My tips to reduce the probability of getting CTDs with Stalker mods in general :
- Always use latest patches/updates
- Avoid quick-saves, instead try "hard-saves" (via game menu)
- Avoid "Overloading" your game with too much active missions , always focus on finishing'em first
- If you don't have a SSD drive , always defrag your game/HDD for smooth & fast experience
- Better deactivate your antivirus while playing offline
- From time to time , use one of "trusty" optimizer softwares
- From tie to time , scan your System for viruses, malwares...
- Ignorance is your first enemy : Before trying anything ,that you don't know how it works, ask "trustworthy" people about best methods ,tips & hints.
- Avoid "suspicious" mods , download mods , ONLY from authentic sites like moddb.com ..etc
- Always make sure that you're using the right patch with the right mod: some mods use only compatible versions & patches
- Steam & Gog.com versions are not 100% compatible with some of Stalker mods : Yoctosfera included
- When you uninstall/install games/mods , make sure that you know exactly what are you doing : always make it accurate,clean , professional & especially make everything in order !
- You must understand that STALKER engine (X-ray) is not the most powerful engine on the market , respect that fact : it's not the most stable nor the most perfect
- You must know the limits of your rigs , don't be too hard on your PC/laptop

This is section three of my multi-part series dedicated to laying out a blueprint for the New York Jets this offseason. It is essentially a blueprint of what I would do if I were in Joe Douglas's shoes. Most moves are realistic, but keep in mind; there is A LOT of offseason to go. Part three is devoted to the "dawgs†the Jets should bring in during free agency.
Estimated Cap After Resigning Players & Cuts: $47,317,397
Joe Thuney G
Estimated Deal: $14 million a year for five years
Thuney is one of the best guards in football. He hasn't missed a single game in his career, and he's been one of the most efficient offensive linemen. Thuney is going to command BIG money, but that's what you have to pay to get the best. Douglas needs to splurge and get a beast to pair with Alex Lewis on this offensive line. This would be a phenomenal move.
Ronald Darby CB
Estimated Deal: $5 million a year for two years
Darby was a very talented corner for the Eagles, but he had an awful campaign last year. He still has potential mainly because he played banged up most of last year, and in a Gregg Williams defense, Darby should be successful. Offensive line was prioritized, so the Jets subsequently miss out on Bradberry and Jones in this scenario, but the low-cost option in Darby is a good one.
Vic Beasley EDGE
Estimated Deal: $7.5 million a year for three years
Beasley is an underrated productive edge rusher. In his career, he's had 37.5 sacks. He had eight sacks last season, and he is a major Swiss Army knife that Gregg Williams would love to have. Adding two low-cost, efficient players in Darby and Beasley immediately improves the defense. Pairing Beasley with Jenkins could be the edge-rushing answer for the short term.
Demarcus Robinson WR
Estimated Deal: $4 million a year for two years
Robinson can be a cheap asset for this team, and he allows for draft flexibility. Robinson would be able to slot in with Crowder, Doctson, and likely two draft picks and immediately become a vital piece of the offense. Gase would be able to have fun with a young receiver like Robinson, who is a dynamic playmaker.
Halapoulivaati Vaitai OL
Estimated Deal: $9.5 million a year for four years
Vaitai is an underrated value signing that I would be ecstatic for. Vaitai is a Super Bowl Champion who filled in admirably for Jason Peters in the past. Vaitai is versatile and has a connection to Douglas. By signing Vaitai, you add a starting-caliber lineman who can play wherever. Adding a guy like him makes Beachum less important and nearly expendable. Beachum could be a reliable mentor at left tackle for a rookie and excellent backup. Overall, Vaitai and Thuney immediately makes the offensive line more suitable for Sam Darnold. With the two of them, Alex Lewis, Chuma Edoga, and Kelvin Beachum, the Jets have a solid offensive line before the draft, where I plan to try to add two more linemen. This eases pressure, however, and makes offensive line less prioritized.
EDIT: Kelvin Beachum resigning becomes unnecessary, but in this case, I worked it into the team as depth.
This would be a great free agency for the Jets. They would add two great offensive linemen and three low risk/high reward players. All of these moves lead up to the big event… the Draft.

The defending PEI men's champion Eddie MacKenzie rink doubled their Charlottetown clubmates, the Tyler Smith squad, who are PEI's Junior men's champs, by a 6-3 score this afternoon at the Western Community Curling Club in Alberton to capture the "B" qualifier in the modified triple knockout PEI Tankard. The John Likely rink who list Charlottetown and Western as their clubs, won the "A" qualifier on Monday. In this afternoon's match, MacKenzie opened with a deuce and had a 3-0 lead after 4 ends. Smith rebounded with singles in the next three ends to tie the game at 3-all after seven ends. Mackenzie took a single in eight and stole a deuce in the 10th end for the win.

In other games, the Darren Higgins rink staved off elimination with a 10-4 win over Silver Fox clubmate Jamie Newson with a convincing 10-4 win in eight ends, but play has ended for Newson and also for their clubmate Steve vanOuwerkerk after picking up his third loss, 8-6 to A qualifier Likely.
The "C" semi-finals take place at 9 am on Saturday, with Higgins taking on Tyler Smith, and Likely battling MacKenzie in a rematch of last year's final. The "C" Qualifier final goes at 7 pm Saturday, with the championship round set for Sunday at 9 am and, if needed, 2 pm.
Meanwhile, the Scotties "B" Qualifier winner will be decided in the 7 pm Friday draw, with Sarah Fullerton taking on Veronica Smith, who will be looking to capture her 2nd qualifier.

WATCH: Dave Roberts Nonchalantly Roasts Reporter After Walk-off
The Dodgers won in walk-off fashion on Saturday night, courtesy of Corey Seager's double.
Postgame, while Dave Roberts was fielding the usual questions as he would every other night, a reporter made a mistake while asking his question and Dave Roberts calmly roasted him with his response.
The reporter pointed out that all four of the Dodgers' walk-offs this season have been at home.
Reporter to Dave Roberts: "I think all four of your walk-offs have been at home…." pic.twitter.com/vlIIT2biaH
— Ryan Walton (@RyanCPWalton) June 11, 2017
For those of you that might have missed it, walk-offs can only occur at home as there is no possible way for the road team to walk-off due to the home team always receiving the last at-bat when they are tied or losing.
Only Dave Roberts could provide this sort of humor for us.

Making our home in Tuscany: How it's going
As some of you know, we recently bought and renovated our first home — right out of lockdown in 2020 — in the place my husband Marco was born, San Miniato. It's a hill top village between Florence and Pisa, and equidistant to Siena, San Gimignano, Livorno (the sea! The fish market!), Lucca and Pistoia. It's really in the heart of everything. From the large windows of our home, a 100 square metre apartment that was built in... Read More
My favourite kitchen items
I like a good list, and particularly ones about kitchen items. There are some good lists out there on what essentials you should keep in the kitchen. Like this one from Food52 and especially this one by Rachel Roddy in The Guardian. I think partly I like them so I can fantasise about what I will have in my kitchen, one day, when I actually own one. And partly I like to "peek" into other people's kitchens and find out their habits... Read More

Jamie aged 14 months was brought to see me by his mother a few months ago. Mum told me that he has had an itchy rash since he was two months old. This got progressively worse when she weaned him from the breast on to a cows milk formula when he was three months old. He had had numerous treatments since then, including 1% hydrocortisone cream, aqueous cream as a moisturiser, and various dietary restrictions, including being put on a Soya-based formula without success. By the time she brought him to see me, he had an extensive eczematous rash particularly involving the flexures of his elbows, knees and around his neck. The rash had become weepy and crusty, particularly on his face and wrists. He was irritable, particularly at night, and was keeping the whole family awake. His parents were at their wits end and had resorted to homeopathy, herbal creams and "allergy testing" in their local health food store without any success.
By the time I saw him it was quite obvious he had extensive, quite severe atopic eczema. I explained to his parents that eczema is usually dry and itchy and when it becomes wet and sore it is usually a sign that there is a superimposed bacterial infection. I explained that nothing would work on the eczema until the infection is cleared. Therefore the first line of treatment was to put him on a broad-spectrum oral antibiotic for at least 7 to 10 days. We choose Flucloxycillin, as he was not allergic to penicillin. I also prescribed Fucidin H cream which would have the dual effect of helping to clear the infection and calming the itch. I reassured his parents that this contained 1% hydrocortisone, which was quite safe to put on any part of the body, including the face, once or twice a day. I also recommended Oilatum Plus bath emollient, which would help moisturise the skin and clear infection. I warned them not to put anything else into the bath water. I instructed them to wash his skin and hair only with a suitable soap substitute, such as Emulave wash.
I explained that as the infection cleared the skin would become dry and itchy. They would therefore need a good moisturiser. I told them that the greasier the moisturiser the better, but it should also be free of any unnecessary added ingredients such as colourings, perfumes and preservatives. I explained that aqueous cream is not a suitable moisturiser for children. It was designed primarily as a soap substitute, which should be washed off after use. There seems to be a high incidence of allergic contact dermatitis to aqueous cream in children with atopic eczema. I therefore recommended that they use either emulsifying ointment or paraffin gel as suitable moisturisers, which are cheap, effective, and available in most pharmacies.
When I reviewed Jamie two weeks later, there was a dramatic improvement in his skin. His rash was no longer weepy, and was much less extensive. However, he was still scratching a lot, particularly on his wrists and face. I discussed with his parents any possible allergic triggers. We decided to put him on a casein-hydrolate formula instead of the soya-milk as many children with atopic eczema who are allergic to cow's milk also become allergic to soya. I reassured them that a casein-hydrolate formula such as Nutrilon Pepti is nutritionally complete and fortified with extra calcium and iron. I advised them to avoid all dairy and all soya products, including cheese, yoghurt, ice cream, and spreads for six weeks. I explained that after this time we might reintroduce cows milk protein gradually into his diet. This strict exclusion followed by a gradual reintroduction of the suspected fluid is probably the best allergy test. However, I also took blood for a IgE and RAST test which can sometimes help to identify allergic triggers, including foods, pollen, animal dander and house dust mite.
I stressed the importance of regular moisturising with the paraffin gel, which his parents found easier to use than the emulsifying ointment. I also recommended mittens at night to try to minimise the amount of scratching he does in his sleep. I explained that they should avoid bringing him into the family bed at night, as this would cause him to overheat and become even more itchy.
I discussed other treatment options, including using a moderately potent topical steroid on the body, and new treatments such as Protopic. Although they were very nervous about using topical steroids, I reassured them that under medical supervision, moderate potency topical steroids are very safe to use, even on young children, provided they are not put on the face. We decided to use Eumovate ointment to the affected areas of the body and 1% hydrocortisone ointment to be used on the affected areas of the face, as I felt he no longer needed the topical antibiotic in Fucidin H cream. I warned them to ensure they get ointments rather than creams at this stage, as they are safer and more effective in treating chronic atopic eczema. I explained that once-daily applications to the affected areas were probably as effective as twice-daily applications. If they put the topical steroids on at night going to bed to the badly affected areas then they could moisturise all over in the morning, and again after an oily bath in the evening.
I reviewed Jamie a month later, and although his rash was improved, he was still scratching his wrists, ankles, and face, particularly at night. I felt at this stage we should reintroduce cows milk protein by giving him a teaspoon full of milk the first day, and an eggcup full of milk the second day. They could then gradually increase the milk until he was taking a pint of milk a day by the end of the week. If his skin did not flare up by the end of the week then they could safely assume that he did not have any cows milk protein allergy. However, if he got a bad flare-up of his atopic eczema and there was no other obvious cause, then he would need to stay off all dairy produce for at least one year, before doing another milk challenge at that stage.
I explained that I felt the 1% hydrocortisone ointment was not strong enough to control the rash on his face. Neither was the Eumovate giving sufficient relief from the itch on his ankles and wrists. We therefore decided to try him on Protopic. I explained that this is not licensed in children under two, but there was a lot of experience in using this novel new compound on small children in the United States and Japan, where it has been on the market for almost five years. I explained that Protopic comes in two strengths, but in America most paediatric dermatologists use the more potent strength, even in young children, as it seems to be more effective, yet equally safe. I explained to his parents that the Protopic should be applied to all the affected areas including the face, twice a day for three weeks, and then once a day after that to maintain the improvement. I warned them they might notice an initial reddening of the skin where the Protopic is applied in the first week. This is not an indication of an allergic reaction. The redness usually settles in the second and third week as the eczema resolves.
When I reviewed Jamie six weeks later, they were delighted to report that they had no sleepless nights for the past month. Jamie's skin was almost completely cleared using Protopic once at night and paraffin gel twice a day. He was back on cows' milk without any problems. They had got a new mattress for his cot and removed the carpet and all stuffed toys from his bedroom, as he had shown a positive reaction to house dust mite on RAST testing. They also got rid of the family cat and were planning to get a gold fish instead. I reassured them that most kids with atopic eczema improve and finally grow out of their rash as they get older. I referred them back to their family Doctor with a detailed report outlining ongoing management. I arranged to see them twice a year for as long as he needed Protopic to monitor his progress.
Jamie's mother was pregnant when I last saw her, and she agreed to get proper medical advice from a skin specialist should her new baby develop atopic eczema which cannot be managed by her GP.

July 2020 Astrology
Saturn, Pluto, Jupiter, and Pallas continue to travel together in the sky, in retrograde motion, through the late degrees of Capricorn, until October. The Full Moon and Lunar eclipse of July 4 also happens in conjunction to this energy, with Jupiter and Pluto sitting at the exact same degree in the sky. This is an intense time! I will refer to it as "The Big Five" as each person will feel this energy a little bit differently. This is the third eclipse this month and eclipse energy propels for about six months. Mercury is also retrograde in the sky, travelling close to the sun in Cancer until July 12. Venus is now rising as the morning star.
Several major alignments happen (again) this month which is so huge that it's nearly impossible to write about/predict. The big energy planets: Saturn, Pluto and Jupiter are causing this time on earth. On July 13/14 the Sun opposes Jupiter, July 15 the Sun opposes Pluto and July 20, the Sun opposes Saturn with a new moon (so the moon is also opposite Saturn).
There is a massive portal with cleansing and purification. Virtue is very important, as well as faith.
Individual character is your theme! Polarity between home life and career is intensified for you and many aspects of work and the career will be revisited with a wide range of potentials, including completion. What matters is that you express yourself to the outside world the way you believe yourself to be.
The first two weeks of the month are best spent in a meditative place as lots of wisdom will be available to you, which is then best communicated to others. Pay attention to your dreams. You can even ask your subconscious questions you wish to know.
The first three weeks are polarized into two of your heavier zodiac houses: security which means home, and income and "The Big Five" sit in the arena of deep transformation. This is a clearing and purification time for you. Cord-cutting and energetic cleansing is recommended.
Happy birthday Cancer. Your biggest focus is on yourself, with the polarization of "The Big Five" occurring in your house of partnership. It's you vs the other with your sense of self based on this interaction this month. It has a capacity to be many things: happy and expansive and also dark and restrictive. There is a sense of completion.
This is an inward time for you with your physical health a top priority. Routine is important. Are you feeling aligned in how you use your time? Your job/career might change. You have an internal push for extra education and wisdom and will feel more like your sunshine-self after July 22. Happy birthday.
Focus on groups of people/friends and the community, balanced with energy toward your partnership. It will be an inward and meditative time for you towards the end of the month. "The Big Five" for you occurs in your arena of fun and creativity, expression of self, romance and children.
Communication at your job/career is a focus however miscommunication can occur when Mercury is retrograde so this is important to note. The third week of July is best to communicate clearly and by the last week, there will be more focus on groups of friends and the community. Lots of energy is in your home sphere, where "The Big Five" sit.
A lot of physical fitness and a good health routine is recommended this month. "The Big Five" occur in your House Three of Communication so there is a lot of energy around how you communicate, your words are powerful. Good supportive energy occurs in your job/career towards the end of the month.
The Big Five" energy sits with your finances and security, which is typically the home, bank account, and investments. The next six months are a good time to make the moves you need to with regards to these places. Creativity is a good outlet for you this month.
The planet energy is really on your sense of self and your truth: any part of you that is not truly "you" is being peeled away over the next six months and it may feel very vulnerable. Your partnership and your home are the best places to spend your energy.
A theme of routine, with a focus on communication is where the planets sit for you. Your deep subconscious is communicating strongly which often is in the dream world. You are highly intuitive at this time.
Your group of friends or community might be changing at this time and your energy is spent wisely focused on building your own security while also having fun and being creative. Work and routine will become important in your life towards the end of the month.

One other option is to utilize flexible piping or drill pipe that is connected to the bottom of the piers. These flexible pipes are then installed just below the surface of the ground in appropriate places. In addition to the installation of the piers themselves, you may also want to install a waterproof barrier at the top of the foundation piers. By doing this you will reduce the chances of water seeping into your basement and causing damage to your walls. A waterproof liner can be very effective at reducing the chances of seepage.
There are a number of different types of foundation piers to choose from, including different types of steel pipe and different types of concrete. When deciding which type of foundation pier you want to use on your home, you need to first take a look at the location of where you are planning on placing it. If you are unsure, then it's a good idea to hire a professional contractor to come out and take a look at your basement to get an estimate. Remember, sometimes it's better to have an estimate than to make a mistake and spend a lot of money fixing something that shouldn't have been fixed in the first place. Also, it's important to remember that different types of steel pipe will hold different amounts of weight.
The two most popular types of foundation piers that you will find on the market are straight-shaft end-bearing piers and differential end-bearing piers. These are the two types of piers that you will find used on a daily basis. There are also plate and tub piers available if you need additional structure for supporting heavy concrete slabs or other heavier materials. Now that you know what each type of pier is, it's time to learn how these work.
Drainage pipes need the right kind of service team working on them. When you need to speak with a company about pipes for drainage, make sure you give our company a call. We have worked with all kinds of products in the past. Including French drainpipes. We are known for foundation repair in San Antonio, Texas and we are also known for mud jacking and drainage. No matter what the situation is, you are going to be able to count on our team. Even if there is a corrugated drainpipe, our team is going to be able to provide you with a solution that you can count on.
A sump pump is an industrial-type appliance typically designed to pump out water from a lower level, usually basement, to an upper area, usually a house or storage building. Homeowners are very familiar with sump pumps, however, in the broader context of preventing flooding in case of extreme weather, very high water levels in low-level areas, or other related reasons. The sump pump, which is powered by electricity, functions by pumping out water that has accumulated in a basement. The water usually comes from a main sewer line or a septic tank, but can also come from rainwater or may be from ground water. Though not required, it is advisable to install a sump pump in order to avoid flooding.
Sump pumps are often installed in houses, because they are cost-effective and easy to install. They are available in various models, such as in-ground, submersible, and above-ground. Sump pumps have varying capacities and effects on the level of water present in the tank. For instance, in-ground sump pumps remove water entirely and don't release any water to the surface, while submersible ones float on the surface and do not remove water.
Before starting the process of sump pump installation near me, you should make sure that there are no obstructions on the basement floor or walls. Check the location where the sump pump will be placed and see if there is any debris that will be placed inside the discharge line. Some materials such as dry leaves, sticks, and dry mold may cause the system to malfunction. You can use a camera to determine where the debris is located. Once you have established that there is no debris in the discharge line, the next step of the installation process is to secure the walls and floor with rebar or heavy duty cable.
Most homeowners prefer using steel pipes for sump pumps, since these can be easily removed for regular maintenance. However, some homeowners may choose the unsealed polyethylene pipes for easier removal and cleaning. Another advantage of using steel pipes is that they can be used for both interior and exterior applications. Before starting the installation process, you should turn off the electricity supply to prevent any accidents during the installation process. Before removing the piping from the wall or floor, you should consult the manufacturer's instruction manual to ensure proper placement and design.
After the pipes have been installed, you should check if they are connected to the sump pumps correctly. Check the resistance of the pipe joints and also look at the flow of water through the pipe joints to determine whether there is leakage. If any of the pipes are showing signs of damage, they should be replaced immediately. Also, you should not delay in replacing damaged pipes until after the flooding has completely stopped.
Next, you should install the safety float that is recommended for each individual unit. The safety float should be installed in a pit with at least two inches of water between the pit and the nearest sump pump. The float is usually secured at the bottom of the pit by means of a metal collar or clamp. It is important to place the safety float in a position that will protect the surrounding area from damage. In case of a leak, you should immediately replace the float so that the water can flow out of the pit safely.
Installing the sump pumps should be done only after all the items that are damaged are removed from the basement. It is important to leave the damaged items on the floor and wait for them to dry before installing the safety float. Make sure that the waterproofing membrane is properly installed in the pit before using it.
Installing a sump pump may require a contractor. The cost is approximately three hundred dollars per foot of drain and approximately two to three feet of pit liner. A layer of wood core board between the liner and the pit is ideal so that water cannot seep through the liner. Once the pit liner is installed, you should pour a layer of insulating material over the liner so that heat and cold water cannot seep through. Finally, the floor and surrounding foundation should be sealed tightly and a plastic watertight liner should be installed over the floor.
The basement at a property needs to be properly constructed, and when there are repair or remodeling services that need to be completed, the workers need to know what they are doing there are many different contracting teams around that are available for this kind of work. If you want reliable and effective services though, you need to turn to professionals that know what they are doing. The team that you can trust with this kind of work is our team. We have worked on many different properties and basement projects in the past. We know what we are going, and we are going to be able to provide you with a reliable outcome that you can count on.
Basement cracks that are caused by soil movement are often a bit more difficult to repair. For these situations you will most likely need a specialized basement repair contractor.
One of the first things they will do is take a complete soil sample and map out any possible places where soil can break loose. Once they have determined where the potential cracking is, they will likely need to cut out or shave down portions of the concrete floor to get to the area where the crack is. This type of repair is known as shrinkage repair. Another problem basement owners face is settling. This is another situation that can be very complex and expensive if left untreated. Basically when water gets into cracks it starts to expand until the whole area starts to collapse in on itself. In order to avoid this happening, homeowners need to take several steps to stop water from getting into the basement floor and causing foundation problems. One option that can be used is to take action to control the settling of the ground around the house. One of the easiest ways to deal with soil and groundwater settling is to install a new reinforced
concrete slab around the house. In many cases, this is all it takes to cure basement cracks types that cannot be fixed with simple caulking or stapling. In cases where settling is not caused by soil or groundwater pressure, a stair-step cracks reinforcement system can be installed. These stair stepping systems are essentially non-rigid polyethylene struts that will expand to accommodate expansion and contraction as the earth settles.
Homeowners need to keep in mind that basement waterproofing cost and foundations is typically the foundation that causes the most problems for the home. Basements are the place where most houses suffer from settling that ends up affecting both the interior and exterior of the house. For this reason, basement floors need to be carefully maintained. A good way to make sure that your basement floor is kept in shape is to follow a few simple steps. First, if you notice that there are any cracks in the floor, fix them before they become bigger. Second, use a sealant to protect your concrete from eventual cracking and to minimize cracking damage to walls and other surfaces.
If you are in the process of building a new home or remodeling an existing one, installing an egress window is a worthwhile investment. Egress windows are designed to allow pedestrians the freedom of walking through your home without having to climb stairs or ladder. However, installing an egress window in San Antonio, Texas isn't always as simple as most homeowners believe it to be. There are many things that should be considered before opting to have this type of window installed. Most homeowners prefer the prefabrication of egress doors rather than having them custom built.
The national average price of installing a prefabrication below-grade egress window, typically, can range from approximately $2,000 to more than five thousand dollars. Many homeowners pay up to nine thousand dollars for one custom-built, single-hung egress window placed in upper-floor windows. If you're planning to purchase an egress door for your home, consider how much the repair and installation will cost before deciding on whether to go with a prefab installation or not.
Egress windows are also installed to prevent people from falling from upper floors to the lower levels of their homes, which is why they are often installed on second floors. If you choose to install egress windows on a second floor, it's important that the upper level is as stable as possible in order to keep patrons safe. Check with your local fire department or security experts if you have questions about the structural safety of your chosen company. In the unfortunate event that an emergency exit should become necessary due to a fire or other disaster, the workers will know how to quickly evacuate the building.
Another reason why it's imperative to hire professionals when installing egress windows is because some types of frames can actually weaken over time. This is particularly common for aluminum frames. If an employee is not qualified to install an egress window replacement on your foundation, you could experience buckling or weak spots within your walls in as little as a few years. An expert will be able to customize a solution to strengthen your foundation and eliminate these issues.

There are many different types of foundation repair near me. In some cases, you will have to remove the entire existing structure. Wall cracks are one such example. If you have severe damage to your wall then you need to call in professional foundation repair specialists immediately.
Other forms of foundation repair include concrete piers and pier foundation repairs. Concrete piers are used when you have severe damage to a concrete structure. In this case, you will want to remove any water that is responsible for the damage. Then, make sure you repair all of the cracks or other damage that is surrounding the area so nothing becomes damaged further.
Pier foundation repairs involve the repair of damage that is caused by water being spilled on or near the structure of a pier. This type of foundation repair is best handled by a home advisor. A home advisor will know exactly what needs to be done in order to prevent further damage or cost. Typically a home advisor can also give you tips on how to avoid future damage.
Foundation repairs that involve helical piers are often more complicated than others. Foundation piers work well for holding up a roof, but they don't do a very good job of holding up a concrete floor. Therefore, you will probably need to have your home checked out by a contractor for a foundation repair such as this. Keep in mind that if your home has a basement it is more likely that the basement will need foundation repairs than a regular house.
Some problems are easier to correct than others. For example, a crack in the foundation could easily become a worse problem as time goes on. When this happens the weight of the building above it can cause more pressure on the wall than was originally there. This can cause significant structural integrity issues with your home. These structural integrity issues can not only cost money to repair, they can actually endanger your home as well. If your home's floors or walls are buckling or you see signs of internal moisture flooding your home it is a good idea to contact a foundation repair professional. Unfortunately most people never really think about structural integrity until there is a serious problem. Foundation cracks and other problems can be easily corrected with quality foundation repairs and this will go a long way in preventing future damage to your home.
Foundation cracking and movement are also commonly associated with soil movement. If you live in an area where there is a lot of rainfall, you can bet that there will be cracks in the foundation caused by the excess water. If your home experiences heavy rainfall then this is especially true because of how soil is very concentrated in areas with a lot of rainfall. When soil moves around it tends to push up on the sides of the foundation and cause it to crack.
Sometimes crawl spaces require a lot of unique care and attention. When there are home foundation repairs and crawlspace repair services need, you are going to be able to give our team a call.

When there are major structural concerns within the house, it's time to call a professional foundation repair company. Foundation repair is often needed when the house suffers water damage, and it's also needed due to natural calamities such as earthquakes, hurricanes and tornadoes. While there is nothing too serious about repairing a foundation, a problem might be too much for a homeowner to handle on his or her own. When a basement leak or flooding takes place, however, it is wise to call a professional to handle the repairs in order to prevent further damage and further hazards.
The most common causes for crawl space foundation repair costs are not enough reinforcement for the walls. In some cases, the builder that constructed the house didn't use enough reinforcement posts required to properly support the structure of weight. Sometimes, because of poorly designed floor joists, the joists have sunk significantly in the soil because the soil simply cannot support them anymore. And when there are no floor joists to speak of, it makes excavation that much harder, which adds to foundation cracking.
There are some instances when homeowners can actually fix crawl space foundation repair costs by making simple changes to their homes. For instance, they can cut down on the number of layers of flooring on their foundation by installing plywood below grade on the walls. Wood is a good choice because it's sturdy and long lasting, and wood flooring also adds a level of comfort above ground pools. But plywood isn't very attractive, and many homeowners decide to tear out their existing floors in favor of the cheaper alternatives. If the floors need to be relocated, however, homeowners should check with the local building codes to find out what can be done to make the move-in possible.
Fixing foundation cracks is a very important work. The cost of foundation repair can get expensive, especially if there are sinking foundation repairs.

When it comes to your home, one of the most important decisions you'll make is whether to use carbon fiber crack repair or drywall adhesive. There are pros and cons to both options. For example, repairing cracks with drywall adhesive may cause your home to look like a house in an El Dorado movie. That's because the drywall adhesive will actually allow the crack to widen before repair work is started. That will make your home look like someone poured new cork into the wall!
Drywall is recommended for all exterior Foundation Walls as well as all interior cracks in walls and ceilings. It provides a number of benefits. First, it's easy to install. No need for tools or expertise. Also, it provides excellent protection from termites and other insects that destroy wood. Finally, drywall helps to keep your heating and cooling costs down, meaning you'll be able to enjoy a better living and feel more comfortable in your home.
Unfortunately, drywall doesn't last forever. If it gets cracks, wrinkles or other signs of wear and tear, you can't just replace it. Instead, you must decide if it's worth it to pay for the cost of repairing the damaged part or if it's better to wait and save the money for other necessary repairs or materials. Before you decide, take a moment to learn about the difference between repairing your home with carbon fiber crack repair material vs. epoxy or drywall adhesive.
Damp Wall: Most homeowners know that drywall cracks, although visually appealing, are not exactly a common problem for the typical homeowner. However, there are still many different types of cracks in your typical home and learning about what each one means and how they can be repaired may help you make a more informed decision. Most often, this type of crack is nothing to worry about; however, if left untreated, it can lead to additional problems that can cause even more pain and frustration for homeowners.
Carbon Fiber Crack Repair With Epoxy Resin
The majority of homeowners choose to repair their drywall with epoxy because it's the most commonly used, available, and most effective form of repair today. Epoxies bond well with and are very strong with carbon fiber materials, so this is a great option for people who want a solid barrier to keep out moisture. While many people choose epoxy based carbon fiber strips because they are more affordable than their carbon fiber crack repair alternative, they are not nearly as effective and can sometimes weaken the wall's structure. Epoxy is also a porous substance, which means it allows water to seep through and can encourage the growth of mold and mildew. If you're not putting in a water-resistant sealer on your existing cracks, epoxy may not be the right choice.
Carbon Fiber Reinforcement With Carbon Fiber Wall Straps
Like epoxy resin, carbon fiber crack repair with carbon fiber grid straps is a popular option. This type of reinforcement is applied directly to existing cracks in concrete walls or to pre-existing wooden frames. Unlike resin, carbon fiber grid straps are impervious to water and most acids, but not all. They do provide a stronger, more impervious barrier, though, than most other forms of reinforcement. In addition to being slightly more expensive than epoxy, carbon fiber grid straps are also not very effective at repairing shallow cracks that only need a small amount of reinforcement.
Single Shot And Two Shot
When comparing carbon fiber crack repair methods, one major difference between them is the type of reinforcement used. There are basically two types of crack repairs - single shot and two shot. Each type of reinforcement has its pros and cons, but neither has any negative side when used in concrete or masonry projects. For a single shot, the material used in these types of repairs must be thick enough to allow for the expansion of the concrete while providing sufficient weight to keep the crack from closing, and it must have enough flexibility to adapt to changes in temperature.
Two Shot Structural Reinforcement
The application of two shots to a crack foundation repair method basically consists of two things. First, the crack repair crew must drive a heavy-duty bender into the area. Then, the operator must cut out the excess carbon fiber from the end of the bender and place it into a mold. This mold is then used to create the actual part of the reinforced wall or section of the floor, as well as any decorative trim pieces needed to complete the project. These parts are typically made out of a heavy duty industrial vinyl, which is stronger than typical vinyl used in residential areas. Because of the greater strength of the industrial vinyl, these products are generally preferred over residential vinyl because they can last longer before requiring replacement.
Whether your ceiling is dripping due to a leak, standing stagnant water, a build-up of humidity, or leaking water from the plumbing, any condition requiring attention needs immediate and comprehensive attention. With proper preventative maintenance such as roof waterproofing, your house can quickly recover from dry conditions and full water removal. Not only it improves the overall quality of the structure of your house, but also protects your family and belongings from harmful environmental threats. Call us today and let's take a look at some of the causes and solutions for your ceiling leaks.
Roof waterproofing is a crucial aspect of keeping your home safe from leaks and other types of damage caused by weather. It can protect your home against: fires, hail, storms, ice, snow and other weather related damage. But not all roof leaks are caused by roof waterproofing. In fact there are several very common reasons for roof leaks that could be prevented if proper precautions were taken.
No one wants to think about water damage, but in many cases it is inevitable. Roof waterproofing roofs is the first line of defense against potential damage from water because it acts as an insulator preventing heat from transferring from the interior of the house to the exterior. Without it, your house will continue to absorb heat during the winter months while the cold of winter weather damage your possessions and carpets.
Unfortunately, there are also a number of roofing materials that allow water to penetrate the roof more easily. These include shingles, tiles and metal. Unfortunately, roof waterproofing often doesn't address these types of issues because they are typically lumped into a standard roofing installation. Often the problem is an improper or faulty type of insulation that has let water penetrate the roof, or it may be poor maintenance of the roof itself.
There are a number of ways to protect your roof from moisture and keep water from seeping in through the roof surface. Some of the most common methods are roof coating and roof waterproofing. Both of these methods to prevent water penetration, but in different ways. Each method has its benefits and drawbacks, so it is important to evaluate them and select the one that best suits your particular needs.
Roof coating is designed to create a barrier between the exterior of the building and the roof space. This prevents moisture from penetrating the structure and thus limiting the amount of leaking water that occurs. There are a number of different types of coatings on the market and they can include liquid rubber, tar and granular adhesive.
Liquid rubber is one of the most commonly used. It is made from thick liquid polymers that are mixed with silicone. The liquid rubber uses are flexible enough to expand or contract depending on the need and place where it is applied. The spray application is then followed by a hardening agent that seals the seal. Liquid rubber waterproofing roofs do not provide much resistance to damage, but it does have a long life span and requires little maintenance.
Tar and granular adhesives are applied in sheets and spread over the roof. These are effective at preventing water from penetrating, but they do have some major problems. First, they require high maintenance levels and because they form a film, they are porous and can encourage water seepage. They also have a tendency to flake, peel and crack after prolonged use.
Waterproofing is a process where coating the roof with an acrylic material is applied to prevent it from absorbing moisture. Once this layer is applied, it creates a protective barrier against surface water. It does this by stopping water from entering the structure and then diverting the water away from the roof surface. Roofing insulation is also an option that seals the surface against moisture. This process prevents water damage, but it does not stop it and thus roofing insulation is a better choice if you are looking for a more permanent solution.
The other major problem with these coatings is the time involved for installation and maintenance. Spray coating or foam-based products usually take around four hours to install, while other products may take six hours. Also, maintenance takes up to half a day. Epoxy and rubber based sealants however do not need any maintenance for a period of time and thus they are much better options for preventing leaks. They are also easier to install and maintain.
Some of these roofing solutions include spray sealing and liquid sealing systems. Spray sealing involves using a chemical-filled can to prevent water from leaking onto the roof surface. The liquid type of sealing involves creating a thick seal and applying it to the roof surface. Both of these systems are effective and can prevent water from seeping into the structure. They are however more effective when combined with other types of sealing.
As far as maintenance is concerned, it is simply a matter of cleaning the spray-coated and liquid-sealed surfaces once in a while to remove any residue that may have been left after application. This however can be a very tedious and costly process. In addition to this, most rubber based coatings come with some sort of odor remover which may prove to be irritating for some people. However, considering that a good portion of these rubber roof coatings are meant to prevent water damage rather than prevent water damage, it is certainly worth the extra effort to apply the odor remover.
Waterproofing deck and porches is an essential preventative home maintenance that shouldn't be ignored. Otherwise, it could lead to major restoration or rebuild due to huge deterioration. There are other important benefits of waterproofing basements such as reducing the risk of flooding, which can cause health issues in the future, and decreasing the need for expensive new construction for leaky home foundation. Contact our team to maintain and protect your deck and porches for many years.
A homeowner has just come off their main level porch that then hangs below their main level deck. They are now wanting to reconstruct it but still be able to construct an extra sitting room or storage area underneath any existing outdoor deck area. For more information on deck waterproofing patios, like, how you can construct an extra sitting room or storage area underneath any existing outdoor deck area, just makes it possible to construct an extra sitting room or storage area underneath any existing outdoor deck area.
The first step in waterproofing the exterior of your deck is to have a professional waterproof your deck. You do not want to do this yourself. If you attempt to waterproof your own deck without hiring a professional, you can ruin the finish and cause a leak on your deck within just a few weeks. Your choice of deck waterproofing solution should include a rubberized underlayment. This helps to contain the moisture within the structure of the concrete slabs that are surrounding the interior floor of the deck and also provides added insulation to your living space.
Another method for waterproofing your deck is to utilize waterproofing paints and stains. These products penetrate the concrete roof decks much deeper than normal paint and they will not seep through the membrane that is applied to the interior floor of your deck. For larger decks, it is best to contact a professional contractor who specializes in waterproofing concrete decks with a comprehensive waterproofing plan.
In addition to waterproofing your deck, you may also want to consider a waterproofing system for your second story. Many homes have been damaged by leaks that have occurred due to insufficient waterproofing. If you are considering an aftermarket waterproofing system for your deck or patio, you can get price estimates online that will allow you to compare prices and service providers. You can then choose the provider that offers the most value for your money and the highest quality deck coating second story system.
Concrete basement waterproofing systems that utilize creosote coatings are a relatively newer method for protecting your basement floor from leaks. Leaks in basements are often caused by humidity and mildew and many times, you can not smell the problem until it has already caused a leak. However, there is no way to determine what the source of the leak might be. A professional contractor will analyze the nature of the leak and help you determine whether the leak is coming from one particular area of your deck, or if it is a widespread leak throughout the entire floor. Depending on the source of the leak, a professional waterproofing contractor may recommend that you contact a cementitious coatings company to repair or replace your existing roofing.
Cementitious coatings are available in different colors and are resistant to the effects of weathering. If you live in an area that experiences high seasonal rainfall or snowfall, there are also a variety of waterproofing systems that can be installed for your balcony or patio. These systems include concrete water proofers, decorative waterproofing membrane and various types of masonry waterproofing. However, if your leak is coming from an inside area of your home (and not from your balcony or patio), you will need to contact a professional residential waterproofing company to get the job done right. When it comes to leaks in your masonry walls, your best option is to contact a residential waterproofing contractor that can guide you through the process from start to finish.
French drains are popular in many landscapes because they offer the ideal location for vegetation and flowerbeds. They can also help prevent erosion by channeling storm water away from a property. There are many styles of French drains, including tile, concrete, and paved concrete. The layout and function of the French drain depend on the size of the space being drained, how much water is coming into the property, and the surrounding soil. Give our team a short call to discuss your french drain and other foundation repair needs.
A French drain is a type of drain that allows rainwater to run off the roof of your house through the gutter system, instead of accumulating along the downspouts and ending up in the yard or the garage storage area. The installation of a French drain in San Antonio, TX is typically done on new homes. It is more economical and time efficient than having the gutters replaced, since the drain pipes are hidden from view. Drain pipe installation is sometimes left to the professionals.
A French drain usually takes a trench about six feet by six feet, with a depth of about six inches. That means you'll be excavating about one and a half foot per foot, for each foot you dig. Regular topsoil weighs about 100 pounds. That weight, combined with the weight of the rainwater draining through the pipes, adds up to a lot of pressure being exerted on the French drain installation. That pressure can cause damage, even when the French drain installation is properly done.
To start a French drain installation near me, you'll need a contractor's permit. The contractor will dig the trench according to the specifications outlined in his permit. When the trench is dug, the French drain pipes will be placed inside the trench. The first set of pipes is placed inside the ground, while the second set is installed on top of the soil.
There are two ways to build a French drainage trench. You can either do it yourself or hire someone to do it for you. Many people decide to do their own French drain installation, because it is easier than hiring a professional company. If you decide to have a professional contractor to build the project for you, here are some things to consider before hiring someone to do a French drain installation for you:
Determine how deep you want your French drain to run, and always make sure we are using gravity to make the water flow out. Somtimes we have to use a sump pump to pump the water through the french drain, but this is the last result. Depending on where you live in and around San Antonio Texas, this could be a minimum of one foot down and anywhere from five to ten feet down. This depends on how much room you have to work with, as well as the type of pipes and products you're going to use. Some types of products can only be installed at a certain depth, so make sure you know that before you order. Also, don't assume that two different pipe products will work at the same depth; it might not be feasible for one of them to be installed at that depth due to physical conditions.
Also you may need to consider the French drain pipe cost per foot. This is the overall french drain cost, including the trench, sump pump, French drains, and any other components. The average cost to install a French drain system can range from four to eight cents per foot. This number is just an average, and you should compare it to other similar products you're interested in before you order. If you get a quote that is much lower than this, it's likely that you're getting a low quality product.
You'll also need to determine what kind of retaining wall and yard you have. If you have a retaining wall that's already in place, there's no need to install another. However, if you don't have a lot of room for expanding onto your yard, you may want to consider doing so. Otherwise, you may want to contact a professional about getting a French drain in place for your yard, or building a French wall that will provide you with more room to work with. It's always best to discuss this with a professional so that you have all the facts about how French drains are installed and what you can expect to pay.
Finally, it's important to know how you're going to install your French pipe system. Some people prefer using a standard outlet pipe, and others prefer to install a PVC pipe system. If you prefer a standard outlet pipe, you'll need to have holes drilled and the proper fittings put in the outlet. If you install a PVC pipe system, you'll need to have the correct fittings put in the pipe for it. Either way, make sure that you know how you're going to install it so that when it's done, it looks right and it functions properly.
Radon is one of the major contributor to indoor air pollution. Through radon testing and mitigation services, our team will carefully examine and reduce radon concentrations in the living spaces of the house or building to prevent its risks. It is important to check and mitigate radon concentrations into groundwater supplies by proper grading, septic tank maintenance, and effective soil recharge. Radon mitigation can significantly reduce the risks of lung cancer and other diseases, while at the same time reducing the health costs associated with such diseases.
How would you like to have an inexpensive alternative to building a radon mitigation system? You can achieve this by placing radon mitigation tiles around your home. If you're wondering if your home is a "hot spot" where radon is particularly prevalent, keep in mind that radon usually enters homes through cracks in the foundation or walls. Other radon-prone locations in a home include attics, crawlspaces, railways, and outdoor utility hookups.
Radon Gas Testing in San Antonio, Texas and other areas prone to radon build up are important factors when determining which mitigation options to pursue. Radon has been determined to be the cause of lung cancer and gastrointestinal system cancer in many people, even after the suspected onset of use. Although this lethal gas does not pose health risks currently, it is known to cause other health problems in the future. The EPA has determined that adequate protection for homeowners against radon gas should be made a priority and installing radon mitigation systems will help you do that. On average, homeowners could reasonably expect to be charged between $850 and several thousand dollars to install a radon mitigation machine, or up to three points of radon mitigation, based on their location.
The risks of radon gas are great, but they are compounded by the lack of maintenance of many older houses in their natural state. Unfortunately, many older homes in San Antonio Texas, Oregon and across the nation haven't been properly maintained for years. Radon may have seeped into the basement or other areas of your home through cracked foundation footings, leaking pipes, or other plumbing problems. Radon can also be introduced through soil erosion and water runoff. When homeowners dispose of waste water or take showers in their bathrooms or kitchens, radon gas can also be released into the atmosphere.
Unfortunately, the best way to ensure that radon is not ruining your life is to prevent it from getting in the first place. Properly installed radon mitigation systems will effectively detect any radon gas problems within the house, which then triggers an audible alarm. The gas then decays into the earth, where it is detected and either filtered or treated using a mitigation system. Once the gas has been removed, a monitoring system alerts you and the radon mitigation company so that you can remedy the problem.
Radon Mitigation services in San Antonio Texas provide comprehensive radon mitigation services for homeowners in need. Most of the companies have several specialists including mitigation engineers who can detect radon gas and analyze your home. They can then determine the amount of radon gas to remove, what size mitigation system to use, and how long the system will be needed. They can even give you a realistic expectation of what the radon levels will look like when the mitigation system has been put in place.
Radon gases pose the greatest health threat to individuals who spend a lot of time indoors. Over half of all people living in the United States have measurable radon in their homes, according to the EPA. Radon gas is odorless, colorless, and tasteless. It passes right through the walls and settles on the floors, ceilings, and even furniture. If you have radon in your home, you are putting yourself and your family at risk by not properly maintaining it.
An average home, as well as one with a significant radon build up, can cause as much as three times the amount of exposure that the EPA recommends for a workweek. For this reason, many homeowners choose to Mitigate radon issues before they become a problem. Radon abatement is an important part of protecting your health and the health of your family. You can get the information you need from your local radon mitigation specialists.
If radon is present in your home, there is a way to combat its effects. You can call a radon mitigation specialist to come to your home and perform an assessment, find where the radon is located, and recommend the best ways to lower your radon level. In addition, some mitigation companies can test the air for radon and provide recommendations for lowering your radon levels. In many cases, your radon mitigation specialist can test the air for radon, make an appointment to have your air tested, and suggest the best solution for reducing your radon gas level in your home.
If you're having trouble with mildew and mold growth in your home, our mold removal and remediation professional can help you. If you suspect a mold problem, you may need mold remediation to get rid of the problem. The process may seem to be complicated and needs expert knowledge and experience, so if you suspect a mold issue it is important to work with a professional mold removal service. Give our team a call to protect your home from harmful effects of molds.
Mold grows on almost everything. It grows and multiplies by breaking down organic material. They occur naturally on wood, paper, textiles, clothes, and drywall, and they can grow on almost any other material that can tolerate dampness. The most commonly found forms of mold are in the following:
Stachybotrys Chartarum, or black mold, is a type of toxic micro fungus which produces its conidium in slime form. It can be found in almost drywall and cellulose-rich construction materials from moist or water-logged buildings, but the most common mold found in the upper respiratory tract are found in damp or moist areas of the home. They can cause serious respiratory conditions like asthma attacks and wheezing. Allergic reactions, asthma attacks, coughing and shortness of breath are common symptoms of people exposed to mold.
Allergic reactions, wheezing and coughing are the result of mycotoxins - mold growth products that release toxins into the air. These toxins act on the human body by causing irritation and inflammation of the nasal and upper respiratory tract, leading to difficulty in breathing, sinusitis, and even asthma attacks. Inhaling large amounts of mold spores can trigger a similar effect. To get rid of these mycotoxins, experts have developed a variety of techniques for mold removal. There are many ways to combat this health hazard; however, the best way is to prevent them from happening in the first place.
Mold is not dangerous by itself. When it grows, it thrives on moisture and is attracted to areas where there is either excess heat or moisture. These factors combine to give the mold a favorable environment for growth, resulting in toxic black mold. This toxic kind of mold can cause many health problems, including severe allergic reactions, infections, asthma attacks, and lung cancer. It is not a substance that you would want to inhale on a regular basis. Toxic mold should be removed as soon as possible to avoid further complications.
Mold thrives in areas where the relative humidity is high and the relative humidity is low. If you live in a basement or crawl space, there is a good chance that you have a mold problem. Areas around the water pipes, the vents and the plumbing are also prime locations for mold to thrive. The most common types of mycotoxins are the black and the dark green varieties, which are usually visible through a simple visual inspection. These toxic varieties of mold are dangerous, and they can only be removed by trained professionals.
One of the most dangerous forms of toxic mold are the mycotoxins black and dark green. These toxic types of mold are known to cause very serious health problems, and they do not show up until damage has been done. Toxic black mold grows when moisture is present, and this damage can happen in any part of the house. There are specific symptoms that come about from toxic mold growth, and these symptoms are very dangerous. Anyone who thinks they may have become exposed to toxic black mold must seek medical attention immediately, because the longer it is left untreated the more dangerous it becomes.
When it comes to mycotoxins, black and the dark green varieties are the most dangerous because they are known to cause respiratory symptoms. Many people who become sick with respiratory-related symptoms do not realize that the illnesses could have been caused by a basement leak or water damage. Those who are exposed to mycotoxins will often develop coughing fits, wheezing, chest pains, and even shortness of breath. They will also often suffer from memory loss and permanent memory loss, and they can become depressed. Any type of medical symptoms that can be associated with mold exposure should be checked out by a doctor.
Mold inspection near me is not an easy task, especially when you consider that it can be done by many different professionals. In order for your home to be safe, you need to make sure that there are no leaks in the roof or in the foundation, and if you see any condensation on windows or on the walls then you need to have your home inspected by a professional. If you do find toxic black mold in your home, then you should take action as soon as possible so that it does not spread and become a serious health hazard.

Upchuck Action!
Lurking in the Imperial Palace Compound on the Emperor's Birthday (23rd December) this fella, who dared to go Beyond the Launchpad - the legendary Upchuck - surveys the scene as hundreds, perhaps thousands of people stream by. Some laughed along with the photographer at this thing, this piece of plastic, dared the elements to protect the Emperor from harm.
A true Retainer, Upchuck is ready to defend!
Year end
Thought some warnings from the Tokyo Underground should be issued on the Blog at the year end - to ensure health and safety for all you Launchpad fans in the future... Not sure on what's being said but there seems to be a look of PANIC in the eyes of the cartoon images...

BONUS: Christmas just wouldn't be Christmas...
...without Big Mac... To respond to a message from earlier today - no, I'm not having Turkey or going cold turkey either. I'm living the dream - or mocking it - McDonald's style of course. I washed that tasty burger and fries down with a chocolate milkshake. Style.
Mecha Heaven...
It's here Jim, it's really here...
Hope you like the photos - if they downloaded that is...
Oh and a special couple of messages:
1. Picture one features my old friend, Kicka, er, Sgt. Frog
2. In spite of the cold weather I think I am getting the most of the Sun here.
3. Christmas wishes and salutations to all readers of the Blog during the festive season!

So close! But then of all the things to happen my reservation docket vanished - I got lost and when I eventually managed to find my way back to the reservation area... well... my intended time of visit was between 12.30/1pm. New dockets were at 4pm... So, dejected and miserable, I wandered aimlessly amongst the throngs of people, many taking advantage of a public holiday I think (strange, tomorrow is the big day in the UK but because the Emperor's official birthday was on a Sunday the next day (today) is the public holiday. I manage to make my way back to Ueno on foot which was really nice, it was an exceptionally sunny day. Oh well, it doesn't matter! No funds lost in the exercise and I can retry to get to Skytree on Wednesday when with any luck it might be a bit less busy. Tomorrow of course is special. Leaving this posting with an image from my journey to Ueno - of the Skytree of course...

Friday Prayer
Bukhari :: Book 2 :: Volume 13 :: Hadith 24
Narrated Muhammad bin Sirin:
On a rainy day Ibn Abbas said to his Muadh-dhin, "After saying, 'Ash-hadu anna Muhammadan Rasulullah' (I testify that Muhammad is Allah's Apostle), do not say 'Haiya 'Alas-Salat' (come for the prayer) but say 'Pray in your houses'." (The man did so). But the people disliked it. Ibn Abbas said, "It was done by one who was much better than I (i.e. the Prophet (p.b.u.h) ). No doubt, the Jumua prayer is compulsory but I dislike to put you to task by bringing you out walking in mud and slush."
