Feeling that it's closure is imminent, I went to check out the last day(s?) of the Disney Store, it's getting pretty empty so I feel it's going to close before next Monday...
Fixtures, not for sale so I imagine they'll be shipped to the remaining stores or just back to Disney or something...
Taken with a first production batch Leica II camera dating from 1932 fitted with a 50mm f3.5 Leitz Elmar Lens. Film used was Agfa APX 100 B&W developed in kitchen sink and negatives hung on garden line to dry. I use a daylight changing bag to get the negatives into the developer tank. The chemicals used where out of date Ilford multigrade paper developer & fixer. Due to chemicals being out of date the film came out very thin. Scanned with Xsane in Teenpup 2010 Linux.

When you try your best, but you don't succeed
When you get what you want, but not what you need
When you feel so tired, but you can't sleep
Stuck in reverse
And the tears come streaming down your face
When you lose something you can't replace
When you love someone, but it goes to waste
Could it be worse?
Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you
As a car guy and contemporary mechanic, I must refer to old text and manuals when I do any type of repairs to my old Plymouth. Seen here is one of my die-cast models of my favourite all time cars -the 1957-1959 Plymouths and a guide to "home repairs".

One of the problems with my old MacBook Pro was the unresponsive keyboard/trackpad due to the improper installation of the flex cable in the manufacturing process. This is a common problem with old MacBook Pros.
Apple Store quoted me $400-1,000 for the fix, so I decided to fix this by myself. The replacement cable was just $20.
After the fix, my old MacBook Pro runs flawlessly :-)
20180214_163049 Copyright © VW Selburn 2018: I've placed the wall hook inside the fixing the actual way it will hang the mirror to demonstrate how I have hung my mirrors. It was not too difficult to do. You can see my pencil mark below the fixing bar. For heavy mirrors or large pictures with glass fronts I would recommend using these fixings because with care it is easy to affix them to a wall exactly level if you have a large (long) spirit level to align the screw holes. This is especially useful when hanging two identically sized pictures side by side. Trying to hang two pictures exactly level side by side when they have fixings of ring hooks and wire hanging string on the back of them is much more difficult. I have done it and they were level enough but not exact - and of course they moved. After using these mirror fixings I will never use string again for large pictures or mirrors. This type of metal fixing ensures that once level the pictures or mirrors will not move.
Regardless if your considering your 1st Tattoo , luvin' your latest or sportin' a seasoned piece , post healing sun protection is a must in order to keep your Tattoo looking its best for life... its almost never too late to start good protective habits!
All, and I mean ALL Tattoo pigments (ink) WILL fade due to sun exposure! (tanning beds are just as brutal on a Tattoo!!) , Color , B&G or BlackWork are all subject to the ravages of sun exposure , and if a potential Artist tells you His or Her ink won't fade my best advice to you is find the nearest exit & be on your way , I can't stand a damn liar & refuse to let such a sack-o-crapp do my Tatt !
Pigments , the base of any color or tone ,will fade from exposure to UV Rays and in a Tattoo fading is a real kick in the butt , no matter how well its applied ,the skill or talent of the Artist after healing its up-to YOU to protect it FOR LIFE ...many clients have a problem with placing the blame for a dull or weak looking Tattoo on the Artist & often enough (not always! ,but more often than not) it's the client that was a slacker in His or Her duty's to maintain the piece , it only takes a few trips into the sun or tanning bed to begin the fading & the only fix for that is to go under the needle again & I would rather take such adventures in an Artist's chair to get another Tattoo rather than redo whats already been done... but that's just me.
~As in any piece of Art , be it a painting , fresco , tapestry and so on safeguarding the work from damage is a ongoing task ..Tattoos are no different~
AFTER proper healing ,protecting your Tattoo(s) will be necessary for as long as you desire it to look the best , not a big deal, but its a ongoing need & by simply applying a good sunblock ANY & ALL times sun exposure is possible you can protect your ink... a Tattoo is yours for the rest of your life & protecting it is a life long responsibility.
*** FOR THE RECORD ***
Sunscreen is not sunblock , anything less than a SPF of 45 is an utter waste of time & will only -slightly- offer protection ,the smaller the SPF number the less it helps.
The absolute best protection I have found is a total sunblock & a product called "Zinc Oxide" (available at your local pharmacy or other shopping centers) ,yea yea I know its a diaper rash medication but its usefulness for protection is outstanding and is my best suggestion & ought be applied to the Tattooed area of the skin 15+ minutes prior to venturing out into the sun or cookin your hyde in a tanning bed ,its a ointment ,generally white in color but an assortment of similar products in assorted colors are available if you prefer. (doubtful your pharmacy will carry that but often surf-shops & other specialty stores have such pretty products)
...I will use "Panama Jack's SURF 'N SPORT SPF 75 Sunblock Lotion" or a similar product if Zinc Oxide is not available.
{for those with sensitive skin Baby or Infant Sunscreen or Sunblock products are available & are generally hypoallergenic ,water resistant & moisturizing to the skin , but keep a minimum SPF of 45 in mind ..the higher the SPF the better!}
!! -if you time in the sun exceeds 4+ hour's I would suggest a booster like a spray-on sunscreen is rather useful & a quick fix , I personally use "Coppertone's ultraGUARD SPF 50" ,but a similar product is acceptable- !!
-- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- --
Many clients &/or fellow Artist have told me they never heard &/or thought of such protective measures but I assure you its worth it I personally have Tattoos that were done 10 , 15 & 20 years ago & guarantee they look bolder & brighter now due to my consistent use of "Zinc Oxide" than they would if I had not.
Weather riden' ,doing yardwork ,poolside ,at the beach on vacation or out -N- about protecting my Tatt's is worth it & when asked I gladly enplane ~or~ for fun I have often looked at people that just gawk & in a stern & miffed tone say;
"WHAT !! ..I'm a fuhhkin leper! , they don't exile us to islands or ban us from the general public anymore , keep staren' & I'll toss a finger at ya!!!" (as I grab my finger)
HaHaaHaaaah ! ..then smile & explane (LOL!)
;-D

It's your Tattoo & upto you to take the simple steps to preserve the efforts of your Artist & keep your Epidermal Art looking its best...
I tell all my Clients;
THINK ZINC - PROTECT YOUR INK !!!!!!!

In the middle of lunch, Jericho stood up in his chair, lifted his shirt and started fiddling around with his stomach. We asked him what he was doing. He answered, "I'm fixing my bellybutton" I understood every word, but I still have no idea what he meant.
A Fixer, who grew up worrying about her mother’s binge drinking, is showing the emotional pain it can cause children.
Her story was broadcast on ITV News Central on Thursday 6th March.
Seventeen-year-old Fixer ‘Daisy’, whose real name has not been used, endured many sleepless nights coping with her mum’s alcohol problem.
‘She didn’t drink every night and every day. It was just that when she did go drinking, she’d come back very, very drunk,’ Daisy explains.
‘She would say she’d be back at about 12, but wouldn’t be home until 2, 3 or 4 in the morning.
‘It happened over and over again. I’d put her to bed and wouldn’t go myself until I knew she was asleep.
‘As a teenager, I didn’t think of it as my mum having an illness. I just thought she was abandoning me. I felt very alone.’
