Maintaining the New Safety Edge
The Federal Highway Administration is currently encouraging initiatives for new paving to include a Safety Edge to reduce crashes when vehicles leave the pavement and try to return. The FHWA has currently joined agencies with 20 different states to promote this program and interest is growing.
In order to ensure the long-term effectiveness of this new technology, as with a majority of asphalt surfaces, these new edges of asphalt pavement will need to be maintained to reduce raveling and breaking apart of the edges due to sun and rain and freeze-thaw conditions. If left unprotected, these edges will begin to deteriorate due to Mother Nature. Once deterioration occurs, their effectiveness in safety from vehicle departure off the road loses effectiveness or purpose. What is the solution? The answer is sealcoating those shoulders that utilize the Safety Edge.
A recommended product for maintaining the integrity of asphalt shoulders is an asphalt emulsion fortified with polymers for flexibility and fiber-reinforced for longevity. That product of choice is Liquid Road. As many of you know and understand, sealcoating more than doubles the life of asphalt. Counties and street departments can save tax payer dollars by lengthening the life of the new highway edge program by extending the life of the asphalt edge. Sealcoating will reduce the number of times needed to repair or repave these edges.
Liquid Road is the material up to handle this task. The polymer modification from the manufacturing process of Liquid Road makes the difference. Elastomeric polymers are hot blended into Liquid Road to ensure maximum flexibility, weather resistance and adhesion to the pavement surface. The special fibers built into Liquid Road provide strength. Fiber reinforcement provides a more durable surface coating. A sealcoating program applied to the asphalt edge every few years will protect the asphalt and limit the raveling that will occur without sealing the shoulders of roads and highways.
As the FHWA program takes hold and expands across the country, it is good to know that Liquid Road is available Nationwide throughout the SealMaster network.

Nothing well. When a rubber (EPDM) roof is inletslad over an asphalt-based roof in the real world’ typically recovery board’ is mechanically fastened and then the EPDM is adhered to that. The solvents in the glue will react with the asphalt over (a very brief) time and fail quickly. There are, actually several adhesives that work marginally well for the purpose and only for (again) brief periods that will be supplied to you by the roofing supply. But the other problem is that you may simply be covering over a leak that originates from beyond the patch.Better you should concentrate on the actual source of the leak and use a compatible patch for that purpose. There are many sorts of patches for each type of roof, location and type of leak. Explain to your roofing supply what you are trying to accomplish and let them show you what is available. Or, call a roofer that seems like it won’t be much more than an hour’s work, likely at a cost considerably less than the rubber, the glue, the other materials, the mess, smell and effort and so forth. Pros also know what they are doing and understand the systems in place and what goes with them. Roofing is 60% science, 35% intuition and 5% magic. The difference between a very good roofer and everyone else is that last 5%.
This is highly intelligent and well-written material. I appreciate the layout and the way you have presented your points of interest. I agree with you on several points and many made me reflect on them.
This is definitely “my” color and I am so glad it’s trendy. My first exposure was back in 1985 when I visited a home in Texas where the entire living room was in turquoise…carpet, drapes, etc. It was memorable! I like it for accents and would like to outfit a bathroom in those colors…just need to find the right wallpaper…
Sehr schön, wie du das angerichtet hast! Bist du so ein Typ der das unbedingt immer schön anrichten muss, auch wenn es "nur" Gulasch oder Tomatensuppe ist? Fänd ich auch nicht schlecht ;)Hihi, auf dem Salz steht mein Name *grins* :PHabe schon fleißig für dich gevoted und ich glaube es sieht gar nicht mal so schlecht aus, das wär ja so super toll und so ein Zufall wiedermal, dass du genau diesen Kühlschrank haben möchtest!

Hi,Thanks a lot for this review. Do you know if the receiver is Sirfstar IV ? Will it be also compatible with Glonass ?It should be great if this watch had a solar charging capability like Casio watches in order not being out of battery.
You guys rock. And not because you are “saving” a child. Got it! 🙂 I love you three and can’t wait to be cool, crazy uncle Mike to 4, 5, and 6… (now I am sounding more like the cat in the hat).Mike

185Whoa, didn’t even recognize you at first with the haircut Excited to see you embark on a new project. I admire initiative like that! It will be interesting to see how Google+ fairs when it opens up.
This looks really good… have been mostly throwing stuff out to be organized. It think it is the first ‘phase’. You know… find the floor and then the door.*smile*I like the links…some good ideas.
The Zune focuses on being the Portable Press Player. Not a browser. Not a game machine. Maybe later on it¡¯ll do best of all in individuals areas, but in the meantime it¡¯s a wonderful way to organize and listen to your tunes and videos, and is without peer in this regard. The iPod¡¯s skills are it¡¯s web browsing and programs. If people sound additional compelling, perhaps it is your most suitable choice.
A thorough inspection will reduce the requirement for air conditioner service if the faulty or worn parts are replaced when found. If you are in need of air conditioner service make sure the company you choose is approved and insured to do the required work.
Anyone have recommendations for blogs, websites, or advocacy groups covering agricultural legislation or attempting to reform it?I’d like to get involved with trying to get the farming laws changed, whether by just writing my representatives or getting involved with a group. But it seems like these issues rarely even make the news.I’d love a recommendation for a good resource that keeps up to date on what the government is considering and what can be done to influence the decisions.Thanks in advance.
Thank you, I’ve just been searching for info about this topic for ages and yours is the greatest I have discovered so far. But, what about the bottom line? Are you sure about the source?
