The Shade Store's Zach Gibbs on window treatments | Home Front

Great question! I'd have to start with probably the most exciting thing that's happened in window treatments in quite a while- and thats motorization! With a touch of a button you can control your entire home- so why not window treatments? Whats most exciting (at least for TSS) is a new system that we developed that is a battery motor (meaning you don't have to rip open your walls/get an electrician involved), its quiet, it can handle enormous sizes , the batteries are re chargeable (you're not changing out AA batteries every few weeks) and last but not least, its affordable! We wanted to offer a motor system for all product categories that is completely user friendly ...its quite impressive- be sure to check it out! Aside from that- as we say- simple always sells. Whites/beiges/grays are what we sell the most here at TSS..this approach allows one to add the accents through furniture, paint, carpeting, accessories...However, we're seeing our patterns lately have a t...

CNN.com - Transcripts

THIS IS A RUSH TRANSCRIPT. THIS COPY MAY NOT BE IN ITS FINAL FORM AND MAY BE UPDATED. THIS IS A RUSH TRANSCRIPT. THIS COPY MAY NOT BE IN ITS FINAL FORM AND MAY BE UPDATED. AARON BROWN, CNN ANCHOR: Good evening again. I'm Aaron Brown. Those of you who get the daily e-mail know I seem to be in a bit of a mood today. I hate that. It's just something about the week. The Middle East is always a tough one. The sides are so passionate and so certain. And this was a difficult week there. But it was more than that. Too many kids are dying. And while I know the statistics and I believe them, our kids are in no greater danger now, the fact is that too many, even if too many is just the average number, are dying. There was Samantha Runnion and today, this child in Missouri, Casey Williamson. There's a story I did in the newsbreak tonight about a kid in Florida who was swimming in a lake and contracted a deadly disease. And then, not far away in another lake, another kid, a different d...

How to get away with murder in small-town India

Gambar
On my last week in India, I went to say goodbye to Jahiruddin Mewati, the chief of a small village where I had made a dozen or so reporting trips. Jahiruddin and I were not precisely friends, but we had spent many hours talking over the years, mostly about local politics. I found him entirely without scruples but candid. He suspected my motives but found me entertaining, in the way that a talking dog might be entertaining, without regard for the particulars of what I said. Jahiruddin, though uneducated, was an adept politician, fresh from winning a hard- fought local election . During our conversations, he would often break into rousing, patriotic speeches about truth and justice, thumping the plastic table in emphasis and making it jump. The effect was somewhat tarnished by his Tourette’s syndrome, which caused him to interject the word “penis” at regular intervals. He was frank about the dirty aspects of his job. He occupied a post reserved for women from lower castes, but no one pre...

It's Project Season... Here's what we've been up to!

Whew, the last 2 weeks have been a crazy whirlwind of hustle and bustle around the Dekker house as we have officially kicked off our 2015 “project season”. It’s a bit earlier than we normally start working on projects, but with a new baby due around the end of June / early July, we felt the need to start early (even though Dave is still in school yet) so we can cross off a few big items before the baby arrives. Here are the projects on our list for this spring/summer: Get a new roof for our house Remove 9 ugly, dying pine trees and have stumps ground out Potentially remove 11 more dying pine trees (later this fall) Finish the last section of our fence (we couldn’t do this until the last line of trees and stumps were removed) Partially gut our upstairs bathroom to replace the standing shower with a tub/shower combo Completely gut our 2nd main floor bathroom for a total renovation (this might have to wait until later in the summer as well) Power wash our house, garage, and extra garag...
