SAN BERNARDINO – The fate of Jonathan Craig Holeman, one of two Crestline men on trial in the 2002 deaths of an elderly man and his adult daughter, now rests in the hands of a jury.
Lawyers in Holeman's case delivered their closing arguments to the jury Wednesday in San Bernardino Superior Court. Arguments in the case of co-defendant Samuel Charles Wright will be today.
Both defendants are accused of killing John Painter, 87, and his daughter, 58-year-old Barbara Martin, on Father's Day 2002 at their lakefront vacation home in Lake Arrowhead.
"These were unbelievably savage murders that wiped out a family," Deputy District Attorney Robert Bulloch told the Holeman jury. The defendants have separate juries.
Wright had worked for Painter for years, doing odd jobs around the house. On June 16, 2002, Wright invited Holeman, a friend, to go do cabinet work at Painter's home on Palisades Drive.
Painter was lured to the basement of the tri-level home, where Holeman struck him in the head with a ball-peen hammer and then returned to hit the man's head another five to six times, Bulloch said.
Martin was strangled by Wright on the upper level of the home, Bulloch said. The victims' bodies were left in the basement, covered with carpet and blankets. Girls were called to clean the home, and the two defendants stayed there for days while partying with drugs and alcohol.
Prosecutors intend to seek the death penalty against Wright and Holeman, if they are found guilty of murder in both killings – with at least one count of first-degree murder – and if special circumstances charged in the case are found by the jury to be true.
Both sides of the case contend Wright and Holeman were methamphetamine addicts. But while prosecutors say the two men willfully and deliberately killed the victims and robbed them, the defense argued that methamphetamine affected the men's judgment and decision-making abilities.
Voluntary intoxication, while not a get-out-of-jail card, can be considered by the jury on the murder counts and whether Holeman acted with deliberation and pre-meditation, explained Deputy Public Defender Rasheed Alexander, one of Holeman's two lawyers.
The defense argued that both defendants did not plan the killings. They got a ride to Painter's home, took no weapons and simply left the bodies in the basement while inviting other people to the home. Holeman then tried to cash checks from Painter's bank account at a liquor store and pawn shop where he knew the owners, according to authorities.
Alexander said the killings appear more like impulse and lack the careful planning, deliberation and pre-meditation of first-degree murder. It's a position that prosecutors disagree with.
The defense alleges that Holeman's brain and his ability to exercise good judgement were affected by methamphetamine.
Wright and Holeman were not in the same frame of mind on the day of the killings, the defense said. Wright was in charge, and he contacted the girls to come clean the home. Wright also had the relationship with the victims, was upset about his low pay, and was found with the victims' car.
Holeman told detectives that Wright struck Painter first, and then Wright instructed him to finish killing Painter, said Alexander.
"If you don't get involved, it's going to happen to you," Alexander said his client was told.
However, the prosecution told the jury that actions speak louder than words. Bulloch said jurors should be aware of an individual's conduct and the circumstances under which it took place.
An intent to kill exists when someone takes a hammer and repeatedly strikes the head of another person, said Bulloch. He also pointed to expert testimony that it takes three to four minutes of constant pressure to strangle someone.
"The bottom line, ladies and gentlemen, this is a first-degree murder case," Bulloch said. The deliberative process to kill can be quick, he said, equating it the decision a motorist makes to run a yellow stoplight.
Holeman and Wright picked their victims carefully and coordinated a plan, the prosecution said. Both victims were killed at the same location, and their bodies were concealed in the basement. Then the location is cleaned.
The defendants are charged with murder, robbery and burglary, plus special circumstances of multiple murders, murder during a robbery and murder during a burglary.

Suscol Intertribal Council is a community-based, 501(c)(3) organization, founded in 1972 and reactivated in 1992, seeking to bring healing between the existing population and the people who historically inhabited Napa Valley and nearby counties. Since 1992, Suscol Intertribal Council has developed local educational outreach programs for public schools (K-14), community clubs, and other organizations. The organization continues to provide county-wide classes and annual events meant to bring the community together. Most classes and many events are free of charge and open to the public. Suscol Intertribal Council has developed a mentorship program to help California Native people make connections with agencies, foundations, and corporations that might be helpful to them. Contract development with organizations that seek to connect with California tribes or urban Indians is ongoing.
Suscol Intertribal Council is located in the Napa Valley, believed to be one of the oldest inhabited areas in North America. There is, however, no longer a land-based tribe in this county due to historical mass relocation and detrimental exposure to diseases.
Suscol is the name of a Patwin village site that was being desecrated in the early 1970's. During this time, the "Suscol Indian Council" formed to stop that desecration and was instrumental in starting what is now the Native American Heritage Commission in Sacramento. They developed state-wide protocols for handling Native American remains and archeological sites.
In the Patwin language, one of the tribes whose traditional territory makes up a part of the Napa Valley, the word Suscol means "wet and green," describing the marshy lands of the southern crossing freeway south of Napa city.

Evil Is In 'Us'
By Eddie Muertos on December 25th, 2018 at 11:31 pm
Category: Trailers / Tag: Demons, Doppelgangers, Home Invasion, Psychological Thriller, Survival Horror / Add Comment
Universal released today its first official trailer for Jordan Peele's Us, the eagerly anticipated followup to his Oscar-winning directorial debut Get Out. The film pits a family of four against monstrous doppelgängers during a home invasion of their beachside home in Northern California.
The family's doubles are called the Tethered and the film, according to Peele, plays as a metaphor for people being their own worst enemies. Trailer is chockful of creepy imagery, running with scissors, and tears. In theaters March 15.


Alley, Across From Ford's Theatre, Washington, D.C., 2013.
During a performance of Our American Cousin at Ford's Theatre, exactly 150 years ago today, John Wilkes Booth stepped into the presidential box and shot President Abraham Lincoln in the back of the head. What happened next was equally dramatic: Booth jumped out of the box onto the stage, fled the theater, and, with his accomplice David Herold, evaded authorities for the next 12 days. At the time, it was the largest manhunt in American history.
Now, as Nate Larson shows in his series, "Escape Routes," the path Booth took is a mix of truck stops, suburbs, highways, and back roads. Over six shooting trips, Larson retraced Booth's passage, working backward from his Baltimore grave to the site where he was shot and killed near Port Royal, Virginia, to the Ford's Theatre in Washington, D.C. Larson became interested in the Civil War after moving to Baltimore in 2009—he has also photographed "witness trees" that were alive during Civil War battles—and started looking into Booth after learning he grew up in a nearby suburb.

On the way from Maryland to Virginia, Booth and Herold crossed the Potomac River while pursued by federal gunboats, hid in the woods, and trudged through swamp. Booth also had an injured leg the entire time, which all added up to a harrowing experience that, as he wrote in his diary, gave way to panic and despair. Following Booth's footsteps, Larson looked for signs of history along the route. At first, he noticed some of the more obvious visual clues, like historical markers, gift shops, and souvenirs. But eventually, he became more interested in the landscape that Booth traversed and how it has changed, if at all, over time.
"I'm not particularly mystical, but I was thinking of the energy of that event and whether that energy can ripple forward into the present," he said.

In some places, the landscape left few traces of history. For instance, a highway median now stands on the spot where Booth was killed. But at Booth's grave, he found that people still left flowers.
"Things happen everywhere and they're quickly lost or forgotten. Maybe the ordinariness of some of these scenes will help people dig into their own communities and think about what their local histories are," Larson said.
Larson's work will be on display at Arlington Arts Center in Arlington, Virginia, from April 18 to June 28.

COMMENTARY: Transgenders kidnap Jesus
by Dr. Gregory Tomlin | 19 May, 2016
(REUTERS/Anton Meres (SPAIN))
FORT WORTH, Texas (Christian Examiner) – When the Civil Rights Movement gained momentum in the 1960s, Christian ministers were forced to confront ugly, twisted misinterpretations of the Bible that categorized black Americans as something "other" than fully human and inferior to whites.
In many places, especially in the South, that was a difficult, long-lasting process. On occasion, with fundamentalist colleges like Bob Jones University, the federal government had to step in and punctuate the equilibrium to ensure the progression toward equality continued.
"This is, of course, utter nonsense and not akin to any interpretive paradigm for the incarnation ever offered by any theologian, at any time, in any era, on any continent, for any purpose. It is a fabrication of minds clouded by the scars of sexual rebellion."
Since that time, it has become clear that blacks and whites in America, broadly categorized, are culturally different. Each group has its own history, making up its prejudices and challenging the way they see their fellow Americans of different races. But there is no distinction in the way we are created inherently as human beings. The concept is not only one inherent in the Declaration of Independence; it is a fundamental truth of Scripture.
"In Christ, there is neither Jew nor Gentile, slave nor free, nor is there male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus," Paul wrote in Galatians 3:28. If written in our current context, Paul likely would have added "nor black and white" to the passage.
This passage, of course, was not about Civil Rights. It was not about government legislation or altering the makeup of society and overturning God's created order for the family and the leadership of the church.
It was, in context, a statement about Christian fellowship and the inheritance that already belongs and will be received by the saints who are blessed in Abraham's Seed – Jesus Christ. It was meant to draw tight the bonds of unity between a multitude of peoples, all part of the faithful in Christ. It was a group that included a (black) Ethiopian eunuch and Gentile women, such as Lydia and Phoebe, and later churchmen like Athanasius of Alexandria, known in history as "the black dwarf."
When Christian ministers in the Civil Rights Movement appealed to the character of Jesus Christ for the wisdom and strength to pursue equality, they did so knowing that they were following His lead. They were advocating for His will and supported by the Christ of Scripture. Jesus, you might say, was a willing participant in the push for equality.
Now, however, as the push to redefine humanity in the sexual revolution is underway and the effort to seek "equal rights" for transgenders is the cause célèbre, Jesus has to be bound with chains, gagged with duct tape, kidnapped and surgically altered to serve as the champion of that movement's ideal for equality. He has to be dragged kicking and screaming to a place His creation was never intended to go.
Last week, I wrote about a Northwest Arkansas Presbyterian minister who argued that Jesus, since he took his flesh from Mary, was missing a male chromosome. Jesus, he wrote, was likely externally male but internally female. That made him a "transgressive," meaning he was capable of moving back and forth between the two "genders" – an "intersexual" of sorts.
Then, Katie Grimes, a professor of theological ethics at Villinova University, wrote a similar piece at the website Women in Theology.
"Since Jesus had no human biological father, and since God, his heavenly Father, lacks a body, then Jesus was a man who likely had no Y chromosome. Would this not make Jesus more like a transgender person than a cis-gender one? We could grant Jesus a Y chromosome, but then we would have to assign his virgin mother Mary one as well," Grimes wrote.
Now, a writer at Huffington Post – a hotbed of support for every imaginable strain of sexual deviance – claims that God is tired of conservative Christians looking at Him as the "black and white God."
In an article titled "Jesus: The First Transgender," lesbian author Susan DeWitt Hall – who has no apparent theological training or expertise in biblical languages – claims Christians who oppose transgenderism are imposing "their own filters on stories and phrases to fit their particular ideology."
That would be sort of like Hall claiming Jesus was the first transgender wouldn't it? I digress in favor of revealing more of Hall's interpretative prowess.
Will Methodists hold the line on biblical marriage?
COMMENTARY: N.C. restroom law not about transgenders, but state power (and public safety)
Pediatricians: Pushing gender reassignment is 'child abuse'
Childcare worker fired for refusing to call girl, 6, made 'transgender' by same-sex parents, a boy
Transgender: 'Right wing' Christians killing Christianity and that is 'good'
"The teaching of church from ancient days through today is that Jesus received his fleshly self from Mary. The church also teaches that Jesus is the new Adam, born of the new Eve," Hall writes.
"Now Eve is a fascinating creature for many reasons. The Bible tells us she is the first example of human cloning, which I touched on in this post. But the fun doesn't stop there. If we take the Genesis account in it's literal meaning, as conservative Christians demand that we do, she is also the first case of a transgender woman. God reached into Adam, pulled out a bit of rib bone, and grew Eve from that XY DNA into Adam's companion. She was created genetically male, and yet trans-formed into woman.
Then along comes Jesus and the whole pattern is both repeated and reversed. The first couple's refusal to cooperate is turned around by Mary's yes, and the second act of cloning occurs. The Holy Spirit comes upon the second Eve, and the child takes flesh from her and is born. Born of her flesh. Born with XX chromosome pairing. Born genetically female, and yet trans-formed into man."
Though I agree that Christ is the "new Adam," obedient unto death because of the Word dwelling in Him, Hall fails to see the incarnation for what it is. It is not about the transference of DNA. It is about the taking on of "flesh" (sarx, in Greek) or "humanity."
The incarnate Christ is a "new creation." Jesus Christ is fully human not only because of Mary, but because he was created human by his Father – the same Father God who created Adam from the dust of the earth. By Hall's logic, Adam was only living as a man. He was internally mud.
The gospel of Luke (1:35) reads that the Angel Gabriel told Mary, "The power of the Most High shall overshadow you." The passage is universally recognized as an act of creation by the Father – a completed act of creation supplying all else necessary to make him human.
Jesus was circumcised on the eighth day, preached in a synagogue (which only males could do), was referred to as the "son" of Mary (and Joseph, though erroneously so), referred to exclusively by the Greek pronouns "his" and "him," and was referred to as "King of the Jews" – not "Queen of the Jews." Nowhere is it recorded that Mary dressed poor female Jesus in male clothes to ease his transition into patriarchal society. Nowhere is Jesus said to be screaming internally for his inner female self to break the chains of restrictive, theocratic society to have a coming out party.
These patently obvious cues in Scripture, however, will likely not dissuade armchair theologians on the Left from validating Hall's thesis.
I, therefore, turn to church history. In the entire corpus of writings on the church fathers, there is not a single writer who claims Jesus was anything other than anatomically and psychologically male in his humanity. The church does not depict him as schizophrenic, bi-polar, bi-sexual, homosexual, questioning, or transgender.
That Jesus Christ, the man, was crafted by God's creating agent – His Word – is addressed by Hippolytus in his Refutation of All Heresies where he writes, "The Logos (Word of God) we know to have received a body from a virgin, and to have remodeled the old man by a new creation."
He also writes in the Doctrine of Truth that the Word designed creations "requiring generation" as male or female. Other objects He made "neither male nor female." Most importantly, he writes that neither male nor female could "proceed from any one of these, were it not that God, who is the source of all authority, wished that the Logos might render assistance in accomplishing a production of this kind."
So, if God created all things – and made some male and some female by His authority – could he not make Jesus fully male in spite of the fact that he takes his flesh from Mary, and within her womb?
As Tertullian wrote in his work, On the Flesh of Christ, the Christ who was going to consecrate a new order of birth (that is, being born "from above"), "must himself be born after a novel fashion" in the virgin birth. He added:
"This is the new nativity; a man is born in God. And in this man God was born, taking the flesh of an ancient race, without the help, however, of the ancient seed, in order that He might reform it with a new seed, that is, in a spiritual manner, and cleanse it by the removal of all its ancient stains. But the whole of this new birth was prefigured, as was the case in all other instances, in ancient type, the Lord being born as man by a dispensation in which a virgin was the medium."
He is a new creation, indeed – just not one to be used to bolster a new, tired old argument about Jesus's sexuality to make transgenders feel better about their gender dysphoria or the fact that they are prohibited from using the opposite sex's restrooms.
I'd rather they just admit that they're looking for a different Savior than the one given to us in the Christ of the Bible.

Director Roger Sewhcomar, with Devon Talbott and Charlie Floyd, on set of DO YOU LIKE MY BASEMENT?
Roger Sewhcomar has crafted a devilishly good horror movie, both chilling and satirical. If you're in New York City, be sure to catch it at the NewFilmmakers Short Film program on May 29. You can find details here. And, of course, there's more to come as the film moves on to other venues and branches out into new web content.
If you're a film buff, you may find yourself comparing "Do You Like My Basement?" to classic horror, especially, "Peeping Tom," considering both main characters, Stanley Farmer, and Mark Lewis, respectively, are deranged filmmakers. They are up to their gills in toxic psychosis. "Peeping Tom," although now considered a masterpiece, did not go over so well in 1960 and its director, Michael Powell, paid a heavy price as he was thoroughly drummed out of the business by harsh critics. "Do You Like My Basement?" has a much brighter future ahead of it, not only by comparison, but for being quite a gem. Director Roger Sewhcomar provides just the sort of horror that goes beyond expectations, and meets the contemporary taste for suspense.
Charlie Floyd on set of DO YOU LIKE MY BASEMENT?
A production such as this has its share of unsung heroes, those that go the extra mile but may go unseen. Ironically, the main character to this film, Stanley Farmer, is never quite seen. However, there is no mistaking the presence of actor Charlie Floyd. In fact, he's always there. Once you hear his voice, you won't mistake it. Mr. Floyd leads a strong cast in this remarkable mix of horror, satire, and dark comedy.

Why Anika Therapeutics Inc. Shares Skyrocketed
Sean Williams, The Motley Fool, AOL.com
Feb 26th 2014 12:54PM
Although we don't believe in timing the market or panicking over market movements, we do like to keep an eye on big changes -- just in case they're material to our investing thesis.
What: Shares of Anika Therapeutics , a biopharmaceutical company focused on developing therapies for tissue protection, healing, and repair, jumped as much as 52% after the Food and Drug Administration gave marketing approval for the drug Monovisc for osteoarthritis of the knee.
So what: According to Anika's press release, Monovisc "is a single injection supplement to synovial fluid of the osteoarthritic joint, used to treat pain and improve joint mobility in patients suffering from osteoarthritis of the knee." The injection will be marketed in the U.S. by DePuy Synthes, a subsidiary of Johnson & Johnson . Anika will receive a $5 million milestone payment upon the first commercial sale of the therapy by DePuy Synthes, and their agreement also affords Anika the opportunity to make more via royalties and other sale threshold milestones. Monovisc's approval was based on a study that showed a greater improvement from the baseline in the WOMAC pain score compared to the control arm at 12 weeks.
Now what: There's no way to construe this as anything but good news on the surface, given that the viscosupplementation therapy market is growing by double-digits on an annual basis, per Anika Therapeutics CEO Charles Sherwood. Anika has indeed delivered relatively steady growth over the last couple of years. Conversely, though, Anika will likely deliver in the neighborhood of $70 million in net product sales this year, and that's inclusive of all of its viscosupplementation products throughout the world. In other words, with a valuation of nearly $700 million, investors may have overshot what Anika is really capable of in the next few years, and that may be cause for caution with this stock near $50 per share.

Big match, high stakes? Better call Faf
By Varun Shetty
Varun Shetty in Visakhapatnam (May 11, 2019)
In the first episode of Roar of the Lion, a docudrama about the behind-the-scenes workings at Chennai Super Kings, MS Dhoni is seen discussing the auction strategy ahead of the side's return to the tournament in 2018. In what seems like a discussion on overseas opening options, he says: "On a slower wicket, Faf is better, because he can give us more use compared to Brendon [presumably, McCullum]."
They went on to use one of their two Right to Match cards to retain Faf du Plessis, using the other one on Dwayne Bravo. Given the nature of that auction, it was essentially a show of confidence from the franchise – du Plessis was considered one of the core five players as they rebuilt the team.
Du Plessis only made one fifty last season, but it was a back-to-the-wall unbeaten 67 in the first Qualifier, where he held together a crumbling batting order to take them to victory with two wickets left. On Friday, with elimination a possibility for Super Kings, du Plessis delivered with yet another considered, calculated fifty that ensured there would be no glitches as the side sought a place in their eighth IPL final.
Du Plessis' primary challenge on the night was to make sure the side had a strong Powerplay, and to do it in the company of Shane Watson, who had struggled for a sustained run of form all season. What Super Kings consider a strong Powerplay, du Plessis said after the match, is one where they don't lose a wicket in the first or second over. This translates to a better overall Powerplay according to them, one where they end up with a decent run rate.
The plan nearly blew apart third ball of the chase, with both batsmen stopping mid-pitch and then running towards the same end, and eventually only surviving through a hysterical procession of fielding from Delhi Capitals. With that out of the way, however, du Plessis settled down for the job at hand. His reputation for showing up in tough circumstances is justified: he's done it in all formats and in the knockout stage of just about every major tournament, save the elusive World Cup final for South Africa.
One of the hallmarks of du Plessis' batting under pressure is that he's always prepared to get behind the line of the ball, as seen on the volatile Test surfaces against India early in 2018. That, and his patience.
This season, he's had to drag those tenets across matches, rather than just in a few matches. Chepauk has produced pitches that could have cost Super Kings a few games had it not been for their incredible record at the toss. Form, flow, and any consequent aggression have been hard to find for this batting line-up. But, true to Dhoni's words in that episode, du Plessis has managed to be useful.
"The nature of our whole batting line-up is we haven't been in our best form, because we haven't been playing on a flat wicket all the time," du Plessis said. "So naturally you need a few more balls to hit the ball middle of the bat. Once we get through that, we generally score quicker. We saw that innings where Watson got 96 – once he gets through the Powerplay, he plays really well. So that's a real strength of ours just to get through that, and it just frees up all the players.
"He went about it expertly. It wasn't a surface on which to attempt six-hitting shots, so he sat back, mostly offering the straight bat as the seamers attacked his stumps, only straying from the plan when Boult strayed marginally short, allowing himself to indulge in an authoritative front-foot pull.
It was only after four overs that he took a risk, slicing away from the body to hit Axar Patel through point, and following it up with an audacious back-foot six over long-off on a slow track. With the shackles broken, he ran into a wayward Ishant Sharma, whom he promptly put away for three fours in a row. From 16 for 0 to 42 for 0. Du Plessis had done it, taken Super Kings to their ideal Powerplay. Importantly, as Watson said at the post-match presentation, he'd given his partner, who would normally be expected to be the aggressor, some time to breathe.
When du Plessis was dismissed, the asking rate was close to run-a-ball and Watson had hit his first six. The foundation had been laid, the partner had been sufficiently supported and Super Kings were virtually through against an anxious young team.
By the end of the game, it wasn't even the most entertaining fifty, but it had done all the silent work for Super Kings. And du Plessis' entire time as a Super Kings player since 2012 has been that way, so much so that his record for them – 1025 runs at 35.34 – now falls in the same bracket as Matthew Hayden (1107 at 36.90) and Michael Hussey (1563 at 41.13), who have the best averages by a Super Kings opener. He's made more than 300 runs in all four seasons where he's played more than six innings and, in the Super Kings pantheon, is comfortably ahead of M Vijay in the pecking order. Impressive numbers for a middle-order specialist.
"Obviously my career I've always batted 3 and 4," du Plessis said. "So, the first time I really got an opportunity to open was with Chennai. Because that's where the gap is. Suresh has batted No. 3 since he was 18 for Chennai and he's going to bat three for I suppose a few more years. Even Dhoni sometimes bats at 4 or 5.
"So the opportunity for me was to open the batting, especially after Hussey, when he left. South Africa team I bat three, it's probably my best role. It was good for me to just grow my game, just batting different circumstances."
Over five seasons, the experiment to plug the Hussey gap has resulted in an attempt to forge all of du Plessis' characteristic resilience and game intelligence into what should be an indispensable opening batsman. While that hasn't exactly been the case over the years, you can't read into it too much. Super Kings are a team that excel in putting the right players in the right situations: when it's time to rebuild the squad, adjust to sticky pitches, or to make the final, they turn to du Plessis. And he delivers.

Q: How to store and retrieve YouTube embed in MySQL database with PHP? I am trying to store and retrieve the HTML of an embedded YouTube video on my site but am running into trouble. Here is my code:
Controller
$html = request('media');

$html = htmlentities($html);

$post = Post::create(array_merge(['media' => $html],request(['title', 'content'])));

Retrieval
{{ html_entity_decode($post->media) }}

Important things to mention, I am using Laravel, and in my MySQL database, I am storing this HTML as the type text. So, how would I accomplish this? The retrieval code simply shows the HTML code but does not render. When I look at the source, it is because the HTML retrieved looks like this
<iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/CgsymJy0RJk" frameborder="0" allow="autoplay; encrypted-media" allowfullscreen></iframe>

How do I save this HTML into my database so I can retrieve it and it renders the embedded video that I would like it to?

A: On controller remove $html = htmlentities($html);
on view:
{!! $post->media !!}

A: Do not use function htmlentities which change the code you save in the database:
As written  in PHP manual:

htmlentities — Convert all applicable characters to HTML entities

In addition, be aware of SQL-injections when save raw HTML in the database.
OR just use html_entity_decode in controller after read media from DB.

We are a family run company based in Tewkesbury, Gloucestershire, just off of junction 9 of the M5 is our warehouse where all the items on our website are stocked for quick dispatches.
Are all your products authentic ?
We only stock 100% genuine goods. Although we are not the official distributors of the name brands we carry, we do purchase our products from each of their official distributors directly.
Let our reputation speak for itself. We sell our products on many different platforms and have reviews from our very happy customers that we are proud to share with you. Please read some of our customers feedback on Reviews.com which is an independent review system where you will find we have a 5 Star rating (http://www.reviews.co.uk/company-reviews/store/nicely-polished).
With all this fabulous feedback from our happy customers, how can anyone doubt their authenticity! Buy with confidence from us.
Why is your CND Shellac cheaper than the official distributor's prices ?
As we are not officially affiliated distributors we are not obliged to sell our products at their RRP. We set our own prices and also carry more than one brand to offer a variety of options for our customers which official distributors are not permitted to do. In order to offer the most competitive prices for our name brand products and to ensure that our customers are not overpaying we have found ways to decrease our prices. One obvious way was to decrease the overall shipping costs.
Thus for purchases of 1-4 bottles of CND Shellac polish we are posting them with dismantled CND boxes and are trimming the plastic insert (where applicable) so that they may fit in a large letter rather having to pay extra for the cost of posting a parcel which is a difference of over £2 which is passed directly onto you our valued customers.
Why pay expensive shipping costs when all you are going to do is bin the packaging anyway? We do still offer the choice if you prefer to have to pay the extra postage and have your polishes remain in the original packaging but this is a flat rate and you can purchase as many as you like. Buy over 4 bottles and this is a complimentary upgrade!
How to apply Gel Polish or Shellac correctly ?
Step 1: Meticulous Nail Prep – ensuring to push the cuticle from the nail plate and remove all surface contaminants with a cleanser (i.e. CND ScrubFresh, Harmony Surface Cleanser, Jessica Clarify or other like products). This will also temporarily dehydrate the nail plate to promote better adhesion.
Step 2: Base Coat application – ensure to vigorously shake the bottle to mix and remove excess product from the brush before application. Apply the base coat to the nail plate and ensure to cap the free edge. Cure with UV/LED light for the specified time depending upon the type of product used. Please note that Shellac will only cure with UV light. Jessica Geleration, IBD Just Gel, and OPI GelColour will cure with either UV or LED light at varying time intervals.
Step 3: Colour Coat Application – ensure to shake the bottle vigorously and remove excess product from the brush by wiping it on the bottle's neck. Apply one very thin coat of colour to the nail plate and ensure to cap the free edge. Cure with UV/LED light for the specified time depending upon the type of product used. Apply a second very thin coat of colour and again cap the free edge. Cure with UV/LED light for the specified time depending upon the type of product used.
Step 4: Top Coat Application – ensure to shake the bottle to mix and remove excess product from the brush. Apply one very thin coat of top to the nail plate and ensure to cap the free edge. Cure with UV/LED light for the specified time depending upon the type of product used. Remove the tacky/sticky inhibition layer with a lint-free pad soaked with 99% isopropyl alcohol or nail cleanser.
Step 5: Rehydrate – ensure you rehydrate the nail plate and cuticles with cuticle oil and repeat this twice daily to maintain and promote longer wear.
Store products in a cool place away from direct sunlight.
Shake the base, colour and top coat bottles vigorously prior to use.
Ensure to remove contaminants and temporarily dehydrate the nail plate prior to application.
Do not overload the brush.
Always apply very thin layers.
How long does Shellac/Gel polish last ?
plates are prone to chipping and peeling and will not last the 2-3 weeks. It is worth the time to strengthen and treat the nail plates prior to having Shellac/Gel polish applied. When Shellac or Gel polishes are applied to healthy nails and the correct aftercare is maintained it should last at least 2 weeks.
How do you remove Shellac or Gel polish correctly ?
Saturate the cotton pad of a remover wrap or foil with the acetone-based remover of your choice (CND Nourishing Remover, OPI Expert Touch Remover, Jessica GELeration Remover, and Harmony Remover).
Place the pad over the gel and wrap finger. Wait 10-15 mins.
Securely grip the finger and apply slight pressure to the fingernail. Using a twisting motion pull the wrap/foil off the finger.
Gently push off the remaining gel with an orangewood stick being careful not to scrap the surface layers of the natural nail plate. If the gel does not come off easily then repeat steps 1-3.
Remove any product residue with a lint-free pad soaked with isopropyl alcohol or nail cleanser.
Rehydrate the nail and cuticle with cuticle oil.
How to take care of my Shellac/Gel manicure. Is there any Aftercare Advice ?
Always wear gloves when doing household cleaning, gardening or hobbies that are hard on your hands and especially when using harsh chemicals.
It is recommended to apply a cuticle oil twice daily to keep your nails and skin hydrated and healthy which will increase the longevity of the Shellac/Gel.
Wash your hands immediately after applying suntan oil or insect repellent as many of these products will cause damage to your colour coat.
To avoid colour fading always wipe your hands/nails after coming out of a chlorinated pool particularly when followed by extended sun exposure as this will bleach and fade your colour.
Can you put nail varnish over gel polish ?
Yes, you can change your colour temporarily whilst wearing Shellac or Gel colours. Simply paint nail varnish over the Shellac. Ensure you use an acetone-free remover to remove the nail polish.
Why is my brush stiff ?
Unfortunately, it is not unheard of for brushes to be a bit stiff initially or even sometimes become stiff when using the Shellac/Gel polish near the UV/LED lamp or under direct sunlight. The brushes are easy to soften if you work them back and forth on a plastic backed pad or lint-free pad or you can grip them between your finger and thumb, rubbing them this will loosen them. If necessary you can use a bit of remover to help.
Why is my Shellac/Gel polish so thick ?
Every colour and effect have their own consistency depending upon the chemical, pigments and effects used to create a particular colour. It is really important to ensure that the bottle is shaken vigorously prior to use to ensure the contents are well mixed. To apply thicker colours it is extremely important to apply a very thin layer otherwise it will be prone to bubbling or shrinking. To do so wipe all excess colour off the brush using the bottle neck's edge before applying the colour. It will look semi-sheer but the full coverage will be obtained when the second layer is applied. Remember there is no problem with too thin but you will have a lot of trouble if the layer is applied too thick!
Why is my Shellac/Gel polish chipping or peeling ?
Chipping or peeling shellac can be quite frustrating, especially after taking the time to go through the entire process of applying them. There can be several reasons why chipping or peeling occurs. These can range from application issues, nail bed issues, to wear issues. If your shellac/gel polish is chipping or peeling off, it is likely due to improper bonding between the nail bed and the base coat which can be due to a multitude of reasons.
To avoid chipping/peeling nails you must adhere to the meticulous prep and application process which is described above in How to apply Gel Polish or Shellac correctly?. If you use cuticle remover, make sure you properly clean the nail surface with soap and water of all chemical residue and natural oils. Also, be sure to liberally wipe acetone or ScrubFresh on the nail surface to not only remove impurities but to remove any moisture from cleaning the nails. This will also dehydrate the nail so that proper adherence of the base coat can occur. It is really important to only use the polish sparingly on every layer as thick layers are prone to under curing and then chipping. Uneven layers also are prone to chipping. Application motto is 'thin to win'. Another critical step is to make sure that the nail is properly capped with a base/colour/top coat this will also help prevent chipping.
Make sure that when you cure the nails, you use the appropriate lamp and follow the recommended curing times. Please remember if using Shellac it does not properly cure with LED lamps – Shellac requires a 36watt UV lamp. If you are using a lower wattage lamp, you may have to add additional time to the curing process. Additionally, if the bulbs are well used or old, although they may still turn on, their candlepower output will be heavily decreased, so you may need additional time to cure. You should change your bulbs after extended use. Remember that curing is a chemical process, and although the nails may look "cured", they may only be less than 100% cured through the full thickness of polish.
Even if all application steps are followed precisely, differences in lifestyle will affect the longevity of the wear of CND shellac. People who put their hands in water or chemicals frequently may experience reduced longevity. Protective gloves should be worn when doing household cleaning, gardening and when in contact with harsh chemicals. Hands need to be washed after swimming in chlorinated water and after application of suntan oil/cream or insect repellent.
Individuals with thinner more, brittle or uneven nail bed surfaces also tend not to wear Shellac/Gel Polish very well as it often that they will chip or peel. To counteract this it is important that the nail bed is buffed well and encourage nail strengthening treatments.
It cannot be stress enough the importance of using cuticle oil twice daily to maintain and keep the nail bed hydrated which will significantly increase the overall wear time.
Is there any special advice when on holiday ?
We love having gorgeous nails on holiday! Holidays are great but can be tough on our nails. When using suntan oils or creams or insect repellents be sure to wash and dry your nails immediately after application as many of these products contain solvents that will damage Shellac/Gel nails. After swimming in a chlorinated pool be sure to wash and dry your nails as the chlorine can bleach your colour particularly when exposed to prolonged sunlight.
Will Shellac/Gel Polish damage my nails ?
No. By following the proper application and removal process there should be no damage rather leaving your nails perfectly healthy. Always resist the temptation to pull or tear off the polish if it is chipping or tearing as this can lead to extensive damage to the nail bed.
Can Shellac/Gel Polish be used with enhancements ?
Yes, Shellac and Gel polishes can be used with acrylic and gel enhancements. It tends to last for a long time!
How do I keep nails moisturized and hydrated ?
Use a cuticle oil twice daily to keep nails and cuticles moisturized and healthy. This will also extend your Shellac/Gel Polish wear time.
I received my order but there has been a mistake what should I do ?
We are proud to say that we have over a 99% accuracy rate as we do try to double and triple check our orders before sending them out however being human we too make mistakes occasionally. Please allow us the opportunity to correct our mistake by contacting us as soon as possible. You can call us on 01684 292727 or send an email to sales@nicelypolished.co.uk and we will sort it out immediately.
Why is my Shellac/Gel Polish shrinking or bubbling whilst curing ?
The most common explanation for shrinking or bubbling gel is an incorrect application. It is imperative that the polish is applied very thinly as when it is too thick it is prone to bubbling and shrinking whilst curing. Some Shellac/Gel polishes are thicker than others and need special care when applying. The trick is to wipe the vast majority of the polish off the brush using the bottle neck's edge and then apply a wafer-thin layer. Full coverage will be achieved with the second and rarely a third coat.
Step 2: Vinylux Weekly Polish Application - ensure to shake the bottle vigorously. Remove excess product from the brush before application. Apply one thin layer to the nail surface and ensure to cap the free edge. Let dry. If required this step can be repeated if full coverage was not achieved with one layer but is not always necessary.
Step 4: Condition the nail – after drying then condition the nail and cuticles with cuticle oil. Repeat cuticle oil treatment twice daily to promote healthy nails.
Do I need a base coat with CND Vinylux ?
No. Applying a base coat will actually create a barrier between the colour layer and the nail surface which will interfere with the adhesion promoters that are in the colour coat itself.
Can CND Shellac be layered ?
Don't stop there create your own or have a look on Google images for other people's creative ideas.


Here are some pictures of the $30 replacement steel fan that fits on the RR viscous clutch. This fan is 18" diam, where the OEM plastic fan is 16 7/8" diam., so my shroud would not fit. Also, the steel fan is much louder than the plastic stock fan, especially at cold start. But, as Ali will attest to, it pulls a LOT of air!
Thanks to Michael Slade for finding this fan at his local autozone for cheap. My personal opinion is that it is a great item to have as a spare or emergency part, maybe in the club's trailer for example, but I'll stick with the plastic fan and OEM shroud for quietness... unless we can find an electric that pulls as much air as the OEM plastic fan.
"You can buy from Autozone a metal replacement fan for $24.99. It bolts directly onto the back of the VC with no modifications.
Part no: Imperial Automotive Products 18 inch flex fan 220618"
Fan blade tips poke above radiator an inch or so... keep your fingers clear with engine running!
I replaced my plastic fan because it had developed cracks in it. This picture was taken October 18, 2003, at 108,700 miles, about 4 months since installation. You can see a very large crack has developed just below the fan blade at the top. I labeled the fan blade when I installed it to remind me how long it would last. I figured a few years or more... not less than four months!!
Note: this fan is the white plastic version, it is a different color from the yellowish plastic fan that my RR had on it when I bought it... I assume the yellowish fan is OEM, and the white is aftermarket. This fan has an ALLMAKES sticker on it...which is also falling off.
The supplier replaced the defective part with no problems, obviously they don't control build quality.
There is a temp sender for the fans on the gooseneck from the intake manifold, just down stream of the thermostat. The ECU monitors from the sender on the side of the intake manifold. When operating temps get above a set point (200 F ?) the switch in the gooseneck closes and the aux fans turn on. If the ECU senses a manifold temp above a certain point (202F ?) it triggers a timing relay to run the fans for a certain time after the motor is turned off. This relay is mounted on the passenger foot well near the fuel pump relay and is triggered by the ECU connecting it to ground. So if you want to do it manually, wiring in a second switched ground wire would do the trick. Same for the fan relay thatm is triggered by the switch in the gooseneck.
What do we know about controlling the OEM LR elec fans on the RR? They come on with AC, but also with over temp?
I notice mine on a few times even though I haven't had AC on, and the temp gauge is perfect. What additional sensor turns these guys on? Does the ECU control them directly or are they controlled simply by relay logic? Sometimes it seems that if I turn on the AC, they obviously come one, but I'll turn AC off, and they will stay on for awhile, or until I shut car off, and then restart... as if the ECU is controllign them with some kind of delay timers after seeing an AC call for cooling.
I was doing some research on radiator fan options, specifically for 86-93 Classics. I notice there is a generic spec 18" fan many people are using. Some have had trouble with clearance issues, and ground down the blades which isn't the best idea. I thought I might be able to better this or at least add to it and came up with the following.
So, I went on over to http://www.flex-a-lite.com/auto/html/belt-driven-fans.html . Looks like their 5717 17" universal mount steel clutch fan might work. http://store.summitracing.com/partdetail.asp?part=FLX%2D5717 lists it as $32, and I bet most part stores could order it.
I was also checking out other options since I have never had the best luck with viscous clutches on my Scout. Flex-a-Lite sells a spin-on to standard fixed-fan converter 852 intended for Fords and some Chryslers. It has a 30MMx1.5 mounting stud. If this would work, it would open up a range of fan options and possibly assist in locating a viscous clutch alternative in the $40 range.
Among the options for fans if this is the case - Flex fan 1317 7blade quiet flex fan 1817 Or if one is worried about bending a flexfan while fording, there is always their generic fixed steel fan 1617 And other less enticing options.
Of course the reason for this diatribe was to surf for comments/suggestions/other info. Ideally someone would be able to verify the size of the mounting stud on the clutch hub, as I don't have a RR... yet.

Financial Sector (XLF) : Tentative Breakout?
The XLF ETF finally broke on July 11 a Minor Resistance Trendline.
But what is interesting indeed is that at a time were the Financial Sector is only catching up to the Mighty SP500 Index, we have been testing the past few trading sessions a Major Daily Resistance Trendline that started back since July 23 2015 (peak in price in that Bull cycle) but on a weak trading Volume environment. IF broken, it can give a strong outperformance to the SPY ETF. (See first chart below - Thick Red Trendline - Ellipse).

BIM and SustainabilityRyan White2020-03-26T15:35:28+00:00
Sustainability is big right now. In the world of construction, you don't have to look very long until you see the word pop up in some way, shape or form. Accordingly, it was only a matter of time before the sustainability conversation and BIM met head-on. The benefits of BIM at this point should be clear, but in conjunction with this notion of sustainability, its potential to realise buildings and constructions with lower environmental effects becomes increasingly apparent.
The question is, how exactly do the two meet, and why does the latter have this potential to support buildings in a sustainable way?
What do we mean by sustainable construction?
As we move towards more environmentally-conscious approaches in our daily lives, it follows that not only should buildings and structures be environmentally responsible and resource-efficient, the application of processes should adhere to these same methods too.
Sustainable construction is a measure of architectural potential, technical prowess and transferability combined with a social responsibility and environmental performance that's becoming more and more common today.
Put simply, sustainable structures meet the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. Typically, sustainable construction works to:
Enhance living, working and leisure environments for individuals and communities.
Use minimal energy and generate minimum waste over the course of its lifecycle.
Integrate with the natural environment.
Use renewable resources where possible.
Since commercial facilities use a lot of energy, coupled with rapid worldwide urban development, sustainable construction is clearly an important approach.
Where does BIM come into it?
You'll have seen us mention the benefits of BIM by now, but how exactly does it intersect with sustainable construction in an advantageous, effective way? BIM's many benefits help to streamline sustainability at three key stages: the design, construction and operation phases.
Greater transparency during the design phase
BIM fosters a more transparent process at the design phase. When design data is added to a shared model, those involved in the project can access a real-time summary of what products and materials are being proposed, how they will be installed and performance expectations after the project has been completed.
The transparency afforded here allows for contractors, energy engineers, suppliers and more to advise on the structure's overall construction and operation of the building early on, providing greater sustainability at the design phase before spending anything. This means that only environmentally-responsible materials and methods are used, as well as saving time and money on reworking and rescheduling.
Greater efficiency at the design and construction phases
The 3D models provided by BIM mean streamlined real-time collaboration and simulation at every step of the process, allowing for workflows to be reviewed and enhanced at every stage.
The knock-on effects on sustainability are several: it saves time, improves efficiency, enhances design, reduces errors and provides a quantifiable opportunity for the building's lifelong environmental impact to be lessened. The positive results are in line with sustainable construction's whole philosophy.
Greater control during the operations phase
After a project has been completed, the ease with which 3D models can be shared means that the ongoing operations of a building can be fulfilled with maximum potential. The link with sustainability is apparent as the long-term maintenance of the structure comes to the fore. Since all data concerning replacements, refurbishments and renewals is readily available, all stakeholders are able to eliminate the surprises as the completed project continues to thrive.
To this end, some construction professionals are taking advantage of this aspect by including long-term, environmentally-conscious operational recommendations and maintenance schedules in their completed project parameters. This adds value for building owners, improves overall sustainability and strengthens relationships with clients.
Put simply, the aspects of integrative design, multiple stakeholder collaboration, common goal-setting, efficient concept presentation, speedy decision-making and dialogue between stakeholders are as integral to sustainable design processes as they are to BIM construction.
BIM and sustainability in practice
An example of BIM working with sustainability in real life can be seen in the Miami Science Museum or MiaSci. As a structure, it's a leading light in sustainable design, with a focus and duty on operating as a science institution with the highest environmental standards, all while fostering a healthy regional economy and community in the process.
With a design overseen by Grimshaw Architects, MiaSci was awarded a grant from the US Department of Energy in 2009 as a means of fully exploring differing environmental issues during the design stage in order to ultimately create a greener building. BIM consultation helped the architects specifically model how solar strategies, water systems, and the shape of the building itself impact ventilation, allowing each to maximise their potential to reduce energy and external resource requirements.
For instance, a building's location is something that's taken into consideration when it comes to sustainability. As a result, MiaSci has carefully integrated the direction and location of the sun into its design to allow for both passive and active solar design strategies. BIM was used here to model varying solar conditions throughout the day and year to help design the building shape itself.
The museum has been likened to a sponge when it comes to its water catchment. The roof houses a water feature that provides bio-filtration as well as a temporary means of rainwater retention for later irrigation. Similarly, the building's shape has been designed in a way to work with the pattern of wind, with its ventilation and airflow analysed and studied through BIM. In order for the museum not to create too little or too much wind, the use of BIM to study wind velocities and pressure build-up has resulted in the creation of a canyon-like opening through the museum to relieve this pressure.
It is this consultation and analysis which has led the building to be a truly sustainable structure, a precedent by which all future green building initiatives will be measured. Perfectly bringing together the world of BIM and sustainability.
