Help! Too much energy, I can't sleep!
A friend of mine who's been eating almost all raw for the last month shared a recent challenge he's been experiencing:
"Dhru, I've had such an abundance of energy recently (through the raw food), that I'm having trouble going to sleep! I end up laying in bed for one to two hours just sitting around. Any thoughts or techniques that you've found that work? Have you, or anyone you've known, been through similar issues?"
In fact I have had this issue. From my experience it doesn't last too long. It stopped for me once my body adjusted to the new found energy it had. After that, I just needed less overall sleep.
While it was adjusting though, here's a few techniques that worked for me:
- Fall asleep to meditation CD's or audio books: I like Steven Halpern's sleep CD's and Eckhart Tolle's audio books.
- Massage yourself to sleep: Take some raw coconut oil and start with your feet, take your time and work your way up your body to your head. This is a great way to get present to your body and any areas of stored energy or pain it may have. Even if you aren't having sleep problems I would still recommend this technique. Watch out though, oil can get a bit messy if you're actually sitting on your bed.
- Do Something: Hey, if you have the energy, might as well do something with it! Clean up your room, do some mid-night gardening, start a business on the side! Its a great feeling knowing that you are working while the rest of the community is sleeping.
What's worked for you?

Stone Information and Advice (& Checklists)
posted by: buehl on 04.14.2008 at 02:56 am in Kitchens Forum First off, I want to give a big thank-you to StoneGirl, Kevin, Joshua, Mimi, and others (past and current) on this forum who have given us many words of wisdom concerning stone countertops.
I've tried to compile everything I saved over the past 8 months that I've been on this Forum. Most of it was taken from a write-up by StoneGirl (Natural stone primer/granite 101); other threads and sources were used as well. So...if the experts could review the information I've compiled below and send me comments (here or via email), I will talk to StarPooh about getting this on the FAQ.
In an industry that has no set standards, there are many unscrupulous people trying to palm themselves off as fabricators. There are also a number of people with odd agendas trying to spread ill rumors about natural stone and propagate some very confusing and contradictory information. This is my small attempt at shedding a little light on the subject. Slab Selection: On the selection of the actual stone slabs - When you go to the slab yard to choose slabs for your kitchen, there are a few things you need to take note of:
Tests (especially for Absolute Black) (using a sample of YOUR slab):
You can ask your fabricator to put a seam at a certain location and most likely he will oblige, but if he disagrees with you, it is not (always) out of spite or laziness. Check on your fabricator's seams by going to actual kitchens he has installed. Do not trust what you see in a showroom as sole testament to your fabricator's ability to do seams. With modern glues and seaming methods, a seam could successfully be put anywhere in an installation without compromising the strength or integrity of the stone. If a seam is done well, there is - in theory - no "wrong" location for it. A reputable fabricator will also try to keep the number of seams in any installation to a minimum. It is not acceptable, for instance to have a seam in each corner, or at each point where the counter changes direction, like on an angled peninsula. Long or unusually large pieces are often done if they can fit in the constraints of a slab. Slabs as a rule of thumb will average at about 110"x65". There are bigger slabs and quite often smaller ones too. Check with the fabricator or the slab yard. They will be more than happy to tell you the different sizes of slabs they have available. Note, though, that the larger the slabs, the smaller the selection of possible colors. Slab sizes would depend in part on the capabilities of the quarry, integrity of the material or the capabilities of the machinery at the finishing plant. We have had slabs as wide as 75" and as long as 130" before, but those are monsters and not always readily available.

RE: Basement Lighting Advice Needed (Follow-Up #9)
posted by: davidr on 01.30.2011 at 03:44 pm in Lighting Forum Be careful - brightness isn't the same thing as light output.
For example, a typical high output LED is EXTREMELY bright, so bright you can't look at it. But if you try to light up the room with it, the results will be kind of mediocre. A 20 watt compact fluorescent screw-in retrofit will appear dimmer, easier to stare at, but it will do a much better job of lighting up the room. An F32T8 (32 watt, 4', T8 linear fluorescent lamp) will be easier still to look at, but it will light up the room still better. Brightness is great for traffic lights and auto taillights, so you can see them through fog. But when you want to light up a room, it's not brightness you care about, it's luminous flux. That's what lights up your work area. That's measured in lumens. And a 32 watt linear fluorescent has a LOT more lumens of output than the typical retrofit LED or CF. Of course, it's bigger, too. For example, a 20 watt CF will produce 1000-1400 lumens (depending on brand and design). A "32 watt" linear T8 fluorescent will produce 2800-3100 lumens (depending on similar factors). However, I put quotation marks around "32 watt" because the T8 isn't actually using 32 watts. A little clarification on fluorescent lamp power usage and output might help here. This is probably WAY more than you really want to know, but here goes. A standard F32T8 lamp is rated 32 watts. However, there's an important difference between incandescent lamps and fluorescent lamps. The wattage used by an incandescent (at a given line voltage) is purely a matter of its design. At 120 volts, a 40 watt bulb will use almost exactly 40 watts. This isn't so with fluorescents. Both the lamp design and the ballast used affect how much power the lamp uses (and consequently how much light it produces). The interesting part of this is what we call the ballast factor. BF typically varies from .70 to 1.15. A F32T8 (32 watt, 4' T8 tubular or linear lamp) lamp operated on a .70BF ballast will use about 22.5 watts. The same lamp operated on a 1.15BF ballast will use almost 37 watts. That's quite a difference. You'd think that a "standard" or "normal" ballast would have a 1.0BF, but nooooo. Standard ballasts are usually around .88BF, so your usual "32 watt" T8 actually will use about 28 watts. Fluorescent lamps are rated for the number of lumens they'll produce with a standard ballast. A typical cheap F32T8 will produce 2800-2900 lumens, while a more expensive high output F32T8 will produce 3000-3100 lumens. (The better lamp will usually last longer, too.) If you do the math you'll see that this is an efficiency (efficacy) of 100 to 110 lumens per watt. This is quite a bit better than the screw-in retrofit CFs I mentioned above, which run 50-70 lumens per watt. (And, incidentally, also quite a bit better than any currently available LED fixture or retrofit that I'm aware of.) So to come to the point - unless you special-order fluorescent fixtures with high or low ballast factor, normal ballast factor is most likely what you'll get. Thus, each of your 2-lamp fixtures will probably use about 56 watts (not 68 watts). Also, they will produce more lumens per watt of electricity than either screw-in compact fluorescents or T12 linear fluorescents. You also mentioned CFs and their claims of incandescent equivalence. This is kind of a sore point, because early CFs (15 years ago or so) were notorious for overstating this. Fortunately they're more conservative today. A good rule of thumb is that a retrofit CF will produce about as much light as an incandescent with 4 times its rated wattage. For example, you mention a CF claiming "13 watts = a 60W incandescent," which isn't too far off. A standard 1000 hour 60 watt incandescent produces about 850 lumens (a shorter-lived one will produce more lumens, a long-life one less). When I look around at 13 watt CFs, I see lumen outputs from 760 to 900 lumens. Whew, this was long. Sorry! Did I help at all? NOTES: <none>

My Cabinet Touchup Process for Minor Nicks and Flaws
posted by: lmalm53 on 11.19.2008 at 04:34 am in Kitchens Forum I was asked by nomorebluekitchen to write up something about my process for touching up my old cabinets and to include some before and after pictures. Let me preface this by saying emphatically that I am NOT a refinisher and really have just been using trial and error to find something that works on minor nicks and water damage on the cabinet finish. In fact I would still like to know if there isn't some kind of final finish or wax that I should be applying to help keep my touchups protected from future moisture. But at least the touchups I did almost 6 months ago still look like new.
Please be aware that I have used this process only on natural solid wood cabinets that have been stained, not painted. This may not work on laminate surfaces or composite woods. If anyone out there has more experience with this type of repair, please add your input also. This is the process I used. First off, my 19 year old dark cherry cabinets were in need of a good cleaning. I have read some negative posts about using any kind of oil soap on cabinets, but I have had no problems using Murphy's Oil soap for cleaning up greasy spots. I just dilute a small amount of the soap in a pail of warm water and using a soft microfiber cloth I clean up the cabinets. If I have any tough dried on gunk, I gently clean it off using a piece of 0000 fine steel wool. After drying with a soft cloth I then like to put a little Orange Glo furniture cleaner and polish on a clean white cloth and further clean and polish up the wood finish. At this point I carefully inspect for signs of wear, worn finish or nicks in the wood. You will be surprised how much you thought was damage turns out to have just been dirt or specks that easily clean off. Be sure to open up all the drawers and cabinet doors where there is often damage to the finish just inside the doors. I use my Minwax Stain Marker pen which matches my cabinet color perfectly. (I use 225 red mahogany) Using the stain pen I just start filling in the damaged spots. Sort of like filling in the lines in a coloring book. :) I apply the stain generously, wipe up any excess with a paper towel and then let it sit for awhile. You could probably let it sit for a few hours or overnight, but I get impatient and tend to move from one cabinet to another with the cleanup and touchup process then work back to the first cabinet again to check the stain and see if I need to apply a little more. Once I am satisfied that I have done my best touching up any damage, I then like to get another clean soft microfiber cloth to buff up the cabinet faces. Some of the stain will come off on your cloth, but in most cases the areas of damaged finish will have absorbed enough stain to improve the cosmetic look greatly. If you need to reapply some stain in especially large damaged areas, I would let the stain sit longer before you buff it out. Now this is where I am probably missing a step, because it seems logically there should be some kind of finish coat or preservative put on the cabinets to keep them protected. But I have not added anything yet after buffing out the stain. Since most of my cabinet finish was in good shape I couldn't see the need to apply any all over sealer, but I guess a real refinisher would use something to seal the damaged areas. I am hoping my stain doesn't all come off the next time I deep clean the cabinets! So...buyer beware!... but I was asked to explain how I do it so this is it. Here are some pics if it helps to see the types of damage that can be greatly improved without going to a lot of expense and trouble. Here are the touchup supplies I use:
And here are some before and after pictures: Small Cabinet Drawer Face Before Touchup
Cabinet Center Panel Before Touchup
After Touchup of Center Panel only
Whole Cabinet after Hardware Removed and Before Touchup
After Touchup and New Hardware installed
I will say that there are some types of damage that this process cannot repair. I have yet to figure out what I will do with my laundry room cabinet that has had so much water damage that the finish has turned a milky white in places. I suspect in that case I may need to strip the old finish down to the raw wood, restain and reseal completely. That will be a project I will tackle after I have done some more research! But for now here is my updated kitchen. I saved a lot by keeping the 19 year old cabinets and by touching them up myself, instead of having them professionally refaced or refinished. Only time will tell how long my process holds up, but at this point I feel it was worth it! Most of my guests think the cabinets are brand new.
Hope this is helpful to someone. I am sure there are others who can improve on my methods, so please add your comments. NOTES: <none>

RE: What size ? How many Knobs and Pulls on each drawer? (Follow-Up #10)
posted by: buehl on 10.06.2011 at 02:09 am in Kitchens Forum Most of this is personal choice/preference. There are no hard and fast rules.
Do you like the look of two pulls/drawer on wider drawers? If so, you could get all one size and put one on drawers less than, say, 30" and two on any 30" or wider. You usually do not have to worry about pulling a drawer unevenly with two pulls. As long has you have good quality drawer hardware, you shouldn't have any problems. We put knobs on doors and our 6" pullouts and pulls on all other pullouts and all drawers. In our case, we put one on drawers < 30" and two on drawers >= 30". I think the 2-pull look looks more like fine furniture, and I happen to like the look. If I had it to do over, I think I might have put two pulls on the 27" drawers... As to the 6" pullouts, our pulls (5") were too wide to fit horizontally and I don't like the look of vertical pulls, so we went with knobs. We store heavy pots & pans and heavy glass dishes in many of the two-pull drawers. I usually use just one hand/pull to open drawers and have not yet hand any issues. If you prefer one pull/drawer, then most will look fine on the drawer widths you listed; none are that wide. I suggest picking a medium-sized pull and just using the same size. You can drive yourself crazy scouring the net and stores looking for the same pull in various sizes. Whatever you choose, I suggest only purchasing two or three of them and them mocking them up on your drawers to see (1) which look you prefer, (2) how you want to place them, and (3) whether they fit your hands and/or fingers (i.e., comfort). We ended up with two different manufacturers for our knobs & pulls (both birdcage in antique iron) b/c the knobs in one (Dec Har) fit our hands better (the stem was a little longer) and the pulls in the other (Siro) had nicer curves. Bottom line....what looks are you drawn to? That will tell you how you should place your hardware. As to our pulls, we centered them on the drawers fronts, except the trash pullout. The pull on the trash pullout is on the frame. Some pics of drawers of similar size to yours: 33", two pulls per drawer (18" trash pullout to the right) NOTES: <none>

RE: Support brackets for granite overhang? (Follow-Up #10)
posted by: stacywomble on 11.07.2011 at 10:59 pm in Kitchens Forum Hopefully this will help future readers looking for answers. The post by Buehl is all over the conditions of needing support as recommended by the MIA (Marble Institute of America).
This is for "Single-Level" counters with cantilever overhang: For 3cm stone: any overhang over 10" will need additional support; spaced every 36" or less. For 2cm stone: any overhang over 6" will need additional support; spaced every 24" or less. For "single-level", the goal is to support the cantilever. We do this with CONCEALED SUPPORT. Single-level concealed supports use the mass of the supported material to "reach out" and support the un-supported material. "Raised Bar" support is of a completely different breed. Unlike "single-level" support, "raised bar" supports support the whole darn top. (Gosh, I need to write an article explaining all of this stuff!) There is a rule called the "2/3rds Rule" which says that in dealing with overhang, that 1/3rds overhang much be supported by 2/3rds of the width of the overhang. (Example: a 36" wide counter should have 24"(2/3rds) of support (cabinetry) with 12"(1/3rds) overhang.) Raised bars blow this rule out of the water so we have to look at it differently. ALL RAISED BAR COUNTERS NEED SUPPORT! We use "SB" support to support raised bar overhang up to 12" and "SBS" supports to support anything over 12" and up to 18" overhang. We Do Not recommend overhang over 18" on either "single-level" or "raised bar" counters. Let me address Rodding. The process of grooving the bottom of the material and epoxying in steel rod is an acceptable practice in suring up weak areas of material (such as in front of and behind sink or cooktop cut-outs or even fissure veins) but is NEVER an acceptable method of supporting cantilever overhang (I know this is going to ruffle feathers of some fabricators) but let me repeat "NEVER". The fact is that, as a method of overhang support, it actually weakens overhanging material. You will not find this recommended by the MIA as an acceptable overhang support method. Here is a link that might be useful: The Amastin Company- Concealed Overhang Support NOTES: <none>

RE: What was your best bathroom remodeling decision? (Follow-Up #44)
posted by: dmlove on 06.12.2007 at 01:34 pm in Bathrooms Forum Bumping this up (because I never responded :)):
Best decisions: 1) Thermobalance valves on each shower head (two people shower concurrently most mornings and like different water temperature) 2) Kitchen-height cabinets (although I failed to take into account the height of the sink, so they're about an inch higher than would be ideal) 3) Toto toilets everywhere 4) Large drawers to store clean towels and wide shallow drawer to store daily use items. I keep them in two baskets which can be easily removed and replaced. 5) Adding a beautiful frameless shower door (had an open shower for 20 years before) 6) Shampoo shelf (we got the idea from a hotel shower) Bad/less bad/unnecessary: 1) Seat in shower - used only as a place to prop up a leg. 2) Body sprays - used infrequently 3) Keeping the old full-wall mirror (still going to change it, but it has kept us from "finishing" for a almost a year now). 4) Should have done heated floors (even though this is California, tile floors are cold, period) Worst decision: Not putting the plug for the hairdryer inside the top drawer. Mariainny, I don't know if this is what home_nw was referring to, but here's a picture of our shampoo shelf. We have no glass except for the angled door, so you can't see the shelf from elsewhere in the bathroom. NOTES: <none>

RE: What can you tell me about Blanco Silgranit Sinks (pics pleas (Follow-Up #7)
posted by: sleepydrj on 01.15.2008 at 02:26 pm in Kitchens Forum Sarschlos-
We are happy to advise you here! I'm not sure what your contractor is thinking about when advising cast iron over fire clay or other materials with respect to chipping! So the first point is this: new cast iron is much more prone to chipping than alternatives! the new environmental laws have changed the enamel finish process and now these chip. You may likely end up with chips in a new iron undermount, and you will certainly have scratches. Can't speak for fireclay on chipping etc, but it has homogeneous color so it wouldn't be as ugly. So welcome to the world of silgranit and others like it. I love my silgranit biscuit colored sink. It appears to be quite chip resistant, but if it did, the color is homogeneous through the whole thing, and there would be no color change. I haven't heard of these scratching, mine has no scratches (5 months old). As for finish, these sinks have a matte finish, they are not shiny. This was a big bonus for me, and it glows next to my soapstone without being glossy. When I was researching these, some people posted they have a plasticky look at first and then it goes away. Not sure how to describe this, but it's true. If you seem to notice that in a display, don't worry, it's not like that in real life. I think the reason is that these are thinner and more lightweight than you'd expect them to be. In the box, it seems less substantial than a really thick fire clay sink. Once it is undermounted, you don't know how thick it is and it seems much more substantial. They are very strong, and the thickness doesn't imply weakness. Along the lines of keeping clean and avoiding those grey lines, you will want a new sink grate with your new sink. I thought it was a luxury indulgence, but now I can't imagine living without one! the pots actually don't touch and drag on the bottom, they are on the ss grate. It looks great, and it allows clean up to be even faster. My sink never seems to look dirty even if it does have dishes in it. There are no stains, no spots. By 5 months, my previous Kohler cast iron sink already had knife scratches galore. By two years of age, it was completely scratched and required more and more scrubbing to keep clean. Hope this helps, NOTES: <none>

RE: Things I would NOT recommend or things I dislike! (Follow-Up #22)
posted by: boxiebabe on 04.27.2008 at 08:33 pm in Kitchens Forum I would NOT recommend:
GE Profile Dishwasher. We got the one with all the bells & whistles. Against my better judgement (hubby wanted to keep everything the same line, I wanted a Kitchen Aid) - I went with the GE. HATE IT! (dislike isn't harsh enough a word for how much I HATE it!) The bottom rack doesn't slide out properly, and the plates won't stay still in it. When I pull out or push in the rack, plates slide all over the place! Plus, for whatever reason - don't even THINK about opening it mid cycle to sneak in another dish. Water EVERYwhere! The cycles also take too long. Even the "Speed Cycle" takes 45 minutes. The one thing that I do like about it, is that is extra tall or something. I can fit really tall stuff in it, and there's a sprayer on the bottom as well as on the top. I was reading about the side by side fridges - I have the GE Profile side by side 36". I actually like it quite a bit. Love that instead of shelves in the freezer, there are slide out drawers. The fridge side is a little larger than the freezer side - it's 20" wide, the freezer is 15". But as far as very large holiday platters go, if they don't fit we have a 2nd (standard) fridge out in the garage. Another thing I dislike - is that I didn't order slide out shelves in the cabinets over the fridge, oven and pantry. Didn't think I'd need them. Regardless, I'll need a stool to get anything out from the back of them, and I'm certain I'll knock the front stuff over doing it. Wish I'd gone ahead and got the slide outs. I have them in EVERY other cabinet! Maybe I can add them on later. NOTES: <none>

Special Note about Adoptable Animals: Links are provided when possible to adoptable animals from each participating organization. Please be aware that groups will only bring a small number of adoptable animals to this event.
Animal Rescue New Orleans (ARNO) is an organization created and dedicated to the rescue and aid of abandoned and homeless animals in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina in Louisiana and Mississippi, including responding to the immediate needs of those animals in need of medical care, or who have been neglected, abused and deprived of love. ARNO promotes the foster, adoption and reunion of pets with caretakers, as well as spaying/neutering of all companion animals. View adoptable animals from ARNO..
Gulf South Golden Retriever Rescue, Inc. (GSGRR) is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization run by a small group of volunteers. We are home based in the Greater New Orleans, LA area, but have volunteers in the Gulf South and Northeast. We take in purebred Golden Retrievers and Golden Retriever mixes from public shelters and accept owner-relinquished Goldens from the Gulf Coastal states (LA, MS, AL, FL). We provide our dogs with veterinary care including spaying or neutering as necessary, evaluate their temperament, and socialize them by having them live with foster families. Then the dogs are matched with loving, carefully selected adoptive homes. We place our dogs in adoptive homes not only in the Gulf South, but in the Northeast as well.
Louisiana Boxer Rescue, located in New Orleans, LA is an all volunteer, non profit, 501C3 organization that provides a safe haven for Boxers surrendered by their owners or that have come to us from an animal shelter. Unlike a shelter, our rescues live with a foster family during their interum for veterinary care, behaviour evaluation and observation that assists us in finding them the best suited permanent homes. Boxers that come to us receive necessary veterinary care, including required vaccinations, spaying/neutering and heartworm treatment. Once care and evaluations are complete, these boxesr are then ready for adoption. View adoptable Boxers from Louisiana Boxer Rescue
PAWS, better known as Plaquemines Animal Welfare Society, is a non profit 501(c)(3), no-kill animal organization located in Belle Chasse, Louisiana. PAWS goals are to provide the local area with a humane facility in order to care for unwanted, abused and abandoned animals until such animals can be placed in suitable adoptive homes. To impress upon all members of the community the fact that the adoption of a companion animal represents a ten to fifteen year commitment; animals are not disposable commodities. Our goal at PAWS is to educate members of the community in what constitutes responsible pet ownership, emphasizing the benefits of the spaying/neutering of animals and providing information in pet care, training and maintenance. View adoptable animals from PAWS.
Founded in 1998 as an auxiliary to the St. Bernard Parish Shelter, Friends of the Animal Shelter of St. Bernard (FOAS) is dedicated to improving conditions at the Shelter, improving the quality of life of sheltered animals, and reducing euthanasia of animals in the Parish by increasing spay and neuter, educating the public, providing basic health care for sick or injured shelter animals, increasing adoptions and reuniting lost animals with their families.

We also have appeared in a paranormal programme called "The Ghost Effect" which should be coming out late 2011.
The team goes into every location using strict protocol and as skeptics unless we find concrete evidence saying otherwise.

When we last checked in with Kool Keith, who joins DJ Spooky on Tuesday, September 14, at the Fox Theatre, he was appearing on this year's independently released First Come, First Served in the guise of Dr. Doom, a loony serial killer with a taste for cannibalism. But even though the former Keith Thornton gives every indication on the disc of being an acid casualty, he's actually capable of something as calculated as a career move -- which helps explain why Black Elvis/Lost in Space, his first disc for a major label since his Dr. Octagon project went up in flames, plays down both the body-parts purée of the good doc and the freaky-ass sexual deviancy spotlighted in the indie Sex Styles project. That doesn't mean, though, that the album feels overtly commercial; Keith is too flat-out peculiar for that. Rather, it's a quasi-accessible introduction to a fella who gets stranger and stranger the more time you spend with him.
The album splits neatly into two halves, with the first thrusting the listener into "Lost in Space," a hip-hop variation on sci-fi P-Funk. "Intro [267K aiff]," which Keith kindly kicks off with the words, "This is the intro," is a fine stage-setter: Against a deliberate backdrop spiced with ethereal/dippy "Theme From Star Trek" warbling, he asks a series of comically portentous questions ("Why are you making those mean faces in your videos with the fish-lens effects?") before being confronted by the "Official Haters," who describe themselves as "the most salt-shaking, behind-your-back-speaking, record-criticizing, cock-blocking, in-the-club-costume-jewelry-wearing, valet-parked-Lexus-renting, undercover, starstruck, no-game-having, fake-Versace-shirt-wearing, motel-hell-living, false-Muslim-being, jungle-fever-having, pork-eating demon people." Afterwards, Our Hero struts his way through mock-futuristic soundscapes such as "Rockets on the Battlefield," "Livin' Astro," " Master of the Game" (featuring the late Roger Troutman) and "I'm Seein' Robots" before wrapping up in a wave of "Static." But instead of providing the tale with a proper conclusion, this scattershot ditty, in which Keith duets with Sadat X, merely shakes its tailfeather a few times before giving way to " Black Elvis," about a fabulously successful rock star with a taste for "Maxi Curls," "Fine Girls" and a kid's playground his real estate agent is building him "in Denver, Colorado."
Unsurprisingly, neither "Space" nor "Elvis" sports a legitimate narrative. The Kool one's idea of structuring a story involves tossing related ideas against the wall in the hope that they stick -- and fortunately, plenty of them do. When, on "Keith Turbo," he delivers the warning, "Don't step to me at the food court at the municipal airport," it's likely even he doesn't know what the hell he's talking about, but that doesn't make the tune any less enjoyable. Even when his beats are somewhat less than inspired, his quicksilver personality, straight-faced humor and casual surrealism keep the weird times rolling.
Black Elvis/Lost in Space doesn't make a lick of sense. And that's okay by me. -- Michael Roberts
Joe Gallant and Illuminati
It's hard to predict how tens of thousands of Deadheads still grieving over the loss of Jerry Garcia will receive a brash new take on "Terrapin Station," conceived by New York jazz arranger and sound designer Joe Gallant. The better question concerns the capacity of the Dead's seminal 1977 album to withstand a major deconstruction and subsequent reinvention.
No problem. Employing his seventeen-piece jazz ensemble, Illuminati, two dozen assorted singers and, at times, enough additional instrumentalists to make the musicians' union very happy, Gallant turns "Terrapin Station" upside down and inside out on a grand scale. The musical miracle is that he also pays homage to and continually reveals the sense and beauty of the original. It's no mean trick. Gallant's eight-part "Terrapin Station Suite," which constitutes the heart of the new CD, uses everything from lush string voicings to surreal electronica to big-band bebop to minimalist blue-grass twang in the service of rebuilding the house of Jerry.
"You're back in Terrapin -- for good or ill again," a voice intones darkly. Rock-ribbed cultists may claim it's for ill; listeners with ears are likely to be intrigued.
On either side of the suite Gallant and company provide, among other items, a thrilling essay on " Dancin' in the Streets," which sets out in R&B territory and winds up amid full-throated orchestral experiment, and a radical version of the Garcia/Hunter anthem " China Doll," full of storming electronic effects and doom-laden multi-rhythmic percussion.
Purists may carp, but the bold strokes by which "Terrapin" defies musical categories and obliterates borders would likely please Jerry Garcia to no end. -- Bill Gallo
Belle and Sebastian
Belle and Sebastian's latest release could be considered a high school yearbook photo of sorts -- you only wish yours looked so good. Recorded in 1996 while songwriter, vocalist and reluctant frontman Stuart Murdoch and the gang were mere cardigan-clad lads and lassies studying at Glasgow's Stow College, the album was created to complete a music business class practicum. But as a prequel to the band's subsequent releases, If You're Feeling Sinister and last year's The Boy With the Arab Strab, Tigermilk is an adolescent snapshot that holds up remarkably well.

It is never of any use to oneself." Oscar Wilde

This is a long-term commitment for us. Waste should be avoided, especially when the use of living organisms are involved. We offer a reliable sources for quality recycled softwoods and hardwoods. We strivefor a better way of doing business: ethically, efficiently and environmentally.
Something else to keep in mind...
Also, when selecting your order, we will select the very best that we have at the time of your order. This includes choosing the lengths and widths best suited to your project. Remember that you will nearly always incur some wastage, and some woods are prone to defects; but to avoid unnecessary waste, communication is so very important. We need to know your needs and expectations...in return, we will contact you prior to shipping and advise your of our concerns, if any. As an alternative, you are always welcome to come in and select your own material.
Remember wood is unique...no two pieces are the same...and therein lies the beauty!

Richard S. (Rick) Kimball and Christine T. Rafal, Ed.D.
Gather the Spirit is an eight-session, multigenerational program that teaches stewardship with a focus on water. Stewardship can take many forms: donating money to our congregations and to causes we care about; volunteering to teach, to lead or to physically maintain our congregations; helping to meet the needs of others and protecting our shared resources in our local and global communities. Perhaps, today, there is no more compelling focus for our stewardship than the clean, drinkable water all life on Earth requires. Through a lens both scientific and religious, using activities a wide range of ages can do together, this program addresses the importance of water, the inequity of access to clean water, and actions we can take as Unitarian Universalist stewards. It asks: Can water sources be owned? Why is clean water scarce in parts of the world? If clean water is abundant where I live, what difference does it make if I conserve it? What can I do to promote global water equity?
You can download this program, save it on your computer, edit it, and print it. Or, you can download individual sessions or workshops.
For more information contact web @ uua.org.
This work is made possible by the generosity of individual donors and congregations. Please consider making a donation today.

The current treatment of choice for surgical treatment of obstructive sleep apnoea (reduction of airflow at the nose and mouth during sleep) in children is adenotonsillectomy (the removal of the adenoids and tonsils), due to its perceived efficacy, cost effectiveness and the relative size of adenoid and tonsil tissue in children. There is a lack of strong evidence to support the use of adenotonsillectomy in children with sleep apnoea, although there are some data to indicate that a procedure which removes part of the tonsils (temperature controlled radiofrequency tonsillectomy and adenoidectomy) leads to quicker return to normal diet in the post-surgery phase than complete tonsillectomy and adenoidectomy. There is some debate as to the diagnosis of obstructive sleep apnoea in children and further research would need to undertake extensive diagnostic tests to make an appropriate diagnosis.

Towards the end of nineties, the production range was expanded and the leading position in the regional market of soft drinks was ensured. Investments into equipment for the production of PET containers for own purposes account for a significant impulse to further growth. Continuing modernization and increase in the scope of production was followed by the conquest of the new markets, accompanied by significant investments into sales. In April 2006, a company BAHUS doo Paraćin was established as a legal successor of the independent workshop BAHUS.

Re: It's impossible to cheat at woodworking
We distinguish ourselves, and apes, as higher order creatures by (among other things) the ability to create and use tools.
Creating a jig is no different than the creation of the screwdriver, hammer, chisel, etc etc etc. Using a jig is no more cheating than is using a ladder to clean your gutters, or a ruler to draw a straight line.
Re: Blade brake inventor aims to compete with SawStop
I see a lot of shortcomings with this device that the sawstop doesn't have:
Auxiliary miter fences
crosscut sleds
tenoning jigs
box join jigs
any jig with a high fence component.
SawStop doesn't suffer from any of those issues since the sensor is via the blade and not a cumbersome hood device (that seems to also be obscuring vision from the front).
It's a nice entry level safety device, but it's not up to what sawstop can do.
Re: Blade brake inventor aims to compete with SawStop
@WaltB - I'm pretty sure the reason the actual finger tests are done slowly is because even with Saw Stop, injury can occur. If you activate your saw stop system it's still going to hurt like hell, and it's NOT a GUARANTEE against injury. I'm pretty sure that no one's going to want to slap his hand down on a spinning blade.
If you don't like the inventor demos, just look up all the "saves". Those people were all using it normally.

Coast Guard Radioman
RADIOMAN 1/c, U. S. COAST GUARD
Benjamin Autrell Bottoms was born on November 1, 1913, at Cumming, Georgia.
He grew up in farm country near Marietta, Georgia, where he graduated from Marietta High School in 1931.
Bottoms enlisted in the U. S. Coast Guard on October 13, 1932, and took his boot training at the Receiving Unit, New London, Conn.
During 1933, he served with the Destroyer Force that the Coast Guard then operated in an all-out suppression of
smuggling -- the "Rum War" of the prohibition era. The destroyers he was assigned to were the HERNDON, which operated out of Boston,
Massachusetts, and the CONYNGHAM, based at Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
In December 1933, he was transferred to the Communications Division at the Coast Guard Depot (Yard), Curtis Bay,
Maryland, where he became interested in radio operating. From June 1937 to October 1935, he was assigned alternately to the Cutter OSSIPEE and the Cutter GUTHRTE, both stationed at Portland,
Maine. Following further instructions at Ft. Trumbull Training Station, New London,
Connecticut, he served as Radioman 3/c in the cutters THETIS, OSSIPEE again, and the HARRIET LANE out of ports along the Massachusetts coast.
From June 1937 to October 1938, he was attached to the Cutter CARRABASSET at Curtis Bay,
following which he returned to the Cutter HARRIET LANE at Gloucester. After a brief period
of training with the Boston Division, he was assigned to the Coast Guard Air Station at Salem,
Massachusetts, in October 1939. During the period June to November of 1941 he was stationed temporarily on board the Cutter NORTHLAND as preparations were being made for the cutter to take on an aircraft.
He then returned to the Salem Air Station for a brief time.
Early in 1942 he rejoined the Cutter NORTHLAND to serve as Radioman 1/c of the J2F-4 Grumman amphibious plane that the vessel carried on the war-time Greenland
Patrol. Before long Bottoms died a hero while on a dangerous rescue mission in that plane.
On November 28, 1942 as the Cutter NORTHLAND drifted in Comanche Bay, a radio message notified the commanding officer that the position of the U.S. Army
B-17 Flying Fortress that had crashed into the Ice Cap near the West Coast of Greenland had been ascertained.
Bottoms eagerly volunteered to accompany the daring, enthusiastic pilot [LT
John A. Pritchard] of the ships plane on the hazardous rescue flight. Though no one ever before had successfully landed a plane on the ice cap, the two men were confident that the rescue could be accomplished.
At 1020, November 28, the Grumman J2F-4 (USCG No. 16140) was lowered over the side of the NORTHLAND into the water and took off to rescue the Army air crew.
Bottoms was at the radio while LT John A. Pritchard piloted the plane.
Picking up weak radio signals from the bomber, Bottoms was able to give the pilot accurate bearings
on the wrecked B-17. After flying for about 30 minutes over the desolate wasteland, the pilot sighted the wreck, circled over the Army airmen, dropped a package of medicine, and signaled he was going to land.
Regardless of the warning signals not to try to land with wheels down, the pilot set the plane down on the 2,000-ft. high Ice Cap.
The wheels of the plane sank into the snow up to the pontoons.
Since the pilot could not get closer than within four miles of the wreck, Pritchard undertook the hazardous journey alone on foot while Bottoms kept contact with the ship to notify the skipper of their operations.
After reaching the wrecked B-17, the pilot informed the Army fliers that his plane could only carry two of them at a time.
Two injured men who could walk with some assistance were selected. With the aid of a third Army airman, the pilot brought the injured men back to his plane.
Bottoms helped LT Pritchard and the third Army airman turn the plane around for a takeoff.
Remembering the difficulty of landing with wheels down, LT Pritchard decided to take off from the ice using the planes pontoons.
The wheels were forced up and LT Pritchard, with Bottoms and the two injured airmen, took off in the late afternoon.
After careening, sliding, and bumping over the ice hummocks, the plane soared safely into the air and back to the Cutter NORTHLAND.
The following day, November 29, Bottoms volunteered again along with LT Pritchard to resume rescue operations for the remaining Army fliers.
As on the previous day they reached the stranded fliers, took one on board and after a successful take-off started for the ship.
Soon thereafter the plane encountered a heavy snow storm and crashed on the ice cap.
Bottoms last radio message to the ship was that they had a successful takeoff and that he needed weather reports.
After the storm subsided, search parties from a nearby Army base and from the ship were organized to search for the lost
J2F. A bomber sighted and identified the plane which was partly buried in the
snow . One rescue party pushed over the ice cap to within six miles of the wrecked Grumman but was unable to reach it.
The bodies of Radioman Bottoms, LT Pritchard, and the injured airman who survived the crashed
B-17 were never recovered.
RM 1/c Bottoms was 29 years old, 5-ft. 10 in. tall, weighed 150 lbs., and had 10 years of service when he was declared missing in action as of November 29,
1942. He was declared presumed dead a year later on November 30, 1943. For his part in that daring rescues Bottoms was awarded the
DISTINGUISHED FLYING CROSS posthumously.
RM 1/c Bottoms was survived by his wife, Mrs. Olga Bernice Bottoms who was living at their home
[in] Salem. They had been married on October 10, 1937. Olga was the daughter of fisherman Henry Rogers and Adelaide M. Arvilla Rogers of Gloucester,
Bottoms also was survived by his mother, Mrs. Nassie [Nassau] America Bottoms, who when notified of her sons
death was living in Atlanta, Georgia. Later correspondence with the Coast Guard revealed her address as Anniston, Alabama.
According to personnel records, Bottoms mentioned one sister, Nancy Janell Bottoms, who was living with her mother in
1940. His father, Mr. A. J. Bottoms was not living [incorrect, see
Prepared - FEB. 1971 - EAS
According to Bob Bowden, son of Bottoms sister Nancy, Radioman Bottoms and Nancy were twins. Bottoms was also survived by his father, Andrew Jackson Bottoms, who lived until the mid-1970s, and a younger sister, Eleanor.

Book Catalog
SMOKING LOVELY by Willie Perdomo
ISBN: 1-892494-61-2 (paperback)–$12.00 (US) / $18.00 (CAN). A new expanded edition of Willie Perdomo's classic award-winning book + CD. Includes new poems not in the original collection and a larger size.
WINNER of the 2004 Beyond Margins Award from PEN American Center.
New York Public Library's Books for the Teen Age 2004 List.
"Like a dose of Jim Carroll's Basketball Diaries, and a Billie Holiday song with a Miguel Pinero chaser, Willie Perdomo's long awaited follow-up to his powerful debut is a sizzling cocktail of drug addiction, love, recovery, and truth. The familiar Lexington Avenue of East Harlem continues to be his Yoknapatawpha but the world has become his lab in this collection of serious prose and gunfire verse. These poems find room to depict the change in urban scenery, the de-romanticization of withdrawal, a homeless man's spin on empowerment zones, the global humor of a drug run and the reflective clarity of a train ride. As the poet declares in "Lexington Avenue Prelude," "This is the face-to-face appointment with the Department of Human Resources/That you can't miss even if you tried." Poet Willie Perdomo's latest book, "Smoking Lovely," makes Latin Manhattan's neighborhoods sparkle like a Fourth of July night sky. With muscular slanguage that's funny and surreal, Perdomo explores love and struggle. He makes readers stop uptown and visit the forgotten –like the character Kriptonite, a thug to some, but in Perdomo's poem, a man who has been in love and in trouble. A Nuyorican Pablo Neruda, Perdomo finds a love poem's pulse and takes it. From "French Roast's" syncopated sensuality to "Seesaw's" hard knocks –"I go up in smoke and come down in a nod"– Perdomo makes a connection between getting high and getting hurt."– David Mills, NY POST, Oct 10, 2003.
WILLIE PERDOMO is the author of Smoking Lovely (Rattapallax Press, 2003), Where a Nickel Costs a Dime (Norton, 1996) and Postcards of El Barrio (Isla Negra Press, 2002). His work has been included in several anthologies includingMetropolis Found (Crown Books, 2003), The Harlem Reader (Three Rivers Press, 2003), Poems of New York (Everyman's Library/Knopf, 2002), Bum Rush the Page: A Def Poetry Jam (Three Rivers Press, 2002). His work has also appeared in The New York Times Magazine, Bomb, Russell Simmons' One World Magazine and Pen America: A Journal for Writers and Readers. He is the author of a Visiting Langston, a Coretta Scott King Honor Book for Children, illustrated by Bryan Collier (Henry Holt/Books for Young Readers, 2002) and has been featured on several PBS documentaries including Words in Your Face and The United States of Poetry as well as HBO's Def Poetry Jam and BET's Hughes' Dream Harlem. Perdomo was the recipient of a NYFA Poetry Fellowship 2001.
LOST DAYS by Stephanos Papadopoulos
ISBN: 1-892494-33-7 (paperback)– $12.95 / ISBN: 1-892494-34-5 (clothbound)– $24.95 / LCCN: 00-104014. Book and CD.
"These poems of place–Greece, America, Paris, St. Lucia, UK– depend on the poet's capacity for the vignette, the snapshot, the swift conjuring of mood. These poems, particularly the Greek ones, reveal an intent and faithful eye and effortless fluency. The Greek ones in particular because they are small windows into a bigger, darker historic canvas. The radiance of panoramic Greece provides the backdrop to places maimed and scarred and to the small anecdotes of the fragile heroes contained within it. In the St. Lucia poems, behind the brief conjuring of a place and its ethos as a visitor one hears the more powerful voice of Derek Walcott, powerful because deeply rooted there (as in the Greek poems here). Nevertheless the intensity of observation, the fluency and a psychological stance that captures an emptiness behind the watching makes this collection an impressive dedication to the chosen places and people." –Judy Gahagan, Ambit Magazine.
STEPHANOS PAPADOPOULOS was born in North Carolina and raised in Paris and Athens. Educated in the US and Edinburgh, he holds a degree in classical archaeology from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. His poetry has been published in major periodicals on both sides of the Atlantic, and attracted the attention of Nobel Laureate, Derek Walcott, who invited him to attend the Rat Island Foundation's first program on St. Lucia. His second book of poetry,Hotel-Dieu, was published Sheep Meadow Press, 2009.
ENGLISH by Jeet Thayil
ISBN: 1-892494-59-0 (paperback)– $12.00 / LCCN: 2003096867. Co-published with Penguin Books India. Book and CD.
"English deserves attention and could be one of the better books you will read this year." – American Book Review
"Jeet Thayil's work is, quite simply, the genuine article. I shake, vigorously, his hand." – Thomas Lux
JEET THAYIL is the author of English (Penguin/Rattapallax 2004). He was born in India and educated in Hong Kong, New York, and Mumbai. In 1998 he returned to New York where he received an MFA from Sarah Lawrence College. His poems have appeared in Stand, Verse, Fulcrum, 7 Carmine, Agenda, and London Magazine. He lives in Mumbai where he works as an editor and writer.
CICADA by Mark Nickels
ISBN: 1-892494-22-1 (paperback)– $12.95 / LCCN: 00-104014. Book and CD.
"In most ways Cicada is an astounding book, nearly a new species of poetry. Often the poems poach gracefully in the territory of the novel. I was poignantly taken by the astute fluidity of the language, the facility of looking at ordinary things in a radical new way. This book should be widely read because it announces the arrival of a poet who has a good shot at being major." – Jim Harrison, Author of Legends of the Fall.
"It's pretty obvious that (Nickels) has developed (his) own voice, which can take a while, the tumbling rhythms and adjectives. The music of Cicada is penetrating and distinct." — Evan S. Connell, Author of Son of the Morning Star
TRANSCRIPTIONS OF DAYLIGHT by Michael T. Young
ISBN: 1-892494-24-8 (paperback)– $12.95 / LCCN: 00-190957. Book and CD.
"Michael T. Young's exquisitely crafted poems celebrate durable materials like glass, metal, and stone. Yet there is a pervasive aching awareness of human transience, frailty, and love underlying his elegant surfaces. A rich and accomplished debut." –Rachel Hadas
MICHAEL T. YOUNG's work has appeared in Pivot, The Hollins Critic, Folio, The Christian Science Monitor, and many others. His chapbook, Because the Wind Has Questions, was published in 1997 by Somers Rock Press. He was a semi-finalist for the "Discovery"/The Nation contest in 1992 and also received honorable mention for the Catalina Paez and Seamus McManus Award which is given by Hunter College and sponsored by The Academy of American Poets.Transcriptions of Daylight was nominated for a 2001 Pushcart Prize. In 2005, he received the Chaffin Poetry Award and recently a fellowship from the New Jersey State Council on the Arts.
EMILY XYZ SONG BOOK by Emily XYZ
ISBN: 1-892494-64-7 (paperback)–$13.00 (US) / $15.00 (CAN). LCCN: 2004094405. Book and CD.
Present at the creation of performance poetry, Emily XYZ acquired a cult following with her live gigs, punk stylings and recordings for indie-rock labels through the '80s and '90s, lighting up the stage at the now-famed Nuyorican Poets Cafe. Despite her relative prominence (including appearances on television and in high-profile anthologies), XYZ has produced no previous book: she may have felt, and her fans might have agreed, that her performance style, vocal delivery and musical accompaniment contribute as much to her work as the words themselves. This breakthrough volume collects 13 of XYZ's texts, each scored for two simultaneous speakers, along with notes on their composition and performance. "I think of them more as something to be heard than read," XYZ writes in her introduction, and indeed the texts can fall flat on the page; they are saved, though, by the wonderful accompanying CD, in which XYZ's own readings-along with Virgil Moorefield's compulsively catchy electronic musical settings-demonstrate her real powers for all to hear. Several works rely on insistently repeated phrases, reducing the voice almost to a percussion instrument; others imply a traumatic early life or promulgate an inspiring, sometimes sarcastic feminist politics. — Publisher's Weekly, Jan. 2005
A SMALL SONG CALLED ASH FROM THE FIRE by Ron Price
ISBN: 1-892494-31-0 (paperback)– $12.95 / LCCN: 2001116177. Book and CD.
"What rises in flames falls / As ash, and what never burns / Turns the heart to stone…." While lyricism ultimately may not be transcendent here, stoicism is a more grievous fate. And it's the contention between what rises in flames and what turns to stone that so powerfully drives these poems. It's our great good fortune that the daunting places and undaunted presences possessing this poet so vividly inhabit his poetry – from Cobb's Lake to the anonymous hand that scrawled on a Memphis wall "I done broke / life & death / down." I like this work, I've liked it since the first time I saw it, I'm going to enjoy and admire it for years to come." -– William Pitt Root, author of Trace Elements from a Recurring Kingdom
RON PRICE grew up in Memphis, Tennessee, and currently lives in New York City, where he is Poet in Residence at the Juilliard School. His poems have appeared in various magazines and anthologies, including The American Poetry Review, Poetry, and New Rain: Our Fathers, Ourselves. He is a past U.S.I.A. Visiting Poet in Belgium, and the recipient of a Pennsylvania Council on the Arts Fellowship. He is the author of Surviving Brothers, a chapbook, and the recording, A Crucible for the Left Hand.
I WANT YOUR CHAIR by Elaine Schwager
ISBN: 1-892494-08-6 (paperback)– $14.95 / ISBN: 1-892494-18-3 (clothbound)– $24.95 / LCCN: 99-069799. Book and CD.
"There are poems here that are the best I've read of anybody in a long time. The poems are strong always in the poet's own language, with no cliches. The forms they take seem natural and right. There is a range of emotion from pensive to defiant and funny." – Louis Simpson
ELAINE SCHWAGER is a poet, practicing psychoanalyst and screenwriter, living in New York City. She has had poems in Rattapallax, Literal Latte, Writ (Toronto), The World (St. Mark's Poetry Project), Armadillo, Promethean, Gaia and many other literary publications.

HE DREAMS OF WATERS by Bill Kushner
ISBN: 1-892494-26-4 (paperback)– $12.95 / LCCN: 00-190958. Book and CD.
"Here, an omniscient auteur is arranging the energies of the poems to create a composite picture. This book is not chronological, it's phenomenological. It's a carefully constructed canvas, a study in universal consciousness filtered through Kushner's specifics." –Poetry Project Newsletter
BILL KUSHNER has been a 1999 and a 2006 Fellow of the New York Foundation For the Arts. His books include Night Fishing (1980), Head (1986), Love Uncut (1990), He Dreams of Waters (2000), That April (2000) and most recently,In the Hairy Arms of Whitman.
INSIGHTS INTO SYRIAN CINEMA by Rashi Salti (Editor)
ISBN: 1892494701 (paperback)– $12.95
The first book in English on a little known cinema from a key part of the Middle East. This timely collection offers critical essays and historical overview of film production in Syria, as well as brings together words and texts from several of Syria's most critically acclaimed and internationally celebrated masters of cinema, including Nabil el-Maleh, Samir Zikra, Omar Amiralay, Mohammad Malas, Abdellatif Abdul-Hamid and Oussama Mohammad. In their own words, the filmmakers offer candid commentary and compelling insights into their relationship with their craft and their struggle to make films in a developing country under single-party rule, where civil freedoms have been held captive to emergency laws for over three decades. This collection offers a rare glimpse at how they managed the remarkable feat of creating an intransigently independent cinema in spite of near impossible conditions. Co-published with ArteEast.

Hi everyone, I am a long time lurker and this is my first time posting and am looking for some advise. I am looking to buy this antique sideboard but am unsure of what I should pay for it. The owner is taking offers and told me it was her grandmother's. She also told me that she thinks it is from the 1920's. I love antiques but don't know too much about their value, so if you can weigh in with thoughts that would be appreciated. Thanks |
Follow-Up Postings:
Sorry but I can't seem to post a picture, any help? please |
Alright, I joined photobucket and added it, let's see if it works |
Here is a link that might be useful: antique side board
I know nothing about pricing these things, but I suspect it's worth very little since it'd take a huge amount of effort to make it presentable. Looks like the finish is gone. It might be worth the time to fix up because it was a really good looking piece, but I sure wouldn't pay much for it like that (unless there's more to it than I can tell from the picture!). Is it as rough in person as it looks in the photo? |
what it's worth depends on the condition....and it's hard to tell under all that dirt and dust if the top is in good shape or would have to be refinished or even worse. re veneered. If it's in good shape and would only been a little sprucing up to be good, I would think that $250 is not too much...if it has pieces of veneer missing, I wouldn't pay more than $25...if that, and plan on painting it...if it needs a completely new finish...maybe $100. Remember....you are buying wholesale from the owner....he/she shouldn't expect to get what she might get from a shop. Linda C |
- Posted by sheilajoyce (My Page) on Fri, Mar 26, 10 at 13:55
The center drawers look like they don't fit properly. Has she cleaned the center drawers, or are they a different wood? The veneer on the top looks like it might be broken off. I don't know anything about such prices, but $25 would be more than enough in my opinion. Actually, she ought to give it to you if you will haul it off. |
It's not just about the condition. It also matters whether it's a very unusual piece, and from my perusings of our Craigslist around here, sideboards like this are relatively common. Here are two comparable listings from a local dealer. As Linda says, if you're buying privately, you'd expect to pay less. Plus, this is in Canadian dollars. KarinL http://vancouver.en.craigslist.ca/van/fud/1628871380.html |
Here is a link that might be useful: One vintage buffet
Well it does need to be stripped and refinished, which I can do myself. It is a solid wood piece not a veneer. The top is bare wood, the finish is dry and mostly worn away. It has never been refinished. |
In that era (or maybe somewhat later) they sometimes veneered over solid wood. The old teachers' desks, for example, and a lot of traditional furniture are made that way. You would see from one edge that the construction is laminated-together strips of wood, but from the top it looks like one solid board. It may indeed be built of solid wood though, in which case you will, however, find joints in the wood. I'd seriously doubt this was built of really one board - what would those tops require, 18 inch wide wood? In real antiques you'll find that, but this is not that old or that special. The final factor determining the price it what it's worth to you, including what your idea is of the final product, what that will be worth, what it will take to get it there, and whether you actually need such a piece. If you desperately want it, then you pay a price to secure it regardless of its market value. If you're willing to walk away, you offer on the low side and let her see if she can get a better offer. I wouldn't be surprised to see this in the free listings either if someone was in a hurry to get rid of it. But I could also imagine paying maybe $100 if it were something I totally and completely loved. Cruise antique and used stores in your area to get a better idea. It could, by the way, also be painted. This doesn't strike me as wood that it would be a sin to cover up. KarinL |
Thanks for the info. It is nicer in person than in the photos, but still needs quite a bit of work. I have decided to continue looking until I find a piece that hopefully doesn't need as much work. |
If the veneer is all there and there is nothing broken....that will clean up very easily and quickly using Formby's Restora Finish or by cleaning with acetone and alcohol mixture and rubbing with an oil finish....like minwax antique oil finish. If it fits your space....offer $50 and see what happens. Removing old original finish from 1920 is nothing like the work of removing paint that a thoughtless person has slapped on. Linda C |

By Traci Chapman
Tobacco use comes in more than one form, each as dangerous as the last, says Canadian County tobacco prevention coordinator Jenny Kellbach.
And that's what a new message offered by the county's tobacco coalition is all about.
"Through with Chew Week" focuses on chewing tobacco, thought – wrongly – by many people to be less dangerous than cigarettes, Kellbach said. Beginning Feb. 17, Kellbach and other members of the Canadian County against Tobacco Coalition hope to bring that point home, coalition members said.
"Smokeless tobacco may not receive the same kind of attention that smoking cigarettes does, but that should not detract from the fact that it's a harmful product that leads to nicotine addiction and causes cancer," CCaT member Dr. Bill Sharp said. "Calling it 'cherry' or 'spice' or 'wintergreen' only disguises the carcinogens like arsenic and formaldehyde that are inserted into the tobacco during the fermenting and aging process."
Partnering with three local dentists – Drs. Monte Carel in Mustang, Courtney Housley in Yukon and Douglas Durst in Piedmont – CCaT members hope to reach out to the estimated 130,000 smokeless tobacco users across the state. The message? That smokeless tobacco is no better than cigarettes, Carel said.
"If you really want to know the effects of smokeless tobacco products, ask your dentist," he said. "I know about the pre-cancerous lesions, gum disease and disfigurement or death from oral cancer.
"In fact, The American Cancer Society reports that an estimated 80 percent of oral cancer is caused by tobacco use," Carel said.
Tobacco chew users can call the Oklahoma Tobacco Helpline at 1-800-QUIT-NOW (1-800-784-8669) for help during the Great American Spit Out, set for Feb. 21. Part of the overall prevention and awareness week, the one-day event focuses on helping users take the first step in stopping tobacco use, Kellbach said.
"Even if we can get people to just stop for one day, it's a start, and that's where the Great American Spit Out comes in," she said.
