We now know who was Georgia's "Plan B" to Tony Parker.
Houston Kessler, a 6-foot-8, 210-pound forward out of Landmark Christian School in Fairburn, signed with the Bulldogs on Tuesday night and faxed in his signed letter-of-intent Wednesday morning, his coach confirmed.
"They have been watching him since his sophomore year," Landmark Christian coach Chip McAllister said via email. "They have always really liked him. He had a huge year this year and as the season wore on things just fell into place."
Kessler is a UGA legacy, the son of former Georgia basketball player Chad Kessler and the nephew of the late Alec Kessler, who starred for the Bulldogs' 1990 SEC championship team. Kessler averaged 22 points and 11 rebounds as a senior at the Class A private school and finished as Landmark's career scoring leader at 1,600 points. The War Eagles have gone 39-16 over the past two seasons, including a 20-8 mark in 2012 that was capped by a Round of 16 showing in the Class A state tournament.
"Houston is a skilled forward," coach Mark Fox said in a statement released by UGA. "He is a great shooter and rebounder and we are looking forward to having him join our team next year."
McAllister described Kessler as a great shooter and rebounder and "very hard worker."
"He's still developing as a player," McAllister said. "He has a huge upside. He's still growing. Phenomenal kid, brilliant student, Salutatorian of his class. Underrated athleticism. Diamond in the rough."
Kessler becomes the fourth and final member of Georgia's 2012 recruiting class. He joins 6-4 guard Kenny Gaines of Whitefield Academy, 6-6 guard Charles Mann of Milton and 6-8 forward Brandon Morris of Miller Grove.
Parker, a 6-9, 280-pound forward from Miller Grove and a McDonald's All-American, chose UCLA over UGA on Monday.

Great to have him as a Dawg. Hope he plays like his brothers.
In the end this might work out best for Fox, as you would think he is there for four years.
And he wants to be at UGA.

DGD! Welcome home!
April 25th, 2012

Good to see this happening.
Hope he can contribute like his father and late uncle.
April 25th, 2012

Whoopi!!! That's a great replacement for Parker….NOT. UGA basketball should jut go intramural and play the late night college kids
April 25th, 2012
10:31 am
Welcome Houston! Alec was a DGD and proud to have you in Athens!
April 25th, 2012
10:33 am
Finally, a REAL BULLDAWG! I am tired of spoiled players. We have a smart, talented, HUNGRY, Dawg! I have coached h.s. basketball and taught for 33 years. I used to support AAU. No longer.
April 25th, 2012
10:33 am
I hoped that he would be the plan B. We will get more our of him in 4 years than Parker in 2.
April 25th, 2012
10:34 am
Sounds like he's 2 or 3 inches taller than his Dad was already. Chad was good and had great fundamentals and could have used some more height. I'm thinking Houston will turn out to be a good player. Not suprised he's a good student.
April 25th, 2012
10:35 am
If he has the athleticism and basketball smarts of his father and uncle he will be a great pick up.
April 25th, 2012
10:36 am
YEAH !!! Go Dawgs… BBall program going up hill !!!
April 25th, 2012
10:36 am
As a tech alum, I have to say that there are few players that I enjoyed watching more than Chad and Alec. Nobody worked harder and nobody played to their potential like those guys. Great students and great citizens…Houston will be good for UGA and unlike that prima donna, he will be thrilled to be a bulldog.
April 25th, 2012
10:44 am
Great news for Houston and the Bulldog Nation. Congratulations and best of luck in Athens; don't forget to get your great education as a scholar athlete and you'll be set for life.
April 25th, 2012
10:45 am
Kid sounds like a player, excited to see him play. Glad to hear he's part of a legacy too, that's always a good thing at UGA. Forget Tony Parker and his hollywood bull crap. Donte Williams is gonna bulk up this offseason and CMF is gonna build him and Kessler up into a dominating inside presence hopefully. Go Dawgs!

11:01 am
Oh yea, Chad and Alec were friends from HS, great guys. I played with both and they were awesome. Chad was better in HS but I only knew him his senior year so he was already developed, Alex was good, I went away to Marine Corps and came back and he dunked on me hard (summer before UGA inroll) and just smiled like I got you now.
I'll always remember Alec, he was great kid, great player and very smart, was top accademic All-American for all NCAA sports, Micro-biology major, and 1st round NBA pick.
Chad was just as good of a guy and congrats to his son. If he's anything like his dad and uncle he will represent UGA well.

April 25th, 2012
11:42 am
Isn't it a contradiction that he's a brilliant student and a future UGA enrollee? I didn't know you could be both in order to get into the farming school!
April 25th, 2012
11:43 am
I would rather have Kessler than an egotistical one and done player. Kessler will be a great Bulldawg.
Who was impressed with Parker's Lebron like announcement earlier this week. I am glad he took his talentZ elsewhere.
April 25th, 2012
11:45 am
Team GPA will go up, he will be there at least 4 years, and he may develop into an outstanding player. Win Win!
April 25th, 2012
11:46 am
Congrats on seeing Houston Kessler continue the family legacy with Georgia Basketball. I saw both his and his uncle play in HS at Roswell, then continue their stellar collegiate careers at Georgia. Houston is already the same size as his dad (Chad is 6-foot-8), and could develop into a tremendous player both on and off the court. You guys are right – the Dawgs will get more out of Kessler in four seasons than they would have out of Parker in one or two.
April 25th, 2012
11:48 am
Amen, Dap01. I started watching that thing hopeful we would get him and finished up almost (not totally, but almost) relieved that we didn't.
April 25th, 2012
11:51 am
Ok there these kid really 6″4, 6″6, and 6″8. How about two inches shorter I bet
April 25th, 2012
11:57 am
Good deal, hopefully he can add some weight/muscle. They definitely need more big men.
April 25th, 2012
11:59 am
Mateo if I;m not mistaken Alex was a Rhodes Scholar and graduated in the medical field. When was the last time one of your player's graduated with such a pedigree other than car jacking?
Nice to have a real Georgia kid staying home instead of some pompous arse jerk.
April 25th, 2012
12:15 pm
A big guy that can shoot and hustles is always an asset. His dad was a DGD. Congrats Houston !
April 25th, 2012
12:17 pm
His dad and his uncle were DGD's.
Hope this kid can grow and mature and get stronger and be a help in the paint.
Face facts, he is no tony Parker but he will be around 4 years and his posse is a lot easier to deal with
April 25th, 2012
12:27 pm
Very good memories of the Kessler Brothers in my days. I like this a lot.
April 25th, 2012
12:29 pm
If he is anything like his dad and uncle (and I suspect he will be if not already) then we just picked up a hell of a player who will hard and help us. Great pick up! I enjoyed watching his dad and brother play and I really like this signing! Good move coach!
April 25th, 2012
12:31 pm
Never forget watching his dad force Shaq to foul out that fine spring day.
Or his Uncle kicking my butt in a Physics class one summer.
April 25th, 2012
12:36 pm
This great news!!! A very bright, hard working super player who will be with us for four years. Parker would have been great, but high maintenance and most likely a "1 and done" type player.
April 25th, 2012
12:37 pm
I wish Kessler the best but I am very sadden that Tony Parker didn't sign with the dawgs because I was looking forward to watching him play. Good luck to the young man. UGA is No. 2 in the nation in football revenue(71mil), trailing only Texas and should consider using some of that money to build a state of the art basketball arena and maybe hire a very good hc(Brad Stevens) who knows how to relate to today's players………that is if Fox doesn't work out.
This state has produce enough nba star players that if UGA and GT had had better basketball arenas and the best coaches that money can buy, I believe both programs would have won many championships. Those things would inspire these young men to want to play for their home state.
Star NBA Players From GA:
1) Walt Frazier
2) World B. Free
3) Norm Nixon
4) Wilbur Holland
5) Mike Mitchell
6) Lloyd Neal
7) Robert Reid
Elmore Smith
9) Shareef Abdur-Rahim
10) Dale Ellis
11) Derek Harper
12) Horace Grant

Congrats to UGA. This kid is fantastic. Athletic, already competes at a very high level, aggressive, and very smart. Yeah for Houston !!!! And I agree….hey Tony Paker, as NJ Govenor Christie told the Nets who are headed to Brooklyn, "go on, I don't want you here anymore". Tony Parker's BIG Lebron like "I'm taking my talents to UCLA"……GOOD RIDDANCE YOU JOKE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

April 25th, 2012
12:47 pm
Good for him and y'all. He sounds like a student athlete that any program would be proud to have at the college/team. Echoing others, I would rather have a hard worker for 4 years than a prima donna for 1 or 2.
April 25th, 2012
12:49 pm
No 1 hour announcement party?? What's up with this kid?? You mean he actually has class, sportsmanship, and has a solid core group of folks giving him advice??
No AAU coach bending his ear???
April 25th, 2012
12:53 pm
This gives Fox a solid 4 man class. Kessler has a lot of room to grow as a player. Not signing this player would have been a mistake. This will partially make up for Fox not retaining Daniel Miller.
You UGA grads need to keep selling out the house for all home games.
April 25th, 2012
1:14 pm
In my opinion this is the approach that CMF needs to take in recruiting. We all want the 4 and 5 star great athletes that give you instant success, but with UGA's basketball tradition it's going to be really hard to convince those types of players to say no to Duke, North Carolina, Kentucky, UCLA, etc. Fox needs to go after the less heralded and perhaps less talented players (initially) that he can coach up and hang onto for 3 or 4 years and build the program into a consistent winner. With all the talent that is in this state Fox should be able to find plenty of those type of guys who want to play @ UGA. If Kessler grows into the type of player that his dad and uncle was, he will make all Dawg fans proud!
April 25th, 2012
1:15 pm
If you are a UGA fan, I have good news for you. The Dogs will be taking 6-7 OL in this class likely, and most will be in-state guys. Just be patient. We should be getting commits from 2-3 in the near future, and close on some others this summer.
If you are not a UGA fan, the above is bad news for you. There is a bumper crop of big uglies out there this year and the Dogs are going to clean up in that area.
As for Kessler, I remember watching his uncle and father play. Good pickup for the Dogs, though not a flashy one.

"He's still developing as a player," McAllister said. "He has a huge upside. He's still growing.
In other words, he isn't any good.

Tech fans – class post. And you should know that the other school in the running was Georgia Tech.
My son is in his class. He is everything written and what you hear. Great kid, great parents. I know Landmark will miss him for a lot more reasons that have nothing to do with basketball.
Will represent God, family, himself and Georgia well…

I was at that game and it was indeed a fine day! Unfortunate that 22 years later, we still stink on average and have never come close to that 1990 team…
Fire CMF!!

1:26 pm
anyone know of a kid name .Reuben Foster, I met him and he said he was a HS player. He said he was being recruited and was going to Alabama.
Is he any good, he seem like nice kid. Pretty big, I'm guessing he plays LB or RB
I asked him about Tech and he said he was planning on visiting, had friend there and would like to go to Tech.

Here are words you do not necessarily want to hear about regarding signees:
– huge upside
– great potential
– diamond in the rough
– underrated athleticism
"SETTLE" is the word to describe what just happened.
Let's put this into context of what just happened; UGA could not land proven bonafide targets – so they had to "SETTLE" on kids to get bodies into the program.
And UGA basketball is STILL in rebuild mode entering Coach Fox's 4th year.
1. Because UGA basketball is very comparable to INDIANA FOOTBALL.
2. The real talent wants to go to UCLA, Kentucky, Duke, North Carolina, Florida, Mich. State, etc. Just like the top recruits in football want to go to ALABAMA, USC, Ohio State, etc.
NO ELITE talent wants to go
April 25th, 2012
1:59 pm
Good for Mr. Kessler, I'm happy for him and I wish him well, but why did he have to plan B,does this mean if Tony Parker had said yes, would Mr. Kessler have to walk on or go somewhere else, you guys are some very funny and mean dawgs.

Did not like this at all, the balm finishes way sooner then the stain tip and one without the others is useless. Did not like the way it made my lips feel and is really hard to get off at the end of the day, will not be purchasing again.

I bought two colours:
Nothing But Nude - a fun shade that makes my lips look as if i just ate a popsicle. appears way lighter on the screen, though (bought it online).
Carry On Cherry - a pinkish shade of red, does actually look like a ripe cherry.
the moisturizer adds a nice texture to the lips and doesn't mess up the durability of the tint.
overall it does last longer than most lipstains/tints (more than an hour, to be the east) and it's easy to just reapply without a mirror, so I'm happy with it.

I love this product so much, I have about four different shades and I plan on getting more. For me, they don't dry out quickly at all, I bought my first one ages ago when they first came to england and it still hasnt dried up! Their colour does fade throughout the day, but I used them to add a slight bit of colour to me lips, and if I wanted colour that lasts all day id wear a lipstick. They are a bit pricey for what they do, but I buy the discontinued shades for a fraction of the price.

This is a rubbish product. I just bought it and i liked the color and stay. But I left the lid not properly secured for a couple of hrs (unintentionally of course) and when I wanted to reapply ,it was completely dry. I tried wiping it with a dry tissue as stated on the packaging, but no luck. It is like a stupid board marker , I had to throw it , would prefer other liquid lip tints. This is a no buy.

I have this in nothing but nude. The colour is good and doesn't transfer but it lasts about ten minutes! Have to constantly reapply and it also dries really quickly. Not a bad product but not a great one either.

I have this in Carry on Cherry. It dried after a week but still usable and hasn't gotten any drier (been about 6 months now?) It looks gorgeous on and isn't drying at all, even on it's own. The lasting power isn't too great though, its usually gone after one meal. Of course re applying would be the solution but I bought a stain because I hate reapplying in public like lipsticks. I will finish this tube but I'll try another stain/tint next time.

this for me is a great product because I've always liked the color and shape of my lips. I wore lipstick anyway for a more finished and glamorous look, but it does change the way people see your lips. This is like lipstick without the lipstick effect, and without the ickiness after you've been wearing lipstick for a while, eating, drinking, etc.I use the moisturizer and the color seperately.
It is definetly long lasting, even when it fades it still leaves a "natural" redness on your lips.
The only con is the colours are very limited. Maybe they will come out with more. The price is average.

My shade: I have 700 Nothing But Nude and 600 Carry On Cherry
All the colour of a lipstick, but without the thick drying feeling of one.
All the colour of a gloss, but without the shiny stickiness.
Applies easily.
Lasts a long time despite eating/drinking/kissing.
Comes with a clear balm to moisturize
Limited colour choice.
The Cherry shade sometimes looks a little messy when applied unless down very carefully.
Smell and taste a little odd.
Cherry colour transfers a little.

This is a really great product! I stumbled across this when I was searching for the Revlon just bitten lip stain and balm. I am really glad I found this! I think the quality is better than the Revlon one and it is cheaper. I bought the colour "timeless tango" and what I like about it is that you can build the colour to the effect you want. When I go to work and want something more natural I just sweep it lightly over my lips and when I want to go out in the evenings I can add more layers and the colour really stands out! The staying power is amazing! I specifically watched the clock and checked the mirror frequently and it stayed on about 8 hours and that includes eating, drinking and sleeping! I also dont find this one as drying as the Revlon one. I find that when I use Revlon I need to keep adding the balm throughout the day because my lips feel dry but with Rimmel I do not need to do this as my lips stay moisturised throughout the day. The consistency is also very nice. Its not too glossy like lip gloss (I hate that because your hair always gets stuck to it!) and not so matte like a lipstick. The only reason I took one Lippie off was because I think the balm stick is a bit short and if you use this product every day it could run out very fast (The Revlon balm stick is longer). Overall I am very impressed and it is a good replacement for lipgloss or lipstick. Will definitely buy again!

I *think* these might have gotten discontinued, which is a shame because they are a really good product. (FWIW though, Rimmel still has them listed on their site) I bought a couple when I saw Meijer clearancing them anyways. Like most of the felt tip lip stains, I like the fact that the color is very controllable and buildable. They are drying without any balm, but much like the Revlon stains.. Rimmel has added a balm to the end of these that moisturizes lips amazingly well after application of the stain and doesn't fade the stain. I purchased these in 2 colors, Nothing but Nude and Endless Blossom.
Nothing but Nude is a fabulous MLBB shade that has a bit of rosy tint without being brown, orange, or other unflattering shades that lots of nude tints/stains are on my lips. Combined with the balm, it makes my lips look like themselves only way better. I love that the balm just makes the color look moist...not overly shiny, greasy, or sticky.
Endless Blossom is one of my favorite lip products, possibly ever. It turns my lips the perfect shade of pink that looks completely natural. Basically the lighter pink version of MLBB. Again with the balm, the look is completely natural.
If you can find these, they are a must try IMO. One of the better drugstore stains I have tried and almost all the colors seem to be very natural and wearable.

Meet the Trainer: Erin Jacques
Written on February 12, 2013 at 9:46 am , by Jenna Autuori
What do you get when you blend Vinyasa with a cardio jam sesh? Erin Jacques' hardcore workout mash-up: SLT Yoga, featured in our Pumped Up Poses Express Workout. Get ready to chaturanga your way to a stronger, leaner bod by incorporating strength training and ploymetric elements into your typical flow!
Fitness has fueled the modern yogi's career for over fifteen years. After college, Erin landed a job with HBO/Time Warner, spearheading their corporate fitness program. She then moved on to working with Exhale Spa, leading the Core Fusion teacher training and becoming their National Yoga Director. Now, Erin is the cofounder of Manhattan's first music-focused yoga studio, SLT Yoga (Strengthen, Lengthen and Tunes,) where she created the kick-ass Shred class. Holy sweat! The passionate self-acclaimed part DJ, part marathoner is known for her expertise and dynamic, athletic twist to a spiritual experience. We asked Erin about the best yoga moves for runners, the number one yogi mistake and her motivation secrets. Here's what the Scrabble-lover had to say…and more!
How did you fall in love with yoga?
I was a competitive runner in college and soon got addicted to marathons. So initially I really needed something to help me stretch, unwind and not be so competitive. I remember I couldn't even touch my toes.
When did you know that you not only wanted to practice yoga, but teach it as well?
Since I have been in the fitness industry for over 15 years, I always knew yoga would be something I could incorporate into my classes and trainings. So I went ahead and completed the certifications to have that under my belt. As I got deeper into my yoga practice, I wanted to broaden my "knowledge" of the practice. I was living in Birmingham, Michigan and studied under Jonny Kest. I actually resisted teaching "yoga" for a while because I selfishly didn't want it to interfere with my practice. [NOTE: Jonny is the founder of Michigan-based Center for Yoga known for a compassionate, disciplined teaching style.]
Why should we be combining yoga moves with fast-paced cardio routines or bursts?
I have been teaching classes since when STEP aerobics was HOT. I have always been fascinated by how the body moves and realizing it doesn't take much to get the heart rate up…using ones body as resistance, incorporating an emphasis on breath and creating certain sequences (choreographing) is essentially what yoga is. So why can't we use yoga poses and moves to build up a nice cardio pace using breath to heat up the body and weights as added resistance to boost the intensity of a class? We can! Read more
Music Monday: Tunes for Your Strengthen and Lengthen Yoga Session
Written on May 7, 2012 at 10:04 am , by Marianne Magno
For someone who's gotten used to the nonstop sounds of NYC, doing a yoga class in complete silence is, well, a foreign concept. Which is why I was glad to hear that SLT Yoga officially opened their doors in NYC this May. The offspring of Pilates-based SLT (Strengthen Lengthen and Tone) combines Vinyasa yoga with popular tunes to sustain and enhance your energy throughout the hour-long routine. I worked up a sweat while giving my muscles a much-needed stretch session and my mind a feel-good recharge.
SLT co-founder Erin Jacques, who led our class, shared her playlist so you can move to the music on your own mats.
- "Changes", Tupac
- "Good Day," Greg Street Presents Nappy Roots
- "What Makes You Beautiful," One Direction
- "Payphone," Maroon 5
- "Kush," Dr. Dre, featuring Snoop Dogg and Akon
- "We Built This City," Starship
- "Lonely Boy," The Black Keys
- "Hard Knock Life (Ghetto Anthem)," Jay-Z

The screening job interview can sometimes sneak up on people. We often think it is not as important as the actual interview; however, it can be the most important, as it is the gateway to the first step in the process. The employer could be screening your computer skills, typing skills, and general knowledge as they relate to specific requirements of the job. Always be professional in voice and tone, dress and appearance, and mindful of how you treat others.
The traditional job interview uses broad-based questions such as, "why do you want to work for this company," and "tell me about your strengths and weaknesses." Interviewing success or failure are more often based on the ability of the job-seeker to communicate than on the truthfulness or content of their answers. Employers are looking for the answer to three questions:
The behavioral job interview is based on the theory that past performance is the best indicator of future behavior, and uses questions that probe specific past behaviors, such as: "tell me about a time where you confronted an unexpected problem," "tell me about an experience when you failed to achieve a goal," and "give me a specific example of a time when you managed several projects at once. Employers use the behavioral interview technique to evaluate a candidate's experiences and behaviors so they can determine the applicant's potential for success.
Key desired behaviors:
It's one thing to put these bullet points on your resume, but do you have past experiences (behaviors) that support or prove the statements?
When being interviewed by phone, make sure you are in a place where you can read notes, take notes and concentrate. Ensure that you can hear and are being clearly heard. The dining room table works if you are in the house alone. You can use all the space to have all your papers laying flat – you don't want them to hear you rustling through a bunch of papers to find what you are looking for. You don't want children, pets or other outside noises to become a distraction to the person on the other end of the phone. Don't feel you have to fill in the silences. If you've completed a response, but the interviewer hasn't asked his or her next question, don't start babbling just to fill in airtime. Instead, ask a question of your own related to your last response.
The case interview is an interview in which you are presented with a specific business dilemma. You are asked to analyze the situation, identify key business issues, and discuss how you would address the problems involved. Case interviews are designed to scrutinize the skills that are especially important in management consulting and related fields.
This method of interviewing is often attractive for companies that rely heavily on team cooperation. The panel usually consists of the hiring manager or supervisor and other members of the team or peer managers. Not only does the company want to know whether your skills balance that of the company, but also whether you can get along with the other workers. In some companies, multiple people will interview you simultaneously. In other companies, you will proceed through a series of one-on-one interviews. In some cases you may be asked the same question in different ways from different members of the group. Don't act put off by this repetition, and don't say, "I've already answered that when Bob asked me." Remember that each interviewer may have a different function in the company, and they each have a unique perspective. When asking questions, be sensitive not to place anyone in a position that invites him to compromise confidentiality or loyalty. Treat each person as an important individual.
For many, interviewing over a meal sounds like a professional and digestive catastrophe in the making. If you have difficulty chewing gum while walking, this could be a challenge. With some preparation and psychological readjustment, you can enjoy the process. Meals often have a cementing social effect – breaking bread together tends to facilitate deals, marriages, friendships and religious communion. Mealtime interviews rely on this logic and expand on it. Particularly when your job requires interpersonal acuity, companies want to know what you are like in a social setting. Are you relaxed and charming or awkward and evasive? Companies want to observe not only how you handle a fork, but also how you treat your host, any other guests and the serving staff.
Some basic social tips help ease the complexity of mixing food with business:
Situational interviews are similar to behavioral interviews, except that situational interviews focus on a hypothetical situation. For example, in a behavioral interview, the interviewer might start a question with, "Tell me about a time you had to deal with..." In a situational interview, the interviewer asks, "How would you handle..." The key to preparation and success in situational interviews is simply to review your past work experiences and review the steps you took to resolve problems and make corrections. You should also have short stories of some of these past experiences so you can incorporate them into your answers to show that you have experience handling similar situations.
The stress interviewing technique is typically used only for positions in which the job seeker will be facing stress on the job, and the interviewer wants to see how well candidates can handle the pressure. The key to surviving stress interviews is to remain calm, keep a sense of humor and avoid getting angry or defensive.
The interviewer may try to stress you in one of several ways, such as asking four or five questions in a row, acting rude or sarcastic, disagreeing with you, or simply keeping you waiting for a long period. Don't take any of these actions personally. Simply stick to your agenda and showcase your skills and accomplishments calmly. Better, try taking back control of the interview by ignoring the stress. Some experts suggest even getting up and walking around the room so that you take control by being the only person standing. If there is a board or flip chart in the room, another option is to get up and draw or diagram parts of your answers.
Most job-seekers will not encounter such interviews, but it is important to know they exist, and know how to handle yourself if you are faced with such an interview style.

text: content LE Magazine January 2001 Page 3 of 3 Child Health Vitamin A status in children with pneumonia. OBJECTIVE: To assess vitamin A status in children with pneumonia. INTERVENTIONS: Thirty-four hospitalised patients with pneumonia were randomly allocated into two groups: the study group, besides the routine treatment, received a high dose of aqueous retinyl palmitate oral solution; the control group received only the routine treatment. METHODS: The concentrations of plasma vitamin A and carotenoids were determined by colorimetric method. Retinol binding protein (RBP) was determined by the radial immunodiffusion technique. RESULTS: After 1 week of treatment there was a statistically significant (P < 0.05) increase in the levels (mean +/- s.e.) of vitamin A (study group: 14.1 +/- 1.6 to 26.5 +/- 5.8 micrograms/dl; control group: 16.1 +/- 3.3 to 24.1 +/- 2.3 micrograms/dl) and RBP (study group: 0.8 +/- 0.2 to 2.2 +/- 0.6 mg/dl; control group: 0.6 +/- 0.2 to 3.0 +/- 0.5 mg/dl) in both groups as compared to the baseline. On day 7 of treatment when the average levels of vitamin A (26.5 +/- 5.8 and 24.1 +/- 2.3 micrograms/dl) were compared, there was no statistically significant difference between the groups. CONCLUSION: This study suggests that low levels of circulating plasma vitamin A in child with pneumonia may be a consequence of acute phase of infectious disease. Eur J Clin Nutr 1995 May;49(5):379-84 Signs of impaired cognitive function in adolescents with marginal cobalamin status. BACKGROUND: Lack of cobalamin may lead to neurologic disorders, which have been reported in strict vegetarians. OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study was to investigate whether cognitive functioning is affected in adolescents (aged 10-16 y) with marginal cobalamin status as a result of being fed a macrobiotic diet up to an average age of 6 y. DESIGN: Data on dietary intake, psychological test performance, and biochemical variables of cobalamin status were collected from 48 adolescents who consumed macrobiotic (vegan type) diets up to the age of 6 y, subsequently followed by lactovegetarian or omnivorous diets, and from 24 subjects (aged 10-18 y) who were fed omnivorous diets from birth onward. Thirty-one subjects from the previously macrobiotic group were cobalamin deficient according to their plasma methylmalonic acid concentrations. Seventeen previously macrobiotic subjects and all control subjects had normal cobalamin status. RESULTS: The control subjects performed better on most psychological tests than did macrobiotic subjects with low or normal cobalamin status. A significant relation between test score and cobalamin deficiency (P: = 0.01) was observed for a test measuring fluid intelligence (correlation coefficient: -0.28; 95% CI: -0.48, -0.08). This effect became more pronounced (P: = 0.003) within the subgroup of macrobiotic subjects (correlation coefficient: -0.38; 95% CI: -0.62, - 0.14). CONCLUSION: Our data suggest that cobalamin deficiency, in the absence of hematologic signs, may lead to impaired cognitive performance in adolescents. Am J Clin Nutr 2000 Sep;72(3):762-9 The relation of overweight to cardiovascular risk factors among children and adolescents: the Bogalusa Heart Study. BACKGROUND: Although overweight and obesity in childhood are related to dyslipidemia, hyperinsulinemia, and hypertension, most studies have examined levels of these risk factors individually or have used internal cutpoints (eg, quintiles) to classify overweight and risk factors. OBJECTIVE: We used cutpoints derived from several national studies to examine the relation of overweight (Quetelet index, >95th percentile) to adverse risk factor levels and risk factor clustering. DESIGN: The sample consisted of 9167 5- to 17-year-olds examined in seven cross-sectional studies conducted by the Bogalusa Heart Study between 1973 and 1994. RESULTS: About 11% of examined schoolchildren were considered overweight. Although adverse lipid, insulin, and blood pressure levels did not vary substantially with the Quetelet index at levels <85th percentile, risk factor prevalences increased greatly at higher levels of the Quetelet index. Overweight schoolchildren were 2.4 times as likely as children with a Quetelet index <85th percentile to have an elevated level of total cholesterol. Odds ratios for other associations were 2.4 (diastolic blood pressure), 3.0 (low-density lipoprotein cholesterol), 3.4 (high-density lipoprotein cholesterol), 4.5 (systolic blood pressure), 7.1 (triglycerides), and 12.6 (fasting insulin). Several of these associations differed between whites and blacks, and by age. Of the 813 overweight schoolchildren, 475 (58%) were found to have at least one risk factor. Furthermore, the use of overweight as a screening tool could identify 50% of schoolchildren who had two or more risk factors. CONCLUSIONS: Because overweight is associated with various risk factors even among young children, it is possible that the successful prevention and treatment of obesity in childhood could reduce the adult incidence of cardiovascular disease. Pediatrics 1999 Jun;103(6 Pt 1):1175-82 Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in children: rationale for its integrative management. Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is the most common behavioral disorder in children. ADHD is characterized by attention deficit, impulsivity, and sometimes overactivity ("hyperactivity"). The diagnosis is empirical, with no objective confirmation available to date from laboratory measures. ADHD begins in childhood and often persists into adulthood. The exact etiology is unknown; genetics plays a role, but major etiologic contributors also include adverse responses to food additives, intolerances to foods, sensitivities to environmental chemicals, molds, and fungi, and exposures to neurodevelopmental toxins such as heavy metals and organohalide pollutants. Thyroid hypofunction may be a common denominator linking toxic insults with ADHD symptomatologies. Abnormalities in the frontostriatal brain circuitry and possible hypofunctioning of dopaminergic pathways are apparent in ADHD, and are consistent with the benefits obtained in some instances by the use of methylphenidate (Ritalin) and other potent psychostimulants. Mounting controversy over the widespread use of methylphenidate and possible life-threatening effects from its long-term use make it imperative that alternative modalities be implemented for ADHD management. Nutrient deficiencies are common in ADHD; supplementation with minerals, the B vitamins (added in singly), omega-3 and omega-6 essential fatty acids, flavonoids, and the essential phospholipid phosphatidylserine (PS) can ameliorate ADHD symptoms. When individually managed with supplementation, dietary modification, detoxification, correction of intestinal dysbiosis, and other features of a wholistic/integrative program of management, the ADHD subject can lead a normal and productive life.

And about 54"-60" if there are working counters and cabinets or appliances behind the seated diner and you'd like to be able to use them.
Please note that the standard for "clearance behind" is from the COUNTER edge. So it starts at the outside edge of the counter overhang, not at the edge of the cabinets or knee wall.

Are you talking about what is the minimum overhang needed for seating at a counter?
.....18" for table height (30" high surface)
.....15" for counter height (36" high surface)
.....12" for bar height (42" high surface)
Are you talking about amount of space needed for each seat in length of peninsula?
Are you talking about amount of clearance needed to allow someone to walk behind the stools (i.e., b/w counter edge & wall or other other obstruction behind the seating area)?

RE: Wolf steam oven yah or nay? (Follow-Up #50)
posted by: aperson1961 on 02.05.2013 at 02:46 pm in Appliances Forum
I went to a few high end appliance shops in Scottsdale to look at various steam ovens after doing some research online. I had learned about the Sharp Steam-Microwave-Convection oven while doing my research. What I found out is that 2 employees at one shop and one employee at another shop had the Sharp; they all loved it. After hearing that, I just couldn't justify spending that much money when I could buy the Sharp for $549 on Amazon (it is black, but it has a stainless steal handle and you can buy a built in kit). That's what I ended up with and I'm happy with it.

RE: Range Hood Hell - Please help! (Follow-Up #2)
posted by: kaseki on 08.26.2012 at 10:36 am in Appliances Forum
Unfortunately, for air flow rates lower than 5 digits the hood doesn't actually suck up the cooking effluent. The effluent rises on its own at a fairly rapid rate (3 ft/s) and expands. The part of it that impinges on the hood aperture will be captured and with enough flow rate, contained. This is why size is important in range hoods -- to overlap the rising and expanding cooking plume. Note that this overlap is relative to the size of the pan or griddle, and not in particular the overall range size. Assume a nominal 22.5-degree half angle for plume expansion (angle varies somewhat with a lot of parameters). And it is the internal aperture of the hood that matters for capture, not the external size.
When cabinets or side shields are in use, the hood need not be longer than the range, but without them the 42-inch recommendation should be heeded.
27 deep is probably essential for normal hood heights.
Turbulence from cross drafts and people moving about can cause effluent to miss the aperture even when all design rules are met.
For least noise, as Clinresga and other have documented, a remote blower with in-line sound suppressor (muffler) is the best approach. This approach will attenuate the blade tip noise and much of the upstream duct turbulence noise. Air flow turbulence noise around the baffles, however, is not avoidable. (After all, the baffles work by reversing air direction so the larger part of the grease particle size spectrum impinges on the baffles.
I have a Wolf/Broan 1500 cfm roof blower with Fantech in-line sound suppressor. At full power the sound is certainly present and marginally obtrusive, but normal conversation across the peninsula and along the peninsula is not degraded.

I used the kit linked below. We installed the inlet underneath the range. With this configuration the unconditioned air is nearly a non-issue.
@Worthy -- where did you install the blower. We have no audible motor sound in the kitchen from our attic mounted 1300 cfm blower (only the sound of air rushing over the baffles).

we have three furnaces and three air conditioners and a 1200 cfm vent-a-hood in the kitchen. our kitchen designer is smartly suggesting we look into obtaining make-up air for when we turn the hood on high. the hvac guy says we need to spend $10,000 for a 4th unit just for this make-up air. we cannot afford another unit at this price, but are unsure what other options we have for this. opening the window is a possibility, but i don't want to forget to do that and have an issue. thanks

LED recessed cans guide for kitchen ...
posted by: davidtay on 01.30.2012 at 01:27 am in Lighting Forum
A collection of tips/ answers
Since kitchens have higher lighting requirements, I like to use 35 lumen per sq ft as a rule to compute the number of lights. If there are additional sources of light that will be used, the output (lumens not watts) from those sources can be deducted from the total.
Placement/ layout
2. Assuming the need for a fairly uniformly lit space @ 35 lumens per sq ft, the cans may have to be spaced closer together - between 3 - 4 ft apart (if all general lighting is provided by recessed lights). A fairly regular pattern is preferable to a random layout.
3. The actual layout of cans will be impacted by the location of ceiling joists, HVAC ducting, electrical wiring, plumbing, ceiling height, fire suppression sprinklers and other obstructions above the ceiling.
Dimmers such as the Lutron Diva CL dimmers work well. The max output is 95%.
Some Choices (in order of preference) and notes
Cree LR6 series - including the LE6.
The Cree CR6 and LR6 lamps will not fit into 5" housings.
The standard LR6 behaves more like a surface mount than a recessed light as the LED emitters are close to the surface and the recess is shallow. Some may not like the amount of light spillage (standard LR6).
There is a higher output version of the LR6 that has a much deeper recess.
To prevent the Cree lamps from falling out, the 3 prongs have to be fully extended and a slight clockwise twist made when push installing. The slight clockwise twist will ensure that the prongs are fully extended.
The Cree lamps are currently the best available today (2012).
Sylvania RT-6, RT-4. The lights could be easier to install than Cree lamps as they utilize the torsion spring mechanism. However, the lights do not look as pleasant as the Cree lamps.
The Cree and Sylvania lamps do outperform 26W CFLs (and incandescents) in a standard recessed can in terms of light spread and output as the standard bulb in a can solution traps a significant amount of light. The Cree and Sylvania recessed lamp solutions referenced above have all the LED elements facing outwards so that the effective light output is higher.
The CRI (Color Rendition Index) of Cree and Sylvania recessed lamps > 80.
There is no warm up time required for Cree recessed lamps, unlike CFL light bulbs.
Most recessed lighting is used with flat ceilings. Sloped ceilings would require special solutions such as the LE6 or some other form of lighting (i.e. -non recessed lighting).
Some common objections to recessed can lights stem from

RE: Recessed lighting for kitchen, halogen or LED? (Follow-Up #1)
posted by: davidtay on 12.03.2011 at 10:32 pm in Lighting Forum
Yes, my kitchen has all LED recessed lamps (LR6). I computed the number of lamps based on 35 lumens per sq ft with the output of each lamp discounted from 650 to 600 lumens.
Home Depot now has the 4" EcoSmart branded Cree recessed lights which are slightly more costly than the 6" EcoSmart branded Cree CR6.
If you use a CREE solution for recessed lights, the results would be great.

RE: Lighting questions - what did you dim and is it worth it? (Follow-Up #4)
posted by: felixnot on 10.23.2012 at 07:30 pm in Kitchens Forum
Dimmers are a hedge against fear of bad lighting decisions. Rarely used, expensive to install and of all rooms, the kitchen is the worst place to have dimmers. Go with a variety of fixtures: 4" diameter down lights, led under cabinets, a light over your table or island, a general room light. Put them all on separate switches. Light the room evenly. All under cab lights on one switch, all down lights on one switch, etc.
Yes it seems like a lot. Nothing is worse than inadequate lighting in a kitchen.

Hi Sue,
Below are some cleaning instructions from the training manual. I would suggest trying the first option using a magic eraser. The descaling cycle you should run about twice a year to get rid of hard water buildup. There are also some cleaning instructions in your use and care guide on page 36. Hope this helps.
Empty entire bottle of descaler into the water tank of the steam oven, undiluted. Allow the descaling mode to run.

SPRINGFIELD, Ill. (UPI) — The governor of Illinois said the No. 1 license plate, which has been out of circulation since 2002, may once again hit the state's roads.
Gov. Pat Quinn said the much-coveted plate, which historically belonged to a succession of Roman Catholic cardinals before it adorned the car of former Gov. Richard Ogilvie's widow, who gave up the plate in 2002, said he wants to have the plate auctioned to benefit military veterans, the Chicago Sun-Times reported Thursday.
"The governor thinks this particular license plate could possibly be a new source of revenue for the veterans' assistance programs," Quinn spokeswoman Brooke Anderson said. "It could help homeless veterans. It could help treat veterans dealing with post-traumatic stress syndrome. It could help veterans without health insurance. We could look at creating a program that helps veterans get jobs."
It is unclear whether Illinois Secretary of State Jessie White would sign off on such a scheme.
"I think we'd want to look at it more before we could offer some insights into it," White spokesman Dave Druker said.

It might be instructive to ask ourselves how we would be reacting if Iraqi commandos landed at George W. Bush's compound, assassinated him, and dumped his body in the Atlantic (after proper burial rites, of course). Uncontroversially, he is not a "suspect" but the "decider" who gave the orders to invade Iraq -- that is, to commit the "supreme international crime differing only from other war crimes in that it contains within itself the accumulated evil of the whole" (quoting the Nuremberg Tribunal) for which Nazi criminals were hanged: in Iraq, the hundreds of thousands of deaths, millions of refugees, destruction of much of the country and the national heritage, and the murderous sectarian conflict that has now spread to the rest of the region. Equally uncontroversially, these crimes vastly exceed anything attributed to bin Laden.There is Much More to Say by Noam Chomsky.
What is the logical consequence of noting the fact that the terrorist groups that make a difference on planet Earth—such as Hamas and Hezbollah, the PLO, Colombia's FARC—are extensions of, respectively, Iran, Saudi Arabia and Egypt, and Venezuela? It is the negation of the U.S. government's favorite axiom. It means that when George W. Bush spoke, and when Barack Obama speaks, of America being "at war" against "extremism" or "extremists" they are either being stupid or acting stupid to avoid dealing with the nasty fact that many governments wage indirect warfare.International relations professor Angelo M. Codevilla argues that Osama bin Laden is not quite influential, not quite relevant, and probably dead. (multipage version)
While the proverbial road to hell is paved with good intentions, the internal government memos collected in this publication demonstrate that the path to the purgatory that is Guantanamo Bay, or Abu Ghraib, has been paved with decidedly bad intentions. The policies that resulted in rampant abuse of detainees first in Afghanistan, then at Guantanamo Bay, and later in Iraq, were product of three pernicious purposes designed to facilitate the unilateral and unfettered detention, interrogation, abuse, judgment, and punishment of prisoners: (1) the desire to place the detainees beyond the reach of any court or law; (2) the desire to abrogate the Geneva Convention with respect to the treatment of persons seized in the context of armed hostilities; and (3) the desire to absolve those implementing the policies of any liability for war crimes under U.S. and international law.Regarding the Torture Papers, which detail Torture's Paper Trail, and, then there's Hungry for Air: Learning The Language Of Torture, and, of course, there's ( more inside)

(RNN) - Flight 2085 from Charlotte to Los Angeles was full of Florida State fans, and Nick Calabro was probably the only one wearing business casual instead of garnet and gold.
His manner of speaking is easygoing, yet direct and impactful enough to cut through the roar of jet engines outside the window.
That's a good quality for a corporate accountant who often has to coach clients through tax crises.
"My job is basically to keep people out of jail," Calabro joked. "I was coming out here anyway on business; so I said, 'Hey, I'll squeeze in a trip to the game. Why not?'"
Calabro is one of the many people who cut some time out of their regular lives to make a trip to Southern California.
Auburn and Florida State definitely have their differences in playing styles and their paths to get to this game, but they have at least one thing in common - passionate fans.
And they'll come from just about anywhere to see their team take home the crystal ball.
Massachusetts - There's hardly a trace of a Boston accent when Calabro talks. He has been in Florida since 1998, married a Florida State grad and has been a fan ever since. He's fascinated by the fervor surrounding college football in the South, and pauses for a split second when reminded that he's now part of it.
"It's definitely different down here, but it's such a great town," Calabro said. "College football is so much more different than the NFL because of the way people care about the team."
Alabama - If you've ever eaten a peach, there's a fairly good chance Colby Jones' family grew it. They own Durbin Farms in Chilton County, a small place with a big reputation for growing the fruit. But peaches are out of season, so they had plenty of time to come west and cheer on the Tigers.
Connecticut - Auburn fans in Connecticut? Yep, it's true, and they're not bandwagoners. Ward and Lisa Swift have roots in Alabama. Their family of five was walking the pier on Harbor Island as seagulls swooped in and out, a long way from their home in New Canaan - both in distance and temperature.
Florida - Lots of people would tell you they are the biggest Florida State fans you will ever meet, but Orlando financial adviser Paul Isgar is probably telling you the truth when he says it. The FSU alumnus is on a first-name basis with media from his hometown, who followed him around for a story.
"They've taken my picture many times," Isgar said. "This will be my seventh game this year."
Canada - It was a long way to California for John Groothuizen. He is a native of Ontario, moved to Alabama as a child and now resides in Flagstaff, AZ. All that plus a fight to earn his citizenship that ended less than a year ago, and he still has not lost his passion as an Auburn fan.
Georgia - Paul and Shelley Marshall live in Atlanta, and you could see their FSU garnet and gold gear from a mile away.
Tennessee - Randy and Kelly Day accompanied the Marshalls to California. When asked about a prediction for the game, Randy Day matter-of-factly said the Seminoles would win by double digits.
"They'll probably win by 12," Day said. "If Auburn can run on us, it's going to be tough to beat them."
California - Palm trees and sunny weather are nothing new for Tim and Christina Richardson, who live in Valencia Park and cheer for Auburn. As they walked along Park Avenue on affluent Balboa Island, they still roamed at a modest pace and took in the sights like any other tourists.
Louisiana - Nancy Sanders is the embodiment of a Southern lady. She is stylish, walks like a cloud is moving beneath her feet and has a way of firmly keeping you in check without making you feel the least bit offended.
She's a Florida State fan from "N'awlins," but she earned her master's degree at Auburn and her Ph.D. at Alabama. She admitted to being a tad miffed - not her words, but remember, she is a lady - when Auburn beat Alabama in the Iron Bowl. This weekend, however, there is no conflict of interest.
"Oh no, it's all Florida State," Sanders said.
Arkansas - Angie Stevens suddenly disappeared while the rest of her family was watching the last quarter of the Big Ten Championship Game. They were unaware that she was stretching every resource she had to get a family of four Auburn fans from Searcy to Los Angeles.
"She was scheming a way to get us to the game," said Jackie Stevens, her husband. "I told her she can't ever leave me. I'd never be able to go anywhere."

Anna & Luby's Home Meets Showroom
House Tour
Name: Anna Weiss, Luby Kelley, son Samson, daughter Harper and cat Bigs
Location: St. Louis, Missouri
Size: 1300 square feet
Years lived in: 2.5 — owned
We regularly bump into Anna and Luby as regulars on the estate sale circuit. Like us, they gravitate towards all things mid-century. Unlike us (who hoard like demented squirrels), Anna and Luby actually sell their finds and run a successful on-line business. It makes sense that their home could double as a showroom, with no shortage of beautiful and interesting things to look at. Their 1950s house, with vaulted ceilings and warm wood paneled walls, provides the perfect backdrop.
Anna focuses on higher-end furniture and collectibles, while Luby deals in pop culture and toys. Strange bedfellows in theory, the two combined strike a nice accord. What could be spare and minimalist is punctuated by bright plastics, and nostalgic bits of childhood. And what could be a sea of endless bric-a-brac is tempered by the sophistication of clean lines. It's as if Graceland met Falling Water and the two fell in love.
Anna and Luby live hard in their home and, with two kids, require ease, fun, and functionality. They've created a home that's both true to itself, and to its occupants.
Apartment Therapy Survey:
Our Style: Emphasis on Mid-Century Modern with utilitarian design.
Inspiration: The house really inspires us. Open floor plan, lots of natural light, brick and wood elements. Going to estate sales every week and getting to see layouts and design of untouched vintage decor is really a basis for our inspiration. Many homes we see have not been altered in the past 40 or 50 years. We add our own spin when we bring it home.
Favorite Element: The openness from the front porch walkway all the way through to the back patio. This openness includes the vaulted ceilings which makes the house feel larger than it really is.
Biggest Challenge: Editing is the biggest challenge. We both work from home with two kids under the age of 3. We try to keep everything minimal, but its hard with our jobs. We love so much and our taste changes all the time. Trying to decide what to keep and can be practically used without destroying the item or destroying its value is a challenge. I just bought a high end cane back chair that I love. Not three days later, canning was already coming undone by guests sitting in it. Everything in the house gets heavily used, so it must be practical.
What Friends Say: Since we keep things moving in and out, people normally will ask if something is new. Quote from actual friend: "Part design museum part toy store packed with the best kind of nostalgia. Always changing. Cool but still comfortable."
Biggest Embarrassment: Lack of window treatments and rugs. They tend to be the more expensive accessory, so we haven't committed to all the windows yet. We are waiting for the kids to be a little older before getting some living room rugs. Hardwood is just easier to clean.
Proudest DIY: Kitchen cabinets. When we moved in we knew we wanted to keep the original Geneva cabinets, but because they were too far gone from smoke damage they needed to be repainted or replaced. The top cabinets were mustard yellow and the bottom were brown. We took all the doors and drawers off, as well as the oven face and door and took them to Maaco. We were able to have them all painted for about $300. We painted the original cabinets in place ourselves. It really made the original orange boomerang Formica countertop pop.
Biggest Indulgence: We don't indulge too often because we purchase so much from estate sales and auctions. The George Kovacs ceiling fan in living room was probably the biggest indulgence for us. It took forever for us to decide. The airflow in the house requires a ceiling fan in the main living area. And while it doesn't seem like a fan can be a focal point, it is obvious once you put the wrong one in. It took almost a year and more than we wanted to spend, but finally found the right one and it was totally worth it.
Best Advice: When shopping vintage, if you see something you like you should snatch it up. More likely than not, it will be gone within a day or two and you can always resell it if you get it home and it doesn't work for you. When shopping retail, if you're not sure, put it down. You can always come back to it. You should hold out until you get exactly what you want. Work with what you have. Not what you want. Let your space dictate what looks best. Just because it looks great in your friends loft doesn't mean it will work in your ranch.
Dream Sources: The random phone-call from a stranger asking us to come purchase their grandparents Danish Modern estate.

fantastic! love their collections :)
Such a cheerful home :)
so adorable & beautiful! great combo!
I want to be a child again and live in this house.
Your beautiful oven and Roy and Dale made me covet.
Great looking house. I love all the wood panelled walls and the hardwood floors with the dashes of colour from the different decorations.
And the cat rocks. I love her expression! She seems a bit skeptical of the whole photo experience.
Beautiful modern house!
House is fun and fantastic! Oven is a gem, totally worth refinishing. Sweet Naughas, too!
hmmmn... seeing the bright giraffe coat-rack makes me really, really crabby that I didn't scoop up the (matching) elephant toy box I saw at a thrift store a couple of weeks ago. It was clearly a part of a set... maybe Fisher Price? or...?
Beautiful home. Thank you AT - please show us more homes without deer heads and keep calm and carry on signs! I love love love your toddler furniture and the way it coordinates with your design style.
Love it! Great house, great people! XO
Love that kids and style can go together!!
I absolutely love your kitchen! I also love that you didn't gut this home but chose to work with it's natural elements - kudos b/c it is gorgeous.
Re: best advice - LOL, that is actually the worst advice you could give me...I have this super annoying tendency to want to purchase vintage stuff just b/c "Iloveitanditwillgosomewhere..." Drives my partner insane!
After the story about the famous ceiling fan, was disappointed to see only a tiny bit of the end of one blade. :(
I really like the little modern chairs stashed beneath that black coffee table under the little shelving unit. I like the black coffee table too, I guess. And the pops of color throughout.
Thanks for all the positive comments about our space. The pictures shown look great. Those chairs are COSCO booster seats and are available on ebay usually. Yes, I too am disappointed the fan we mentioned somehow didn't make the cut. There's so much that we are so happy and proud of that is not pictured either. But that's how it goes. I know when we look at the other tours we're generally anxious to see more too.
So light, bright, airy, and clean!
That oven is awesome!
Nice to see such an authentic and well edited space.
I too like that this couple bought this home without the intent to just gut it, but to use the elements faithfully.
Great job!
I LOVE the wall unit in the little boy's room. I assume it is a vintage find. If not, WHERE? :D
Wow! I haven't liked Danish Modern for a long time, especially when I see it in houses that are older than the 1950's. Here though, it is done perfectly. It suits and enhances the architecture of that house because it belongs in that time period. I love the bright, colorful furniture and paintings with the wood walls and brick fireplace, the orange kitchen counters with the green chairs, and the old fashioned toy displays, especially the Snoopy statue. Whoever designed this interior is incredibly talented.
Ditto foogiefive.
Love this space. Really inspiring. And it's reaffirmed my desire for wood paneling (not that it needed any more affirmation...)
very well done!
I love how you saved the old cabinets and orange boomerang Formica countertop. It looks great - especially with the vintage oven.
I now want orange counter tops. very cool house.
This is very well done!
I like the color combination of the whole house...
the kitchen is gorgeous!
Perfect! Your house is perfectly executed. Love it!
I absolutely love that headboard in the last two frames! So cool!
I love the small touches throughout the house. they really make it feel like a home.
And that cat is absolutely adorable!
That is a really nice looking cat!
As for the house, not my taste but exquisitely executed. It has a strong design vision yet looks very livable.
AMAZING! We have a 56' brick ranch in the midwest similar to this, but its not nearly as authentic. Its hard to find homes from the 50's that haven't had unfortunate updates. The previous owners put crown moulding and plate rails (seriously? in a 50's modern ranch? ok.) in our house. Real sad.
I LOVE your house! So colorful and well put together. I even love your cat.
Seeing a house like that makes me want to have children!
I absolutely adore this house! Can you tell me about the print above the boy's bed (the pic with the Componibili)? Thanks!
Love the vintage giraffe coat rack! Been looking for something like this for my little girl for months!!
This house is joyous. All of the warm wood on the floor and the walls helps anchor the pop culture stuff. Love the diagonally-laid wood in the kitchen. The bedroom is unique and serene, quite a surprise after the kid's room!
I like the cat and the oven - the rest; not so much - doesn't look comfortable and lived in.
Love every room - what a great place to grow up!
LOVE your home! I especially appreciate seeing a home that doesn't look like every other space featured here recently. Nice to see some originality! I'd live here in a heartbeat! :)
I have to ditto foogiefive's comments. When I saw the first "Keep Calm and Carry On" sign I loved it. The second one was amusing. Now they're absolutely everywhere (here, AND at Good Will, Salvation Army, etc!!). It's nice to see a home featured here that isn't trying to be like everyone else's (if homes could have ambitions, that is). Great job!
You did everything right, such a pleasure to look at your house.
Your living room is eerily similar to ours architecturally... only you decorated it much better! I love your kitchen! I thought for sure that was a new Formica countertop, because it looks to be in such great shape! We just bought two rolls of the aqua boomerang for our remodel, and now, after seeing your kitchen, I'm really wanting to find some vintage steel cabinet to go with it.
Great house, and your toddler is adorable!
Lovely! And I love the use of color in a really friendly and inviting way. Love the way you aren't too neat with the bookshelves and show individual personalities! I'd love to be an adult, not just a kid in your place!
Are there so many yard sales and Estate sales that we should all move to St. Louis?
Where's the blue blanket spread from?
The only thing I DON'T like is the giraffe! Everything else is perfect. I have so many compliments that I'll leave it at "perfect." I would say all of those pint-sized designer chairs are a waste -kids grow, but being in the business, they'll probably be easy to sell. It's nice to have seating that's the right size for your tikes. I was a little surprised they edited out your fan too! Where oh where are those red & yellow cylindrical tables in the kids' bedroom from??
mold-a-ramas....YES YES YES!
FYI, RE: Proudest DIY -
That is NOT a DIY. Removing your drawers and doors and then paying someone else to paint them is not really DIY. Sorry. I mean, they look great - but, just sayin...
no comments, just wonderful
somebody PLEASE tell me where that funky little blue wall unit/organizer behind the kids' table is from?!!!!!
I love EVERYTHING about this house...I love orange, I painted my gross cement house orange, and I am in LOVE with your countertops!!! I wish I could come over for tea or coffee or just to drool all over the kitchen. :-)
By the way, what is that red (metal?) pan thingie with the funny shaped handles that is hanging by the sink on the side of the cabinet? I have a yellow one just like it and cannot figure out its history (if any). I fill mine with water and float a bunch of candles in it...not sure if its food-safe though.
heela - The pan looks like a Dansk Kobenstyle Jens Quistgaard Pan for making Paella. Search Google for "Quistgaard Paella pan".
This is a beautiful home with so many cool things in it, especially that Snoopy.
I seriously covet that Snoopy!

There are several companies that will perform a nationwide search to determine if the name has been used as part of a trademark or service mark or as an internet domain name. You may also search the records in each state to determine if there is a corporation or limited liability company using the name.
