By Dylan Vazzano, TTU Sports Information Coordinator
COOKEVILLE, Tenn. – The Tennessee Tech soccer team prepares themselves for a lighter week of action, as the Golden Eagles (3-10-0, 1-3-0) take aim at Jacksonville State on Sunday, Oct. 13 for the team's only match of the weekend. Kickoff is slated for 1 p.m. CDT in Jacksonville, Ala.
"It's kind of nice to only play one this week," fourth-year head coach Daniel Brizard said in preparation for Sunday's duel. "One game is good for us, our team just has to have the proper mindset. We took the first two days off this week and are going to train all the way up to Saturday, instead of taking a mid-week day off. Hopefully that can help us right the ship."
TTU enters the matchup in a bit of a slide after dropping three consecutive Ohio Valley Conference affairs. The Golden Eagles began OVC play with a determined 1-0 road victory against one of the better teams in the conference in SIU Edwardsville on Sep. 27, but since then Tech has been outscored 12-2 in its trio of defeats, including 8-0 this past weekend in home losses to Austin Peay and Murray State.
"I mean we are just going to have to find a way to turn the page and get past last weekend," Brizard said when asked about moving forward. "It's not really a matter of wanting to, it's a matter of having to. It's in the past."
Jacksonville State comes into the tilt scuffling in their own right after coming out of the OVC gates to the tune of an 0-4-0 record. The Gamecocks put together a solid non-conference mark, going 4-4-1, but since the start of conference, JSU has managed just two goals in four matches.
Before Jacksonville State plays host to Tech, the Gamecocks will make a trip to 1-2-1 Belmont Friday evening in Nashville.
TTU is on the short end of a 3-6-3 all-time series record with JSU, including last year's 2-1 home loss on Sep. 23. Senior Ellie Iaciofano was responsible for Tech's lone goal in last season's meeting, scoring in the 71st minute with the Golden Eagles already down 2-0.
This year, Iaciofano currently leads the team with three goals and four assists. The four assists puts the Loveland, Ohio native in a tie for second in the OVC, while her ten points is good enough for seventh in the conference.
As far as Jacksonville State is concerned, its offensive attack starts and ends with junior Jackie Rush. The 5-6 midfielder from Trophy Club, Texas has a team-leading five goals, a mark that puts her in a tie for fifth in the OVC. Rush won't hesitate to fire away either, leading the conference in shots with 58 and shots per match with 4.46.
Sunday's match will officially make it halfway through the OVC slate in the ten-tilt campaign. For Brizard, the opportunity to finish strong in the second half of the conference year is still out there for his team.
"The OVC is kind of wide open this year, we still have a chance to do some things in conference," Brizard claimed. "Our mindset and heart will be a big factor for us. We are only four games in, there are still six left so anything can still happen."

The Accounting Historians Journal Vol. 11, No. 1 Spring 1984

PLANNING AND CONTROL IN THE 19th CENTURY ICE TRADE
Abstract: This paper describes selected accounting records of the Tudor Ice Company which were devised to manage and control the far-flung business activi-ties of Frederic Tudor, a 19th century entrepreneur who has been called America's first monopolist. Tudor's business genius lay in developing methods of harvesting, transporting, storing, and marketing commercial quantities of ice taken from New England ponds and shipped to tropical ports around the world. Frederic Tudor employed relatively sophisticated accounting techniques to analyze and control transportation costs and the costs of product shrinkage. He also routinely analyzed and translated foreign currency transactions for his geographically dispersed op-erations and evaluated the impact of competition on his operations.
He cuts and saws the solid pond, unroofs the house of fishes, and carts off their very elements and air, held fast by chains and stakes like corded wood, through the favor-ing winter air to wintry cellars to underlie the summer there ....
Walden—Henry David Thoreau
Frederic Tudor (1783-1864) was a 19th century Boston entrepre-neur who recognized the potential profit in shipping and marketing commercial quantities of ice harvested from New England lakes and ponds to tropical climates where the product, if known at all, was a luxury good. Through his singleminded and often ruthless pursuit of profit, he developed a thriving industry where none had existed before. Tudor's business practices earned him some notoriety as America's first monopolist.
Eventually known throughout New England as "The Ice King," Tudor's first ice shipment in 1806 amounted to only 130 tons. At the

I've had a bad week. You would think that after all the years I've lived with sacroiliac joint pain I would do a better job of managing my pain and inflammation. But there are still many times when the pain-filled days outnumber the pleasant ones.
I don't like to talk about my pain, perhaps because I am tired of hearing my own complaints. Thirty years of nursing probably adds to my dislike of complaints. I also have come to realize that complaining does very little good for me or those around me. I try to save the complaining for the big times when I just can't hold it in any longer and the tears, the bitchy spirit and inactivity are all forced upon me. And then it all passes.
But for the sake of getting to know each other, I will explain what it is like to suffer from my particular malady. It is probably more accurate to describe it as the worst of a long litany of problems that I endure. For me, the worst is the inflammation of the sacroiliac (SI) joints, which are the longest joints in the body and also the ones you sit upon.
It is difficult to put it delicately, and I gave up a long time ago trying to sidestep the issue. I have a pain in my backside. That upon which I sit hurts most of the time... always after sitting on a hard surface such as a chair or a bench. The pain extends down the back of my legs bilaterally and for me is distinctively identified by the feeling that I have an elephant sitting on my lap. The pressure on the pubic bone and the pelvis is severe. That's pretty much it, with the accompanying difficulties that all sitting brings in all social situations such as dinner, travel or the movies.
I am taking NSAIDs (nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs), low-dose prednisone, methotrexate, and anti-malarials, as well as pain pills and muscle relaxants. I have special exercises to stretch the SI joints that would make Houdini look stoic. I also take stool softeners because, well, that's part of it also.
I know from past experience that this painful time will eventually pass. I will do my exercises, rest, stop lifting my grandchildren, become more irate when the bag boy puts three half-gallons of milk in one bag and generally try to be good to myself. Then this strange phenomenon takes over, and I will have a gloriously wonderful day. The Columbia River, where we live, will sparkle, I will once again enjoy laughter, my husband will stop giving me that look as if my evil twin has been visiting, and my life will once again be half full.
I know I don't have enough courage to live the way I must, and I often don't know how I will do it. But you see, when it comes to this disease, I have no choice. In other ways, I have many choices. I can choose the best doctor I can find. I can choose not to talk about my problems constantly. I can choose joy over sorrow. I choose to see the climbing rose on my front porch, to savor the warmth of our Victorian home and to laugh at both of our dogs, who are natural born clowns.
I didn't choose this disease, but I can choose how I live with it. What choices are you making?

Cameron University student Bryce Geiger received two awards for his research poster presentation at the 101st annual meeting of the Oklahoma Academy of Science. Geiger's poster presentation, titled "Potential UV-communication in the Kangaroo rat (Dipodomys ordii)," was classified in the Biological Sciences – Zoology section, where it was awarded the top prize in that discipline. Geiger then shared the top award for best overall poster presentation across all disciplines from more 30 poster presentations prepared by students from colleges and universities throughout Oklahoma in categories ranging from Biomedical Sciences to Fish and Wildlife Conservation.
For his research project, Geiger collaborated with Cameron faculty members Brandon McDonald, Dr. Ramiro Moro, former Cameron student Kelsey Carter, and Dr. Joseph Macedonia, Florida Southern College.
Geiger, a biology major from Snyder, will graduate in May and is planning on attending optometry school.

Summary of Building Code Findings in Laredo
The following is an executive summary of findings from an analysis conducted of the residential building code in effect for your community as it compares to model codes and beyond-code disaster resilient building practices.
Residential Building Code for City of Laredo
2012 International Residential Code with amendments
Residential Building Code for Webb County
Residential Building Code Opportunities:
Building Code Effectiveness Grading Schedule (BSEGS) Rating for City of Laredo: 5
Building Code Effectiveness Grading Schedule (BSEGS) Rating for Webb County: 99
All communities need building codes to protect their citizens from weather risks such as hurricanes, tornadoes, flash floods, hail, and wildfire. Safe, strong and sustainable homes that are more resilient against damage from natural disasters also support a more stable local economy, fewer taxpayer burdens, and reduced demand for emergency services.
Local elected leaders committed to protecting the public have a central role in improving the level of safety for homes built in their communities. Strong building codes and effective enforcement of those are the foundation for disaster-resilient communities.

Thou Shalt Have No Other Gods
Yad Le'Achim Spokesman Interviewed:
Many years ago - in the late 60's, an American Jew who had come to believe in Yeshua, visited Israel. After traveling around the country, and talking to a number of Israelis, he sadly remarked to me, "I don't believe that Israelis will ever believe in Yeshua. The gap is too great."
I answered him immediately, "Of course they will! The Old and New Testaments are full of promises that 'all Israel shall be saved!'"
"The Old Testament", I continued, "states hundreds of times that Israel will return to her land and return to her God. And the New Testament confirms this truth over and again…." (See Rom 11:12-26, Matthew 23:39, Acts 3:18-26)
Simply put, God has promised Israel two things: 1) He would bring His Jewish people back to their own homeland, and 2) He would give them a new heart and put His Spirit in them. (Ezk. 36:24-27) What more could we ask for??
Back in those days (the 60's) there was only a tiny handful of born-again Israelis - and as far as I knew - only one or possibly two native-born, believing adults in the whole country. Quite a long way from the salvation promised by the prophets!
Today, there is no question we are gaining ground. In a recent survey, over 50 congregations in Israel have been listed, along with another 50 plus budding home groups. It is true that the majority of believers are immigrants - from Russia, Ethiopia, North and South America and a few from Europe.
Still, it is estimated that there are at least 2,000 sabras (native-born Israelis) who now identify themselves as followers of Yeshua. As you see in the Yediot Aharonot article, the press estimates there are some 15,000 Jewish believers now in the land. There are always growing pains with any living organism - and that is certainly true of the Messianic congregations in Israel.
How does a home group in Israel become a congregaton and aquire a small auditorium? It is possible, but the leap is costly. Our present facility (which is now almost maxed out at close to 200 adults and 90 kids) costs $9,000 per month rent and utilities.
But what does an Israeli congregation do when it outgrows the small auditorium? In our case, to move to the next level - an auditorium of approximately 500 people, and a larger space for children and youth - our costs may triple. Nevertheless, there is full agreement in our congregation that it is time to take the next leap forward.
We are pressing in through prayer and by taking the practical steps of intensely searching for the right place. We need your help for this mammoth step - help to secure a larger place so we can continue to grow.
We know we can't do it by ourselves or in ourselves, but we will succeed through the power of the Holy Spirit and the help of like-minded members of His Body!
The key is and will be faithful, monthly supporters who will help us bear the cost of rent in downtown Tel Aviv - by investing an added $25, $50, or $100 or more per month.
If the Body in Israel has grown from a handful to 15,000 in this last generation, think what is going to happen in the next few years as we grow closer to the coming of the Messiah!
All Israel shall be saved!
Ari & Shira Sorko-Ram
P.S. As we mentioned last month, we would so appreciate your beginning your pledge now before we sign a new lease, as we will have to pay several months' rent in advance! If you live in the U.S. or Canada, your "rent money" for Tel Aviv can be credited from your account automatically through EZ Pay. Just call our office in Dallas: 800-856-7060. Thank you again! WE RECEIVED ALL THE MONEY NEEDED FOR THE FIRST WATER PUMP FOR BURKINA FASO!

Featuring a calm gold-sand beach that stretches over a half-mile long, this park is the perfect place to relax and do picnic with your family.
Situated between the downtown area and Ala Moana, Kaka'ako is the home to the fabulous Pow Wow Hawaii. It is full of great restaurants, bars and local shops. You can wander around the neighborhood and discover dozens of artistic street murals on the buildings' sides. The Kaka'ako Waterfront Park is a good place to enjoy jog or just enjoy the sunset. Many physical developments have been undertaken by the government to improve the living quality of both travelers and residents in this neighborhood.
Typically, it is expensive to travel by taxi. Once in a cab, the meter starts at $3.00, and as traffic jams are common in Honolulu, you can end up paying $10 for only a block's ride. It is the most effective way to transfer you from the airport to the city, though. Despite the high cost, most of the taxi drivers in Honolulu are pleasant and informative. Finding a taxi in Honolulu is not difficult, as you can always ask the staff from the hotel or other enjoyment places to call one for you.
If you want to explore the entire island during your visit, it's better to rent a car for 1-2 days to get the full experience. Rental cost averages about $30 USD a day. Exploring the island by car is a great way to experience more of the culture. The further you get from downtown, the less expensive the prices. It's always fun to spend entire day to make a circle island trip. Driving in the city means that you have to understand several driving rules, like allowing pedestrians to use the street first even if not in the cross walk. During rush hour, some streets apply contra-flow lanes to balance the traffic volume. You cannot turn left against the heavy traffic during this time.
Many travelers recommend that you do not need to rent a car every day since the cost of parking isn't worth it. Daily parking in Honolulu starts at $20 USD for a regular parking service at Ala Moana and goes up to over $40 at some luxury hotels in Waikiki area.
Honolulu has convenient bus transportation to get you around the city. TheBus costs $2.50 each way and with a requested transfer and the passenger receives up to two connections on that day. Children (ages 6-17) are half-price, while children under 5 ride free with a paying adult. If you are visiting Honolulu for four days or more, an unlimited usage pass is available at TheBus Pass Office and at selected ABC stores for $35 a person. The Ala Moana Center is the major hub point for TheBus.
The Chinatown area is one of the richest cultural scenes in Honolulu, and offers vibrant communities and historic buildings and galleries. With the red line bus, you can visit Chinatown, the State Capitol, and many other cultural spots. The Honolulu Museum of Art, with its comprehensive collections of fine art objects, is paradise for any art lover. If you stay at the Aston at The Executive Centre Hotel, you can simply walk to the Hawaii State Art Museum and the Hawaii Theater.
If you want to explore nature on a budget, you can catch the blue line bus to see the magnificent white sand beaches and pointed cliffs which stretch along the southeastern coast. The total trip takes a little over 2 hours with a 5-minute photo stop. The most iconic natural location in Honolulu is the Diamond Head Crater. It's a volcanic cone with the highest altitude in Honolulu. The green line bus will take you there as well as to the Honolulu Zoo and the Waikiki Aquarium.
One of Hawaii's popular attractions is its gorgeous white-sand beaches. The good news is that all the beaches in Honolulu are free to the public, so you can go jogging or exercise without spending a dime. For those who love to bike, there are several notable bike rental vendors that offer reasonable rental cost. Hiking at Diamond Head is also a great and inexpensive way to experience the island. Bring suitable sport shoes and plenty of water, then get ready to burn some calories while enjoying the amazing views of the island.
Your journey is not over until you explore the culinary side of the city. Throughout the city, plenty of colorful food trucks are ready to serve you with mouth-watering quick bites such as tacos and burger for less than $10 a person. Other things that can boost your Honolulu experience are the discount shopping areas and main attractions. Try to find discounts such as AAA, military, or senior citizen discounts. Honolulu Power Pass is also a very useful way to score big savings of up to 50 percent and to enjoy many recreational places within the city.

Philippe Adamov was born as Philippe Adamoff in London, UK, but he eventually settled in France. He studied briefly at the École Estienne art school and then found employment with Studios René Laloux in Angers, where he worked as an apprentice decorator on the animated film 'Gandahar'. After a promising start as a science fiction illustrator in Paris, Adamov found his way to comics with the fairy tale-like 'Seule au Monde', a comic scripted by Xavier Séguin and published in Okapi in 1983.
Les Eaux de Mortelune
Soon he made his name with the samurai series 'Le Vent des Dieux', that was written by Patrick Cothias and published in Vécu from 1985. After five episodes, he handed over the artwork to Thierry Gioux. Also with Cothias, he conceived 'Les Eaux de Mortelune', a dynamic science fiction story set amidst the ruins of a post-apocalyptic Paris, that was published by Glénat between 1986 and 2000.
Le Vent des Dieux
Between 1993 and 1997, he made the science fiction trilogy 'Dayak' for the publishing house Glénat, for which he did both scenario and artwork. For the same publisher, he launched 'L'Impératrice Rouge' with writer Jean Dufaux, another post-apocalyptic series, that was inspired by the movie by Josef von Sternberg. It ran from 1999 to 2003. Adamov moved to publisher Albin Michel in 2004 for the creation of 'La Malédiction de Zener', which he created with Jean-Christophe Grangé until 2009. He returned to Glénat in 2012 to create his next project with Jean Dufaux, the sci-fi series 'Dakota'.

OneForYou needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 246 designs submitted by 68 freelance designers.
One For You
- A property development company, developing quality residential homes in Singapore
- We are launching a new concept for our business in 2011, creating unique homes to suit specific personalities, allowing our home buyers to stand out from the crowd, and live their lives according to their passions.
- In the development of all homes, we focus on comfort, lifestyle and practicality.
- A young group of people, with youthful management and leaders
- A group and company with 60 years of heritage in this industry
- Of western origin, but with strong asian roots and influences
- Brave, passionate, proactive, approachable and practical
- We can all see that with modernisation, people's personalities are becoming increasingly defined by the products and brands around them, from the phone they use (iPhone, Blackberry), to the car they drive (BMW, Audi, Lexus), the clothes they wear and the shoes on their feet (Nike, Jimmy Choo). However, people are not yet looking at how their homes reflect on their personalities and their way of life, particularly in Asia. This is the next step
- We like the personal relationship we develop with the people who buy our homes.
- We are mindful that investments in our homes are not just financial, but emotional
Our customers will typically be:
- 25 - 60 years of age;
- Living in the house themselves (and not purchase the property solely for investment);
- Asian;
- Well educated;
- In a mid- to high- income bracket
- Self assured; and
- Passionate.
ONE FOR YOU will focus on defining a new market, developing homes to suit distinct personalities. Each one of our projects will focus on targeting a specific audience (e.g. Young families, the environmentally concerned / conscious, nature lovers, bachelors / young professionals, traditional asians etc etc). The design of our homes will therefore be more targeted to suit these personalities. Unlike other developers, we will be BRAVE enough to focus our home designs to a smaller and more targeted audience, delivering a quality that ensures that this smaller target audience will hold a greater demand for what we create for them.
Our customers will be people who are looking for something unique, usually those who are opinionated, strong minded and have passion (in their work, their family, in travel, in entertaining, in their personal life etc).
We are looking for a new logo to suit our new company name and brand: "One For You"
We will use this logo on all collaterals (namecards, letterheads, envelopes, signposts, construction hoarding boards, websites, brochures and other collaterals), and it will be used on the launch of all our projects.
I have an initial preference for logo designs which use a white / transparent background, due to its easier use, but am open to other designs as long as a white-background version is also given.
I am open to use of colours and designs, but want to convey the feeling of personalisation and personal touch as well as professionalism.
I am open to either an asian or western (or mixed) influence in design.
Find out how a design contest works or learn more about our logo design services.

Customer Testimonials
Hello Team EpoxyMaster, This has definitely been a very memorable experience. The process was at times very tedious and messy. I wouldn't do it again but I am very glad I did it this one time. The finished product looks great in my garage gym and I have gotten rave reviews. I decided to do two coats of Orange for my basecoat and I then added a coat of the Metallic Pearl Effect epoxy in Copper to give it some accent. Thank you for your amazing customer service and in guiding me through this project. Now I can get to work in my shiny new gym. Thank you!
- Tamara Austin
"Hello EpoxyMaster, I bought your products after helping my son-in-law with his garage and seeing how well it held up over a few years time. I added a new garage to my home and wanted the same look. I also purchased enough material to redo my existing garage as well. I am very pleased with your products and have gotten many positive compliments on the outcome of my garage. Thanks."
- Jeff Cox
"Hello EpoxyMaster team, Our project went very well and the tech support was very helpful with providing installation tips. We decided to do our entire office using the Metallic Pearl Effect Epoxy system in a beautiful Bronze Caffé mix over a Beige Basecoat. Once the second coat of metallic epoxy dried we applied your EPOXYARMOR High Performance Clear Top Coat for added protection. We couldn't be more pleased with the transformation. We are definately going to using your very easy to use products in the future."
- Walter Resendes
"Hi there everyone, I wanted to show you what I have accomplished with my brand new kitchen concrete countertops! I applied two coats of your Countertop Epoxy in the Beige color and on the second coat of Beige I applied a Dark Silver Metallic Pearl Effect color as my vein design and it came out perfect. Once the second coat dried I applied your EPOXYARMOR High Performance Clear Top Coat for added protection. I couldn't be more pleased with the results. Not only do I have very strong concrete counters, but they look equally amazing using your very easy to use products. They look and feel like marble for a fraction of the cost. Thank you for the great customer service and making me feel so comfortable in doing this all on my own."
- Cathleen Mccallion
"Hello EpoxyMaster, I wanted to let you know that I have completed my initial phase of my kitchen remodeling project by applying two coats of your Countertop Epoxy product. I have to say that I love the way it turned out. I did an initial coat of the Black color as my basecoat with a second application of a beautiful Platinum Metallic Pearl Effect color. Being a first time applicator of this product, I must say it was very easy to apply and the shine is just amazing. My old formica countertops now look better than granite or marble and I saved thousands. I will definitely be using more of this product for future projects I'm planning. Thank you again for your great customer service and wonderful products."
- Deanne Clarke
"Hello EpoxyMaster, I just completed applying your Tan color epoxy floor coating kit to my garage floor. It looks "Great" and best of all I saved myself over $1,000.00 in doing the work myself. This is definitely a great product and sales support to go with it. I would highly recommend your product to all my friends in the Villages, Florida. Thank you and please see the photos I have attached."
- Ron Demers
"Hey guys, I wanted to show you my newly completed garage floor project using your epoxy product. I absolutely love it and I couldn't be happier with the results. I chose a beautiful Black color with a very custom blend of Mica Metallic Silver/White/Granite color decorative fleck pattern and it really sets everything off nicely. To protect everything I applied your EPOXYARMOR High Performance Clear Top Coat for added protection and it made it even more shinier. The garage is easy to keep clean now and there is so much more light reflectivity in there regardless that the color is darker. I want to thank your staff for guiding me through this entire application process and I will definitely be doing this to all my future concrete projects."
- Brian Eckel
"Hello Marc and EpoxyMaster staff, I hope this testimonial will find you very well. You can see in the photos that I have supplied to you of how great of a look your product has achieved for my large garage space. I chose to use the Dark Gray color with a medium broadcast of the decorative fleck, as well as sealing the entire floor with the very easy to use EPOXYARMOR High Performance Clear Top Coat. The shine is incredible and I truly appreciate your patience and your incredible knowledge in helping me complete this large project. I will be using your products not only for my home, but for my business as well. Keep up the excellent work."
- Hamdey Altayyeb
"Hello EpoxyMaster team, I just completed my garage floor project with your awesome product. We closely followed your advice and thoroughly prepped the floor (used a DIAMABRUSH concrete grinder from Home Depot). Tony on the customer service team is terrific. At some points during the process we called him multiple times per day and he was a wealth of information and a big help. Give him a raise! Below is a photo of the finished product."
- Neil McGuffog
"Dear EpoxyMaster staff, As promised I have sent you an image of our newly remodeled tropical themed spare bedroom in a brilliant True Blue metallic over a French Gray basecoat. I was a first timer using your product, and needless to say we were nervous and didn't think it would be as easy as in the video. It turned out better than our expectations!! Now we are planning to use the Metallic Pearl Effect Epoxy system on our 900 square feet great room floor! Thanks for making a great product and the support was great."
- Dale Asher
"Hey guys, I'm proud to say that I'm finally all done with my garage floor project! I wanted to personally thank you guys for all the help you gave me! The Dark Gray color that I chose matches everything perfectly. I love the way the floor has turned out and I can't wait to be able to walk on it. EpoxyMaster is a great company and they also provide great customer service throughout the entire process. I will definitely recommend you guys to all my friends and family."
- Ethan Samuel
"Hello there, Our project. From a glued wood floor to the finished project you are seeing now. Included a crowbar and hammer to get up the wood flooring. Overall the hardest work was with the prep work. Putting the epoxy down was easy."
- Cena Rich
"Hi there EpoxyMaster, Being a first timer at installing your products I must say it was a little challenging at first feeling under the gun to get everything spread out before it hardened. I have to say I am extremely happy with the final results. I chose the Dark Gray color with a custom blend of your decorative fleck, followed by an application of your EPOXYARMOR High Performance Clear Top Coat. My garage now looks and feels like a showroom/man cave. I think the next time for my wife's garage I will mix smaller amounts so as not to feel as rushed. Thank you for providing excellent support and great products."
- Doug Gasch
"Hello EpoxyMaster team, I am very pleased to say that we have finally completed our new office project using your Metallic Pearl Effect Epoxy system in a Platinum over a Black basecoat and sealing the entire area with your EPOXYARMOR High Performance Clear Top Coat. We occupy over 15,000 square feet of manufacturing, warehouse and office space and we wanted something that really stood out and was very easy to keep clean. Pictures do not do it justice. We couldn't be more happier with not only your products, but the amount of professionalism and the incredible customer service you provide. We will definitely be using your company for any of our future flooring needs."
- Jason Tretter
"Hello everyone, As promised I have attached a set of photos of our newly remodeled bathroom showing the floor from different angles of the camera. My wife Lynn helped me tremendously and did as much, if not more of the work than I did. For those of you who are wondering we put a Metallic Pearl Effect Epoxy system in a Caffé/Bronze mix over a Black basecoat and it all went over the top of OSB plywood. We absolutely love the way it turned out. Thank you for making such great quality products and assisting us step by step through this great labor of love."
- Larry Williams
"Tony and EpoxyMaster Staff, Per our discussion here is a picture of my recent project I have completed. I chose a classic Light Gray color with a light application of the decorative fleck. The floor came out great and I couldn't be more happier with the results. Thanks for all your assistance and in helping me understand the entire process from start to finish. Your customer service is by far the best I've ever experienced."
- Saul Swartout
"Hello EpoxyMaster staff! We have finally completed our race themed walkout basement project and we couldn't be more happier with the results. I have attached a few photos of my project using the Metallic Pearl Effect Epoxy system in a French Gray basecoat with a Silver White/Platinum Metallic mix. As you can see, the results speak for themselves. The reflection is incredible and I get compliments from everyone who sees it. Thank you for providing an amazing product as well as your guidance throughout the entire application process. I plan on using EpoxyMaster products on any and all future projects that I have."
- Keith Roy
"Hey guys, I have used your products on a few of my garage projects and I must say I am very pleased with the results. My first project was a Denver Bronco themed garage. It was done in a special order Orange color and I used around 12lbs of custom decorative fleck, and I sealed it all with the EPOXYARMOR High Performance Clear Top Coat. It turned out beautiful. Another garage was done with EpoxyMaster's products using the French Gray color with custom decorative fleck as well. Easy to use and looks great!"
- David Goshom
"Hello EpoxyMaster, Just got done with my basement floor. We did a Caffé/Bronze Metallic Pearl Effect Epoxy system with a Beige Basecoat with the EPOXYARMOR High Performance Clear Top Coat. It turned out so great! Thank you for all your assistance and taking the time to making sure we had everything we needed to achieve the floor we've always wanted."
- Erik Bergeson
"Dear staff, I have just finished my EpoxyMaster garage floor and I have to say I absolutely love it. A great product and fantastic customer service!! If some of you are wondering, the answer is yes I did it all by myself. It is very easy to do and don't be afraid to tackle a project like this yourself. The results will speak for themselves. I look forward to recommending your products to everyone I know."
- Jerry Thurmes
"Hello staff! I would like to thank you EpoxyMaster for all of your expertise and quality products. I have finally completed my garage floor epoxy job recently and I am very happy with the results! I have attached my "Show Off Your Epoxy" contest photo for everyone to see. Again thank you and I will highly recommend you."
- Lee Grant
"Hello Team EpoxyMaster, I must say that I absolutely love their product. Their customer service and technical support is by far the best there is. For my project I chose to do the Metallic Pearl Effect Epoxy in a Bronze Caffé mix over a Beige Basecoat. I have attached a photo of the office we just completed."
- Mike Schwartzbauer
"Hello Team EpoxyMaster, I cannot begin to tell you how many friends and neighbors have commented on my new floor. First of all, my neighbors were all asking me why all the contents of my garage were out on the driveway for almost a week. Then, once they saw the results they were amazed. They are asking " When are you going to do my home??" Thank you again for your great customer service and your quality products."
- Dave Lane
"Hello Team EpoxyMaster! Here are a few pictures of the solid Brick Red color with added Metallic Pearl Effect Platinum epoxy swirls. I am very happy with how it turned out. Thanks for all your help and I can't wait till the next time I can use your product so I can perfect the few minor mistakes I've made."
- Lynden Freeman
"Hey guys. I needed an opportunity to brag to someone about the results! The garage is part of our new home we purchased in August and the garage floor just didn't look like a nice garage should. That has all changed now! Our family and friends are so impressed they are considering doing the same thing."
- Curtis Warrick
"Hello Team EpoxyMaster. I just wanted to say thank you! We're absolutely thrilled with our new basement floor!! I've attached some pictures for those who might like to see the outcome."
- Travis Drouin
"Hello EpoxyMaster staff! I have just finished my 576 square foot garage flooring project here in Michigan and I must say it went extremely well. I would like to thank you for all of your assistance in the preparation and application of my epoxy and top coat."
- Tadd McMichael
"Hello Team EpoxyMaster! Below are the last couple epoxy projects I have done using EpoxyMaster. I absolutely love the product."
- Johnathan Lewis
"We did a great deal of research on products and companies before choosing EpoxyMaster for our garage floor. The primary reason for our decision to go with EpoxyMaster was the positive customer support reviews versus the negatives for the competition. We did test each out with "i need advice" phone calls before purchasing. Let me just say the negative reviews of the competition were very accurate. Turns out we couldn't be more satisfied with the service, enthusiasm, encouragement, expertise and helpfulness from the EpoxyMaster staff. Super fast delivery was incredibly appreciated, too! Thank you for always answering our calls and questions so quickly and providing the excellent support that you did regardless of the time or day. You're awesome. I really appreciate you not making me feel like an idiot with my questions you've no doubt heard a hundred times. Short story...We highly recommend EpoxyMaster and their products."
- Gregory Black
"Hi EpoxyMaster! I finished the second application of epoxy and the matte satin finish EPOXYARMOR High Performance Top Coat. I appreciate the phone calls I had with you regarding my floor. The floor looks amazing!"
- Brian Honan
"Hi guys. I wanted to send you a few pictures of my project. I used your product on my family room floor and into a laundry and bathroom. The Metallic Pearl Effect is really nice and the stuff went on smoothly."
- William Wesley
"Hello Team EpoxyMaster! I do apologize for not sending these photos of my project sooner, but here's a few. The floor turned out absolutely fantastic."
- Steve Howard
"Hey guys, just wanted to send a couple pics of our finished floor and let you know that your product and kit worked great. We are very pleased with the outcome."
- David Gilbert
"Thank you taking the time to answer all my questions on the EpoxyMaster floor coating. My wife and I followed your instructions and watched your video. It seemed simple, so we thought we give it a try. The first day was the hardest removing all my items from the garage. Wow, we did not think I had so much stuff. We proceeded to wash and clean my floor as instructed. The next day the floor was dry and ready for the epoxy application. It honestly was as simple to do as your video explains. If two retired people can do it, anyone can. My wife and I are so proud of the work we did in such a short time. Everything is clean, organized and is like a showroom. Our neighbors even asked what company we used. I have shared my pics to my friends and they too will be purchasing EpoxyMaster."
- Mike Nuzzolese
"Team EpoxyMaster - wanted to say up front THANKS!!! We put down 1200 square feet of the Metallic Pearl Effect in a Bronze Caffé mix over a Beige Basecoat and it turned out AWESOME! I've attached some pictures...I only have one "before" picture, sorry I got ahead of myself. There are plenty of after pictures. I've installed the baseboards and it looks even better."
- Chris Deanes
"Just wanted to drop you guys at EpoxyMaster a message and let you know how satisfied I am with your overall service and product. The quality of service I received was far better than I could have imagined, from placing my order early so I got it on time, to making sure I got it on the day that was discussed."
- Piotr Januszewski
"We bought the 3-Gallon Epoxy Kit - Dark Gray, EPOXYARMOR High Gloss Clear Top Coat and Decorative Fleck. It is amazing! I have only had it for two months so far, but have had countless compliments! You can just tell it is quality. I have a new build, so preparation was easy but still important."

A disclosure scheme which allows men and women to ask police about a partner's violent past is to be extended nationwide following a successful trial.
First Minister Nicola Sturgeon today announced the initiative, dubbed Clare's Law, would be rolled out across the country after a six-month trial in Aberdeen and Ayrshire.
There is no excuse or place for domestic abuse in ScotlandNicola Sturgeon
The scheme encourages people to request details of criminal convictions from police if they have concerns about being in an abusive relationship.
It follows the success of a disclosure scheme already adopted in England and known as Clare's Law after 36-year-old Clare Wood, who was murdered in Salford, Greater Manchester in 2009 by a man she had met on Facebook.
During the Scottish pilot, 59 applications were made for information, leading to 22 disclosures being made.
Ms Sturgeon said: "There is no excuse or place for domestic abuse in Scotland and we need to do all we can to ensure we protect people from what is an abhorrent crime.
"I announced earlier this year new funding of £20 million over the next three years to step up our work to tackle violence against women. We are working in partnership to combat domestic abuse and we see Police Scotland's Disclosure Scheme for Domestic Abuse as a vital step forwards.
"The victims of this unacceptable behaviour are predominantly female but males are also targeted; we must make sure that everyone is offered protection and information which reduces the risk of harm. I firmly believe that people who have concerns that their partner may have a history of domestic abuse should be able to find out."
The first minister was joined at an event in Glasgow by Michael Brown, whose daughter Clare lends her name to the scheme.
Clare's Law, which came into force in England and Wales in March last year, followed the death of 36-year-old Miss Wood, who was strangled and set on fire by her ex-boyfriend George Appleton.
Mother-of-one Miss Wood met Appleton on Facebook, unaware of his history of violence against women, including repeated harassment, threats and the kidnapping at knifepoint of one of his ex-girlfriends.
Under the Scottish pilot, anyone with concerns was encouraged to fill out an online form for information.
The scheme is split between the Right to Ask and the Power to Tell, which allows the authorities to warn someone they believe to be at risk.
Chief Constable Sir Stephen House, said: "Domestic abuse impacts on all our communities even though it often takes place behind closed doors. We will not tolerate domestic abuse. We will tackle it and we will remove those who present the risk because we want to prevent it destroying the lives of its victims and those children who too often witness this abuse.
"By expanding this scheme, there is the potential to protect hundreds of people and to stop them become the victims of abusers, either directly or indirectly.
"And it is a clear signal to those who would abuse others that they cannot hide and their abusive history will be disclosed if it means protecting others."
Linda Rodgers, chief executive of Edinburgh Women's Aid, added: "More than 2,000 women used Edinburgh Women's Aid services last year. We welcome anything that makes women safer and we look forward to working with our partners in police and government towards a Scotland where everyone, no matter what their community, can live without fear."

Jeep Wrangler Axle Wrangling - Part 3
High Pinion Dana 60 Front
In the world of front axle upgrades, the reverse-rotation (aka "high- pinion") Dana 60 differential is by far the most coveted. The attraction of any high-pinion front axle is that the pinion gear runs the stronger drive-side ring gear. Compared to a low-pinion Dana 60 front differential that rides on the weaker coast side of the ring gear, the high-pinion 60 is more reliable and robust. Given that the pinion is placed above the centerline of the axletubes, the high-pinion design also aids in protecting the front driveline. Using a 9.75-inch ring gear, the Dana 60 front differential is more than capable of handling high-horsepower demands and extremely large tires.
Last month, we showed you the ins and outs of our East Coast Gear Supply semi-float Dana 60 rear that we placed under our '97 Jeep Wrangler TJ. In this installment, we are moving up front with an ECGS high-pinion 60 front that will match the durability of what we have out back. As was the case with our rear, we opted for a custom-width East Coast Gear Supply TJ-series Dana 60 axle. While ECGS offers the TJ-series high-pinion front 60 in a bolt-in configuration with stock axle brackets, our V-8-powered Wrangler was far from OE spec.
In fact, our front suspension had a tremendous amount of custom work done to it, so our install was a bit more complex than if we had an off-the-shelf kit. Despite the challenges, our heavily modified Wrangler presented, East Coast Gear Supply was able to complete the install with relative ease at its Raleigh, North Carolina, headquarters. Gathered here are highlights from the front axle build, and the options and upgrades we sprung for.
1. Given that East Coast Gear Supply starts with a used '99-'04 Ford Super Duty high-pinion Dana 60, it needs to be trimmed down to fit under a Jeep Wrangler TJ. This narrowing process is done by removing the passenger-side C and trimming the axletube down to the desired length. In our case, we opted for a 65-inch WMS. A 63½-inch option is also available.
2. Welding the original C back to the axletube is a slow process that requires pre-heating the knuckle. For this, ECGS uses an oxyacetylene torch and infrared thermometer.
3. To ensure that the axle fits easily under a '97-'06 Jeep Wrangler TJ application, the axle is placed into a welding jig. Once the caster is set between five and seven degrees, the ¼-inch TJ bracket set is welded to the axle.
4. A unique aspect to the ECGS 60 is the high-clearance lower control arm brackets. These brackets not only raise the lower control arm mounting points, but tie into the front side of the axle mount for increased strength. Since our Jeep was running coilovers, we left off the coil buckets and shock tabs that come standard with the kit.
5. For many at-home axle builders, the differential casting is the largest fabrication hurdle to overcome. Using a specific MIG wire that is engineered for welding to cast, ECGS tackles the welding challenge the best way possible. In addition to welding to the housing, a ½-inch-thick steel truss is bolted to the differential housing. For upper control arm mounts, beefy and rebuildable Johnny Joints are used.
6. To match our rear 60, we went with the brute strength and reliability of a 5.13:1 Yukon gearset. Secured to the 9.75-inch ring gear is a Detroit Locker from Eaton. For our trail rig, the Detroit Locker makes the most sense, as the rugged and simple automatic locker doesn't require any additional lines or parts.
7. East Coast Gear Supply offers a couple of steering options for its front 60. We opted for the crossover setup—it fits the passenger side with a high-steer arm that bolts to a modified Super Duty knuckle. We used ARP studs in our arm, but Allen-head bolts are standard. New ball joints are also standard with every front 60.
8. While 35-spline 4340 chromoly inner axleshafts come standard with the axle, we upgraded our front with optional 35-spline 4340 chromoly outers as well. To match the strength of our heavyweight shafts, we sourced a set of Yukon 4340 chromoly Superjoints. The Yukon Superjoints have induction-hardened 4140 chromoly caps, along with a 4340 cross. For our tire range of 37 to 40 inches, the shafts and U-joints are nearly bulletproof.
9. You can choose from a few bolt patterns, but we had our unitbearings machined for a 5-on-5½ pattern. Although not serviceable, the load-carrying capacity is more than double that of the Wrangler's notoriously problematic stock unitbearings.
10. Unlike a conventional unitbearing, these allow the axleshaft to be disengaged via a selectable hub. Since we upgraded from the stock 30-spline outers, we outfitted the unitbearings with Hardcore lockouts from Yukon. Featuring chromoly internals, the 35-spline, low-profile hubs are built with off-road use and abuse in mind. Where a conventional hub would default to an unlock position when broken, the Yukon hubs actually default to the locked position, so you're not stuck out on the trail.
11. A major braking upgrade comes by way of dual-piston calipers. While the rotors are custom for this application, the calipers and pads are easily sourced F-250 parts.
12. The new length and offset of the differential housing required us to source a new front driveline. We opted to get our custom 'shaft built by Oliver's Custom Drive Shaft in Winston-Salem, North Carolina. Fitted with a 1310 CV-style yoke at the transfer case and 1310 U-joint at the diff, the heavy-duty shaft provides plenty of range for our 12-inch-travel front suspension.
13. Since we changed over from the Jeep's 5-on-4½ to a 5-on-5½-inch bolt pattern, we needed new wheels. We've had great luck with our 17-inch ATX Slab beadlocks in the past, and the 3½-inch backspacing provided the optimal amount of offset needed to clear our steering and suspension components.

About this blog…
"This blog is like a fusion of the Baroque 'salon' with its well-tuned harpsichord around which polite society gathered for entertainment and edification and, on the other hand, a Wild West "saloon" with its out-of-tune piano and swinging doors, where everyone has a gun and something to say. Nevertheless, we try to point our discussions back to what it is to be Catholic in this increasingly difficult age, to love God, and how to get to heaven." – Fr. Z

As for Latin…
"But if, in any layman who is indeed imbued with literature, ignorance of the Latin language, which we can truly call the 'catholic' language, indicates a certain sluggishness in his love toward the Church, how much more fitting it is that each and every cleric should be adequately practiced and skilled in that language!" - Pius XI
"Let us realize that this remark of Cicero (Brutus 37, 140) can be in a certain way referred to [young lay people]: 'It is not so much a matter of distinction to know Latin as it is disgraceful not to know it.'" - St. John Paul II
