Tips To Hire The Best Crime Scene Cleaning Company in Poto, UT and Las Vegas, NV

Continuing to live in the same home that has turned into a crime scene can be scary and worrisome at the same time. True, one has to cooperate with the law enforcement authorities and investigation teams that arrive with special equipment. But expecting them to clean up after the investigators depart with the body would be a mistake. Instead, one must contact a crime scene cleaning company in Poto, UT, and Las Vegas, NV, that is reputed to provide excellent services.

It is important to remember that one needs to hire a credible company, not a wannabe expert who has previously been a janitor. While an occupant of the home or a victim's family member is not expected to understand all nuances, engaging the right company for the cleanup is a necessity that cannot be ignored.

One of the best ways to ensure proper services is to make inquiries. Surprisingly, the local authorities are not opposed to providing guidance either. The following instructions must be followed to a T to ensure proper cleaning, sanitization, and deodorization of the crime scene that does not remind the family members of the horrific incident anymore.

· Efficiency- The cleanup must be done speedily and thoroughly to ensure the well-being of the occupants left behind. Remembering that a crime scene may have blood spills, bodily fluids, and remnants of tissue on the floor and nearby surfaces is vital. Having a cleanup team with the right cleaning equipment and products helps keep biohazards away. Moreover, asking around may help a person locate an empathetic company that includes technicians who are compassionate and understanding of the tragic circumstance

· Specialization- Many companies claim to be experts in cleaning up such scenes. One has to take such tall claims with a pinch of salt, though. Cleaning up a crime scene requires special expertise and knowledge about pathogens. Removal of biohazards is a top priority here. Identifying hazardous items and disposing of them per the standards takes precedence, too.

· Accreditation- Word of mouth is insufficient proof to engage a company for such sensitive cleanup. It is essential to make inquiries about their expertise and request their credentials before making the final decision in their favor. Following the mandate of EPA & OSHA is a necessity that should not be overlooked either. Moreover, it would help one’s cause to ask about the following certifications:

· API Worksafe certification

· Crime Scene Cleanup license

· Decontamination certification from AMDECON

· IICRC certification for Odor control

· OSHA specialists tested the Code of Safe Practices

Experience is paramount, as one cannot trust a newcomer to clean immaculately without violating the standards. The chosen crime scene cleaner in North Las Vegas and Las Vegas, NV, should be equipped with the right training and knowledgeable about the practices used to ensure the safety of the other cleaners and customers.

hi! by chance do you happen to have any photos of that stagehand outfit the phantom wears during il muto in the restaged tour? i don’t know if it’s a more recent addition to the production but i’ve only ever seen two quick bts photos of anton zetterholm and josh pitterman!

The best photo I have is probably these of Chris Mann in the Restaged US Tour:

You can see more - and an explanation - in this photoset. And yes, it is a more recent addition to POTO in terms of the Phantom wearing it. It reminds of 'Love Never Dies', where the Phantom does a similar disguise stunt as a bartender. But original POTO features actual stagehands and actors wearing these type of costumes throughout to the show. Kinda feels like they sat there with all these costumes and decided "Hey! Let's have fun with them!"...

Here's some of the stagehand costumes used in the original staging - but then worn by people who either do stagehand work for real, or within the play (and not being the Phantom). The most prominent viewing is inside the elephant in Hannibal:

And carrying dead Piangi across stage:

I guess members of the mob chasing into the Phantom's lair in the end of the second act could also qualify as stagehands:

It varies what kind of headwear they use, if the waistcoat is single or double breasted, if they wear a necktie, and if they wear an apron - there is a large variety. In the original design Maria Bjørnson added rare workwear quirks like a printmaker's hat (literally a hat of folded paper, looking like a box), separate knitted or sewn sleeves, and a wide array of aprons and tool belts. Her level to attention and a dash of historical accuracy will never fail to amaze me! But a typical stagehand costume in POTO may look like what Dustin Layton wore in Las Vegas:

Which, with variations and a different hat, is what they have the Phantom in disguise wear in the Restaged Tour.

(ETA: Buquet's costume is also made in this style, so that he technically blends with the other stage workers. Ditto for Meg Giry in the Final Lair)

[glassprism]

I'm curious about your assessment of the impacts of the cuts made in the Las Vegas POTO production.

I suppose my overall assessment is that I never really get used to them, especially because I'm so used to the show as it is, but I understand why it was done, and I think they masked the transition between Act I and Act II fairly well. I do think it could have been done better in some areas - Act II, already the shorter act to begin with, really feels chopped to pieces in the Las Vegas version, and I think it would have been far better to chop off part of 'Think of Me' instead of 'Point of No Return' (and 'Think of Me' is my favorite song, so you know I'm being serious here).

But you know what, in return for the cuts, we get a bigger, bolder, more bombastic, and legitimately spectacular version of the show, so I feel like the trade is more than equal!

Tu connais le XboxSpace ?

Aujourd’hui, je vais faire un peu de promo pour les potos du bar XboxSpace (en fait c’est un space sur TwitterX qui parle de jeux vidéo, mais allez savoir pourquoi, ils ont décidé d’en faire un bar très rapidement après mon départ). Le concept est simple, réunir les passionnés de gaming chaque mardi à 21 heures et le vendredi à 19 heures pour discuter des dernières sorties et de l’actualité du moment. Débats, discussions enflammées et parfois mauvaise foi sont au programme, mais toujours dans le respect, la joie et la bonne humeur. Animé par quatre éphèbes de bonne famille, que je vais vous présenter dans un instant, le bar XboxSpace est un lieu d’échange fantastique dont les rediffusions sont disponibles également en podcast. Que vous soyez un nolife enfermé dans une cave ou bien un érudit de la manette, vous êtes tous les bienvenus dans ce troquet du web, autant pour participer à la conversation que pour tout simplement écouter et commenter en direct. Allez, trêve de bavardages, laissez moi vous présenter nos quatre compères.

Frank alias @LiveAtenium

Ancien top model (oui il est très beau) et actuelle égérie de la marque de charcuterie Monique Ranou, Frank a commencé à s’intéresser aux jeux vidéo à l’age de 3 ans, juste après avoir connu des démêlés avec la justice pour organisation de courses urbaines. Une fois revenu sur le droit chemin, il eut une apparition de la princesse Peach un soir d’été, alors qu’il travaillait sur la résolution du mystère du triangle des Bermudes, qui lui suggéra de se lancer dans une carrière de ventriloque chaussettier (oui la marionnette est une chaussette). Depuis ce jour Frank travaille avec acharnement à peaufiner son personnage et parcours les plus grands cabarets du monde. Entre deux vols pour Las Vegas (il a fait les premières parties de Céline Dion) ou durant ses vacances dans sa maison secondaire de Vesoul, il pratique avec ardeur sa passion du gaming sur sa Xbox collector Taylor Swift edition.

Jérémy alias @djedi62

Alors qu’il n’a encore que 24 ans, Jérémy découvre une étrange partie de son anatomie, lors d’une douche, son pouce. Intrigué par cet outil incroyablement flexible, il décide de se lancer dans une carrière d’auto-stoppeur devant le rayon “produits asiatiques” de l’Intermarché de Cahors. Malgré sa bonne volonté, l’aventure est de courte durée, il n’arriva à se faire déposer en caddie que jusqu’au rayon multimédia. Mais un mal cachant souvent un bien, il découvre avec émerveillement sa première console Xbox, machine ingénieuse équipée d’une manette, qui lui permettra à l’avenir d’utiliser ce fameux pouce. Depuis ce jour, Jérémy dédie sa vie au gaming sur sa chaîne YouTube en streamant comment mourir dans un jeu en moins de 5 minutes. Il a récemment participé à une émission télévisée chinoise (Pousse-pousse), en tant que spécialiste culinaire.

Sofiane alias @gamemovieshow

Titulaire d’un diplôme de karatayyy, Sofiane a commencé sa carrière en tant que concepteur de salles de repos chez Ikea, pour permettre aux clients perdus et abattus de pouvoir se reposer entre deux tentatives de trouver la sortie des magasins suédois. Après une rencontre décisive avec Jean-Claude Van Damme, au championnat du monde de pêche au canard de Villebon-sur-Yvette, ce dernier décide de le prendre sous son aile. Après des mois d’entrainement, Sofiane est embauché au Paris Saint Germain, club de football qu’il affectionne, comme trancheur de citrons à la main sur planches de casse. C’est en traînant avec les stars du club durant les déplacements en bus, qu’il découvre le jeu FIFA et par la même, les jeux vidéos. Electronic Arts lui a d’ailleurs rendu hommage dans son dernier jeu récemment, en l’intégrant au bord du terrain avec ses agrumes.

Bernard alias @MaxiKagemusha

Bernard découvre les jeux vidéo très tôt, alors qu’il s’amuse à enfoncer ses doigts dans la prise électrique de sa chambre, une étincelle jaillit de son cerveau, il doit se rendre en Colombie afin de rencontrer un certain Pablo. Après, plusieurs heures de vol et une pause twix au chocolat au lait (et non pas cette abomination au chocolat blanc), il se retrouve dans les rues de Medellin, à la recherche dudit personnage. Ce n’est que quelques jours plus tard, qu’il fera la rencontre de Maria, son actuelle femme, qui lui propose de faire passer des Game Boy Color particulièrement lourdes de Medellin vers Paris. Amoureux et intrigué par ces petites machines amusantes, Bernard accepte et profite du vol retour pour jouer à Tetris sur l’une des machines qu’il transporte. Depuis ce jour, il n’a cessé de jouer aux jeux vidéo et continue ses trajets régulièrement avec de nouvelles consoles. Sa femme, Maria, a reçu de la part d’Emmanuel Macron, la légion d’honneur pour services rendus à la patrie en 2019.

Rendez-vous chaque mardi et vendredi pour faire leur connaissance !

How does the Las Vegas phantom dangle from the chandelier? Suspension of disbelief

According to the information submitted to me previously, a stuntman squeezes in through the top of the chandelier and drops out the bottom in a harness!

[toru771]

Much earlier than yesterday (back in March, in fact), I got a souvenir from the Las Vegas Spectacular! Many thanks to Courtney Combs, who was the dance captain in that company I still remember fondly. 😊

Quarantine Phantom Gifting and Discussion.

Greetings, all.

I hope everyone is staying safe during this terrible time. I thought perhaps I might do some gifting. I am more of an archivist than a trader, but I am the master of many Phantom audios. Older casts are my specialty as I have seen the show many times and in many different places over many years. So, without further ado, I’m going to start with the first one. If you download anything I gift, please be a darling and write your thoughts on the performance, performers. I’d love to talk about this with all of you! | The Phantom of The Opera (Original Swedish Cast) https://mega.nz/file/61lmzYrL#44YTIFtUH9o5frE9rJuVJn0NwgCzqWQXFW4Yl7a11ZU This is a fresh rip from a CD copy owned by yours truly.

NATIONS HOSTING BOTH REPLICA AND NON-REPLICA POTO

United Kingdom: The UK saw the world premiere of ALW's POTO in 1986. They've also since seen the RAH staging (2011), the original UK Tours (1993-2000), the UK Tour Revival (2000), and the West End Revival (2021). It was also in the UK the new Restaged Tour was first launched (2012-2013).

United States: The US was the first opening outside the UK, premiering in 1988, and also had three national tours (1989-2010) and the Las Vegas Spectacular (2006-2012). They furthermore hosted the Restaged Tour (2013-2020).

Austria: Austria was the fourth country to host the original staging (1988-1993). In 2024 they welcomed back the musical, this time as the Restaged Tour.

Canada: Canada was the fifth country to host the original staging, in 1989. The production ran for a whopping ten years, closing in 1999. There were also various Canadian tours (1991-1998), touring nationally and internationally. They later hosted multiple visits of both US Tour and the Restaged Tour.

Australia: Australia was the eight country to host the original staging, opening in Melbourne in 1990 and later turning into a Australian and NZ Tour (until 1998). The musical would return many times as a leg of the World Tour. Uniquely, they also hosted the first out-door version at Sydney Harbour in 2022, as well as staging the Restaged Tour in Sydney and Melbourne (2022-2023).

Spain: The original Madrid production ran from 2002-2004. When POTO returned in 2023 it was in the form of the new "Mediterranean" version opening in Trieste in Italy the same year. The production also visited Bilbao, before returning to Madrid.

Dubai: The first POTO production to hit Dubai was the World Tour in 2019. In 2024 POTO returned, this time as a part of the Middle East Tour, presenting the Romanian/Norwegian production.

Switzerland: The original Basel production ran from 1995-1997. This year POTO returned in the form of the Romanian/Norwegian production, touring the Middle East and Europe.

Sweden: Sweden was the sixth country to host the original staging, in Stockholm for an impressive six years (1989-1995). They also later did a revival (2016-2017). They furthermore hosted the Finnish/Swedish version in Gothenburg (2017-2018), as well as a unique new staging in Kristianstad (2000-2003).

Soon to be added: Belgium (1999-2000 / 2025). Ireland was also meant to host the UK Tour Revival in May 2020, but for obvious reasons that was cancelled. They had previously hosted the Restaged Tour in 2012-2013. (Also, I have not included concert versions)
