"My professor said this is on reserve": E-reserves vs. books on reserve
During your first few classes, you likely had a professor or two mention that the readings or textbooks for the course are on reserve at the library. Or at the library. Or on course reserves. Or on e-reserves.
These mysterious utterances seem to mean pretty much the same thing, however, they can actually have one of several meanings:
1) Your readings were ordered by your professor to be made available electronically for you and your classmates. This means they are on e-reserve a.k.a. course reserves. To access your course reserves, go to the library homepage, look under library services, and click on "course reserves." Sign in with your UNI. Then you should see a screen that looks like this:
Click on "my classes" in the top right corner. Select a course from the drop-down box in the left sidebar. If your professor put readings on e-reserve / course reserves, then they should appear when you choose your course. This is most likely the method your professor used to give you access to chapters and articles as opposed to entire books.
2) The second possibility is that your professor asked that a particular physical book be placed on reserve for you and your classmates at the front desk of the library. This is likely the case if it's an entire textbook or perhaps a DVD. To find out if that book/resource is "on reserve" here at the front desk, open up the TC catalog EDUCAT and search for the book/resource by title or author. When you see the book/resource you're looking for, take a look at right side of the catalog record under "Location." If it says "on reserve," the book is, indeed, on reserve at the front desk. You can come and ask one of us at the front desk for it. When you do, it's most helpful if you tell us the call number, which is listed in the middle of the catalog record under "Call No." If it says "main" or "oversize" for the location, then the book is not on reserve but rather in the stacks. Ask us at the front desk for a stacks directory to locate exactly where the book is.
To illustrate the difference between books in the main stacks and books on reserve, here is an example search for The Great Gatsby in the TC catalog (EDUCAT). The following catalog records come up:
As you can see, the first book's location is "main," meaning it can be found in the main stacks. The second book's location is "on reserve," meaning you can get it at the front desk. Write down the call number (here, PZ3.F5754 Tj c.4), give it to us at the front desk, and we'll get the book for you.
Another important thing to be aware of is that books on reserve can only be checked out for two hours at a time. If you need it for longer, just come to the desk within those two hours and–in the case that no one else has asked for it–we can renew it for you.
3) The third and most rare possibility is that your professor has some documents in a special folder set aside for your class here at the front desk. This might be the case if the professor wants to make some non-library materials available to the class, such as example projects from previous semesters or non-library audio/visual material. In this case, just give us your professor's name, we'll go get the folder, and then you can tell us what exactly you need out of it.
Finally, if your professor has placed resources on reserve, you do not need to order the books or chapters or articles yourself on e-reserves! If you want to order books for some other reason, here is a guide on how to do so "How To: Requesting Materials for e-reserve."

Artist Interview
Name: Sandra Chevrier
Age: 33
Birthday: September 23rd
College: University of Quebec in Montreal
Favorite Color: Changes like a mood ring, today i'd go with Burgundy.
Favorite Book: Le livre de l'intranquilité de Fernando Pessoa
Favorite Movie: Blue is the warmest color
Favorite Food: Coffee.
Favorite Quote: ''D'ailleurs je ne rêve, je ne vis rien d'autre que la vie réelle. Tous les vaisseaux sont des vaisseaux de rêves, dès lors qu'il est en notre pouvoir de les rêver. Ce qui tue le rêveur, c'est de ne pas vivre quand il rêve; ce qui gêne l'homme d'action, c'est de ne pas rêver quand il vit. J'ai fondu en une seule couleur de bonheur la beauté du rêve et la réalité de la vie. Nous avons beau posséder un rêve, nous ne le possédons jamais autant que le mouchoir qui se trouve dans notre poche ou, si l'on veut que notre propre chair. On a beau faire de sa vie une action pleine, démesurée, triomphale, on ne peut s'empêcher d'éprouver le [choc] du contact avec les autres, de trébucher sur des obstacles, même minimes et de sentir le temp qui passe.
Tuer le rêve, c'est nous tuer nous-mêmes. C'est mutiler notre âme. Le rêve c'est ce que nous possédons de plus intimement nôtre, de plus impénétrablement, inexpugnablement nôtre.
L'Univers, la Vie-réels ou illusoires- sont à tout le monde. Chacun peut voir ce que je vois, posséder ce que je possède-ou, tout au moins, se l'imaginer.
Mais ce que je rêve, nul autre que moi ne peut le voir, nul autre ne peut le posséder. Et si ma vision du monde extérieur diffère de la vision des autres, cela provient de tout ce que, sans le vouloir, je mets de mon rêve dans ma façon de voir, et tout ce qui, de mon rêve vient se coller à mes yeux et mes oreilles.'' Fernando Pessoa
Why are you an artist, and when did you first become one?
Art to me is not only a way of expression, it is a language on its own. Its been mine since the beginning of my story.
Can we talk a bit about your process at the beginning of a project? How do you conceive of it? How do you build it in your mind before you start?
The process changed over the years, I've recently stopped working with the comic book themselves but only use paint. That was my first intention when i started to work on this series, i would do studies and eventual would use them to create all acrylics paintings. Creativity is the result of experimentation and evolution.
When I find an idea that I love, I want to play with it until I have no more fun, and the Cage series opened me to a lot of different horizons.
What's the best advice anyone gave you? Someone told me i was lucky to have found a passion, to have found something that i love so much that it makes me dream. Since that day, i've been very careful to always remember that this is what Art is for me, not a job, not a career, not a market; a passion.
Do you suffer for your art? I dont ''suffer'' for it, nonetheless i think any kind of feelings, including pain and suffering is a great source of inspiration. It is a direct vessel from the heart to the canvas.
How would you define yourself as an artist? My Art is the expression of who i am.A dance between reality and imagination, truth and deception, poison and cure.
What inspires you to work? The beauty in tragedies
You seem to use a lot of symbols in your work. Do your works tell stories or are they simply decorative elements of the project?
With work demanding to be dissected beyond it's surface value, my portraits are quite literally torn between the fantastical heroics and iconography of comic books and the harsher underlying tragedy of oppressed female identity and the exposed superficial illusion therein. Exhibiting a male-dominated world within the 'Cages' series, my subjects denounce the role given to the female counterpart therein, refusing to play the part of seducer or victim.
The images used within the 'cages' range from scenes of conflict, triumph and defeat. I choose to highlight the fragility of the superhero, their own struggles and weaknesses, exposing the humanity within the superhuman.
Despite all the playfulness of the thing itself and all the "CRASH BAM POW," superheroes are also fragile. We are merely human; men and women and we are entitled to the flaws and errors.
What famous artists have influenced you, and how?
Ive been moved to tears when i was 14 years old by ''The detritus of devotion'' by Heidi Taillefer. I understood that day the power of Art.
To name a few…. Rudy Nappi, Robert Maguire, Robert McGinnis.
What other interests do you have outside of art?
Music, flea markets, clothes and my son in #1!
You seem to be very aware of the history of works. Where do you see films, photo exhibitions, art perfomances today?
I travel a lot and every time i discover a new city i will make sure to visit the galleries and museums or see if there is any Art events while i am there that i can attend.
How would your life change if you were no longer allowed to create art?
I'd feel empty or deprived of a part of myself.
What are your next projects? Lots going on, booked with exhibitions till 2019. But meanwhile im working on a couple of new things; different materials, exploring and experimenting, pushing the series a little further and having fun! You can find informations on my upcoming exhibitions on my website www.sandrachevrier.com

Solitary Confinement
Perhaps the single most barbaric aspect of mass incarceration in California is the cruel practice of assigning inmates to solitary confinement. This practice, affecting as many as 6,000 inmates at any given time, has been judged inhumane and unacceptable by human rights experts. The cruelty of the practice is underscored by its arbitrariness: people are "validated" for solitary not because of their gang affiliation or actual misconduct in prison but because they manage to run afoul of all-powerful corrections officers. People of faith must join forces with the families of those in solitary to put an end to this shameful abuse of human beings.

My Published Research
Hi there. To make things a little easier on people interested in what I've been up to, I've organized my published papers under broad subject headings and have included brief descriptions of what happens in them.
Almost all of these papers can also be downloaded via my CV, and the full publication information is located there. But you can download the papers here as well.
Being, Existence, Reality
Around late 2006 I began to get really interested in questions about the nature of being. The overarching questions that really interested me (and continue to interest me!) are (1) whether everything is in the same way or whether there are different ways to be and (2) whether some things are more than others.
I have written a book on this stuff, which is titled The Fragmentation of Being. Here is a list of the table of contents:
1. Ways of Being
2. A Return to the Analogy of Being
3. Ways of Being and Time
4. Categories of Being
5. Being and Almost Nothingness
6. Persons and Value
7. Degrees of Being
8. Being and Ground
9. Being and Essence
Concluding Unsystematic Postscript
There are also a number of papers on these topics. Some of them were revised and incorporated into the above book.
"Ways of Being" was the first paper to come out of this period. In it I do three things. First, I show how contemporary metaphysicians can make sense of the doctrine that there are ways of being by appealing to the notions of naturalness (developed by David Lewis and Ted Sider) and restricted quantification. Second, I explain the meta-ontology of Martin Heidegger circa Being and Time in terms of the framework I develop. Third, I discuss some and defuse some common objections to the view that there are ways of being. Finally, I propose possible avenues of further research.
In "A Return to the Analogy of Being" I develop two general sufficient conditions for when a philosophically interesting property is an analogous property. Roughly, an analogously property is something like a disjunctive property, but which has more unity than a merely disjunctive property. (You'll have to read the paper to get something less rough than that, I'm afraid.) If a philosophically interesting property is an analogous property, it's not a perfectly natural property and some specifications of it are more natural than it is. After developing these two sufficient conditions and illustrating them by appealing to certain views I have about the parthood relations, I turn to whether being or existence are analogous properties and argue that, given certain popular metaphysical views, they are.
In "Being and Almost Nothingness" I explore the idea that some things exist more than others. For me, the paradigmatic examples of objects that are but are less than fully real are holes and shadows. I call such entities "almost nothings" because it is an apt name but also because this way I could have a really cool paper title. Anyways, using the frame work developed earlier in "Ways of Being" I show both how to make sense of the idea that some entities have less being than others but also how my way of making sense of this idea matches on to ideas found in the work of Aquinas and Suarez.
In "Degrees of Being" I argue that either the notion of naturalness and the notion of degree of being are inter-definable or naturalness should be understood in terms of the metaphysically prior notion that some entities have more being than others. I also argue that there is no reason to postulate a primitive grounding relation linking entities to entities since the notion of degree of being is sufficient to do the work that this sort of grounding relation is called to employ.
In "Ontological Pluralism and the Question of Why There is Something Rather than Nothing" I discuss ways in which the views that there are modes of being and degrees of being complicate the question of why there is something rather than nothing.
In "Existence and Number", I critically evaluate what I take to be the most promising argument for the view that existence is not a property of individuals, but is rather a higher-order property of some sort. This argument is Frege's argument from the analogy of attributions of existence and number. I argue that this argument fails.
"Pasnau on Category Realism: Remarks on Robert Pasnau's Metaphysical Themes 1274-1671" is a revised version of my comments on Robert Pasnau's ginormous tome, originally presented at a Pacific Division meeting of the American Philosophical Association. In this commentary, I discuss Pasnau's interpretations of the ontological schemes of several historical figures with an eye towards the relevance of these schemes to contemporary concerns.
Finally, "Trenton Merricks'Truth and Ontology" is a critical study of Trenton's book, but since there is some stuff concerning being discussed in it, I moved this study here.
Some of the papers in the section on history of philosophy also touch on these issues.
My dissertation director was Phillip Bricker and his dissertation director was David Lewis. So an interest in modality is inscribed in my philosophical DNA.
In "Modal Realism with Overlap" I develop a version of modal realism in which objects are wholly present at more than one world. The view developed here is the modal analogue of endurantism. I also develop this view in the context of a pluralism about part-whole relations, a pluralism that Lewis himself rejected.
The goal of "Modal Realisms" is to develop the best version of possibilism by subjecting each of a series of different versions of possibilism to argumentative pressure and then showing how its successor view deflates that pressure. Just as in "Modal Realism with Overlap", in the context of developing the versions of possibilism I engage in wider metaphysical disputes. Specifically, in this paper, I also develop a view of spacetime as a collection of spacetime points construed as tropes, a view of possible worlds as clusters of tropes (including but not limited to spacetime point-tropes), and a view of tropes in which the tropes are kind of like universals.
"Are There Essential Properties? Yes." This is a co-written paper with Steve Steward. We defend genuine essential properties from recent arguments by Meghan Sullivan.
I wrote "Discrete Space and Distance" as a graduate student. It makes a small point, namely that given Lewis's views about recombination and spatial relations, there are possible worlds in which space is discrete and yet the Pythagorean theorem is true – contrary to the so-called Weyl-Tile argument that concluded that the Pythagorean theorem must fail if space is discrete. I have a funny story about the slings and arrows involved in getting this paper (accepted for publication in 2002 or 2003?) in print.
Mereology and Persistence
With respect to persistence through time, I am broadly sympathetic with a kind of endurantism. With respect to mereology, I am a compositional pluralist – I think there is more than one fundamental parthood relation. I'm also interested in the relation between composition and identity, though I don't think that relation is identity!
In "Structure-Making" I explore the nature of fact-composition. D.M. Armstrong's theory of fact-composition and his version of compositional pluralism are critically evaluated.
"Against Composition as Identity". Well, the name says it all I guess. I argue that composition as identity is incompatible with the possibility of emergent properties (as characterized in the paper) and so should be rejected.
In "Compositional Pluralism and Composition as Identity", I argue that several forms of compositional pluralism are actually compatible with composition as identity. I continue to find this result completely surprising.
"Parthood is Identity?" is a strange but fun paper in which I explore how a version of relative identity (according to which the relation of identity holds between things only relative to a region of spacetime) can be developed into an unusual but philosophically powerful and intriguing version of the view that composition is identity.
"Composition as Identity Does Not Imply Universalism". A short paper proving what the title says.
"Tropes and Ordinary Physical Objects" was actually my first published paper. I wrote the first draft of it as an undergraduate in 1998, presented it at the Pacific APA the next year, and Lynne Rudder Baker allowed me to revise it as a seminar paper for her graduate class on material constitution. I then submitted it to Phil Studies. In this paper, I argue for a version of mereological bundle theory that I call TOPO (for "Theory of Ordinary Physical Objects"). TOPO says that ordinary physical objects are mereological sums of monadic and relational tropes. I argue that TOPO provides a solution to puzzles of material constitution involving the alleged co-location of material objects. Additionally, two arguments that have played a prominent role in shaping the current debate, Mark Heller's argument for FourDimensionalism and Peter van Inwagen's argument against Mereological Universalism, are shown to be unsound given this version of the bundle theory.
"Parts and Wholes" is an opinionated survey of some of the expansive literature on the metaphysics of parts and wholes.
My dissertation was on mereological simplicity. Most of it was either published previously or was published as papers. In Brutal Simples, I argued that there is no informative set of necessary and jointly sufficient conditions for being a simple. In Against MaxCon Simples, I argued against the view that something is a simple just in case it is a maximally continuous object. One of the arguments developed is what I call "the problem of spatial intrinsics", which as the name suggests is the spatial analogue of the problem of temporal intrinsics. In Extended Simples, I present an argument for the possibility of extended simples, argue that the doctrine of arbitrary undetached parts is true only if the shape properties of material objects are intrinsic properties, and then argue that these properties are extrinsic rather than intrinsic. "Gunky Objects in a Simple World" explores the mereological structure of objects that lack simple parts in worlds in which the spacetime regions that contain them do have simple parts.
"Extended Simples and Qualitative Heterogeneity" was written some time later. I present an argument against Josh Parsons' theory of fundamental distributional properties and argue for a trope-based solution to the problem of spatial intrinsics.
"No Paradox of Multi-Location" is a defense of endurantism against an alleged paradox.
Miscellaneous Metaphysics
This is stuff that doesn't neatly fit into the other headings above. If eventually more papers appear here, and some sort of pattern emerges, I'll change the title!
In "Normative Accounts of Fundamentality", I describe a number of views in which metaphysical fundamentality is accounted for in normative terms. After describing many different ways this key idea could be developed, I turn to developing the idea in one specific way. After all, the more detailed the proposal, the easier it is to assess whether it works. The rough idea is that what it is for a property to be fundamental is for it to be prima facie obligatory to theorize in terms of that property.
In "Propositions: Individuation and Invirtuation", I defend a theory of the individuation conditions of propositions that individuates them via a relation of non-factive grounding I call "invirtuation". Invirtuation is supposed to be a relation of metaphysical explanation that can have false propositions among its relata. One of the tasks of this paper is provide precedents for this sort of relation. Another task is to compare the individuation condition defended with a version of a cognitive equivalence condition.
This is Metaphysics is an introductory text-book for metaphysics, designed to be approachable to a newcomer to philosophy who is willing to work. It's been through the refereeing process, and I am working on finalizing the manuscript.
History of Philosophy
Although I work mainly in metaphysics, I do have serious interests in the history of philosophy, although primarily the history of metaphysics.
In "A Philosophical Model of the Distinction between Appearances and Things in Themselves" I develop a technique for doing the history of philosophy that I call "philosophical modeling". A philosophical model is a worked out philosophical position that has features that are analogous to the historical position of which it is supposed to be a model of. But the philosophical model might have features that are 'mere artifacts' of the model, i.e., not part of the fully faithful account of the meaning of some statement of a historically important philosophical view. But still the philosophical model can be useful if the following conditions obtain. First, it is clear that the philosophical model is itself a coherent philosophical position, and second, when taken as a model for the historical position, it shows a way in which that historical position could be coherently maintained. This is especially important when the position in question is one whose coherence has often been doubted, as is the case with Kant's distinction between things in themselves and appearances. And finally, there must be no elements in the model that are explicitly ruled out by the text. In this paper, the distinction between things in themselves and appearances is modeled by the constitution relation.
"Edith Stein: On the Problem of Empathy" is a paper forthcoming in Ten Neglected Philosophical Classics. Each paper in this collection focuses on an important work of philosophy that has received insufficient attention. I focus on Edith Stein, who was an important member of the phenomenological movement and Husserl's first academic assistant, and her first major work, her book On the Problem of Empathy, which is roughly concerned with how we acquire knowledge of the mental lives of other persons. Stein's view is that there is an irreducible intentional state (that she calls empathy) by which we acquire this knowledge.
"Eternity in 20th Century Philosophy" discusses some of the central arguments for the existence of atemporal entities in the 20th century philosophy. Among the figures discussed are McTaggart, F.H. Bradley, and Kurt Goedel.
Heidegger famously distinguishes between that which is merely present-at-hand and that which is ready-to-hand. In "Heidegger's Metaphysics of Material Beings", I argue that this is an ontological distinction between two different categories of entity and that no ready-to-hand entity is numerically identical with any present-at-hand entity.
Heidegger also famously says that Being depends on Dasein, even though beings in general do not. Wha??? "Heidegger and the "There Is" of Being" offers an interpretation of what's going on in the passages in which this sort of assertion is made.
"The Idealism of Mary Whiton Calkins" carefully discusses and critically evaluates the idealist metaphysics of Calkins, an important early 20th century American idealist. Calkins defended a version of absolute idealism on which the Absolute is a person who is neither limited nor embodied and who contains other persons as parts. On my interpretation of Calkins, although finite persons are metaphysically grounded in the Absolute, they are nonetheless as real as the Absolute. Other interesting features of Calkins' metaphysics are also discussed in this paper.
"John McTaggart" is the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy's entry on J.M.E. McTaggart, one of the most influential early 20th century metaphysicians.
"Pasnau on Category Realism: Remarks on Robert Pasnau's Metaphysical Themes 1274-1671" is a revised version of my comments on Robert Pasnau's fantastic and ginormous tome, originally presented at a Pacific Division meeting of the American Philosophical Association.
As the title suggests, in "Ontology and Philosophical Methodology in the Early Susanne Langer", I describe the ontology and philosophical methodology of Susan Langer's early period, which is roughly 1924-1942. There are interesting connections between both. Langer is one of the first persons, perhaps even the first person, to self-describe as an analytic philosopher and to articulate a rationale for grouping other philosophers under that heading. On her conception of philosophy, there are two fundamental tasks, both falling under the heading "the pursuit of meaning". The first task is analytic: to understand meanings, which I argue are publicly accessible forms that are subjected to a mental act of abstraction. Forms in turn exist only relative to what Langer calls "a logical language". The second task is constructive: to construct new meanings that will serve the job of existent ones that are ill-suited for use in philosophical theorizing.
In "Metaphysics, History, Phenomenology", I critically examine a phenomenological approach to metaphysics derived from Husserl circa the Logical Investigations. If the approach is correct, there is an interesting explanation for the relevance of history of philosophy, cross-cultural philosophy, and a kind of experimental philosophy to contemporary philosophical theorizing. But there is some reason to think that this approach cannot support claims about fundamental metaphysics.
There's also a book review of A.W. Moore's The Evolution of Modern Metaphysics.
And a book review of Lucy Allais's Manifest Reality: Kant's Idealism and His Realism.
I have written a critical review of Nick Stang's Kant's Modal Metaphysics as part of an author meets critics collection, to be published in the Kantian Review along with James van Cleve, Rae Langton, and replies from Nick Stang.
Ethics broadly construed
I also have interests in ethics construed broadly.
In "A Moorean View of the Value of Lives", I revisit the question of whether the notion of something being intrinsically good (or bad) for a person can be reduced to the notion of being intrinsically good (or bad) full-stop. There are three puzzle cases that suggest that it cannot, which I detail here. However, if the basic bearers of intrinsic value include what I call totality states, then these puzzle cases can be defused.
"Desires" is co-written with Ben Bradley. We argue that desire is an attitude that relates a person not to one proposition but rather to two, the first of which we call the object of the desire and the second of which we call the condition of the desire. This view of desire is initially motivated by puzzles about conditional desires. It is not at all obvious how best to draw the distinction between conditional and unconditional desires. In this paper we examine extant attempts to analyse conditional desire. From the failures of those attempts, we draw a moral that leads us to the correct account of conditional desires. We then extend the account of conditional desires to an account of all desires. We attempt to explain the distinction between intrinsic and extrinsic desire in light of our account of desire. We show how to use our account to solve Wollheim's paradox of democracy and to save modus ponens. Finally, we extend the account of desire to related phenomena, such as conditional promises, intentions, and commands.
"Death and Desires" is also co-written with Ben Bradley. In this paper, we use the theory of desire defended in "Desires" to undercut Bernard Williams's arguments for the undesirability of immortality, among other things.
"Critical Study of On Myself, and Other, Less Important Subjects by Caspare Hare " is a lengthy (4000+ word) study of Hare's book, which addresses centrally important topics in both ethics and metaphysics.
I co-edited The Good, The Right, Life and Death, (along with Richard Feldman, Jason Raibley, and Michael Zimmerman). This book has many interested papers on value-theory therein, although none of them is written by me.
Since you made it this far, here's another picture of my dog, Ranger.

Happy Emancipation Day To My Fellow Citizens Of Trinidad And Tobago
Nice post. I was checking constantly this blog and I'm impressed! Very useful info particularly the last section 🙂 I deal with such info a lot. I used to be seeking this certain info for a very lengthy time. Thanks and best of luck.
I know this if off topic but I'm looking into starting my own blog and was wondering what all is needed to get set up? I'm assuming having a blog like yours would cost a pretty penny? I'm not very web smart so I'm not 100% certain. Any tips or advice would be greatly appreciated. Kudos

Identifying roof problems can be easier than you think, but this fact makes the decision harder if you wish to use a professional or use products such as Flex Seal to resolve your roof repair. According to the National Roofing Contractors Association (NRCA) it is necessary to perform a roofing inspection twice a year, but addressing common roofing problems yourself can really help save your money. As seen on TV, Flex Seal is a liquid rubber sealant coating that stops roof leaks fast.
Do it Yourself with Flex Seal
Although, it is undeniable that a professional roofer can do the job with ease and in a faster manner, sometimes leakage problems that are not too big you can actually do yourself. Even though, keep in mind that the roofing services usually offer a guarantee for the job performed and when you try DIY products, the guarantee is for the result of the product itself, but not for the efficiency of the person who applies it. Therefore, Flex Seal is often a good solution for small roofing problems such as covering small cracks and holes, besides sealing out humidity and outdoor air.
Pros of Flex Seal
Flex Seal is a long lasting sealant that can also be used in gutters, skylights, pipes and other areas of the plumbing system. This product is available in 14 ounces aerosol spray, and its average price is around $13, while the cheaper services of a professional roofer can be at least three times this same amount. Based on these figures, you would have to evaluate how large the roofing leak is you are considering to seal with Flex Seal and how many spray cans you may need for this purpose, besides the complexity of the job.
Cons of Flex Seal
When it comes to inspect and repair roofing problems, Flex Seal has a few cons; it cannot be used on water or gas tanks, nor in or next high-pressure heating appliances. Another con is that the product turns into a solid rubber patch overtime that can be easily peeled of by environmental factors. On the other hand, remember that professional roofers can safely climb up on any type of roof, while it might be a major security hazard for you to climb up and particularly when the work has to be done over slate roofing.
So that, it is advisable that you inspect your roof first or get a professional doing this job, to determine if applying Flex Seal yourself is a better alternative than hiring a roofing professional.

It seems that LA Lewis has called one deejay's name too many, namely NinjaMan and in the process has incurred his wrath.
Riddim Don Magazine got a hold of a voice note where NinjaMan was giving LA Lewis "a proper tracing".
He said he has not acknowledged his gay son but LA Lewis was sharing the same apartment with him, implying he found the gay son more fascinating than he Ninja.
NinjaMan did not mince words as he described himself as a 'John Crow" saying he didn't eat dead meat, but he stayed high in above everyone else to keep himself out of trouble.
He described LA Lewis as a "set of homosexualist undercover"
"Stop dem suppm deh, come out and tell di public sey I am a gay."
"You whey name LA Lewis, you are so tied up in this batty business dat a doan know how you a guh get out!".
The clip was also laced with some threats where Ninja told him he didn't want to "buss a shot in his face" as he has spent a lot of time out of his 50 years in and out of prison.
He told LA Lewis to cool before he lost control.
Wow…whatever LA said, he had better learn to control his mouth!

Las Vegas, NV (PressExposure) April 02, 2012 -- Recently, the use of solar panels in homes has been growing. Demand for solar energy is increasing because of the need to use clean, renewable source of energy. By using solar energy we can help the earth as solar power is non-polluting and does not create a hazardous waste. Most countries are beginning to invest in solar power for economic development, fuel diversity and for energy independence.
Benefits of Solar Power for Homes
There are several advantages of using a solar panel in both homes and for commercial purposes.
Besides the obvious reason of resorting to clean energy which helps the environment, apprehension of depleting a natural resource does not arise.
You can save on your electricity bills, which is a great boon to many families. Although there is the initial cost of installation, most countries offer tax rebates and other incentives.
A Solar panel is very efficient and with the new technology will work even in undesirable climatic conditions.
Solar power systems are easy to maintain too and some of the manufacturers offer a warranty period of 25 years.
Finally, a solar panel can increase the value of your home. It's obvious that energy efficient homes will fetch a better price.
Solar Energy for Commercial and Industrial Purposes
Commercial buildings and industries benefit tremendously by using solar power. Some of the benefits are enumerated below.
Commercial buildings with solar panels have the advantage of not only saving on power bills, but it also shows the developer's outlook about global warming and the environment.
Developers will receive huge financial benefits by installing solar power systems. The tenants can be given cheap electricity for which they can get money. Excess electricity can be sold to the country's grid system, thus reaping rich dividends.
Use of solar panels by industries especially in remote areas is ideal as they are very reliable and needs very little maintenance.
Solar energy is useful in warning light buildings for aircrafts, in lighthouses and road traffic signals.
Big desalination plants can also benefit from solar power systems.
The Future of Solar Power
The future of solar power appears good in the U.S and other countries. Solar power is said to be one of the emergent industries in the United States. With increasing solar panels being installed for generating electricity, very soon, the country can eliminate the use of nuclear plants or even coal. If homes and businesses continue this upward trend of using solar energy, it will help the environment, our health and the world at large.

How to hack games on Android ?
What does hack the game?Hacking games - is the opportunity to replenish the gold reserves or rapid passage of this or that stage of the game with the help of special programs and applications.There are both universal programs and designed for specific devices.In this article we'll show you how to hack the game on Android.
for hacking games on the Android platform, you can use the following programs:
- programs with root-rights;
- program without root-rights.
programs with root-rights
install one of the devices: Game Killer, GameCIH or Game Guardian, you can hack the game on Android, as well as change the speed of the game.They work on the same principle of these programs:
- Install the software on your phone or tablet, launch it, and then fold.
- Start the game that you want to hack.
- Click on the icon of the program and to find, specify the indicators that you want to change.
To hack the game, you need to use the Freedom program.But it is worth noting that this program only works with applications installed through Google Play.After you run this program, you will be able to make in-app purchase.For example, if you need a refill any game resource on the Android or update the game, then the application should be run.If you do it right, then in front of you should see a window Card Free.
If the game was downloaded elsewhere (not in Google Play), you must first get her root-law, and only then start the Freedom program.
Using these applications, you will be able to hack online games on Android.
programs without root-rights
Artmoney - the most popular program in this section.You can download it from the official site.This program is easy to operate and is used both on smartphones and tablets with the Android operating system.
Working with the program:

Sometimes, the best days are the spontaneous days- the days where you change all premeditated plans and just say yes! Sunday was one of those days. As we were walking to church that morning, one of my dear friends called and asked if we wanted to rent a car, leave the city and drive to upstate New York to go apple picking. I mean, how can you turn down apple picking in the fall? And to make it even better, we were able to attend the annual Applefest Festival!
It was truly a magical day filled with apples, pumpkins, changing leaves, good food, great friend and ciders!
Stay tuned, the second half of our day will be posted soon!

We couldn't get a table at Present last Saturday night so opted for Thai at the above, a restaurant we had not been to before. We had a really excellent evening - the food tasted authentic and very 'undumbed down' and the service was friendly and unobtrusive. The 'Wild Boar Basil' was very spicy-hot indeed and the Chu-Chee sauce on the shrimp was one of the best things I've tasted in a long time. Generally the food here seemed a world away from what's on offer at the average Main Street Thai restaurant.

I'll start out by apologizing ahead of time if this post becomes a little incoherent. Work keeping me on the go a good 13 hours a day for the past couple of weeks tends to interfere with rational thought processes. Nevertheless, I wanted to comment on the latest developments in regard to Highway 63 before my days off arrive in a couple more days and I get to enjoy a bit of sloth for a change.
I mentioned in my last post about the Transportation Minister driving Highway 63 in recent days to get a sense of the "lay of the land" so to speak. Yesterday, yet another politician arrived here, albeit a rather important one in the form of our Premier. She pledged to fast-track progress on the highway. She also announced the appointment of local MLA Mike Allen to the role of "special advisor". Allen is tasked with looking into ways of speeding up the twinning process and reporting back to the Premier by June 29. It's encouraging to see that the Premier is addressing this issue and that local efforts to keep this on the front burner appear to be bearing fruit. Again, time will tell as to how things unfold from here. I'm not sure why the Premier had to create a fancy title though. One would think that both our local MLA's would advise the Premier and Minister of Transportation on this matter anyway but I suppose when you are Premier you can do things like dole out fancy titles. Seeing as how, up to the day he was elected, Allen owned a music shop, I find his appointment a bit bizarre. (Hey wait, I was quite musical growing up! I even have a music degree framed on the wall in the living room downstairs!!)
Even the Transportation Minister admitted to the Globe and Mail, "things are going to get a lot worse between now and the end of 2014." Well, of course Mr. Minister. This is what happens when you pledge to complete a job 6 years ago that still isn't finished. June 29 approaches. The people here are waiting. Get to it.

Mistakes to Avoid As A Winter Home Seller
Selling your home in winter presents a unique set of challenges. There are still buyers out there, which means there is a good chance you can sell your home, and for a great price. But to do so, you will need to avoid the most common mistakes sellers make in the season of snow and cold temperatures.
While the blunders below pertain to the winter season, there are also other mistakes sellers make when selling a home in every other season as well. Be a well-informed homeowner and avoid all of these potential problems for a much smoother sale.
In fact, take a look at some of the best tips for selling a home in the winter. The advice found here will go a long way in helping you sell for top dollar in an expeditious time frame. Keep in mind there is a mindset that buying a home in the winter is advantageous for those looking for a new place.
You are going to need to be on top of your game to ensure you sell your home for the money it deserves to command. Avoid these winter home selling mistakes, and you will be well on your way to accomplishing your goals.
1. Going at it alone
Choosing the for sale by owner route is always appealing because doing so conjures up an image that you will save money. Going for sale by owner can be especially attractive during the winter because sellers wonder if there are any buyers out there in the first place.
But going it alone is rarely ideal, particularly in a more challenging selling season like winter. An agent can help you ensure that you do things right and improve your odds of making a sale. He or she can also provide much-needed energy and emotional support.
Before going the for sale by owner route much sure you analyze the pros and cons of selling without a real estate agent. While the prospect of avoiding paying a real estate commission is very enticing, it is also tough to achieve. Make sure you think things through carefully before going this route. If you are under the gun to get your home sold, it may not be a wise move.
With time on your side and a commitment to sell without an agent just be sure you understand the best methods of selling a home by owner. So many sellers go at it willy-nilly but just sticking a for sale sign out in the front lawn thinking that will do the trick.
2. Trying to save on your utility bill by keeping the house cold
Energy conservation is important, and your commitment to saving money and the environment is commendable. But the fact is, buyers need to be drawn in and seduced by your home – which requires a warm interior. You want to make them feel like your home is warm and cozy, a safe haven in the coldest of winters. That means turning up the thermostat and keeping things comfortable
Another thing to consider about keeping your house warm for showings – if your home is cold, buyers may suspect something is wrong. The heating system might be about to crap the bed. The home may not be properly sealed. Your insulation may be old and worn out. The windows may be drafty.
Some people even go so far as to put plastic over their windows. Covering your windows is a mistake in and of itself. It screams I have a problem! There are a lot of reasons a home may be cold in the winter, and few of them are good ones.
3. Failing to clean your windows
Nobody likes cleaning all the windows in their home, particularly on the exterior (well, some people might, but there are not many). But as much of a pain as it may be to get those windows clean, it is something you need to do if you are going to be showing your home in the winter.
The leaves are gone from the trees, letting sunlight in and exposing every speck of dirt on your windows. A clean home is much more likely to attract buyers, so break out the Windex or hire someone to do it for you. Good Housing Keeping has some window cleaning advice worth a look.
4. Not clearing your walkways
Depending on where you live, the winter weather may make your walkways treacherous and difficult to use. You want potential buyers to have an easy time getting in, out and around your home. If you're selling a home in the winter, it means clearing the walkways and making sure they are safe and easy to use.
Shovel the snow, throw out some ice melt where necessary and keep up with the cleaning as the snow and ice continue to accumulate. Making sure the walkways are clear is important not only because it makes it easier to look at the house, but it also makes it safer – which protects you legally.
Sometimes I see sellers skipping the cleaning of the walkway to the front door and instead have buyers come through a secondary entrance. Doing so is a big mistake. The best presentation on 95% of all homes is through the front door. This is especially true if you are selling a luxury home where there may be a dramatic entryway or staircase. Avoid this winter home selling mistake.
5. Trying to Hide Problems
Concealing problems in any season is never a good idea. Winter brings with it harsh weather that can certainly do damage and wreak havoc on a home. One of the more common winter home problems owners have to deal with is ice dams.
While those icicles may look pretty hanging off your home, letting ice back up has some serious downsides. For this reason, all homeowners need to pay particular attention to this issue and understand ice dam prevention in the first place.
The biggest concern of home buyers when it comes to ice dams is the water penetration. Mold is at the forefront of fears when it comes to home buying these days.
The last thing you want is a buyer loving your home but then not wanting to move forward because of an ice dam. Painting a ceiling or wall with an issue to cover up a bigger problem is foolish. Deceiving a buyer could come back to haunt you.
Water issues also can occur when selling a home and not winterizing properly.
6. Not using photos from a more attractive season for your listings
If snow is piling up, icicles are hanging, and the trees are bare, your spring pictures of your home could be a big help to a buyer. When buyers see photos from another season, it is very helpful because they can get a sense of things they would otherwise miss in the winter.
For example, you might have beautiful gardens or a stunning pool. A buyer is going to miss out on these unique features in the winter months.
Instead, you should make sure your real estate agent has a good balance of the photos. By all means, you want the photos to be appropriate for the season you are selling in, but it is always great to have warm weather photos as well!
Your real estate agent should get new photos taken that are seasonally appropriate if your home has not sold coming out of the winter. Not changing photos in a timely fashion is a huge selling mistake I see lots of agents making.
Spring has arrived, and there is snow in the photos – REALLY? This is a huge turn-off and indeed an awful presentation. Frankly, an agent that has snow in their photos come spring time deserves to be fired!
7. Failing to spruce up your home with color and scent
Summer and spring bring their own appeal, but when it comes to winter, sometimes you need to add a little something to make your home seem more welcoming. With all the color gone outside, you will need to find some ways to brighten up your home and make it feel more inviting.
You can use seasonal decorations, pops of color in different areas and scents – such as candles or potpourri – to make your home comfortable and welcoming. Make sure to decorate before your agent gets more pictures of the home so that the listing photos put your best foot forward. Don't however, keep your decorations up beyond the season.
For example, you shouldn't have Christmas decor up in January!
Additionally, you can use these winter curb appeal tips from numerous real estate agents from around the country. There is some really great winter home selling advice in this resource!
8. Being too busy to show the home
The holidays are a busy time for people, even homeowners who are trying to sell their home. Don't however, get caught up in the festivities and give in to the desire to deny potential buyers the opportunity to see your home. Stop for a moment and reconsider. Just having your home on the market puts you under considerable stress.
There is a lot on the line, and you naturally want to sell your home for the best price you can. Every time you deny a showing, you are lessening the chance that you will achieve your overall goal.
Every buyer that does not get to see your home is a missed opportunity. In fact, I remember quite vividly last year while selling a home in Westborough Massachusetts; the seller did not let a buyer see the home because it wasn't convenient. The buyer was transferred into the area and in for the weekend to buy a home.
The buyer ended up purchasing a very similar home. This is one of those cases of "you never know." Every missed showing is a lost opportunity for a sale.
9. Letting the cold weather and short days get you down
Winter can be tough even when you are not trying to sell your home. For home sellers, though, it can be even harder to avoid getting down in the dumps. You may be tempted to think that nobody would buy your home in winter, that going through all the effort to sell your home is a waste of time.
But it's not. Seriously. Lots of people buy homes in the winter, and there is a good chance you will find the buyer you are looking for and be able to sell your home for the price you and your Realtor agreed upon. Stay active, try to think positively and keep pushing.
10. Pricing The Home Wrong
The number one winter home selling mistake is the wrong list price. In fact, the top reason a home does not sell in any season an incorrect price! Winter home sales are harder to come by so it is even more critical to get your home priced right from day one. Pricing a home is an art, and skill all rolled into one.
Look for a local real estate agent who is skilled at evaluating market value. Avoid the agent that tells you what you want to hear at all costs. You will be stuck with a less than desirable agent who will more than likely not get the job done.

I came up with the idea for this recipe on an especially beautiful autumn day. I wanted to make a treat that reflected the season, and of course, thought pumpkin! My family loves cinnamon rolls, so I decided to try combining one of our favorites with the flavors of the season...delicious!

Original series] Grace and Frankie and thought, "It's happened. We're giving a face to aging women." People think of age as an arch: you're born, you reach midlife,
then you decline into decrepitude. But instead of being an arch, aging can be a stairway leading upward, where the older you get, the more you can evolve and become an authentic person.
Bl: I love that. Do you have any regrets in your life?
Jf: I regret that I wasn't a better parent. I didn't know how to do it. But you can learn, so I studied how to be a parent. It's never too late. I am trying to make up for what I didn't know before. When I die, I want my family to be around me. I want them to love me and I have to

Bl: What do you think about how female sexuality is portrayed on screen now?
Jf: I think it is terrifying being a
young actress now. You have to get naked so much. There is even more emphasis on how you look.
Bl: Female sexuality was confusing for me. I went to auditions where they wanted a sassy, smart, sexy girl. I would arrive in sneakers and they'd say, "Come back in a mini- skirt and heels." I would come back and blow the audition. I felt more in my body when I wasn't dressing as a fantasy for the male gaze.
Jf: If you look at Bette Davis,
Barbara Stanwyck and Mae West,
they were sexy and strong but they didn't necessarily expose anything. They were adored for it.
Bl: The first time I got a spread in
a fashion magazine there was a
one-off piece of clothing from the runway. I asked, "Can you only be

I'd Buy That…Maui
People run around like crazy trying to find sunscreen before they leave yet almost every store sells it in Maui. It seems some stores almost even have it on sale indefinitely, a spray can runs for about $9.99 on sale or $12.99 regular price. Coming from Canada it is harder to find in the winter in drugstores and supermarkets. The thought of having to check your luggage for a bottle of sunblock isn't always worth the extra luggage fees. Save yourself some running around before you travel and pick it up at the supermarket after you arrive. If you are anything like me I try and stop at a supermarket the first day or next morning, after a late arrival, for some groceries and a can of sunblock is hardly any added bother.

This shot was taken at Dawn from the building I work in it shows in the North Sydney CBD. The Sydney Harbour Bridge links the North Sydney CBD with the Sydney CBD.
The shot was taken using a Nikon D300, Nikon 18 – 200mm lens , for any Nikononians the 18-200mm lens is wonderful it comes in handy as a all purose lens.
The shot was created from 3 exposures and processed with Photomatix HDR software.
So continues my exploration of HDR.. its fun

The beta version of Picasa 3 offers many improvements and additions to the existing Picasa software. One of the most excited feature is powerful retouching tool that can fix things like acne and scratches -- and it's great for restoring old photos. If you've ever scanned decades-old prints, you well know they're not always in the best condition. Our Retouch tool now allows you to remove scratches, marks, and stains. A little bit of Tuning and the 1-click Sharpen Filter are the perfect finishing touches. Then you can order new prints of your old photos.
Here're some tips for retouching your photos in Picasa:
- Use your mouse wheel to zoom in. Zoom out after retouching each patch to make sure it's blended well. If it's not, just use Undo Patch and try again.
- Zoomed in, particularly on faces, there is a huge range of color tones. When correcting something like acne, you should use a replacement section of skin close to the blemish for the most natural look.
- If you're fixing a large area, it helps to correct gradually instead of in one patch so that the areas all blend well together naturally. Try working on smaller areas, starting at the outside.
- Don't forget texture! It's important to try and follow any existing patterns on the surface you're retouching. If there is a line in the face (that you're not trying to get rid of), it would look unnatural for the line to be broken by a patch of unlined skin. Go back over the corrected area, and replace it with a matching texture. Try this for pores, hair, etc.
- Use plus and minus keys on your keyboard to quickly re-size the brush. Use the slider bar for more precise adjustments.
