How To Detail a Steam Shower
[LESS INFO] 0 VIEWS | ADDED 04:58:49 10/19/11
One of the most luxurious bathroom features is a steam shower. However, there are a series of particular construction details that must be executed properly in order to have a functional and long lasting installation. The steam unit generator is a piece of mechanical equipment that is installed by the plumber. It needs to be located within close proximity to the shower itself and must have easy access for cleaning and maintenance. It generates heat, so it needs to be placed in a vented space and also requires a hardwired electrical connection. The shower enclosure itself needs to be finished with a special water proof membrane on all surfaces that is specifically designed to handle the extreme temperature and humidity conditions. Regular shower drywall is not sufficient. A high performance epoxy tile grout is also recommended instead of a standard sand and cement grout. Other important details include ensuring the ceiling of the steam shower is tiled with a slight slope to prevent excessive condensation from building up. Also, the shower glass needs to be installed tight on all sides and sealed with a gasket to prevent the steam from escaping. And finally, any bench or ledge structures must be built out of non-wooden material such as concrete block or styro-foam.

PW171 - Color Splash Studio App Review
[LESS INFO] 142 VIEWS | ADDED 16:22:08 10/07/11
Colour Splash Studio is one of an emerging breed of photography applications that aim to do one task well and that are priced very affordably. Colour Splash Studio is for photographers wanting to make black and white photos with selective colour elements in the style of the movie Pleasantville.
When you first open an image with Colour Splash Studio it'll immediately turn your image black and white. You can now use the brush tool to paint back areas that you want in colour. The brush is edge detecting, which makes the process easier and faster and you've got control over the size, softness and opacity of the brush which combined with zooming the image to full size means it's pretty easy to paint in a good selection quickly. Once you've painted in your selection you can tweak the colour and greyscale areas separately with brightness, contrast and blur controls. Sadly there's no local contrast control but on the colour layer you can also tweak saturation, hue and exposure. I found these sliders a little harsh in their operation - fine tweaks were not at all easy and of course they apply to the whole image so there's no opportunity for tweaking just a portion of the image. There are also no controls for crop or rotation and very few options for getting more creative with colour (cross processing or split toning, for example) or black and white (dodging and burning, for example). I was very pleased to see support for my Wacom tablet. Pressure can be used to control brush size. I would have preferred it to control opacity but this is a good start. I was also very pleased to see standard Photoshop keyboard shortcuts working such as [ and ] for brush size and spacebar for dragging around the image while zoomed in.
It's clear that Colour Splash Studio is trying to do just this one thing well and I can respect that but for an app that concerns itself *only* with turning your image black and white there is one glaring omission - the lack of ability to control the black and white mix. Any photographer that is serious about wanting their image to look just a certain way is going to expect to have much tighter control over the black and white conversion process by being able to dial in brightness values for red, green and blue or at least by choosing from a selection of black and white filter presets.
As it stands right now this is a fine app for one simple task that does an awful lot right. I believe they've gone a little too far with simplifying by not including a black and white mix option and they should look at making fine control of those sliders easier. In a perfect world I'd like to see some dodge and burn options to further improve the black and white control. The quality of the application's results is excellent, however, and if you only want that simplified, limited set of options then Colour Splash Studio might be just the app for you.

Easy Being Green: Odwalla
Part of Sen. Jim DeMint's "Easy Being Green" video series looking at stimulus spending on President Obama's favored green energy projects. TRANSCRIPT: There's been a lot of talk by the president lately about special interest tax breaks -- corporate jets, thoroughbred horses, and other things. What the President is leaving out are the corporate give-aways he's been handing out to his business friends in the Big Green lobby. In his stimulus bill, the President charged the Treasury Department with handing out "grants in-lieu of tax credits." That's a fancy way of saying we're not going to make companies even bother to file a tax return before the US Treasury hands them a check. In the last two years it's handed out over 3000 grants totaling over $7 billion dollars. (www.treasury.gov You've probably heard of the Odwalla Company. They're a juice company that makes healthy drinks. You might have heard of their Chocolate Protein Monster Smoothie. You may not have heard that they've released the Protein Monster on the Federal Treasury to devour $1.47 million in tax dollars. (www.dailyenergyreport.com You see, under President Obama's stimulus plan, Odwalla was able to get the taxpayer to foot its energy expenses. You and I picked up 30% of the cost for a 500 kilowatt energy server. And if you think that Odwalla is just some small company that couldn't afford renewables on their own dime, you'd be mistaken. Odwalla is a wholly owned subsidiary of another mom and pop beverage ... From: SenJimDeMint Views: 1269 19 ratings Time: 01:57 More in News & Politics

Easy Being Green: Iberdrola
Part of Sen. Jim DeMint's "Easy Being Green" video series looking at stimulus spending on President Obama's favored green energy projects. TRANSCRIPT: President has recently called on Congress to pass yet another stimulus bill. Even though the last stimulus added a trillion dollars to our debt and did nothing to slow increasing unemployment, the President's hoping you've forgotten the lessons of the last stimulus and will buy in to another round of economic snake-oil. Let's take a few minutes to look at one of the projects that the last trillion dollar stimulus bought us. In 2010 as part of the failed stimulus, the administration created the Treasury Department's 1603 Renewable Energy Grant Program. This $7 billion program provided $170 million in federal tax dollars to a Spanish company to build a wind farm in Illinois. (www.whitehouse.gov Iberdrola -- the Spanish company building the wind farm -- is investing heavily in the United States, not because renewable energy is economically competitive here, but because the subsidy gravy train still runs freely. They said as much in news reports: www.sustainablebusiness.com And it's not as if Iberdrola can't afford to spend the money itself, in fact, it's one of the largest energy companies in the world. Behind their pretty windmills there are serious consequences. We know exactly what happens -- excessive government spending, and mountains of debt, and temporary jobs that evaporate. We know this not because of some speculative ... From: SenJimDeMint Views: 4310 30 ratings Time: 02:37 More in News & Politics
