Flat roof repair
6 Attachment(s)
I have a conventional built-up flat roof on a concrete deck with dozens of blisters, nearly every single seam in bad condition, and water infiltration at at least one (probably more) penetrations including the bathroom exhaust fan duct shown in the last two pics. As badly as I'd love to have it torn off and completely replaced, I can't afford an $8,000 repair right now, period, and have no choice but to fix it up as best as I can so I can defer the full replacement for another 4-5 years.
I've gotten the impression that there's at least one repair process that's DIY-friendly, but will leave the roof in a state where it basically can't be repaired further, and nothing short of a full tear-out will be possible going forward (kind of like blowing emergency repair foam into a flat tire... it'll get you back on the road immediately, but a tire temporarily fixed with it has to be replaced because the moment you blow it into that tire, it becomes permanently irreparable). I *think* it involved a product with the word "cement" in its name, but I'm not really sure.
Keeping that in mind, is there any product available at Home Depot or Lowes that can be used to seal blisters that have been cut open and dried, and re-seal seams that are coming apart, that
a) won't render the roof irreparable going forward and mandate a complete tearout the next time the roof leaks
b) at worst, might need to be re-applied if it rains too soon after use (as opposed to, "If it rains too soon, you'll end up in worse shape than if you'd done nothing at all").
'B' in particular is vital... at this time of the year in Florida, there basically IS NO day when it truly doesn't rain at all, and you could confidently know that it wouldn't rain at all earlier in the day. A "dry" day is one with scattered light showers. A "rainy" day is one where there's a mid-afternoon mini-hurricane with 3+ inches of wind-driven torrential rain and the roads all flood...
Some roof pics taken this afternoon (1=facing west, 2=facing east, south side of roof, 3=facing east, 4=facing west, north side of roof; 5=master bathroom).
Whoever told you that was smoking whacky tabaky.
You don't have a "built up" roof, which is "built up" by mopping hot asphalt onto the roof and rolling successive plies of felt paper into that hot asphalt. I think you have something called "roll roofing". However, the following repair procedure should work equally well:
The standard repair procedure for flat built-up roofs is as follows, and it doesn't "ruin" your roof:
1. scrape away the pea gravel to expose the roof membrane so that you can find the tear, crack or opening where the water is getting in. Sweep away any dust or whatever to ensure you get a good bond between the existing roof membrane and the plastic cement you'll be applying.
2. apply "plastic cement" (which you can buy at any hardware store for roofing repairs) to fill the tear, crack, or opening. Also apply it several inches around the tear crack or opening. Normally you use a "pointing trowel" to do this, but any tool that allows you to spread a coat of plastic cement without getting it all over your hands will work.
3. apply fiberglass roofing mesh over the wet roofing cement. If you can't find the stuff made specifically for roofing, then use twice as much fiberglass mesh for drywall joints. The roofing stuff is much heavier grade of fiberglass mesh.
4. apply another coat of plastic cement over the fiberglass mesh
5. repeat steps 3 and 4.
6. broadcast the pea gravel back onto the wet roofing cement to protect the plastic cement from the UV light from the Sun.
The design of the repair is very simple to understand; the plastic cement forms a water proof seal over the tear or opening in the existing roof membrane and the fiberglass mesh embedded in that plastic cement carries any tensile stress (tension) that may be in the roof membrane on cold days so that there's no tension on the patched opening so that it doesn't open again. Anything you can do to improve that design (such as using more layers of fiberglass mesh across the tear or spreading the plastic cement for a larger distance around the tear improves the repair. So you want to clean the existing roof membrane well around the tear to ensure a good bond between the old membrane and the plastic cement, you want to spread that plastic cement for a good 6 inches around the tear and you want to use at least two layers of fiberglass mesh embedded in the plastic cement.
And, if it wuz me, I would buy some pea gravel at a garden center and cover your roof repairs with that stuff to protect the plastic cement from the UV light from the Sun.
One thing that's been bothering me ever since yesterday... is there any legal/engineering/technical reason why penetrations through concrete roof decks aren't themselves surrounded by a hollowed-out cone of low-slump concrete (kind of like a pipe emerging from the mouth of a volcano)?
To me, it seems like the best possible way to protect penetrations from water that works its way under the top layers of roofing material would be to make the top layers almost unnecessary. Form a steeply-sloping conical hilll around the entire penetration with a trowel and low-slump Xypex-enhanced concrete, and everything on top to provide further protection would practically be moot. Water flowing horizontally along the slab's surface would run into a steeply-sloping rounded surface (the cone's base) that's chemically monolithic with the slab itself (the surrounding slab would be Xypex-treated as well) and take the path of least resistance... around it. Just about the only way water could get in is if the hood were blown off, and falling rain entered from directly above.
Ditto, for the edges where the slab meets the parapet walls... trowel the same low-slump Xypex-treated concrete along the perimeter to form a sloping transition from the horizontal slab to vertical parapet walls, treat the adjacent surfaces with more Xypex, and even the complete failure of any additional roofing membrane would be of little immediate concern, because the whole roof would basically be like a shotcreted swimming pool sitting over a parking garage -- filled with water, but acting like a big pool because any water not flowing towards a drain would have no physical path into the home's interior.
The one possible problem I can think of is expansion joints. Would they be necessary at all on a 44x18 suspended slab roof deck, or is that small enough that merely isolating them from the roof slabs of neighboring units would be good enough to avoid failure due to cracks (particularly if the slab were protected by insulation and some kind of cladding, even if that cladding weren't strictly needed for water-resistance alone)?
Well, the first roofer was just here. I haven't gotten a price quote yet, but here's what I found out:
* My roof is absolutely, positively a 100% conventional oldschool hot-mopped built up roof.
* The roofer didn't want to do a complete tear-off... partly because there's no logistically good way to actually DO it. They can't park a truck alongside a corner unit, because I'd have to get permission from 3 neighbors to beat up THEIR roofs getting my own hauled away. I wouldn't want them to do it to me, and I assume they'll feel the exact same way.
- Removal via the rear is out of the question completely. The yard is walled in and covered with a screened enclosure.
- Removal via the front would entail disassembly of the pergola (not out of the question, but would likely kill an entire day if I did it myself doing it carefully so that I could put it back together again afterwards). It would also shred and destroy all the work I did back in January making the front look nice. Needless to say, I'm non-enthused about this option.
So... that basically leaves having the roofer do what I might otherwise do myself... cut, dry, and cement down the blisters and loose upper layer, prime it, cement down a layer of fiber reinforcement, then coat it with 3-5 layers of liquid elastomer.
If push came to shove, and I ended up doing the job myself, what order should I do the repairs in if there are simply too many to complete the whole job from start to finish in a single day, and it's likely to rain in between my repair days?
To help break it down, here are what I see as the main sub-areas:
a) The parapet wall tops and sides
b) The flashing between the parapet walls and roof deck
c) the front third (where ponding is the worst, there's no drain, and no positive drainage towards the rear -- where the actual gutter is)
d) the mid third (so many blisters, it's almost one big blister, plus two pairs of bath vents + stack vents (one on each side), and the air conditioner.
e) the rear third (puffy blisters along the perimeter, but all things considered, it's in visibly better shape than the mid and front thirds)
So, within those sub-areas a-e (and maybe some sub-sub areas within 'd'), what order would I:
1. slice, dry, and cement the blisters closed
2. prime
3. reinforce with fiber+elastomer
4. apply the first layer or two of heavy-duty elastomer
5. apply the finishing layer or two of white, surface elastomer
Put another way, would you do the steps roof-wide in order (fix all the blisters on the entire roof, then prime the entire roof, then do the fiber, etc), or would you do things a little bit out of order, like:
1. Slice, dry, and cement all the blisters along the roof's perimeter (say, within a foot of the edge)
2) Prime the parapet walls and the outer foot of the roof deck
3) apply one or more of the elastomer coats to the parapet walls ONLY
4) repeat steps 1-3 with the middle third of the roof
5) ditto, for the front third
6) ditto, for the rear third
My rationale is basically that doing the parapet walls first will get that whole sub-project out of the way, and won't substantially harm the unfixed areas of the roof in the meantime. I'd do the middle third next, because that's where I've observed outright water infiltration. This part alone will probably take me a few days to finish. Applying the elastomer to the middle first will probably worsen the ponding at the front third of the roof... but really, I don't see how it can get much worse than it already IS. Plus, I'll have a blower, so I can go up once or twice a day and blow the ponded water off. The rationale for finishing with the rear third is simply the fact that it's in the best condition of the entire roof (a few puffy blisters, but no ponding, and nowhere near as bad as the other 2/3 of the roof).
Also, keep in mind that if I do it myself, besides the rain, the amount of work I can do in any single day will be limited by the heat. Just going up on the roof this morning for 15 minutes with the roofer left me so hot and sweaty, it took nearly an hour to fully recover and feel normal again... and I dried off multiple times, changed clothes, and changed my shirt AGAIN 25 minutes later because I hadn't stopped perspiring... and I'm in fairly good shape, believe it or not. 90+ degrees at 100% humidity is brutal...
I guess we're dealing with a difference in terminology in what is meant by "built up". It is clear to me that your roof is not made from felt paper glued together with hot asphalt because such a roof does need protection from the UV light from the Sun.
In roof shingles, the granules on the shingles serve that purpose by shading the shingle, and the amount of granules from the shingles that have collected in the evestrough is one thing to consider when assessing the condition of a shingle roof since you don't always see areas on the roof where the shingles are bare of granules.
Flat "tar and gravel" roofs, which are really asphalt and pea gravel use the pea gravel for the same purpose; to shade the roof from UV light.
On your roof, I don't see any pea gravel. "Roll roofing" is basically a large wide shingle that you roll onto the roof, but I'm not very familiar with it, or torch down roofing or any of the other single membrane roofs that are used on flat roofs. Since I don't know very much about these other kinds of flat roofs, I'm not in a position to give any sort of "expert" advice on your roof. But, in the following paragraphs I'll tell you how you can get reliable advice from a knowledgeable contractor and get the work done at a competitive rate.
I can tell you that blisters on a flat roof are an indication that the roof is nearing the end of it's life. I'm not sure it's a good idea to repair the existing roof. I think that might just be throwing good money after bad. If it were me, I'd probably try to replace the roof entirely so that the money you spend now won't commit you to continue repairing the roof so as not to lose the benefit of the money already spent. You might ask about RE-DOING the roof one third at a time, tho. That way, you're not committing yourself to an ongoing repair program.
Here's a pretty reliable way to find competent contractors that will give you both reliable advice and a reasonable price on whatever you decide to do:
Simply save your yellow pages phone book from year to year.
Anyone who's working for a roofing contractor now isn't going to start his own company until he's learned everything and made all his mistakes on his boss's customer's roofs. Only when he can see for himself that he could run a roofing company himself does he make the jump by quitting his job and start his own company. And, of course, it's not lost on him that he needs to have his new company in the yellow pages phone directory in order to get business.
So, keep the old yellow pages each year when you get new phone directories on your doorstep. By simply comparing the roofing contractors listed between this year and last year with a helper and jotting down the names and phone numbers of the companies that appear for the first time in the new directory and disappear since the last directory, you can get a pretty clear picture of who the new contractors are, who's retired, gone out of business or moved, and who's simply changed their business name for whatever reason.
Anyone starting a new company is going to play it safe. That is, they're simply going to do the best job they can for each customer they have at a competitive price. That way, if the business doesn't fly, they can't blame themselves for having charged too much, or done too little or gotten bad word-of-mouth advertising cuz of 1 and 2, or given bad advice to convince the customer to spend more or anything else within their control. They'd do exactly the same thing as you or I would; do an honest job for a competitive rate, and hope that's enough to make the business successful.
I would see if you can photocopy the Flat Roofing contractors in last year's phone directory at your local library. Certainly the new contractors who've just started into business will at least give you honest advice about what condition your roof is in and whether it's really wisest to repair it or replace it.
sorry I couldn't have been of more help in this case.
I talked to someone about the roof at a party last night. He said you're right, but not with respect to South Florida. He wasn't sure whether it was merely a norm, or an outright HVHZ (high-velocity hurricane zone) building code requirement, but down here built up roofs are usually(always?) topped with roll roofing instead of gravel. Basically, because in a hurricane, gravel on a roof turns into buckshot and causes lots of window damage to neighboring buildings. Apparently, the massive damage caused by Hurricane Wilma to some skyscrapers in downtown Miami (where Wilma's strength was nowhere near what it was in downtown Fort Lauderdale) was due to a single, relatively small building with lots of loose gravel on its roof (the window damage was almost all concentrated on a single wall of the affected buildings that faced towards the building in question). I feel sorry for that building's owner, because the businesses that had the worst damage were some of Miami's most elite & powerful law firms... he knew that at the very least, the topic of legal liability was going to come up a few hundred times at lunch over the next few weeks ;-)
So, as far as gluing down the loose flashing goes... any thoughts about Gardner Leak Stopper rubberized roof patch? Good, bad, or otherwise? Likewise, for gluing down the sliced & dried-out blisters, any thoughts on Wet-R-Dry roof cement? It's cheaper than their "Premium Roof Cement", but for some reason most of their OTHER products refer to Wet-R-Dry rather than its more expensive brother. The price difference is almost insignificant in light of the labor it's going to take to fix my roof and the importance of it not failing, so I'm trying to figure out which one might be better for this application (keeping in mind the fact that it will have at most a few hours to dry/cure before the next afternoon rainstorm).
Hurricane force winds turning the pea gravel on a flat roof into buckshot is something I hadn't considered, and it does make sense. Millions of stones going 150 mph would be dangerous to anything in their path.
Here in Winnipeg, they also sell two kinds of roofing cements; standard and premium. The only difference is that the premium sticks to wet surfaces so that you can repair a leaking roof while it's still leaking. I think what you're dealing with there with the Wet & Dry and Premium is the manufacturer wanting to keep his market share of the contractor business (where the price is the primary consideration) but maximize his income from DIY'er business, where price is of lesser concern. That is, I expect the difference between the Wet&Dry and Premium plastic cements is much smaller than the price difference between them. It's just a manufacturer trying to make more money where he can; from the DIY'ers, who, almost to a man, will pay extra for the premium, presuming there is an important difference between them.
I wouldn't be concerned about a subsequent rain. Plastic cement is water proof from the minute it comes out of the cartridge or can. Once you get a repair down, then you can pour water on it. You'd have to use a fire hose on the repair to blast away the plastic cement and mesh to cause the repair to leak. A rain won't damage the repair.
I would talk to some people down there about fixing the blisters yourself. Just cut them open with a knife of some sort, smear some plastic cement under the roofing there to get the membrane to stick down to whatever is under it, then put down three more layers of plastic cement with a layer of roofing fiberglass mesh between each layer. And, based on what you're saying about hurricanes, I'd spread some plastic cement the size of a 15 year shingle over the repair and press a 15 year shingle down into that plastic cement to protect the underlying plastic cement from the UV light from the Sun.
(I say 15 year shingle because it's the granules on the shingles that protect the underlying asphalt from the Sun, and a 15 year shingle has as many and as large granules as a 30 year shingle, so from a UV perspective, they'd offer the same protection. 30 year shingles are made from thicker asphalt impregnated paper or from two layers of asphalt impregnated paper, and you're not relying on the paper to protect against water penetration; the plastic cement does that. You're only after UV protection.)
Another option.I work at a hospital with a flat roof and I ve seen the roofs of several bussineses in my community,all roofed with 80 mil vinyl. we had a roof leak at church,some one had scraped the peagravel to try and repair the leak.I covered the are with a 10' by 40' piece of vinyl.No more leaks.I would lay it over exsisting roof.One negitive,vinyl
can be punchered but it can also be repaired easly .White vinyl will also deflect the heat.Just an opimion.good luck
Well, yesterday I spent a couple of hours up on the roof trying to patch the flashing with the obvious hole and two blisters. I came to the conclusion that there are SO MANY blisters up there, it would literally be easier to rip the entire upper layer off and replace it. Basically, every 3' x 3' area has at least one notable blister, and many of the blisters run into each other.
Then, I realized that the lower layers (hot-mopped asphalt + felt) are in nearly perfect condition (there was lots of water between the lower layers and the upper layer, but the lower layers themselves seemed to be almost flawless). It appears that my current problem is due to the penetrations being flashed to the upper layer. Water is getting under the topmost layer, running between the top layer and felt+asphalt, flowing under the flashing, then down into the hole.
It occurred to me: perhaps I could tear off the upper layer, then replace it with reinforced elastomer *instead*. Put another way, my roof would be (from top to bottom):
Ames Maximum Stretch white elastomer coating (2 coats)
Ames Super Elasto-Barrier (4-5 coats, with roof fabric embedded in layer #3)
Ames Super Primer
(existing felt + asphalt layers)
(existing insulation)
(existing vapor barrier)
(existing concrete roof deck)
I emailed Ames' tech support to ask whether it's a viable option, but don't expect to hear back from them until Monday. Intuitively, it seems like it shouldn't be merely "ok" -- really, it seems like it would be a superior option. Why? Because the elastomer would be applied to a foundation that's firmly in place and isn't going anywhere. If I apply it to a new layer of roll roofing, it will basically be resting on a layer of roofing material whose own service life is 5-10 years, max. If the roll roofing comes up, the elastomer will come up along with it. As I understand it, the asphalt + felt layer is basically what you'd end up with if you took a "conventional" built-up roof and removed 95%+ of the gravel, anyway. The lower layers would lack the physical protection of a hard "shingle-like" surface, but I'm under the impression that roof fabric embedded in Super Elasto-Barrier would be just as good, anyway.
If I do that, I'll probably just do the removal, primer, and two coats of Super Elasto-Barrier now, and embed the roof fabric and topcoat it this winter when it's not as brutally hot outside (and we can predictably have more than 12 rain-free hours in a row).
On the other hand, if they say that the roll roofing layer is absolutely essential, I'll probably just tear off the roll roofing, replace it with new roll roofing + cold-process roof cement from Home Depot or Lowes, and maybe put a coat of Super Elasto-Barrier on it for good measure. In any case, I don't think I'm going to even bother trying to cut, dry, and patch the individual blisters. There are just too many of them, with too much water trapped between the roll layer and felt+asphalt layers
The single hardest part I see is removing the old roof. I just might have to pay someone to do that, because I don't know whether I have the stamina to tear off the roll roofing from a 20x44 foot area, fix the flashing, prime it, and apply at least one layer of Super Elasto-Barrier in a single day... in 96-degree 99% humidity, no less. I know the big roofing companies won't touch a job that only involves tear-off, but maybe some of the 2-3 person small roofing companies might.
If it wuz me, I would compare this year's yellow pages listing of "Commercial Roofing Contractors" to those listed in last year's phone book and ask those new companies about just replacing the deteriorated surface layer of your roof.
I'd be reluctant about puting down any elastomeric coating on your roof. Elastomeric coatings are more meant for masonary walls with active cracks that open and close with building movement. They're water proof, but I think replacing the surface of the roof you have with the same thing, only new, would be the better option.
I wouldn't try doing this work yourself. 90% of the problems that occur around a house can be done by a DIY'er with the resolve to at least try solving the problem before giving up. Re-doing a flat roof is one of the other 10%.

I've been making my beef stew exactly like this with the McCormick seasoning package and these exact ingredients and measurements forever.(It must be the recipe on the package). I always brown the floured meat before adding it to the slow cooker and I use low sodium beef broth in place of the water. Sometimes I make this in my pressure cooker too. It's the best beef stew I've ever had.
I just made this and was very disappointed with the results. The meat was bland and didn't taste the seasoning. I followed the directions and browned the beef first and added it to the mixture. I cooked it 5 hours on high. I found it to be very soupy. I won't be making this again, but I would recommend either longer cooking time or less liquid.

I thought the recipe was very good but I added squash, barley,corn to it. And when I was done I made a small amount of roux to thicken it. It turned out yummy but the main thing I did was let it cook all day. My family now let's me cook more often ;)
Perfect Beef Stew. I browned beef first too. Only added bit more garlic salt and pepper. My family loved it so much!
Super easy to make and very tasty! Added some garlic powder and salt and pepper. Will probably add garlic powder to the flour dredge to give beef more flavour.
Meat was tender, broth was very rich. Served with breadsticks and everyone enjoyed.
Found my new recipe! LOVE IT! Will make this again and again! :) Mmm Mmm Mmm!
made this for supper. it was sooo...good. My husband ate 3 bowls!!! I think I will use this recipe a lot. It would be nice to come home to after midnight mas.

Topic - Rigging a top rope with only dynamic rope
dl_wraith - on 16 Sep 2013
Time for a really noob question. My apologies in advance for this one.
So, I'm in possession of two ropes. Both are dynamic. Will the additional stretch in these ropes make rigging top ropes with them unstable or unsafe in any way and if not, what measures will I have to take when setting up the top rope to take proper consideration of the extra stretch introduced into the system by the presence of more dynamic rope than you may normally use?
I sorta feel like I'm missing a point here so I'd rather ask and look stupid than shrug it off and not take proper consideration of a factor I may not yet fully understand. Be gentle, peeps.
(Sorry for the previous post for any who saw it. I've had belays on the mind of late)

El's rocks.
I was pulling my hair out trying to get the one that didn't get away. I don't know if it's urban legend or not, but those ultra-rare fish seem to appear more frequently in certain lakes from time to time. The forums at El's will have updates on this. After what seemed like months fishing in that lake behind the Goldshire inn, I trekked over to Stonebull Lake in Mulgore on a suggestion in the El's forums and had the achieve and the Salty title with 15 minutes.
I owe my Salty and my sanity to El's. Blizz needs to make a gnomish fishing pole (the more Rube Goldberg-ish the better) and name it for El.
Yes! They could call it "El's Angler", and it should look awesome and give lots of +fishing (not more than http://www.wowhead.com/item=19970 though, please ;-)

text: Peeing your pants can be sort of a spiritual cleansing depending on how you look at. Sure soap does a good job cleaning the groin region but sometimes a good old fashioned pants pissing can really give that area the purification that it desperately needs every now and then. Celebrities basically pee their pants whenever they want because they'rerich and that's one of the privileges of being a rich celebrity. Come on, you know you'd peed your pants all the time too if you wererich and famous.

The computer image shows much brighter yellows and greens and yellows which I LOVED, but when the actual product came, the colors were more earthy... like a lt olive green and lt maizy yellow... i wanted bright and it wasn't. BUT i do still enjoy the pattern and color pallette so I am keeping the shower curtain.
I had hoped it was going to be made from cotton fabric but turned out to be 100% polyester, but that's ok. Would have been nicer if they had used grommets instead of just button holes. However, got it at a great price and it was the exact design I was looking for since I was actually going to make it out of the Waverly Pom Pom Play fabric from JoAnns. So this saved me a lot of time and money. :)
I put this in an extra bathroom which seemed a bit dark due to the antique motiff & it worked like a charm to give the room that little umph that was lacking. I love the look in the bathroom now, and to think that I almost scrolled right on by this shower curtain until I read the other reviews. Thank you Overstock!
Accurate colors- and I say the dark color is a soft black, not dark blue. (there was discussion).
I needed a curtain to spruce up my spare bath. This is definitely a fun curtain. I wanted lots of color but not something that looked like it belongs in a teenagers room. This was the perfect curtain. I have an awful blue tile and black vanity. This array of colors sets the bath off with a bit of eccentric class. It is on the thin side but it serves my purpose. For the price I will not complain.
I returned this because it didn't match the color scheme. it is of nice quality and was a good price.
Colors are vibrant as pictured. There are no defects. Fun shower curtain. Not a heavy curtain if that is what you are looking for but flowy and soft.
This looks just like the picture, nice quality too... great color pop in the bathroom
Exactly as pictured...love it! The different colors help it match any bathroom!
Look just as pictured....black and not blue as some others have reviewed. I love it!

April 8th Release
Posted Apr 8, 2011 by Alex
The Adzerk team has been busy rolling out new features over the last couple of weeks so I'm back with an update. One look at the Adzerk management interface and you'll immediately notice some of the improvements.Usability and Workflow
Continuing on our theme from the last release, we've poured on improvements to streamline the process of managing your campaigns, flights and creatives. The result is a lot more information made easily available without a lot of clicking to get it.
- UI can now be modified using custom CSS/JScript by each customer
- 'Bonus' term changed to 'Adjustment'
- Custom Advertiser agreements
- Added a creative list to the Advertiser page
- Dashboard now shows campaigns underperforming (as opposed to just latest)
- Added CTR to Campaign, Flight, and Creative screens
- Added thumbnail of creatives to reports and creative screen
- Added expandable views in the campaign list and flight list for a campaign
- Ability to delete creatives
- Reports can now be emailed
An ad server is only as good as the data you can get out of it. With this release we've integrated with the IAB's spiders and bots list to exclude fraudulent clicks and impressions from your counts. This results in more accurate counts and less discrepancies with third party ad servers.Network Functionality
The goal here is more flexible and more configurable.
- Invite emails can be configured to come from a custom email address
- Update the publisher ledger on a daily or monthly basis
- Custom publisher agreements
We've come a long way in a short time but we have big plans for Adzerk. In the coming weeks you can keep an eye out for a reporting API, automatic publisher payouts and ways to maximize your ad revenue.

Mark Grace and Daron Sutton will not return as television announces for the Arizona Diamondbacks next season. The club confirmed that it is seeking replacements for the pair.
Grace, the popular former major leaguer and the team's color analyst, left the crew voluntarily in August after his second driving-while intoxicated arrest in 15 months. Sutton, the play-by-play announcer, was suspended on June 30 for unspecified "philosophical differences."
Greg Schulte, who had taken over the television play-by-play duties, will return to his role as radio announcer.

My mind frustrates me.
I can only wrap my head around so much
knowledge, wisdom, and information.
More importantly, I can only understand so much.
I wish that I had a firm grasp on politics, on Christianity,
on world religions, on current events, and on First Aid.
I know. The last one is kind of funny. But still!
I wish I knew all this stuff so that I could constantly save the day,
or at least feel like I can comprehend the world that I live in.
But God created me human.
Isn't this kind of what got Adam and Eve
into trouble in the first place?
The serpent tempted them with the Tree of
the Knowledge of Good and Evil.
In a way, they wanted to know everything, like God.
Damn it. I want to be God!
Don't we all?
But do I really want to be like God?
Do I really want to know just how messed up this world is?
On the contrary, I could know just how wonderful it is.
Whatever. It doesn't matter what I could know,
because my brain is the size of a flea, compared to God.
And yet, the human brain is amazing.
Some people study neuroscience and dedicate their lives to it.
I should just embrace what I've got, be grateful.
The reason this is all so significant to me is because
I am trying to figure out how to do my daily devotionals.
Just how should I read my Bible?
Should I read it like a book, to get the main gist?
If I do that, I'll miss out on the finer details.
If I read and elaborate on one verse at a time, though,
that will take FOREVER.
In addition, shouldn't I be employing the strict rules of
Bible interpretation that the theologians have used if
I truly want to understand the Bible?
I don't want to do a superficial interpretation of Bible verses,
taken out of context, and then run with it.
That doesn't seem to do the Bible justice.
So I stopped reading my Bible for a while,
but I hated seeing such a big, dense book collect dust
on my book shelf.
It nagged at me.
Especially since it was God's book.
Especially since I started to lose my passion for the Lord.
Especially since I started to lose my mental stability.
I need God, and I need His Word.
So I guess that I'll just have to settle for choosing a verse
and blogging about my thoughts on it.
Well, I won't be settling.
I'll be trusting that God can enlighten me.
Here goes.

It happened at about 7:30 a.m. A car hit the side of an Oglethorpe Tours bus at the intersection of Abercorn at Anderson streets. No injuries were reported and damage to the vehicles was minimal.
One lane of Abercorn Street had to be closed while crews cleared the scene, which only took about 20 minutes. The street has since reopened.

Book Description:
Every year, large organizations find their IT systems becoming more complex, and more diverse -- and the need for effective enterprise integration becomes more urgent. In this book, Chris Britton offers IT architects and decision-makers practical start-to-finish guidance for defining architectures and choosing middleware strategies that integrate the entire enterprise, maximizing flexibility, resiliency, scalability, security, and manageability. IT Architectures and Middleware gives IT professionals expert guidance for identifying key architectural issues, and building complex distributed systems with confidence and foresight. Rather than focusing on a specific technology such as COM, CORBA, or Enterprise Java Beans, Chris Britton starts with the realities of IT in the enterprise: its massive size and accelerating growth rates. Britton helps system architects rise above the hype and evade the vendor crossfire, presenting a quick survey of middleware technology, and offering guidance on the IT structures and middleware technologies most likely to address their business requirements. For all system architects, project managers, IT leaders and strategists.

awfulmodifications: http://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/health-and-families/features/tattoos-marked-for-life-2235121.html SUBMITTER'S COMMENT: thought this was worthy of sharing, it's not an awful modification per se. but awful public attitudes to them. This came up on my Facebook news feed, it's a nice… Society as a whole can be very ignorant. I have a few tattoos I do not care for, but rather than removal, I intend to have them covered by beautiful, higher quality pieces. I do not regret being tattooed, I regret lack if research and patience on my part when I was 16.

I really enjoyed this. Don't get me wrong, this is not the fried okra my great grandmother in NC made, but it's a nice, healthy alternative. I omitted the buttermilk and, as shortening is what provides a fair amount of flavor in the fried kind, I used a healthy dose of cooking spray. I also only baked for 30 minutes; by that time, the cornmeal was nice and brown and the okra was tender. I did have a lot of cornmeal left over, so I boiled some water (about 4 cups) and made some mush with it.
Oven-Fried Okra

Kristing Posted: 10/14/09
Awful! Thought we'd try it despite the poor reviews as we had some fresh okra from the farmer's market. It didn't taste even remotely close to fried okra and was stringy as well. I'd far rather use fresh okra for gumbo!
davidslori Posted: 07/11/10
Sadly, I made these before reading the reviews. I used House Autry stone ground cornmeal, and though I love this particular cornmeal in muffins, it did no justice in this recipe. I did only keep the okra in the oven for 20 minutes, so they did not become tough, but no one in my family liked them.
taval2 Posted: 04/18/10
Like others who also made this despite the horrible reviews I thought I could make it work... not. I did follow the advice of another reviewer and skipped the egg all together, just soaking the okra in milk and I used 50% corn meal and 50% flour with a good amount of cayenne, salt and pepper. I really thought this would be better than the other reviews indicated but it was lousy. Maybe frozen okra would have been better because the fresh just got tough once it was cooked. And despite the extra spices the crust was bland. Don't waste your okra on this one.
ael5292 Posted: 02/02/11
I baked mine elevated on a sprayed baking rack, set over a foil-lined pan. I thought they were delicious. Will definitely make again.
judireez Posted: 09/05/11
I baked a batch tonight. The only thing I changed was I used sour milk instead of buttermilk. They had great flavor and not all the grease that we were trying to get away from now, but they were kind of dry even though I let them soak like it said. I am going to play with the recipe and see if I can find a way to add moisture to it. I'll bet it won't be hard. :) Great recipe though. Just needs a little tweak is all. :-)
aperry0284 Posted: 10/09/11
This started to burn and was very dry even though I didn't bake it at the full temperature or the full length of time. Definitely won't make again.
Shangela Posted: 09/18/11
These were pretty good.. I'm not a huge fan of cornmeal although I had some on hand. I used about half cornmeal & half plain breadcrumbs.. The flavor was there... I used frozen okra & just put in on the stove just to warm it up a bit. They came out crispy & as well as I expected, but I've had better.
jmeleeS Posted: 06/11/12
This recipe was super easy, and the okra crisped up so nicely I really thought it was going to be astounding. This recipe just didn't have any flavor (and I even added more red pepper to the batter). The okra pods inside the batter just couldn't compete with the cornmeal base - though a pleasing texture all together, it is not a recipe I will make again just because it is so boring. I might try the batter on jalapeno slices to see if I can get a better result because truely the batter was the best I think I have tried for anything "oven-fried" to get that great crisp shell texture. Overall, as written, defintely not a keeper for us...
EllenDeller Posted: 10/15/13
We thought this was quite good. It's a bit drier than fried, but so much more healthy. I squeezed a little lemon into the buttermilk and added a full tablespoon of the CL Cajun spice mix into the cornmeal (I make the mix w/o salt), and if you don't make that, I strongly suggest a similar amount of a salt-free Cajun seasoning. Without the lemon and the spice mix, I fear this would be pretty bland. I baked at 410 degrees for just 30 minutes. A sprinkle of Tabasco was a nice touch, and my husband also had some ketchup with his. I made this along with some roast potatoes as an accompaniment to vegetarian BLTs prepared with maple smoked tempeh.
TahuyaNell Posted: 08/11/14
Very disappointing. Used fresh okra from the garden, followed recipe to the letter but they were so dry and flavorless. We ate them with hot sauce to offset the dryness but ended up tossing them out. Dog wouldn't eat 'em and my TN spouse gave the whole mess a thumbs down. Next time we'll 'budget' the fat content in our meal so we can toss fresh okra in cornmeal and cayenne and fry in a little coconut oil.

Prologue (Here we go again)0 Reviews
Mikey's girlfriend is going on Warped Tour. With the boys from Fall Out Boy, not My Chemical Romance. Things are going to get interesting.
About the Prologue:
This will be the ONLY chapter in third person and it tells more about why I'll be talking about the stuff that I'm talking about in the story. And if you're confused about what I just said, so am I.
Becca sat on her bed, thinking. She was in New Jersey, living in her apartment close to her friends, Mikey and Gerard's, house. They were in a band called My Chemical Romance with her other friends Bob, Ray, and Frank. Mikey was her boyfriend of one year, and they loved each other very much.
My Chemical Romance was going on Warped Tour this summer along with another band that she was once close to. Their name was Fall Out Boy. She used to live in Chicago and became very good friends with Pete, Patrick, Joe, and Andy. Becca actually used to date Pete, but he dumped her right after graduation, saying he needed to figure things out. She was heartbroken, so she hopped a plane back to New Jersey, her childhood home, the next day, and found Mikey and Gerard. She has been there for three years since that day. The only one she had kept in touch with from Chicago was Patrick, her best friend.
And now, Becca was going on Warped Tour with one of the bands. Now one would think that she'd be going with My Chemical Romance, but she wasn't. She would be going with Fall Out Boy to become friends with all of them again because she missed them. Right now, Becca was thinking that she couldn't do this. She was about to call Patrick and say that she would just stay home. She had her phone in her hand. But for once, someone stopped her from running away again.
"Pick up your stuff. It's time to go," came Pete's angry voice from the door. He was undoubtably sent by Patrick. She picked up her stuff and followed him out the door and to the bus.
"Here we go again," Becca whispered under her breath.

Cutting the parts out that you can get to without being in a MASSIVE amount of pain actually just makes the ingrown-ness worse. Getting the sides removed is about 99% permanent. When they cut the sides out, they stick a solution into your toe that kills the nail root at those spots so that they're supposed to be unable to grow back (but the remaining toenail should be unaffected). Of course there is a tiny chance that the sides may eventually start growing back, but I've had mine out for nearly 6 years now and the sides are still dead as a doornail.
I used to have bad ingrown toenails on both of my big toes. Then finally they became too much to bear, so I went to a podiatrist and had the the sides of my toenails surgically removed. Only cost a couple hundred, and that was without insurance.
So worth it, believe me.

Thanks. I actually lifted for the very first time in the summer of my freshman year in high school. Now I'm a freshman in college. Freshman and sophmore year was kind of a goofing off stage. I never took it seriosuly and took a lot of breaks. Junior year, I was aiming for mass. That didn't get me anywhere..I'm freakin asian lol..I don't see myself getting all that big. Senior year to present stage, I've actually worked really hard trying to cut the fat and get more "noticeable muscle." Ever since college started, I've been working out everyday cept for friday, saturday, and sunday LOL because the (school) gym is closed and I can't afford to go to 24 hour fitness or something.Originally Posted by Frozenmoses
Thanks. I was considered one of the smallest guys in my school up until junior year. I don't have a pics on me right now that shows the smallness of me but I was under 5'5 @ (around)110lbs when i ever started. I got one pic of me in a black suit when I was in jr. high. It doesn't show my whole body but it'll give you a good idea of how small I was. This week i'm going home so i'll get it and scan it in.Originally Posted by Mattburns

I'm also looking into getting my bf tested. In my school it said sometime like a 4 caliper body fat test. What's that? They said it'll cost $2. YOu guys think that's reasonable price?
Last edited by Structureboi86; 10-20-2004 at 01:58 AM.
Nice chest and back.
A 4 point caliper test won't be very accurate. The fewer number of points they use, the lower your bodyfat will generally come out as. For two dollars you might as well have it done, but a seven site would be the way to go. Most choose 3 or 4 site because the formulas are very simple.

Thanks for all the compliments guys (BCC, GrumpyTX, FixationDarkness, Orbital, and Big J). You guys (including people who have not replied yet) happen to have any advice on what I should start working out on more (body part?)? Say like in 6 months...maybe March..if i take a picture...what would you think might make my body more "cut looking." Which portion should I focus more attention on. I'll keep excercising (sp?) my whole body in general..but how bout any specific criticism(s)? (don't care if it's harsh..bring it!) My main goal right now is to get down to below 15% BF.
Thansk in advance.
P.S. Oh yea..if you happen to have any good excercises (sp?) that think could hella help me..please tell me. I only excercise off of basic workout moves.

I think your only around 8-10% bf, definally not over 15%. I think you should focus more on your arms and delts, legs too. But you should just try to get bigger overall.
Life isn't like Burger King, you can't always have it your way.
I'm not sure what lifts you do, but if I were critiqueing you I would say your legs, traps, and rear deltoids needed the most work. So Rows, Shrugs, Deadlifts, Squats, Leg Presses, and Lunges should all be in your routine. If some of them are not, I would suggest you add them.
You have a solid base to build on. Just up your calorie & protein intake & continue to train hard. You seem motivated, so you should see some good gains as the months go by.
Southern Pride !
Nice pics, looking very muscular.

The car is one of only a handful of its kind believed to be outside the United States
A 1934 Duesenberg Model J has gone on display at the Warbirds and Wheels visitor attraction at Wanaka Airport this week.
The car is one of only a handful of its kind believed to be outside the United States and the only one in the Southern Hemisphere.
According to Duesenberg records the original owner of the car was Hollywood actress Carole Lombard who shared her passion for luxury cars, especially Duesenbergs, with her husband Clark Gable.
The car came into New Zealand ownership in 2011. It had previously been owned by the same American owner since the early 1950s.
When it arrived in New Zealand a start had been made on restoration but a team of Wanaka craftsmen went back to the beginning to bring the vehicle back to its original glory.
The restoration job was overseen by Wanaka businessman Robert Duncan who describes himself as the caretaker of the vehicle.
"You never own a Duesenberg you are just the caretaker," said Mr Duncan.
"It was very satisfying to be able to do the full restoration in Wanaka and for the car to go on display here."
"I had a vision for how the car could look and I've got to admit that the restoration team have surpassed my expectations, it is simply stunning."
The Warbirds and Wheels 1934 Duesenberg J features a Le Baron "sweep panel" dual-cowl sports phaeton body.
The original owner was actress Carole Lombard who paid $US17,000 for the vehicle. At the time she was Hollywood's highest paid actress at $US500,000 a year which was five times the amount received by the President of the United States.
When it was built the Duesenberg possessed the most powerful production car motor in the world. The straight 8 motor puts out 265 horsepower and can reach a top speed of up to 200 kilometres an hour.
The Duesenberg Model J has been described by many as the greatest car ever built in the United States.
It is a reflection of their value today that some 378 of the original 481 Model J Duesenbergs ever built are still in existence – all but a handful of these are in the United States.
One of the biggest Duesenberg fans today is American talk show host Jay Leno who owns no less than 16.
The saying "It's a Duesy" was first coined in the US in the late 1920s and reflected the awe with which the American public regarded the Duesenberg motor car.
A 'Duesy' is regarded as something excellent or extraordinary – just like the Duesenberg.
The Duesenberg is on display at Warbirds and Wheels at Wanaka Airport as part of a world-class classic car collection. The attraction also features a number of Warbird aircraft, the story of local aviation legend Sir Tim Wallis, a visual arts gallery and 1950s retro themed café/diner.
Warbirds and Wheels is open 7 days - 9am to 5pm.

Amazing deal. Heavy duty, extra warm, extra large sleeping bag for a great price.
We haven't actually used them yet, but we did examine the sleeping bags and I was pleased with the thickness and feel of the product. I'm looking forward to using this on our next camping trip.

Hard working employees all over the country have stood up and demanded healthier options, increased selection and 24/7 convenience.
Some large work sites are lucky enough to have a cafeteria. However, they can be expensive for an employer, as they may be heavily subsidized. In many cases they may only operate for one shift, leaving associates to settle for vending machines instead.
Small businesses have even fewer options. Many are lucky just to have a snack and drink machine. While vending is a good option for some businesses, more and more companies are asking, "Isn't there a better option?"
Well, now there is! And it really is a "no-brainer."
Instead of vending, how would you like your own workplace micro market offering hundreds of items including:
- Delicious and healthful fresh sandwiches, fruit, soups and sides
- Yogurts and milk
- Crispy and crunchy snacks
- A wide variety of mainline and alternative beverages
- Single cup coffee
- Frozen treats
... all presented in a beautifully outfitted, open-concept market and available to associates 24 hours a day?
Oh, and by the way, Breakroom Provisions Micro Markets are perfect for businesses with around 175 employees or more!
Breakroom Provisions will even install and manage the market FREE OF CHARGE!
