I am an ex-fat kid who grew up immersed in Mediterranean food lore as well as its rich sauces, gravies, ragus, patisserie creams, etc. Perhaps in another life I may have opted to become a pastry chef or even spent happy days tending a wood-burning stove. Not this time around.
I consider this the realm of one eats another. It's a Tibetan thing and I like those folks. I do feel it is my destiny to be fully part of the food chain. It takes a lot of courage to be on planet and I treat the concept of nutrition quite seriously.
While there is no way to eat ourselves out of the human condition, there is the serious risk that the unbridled human appetite will cause grave suffering, both for us and the rest of the species on this planet.
Most humans beings consume way too much of the wrong food for their own good. I have done my fair share of gluttonous action in past but now that my blood sugar fluctuations are stable, much less so. I will blog about how I went from a "see-food" diet to being mostly…
- Gluten-Free
- Dairy-Free
- Sugar Free
- Grain Free
- Organic
- No-GMO
- Grown Local
- and mostly on what is called The Paleo Diet.
I am also quite fascinated by cultural adaptations of food items: is Chicago pizza really better than New York style? And lastly, as a passionate environmentalist and permaculture student I will speak about food and the environment.
- how to find healthy ways to enjoy seafood in the time of ocean acidification and over-fishing
- How to grow food forests and not lawnscapes
- Why gardening is a revolutionary act that saves money, improve health, and lessens carbon footprint.
The only thing I dislike about a food kitchen is washing the dishes. That aversion is just another good reason for me to eat more raw food. I do plan to blog often about cleaning and tidying things up after the party is over because food, like fitness, is best viewed from the restorative angle.
The lack of a constructive recipe is a predictor of low-work capacity and the vital play function will tend to also be mal-nourished. We must learn from the aftermath of our foodismo and try to eat to live, not live to eat.
To discover a functional or staple diet that works uniquely well for my peculiar metabolism I must learn how to be:
- intuitive
- selective
- prepared
Can't just grab stuff on the fly when I'm hungry. This will set me up to be manipulated by the vagaries of my appetites. Read my blog and it will help you avoid much needless pain and stress because of unhealthy nutritional choices.
Hey I almost forgot to ask: anyone else here really like superfood? Here is one of my favorites!
Subscribe to my blog and get my latest blogs on the pros and cons of various dietary approaches, spotlights on healthy ingredients, warnings about dangerous food products, and other unique fitness concepts to help you thrive in the post-modern foodscape.

Problems with unbricking the PS3 help?
Hi Guys, i have a problem..
I tried to downgrade the PS3 and after i made the nor backup, i tried to reflash this backup and then the e3 flasher shows an error. I was so dumb and shutdown the PS3 while this error and now i think my PS3 CECHH4 is bricked because when i turn the PS3 on, the LED lights green and than immediate red and the PS3 shut down.
Now i have solder the PA0 Tristate Point to the SBE and the console turns on and don't shutdown but the screen remains black.
I tried to reflash with the backed up nor dump with flash fun mode (100000) but when i plug the ps3 off from power, switch to (000000) an plug in and start the PS3 the situation is the same. The PS3 starts, the green LED lights up an the screen is black. Also the console cannot shutdown normally..
I also tried a lot of tutorials, i patched the nor dump with the nor patcher v1 and reflash like the first try, i tried to flash with (000001) with nor dump and e3_downgrade.bin but nothing happens...
I have also tried with the e3 card reader in the right usb (power on and eject), but the reader led dont lights up red or blue and the ps3 dont shut down.. it seems that the usb port is disabled or not functional.
Anything else what i can do? Have I done something wrong?
10-12-2012 #2geeklogik Guest
hey man i've got the exact same problem, what firmware are you one just a query?
10-12-2012 #3gabbahead Guest
hi, my PS3 was on the 4.21
10-12-2012 #4technodon Guest
upload your nor backup to a file sharing website and i will take a look to make sure your backup is not corrupted. you should always verify that any dump you make is 100% valid before writing to your console. once this console data has been over written its impossible to retieve meaning that if your backup is corrupted the console is bricked permanently!
10-12-2012 #5gabbahead Guest
10-12-2012 #6technodon Guest
i'm sorry but your bootloader seems to have no information stored in the backup.. if this was the only dump that you made then you are screwed. this console would not be recoverable ever
10-12-2012 #7gabbahead Guest
oh no... how can that happen?
10-12-2012 #8racer0018 Guest
It can happen a lot of different ways. That is why I always tell people to post their backups on here and me or someone else will help them in making sure it is a good dump. There are many different areas in a dump that are just for your ps3 and with out these areas you can not fix a ps3. I will look real close at your dump when I get home but if technodon said that it is not there then I am sure it is not there.
Technodon has been around and knows what he is doing so I do trust him when he said it is not there. One thing you can do is get on eBay and buy another mother board that matches the one you have a then downgrade that one and use all your parts that you have to make a whole system. Thanks and sorry to hear about that.
10-12-2012 #9technodon Guest
its happened because the clip wasnt on properly, if one pin doesnt make contact then data is not read 100% and you get a corrupted backup. it is very important to verify that you have a perfect copy before attempting to overwrite the data stored on your ps3's nor chip. now the original data has been deleted bootloader has gone and there is no way to recover from this becuase each ps3 has their own console keys.

... 'buy this book!'. Not really, of course, he's dead. But were he alive today Dickens would surely say: 'wait ... what strange realm is this? How are these carriages drawn through the streets sans horse? What keeps those speeding silver craft in the sky?' and so on. He probably wouldn't say anything about I Am Scrooge, now reissued for Christmas. That's not even the real Charles Dickens. It's a miniature plastic one. Look at his feet!
In other news, Sainsbury is selling "I Am Scrooge by Sir Adam Roberts". So you could buy that one as well.

Chet for the win
By Adam Roberts | September 18, 2012
Categories: Book News
Yesterday's rather vulgarly pluggy post went against the grain, rather, if I'm honest. I'll be a touch more circumspect today in this, another post catching up on stuff of mine that has appeared over the summer. The first thing is to direct you to the site of the excellent Pandemonium press, run by good people, and with its heart in the right place ('Pandemonium books are released as both limited editions and ebooks, with a portion of all proceeds from our sales going towards charitable causes'). The next thing is to point you in the direction of their Novelettes (scroll down). There I am!
I wrote a story about a trip to the moon, a lunar adventure, an encounter with strange aliens (all that). Then I bethought me of the good old days when my novels were called things like Salt, On, W and !. Now there was a naming convention! Accordingly I named my new novelette An account of a voyage from World to World again, by way of the Moon, 1726, in the Commission of Georgius Rex Primus, Monarch of Northern Europe and Lord of Selenic Territories, Defender of the Faith. Undertaken by Captain Wm. Chetwin aboard the Cometes Georgius. I think this might catch on, as a new novel-naming convention.
Saucy Jack, he's a haughty one, saucy Jack, he's a naughty one
By Adam Roberts | September 17, 2012
Categories: Book News
Buy from: amazon.co.uk; other retailers; kobo ebooks.
So, how've you been?
Yes, yes, it's been a while. I shall keep things more up to date around here from now on, I promise -- starting with this post about my latest novel Jack Glass. This is pure plug. Impure semi-plug and other posts to follow.
Anyway, this is the book with, by general opinion, the nicest cover of any of my novels (thank you, Blacksheep). More, according to the entirely disinterested opinion of, er, my wife, it's my best novel yet. You wouldn't want to call my wife a liar, now, would you? Less subjectively it is a mash-up Golden Age SF space opera and Golden Age whodunit. If you don't like those two things then you won't like this, but if you do like them, then ... who knows? Maybe my wife is right. Here's one reader's amazon.com opinion: from a certain N. O. Tasockpuppet: 'This is most excellent stuff, this triptych of "locked-room mysteries". Inspired by both the "Golden Age of Sci-Fi" and similarly classic whodunits, Adam Roberts has fashioned a Space Opera that satisfies both the imagination and the intellect.' See?
There have been a few published reviews as well, and I'll run briefly through them. To start with the less than enthusiastic: Saxon Bullock, at SFX, was lukewarm -- the review isn't online, I'm afraid, but in a nutshell it was: 'this is a book in three parts; it's good but the first part is exceptionally good so the whole thing doesn't really work, 3 stars out of 5'. Which is hard to argue with. The estimable Guy Haley, despite opening his review with one of the nicest things I've ever read about myself ('Roberts' books are truly difficult to rate, because there isn't anything else like them in the modern SF genre') overall blows as cool as he does hot about the novel. And the great Christopher Priest reviewed the book in The Guardian. It's a review that's difficult to excerpt, and, as you'll see if you click the link, manages to be both positive and rather puzzled and negative at the same time. I tend to the view that it's as close as Priest will come to a dithyrambic review of my writing, given the parameters of his Reviewer's Voice, and his mixed reaction to my writing more generally. But maybe I'm fooling myself.
Other reviews are more straightforwardly positive. Niall Alexander at Tor.com calls it 'magnificent' (' ... perfectly plotted, winningly worded, and as rewarding, despite everything, as anything you're apt to read this year, this trifecta of golden age goodness is yet another example of Adam Roberts' tremendous talents').
Paul di Filippo says nice things about my writing, and this novel, in a locusonline review; wondering as he goes why 'Roberts's books slide under everyone's radar, consumer and reviewer alike ... drastically ignored by peers (no Nebula nominations) and fans (no Hugo nominations). But why? His work is always elegantly written, thought-provoking, suspenseful, ingeniously speculative and deftly plotted. He knows the history of the field inside and out (having written a big critical history of our lineage). He honors mainstream fiction as well. I find his characters eminently lifelike, his tone droll and acerbic and yet not insensitive to common human passions. In short, he seems the very model of a modern SF writer.'
Harry Ritchie, at the Daily Mail, says: 'The ingenuity factor is impressive enough, but this is a novel that also manages to shift our sympathy towards the infamous culprit, as we discover not only who done it and how but why, for this is a mightily oppressive future where trillions are governed by a dictatorial elite and capitalism at its rawest. Startlingly clever - a maestro's performance.'
Liviu Siciu, over at Fantasy Book Critic: '[To say] "it is an extraordinary novel" is quite the understatement. A top 10 novel of 2012 for me.'
The Material Witness blog wasn't sure what to say: 'It's been about a month since I raced through Jack Glass in the space of 24 hours, and the reason it's taken me this long to review it is that I simply haven't been able to figure out how to write about it. That has nothing to do with the writing of Adam Roberts, which is exquisite throughout - smart, witty and addictive - nor the brilliance of Jack Glass, which is a fascinating, compelling and challenging tale of personality, politics and socio-economics. I have enjoyed no novel more during 2012.'
John Clute has some spontaneous jactitations over at Strange Horizons. he breaks open the R S Thomas (that great poet), amongst other things.
And finally, the hugely perceptive and rather neglected critic Dan Hartland, despite making cruel aspersions about my male pattern baldness ('... and between you and me, my hair is thinning a bit ...'), says some very interesting things.

That thing Keats said about a thing of beauty? It applies here.
This is the latest iteration of the cover for my forthcoming Collected Short Stories, which Gollancz are putting out next year. It is, in a nutshell, yet another blinder played by the genius people at Blacksheep. I'm very conscious how lucky I have been with my cover art, and each of the last few (all Blacksheep designs) have upped the bar. I didn't think it was possible to get any better than the cover for Jack Glass, but this comes close to topping it.

Captures my mood rather well at the moment, actually: artwork by the estimable Gary Northfield based on a short story of mine called 'Martin Citywit' which will be appearing in Pandemonium: Stories of the Smoke, a collection of SF shorts based on Dickens and edited by Anne C. Perry and Jared Shurin. The book is out soon, and you should buy it, for a portion of proceeds will go to PEN, which is a very good cause. But more proximately, you should pop over to the Pornokitsch site right now and take part in the auction. Gary N. has very generously donated all the half-dozen illustrations he did for the volume; and they are things of beauty indeed. Bid, I bid ye! Bid!

Fishbowltastic cover, I think, though of limited relevance to the actual story. Then there's Keith Brooke's anthology of original critical essays Strange Divisions and Alien Territories: the Sub-Genres of Science Fiction (Palgrave 2012), containing my essay on SF and Religion called 'Does God Need a Starship?'.
And finally, The Cambridge Companion to Fantasy Literature (edited by Edward James and Farah Mendlesohn). I contributed the 'Gothic and Horror Fiction' essay to that one:
So in sum: odd; strange; fantastic.

I've known about this for a while, and now that's it's been officially announced (on the Victor Gollancz website) I can go public. This is the cover for Jack Glass; my favourite, I think, of all my covers. To quote Aishwarya (a real person with a twitter account; although also, confusingly, a character in Jack Glass): 'Okay, wow. I see @arrroberts' run of great covers continues.' It's true!

Through the frontdoor post-hole this morning: my copy of the Gollancz 'SF Masterworks' edition of this great classic of the genre, Edited By Harlan Ellison, by Dan G. Rous Visions. 600 pages of stories that changed science fiction: £9.99 on the back cover (£5.29 from amazon right now, I see), unmissable. This new edition incorporates introductions from both Mr Visions himself, and from Michael Moorcock (these date from a 2002 reissue of the book) plus a brand new extra introduction by me. Two more things: (1) I see the SF Masterworks series even has its own Wikipedia page; and (2) isn't that a superb piece of cover design by the peerless Vincent Chong? Check out his website page on the brief.
By Light Alone
By Adam Roberts | January 13, 2012
Categories: Reviews
A little belatedly (must attend to this 'bsite more frequently): a brief round-up of things that have been written about By Light Alone. To begin with a couple of actual readers, since they're the most important people. First Lizzie Barrett, on facebook:
I have just finished By Light Alone by Adam Roberts. If you like political literary novels, if you like emotionally compelling stories, if you like science fiction, you will like this. Hell, if you like your words strung together in beautiful and profound sentences so that you reread them for the sheer joy of language, you will like this.
Then, for balance, an anonymous reader, reported by Michelle Howe:
I recommended BLA to a collegue who likes hard sf and political intrigue, so of course I thought he'd love it. He didn't, and now is telling everyone not to trust my recs or reviews.
Marmite-acious. Over on the Strange Horizons blog Niall Harrison, that tall man, has written a characteristically insightful and intelligent account of the novel, putting it in the wider context of
plays novels what I write:
Adam Roberts novels, it seems to me today, often worry at questions of sincerity and insincerity -- or authenticity and inauthenticity... For someone often pegged as a quite cynical, sardonic commentator, Roberts' fiction concerns itself quite often with what you might call verities of "the human condition", as conventionally understood -- there are essays to be written about love in Adam Roberts novels, and war in Adam Roberts novels -- albeit rarely in conventional forms, indeed usually deliberately contrary or challenging: the emotional arcs in Swiftly most infamously, perhaps. And more significantly, science fiction as published today is a fundamentally sincere genre: earnest, even, both politically and stylistically. Because Adam Roberts novels are only ever sincere in backhanded ways, and frequently insincere in obvious ways, it's easy to see them as critiquing science fiction; and they usually are; but per Puchalsky they're usually doing more than that as well, I think.
Niall links to pieces by Rich Puchalsky and Paul Kincaid that I've mentioned before on this site, but he also links to an interesting essay by Lavie Tidhar about me qua problem, 'Shall I Tell You The Problem With Adam Roberts?'. The whole thing is thought-provoking, but Lavie's thesis is summed-up in his conclusion: 'He is both the Fool and Knave of science fiction.'
So there you go.
Langer's Science Fiction and Postcolonialism

Solaris Rising
By Adam Roberts | November 10, 2011
Categories: Book News, Events and Appearances
After three previous volumes (two of which contained stories by me) Solaris is rising again, thanks to the metaphorical yeast of Ian Whates, that excellent individual. My contribution this time is a story called 'Shall I Tell You The Trouble With Time Travel?' In this story, I tell you, the reader, the trouble with time travel.
[14 Nov: this just in from amazon.com, whose reader reviews are, as we all know, infallible: 'OVERVIEW/ANALYSIS: I first read the Peter Hamilton story ... and the Adam Roberts story which features another crazy explanation of a sf trope, this time the paradoxes of time travel and has the expected superb prose and characters, while not much later I also read the Alastair Reynolds story which contained the author's trademark serious cosmological stuff interspersed with human interest that has made him the leading hard sf voice of our time ... In addition to the trio above, the stories by Eric Brown/Keith Brooke and Jaine Fenn respectively were also excellent ... great prose and characters added these two stories to the A++ top tier ones of the anthology. Overall I would say that Adam Roberts Shall I Tell You the Problem with Time Travel? is my favorite story of the anthology, but all of these five are stories that reminded me again why I love science fiction in the short form too!']
[17 Nov: A signing! A signing in Forbidden Planet, on Saturday 26th November at 1pm!]
[22nd Nov: My last update to this post ... I just saw the SFX review of this volume, sadly not online, which praised the whole thing, and praised my story in particular ('sublimely good ... worth the price of admission alone'). Which is nice.]

Very exciting: the long-awaited, much-expanded 3rd edition of the genre's standard reference work, The Encyclopedia of Science Fiction (edited John Clute, Peter Nicholls and David Langford) has at last gone live -- or at least, its Beta edition has (you can find out what the 'beta edition' is, here). I've made some miniscule contribution to this by writing a few entries on SF Music; but really this staggering, amazing achievement belongs to Peter, John and David, not to mention the estimable Graham Sleight. I'm more delighted for them than I can easily say; and I'm very honoured to be associated with the project, even in a marginal sense.
Since going live, there's been a good quantity of feedback from fans and readers, which is an excellent thing. I'm very happy to take corrections where my music entries are concerned, of course; either here or through the site's own contact page (or via Graham's SFE3 blog). It's also good to get suggestions of SF music I've not yet got to: I'm very grateful, for instance, to Jez Winship and Neil Snowdon, whose long, thoughtful response to the release of the SFE3-beta contains a wealth of suggestions for more music entries. I'm writing some of these now, as it happens.

Download DEMO (Mirror 1) – Dropbox
Download DEMO (Mirror 2) – Mediafire
This plugin allows you to create musical pieces using the Ocarina and conjure different effects via common events.
Instructions and Manual:
Place all images under img / soul_ocarina folder. If the folder is not existent, please do create one.
For the Key Images, they are named after what key they are. A is A, B is B and so on.
Max Number of Notes
This one is the max counter before the ocarina stops accepting more notes. This means that even if the number of notes for one piece is 7 and your counter is 10, it would execute the piece right away and clears the counter. So, if you input more than the max number of notes, it won't accept it anymore and just transfers you to the map.
To add your own musical piece, do this on a script call:
$gameSystem.createSongPiece(key, commonEvent);
key is the list of keys. Enclosed in a [], separated in commas.
commonEvent is the common event ID executed when the ocarina plays this pattern.
$gameSystem.createSongPiece(['D', 'E', 'B', 'D', 'E', 'B'], 6);
^ when you play the ocarina and you successfully made
DEBDEB, common event 6 would be executed.
Q: What does a common event for the Ocarina looks like?
A: First and foremost, you would have to setup the things you want to happen when the music is correct. In my case, for example, let's say that the player played Song of Storms correctly, this is how I would put it:
The correct tune executes the common event. Don't forget to reclaim your BGM in the end. The reason why I chose common event rather than scripting the whole thing is that when you do eventing, this allows you to have a better control of what you want to do, rather than being limited to what's inside the plugin parameters, for that matter. This way, it gives you more creativity to what you want to achieve in each song.
That's it for this plugin and I hope you use it in one of your projects.
Thank you!


text: I have a 10,500 sq ft yard of new Kentucky Bluegrass sod. It was put in in late July so Im ready to do the first application of fertilizer. I waited this long because I did not want to proceed without getting a soil report first. I have that now and it reports that, per year / per 100 sq ft, I need 4 lbs of nitrogen (high maintenance schedule because of sprinkler system), 1.2 lbs of phosphate and 1.3 lbs of potassium. So Im thinking I need to find something with a 4-1-1 ratio. Is there a brand or source you could steer me towards? If my math is correct, Ill need to lay down about 42 pounds of N, and 12-13 pounds each of P and K per year for my lawn. What is the best schedule for doing this?

Souvenirs to Look for on a South India Tour
No holiday, however pleasant, can be relived with the proper accompanying feelings of pleasure and satisfaction without gazing at a souvenir that you bought there. Souvenirs may be handicrafts, carvings, statues, clothing, carpets, idols, paintings and many others. Souvenirs reflect the charm and unique culture associated with the destination. They are made using local raw materials like wood, stone, fabric or dyes and crafted in a style peculiar to that part of the world. The principal aim is to bring back the exciting sensations of a past travel experience. Any South India tour package is made more interesting with local souvenirs. Walking to a local bazaar, enjoying the spread of merchandise and eventually purchasing one is an experience with its own attendant lure. Here's a look at some souvenirs that must be penciled in when you make your South India travel plan.
Kerala Souvenirs:
Aranmula Kannadi: This is a mirror made of a special metal alloy instead of glass which produces no refraction. These are unique mirrors found nowhere else in the world.
Nettipattom: A decorative, handcrafted elephant caparison typical of Kerala.
Nettur Petti: Ethnic jewelry boxes that make an excellent gift to someone special. The casket is made of rosewood and is heavily handcrafted and fitted with metallic handles.
Moolampilly Pottery: This unique pottery is completely handcraft and known for its durability and strength.
Coir Crafts: These environmentally friendly coir products like mats, carpets and wall-hangings are made from coconut fiber and a simple but elegant touch to your living room.
Pulppaya Mats: Made in two colors, red and black, Pulppaya mats represent some of the oldest handicrafts of Kerala. They feel smooth and cool to sit on or even sleep on.
Chennai Souvenirs:
Pattamara Mats: These are unique mats made from palymra-leaf and fiber.
Tanjore Paintings: A form of painting that dates back to 1600 AD. Tanjore paintings are popularly known for their exclusivity, variety, vivid coloring and compactness. The themes usually show Gods and Goddesses or saints.
Bronze Carvings: The carvings of South India made of bronze with a large copper content mixed in it. The statuettes are usually religiously based on Lord Siva or his saints. This form of carving depicts the movement of energy through the cosmos and the art form dates back to 8 BC.
Kancheepuram Silks: This exquisite silk material has held the world spellbound with its delicate tapestry of colors and patterns. You can buy pure silk for making cushion covers, or wall hangings apart from saris.
Pondicherry Souvenirs:
Pondicherry is famous for its incredible range of reddish tinged terracotta artifacts which include pots, lamps, statues, stoneware cups and saucers. Apart from terracotta, Pondicherry is famous for its perfumed candles, Kolu dolls and leather products.
Andaman and Nicobar Souvenirs:
Well-known for shell artifacts and jewelry, coconut shell lamps, bamboo cane crafts and coral jewelry.

If you decide to rush a fraternity or join a sorority, there are several factors you should take into account before you get overwhelmed by all the attention they are giving you. The brothers or sisters have their own agenda, and need to fill up the house with a new pledge class every year. Look at the clothes everyone is wearing, and especially their shoes. Are these the same clothes and shoes that you always wear? How do people talk? Do they make sense to you, and seem like the same crowd of friends you left back home?
Nobody wants to feel left out, so you may find yourself spending money you can't afford, and focusing more on fitting into your fraternity or sorority house, than concentrating on doing well in college. Alternatively, if you fit right in, the frats and sororities can be a great place to spend you college career, making life-long friendships, and having the time of your life. Beyond degree requirements such as Alabama State University fraternities and sororities, you may consider Southern Crescent Technical College final exams for complementary electives to your primary course of study.

Specially Made Metal Roofing Hamilton VA
Specially Made Metal Roofing Hamilton VA
We have created a patented roof ventilation system for Metal Roofing Hamilton VA. We tested the temperature outside and it was 96 degrees outside and it was 150 degrees in the attic. Then once we installed our new under metal roofing ventilation system we then tested the outside temperature and waited for a day that was also 96 degrees, we then tested the attic and to our amazement it was only 96 degree at the base and 103 degrees at the peak of the attic.
We are the Metal Roofing Company Alpha Rain. We have never seen these outcomes before in a system that is truly budget friendly. Our company have been researching this kind of air flow product for more than 9 years and the prevalent problem related to the systems from the past was without a doubt the price needed installing them. Most of the good old days methods use a counter batten wood system, which while it could attain various results the price is definitely way out of hand, also you are using a good deal of natural resources that with our new under roof ventilation system you will not be using. If you like looking for procedures when it comes to your house that will save you money on your cooling costs in the warm summer months then you really should at the very least consult with us and identify exactly what your options are. Our direct numbers are shown below and we are a very low pressure business pertaining to Metal Roofing Hamilton VA.
In this article we have our relevant information and contact information, and also below I offer a web site to the Metal Roofing Alliance. This is exactly where you may search for other contractors, in addition to just us Alpha Rain. Our company believes that our competitors will not be able to deliver to you product or services similar ours like our ventilation system or our newly launched Econo Steel Roofing Comparable Cost as Shingles. We leave it up to you the potential client to evaluate for yourself. Have a look at the video in this article called Metal Roofing Hamilton VA.
We are a part of the Metal Roofing Alliance as listed above, which is a great place to get more metal roofing information. Please Contact us for more information or for a free estimate for Metal Roofing Hamilton VA or if you live in or around, Arlington, Fairfax, or any other part of Northern Virginia, Leesburg, or Charlottesville contact us for prices on your new steel roofing.

Picture: Primal Scream performing at Connect Music Festival 2007 at Inverary Castle Argyll, Scotland - 01.09.07
PRIMAL SCREAM star Bobby Gillespie has laughed off his attack on Kylie Minogue at last year's (05) Glastonbury Festival - insisting they are close friends. The singer outraged fans of the cancer-suffering singer when he shouted from the festival stage "Did anyone come to see Kylie? F**k you." Minogue had been forced to pull out of the festival to undergo breast cancer treatment. But Gillespie claims their friendship with the Australian pop star goes back a long way. He says, "I was trying to wind up the crowd, but it never worked because they were too dead. "We love Kylie. She asked us to write a song for her once, but we were in such a bad state we couldn't write a song for ourselves."

Does your social media marketing provider have experience in a wide variety of SMM (social media marketing) platforms? Understanding how to use Facebook, Twitter, Google Plus, Pinterest, Tumblr and Instagram are all vital parts of a successful SMM campaign.
Social media marketing is a must have, must use, advertising tool for any business. The stats below represent American social network users, by age, and the amount of time they spend on social media:
18-34-year-olds report spending 3.8 hours a day;
35-49-year-olds report spending 3 hours per day;
50-64-year-olds report spending 2.4 hours per day;
The opportunity to reach your customers on a variety of social media networks is absolutely amazing. It starts by providing engaging and useful content. Content planning requires research into what and how your competitors create 'organically' shared content among users. Like a competitive keyword analysis done for search an analysis of a competitors social media conversations can go a long way in helping to narrow the focus of your social media marketing strategy.
Paid social media advertising is a great part of the social media marketing toolbox but it shouldn't be the only part. Joining in the conversations happening right now on your social networks helps to create a new tool in your SMM toolbox; organic social media.
Triangle Direct Media has demonstrated it success by growing and maintaining social media marketing campaigns for clients across a wide variety of SMM networks. If you would like to learn more about Social Media Management and how we can build your online identity contact us today for a free consultation.

Finally the right kind of information is coming out of DC, 9 potential DC films and we know the names of a few. The rest Ill just have to speculate/pray for.
According to reports there are 9 DC movies being planned right now. That doesn't mean we are getting 9 DC movies any time soon though, this seems like a floor plan for what is to come. Remember Marvel producer Kevin Feige said that they have every movie planned until 2028, guess it doesn't hurt to plan ahead. Well this is DC kick starting their efforts and making a statement that they are on track to pump out the required movies to both satisfy their shared universe and any one offs.
So what are these 9 movies, well we have known for awhile about the Sandman, now we are told that movies for the Metal Man, Fables, 100 Bullets and Shazam are in the works. When I first heard about the 9 DC films I was all smiles, then I read the names of the 5 reported ones. To be honest, I completely ignored everything I was reading because I saw the name SHAZAM (Captain Marvel if you refuse to acknowledge the name change). Being a big fan of the guy I was glad there was one name I could say my friends would also know. It is pretty big news even though its just a name on a piece of paper with no attached actors, director or known script. Yet we all know he will eventually make it into the Justice League. How can they not, if they are confident enough to add Cyborg into [Batman vs. Superman](movie:711870) then they can add Shazam into Justice league. If you are scratching your head over the other names on the list then go search them up, I think you'll be surprised. The only question now is what are the other movies from the list of 9.
We all know by now that the Justice League has been announced and also given a director. That guy, incase you missed it is [Man of Steel](movie:15593) director, Zack Snyder. I think most people assumed that since he also got the job for Man of Steel 2 (Batman vs Superman) that he would helm the Justice League. Which is funny since now it's official there seem to be a lot of upset fan boys. I guess they were waiting for the official word so they could officially complain on the comment pages. I love it though, the controversy that DC throws out constantly is prime fuel for people who weren't fans of Man of Steel. I guess it was just a neck snap to far for some.
With Batman vs Superman (or what ever they end up calling it) coming out in 2016 (seems so far away) people speculated that Justice League would follow in 2017 being shot back to back with BvS. Now that it's confirmed to be happening we'll still have to wait on the date and thats one of the interesting things with DC films, the timing. We all know the winning formula for Marvel, release stand alone films for each hero then smash them together in Avengers and watch the magic happen. As for DC, well its doing its own thing. Good on for them I say, do they want to follow the exact same formula as Marvel? Wouldn't that sort of amount to saying that their biggest competitor is doing it right and completely nailing it? DC stated that Man of Steel was their spring board into their shared universe and if it did well (which it did), then they would gear up for more DC films.
So we have 5 films with already stated, what are the other 4? Green Lantern, Flash, [Wonder Woman](movie:45787), Martian Manhunter, Black Adam, [Aquaman](movie:264237), the other Green Lantern (John Stuart), even cyborg is on my list now that he's officially in BvS. There are so many possibilities to think of, 'm just throwing out the most obvious ones but theres sure to be many surprises considering some of the ones they already stated.
Since we know that Justice League is coming my thoughts turn to the two big characters from Justice League who aren't in BvS (that we know). Flash and Green Lantern will 100% be in JL, why you ask? Because the internet would explode if they aren't. Also what about Martin Manhunter, surely he's going to be in one of the JL movies. The same can be said of Aquaman, once the joke of the Justice League, has turned into a badass in his own right. Thanks to the comics and some of the animated stuff he's gone from zero to Hell yes. If your up to date with your easter eggs from Man of Steel you will know all about the hints towards some of the characters I just mentioned. If not go search those up too, there were so many I missed mainly because they were on screen for a fraction of a second.
So DC is actually gearing up and fans are getting the feeling that the shared universe is going to be epic just like Marvels shared universe. Theres no competition between the two right now, Marvel has it hands down. Shared Universe wise anyway, they did start way back in 2008 and DC only started in 2013.
All I can say is, what movies are you hoping for in the near future? Do you even know of the characters I'm talking about, if so release your trove of knowledge for those who have no clue as to who or what is going on.

Zanzibar - Tanzanian officials have given up hope of rescuing more than 80 people still missing after a ferry sank off the Indian Ocean island of Zanzibar, with the death toll of 62 set to rise.The vessel, which was officially carrying 291 passengers and crew, including more than 30 children, went down in choppy waters off Zanzibar on Wednesday after leaving Tanzania's commercial capital Dar es Salaam."Search operations continue but it is now almost impossible survivors will be found," Zanzibar police spokesperson Mohamed Mhina told reporters, raising the prospect that about 145 may have died."The ship has completely sunk. There were 290 people on board," he saidTanzanian President Jakaya Kikwete said in a statement: "this tragedy affects all of us, and the pain and suffering of those affected is the pain and suffering that we feel".Officials said emergency workers had rescued 146 people and recovered 62 bodies.Two foreign tourists were initially reported to be among the dead, but hospital administrator Omari Abdallan said so far only one "body of a white person" was in the morgue.Anxious relatives of those missing were also losing hope of seeing their loved ones again."My two wives had gone to Dar es Salaam to visit relatives, but on their return, this is what happened," said 72-year-old Abdullay Yussuf."I do not have hope of finding them alive. I only ask Allah to give me their bodies, so I can bury them with dignity."
sumatra,do your work properly.deal with the operators of these vessels harshly..!
He said it is God's will and no one should be blamed. It was on TV if you don't believe me.

Half an hour passes quickly when you're otherwise occupied. I almost lost track of time while getting ready for work! Luckily, I caught myself and got to a computer in time to get this beauty of a post up.
We have been signed up to participate in the 2009 Blogathon for a couple of weeks. At the time, we had no other plans whatsoever for this singular Saturday. Last weekend, however, our situation changed drastically. For our new readers, allow me to provide a bit of back story.
On April 2, 2009, Lindsey (World of Meh co-author; you'll meet her in a few hours) and I suddenly decided to get married after being engaged since June 19, 2008. This came as a bit of a surprise to most people, as they had less than 24 hours notice for the wedding. Because of this, many of the celebrations and congratulations one traditionally expects were unable to occur, which brings us to last weekend and our modified situation.
My mother decided that tomorrow was the day she would throw us a big family party to celebrate the wedding. It would hardly be polite to decline such an offer even if we wanted to, so we accepted, already considering our game plan for the Blogathon. On top of this, however, two of my very good friends from Sacramento (three hours from Fresno, our home town) were able to attend as well, meaning we would be entertaining guests in our home all day! Including my time at work, our entire day is booked with activities other than the Blogathon!
However, we have made a commitment to the Blogathon, ourselves, and our readers. We will not disappoint! Every half hour, for 24 hours, a new post will be up on the World of Meh, obstacles be damned!
See you in 30 minutes!
-Because I said so

Posted on 09/24/2005 3:27:17 PM PDT by blam
Reuters - Fri Sep 23,11:08 AM ET A more than 27,000 year-old grave with the bodies of two babies is pictured near Krems in Lower Austria September 23, 2005.
Archaeologists of the Prehistoric Commission of the Austrian Academy of Scienses (OeAW) excavated the bodies which were covered with an omoplate of a mammoth. This is the oldest grave ever found in Austria. REUTERS/HO/OeAW Praehistorische Kommission
Let's see: How about C14 dating the mammoth omoplate that covered the burial and leaving the human remains in situ?
Sounds like reasonable archaeological technique to me...
thanx...see my post # 30
Bush's fault.
If you mean the Great Pyramid of Giza, one of the Seven Wonders of the World, it most certainly is a tomb. It was also covered in the most beautiful marble at one time, most of which now covers floors and walls in Cairo.
Oh, I see, and your evidence that Lee Harvey Oswald did not act alone came from that movie staring that Dances With Wolves guy? Right
It was a joke FRiend....however, believing that all the workers were just a bunch of union laborers, happily dragging 100 ton stones around the desert is slightly more than unbelievable and borders on ridiculous.
It will be interesting to see what else is discovered about the babies. Were they twins? Some cultures consider twins unlucky, but I don't know if any such cultures are known to have existed in Europe. Of course the date assigned to this burial is so much earlier than any historical European societies that it would be risky to assume cultural continuity.
Richard -III involved?
Limestone, not marble.
Some of the information may be good, but not all of it--I saw some statements which were dubious or definitely false. Kurdish is an Indo-European language so not related to Basque. The Etruscans had monogamous marriages--they did not behave like bonobos.
"Who Built the Pyramids?"
"Not slaves. Archeaologist Mark Lehner, digging deeper, discovers a city of privileged workers."
by Jonathan Shaw
"There were slaves in Egypt, says Lehner, but the discovery that pyramid workers were fed like royalty buttresses other evidence that they were not slaves at all, at least in the modern sense of the word. Harvard's George Reisner found workers' graffiti early in the twentieth century that revealed that the pyramid builders were organized into labor units with names like "Friends of Khufu" or "Drunkards of Menkaure."
It's Bush's fault.
There is no evidence inside the great pyramid that it was ever intended or used as a tomb, and as I said, there are no Egyptian scripts or hieroglphics anywhere inside that pyramid, other than graffiti that Egyptian fortune hunters left.
There are modern names given to various passages and chambers in the Pyramid, but they they are all assumed labels that modern explorers gave them. There are no Egyptian descriptions of the great pyramid's construction at all, none that are contemporaneous with any of the historical dates given for its construction and nothing, nada, zip inside the Pyramid - unlike every other "tomb" of any size anywhere in Egypt.
The Pharoah Kufu tried to put his name on the great Pyramid, after his workmen could not figure out how to get into the center of the Pyramid. He tried to rewrite the Pyramid's history in what he had historans write at the time, but he failed to destroy the earlier histories that already referred to it long before his time.
Both the great Pyramid and the Sphinx are enigmas (their origins lost in history) and likely predate formal Egyptian history.
So what were the boats for?
No one is sure, and all is speculation, about the boats and "boat pit" found near the Pyramid.
There is no assurance that the boat was buried - as in "covered up", because the condition of the surrounding earth it was found in is the same as core samples of earth in many places around the pyramid; indicating some possibility that it was not buried, other than by time. That feature together with the fact that the base of the pyramid is lower than the base of the "boat" pit, and the clear sign of water erosion on the base of the Sphinx, provides some speculation that the Pyramid was once surrounded by a man made canal or moat running between the plateau the Pyramid sits on and a natural or man made lake that once surrounded the Sphynx.
When funery boats are associated with "tombs" they were not buried outside a "tomb" but placed in them.
There is also speculation that Kufu, having claimed the great Pyramid for himself in his time and long it was built, may have attempted to imitate his funery assemblenge outside the Pyramid - since he knew nothing of the inner chambers and had no way to "move" his funnery works into it.
Had the Pyramid been constructed as a "tomb" then the inner chambers and tunnels would have been decorated. During construction, the sides of the stones that would become the walls of the chambers and tunnels would have been carved by stone masons and Egyptian script and hieroglyphics painted on top of the carved surfaces, telling the life stories, adventures and conquests of the figure "buried" in the "tomb". The great pyramid has none of these attributes and no evidence inside that it ever did have such attributes. The total absence of these features makes it unlike any "tomb" of any noteworthy person in historical Egypt.
Another anomalie of the great Pyramid is that it exhibits two major features that seem contradictory to each other. From mathematical, engineering and astronomical perspectives the great Pyramid is far more advanced than any other human-engineered structure anywhere in Egypt, and yet it is among the oldest man-made structures in Egypt, and particularly older than all other Pyramid structures in Egypt. Usually advanced accomplishments of a culture come later, not sooner.

Cathedral Parish School students Gabby Williams and Christine Walsh, along with Christine's mom, Patty, helped erode a mountain of tree-trimming mulch in Ron Parker Park earlier this month.
For volunteering at the garden, the students earned community service hours toward their eighth grade graduation requirement.
In about two hours one Saturday afternoon, they moved 50 wheelbarrows to mulch about a sixth of the St. Augustine Beach Community Garden.
"It was a lot of fun," Williams said.
"Yea," Walsh added. "Let us know when you want us to come again."
Students interested in helping in the garden, should email firstname.lastname@example.com.

SO excited for michaels show!
SO excited for michaels show!
I've got to say I'm loving his braces...did he have those throughout the whole show?
It's good to see that every outfit doesn't have the plunging neck to the waist look.
Michael was the only one to "present" his collection and tell a story.
It was funny how Laura talked about making it big in fashion, saying she did, while pointing at her belly.
hate to say it but his collection was kind of boring.....
Michael's street safari is up now.

My crush and I have been hanging out lately, like movies, food and drinks. Also, we been texting too. I feel like he is Interested in me, but I could be wrong because he is a really nice guy, a gentleman (paying for everything, and opening doors even the car door and walking me to my apartment) we been friends/coworkers before we hung out for the first time. Should I make the first move and tell him I like him or just go in for a kiss after we hung out?
My crush and I have been hanging out for a while, but he hasn't made the first move. Also is it dating or talking?
What Guys Said 1
Go for the kiss00|00|0
What Girls Said 1
Is he being flirtatious at all? If he is spending a lot of time with you and texting you then he is definitely interested. In my experience it can take some guys a long time to make a move. I don't envy them for having that on their shoulders, I can never make the first move!!! Yeah, I say go for it if you can do it otherwise make it very obvious that you are interested and he won't get rejected if he does.11|00|0

Customers need to identify with a business on an emotional level before they are in a position to buy. They need to feel that the business is adding value to their life.
It can be quite common for businesses to never meet their customers face to face in the digital world that many of us conduct business in today.
How then do businesses build strong, meaningful relationships with their customers online?
Does your business have personality?
From personal observation, it is clear that some business owners do not place enough value on their interactions with others on social networks. Their activity isn't always towards communicating the personality behind their business, or genuinely trying to build a relationship with their existing and prospective customers. They simply use it as an advertising platform.
Whilst there are many who use social networks like Twitter and LinkedIn to build relationships, contribute to discussion topics and start dialogues with others, there are business owners who subscribe to the 'If I post enough adverts, someone is bound to click and buy' approach.
In a world where customers demand transparency from business, and want to build some degree of a relationship with a company before buying, the above approach simply doesn't work.

1.5 Successful Social Media Campaigns and What You Can Learn From Them
2.How To Overcome The Fear Of Social media
Customers, both existing and prospective will be following you on Twitter, checking out your Facebook page or connecting with you on LinkedIn, and this gives you, as a business owner, a fantastic opportunity to connect with your customers and communicate the personality behind your business.
Do your customers really 'know' you?
'As a small business, one of the worst things you can do is hide behind the company name and become a faceless brand' – David Arthur
Many customers like to feel that they know the company that they are buying their goods or services from, and as a small business owner, the opportunity to interact personally with your customers is huge!
As an example, Twitter has over 500,000,000 active users, sending between them 340,000,000 tweets a day. You need to stand out in the way you use your social media platforms so that your business gets noticed, for the right reasons!
You need your customers to be able to engage emotionally with your business, and feel that every time you interact with them, you are seeking to add some value to their life.
But how?
Why not congratulate someone you follow on Twitter for an award they have won?
Why not send the link to a fantastic video you have seen to your customers or connections and add some value to their day.
By doing things slightly differently, taking a 'value adding' approach to your digital marketing, you will increase your customer engagement and this will ultimately lead to more repeat business, recommendations and customer satisfaction.
I cannot stress enough the important of being 'social' when it comes to implementing your social media strategy.

When you think of attorney advertising — what do you think of?
Unfortunately for most of us, the image of the personal injury attorney bashing the insurance companies comes to mind instead of a legal professional helping a client understanding the virtues of title insurance, wills and trusts, secession planning or other services so vital to the financial and legal health of a family or business.
It does not have to be that way.
Having an trusted legal advocate on your team is invaluable. Regardless of your age, income, familial status or vocation, we all will have a need for legal advocacy at some point and having a trusted member already on the team often means heading off trouble before it even starts.
Using real estate settlement as the pulpit, the legal practitioner providing closing services should be leveraging the opportunity to promote a full range of legal services. Buying or selling a home generally signifies a shift in lifestyle and when lifestyles shift, legal frameworks do as well. But far more often than not, those in the legal profession do a poor job of marketing their services, typically via print or drip, and lose the perfect opportunity to market themselves and their other services.
We can help.
By taking the fundamentals of small business marketing, Hither can help those in the legal profession market services over and above real estate settlement and help build recurring revenue in additional practice areas.

The HELIX 12 CHIRP SI GPS is the head of the HELIX family from Humminbird. Not only it offers just about everything else the other, smaller units offer, it also has a huge display, comes with a HD transducer, and features CHIRP sonar technology.
It's one of the best, if not the best Humminbird fish finder and GPS combos for 2016, and so far, in terms of price / quality ratio it stands quite a bit higher than the ONIX 10 SI Combo. So, let's see what this unit has to offer.
To begin with,
