I was very pleased with American Eagle Towing. The attention to detail was excellent. Bryan noticed that the back window in my motorhome was not latched properly, so he removed the window and put it inside saving me an expensive replacement. I was out of state at the time and Bryan stayed in contact with me until delivery. The price was very fair and the service exceptional. I will call Bryan again immediately when I need a vehicle moved. Thanks, Bryan!!

FCC to Consider Budgeting $100 Million for New Telehealth Pilot Program
The Federal Communications Commission will seek to establish a new $100 million Connected Care Pilot Program to support telehealth for low-income Americans, especially those living in rural areas and veterans, Commissioner Brendan Carr announced today. The commission will vote at its August meeting on a notice seeking comment on budgeting $100 million in Universal Service Fund support for the program. "I want to thank Chairman Pai who, as the son of two doctors, appreciates the role that telemedicine plays in connecting rural communities to health care opportunities," Carr said. "I am grateful for the support he has shown as my office has worked on developing this pilot program. I also want to thank the leadership shown on these issues by Sens. John Thune [R-SD], Roger Wicker [R-MS], Deb Fischer [R-NE], Cory Gardner [R-CO], and Todd Young [R-IN] who have all urged the FCC to take additional steps in support of connected care deployments."

I found out this morning that there was a bad car accident Friday night that killed two freshmen from UA that were Kappa's. There were a few cars of girls headed down to the beach for Labor Day and one of the driver's dozed off and over-corrected herself and her car ended up flipping multiple times. Both the driver and the front passenger were killed. There were two other girls in the backseat who are ok and the car behind them watched it all happen.
Please pray for these girls and their families. This is not how you want to start college. The grief and emotions that they are having to work through have to be horrible. Also, pray for the other girls who knew them and lived around them. A friend from my home town lived next door to her in Tutwiler and I'm sure there are countless others who are devestated from this loss. Please pray for these girls, their families, the Kappa's and the greek community at Alabama as they mourn these girls who had so much in front of them.
Here's a link to the story in the Mobile paper.

Getting Crafty
I'm so excited that I got an early Christmas gift this year! My mom gave me a Silhouette Cameo! I have wanted one of these machines for a really long time. While at college for graphic design, most of my art projects were made out of paper, which I cut by hand. I have no idea why… I just really love cutting paper. LOL Though all those projects were horrible, and I don't have any of them anymore. #noshame
Now that I have my own Silhouette, I am happily decorating my office at work and my home.
Since it's the season for giving, I'm giving away my files for free, so you can enjoy decorating your home this season with these holiday cut files.

A common issue with plugins is where people insist they must call
wp-load.php directly so that they can call WordPress functions and data when WordPress isn't loaded. When I push back on that code, the common rationale is that there's an external service that needs to ping a reliable URL to run code.
You Don't Know Where WordPress Is You Don't Know Where WordPress Is
When you hardcode in paths, or assume that everyone has WordPress in the root of their domain, you cause anyone using 'Giving WordPress it's own directory' (a very common setup) to break. In addition, WordPress allows users to change the name of the
wp-content folder, so any plugin that tries to guess where it is would break on any site that choses to do so.
This cuts both ways. First your clever script that tries to go to
example.com/wp-content/plugins/your-plugin/yourfile.php is going to fail if someone moves that folder. Second your clever file that looks for
wp-load.php by going up a couple folders will also fail.
You can't know where WordPress is. The only way to know all that would be to do things from within WordPress.
Never Call Files Directly Never Call Files Directly
The only files you should ever call directly in your code is your code's files or if you're checking for the existence of another plugin or theme. This is the only time it's smart to be hardcoding in paths of other code directly into your code.
if ( is_plugin_active( 'plugin-directory/plugin-file.php' ) ) { }
Since most people call these files to have access to WordPress 'without loading WordPress,' the actual correct fix is to tie processing functions (the ones that need but don't have access to core functions) into an action hook, such as "init" or "admin_init".
Code you add to WordPress should be inside WordPress, only accessible to people who are logged in and authorized, if it needs that kind of access. Plugin's pages should be called via the dashboard like all the other settings panels, and in that way, they'll always have access to WordPress functions.
What's The Right Answer? What's The Right Answer?
Okay. There's one case where it makes sense that you might possibly need to call a URL directly. If you're hooking WordPress up to a service and you want to have a good URL to call, then yes, you would be well served by having one of the following:
Don't those look nice? There are two main ways to get there.
External Rules External Rules
An external rule is basically you adding an redirect rule for a URL to point to a file. You could do this in
.htaccess or
nginx.conf but if you do it in WordPress, it looks like this:
add_action( 'init', 'myplugin_external_rules' ); function myplugin_external_rules() { global $wp_rewrite; $plugin_url = plugins_url( 'yourfile.php', __FILE__ ); $plugin_url = substr( $plugin_url, strlen( home_url() ) + 1 ); $wp_rewrite->add_external_rule( 'myplugin$', $plugin_url ); }
Now the obvious issue here is that you're still calling a php file directly, which means you don't get any access to WordPress functions. Boo. Thankfully there's another answer.
Internal Rules Internal Rules
While more complicated and weird, this is a better solution.
First you need to actually make the rule:
add_action( 'init', 'myplugin_internal_rules' ); function myplugin_internal_rules() { add_rewrite_rule( 'myplugin', 'index.php?myplugin=runstuff', 'top' ); }
This means that those two example URLs I pitched before are the same thing.
Next you need to tell WordPress not to stomp all over the query variables:
add_filter( 'query_vars', 'myplugin_query_vars' ); function myplugin_query_vars( $query_vars ) { $query_vars[] = 'myplugin'; return $query_vars; }
You have to do this because otherwise WordPress won't know what to do with the query variable.
Finally we tell WordPress what to actually do with your variable:
add_action( 'parse_request', 'myplugin_parse_request' ); function myplugin_parse_request( &$wp ) { if ( array_key_exists( 'myplugin', $wp->query_vars ) ) { include 'yourfile.php'; // Call your functions here! // function_name_thingy(); exit(); } return; }
You'll notice that
// your functions here code is waiting for your code. That's because this time we're including the PHP file and then in there you've theoretically written your code in a nice little function. And that function? Uses WordPress functions because it is one.

Back to paper and words again. I'm getting office fever as every day our sells drop and the hours slow to the point of almost going backwards. So am back to treadmill-stepping in between phone calls, and feeding my brains with other people's lives and words.
…Just finished this for instance:
…Purchased as part of my usual actor-stalkiness. Because, yes, it is in fact THAT Lauren Graham who wrote it. Cuz guess what? She's an author too. And she ain't bad.
…If you're an actor, you'll totally get it in a "call-out-during-baptist-sunday-service-amen" kinda way. If you are not an actor, but like Lauren Graham…you can totally hear her quirky line delivery with every sentence. If you are a little (or lot) frustrated with how your life-plans are behind where they are supposed to be, you can treat it like a drinking game every time she nails what you feel like right now…(then drunkenly commiserate that at least you aren't totally alone in feeling like this.)
…And if you aren't any of those things…sorta screw you a little bit. You're a giant big fat Gilmore-hating, money-making success.
Congratulations, asshole.
…Now I'm on this one:
"…That's one hell of a segue," you may be thinking right now. And it is, but then, I realized like yesterday how two giant show auditions are just around the corner. I was caught off guard, understandably, on account that both are like 4 and 6 months away from opening…but the powers that be, wisely looked at three major holidays 'tween now and then and thought (I imagine, anyway), "Well, damn…plop all that together and it's like a month of conflicts, we best get on this shit!"
…I specifically like the powers-that-be for "Miracle Worker" thinking that…just because shocking contrast makes me smile. (As if you haven't guessed.) Almost as much as incomplete sentences, ellipses, and sinking smarmy parentheticals into everything. I'm like a grammatical hooligan all up in here. Not as blatant about it as the Twitter/texting aficionados, but then they are just secret freaks with their special number-acronym-mystery-language. My stuff mostly makes sense at least. And rarely contains hashtags…which, BTW* are called POUNDS.
…Try telling that to a 20-year old sometime.
Go ahead. Try.
…Anyway…the book. It's about study time. It's time to hit the books again for this and other shows that will be popping up. To get my jones on. I feel it, already. Plus, it's got a two-for-one bonus of keeping my brain occupied until the next OITNB* season starts.
(* yes, I note the irony. It's part of the joke. "Oh, there was a joke," you ask? Yes. But it's not funny now that I have to explain it. So thanks for that.)
So maybe I'm a little grumpy right now. But only a little. It's the "I'm busy reading don't bug me" grumpy…not the real mean kind. It is partly mixed with depression though…the depression of exhausting all my streaming joy sectors on Netflix. I've Gilmore-Girled, Parenthooded and Orange-Blacked myself through a wildfire of epic consumption. All seasons…ALL…since just October 1st.
…I realize there is a wealth of "more" out there still to be had, but frankly, I don't think I can get this close to another cast of characters again in such quick succession. I sorta feel like a giant streaming whore right now…just voracious appetite and flying through them faster than a bag of Costco Halloween candy on the day-after sale. It's a lot to hold onto. Like, in my head and heart. I get too close to fake people. And obsessive.
…Just ask my google history.
…Anyway…there is where we are.
I'm on books now.
It somehow feels more personally productive.
…Though as Lauren states in her book, it's not like binging on quality TV isn't an educational and worthwhile tool. For instance, what if Netflix calls me up from that audition I never took and says, "Hey, we really need you to be in season 3 as Vee's secret drug-mule daughter she left in Mexico that one time, but gets caught crossing the border, is put in the clink, and decides Red is gonna be her oedipal mom substitute. Do you need a character/family chart for that?"
…Now, (thanks to my diligent hours and hours of study), I can be like: "Dudes, I'm already on it."
…And I'll totally own that part.
…And win the Emmy.
The end.

PM+: Pressing need for EU action on Alzheimer's and Parkinson's
EU's policymakers need to recognise the scale and threat of Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease, argues Colin Mackay
Degenerative brain disorders are the greatest threat to sustaining health and social care in Europe. 21st century Europeans enjoy a life expectancy and a quality of health that previous generations could only dream of.
Advances in medical science and improvements in public health mean that treatments for many diseases once seen as deadly or disabling have become part of routine care.
Premature death from infectious diseases, heart disease and a growing number of cancers is increasingly uncommon.
- PM+: MEP backs new Parkinson's awareness campaign
- Physical activity could be key to reducing Alzheimer's
- EU must confront ethical dilemmas related to eHealth
However, these benefits have come at a cost. Our increasing longevity has uncovered a wide incidence of degenerative conditions where medical science cannot yet provide solutions.
The most worrying of these are neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease.
These can be hugely debilitating diseases; individuals who develop these conditions may remain physically robust, but their mental capacity can become severely compromised and their quality of life impaired.
Alternatively, they may retain their faculties but deteriorate physically. As the disease progresses, sufferers increasingly lose the ability to look after themselves, often requiring the support of a full-time carer.
One of the main problems is how little we know about these conditions. Prevention is challenging; the triggers for these diseases are not well understood and there are virtually no early warnings of onset.
By the time symptoms develop, the disease is fully established, with no hope of a cure. At best, available treatments can only slow the progress of symptoms; in many sufferers, they are almost completely ineffectual.
As the population ages, the number of people developing these conditions will continue to grow. The demand this will place on resources threatens to overwhelm our social systems. Therefore we urgently need to take action to deal with the challenge.
As a society, we are duty-bound to offer sufferers of these conditions, and the families and carers that support them, the same optimism as those diagnosed with other diseases.
We need to prioritise the search for new, more effective treatments that will improve outcomes and quality of life for patients.
We also need to improve understanding of the basic science behind these conditions. It is these insights that will help us predict more accurately who may be at risk of developing these conditions and to identify ways to prevent the disease taking hold.
Where should the policy priorities lie? Firstly, policymakers need to recognise that this is a genuine unmet need and ensure that public research into neurodegenerative conditions is adequately funded.
This will be the key to understanding the processes that trigger these diseases and how to prevent their development. Advances in techniques such as genomics and large-scale data analysis may provide much-needed insights, and a lack of resources should not be a barrier.
Secondly, there should be hope for those who already suffer from these conditions and the carers who look after them. They should not have to wait for a major breakthrough or a miracle cure; too many people are already suffering.
Policymakers should identify ways to stimulate research and development of new therapies. Given the absence of effective therapies, promising treatments should benefit from accelerated approval processes and rapid reimbursement.
Europe's policymakers must recognise the scale of the threat that these conditions pose to Europe's social systems and ultimately to Europe's economy. The solutions are clear; prioritising research into neurodegenerative conditions and rewarding innovation will go a long way to mitigating the impact.
At the same time, they must recognise that this is already a pressing need and that any action needs to be swift and decisive.

MotoOnline.com.au puts the latest TLD racewear to the test.
Words: Guy Streeter.
Troy Lee Designs' SE gear range is TLD's premium gear and has been developed and perfected over many years. The focus Troy Lee Designs puts into the SE range is performance, function and durability and of course several rad designs and colorways which you expect from TLD. The jersey/pant combo hosts an array of both perforated and heavy grade polyester, stretch material and top grade leather, creating a great line of gear to suit any displine of riding whether it be motocross, supercross, adventure or enduro.
The SE jersey features a ventilated polyester mesh back and ventilated polyester mesh sleeves made from breathable stretch polyester materials allowing the jersey to breathe and keep sweat to a minimum. Sewn-in elbow padding adds extra protection, four-way stretch collar and cuffs increase comfort, and gel print on the tail keeps your jersey in place so you don't look like Jason Anderson after lap one.
The SE pants features a new articulated fit for performance and comfort, a durable ratchet closure system around the waist keeping your pants secure, 900 denier polyester for long lasting strength, cowhide leather panels on inner knee areas providing added protection, w-way stretch panels at rear knee, calf and crotch areas allowing plenty of room for knee braces or pads and a sliding rear yoke stretch system to keep the pant in place.
As always with all Troy Lee Designs helmets and gear, the one thing that does set them further apart, is the graphics and colorways. The SE Gravity jersey and pant combo MotoOnline.com.au were sent featured bright yellow with a mountain scene front and back. Once you get past the detail of the graphic you will notice the quality in the product and clearly can see it is high end quality.
The Jersey fit was great as you would expect, shelling out $94.95 for this great looking bit of gear, the sleeves are not too tight and don't feel restrictive around the cuffs either. The jersey allowed for plenty of air flow keeping the sweat to a minimum and felt light to wear.
The pants fit and feel great on, stretching in all the right places and have plenty of room for either knee braces or knee pads. The SE gear in recent years has used velcro side straps which I am not a huge fan of in general and now the SE gear features a ratchet system at the front giving plenty of room to 'fill out' depending on weight fluctuation and in general gives you a more secure and precise fit.
The 2017 Troy Lee Designs gear has hit the shelves and the pant and jersey combo can be picked up for $94.95 for the jersey and $289.85 for the pant. The TLD SE gear comes in a huge selection of colorways and designs so make sure you check out www.lustyindustries.com for the full range.

Averbol 25 British Dragon (250 mg/ml) 10 ml
Description and Uses
Chemical Nomenclature: 17 beta-hydroxy-17alpha-methyl-1,4-androstadien-3-one
Averbol 25 British Dragon (Methandrostenolone / methandienone) is a well-known synthetic injectable steroid. It is widespread in use since a long time by body builders and athletes as it promotes protein synthesis and glycogen breakdown after workouts. Averbol gives immense strength and acts faster than few other steroids. Methandienone is well-acknowledged because of its immediate results in terms of muscle buildup and power.
The effects of Averbol are mainly non AR mediated but strongly rely on the degree of dosage. Since it has been reported that higher doses of Methandienone have caused androgenic effects like acne and male baldness.
Averbol - a synthetic steroid, its composition is close to testosterone. This is one of the oldest and well-known in the world of steroids.
Since its inception, the primary objective was to increase muscle growth in a shorter period. Today, its purpose and the importance of bodybuilding remains unchanged.
Dosage and duration of the course
Drug combinations
Methandienone course
According to the observations and experts, as well as -professional bodybuilders, the optimal rate while taking the drug is 4 weeks. Maintain regular exercise regime, moreover, nutrition and sleep mode, the first results manifest themselves after 1st year. For athletes with experience, to improve and achieve the desired results can be combined in a compound with other known drugs.
If the primary purpose of receiving an increased strength and less weight is recommended to combine the reception of steroids in combination with oxandrolone.
Methandienone dose
The dose should correspond to specific goals and results. For experienced athletes and people involved at a professional level, the daily dose of intake should be 15 to 40 mg.
For novice athletes or -amatores who received a dose of the drug required to reduce to 15-20 mg per day. With the repetition rate, the dosage of the drug should not be increased; it is sufficient to add any of the injectable steroids. It should be remembered that increasing the recommended dose reception can lead to side effects.
Methandienone side effects
Like many other steroids, British Dragon Averbol 25 has its side effects but is observed to occur only when the average daily optimal dose of 20 mg is exceeded.
If the drug is taken in high doses for a long time, it can have a toxic effect on the human liver. Has the property converted into estrogen preparation and requires appropriate post-cycle therapy (e.g., tamoxifen or Proviron).
As a result of the action of androgen component in its composition, it can cause acne, acne on the body, as it significantly stimulates the sebaceous glands of man.
Methandienone reviews
Thousands of athletes have taken the drug since the beginning of its appearance on the market in the -x 60-70 years of the last century. Therefore, over time, their strengths and weaknesses, a positive effect on the body and the side effects it stood.
On the Internet, there are many comments methandienone. Among them, they can be found both positive and adverse. However, if given a high assessment of the work of the drug, it can be said that this is a safe tool for beginners as well as one of the most important components of the combined cycle in professional athletes.
Methandienone effect
The main positive effects on the action of the drug are relatively safe to use, good results in the recruitment of muscle mass and strength. Also, the recovery time is reduced and eliminated from the body, with specially designed tools.

Operation and Maintenance (Closed Loop)
Follow the heat pump manufacturer's checkout list. A system operational checkout typically includes these steps:
Measure the rate of flow of water through the loop system. This can be done using one of two methods.
1. A calibrated flow meter, or
2. The Pressure Drop method. If the latter is used:
For example, a 3-ton heat pump typically will have about 6 to 9 gpm flow for correct operation. The temperature of the water entering the heat pump should be checked. During heating operation, this should be between 25 to 80°F. During cooling operation, it should be between 40 to 110°F. Once it has been determined that the flow rate and entering water temperature are acceptable, the heat pump system is ready to be turned on and checked for correct operation.
With the thermostat fan position "On," the blower should start. Set the room thermostat for the appropriate mode, cooling or heating, and measure the water and air temperatures. In the cooling mode, there should be about a 10°F difference between the entering and leaving water temperatures. The entering and leaving air temperature difference should be about 16 to 20°F.
In the heating mode, there should be a 4 to 8°F difference between the entering and leaving water temperatures. The air temperature difference in heating should be about 25 to 35°F.
Turn the thermostat to a higher heating setting and check to see that the emergency heat, if installed, operates.
Set the thermostat to maintain the desired comfort level.
Perform the following periodic maintenance procedures at the intervals indicated: Inspect the air filters every three months. The frequency of filter charge-outs depends on the type of occupancy. The units should never be operated without filters in place.
Check the condensate pans for proper drainage and algae growth every three months. When algae growth is apparent, consult a specialist for proper chemical treatment. Typically the application of an algaecide every three months will eliminate most problems.
Have the heat pump system serviced at least once a year. This should include a visual inspection, refrigerant leak test, cleaning the evaporator coil, and a check of the compressor amperage, fan and pump motors. Record these values in a log book so a deteriorating condition can be detected before component failure. Repair any deficiencies noted.
The refrigerant cycle should be serviced by a competent technician, preferably one who is factory-trained to service the actual equipment installed. In all cases, reference should be made to the equipment manufacturers' Operating & Maintenance Instructions - a copy of which should remain with the equipment owner or operator. For more detailed information, refer to the manufacturers' Service Instructions.
During the life of the system, emergency service will occasionally be required. Such servicing usually falls into one of three areas:
1. The electrical wiring and controls,
2. The heat pump unit, and
3. The Loop water system.
Electrical problems are the most common cause of emergency service calls. Trouble shooting a suspected electrical problem typically involves taking voltage readings at key points and comparing them to a normal reading. Non-electric service for Loop water systems should start with checking the flow rate and temperature as outlined in the checkout discussion. Leaks, proper pump operation, and scale in the refrigerant-to-water heat exchanger are the primary concerns. Any discrepancies discovered should be remedied before placing the system back in operation.

A Pennsylvania nurse has been arrested and charged with involuntary manslaughter, neglect and falsifying documents in the death of the father of former White House national security adviser H.R. McMaster.
Christann Shyvin Gainey, 30, was taken into custody on Thursday after being accused of falsely claiming to have performed a series of required medical examinations on 84-year-old Herbert R. McMaster Sr. after he fell and hit his head at a senior living facility in Philadelphia, authorities said.
The morning after the April 12 fall at Cathedral Village in Upper Roxborough, McMaster was found dead in a wheelchair. His cause of death was determined to be blunt impact head trauma with a contributing factor of untreated pooling of blood outside his brain, said Pennsylvania Attorney General Josh Shapiro, citing the findings of the Philadelphia chief medical examiner.
Shapiro, while announcing the felony charges at a news conference, said Gainey was required to perform eight neurological checks after the fall as part of the facility's policy. Those checks ― of motor and verbal skills, vital signs and the eyes' response to light ― could have saved his life, he said.
"When a family selects a senior living facility, they do not expect their loved one to be found dead in the lobby of a place that was supposed to be caring for him," Shapiro said in a news release. "This nurse ignored her job responsibilities, falsified paperwork, lied to her supervisors and neglected Mr. McMaster, who died."
Gainey is accused of lying to an assistant nursing director when she was asked if she had performed the required examinations. She also falsely reported that an evaluation had been performed on McMaster's neurological chart, according to a police affidavit obtained by The Associated Press.
A review of surveillance video at the facility concluded that Gainey did not perform a single neurological exam, police said.
Gainey's attorney, Sharon Piper, told the AP that her client intends to plead not guilty to the charges. She declined further comment.
The facility, in a statement posted to its website on Friday, said it has undergone two inspections by the state's Department of Health in recent weeks ― one of which was specific to the April 13 death.
"We have addressed the issues brought to our attention during the first inspection in this way, and will respond in the same prompt and thorough fashion when we receive the official findings of the second inspection," the statement read.
At his news conference, Shapiro emphasized McMaster's high profile, stating that the case "has prominence because of McMaster and his son's service to our country."
McMaster's son had until April served President Donald Trump in the White House.
A statement released by McMaster's family expressed gratitude to the attorney general's office and local authorities.
"Our father, Lieutenant Colonel Herbert R. McMaster (U.S. Army, retired), was a tough and compassionate soldier and public servant," said his daughter, Letitia McMaster. "He was committed to his neighbors, his fellow soldiers, his community and his country. The best way to honor his memory is for all of us to do all we can to prevent others from suffering at the hands of those who lack compassion and abandon even the most basic standards of human decency. Today's charges are an important step forward in that connection."

Zukeran, Patrick | Host of Evidence and Answers Broadcast
In a recent survey, Sociologist George Barna listed the top 6 reasons young people leave the church. Reason #1 was that the Churches seem overprotective. Young people saw that the church's approach to the ideas of the culture was fear-based and risk-averse. Instead of engaging the ideas churches demonize everything outside of the church and avoid the ideas of the culture. Young people want to know if their faith in Christ can stand up to the challenge of opposing ideas. Is your church equipped for this task?

Joshua 5
13 And it came to pass, when Joshua was by Jericho, that he lifted his eyes and looked, and behold, a Man stood opposite him with His sword drawn in His hand. And Joshua went to Him and said to Him, "Are You for us or for our adversaries?"
The Angel of the Lord
The Question of Loyalty
14 So He said, "No, but as Commander of the army of the Lord I have now come." And Joshua fell on his face to the earth and worshiped, and said to Him, "What does my Lord say to His servant?"
15 Then the Commander of the Lord's army said to Joshua, "Take your sandal off your foot, for the place where you stand is holy." And Joshua did so.
The Truly Righteous Allegiance
Standing With and For the Lord of Hosts
Joshua 24
Joshua's Challenge
14 "Now therefore, fear the Lord, serve Him in sincerity and in truth, and put away the gods which your fathers served on the other side of the River and in Egypt. Serve the Lord!
The Choice
15 And if it seems evil to you to serve the Lord, choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve, whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the River, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you dwell. But as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord."
What is your choice?
Are you living a life that contains the sins of you family's traditions and systems?
Are you a captive to the culture around you that is quickly being sucked down into the depths of a swirling maelstrom of judgement and death?
The only right choice, which Joshua had learned from an angel of the Lord just days before, is to stand with and serve the Lord God.
The Promise of the People
16 So the people answered and said: "Far be it from us that we should forsake the Lord to serve other gods; 17 for the Lord our God is He who brought us and our fathers up out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage, who did those great signs in our sight, and preserved us in all the way that we went and among all the people through whom we passed. 18 And the Lord drove out from before us all the people, including the Amorites who dwelt in the land. We also will serve the Lord, for He is our God."
The Impossibility of Holiness
19 But Joshua said to the people, "You cannot serve the Lord, for He is a holy God. He is a jealous God; He will not forgive your transgressions nor your sins. 20 If you forsake the Lord and serve foreign gods, then He will turn and do you harm and consume you, after He has done you good."
Determination in Grace
21 And the people said to Joshua, "No, but we will serve the Lord!"
22 So Joshua said to the people, "You are witnesses against yourselves that you have chosen the Lord for yourselves, to serve Him."
And they said, "We are witnesses!"
The Beginning of Right Living
23 "Now therefore," he said, "put away the foreign gods which are among you, and incline your heart to the Lord God of Israel."
24 And the people said to Joshua, "The Lord our God we will serve, and His voice we will obey!"
The Covenant at Shechem
25 So Joshua made a covenant with the people that day, and made for them a statute and an ordinance in Shechem.

I have been traveling a lot the past few weeks, and I am probably going to be traveling just as much in the future.
However, It has only been recently that I have been forced to fly on Delta Airlines. My prior trips were on United, Continental (now part of United), or Southwest airlines. U and C have their issues, but I can pretty much always count on getting where I want to go when I am supposed to be there, barring any weather issues.
When flying Delta, I can pretty much count on a delay, and may have to have them reschedule me onto a later flight. I have made 8 trips (each with 2 flights to get wherever I am going) and usually one of the flights in each trip is delayed. The interesting part is that I usually find out when I get to the airport to checkin that a flight is delayed.
The real humour here is that Delta has ad campaign going that states that being a big airline doesn't mean that a bad airline. Come again? Have you flown your own flights?
The other issue with Delta is that most of their flight attendants are not the happiest people in the air. I realize that their job is not a position where you are dealing with happy, friendly people all day long, but I usually find that the staff on other airlines are much more friendly. How sad.
I also have noticed that they have started charging for luggage as well. I realize that other airlines are charging these as well, but if you are dealing with image issues, the last thing you want to do, then you really don't want to start raising rates on the same people you are trying to convince to travel with you.
I do have to say that they have been offering a free snack, and that is something that no one else is giving lately. The brand is Biscoff, and it is a tasty cookie with brown sugar in it. Not exactly on my diet, but when you are several thousand feet in the air, you can't be too picky.
At least that is something.

Anyone with a big event to plan needs to be at the Somervell County Expo Center at 11 a.m. Sunday, March 22, for the Bridal Show, with additional exhibits for proms and quincea�eras.
From picking the flowers to selecting the perfect place to say, �I do,� the show will have local vendors on hand to help make that special day one to remember.
A fashion show is set for 3 p.m., debuting the latest trends in wedding gowns, attendant dresses and all types of evening wear.
Susan Ragland, owner of Creations Flowers and Gifts at 1001 NE Big Bend Trail in Glen Rose, has been helping brides and grooms coordinate for the big day and has seen a lot of trends of the years.
�Chocolate is hot. It�s been mixed with purple, Tiffany blue, pink and red,� Ragland said. �I�ve rented more chocolate colored suits (for men) than I ever have before.�
She said a lot of brides are also choosing clean lines and simpler bouquet styles.
�Most brides go for hand tied bouquets with exposed stems,� Ragland said. �I think a lot of the girls, because of the economy crunch, are looking for ways to simplify.�
She also said couples seem to be spending the big money on the reception, where guests spend most of their time at a wedding. And couples aren�t necessarily keeping to older traditions - like expecting the brides� family to foot the bill.
�I�ve noticed there�s been a split - the bride�s family pays for some, the groom�s family pays, and then the bride and groom will pool their money,� Ragland said.
She encourages brides hunting for bargains to start early.
�The sooner you start planning, the better deals you�ll find and you have a better chance of getting what you want,� Ragland said.
She suggests brides start planning their wedding about a year in advance. And the time of year will make a difference as well.
�The trend shift went from spring/summer to fall/winter,� Ragland said. �I don�t think you�ll ever get rid of the spring/summer weddings because a lot of people like to get married outside.�
If you�re still not sure where to start, look for the Glen Rose Wedding Connection booth at the bridal show. The organization includes photographers, cake makers, florists and more.
But the biggest trend of all, according to Ragland -
�Almost anything goes. It just depends on what the bride wants.�

A South African animal welfare worker was brutally assaulted and threatened with death when filming the abuse of donkeys on the Greek island of Santorini.
Luke Barritt, a campaigner for international charity Network for Animals (NFA) was spotted filming the mistreatment and abuse of donkeys when he was attacked by irate donkey owners. These owners exploit donkeys on a daily basis by making them climb a 1000-foot cliff in the baking sun with no food, shade or water.
Barritt was documenting broken promises by the Greek government who last year committed to improving the treatment of donkeys that are used to carry tourists up steep cliffs.
A group of ten people attacked Barritt and Polish cameraman Wiktor Dobraczynski, who were trying to get footage of the abuse. The enraged donkey owners kicked and struck Barritt, driving him to the cliff edge while threatening to throw him over. Dobrazczynski rescued him but was also attacked in the process.
Barritt reported the matter to local police who promised to take action but did not do so.
Now recovering at his home in Cape Town, Barritt said: "The sheer venom of the donkey owners stunned me. They were kicking me and beating me with the same whips they use on the donkeys. It was a truly frightening experience."
"I escaped but the worst thing is that there's no escape for the donkeys. They are forced to climb that cliff from sunrise to sundown. They are not given food or water, so as to not soil the cliff path. The cruelty is horrifying."
Last year, NFA exposed the dreadful treatment of about 100 donkeys in Santorini. As many as 17,000 tourists disembark from giant cruise-ships each day at the base of the cliff. Many of the tourists ride them to the top, and the donkeys become so exhausted that they simply stop walking. Then the owners thrash them with whips.
This shameful cruelty continues, despite last year's guarantees from local authorities that the donkeys would be treated more humanely. A year later, nothing has changed – many of the animals have spinal or limb injuries from the ceaseless, backbreaking toil in extremely hot conditions.
Many aren't even allowed to rest at night – they keep labouring, clearing refuse and transporting goods across the island in service of the hotels and guest houses in Santorini.
"These donkeys are essentially worked to death," said Barritt.
"It's clear that the promised improvements have not been made. It's an utter disgrace and I urge tourists who plan to visit Santorini to think about this cruelty. Refrain from riding donkeys."

Picture from Today's Action:
While the shelters are overcrowded and there is still no after-hours
drop-in for women and trans people in Toronto, the City chose to violently
arrest 5 women rather than open safe space now. The City has acknowledged
that there is a serious issue with the lack of shelter space and need for
the drop-in yet it does nothing. It is cold and will only get colder. More
people will get sick or even die on the streets because of their inaction.
Women are being sexually assaulted on an ongoing basis with no safe space
to go yet bureaucratic stalling has delayed the drop-in that Council
Those arrested have all been released from police custody and are facing
charges of mischief and trespass. They will be in court for first
appearance shortly. More details to follow about supporting those arrested.
The fight for shelter and safe space continues.

Bylaws Change to be Voted on next Month
Our Chapter Election was delayed because we were not in compliance with the bylaws, and our chapter bylaws sections regarding voting for officers and board members differed from MLA's bylaws. Here is a posting by the Bylaws Chair about amendments needed:
Before we can vote on a slate of officers we must amend Article 5. Section 3 of our current bylaws to be in compliance with National MLA Bylaws. The proposed amendment is below and must be available to the membership for the next thirty (30) days before we can vote. The amendment will also be posted on the chapter website. After the 30 days, a link to Survey Monkey will be sent for you to cast your vote. If the vote to amend the bylaws passes, the slate of officers will then be put forth by the Nominating Committee for a vote.
Joanne Jahr
Bylaws Chair
The proposed amended bylaws are:
Article 5: Officers. Section 3. Nominations and Elections
A. The Nominating Committee shall prepare annually a slate of at least one, but more are preferred, nominee(s) for Chair-Elect and for each elective officer whose term expires. Provisions may also be made for other forms of nomination, such as by petition.
B. Ballots shall be distributed to the voting membership by the Nominating Committee at least thirty (30) days prior to the Chapter's Annual Meeting and shall be received by the Chapter Nominating Committee by the date previously announced for counting ballots. Candidates shall be declared elected upon receiving a majority of the votes cast. Where there are more than two candidates, a plurality shall elect. This deadline shall be prior to the last Chapter business meeting of the fiscal year and shall conform to the required date for submittal of results to MLA headquarters.
C. The Nominating Committee shall present a written report of the election results to the Chapter Chair. The Chair of the Nominating Committee shall report the names of the candidates elected, but not the tallies.

Following an extremely positive reaction to our sales and marketing strategy we have had a huge increase in requirement for our services which has resulted in the acquisition of 2 brand new Scania vehicles.
We ultimately decided to purchase Scania trucks as we have always found Scania to be totally reliable, to have excellent functionality and also have extremely good aesthetics, which is very important in our specialist sector.

I would not join killing Julius Caesar because hopefully I would notice that he was helping the poor, and that the poor really liked him. I would also not help kill him because hopefully I would notice that the senators and I were way outnumbered by the plebeians. The last reason I wouldn't help kill him is because I wouldn't feel right killing someone.

I agree because number 1 killing ANYONE is wrong and number 2 is the plebians really seemed to really care for Julius Caesar and finally number 3 is that Julius Caesar was helping the poor and caring for others.

I agree with Nicole, and you make a good point. Rome has conquered a lot of people and when they were conquered Rome didn't just make them rich again. Rome made them poor. The more people they conquered, the more plebeians. That gives the plebeians a chance to turn on the patricians.
11/10/2016 11:55:36 am
I agree because if I were a patrician than I would think that 1. they outnumber us and 2. We have a whole ton of money we don't need so much more that they can't have some. So I think that was a good answer Luke.Good Job👏🏻👍🏻👌🏻

I agree with you, if I was a patrician I would want an new ruler but not kill him. Hopefully I would know that was wrong.

I Agree. Just because he wasn't helping the patriciansat the time, doesn't mean he was just let the patricians die.He was going to help them but he needed to help out the plebeians as well. I think that the patricians were just jealous.
Madisyn G
11/14/2016 04:21:53 am
I agree with Julien, I don't think he forgot the Patricians he just realized the Plebians needed more from him so he did that. But unfortunately the Patricians thought differently.

I would not kill julius ceasar because he helped the plebains and payed the soldiers and was really caring to the people. In my opinion the patritans didnt understand how caring julius ceasar was,in conclusion i would not kill julius ceasar.

I would not kill Julius Caesar since he was helping the poor and was a good military commander, so if I killed him, I would be hated by everyone except the rich. Though if Julius had not died, Octavian would not war with Marc Antony and Cleopatra and conquer Egypt. That would not happen since the 2nd triumvirate would not have formed because their priority was to hunt down and kill the killers of Julius, but I would still not kill him since I would be hunted and killed.
Nicole P.
11/9/2016 11:17:16 am
I agree, it wouldn't have happened but, maybe it would have changed for the better or for the worse. You never really know which one, you would have to take that change if you want to stop something that would alter history.
jordan r

i agree with Emmanuel he was a great commander.i dont want to be hated if i did i would just give my self up and pay for more horrible crime.

I agree with you because he was helping the poor and I think your a good person by helping the poor. I also agree on not killing him because I would not want to be hunted and killed.

You can think of this two ways as a selfish senator or a good-hearted senator that believes everyone is equal. As a selfish senator I would probably kill Caeser. Why? Because I would be afraid of loosing my power and the money. But, as a good senator I would not kill Caeser. By helping plebians with all the money he had, and the god like status he had, would have just made a job as a senator easier. I would definitely appreciate (especially if I was a plebian) a man with that much power to take the time to care for those in need. Personally, I wouldn't kill Caeser because he was just a very nice man and no one deserves to be killed just because of selfish reasons.
Mr. Kaciuba
11/14/2016 05:18:02 am
I guess I'm just the crazy one here! I think the senators should have killed Caesar. He was destroying the republic. The govt. was set up a specific way and there were laws to protect it. The fear most Romans had at the time was one person gaining to much power and becoming a king like Tarquin. That is why there are 2 consuls and they each could have power for only 1 year. Caesar destroyed all of that. He became "Dictator for life." What if he was just helping out the poor to gain popularity and once he had the power he would have begun to abuse the power? Now murder is never right. But what if President Elect Trump declares himself President for life? How would you feel then?
John M
11/9/2016 06:30:21 pm
I would kill Julius Caesar because if I was a Senator. I would be saying "why is he helping the poor by giving them and not helping the plubeians." I also would be thinking "he is ruining the Republic." So if they were gathering people to go kill Julius I would go join and come out to be a hero. But then the all got killed because they were not hero's they were villains.
Yasmin O.
11/9/2016 07:29:33 pm
I disagree, I see your point ,but you would get tortured or killed. Plus if you just told Caesar about the situation maybe would understand and help you out. You can also get a job instead of the plebians doing all the work because it's nice to help out because afterwards you feel good about yourself.
Ethan Mattison
11/10/2016 08:32:47 am
I disagree with killing him because he wanted to make Rome better. You would have to choose whether to risk to try to be a hero or play it safe and don´t get involved. Risking it resulted in execution. It is really just the mindset you have as a senate.
Yasmin O.
11/9/2016 07:21:17 pm
I would not kill Julius Caesar because I know I would get punished for killing him. I also would know that Julius Caesar helped out the plebians so they cared about him and appreciated him and so they would be angry at the rich. Plus not killing Caesar makes me a good person and if I stood up for him and not let the rest kill him I would become maybe almost as popular as Caesar. If the rich told Caesar that they felt like they were not getting enough money maybe Caesar would have come around and understands them. I wouldn't kill Caesar ever if life depended on it.
Luke P
11/10/2016 06:34:48 pm
I agree with Yasmin, I would not kill Caesar because he was being a good person and helping out the poor. Even if it did anger the rich they most likely could have talked to him and maybe he would have understood them. I would never kill someone because I know it is against the law and I could suffer extreme consequences later down the road.
Ethan Mattison
11/10/2016 08:24:30 am
I would not kill Julius Caesar because if I were to know the consequences down the road, I would realize I´d be killed. Also because he tried to better Rome as a whole. The patricians were already rich and powerful. He just wanted to balance the power between the plebeians and patricians. So no, I would not kill Julius Caesar
Emmanuel Z
11/11/2016 01:16:20 pm
I agree Ethan because if the senators knew they were going to be tortured and killed, they would not kill Julius Caesar. I also agree with the point about the plebeians and patricians since plebeians had very little power, and Julius Caesar helped them.
Isabella H
11/10/2016 11:54:22 am
I would not kill Julius Ceasar because if all the people like him and I kill him then some of those people will not like me. He also helped the poor which is good because they didn´t get much. He is a good general so I would not want to kill someone who helps us with our army and is good at it.
11/10/2016 12:09:00 pm
I agree I wouldn't kill Julius Ceasar. I wouldn't kill him because everyone likes him. I also wouldn't kill him because the community would try to executed.Also i have no reason to hate him.
Luke P
11/10/2016 06:29:11 pm
As a senator I would be torn with the decision about killing Julius Caesar. I would not want to kill him because he was making all of the plebeians happy by helping the poor but that made the rich mad. He also was an outstanding military general which would make Rome even stronger. If I did not kill him all of the patricians would be mad because someone he ruled was someone he actually cared about the poor. On the other hand, if I did kill him I would make all of the plebeians mad and then I could face the consequence of getting killed. Either way with my decision I would not want to make anyone mad.
Melle S.
11/12/2016 11:50:26 am
Luke I do agree that it is a hard decision. Though I think you would want to not kill Julius Caesar, because of the plebeians. If you killed him they would get angry and you would probably have to run from getting killed like the other senators. If you do not kill him though, you would have the plebeians go with you instead of against you. You would be seen as a good senator for not killing Julius Caesar.
Melle S.
11/12/2016 12:52:29 pm
I would not want to join stabbing Julius Caesar. Stabbing a man you have worked with is first of all wrong. Also I would not want to get hunt down by the people of the empire I once lived in. I would also not want to stab Julius Caesar, because if I did not stab Caesar I could be thanked for not stabbing him and may hold a high status in the senate. Also if I had tried to even try to stop them from stabbing Caesar and he had lived a probably would have gotten a huge reward for saving his life. Stabbing Caesar would have caused me to risk my position in the senate and having to live with that burden. No joining is more logical and safer then trying to stab Julius Caesar.
Madisyn G
11/14/2016 04:28:28 am
If I had the choice I would not stab Julius Caesar. I wouldn't stab him because even if he wasn't thinking of the Patricians, he was helping out the poor Plebians which needed more from him. He also deserved the right for dictator for like, Julius was great in the military and also defeated one of Rome's most feared enemies. But, then again sincemost of the other Senators disliked him, I think they would disagree and still end up stabbing him.

- Description / Features / Spec
ETI Stainless Steel ThermaData Logger (without Probe)
The new stainless steel ThermaData Logger from ETI is ideal for use in food, pharmaceutical and other applications where a high temperature data logger is required. Housed in a water resistant, food grade 316 stainless steel case, the temperature data logger is protected against corrosion impact and moisture (IP67).
The ThermaData logger software allows the user to programme the logging sample/interval rate (1 to 255 minute), the real-time clock, °C/°F, delayed start (maximum 23 hours, 59 minutes) and a 12-character user ID. The software also features a password protected calibration adjustment facility, allowing the user to check calibration of loggers and make minor adjustments 0.5 °C (±3 °C).
Users of this high temperature data logger have the option to select continuous logging in the software options, making it possible to start the ThermaData logger only once without ever having to reset its parameters again, even if downloaded regularly. Unlike most low cost temperature data loggers, the ThermaData logger will continue to record during and after downloading data.
This version of the ThermaData logger does not include a probe (probe Ø3.3 x 50 mm), although the probe version is available on request. Each logger is also supplied with ThermaData logger software and a two metre USB lead.
ThermaData Logger PC Software
The temperature data logger from ETI can be connected to a PC via the internal USB connector or using a separate USB lead which is supplied with the product. Data can be downloaded and displayed either as a graph, table or summary by selecting relevant on-screen icons. The software also allows the user to set high and low alarm values for a specific application; information can then be analysed by zooming in, storing to disk or exporting to other software packages.
USB Connection Point
The USB port can be accessed by simply removing the end cap on the stainless steel data logger. The USB port allows the user to connect the data logger to a PC and upload any collected data.
Industries which would possibly use data-loggers include food processing, agriculture, laboratories, refrigeration, environmental, logistics, museums and archives and medical industries. This may be for reasons such as helping to save costs, ensure quality of products, processes or research and also to comply with legislation.
Data-loggers may offer organisations a method of complying with food industry legislation. They may also verify conditions within transportation vehicles during shipping have been maintained within the specified levels.
Monitoring an environment can help organisations ensure that HVAC systems are used to the optimum, keeping energy use to a minimum and therefore saving money.

Internship Diaries
Well, I must say I did not choose Capgemini, it was Capgemini that chose me out of 100 students who applied for the company. Capgemini is one of the biggest giants in IT sector. It is highly rated as one of the best companies to work for in the field of Information Technology. It was a tough competition. Out of 100 people who had applied, 35 were shortlisted after the CV screening, post which we had a very interactive Group discussion. From the final 15 shortlisted candidates who appeared for the Interview, 5 students were finally offered the summer internship programme (2015-2016).
The programme was designed in a well-organized structured way. My project was divided into two parts wherein in the first month I was given the responsibility to analyse and develop a framework for their centre of excellence for manufacturing and in the second month, I had to find out process improvement in the on-going business activity.
In my first project to develop a framework for Centre of Excellence team was a rigours task as I had to understand the business not only from a technical but also from the business standpoint. The company was interested in understanding the scalability of investing in next generation infotainment which is a new technology. I discussed with people within and outside the organisation and presented the company with a road map for the next 15 years to be followed so that they remain industry viable.
My second project was on the process improvement for Capgemini for on-going activities, I presented them with two solutions which got me appreciations from various top management people. Post the projects, only a few of the Interns were selected to give a final presentation to the senior management consisting of VPs, director and departmental heads. My work got me accolades and thus I landed up with the Pre-placement offer by Capgemini.
My typical day would start around 9 AM. After valiantly making through the Bengaluru traffic, I would reach the office at Prestige Shantiniketan. My mentor would set weekly action items to be performed by me. He was very helpful and patiently addressed all my doubts and queries. Every Wednesday and Friday were reserved for the standup meetings which would address the status of work, discussion on the challenges faced and requirement of any management support, which helped in developing a healthy communication and brought quality to my work. The day would end by 6:15 pm.
During my exposure, I not only learnt Time management but also the negotiation and communication skills. But the one thing which would stay with me is that to be successful you will have to Learn-Unlearn-Relearn. All in all, I believe that my summer internship in Capgemini greatly helped me understand the concepts taught in class and it was definitely a very big learning experience for me.

Getting prices from APIs like Zanox, Rakuten Linkshare, etc, often returns old prices because it depends on data uploaded by merchants. Flash sales are not tracked in real time. Also, there are networks not known by Content Egg. My suggestion: allow live price scraping as an option (along with the current method). CSS selectors or Xpath are used to locate the price HTML element. Put URL for direct scraping the price, and another URL field to be clicked (if like to use affiliate links like Zanox, etc). Adding this feature as option, we can decide if want use Content Egg prices or real time scraped prices.
There are several WordPress plugins for web scraping/web crawling that can be studied and implemented. The most complete I know is Wiseloop Web Grabber which has option for setting cache time, removing unwanted tags from content, etc. Web Grabber can be used for any content type and not use iframes. Scraped data are parsed as real HTML.
Hope I made myself clear!
Please, feel free to contact me.
Thanks! Eric

This is already made in Affiliate Egg plugin https://wpsoul.com/affiliate-egg-deal/
Hi! It seems Affiliate Egg only works with specific stores which have been mapped by developers, right?
What I'm suggesting is a "universal" solution for live price scraping, so I could use with brazilian stores.
WordPress Price Comparison Pro Plugin is a perfect example, but it's too expensive for me.
Please, take a look.
Your link is very bad example, it just adds additional fields for manual adding of prices. It's not real price grabber and not price updater.
You need to use Content Egg. There are many supported affiliate aggregators in Content Egg, like Zanox, CJ, Shareasale, Linkshare and others.
This is example how to use it with Woocommerce https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5-9B69fLa24
This is how to use with Posts https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TZOZ9Hvhp3E
Hey! No, Please, look carefully, also the video. This plugin adds URLs fields for user inform from where the plugin will fetch the price from different stores and keep tracking them. Additionally, the user may inform the HTML element (CSS selector) which the website uses for prices, but this is done once and only if the plugin can't find itself.
The Egg family is great, but limitation is that they only work for specific websites mapped by factory. I would like Affiliate/Content Egg could grab live prices from local websites, like here in Brazil. WordPress Price Comparison Pro can fetch live prices from local websites, please take a look again. This would be a nice feature for future Rehub/EGGs update.
- Ok. I will write this to developers
- You must login to post comments
This would be a really great idea and much wanted by us as users of the ReHub theme.

Depending on your property and the location it is in, whether commercial or residential, a trench drain may be necessary to prevent damage from spills or excessive rain. If you have locations on your property that water tends to build up, you should consider a trench drain. It will help you avoid the overtime impact that erosion can have when left unchecked.
Benefits of Trench Drain Installation
The installation of a trench drain can ensure the protection of the interior and exterior of your home. The layout of your home could cause water to pool, saturating the ground and damaging the foundation of your house. However, our professional trench drain installers at MT Drains & Plumbing know how to construct and select the location to put the trench drain to fix these problems.
1. Improved Air Quality
A proper trench drain can help improve the air quality of your home. When water flows into the basement through the foundation of your house, it can cause mildew and mold to build up inside your living room. This can result in numerous health issues such as respiratory problems and allergies. By relying on our plumbers, you can be sure that your air will be clean of these contaminants.
2. No Obstructions
Professional trench drain installation ensures drains are beneath the ground and are invisible. Our goal is to ensure that the product is effective without standing out wherever it may be installed. When this is done professionally, it makes sure that your space is kept neat and free of any unwanted waste.
3. Application Locations
Proper trench drain installation and connection to a detention tank can alleviate problems in locations ranging from yards, garages, driveways, and basement entrances. By protecting these areas of your home, you will be increasing your properties' value.
Trench Drain Cleaning
By keeping your trench drain clean, through regular professional cleaning, it will ensure that no visible build up occurs or result in worse problems. Our professionals know how to keep your drain clean or remove any unexpected clogs. It is important to have someone do the task professional so that the problem does not persist. Our trench drain cleaners know precisely how to clean your system so it functions better than before.
