These are very nice solutions. Would love to hide the tv behind artwork or a two way mirror but my tv is on a full motion wall mount and it doesn't sit flush or close against the wall. We sacrificed good design for function and budget. sigh. I'll post my whole set up in a design dilemma discussion at some point. So many issues with my fireplace tv set up which is flanked by tall windows. try running hdmi cables in that existing construction. not easy to find anyone who can pull off that miracle. These photos are nice to see that there are builders out there who think ahead.

Make sure the local artist is good. When looking at houses, I saw some murals --- a particularly memorable one was some frowzy mermaids in a bathroom --- that made me think the first thing I'd do after closing would be to hire a painter.

For the most comfortable viewing, your TV should be positioned so that the centre of the screen is level with your eye line when you are seated. Putting a TV above a fireplace is a bad idea ergonomically and aesthetically.

I agree about the stiff neck. I don't think people actually consider sitting and looking up for hours when placing a TV high over a mantel. When going to the movies, the last seats that fill up are the ones down below with the ones directly in front of the screen filling up first. I would think the ideal height for a screen would be eye level when sitting down.

What other good options are there for the TV? We have an outdated rock wall - it's real rocks, about 8 inches deep, so we are stuck with it. We plan to tile over it, and I both love(more floor space) and hate(drilling through my new tile wall - ack!) the idea of having the TV over the fireplace.

In my previous house, we moved the TV out of the great room where the fireplace was. We always watched upstairs in our bedroom and had room for comfy chairs there. New house has no fireplace, and I am past worrying about concealing the actual TV. If we can just hide the cords and all the different add-on components (no small feat!) I am in 7th heaven. I want to add a fireplace here eventually, but I'll put it in my study, which adjoins the great room where the TV holds sway. There is room for chairs there to sip wine and enjoy the flames. I honestly don't think the flat screens themselves are that terrible to look at. Much less intrusive than the old-style TV and all the boxes and cords. I don't like the looks of TVs near fireplaces because they take attention away from something beautiful that cost $$$. There are a lot of good ideas in this article, but I think some of them detract from the fireplace even more than a TV. If you can, I say move the thing to a different room and find a way to hide the cords and peripherals.

The best I saw was a spring counter balanced pull down for the TV that brought the screen down to eye level, but the mount cost as much as the TV.

We just bought and have started remodelling; the first thing we did was install a natural gas fireplace between windows in the LR. We have downsized, and the only place for the TV was above the fireplace, which I was not thrilled about. But... I am very happy with the almost-finished result. The fireplace is designed to throw heat out, not up, and we had a small mantle installed, so it deflects the naturally rising heat. The TV is mounted on an adjustable bracket, so it points down for comfortable viewing. We planned the wiring, so that there are plugs for accent lights, Xmas lights etc on the mantle, and the TV/cable box/blueray cords run direct from back of TV to the equipment on the shelf beside the fireplace. We will be getting a Smart TV soon, and I am going to run a display of artsy photos, in place of artwork. I also adopted the attitude that if we were modernizing the house, then embrace the technology this modern world uses everyday. Not for everyone, but we are very pleased with how it is turning out. Just have to do some tiling and painting, then on to the next project!

Gotta tell ya, putting the tv above the fireplace is just a BAD idea. That placement is just too high. You will constantly be straining your head and neck. I don't understand why 'designers' continue to push this idea. The only time it works is in the bedroom where you are lying down and are generally higher off the floor than when seated. The solution is to place the tv in a room or area where it is the focal point. Not only is this best for optimum viewing (and hearing) but you will save on chiropractor bills!

Putting the TV over the fireplace is a terrible trend. As several have noted, it's far too high for comfortable viewing. It's also aesthetically awful--hence your article on how to hide it.

I wonder how many people who comment about neck strain have actually watched a TV above a fireplace? We put our feet up and stretch out - and find the TV is the perfect height for that. We used to have recliners and an eye level TV, but when you recline, your feet are right in the line of vision, AND you're tucking your chin down to watch. Now that really hurt my neck & back! I find mirrors and bad paintings above a fireplace esthetically displeasing, but shouldn't the point of having your own home be to make it comfortable for yourself?

Hey. I just posted these same pictures last week on an article about fireplace/tv arrangements...but it seems relevant here again so hopefully someone will get something out of it. This was built from scratch in our new house, not a remodel, so we planned ahead to direct fireplace heat away from the TV. Viewing angle seems OK... maybe because we're far away enough?

This is a fireplace remake where we were faced with a big cavity left by the builder to put the TV in. It was in a very casual setting so we framed the wall in bleached wood for a more nautical look. The two shutter panels slide easily to the side on a track to reveal the TV.

I agree the best way to watch an above-the-fireplace TV is in a reclined position. I find the majority of the examples shown draw more attention to the oddly disguised space that fool nobody. A better option is to incorporate the TV as part of the room's design by repeating the black rectangular shape of a TV elsewhere in the room e.g. coffee table, wall panel, rug etc. Just don't overdo it. :)

Let's be honest - all this tv concealment is ridiculous. It's the 21st century, the vast majority of us watch tv every day, and often. It's far better to consider it as part of the furnishings, and incorporate it into design, not try and hide it.
All of these hiding ideas end up making it awkward to use, and someone's always not in viewing line.
Let's discard the antiquated concept of a formal living room, which, in the words of a recent House Hunters participant, is a "stupid room" - one which one one uses except a few days a year, Let's USE our rooms, however we need to. And let's design with that in mind.

I have to add a comment about "too high for viewing"...we have a t.v. over the fireplace and I was completely against it, but now that it is done, it is much more comfortable to watch than when our t.v. was on a standard t.v. stand. I do tend to lean back and put my feet up when I watch and our t.v. does tilt downward slightly, but it is perfect. I also can see my t.v. from the kitchen now and it is a perfect viewing height for when I'm standing up in the kitchen. As far as the heat issue, the mantel we have appears to deflect any heat from affecting the t.v. and after a couple of years, everything still works and looks fine. The last thing is the wiring, DVD player, etc. We have it all wired to the basement and use a remote that will communicate to all the things in the basement. There is no evidence of a cable box or other electronics in our family room. The only downfall is you have to go downstairs to insert a DVD which could be a nuisance for some, but it is not a problem for us. I'm not sure how a t.v. over a mantel is more of an eye sore than anywhere else in the room. I agree with embracing it rather than disguising it.

Big E Langston release
Wrestlemania is basically considered the end of the season for WWE, so the front office likes to bring up some fresh faces from NXT to replenish the roster after the big pay per view. Speculations are already surfacing. A potential name on the chopping block is Big E Langston. He is an underrated performer, but management has already placed the glass ceiling over him, it seems. Not even a recommendation from John Cena was enough to help give him a push.
March 24, 2015
New Day push
There are speculations floating around that WWE is doing an about face with the New Day stable and are actually considering a push for the trio. Rumors were started when the official company website published an article where it suggested that management might bring back the Freebird Rule, which would enable Xavier Woods, Kofi Kingston and Big E Langston to share the tag team championship. It could just be a tease from the writers.
March 14, 2015
Wrestlemania tag team match
It looks like WWE will actually showcase their tag team championship at Wrestlemania this year. As of right now, there are plans penciled in to do a title match featuring four different teams. Management is still undecided about a championship scramble or a simple fatal four way. The rumored contestants for the match are Jimmy Uso, Jey Uso, Tyson Kidd, Antonio Cesaro, Kofi Kingston, Xavier Woods, Big E Langston, Diego and Fernando.
March 11, 2015
Xavier Woods at Wrestlemania
If you look at the record books, you will notice that Xavier Woods has yet to work a pay per view for WWE this year. That streak will more than likely be ending at Wrestlemania, as he is rumored to be a possible participant in two different matches. Woods might team up with Kofi Kingston or Big E Langston to face several tag teams for the title. If management does not go that route, then Woods will be a participant in the battle royal.
March 2, 2015
Big E Langston push
For those of you that are under the assumption that John Cena has or uses a lot of stroke backstage, take a look at Big E Langston. The former pushed really hard for WWE to give the latter a chance in the main event scene. Management gave Langston a brief push, but it was not sustained. Nor did it take him that far up the ladder. He is essentially lost in the shuffle as a filler wrestler now. Cena does not play the political game as much as former stars did.
February 5, 2015
Xavier Woods at Royal Rumble
Initially, WWE had plans for all three members of New Day to be involved in the Royal Rumble, with the trio possibly doing some sort of segment during the big battle royal to help Kofi Kingston avoid elimination again. However, those plans might have been shelved, as Xavier Woods is said to be suffering from some sort of injury. Management has been resting him a big. Kingston and Big E Langston could still do a segment together still.
January 22, 2015
New Day split
Since it is fairly obvious now that WWE does not believe in the New Day being a marketable act, there have been some speculations about the trio being split up in the near future. However, that does not appear to be the case. The belief is that management will keep Xavier Woods, Kofi Kingston and Big E Langston together, as it is easier to do that than to rebuild them as individuals and provide them with separate stories to work with.

New Day at Royal Rumble
Rumors are floating around right now that the New Day will be given a featured spot at the Royal Rumble, where Xavier Woods and Big E Langston are expected to be a part of the annual big spot from Kofi Kingston. Management halted the push that the trio was supposed to get, but an exciting spot during the battle royal could help to change all of that. No word yet on what Kingston has planned, but you can be certain that he is already thinking of it.

In San Francisco's 11 wins Florida ranked fifth in the nation in scoring defense (14.46 points per game) and fourth against the run (94.92 ypg) under Quinn. There's a stereotype you'll hear about Chip Kelly -- before the man the Eagles just hired as their new coach ever puts the headset on for his first regular-season game -- and his quarterbacks running the football a lot. Don't believe it: He'll make his offense work dependent on the personnel he has on his roster, just a hunch dallas cowboys Jerseys which ranked fourth in the league during the regular season, which makes no sense -- not only because they're soaring on emotion but because their quarterback just listen to the man himself."There's perception and there's reality. The perception is we run our quarterback all the time. The reality is.

World No.1 Novak Djokovic faced No. 2 Rafael Nadal in the Men s final, in their third consecutive Grand Slam finals match.
2011 was a stellar year for Djokovic, as he won three out of the four major championships, and defeated Nadal in six matches throughout the year.
On this warm Sunday night at Rod Laver Arena, that dominance continued, but it wouldn t be easy, as the two best players in the world played a five-set marathon into Monday morning in the longest Grand Slam final in history and Djokovic would win his third Australian Open title, 5-7, 6-4, 6-2, 6-7, 7-5.

Love of history drives Columbus restoration
- Jeff Bell
- DBJ Contributor
Pete Loscocco enjoys the sense of history he experiences every time he walks into the Alpha Building at the corner of Long and 17th streets in the King Lincoln Arts & Entertainment District in Columbus.
He said that feeling is a big reason why he and his wife, Laurie, have taken on the renovation of a building that had fallen on hard times in an impoverished neighborhood long before they bought it three years ago.
"It really was a situation where my interest in history, old buildings and Columbus intersected," said Loscocco, a Columbus area resident and vice president with Hexion Specialty Chemicals Inc. "My interest first and foremost was restoring an old building with a lot of history and hopefully making it work as an investment as well."
Located along a stretch of boarded-up buildings and vacant lots, the Alpha building's past was much brighter than its present when the Loscoccos acquired it.
Known as the Alpha Hospital when it opened in 1920, the building was erected by Dr. William Method, a Harvard-trained surgeon, and Dr. Robert Tribbitt, a dentist.
Like other black physicians in Columbus back then, Method was denied privileges at white hospitals because of his race. That meant he and other African-American doctors had to turn over their patients to white physicians when they needed surgery or hospitalization.
Such care was provided at the Alpha Hospital through the 1920s before the building was converted to retail offices on the ground floor and medical offices and a nursing school on the second floor. Through the years, the building's retail tenants have included a drug store, flower shop, newsstand and fish market.
Today, the Loscoccos are looking for retail and office tenants for the 3,200-square-foot, two-story building as they wrap up restoration work that has been in full swing since last October.
Vacant for about four years when the couple bought it, the building was in serious disrepair. The roof was shot, the plaster walls were ruined, and there was no heat or electrical service. The renovation work has included a new roof, windows and heating and cooling system. The building's facade has been restored to what it looked like in the 1920s, Pete Loscocco said. The interior features a pressed tin ceiling, exposed brick and ductwork and some of the building's original tile floor.
Loscocco would not say exactly how much he and his wife have invested in the renovation but estimated the cost at several hundred thousand dollars.
"We have serious skin in the game," he said, noting the Alpha Building is the couple's first commercial real-estate venture.

Braeger Chevy helped make these videos
We are still working to obtain content for your car, however the video above is believed to have similar characteristics as your car.
Daytime running lights, sometimes referred to as DRLs or DTRs, are lights that switch on automatically when your 2002 GMC Sierra 1500 is turned on and in drive. Since the daytime running lights are on whenever you are driving your Sierra 1500, they are often the first bulbs to burn out. The video above shows you how to change the daytime running lights in your 2002 Sierra 1500. These bulbs grow dimmer by over 20% over time, therefore we recommend changing both bulbs on your Sierra 1500 at the same time, even if only one bulb is burnt out - this will allow both DRL bulbs to have the same intensity and prevent the old DRL bulb from appearing dimmer than the new one.
When you change the daytime running light on your Sierra 1500, it is important not touch the glass part of the bulb with your fingers because the oil from your fingertips will cause that part of the bulb to burn hotter, which significantly shortens the life of the bulb. Some studies indicate that driving with your lights on can reduce accidents by 18 - 34%, driving with your DRLs or headlights on the day can reduce your chance of getting in an accident.

Tony Sheridan, early Beatles associate, dies at 72
BERLIN (AP) - Tony Sheridan, a British singer who performed with the Beatles during their early years in Hamburg, has died in Germany. He was 72.
Frank Orth, the owner of Wemo Records, a German label that issued his last album, said Sheridan died Saturday. He didn't have details of the cause.
Former Beatle Paul McCartney said on his website that Sheridan "was a good guy who we knew and worked with from the early days in Hamburg."
Sheridan was born in Norwich, England, on May 21, 1940. He went to Hamburg in 1960 with a makeshift band, the Jets- and during his time in the German port city was backed by the Beatles. Sheridan and the Beatles together recorded "My Bonnie," released in 1962.
Sheridan lived near Hamburg in recent years.

The U.S. government has categorically denied the conspiracy theories linking it with the terror group ISIS (Islamic State of Iraq and Syria).
The rumours started rounding up because Hillary Clinton reportedly admitted it in her book "Hard Choices."
Conspiracy theorists took screenshots of excerpts of her book where Clinton, former US secretary of state, allegedly said the U. S. was the brains behind the establishment of the Islamic State.
Read: ISIS Launches 'Caliphate' Passport, Openly Distributes Leaflets in London
But in reality, what Clinton did say in the book was that the failure of the US to aid Syrian rebels created an opening and catapulted the rise of the Islamic State.
In fact, in an interview with the Atlantic, Clinton said, said, "The failure to help build up a credible fighting force of the people who were the originators of the protests against [Bashar al-Assad] - there were Islamists, there were secularists, there was everything in the middle - the failure to do that left a big vacuum, which the jihadists have now filled."
Although she had dispelled rumours, people in Lebanon seemed to strongly believe the lies, if to judge the actions of the Lebanese Foreign Ministry which summoned U.S. Ambassador David Hale to explain the rumour.
Read: ISIS Recruits Children, Brainwashes Them to Kill Christians; Vatican Says Military action 'Probably Necessary'
Going a step further, the U.S. Embassy in Beirut released a status statement on Facebook quelling the rumours and that any story involving the U.S to the establishment of ISIS were just "pure fabrication."
That the U.S. is specifically being targeted as chief mastermind, according to Octavius Pinkard, not shocking since it is fond of supporting militant and guerrilla groups.
"Such theories abound, largely because Washington has shown a propensity for outsourcing regime change. Support for insurgent groups in that context is certainly not a new practice and, as of late, has not been a particularly effective one," Pinkard, a specialist in foreign policy analysis and Middle East politics, told BBC News.

Mechanical in-exsufflation (MI-E) augments the weakened cough of patients with neuromuscular disease (NMD), clearing secretions and overcoming atelectasis. Little has been published on the impact of MI-E alone on rates of hospitalisation and quality of life (QOL). The aim of this study was to assess the impact of home MI-E on hospital admissions and life-style in children with NMD.
A retrospective chart review was performed on children using MI-E, including data on the number of admissions to hospital, length of stay and hours of ventilation. A parental survey was used to gather information on the impact of MI-E on life-style for the child and family.
Ten children with NMD (seven spinal muscular atrophy, two Duchenne muscular dystrophy and one centronuclear myopathy) using MI-E at home were identified. MI-E use commenced at mean age of 8.5 years (range 1.1–16.9) with 1.4 years of use (range 0.3–3.8). MI-E pressures ranged from +/−30 to 40 cmH2O with no complications reported. There was a significant reduction in hospital days at 6 (P = 0.036) and 12 (P = 0.028) months following commencement of home MI-E compared with the same period preceding MI-E use. The survey highlighted positive benefits of MI-E use, in particular the ability to treat many pulmonary exacerbations at home.
Home MI-E use by children with NMD can reduce hospitalisation and benefit families by maintaining their child at home.

Jessica Chastain refuses to date fellow actors because she is too worried about the attention she would attract as one half of an all-star couple.
The actress once stepped out with another celebrity, but Chastain was so fearful about the possibility of being photographed, she pledged never to have a famous boyfriend again.

She tells Britain's InStyle magazine, "I have a rule. No actors. I have dated an actor before, at Juilliard (acting school), but since then, I've only been on a couple of dates with one, and I was so freaked out someone was going to take a picture of us, because they were famous.""

"I realized I wanted just to be able to hang out with someone ... And I didn't want to talk about the business, first of all. I love movies. But I love talking about them like when I was 15 years old. I'm a film fan, but I don't want to talk about auditions or what movie I'm gonna do. I find that so boring."
Chastain refuses to detail her current relationship, but adds, "If you fished around enough, you could find some information. To be honest, I never talk about it. Some people in the fashion world know, though."

This very large mouth is part of an exhibit called "Body Venture," a 45-foot by 50 foot exhibit that "has kids walking through a giant person's open mouth, travel through a stomach and small intestines and end up in the "brain dome" an ogre-like creature with a huge nose." They get to brush and floss very large teeth and dance in the stomach. This is all part of a grant from the USDA to the Kansas State Department of Education created because "our kids are flunking eating."
They claim that one in three children are overweight or obese, which someone has determined by body mass index (BMI) which is not an accurate measurement of any such thing. The USDA has announced a new round of grants of up to $5.5 million to convince the kids that Michelle Obama's "Healthy Hunger-Free Kids Act" new lunch standards are really good, so they should stop complaining.
The USDA has almost always been wrong about telling us what to eat. They pushed a high carbohydrate diet, and gave millions of Americans diabetes. Fat was bad, eggs were bad, salt was bad, and eat lots of fruit. Current statistics say fat is fine, and needed. Bacon is fine. Eggs are good for you and an excellent source of protein. You need some salt in your diet, and fruit is mostly just pure sugar.
I am really tired of hearing reports that our kids graduating from high school are poor at reading, can't write, poor at math, and don't measure up in international comparisons. And in entering college they need remedial work to catch up.After they got through the digestive system, students "participated in cooking/tasting activities and received a student activity booklet with recipes and weekly activities," according to the USDA.
Filed under: Democrat Corruption, Education, Health Care, Junk Science, Politics, Progressivism, Regulation, Statism | Tags: Mindful Eating, The Wonders of Broccoli, USDA & Food
The federal government is obsessed with teaching children to eat what they believe the children should eat. It seems to be Michelle Obama's childhood obesity thing. Kids come in a wide variety of sizes and shapes and some get their growth early, and others late. Watch the kids come out of a junior high school at the end of a school day.
Here is an article from the Free Beacon titled "Feds Spend $149,890 on 'Mindful eating Intervention' for Third Graders" It is a study based on the techniques of a Zen teacher to try to "fight childhood obesity" and turn kids into "change agents" to teach their peers and their family how to eat healthy.
The project, entitled, "Foodie U: The Impact of a Pilot Mindful Eating Intervention on Food Behaviors Among Children and Families," will focus on low-income Hispanic children.
"The elementary school age is a crucial period for developing life-long dietary habits while parents still significantly influence their food intake," the grant said. "A school-based mindful eating intervention with parent involvement may positively influence children's food behaviors."
Mindfulness is a New Age meditation technique that traces its origins from Buddhism. People engaging in mindfulness are encouraged to focus on the present moment "non-judgmentally." A 60 Minutes segment on mindfulness showed Anderson Cooper using the practice by eating in silence very slowly, focusing on every bite.
The article adds that the National Institutes of Health (NIH) has spend $100.2 million on studies testing mindfulness meditation. The study will involve focus groups and include activities about enjoyment of flavor, texture and appearance, hunger and fullness awareness, food and mood, family sit-down meals, and a cultural feast.
They'll rope in the parents as well to teach them about "mindful eating practices, like beginning the meal with grace, playing the "how full is my stomach" game and telling children creative things like "broccoli is trees for dinosaurs to eat."(It's always broccoli, isn't it?) Cal State University students will serve as "nutrition educators" and "Mindful eating facilitators" for the children involved.
I find this offensive and outrageous. Am I out of line? I don't think it is the government's business. "The goal of the USDA project is to make children consume fewer "high palatable, high calorie foods," while also raising the "awareness and appreciation" of food. No cupcakes, you must like broccoli better. For class birthday celebrations they can have "broccoli parties."
There's actually a reason why chefs invented hollandaise sauce.

As the highlight of Sunshine Week, the White House celebrates by removing the federal regulation that subjects the Office of the Administration to FOIA requests. Actually many agencies within the federal government won't respond to FOIA requests until they are successfully sued. 'Others play the waiting game, the "we can't find it" game, and the "fine, but it' ll cost you" game, and now the Office of the Administration will play the "We don't have to"game.
WASHINGTON (AP) — The Obama administration set a record again for censoring government files or outright denying access to them last year under the U.S. Freedom of Information Act, according to a new analysis of federal data by The Associated Press.
The government took longer to turn over files when it provided any, said more regularly that it couldn't find documents and refused a record number of times to turn over files quickly that might be especially newsworthy.
It also acknowledged in nearly 1 in 3 cases that its initial decisions to withhold or censor records were improper under the law — but only when it was challenged.
The administration's backlog of unanswered requests has grown to more than 200,000, growing by 55 percent just this last year. it also cut by 375 people the number of full time employees paid to look for the records requested. The Freedom of Information Law is heralded globally as a model for transparent government. Much celebrated, but fitfully complied with. More than ever, it censored materials that it turned over, or fully denied access to them — in 250,581 cases.
The American Civil Liberties Union received a 15 page response to a request for information on the Justice Department's policy of intercepting text messages on cellphones — every single page was blacked out from top to bottom.
Heavy redactions are a common government trick, and agencies are adept at exploiting any ambiguity in the law to prevent the release of requested records. The Washington Examiner has a list of some of the outrageous avoidance techniques that demonstrate just how far an agency will go. It's not clear if they are actually trying to hide something or if they are just exercising what they believe to be their prerogatives, as important government agencies.
Remember the protective nature of bureaucracy and their reluctance to release anything that might reflect badly upon them. Transparency and truth-telling are dangerous steps. Who knows just how they might use that information? They might try to eliminate an agency, or cut its funding. Better to hunker down and stall.
Filed under: China, Democrat Corruption, Domestic Policy, Environment, Regulation, Taxes | Tags: Environmental Protection Agency, Out of Control Bureaucrats, Useless and Costly
Sometimes you just don't know whether to just laugh at the Obama administration, or pity them. The Environmental Protection Agency has it eyes on pollution from backyard barbecues. The agency has announced that it will fund a University of California project to limit emissions resulting in grease drippings with a special tray to catch them, and a "catalytic" filtration system.
Damn fools aren't content with banning our efficient and inexpensive incandescent lightbulbs, and messing up the lighting fixture market, ruining our shower heads, ditto toilets, washing machines, most appliances, and trying desperately to get control of everything in our houses — now they are going to take on our backyards. The kids' wading pool is next.
The grant is only for $15,000, so we'll see what they can do to all barbecues with that much.
The school is proposing two fixes to reduce emissions from barbecues. First, they want to cut back on grease flare-ups. The idea: "A slotted and corrugated tray is inserted immediately prior to meat flipping, and removed immediately after. This short contact time prevents the tray from over-heating and volatilizing the collected grease. This collected grease will then drip off into a collection tray and can be used at the pit master's discretion."
But, total capture isn't "practical," so a filter and fan are proposed for installation. "The secondary air filtration system is composed of a single pipe duct system which contains a specialized metal filter, a metal fan blade, a drive shaft, and an accompanying power system with either a motorized or manual method. This system can be powered by either an exterior electric motor with a chain-driven drive shaft, directly spinning the fan blade, or a hand-powered crank," said the project write-up.
When they get down to particulate matter that might possibly be inhaled by barbecue pit masters, it's time to shut the agency down. Or even better, lets loan the whole bunch to China, permanently. They need help.
We expect to limit the overall air pollution PM [particulate matter] emissions from barbecuing and to alleviate some of the acute health hazards that a barbecue pit master can experience from inhalation. The particulate matter present during cooking with and without the grease diverter and PM2.5 filters will be tested and compared to that of current data using a conventional propane barbecue using a fumehood chamber with detectors at CE-CERT. Personal exposure of PM2.5 will also be monitored throughout the experimentation period to determine the degree of acute exposure of particulates to the cook.

Secretary of State John Kerry delivered a haughty speech on climate change at the Atlantic Council in Washington on Thursday. He is upset that those Republican yokels don't understand that climate change is happening and that humans are largely responsible, and those facts should be as universally accepted as the law of gravity.
Well, we yokels do accept the laws of gravity, not so much because Sir Isaac Newton said so, but because it is an observable truth. I would be most gratified if the dishes I drop would float for a while before falling, so I could catch them before they break, but gravity triumphs every time.
No one denies that climate change is happening. The climate is always changing, always will. It has been far warmer in the past, and far colder as well. We have all heard of Ice Ages. What we are skeptical about is that the current warming phase occurs only in computer climate programs — not in the real world. In the real world, where accurate temperatures across the world are measured by satellites, there hasn't been any warming for eighteen years. Mr. Kerry said:
Now folks, we literally do not have the time to waste debating whether we can say 'climate change.' We have to talk about how we solve climate change. Because no matter how much people want to bury their heads in the sand, it will not alter the fact that 97 percent of peer-reviewed climate studies confirm that climate change is happening and that human activity is largely responsible."
Oh dear, the 97% "consensus" (2013) Cook et. al. has been refuted in scholarly peer-reviewed journals, major news media, public policy organizations and think tanks, credentialed scientists. 100 percent of the former say that warming has nearly stopped.
I'll bet Mr. Kerry has never read any of the science, but only accepted what he believes to be the conventional wisdom. He insisted that last year was the warmest of all, (it wasn't even close ) and added that "I don't mean to sound haughty" — when has he ever not? I'm not sure that you can be a skeptic and a member of the Obama administration.
He issued a passionate call for nations to forgo the short-term lure of "outdated" fossil fuels — "The bottom line is that we can't only factor in the price of immediate energy needs. We have to factor in the cost of long-term carbon pollution. We have to factor in survival."
"We need to face reality," he added. "There is no 'Planet B.'"
Joe Biden made a speech along exactly the same line. "Climate Change is as real as the law of gravity" so that is apparently the administration's approved line of the day. It is a concerted Democratic assault on "deniers,"or those who do not follow the party line on climate change orthodoxy. Why? Because as with all progressive campaigns, the issue is never the issue.
The computer climate simulations put in what information we knew about the climate for sure, which wasn't much, some assumptions, some complete guesses, and unfortunately could not predict the climate of today—when we already knew the correct answer. There is a lot that remains unknown — especially the action of clouds, and if you are a cloud-watcher, that difficulty is easy to understand.
When new Secretary of the Interior Sally Jewell first spoke to her department, she said "I hope there aren't any deniers here!" That orthodoxy is clearly expected in the Obama administration, and it is clearly expected in the Science departments of many universities.
Climate science, because of governmental interest — which includes grants, prestige, higher salaries. For the university more interest, more money, better equipment. Aside from government grants, there is money from NGOs and even some corporations. If the world is really heating up dangerously a lot of people want to know about it. Scientists in many different departments suddenly found that they could write a good grant proposal and suddenly they were climate scientists and in the money.
The list of non-governmental organizations (NGOs) dependent on global warming panic for their funding and livelihood is long, and you know the big ones. NRDC, Sierra Club, Greenpeace, Friends of the Earth, Wilderness Society, World Wildlife Fund, Nature Conservancy, National Audubon Society,Environmental Defense Fund—that's just a few of the biggies. There are literally hundreds more.
They have depended on emotional appeals to raise money and entice activists to the cause — first, it was baby harp seals who were being clubbed to death, then the spotted owl, and finally the Greens latched on to the polar bears as their standard-bearer. Not enough ice, the bears were endangered, going to go extinct if you didn't cough up enough funding. The bears were never endangered, though they did get them labeled "threatened, but better surveys certified that the bears were just fine, increasing in numbers, and Arctic ice melts in the summer and grows in the winter, and in recent winters of "polar vortexes" is more extensive than ever.
It seems, however, that Mr. Kerry's speech and Mr. Biden's speech are only the tip of a fairly massive iceberg floating along under the surface. More to come.
Filed under: Democrat Corruption, Domestic Policy, Energy, Environment, Regulation, The United States | Tags: Fish & Wildlife Service, Sacred Eagle Feathers, Texas' Lipan Apache Tribe
The Wall Street Journal reports that:
This week, nine years after a federal agent infiltrated a religious ceremony to seize an American Indian tribe's sacred objects, pastor Robert Soto finally got his feathers back. But the feds are still threatening civil and criminal penalties against Mr. Soto if he shares his feathers with anyone. And the government intends to seize them again upon his death. In the annals of government abuse, the federal "Operation Powwow" is one for the ages.
As long ago as 2005 gumshoes from the Interior Department's Fish and Wildlife Service started sniffing around Mr. Soto's Lipan Apache Tribe of Texas and the McAllen Grace Brethren Church, where he leads the exercise of traditional American Indian worship. In 2006 a special agent made his not-so-daring move.
He attended the ceremony, asking questions about the feathers but identifying himself as a federal investigator only after encouraging a worshiper to share information. The government eventually confiscated dozens of eagle feathers that were being used in the peaceful exercise of religion.
There is such a thing as the Migratory Bird Treaty Act, which means that unlicensed possession of feathers can result in fines or even jail time. Two of Mr. Soto's offending feathers were given to his brother-in-law by an American Indian soldier who was deployed to Iraq and Afghanistan. It's not easy to get a license to receive feathers for religious purposes, and can take years.
Mr. Soto is a Lipan Apache, a tribe that is recognized by the State of Texas,, but not Washington. It is therefore illegal for Mr. Soto to practice his faith. With help from the Becket Fund for Religious Liberty, he filed a civil suit against Interior Secretary Sally Jewell. He won his appeal last year along with the Hobby Lobby case which was also a religious freedom case.He got his feathers back, but he cannot give feathers to other worshipers.
Seems like they ought to be allowed to wander around the nation's wind farms to pick up the feathers from the dead eagles. The Washington Times reported in September of 1913 that wind farms in 10 states have killed at least 85 eagles since 1997, with most occurring between 2008 and 2012 as the industry was expanding. Most were struck by a turbine. Wind farm turbines are as tall as 30-story buildings, and the spinning rotors can reach speeds up to 170 mph at the tips 'creating tornado-like vortexes.' Texas has wind farms.
The Obama administration finalized a rule to allow wind farms to kill eagles for up to 30 years — undoubtedly another executive order in December of 2013. The American Bird Conservancy has sued because the rule violated the federal Migratory Bird Treaty Act, and was adopted without any consultation under the Endangered Species Act.
A study estimated 888,000 bat and 573,000 bird fatalities per year, with 83,000 raptors included. That would produce a pretty big pile of feathers. There are even more deaths at the big solar arrays, but those birds just go up in a puff of smoke — no feathers left. So you see how complicated federal regulations are.
Mr. Soto is threatened with jail if he gives anyone a feather, because he had two eagle feathers from Afghanistan, and the federal government makes a new rule that killing eagles with wind turbines is just fine, because President Obama is sure that we can support America's energy needs with environmentally friendly (except for birds and bats) wind and natural energy from the sun — that is as soon as they get the problems of the natural intermittence of the wind and those dang clouds worked out.
*The image at the top is what I found when I Googled "Apache Indian headdresses," so I don't know if it is Lipan Apache, or even if it is really Apache at all, but it is extremely handsome. We wish Mr. Soto well.
I found a description, The headdress is Lakota Sioux.

Authorities in Arizona say that Diane Vick – a former mayor of Bullhead City, Ariz. – was hospitalized as a result of a dog attack at the family home on Saturday evening that also killed her husband.
According to USA Today, Vick and her 64-year-old husband Tom Vick, who taught social studies at a local high school, were at the family home Saturday evening just before 6 p.m. when their dogs – identified as a boxer and cocker spaniel – reportedly started fighting with each other.
The couple reportedly attempted to intervene and break up the dogs, but the boxer became agitated and attacked them. Tom Vick died from his injuries Sunday evening and Diane Vick suffered several serious injuries as well, but authorities do not believe her injuries are critical or life-threatening.
"We've had dog bites before but never something like this," says current Bullhead City Mayor Jack Hakim. "It's very sad for us in Bullhead City. She was former mayor and he was a prominent high school teacher at Mohave High School. We're just grateful that at least one of them was able to survive."
Dog Bites & Attacks Involving Boxers
According to dogsbite.org, there were an estimated five reported fatal dog attacks involving boxers throughout the United States between 2005 and 2012. According to a number of dog experts, boxers are not considered overly aggressive in nature but have naturally strong jaws and can become aggressive when they are excited or anxious.
The boxer breed of dogs was developed in Germany in the 19th century and was originally bred for one of two purposes: to participate in dog fighting or to help hunters with larger game such as bison or wild boar. As is the case with pit bulls, the fact that these dogs were bred to attack each other and kill large animals is one of the main reasons that they can be considered so dangerous to people, especially children.
What's so tragic about this particular case is the fact that the man and his wife were brutally attacked by their own family pet. And while that may make this case seem especially devastating, it's not uncommon at all. In fact, dogsbite.org says that 61 percent of all dog attacks happen at the victim's home or a familiar place, and also that 77 percent of dog bites and attacks involve a dog that belongs to the family or a familiar friend.
