When I came across the lines from Seamus Hearney writing of Dane-myths which "sweep in off the moors" and come to us, "down through the mist-bands of Anglo-Saxon England" (Saxon Hall) I was reminded of the mytho-poetic tradition that has Landscape as its object. Landscape has meaning quite apart from its morphological, botanical and geological significance, and it is here, at the edge of history and anthropology and in the murk of romance, superstition and legend that I imagine the wallows and the rises of the land through a mythic home-spun.
Walking down Koenigstein Road on the weekend, Sunday afternoon: low clouds describing a curtailed valley spread below, weed patch at roadside trending to chaparral beyond: there is a pathos in the rough marks of man that one hundred and fifty years of Euro-American occupation have made on the land. Specifically, the crude pragmatism of the development of 20 acre parcels along a road (that originally served a hunting lodge at the opening to Bear Canyon) where plastic piping rises vertically in places from the bush marking lot lines or lies broken on the ground turning brittle in the sun and tumbled sandstone rip-rap emerges bright yellow in the even light from the darkening brush. The detritus of a developer's dreams being slowly obliterated by the primal energy of the earth; the hunting lodge lost in a long ago fire.
Worked at long and wisely enough a kind of symbiosis can develop between the landscape and human settlement. It's called civilization. It is not the place I have chosen to live.
Classical civilization has, as Simon Schama notes in Landscape and Memory, 1995, always "defined itself against the primeval woods". Likewise, the east coast of the United States - with its Jeffersonian, neo-classical overtones, establishes its identity in part in opposition to the left coast, the barbaric frontier of California. Latter-day warriors arrived in the Upper Ojai valley weilding not clubs and spears but back hoes, chain saws and oil drilling rigs. Oaklands were turned into rough fields of alien grasses and chaparral into weed patches. Looking down the valley there are horse properties, mac-mansions rubbing shoulders with manufactured homes and the occasional well-sited house at ease in the landscape. Mostly it's the marks of raw accommodation between immediate, un-restrained human appetites and the natural world - this afternoon edged by low clouds that threaten soon to smother them.
Perhaps because I grew up in the velvety Surrey countryside where moss and lichen quickly soften the edges of road and building and even the railway cuttings seemed ancient like Offa's dyke (the great earthwork built by the Saxon King of Mercia to discourage attack from the Welsh people of Powys) I have ended up in places where nature is yet to be submerged, or co-opted by the blandishments of multi-layered civilizations. I have chosen the raw and the newly desecrated. I have repaired, as Tacitus writes of Germania, to "region(s) hideous and rude". Here I find the rough energy of ancient landscapes brushing against arriviste civilization. The chaparral and the Australian bush - both so recently home to aboriginal peoples bound to the land and where lingers still a spiritual imprint - are landscapes that tell stories barely dimmed by the ravages of the barbarian horde (and count me amongst their number).
In Kangaroo, his one Australian novel, D.H. Lawrence writes,
"The soft, blue, humanless sky of Australia, the pale, white unwritten atmosphere of Australia. Tabula rasa. The world a new leaf. And on the new leaf, nothing. The white clarity of the Australian, fragile atmosphere. Without a mark, without a record."
And here, it's still morning in California, the dew has not yet quite left the land and faint vibrations remain of a spiritual vision that saw all the living things of the world fully enfolded within the cosmos. There is a scale to the natural world at the edges of the Upper Ojai valley where chaparral or oak woodland begin to dominate the urban/wildland dyad. Mystery and myth begin at these edges. There is separation between the sublime and the prosaic. In older cultures, in Europe, this separation is less obvious - there is a co-mingling of the two, a symbiosis that perhaps vitiates the power of both.
Magical things still happen in these places of comfortable accommodation between the built and the wild environments. As a child I believed in fairies at the bottom of the garden, and circles of mushrooms, or pixie rings that I would come across in the suburban woods confirmed my faith. Later, riding pillion on my father's motorcycle through the South Downs, he would point out (shouting through the noise of the tiny 125cc engine and the flapping of scarves and macintoshes) the bronze-age burial mounds (tumuli) that dot the soft de-forested hills.These signs of death amidst ancient life fascinated me and gave the landscape a gothic tension, a frisson of the macabre. The hills had long been brought into the agricultural realm, cleared of their woodlands some 6,000 years previously as the stone-age people abandoned their hunting and gathering existence and developed grazing for domestic stock and fields for crops. The truly wild, in England at least, is best imagined, for there are precious few acres of untrammeled land.
Venturing into un-touched chaparral up on the mesa between Koenigstein and Sisar, land marred only by a crudely drawn bulldozed trail, there is a sense of entering a primeval realm. One early morning last week, fully dark with my head light illuminating the path, I saw a bright light close to the ground just up ahead. My first thought was that it was a firefly. As I approached the light rose into the air and fluttered away. I saw a second light and was still going with the firefly theory. When I saw the third, I was close enough to see that it was a bird which rose from the ground - with a firefly in its beak perhaps? As the lights continued to appear before me, my senses fully alert, I realized that it was the bird's eyes that burned with this fierce light (reflecting my head lamp) and that I was disturbing a flock of ground-roosting Nightjars.
Sometimes known as Goatsuckers (in the mistaken belief that they feed at the teats of goats) these crepuscular birds have large round eyes - like their nocturnal brethren the owl. What I saw, according to my bird guide, were Lesser Nighthawks ( Chordeiles acutipennis) - what I experienced was fluttering fairy-lights in a mythic landscape.

When he first heard the music from the musical Wicked, he vowed to be a part of the show when it came to Australia in 2008. He was then thrilled to be cast in the role of Fiyero in this highly successful Broadway blockbuster and played over 500 shows in Melbourne and Sydney (2008-2010), receiving rave reviews and establishing Rob as one of Australia's favorite leading men. His credits include Legally Blonde (2013), The Last Five Years (2011) (nominated for Best Musical Production at the 2012 Sydney Theatre Awards), Into the Woods (2010) and Hair (2007).
Developing his love of the stage and performing whilst studying Music & Drama at Brentwood Secondary and then Box Hill Senior Secondary College, Rob first came to the nation's attention in 2003 as a finalist on the first series of Australian Idol.
Following this success and a national Idol Tour, he was soon signed to BMG. His first single Ms Vanity debuted at #6 on the Australian charts, reaching Gold status. His debut album Up All Night was released in June 2004, featuring seven co-written tracks.

The Divide in BJP
There was a time when BJP's politics was very ideologically driven and for long it had been integral humanism. Barring a few, none of the party members really seem to understand Hindutva or integral humanism. Apart from this BJP also needs to realize that ideology can neither be static or rigid, it needs to evolve and grow over time. The divide is brought to light by the events that followed the disastrous defeat in these elections.
The split in the Bharatiya Janata Party is coming out into the open even as it tries to clear out the discord. While pressing for the reconstitution of the party, senior leader, Yashwant Sinha resigned from his vice presidential post in the party. At the same time Rajnath Singh, BJP chief, has asked party leaders to cease from criticism in public and a breach would call for a disciplinary action.
BJP is still coming to terms with their electoral defeat amidst internecine arguments. It is the belief among some of the party's senior members that the central leadership has failed to pin responsibility for the shocking defeat. The reason for this outbreak is believed to be ideological. Party leaders were upset because in charge of the poll campaign, Arun Jaitley and Sushma Swaraj have been elevated. It gives an impression that post Advani, backroom deals will pay more than an in- house consensus.
BJP needs to realize that it isn't an issue of disciplining or pacifying critics like Yashwant Sinha and Jaswant Singh. Some party members feel side lined due to such decision making. Having met with accusations, Arun Jaitley has now resigned as party general secretary and it is yet to be seen whether this helps to placate the situation. However, the self- proclaimed "party with a difference" has in the past also let personal ambition overpower party ambitions. BJP hasn't managed to function as a team post-Vajpayee. A previous indication of something amiss was when in 2004 Uma Bharati spoke against top party leaders.
Amidst the worst political setback, questions are being raised on Advani's ability to keep order in his house. Also a member of RSS-led by the Sangh Parivar, the party is afflicted with bigger ideological problems. Famed for his organizational skills, Advani couldn't pull the party together. This has also to do with the fact that the party was unable to draw for itself a line of thought separate from that defined by the RSS.
The party needs to come to terms with the growing divide between its ideological obligations and political goals, especially after successive defeats at the national level. Despite the fact that it was discomfited by Rahul Gandhi's speeches it failed to disassociate itself from it. There are also questions being raised regarding the party's Hindutva ideology considering the spirit of the younger generations and their aspirations. Hard line ideology is still what a lot of party members propagate. One thing is for sure; BJP needs to pull its act together and resolve its inner conflicts as soon as possible. It needs to sort out its ideology and decide whether it wants to follow an ideology that thrives on social discord or to be more moderate and appreciative of pluralism.

Ultraviolet (UV) radiation is emitted by the sun, and levels of UV radiation have increased slightly over historic levels as a result of thinning of the Earth's protective ozone layer. Although the chemicals responsible for ozone depletion are being phased out, thinning of the ozone layer is expected to continue for at least another decade.
Increasing UV radiation is of concern as a potential cause of amphibian declines because many observed declines are occurring at high elevations where UV exposure may be elevated compared to lower elevations. Indeed, field and laboratory experiments in which different amphibian life stages (e.g., eggs, tadpoles) are exposed to different intensities of UV radiation suggest that survival of eggs and tadpoles of several amphibian species can be reduced by exposure to UV radiation.
Aquatic habitats in the Sierra Nevada receive high doses of UV radiation due to their high elevation and extraordinary water clarity. However, recent research indicates that the distribution of mountain yellow-legged frogs in the Sierra Nevada is not correlated with UV exposure (Adams et al. 2001). In addition, experiments with Sierran frogs and toads, including mountain yellow-legged frogs, indicate that current levels of UV radiation do not cause reduced survival (Vredenburg 2002). Therefore, it is unlikely that UV radiation is responsible for the dramatic decline of the mountain yellow-legged frog.

Easter Eggs are references or nods to other horror games, YouTubers, and TV shows found throughout the game.
A mask bearing resemblance to his character can be found in one of the rooms in the area Specimen 6 is first encountered in.
A framed photo of him can be found in the randomly generated LP Room, along with several others.
A framed photo of him can be found in the randomly generated LP Room.
Band-aid Boy
A framed photo of him can be found in the randomly generated LP Room.
A framed photo of her YouTube avatar can be found in the randomly generated LP Room.
- Specimen 1 has many references, such as Jeff The Killer.
- Specimen 2 is a nod to the Lub-Glub monsters from the cartoon Adventure Time.
- Specimen 3 is a nod to the Resident Evil series.
- Specimen 4 is a nod to most RPG maker/Asian horror games, more specifically Corpse Party, or Misao, due to her disposition and appearance matching Japanese folklore.
- Specimen 5 and the sounds, textures, and ambience associated with it are a nod to the Silent Hill series.
- The room Specimen 6 is first encountered in seems to be modeled after the Kakariko Well from Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. Specimen 6 itself is a reference to the Happy Mask Salesman from Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask as well as the famous Ben Drowned creepypasta.
- Specimen 7's design may be a nod to Giygas from Earthbound.
- Specimen 8's design was inspired by The Beast from the cartoon miniseries Over the Garden Wall and possibly Remor from the video-game Fran Bow.
- Specimen 9 & Specimen 9 (Boss Form) designs are based on RED from the NES Godzilla Creepypasta.
- Specimen 10 (Old)'s design may be based on Onix from the Pokémon franchise.
- Specimen 10's design may be based on the headcrab zombies from the Half Life franchise
- Specimen 12 is a nod to the classic horror game Clock Tower.
- The Possessed One's appearance was inspired by the serial killer in the Adult Swim short Too Many Cooks.
- Specimen 12's Steam card has art which is extremely similar to one of the rooms in Clock Tower.
- Specimen 13's behavior was inspired by the Kaernk from Amnesia: The Dark Descent
- Monster 3's design may be based on Conrad from the manga series Berserk.
- Monster 5 is a nod to the bovine spongiform encephalopathy (commonly known as mad cow disease). While it also may be based on the Man-Chicken art-work.
- Monster 6's appearance, chase theme, death screen and name all refer to Rebecca Black and her infamous song "Friday".
- Unknown Specimen 1 is Whiteface from the horror game Imscared.
- Unknown Specimen 2 is a nod to the fangames of the popular horror game Five Nights at Freddy's.
- Unknown Specimen 3 "Spooper" relates to the internet meme word "spoopy"
- Unknown Specimen 4 is a nod to various Eskimo legends and folktales (such as the Fox Woman).
- Unknown Specimen 5 is a nod to P.T., the playable trailer for the cancelled game Silent Hills.
The secret CAT-DOS entry "Mattress Man" is a reference to a Garry's Mod horror map called "Shadows Chapter 3" made by Akuma Kira, in which the entity appears. It is mentioned that the "Mattress Man" is actually just a Fast Invisible Zombie with a box texture as body.
The secret CAT-DOS entry "Lines" is a reference to Space Blaster, a previous horror game made by the developers, which SJSM took some inspiration from.
CAT_DOS is the OS used on the computer terminals. The DOS part stands for Disk Operating System while CAT refers to the animal which is seen as cute and adorable.
Events and Rooms
One of the randomly-occurring notes mentions that its writer thinks that picking up too many notes will summon a "tall man character". This is either a reference to the Slender Man, or a reference to Trilby's Notes, the third in a series of freeware horror games, and the first one containing a hostile character known as the Tall Man.
The Final Boss's fireball attack may be a reference to the Dead Man's Volley, an attack used by the main villain of the Legend of Zelda series, Ganondorf.
A Resident Evil style door animation plays when exiting an "elevator" room.
This also applies to the door from the Room 1000.
Rarely, a room with a chair, table, fan, and a phone can be found. After a few moments in the room, an unnamed person will talk, saying "Hello" in different tones, and on occasion, telling the player not to look directly at the fan. This is a reference to the Five Nights at Freddy's series.
There is a creepy drawing of a character named "Kyubey" from "Puella Magi Madoka Magica" located in one of the classrooms from Room 165.
In Room 614, inside the ventilation, a weird looking monster can be found behind the bars. Sprinting towards the second set of bars inside the vents causes it to run away.
Rarely, a room with fleshy walls with a pulsating heart on the floor can be encountered. This is another nod to Imscared.
Alternate Select Screens
When launching the game, there is a small chance that the title will display as "Spooky's Sandcastle of LAND SHARKS", "Spooker's Homecooked BBQ" or a set of distorted teeth.
The "Spooker's Homecooked BBQ" select screen also appears after Specimen 11 kills you.
Brainframe Room
When encountering the brainframe room after 900 rooms, getting close to the brain will reveal a secret passcode for the final arcade machine in the minigame room.
In Spooky's Jump Scare Mansion HD Renovation, if the player hits the brain jar with the axe, it will crack, and hitting it again will cause it to leak. After a while, the brain will come out of the jar and rush at the player, killing them in one hit. The brain will slow the player down, making it impossible to outrun it.
The brain's method of killing the player is unknown. However, on Steam, updates to the game often jokingly allude to the brain room with "Brain had a think about it and now zaps you proper like." This could imply that the brain electrocutes its victims or shuts down their central nervous system.
- The Brain is one of the few enemies which can kill the player in one hit, after Specimen 9, Specimen 7, Specimen 12 while in the mansion, Monster 6 and Unknown Specimen 1 (in the secret second chase).
- The Brain acts very similar to Monster 6 in the DLC, as both enemies are Easter Eggs and both will attack if the player does a certain action and will kill the player in one hit.
- This is a possible reference to the Brain of Cthulhu from Terraria.

Book Review: Children of Blood and Bone
By: Tomi Adeyemi
Narrated By: Bahni Turpin
Published By: Macmillan Audio
Publication Date: March 6, 2018
Audio Length: 18 hours, 9 minutes
Buy it at Amazon, Barnes & Noble, or IndieBound

Young Adult - Fantasy
Story & Writing:
I have been highly anticipating this novel since I heard about it last April. I ran off to preorder my copy after reading the synopsis. I've been craving something to fill the gap left my the end of the Harry Potter series. No matter how many awesome fantasy/paranormal novels I have read since Harry's journey ended, I just can't seem to find one that occupies my mind and heart in the same way. I was hoping that the magic in this one could satiate my thirst for a new magical adventure. The diversity of the characters and setting also made this one appealing. There is no way you can mistake the magic wielded in this book in a gorgeous and deadly African inspired country with the rolling UK countryside and hallowed halls of Hogwarts. However, this one certainly quenched my desire for a compelling magical tale with an unforgettable cast of characters.
The novel unfolds from three perspectives. First, readers become acquainted with Zélie, a headstrong young girl with the memory of magic running through her veins. Zélie is a complicated main character who struggles between who she is forced to be and who she was meant to be before her mother was murdered in an uprising that eradicated magic from her world. Zélie's mother wielded powerful reaper magic before she was killed and Zélie wishes that things were different so that she could use the same spells to protect her father and older brother.
The second perspective belongs to the Princess Amari. Her father is the one that ripped magic from the hands of the people and killed all the magi. He left their offspring behind, but they are harmless without magic to use as a weapon. The magis' children have faced persecution in the post-magic world as they are seen as second class citizens. Amari, however, has never viewed her servant and best friend as someone beneath her. The girls have daydreamed about life beyond the palace walls and running away from the harsh conditions of royal life, but everything changes when Amari learns exactly what her father is capable of and has to make a difficult decision that will send her along the path to rebellion.
Lastly, Prince Inan, Amari's older brother, has a chance to drive the narrative. He is a symbol of both the magical and the non-magical worlds. The conflict that rages within him between what is right and what is expected makes for some brilliant internal conflict.
The story is full of gorgeous and lush settings, memorable characters, and a compelling magic system. I was fascinated with the lore attached to the magic and how its history played out among the people. Sadly, society always seems to classify people and the green eyed monster of jealously appears more often than not in fiction and reality. While the story is fantasy, I think there are many components that mirror modern society reflected in these pages.
Children of Blood and Bone is a new favorite that I am already planning to reread. I was so excited listening to this one that I kept at it without savoring because I had to know how things would work out for Zelie, Amari, and Inan. This is a triumphant debut and one I'd highly recommend.
Bahni Turpin is a fabulous narrator. She brings Zélie, Amari, and Inan to life with the cadence of her voice. Even though she narrates the entire novel on her own, I began to be able to distinguish the narrators apart from one another based on the inflection in Turbin's voice. She kept the pacing on point with the action in the story and I was lost into Zélie's world from the first chapter on. Turbin put the right amount of emotion into her voice as she reads. I truly felt the sorrow, panic, and joy along with the characters.
One Last Gripe: Whew, that ending. I'm still having heart palpitations. Where is the next book?
My Favorite Thing About This Book: The magic and mythology
First Sentence: Since the publisher sent me the audiobook and my print copy doesn't arrive until tomorrow, I don't have the first sentence for you.
Favorite Character: Zélie
Least Favorite Character: The King
Zélie Adebola remembers when the soil of Orïsha hummed with magic. Burners ignited flames, Tiders beckoned waves, and Zelie's Reaper mother summoned forth souls.
But everything changed the night magic disappeared. Under the orders of a ruthless king, maji were targeted and killed, leaving Zélie without a mother and her people without hope.
Now, Zélie has one chance to bring back magic and strike against the monarchy. With the help of a rogue princess, Zélie must outwit and outrun the crown prince, who is hell-bent on eradicating magic for good.
Danger lurks in Orïsha, where snow leoponaires prowl and vengeful spirits wait in the waters. Yet the greatest danger may be Zélie herself as she struggles to control her powers—and her growing feelings for the enemy.

The suspect being held in a Virginia jail in connection with a deadly crash near a scheduled rally of white nationalists holds extreme values, one of his former teachers told CNN on Sunday.
To Refute the Hate-mongering of White Supremacists I visited Martin Luther King's Memorial https://t.co/tZRAxSj3K3 via @wordpressdotcom

James Alex Fields Jr., 20, of Maumee, Ohio, is accused of running his Dodge Challenger into a crowd of people, killing a 32-year-old woman and injuring at least 19 others.
His mother, Samantha Bloom, told the Toledo Blade that she didn't know her son was going to Virginia for a white nationalist rally. She thought it had something to do with President Donald Trump.
A day later on Sunday, August 13th, I was in Washington DC and I thought my best response would be to visit Martin Luther King Jr's Memorial and learn something about non-violence and justice from 'the stone of hope,' who came out of 'a mountain of despair.'
The following quotations are engraved on the Martin Luther King, Jr. Memorial:
"Out of the mountain of despair, a stone of hope."
"I was a drum major for justice, peace and righteousness."
South Wall
"We shall overcome because the arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends toward justice."
"Darkness cannot drive out darkness, only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate, only love can do that."
"I believe that unarmed truth and unconditional love will have the final word in reality. This is why right, temporarily defeated, is stronger than evil triumphant."
"Make a career of humanity. Commit yourself to the noble struggle for equal rights. You will make a better person of yourself, a greater nation of your country, and a finer world to live in."
"I oppose the war in Vietnam because I love America. I speak out against it not in anger but with anxiety and sorrow in my heart, and above all with a passionate desire to see our beloved country stand as a moral example of the world."
"If we are to have peace on earth, our loyalties must become ecumenical rather than sectional. Our loyalties must transcend our race, our tribe, our class, and our nation; and this means we must develop a world perspective."
North Wall
"Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere. We are caught in an inescapable network of mutuality, tied in a single garment of destiny. Whatever affects one directly, affects all indirectly."
"I have the audacity to believe that peoples everywhere can have three meals a day for their bodies, education and culture for their minds, and dignity, equality, and freedom for their spirits."
"It is not enough to say 'We must not wage war.' It is necessary to love peace and sacrifice for it. We must concentrate not merely on the negative expulsion of war, but the positive affirmation of peace."
"The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of convenience and comfort, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy."
"Every nation must now develop an overriding loyalty to mankind as a whole in order to preserve the best in their individual societies."
"We are determined here in Montgomery to work and fight until justice runs 'down like water, and righteousness like a mighty stream.'"
"We must come to see that the end we seek is a society at peace with itself, a society that can live with its conscience."
"True peace is not merely the absence of tension; it is the presence of justice."

Christy Lemp Week #26
More Brusho playing-sprinkled yellow and green on dry paper then squirted with water-so fun! I preserved some white in the lemon shapes with wax crayon.
Painted the lemon shapes, then outlined with turquoise, purple and green. This was all pretty wet as I was in a hurry, except for a bit of outlining areas that dried quickly enough to work with.

AAT (Association of Accounting Technicians)
Stephen has produced several videos for AAT across a range of themes, and on each occasion I've been impressed by his ability to take ideas/concepts and create engaging visuals and narratives that fit. For AAT he's created animated infographics, humorous lists and custom animation, all of which have been very popular with the online community and external stakeholders alike, and which have allowed AAT to add a new dimension to its brand identity.
While Stephen has lots of creative flair, he's also very accommodating and totally receptive to feedback, which makes working with him a pleasure. I'd happily recommend him.
Geoff Courts
Marketing Manager
Macnamara ICT Ltd
We hired Stephen to make our first company video (https://vimeo.com/80368472) and the results were fantastic. We didn't really know how to conceptualise what we were doing, but Stephen generated some awesome out of the box ideas, and managed to convey visually what we do far better than we have so far managed to describe in words.
He was totally receptive to our change requests throughout the process, kept us up to date with each revision, set out the time table and managed and then exceeded our expectations.
Additionally he helped us with some extra voiceovers for some other videos we had, and helped us achieve consistency across them all. Upfront with his costs and methods throught.
I would have no hesitation recommending him again.

Great working with Steve. Very creative and professional. He added a new lease of life to project which needed it and couldn't have been happier with the results.

We have been very pleased with the motion graphics we have commissioned from moving vision. The work was quick, clever and remarkably sensitive to our brief. We have also commissioned Stephen Heppel to tutor some of our team in using AfterEffects and would recommend his expertise to anyone who cares about contemporary media and innovative publicity.

Also, they will be on CFNY's "Live in TO" show this week (perhaps Friday?). It is at 6pm. This will be broadcast from the Bloor and Bathurst Studio. Also, I have heard they will be on Much Music sometime - I don't have any details... Their TO is sold out (or at least that's what I was told when I went to purchase tix). They are playing the Opera House. I guess my only chance to see them play is at HMV... Also, has anyone seen the latest NETWORK mag? I was down at Sam's today and picked one up... It has a cover photo of Sloan, and a three page article on them. Also, there is a section on SLOAN NET! It even gives James' e-mail address (so don't be surprised if you are swamped with e-mails). They also ask the band what they thing of SloanNet. CHECK IT OUT!!! Later, Derek -- ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Derek P.

Unanswered Questions...
By the way, the floor is back to being clean. Laundry basket only...
We are going to see the first showing of the new X men movie this morning. It starts at 10:05.
The next question is about the new lampshade. I didn't notice until it had a light behind it. It has a line down the shade wherever they put in a new piece of cork cover... It bothers me. I am going to have to figure out some way to cover it. I like it other than that flaw and don't want to take it back.
Last question... I got some bronze nail headed upholstery tacks yesterday. There will be more than this on each arm of the chair. I like them. The bigger problem is what to do about the arms. They are kind of gray from about 5 years of use. I either have to take a scrub brush to them or reupholster... I think that the scrub brush is the lesser of the two evils... If it works...
I guess I could always crochet antimacassars for the arms and back... The Victorians liked those. They were invented to combat the awful Macassar's Hair Oil. They worked to a point. I always wondered if the oil went through all of the little holes in the crochet and left a pattern anyway.
I remember my grandmother and aunt were still using antimacassars when I was a little kid. They both lived on farms. I imagine that they were trying to combat all kinds of dirt that was drug in by the men. Who knows? That was after the city folks had stopped using them years before.
Anyway, I have to go get ready to watch the world being saved, yet again, by the X men...
See you tomorrow.

Casey I liked it and I didn't think I would but this xman is pretty good.... as for your arm chairs steam clean them with the carpet shampooer ...it works really well on furniture ,
one of Rich's friends dropped pizza on a cushion then turned it over..you cant really tell that it happened and that friend has disappeared but I had nothing to do with that :)

Steam-cleaning is MAGIC.
If that doesn't fully work, the next step is to find or assemble cloth placemats that coordinate with your pillows and hide whatever stain is left. You can sew your own arm covers, too, if you feel ambitious about fitting curves.
I like the floor paper, but whether Tessie will is another question.

I saw some bronze-coloured lace at the haberdashers once. That might look steampunky enough if you glue it over the cork joins on the lamp.

Lene, I don't think that lace would show up well on the shade. It almost looks like brown lace itself. Lots of tiny holes. I am thinking maybe som black ribbon or trim to coordinate with the lamp base. I think that it will have to be something solid.

…even the White House Press Secretary. If you are going to go "off-script", know what you are talking about. And then, know your audience so that you can know how it will be received.
To help out all the prospective spokespeople out there, here is my top 5 list of things you should never get wrong when speaking to the media. Admittedly, there are other points to consider but these are just as legitimate as any:
5. Lay off the millennials. They get it…you don't like them. But they make up a pretty big portion of your target audience. According to Statistics Canada, half of Canada was at least 40 years old in 2014. So, while about half of the population of the country can laugh along, another pretty big chunk just went down the road with their money and support.
4. Deflecting blame must be woven into our DNA as part of the fight-or-flight response. I know it is tempting to say, "What we did may seem bad but look at what THEY did!" or "They put us in this position!" but I highly recommend you "fight" that urge. It is narcissistic and people can see through it.
3. The journalist may not be your friend but doesn't mean you can treat them like your enemy. They are doing their job. In fact, if you want to get technical, they are doing the job that you have told them you want them to do. The Constitution Act of 1982 defines "freedom of the press and other media of communication" as a Fundamental Freedom in the second paragraph…so, pretty important, I guess! Plus, every time you buy a newspaper or in any way, shape or form contribute to sustaining a media outlet, you are giving them license to pursue their next story.
2. You are never off the record…ever. The outpouring of personal revelations and emotional expression should be reserved for quiet moments of self-reflection, not for the interview. Focus on your key message; stay on point. If you find yourself in a conversation with a media outlet or journalist, remember that if your lips are moving, you are responsible for the words that pass through them.
1. Never, under any circumstances suggest that anything Hitler or the Nazis did, regardless of how strongly you think you can back it up, was good. Ever. I am hesitant to bring him up here! Just don't do it.
Wouldn't you agree, Mr. Spicer?

25th May, 1985 : Hundreds of men, women and children have died in a ferocious assault upon the Palestinian strongholds in Beirut by Syrian-backed Shi'ite militiamen. The battle for control of the Chatila and Sabra camps began when Amal, the Shi'ite private army, swarmed in to disarm Palestinian fighters. The camps, which were the scene of a massacre inflicted by Christian Lebanese militia during the Israeli invasion three years ago, are located in south Beirut.
Today bearded Amal irregulars, equipped with AK-47 assault rifles, fought it out in the back streets of the shanty town, overwhelming the PLO defenders, while Red Cross ambulances were refused entry. Even by Lebanese standards the battles are exceptionally vicious and bloody.
Nabih Berri, commander of the Amal forces, blames Yasser Arafat for attempting to rebuild the power-base in Beirut he lost last year by pumping in money and key men. Simultaneously, however, he is now moving towards peace negotiations with Israel, a process bitterly opposed by Syria and PLO defectors. To counteract these schemes the Syrian President, Hafez el Assad, organised an all-out attack on the camps. Using his Amal allies in the assault he hopes to break Palestinian power there once and for all and to establish Syrian rule. The Shi'ite offensive is the most cynical of Syria's actions in Lebanon.
[ Oh, those good old, almost peacefull times, only thirty years ago! ]

Sunscreen -California Tan -Sunscreen Spf 15

This is a really high quality lotion. It has ingredients to accelerate tanning yet SPF 15 to prevent burning. The texture is perfect and light and the smell is lovely. It is a bit hard to find, but they do sell it at tanning salons sometimes or online. Really one of the best sun screens.
Bronzers -California Tan -Suddenly Sun
on 6/20/2013 8:35:00 PM
INCREDIBLE! Perfect colour, I recently started tanning once a week in the beds and use this on my face and neck area since it lags behind in colour. This stuff is my holy grail bronzer and I will continue to buy it over and over and over. Beautiful colour, and covereage. I got it on ebay for 16 dollars plus shipping. Wonderful product. If you want a perfect bronzer... BUY this!
Lotions/ Creams -California Tan -Total Immersion
on 12/9/2008 12:30:00 AM
Smells nice and clean, absorbs fast and evenly. A good choice for drier skin. Will not repurchase only because there are so many lotions out there and I love trying new things.
Lotions/ Creams -California Tan -Spiked Butter
on 5/9/2008 10:16:00 AM
Low tingle factor, good color, but it feels like rubbing Vaseline on your skin! Blech, I don't want to even think about how clogged my pores got. Breakout to ensue, I'm sure...
Lotions/ Creams -California Tan -X Power - With Bronzers
on 10/27/2007 10:51:00 PM
I work at a tanning salon so I've used a plethora of lotions.
This has strong DHA bronzers which will give you instant color but streak easily and look odd on lighter complected people.
The consistency is thin and a bit oily, the smell is not impressive.

Creating An Abstract Class That Will Define All Database Manipulation Methods To ImplementMar 3, 2010
I am developing a couple of small ASP.NET application and would like to know what pattern. approach do you use in your projects.
My projects involve databases, using Data access and Business logic layers.
The data-access approach that I was using so far is the following(I read in some book and liked it):
For DAL layer:
Creating an abstract class that will define all database manipulation methods to implement.
The abstract class will contain a static "Instance" property, that will load (if instance == null) an instance (Activator.CreateInstance) of the needed type (a class that implements it).
Creating a classes that implement this abstract class, the implementation will be according to the databases (SQL, mySQL and etc) in use.
With this I can create different implementation according to database in use.
For BLL layer:
A class that encapsulates all all retrieved fields , and static methods that will call the DAL classes.

Pony Lounge & Dining
'Pony' is a new restaurant and bar in The Rocks, Sydney.
The historic former bond warehouse has been transformed into a sophisticated dining space dominated by a theatrical open kitchen. A band of pony skin squares defines the boundary of the kitchen and provided inspiration for the name.
Layfield was commissioned to design the brand identity, signage and all the collateral, from the menus through to the marketing material.
Layfield created an engaging hand-drawn logo where the loop of the 'y' extends to create a lasso. From the large name by the entrance, the lasso loops its way around the restaurant, etched on all the windows and the glass doors leading out to the terrace.

Jim Dey: Court reverses long-held 'public duty' ruling
Most people's eyes glaze over when the subject of civil lawsuits and the rules that guide them come up.
But the nuclear bomb dropped last week by the Illinois Supreme Court will wake some of them up, particularly those local public officials who now find themselves with dramatically broader exposure to expensive lawsuits.
Rewriting decades of established law in Illinois, the high court — by a 4-3 margin — repealed the public-duty doctrine that holds local government entities, including fire and police departments, owe their duty to protect to the general public, not individual citizens.
The lawsuit opens the way for individuals to sue governmental entities based on some claim of harm caused to them as a result of the public entity's negligence.
The court's ruling in Coleman vs. East Joliet Fire Protection District arises from a lawsuit filed by the family of a Will County woman who died while awaiting the arrival of an ambulance.
"After much reflection, we have determined that the time has come to abandon the public duty rule," Justice Thomas Kilbride wrote for the court's majority.
Kilbride contended that "the underlying purposes of the public duty rule are better served by application of conventional tort principles and the immunity protection provided by statutes than by a rule that precludes a finding of a duty on the basis of the defendant's status as a public entity."
Kilbride was joined in his decision by Justice Anne Burke. Justices Charles Freeman and Mary Jane Theis wrote concurring opinions expressing their agreement with abolishing the public-duty doctrine but stating their own rationale for doing so.
Justice Robert Thomas wrote a vehement dissent, with Justices Lloyd Karmeier and Rita Garman joining him.
He accused the court's majority of making a "mockery of stare decisis," the doctrine of standing by a previous judicial ruling on a specific subject.
Thomas characterized Kilbride's reasons for making a change as "not compelling, not in the least."
"In fact, they are not 'reasons' at all but rather transparent ex post rationalizations for a foregone conclusion, none of which holds up to even a moment's scrutiny," Thomas said.
Whatever the merits of the court's ruling, the public-duty rule is history, at least for now.
But the Illinois Municipal League already has decided to ask legislators to reinstate it by statute.
"It's not a ruling that we were pleased to see," said Illinois Municipal League Executive Director Brad Cole, who called it a "significant shift in public policy."
Cole said that because the ruling will drive up the legal costs it will "impact local communities and the services they provide."
The municipal league's effort will be met by strong opposition from the Illinois Trial Lawyer's Association.
Champaign County Sheriff Dan Walsh was among those public officials distressed by the court's ruling.
"I think it could open a can of worms for cities and counties," Walsh said.
Speculating on possible litigation scenarios, Walsh cited cases like those of a burglar who commits a series of break-ins before being caught.
Could victims of all the break-ins after the first one sue the sheriff's office on the grounds that they would not have been victimized if police had arrested the burglar sooner?
"I can think of a lot of scenarios where someone can argue, 'It's willful and wanton negligence,' and a judge would say, 'It has to go to a jury (to decide),'" he said.
Champaign City Attorney Fred Stavins was not quite as concerned as Walsh, suggesting litigation would arise only in a "sliver of cases."
But, citing the facts in the Coleman case, Stavins said the ruling is "potentially troubling."
About 6:10 p.m. on June 7, 2008, Coretta Coleman called Will County 911 to report that she was having difficulty breathing and needed an ambulance. The 911 operator transferred the call, as regulations required, to another dispatcher but neglected to say it was a medical emergency.
The second dispatcher, Eric Johnson, tried to speak with Coleman but got no response. Johnson hung up and tried to call the Coleman residence twice but no one answered.
Johnson subsequently dispatched an ambulance, which arrived at the Coleman residence at 6:19 p.m. No one responded to paramedics' knocks and yells and medical personnel were reluctant to force their way in.
Confusion reigned. The bottom line is that the first ambulance left. Later, a second ambulance was dispatched and arrived at 6:51 p.m. Again, no one answered the door. But Coleman's husband arrived home and let the paramedics into the house, where they found her unconscious.
She later died at the hospital, and the family filed a wrongful death lawsuit against multiple defendants, including the dispatcher and the fire district.
Adding to the confusion surrounding the Coleman ambulance call is the simultaneous string of tornadoes that were creating havoc in that area, overwhelming first responders with calls for assistance.
Thomas said Kilbride "conveniently and conspicuously" failed to mention the weather disaster that he said illustrates "the continuing need for the public-duty rule."
"Under circumstances such as a mass disaster, local public entities must have the flexibility to prioritize and respond to community emergencies without having their judgment questioned," he wrote.
The biggest threat posed to governmental entities by the decision is not that defendants will win "willful and wanton negligence" claims against governmental entities, but that such lawsuits will be more expensive to defend. That kind of circumstance often leads to decisions to settle cases out of court because it's cheaper than paying to defend them in court.
"What I am concerned about is that it will prolong cases," Stavins said. "It does have the potential to run up our costs."
To cover those extra costs, governmental entities will be required to divert money from other programs to spend on insurance.
"I'd probably be upping the premiums if I was setting them," Sheriff Walsh said.

Company of Heroes 2: Don't buy it… Boycot it or Pirate it!
Company of Heroes 2 went on sale this weekend, and I ALMOST picked it up… Until I read some interesting reviews about the rampant and disgusting historical revisionism. Look, I'm American, so I don't "have a dog in this fight", and even /I/ find the skewed portrayal of Russians absolutely unacceptable and greatly offensive. So, screw you Relic, I'm not buying the game. If anyone asks me about the game, I'm going to tell them to download a torrent, and to avoid buying the game at all costs (or any Relic game for that matter).
I wouldn't be as bothered by Relic's anti-slavic attitude if Relic wasn't so adamant that they were correct. What's more, they apparently block, ban, and otherwise censor anyone that questions the historical accuracy of their game. God forbid people question their ignorant, nationalistic writing which they pass off as THE TRUTH.

Herbert Marcuse, "Aggressiveness in Advanced Industrial Society"
Recently I was recommended this article by Herbert Marcuse. The more theoretical aspects of it are very interesting, so I recommend reading the article in its entirety. However, reading it, I was struck by the relevence of the article, written in 1967, to the present-day United States and the current war in Iraq. Excerpted below an especially apt passage, which could easily be manipulated to reflect the situation in Iraq (replace "jungle" with "desert", etc.):
The (anonymous) lead article in Les Temps Modernes (January 1966) links the war in Vietnam with the puritan tradition in the United States. The image of the enemy is that of dirt in its most repulsive forms; the unclean jungle is his natural habitat, disembowelment and beheading are his natural ways of action. Consequently, the burning of his refuge, defoliation, and the poisoning of his foodstuff are not only strategic but also moral operations: removing of contagious dirt, clearing the way for the order of political hygiene and righteousness. And the mass purging of the good conscience from all rational inhibitions leads to the atrophy of the last rebellion of sanity against the madhouse: no satire, no ridicule attends the moralists who organize and defend the crime. Thus one of them can, without becoming a laughingstock, publicly praise as the "greatest performance in our nation's history," the indeed historical achievement of the richest, most powerful, and most advanced country of the world unleashing the destructive force of its technical superiority on one of the poorest, weakest, and most helpless countries of the world.

The Paramount Chief of the Effutu Traditional Area, Neenyi Ghartey VII, has assured the public that the impending 2017 Aboakyir Festival would be peaceful.
The festival in the past years has been largely marred by violence as a result of a lingering chieftaincy dispute in the area. But the Chief explained that such things are a thing of the past, since for the first time in twenty (20) years, all the Asafo companies have agreed to participate in the celebration of the deer hunting.
He explained that all traditional authorities and the security agencies have put in place measures that will forestall any unforeseen acrimony during the celebration of the festival.
"Aboakyir should be peaceful; we had lengthy discussions with the Municipal Security Council and the youth on Thursday, and we are optimistic this year's Abaokyir would surely be peaceful."
He therefore warned all trouble makers to stay off the festival as the law enforcement agencies will deal with any recalcitrant.
Neenyi Ghartey VII added that, the youth are ready to support a peaceful Aboakyir which will promote development in the area.
"Times have changed; and we are not in the same era again.
Our discussions are going down with the youth. From the reaction we are getting from the youth, they are being more careful and vigilant.
They are thinking more about their community and its image; and I know that this year's Aboakyir would a remarkable festival." He also called on indigenes of Effutu to get involved to ensure a peaceful celebration.
The festival will take place in the first week of May, 2017.

Our family has decided to completely phase dairy (cow's) milk out of our diets, so I decided to find oodles of different alternative milk recipes, make them all up, and let everyone in the family give them a try. We then rated them on a scale of 1 to 5, and the top 2-3 will be our household staples. I did not make almond milk this go round, because I've made that in that in the past and knew that we all liked it. I wanted to branch out and try some other options this time. In case you missed that Almond Milk recipe and would like to make it, here's the link for you.
From left to right: Cashew Milk, Coconut Milk, Oat Milk, Rice Milk
Coconut Milk
1 cup unsweetened coconut flakes
3 cups boiling water
1 tsp vanilla
3 dates (more or less to suit your tastes)
Place all ingredients (except 1 cup boiling water) into a Vita Mix blender and blend thoroughly. Carefully pour into a sieve or cheesecloth to strain. Place remaining coconut back into Vita Mix, and pour remaining 1 cup boiling hot water in with the coconut. Blend thoroughly, and carefully pour into sieve or cheesecloth to strain. Place all coconut milk into your favorite jar or pitcher, refrigerate until completely chilled and enjoy!
This Coconut Milk was a family favorite, so I'll be making this one often. Enjoy everyone!
And in case you missed it, here's a link to my Quick Cashew Milk recipe too!

|● Use your Private Parts as Piranha bait
|● Get your Toast out with a Fork
|● Do your Own Electrical Work
Get your Toast out with a a Fork is the first line of the second verse. He is introduced after the first chorus and comes before Do your Own Electrical Work.
The line is characterized by an entirely skeletal figure. Dummkopf is part of the second group and is a second dancer.
Dummkopf is seen holding a fork stuck into a piece of toast inside a toaster. He then lifts it up, and gets electrocuted. His burnt flesh falls down, revealing his skeletal form. He then looks down, then frowns.
Fork Folly
The player must get the fork out without touching the sides of the toaster. If you win, Dummkopf will get his toast. If you fail, Dummkopf will get electrocuted.
There is another minigame where Dummkopf is washing dishes. Up to four sloped shelves, each with appliances all sliding down to him, will be present. The player should drag the appliances back up before they fall. This will continue until the timer depletes, where Dummkopf catches falling toast on her fork. Failure is electrocution again.

Posted on August 28, 2013.
The Collierville football team kicked off their 2013 season on the right foot, or feet, Friday night on the road against Bolton.
The Dragons crushed the Wildcats 49-17, amassing 288 rushing yards in the process.
Collierville's running tandem of Drew Van De Vuurst, Mitch Owens and Edmond Pomphrett punished the Bolton defenders and scored a combined five touchdowns.
The Dragon's passing game dazzled too, as 6-foot-5-inch quarterback Alex Hicks threw for 244 yards.
In fact, Hicks scored the first touchdown of the game with a 58-yard pass to Austin Hall.
"Our receiving core is talented and senior heavy," said Dragon Head Coach Ron O'Neill.
Collierville scored again on another Hicks pass to Van De Vuurst.
Bolton finally got on the scoreboard with a 39-foot field goal.
However, the Wildcats would not score again until the fourth quarter.
With a 21-3 halftime lead, the Dragons picked up where they left off in the second half, with Owens and Hall both rushed for touchdowns. Owens, a senior, finished the game with 55 yards. Hall finished with 64 reception yards.
Collierville will host Arlington this Friday for the first home game of the season. The Tigers are coming off of a close 24-19 win against Kirby.

i don't have a car that has automatic windows, so the only time i use them is as passengers or when i get a rental.
Whenever i get in a car with automatic windows, my first instinct is always wrong about what will make them go up versus down. You'd think that this is a straightforward thing; press down and they go down, press up and they go up. And for the longest time i couldn't figure out why it was so confusing to me.
Last night when i got back into my own car, i figured it out. When i want to roll down my window on my manual car, i rotate the handle counter-clockwise. I see this as a "pulling" motion which mainly starts at 4 o'clock to 12 o'clock and then continues around. When i want to roll up, i rotate the handle clockwise, which i see as a "pushing" motion which mainly starts at 12 o'clock to 4 o'clock.
So to me, the rolling of a car window is associated with "push" and "pull" rather than "up" or "down". So on an automatic window car, i want "pushing" the button to be associated with rolling the window up and "pulling" the window to be associated with rolling the window down.
now that i get that, i'll probably be able to absorb the habit with less confusion.
how about them apples.

Each day people throughout the nation experience severe illnesses or injuries that prompt them to seek medical assistance. It's fair to say that most individuals who reside in St. Louis, Missouri, go to hospitals for this medical attention at hospitals because they assume that they will be well taken care of and will leave in a better condition than when they arrived. While hospitals generally live up to those expectations, there are times when patients are worse-off after such a visit. Eighteen people who live in another state would probably say that they fall into that category.
Surgery may have led to exposure to Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease
Could temperature sensitive lids reduce beverage scaldings?
Many residents of St. Louis, Missouri, likely remember the personal injury lawsuit filed against McDonalds over two decades ago, by a woman who was seriously burned when the coffee bought via the restaurant's drive thru spilled on her. The woman prevailed and the restaurant lowered the temperature that it serves the beverage. Despite the warnings this case provided both proprietors as well as customers purchasing coffee, individuals are still burned by hot beverages.

Ibn Sahl
Ibn Sahl (Arabic: ابن سهل) (Abu Saʿd al-ʿAlaʾ ibn Sahl ) (Arabic: أبو سعد العلاء ابن سهل) (c. 940–1000) was a Persian[1][2] Muslim mathematician, physicist and optics engineer of the Islamic Golden Age associated with the Abbasid court of Baghdad. Ibn Sahl's 984[3] treatise On Burning Mirrors and Lenses sets out his understanding of how curved mirrors and lenses bend and focus light. Ibn Sahl is credited with first discovering the law of refraction, usually called Snell's law.[4][5] He used the law of refraction to derive lens shapes that focus light with no geometric aberrations, known as anaclastic lenses.
In the reproduction of the figure from Ibn Sahl's manuscript, the critical part is the right-angled triangle. The inner hypotenuse shows the path of an incident ray and the outer hypotenuse shows an extension of the path of the refracted ray if the incident ray met a crystal whose face is vertical at the point where the two hypotenuses intersect.[6] According to Roshdi Rashed,[5] an author and historian of medieval science and mathematics, the ratio of the length of the smaller hypotenuse to the larger is the reciprocal of the refractive index of the crystal.
The lower part of the figure shows a representation of a plano-convex lens (at the right) and its principal axis (the intersecting horizontal line). The curvature of the convex part of the lens brings all rays parallel to the horizontal axis (and approaching the lens from the right) to a focal point on the axis at the left.
In the remaining parts of the treatise, Ibn Sahl dealt with parabolic mirrors, ellipsoidal mirrors, biconvex lenses, and techniques for drawing hyperbolic arcs.
Ibn Sahl's treatise was used by Ibn al-Haitham (965–1039), one of the greatest scholars of optics. In modern times, Rashed found the text to have been dispersed in manuscripts in two different libraries, one in Teheran, and the other in Damascus. He reassembled the surviving portions, translated and published them.[7]

I know you are feeling very neglected and unloved right now.
I am sorry.
I don't mean to neglect you like this.
You are very important to me.
You are very much needed to help me keep what's left of my sanity.
However, for the past few weeks, I've been dealing with a sick boy as well as battling a sinus cold myself.
Unfortunately, I have not found the button to pause the rest of my life while I deal with these things, so I have found myself more sleep deprived and mental exhausted than usual.
Many times over recent days I've sat down with the intent of writing a blog post only to find that I couldn't even compose a coherent tweet or facebook status. When I couldn't coherently compost a 140 character thought, it was quite clear that there was no point in even attempting a blog post!
Please, my dear blog, remember that when you are neglected like this, it is for a good reason. And that I will always come back to you. (Unless I have been committed to an insane asylum without computer time.) My sanity depends on my time spent with you.
Love Me. xoxoxox

This Tub Was Refinished By A Company That Did Not Remove The Drain And Caulked Around It. It Started To Peel In Less Than A Month...
Don't Let This Happen To You...
– Tom Brekke - Owner of BathCare Since 1988
When I started BathCare in 1988, I decided to provide my customers with the best product possible. To achieve this goal the drain must be removed.
Before BathCare was established, I worked for a few different resurfacing companies. I was taught to tape around the drain and was shocked by the number of bathtubs that began to peel; as a direct result of "taping around" the drain.
When the drain is removed, there is no chance for the material to peel around it. But since the drain cannot be installed when the tub is drying, a second trip to the house is necessary.
When the drain is taped around, normal everyday use can cause the material to fail prematurely. But since the job can be "done in one day", this is the route that many of our competitors choose. Saving them time and money.
We would love not to have to come back and reinstall the drain (or NEW DRAIN) the following day. It would save us a lot of time and money. But to do the job right, We need to return to your home to finish our work.
We have removed the drain for the past 20 years and will continue to do so because, in the end, it gives Our Customers the best product possible.
The Following Bathtubs Were Done By Companies Other That BathCare... Some Of Them Started Peeling Around The Drain In Less Than A Year!
These Pictures Were Taken Before BathCare Removed The Drains And Resurfaced These Tubs.
