(Anybody call for a link to yesterday's post?)
Jennifer staggers down the walkway of the sorority house, her awkward movements caused by fatigue instead of alcohol. One of the sisters starts walking toward the younger woman, a joyous grin appearing at the thought of yelling at someone. She skids to a stop when her potential victim yawn so wide that the sound reminds everyone of a lion. Wavering on her feet, Jennifer rubs her eyes and makes it to the door where she nearly falls asleep with her forehead against the poster-covered wood. She slaps herself in the face and gets inside where she holds up a textbook as a sign that she was studying. Approached by two more members, she breathes in their faces to prove she has not been drinking. The mixture of soda and hot peppers nearly knocks one of them out, the other struggling not to gag. She remains in front of them until they jerk their thumbs at the staircase and go back to a paused video game.
With a lopsided smile, Jennifer takes the steps by twos and stays against the wall to avoid falling over. Making way for a group going out for the night, she gradually goes down the hallway. She pops a cough drop into her mouth as she reaches her door, a pang of anxiety striking her stomach. Putting her ear against the lock, Jennifer carefully listens for movement and voices. Hearing some shuffling and muffled words, she knocks three times and wiggles the knob to give her roommate a warning. When her neighbor steps out, she puts a finger to her lips and waves the drunken girl away. Bracing herself for the worst, the red-haired woman opens the door and walks into a situation that she has always feared.
"Dear God, you're naked and on top of him," Jennifer blurts out as she turns her back on her roommate. To her chagrin, a new mirror has been hung from the door and she is forced to close her eyes. "Most people put something on the doorknob or leave a note. Even so, I knocked and made enough noise to let you know I was outside. You could have at least thrown something over yourself or . . . dismounted."
"Nothing can be done in the heat of the moment," Natalie casually says while she gets off her nervous boyfriend. She smacks his hands when he tries to cover himself up, but he manages to pull the covers up to his neck. "Don't be such a prude. Not like you have anything she hasn't seen some version of. Well, I'm not done with our romantic evening. So, you either go somewhere else or try to sleep over there. Keep in mind that staying here will result in me spreading the word that you're a voyeur."
Unable to keep her eyes closed without falling asleep, Jennifer does her best to walk further into the room and avert her gaze. "I'm too tired to deal with this, but you're not giving me much of a choice. Please stop being a bitch to me for tonight and I'll give you the room tomorrow. I just want to sleep. If I go to the lounge then all the noise will keep me up and I won't be able to get to my classes."
"Don't say a word because you've already disappointed me once tonight," the black-haired roommate snaps, stopping her muscular boyfriend from speaking. Moving to remain in the other girl's line of sight, she puts her hands behind her back to help push out her chest. "I don't really care about your classes. Flunk out and let me get a single because this place would be better without you. Always practicing your lines and never let me smoke in here. I should be with my best friend down the hall, but they had to put me with you. The only way I can get rid of you is for you to quit as a pledge or as a student. Considering how much I hate you, I want you out of the school."
"Why do you hate me so much?"
"Because you're annoying."
"We've only known each other for half a semester."
"And it feels like years."
"Fine, I'll try to sleep in the lounge. Have fun bumping herpes sores."
Jennifer angrily slams the door behind her, which causes the mirror to fall and smash against the floor. With a victorious smile, Natalie locks the deadbolt and skips over to the bed where she yanks the covers off her boyfriend. She is about to crawl onto the narrow mattress when a cold breeze strikes her skin and threatens to calm her down. The irritated woman reaches over to turn off her roommate's desktop fan and violently yanks the plug out of the socket. Using a scissor to cut the cord, Natalie drops the broken device in the garbage and happily skips back to the bed where her boyfriend is starting to fall asleep. A stronger blast of cold air hits her, the frigid gale giving her goosebumps and making her shiver. The blinds move to reveal the open window where a raven is calmly sitting, its back to the room.
"Get lost, bird," Natalie hisses as she shoves the animal away. Closing and locking the window, she flips off a person outside who pulls out a camera to take her picture. "Why did you turn on the fan and open the window? We barely did anything that would make you work up a sweat. Wake up, James, because I'm not done with you."
"Weren't you a little too mean to her?" the young man asks while grabbing a nearby water bottle. He gets up to stretch his legs and rub his back, the cheap mattress and box spring making his muscles ache. "I know that you don't like her, but having sex to get her out of the room might be a bit too far. Kind of tough to stay in the moment too. Not that seeing you naked isn't helping, but I keep fearing that she'll come back in."
Tiptoeing to the door to avoid the glass, she closes the chain lock and rattles the knob to prove it will not open. "Even a key can't get her back inside, so she's gone for the night. Look, I'm really sorry about putting you in an awkward position. Let me make it up to you for the rest of the night. All I ask is that we have sex in her bed. Give me that one gift and I will make it worth your while for a month."
"That's why you changed her sheets," James mutters as he wonders if he has any control over the situation. Eyeing the other bed, he notices that it looks more comfortable than the creaky one that his girlfriend was given. "My back and knees could really use a break. Not that I'm saying we stop, but the springs over here keep poking me. Do we have to tell her that we did anything? That sounds like something you could get in trouble for. I mean, me and the guys have certain rules when it comes to this. One of them is that you don't have sex in a roommate's bed unless you're ready to buy them new sheets. After all, things happen when you really get into it like that time last week."
"You're never going to stop gloating about that one," the black-haired woman says, a faint smile on her face. Running a finger along Jennifer's desk, she sits in the chair and shifts until she is comfortable. "As far as I know, there is no rule against it, but I would only get in trouble if she finds out. You'd never tell her about what we're doing because you don't want to upset me. My back would appreciate the change too. Please, let me ride you on my roommate's bed, which has a better bounce."
James hesitates until Natalie licks her lips and stretches her arms over her head, a lustful look in her eyes. Unable to hold back his desire, the young man finishes his water bottle and grabs a condom from a jar. He gives a final look at his girlfriend, who shows no sign of changing her mind. As she gets to her feet, James pulls back the heavy blanket and jumps into Jennifer's bed. The instant he lies down, the bed snaps shut with enough force to break his spine and slowly suffocate him in the soft material. His toes stick out of the top of the folded mattress, only one of them twitching.
Natalie grabs James's flailing arm and tries to pull him free, but the limb tears off at the shoulder. She chokes back a scream out of fear of being blamed for what she assumes is a horrible accident. With people knowing about her aggression and pranks toward Jennifer, it would not be a surprise for anyone to consider she boobytrapped the bed. Her mind spiraling into paranoia and panic, Natalie drops the arm and backs to the door. The soles of her feet are sliced up by the broken mirror, the pain momentarily snapping her out of her fear. She turns around to undo the chain, but her arms shake too much for her to get it open. Backing to the middle of the room, she looks down at her bloody footprints. A burning pain runs through her body and she holds up her hand to watch a glass shard come out of her palm. Coughing up blood, Natalie feels more of the mirror pieces weave their way through her insides. Amazed that she is aware of what is happening, the black-haired woman collapses to the floor and reaches out to take her boyfriend's severed arm. The last thing she sees is her vision splitting as two shards slowly push out through her eyes.

I served in the Navy, but I have always admired the Marine Corp as the premier fighting force of our country. For that reason, I am not surprise to hear that the investigation into the terrorist attack in Chattanooga indicated that the marines who died there stood their ground, and saved the lives of others by their actions.
Now, the Obama administration has said that these brave Marines will not receive Purple Hearts, unless it is proven that the attack was inspired by a foreign terrorist group.
In other words, the Obama Administration believes this attack was the action of a lone wolf, with no ties to any overseas Islamic terrorist organization. That sounds very much like what the government did to the soldiers who were killed and injured by Major Hasan at Fort Hood.
If Obama does not immediately award the Purple Heart posthumously to these heroes, Congress should take up the matter and change the requirements on who can and can not receive this honor.
Those Marines died fighting for their country and their families deserve all of the benefits that should come from their sacrifices.

The 10-second rule
Growing up my mother would always say, never put off till tomorrow what you can do today - I think it had something to do with schoolwork I was falling behind on or something like that.
I believe we are addicted to procrastination in a lot of areas of our lives. This also affects our Christian lives and the claims of Christ and the wonderful privilege we have of the leading of His spirit. I believe this procrastination leads to ineffectiveness. When we disobey God's will and intention for our lives it can produce real consequences in the big decisions we make. It can also create just as many undesirable results when it comes to the little things that could be happening in our every day lives. I read this Blog post and loved it. It's called the 10-second rule and it challenged me and I hope it challenges you as well.
(It's a simple rule for a revolutionary life!)
What does it actually mean to follow Jesus? Simply put, it means to believe Jesus' message and obey it. So, why is it we don't obey more often than we do?
Years ago I noticed that during the course of my day I'd have an impression from the Holy Spirit to do something I was reasonably certain Jesus wanted me to do. It would be an impression to either do something good for someone or refrain from doing something wrong. It might be to stop for a car broken down on the highway, speak to a co-worker about Jesus, or simply turn off my computer before I ended up at a site where no Christian should go.
Almost simultaneously I would sense another voice whispering to discourage me. "You don't have time to do that – helping that person could get messy – you can't afford to help them right now – stand up for your rights – you deserve it – it's okay, once more won't kill you." If I listened to this other voice and thought about it long enough, the moment for obedience would pass, often to my relief. It finally dawned on me that by procrastinating on being obedient to Jesus, I was unintentionally teaching myself the habit of disobedience. Why is that?
Why did I hesitate? Because I knew that most decisions to obey would cost me something – time, money, embarrassment, inconvenience, or a momentary pleasure denied. By choosing not to obey Jesus, I avoided all of that! So the reason I wasn't more obedient to God? Without hardly thinking about it, I automatically counted the cost and the price seemed too high for me.
Then a decade ago a lay pastor from China taught me a simple rule that could break that cycle:
The 10 Second Rule:
"Just do the next thing you're reasonably certain Jesus wants you to do."
(and do it immediately before you change your mind!)
"If you love me, you will obey what I command."
-John 14:15
So, I intentionally committed myself to become more sensitive to the leading of God, and to practising simple, spontaneous obedience. As I did, I began developing the habit of obedience. I actually began looking for ways to follow Jesus daily, even hourly. As a result, obedience became an adventure rather than a duty.
Christian experience over the centuries has proven that godly character is most powerfully shaped by the cumulative effect of thousands of small obedient decisions. And these small decisions prepare us to be even more faithful when major, crisis-of-faith challenges come our way.
Here is the true power behind The 10 Second Rule: Even though every Christian knows we can never obey Jesus perfectly all of the time, that's no longer an excuse. We do know this: we can do the next thing we're reasonably certain Jesus wants us to do.
This is obedience you can do – obedience you'll want to do!
The point of doing The Rule is to help you develop the habit of simple obedience so you are prepared to be more faithful to Jesus than you ever imagined you could!
My prayer is that try living by The Rule for the next 30 days. See for yourself how deeply satisfying it is to be led by Jesus, moment by moment and day by day.
(or even in the next 10 seconds!)

Food-borne bacteria cause illness in 1 in 6 annually: T.O. health report
Bacteria in food make about one in six people in Toronto sick every year, according to a report released Friday by the city's public health department.
Dr. David McKeown, Toronto's medical officer of health, presented the report, Food Safety in Toronto and Food-borne Illness in Toronto, to the city's board of health.
About 437,000 people develop a food-borne illness each year, which adds up $500 million in health-care costs and lost productivity, McKeown said.
Both McKeown's report and another report also released on Friday by Ontario's chief medical officer of health, Dr. David Williams, recommended expanding the provincial laboratory's capacity to rapidly identify bacterial strains — a task currently done at federal labs in Winnipeg and Ottawa.
The Canadian Food Inspection Agency is the main federal agency responsible for food safety, but neither federal nor provincial inspection reports of slaughterhouses and food processing plants are routinely disclosed to the public, the report noted.
McKeown also recommended that:
- The government of Ontario and the Canadian Food Inspection Agency "require full and timely disclosure of the food safety performance of all food premises they inspect, including premises inspected by local public health units."
- All levels of government review their roles and responsibilities in handling outbreaks.
- The CFIA review its recall policies and procedures to ensure foods are publicly recalled when "epidemiologic evidence provides reasonable and probable grounds to conclude that cases of food-borne illness are linked to consumption of the product."
Toronto Public Health investigates an average of 163 outbreaks of food-borne illness each year, including those in daycares and long-term care homes. Some infections are mild and are never reported.
Food safety hurdles
But mass production of foods in North America expands the potential for consumers to become sick from bacteria such as Listeria monocytogenes, E. coli and shigella, the report said.
As food moves through multiple jurisdictions, the ability to control, monitor and ensure the safety of food in Toronto has become more difficult.
Greater global travel also means that people are increasingly exposed to food-borne pathogens that were uncommon in Canada and may not be easily diagnosed and treated.
Although the trend toward eating more meals outside of the home causes greater exposure to food-borne illnesses, a consistent provincial strategy for educating consumers about food safety in the home is also needed, McKeown said.
An earlier provincial report estimated that about half of cases of intestinal illnesses may be linked to homes, but it was not specific to food-borne illnesses.
The report will be shared with federal and provincial officials, the CFIA, and Sheila Weatherill, who is leading a federal investigation into last summer's listeriosis outbreak that killed 21 people.
Weatherill's report is due in July.

The big day has come. You have made it to the job fair, you are dressed professionally and focused. So, now what?
It is important to understand that campus recruiters travel a lot, do multiple careers fairs, and are under great pressure to find great candidates. They are also about to be bombarded by hundreds of students, most of whom are not qualified. They are really looking for a small amount of impressive students who have great qualifications, good energy, and a passion for their future who they hope will be a fit for what they are looking for.
To stand out as one of the top candidates, follow these 9 tips on how to approach and engage with these companies and organizations.
1. Show up early
First things first: you need to show up early. Being punctual as a student only enforces the idea that you will be a great employee that shows up on time. This also gives you time to review your notes and the companies you are interested in. Also the recruiters are fresh and the crowds smaller at the opening hour. 2. Show up by yourself
This is just as important as showing up early. Just think—you don't need someone who could be less prepared than you as a distraction during this great opportunity. You don't want someone 'following you' or trying to fight for airtime when you engage with the recruiters. Going solo will help you to be focused and at your best.
3. Have your collaterals and other resources ready
Bring business cards(for networking), resumes, something to write with, paper for any notes you need to jot down along the way, and a professional-looking bag or folio to keep all of these materials organized. 4.Review your summary statements
You may get asked any or all of these things by a recruiter, so make sure you don't get blindsided—have the answers prepared to be able to respond quickly and firmly. If done well, they will want to ask you more.
5. Bring your best attitude
This goes beyond smiling. Have a great energy in the room, give firm handshakes and maintain eye contact when talking to a recruiter personally. Be sure to also speak clearly and in a professional manner. Remember with great preparation, your confidence and your attitude will elevate. If you did not prepare as much as you wanted to, it is OK to walk out, do a bit of quick research and engage with that recruiter in a more prepared way. 6. If you're nervous, start small
Don't feel ready to hit up your top targeted companies at moment one? If you are nervous and trying to find your footing, practice your elevator pitch and conversation with the recruiters at a company prioritized lower on your list. This gives you the practice you may need to create a good flow when speaking to other recruiters. You can move up to the companies that interest you the most. By then, practice will have made you stronger.
7. Be confident and ask questions
When you're ready to introduce yourself, you should briefly cover each of the following points:
8. Don't hesitate to state your interest and intention.
If you develop a deep interest in a company, simply ask for an interview. Sympathize and say something along the lines of this: "I know you're very busy today with the fair, but could you find some time to talk further about the company and any opportunities?" If they don't have time, request a phone meeting in the next week or so. You win by staying present. Keep the 'follow up' or 'next action' ball in your court. 9. Stay organized
Keep notes together and organized after you speak with each company. By keeping each company's notes in its own section with proper headings will make the follow up easier and less confusing as you go back through your notes.
This is critical. You will talk to so many people onthe day of the fair that if you want to follow up well, you must take good notes. I suggest as you exit the booth, step outside and detail comments that you will use in your follow up. It will pay off big time when you tie-down with them.
If you are an underclassman and you feel as though you will not get an offer or interview because of your age and status, don't worry! Now you will have an advantage for the next career fair if you follow up and build a relationship with the company. Many of the same recruiters return, and if you follow up correctly, they will be sure to remember you.

The Medical Minute: Stay Safe Around the House this Summer
By Susan Rzucidlo, R.N.
Each of five major child injury hazards — motor vehicles, drowning, burns, falls and poison — can be found in the back yard or around your home during the summer. Riding mowers, inflatable pools, home playground equipment and even natural vegetation and sunlight require a few simple precautions for a fun and safe summer break.
All of the safety guidelines you apply to sports, playgrounds and swimming apply to those activities in your own back yard. For instance, an inflatable pool needs to be surrounded by a fence, just like any other pool. Another example: Home playground needs to be anchored on an appropriate surface just like equipment on a public playground.
Here are some other simple precautions you can take to ensure safe activities in the back yard:
– Install four-sided isolation fencing with self-closing and self-latching gates around pools and spas. Wading pools should be emptied after each use and stored upside down. Always actively supervise children around water.
– Be sure home playground equipment is age-appropriate and surrounded six feet in all directions by at least 12 inches of loose fill materials such as shredded rubber or wood chips. Grass and asphalt are not safe surfaces for equipment.
– Remove potential poisons from your yard, including poisonous plants, pesticides and pool chemicals. Teach kids not to handle or eat any part of a plant unless you know it is safe.
– Keep children away from the grill area while preheating and cooking and while the grill is cooling.
– Teach children not to disturb or feed any wild animals, no matter how harmless the animals may seem.
– Look all around vehicles in the driveway before backing up to make sure that no children or adults are behind the vehicle.
– Apply sunscreen rated SPF 15 or higher to your child's exposed skin 15 to 30 minutes before going out, and reapply frequently. (It is possible to get a sunburn in cloudy conditions.)
– Make sure your child stays hydrated.
For more information on keeping you and your family safe at home, play and on the way, call the pediatric trauma program injury prevention line at 717-531-SAFE (7233).
Susan Rzucidlo, R.N., is coordinator of the Dauphin County Safe Kids Coalition and the pediatric trauma program nurse manager at Penn State Hershey Children's Hospital.

Wallace (Wally) Biederstedt
6/1/1932 — 1/25/2018
- Service Date: 2/16/2018
- Get Directions to Service
Wallace "Wally" Biederstedt, longtime resident of Lewiston, passed away Thursday, Jan. 25, 2018.
He was born June 1, 1932, in Corson County, S.D., to Sam and Elizabeth (Schock) Biederstedt. Wally lived his early years in South Dakota on his family's farm. He attended Roosevelt Country School and worked on the family farm for many years. He eventually took a job working for the local police department in his hometown and served as chief of police.
He married Dorothy Anderson in 1953, and to this union four children were born. They later divorced. Wally moved to Lewiston in 1966, and was employed by Potlatch Corp.
In 1975, he married Julie (Langley) Gregory and they celebrated 42 years of marriage.
Never an idle man, Wally owned and operated two businesses: Wally's Painting and Wally's Crawfish Traps. He retired from Potlatch Corp. in 1994, after many years with the company.
Wally was an avid outdoorsman. He loved fishing, hunting, four-wheeling and camping with family and friends. He had a wonderful sense of humor and loved interaction with his grandchildren and great-grandchildren. He will be fondly remembered for all the boat rides, fishing lessons and his ready willingness to lend a helping hand.
He was a member of the Seventh-day Adventist Church in Lewiston.
Wally is survived by his loving wife, Julie; four children, Debbie (Rich) Masters, Diane Loney, Dale (Nancy) Biederstedt, all of Lewiston, and Terry (Teri) Biederstedt of Spanaway, Wash.; two stepchildren, Roger Gregory of Oklahoma, and Sue (Jim) Van Ornum of California; 15 grandchildren; numerous great-grandchildren; a brother, Willard (Rita) Biederstedt of Lafayette, Ind.; sister Jerri Schneider of Lakeland, Minn.; and five sisters-in-law.
He was preceded in death by his parents; brothers Earl, Leroy, Marvin, Victor, Howard and Russel; sisters Ester, Ella, Irene and Virginia; stepdaughter Glenda Arden; son-in-law Oran Loney; and daughter-in-law Lilli Gregory.
A memorial service will be held at 11 a.m. Friday, Feb. 16, at the Seventh-day Adventist Church, 1212 19th St., Lewiston.

Condolences to Mrs.Biederstedt and the Biederstedt family. Have many fond memories of Wally from elk camp up at Bertha back in the eighties up until more recently visiting him at his business in Lewiston. Memories of Wally will continue to bring a smile to my face for many years to come.

Ever since Nars came out with their velvet matte lip pencils, and they proved to be popular, it seems new ranges of pencils/crayons have been popping up everywhere in time for spring. I haven't had a chance to get my hands on a Nars one, as we don't have Nars in Norwich and I prefer to shop in store when it comes to makeup, I thought I'd try out some drugstore alternatives, and landed up with the Max Factor Colour Elixir Giant Pen Stick in my basket!
I chose this one specifically because of the shade and brand - it's called 'vibrant pink' and I absolutely adore bright pinks like this for spring/summer, especially with my pale/kind of translucent skintone. I also really love the formula of Max Factor lipsticks, so I was eager to see if they could carry this into crayon format. However, I was also tempted by this No7 alternative, so hopefully I'll pick that up next time, as it's a new release (and it's matte, if that's your thing).
Max Factor have released five other shades of this product (seen here) and it only costs £6.99, which in my eyes is a total bargain. If it works.
It does have a slight sheen to it, which I like, and it's super pigmented! It wears like this on the lips too, and it's a really bright pink colour.
I've been wearing this non stop for about a week now and I absolutely love it. I've gotten many positive comments about it too, which are always nice to hear! It's really long lasting, which surprised me, and as I said, highly pigmented. I would definitely recommend using a lip scrub before applying this product though, as it does cling to dry skin - other than that, it's really moisturising and glossy, without being sticky.
Overall, this product is definitely a hit, and I can't wait to check out more shades from the range, and try out more lip crayons - any suggestions?

Missouri's new voter ID law went into effect Thursday. The state's top elections official says he doesn't know how many people don't have acceptable ID, and won't until there's a major election.
The admission by Secretary of State Jay Ashcroft may raise questions about the state's ability to ensure that voters without ID get them, and to otherwise implement the law smoothly.
Ashcroft, a Republican, told St. Louis Public Radio that he rejected the findings of a 2014 report put out by his predecessor, Democrat Jason Kander, which found that 220,000 Missourians lacked the photo ID they'd need.
Ashcroft said that number didn't take into account cleaned-up voter rolls or other forms of acceptable ID. But he acknowledged he didn't know the correct figure.
The radio station reported:
"[Ashcroft] estimated that it's more likely between 100,000 and 130,000 people would lack the proper documents to vote, but he didn't have an exact number, saying the statement people have to sign if they show up with an approved document but not a photo ID will help determine a better figure."
Under the law, Missourians without acceptable photo ID can still vote as long as they sign an affidavit on penalty of perjury, and present one of several forms of non-photo ID, like a bank statement or utility bill. As we reported, Texas recently passed legislation that modifies its voter ID law in a similar way.
The number of people who lack photo ID matters, because states need to allocate money to get IDs to voters who need them, and to educate the public about the law.
Ashcroft's office has said that $1.6 million has been allocated in the budget to publicize the law and to help people get free IDs, including helping them get the underlying documents they'd need. Democrats say the funding isn't nearly enough.
An inquiry from The Daily Democracy to Ashcroft's office about how the state was making decisions about funding without knowing how many people lack ID was not immediately returned.
An earlier photo ID law passed by Missouri was struck down by the state Supreme Court in 2006, which ruled that it violated the state Constitution. Last year, the GOP legislature passed a new law, and Missouri voters in November approved a constitutional amendment to allow voter ID.

The Ovaltine "Tinscope"
Amateur astronomers have always demonstrated remarkable inventiveness in optics and engineering, and in utilising mundane objects to produce working instruments. The tube of this telescope - made by Harry Brierley and Bert Lineham during the 1950s - consists of several Ovaltine tins.
Bert Lineham was an engineer, and for many years worked for British Timken - a company which produced roller bearings for some of the world's largest telescopes; and yet all of his own instruments which he constructed were made of the simplest materials.
The photograph below was recently supplied (via Martin Taylor) by Cliff Shutlewood - an old friend of Harry and Bert.

Flat roof systems are most common in industrial and commercial buildings and these buildings are very often covered with or coated in traditional roofing materials that are unable to withstand harsh elements, natural and man-made, over very long periods of time. This results in a series of premature damaging effects such as shrinking and pulling at seams, dissolving when exposed to certain oils and chemicals, rust and corrosion, cracking, trapping of water and warm moisture vapor, pooling of water and build-up of ice. These factors will eventually lead to leaky buildings and escalating maintenance costs.
Utilizing the latest in roofing technology, NCW has the perfect replacement solution. It is not a patch or a coating, but a complete roofing system, and it's called Duro-Last.
Features & Benefits of Flat Roofs
The Duro-Last roofing system's performance is a balance between film formulation, membrane thickness and reinforcement custom fabricated to your building's rooftop specifications. Custom prefabrication in a controlled environment ensures quality-assured products providing ultimate protection for your flat roof.
The Duro-Last roofing system is:
- Energy-efficient. Our white membrane reflects over 86% of the sun's energy, providing years of savings in cooling costs. Plus, Duro-Last is proud to be a charter partner of the ENERGY STAR® Roof Products Program. Additional local, state and federal incentives are often available.
- Watertight. Being comprised of a flexible membrane able to expand and contract with temperature changes, this roof system eliminates the risk of rooftop leaks.
- Resistant to chemicals, fire, and weather. This makes Duro-Last ideal for ANY TYPE of flat roofed business operating in our extreme hot-cold Wisconsin weather environment.
- Relatively non-disruptive to install. The membrane can be installed over most new or existing substrates virtually eliminating the need for tear-offs and disposal. Because 85% of the membrane is seamed in-factory, work crew labor time is greatly reduced.
- Clean and safe. Hot air welding is used to fully bond seams so there are no unpleasant odors or use of dangerous chemicals. And Duro-Last has earned NSF/ANSI 347 Platinum certification for sustainability.
- Code compliant. Duro-Last has been approved by the International Building Code (IBC), approved by Factory Mutual as a 1-60, 1-90, 1-105, 1-150 and 1-210 roofing system, and listed by Underwriters Laboratories as a UL Class A material.
Warranty of Our Flat Roofs
Duro-Last's warranty is considered the best in the business because:
- It is included at no additional cost to the customer.
- Each roof project is inspected upon completion by a Duro-Last Technical Representative to ensure the Duro-Last roofing system installation specifications were effectively executed for warranty approval.
- The warranty is issued directly from the Duro-Last Quality Assurance Department.
- It is valid for 15 years (40-MIL Membrane) or 20 years (50-MIL Membrane) during which time you pay nothing for materials or labor for any covered repairs and/or replacement.
- The warranty is completely transferable, at no charge, to a new building owner.

Coventry City Ladies boss Craig Nicholls hopes his side gained 'a great experience' playing the Gunners...
Coventry City Ladies manager Craig Nicholls was delighted to see a record attendance for a Ladies match at the Bedworth Oval as the Sky Blues lost 4-0 against WSL Champions Arsenal Ladies.
In their first pre-season match of the summer, City suffered defeat despite a spirited performance with Gemma Harrison, Carla Humphrey and a brace from Caroline Weir securing the win for the Gunners.
City had several chances throughout the game to get on the score-sheet with Maz Gauntlett and Ash Neville going close in the second half for the Sky Blues.
Nicholls believes the game was a 'great experience' for City as they prepare for the 2013/14 FA Women's Premier League Southern Division.
Nicholls said: "When you are playing Arsenal, it is always going to be difficult for the side, especially when it is our first pre-season match of the year.
"They have international standard players which, for the majority of the game, we matched. At times, we switched off, which was probably due to fitness and that is where Arsenal made us pay.
"We will learn a lot more from playing Arsenal from what we would do if we played a team we could beat easily. We are better off playing a side which are going to put us under pressure and work hard for the season we have coming up.
"We are looking to challenge for the title this season so a difficult pre-season is the best way to get prepared for that."
Whilst the game was the first pre-season match for City, Arsenal are currently half-way through their Women's Super League season.
Having won the Birmingham FA County Cup last season, an attendance of 172 turned up for the match and Nicholls hopes to see more people come to Ladies games in the 2013/14 season.
He added: "It was fantastic to see so many people at the game as it gives the side a real lift playing in front of more people.
"I hope the fans who turned up for the match enjoyed the experience and hopefully they will come back for more games next season.
"We want to get as many people down here as possible down here for our matches. If we can get more wins on the board and people start to hear how well we are doing, it might encourage others to come and watch a game."

It can be said that the epitome of traditional Indian fashion is the sari, which is an elegant piece of clothing worn by woman. A sari is a strip of unstitched cloth, which can range in length from four to nine metres, and is draped over the body in various styles, usually depending on the region from which the wearer originates. Most commonly, the sari is wrapped around the waist, with one end pleated and draped over the shoulder baring the midriff. It's usually over a petticoat, and a blouse known as a choli.
Another type of garment that is commonly worn by women in India is the salwar kameez. In comparison to the sari, this is easier to style and wear. It consists of a long tunic top (kameez) that hits about the middle of the thigh and pajama-like pants (salwar) that are wide at the top and narrow at the ankle. This ensemble is completed with a long scarf that is draped over one or both of your shoulders from the front.
Both the sari and and the salwar kameez are made with different types of fabrics and in various colours. Some are ornate with embroidery, gems or other decorative items and you'll also find simpler styles, depending on the occasion.
On my second night in India, I was whisked off to the market in Delhi so that I could try on some salwar kameez suits. I was accompanied by 2 of The BF's cousins and his mom, who was going to buy me three outfits from the market for the wedding festivities. These suits were to supplement the two saris that were ready and waiting for me in Mumbai. It had already been a long and busy day of settling into our accommodations, meeting family over lunch, and experiencing Indian traffic during the day for the first terrifying time of my life. By the time we got to the market, we had just over an hour to find three suits that I liked, get them altered to fit and buy them. This pace at which we were operating was pretty much setting the tone for the rest of our time here in India: Fast and furious.
You walk into one of these shops and they are almost all identical — your eyes immediately go to the wall of shelves which display folded suits of every colour imaginable. Once you tell the shopkeepers what you're looking for, styles are pulled, unfolded and fanned out for you on the unadorned mattress upon which they are standing. As these stores had no change rooms, I was encouraged to try the suits on over my clothes. I was ushered from store to store, quickly trying on different styles and colors. Amazingly, we were able to settle on three suits between two shops that everyone agreed on.
This one is a black with peacock blue accents, with beautiful and fine silver detail throughout.
In all the chaos, we forgot to take a picture of me in this suit. Just as well, as this was not my favorite as it ended up not being flattering at all. It was a little more of a modern design with an empire waist and a bit of a train extending from the waist. This bad fit may be due to the fact that I was trying these on over my clothes, which didn't provide accurate proportions for the man doing the on-the-spot alterations at the market. Too bad, because the colors were quite beautiful. The suit was olive green with metallic gold adornments, and the scarf was a vibrant fuschia.
This is the sari that I wore to the first ceremony. It was designed in the traditional Gujart style using the tie-dye technique. The detail on this was quite brilliant and fine. Tying a sari is quite a complex process, with the incredible lengths of fabric that need to be folded and tucked and draped, especially for a Canadian girl like me. My sari was tied for me at a beauty parlor.
Again, no full shot of me in this outfit worn at the first reception. This was our favorite suit — it was nicely fitted and had the most clean lines of the three. The colors were asparagus and crimson, with gold thread and dye.
Our favorite sari, which was given to me by the BF's mother. It was fuschia and made of a delicate, floaty chiffon-like material, which allowed the sari the drape and hang really nicely. It was not overly ornate, which was perfect for me, with tiny bits of silvery-gold thread detailing throughout.

ESPN Is Making A Goddamn FORTUNE Off People Who Don't Even Want The Channel
Cord cutting seems to be the way of the future. Cable providers and networks are constantly hemorrhaging subscribers as millions of people cut the cord and opt for services like Netflix, Hulu Plus, Amazon Prime, and others.
Even though millions of people are opting to save money and cut the cord there are many millions more who just keep on paying the status quo. People who want MSNBC end up paying for ESPN and ESPN 2, or vice versa. People want HBO so they must also subscribe Showtime. The cable networks are literally driving customers away en masse because they force these bundling packages down everyone's throats, and they do this because it's still insanely profitable…for now.
Just how profitable is the pracitice of bundling? According to Streaming Observer, ESPN is making BILLIONS OF DOLLARS each year because of this practice:
A recent survey found that 53% of people don't care whether or not their TV package includes live sports channels, like ESPN and ESPN2 which are included in nearly every basic pay TV package.
According to the most recent estimates, 87,349,000 people have ESPN and ESPN2 in their pay TV packages, and those channels make up $8.11 of a pay TV bill (ESPN is $7.21 per subscriber per month, while ESPN2 is charged at a rate of $0.90).
Given that 53% of pay TV subscribers don't care if they have ESPN or other live sports channels, that means 46,294,970 of ESPN/ESPN2's subscribers don't really want the channels. At $8.11 per subscriber, that's $375,452,207 people are shelling out every single month despite not wanting those channels. That's $4.5 billion a year!
What kind of fucking world are we living in where a company like ESPN can make $4.5 billion each year off people who don't even care or want the service? That's 4.5 billion reasons that the current cable status quo is broken, and 4.5 billion reasons that cord cutting will eventually tear down the cable service provider establishment as we know it.
If you're skeptical of the data above you can check out the findings in full HERE. They cite multiple studies, all of which show subscribers are willing to ditch ESPN if it means they can save a few bucks on their monthly cable bill. After sifting through the data I'm convinced the future of ESPN is a lot darker than most people realize. (h/t Streaming Observer)

Water and biological molecules probed by Terahertz spectroscopy
Water is a major constituent of living cells but cellular constituents such as proteins are so tightly packed that the space available for water is limited. To investigate water at the interface and its interactions with biomolecules, Martina Havenith, with colleagues Martin Gruebele and David Leitner, applied to HFSP to fund a project to use the new method of Terahertz spectroscopy as a probe for water-biomolecule interaction. This Germany-USA collaboration was considered very high-risk but proved a success and has resulted in exciting findings about the nature of water surrounding proteins.
|Martina Havenith is Chair of Physical Chemistry at the Ruhr-University, Bochum, Germany. With a background in physics, she has made major contributions to the development of new laser techniques for approaching problems at the interface between physics and biophysical chemistry. She is a member of the German Academy of Sciences, Leopoldina, and has recently been appointed to the Austrian Science Council.
What are the properties of water in a living cell? With a cytoplasmic packing density of up to 400 mg/ml of protein, nucleic acids, lipids, carbohydrates and small molecules or ionic compounds, there is little distance from any one molecule to its nearest neighbors - only about 20-30 Å, depending on the molecular size. The roughly 10 layers of water molecules that can fit into these spaces have entirely different properties from water in "bulk" due to its interactions with cellular components. Water as we know it, that hydrogen-bonded bulk liquid melting at 0 °C and boiling at 100 °C, may not exist within cells. Recently, a new technique has provided a means to observe water dynamics. i.e. the fast collective motion of water molecules, around biological molecules. Terahertz light, at frequencies between microwaves and the infrared (1012 Hertz = 1 Terahertz), can excite collective motions of solvent molecules and of biomolecules whose time scales are on the order of a picosecond. This corresponds to the important time scales for hydrogen bond rearrangement in water and collective, functionally important motions of large biomolecules such as proteins and nucleic acids. In fact, the motions of the protein or nucleic acid and the hydrogen bond rearrangement of water are coupled. Modern terahertz instrumentation, building on decades of progress in far infrared spectroscopy of solid samples and films, is now powerful enough to penetrate water layers and look at fully solvated proteins, carbohydrates, lipids, and nucleic acids.
With THz technology and computer simulations now at a stage where spectra of solvated biomolecules could be obtained and interpreted, our groups sought support from the Human Frontier Science Program to initiate a series of studies on biomolecule-solvent interactions and dynamics. We hoped that THz technology would shed light on motions on that critical time scale of hydrogen bond breaking and formation coupled to functionally important dynamics of biomolecules that cannot be accessed by other methods, such as nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR). Since THz technology was new, there was considerable risk that the method would not be sensitive enough to provide the information we were seeking – others told us that it would be impossible or even hopeless. We were extremely thrilled that HFSP supported our high-risk endeavor in 2004. With HFSP funding we have been able to establish THz spectroscopy as a now blossoming and widely used tool in the study of biomolecule-solvent dynamics and interactions.
At first glance, there appeared to be little information contained in the THz spectrum of a biomolecule. The frequency dependence of the absorbance is largely featureless in the THz regime. However, with the help of the HFSP support we soon discovered that measurements of the THz absorbance as a function of biomolecule concentration in solution provides clues about the extent of the hydration layer, i.e., the number of water molecules around the biomolecule that are dynamically distinct from bulk water, as well as giving information on the dynamic coupling between the biomolecule and water. Two kinds of water, bulk water and hydration water, each with distinct absorption coefficients, were identified to account for the variation of the absorbance with biomolecule concentration. By studying the change in absorbance with concentration we could deduce the size of the hydration layer. In combination with molecular dynamics simulations modeling the same system, we explored at the molecular level the biomolecule-solvent dynamics underlying the THz spectra.
As our work developed, several novel key concepts in the Terahertz spectroscopy of biomolecules in water emerged, with major implications for our investigation of the interaction between water and biological macromolecules. (a) "Terahertz defect": Biomolecules absorb less THz light than water over part of the frequency range, and when biomolecules are dissolved in water, the absorption coefficient of the solution often decreases at certain frequencies (e.g. 2.5 THz for proteins in water). (b) Another key concept is the "Terahertz excess". Despite the fact that pure biomolecule solids or films generally absorb less than bulk water between 1 - 3 THz, there are still many situations where the biomolecule+water mixture absorbs more than either the biomolecule or a bulk water sample. This can be explained only by invoking a third substance: biological or hydration water. If the presence of biomolecules perturbs nearby water molecules, this could have an effect on many of the measurable properties of water: density, relaxation rates, reorientation rates.
Water has a built-in probe of its orientation: its dipole moment, with a negative charge at the oxygen end and positive charge at the hydrogen end of the molecule. The dynamical reorientation of the water dipole moment turns out to be affected over particularly long distances, up to several nanometers from the surface of a biomolecule. This reorientation arises as water molecules within the hydrogen bonding network tumble around and diffuse, constantly making and breaking hydrogen bonds. Couple that with the radius-squared increase of the number of water molecules as one moves outward to more remote solvation shells, huge numbers of water molecules can be affected, each a little bit, by a single biomolecule.
Dynamical hydration layer around a protein. The five helix bundle protein known as λ*6-85 is shown surrounded by 1000 water molecules in the dynamical hydration shell. All of them are shown to be affected by a single protein in their picosecond hydrogen bond dynamics
A simple picture of a biomolecule in water thus has to include the protein, nucleic acid or carbohydrate (causing a Terahertz defect), bulk water (if far enough away), and, in between, hydration water with new physical properties, including a propensity for enhanced Terahertz absorption – the Terahertz excess. The hydration water defined in this way is not the same as the sterically bound water molecules probed by X-ray crystallography, NMR or neutron crystallography. We have therefore detected a dynamical hydration shell, which includes all water molecules that show water network dynamics distinct from the bulk, and thus a distinct THz absorbance. The influence of the biomolecule can reach much further than the static hydration radius since it involves only a change in the motions and not a fixed H-bond to the protein.
Our work has shown that this simple picture works quantitatively in some cases with a homogeneous surface, for instance water molecules surrounding small sugar molecules, but breaks down in other cases, for instance hydration water around crowded proteins. In the latter case, the effect of proteins on the surrounding water shell reaches out so far that water molecules begin to "see"more than one protein. In addition, the influence of the protein will now be governed by several key parameters such as hydrophobicity and hydrophilicity of the side chains and steric hindrance. In addition, many-body interactions become important, so the influence of the hydration bond dynamics of water in the hydration shell becomes more complex. Molecular dynamics simulations of the solvation water around biomolecules shows a retardation of the H-bond dynamics for hydrophilic as well as hydrophobic protein surface areas. Whereas the first is explained by H-bond with the proteins, the retarded hydrogen bond dynamics around hydrophobic residues is at first glance surprising and can be explained by the additional imposed steric constraints on the water molecules at hydrophobic sites.
A detailed analysis using ab initio molecular dynamics simulations revealed a fundamental mechanistic difference between correlated molecular dipole oscillations at infrared and THz frequencies. While at infrared frequencies beyond 1000 cm-1 (30 THz) the molecular dipoles of neighbouring water molecules are correlated purely due to electronic polarization effects, at THz frequencies the nuclear motion of neighbouring water molecules are responsible for the observed correlated oscillation of molecular dipoles. While the vibrational motion of atoms is strictly localized on single molecules at infrared frequencies, at frequencies below 1000 cm-1, the onset of truly correlated, and thus collective nuclear motion of neighbouring water molecules is observed. In particular at THz frequencies, below 200 cm-1 (6 THz), the collective vibrational motion included water molecules significantly beyond next neighbours.
What is the role of the dynamical hydration shell? In order to address this, kinetic studies are necessary on the interactions between protein and water detected by THz absorption. As a first proof of principle experiment we have now visualized the changes in THz absorption during the protein folding process and recorded changes in the THz absorption with millisecond time resolution. This new method has been called kinetic terahertz absorption (KITA) spectroscopy.
Click on image for details of the KITA setup
KITA records the time-course of attenuation of the THz pulse by the sample - which is related to the THz absorption - after initiation of a biological process such as protein folding. To initiate protein folding we have mixed an unfolded ("denatured") protein with a denaturant-free buffer and monitored the changes in THz absorption, which visualizes protein-water interaction. In order to compare the time constant of the protein-water interactions with other relevant kinetic processes we have recorded in addition the fluorescence and circular dichroism (CD) spectra and small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS). For the fluorescence study a pseudo-wildtype mutant of the protein (ubiquitin) was utilized, carrying a point mutation (F45W) that introduces tryptophan as a natural fluorophor to measure the folding dynamics of the protein. The experiment indicates a sudden barrier-free reformation in the surrounding solvation shell, almost a hundred times faster than the protein folding as measured by fluorescence and the secondary and tertiary structure formation as probed by CD spectroscopy. This clearly shows that the solvent-protein rearrangement and the secondary and tertiary structure formation are two consecutive processes, which are both involved in the overall dynamics of protein folding.
Further comparison of the KITA signals to the protein folding kinetics measured by SAXS and CD sheds more light on the processes occurring at short and long timescales: The SAXS measurements indicate an initial collapse of the protein's radius of gyration on the millisecond timescale, while CD indicates excessive formation of helical secondary structure elements. The processes, taking place on a timescale of 10 milliseconds similar to the hydration dynamics, go hand in hand with the formation of dynamical hydration shells as observed in the THz response. The slow process occurring on timescales of hundreds of milliseconds to seconds, as observed in the fluorescence signal, is connected with the formation of the final tertiary structure, during which the inner core of the protein becomes even more densely packed, thus changing the local environment of the fluorescent tryptophan probe. Thus kinetic THz absorption spectroscopy has opened a new window on the mechanism of protein folding. The observation of collective water network motions during a biological function is providing complementary information compared to other techniques and will shed a new light on the interplay between water and proteins in living systems.
Thanks to HFSP support of our ideas, a risky decision since few to no preliminary data were available, we were able to adapt THz technology and computational simulations to the study of biomolecule-solvent dynamics. We now know that Terahertz absorption is sensitive to subtle changes in the dynamical orientation of water molecules and that it gives information at distances beyond current NMR techniques. In addition, mutagenesis can be used to ask questions about the influence of protein structure on water dynamics. The use of Terahertz light has thus led to a breakthrough in our understanding of picosecond protein-water dynamics at a timescale that is found to be critical in initiating protein folding.

Awake in Sleep, Asleep in Wakefulness
O' Allah the Wondrous One,
Let not my attachment to You
Be a hindrance to You,
O' Allah Most Melodious One,
Let not my praises for You
Be a barrier to You,
O' Allah Sender of Dreams,
Let not the waking hours of my apostasy
Drug me to sleep far from You,
O' Allah Owner of Sweetness,
Let not my blessings make
Me one moment forgetful of You,
O' Allah Most Gentle,
Let not my words imprison me,
Let not my life defeat me,
Lead not my hopes astray,
O' Allah,
My words stop here,
But You are Eternal!
Unfathomable, Unique
The all-Arresting One,
So arrest me, charge me of my crimes,
Imprison me in Your love,
Tether me like a donkey
To Your unspoken Reality!
I am such a sinner. And I have a sin to confess to you. Since writing this blog, I used to schedule my uploads. Sometimes writing them many hours ahead before actually posting them here in the Almanac. But who is to say if God would give me time to live that long? How shameful I have been, taking time for granted... taking God for granted.
So here are the words, pressed into service as fast as my fingers can type them. No delay. As we should not delay in service to Him.
For why delay a lovely thing? Why delay beauty? Why delay our prayers?
Ya Mawla... ya Mawlana...
I had dream. I woke up. I prayed. It lead me here. To you, sunshine.
wa min Allah at-taufiq
Hate has no place in Islam
Love will show the Way

Oxford University to launch first online 'Mooc' course
Sean Coughlan, BBC News, 2016/11/15
This of course is happening more than eight years after the launch of the first MOOC. One wonders why it's the cause for a news story.
On metadata
Daniel Lemire, 2016/11/15
Daniel Lemire is exactly right in this article, and we forget it at our peril: "Most metadata is unreliable. Maintaining high-quality data is simply hard work. And even when people have good intentions, it takes more mental acuity than you might think." And the system is not set up for it. "One of the problems with metadata in the real world is that you are in an adversarial setting.... you still have to worry that they are going to lie to you."
Aaron Perzanowski: The End of Ownership
David Weinberger, Joho the Blog, 2016/11/15
Summary of a talk on the new state of 'ownership' in the digital age. "What rights do people think they have when they 'buy now.' Aaron and Jason did an experiment that showed that if people bought through a 'buy now' button, they thought they have the right to keep, device, lend, and give their copy. People make this mistake because they port over their real-world understanding of buying." In 20 years, will we be free to use our education as we wish, or will our knowledge of, say, calculus only be licensed for particular uses?
YouTube has (apparently) reinstated RSS feeds
Brian Schrader, BiteofanApple, 2016/11/15
Brian Schrader writes, and I echo every word: "Well if there's something I wasn't expecting to find tonight, it was that apparently YouTube has decided to allow users to follow channels via RSS again, and unlike the last few years, this time it actually looks to be officially supported! I have no idea when this feature was added, but it's the first time I've seen it. Most articles about YouTube's RSS feeds are either hacks or from ancient history. I don't know what mad(wo)man is behind this, but I love them."
Auckland Startup Launches Revolutionary eLearning Platform
Modlettes, 2016/11/15
I think the Modlettes product looks really interesting but it's quite expensive to get started (for me, at least) and the two-week trial doesn't really give me the capacity to try it out with a larger audience. The idea is that "any member of a user organisation can be given permission to create and upload Modlettes to their organisation's channel, all with just a few touches on their smartphone." The authoring tool permits you to upload content, but ideally it would allow you to make the content on the fly - don't just 'upload' video, record video. For what they deliver, it's way overpriced, but the concept is good.
Via Quartz I came across this excellent website devoted to what is best described as folk art. But what art! Articles include a Japanese exhibit of rocks that look like faces, layered yarn portraits of South Africans, a fiery-throated hummingbird, urban geodes on the streets of L.A., Japanese candy sculptures, toilet paper rolls squished into funny faces, a 2017 letterpress lunar calendar, a metropolis of more than 600 paper sculptures, and much more. Things like this inspire people, and they should be seen.
You'll Know the Drones Are Coming When…
Tony Hirst, OUseful Info, 2016/11/15
So, if a delivery bot using the sidewalk crosses the street at a crosswalk, does the driver have to give way and stop? This is the very relevant question asked by Tony Hirst as new technologies are forcing us to thing of devices as ethical objects. Do their rights sometimes trump ours - for example, if I am demonstrating in front of a political office and impede a sidewalk-using drone, have I committed an infraction? I've seen a few things recently depicting the AI phenomenon not as an intelligence question but as a test of ethics - for example, this article from O'Reilly, and episode 334 of Spark on CBC. Does an AI have an obligation to the truth, or to respect individual privacy, or is it waived from the limits that would constrain humans?

Over the course of running your business from day to day, I'd imagine that examining the merits of your company's business-entity structure rarely makes it to the top of your to-do list. And yet, the truth is your business' legal structure can weigh pretty heavily on your financial future. It can affect everything from liability issues to tax bills and even financing opportunities.
If you suspect your current structure isn't meeting your needs, you owe it to yourself to look into the options. And if you're reading this, you've probably already chosen a business structure at least once in your life. Even so, it's worth reviewing the five primary structures before we dig into why you might want to change things up.

August 2014 Update
Hey folks, brief update here! Things are progressing awesomely with the game. There's still some fix up work to be done with regards to the sprite art and some of the paths, but as I'm playing through it, I've got this terrifyingly goofy smile on my face.
First and most importantly, I'm smiling because I'm playing this thing that's consumed my life for approximately 2 years, and despite being tired of poor ol' Mark coming out to his roommates for the 4589th time, the game, as a whole, feels fun.
That's right. The F word rears its head! I'll reiterate: I take your fun seriously and I hope this will be something that'll entertain you from start to finish.
Secondly, I'm also grinning because Coming Out On Top isn't close to what I envisioned when I started this project. It's actually so. much. better. because of your both your feedback and support. So THANK YOU dearly for all you've done to push COOT from good to hopefully great.
So what's happening now? At the end of August, forum members will receive the next build. Once I get their feedback, I'll release a another build to ALL backers after making more changes and fixing any bugs.
This will be the last build before the game comes out. I'm pretty excited. The drawings from Doubleleaf are SO FREAKING GOOD and truly worth viewing as standalone illustrations. And I've been doing my best to make the game a memorable experience. :)
See you in a month, folks!
And may you have the best August ever.
Wayne G.Superbackeron
We're proud of you Obscura. I want to let you know that with this project you have shined brightly. Your passion is greatly welcomed. Though we might face criticism from many who do not understand why people would want to play a game revolving around gay men to me this a moment a great moment where we have finally come together to fund and create a game for our people and allies there of where hetero isn't the only norm. I hope you get more buyers for your game when it's released, not because it's an erotic powerhouse, but because it shows to the world that we are accepted we are not just some insignificant 2% of the world's population. That we're not just 0.02% of gamers, but we are a culture and we are a family!
God bless you Obscura.

How do you remove water based paint from a bathtub? My landlord hand painted my tub by hand….?
My landlord hand painted the bottom half of my bathtub with interior water based paint because the enamel is worn. The paint is chipping and it is disgusting. I would like to remove the paint without further damaging the already scratched worn enamel so I can eventually have a bath instead of always having a shower. Please help….
Try Goof Off. Then go to a good hardware store and check on coatings that you can use to cover the bottom of the tub properly. Barring that, you can buy a tub insert that acts like a whole new tub but it's just a big piece of molded material that you can install right over your old tub to make it look like new. I don't like to frequent Home Depot because they promote the hiring of illegal immigrants but….Home Depot has classes every week and they have people who will tell you how to do this easily and correctly.
