Money ceilings

With its varnished wood ceiling, La Bottega, scarred and mirrored and yellow-lighted, is like drinking inside an antiquated jukebox, one in Havana diat no one has the money to replace. 

Steak house tablecloths and monogrammed hotel silver pepper mills dress the tables—a kind of old-money upscale-downscale. Every preppie I ever knew went to 21 on AWOL weekends in New York and tided to get served at the bar. Many succeeded. Many return as tourists with their families. With its toy-festooned ceiling, the 21 Bar Room is a hallowed birthday hall for boys who will become their fathers. 

This book not only deals with major matters, such as laboratory size and location, layout, and utilities. It also includes seemingly minor topics, such as choice of paints and floor coverings, money saving hints for utility hookups, and types of ceiling treatment. 

A laboratory can sometimes save money by building a simple hood where no hazardous, flammable, or corrosive fumes are involved. In one case, a hood was needed solely for drawing off unpleasant fumes from a muffle furnace and water vapor. A carpenter constructed a plywood box which reached from counter top to ceiling and had a large opening in the front. This was painted with a resistant paint, primarily to seal the surfaces and make them easy to clean. An inexpensive fan exhausted the hood to the outside. This simple hood worked for many years. 

I have already found one result of inadequate communication between user and designer. The electrical service channel is not just overhead — it is at ceiling height. I will have to decide whether to recruit graduate students from basketball teams, buy a ladder if there is money left, or have the channels lowered. 

Also up the hiU from town is Villa Santana (340-776-1311 villasantana. com), an estate built with treasury money stolen by a Mexican general in the 1850s. The four main units are each unique in size, layout and character, but all feature kitchenettes, private bathrooms and ceiling fans (no air conditioning). These are priced 85 to 95 in low season ( 125 to 135 high). There s a pool that overlooks the harbor. A handsome two-story unit that sleeps four and an air-conditioned three-bedroom viUa are also available. — David Swanson...

Yes, in The Great Debt Ceiling Debate of 2011, with trillions of dollars in budget cuts talked and tossed about as though we re talking real money, OSHA s fiscal year 2011 budget of 558 million is like throwing a penny in the ocean. 

The second is the relative stability of prices of the manufactured fibers on short-term and even long-term bases, as compared with fluctuations in the prices for the natural fibers where governmentally imposed stability has not been in effect. Data are not presented about it in this text, but in the first half of the twentieth century there was a saying in the textile industry that the person who made or lost money for the company was the one who was responsible for buying cotton and wool futures. However, it should also be emphasized that list prices of manufactured fibers are ceiling prices and do not reflect the short-term discounts, allowances, and special arrangements that are given in a free marketplace when the demand for any manufactured fiber softens.
