records Act to release the video. before Assignment Judge Georgia M. Curio in state Superior Court in Bridgeton.

WILLIAMS LAW GROUP, P.S.: Renewing Letters of Guardianship for 5 Years: WA State
Renewing Letters of Guardianship for 5 Years: WA State
by Gregory Williams, Esq. | Under Washington State law, is it possible to renew Letters of Guardianship for 5 years? Here's my point of view (NOTE: please read our DISCLAIMER before proceeding).
Typically, in the State of Washington, Letters of Guardianship are renewed for a period of 12, 24, or 36 months. However, the law allows courts to order the clerk to issue Letters of Guardianship that are valid for a period of up to five years from the anniversary date of the appointment. See RCW 11.88.127(2).
When determining the time period for which the letters will be valid, the court is required to consider the following:
The length of time the guardian has been serving the incapacitated person;
whether the guardian has timely filed all required reports with the court;
whether the guardian is monitored by other state or local agencies; and
whether there have been any allegations of abuse, neglect, or a breach of fiduciary duty against the guardian.
In Washington State, one may request the court to renew Letters of Guardianship for up to 60 months (5 years), and the likelihood of success will be based in part upon the court’s discretion and ones ability to establish a combination of the four considerations above to the court’s satisfaction. I have successfully acquired 5-year terms on behalf of former clients.

Around the Wherever: How Moo celebrated the new year
I wrote about how I celebrated the New Year but I didn't mention what Moo, my cat, got to do. On NYE, unfortunately, the poor little guy had to celebrate alone since I was in Heidelberg. He stayed in the bathroom/hallway so I'm hoping that the fireworks weren't too loud for him.
When I came home, he greeted me, happy and purring as always. I'm assuming the night wasn't too traumatic. However, I felt kind of guilty, even though he's a cat. To make up for being gone, I gave him wet food as a treat, catnip, hung out with him, and even played his favorite game, feather (basically moving a feather around and letting him pounce on it, which he thinks is the best thing ever).
He was so pleased after all of this that it was ridiculous. It's funny to think of a cat being happy but I swear that if he could smile, he would have.

bollywooddeewana: Raja aur Runk (1968)
I acquired this a while ago but never managed to finish watching it. Mahesh Kothare's ridiculous wig (and Sanjeev Kumar's, too) kept getting in the way of my enjoyment. Things got worse when the Raja-pretending-to-be-Runk suddenly burst forth into a song sung by Lata (he had a perfectly male voice throughout!) - a song that I've always liked but never realised its setting! The Sanjeev-Nazima number O phirkiwaali tu kal phir aana is one of my all time favorites, though, and the main reason why I bought this (apart from Mark Twain's story). But I must say that I much prefer the Errol Flynn version.
I've heard so much about this film but wasn't sure to watch it. I think I would just to see the adaptation and the screen caps are beautiful, making me more curious!
You're too funny bollywiever Lol, i actually didn't mind the wig, afterall it's a costume drama, the Lata singing didn't bother me either
I haven't seen the Errol Flynn version hence i can't compare. But this one is entertaining in its own right
Nicki its fun and entertaining, you'll probably like it, if you like the Prince and Pauper story
I agree with bollyviewer, I prefer the Errol Flynn version, even though I have seen this one (and despite Sanjeev Kumar, whom I generally like a lot - somehow I didn't like his moustache and his glittery clothes in Raja and Runk!) But I do like the music in this, especially Mera naam hai Chameli: awesome. I remember having read somewhere that some people from Bikaner sued the filmmakers (or was it the lyricist?) because the song implied that maalans from Bikaner were iffy on morals. LOL.
This story has been done so many times in so many ways - I even saw it done on the Simpsons, but I imagine no one will have done it with such style! I am stunned, blown away, amazed at how beautifully crafted the sets are! This palace is straight out of a dream. Truly amazing!
@dusted off thanks for sharing that info never really heard of Bikaner till today. I probably also have to try and get Errol Flynn's version since you and bollyviewer say you prefer it
@ Shell trust '60's bollywood to come up with the fab interiors
u 4gt a very emotional song frm tis movie "oh maa,tu kitni acchi hain"!!!

INCORPORATION-BY-REFERENCE TO MATERIAL SUBMITTED ON A COMPACT DISC
Roofing systems of varying pitches used on homes and buildings located in tropical/semi-tropical and hurricane-prone areas face many challenging conditions that can adversely affect the integrity and lifetime of the roof. Some of the most commonly used types of roofing systems include asphalt shingles and clay or concrete tiles. Because shingled or tile roof systems are individual pieces or components installed in a single fashion, these types of roofing systems are especially susceptible to damage due to high winds, especially winds in excess of 100 mph or more that can occur during hurricanes or other tropical storms. Other conditions that can often be more intense in tropical/semi-tropical areas include high UV exposure and high humidity that results in mold, mildew and algae growing on the roof.
Typically, asphalt shingles are composed of a base material, an asphalt mixture, and a surfacing material. The base material is usually either organic felt or glass-fiber mat. The base material provides support for the weather-resistant components and gives strength to the shingle. The asphalt mixture includes asphalt, limestone and other mineral stabilizers. Asphalt is a complex mixture of hundreds of aliphatic and aromatic compounds. The surfacing material is generally in the form of mineral granules, which provide protection from impact and UV degradation and improves fire resistance. As asphalt ages due to UV exposure, expansion and contraction, it breaks down chemically and physically. Granule loss may subsequently occur due to the changes in the asphalt layer or due to mechanical forces such as high winds or other impacts to the roof. The result of all these challenges is that the shingles are weakened structurally and highly susceptible to further damage and/or failure.
It is known to protect and extend the life of existing roofing systems by applying a coating to the shingles or other type of roofing material after its installation. Typically, these protective coatings are highly viscous materials that adhere to the existing roof system to form an additional layer that provides a further barrier to weather. Examples of this type of coating system are described in U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,571,415; 4,859,723; and 5,434,009. These types of coating systems cover the existing roof system and therefore, destroy any aesthetic value of the roof such as architectural singles or clay/cementatious tiles. The present invention overcomes the disadvantages of the known roof coating systems by providing a clear sealer that wicks into the existing roof structure and results in a shingle, tile, or other porous construction material that is highly water resistant, stronger, and still retains its original look.
This invention is directed to sealing compositions and application methods for sealing and protecting asphalt roof shingles or other porous roofing and construction materials by eliminating algae, mold and mildew, increasing granular adhesion, providing additional UV protection and significantly increasing the wind resistance of the roof as per state building codes, such as Florida Building Code TAS-100-95. The sealing composition includes a low viscosity film forming component that has been modified to alter its wetting properties so as to promote wicking of the sealer under asphalt shingles and at open edges to prevent curling and water infiltration. It also seals pores and other discontinuities in the roof system, sealing it from moisture infiltration without affecting its ability to breathe and allowing vapors to evaporate. The sealing composition also includes at least one biocide to protect the roof from algae, mold, or mildew related degradation and staining. The method of applying the sealing composition promotes uniform distribution of the product on the surface of installed roofs as well as enhances bonding between individual shingles by improved penetration on and between shingle layers to increase adhesion area.
FIG. 1 is a cross sectional view of a composite asphalt shingle, half of which has been sealed with the invention.
FIG. 2 is a top view of a composite asphalt shingle that has been sealed with the invention.
This invention is directed to a water-based, polymeric film composition and an in-situ method of applying it to composite asphalt shingles or other porous roofing or construction materials to seal the material and prevent degradation and destruction of the material due to UV exposure, algae, mildew and mold, excessive wind, rain and naturally occurring disasters such as hurricanes and hail. In particular, the inventive composition has been shown to provide superior wind resistance on existing shingles, as measured by Florida Building Code TAS-100-95. (Capable of withstanding 110 to 130 mph winds and 8.8 inches of water per hour with no roof leakage.) These sealing compositions and application methods provide a simpler, immediate and more versatile construction route to enhance the wind resistance of existing structures and strengthen new roof construction.
The sealing composition of this invention includes a film forming polymer, a surfactant, and additives such as UV inhibitors, biocides, and curing agents that are mixed with water to form an aqueous solution that is capable of wicking into asphalt shingles or other porous construction materials, thereby protecting the shingle or material from damage due to sun, wind, mold etc. The sealing composition dries into a transparent film or membrane that is fully adhered to the shingle or other material.
In particular, the inventive composition is formulated to have a surface tension that provides for maximum wicking of the composition into the fissures and other irregularities found in composite asphalt shingles or other porous construction materials. The ability of a liquid to wet a solid surface is determined from the surface tension values of both the liquid and solid. In order for a liquid to wet out a solid, its surface tension should be about 10 dynes/cm higher or lower than the solid surface tension. Asphalt-liquid surface tensions have been measured to range from about 25 to 40 dynes/cm. (“Use of NMR Imaging to Measure Interfacial Properties of Asphalts” Miknis, F. P. et al., Western Research Institute—Laramie, WY.) Reducing surface tension is the preferred route to provide maximum wicking of the sealing agents. As such, the sealing composition is preferably formulated to have a surface tension in the range of about 15 to about 30 dynes/cm. For comparison, water without any additives has a surface tension of about 70 dynes/cm.
The sealing composition is also formulated so that it contains about no more than about 30% by weight of solids. The amount of solids present in the composition will affect the ability of the composition to pass through the voids in the surface granules of the shingles. For use on all types of porous construction materials, the sealing composition contains about 10% to 40% solids by weight. For most roof system applications, the sealing compositions contain about 20% to about 30% solids by weight. More particularly, the inventive sealing includes about 22% to about 28% solids by weight for asphalt applications and about 21% to about 24% solids by weight for cementatious or clay tiles.
The sealing composition of the present invention includes several other properties that provide advantages over other roof coating compositions. The present sealing composition is formulated to have a theoretical density of about 8.0 lbs/gal to about 9.0 lbs/gal. For asphalt and cementatious/clay tile applications, the sealing composition typically has a density of about 8.3 lbs/gal to about 8.9 lbs/gal, and preferably about 8.6 lbs/gal to about 8.8 lbs/gal. The pH of the sealing compositions should be formulated to be compatible with the roof system to which it is being applied. Since asphalt roof systems often contain limestone, it is desirable to formulate these sealers having a pH in the range of about 7 to 10, preferably about 8 to 9. Formulations for use on asphalt roof systems and cementatious and clay tiles typically have a pH of about 8. Finally, the present sealing composition is formulated to have very low volatile organic components (VOCs). Typically, the sealer contains less than about 250 gm/L VOCs.
The film forming polymer used in the composition can be any polymer that is water based and provides good adhesion to shingles or other porous construction materials. Acrylic polymers are particularly advantageous due to their low cost, good adhesion to asphalt shingle substrates and excellent UV protecting properties. Co-polymers such as acrylic/vinyl and urethane/polyethylene can also be used. In particular, the PaveCryl® 100 Vinyl and Acrylic Asphalt Modifiers developed by Rohm and Haas (Philadelphia, Pa.) have been found to be effective for the inventive sealing composition. The PaveCryl® line includes PaveCryl 2500, Pavecryl 3077, PaveCryl 9100, PaveCryl Suppress, and PaveCryl Suppress Plus. Other acrylic polymers that are suitable for use in this invention include Acronal NX 3717 (BASF) and Flex Bond 325 Emulsion (Air Products).
The surfactant used in this coating promotes enhanced wicking of the composition into the shingles. Surfactants, or surface-acting agents, are a broad category of compounds that facilitate and enhance the absorbing, emulsifying, dispersing, spreading, sticking, wetting or penetrating properties of various compositions, such as the coating of this invention. The absorption of the coating into the shingle prevents curling of the shingle edges, thereby reducing water infiltration into the roof substrate. The surfactant used in the coating includes at least one surfactant selected from the group consisting of anionic, nonionic, cationic, amphoteric, silicone, fluorinated, polymeric surfactants and mixtures thereof. The anionic surfactant includes, but is not limited to, the sulfated anionic surfactants, sulfonated anionic surfactants, sulfosuccinates, sulfosuccinamates, taurates, isethionates, salts of fatty acids, carboxylated alcohol ethoxylates, ether sulfates and combinations thereof. The nonionic surfactant includes, but is not limited to, the alkanolamides, amine oxides, alkoxylated alcohols, alkoxylated phenols, block polymers and co-polymers, alkoxylated amines, alkyl polysaccharides, glucosamides, sugar esters and combinations thereof. The cationic surfactant includes, but is not limited to, alkyl dimethylamines, alkyl amidopropylamines, alkyl imidazoline derivatives, quaternised amine ethoxylates, and quaternary ammonium compounds. The amphoteric surfactant includes but, is not limited to, the monoacetates, diacetates, betaines, glycinates, imidazolines, imidazoline derivatives, monopropionates, dipropionates, hydroxy sultaines and combinations thereof. The silicone surfactant includes, but is not limited to silicone oil, dimethyl polysiloxane, or any of the surfactants described above having a silicon atom or dimethyl-siloxane group replacing the hydrophobic portion of the surfactant. The inventors have found that the dimethylpolysiloxane is effective in the coatings described herein. Examples include SE 21 (Wacker Silicones) or Dow Corning 346 (Dow Corning). Other surfactants that may be useful include TERGITOL NP-9 (Union Carbide), TERGITOL XH (Union Carbide), PEG (Union Carbide), or Fluorosurfactant (3M). The silicone surfactant can be included in the sealing composition in amounts ranging between 0.001 to 10% by weight. Alternatively, the silicone surfactant can be present in the ranges of about 0.001% to about 0.005% by weight, about 0.01% to about 0.05% by weight, about 0.1% to about 1% by weight, or 0.01 to 4% by weight depending on the desired application of the sealing composition.
Additional compounds are added to the sealing composition based on the environment where the sealer will be used. In tropical and semi-tropical areas, these additives include at least one UV inhibitor, at least one biocide, and at least one curing agent. When individual asphalt molecules absorb UV radiation from sunlight, the molecule's vibration may cause the asphalt layer to wrinkle, buckle, crack and ultimately completely fracture. As a result, granular loss will occur making the shingle even more susceptible to UV damage. Even worse, fissures in the asphalt layer may allow water to penetrate into the organic mat/substrate causing the shingles to swell and subsequently shrink when dry. Additional stress would develop when the shingle freezes and thaws. Ultimately, the shingle would fail and the roof will leak requiring replacement. Although acrylic polymers have good UV inhibition, it is desirable to add a compound that provides additional protection in high sun areas. The UV inhibitor can be a UV blocker such as Hindered Amine Light Stabilizers (HALS) that act by scavenging the radical intermediates formed in the photo-oxidation process, or a UV absorber such as Tinuvin tetrasziole, 2-(2′-hydroxyphenyl)benzotriazoles, 2-hydroxybenzophenones, esters of substituted or unsubstituted benzoic acids or 2-(2-hydroxyphenyl)-1,3,5-triazines that act by shielding the polymer from ultraviolet light, or mixtures thereof. The inventors have found that 2-Hydroxy-4-n-octyloxybenzophenone (Ashland Chemical, Ciba Geigy) is particularly effective in sealers used in the southern United States. Typically, the UV inhibitor will be present in the sealing composition in an amount ranging between about 0.0001% by weight to about 15% by weight of the total composition. Alternatively, the UV inhibitor can be present in the ranges of about 0.0001% to about 0.0005% by weight, about 0.0001% to about 4% by weight, 0.001% to about 0.005% by weight, 0.01% to about 0.1% by weight, about 0.1% to about 0.5% by weight, or about 0.1% to about 1% by weight, depending on the desired application of the sealing composition.
There are many types of biocides available to kill algae, mold, and mildews that can occur on roof surfaces. These include antimicrobials, algaecides, bactericides, preservatives, or mixtures thereof. More particularly, the biocide is selected from the group consisting of:
1. halogenated organic compounds, such as 2,4,4′-trichloro-2′-hydroxydiphenyl ether; 2. organosulfur compounds, such as methylene-dithiocyanate, 2-N-octyl-4-isothiazolin-3-one, 3,5-dimethyl-tetrahydro-1,3,5-2H-thiodiazine-2-thione; 3. s-triazine compounds, such as 2-methylthio-4-tert-butylamino-6-cyclopropyl-amino-s-triazine; 4. copper or copper compounds, such as copper sulfate, copper nitrate, copper-bis(8-hydroxyquinoline); 5. organotin compounds, such as tributyltin oxide and its derivatives; and 6. bactericides, such as silver and zinc compounds, oxy-bis-phenoxyarsine. The inventors have found that the copper compounds, and in particular, copper sulfate is effective, both in the results it achieves and in keeping the cost of the sealer economical. Typically, the copper compound comprises about 0.001% to about 10% by weight of the composition. Alternatively, the copper compound may be present in the ranges of 0.001% to about 0.006% by weight, about 0.001% to about 0.06% by weight, about 0.01% to about 0.06% by weight, about 0.02% by weight to about 0.05% by weight, about 0.01% to about 1% by weight, or about 0.1% to about 5% by weight of a copper compound, depending on the desired application of the sealing compound.
Another additive often included in the inventive sealer is a curing agent. When the sealer is applied in very warm conditions, it is desirable to retard the curing time so as to allow the sealer to wick further into the shingles. An example of a suitable curing retard agent is ethylene glycol methyl butyl ether. Conversely, in colder environments, it may be desirable to add a curing agent that accelerates the cure time.
In view of the above, a typical composition for sealing and protecting asphalt shingles or other porous construction materials includes about 15% by weight to about 60% by weight of an acrylic polymer; about 0.01% by weight to about 10% by weight of a silicone surfactant; about 0.001% by weight to about 15% by weight of a UV inhibitor; about 0.001% by weight to about 10% by weight of an biocide, and water and/or other minor additives, preservatives or adjuvants comprising the remainder of the composition.
FIG. 1 shows the cross section of an asphalt shingle 10, half of which has been sealed with the inventive sealing composition. The left part of the shingle 20 has not been sealed while the right part 21 has been first washed and then protected with the inventive sealer. The shingle (20/21) includes a substrate 22, which is typically felt or fiberglass, upon which is placed an asphalt layer 23. Granular particles 24 are embedded into the asphalt layer 23. In the left part 20, particles of mold and algae 24 can be seen interspersed between the granules 26. Also in the left part 20, the asphalt base is shown exposed where the granules have been worn away. Conversely in the right part 21, a sealer 28 fills in the gaps left between the granules 24 and prevents mold and algae (not shown) from growing on the shingle. In addition, small fissures or cracks 29 in the asphalt layer 23 present at the time the sealing composition 28 is applied are filled in the right part 21 of the shingle. In contrast, the fissures/cracks 29 in the left part 20 remain open and unsealed.
FIG. 2 shows the top view of an asphalt shingle 30 that has been protected with the inventive sealer. As shown therein, the sealer 28 wicks into the shingles along the two side edges 32, 34 and the leading edge 36 (also referred to as the forward or bottom edge.) Depending on the amount of the sealer applied, the age of the shingles, and the ambient conditions under which the sealer is applied, the sealing composition may wick upwards beneath the shingle and penetrate the entire shingle up to the tar adhesion strip 38. Normally, the adhesive strip 38 on shingles is up to a few inches from the leading edge 36 which can allow the leading edge 36 to curl, providing an exposed edge for wind to lift. Coated shingles 30 are sealed on all edges (32, 34, and 36) which eliminates any exposed edges and provides a more aerodynamic surface that is more resistant to wind damage. Moreover, standard 110 mph rated shingles (such as shingle 30 in FIG. 2) have been shown in laboratory tests to actually increase their structural strength by 215% and to increase their wind resistance by 65%.
Preferably, the sealing composition is formulated such that it is capable of wicking into a shingle or other porous construction material and impregnating at least about 10% up to 99% of the surface area of the shingle or other material. In the case of asphalt shingles, at least about 20%, preferably at least 50% and more preferably at least 90% of the surface area of the shingle, along the two side edges and the leading edge of the shingle, is impregnated or otherwise absorbed by the shingle with the sealers described herein. Alternatively, the sealing composition is absorbed and fully adhered to the surface area of the shingle or other material in the ranges of 30% to 100%, 40% to 100%, 50% to 100%, 60% to 100%, 70% to 100%, 80% to 100%, 90% to 100%, or 95% to 100%.
Though not wishing to be limited to any theories, it is believed that the sealing composition increases the longevity of asphalt shingles and other roofing or construction materials by two separate mechanisms; first by reducing the effects of asphalt degradation by UV radiation and second, by providing a water-resistant barrier. Use of a combination of transparent UV blockers (Hindered Amine Light Stabilizers—HALS) and UV absorbers similar to those used in varnishes can provide superior protection and extended shingle life. These products are used in a 2:1 ratio of TINUVIN (Ciba Giegy 292 HALS) and one part of any of the 400 series TINUVIN tetrasziole UV blockers. HALS do not block UV, they mop up the excess free radicals create from UV oxidation. In contrast, the Teratraziole UV blockers absorb the UV light similar to opaque pigments but remain clear additives, thereby preventing discoloration of the roofing surface. This combination provides excellent protection to the asphalt and helps it retain its plasticity.
With respect to the water resistant barrier provided by the sealer composition, contact of bulk water with the asphalt membrane is prevented, thereby preventing low molecular weight asphalt fractions from leaching out of the asphalt. Moreover, the sealing composition prevents contact of water with the organic substrate layer, thus eliminating the formation of ice and freeze thaw changes in the asphalt membranes. Water infusion into the organic substrate would also cause degradation of the substrate via biological attack. In general, the sealing composition of the present invention acts more like a fully adhered functional membrane than merely a paint type coating. Studies conducted have demonstrated that greater than 75% of initial elongation properties were retained even after 5 years exposure, versus no sealing or coatings using pigmented coated which tend to be much thicker and weaker in their chemical compositions while reducing adhesion qualities due to the addition of these fillers. These heavier viscosity coatings are unable to be wicked upwards into the shingle structure.
The process to apply the sealing compositions described above is dependent on the type and structure of material to which the sealer is being applied and to the ambient conditions. For asphalt shingles, it is desirable to provide a sealer that imparts rigidity to the shingle and provides a sufficient barrier to water, wind and airborne particles. A film of the dried sealer in the range of 1 to 8 mils provides these functions. The inventors have found that a dried film of 2 to 6 mils is desirable, while about 4 mils is preferred. Because the sealers of the present invention are water based, they must be applied to account for the shrinkage due to the evaporation of the water. In order to achieve a dried film of about 4 mils, a wet film of about 6 to 10 mils needs to be applied initially.
Steeper roofs may require two smaller applications of the inventive sealers so as to minimize runoff losses. As an example, roofs having a pitch of 6 inches in 12 inches or greater will typically require two applications/coatings. In general, it is preferred that the first coating/sealer is the thickest to maximize the amount of sealing composition that penetrates the shingle. As such, the first coating/sealer provides most of the desired adhesion between the granules and the asphalt/substrate matrix while the second coating/sealer is a monolithic membrane that provides additional protection. Conversely, roofs having a pitch of 5 inches in 12 inches or less can often be adequately sealed in a single application/coating. Moreover, the sealing compositions of this invention are very effective on low aspect roofs, which is typically considered to be roofs having pitches of 1 to 3 inches per 12 inches.
The type of construction material and its age will affect the amount of sealer that will need to be applied to achieve the desired thickness. In general, the typical application rate for asphalt shingles or cementatious/clay tiles is about 75 ft2 per gallon to about 125 ft2 per gallon, with the average being about 100 ft2 per gallon. Older shingles and tiles may require additional amounts since they are more porous and more of the sealing material will be needed to achieve the desired thickness. The amount of material to be applied to other construction materials such as concrete floors or walls is less critical since wind resistance is not normally a concern.
In general, any type of conventional liquid applicator systems can be used to apply the composition including air sprayers, airless sprayers, hand sprayers, brushes, rollers or other applicators. In the case of asphalt shingles, the inventors have found that airless sprayers using a high volume, low pressure spray application provides the best application. The airless sprayer provides a more even sealing and promotes migration on and between the shingles. An example of an airless sprayer that works well with the inventive compositions is manufactured by Grayco. The Grayco sprayer operates at a pressure of 200 to 1800 psi. Low pressure sprayers operating at approximately 0 to 60 psi and at a flow rate between 2 to 6 gpm can also be used. An advantage of using a lower pressure sprayer is lower losses of the sealing material to the environment due to atomization. Single nozzle or multi-nozzle applicators can also be used to apply a uniform application of the sealing composition.
The compositions of this invention can be applied to newly installed construction materials as well as existing materials. It is highly recommended that existing structures be washed or otherwise cleaned prior to the application of the inventive compositions. For example, roofs that have been installed longer than 12 months should be power washed or cleaned in some other fashion to remove any organic materials such as algae, mildew, mold and dirt that may have accumulated on the surface.
The following examples illustrate the superior wind resistance and lack of damage that can be achieved by applying the inventive sealing compositions to installed or new asphalt shingles or cementatious/clay tiles. These examples are meant for illustrative purposes only and are not to be construed to limit the scope of the instant invention in any way whatsoever.
The following compounds are illustrative of the invention described above:
ROOF-GUARD 101 ™
ROOF-GUARD 102 ™
Dimethylpoly-
UV 2-Hydroxy-4-n-
0.0001 to 4
octyloxybenzo-
15-30 dynes/cm
Roof-Guard 101™ shown above in Tables 1 and 2 is formulated primarily for asphalt shingle roofs while Roof-Guard 102™ is for use primarily with clay, cementatious/concrete, or barrel tile roofs.
Owens Corning Classic AR20 Three Tab Asphalt Shingles coated with Enviroseal Corporation Roof-guard 101™ Protective Sealer for shingles were tested in accordance with Florida Building Code (HVHZ) Test Protocol TAS 100-95, Test procedure for wind and wind driven rain resistance of discontinuous roof systems (PRI Asphalt Technologies, Tampa Fla.; test report May 5, 2005, test date Apr. 28, 2005.) The shingles used in this test were rated as 60 mph wind resistance. The roof surface used during this test had a 3 inch on 12 inch pitch. The Roof-Guard 101™ Protective Sealer was applied at a rate of 1.33 gallons per 100 square feet (75 ft2/gal). The following results were achieved under this test:
8.8 in/hr
110 mph 8.8
As can be seen from Table 3, the shingles coated with the inventive composition did not lift or experience any type of failure, even under extreme wind conditions. Under this test protocol, the ability to withstand 110 mph continuous wind conditions is equivalent to being able to withstand 130 mph gusts. Furthermore, the integrity of the coated shingles did not allow any water infiltration through the deck sheathing.
Aged existing shingles (installed for 12 years) and new shingles were tested under ASTM D4491, Water Permeability of Geotextiles, Constant Head Method. This test is used for determining the hydraulic conductivity (water permeability) of geotextiles in terms of permittivity under standard testing conditions, in the uncompressed state. Both the aged and new shingles were treated using Roof-Guard 101™. Deviations from the standard included laboratory temperatures at 22±3° C., laboratory humidity at 50±15%, and oxygen content of the water was 6±2 ppm. The test results were corrected to 20° C. The following results were obtained from this test:
between untreated (gal/
and treated like
min/ft2)
12 yr shingle -
New shingle -
As seen from Table 4, treated shingles that are both aged 12 years and new show decreased permeability over the untreated shingles. In the case of aged shingles, the improvement in lower permeability was 29.8% while the new shingles showed a 17.1% improvement.
The sealing compositions and application methods described above can be used on any porous construction material used in numerous applications including, but not limited to, roofs, floors, walls, structural supports, foundations, roads, driveways, or any surface containing asphalt. The features disclosed in the foregoing description, or the following claims, or the accompanying drawings, expressed in their specific forms or in terms of a means for performing the disclosed function, or a method or process for attaining the disclosed result, as appropriate, may, separately, or in any combination of such features, be utilized for realizing the invention in diverse forms thereof.

Grandma Honey: What a Dad
Posted by Grandma Honey at 9:20 PM
Wow! I am impressed with everybody. Logan is awesome. I love the way he is teaching the kids. Wish we had more parents like that out there. Good for you for buying 20. I would have only bought 1 or 2 because I really don't eat it either. I guess you could give them as gifts to people.
I hope you get the courage to tell us what happened with Brock.
Oh, my goodness, 700 candy bars! I can't imagine! What a great family to all pull together!
And kudos to the daughter that didn't want to do it but is sacrificing anyway!
And they are well on their way to reaching the goal!
Jayden just got his World's Finest today, but so far we only took two boxes and we'll see how that goes.
Great post and you look wonderful with those babies on your lap!
And please get up your courage because now you have my curiosity up!
That's an incredible turn around on those candy bars! I'd like some AND I EAT them! What time are they going to be at Save Mart tomorrow? Or should I call them to reserve some bars? Lemmeknow.
Well Logan is working back to back shifts all this week, so I'm not sure when they will get back there to sell the rest. But Lisa, I have 6 candy bars left and I will give them to you on Sunday, okay? I've been trying to find homes for all of them!
Eileen...funny how you are across the US yet Jayden is selling the same candy!
Get up that courage, because I'm waiting with bated breath to hear "the rest of the story!"
I feel like "What a Dad" needs some kind of punctuation
I loved this post! I smiled throughout the entire reading. Way to go Logan for teaching such a good lesson to the kids. Will you take mail orders???? We'd be happy to help finish off a few! :)
Do the bars have nuts in them? Your dad is off sweets, but I'm not if you're looking for homes for them.
Kudos to Logan!
What a great dad. I love that picture of you with the twins=) They are so darn cute. I saw a little girl in the mother's lounge who looked so familiar to me. After racking my brain for a minute I realized she looked just like Tea (I don't know how to make the "e" right). On the off chance that it was her I asked the baby's name. It was Aubrey. Ah, well...You're such a great grandma and I love how Dennis is so willing to run on over to the grocery store at a minutes notice. So sweet.
And speaking of sweet, you should do a blog giveaway with the candy bars, that's my vote=)
What a wonderful, inspirational event. I also love your photo with Jonas and Tea. So, so precious.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO BROCK, I thought of you yesterday.
Do I know the 1988 camp story?! I probably have the letter around here someplace. Anyway, I did not know that you do not eat chocolate, WHY?
I'm allergic to chocolate...it swells the glands in my neck...so I don't eat it.
Oh and Pam, thank you for remembering Brock's birthday yesterday! One of the highlights to me, was Erin calling to thank me for giving birth to him!!
This is funny. I just wonder how much candy bars will be selling for when the twins go to camp?
Logan is a great father to do all of this. I remember those "candy bar days" from when the boys were in little league baseball and had to sell them. Those were fun days.
6th Grade camp at Sonora reminds of the year Wendy went with Robins class but ended up the chaperon on an all boy bus. The dads who knew better just let her do it and learn for herself that it would be a long, hot, loud, smelly trip...she never complained about birthing just girls again.
Tell it. Be brave!
And what's this about you not eating chocolate? I wish I'd inherited that gene! I work for chocolate, l.ol. Great photos. You look so cute holding your twin grandbabies! You guys are terrific grandparents. You wouldn't have had to twist my are to buy all that chocolate!
Did they reach their goal? I would be happy to contribute!
Let me know, I could send a check. And you could keep the candy bars, share them with friends, grandkids or leave them on someone's doorstep.
That's a LOT of candy bars. I'm glad they've sold so many already. So great that they're working together. Too bad they don't live near me cuz I DO like chocolate. :)

Jim and Sarah have a beautiful place blocks from the beach. They are amazing hosts with great communication and willing to go out of their way to make your stay perfect. The place is a great getaway to the beach, they are more than accommodating with offering of beach chairs, towels, cart and umbrella. The washer and dryer are a great bonus so your not overpacking. Tv's are huge and easy to catch up on your netflix shows when the day is too hot to go out. Overall a great place to stay. LOVED IT and highly recommend it.
Rented the condo for a month, but we found the accommodations unsuitable, so we left after 10 days. One of the 2 full size beds was to firm to sleep on. The kitchen had no exhaust fan and the condo complex was very noisy on the weekend. Hosts were very nice.
I had the pleasure of staying at David's SPI home just last week. The house was extremely comfortable and roomy enough for our party of 4 adults and 3 kids. The beds are comfy, the kitchen is super well equipped and huge! There's lots of beach gear and pool toys to play with. The beach access is a super short walk away and it was a great draw to have the pool at the house. The grill is super big and we used it a couple of times. David could not have been a more perfect and responsive host. I've been going to SPI since I was a baby and this stay was so comfortable end memorable! Definitely worth it over a hotel with a crowded pool! I definitely recommend!
David’s place is perfectly located near Blackbeards, Wanna Wanna and the beach. Lounging by the pool after a day at the beach was fantastic. The house was larger than we expected and fully stocked with everything we needed including a koozie drawer!
The house was near the beach and walking distance from one of the good restaurants. The host was very responsive. We took our little dog and she was okay as the area is quiet so, not too much distraction. We intend to use this residence on our next trip to SPI.
Condo was nice and clean. Beach, restaurants and dollar store was in walking distance.

In other good news, we are finally germ free at our home. We went through two rough weeks of sickness thanks to the good old southern weather. One day it was 70 degrees and the next we went below zero. Spring is nearing, though, and the weather is finally warming for good. I don't think I've ever been as happy to see the blooming flowers. I can't wait to start planting our garden here at our new home. We have the perfect spot for flowers and some yummy tomato plants.
We'd love to hear it. Leave a comment below and let us know. If you have a blog, be sure to link up and share your good news each week, too, by clicking a link above to one of the hosts. Have a great day!

Pyjama Reader: Pop Culture References in Books
After reading a book that alluded to songs that were supposedly popular but not actually saying either a real name or a fake name of a band and song I started thinking about how authors deal with pop culture references in books.
For instance, in Meg Cabot’s Princess Diaries books she actually refers to the real life artists etc. There is a mention of Britney Spears in the books. Other books refer to products such as iPhone’s etc. This tends to add in a realistic feel to it. However, it also dates the books. I do know of instances where some of the books have been updated to go with the changes but those are in the minority.
I don’t have any examples off the top of my head but there are some books that make up pop culture in the books universe and talk about those as being what’s in or popular at the time. One example I can think of is the Airhead books by Meg Cabot, they feature celebrity Gabriel Luna.
Then there are the other ones that just allude to some singer or song being popular without actually mentioning a name or title. I can’t really think of any books off the top of my head but there are some that do.
It’s something that I’ve often thought about and it makes me wonder which one is better to do and I think that in some situations the different ones are better. I think that the one I’m the least favourable of is the one that mentions the actual pop culture reference such as Britney Spears etc. because it does date the book a little bit although it doesn’t bother me as much as it could.
I think that I prefer the ones where they actually don’t mention a name or title or anything like that at all because it means that you can imagine it for yourself depending on when you read the book.
Anyway, those are my thoughts on pop culture references in books. Do you have any thoughts to add?

Look at the hours of work that must have been necessary to create this jacket. Clothes like these really were only for the rich. Even a day dress had much in the way of pin-tucks, insertions and frills to be sewn by some poor seamstress.
And you needed a maid to get into it as it is fastened down the back with buttons and hooks and eyes. Even elegant footwear must have been a struggle to get on unaided.
And as for evening wear- this dress is believed to have been designed by Worth, one of the most famous designers of the time, for a rich American client. However this exhibition closes on 17 August 2014. Luckily you have until 2 November 2014 to get to the Palais Galleriathe and the exhibition on French Couture in the 1950's. Unfortunately absolutely no photography was allowed at this exhibition but you will see some images on another blog here. This blog seems to indicate that it is only Christian Dior garments but it includes over 100 items from many different couturiers including Gres, Balenciaga, Cardin, Vionnet, Chanel, Schiaparelli, Piguet and many more. It included both day and evening wear, swimwear, lingerie plus hats and other accessories. Well worth a visit and I would have loved to get the hefty hard back catalogue but it was almost 45 Euros.

letters to my little love...: Throwback Thursday: It all started with some vests
Throwback Thursday: It all started with some vests
I just watched a video on Facebook of URI RAs in at a bowling alley in costume. They had an entire acapella performance to go with their costumes. It was truly amazing.
Once upon a time, I was an RA. When I started, we didn't have staff bowling. After two weeks of training, we had a staff cruise night. Traning was an intense time of learning & preparing (& fun too), & the RA cruise was a great way to unwind. We dressed up & mingled with all the RA friends we had made that summer.
My last year as an RA, it was announced that the RA cruise would be replaced with RA bowling. I was bummed. I'm not really a bowler. I mean, I'll go with friends, but I mostly feel ehhh about it. And what about dressing up n a cute dress & taking pretty photos? My staff wondered how we could bring a little more fun into bowling night.
It all started with some vests. I'm not sure where we even found them. I mean, what store was selling cheesy black vests in bulk? I'm not sure if we were going for Grease's T-Birds or tough bikers, but we bought the vests & decorated them with puffy paint. We gave ourselves nicknames that we painted on the front of the vests. Then we bowled. We bowled & we laughed at ourselves...because no one else was wearing funny vests. No one else was dressed up at all. It was a great night. The Barlow staff had found a way to make bowling fun.
I returned to RA training the next year as a Graduate Assistant Hall Director. Not willing to let go of finding something fun to do while bowling, I told my staff about our vests from the previous year. My staff was so amazing & so fun. They jumped right on the idea of dressing up. We made tshirts & bought neon visors (where did we ever find those). We wore boxer shorts & knee high socks. We looked ridiculous...& we laughed at ourselves because, again, no one else was dressed in silly costume. We got a lot of stares that year, but we got the Director of Housing to wear one of our visors & had TONS of fun. It was a good night.
The next year, there were whispers from all over about dressing up for bowling night. My staff went with a theme that was easy to put together but had a lot of shock value...we dressed like we were heading to the shower. There were towels (I wore a strapless dress under mine) & shower caps & loofahs. It was amazing. Guess what?! We weren't the only ones to dress up that year. There were other staffs in their own themed outfits too. It was so freaking fun!
My last year at URI RA training, my staff & I all dressed up as Hillbilly's. We had so much fun getting our costumes together. As we walked outside to join the others at the busses, I think my mouth dropped open. All the staffs were walking out from their buildings...in costume! Even the Hall Directors dressed up. The costume themse were thoughtful & funny & amazing. That night bowling was truly fun (& hilarious)!
It's been a long time since I participated in RA bowling night, but once each summer I see photos posted on Facebook. Costume bowling night is so much bigger & more elaborate now. It's pretty amazing. It puts a smile on my face as I think of all the RA staffs that came before. I think of the amazing staffs I got to work with & how they made bowling fun. Sigh, it pretty amazing what a few cheesy vests & some great people can start.
jes [a mountain bride]August 28, 2014 at 7:52 AMWow! I had no idea that our fun spirit caught on! I remember everyone thinking we were the weirdos...with our games and spirit and cheering....it was weird I guess...but weird can be so fun. ReplyDeleteRepliesletters to my little loveAugust 29, 2014 at 8:44 AMOh Jes, you should see it now! Every staff dresses up & performs. We were actually tame compared to what it is now. Ha! So fun to think a bunch of weirdos started it all :)DeleteReplyAdd commentLoad more...

Rhodesia Plans a Lobbying Drive on Capitol Hill - The Washington Post
Rhodesia Plans a Lobbying Drive on Capitol Hill
By David Ottaway January 3, 1979
Rhodesia is planning to launch a major lobbying campaign beginning in January to convince the U.S. Congress to lift economic sanctions on the beseiged country and recocgnize elections scheduled in April to establish a moderate, black majority government here.
Whth 75 percent of Rhodesia now under martial law and the guerrilla war closing in on the capital itself, white Rhodesian authorities appear to be counting heavily on making a diplomatic breakthrough with the United States to save the present white-led transitional government.
While this may seem abroad to be grasping for last straws and largely irrelevant to the outcome, the Rhodesians feel that any sign of support from Congress or the U.S. government will be a tremendous morale booster at home and encourage other countries, such as South, africa and some in Europe, to follow suit.
"Let's face it," said one high-ranking white government official, "Britain is a spent forece and what really counts for us now is Capitol Hill."
Britain, the former colonial power here, has never accepted the white Rhodesians' unilateral declaration of independence in 1965 that has led to the current political impasse and nationalist guerrilla war. Repeated Rhodesian efforts to reach a constitutional settlement and gain diplomatic recognition from various British governments since then all have ended in failure.
The U.S. government also has refused to recognize Rhodesia's independence. But there is a substantial faction in Congress known to be sympathetic to the Rhodesian cause and supportive of efforts here to establish a moderate black government in which whites would still exercise considerable economic and political power.
The Carter administration, together with the British Labor Party government, has been attempting since March to convene a peace conference attended by both leaders of the Rhodesian government and the Africanand communist-backed nationalist guerrillas fighting to topple it. Combined British-American deplomacy, however, so far has failed to achieve this goal, leaving the United States in a dilemma, without a clear policy alternative.
There is every indication that a major struggle will take place in the coming Congress between the Carter administration and supporters of Rhodesia first over bypassing the economic sanctions imposed on the rebel country by the United Nations in 1965-66 and then over whether to recognize the April 20 elections, which the nationalist guerrillas are certain to boycott.
Sources here and in Washington believe that one of the chief strategists for the Rhodesian lobbying campaign will be John Carbough, a top aide to the conservative Sen. Jesse Helms (R-N.C.). He is reported to have been the mastermind behind much of the maneuvering this past year to get Congress to pass pro-Rhodesian amendments.
Another person who may well play a preminent role in the Rhodesia campaign is Donald De Kieffer, who worked as a lobbyist for the south African government until the recent information scandal there.
It is not known for sure here whether De Keiffer has been hired officially by the Rhodesian government to lobby on its behalf on Capitol Hill, but he is known to have visited here in Mid-October and met with some resident Americans who are active in promoting the Rhodesian cause.
Rhodesian authorities seem extermely optimistic about the prospects of forcing the Carter administration to change its Rhodesia policy through a high-powered lobbying campaign.
Already, they feel the visit to the United States in October of Prime Minister Ian Smith and his three black colleagues in the ruling Executive Council here was a big step forward in selling the American public on Rhodesia.
While most U.S. newspapers seem to have concluded that Smith gained little by his visit, strategists of Rhodesian foreign policy estimate it to have been "a 60 to 70 percent success."
They list as positive gains in their effort to sway the American public and Congtess Smith's agreement at the end of his two-week stay to attend a British-American sponsored peace conference "without preconditions." They feel the effect of this was to make the government here appear "reasonable" and willing to talk while the guerrilla leaders and some of their key African backers were backing off from going to a conference on these terms.
Moreover, Smith's accetpance put the State Department very much on the defensive in trying to get leaders of the guerrilla Patroitic Front, Joshua Nkomo and Robert Mugabe, to attend a peace conference.
Perhaps most important in their eyes, Smith and the three black internal leaders met one of the two conditions laid down by Congress last summer for eventual U.S. recognition by agreeing to talk to the guerrilla leaders. The other condition was the holding of "free and fair" elections for black majority rule.
Also regarded here as good tactics during the Smith visit to the United States were the Rhodesian raids on nationalist guerrilla camps deep into Zambia and Mozambique. The attacks, Rhodesian strategists feel, showed the American public that contrary to wide belief, the Rhodesian armed forces are not on the verge of military defeat and still pack a powerful punch.
Other positive gains, according to these Rhodesians, were the vast number of personal contacts that Smith and his colleagues made on Capitol Hill; the overall "good" exposure they got on all the major television networks; and the strenthening of their political base among conservatives in Congress.
Finally, the very fact that Smith was finally allowed into the United States is being interpreted here as tantamount to de facto recongnition of the biracal transitional government.
As these Rhodesian foreign policymakers analyze the political landscape in the new Congress, they see Rhodesia on the threshold of a breakthrough. They calculate, for example, that around 42 senators will now be favorably disposed to lifting economic sanctions, or at least to buying Rhodesian chrome -- as the United States did in violation of U.N. sanctions during the last years of the Nixon-ford administrations.
Congressional sources say this callculation may not be too far off. If so, the Rhodesian lobbyists only need to win over a handful of additional senators to get the Senate to agree on lifting sanctions wholly or partly.
As for the House, the Rhodesians now feel they could swing a vote in their favor on the sanctions issue withoug too much trouble. Without disagreeing outright with this assessment, congressional sources say pro-Rhodesian sentiment in the new House is still very difficult to measure.
Whatever the precise count, the Rhodesians seem extremely confident of making serious inroads into the Carter administration's policy of holding the line on giving any U.S. backing to the Rhodesian transitional government over the coming months.
But U.S. officials counter that much will depend upon how much time and energy the White House is willing to sepnd on upholding its present Rhodesian policy. At the very least, they assert, the administration should be able to hold the line until the April elections in Rhodesia.
