"I'm speechless. I really can't describe it. What Radamel is doing is indescribable. He's a lad that whenever you set the bar high, he sets it higher and rises to the occasion. He has dedication above and beyond what is normal."
Diego Simeone is a hard-nosed Argentine better known for the cynicism that got David Beckham sent-off at the 1998 World Cup than for dishing out compliments, so when he issues high praise there's usually a special reason. Radamel Falcao's recent form certainly applies.
The Colombian scored again on Tuesday night as Los Cafeteros edged closer to their first participation at a World Cup in 12 years with a 3-1 win in Chile to back up a resounding 4-0 win over Copa America champions Uruguay on Friday.
Unsurprisingly, the 26-year-old was the catalyst then too as he stroked home the opener within two minutes, prompting one Spanish commentator to exclaim, "A man with such confidence it is simply terrifying."
Simeone's praise came two weeks ago on the back of Falcao's scintillating destruction of Chelsea as Atlético Madrid lifted the European Super Cup. His first-half hat-trick was his second that week, as he had already returned to haunt Athletic Bilbao with three goals in a 4-0 win four days earlier.
His start to the season, tagged onto his finish to the last, mean he has now netted 14 times in his last 15 outings, and yet his 24 league goals last season weren't even enough to merit Atlético a place in this season's Champions League.
So why is a man who has won back-to-back Europa League titles, scoring 33 European goals in the process over the past two years, ready for a tilt at three of of Europe's second tier competitions and not the UEFA Champions League?
It is a question that even many on the red and white half of Madrid find hard to understand. Before the final day of last season when Atleti still had an outside chance of finishing in fourth place, Atleti owner Miguel Ángel Gil admitted: "If the club doesn't obtain qualification for the Champions League it will cause a problem with income. Atlético needs to be in the top four, if we don't enter into the Champions League it is difficult to see Falcao staying."
The answer comes in part because Atleti has relatively little say in when Falcao will eventually move on. To outsiders, the striker's arrival from Porto may have seemed like the usual transfer merry-go-round as Manchester City signed Sergio Agüero and the €40m Atleti received was passed onto Porto.
However, the Agüero transfer money was actually confiscated by the Spanish tax man due to Atleti's considerable outstanding liabilities and instead the Falcao transfer was largely underwritten by the GestiFute fund, an organisation which invests in players with the intention of seeking a greater reward from transfer fees down the line. Those in charge of Gestifute include Falcao's representative, the super-agent Jorge Mendes, and former Chelsea and Manchester United Chief Executive Peter Kenyon.
Had Falcao been solely Atleti's asset, their tenuous financial position would have probably forced a sale in the region of €40-45m this summer. Instead, those who hold the cards can afford to wait a little longer and, if their man continues to perform as he has done in recent weeks, see a possible future windfall rise to the region of €55m plus.
Which raises the next question: at that price, who can afford to buy him?
In England, Manchester United look so over-stocked with strikers that Rooney might not even be guaranteed a game, Chelsea seem determined to put all their eggs in the £50m basket of another former Atlético Madrid striker, and Manchester City appeared strangely startled this past transfer window by the introduction of Uefa's Financial Fair Play regulations.
Paris Saint-Germain already have their towering world class centre forward in Zlatan Ibrahimovic, and although a move to other oil rich destinations further east such as Zenit St. Petersburg or Anzhi Makhachkala can't be entirely ruled out, it is potentially the most controversial move of all that has the Spanish capital a buzz.
Barely had the words of Cristiano Ronaldo's sadness left the Portuguese's lips last weekend when Falcao's father Radamel García told the world, "His dream is to play for Real Madrid.
"Since he was a boy he's always wanted to play there. Other teams in Europe like Chelsea and Manchester City were interested in him. If he can't play for Real Madrid, he'll play for a team in England."
One major hurdle in that potential transfer could be overcome by Falcao's ownership situation. A big factor in Agüero heading to England rather than the Bernabéu was a gentleman's agreement between Atleti and Real Madrid president Florentino Pérez not to raid his city rivals for their best players. That agreement that might not be as big a problem if Pérez were to be solely dealing with Mendez and Kenyon.
Indeed Real has been a popular destination for Mendez clients in recent times: José Mourinho, Ricardo Carvalho Fábio Coentrão, Ángel di María, Pepe, and Ronaldo himself are all part of his portfolio.
Meanwhile Falcao, in his own words, remains focused on success for current club and country.
"Just so the whole world is clear. My dream is to continue winning titles with Atlético Madrid and to qualify for the World Cup with Colombia," he said on Twitter last week.
Thanks to El Tigre, Colombia are well on their way to Brazil, but for more titles in Madrid he may well have to move from the river banks of the Manzanares to the shiny towers of Chamartín.

What do you like most when reading about adventures: descriptions about the terrain, the culture, the challenges, the personal growth, the interactions between other adventures? Women of the Way: Embracing the Camino successfully combines all these elements in a heartfelt and personal recounting of Jane V. Blanchard's 2011 five-hundred mile pilgrimage on the Camino de Santiago—hiking from St-Jean-Pied-de-Port in France over the Pyrenees to Roncesvalles in Spain, and then westward across northern Spain to Santiago de Compostella.
For over a millennium, Christians have made this pilgrimage to the cathedral in Santiago, where the remains of St. James the apostle are entombed. Today, this journey is known as a European Cultural Itinerary, attracting people from around the world. In 2011, more than 183,000 people completed the pilgrimage; 44% of these pilgrims were women.
Though Women of the Way is about Jane's journey on the Camino de Santiago (also known as "The Way") and discussions with women she met on the pilgrimage, this is not a "chic" book. It is about embracing the Camino, the personal changes, and the beauty and appeal of the most popular of all the pilgrimages to Santiago de Compostela, the Camino Francés.

Water pollution
H2O is the most abundant molecule in the living body. Nobody can survive for more than a few days without drinking water. It is one of our basic needs and necessities. Along with that, it is actually the most affected and affecting part of environmental pollution. More than 65% of the world population is using unclean and polluted water. There are many types of water pollution, which has different effects on the surroundings. Water becomes polluted as a result of different processes. If there is only a single source of polluting the water, it is known as point-source-pollution. If there are multiple sources of water pollution, these are called as nonpoint-source- pollution. For example, if an oil tanker is dropped in the water and it is polluting the water than it is point-source pollution, but if there are many sources which are causing the population then it is called nonpoint-source pollution.
There are different events of different types of water pollution. Sometime the pollution affects a small area that is near the water. Nevertheless, sometimes it can affect an area which is miles away from the original source. For example if nuclear waste is being dissolved into a certain water area, it will destroy and damage every living thing which comes in contact with it, even if it's thousands of miles away from the original source point.

Tarvaris Jackson's solid season doesn't erase Seahawks' need for franchise quarterback
Tarvaris Jackson played well this season but the Seahawks still need a quarterback who can win tight games in the fourth quarter.
Seattle Times staff columnist
RENTON — And now we return to your regularly scheduled quarterback angst.
The Seahawks' never-ending (or never-beginning?) pursuit of a franchise quarterback is a tease similar to the meandering television show "The Killing." And, no, that is not a lame joke about getting rid of Tarvaris Jackson.
"The Killing" is a suspenseful crime drama set in Seattle that pompously broke all crime drama rules in its first season. We're still wondering who killed Rosie Larson, but we might be too ticked to care anymore. In "The Quarterback," the Seahawks have been just as, well, slow.
They've needed a young franchise quarterback since 2008. Four years later, they're still inventing plot twists. This offseason, there's a "good is the enemy of great" tone to the chase. The Seahawks have a serviceable 28-year-old starter in Jackson, and he had a career season (3,091 passing yards, 14 touchdowns, 79.2 quarterback rating). It means that, unlike last offseason when Matt Hasselbeck was a free agent and the Seahawks decided to let him go, the franchise doesn't have a desperate need for a quarterback. They could go into next season with Jackson as the starter and be a competitive football team with legitimate playoff aspirations.
But just getting by shouldn't be the goal. The quarterback need isn't desperate, but it remains significant. If the Seahawks want to build a true Super Bowl contender — not just a team that might get lucky if everything goes right — then they need an upgrade.
Jackson's solid performance this season does open some possibilities. The Seahawks don't have to reach for any ol' quarterback in the draft. They could also acquire a raw quarterback that they project to be really good (similar to San Francisco's plan with Colin Kaepernick) because, if need be, Jackson is a suitable placeholder for another season.
The Seahawks just can't fool themselves into believing Jackson is the future. He's a wonderful person with great professionalism and more talent than the average temp. He defied low expectations and became a credible starting NFL quarterback. But the Seahawks lost six games that were close in the fourth quarter, and Jackson started five of those.
His greatest closing moment was running the clock out on the final drive of a 22-17 victory over Baltimore, and that only required handing the ball off to Marshawn Lynch.
Success in the NFL requires a quarterback who makes big throws during crunch time. The way the Seahawks want to play — defense first, pound the run, grind it out — increases the need for a fourth-quarter literate QB. They figure to play more close games than normal.
Seahawks coach Pete Carroll has praised Jackson all season and recently gave him a strong endorsement for next season. Of course, he was going to say that. And Jackson deserves the coach's kind words. He played through a torn pectoral muscle and helped the Seahawks make major progress after a 2-6 start.
Still, though, Carroll has vowed to maintain a competitive atmosphere, and because there's no Tom Brady, Aaron Rodgers or Drew Brees playing quarterback in Seattle, the Seahawks should be seeking more out of the position.
Jackson said he would embrace the competition if the Seahawks acquired a young quarterback. And when asked for areas in which he could get better, Jackson simply responded, "Everywhere."
And what made him most proud about his season?
"Being able to finish the season," Jackson said. "It was kind of rough. Doctors didn't think I could make it through with my pec at first. But I was able to fight through it and sort of prove them wrong. That was big for me, not having to have surgery because I would've missed the rest of the season and much of the offseason. I really didn't want to miss that time."
Jackson did his job. He became a more efficient quarterback, especially after the run game emerged. You don't really have to worry about Jackson losing games.
The Seahawks still don't have a quarterback who can win games regularly, however. And so the pursuit continues. Or maybe, because they haven't made a significant investment in a quarterback yet, the pursuit begins.
Will general manager John Schneider go after Matt Flynn? Or move up in the draft to take Robert Griffin III if he declares? Or make an unpredictable pick in a later round? Or sign Charlie Whitehurst's clone?
It's hard to tell where the Seahawks are in this drama. It's also impossible to ignore the suspense.
This is the best unintentional television show not on the air.

Location Analytics Enriches Insights
The concept of "location" is pervasive in today's data. Think of your corporate data: employees, customers, prospects, partners, real estate, assets – all have an associated geography or location. Adding location visualizations – maps – into your analytics mix can add a whole new dimension to data discovery. Maps provide a common visual language that help us to immediately orient to what the data are telling us. Applying analytics to maps can lead you to richer insights and stronger decisions.
Best-in-Class Location Analytics with TIBCO Spotfire
Location analytics is a core component of TIBCO Spotfire® market-leading visual analytics platform. Spotfire blends visual data discovery and interactive analytics with sophisticated digital mapping, empowering you to intuitively explore your data through a location-based lens and giving you richer insights than ever before.
Plus, with Spotfire, you can generate even more powerful insights and forward-looking analyses by applying predictive analytics to location-based data. Spotfire goes beyond geographical data to support any physical object or layout that you want to map and analyze. It's all within the Spotfire platform, giving you a streamlined workflow for location analytics.
Key Location Analytics Capabilities in TIBCO Spotfire
- Attractive, Multi-Layered Map Visualizations: Quickly create a map customized to fit your unique needs using the built-in library of global geographic maps. Mashup multiple layers of data on a single map and use various markers, shapes, and colors to represent data in the most meaningful way.

- WMS and Esri ArcGIS support: Leverage your proprietary geographic sources and the growing volume of geospatially referenced data available on the web for richer analyses. For example, you could combine insurance claims data with weather data to see a correlation between storms and damage.
- Advanced Location Analytics: Apply advanced predictive and statistical models to location-based data for deeper insights and stronger decisions, for example, route optimization, revenue lift from marketing campaigns.
- Non-Geographic Maps: Create an analytic "map" of any physical object or location that can benefit from spatial analytics, for example, product placement on a store shelf, failure patterns on a silicon wafer, or the operational flow on your warehouse floor.
- Real-Time Data Support: Layer in real-time proprietary or public data, like vehicle engine performance or weather systems, for analytics with up-to-the minute insights and decisions.
- Mobile Location Awareness: Find the current location of an iPad user to incorporate into your mobile analytic applications.
Spotfire supports multiple map layers and allows you to see further details as you zoom-in on your data.
Spotfire marries mapping, visual data discovery, and predictive analytics. The above graphic shows a predictive model applied to underlying data to show which stores are most likely to have a revenue lift given the parameters of a marketing promotion.

Police in Flagstaff say they've broken up a crack cocaine ring. They have arrested four suspects and are searching for a fifth.
Sgt. Tom Boughner says those arrested were the subject of an undercover drug-buy operation by agents with Metro, the Northern Arizona Street Crimes Task Force.
Three men and a woman were jailed, and police are looking for 23-year-old Michelle Munson.
The crack cocaine operation is the second in as many months broken up in Flagstaff.
Officers seized about five ounces of the drug in early March and arrested three people.

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Stormy!
Facts about Stormy
- Breed: German Shepherd Dog Mix
- Color: Red/Golden/Orange/Chestnut
- Age: Adult
- Size: Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
- Sex: Female
Stormy's Info...
I am already spayed, up to date with shots, not good with kids, good with dogs, and not good with cats.
Stormy has a heart breaking story. Stormy was originally owned by a homeless man, who unfortunately was hit by a car and died. He apparenlty loved his girl very much because Stormy is heart worm negative, and she had no fleas. Stormy was found by some wonderful people, who I call Stormy's Angels. They rescued her and brought her to us. Stormy's hair loss is either from stress or food allergy. Her skin is healing, but it still is very sore. She is a very friendly girl, and she doesn't seem to mind other dogs. We are not putting her through any un-needed stress right now. I will tell you that if you meet her, you will love her. She has the most soulful eyes. We are really hoping to find this girl a GREAT home, she deserves it. If you are interested in meeting Stormy, please stop by Groomingdales Bed & Biscuit in Tampa for a meet and greet.
Other Pets at Groomingdales Adoption Center
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Stormy, a Tampa German Shepherd Dog dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a German Shepherd Dog for sale in Tampa, or seeking a German Shepherd Dog dog from a breeder in Tampa.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Tampa already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Tampa breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even German Shepherd Dog breeders who help with German Shepherd Dog rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Tampa paves the way for another one to be saved.

Being total right brain person works for me. I've always been interested in personalities, etc., and feel by understanding one's self (and others)life can be a bit easier......sometimes.
I work for a total left brained boss. He refuses to recognize the differences and tells me, "You can change." (NOT in this lifetime!) My daughter is left and son right. He and I do much better together. It's a black/white world for her. He and I live in various shades of gray. Could it make a difference in relationships? It has in mine. How about you? Wing |
Here is a link that might be useful: Left or Right Brain?
Follow-Up Postings:
Interesting test Wings...I had 18 yes answers and 11 were left side, 7 were right side....I thinks that's because I am a lefty surviving in a right handers world. I shoot a gun and play pool right handed. When I play golf I play righthanded but putt left handed. Baseball, I can play almost equally well with either hand. (slightly better left handed). I once worked for a guy that was left handed and he confounded his right handed employees with his ideas on how to do things. My current employer is right handed and we work in a field where there are definitely some snags to be overcome often...he appreciates my ability to look at things "left handed" because he is only looking at things from one side, whereas I look at it from both. What were your numbers? |
- Posted by jennmonkey (My Page) on Sat, Mar 26, 05 at 21:12
I had 12 right side and 7 left. I figured I was more right brained but I'm glad to have a few left-characteristics. I live in a gray world too! I like it there! |
I like it here too jennmonkey! Mine were 5-L and 10-R. Tinman is a lefty eh? My xdh is too. If I ever tried using his "lefty" things I'd get major frustrated. We right handers take a lot for granted. Wings |

Chandler teenager goes to school drunk
PHOENIX -- Authorities say a 13-year-old student at a Phoenix-area middle school has been taken to a hospital after coming to school drunk.
Phoenix Fire Department crews responded to Kyrene Akimel A-al Middle School in Ahwatukee after a staff member suspected the boy might be intoxicated.
ABC15 News reports principal Mike Deignan sent a letter home to parents explaining that the school called for assistance after a school nurse "noticed a student who appeared to be in need of attention."
Paramedics took the boy to Chandler Regional Hospital.
School officials say the boy's family was notified and was on campus before authorities arrived.
Kyrene School District spokeswoman Nancy Dudenhoefer says the boy is back home with his parents.
There was no immediate word on any possible punishment he might face.

After three-and-a-half years of ho-hum on this front, there is renewed interest in interest rates: where they are going, how fast, and what we need to do to be prepared, if change is indeed in the wind. A lot of the talk is related to another 'up' that scares us: inflation. Talk of rising interest rates is very good news, since it strongly suggests higher confidence in near-future growth.
International trade will be a key growth driver for the Canadian economy this year and next. However, the distribution of export growth in Canada's provinces is anything but even. Some are leading the charge, while others are steady at the national pace. Others are lagging behind, some quite seriously. What are the key factors influencing the different growth patterns?
Stable is not a word that can be used to describe much in today's economy. A notable exception is the Canadian dollar. The loonie has soared in a reasonably tight range around parity with the U.S. dollar for 3 years now. Although exporters would prefer a lower level, the stability has made activity and cash flows somewhat more predictable. Now, the loonie is losing some loft; what's happening?
Surprise of the year: World oil production is rising more than was forecast. A shock? No, that's what happens when prices spike. What is surprising is that it's occurring right in our backyard -- in the good ol' USA. The bottom line? How quickly we have gone from running out of oil to being awash in the stuff. Maybe the surprise is that we are surprised that history is merely repeating itself!

text: Professor Structural BiologyBiophysics Office: Material Sciences Building Room 311Phone: 256.824.2477Email: email@example.com Lab webpage Research Description Many DNA-binding proteins distort the structure of DNA, often with significant changes in the twist and bend angles of the duplex. Distortions in the binding site and beyond are necessary for DNA packaging, as well as the regulation and expression of many genes of medical relevance. Although about 500 structures of protein-DNA complexes have been determined, our understanding of the interplay between the energetics of binding and distortion is very much in its infancy. This limitation stems from a number of factors, not the least of which is ambiguities derived from protein instability since accurate descriptions of the energetics of binding require data collection over a temperature range that is inaccessible with many complexes. In addition, ideally it should be possible to not only measure distortion, but also manipulate and control it so that the energetics of distortion can be directly related to structural changes. We use a novel approach to this problem by developing and characterizing two model systems that are well-suited for measuring the energetics of DNA binding and distortion. These are obtained from the hyperthermophile Sulfolobus and are similar to proteins with direct biomedical relevance which have proven to be difficult to characterize energetically. The first protein, Sac7d, is a small chromodomain protein similar to the DNA-binding domain of HIV-1 integrase. Sac7d binds to the minor groove of DNA and induces one of the largest known kinks in DNA with intercalation of two amino acid side chains. NMR, fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET), and calorimetry (ITC and DSC) are being used to quantitatively characterize the role of protein residues and DNA sequence in defining the structure of the complex and the energetics of distorting DNA. The second protein, Sso10a, is a dimer of winged helices that is being used to test the generality of the conclusions drawn from Sac7d. This is the the first calorimetric study of DNA binding by a winged helix, a fold important in many human transcription factors. This is a basic research project which will provide a description of the energetics of DNA interactions and distortions that are important in many disease-related protein-DNA complexes. The results will enhance our ability to rationally control protein-DNA binding interactions in pharmacology and therapeutics. Selected Publications Peters, W.B., Edmondson, S.P., and Shriver, J.W.

In an effort to declutter my Twitter feed, I thought I'd do a little clean up. You know, unfollow people that I don't interact with AND aren't following me.
It's nothing personal, clearly we're not tweeting to each other so, why just add to the feed of people I actually AM having conversations with?
My feed's a little packed anyway. Following 1000+ people, not all of whom are people I'm talking to, is kinda stupid. My bad.
So, I used a site to track who isn't following me to help with the whole process. I'm not sorting through 1000+ people by myself! That would be insane. Why do that when a computer program will kick back the names, avatars, and links to their twitter page in a matter of seconds?
There were 400+ people not following me back. Don't get me wrong... I wasn't expecting Anderson Cooper and Jimmy Fallon to actually be following me back! ha ha! There were a few people that I was surprised to see on the list. (Twitter has somehow made me magically unfollow people without my permission before... I'll cut them slack.) Mostly, I just couldn't believe how many people I'd clicked that darn "Follow" button on but, who I couldn't even remember seeing in my feed EVER!
Anyway, I started unfollowing people left and right. I figured that I was "Spring Cleaning" (or rather, Fall Cleaning!) my Twitter following... and that's gotta be a good thing. I threw a couple of tweets out in the process and suddenly found myself in #twitterjail!
I'm no newbie! I've been to #twitterjail plenty of times before... usually during #wineparty. (You get locked out of Twitter for tweeting more than 100/hour... just FYI.) I wasn't tweeting that much this morning. I was mostly just unfollowing people.
Apparently, the Twitter doesn't like that.
Apparently, UNfollowing (at least via the program I used) counts against the hourly usage limit. (I totally didn't know that.)
So, since I'm locked out... and not doing anything else... I figured I'd pass that little tidbit on to you. Don't go unfollowing people during a time that you actually want to tweet. You'll end up in the slammer!
If you wanna follow me on The Twitter, you can find me @MamaRiceCake where I'll be happily tweeting away without a care once I bust out of The Big House!

Artist chosen for the 2013-2014 Duck Stamp
… a much coveted "prize."
Robert Steiner, an artist from San Francisco, CA, is the winner of the 2012 Federal Duck Stamp Art Contest, which determines the design for the 2013-2014 stamp.
The announcement was made today (Oct. 4) by U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Deputy Director Rowan Gould at Weber State University in Ogden, Utah.
Steiner's acrylic painting of a common goldeneye will be made into the 2013-2014 Federal Duck Stamp, which will go on sale in late June 2013.
According to the CT Department of Energy and Environmental Protection (DEEP), on Sept 29, a panel of 5 judges reviewed 192 waterfowl art submissions and chose Steiner's work.
Federal Duck Stamps are not valid for postage.
Originally created in 1934 as federal licenses required for hunting migratory waterfowl, Federal Duck Stamps have a much larger purpose today.
Federal Duck Stamps are a vital tool for wetland conservation; 98 cents out of every dollar generated by the sale of Federal Duck Stamps goes directly to purchase or lease wetland habitat for protection in the National Wildlife Refuge System (http://www.fws.gov/refuges )
Since 1934, sales of Federal Duck Stamps have generated more than $750 million, which has been used to purchase or lease more than 6 million acres of wetlands habitat in the United States for protection.
An estimated one-third of the nation's endangered and threatened species find food or shelter in refuges established using Federal Duck Stamp funds.*
People, too, have benefited from the Federal Duck Stamp. Hunters have places to enjoy their sport and other outdoor enthusiasts have places to hike, watch birds, photograph and explore. Moreover, these protected wetlands help purify water supplies, store flood water, reduce soil erosion and sedimentation, and provide spawning areas for fish important to sport and commercial fishermen.
Besides serving as a hunting license and a conservation tool, a current year's Federal Duck Stamp also serves as an entrance pass for national wildlife refuges where admission is charged. Duck Stamps are also popular collector items.
To learn more about the stamps, including when and where to buy them, visit the Federal Duck Stamp web site at http://www.fws.gov/duckstamps/Info/Stamps/stampinfo.htm

Pardon the multiple postings: I didn't phrase my question clearly the first time!
Serious sticker shock at Lowe's this week, looking at their semi-custom vanities. I'm guessing I can do better pricewise with a sideboard or dresser, converted to a vanity. But various posters here have suggested that solid wood is not the best material in a bathroom that gets real use (ie, my kids' main bathroom -- not a guest bath or a powder room). Those of you who've converted antique furniture to bathroom vanities, any regrets? any problems with finishes/lacquers, or with drawers or doors swelling shut when the humidity gets high? Any advice? Thanks in advance! |
Follow-Up Postings:
I am a fan of using old furniture for bathroom vanities in certain cases. I have done it 4 times. No humidity related problems. My master vanity has 2 sinks. I got my sideboard at an auction. I lightly sanded the existing finish on the top and applied 2 coats of polyurethane (satin.) My husband cut the holes for the self-rimming sinks. My plumber dropped in the sinks, caulked around them, and cut the holes in the back that he needed. Simple. - Know yourself. I wipe off the counter every time I wash my face. (I am not otherwise a super careful person.) After 10 years the counter still looks great. Are you prepared to wipe off drips? I suppose if you have a heavy enough coat of poly, drips won't matter, but I wipe anyway. I probably wouldn't attempt this for children or careless teens. - Shop carefully. Get the height that works best for you so that water doesn't run down your arms when you are washing your face. Figure out what type of cabinet functions best for you and wait to find a piece that is best. I like a combination of drawers and doors. (Remember, you will lose the top drawer and possibly more due to the sink. If you can find one that has a slight overhang in back, it will still touch the wall if you have a baseboard. Or you can cut away your baseboard. You don't want a gap between your wall and counter top. I will try to upload some pics later on when I have more time. |

Are you talking about furniture type base with real vanity top (i.e. granite, marble, fake marble, laminate, etc) or are you talking about using the wood furniture top also? Makes a difference. I believe slowgal is talking about using the wooden top. It would make a difference. Several posters on here have repurposed lovely dressers, buffets, etc for vanities, but the ones I have seen have a bathroom vanity top. Even though my old vanity is not a pieces of repurposed furniture, it is still wood and has held up for 25 years. My old cultured marble top is still going strong also. |
It really depends on what you mean by "sticker shock" and, as tuesday_ said, whether you intend to use the wooden top or to replace that top with a more bathroom-friendly top. If you're replacing the top, it's not going to be inexpensive. I wanted the look of what you're talking about but the practicality of a real vanity with real storage. (Keep in mind that you'll like have to modify the drawers, etc. and may lose a lot of storage with a dresser, etc. Buffets/sideboards may be better if they have doors.) Here's what I went with. It was about $1K with a top and sinks and pre-drilled for faucets. But I bashed off the top with a hammer so that I could replace it with a top that I wanted and with the white, squarer sinks I wanted (that cost me an extra $200 for the sinks and $850 for the top/backsplash with installation). (There was nothing wrong with the top that came with it (it was polished, cream-colored, vein-cut travertine), but it didn't match my remodel.) Anyhow, it'll give you an idea of what you can get for the money. It's solid wood, very heavy, and has a ton of storage. It's made by Silkroad Exclusive, and you can get it (and ones like it) on the Internet (including ebay). You may also want to check out Premier Vanities (an online retailer), which has a lot of furniture-base look-alikes. Here's a couple of pictures of what I used that'll also show you how much storage it has: |
KevinMP is right about the practicality of storage that is designed for bathrooms. I would love to have that kind of efficient storage! We were on a very tight budget, however. Sideboard $225 plus sinks from Lowe's that I think I paid $32 a piece for. Here is a pic. I have more to upload but it looks like I will have to do it one post at a time. If there is a way to upload multiple images, please tell me. |

Thanks to all of you: this is very valuable feedback. I hadn't thought about how difficult it might be to find just the right piece, which is a good point. I'd be adding a stone or Corian top (or buying a piece with one installed); I don't trust either my sons or my husband with a wood-top vanity! KevinMP, that is a gorgeous vanity! Thanks for the Silk Road and Premier advice. Slowgal, yours is lovely. Thanks for the pic and the wise words. Tuesday, we are looking at two bathroom renovations; one of them has a 20+ yo vanity which is doing fine, but the one in my kids' bath is slowly going the way of all flesh... otherwise we wouldn't bother! Any more advice or insight? All welcomed! |

Safavieh Malibu Shag Malibu Shag Hand Tufted Rug Silver Rug
Item #: 101MLS431C-P Add to Wishlist
Description: This Safavieh Malibu Shag rug offers modern style with ultimate comfort. High density polyester pile with different shades gives this rug a unique peppered pattern look.
- Collection: Malibu Shag
- Brand: Safavieh
- Material: 100% Polyester
- Weave: Hand Tufted
- Styles: Shag & Flokati Rugs
- Origin: China
- Available in the following sizes: 2' 6" x 4', 3' 6" x 5' 6", 5' x 8', 8' x 10', 8' 6" x 12', 7' x 7' Round, 7' x 7' Square, 2' 3" x 7' and 2' 3" x 9'
When I first opened the run, I was really disappointed. It wasn't anything that I thought it was from the picture. I didn't realize that some of the pieces had little squares which added a little more texture. We still unrolled the rug and layer it out, and realized it was the best mistake ever! We love the rug so much. It is a really good color, not to white to show stains, and not to dark and it is really soft to walk on. It works perfectly in our space.
RECOMMENDED: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.I liked the rug. It matched the floor of my bedroom. I was hoping it would be much thicker but it is soft (could be softer).
RECOMMENDED: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.It was hard to tell what the rug actually looks like from the site photo. It's actually nicer than I expected it to be. It's thick and soft with various colors and types of fibers. The color is a true gray (not blue) and matches the photo well.
RECOMMENDED: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.I love the rug it looks very nice in my kitchen and soft to walk on.
RECOMMENDED: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.This rug is thick and the color was accurate from the website picture.
RECOMMENDED: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.This rug, though a bit darker than I expected, is gorgeous! I've been looking for weeks and weeks for just the right accent rug and none (that I could afford)worked. Buying online felt like a risk because of not being able to see it in person but I was so frustrated by the growing lack of options that I took the chance and know I made the right decision. It's a beautiful rug, the price was right, and the person I spoke to after the rug was delivered (I had a question about how to flatten it) couldn't have been nicer...a real sweetheart! All in all, a very positive experience.
RECOMMENDED: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.Rug arrived very quickly! It's beautiful and very soft; feels great under the feet. So far it hasn't shed. As far as "natural", it pulls more tan/dark beige; a really good neutral color.
RECOMMENDED: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.We received this rug in 5 days. We ordered the natural color and we love it! It actually is a 2 tone color of a beige and cream. It is very soft.
RECOMMENDED: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.Rug arrived in a very timely manor, in great condition. We are happy with the rug, and will order from rugsusa.com again!
RECOMMENDED: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.arrived on schedule in great condition. Slightly darker than anticipated,(thought it would be a creamier color) but it looks good and seems to be wearing well. We are very satisfied with the rug and service and will look forward to our next order with you. Thanks
This is exactly what we were looking for to put in our kitchen. The quality is excellent and we received the rug much sooner than expected. We would not hesitate to order from RUGSUSA again. Great product!
RECOMMENDED: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.Beautiful area rug, but take note that if you order the "silver" color, it's more like white with a little black & grey in it. Will probably get dirty, I think a better choice would be the darker grey if it's in a room that gets alot of use. This picture is NOT the same color as the rug in person.
RECOMMENDED: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.Not quite the color I expected, but quality is good and texture is nice.
RECOMMENDED: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.Love your products. I'll be purchasing more rugs.Outfitting a nes house. Thanks Gloria
RECOMMENDED: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.

HELENA — As Congress edged toward a government shutdown Monday night, U.S. Rep. Steve Daines, R-Mont., said he planned to vote for the latest GOP offers to delay or modify Obamacare in exchange for avoiding the shutdown.
But the delegation's two Democratic U.S. senators said earlier Monday the time for bargaining is over, and the House should allow an up-or-down vote on a "clean" budget bill that extends spending and leaves the health-reform law intact.
"What really needs to happen is that (House) Speaker John Boehner needs to let the House vote on the continuing resolution to keep the government open," Sen. John Tester said on MSNBC on Monday afternoon. "I think the problem might be solved, because they may have the votes."
The positions and words of Montana's politically split delegation closely reflected the budget and policy standoff in Washington on Monday and in the days before.
Daines, a freshman congressman considering a run for the U.S. Senate next year, has voted consistently with House Republicans in their effort to demand a repeal and now a delay of the Affordable Care Act, or Obamacare.
Late Monday, the House voted on a version of the budget bill that would delay Obamacare's mandate that all individuals have or buy health insurance by 2014 and remove federal assistance for congressional employees buying health insurance on the Obamacare exchanges. The Senate quickly rejected that version and sent it back to the House late Monday. A deal couldn't be reached by midnight and the government moved toward a partial shutdown.
Daines also said he felt the Senate and President Barack Obama have been unreasonable in not bargaining with House Republicans over the budget bill, which needed to pass Monday night to avoid a partial government shut-down.
"We're hearing from the voice of Montanans and Americans, saying we want two things: We want to see the government remain open and have Congress act on some of the harmful provisions of Obamacare," he said. "I'm hoping the president and the speaker (of the House) can engage so we can find some common ground to move forward."
U.S. Sen. Max Baucus, D-Mont., said the debate can continue over possible adjustments to Obamacare, but that there's no need to shut down the government or dismantle the legislation to make that happen.
"A shutdown would put more than 12,000 Montanans out of work for no reason," he said. "Instead of putting folks out of work, Congress needs to come together to continue basic services quickly, and get back to doing the work people sent us here to accomplish, like passing a farm
Tester also said there is no support among Democrats nor reason for delaying any other part of Obamacare, which has a roll-out Monday of a major provision — the health insurance "marketplaces" that offer subsidized, private health insurance for the uninsured.
"If there is one mistake that was made with Obamacare, it was that we didn't implement it quick enough," he said. "And there are some folks who want to delay it, and that's very, very unfortunate."
