kohler ceiling mount tub filler
Has anyone installed one of these faucets? The falling water effect is so beautiful, there has got to be a trade-off. Do they cause excessive noise or splashing? Are they problematic to install or maintain? I welcome any info.,suggestions or pics. of your ceiling mount. Thanks,NJHG
if you can build it so that it falls onto a sloped surface, it just might work fine.
kohler seems to me to be a company interested in selling to nouveau riche millionaires, and to social climbers. Image is so important to them. That's what makes a pride-based sale. Buy your social status, buy Kohler.
Candice Olson used this in an episode 3 years ago and it sure looked good. If I can find a link to that episode, I will post back.
I've done a few and am currently doing one for a personal residence. I don't think its loud, certainly no more than any other type of filler. It's quieter than the old fashion 3 handle setup that was popular in the 50's & 60's.
Bit of a pain to install since I feel their ceiling mount instructions are incorrect and or confusing. Your plumber will not like having to go through the ceiling framing for the piping.
David I disagree with your characterization of Kohler, they make everything from lowly locker room drains and urinals to disco showers. There is something for everyone including the vast middle market where they make their money. The monied set plumbing supply has got to be Lefroy Brooks or Perrin and Rowe. They have nothing that is affordable by most folk's standards and don't pitch to "stores" where you can walk in and buy something.
The first few second of fill will splash a bit but it's a tub and you're putting water in it, why do people always ask this question??? Once there is a pool of water there is no splashing.
The guts of the system are set up so that the water comes out in a way call laminar flow The layers of water are closely parallel and it is the opposite of turbulent flow. It is supposed to flow from the spout as a clear column. Compare this to a standard bath filler, the water is not coming out in a round tube like form, its splashy
Some vanity faucets, particularly good ones for vessel sinks have a near laminar flow as well.
I also agree with aants about the Kohler, although they have products to compete with the luxury market, they are hardly a "luxury brand" They make plumbing supplies across the board.
i also agree with antss assessment of kohler. i do think they are trying to climb the social ladder however, simply by overcharging. seriously have you seen some of their pricing? you don't ALWAYS get what you pay for but for the most part a product should be built like a luxury item if it wants to BE a luxury item, no? i don't think kohler could possibly be invited to the same parties as perrin & rowe (and certainly not lefroy brooks) unless they crashed.
also funny how the most hoity toity of brands has very little advertising. they depend mostly on word of mouth by hoities to other toities.
Thanks for the responses - they were not anywhere as negative as I had anticipated. Generally with the more unusual products, one expects to hear they are more trouble then they are worth. Then again, everyone has a different idea of the value of aesthetics. There are those of us (many of whom are in these forums) who will willingly wipe up a bathroom floor for the thrill of watching a column of water fill the tub. What I want to avoid, however, are genuine annoyances such as hours of required labor or major flooding (I hate it when that happens!>
Re: status level of Kohler - it has products at all price points, most are beautifully designed and receive high ratings for performance.,Aaltho I haven't yet bought any of their products, I am always impressed with the company's innovation, advanced technology such as the laminar faucets, and use of unusual materials. When you consider these attributes across their huge range of products, it is unfair to claim unjustified prices I don't think there is anyone who pays manufacturer's sugg. price.anyway For style snobs such as myself, tho, there us none of the exclusivity that adds to the cachet of the boutique lines. And then there is the fact that Kohler lacks the European appeal - German engineering, Italian style.
I'm joking, of course, but I would be pretty embarrassed to admit all of the reasons behind some of my choices. . And last but certainly not least, is there anyone who does not smile at the very clever trompe l'oeiul magazine ads?
Back to the ceiling filler; unless I hear anything really different, it will remain on my shopping list. With me, tho, that is no guarantee that it will be the final selection.
Thanks for the advice, njhg
i don't have one, but would recommend doing a forum search. i remember someone posting about the water losing heat since it is falling from so far & exposed to air all the way down... plus i think they said it's hard to top-off your hot water if you are in the tub & it cools off a bit too much.
if the water falls into a whirlpool or airtub, most units will have a heater ...at least the bain ultra i'm looking at does. please buy this and let me come over to give it a whirl!
lee676, now you have intrigued me with your statement " I've used laminar-flow shower heads that yield a similar effect with easier/cheaper installation. " Please provide details! Like brand name of shower head, how much easier to install them (and how much cheaper too) and as for the details in your pictures ... is it the shower head or tub filler that you are using? Thanks in advance!
I've never understood the attraction other than as a conversation piece. And that would wear off pretty fast. With the extra plumbing costs/hassle, I could maybe buy one of those killer Perrin & Rowe tub fillers instead.
I lust for this one if anybody is wondering what to get me for my birthday....
Toad - there was a thread about this but the person was simply speculating. I believe the person was also overthinking a non exsistant problem.
Sure, a water stream cools off more falling from 8' than it does from 2' in a normal tub. Without precise measurements and complex calculations there's no good way to put a definitive # on the actual loss. One would also have to account for the extra cooling that a regular tub filler introduces simply by "adding" air to the water stream at the start to get a fair comparison. The Kohler water stream will also get cooler on the outer portion falling from 8' but it will also act as an insulator for the innermost water of the column. All of this pretty much makes the arguement moot because the water is still going to be hot enough when it reaches the tub in both cases.
You are simply going to set or adjust the water temp. to suit your prefs. for bathing based on what you feel coming out of the orifice whether it's a shower head, bodyspray, reg. tub filler. or a laminar fill spout. The ceiling mount makes it no harder to fill a tub to warm it up during a bath than a regular one, empty some water out , turn on more hot water, turn off.
I went to the plumbing store my contractor uses and the plumber said that he has installed these for a few free-standing tubs since they are WAY cheaper than the deck-mounted faucets. Many of the deck-mounted faucets are close to $1,200 retail. This one comes in at around $700-$800, which is fairly close to some of the other multi-headed/spraying handheld faucets that are by Hansgrohe and others.
It certainly has a "cool" factor to it....
I recall it being one of the Grohe Relexa series, but it was a few years ago and it seems they've discontinued that particular model (it was the same size as the still-current Top 4 showerhead, but with a different nozzle hole pattern, with a large laminar flow opening in the center surrounded by more conventional small holes, with a selector switch). They still sell some handheld/bar-mounted showerheads that have the same basic feature, such as this one (28871):
There are probably other manufacturers that still have conventional showerheads with a laminar flow option - go to their websites and do a search on "laminar".
We have this by Kohler. Sure it's laminar flow, but not initially when you turn it on and if there are any changes in water pressure forget it. I have tried several times, replaced the cartridge, and I still have water all over the walls and floors. I will never listen to my contractors again! I have to wipe everywhere!
Your problem isn't with the laminar flow fixture ! Your problem is with your choice of valve and or with your plumbing system's design.
Those fillers work just fine with a valve capable of a large flow rate and a supply line capable of supporting that flow. A 1/2 " line and a 4 gallon a minute valve isn't going to cut it. Further if your having pressure drops that affect the valve to a noticeable degree, you have a system design flaw, not a tub filler issue.

A friend of mine has asked me to brew a Dos Equis clone and I'm still really new at reading recipes and brewing in general. I'm using this recipe and am confused on the brewing steps. Can someone tell me the steps to enter each ingredient? I see the timing for the hops but I'm unsure when to put in the rice solids, DME, LME, etc. Thanks for any help offered.
Do you have the ability to create a lager? If so, what equipment do you have at your disposal to make said beer?
Since the ingredients aren't part of that recipe (questionable recipe, if you ask me, but you didn't), I would steep the grains for 20 minutes in 150-160 degree water, remove them, and bring that liquid up to a boil. Add the extracts and rice solids. Bring that to a boil, and start with the hops. Keep in mind that Dos Equis is a lager, and using an ale yeast at ale temperatures won't clone Dos Equis.
No, I don't have the ability to lager. From the instructions in the recipe I would ferment as an ale. I only have the normal equipment to brew, kettle, immersion chiller, fermenting vessel, etc.

Steve Harvey Advises Ladies To Think Like Men
Much in the same vain as our beloved He's Just Not That Into You, comedian Steve Harvey—like comedian Greg Behrendt—sets out to enlighten ladies with more straight talk about men. He's penned his first relationship book, Act Like A Lady, Think Like A Man, and not surprisingly this is another ode to the sex-crazed simplicity of guys and how women need to stop tolerating their B.S.
With chapters that read like: "We Need to Talk" And Other Words That Make Men Run For Cover" and "First Things First: He Wants To Sleep With You" it doesn't take a clairvoyant to accurately predict how Harvey paints the personality and intentions of anything with a penis. (Hide your daughters!) We can feel the subsequent wide-eyed, head-shaking of all the ladies reading and thinking: Men are pigs!
While one may venture this market must have exhausted itself by now, all it took was a quick little looksy at the audience on Oprah earlier today (where Harvey was a guest) to realize, yes—women still need this book. For every chick who memorized He's Just Not That Into You, there's another who's still analyzing why that guy from six months ago never returned her call.
While Harvey certainly brings his own distinct flavor into the mix—his pet name for sex is "the cookie" which is sort of creepy—it's the same old blah blah we tell ourselves when we stare at the phone willing it to ring. Basically, if a guy acts like he's into you, he probably is, but if he treats you like dirt, than chances are he doesn't like you that much. It's this brilliant black and white that women find so gosh darn hard to wrap our minds around, and why we need a fresh self-help book by a comedian to help Usher in a new lonely season.
Here are a few excerpts:
All Men Have A Plan: "Men don't come up to you to just talk. We come up to you with a plan," he says. "We're looking across the room at you, and we don't care about your hopes and dreams. We don't care about what your future holds. We saw something we wanted."
All Men Are Fisherman: "You've got sports fishermen, and you've got guys out there fishing to eat. You've got guys that are fishing to keep the fish, and you've got guys that are fishing to catch them, unhook them and throw them back," Harvey says. "You've got to determine along the way which one of the fish you're going to be...You've got to quit lowering your standards," he says. "Set your requirements up front so when a guy hooks you, he has to know this is business."

Clopidogrel used in combination with aspirin compared with aspirin alone in the treatment of non-ST-segment-elevation acute coronary syndromes: a systematic review and economic evaluation
Aspirin is the most commonly prescribed antiplatelet agent, which is known to reduce the risk of fatal and non-fatal myocardial infarction in patients with unstable angina. Clopidogrel, a different antiplatelet agent, inhibits platelet aggregation induced by adenosine diphosphate, thereby reducing ischaemic events. Combining clopidogrel with aspirin may therefore have an additive effect as each acts via a different inhibitory pathway. This systematic review assessed the clinical effectiveness and the cost-effectiveness of clopidogrel used in combination with standard therapy including aspirin, compared with standard therapy alone for the treatment of non-ST-segment elevation acute coronary syndromes (ACS).Findings
The results of the CURE trial indicate that clopidogrel in combination with aspirin was significantly more effective than placebo combined with aspirin in a wide range of patients with ACS. This benefit was largely related to a reduction in Q-wave myocardial infarction. There was no statistically significant benefit in relation to mortality.
The results from the base-case model suggest that treatment with clopidogrel as an adjunct to standard therapy (including aspirin) for 12 months, compared with standard therapy alone, is cost-effective in non-ST elevation ACS patients as long as the health service is willing to pay £6078 per additional QALY. However, although treatment with clopidogrel for 12 months remained cost-effective for the overall cohort, provisional findings indicate that the shorter treatment durations may be more cost-effective in patients at low risk.

Lil Wayne: One-Year Sentence Expected in Gun Case
Grammy Award-winning rapper Lil Wayne pleaded guilty to felony gun possession charges Thursday in a New York City courtroom. He is expected to receive a one-year jail sentence, MTV reports.
The charges stem from a 2007 arrest in Manhattan, when Wayne's tour bus was stopped by police for wafting marijuana smoke following his concert at the Beacon Theatre. A search discovered a .40 caliber semi-automatic loaded gun.
Wayne, born Dwayne Carter, had previously pleaded not guilty to the charges, which carried at least 3 1/2 years in jail upon conviction. The trial was set to begin Jan. 20. Thursday's hearing was centered on a controversial DNA profiling technique, which prosecutors said tied the loaded weapon to the artist. The defense maintained that the gun wasn't Wayne's, and that the testing technique was too problematic to prove otherwise, the AP reports.
A solemn Wayne, 27, arrived to for the hearing dressed casually in black jeans, a gray coat, white T-shirt, and blue Converse Chucks, and accompanied by Bryan "Baby" Williams and Ronald "Slim" Williams, the CEOs of his label, Cash Money Records.
Wayne will be sentenced in February 2010. With good behavior, he is expected to serve eight to 10 months.
But the gun charge isn't the only trouble for Wayne: the multi-platinum rapper is also scheduled to go to trial in Arizona on felony drug possession and weapons charges, stemming from a January 2008 arrest at a U.S. Border Patrol checkpoint.
Wayne is currently No. 1 on the pop charts with his cameo on Jay Sean's track "Down." The position is familiar to the rapper: on the success of 2008's Tha Carter III, Wayne shot from underground prodigy to chart-topping pop star. The album has sold over three million copies -- thanks to hits like "A Milli," "Mr. Carter," and "Lollipop" -- and was well received by the press, including SPIN's Charles Aaron, who wrote of Wayne: Never has such a gifted MC been more motivated and distracted, piercing and random, clear-eyed and stoned into total bewildering oblivion. Who can't relate?"
The massive success led to this past summer's nationwide "America's Most Wanted Tour," featuring hot up-and-comer Drake, Jeezy, Soulja Boy, and more.
Wayne has long been prepping his next album, the rock-tinged Rebirth, which is finally expected to drop December 15.

Friday, October 24
Spartan Stadium
Attendance: 26,258
San Jose, CA (Sports Network) - Kellen Moore threw for 244 yards and two scores on 26-of-40 passing, as 13th-ranked Boise State kept its BCS hopes alive with a 33-16 win over San Jose State.
Moore also had one interception, while Ian Johnson ran for 66 yards and two touchdowns for the Broncos (7-0, 3-0 WAC), who took sole possession of first place in the conference. San Jose State had been undefeated in WAC play coming into Friday's contest.
Boise State entered the contest ranked 12th in the BCS standings, and could move up depending on how teams above the Broncos fare on Saturday. Austin Pettis and Jeremy Childs each caught a touchdown for Boise State.
"We were having some success in the run game so we didn't have to throw as much," Boise State head coach Chris Petersen said. "It's the same old story every week, if you have to just keep throwing it they're going to pin their ears back. If we had to throw it a bunch against these guys that's not a matchup we were liking."
Kyle Reed threw for 105 yards on 16-of-29 passing, without a touchdown or interception, as San Jose State (5-3, 3-1) managed just 207 total yards to Boise State's 393.
Brandon Rutley ran for 60 yards and a score in the loss for the Spartans.
"I think (that it's) not very complicated. They're better than us," San Jose State head coach Dick Tomey said. "We have to play really perfectly to beat them. We didn't, obviously. I think that the fact that we were in the game in the second half was a credit to grit and determination of our defense."
Boise State held a 20-9 lead at halftime, but saw San Jose State surge back early in the third quarter to make it a close game.
The Spartans took the ball at their own 16-yard line a little more than four minutes into the second half. The drive stalled almost immediately, but San Jose State benefited from a pass interference call on 3rd-and-10.
Reed completed a couple short passes before Rutley found a seam up the middle and dashed 60 yards into the end zone. With nine minutes still remaining in the third stanza, the Spartans drew within 20-16.
But Boise State answered with a long drive, and, in total, 13 unanswered points to close out the game. The Broncos' next drive took nearly six minutes, and resulted in a 39-yard field goal from Kyle Brotzman with 3:16 remaining.
The teams traded punts, and Boise State held a 23-16 lead going into the fourth quarter.
San Jose State threatened to tie the game on a drive early in the final quarter. Reed completed a 22-yard pass to Brian Elledge that got the ball near midfield, and the team advanced the ball into Boise State territory. But after catching a pass from Reed, Josh Harrison fumbled, giving Boise State the ball at its own 36 with a little more than 12 minutes left.
That resulted in a back-breaking drive that lasted more than six minutes and ended in another Brotzman kick -- this time from 31 yards away.
San Jose State trailed 26-16 and went three-and-out on its next possession, leading to a game-sealing 10-yard TD run from Johnson with 1:04 on the clock.
"We thought it would come down to the fourth quarter, everyone expected that; our guys were ready for that and they did a good job answering," Petersen said.
The Broncos got on the scoreboard first, as Moore connected with Pettis for a five-yard TD eight minutes into the game. The two-point conversion failed, however. Boise State had an opportunity to increase its lead after the Spartans punted, but Moore was intercepted by Justin Cole, who ran the ball back 62 yards for a TD. The kick failed, though, leaving the score at 6-6 heading into the second quarter.
Moore and Childs hooked up for an eight-yard TD connection early in the second quarter, and, after the Broncos got the ball back, Johnson capped a drive with a two-yard scoring run.
Jared Strubeck's 47-yard field goal with six seconds left in the half brought San Jose State within 20-9 at the break.

Does This Look Like The Face Of A Man Who Killed His Roommate For Cooking The Pork Chops Wrong?
HOLLY HILL — A man known for renting out rooms to people trying to recover from drug and alcohol addiction killed one of his tenants after the two men argued about how to prepare pork chops, Police Chief Mark Barker said. But the underlying issue that sparked the row between Thomas Mathew Hahn, 55, and his roommate Robert Gray, 38, had more to do with alcohol than pork chops, an arrest report shows. "I think if you look there's always a definite link (to) alcohol," Barker said Wednesday. Hahn, who has been charged with second-degree murder, had told his other two roommates that he was going to shoot Gray if his tenant came home drunk Tuesday night, the report states. When police arrived at the house about 10:30 p.m. Tuesday and found Hahn sitting in the living room next to Gray's body, he told them: "I shot him in the head two to three times. I didn't want to be attacked anymore." Gray got home and Santimyer heard both Hahn and Gray begin to argue, the report states. Santimyer said Gray sounded drunk. The men were fighting about pork chops and how they should be cooked, Barker said. Santimyer heard them yelling about the pork chops and he began shutting his bedroom door. But then he heard the statement, "If you pull that gun on me, you better use it," the report states. Then Santimyer heard three popping sounds, police said.
Welp at this point I think the world should just go ahead and end next week as the Mayan's predicted. We got people shooting up elementary schools…guys killing each other over pork chops. Might as well just come to an end if this is what its gonna be like.
Anyway, this week on KFC Radio we all discussed some of the every day, regular things about people can clue you in to the fact that they are a psychopath. Like Big Cat said people who hang the rubber testicles from their truck bumper are insane. Kmarko said people who wear sweatpants out in public. Feitelberg said people who have a completely shaved head but a full beard. Well mine is any grown man who has a "roommate." I've said it before and I'll say it again – if you're a 55 year old man and you live with other dudes it will inevitably end in tragedy. Because deep down somewhere you and all your roommates are deeply psychotic. Just 3 old men living together like its college cooking up pork chops getting drunk murdering each other. Least surprising thing Ive ever heard.

Top Ten Films Shot in Fort Lauderdale
But what many don't know is that a lot of films were also shot in Fort Lauderdale. And we're not just talking about Porky's II or Bart Gets a Room.
See also: As A-Rod Battles His Neighbor, Miami Beach's Film Renaissance Hangs in the Balance
We're talking classic, memorable films. Some that you probably have among your all-time favorites and didn't even know were shot in Fort Lauderdale and Broward County.
Here now are our Top Ten Films Shot in Fort Lauderdale:
10. Happy Gilmore (2006)
Back when Adam Sandler still made funny movies, Happy Gilmore is the zany comedy about a hockey player with a powerful drive who joins the PGA Tour so he can earn money to save his grandmother's house from the IRS. Happy Gilmore launched Sandler into the stratosphere, where he now makes terrible movies in which he makes grunty noises and plays his own ugly sister. But this one is a classic, with most of the golf-course scenes shot in Fort Lauderdale.
9. There's Something About Mary (1998)
The Farrelly Brothers' classic gross-out film made careers for Ben Stiller and Cameron Diaz and gave the world memorable scenes like a dude getting his pecker stuck in a zipper and the Seven Minute Abs. There's also a cameo of Brett Favre playing himself and telling Stiller, "I'm in town to play the Dolphins, dumbass."
8. True Lies (1994)
James Cameron and Arnold Schwarzenegger followed up T2 with this high-concept comedy action about secret agent Harry Tasker, whose family thinks he's a dullard computer salesman, when in reality he's actually traveling the world to exotic places and killing terrorists. But when he discovers his bored wife is seeing another man, Tasker uses his talents to track the man down and give Mrs. Tasker a bit of a joly. It's a fun, funny film, with sequences shot in the Keys, Miami, and Fort Lauderdale. Also, Jamie Lee Curtis strip-tease scene!

XU defeats Spring Hill 6-0, advances to GCAC men's final April 24, 2009 Results MOBILE, Ala. — Xavier University of Louisiana won five matches without losing a game Friday and rolled to a 6-0 victory over Spring Hill in the semifinals of the Gulf Coast Athletic Conference Tournament at Copeland-Cox Tennis Center. The Gold Rush, No. 18 in the NAIA coaches poll, top-seeded in the tournament and a two-time defending champion, will play second-seeded Mobile at 6 p.m. Friday for the championship.

If you are looking for cantalope recipes, this Cantaloupe Salsa is very easy to make and it tastes great! To make it, you will need to peel the cantaloupe, clean out the seeds and chop it. Then, combine it with red peppers, red onions, cilantro and lime juice. Mix the ingredients together, and you have Cantaloupe Salsa!
Here are more recipes with fruit salsas: Pineapple Salsa Recipe and Fish Tacos With Pineapple Salsa, Mango Salsa Recipe and Fish With Mango Salsa.
And here are some Fathers Day Gifts and Graduation Gifts.
Ingredients for Cantaloupe Salsa

Which Pillow Do You Need? Video
Down, fiberfill, foam… how do you pick the right pillow? Good Housekeeping shows you the top picks in each category.
How do you know if you need a new pillow? Here's a simple test: fold your pillow in half, put a book on it and let go. If the pillow stays folded, you need a new one. Now comes the hard part. Good Housekeeping Research Institute Textiles Director Kathleen Huddy says consider your choices when buying a new pillow.

Here at the Good Housekeeping Research Institute our top pick in the fiberfill category is this pillow from Aller-Ease. It's a great price, and its allergy protection is a bonus. Our favorite down and feather pillow was this washable one from Land's End. It kept its smooth seams and soft texture after many washings. The Leggett & Platt Brisa memory foam pillows was our winner in that category. It bounced back after being under a 30-pound weight overnight. Our favorite down foam pillows was the down Caress from Stearns & Foster. The latex core is surrounded by down clusters and covered with a cotton silk fabric.

Maintain your pillows by washing them once a season or about three times a year, according to the manufacturer's directions. I'm Jacqueline Boulden.

Sometimes when I get tired of reading the kids books, I just sit and tell them stories. "Once upon a time, there was this little girl named Jemima..." You know, original stories like that.
Well, I'm thinking of this post as the "story" of our living/dining room. Since before we moved in, till now, we've been slowly working on this room, and believe me... there have been times that I've thought "those walls will NEVER be painted!!" or "those curtains will NEVER be hung!!"
And then, suddenly (did I just say the word suddenly?! There's been nothing sudden about this process...), the room starts coming together, and everything just keeps getting prettier and more orderly.
But now I'm getting ahead of myself.
Our story begins with some dirty carpet, yellowed paneling that was [literally] falling down, and some white, badly-needing-to-be-painted walls.
That paneling was BEGGING to be torn down. So my husband--and a few hired guys (yes, we hired some help in for this one)--started tearing down those walls.
Now came the really fun part, and the most expensive part of our house remodeling... at least so far.
In a word, laminate flooring.
[Ok, so that was two words. Sorry.]
A short ASIDE: while we were staying at my parents' (before we moved in to this house), most nights I felt absolutely terrible, so as soon as the kids went to bed, I'd retreat to bed myself. But not to sleep. I kept myself occupied with quite a few "Sell Your House" or "Flip your House" shows. Not only were they entertaining, but I found myself getting all sorts of ideas on what I wanted to do in this house.
So, yeah, if you need some cool house decorating ideas, watch some fix-up-your-house shows. It's kind of like "Pinterest on youtube" or something.
That aside aside, we chose to paint our living room walls this cool gray--specifically, Valspar Vessel Gray.
[And when I say "we," I should say my youngest sister, Hannah--who has spent more hours over here helping us, than I could possibly count. (My mom has, too--and my other sister Theresa... they spent hours and hours working over here, while I sat sick on the couch, in my parents' living room. :( ]
As soon as that lovely paint was on the walls, they already looked SO much better. But they weren't the only item needing a facelift!
These green lovelies were my parents' originally, then they were passed down to my brother, and then they were given to us. Who knows how long they've been in the family, but goodness... they are still NICE couches. They're super comfortable and firm, which is why we didn't want to get rid of them. Since the only issue was the out-dated fabric, we decided to spend $100 on couch covers (instead of much more than that, on new couches ;)).
So this is progress, you see. Tan couch covers (from Target) are ON (though wrinkled... I never did get around to ironing them), and there's a rug that had graced our basement floor in our old house.
Problem is, it didn't quite fit with my new ideas for the living room. Between the floor and the rug, there was entirely too much brown going on. So... we sold it.
Which brings me to another [very important] aside: I've mentioned in previous posts that we've been buying a lot of stuff. It pretty much comes with the territory of buying a house... you need to buy supplies to fix it up, and you need furniture and décor to make it in a pretty home.
But along with all this buying, we've been doing a TON of selling. Before and during the move (and even after--and continuing STILL!), both Matt and I went through every nook and cranny in our house, and sold everything we didn't use, or decorations/furniture/appliances that had fit in our last home, but wouldn't in this home.
We sold a bunch of our big-money items at the beginning, and then I sold $200 worth of smaller stuff at a yard sale last weekend. I let go of things that I realized I really didn't NEED anymore (such as all six seasons of Lost, which I'd watched--in its entirety--3 or 4 times).
So anyway, I'd say we've easily sold $1000+ worth of items. I call this "Selling to Buy." :-) Out with the old (plus CASH!), and in with the new.
While I'm talking about fun stuff like earning-money-through-selling-unwanted-items, I'm going to mention something totally different, but still very fun.
Moving to town introduced me to this whole new world of "buying something one day, and returning it the next." WOW. Okay, so first off, in the country, we didn't really have many options of places to shop, aaaand... going to any stores (except Walmart) was a long drive, a hassle with kids, and so on, so this "Buying/Trying/Returning" would've been difficult.
No longer.
The curtains you saw in the above picture were our "Curtains Experiment #2." Our first set was cream with blue flowers at the bottom, but you could barely see the blue flowers behind the couches.
The second set (seen above) was very light gray, and barely kept out any light. They were more decorative than actually practical.
And the third set, bought from Target, was a definite YES.
[I took those pictures in an attempt to decide if they matched the pillows/couch covers...]
Today--yes, TODAY!! (may I hear loud cheering and clapping for my handsome hubby?!), Matt drilled the holes and hung the beautiful, black curtain rod (I'm a huge fan), while I ironed the curtains, and...
We have curtains. That match the teal-ish color in the pillows. So far, I really like it!!
But let's not forget the dining room side of this living/dining room.
Yep, it was awesome, too.
We bought the dining room table set from--guess, guess, guess... Walmart. I searched Craigslist (and a friend of mine heard I was searching for dining room tables, and she probably searched for me more than I searched for myself!) for a month or two, before I decided... I knew exactly what I wanted.
So we bought it.
As for the greenery in the middle of the table, I've been trying to supply our dining room table with a little vibrant color each day... a little FREE vibrant color. We have several nice bushes around our yard (some flowering, and some just green), and they have kept our dining room table well-supplied with some needed color (especially till we get something on our walls!).
This isn't a great picture, but at least it gives you a better idea of what the full room looks like.
And NOW, 'cause it's so fun, a last BEFORE...
and... AFTER!
What would we still like to add to this room? Floor lamps and a coffee table are at the top of the list, but also... some sort of wall décor, as I just mentioned. Which is why I'm so excited about yard saling. I'm hoping to find some great prices on some GREAT finds.
Well, that's the end of the story for now. Until my next living room report... :)

The modern skeptic needs to be well armed to deal with the array of woo being spewed these days. Biblical criticism is pretty much a solved game but the new-agers can toss out faux-facts faster than you can say, "Bullshit!"
One flavour making the rounds here recently has been the junk science of Terrence McKenna. An incredibly articulate ethnobotanist of the late 20th century, he was able to public several books that garnered the attention of aging hippies and which seem to have renewed their popularity with contemporary new agers. As a self-described psychonaut, his writing mostly revolved around his ever more desperate attempts to instill perceived empirical value to the observations he made of his own consciousness while higher than a kite.
His timewave zero and novelty theories tied into eschatological prognostications for 2012 – a prophecy failure that his devotees overlook as quickly as the adherents of Benny Hinn overlook his. Perhaps the most entertaining of his drug-addled ramblings was his 'Stoned Ape' conjecture.
In his Stoned Ape conjecture, McKenna tried to convince himself that use of magic mushrooms was the catalyst that sprung homo-sapiens into existence from homo-erectus. He starts by assuming that the magnificent shrooms appeared on the African savanna 100,000 years ago and made their way into the homo-erectus diet – both assumptions being supported by zero evidence. He then misrepresents a scientific study about visual perception to suggest that use of these mushrooms increased visual acuity in our early ancestors – thereby making them better hunters.
Based on his first two unfounded assumptions and an outright fabrication he then jumps to the conclusion that the results performed a miraculous one-time instance of Lamarckian inheritance, altering the offspring of psilocybin-gobbling hominids enough to speciate them from surrounding populations of homo-erectus. It just goes on and on, and he actually managed get published for it in 1992 - Food of the Gods.
I feel this load of malarkey is worth our attention, as skeptics, so we can be better prepared to counter the ridiculous claims of McKennites that we may encounter. I know there is one with us lately and felt he might like to put his thoughts on display here for all of us to observe the workings of such a mind.
Nowadays you run into shows like Ancient Aliens promoting crackpot, baseless theories, usually about ancient cultures like the Mayans or Egyptians, and they can be traced back to von Daeniken's technique of asking but not answering questions like "Could this Mayan bas relief depict an alien astronaut?"
I was talking to someone who was pretty amped up on McKenna. Then another guy walked in and was all about ancient aliens must have cut rocks up with lasers (like the ancients didn't have like 100 slaves polishing these stones). It's like if your car doesn't start it must be a government issued electromagnetic pulse (not your dead battery). What the hell? I looked up some of McKenna's stuff, saw a vid of him speaking, blah, blah, blah, sensory deprivation, yada, yada..., shrooms man, blah. blah
I'm amazed these crackpots get followers. I mean I realize the followers are also crackpots but I just don't understand what entices them to follow another crackpot when they could equally well make up their own malarkey.
Overheard at a Phish concert back in '94:
Q: What did one deadhead say to the other after they ran out of shrooms?
A: Man, this music suuuucks!
That's the common experience of people under the influence of psychedelic drugs: the earthly platitudinous seems profoundly cosmic. Drop acid and you might find yourself staring at a dollar bill in transfixed awe for the next twelve hours. (I kid you not.)
It's not hard to imagine McKenna achieving the status of a Deepak Chopra with the stoner crowd, or even with non-stoners who are all too eager to gobble up the same sort of woo-woo.
Consciousness first arose in the mind of a stoned pre-human monkey? Sure, why not. And a tribe of invisible non-corporeal stoned pre-human monkeys lives inside of Deepak Chopra's colon. One "theory" is just about as testable and scientific as the other.
There is a story about a novelist who, upon hearing of the creative benefits of shrooms gave it a try. In the midst of the high, he had an incredible idea for his next novel. He wrote it down and then lay down to sleep. When he woke up he ran over to the pad to read "boy meets girl."
That's funny - I've had similar experiences with alcohol and writing that have led me to greatly limit my alcohol intake when writing seriously. When I began getting serious about writing, I thought of Hemingway and figured that a few extra drinks might unleash my creative processes. When I reviewed my writing the next day, it was pure shit.
I went through a similar process of experimentation during my college years. Nothing that I ever ingested, licked, or inhaled made me any better or worse of an artist, writer, or (here I cringe) dancer.
At the time a few of my fellow young artists, authors, and party-goers did not reach the same conclusions and carried on accordingly, which had some entertainment (if not creative) value.
I think it was worth looking at psychedelic drugs from a scientific standpoint. What if they really did make people more intelligent and creative? But now that it's clear they do not, I don't see much point to using them.
These days I'm strictly into coffee and nothing else. Ah. Coffee.
Had forgotten how grating her voice is.

Free Tools to Generate Your Own QR Code. Posted by Katherine Meyer on August 8, 2011 · 3 Comments This is V3im on QR Codes...
Whether you love them or hate them (or maybe even have no idea what they are), QR codes are quickly gaining popularity as marketing tools. We have talked a lot about how mobile communications are the next big frontiers–and people like Patrick Donnelly, CEO of QR Arts, laud these 2D barcodes as "…an opportunity to turn a brand impression into an interactive exchange in under 10 seconds." How to Use Barcodes at Conferences (and Why You Might Want To) Audiences for oral presentations and poster sessions at academic conferences often want more information about a particular topic.
One way to provide this, obviously, is to create printed flyers or brochures and hope that you've brought enough copies for everyone who's interested. But what if your printed handout doesn't make it all the way back on your audience member's trip home? During the 2011 Digital Humanities conference at Stanford University (currently underway) some people are making use of QR codes, a specific kind of two-dimensional bar code (also known as a matrix code).
For example, Peter Organisciak gave a talk entitled "When to Ask For Help: Evaluating Projects For Crowdsourcing," and on one of his presentation slides–as you can see in the photo at the start of this post–he displayed this QR code: Those of us in the audience with smartphone apps that can read (and interpret) QR codes were able to snap a picture using the camera and then visit the associated page online. A QR Code tells a much bigger story than a barcode.

What's black and white and super-confusing to wrap your head around? If you're unfamiliar with QR codes, not to worry. Those fuzzy boxes on business cards and promotional swag are easily scannable information barcodes. Essentially, you point your camera at the image and get a message, website, or other piece of content beamed directly to your smartphone or computer.

Reshaping our cities builds strong future
PUBLISHED: 03 Aug 2012 00:08:52 | UPDATED: 03 Aug 2012 00:08:52PUBLISHED: 03 Aug 2012 PRINT EDITION: 03 Aug 2012The Australian Financial Review
James Packer's Crown Group will spend $568 million in Perth to build a "six-star" hotel near the Burswood casino and convention centre, with that centre also to undergo a $750 million revamp.
On the east coast, Lend Lease is investing $6 billion in the Barangaroo waterfront project in Sydney that will include a trio of office towers. In Brisbane, the $700 million One One One project in Eagle Street, now the city's largest office tower, was opened on Wednesday, and construction of four big new office towers will begin this year.
This and several other projects, such as the new 45-storey office tower in Perth that houses 3000 BHP Billiton employees, and Melbourne's Docklands developments now under construction, are reshaping our cities.
A great deal of national wealth comes from this continual remaking of our cities, as developers react to market forces, including the resources boom, and the need to renew ageing office building stock. The new hotel in Perth, in particular, will relieve a chronic shortage of top-quality hotel rooms.
With Perth having been at the centre of a full-blown resources boom for years, it is surprising that only 223 high-end rooms have been added since 2006, with existing rooms at an incredible 95 per cent occupancy rate. But room yields were slow to recover after a slump during the global financial crisis. Now that they have, developers have the incentive to switch focus from residential property, where returns have slowed.
West Australian Premier Colin Barnett said on Wednesday that the lack of quality hotel rooms had crowded out tourism opportunities for the city.
As with recent proposals for the Barangaroo complex and The Star casino in Sydney, the investment by Mr Packer's Crown group aims to attract wealthy Asian tourists, notably Chinese. Crown's research shows that this group wants the opportunity to gamble, as well as a top-ranked place to stay.
Other groups of tourists will be attracted to the nearby Subiaco football ground, which is also to be refurbished. This development and others in the major capital cities, including Brisbane's biggest office building, are to be welcomed as our cities are reshaped in line with the resources-boom-led remaking of our economy.

Allergic rhinitis - dust
Things that make allergies or asthma worse are called triggers. Dust is a common trigger. When your asthma or allergies become worse due to dust, you are said to have a dust allergy.
You can do many things to limit your or your child's exposure to dust and dust mites.
Replace blinds that have slats and cloth draperies with pull-down shades. They will not collect as much dust.
Dust particles collect in fabrics and carpets.
Since mattresses, box springs, and pillows are hard to avoid:
Keep indoor air dry. Dust mites thrive in moist air. Try to keep the moisture level (humidity) lower than 30 to 50%, if possible. A dehumidifier will help control humidity.
Central heating and air-conditioning systems may help control dust.
When cleaning:
Keep stuffed toys off beds, and wash them weekly.
Keep closets clean and closet doors closed.

Picture this: An applicant walks into a job interview, extends a firm handshake, looks the hiring manager straight in the eye, and begins to detail her impressive qualifications.
Her résumé clearly shows a record of dependability and enthusiasm. It is evident that teamwork and commitment to the mission at hand are hard-wired into her DNA. She has received world-class training from one of the most revered and demanding organizations in the world. And she has been tested, time and again, in pressure-cooker situations.
What's more, if she is hired, the company may receive a tax credit from the federal government of $5,600 or more.
The applicant is a veteran of the U.S. armed forces. And this scenario occurs every day at job interviews across the country. As the U.S. Secretary of Labor, I have no more sacred responsibility than making sure we serve our military heroes as well as they've served us. Not only do our veterans deserve good-paying civilian jobs, but employers deserve, and need, the productivity and profits that will flow from hiring these extraordinary Americans.
In Vancouver, this is particularly important, since more than 15,000 residents are veterans. Putting veterans to work is more than something on my "to do list." It's been my passion. The Veterans' Employment and Training Service, part of the U.S. Department of Labor, is leading efforts to assist our veterans.
We call it our P3 campaign: prepare, provide and protect.
First, we're preparing veterans to communicate their value to potential employers through an intensive, three-day curriculum that helps them write strong résumés, hone their interview techniques and match their military skills with those required in civilian jobs. As President Obama said, if service members could save a life in Afghanistan, they can save a life in an ambulance. And if they could oversee millions of dollars of supplies in Iraq, they can help a business balance its books.
Second, we're providing a wealth of resources through our American Job Center network. Veterans are given priority assistance at nearly 3,000 local employment centers nationwide, including many in Washington. Post-9/11 veterans are eligible for a "Gold Card," which entitles them to six months of intensive service and personalized case management.
We also have innovative online resources. At MyNextMove.org/vets, returning service members can enter their military occupation code and discover civilian jobs where their skills translate. Or they can enter a specific field and browse hundreds of different career options.
A priority
Third, we're protecting the rights of veterans to receive priority consideration for employment in the federal workforce. President Obama signed an executive order to bolster the government's recruitment and retention of veterans. Since that order, more than 225,000 veterans and Reservists have obtained federal employment. I employ thousands of veterans at the Labor Department, and I know firsthand that they are a terrific pool of talent, so this isn't just rhetoric for me. It's reality.
Those who fought to protect our freedoms abroad shouldn't have to fight for jobs when they return home. So my message to America's veterans on Labor Day and every day is this: We're committed to you. Your skills, your experience, and your dedication are crucial to our economic recovery.
And my Labor Day message to employers in is equally important: The best way to honor our veterans is to hire them.

There was no way Penguin was going to get away with anything on Friday.Thousands of San Franciscans responded to an avalanche of social media blasts, lining the streets wherever Miles and a full-sized Batman swooped into action. At Hyde and Green streets, there was a damsel in distress to rescue, and the bat duo arrived in a Lamborghini with Batman decals. At 550 Montgomery St., a burgled bank vault needed to be liberated.

The Slaughter Family Home PageUpdated October 3, 2001 |
Ronald Lee Slaughter 15427 Baybrook Drive Houston, TX 77062 A-United States 281 480 0342 firstname.lastname@example.com |
Edit Your Page |
We are researching the Slaughter family line of Ezekiel Slaughter circa 1724-1729 of King William County, Virginia. Ezekiel's father, we believe, was John Slaugher married to Sarah Butler who had two children Ezekiel and Elizabeth. My specific line from Ezekiel is Reuben, born 11/4/1766 and married to Mary "Polly" Lawson who had seven children. Son Ezekiel born 12/11/1792 in Tuscalossa County, Alabama, and married to Ann Pendleton had 10 children. Son Columbus William Slaughter was my great grandfather, born 8 24, 1867, in Alabama and buried in Clay County, Texas, having died 12/5/1943. C. W. (Lum) married Temperance P. Freeman who bore my grandfather, Robert Lee Slaughter 8/24/1867 and was married to Maggie M. McCray. Both are buried in Buffalo Springs Cemetary, Clay County, Texas. My father was Lee Otis Slaughter, born 3/19/04 and marrying Verna Inez Dye, both of whom are buried in Henrietta Cemetary, Clay County, Texas. I am interested in the Descendants of James Butler circa 1700, the descendants of Daniel McCray 1745 born in Scotland, descendants of David Lee Cooper, October 11, 1773, and descendants of Mathieu Agee (Age')originally of France and, then, Virginia. I am interested in information on Worth Henderson Dye, my grandfather and/or Mattie Frank, my grandmother. |
