Use Lotus Fresh to keep your water clear and clean
With the revolutionary Lotus Fresh water care concept you will need no further additives in future to keep your water clear and clean
What is Lotus Fresh ?
Lotus Fresh is the innovation with which keeps the water in your hot tub clear and clean - free of chlorine.
Lotus Fresh not only cleans the water, it reliably removes excess lime, anaerobic bacteria, Legionella and other foreign substances.
Lotus Fresh makes your whirlpool water particularly soft and your skin will be less irritated. Skin irritation is now a thing of the past. Your skin will no longer dry out and will retain its natural feel.
Lotus Fresh keeps the technical parts of your hot tub scale free, thus considerably prolonging the service life and preventing expensive repairs to scaled pumps and corroded heating elements.
The cushion and insulating cover of your spa will also enjoy a longer service life because they are not longer exposed to aggressive vapours from disinfectant.ORDER / ENQUIRE NOW
Would you like your hot tub water to last 12 months
Instead of replacing your hot tub water every two to four months (minimum) you can use the water with Lotus Fresh for at least 12 months, so protecting the environment and conserving both energy and money at the same time
The Hot Tub Challenges
Hot tub water is contaminated in a number of different ways...
The warm water and rich supply of nutrients, such as perspiration, flakes of skin, skin creams and hair, allow bacteria and germs to rapidly increase in numbers.
The filters can only remove larger contaminants - the microscopically small contaminants, bacteria and germs, on the other hand, are not trapped by the filters.
Disinfectants such as chlorine, bromine and active oxygen are generally added to keep the water clean, but the basic mode of action of these agents is oxidation to kill germs and bacteria. Unfortunately this oxidation also causes serious harm to the water - in effect the water "dies" and loses its natural ability to clean itself.
A further problem is the formation of bacteria colonies in the pipework: the "biofilm".
Although disinfectants kill off individual bacteria, the biofilm is practically immune to disinfectants. In order to keep the biofilm under control the quantities of disinfectant added become larger and larger...
The water becomes increasingly aggressive to the skin. It gradually loses more and more "stability" and finally threatens to "die" completely. That is why the water in your hot tub generally has to be replaced every two or three months.
It's a vicious circle, which Lotus Fresh will break.
How does Lotus Fresh function ?
Lotus Fresh keeps the water "stable" and "alive". Thanks to an innovative active formula, and it can differentiate between water molecules and foreign matter.
Everything that is not water is encapsulated.
The encapsulated contaminants are effectively and safely filtered out.
For this reason it is particularly important to thoroughly clean the filters at regular intervals.
Not only contaminants, but also substances dissolved in the water such as calcium, iron, copper and manganese are attacked by Lotus Fresh. The active formula partially changes the molecular structure of these substances before they are encapsulated and then filtered out or precipiated.
It's like having spring water in your hot tub
The water takes on a quality similar to spring water. It is crystal-clear and free of odour
Questions and answers
- How often do I have to change the water in my hot tub ?
With Lotus Fresh it is no longer necessary to drain precious heated water every three to four months and to refill your hot tub. You can save yourself this work and costs in future.
You can leave the water in your hot tub for at least a year or even longer.
- I have refilled the whirlpool with fresh water and added Lotus Fresh. The water has turned milky. What is that ?
This reaction is normal. Lotus Fresh has started to work and has encapsulated contaminants in the water. That is what causes this discolouration. This occurs particularly frequently and intensively with hot tubs that have been in operation for some time. In such cases, biofilm has formed in pipework. Lotus Fresh is now dissolving this biofilm.
Please clean the filters the next day and increase the filter running time.
The cloudiness normally disappears by the next day. In particularly severe cases, the cloudiness of the water can last up to three days.
- Do I need an ozonator for Lotus Fresh to function ?
Although the ozonator is a very good way of helping disinfect the water, you don´t need an ozonator for Lotus Fresh to work efficiently.
Lotus Fresh is powerful enough to keep the water clean without the assistance of other disinfectants.
- Do I have to set the pH value when using Lotus Fresh ?
Lotus Fresh does not change the pH Value. It also works with any pH value. However, there may be natural fluctuations in the pH Value that can be corrected using appropriate agents.
- I have added Lotus Fresh and now a powdery white coating has formed. What is it ?
This coating is excess calcium that has been converted and precipitated by Lotus Fresh. This may reoccur in the case of very hard water.
You can simply wipe away this coating with a cloth. Increase the filter run-time to filter out the calcium.
- I use Lotus Fresh and nevertheless my water smells. Why is that ?
In 99% of cases it is the hot tub surround and the insulating cover that smell, not the water. Moisture becomes trapped between the two. This moisture is not cleaned and starts to stagnate. This causes the smell. It is also possible that the filters were not cleaned properly, or they have been in operation for more than a week. This can also lead to smell.
Clean the hot tub surround and the insulating cover regularly using a disinfectant. In a few cases it is possible that an inadequate amount of Lotus Fresh was added. Increase the dosage for a short time and make sure that the dosing and filter cleaning are carried out regularly.
- After the use of Lotus Fresh, the filters are dark brown. What is that, and what can I do ?
Filters can frequently turn brown when Lotus Fresh reacts with freshly added water. The brown discolouration can come from excess calcium or from metals dissolved in the water, such as iron, copper manganese.
Place the filters in cleaning solution overnight. Next day, rinse the filters thoroughly and then leave them overnight in chlorine solution.The filters will be bleached as a result and will re-gain their white colour.
- I have been using Lotus Fresh for around two months. A slimy layer has formed in the water around the edge of the hot tub. What is that, and what can I do ?
This is biofilm. If you have an older hot tub that has already been treated using another disinfectant you will have biofilm in the pipework. Biofilm is a bacterial colony that is resistant to disinfectant. Lotus Fresh slowly but surely destroys this colony. Shortly before final destruction, the biofilm comes away from the pipework, enters the hot tub space and is deposited on the walls. It sometimes also occures in new hot tubs due to residual water in the pipework from factory-filling for test purposes.
Double the quantity of Lotus Fresh. This layer should disappear within two days at the latest. You can also carry out a shock chlorination using inorganic chlorine.
- How do I clean my filters correctly ?
It is important to place the filters for 12 hours in a filter cleaning solution. Filter cleaning loosens grease and oil from the filter. Then the filter should once again be placed in a chlorine solution and subsequently rinsed thoroughly. The chlorine oxidizes any remaining contaminants and ensures that the filter does not become a breeding ground for bacteria and subsequently start to smell. Poorly cleaned filters are frequently responsible for unpleasant smelling water.
In standard use, clean these filters at least every 2 weeks.
The filters have to be cleaned thoroughly at regular intervals so that the dirt particles in the filters every day during the first week using a garden hose. In the first two weeks after an initial filling, heavy deposits may form in the filters.
- Does Lotus Fresh smell ?
Lotus Fresh has a very slight smell of lemons - gone are the days when the water, your skin and even your towels and bathrobes smelt of chlorine.
- Can I combine Lotus Fresh with other cleaning agents ?
You can not combine Lotus Fresh with other cleaning agents - and why would you want to :-)
Lotus Fresh will identify every other agent in the water as a foreign substance and will encapsulate it. This process will also use up the Lotus Fresh. In these respects, the use of other cleaning agents is also counter productive.
If you have dropped the infamous glass of wine in the hot tub and you want to clear the water really quickly, you can carry out a shock chlorination using four tablespoons of inorganic 70% calcium hypochlorite granules. Once the chlorine has degraded after two to three days, you can continue with the use of Lotus Fresh.
You can also set the pH value using appropriate agents.
- Can I add essential bath oils as a perfume additive to Lotus Fresh ?
The bath oils can be used if they are made from natural materials and without emulsifiers and preservatives. Lotus Fresh will treat other perfuming substances as "contaminants" and encapsulate them.
The average annual requirement is approximately 3 bottlesORDER / ENQUIRE NOW

Three Random Satsangs
ShiningWorld Reader
Ignorance Is No Match for Self-Knowledge
Simon: Hello, Sundari, I am in need of assistance, if you wouldn't mind, or pass this on to someone who can assist. My back story is that I was IT for three minutes in 2004 but since have been NOT IT and it's frustrating me immensely. Progress has been made but there is a great deal of resistance to realization somewhere. Just last week I dreamt that it was about to happen but for the fear of my identity being destroyed that rose at that moment. Rupert Spira holds satsangs in the UK where I live; should I go even when it costs me a considerable amount of money? I'm sort of broke right now. For the record, I have read all of James' book How to Achieve Enlightenment as well as Isaiah Sanders' website, and have been plugging away for years at this to no avail. What am I missing?
~ Regards, Simon
Sundari: Hello, Simon. You've got the wrong idea about moksa – IT is not an experience or something that "happens" to you. There is nothing to gain for the seeker of moksa. Ignorance of your true nature is something you lose and self-knowledge is not a gain because you already are IT, whether you know it or not.
What you are looking for is the one that knows you are IT and the one that thinks he has lost IT. You are missing the one who knows that Simon thinks he's an ignoramus. ☺
Save your money. Rupert is a nice man and a good teacher, but no one can give you what you are looking for, because you ARE what you are looking for – and you have all the tools you are ever going to need at your disposal already. Rupert is not going to tell you something you don't already know or have access to through ShiningWorld, which is one of the purest channels for Vedanta you are ever going to find. Make sure you read all the e-satsangs on the website: we have just posted over 500 pages of new ones and some of our exchanges are on my posting. Watch James' videos on YouTube, there are many hours of free videos available there.
You are looking for the wrong thing. The one that is looking needs to dropped – the doer. But the doer cannot drop the doer, because the one who does the dropping needs to be dropped. Only self-knowledge can negate the doer and render the vasanas non-binding.
Take a stand in awareness as awareness: "I am whole and complete, non-dual, actionless, ever-present, ordinary, unlimited and unchanging awareness," and when the thought that you are not IT pops up (which it will), reaffirm the opposite thought again and again. Make this a mantra, your spiritual practice. Ignorance is very tenacious and hardwired, but it is no match for self-knowledge.
~ Much love to you, Sundari

The Influence of Deep, Hidden Resources and Constraints on Children's Play
The Influence of the Past on the Present Play Activity of Children
To conduct researches, devoted to the play activity, is both interesting and challenging task because you try to perceive the elements of an 'invisible social structure' (Komarovsky, cited by Sztompka, 2004: 256), which are interconnected with this activity.
I want to emphasise the central element (both resource and constraint), which, according to my opinion, defines the consideration of children's play activity. It is the prevailing attitude toward children. The prevailing attitude, which exists in society, is one of the main factors of the influence on the perception of any activity of children. But the following allocation: 1.'the absence of childhood', 2. 'the children as the problems', 3.'the reproductive approach to the childhood', 4.'children as active social actors', - is relative because may exist in different societies and historical times (Sibireva, 2015). Moreover, I will include in the analyses some conceptions of socialisation which can help to study the children's play activity from the point of view of sociology.
First of all, I need to remind that the childhood was not an independent category for a long time. According to the Philippe Aries's conception (1962), the child was considered as a small adult, and the analyses of the different components of a sociocultural reality proved this fact. In the pictures, the represented children were similar to the 'small men and women' because their images contained the reduced proportions of the bodies of the adult persons. Psychological development of the child was also represented from this point of view: the process of growing was considered as the quantitative increase of the qualities which were typical for the child from the birth. Thus, the children's play was something which did not require attention; even the term 'play' had different meanings.
The famous pictures used now as the examples of the various forms of play and games can give some information.
In the picture of Pieter Bruegel "Children's games" (1560), there are 84 traditional national games in the city. However, the figures of people look like children only in their sizes. The central question is: "Do these games mean only games in a classical (common) sense?" The interpretations which I have met more often than the others are: the games in this picture have the meaning of the senselessness of a human life; the chosen plot is the comparison with the 'play of the God'.
|The source of the picture is here.
'Combining depictions of games and toys with mottos and texts that moralise about the behaviour of young and old alike, Dutch emblem books appear to offer a key to understanding the deeper meaning behind images of play. Individual games found in emblem books such as Jacob Cats's Silenus Alcibiabes (1618) and Pieter Roemer Visscher's Sinnepoppen (1614) have been matched with comparable motifs in Children's Games, with damning results: the boy blowing a bubble in the left foreground has been read as a vanitas symbol of the transience of life, while the games with hoops in the right foreground have been seen as representative of the futility of life's endeavor '(Orrock, 2012).
Certainly, there is a criticism of the Philippe Aries's conception. But if I addressed to the traditional societies (the differences between adults and children are being levelled too), I would describe the play and games as the vestiges of ritual and 'as the final stages in the process of decaying social institutions' (Swede Yrjo Hirn, cited by Unesco: 8).
One more example is the picture of Jean Siméon Chardin "Soap bubbles", 1733-1734. The interpretation is the main sense of the soap bubbles is "a fragile happiness". This picture reminds us the transience of our life.
The source of the picture is here.
All attributes of play, like toys, some actions, some repetitions, etc. are associated with the social institute of ritual.
According to my opinion, despite the fact of the long absence of childhood as the independent category, it is impossible to separate play and games from the children cardinally. Children as 'beings' are always present in every society.
In their play and games, the children keep the traditions, which adults have forgotten (Aries, 1962).
In their play and games, the children keep the traditions, which adults have forgotten (Aries, 1962).
The "sacral" elements (like in rituals) have remained in the modern games, the descriptions of which you will see below.
The protection components (corresponding words, the using of circles and the other actions to hide from the opponent, etc.), which are typical for the children's games such as tags, hide-and-seek, etc. are similar to the adult's activities which were used in the rituals to avoid 'the meeting with an evil spirit'.
When the children play the game 'Zombies' (one of the children is Zombie, others must prevent the meeting with this 'Zombie-child'), they interpret and reproduce one of the forms of the game 'a blind man's buff', the main sense of which is to avoid the meeting with the 'blind man', who means the death or the mystical sphere ("the dead person is searching the alive", "the blind man is searching the person who can see"). In the game 'Zombie' the children also want to hide from the 'dead', to avoid "infection" and the meeting with the mystical world.

These examples can prove the fact the games have an exclusive stability (Caillois, 2001): when empires and social institutes are disappearing, the games are remaining. Even in the modern games, it is impossible to avoid the 'echo of the past'.
When the existence of childhood and children is recognised, unfortunately, children are sometimes considered as the problems. The corresponding social and historical circumstances cause the anxiety and the fear of the future generation. For example, during the domination of puritan moral, it was considered that there is a necessity 'to battle' with children to socialise them correctly (to expel the 'devil essence' from them). I suppose the play activity of children was always difficult for the control. Because of it, play was condemned and forbidden.
But the desire to supervise the child was typical for people not only several centuries ago. The conception of a 'methodical socialisation' developed by Durkheim (cited by Filloux, 1993), the functionalism of Parsons (1951) (which had the greatest popularity in 1950's, in 1960's) had the similar idea: an 'asocial' child is full of primitive instincts, he or she is a dangerous force inside the society. Since the children 'threatened' the order of the society, socialisation was considered as the turning of the individual beings into the social beings, and the right direction of this process provided the 'survival of society'. Different historical circumstances (migrations, revolutions, and after war periods, etc.) resulted in the corresponding consideration of children's play: playgrounds, kindergartens were the places to control children, to institutionalise all their life, because the society is afraid of the future events, the main participants of which the children will be.
But did children want to follow all existing rules? "The days of disobedience", which are well known from the history, the wishes to play not only in the yards and on playgrounds are the real cases of the infringements of adult instructions by the children.
Modern adults do not refuse from the fear of children and their play completely either. Nowadays, the fear of children's play and games is explained by the computer and video games and the Internet. Some sociologists suggest the concept of a «dangerous child» (Wyness, 2006: 81) because when children use technologies, they can learn too much about violence, wars, economy, political problems, destroying borders between adulthood and childhood.The child is visible partly during his/her computer game, and there is a big invisible part of the participation of the child in these games: what does the child think when he/she is involved in the shooting game, what does the child feel during the moments of violence? To answer these questions, we must take into account, that the child can continue or destroy the plot of a computer game in his/her real play.
One more system of the attitudes toward children, which exists in different societies, in different historical times, is the reproductive theory of socialisation. Socialisation here is the process of repetitive reproduction of the particular members of society, the mechanism of management of a class inequality. Different families, children, etc. have access to various resources, to the support of the different social institutes, according to the prevailing class system. Play, games and toys also participate in the reproductive process. Various conditions, in which play exists, show to what resources the children have access. Good children's playgrounds are not provided in all districts of cities; not all children have an opportunity to visit the shopping centres or safe parks. The same facts concern toys: some children have a lot of dolls, toy automobiles, etc., while others make all toys from the improvised materials.
Let's consider the several historical and modern examples.
Example 1. The main aim of the pedagogy of John Locke (1968) was to bring up a 'gentleman and a 'businessman' who is useful to society. He recommended avoiding telling the children the stories about ghosts and goblins. According to the researchers, the given interdiction pursued specific purposes: Locke concerned that 'supernatural tales were the province of servants and the poor, and one of his main aims was to remove the children of the middle and upper classes from the influence of their social inferiors' (Grenby).
Exanple 2. For a long time in Russia, the game 'gorodki' (townlets) was considered as the game for the lowest classes. In the engravings of the 19th century, the players are represented as the 'muzhiks' - people of the lower class. But in the USSR the attitude to this game changed: 'gorodki' (townlets) became a proletarian game and oppositional to the "bourgeois" games, such as billiard or golf (The Moscow Regional Federation of Townlets Sport).
Example 3. One of the examples of the attempt to transform the reproductive approach into life is a doll Barbie.
To stop buying accessories for Barbie is impossible: it is necessary to get them because she must have the «house of dream», the prestigious car, the swimming pool, etc. The life of this doll is an infinite summer vacation and travel, free from school, family and financial problems (Cox, 1977). The offered image of the doll Barbie comprises certain components of a "magnificent" life, which includes the elements of a social stratification. There is somewhere a beautiful life, which the child has never seen, but can dream of it, because Barbie is the princess, the rich girl, with the ponies, with the sports equipment, etc. However, it is necessary to remember, that children can transform the 'rich' image of the doll into the poor Cinderella, the engineer, the housewife, the mother of a big family with a lot of children.
So, is it possible to accept the reproductive approach completely? Probably, no: the children can resist to this approach by deviations, hobbies, etc. However, to refuse it is impossible: play and games, even partially, reproduce the future of the children playing them.
In the frameworks of the reproductive approach, there is an opportunity to observe the constant influence of the past on the present and future.
Games pass from father to son. Game originates in the past and game is directed to the future. At the transition from one generation to another, games can change or lose the intensity. However, there is a tendency to marry the people playing the same games or, at least, related games (Bern, 1964).

During some centuries in the different cultures, the play and games were the significant part of the adult culture too. The history of holidays and traditions, some works of art show us that adults and children played together a lot of games, and unfortunately, this tradition is gradually disappearing in a modern society. The results of the conducted researches proved this assumption (Sibireva, 2014). It is important to mention this fact, because through games children join the life of adults, satisfying own needs of the participation in this life.
Summing up the said above, I can conclude play is produced by children and they are active social actors: children can keep the traditions, they can create new games, children can revolt against existing trends. We must consider playing as the activity which requires respect, exploration and support.To be continued.

My travels to Istanbul left me with a very long list of recipes I was excited to make at home. Sigara Börek was high up on the list.
Börek is a savory pastry with filling. The most common fillings are cheese, meat and spinach. I love these little börek because they're great for grabbing and dipping – always the hit of the party.
Börek are perfect appetizers – crispy, crunchy and packed-with-flavor.
One of the best experiences of my Istanbul trip was lunch at the home of our friend's Ihsan's mother and sister. We were served a traditional Turkish meal that began with a rooftop cocktail party. The passed appetizer was Sigara Börek.
That's where I first fell in love with this dish. I've made it many times since I returned home, for my own parties. It's always a big crowd pleaser.
There are many varieties of Turkish börek. One type that's extremely popular looks like a white lasagna or a noodle kugel with a flaky, buttery top.
When I was in Istanbul there was a börekçi (börek shop) near my hotel that I walked past every day. That took serious willpower. If not for the fact that I was on a culinary tour and needed to save room for lots of other delicious foods, I would have gone into that shop every day for a sample.
Finally, on the last day of my trip, just before we headed to the airport, I decided I headed over there for a taste. I was beyond excited watching the shop owner cut off a nice big piece for me, chop it up, and pile it into a paper bowl to go.
It was heavenly!
This recipe for sigara börek is fairly straight forward: make the cheese mixture; roll it up in strips of phyllo; and sauté the rolls.
The hardest part about this recipe is learning how to handle the delicate phyllo sheets so they don't dry out or rip.
Here Are Some Tips For Working With Phyllo:
- Phyllo dough is sold frozen. If you defrost it according to the package directions, which takes several hours, it will be perfect to work with. A couple of times, when I needed to rush the thawing process, I had success with putting the whole unopened box of phyllo in a warm oven (preheated to 300ºF and then shut off) for 30 minutes. I can't promise that it will work for you – you are safer to go by the book – but in a pinch you can give my unconventional thawing method a try.
- Once you remove your phyllo from the box and take it out of the plastic, it will immediately start to dry out. Be prepared with a clean, damp dish towel. Keep your phyllo sheets rolled up, placed on a cutting board or platter, covered with the towel at all times. Lift the towel off briefly, unroll the stack and pull out a sheet to work with. Then re roll and recover the stack.
- Don't fret if your phyllo sheets tear or crumble a bit while you're rolling them. Simply dab some water on the the roll and keep rolling, and everything will usually stick together and result in a perfect little roll.
- Expect to throw away a bunch of phyllo sheets. It's virtually impossible to work with these delicate sheets without messing up a few times. As hard as I try to be gentle, I often end up ripping some of them badly as I pull them out of the stack. There are about 20 sheets in a 1-pound box. Multiply that times four (since you're cutting the sheets into fourths) and that gives you 80 strips – more than you will need for this recipe.
Mix crumbled feta with chopped scallions, parsley, eggs, and pepper.
Set up a rolling station with a bowl of feta mixture, a small bowl of water, your defrosted phyllo dough covered with a damp dish towel, and a plate to place the rolls, as you make them.
Place one sheet of phyllo on your work surface.
Cut it into four strips and don't worry about being too precise. It doesn't matter if your strips are a little uneven.
Put about 2 teaspoons of the feta mixture at the end of one strip, leaving a border on the end and on each side so that you can fold the long sides of the phyllo over the cheese, to meet each other in the middle.
Roll up the dough to the end.
Repeat until you've used all of your filling.
Sauté the rolls in a skillet until crisp and brown.
Drain them on paper towels.
Serve börek warm or at room temperature.
They're such a delicious treat, crisp and flavorful. I love them with the garlicky yogurt sauce but they're also excellent on their own.
You can make the rolls ahead and refrigerate them for a day or two before cooking. Or you can freeze uncooked börek and cook them straight from the freezer.
To freeze, lay the rolls out in layers, with waxed paper in between, in a container with a tight-fitting lid. Freeze for up to 2 months. Cook straight from the freezer.

- *Place one sheet of phyllo on your work surface with the longer edge facing you. Cut it, vertically, into 4 equal strips. Put about 2 teaspoons of the feta mixture near the end of one strip, leaving a one-inch border on each side. Fold the 2 long sides of the phyllo over so they meet in the middle, covering the cheese filling. Roll up the filling and keep rolling until you get almost to the end of the strip. Moisten the end with some water and then finish rolling. The water helps seal the roll. Repeat with the other 3 rolls. Set them on a plate. Repeat the process until you use up your filling. Leftover phyllo sheets can be kept in the fridge for a few days, tightly sealed in plastic. (*see blog post for important tips on working with phyllo)
- Cook The Rolls: Line a plate with a double layer of paper towels. Heat oil in a skillet over medium high heat until the oil wrinkles. Brown the rolls in batches (don't overcrowd) for 3-4 minutes, turning often, until golden brown on all sides. Transfer to towel-lined plate to drain. Repeat with remaining rolls, adding more oil if necessary.
- Serve Borek warm or at room temp, with yogurt sauce to dip, if you like.
- Note about cooking ahead: Rolls can be assembled ahead and refrigerated for a day or two before cooking. Or uncooked rolls can be frozen and cooked straight from the freezer. To freeze, lay the rolls out in layers, with waxed paper in between, in a container with a tight-fitting lid.

The 100 Percenter!
Billy Mace Imel Is A Rare Breed Among Custom Knifemakers
Integral Drop Point Hunter
There was a time when custom knifemakers didn't use computerized machining equipment, instead made their knives the old-fashioned way. All by hand. Some still do, and they proudly call themselves the 100 Percenters. Billy Mace Imel is one of them. An avid hunter, the seeds for Imel's career as a knifemaker were planted in 1972 while dressing a Caribou on a mountaintop in British Columbia. Disgruntled at the inefficiency of his hunting knife, which Billy says "went dull with every swipe," he decided to right the wrong and started taking notes. He'd paid $16 for the knife — not a small sum at the time — but in his estimation it was $16 too much.
"I decided I would buy the best knife I could afford before my next hunt," Imel tells Handgunner. "There was very little information on custom knives and knifemakers at the time, but I managed to find an article profiling a few of the known custom makers. The knife that intrigued me the most was an Integral hunter made by T.M. Dowell and offered at $280!" Billy, a tool and die maker by trade, decided it was time he made his own hunting knife.
"Three months later I took my first finished hunting knife to a local gun shop to have a sheath made for it," Billy recounts. "The owner seemed impressed and wanted to know its price. By now I'd realized T.M. Dowell's knife was greatly underpriced and I wasn't sure I'd want to make another, so I blurted out $375. The shop owner answered, 'Let's start with two.'" Billy told the shop owner he'd do it under one condition. "I told him I would do so, but only if my wife Beverly would agree to handle the paperwork and all other business details. Had she declined there would have been no more Imel knives." Beverly agreed, Billy started making knives, and they've been a strong husband-and-wife team ever since.
Old School Cool
Like most custom knifemakers, Imel's career started small as a part-time job and grew into a full-time one. It was a natural progression going all the way back to his childhood in New Castle, Indiana, where he's lived all his life. "I've always liked to build things," Imel recalls. "I remember 'tearing down motors' with my father when I was only five years old."
Billy nearly cut his knifemaking career short at age 14 while making a homemade rocket. "I was stuffing fuel into the rocket casing when it exploded, seriously mangling my right hand and nearly severing my index finger. I am grateful for my mother's insistence the doctor reattach my index finger. It may be stiff and bent, but I still have full use of my right hand." In the years since, besides making knives, Billy has built a two-story log cabin, custom automobile, miniature steam engines and handmade flintlocks for muzzleloading rifles; and all the time he was a tool and die maker for 40 years, to boot.
Imel's career as a custom knifemaker's been one of satisfaction and accomplishment. In the early years his knife sales funded hunting trips to Wyoming, Colorado, Canada and Alaska — and aided in paying off their mortgage early. As he grew and matured, his success has been noted over and over by his peers in the knifemaking community. Billy was a member of the Knifemakers' Guild for 43 years and served as secretary-treasurer for 15 of those. Recognizing the need for a full-time bookkeeper and records keeper, Beverly was hired as the Guild's office manager. "I had the title. Beverly did all the work," Billy notes.
He's also been recognized in the firearms industry. In 1981 and 1983 Billy was commissioned to make knives for the speakers at the annual NRA convention — President Ronald Reagan and Vice-President George Bush, respectively. In 1985 he worked with a team of artists commissioned by Safari Club International to build a custom rifle commemorating Africa's "Big Five" game animals — the first year a knife was added to the set.
Knifemaker's Knifemaker
By choice, the world of computers has passed this 100 Percenter by. None of the parts of his knives have ever sniffed a CNC machine. "With the exception of heat treating and engraving, my knives are sole authorship," Imel emphasizes. "I have never considered using kit blades or having blades and parts made for my knives."
Billy's process is simple — and remarkable. He doesn't draw designs for his new knives on paper. Rather, he "sees" the completed piece in the bar of steel and then proceeds accordingly. Once when asked how he made knives, Imel explained he just grinds away the steel until the knife appears. All of his grinding is hand held, done "by eye."
In cutlery circles, Billy Mace Imel is most noted for his Integral knives. Unlike typical fixed-blades, Integrals are made from a single piece of steel as opposed to several. It's an extremely difficult process allowing no room for error lest the whole knife be thrown out of kilter. His designs are simple and elegant, flowing like silk. Billy also makes folding knives exhibiting the same wraithlike stylishness of his fixed-blades.
For steel he prefers 440C and D-2 stainless for his Integrals but leans toward the latter for his hunting knives. For folders, the knifemaker switches to CPM154 stainless steel that is better for everyday use. Prices for Imel's custom fare range from $475 for his handmade lightweight hunters to $6,000 for high-end art knives.
Billy's outlook on life is simple. "I believe everything we do in life is another step toward whatever we accomplish. My interest in building things, hunting as my hobby and my vocation as a tool and die maker have all played a part in my becoming a knifemaker, something I never set out to do." But we wouldn't have it any other way, Mister Imel. 100 percent!

In New York State, an average of 1 in 10 mortgages is at risk of foreclosure. The approximate number of individuals living in homes that are either in or facing foreclosure exceeds the populations of Buffalo, Rochester, and Syracuse combined. Earlier this year, New York, along with 48 other states and the federal government, reached a landmark $25 billion agreement to reform the abusive servicing and foreclosure practices of the nation's five largest mortgage servicing banks:
This settlement represents a first step, providing a down payment to struggling homeowners, as well as to some who have already been the victims of wrongful foreclosure.
It will provide immediate relief to homeowners across the state who are struggling. According to U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) estimates, New York is set to receive an estimated $548 million in the form of principal reductions, refinancing and direct payments to homeowners and former homeowners. In addition, New York will receive $130 million to pay for legal services and housing counseling to ensure New Yorkers are protected in the court system.
This agreement holds the banks accountable for their wrongdoing on robo-signing and mortgage servicing, without impeding ongoing and future investigations of the misconduct that led to the bubble and crash of the housing market. State cases against the rating agencies and bid-rigging in the municipal bond market, for example, continue. Claims and investigations against MERS and how Wall Street packaged mortgages into securities also continue.
- About the Settlement: Learn about the settlement, who is affected and what claims may still be pursued to hold the banks accountable.
- Help for Borrowers: Learn how to find out if your loan is affected by this settlement, the timeline for relief, and how you will know if you are eligible.

Wilton Woman's Club donates $40K to prevent substance abuse
WILTON — More than 220 women attended the 10th annual Wilton Woman's Club Fashion Show Fundraiser on March 30, raising $40,000 to support a community initiative led by the Wilton Youth Council to fight substance abuse. The club also donated $1,000 toward the town's purchase of Narcan, which can reverse a drug overdose if given quickly by trained personnel.
The Fashion Show Fundraiser featured Donna and Matt Deluca from The C.A.R.E.S. Group, a community addiction and recovery education support group. The fundraiser also featured, The Opioid Crisis Hits Home, from the U.S Attorney's Office for Connecticut. The state medical examiner expects 900 deaths in Connecticut this year from drug overdoses, about three times the rate of car accident deaths. Four out of five heroin users report they started with an opioid prescription.
In addition to the $40,000 raised for the Wilton Youth Council at the fundraiser, the club gave away an additional $12,000 in 2016-17 to different Wilton groups such as Town Emergency Services, Wilton Police, the Wilton Community Assistance Fund, Trackside, and scholarships for Wilton High School seniors.
New membership starts in June. If interested in joining, visit www.wiltonwomansclub.org.

Happy Friday Everyone. I have been waiting for this day for 3 weeks. We get to check on peanut today and nothing makes me happier!! Well other than naps! So since it is Friday how about my favs for this week.
One. I finally jumped on the essential oils band wagon. I know that I am delayed but nothing felt like it touched the cold that I had for three weeks so I thought hell why not. I can say after running the diffuser for a couple of days that I am starting to see the end of the cold now. I thought it was ending last week and it picked right back up.
Two. I'm sorry but I need this coffee cup. I love it so much and it makes me smile. I need to add more smart ass coffee cups to my collection. I think it makes the mornings better.
Three. Nordstrom's Anniversary sale kicks off today for us normal people. Make sure you check it out to get some great deals. I will picking up a few things.
Four. Living Proof Dry Shampoo is where it is at. I have crazy wavy thick hair and it takes 30 mins at least to make it look presentable. Like for real! So dry shampoo is my life saver and this has alcohol in it so it doesn't look like powder just covering up your greasy hair it actually sucks up some of the oil. I love that!
Five. Y'all this is the first year that we have watched America's Got Talent and it sure has not let us down. Really the only reason we watched it was because a friend told me that this year has a super funny guy. Well I watched it and fell in love with the funny guy. His name is tape face and I hope he goes all the way.

Obviously, there are a lot of amazing guitar players posting on outube but if you haven't checked out Mathias W. (Weber) already then you are in for a treat. He never talks in his videos so I don't even know if he speaks English but wow - what a player. His style reminds me a little bit of Junior Brown - insane double stops pulloffs and bends combined with very tasty melodic lead playing. he can shred with the best of them but he rarely does - mostly he plays the guitar as what it was designed to be - a musical instrument.
Check him out on this terrific solo guitar version of Alvin Lee's "I'm going Home" (sands vocals).

Sen. Jim Inhofe (R-OK) today released a letter he and other senators sent to Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Administrator Gina McCarthy, calling for the rejection of an October 2012 petition related to the Toxic Release Inventory (TRI).
Inhofe, who chairs the Senate Committee on Environmental and Public Works, was joined by Sens. David Vitter (R-LA) and Mike Rounds (R-SD), the latter of who chairs the Superfund Waste Management and Regulatory Oversight Subcommittee. The petition, submitted by the Environmental Integrity Project, asks that the EPA include the oil and gas extraction industry to facilities that must submit reports under the TRI.
The senators oppose the idea, arguing that the TRI should be more narrowly focused. The letter also brings up a 1996 EPA decision on the same issue that determined individual well operations do not meet thresholds set out in the TRI.
"Despite substantial new development of American oil and natural gas, these realities previously cited by EPA remain," the senators said. "Consequently, nothing has changed since the inception of the TRI to suggest that its purposes would be served by adding another high volume, low toxicity waste industry – particularly one that would overwhelmingly fall outside the reporting requirement thresholds. For these reasons, we strongly believe that EPA should reject the EIP petition as soon as possible."

Hey, everybody, come share the joy of work!
I got several interesting and useful replies, both via the blog and by personal email, to my two previous posts where I mentioned I would be starting a translation of the Made With Creative Commons book. It is my pleasure to say: Welcome everybody, come and share the joy of work!
Some weeks ago, our project was accepted as part of Hosted Weblate, lowering the bar for any interested potential contributor. So, whoever wants to be a part of this: You just have to log in to Weblate (or create an account if needed), and start working!
What is our current status? Amazingly better than anything I have exepcted: Not only we have made great progress in Spanish, reaching >28% of translated source strings, but also other people have started translating into Norwegian Bokmål (hi Petter!) and Dutch (hats off to Heimen Stoffels!). So far, Spanish (where Leo Arias and myself are working) is most active, but anything can happen.
I still want to work a bit on the initial, pre-po4a text filtering, as there are a small number of issues to fix. But they are few and easy to spot, your translations will not be hampered much when I solve the missing pieces.
So, go ahead and get to work! :-D Oh, and if you translate sizeable amounts of work into Spanish: As my university wants to publish (in paper) the resulting works, we would be most grateful if you can fill in the (needless! But still, they ask me to do this...) authorization for your work to be a part of a printed book.

Reporting progress on the translation infrastructure
Some days ago, I blogged asking for pointers to get started with the translation of Made with Creative Commons. Thank you all for your pointers and ideas! To the people that answered via private mail, via IRC, via comments on the blog. We have made quite a bit of progress so far; I want to test some things before actually sending a call for help. What do we have?
- Git repository set up
- I had already set up a repository at GitLab; right now, the contents are far from useful, they merely document what I have done so far. I have started talking with my Costa Rican friend Leo Arias, who is also interested in putting some muscle behind this translation, and we are both the admins to this project.
- Talked with the authors
- Sarah is quite enthusiastic about us making this! I asked her to hold a little bit before officially announcing there is work ongoing... I want to get bits of infrastructure ironed out first. Important — Talking with her, she discussed the tools they used for authoring the book. It made me less of a purist :) Instead of starting from something "pristine", our master source will be the PDF export of the Google Docs document.
- Markdown conversion
- Given that translation tools work over the bits of plaintext, we want to work with the "plainest" rendition of the document, which is Markdown. I found that Pandoc does a very good approximation to what we need (that is, introduces very little "ugly" markup elements). Converting the ODT into Markdown is as easy as:
$ pandoc -f odt MadewithCreativeCommonsmostup-to-dateversion.odt -t markdown > MadewithCreativeCommonsmostup-to-dateversion.md
Of course, I want to fine-tune this as much as possible.
- Producing a translatable
- I have used Gettext to translate user interfaces; it is a tool very well crafted for that task. Translating a book is quite different: How and where does it break and join? How are paragraphs "strung" together into chapters, parts, a book? That's a task for PO 4 Anything (po4a). As simple as this:
po4a-gettextize -f text -m MadewithCreativeCommonsmostup-to-dateversion.md -p MadewithCreativeCommonsmostup-to-dateversion.po -M utf-8
I tested the resulting file with my good ol' trusty
poedit, and it works... Very nicely!
What is left to do?
- I made an account and asked for hosting at Weblate. I have not discussed this with Leo, so I hope he will agree ;-) Weblate is a Web-based infrastructure for collaborative text translation, provided by Debian's Michal Čihař. It integrates nicely with version control systems, preserves credit for each translated string (and I understand, but might be mistaken, that it understands the role of "editors", so that Leo and I will be able to do QA on the translation done by whoever joins us, trying to have a homogeneous-sounding result. I hope the project is approved for Weblate soon!
- Work on reconstructing the book. One thing is to deconstruct, find paragraphs, turn them into translatable strings... And a very different one is to build a book again from there! I have talked with some people to help me get this in shape. It is basically just configuring Pandoc — But as I have never done that, any help will be most, most welcome!
- Setting translation policies. What kind of language will we use? How will we refer to English names and terms? All that important stuff to give proper quality to our work
- Of course, the long work itself: Performing the translations ☺

Made with Creative Commons: Starting a translation project
Dear Lazyweb,
About a week ago, I learnt about the release of an interesting book by the fine people at Creative Commons: Made with Creative Commons. The book itself is, of course, CC BY-SA-licensed.
I downloaded it and started reading right away. Some minutes later, I ordered a dead-tree copy, which arrived a couple of days ago. (I'm linking to the publisher's page, but bought it from Amazon México... Shipping it from Denmark would not have been as cheap and fast, I guess).
Anyway, given my workplace, given the community I know, given I know something like this is much needed... I will start a Spanish translation of the content. There are at least two other people interested in participating, and I haven't yet publicized my intentions (this is the first public statement about it).
So, dear Lazyweb: What I need is a good framework for doing this. I started by creating a Git repository, and we were discussing to translate to Markdown (to later format according to the desired output) but then I thought... If we want the translation to be updateable, and to be able to properly accept other people's work, maybe a better format is warranted?
So, my current idea is to create a Markdown version for the English original, and find a way to shoehorn^Wseparate it by paragraphs and feed it to Gettext, which is the best translation framework I have used (but is meant for code translation, not for full-text)...
Dear lazyweb: What tools do you recommend me to use? Quite important to me: Are they Free tools? Are they easy to use by third-parties, maybe incorporating work via Git? Or, at least, via a Web front-end that allows me as a project lead to review and approve/fix/reject strings?
Thanks, lazyweb!

- 2 teaspoons cold water
- 2 tablespoons boiling water
- 1 can (16 ounces) hearts of palm, drained, and patted dry
Coconut-Date Vinaigrette Edit
- 1 cup canned coconut milk
- ¼ cup Coco López
- 1 cup dark rum
- 1 cup red wine vinegar
- ½ cup sherry vinegar
- 1 small onion, cut into ½-inch dice

Directions Edit
Terrine Edit
- Combine the potatoes, chipotles, and milk in a large saucepan.
- Bring the milk to a gentle boil and cook over medium heat until the potatoes are tender, about 10 to 15 minutes.
- Strain the milk from the potatoes and set the potatoes and chiles aside.
- Return the milk to the pan and gently simmer until it has reduced to about ⅓ cup.
- Meanwhile, press the potatoes and chiles through a coarse sieve into a large bowl.
- Stir in the salt, pepper, and olive oil, and set aside.
- In a mixing bowl, dissolve the gelatin with the cold water and then stir in the boiling water.
- Set aside.
- Remove the milk from the heat and stir in the dissolved gelatin.
- Slowly blend this mixture into the potatoes until they are thickly textured.
- Line a 9 by 4-inch loaf pan (or other shaped pan, as desired) with plastic wrap; the wrap should extend over the edges of the pan by a couple of inches on all sides.
- Place one third of the potato mixture in the bottom of the pan and spread out evenly.
- Add a layer of half of the hearts of palm and then another layer of one third of the potato mixture.
- Add the remaining hearts of palm and top with the remaining potato mixture.
- Fold over the plastic wrap to cover the top layer and chill in the refrigerator overnight.
Coconut-Date Vinaigrette Edit
- Combine the coconut milk, Coco López, rum, vinegars, and onion in a saucepan and reduce over high heat to 1 cup, about 15 minutes.
- Remove from the heat and let cool.
- When cool, whisk in the olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
- Stir in the dates.
Assembly Edit
- Preheat the oven to 400°F.
- Melt the butter in a small saute pan; add the garlic and parsley and saute 2 minutes.
- Cut the bread into ½-inch-thick slices.
- Brush on the garlic mixture and add salt.
- Place slices on a baking sheet and bake for 5 to 8 minutes, or until browned.
- Meanwhile, unfold the top covering of plastic wrap from the terrine, and gently invert the loaf pan on a serving platter, running a knife around the inside edge if necessary.
- Carefully remove the plastic wrap and cut the terrine into slices.
- Garnish with the coconut, goat cheese, and greens and serve with the herb toast and vinaigrette on the side.

I have been running d's locks with Spinergy LX wheels with my new chair for a year now and now noticing more movement in the spoke flex. The piston pin and lock ring are still seating tight. I was thinking about taking the lock ring & clamps off the LX?s and using them on some RB Dino wheels.
Does anybody know if the LX lock ring/clamps will fit on the RB Dino wheels?

The Union Coordination Committee announced Tuesday that it would stay committed to its decision to boycott the correcting of official exams, with the long-awaited salary raise for public sector workers still to be approved.The union berated politicians for giving students passing certificates in spite of its protest. An Education Ministry source told The Daily Star that the passing certificates would be given not only to students who actually took the official exams, but to all who had applied for them.While most students applying to university this year likely attended the exams, there are a number of applicants each year who do not show up.According to the committee's recommendation, any student with a passing certificate who wishes to enter the LU for the next academic year should take an entrance exam.However, the education minister's decision to give passing certificates to all Grade 12 students means that even those who might have failed the official exam would be eligible for admission.

When it comes to figuring out medical coverage, sometimes you just need the ear of an expert.
That's why we offer a free, unbiased health insurance counseling program called SHINE (which stands for Serving the Health Insurance Needs of Everyone). Through the SHINE program, certified counselors work with you as you navigate the requirements of Medicare, screen you to see if you may qualify for MassHealth and other public benefits, and help you select the plan that is best suited to your needs.
In person at one of our 20+ counseling locations around Mystic Valley and the North Shore or over the telephone, you and your SHINE counselor will review your existing medical coverage, compare potential insurance plans, and make sure that you aren't paying for unnecessary or duplicate coverage.
It's about helping you find what you need.
All counselors are trained and certified by the Massachusetts Executive Office of Elder Affairs. They have expertise in Medicare Parts A and B, Medigap insurance, Medicare Advantage plans, MassHealth, and State and Federal public benefits programs.
To make an appointment, please call your local senior center. You may also call the Regional SHINE office at Mystic Valley Elder Services in Malden at 781-388-4845. You will be asked to leave a message and a daytime phone number. A SHINE counselor will return your call within two business days.

"The scholarship equivalent of Yale donning a burqa to suppress the temptations its immodesty might otherwise inspire"
While everyone (well, not quite everyone) has been scurrying around worrying about not-so-gradual government take over of health care and other large swathes of the economy, the sinister pas-de-deux of Islamism, on the hand, and Western capitulation, on the other, proceeds under the radar in its slow but seemingly inexorable dance.
The latest news from this front comes to us from the ivy-covered eyrie of Yale University. The venerable Yale University Press had contracted to publish a book called "The Cartoons That Shook the World," i.e., the cartoons of Mohammed published in September 2005 in the Danish newspaper Jyllands-Posten.
I'd like to second the desideratum expressed by the British journalist Charles Moore at the time: "I wish," Moore wrote in the Telegraph, "someone would mention the word that dominates Western culture in the face of militant Islam -- fear. And then I wish someone would face it down."
Is Yale stepping up to the plate? "Good idea!" you say. "About time someone had the courage to investigate that episode of insanity. I mean, really: you publish a handful of satirical cartoons and then adherents of the ostentatiously misnamed 'religion of peace' go postal, start burning down Danish embassies across the globe, issuing death threats to the cartoonists, etc."
Dream on. This is contemporary academia, after all. No, after consulting "two dozen authorities, including diplomats and experts on Islam and counterterrorism," that great bastion of intellectual light, the Yale University Press, decided to publish a book about the Danish cartoons without the Danish cartoons.
As the web site Hot Air put it, this is "the scholarship equivalent of Yale donning a burqa to suppress the temptations its immodesty might otherwise inspire." What's more, the "authorities" they consulted (I wish they'd asked me) advised them to refrain from including any representations of Mohammed, in particular Gustave Doré's illustration of an episode from Dante's Inferno that describes Muhammad being tormented in Hell.

Texas Medical Waste Disposal Savings
|Practice Type
|Zip Code
|Projected Annual Savings
|Surgery Center
|Surgery Center
|Family Medicine
|Heart Center
|Family Practice
- Animal waste from animals intentionally exposed to pathogens
- Bulk human blood and blood products
- Pathological waste
- Microbiological waste
- Sharps
The storage of medical waste shall be in a secure manner and location that affords protection from theft, vandalism, inadvertent human or animal exposure, rain, water, and wind. The waste shall be managed so as not to provide a breeding place or food for insects or rodents, and not generate noxious odors. Generators of medical waste are not required to refrigerate the waste, but must store it in a secure manner and not create a nuisance. More from the TCEQ about medical waste can be found on their Managing and Disposing of Medical Waste page, with links to rules, guidance and forms.
By definition, sharps waste is any biohazardous material that can puncture skin and is contaminated with bodily fluids. According to OSHA estimates, 5.6 million healthcare workers handling medical equipment such as needles, syringes, and scalpels are at risk of exposure to blood borne pathogens from sharps-related injuries. Therefore, it is crucial for medical clinics, practices, surgery centers, and other businesses that generate contaminated needles and syringes to dispose of medical sharps waste correctly. Incorrect management of discarded needles and other sharps can pose a health risk to the public and waste workers. Discarded needles may expose waste workers to needle stick injuries and infection, if containers break inside garbage trucks, or needles are mistakenly sent to recycling facilities. Janitors and housekeepers also risk injury, if uncontained sharps poke through plastic garbage bags. Proper sharps waste management requires:
- Proper puncture-proof container
- Care from the medical community
- Proper training for dealing with sharps
- A licensed medical waste disposal company for container removal
To reduce the risk of injury, the FDA recommends healthcare facilities and other waste generators follow a two-step process for proper medical sharps disposal:
- Place all needles and sharps in a verified sharps disposal container immediately after use.
- Overfilling containers increase risk of injury, so when 3/4 full, follow community guidelines on getting rid of the sharps container.
- Storage requirements and community guidelines vary by location.
By following medical sharps disposal regulations, you can keep your business compliant and avoid unnecessary fees, reduce pollution to the environment, prevent injury, and prevent the spread of disease.
For Texan healthcare facilities looking for a simple, compliant and cost-effective sharps removal service, contact MedPro Disposal. We'll create a customized and flexible service schedule and provide you with puncture-proof containers to simply seal and schedule for pick-up when full. For a smaller generators of waste, MedPro Disposal also offers a sharps mail-back service.
Healthcare practices in Texas save an average of $8,866 a year by working with MedPro Disposal. We are a provider for full service management, removal, transportation and disposal of regulated medical waste. Our commitment to customer service, safety and regulatory compliance leaves our clients protected and confident that their waste is being disposed of in the proper manner. At your convenience, a sales representative will be happy to provide a quote on your medical waste removal and disposal needs. We look forward to the opportunity to service all your medical waste removal, transportation and disposal needs and to provide you with outstanding service.

Houston parents capture Mexican national having sex with 15 year old daughter
Daily Mail:
A mother checking up on her daughter before bedtime was shocked to discover a man having sex with the 15-year-old after sneaking into their Houston home, but rather than panic, the woman took matters into her own hands.They met on a gaming site called MocoSpace. The story reports that other women have been assaulted after meeting men on the site. This episode seems unusually brazen. Narvaez is being held in the Harris County jail where his bail has been put at $35,000 which seems low for a non citizen.
After catching the intruder in the girl's bedroom, the mother and the girl's stepfather detained the man until police arrived and hauled him away in handcuffs.
The suspect, 21-year-old Carlos Narvaez, of Houston, Texas, has been arrested and charged with sexually assaulting the 15-year-old girl whom he met on a gaming site.
According to the girl's parents, Narvaez was caught 'in the act' when the teen's mother walked into her room for a late-night check-up.
The unnamed woman told KHOU 11 that when she turned on the light in the bedroom, the startled 21-year-old man tried to flee, but she informed him that he's not going anywhere.
The woman alerted her husband, the girl's stepfather, who rushed to her aid and put the suspected child molester in a headlock until police arrived.

Dave Gray Invitational (Norris City) – 9/14/2017
9/14/2017 – NCOE (Dave Gray) Invitational
The Lady Foxes and Foxes received first place trophies for outstanding performances by both teams. The Foxes went to the Norris City Invitational set on taking home a little bit of hardware. Both teams were in full force and even had extra athletes that were unable to compete due to the Invitational only having two races.
The girls ran first. Raegan Halley took out fast and led the Lady Foxes throughout the three lap course. Jasmine Coomes followed closely behind her, Reagan took Third overall and Jasmine was fourth overall in the race. Olivia Ragan was 10th and Kaylee Chapman was 12th overall, all taking home medals. The Lady Foxes ended up taking 1st place overall with a score of 56.
The Boy's team took off at 4:00 and were ready to try a little bit of a different strategy. The Foxes stayed packed together for runners number 1 through 7 after a mile into the race and stayed there until the end of the race. The pack of runners was close and encouragement for the pack was abundant. When all was settled and done the Foxes ended up taking 2nd (Adam Wellen), 3rd (Matt Rubenacker), 4th (Logan Hunt), 5th (Hunter Braden), 6th (Kaden Richards), 7th (Theron Smith) and 8th (Trenton Butler). By pack running, the Foxes top 7 runners were within 3 seconds of each other. The Foxes took 1st Place overall with a score of 20 points.
Lots of parents and friends made the short trip to cheer on the teams. The Foxes next race is Saturday morning at the Olney Community College for the Olney Invitational.
