This comes in such a large quantity, I question my need of ever repurchasing it. But overall it is a fantastic product!
I have eczema-prone skin, and I get eczema on my inner-elbows and on my hands!!! Especially after I take a shower my hands get super dry and this really relieves that. I love this thick cream, it doesn't irritate my skin at all.

I've been trying a lot of lotions lately, since my skin has been dry and bothersome. I have dry, eczema prone, sensitive skin, and I live in the desert. I am sensitive to lotions with a lot of fragrance.
This is a thick cream, it spreads best on moist/warm skin. This is way to thick as an all over body cream. I like to use this to spot treat dry patches (and occasionally on my hands and feet ). I find it doesn't sting or burn even dry or chapped skin. It sinks in (after a little bit, and before that it is greasy). I like this better than vaseline/Aquaphor for skincare. For my lips though the Aquaphor is a much better product. I've used this on dry patches on my face without any breakout problems. This will last me a long time since I only need so little at a time, but when I run out I will repurchase, since it seems to heal my skin overnight! This is my favorite product to spot treat any dry or eczema patches. I feel like this is a great healing cream.
BEST USE: Spot treating dry/eczema patches. edit: and makes a wonderful cuticle cream (just need a very small amount!)

Thank you very much everyone! I've been on a search for my HG moisturizer for 4 months now. I waisted a lot of money and tried every drug store brand - Vichy, La Roche Posay, Roc, Bioderma and many more. Gladly I ran over the reviews for this product.
In Europe, where I live, they don't sell this exact product, but I've gotten a lipo-balance intense cream, which is very similar to the original formula (anyone who runs across that name - it's probably the same, or not?) and I LOVE this! It is lightweight but not runny or too liquid, it goes on very smoothly and does not have a strong scent - more like how the old drugstore custom-made creams smelled. You don't really feel it on your skin. The skin is very soft and smooth after it has dried. And there is no awful oily residue (oily shine) afterwards, it sinks in so you don't see that it's there. I found it hard to find a decent cream that leaves your face glowing, not shining for the same price. It goes well under the makeup and doesn't flake (like Bioderma does) and I find it great to blend with foundation for a luminous finish. But it takes a while to absorb, which I really don't like (4 lippies)
The packaging is good, it's in a jar so you can get all the product out, which is good, but the jar is a bit too heavy and I'm always afraid I'll break it if it falls on the bathroom floor. And not too convenient to carry it around.
But on overall it's a great, wonderful product. And is a great value for money. Will be sticking to this one for now.

this is a must for any skin type it moisturizes deeply, does not clump, completely absorbs into skin, and great for healing anywhere on the body. Best used when sleeping

I buy this in the tube because it is easier to use than a tub. I think it is much better than plain Vaseline petroleum jelly. Anywhere where I have cracked, very dry, or chapped skin, this soothes it immediately without stinging, even on broken raw skin. It is a little hard to spread and takes some time to absorb but once it is, my skin is very soft. Even though they are very similar, I prefer the Eucerin Aquaphor Healing Ointment since it's clear and it rubs in a little easier. I will continue to use this up until it is gone.

I agree with most of the other reviews. This is by no means a glamor product; it's thick, greasy, and takes a while to absorb into the skin. It's hard to rub in, too. But when I say that NOTHING else can do for my skin what this cream does, I mean it. My skin has become very sensitive over the past year and dries out easily. This is nearly becoming the only product I can use, and it's also the only one that can fix my dry patches. Put it on thick at night and let it sink in. Before you know it, you'll have perfectly hydrated skin. I love this product, though I wish I didn't need it!

I've literally been using this since birth. I was born with eczema and my parents would put this on me every night for years and years. Now that I'm older and my skin has improved I don't use it daily, but it is my HG after bathing and showering. It can be greasy so I apply it at night to let it soak in and I don't feel sticky or greasy the next morning. It can also be a little tough to rub in, but I'm willing deal with that. I've never strayed from this product to find something better because it works for me! It keeps my skin extremely hydrated for days and I've noticed it improves my keratosis pilaris (hard red bumps) on my thighs and the back of my arms.

I guess I'm in the minority but I wasn't a fan of this creme! It's very moisturizing but also very sticky, so I would probably only use this at night to let it soak in. It's definitely not a slap-on-and-go product like the quick absorbing Eucerin hand and foot creams with the green flip-top caps (love these!)

This is my go-to intense moisturizer. Great for winter chapped hands. I even use it on my chapped lips before bed.
I use it most often to treat scabs from healing blemishes. Just a little dab heals scabby peeling spots almost instantly with no irritation.
This is a little heavy to use as a moisturizer on my oily, blemish-prone face, but I use it often when I'm windburned or sunburned to soothe and reduce peeling.
I work in healthcare and often recommend this for my patient's healing (but not open and bleeding) scabs & scars. I find that it helps heal the scabs properly - moisturizes them so they stay in place until the fresh skin underneath can heal - rather than allowing the scabs to dry up and fall off, which leaves raw fragile skin underneath.
I also recommend that it be used on fairly fresh post-surgical scars to massage and mobilize them, which helps them heal flat, more flexible, and become more aligned with the normal surrounding skin. In my experience, Eucerin cream heals so much better than anything else I've tried.

This is a decent moisturizing cream, but it is WAY too thick and sticky, it's like applying paste. You have to work to rub it in. I much prefer Aquaphor.

What is your Favorite/Smartest thing you did in your Bathroom?
Ready, Set, Go!
What was the best thing you did in your bathroom (remodel) ... smartest, coolest, most functional, best finish/product! Starting a remodel soon and would love some extra ideas!
Here are a couple of old threads to get you started!
Here is a link that might be useful: Best bathroom decisions thread
We added an electrical outlet right next to the toilet. That was the step that enabled us to change over from a regular toilet seat to a "shower" toilet seat (Inax Clessence). We could not have done the latter otherwise, and it has made all the difference.
My favorite bathroom is actually a 3/4 bath on the backside of my house and if your looking for Italian marble, fancy tile, and Hansgrohe fixtures your out of luck here BUT:
Our house has a two car garage about 14ft behind the house and we had a large Mud room/sunporch which connected the house to the garage, with a solid wall on the back adjacent to our laundry room and one door into the garage and another door and windows on the front where if faces the driveway.
Originally our house had two bathrooms, one for the master BR and the 2nd centrally located for the 2nd bedroom and communal areas of the house.
By profession I am a Master Plumber and you folks would not want to know the kind of icky smelly things I get into during my work day, especially when I have been working in a beef or chicken slaughter house for the day.
Across the front of that mudroom I built a low, enclosed parsons bench with a vinyl padded top where I could sit as soon and remove my boots as soon as I came in. The parsons bench has a hinged seat top and a galvanized pan in the bottom so as soon as I take my work boots off I can set them inside the seat, out of sight, and the pan catches any mud, snow or other stuff that might drip or fall off the boots.
I thne built a partition wall from the garage to the house so the mudroom was then about 6' wide, and on the back wall of the mud room I built 4 plywood cubicle type lockers with a shelf on top where I can hang up my coats, hats,hardhat or whatever in one and the other three are available for other ppl and they don't have to worry about their coat hanging against my funky work coat.
Immediately behind that partition wall I built a small 3/4 bath and I put a small closet in the bath, where I keep a couple pair of clean blue jeans and shirts to lounge around the house. The closet is only 4ft high so I built it up high and under that closet space I installed two drawers where we store extra TP, toiletries and all those miscellaneous bottles & cans of modern chemestry that we all keep in the bathroom,
But my absolute BEST feature came as an after thought. While working on the bathroom I realized that the back wall of the bathroom was adjacent to our laundry room. I then cut a 12x18" hole through that wall, framed it nice and installed a flapper door that is hinged from the top like the flapper door on a commercial waste basket and I put a laundry hamper under that door in the laundry room.
I can now come in all funky, hang my outer garments in the cubicle, sit down and pull my boots off, then step in the shower, and put on clean clothes, and just push the funky clothes through the flapper into the laundry instead of carrying that mess through the house.
Now I realize that my silly ideas don't have much snob appeal but it sure helps keep peace in the family.
Lazypup, that is genius. I love it. (But I am an meticulous clean/germ freak!)
In fairness, we have not yet moved into our remodeled house, but the things I am looking forward to or might have done differently:
1. Heat mat on our bathroom floor - Our bathroom is located in the NW corner of the house, and it's all tile. These got a big thumbs up on this site, and although extra $$$, I think it will be worth it.
2. Agree with Herring_Maven, we did the same and installed a Toto that has a washlet.
3. A separate water closet -- We re-did our layout to make this fit. This will make a huge difference as both my husband and I are often in the bathroom together getting ready.
4. Ensuring our vanity depth was at least 22 inches -- This countertop was the only space we have for items, so the depth was important.
5. I splurged on expensive fittings and mosaic tile -- Nice to haves, but I probably would not have spent this money if I were doing this again.
6. Window in shower area -- Up high, so I have no concerns about rot, etc. I think it will be nice to get some extra, natural light in this area.
I love this thread!!
Smartest things:
* Found the right contractor that I could afford and who would accommodate my wacky ideas
* Used Craigslist, eBay and thrift stores for the majority of my finishes
Favorite things:
* Mother of pearl vanity counter top
* Clawfoot tub
* Shelving built into the attic door
* Wrought iron look shower door and cornices
I'm sure there will be more before I'm done so hopefully, this thread will stick around for a while. Can't wait until it's finally finished!!
1. Solid surface shower surround - so easy to clean!
2. Hand shower.
3. Comfort height toilet.
4. Taller vanity.
5. Sheet vinyl floor - so easy to clean (Can you tell I have a thing about cleaning? I have always thought the bathroom should be all concrete and you should be able to douse it in bleach and bring in a fire hose to clean the whole thing!)
Ditto on the comfort height toilets (Toto Soiree's in all three bathrooms), and on the taller vanities--I so missed mine while visiting my parents last week!
Also, adding a shower stall to our ground floor (guest) bathroom. Besides giving guests (my parents when they are visiting) their own place to shower, it was invaluable when we reno'd our upstairs bathrooms (both were out of commission at the same time).
Oasisowner, I love the idea of hosing down the room too! If I could, I would make a room that would work that way. The floor and all walls would be hose proof. The shower would be open to the rest of the room and have a linear drain at the back end. I would have the ability to scrub and hose down from at least several feet above the floor, if not more. I would have a hanging toilet and sink. Are these called wet rooms? I would love the sparse modern look. There could be an adjacent powder room to this wet room where one could put on makeup, dress, dry hair, etc.
I love everything we did in our new bathroom but some of the highlights:
- glass shower surround. Absolutely key to making our small 8x8 bathroom feel much larger
- outlet in the cabinet for charging toothbrush/clarisonic
- raised vanity countertop to 34 inches
- pendants flanking the mirror instead of sconces (I feel like it helps draw your eye up, making the ceiling feel higher and the room bigger.
- Put in a tilting mirror and a hand shower (Kohler Flipside) on a sliding bar because my husband and I are over a foot apart in height so it works great for both of us
- And my absolute FAVORITE thing: The towel warmer. I even like it better than the heated floor.
I'd have to look at what we used, but it was the only one our tile setter said he trusted. It was installed by the tile setter but the electrician makes the final connection so it required some coordination between those two. Ours takes a while to heat up but we have it on a timer thermostat so by the time we're up it's toasty warm. Our cat now sleeps in the bathroom most nights (or at least early in the morning when the floor heat kicks in).
Built-in niches, with shelves sized to accommodate small things like razors, bar of soap, and large enough for that huge bottle of shampoo with a pump.
In teen's bathroom - a shower light that switches on with the fan - so they have no choice but to turn that fan on when they shower. And a 60 min timer on that light/fan combo so it properly vents the bathroom (the timer has buttons for 60, 30, 20 and 10 I believe).
In general - beautiful lights!
gina_w--We used Nu-Heat mats (custom shape/size). Our tile guy likes installing their mats (cloth-like, fabric easy to lay/install), and DH was very impressed with their technical assistance/customer service. Ours are on timers as well, though I keep the temp constant throughout the cooler months; I'm home a lot during the day, and I'm up once or twice at night (!).
Best, too-late for us advice, have TWO sensors installed. You only have to connect one to the timer/switch, but you will have a back-up if the first one ever fails. I don't know how often that happens, but the sensors are cheap enough and better to have it and not need it....simple thing to do.
When that tip was posted here, by stacyneil I think (after we had completed our reno's), DH kicked himself for not thinking of it while ours were being installed.
Ours were installed by our tile guy as well.
1. Wall-mount teak bench that folds down when not in use.
2. Hand-held shower head.
3. Wall-mount lighted magnified make-up mirror.
4. Biscuit 3x6 matte subway tiles in shower. . .simple, timeless, easy on the eyes.
5. No room for water closet, but toilet niche working out fine. Exhaust fan there and also in shower. Moves things out well.
6. Saved $$ by not installing heated floors; just wear bedroom slippers!
1) Radiant heat under floor tiles with timer thermostat.
2) Hot water recirculation system to have instant h/w at sinks and shower
3) Hydronically heated towel racks connected to our hot water heating system.
4) Cast iron stack to eliminate any drain noise
5) Adequate lighting for each task in bathroom
6) LED lights under the suspended vanity for night lighting.
7) Two sinks.
Here is my list -
- Additional blocking in the framing stage to accomodate grab bars, towel bars etc. Additional blocking being the slidebar of the shower also makes it sturdier to use as a grab bar.
- Kerdi board for waterproofing
- Heated wires throughout the floor including the shower area
- Tall niches with shelves sized to fit the costco sized bottles
- Tile that is not too slippery for the floor. Also used epoxy grout to make future maintenance easier.
- frameless shower doors - we did pay a couple hundred dollars extra for the really clear glass
- U-groove frameless
- One of the bathrooms is curbless to accomodate access issues. Has nice looking grab bars and a folding teak shower seat that is ADA rated to 400lbs.
- LED cans (california code)
- Elongated Toto skirted toilets with sanigloss to make the cleaning easier
- the special lutron switches where the fans stay on an extra 20 mins to clear all the steam. we used them with panasonic fans which are much much quieter than what we had in the past
- wall mounted heated towel rods
- hooks instead of towel bars.. I just preferred the more streamlined look of hooks
- plug outlets inside the vanity to charge things.
- wheeled laundry basket with divers to sort laundry has a niche to be tucked in.
- separate toilet stall with a door. We did not do comfort height as we are not overly tall people. Elongated toto toilets with an integrated skirt to make cleaning easier and a GFCI outlet to plug in a washlet.
- paper towel holder from Moen that doubles as a grab bar in the ADA bathroom.
- accomodated for daylight (skylight or a window) in both the bathrooms to help people to wake up in the morning.. I love the daylight.
- radio for listening in the morning. We are big public radio fans
- wall mounted lighted makeup mirror
- mirror defogger to prevent the mirror from getting steamed up..
- vac pan at the floor level that connects to our central vac system to make daily cleanups a breeze. I am picky about hair on the floor
- solid core doors to prevent bathroom noises from being heard outside. I often have to get ready before dawn and the shower noise wakes DH up.
- recirculating pump for our tankless to avoid warm water delays. Ours is integrated into the tankless.
- Hansgrohe ibox to get the thermostatic control to preset the preferred temprature
- Ebbe integrated drain that has a hidden hair snare.
- Handheld shower with a longer hose to make it easier to clean the walls.
- rain shower on a longer arm so that you can stand away from the wall.

Buy or Grow from seed
I am on a limited budget but I'm interested in having several kinds of grasses in my gardens. Do most of you buy them at the garden center? Have any of you grown any from seed?
I haven't bought any grasses. All but one have been grown from seed, most using winter sowing techniques. The one exception is a division of Panicum virgatum 'Shenandoah' which I traded for.
Here's my full list of successfully winter sown grasses:
Anthoxanthum odoratum.. Sweet Vernal Grass
Briza maxima.. Annual Quaking Grass
Briza media.. Quaking Grass
Carex grayi.. Gray's Sedge
Carex muskingumensis.. Palm Sedge
Chasmanthium latifolium.. Northern Sea Oats
Cortaderia selloana.. Pampas Grass
Deschampsia cespitosa.. Tufted Hairgrass
Eragrostis spectabilis.. Purple Love Grass
Festuca gigantea.. Giant Fescue
Festuca glauca.. Blue Fescue
Festuca mairei.. Maire's Fescue
Festuca scoparia.. syn. Festuca gautieri Bearskin Fescue
Hystrix patula.. Bottlebrush Grass
Lagurus ovatus.. Bunny Tails - Annual
Luzula nivea.. Snowy Woodrush
Luzula sylvatica.. Greater Woodrush
Miscanthus sinensis.. 'New Hybrids' Maiden Grass, Eulalia Grass..
Nassella tenuissima.. Mexican Feather Grass
Panicum virgatum.. Switch Grass
Pennisetum alopecuroides.. Fountain Grass
Pennisetum alopecuroides.. 'Moudry' Black Seeded Fountain Grass
Sesleria caerulea.. Blue Moor Grass
Setaria faberi.. Giant Foxtail - Annual
Stipa capillata.. Feather Grass
Tridens flavus.. Purple Top
Note that there are few 'named' cultivars and no variegated or uniquely colored varieties on the list. This is because, in general, one can only grow species, and not cultivars from seed.

Dimitris Lyacos
|Dimitris Lyacos
photo: Katerina Fougiatzi
October 19, 1966
Athens, Greece
|Poet, playwright
|Literary movement
|Postmodern literature
Dimitris Lyacos (Greek: Δημήτρης Λυάκος; born October 19, 1966) is a contemporary Greek poet and playwright.[1] He was born and raised in Athens where he studied Law. From 1988-1991 he lived in Venice, then moved to London, studied philosophy at University College London and stayed there for thirteen years. He is currently based in Berlin.
In 1992, Lyacos set about writing a trilogy under the collective name Poena Damni, referring to the hardest trial the condemned souls in Hell have to endure, i.e. the loss of the vision of God. The trilogy has developed gradually as a work in progress in the course of twenty years. The third part (The First Death) appeared first in Greek (Ο πρώτος θάνατος) and was later translated in English, Spanish and German. The second part under the title "Nyctivoe" was initially published in 2001 in Greek and German and came out in English in 2005. This work has been substituted by a new version (With the people from the bridge) that appeared in 2014.[2] Various artists have brought Lyacos' work in different artistic media. Austrian artist Sylvie Proidl, presented a series of paintings in 2002 in Vienna. In 2004, a sound and sculpture installation by sculptor Fritz Unegg and director Piers Burton-Page as well as a video stemming from Nyctivoe, by Gudrun Bielz were produced. The Myia dance company have performed a contemporary dance version of Nyctivoe in Greece from 2006 to 2009. Dimitris Lyacos is Fellow at the International Writing Program, University of Iowa.[3]
Poena Damni[edit]
The trilogy would appear to belong to a context of tragic poetry and epic drama, albeit distinctly postmodern at the same time. Homer, Aeschylus[4] and Dante[5] as well as the darker aspects of romantic poetry together with symbolism, expressionism, and an intense religious and philosophical interest permeate the work. The first of the three pieces, Z213: Exit (Z213: ΕΞΟΔΟΣ), accounts a man's escape from a guarded city and his journey through dreamlike, sometimes nightmarish, lands;[6] in the second book, With the people from the bridge (Με τους ανθρωπους απο τη γεφυρα) the protagonist of Z213: Exit becomes a first-degree Narrator appearing as one spectator in a makeshift play performed under the arches of a derelict train station. The play recounts in a mulitperspectival narrative a story based on the theme of the revenant through the first-person embedded accounts of four characters: a man possessed by demons attempts to resurrect the body of his lover but ends in joining her in the grave.[7] The action is enveloped in a context reminiscent of a festival for the dead as well as that of a vampire epidemic. The third book, The First Death (Ο Πρώτος Θάνατος) opens with a marooned man on a rocky island and details his struggle for survival as well as the disintegration of his body and the unrolling of its memory banks.[8]
The work is hard to classify since it crosses the usual boundaries of genre.[9] It often takes narrative form, mixing poetry and prose, but moves into dramatic representation of character and situation in With the people from the bridge, as well as a hard lyrical kind of poetry used to depict the break-up and eventual apotheosis of the body in The First Death. The possibilities of difference between the perceived and the objective outside world are exploited; we are watching the irregular flow of internal monologues, events in the external world as being reflected onto the thinking and feeling surfaces of the protagonist's mind. Nevertheless the characters' bodies and the physical context of their lives are presented with impressive solidity. The man escaping from his city into a closely detailed, yet somehow Kafkaesque,[10] world, has the everyday persona of an L.A.private eye in a 40's detective novel along with the intimation of being on the verge of an extraordinary adventure. With the people from the bridge hinges on the story of a character resembling the Gerasene demoniac from St. Mark's gospel, living in a cemetery, tormented by demons, and cutting himself with stones. He enters the tomb of his dead lover attempting to open the coffin in which she seems to lie in a state not affected by decomposition and the urgency of his desire projects life into her body whose passage back to life is described.[11] The grave becomes a "fine and private place" for lovers still capable of embracing. In the opening of The First Death a place is denied to the mutilated body which grinds against the rocks and suffers continuing degradation, physical and mental, as even the mechanisms of memory are dislocated.[12] Yet the bond between person and body that ensures life still persists, and, "at that point without substance/ where the world collides and takes off",[13] the mechanical instincts of the cosmos rumble into action and sling this irreducible substance again into space -prompting, perhaps, a future regeneration.

Idebenone significantly reduced cell proliferation and induced apoptosis in PC-3, CFPAC-1, HT-29, T-84 and Calu-3 cells having CaCCs activities. These data suggest that idebenone, an ANO1/CaCC inhibitor, has potential for use in cancer therapy.
Modern drug discovery and research labs are utilizing complex automation systems to assist inhigh throughput screening of novel drug candidates. A large portion of these laboratories areusing ANSI-SBS-standard 96- and 384-well plates to achieve the necessary throughput. The volumeof sample transferred into and out of these plates can be critical to the success of assays orvalidation of procedures.
Chloroplasts principally encode the photosynthetic machinery in Viridiplantae. It has long been accepted that in photosynthetic plants chloroplast genomic structure is uniquely stable as it is maternally and clonally inherited. The first chloroplast genomes sequenced supported this view. The current study was undertaken to address the potential issue of global chloroplast(in)stability.

The genus Verticillium is a group of ascomycete fungi, including plant-pathogenic species capable of affecting the vasculature of many agricultural crops, and therefore causes major economic losses worldwide. In 2011, a new taxonomic classification of the genus was proposed, which is now referred to as Verticillium sensu stricto, comprising ten species: V. dahliae V. albo-atru, V. alfalfae, V. longisporum, V. nonalfalfae, V. tricorpus, V. zaregamsianum, V. nubilum, V. isaacii and V. klebahnii. <

I know that I can go tools>customise to change some hotkeys, but what I can't do is change all of them, only some. I especially want to change the hotkey for the ruler tool, but can't. Any suggestions?

I rarely rate a 5 but the service I received was phenomenal. The cable tv was great....actual display of what is on...and it allowed quick channel surfing...digital over sat is the way to go. Live tge basketball court and patio. Down sides, rooms are smaller than other homewoods I've stayed at and diamond member internet is really slow.
Thanks for the rare 5 star review! We appreciate your comments, and letting us know about the wi-fi. It is always good to hear what works, but helpful to know where we need to improve. Thanks again and thanks for your loyalty! More
Stayed here with my family while visiting other families in the area. The rooms were very nice and the kitchenette came with all the amenities one would need.

Originally written on Fox Soccer | Last updated 11/19/14
Newcastle owner Mike Ashley has been cleared to buy a stake in Rangers, according to Ibrox chief executive Charles Green. Rangers recently signed a retail agreement with Ashley's Sports Direct firm and the businessman has been looking to secure a separate deal giving him a shareholding in the Scottish Football League club. Green last week launched a ?20million share issue scheme for fans and is also looking to attract institutional investors. Green, whose consortium bought the club's assets and business for ?5.5million when it was consigned to liquidation, told Sky Sports News: "As you know we've been trying to get the position clear where Mike can buy shares in Rangers. "We finally got clearance from the Football League after they had a board meeting recently and the meetings this afternoon were to make sure the path's clear for Mr Ashley to invest. "He's obviously keen to do that and I'm sure that will get completed in the next few days. "I think we've already stated previou...

Antique treadle sewing machine base
I have a metal Singer treadle base minus the top. I would like to make it usable by putting a top on it but am at a loss as to what to use. I considered glass but don't think I'd have any way to attach it and have it not show. I don't want it to be so heavy that I can't move it when I need so that probably leaves out marble, quartz and granite. Unless I can find one with less thickness than countertop material. Anyone have any ideas for me? I know there is always wood but it seems so plain. Thanks
Seeing as how the base has to have opening the proper size not only to accomodate the machine, and that part has to be bevelled in, and also another opening for the belt.......you can understand why wood has always been the choice. Now, I just assumed you meant usable in that you want to install a treadle in it. Do you mean usable just as a table or stand?
In that case anything you like. It has casters on it, doesn't it?
If it's like mine, the casters are cast iron and not too floor friendly. I had one I wanted to use the same way I think you want -- as a table. Mine is all rusted which I like a lot and I wanted it for my porch outside. DH made it a table by using the part cut out of a counter top where the sink goes. It's about the right size, but not nice enough looking for anything but porch use.
I wanted marble until I found how much it would cost! Maybe someday. . .
I had one that I used a piece of butcher block on it. I used for an island in my kitchen (one kitchen had 12" of countertop space; another had absolutely none!) The piece was 24 deep and 36" wide.
After 30 years of hard use, the butcher block cracked (yea, I know .. I should have taken better care of it but by that time, it was plant stand!) So now ... I use it as a small dining table (for 2) in a small gazebo. We found an enameled top from an old kitchen table and put it on it.
And when you look for stone .... go directly to the fabricator and ask to see their mis-cuts and mis-ordered pieces. If you are flexible, you can get pieces extremely cheap. I covered a 36"x48" island in solid surface for $25/ 9' laundry folding area in solid surface for $125 and a 36" vanity in quartz for $100.
My Mom's treadle Singer machine did not need any modification to become a table. One merely lowered the machine below the work surface (to stow it) and the hinged top with flush hinges folded over the top providing a flat, nicely finshed wood top. The top was solid walnut and finished on all sides. It was a piece of furniture when the machine was stowed.
I too have a treadle machine base. I turned it into a sofa table using quarter inch glass. I had a piece cut to the size I wanted and had them polish the edges. I used small rubber adhesive pads under the glass to prevent it from sliding. Worked great.
My mother had a tredle Singer sewing machine. (The machine is still in the family.) The cabinetry is oak.
The small iron wheels do not roll very well and squeek if those have not been lubed. The wheels do not swivel and the small diameter is rough on finished floors. The usual way of moving the machine while turning was to lift one end and move as a wheel barrow. It may rest on all 4 wheels for straight line movement.
You may wish to attach modern, non-marking casters to ease moving it about. Consider locking casters for two of the wheels to keep the table in place.

Wayne Dobson Doesn't Have Your Lost Cellphone
By editor
Good morning, I'm Renee Montagne with a message: Wayne Dobson does not have your cell phone. Many cell phones allow you to track them using GPS if they go missing. But the Las Vegas Review Journal reports that technical glitch has, for two years, directed some Sprint customers, who've lost their phones in Vegas, to the home of Wayne Dobson. Sprint says it's researching the problem. Meanwhile, Dobson has come up with his own low-tech solution, a sign on his door reading: No lost cell phones.

"It's so new we don't have a name for it, so I call it 'mart insurance,'" notes Erik Bleekrode, an Insurance Practice Partner with KPMG in Brazil. He uses the term to refer to insurers in markets like Colombia and Peru who sell small value general or life policies in grocery stores. "It could be an in-store kiosk staffed by an agent or the insurance product may just sit on the grocer's shelf for the customer to help themselves."
For example, Alianza Seguros Colombia has packaged policies in a box or can, like any other consumer good, so a shopper can read the label and add it to their cart. They also sell birthday card policies, promoted as thoughtful gifts for loved ones. The shopper pays just US$2.50 for a greeting card that provides the recipient with a US$1,250 accident policy.
The idea isn't just popping up in developing countries either. In late 2012, US life insurer MetLife Inc. began selling policies at 200 Wal-Mart stores in the southern US. Displayed on store racks in a simple package decorated with MetLife's cartoon 'spokes-beagle' Snoopy, a one-year pre-paid policy with a US$10,000 death benefit has a US$69 price tag.
"This is an interesting way to bring insurance to consumers and make it more tangible and convenient," says Erik, observing that insurers in developing markets like Brazil must find ways to reach and educate emerging middle class families who are often underserved by the financial industry.
Erik cautions that mart insurance could be slow to expand, since insurers may hesitate to sell small ticket policies, which can be hard to price affordably due to unfamiliar risks, high claims and fraud costs, and the need to split commissions with grocer partners.
That said, some insurers might see the potential of mart insurance to build new customer relationships. "They may sell a policy through a grocer mainly as a marketing instrument to increase their brand recognition with consumers they couldn't normally target," suggests Erik. "Then they can also sell larger ticket policies to that customer and turn a retail shopper into a long-term client."
As insurers look for fresh ways to build awareness and trust with consumers, we may soon hear cashiers bellowing over grocery store intercoms, "Price check on P&C policy in aisle five, please!"
Which insurance products are suited to self-serve purchase on a retail shelf?
Could mart insurance be a viable distribution or marketing channel?
How must insurers adapt their administrative and claims processes to manage the service and risk challenges of mass market retailer sales?

Building the future THIS IS CEMEX CEMEX is a leading global producer and marketer of cement and ready-mix concrete products. In a world facing an ever-growing need for housing and infrastructure development, they help to meet this demand by providing quality products and reliable service to their customers and communities across four continents. Founded in Mexico in 1906, they have grown from a small regional player to one of the world's top cement companies. Today they operate cement and related assets in more than 30 countries and employ more than 25,500 people. GLOBALISATION OF CEMEX CEMEX as the name states is a cement factory in Mexico. As, the case goes by we traverse the journey of CEMEX from neo-natal stage to a fully independent, mature and a confident adult. The journey spans across discovering their gray areas, their core competencies, their strategic in-house and out-house area of excellence and the hands that have helped them nurture their dreams. CEMEX, a multinational company the 2nd largest in the US and the 3rd largest in the world is having a capacity to produce 96 million metric tons of cement enough to have transformed CEMEX into a key player in the world cement business. Over its journey spanning 102 years a century to go by CEMEX has now being established globally and has been widely acknowledged in the business circles. The factors that have made the competitive advantage sustainable: continued innovation high level of commitment to customer service and satisfaction proven post merger integrating expertise digital evolution efficient production distribution and delivery process through sophisticated information systems ability to identify high growth marketing opportunities in developing economy HISTORICAL MILESTONE 1906 - 20 CEMEX was founded in 1906 with the opening of the Cementos Hidalgo plant in Mexico. In 1920 Cementos Portland Monterrey initiated operations with 20,000 metric tons of annual production capacity. 1966 - 67 CEMEX grows into a regional player by acquiring Cementos Maya's Merida plant and building new plants in Ciudad Valles and Torreon. 1972 - 73 CEMEX establishes a national presence with the installation of new kilns at its Merida and Monterrey plants and the acquisition of a plant in central Mexico. 1976 CEMEX lists on the Mexican stock exchange and, with the acquisition of Cementos Guadalajara's three plants, becomes Mexico's market leader. 1987 CEMEX acquires Cementos Anáhuac and begins the deployment of a company- wide satellite communications system, CEMEXNet. 1989 With its acquisition of Cementos Tolteca, Mexico's second-largest cement producer, CEMEX becomes one of the ten largest cement companies in the world. 1992 CEMEX acquires and integrates Spain's two largest cement companies. 1994 CEMEX acquires Venezuela's largest cement company, which is ideally positioned for exports. CEMEX expands its U.S. operations by acquiring a cement plant in Texas and enters Panama with the acquisition of Cemento Bayano. 1995 CEMEX acquires Cementos Nacionales in the Dominican Republic. 1996 CEMEX becomes the world's third-largest cement company with the acquisition of Colombia's Cementos Diamante and Samper. 1997 CEMEX acquires a 30% interest in the Philippines' Rizal Cement. 1998 - 99 CEMEX acquires a 25% interest in Indonesia's largest cement producer. It also acquires APO Cement in the Philippines and an additional 40% interest in Rizal. 1999 CEMEX forms CEMEX Asia Holdings, an investment holding company, to develop new partnerships and cement-related businesses in Southeast Asia. CEMEX lists on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) under the ticker symbol "CX." CEMEX consolidates its presence in Central America and the Caribbean by acquiring Costa Rica's largest cement producer. CEMEX acquires Assiut Cement Company, one of Egypt's leading cement producers. 2000 CEMEX begins the construction of a new grinding mill in Bangladesh. Standard & Poor's upgrades CEMEX's credit rating to investment grade. CEMEX becomes North America's largest cement producer with the acquisition and integration of U.S. - based Southdown, Inc. 2001 CEMEX enters the Thai cement market with the acquisition of Saraburi Cement Company. 2002 CEMEX enhances its position in the Caribbean by acquiring Puerto Rican Cement Company. PRESENT SENARIO CEMEX has always had a knack at creatively cracking problems. Just look at their solution when they were hit hard by the crippling Mexican economy in the early 1990s. Out of all places, CEMEX saw an opportunity in poor Mexican neighborhoods. Through careful planning and perfect execution, CEMEX was able to rebuild many of Mexico's poorer neighborhoods while vastly improving their bottom line because they were, of course, using CEMEX products. 1) In addition to building communities in underprivileged areas, CEMEX has become the number one leading manufacturer of cement and the third manufacturer of ready-mix concrete worldwide. They are now operating in over 60 countries and currently producing over 97 million metric tons of cement each year. CEMEX has been able to acquire leading international cement companies, integrating each into the "CEMEX Way." In fact, CEMEX is currently negotiating to acquire Rinker, Australia's leading cement producer that also has a strong presence in America. Last week, the bid rose 22% to 14.2 billion for the company down under. With the American industry holding roughly 23% of CEMEX sales, the company's profitability took a hit when the American housing market dropped by 31% last year. Recent reports indicate a decline in CEMEX net-profits from the first quarter of 2006. $505 million was reported in net profits in the first quarter of last year, as opposed to $400 million in 2007, a 21% decrease. Although the company stated that sales in Mexico and foreign markets rose about 9% during the past year, American sales have fallen 20% during the same period accounting for the decline in net profits. 2) Positive forecasts for the US housing industry expect a return in sales that will hopefully boost CEMEX's revenue and profit. Analysts have already spotted such signs of improvement. Brookings Institution, an independent research organization, stated in predicting future building plans, "In 2030, about half of the buildings in which Americans live, work, and shop will have been built after 2000." 3) Although CEMEX operates in over 60 countries, the building trends, especially in developing countries such as India and China that it is targeting, are just as or even more positive than Brookings" evaluation on America's. CEMEX has found stiff competition in the both the cement and ready mix industries. Their international competitors are the French company Lafarge Group and the Swedish Holcim Ltd. But as an executive officer at the American based U.S Concrete tells us, "Bigger is not always better." He further explained how the local "mom and pop" shops can easily compete in construction materials industries. 4) But because of the management's keen ability to "identify acquisition targets" that give it "enviable positions in some of the world's most attractive markets," 5) CEMEX is in a strong position. And with their continuing acquisitions of major companies such as RMC and, more recently, Rinker, CEMEX does enjoy important strategic advantages that give it a powerful position in the 75 billion dollar cement industry. 6) CEMEX has broken the stereotypical mold in the association between an archaically perceived industry and innovative technology. By integrating a well-defined information system built upon the latest advancements in tech, CEMEX has become a powerful leader in their industry. The man responsible for this redefining business plan is Lorenzo Zambrano. And considering his background in advanced engineering from Stanford University, his emphasis on tech is no surprise. As an excerpt from Wired Magazine observes, "Cement is a commodity business. There's little difference among competing products, so Zambrano focuses on the manufacturing and delivery." To gain an advantage in these processes, Zambrano looked to technology. His first step to introduce the previously separate industries dealt with the company's widely distributed cement plants. He implemented a system called CEMEX net, which now serves as the company's private communications network. 7) The system made it easier for the concrete and ready-mix plants to easily communicate supply and demand information to or from a central office. The next stage of Zambrano's technological makeover revolutionized the most daunting stage of the industry, delivery. This leg of the value chain is the cause of many problems because concrete is a perishable good (90 minutes). 8) A pain free delivery becomes difficult when this time limit is combined with unpredictable weather, traffic jams, and changing customer orders. Zambrano took this industry inefficiency and introduced technology called Dynamic Synchronization of Operations and revolutionized the process along the way. By equipping each delivery truck with a GPS system and an accompanying computer, the central dispatcher can adjust to or guide drivers around obstacles. This has shaved hours off the ambiguous industry average, allowing CEMEX to confidently guarantee delivery within thirty minutes. The company is not just blowing smoke either. This guarantee, as results have shown, is backed by a 97% success rates. While the efficient process has won over customers is has also dropped operating costs with CEMEX being able to cut 35% of its fleet, saving it $100 million!. 9) Through these previously described technologies, CEMEX has been able to apply a highly effective vertical integration supply chain that has helped in its success. CEMEX has recently introduced another information system. Building upon CEMEXNet, Zambrano has installed a system that allows the customer to become involved in the company's technological innovation. Cement and ready mix purchases, order status, account information, and real-time delivery progress is completely accessible to the customer via the CEMEX website. 10) The customer reaction was rapid, and CEMEX now sells more than 20 percent of its product online. 11) With ever changing and adapting policies it is no wonder that CEMEX placed in the top 5 of Wired's most cutting edge and innovative companies. 12) That's not half bad for a cement company, considering the organizations that beat them out include Google and Yahoo. CEMEX enjoys an assortment of competitive advantages. For one, it possesses an imitation-resistant business model whose strengths bode well for the cement and ready mix industries. CEMEX deals with a product that has a shelf life of only a few hours, depreciating even faster than computers. This means that, to be successful, a firm cannot have a lot of inventory and must distribute its product quickly and accurately. CEMEX, as an industry leader, has set the bar high in these categories and has only been pushing it higher ever since. CEMEX integrates technology into every level and function of the organization, which is the key to their dynamism. This allows information to be shared easily throughout its value chain, and creates a standard way of communicating valuable data and information throughout an organization that operates in 60 countries. Everything from plant operations to sales to accounting is standardized, with all the data being transferred back to corporate headquarters via CEMEX's satellite network. A huge advantage over competitors who are less tech-savvy. A pointed example of this is seen by CEMEX's dominance in Spain, a market it entered in 1992; today CEMEX is the top supplier in the country with operating margins over 30%. 13) Information is also shared vertically in the firm's organizational structure. CEMEX has "Innovation Days"; nine days out of every year are devoted to harvesting employee ideas. This promotes connections between senior management and lower level employees, fosters innovative thinking, and dramatically reduces Research and Development costs by leveraging the innovative ideas of CEMEX's rank and file employees. CEMEX leverages the data that it gathers to discover new markets as well. 14) CEMEX developed its model before it started expanding abroad. CEMEX uses Post-Merger- Integration (PMI) teams to streamline a newly acquired firm, identify and retain talent, and, most importantly, adopt key elements and standards of CEMEX's business model. Therefore, CEMEX's subsidiaries work in the same, successful way as its Mexican operation. This, along with the fact that the company is the world's leading producer of white cement and the world's largest trader of cement and clinker, give it advantages of scale. 15) CEMEX's biggest competitors simply can't copy CEMEX's model. This is because of the fact that CEMEX developed its technology-based model first, and then successfully integrated it when it acquired companies overseas. Holderbank and Lafarge both had foreign subsidies long before the communication and technology revolution began. This means that their information systems developed differently in each of its separate operations, without a centralized organization like CEMEX. It would require a huge outlay of capital now by these companies to overcome this inefficiency and unify their systems, an investment they are reluctant to make. Thus, CEMEX's use of technology in improving the efficiency of their business model, the amount of information shared, and the data collection, along with its ability to expand their distribution channels while using their brand provide enough evidence suggesting that CEMEX concentrates on their strategic positioning. Michael Porter points to this as a crucial element to having a sustainable business. 16) Because of its, now obvious, powerful position, CEMEX enjoys several key opportunities. Datamonitor, a leading business information company, recently pointed to a couple of these opportunities such as the positive outlook for the US and Mexican construction markets. Although American's market can still be described as sluggish with the recent subprime woes affecting the critical housing construction market, CEMEX's strong presence throughout the U.S. can still be accounted for as a key opportunity. Datamonitor's SWOT analysis also points to their lack of influence in China and India as threats, but we also see these as opportunities. With the most recent financial report coming in positive with a 9% increase in revenue and a 6% increase in EBITDA along with their past history in acquisitions, we see very little that will inhibit CEMEX from eventually getting in and exploiting those crucial developing countries" construction markets. That is not to say that there is still a good amount of risk or threats there. With future acquisitions in India and China, CEMEX will need to continue their desire for "continuous improvement." The firm will need to maintain their high standards in innovation and customer satisfaction in order to be successful in these new markets. Furthermore, with CEMEX's increased power, they are experiencing more and more regulation, which could be seen as an obstacle. Even through all the technological advancements that the company might strive for, they must still maintain the important customer relationships to be successful, which may be easier, said than done with such aggressive expansionism. But CEMEX's motivation to always improve combined with their good track record up to this point inhibit us to believe that CEMEX has a concrete future ahead. Why was cement used so heavily in the construction in the 19th century? As the population grew people wanted more sturdy homes and only concrete along with steel could give it a firm shape. Cement had been used as a binding agent that hardens when mixed with water. The industry basically strived on: 1) Supply 2) Demand and 3) Competition The minimum efficient scale (MES) for a cement plant approximated 1 million tons of capacity per year. Cement plants asset were largely dedicated to production of cement and lasted for decades. Earlier mode of transportation that was chosen was road transport. Road transportation was the most expensive and limited the effective distribution radius to 150 to 300 miles. Waterborne transportation was the most economical and the new system of loading and unloading the barges, made it easier and could ship cement to distribution terminals in distant markets as well as serving local ones. The data states that in 1990s international seaborne traffic in cement was averaged above 50 million tons per year. By resorting 2 multi-modal ways of transportation, CEMEX had reduced on their transportation cost and also have capitalized on their effective distribution. The long run demand for cement was directly related to the gross domestic product (GDP) with per capita consumption increasing up to $20,000 plus. Demand tented to be higher in areas where there was a warm climate. Demand generally decreased with a long coast line, since more sea transport meant fewer roads and increased share of government expenditure. Retail sales to individual customers for home construction and like were important in developing countries. CEMEX then had to focus on B2B (Business to Business) and B2C (Business to Customers) models. The cement firms had problems with supplying cement due to excessive demand. The basing point price systems were brought in as a cushion by cement industry. It was a common system in the United Sates wherein the leading firms set the base price and the other firms calculated their price on the basis of the base price. As CEMEX was rated as the 3rd largest, the other market leaders fixed the price and CEMEX had to adjust accordingly as a result it could never get a premium price for its cement. Another major factor for contributing to the CEMEX's success was that of its international competitors. By 1999 there were six major players in the cement industry 1. HOLDERBANK 2. LAFARGE 3. CEMEX 4. HEIDELBERGER 5. ITALCEMENTI 6. BLUECIRCLE In aggregate, the six major players controlled 5 million tons of capacity representing almost one quarter of the total world. CEMEX capacity share was major from countries like Mexico (64.6%), Indonesia (43.7%), Venezuela (40.6%), Spain (26.5%) and Philippines (22%). CEMEX being the 3rd largest cement producer in the world it had to compete with Holderbank (5 continents and more than 50 countries) and Lafarge which has a presence in more countries in comparison to CEMEX. In such a competitive environment cross border investment was the most important aspect. And when the U.S. cement industry had fallen into crises the prices had also gone down therefore the most obvious action was the acquisition as that time the market values of the target companies were less than their underlying values. But by acquiring these companies, estimating their long run growth rate was a problem. Again, the Asian crises in 1997 gave an opportunity to these 6 major players to enter in South East Asia at much minimized rates. Opportunities like this only gave open doors to the major players to expand in the world and the strategies of the companies help them to crack larger deals and to be on the top. CORE COMPETENCIES OF CEMEX The success stems from their distinctive approach to business. For the company, cement is a solution that can make a real difference in people's lives; it bridges barriers, connects communities, and forms a foundation for national development. CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENT AND INNOVATION One of the attributes that sets them apart is their passion for change; they always keep improving to stay at the forefront of the industry. Through novel initiatives such as our ATM-like, 24-hour cement dispatch system, they capitalize on their market knowledge, resourcefulness, and agility to deliver efficient customer solutions that fundamentally change them from their competitors. CUSTOMER FOCUS CEMEX put their customers first. Because proximity, product quality, and availability are important to their customers, they have aligned their commercial networks to serve their needs. Their Construrama distributor network has grown into the largest construction materials chain in Latin America, with more than 2,100 Construrama-brand retail outlets across Mexico. Among other benefits, Construrama offers their customers uniform product quality, reliable client service, and convenience. Their customers have ready access to local Construrama suppliers that carry more than 500 different building products at affordable prices. TECHNOLOGY-BASED SOLUTIONS They use technology to leverage the collective knowledge of their people and to operate successfully in widely different markets and economies. Their IT platform and standardized processes enable them to identify and share best practices across our global operations network and to extract value from integrated acquisitions—simply and systematically. Their exchange of knowledge is evident across their U.S. operations network. Taken together, their many initiatives have enabled them to enhance their customer fulfillment; increase their operating productivity, efficiency, and safety; and consolidate their brand nationwide. LOW-COST PRODUCTION They have established an exceptional record of low-cost leadership over the last 15 years. Perhaps nothing better exemplifies their unrelenting drive to control costs than their energy management strategy. By taking advantage of the flexibility in the cement manufacturing process to consume different types of energy, they have developed a diversified fuel structure in which almost 80% of their total fuel cost is based on sources with low price volatility. For instance, in Mexico they have converted all 15 of their cement plants to theme at least few sources of energy, including petroleum coke, fuel oil, alternative fuels, and natural gas. As a result, their Mexican operations were able to reduce their fuel cost by 40% over the years. ONGOING COMMITMENT TO SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY Their commitment to social responsibility is rooted in their company's 98-year history of helping their communities to build their infrastructure. Their philosophy of social responsibility guides and informs r strategy for sustainable development, which—at its most basic—is to run an efficient and profitable business while caring for the needs of their environment and their communities. An important element of their strategy is to create programs that benefit both their society and their company. Top: Our 24-hour self-service dispatch offers customers a range of benefits, including increased loading flexibility, shortened loading times, and reduced administrative work. Bottom left: "e-movil" system reduces their customers' costs and increases their flexibility; customers can use their cell phones to place orders and obtain account status information. . Bottom right: In 2002 they were awarded the World Environment Center's Eighteenth Annual WEC Gold Medal for International Corporate Environmental Achievement. CONCLUSION For any company to be successful it is very essential that the company develops its core competencies in its product or services being delivered. CEMEX in this case earlier had diversified horizontally even before it could establish its roots in parent country. The company had thought of globalization which didn't help them to consolidate in any sector. The international competitors like Holderbank and Lafarge had taken a first mover advantage in the cement industry. The pricing they set according to the base point had to be followed by the other cement industry throughout. As a result, CEMEX never earned a premium on their product. When CEMEX started focusing on their production in Mexico and became the leading cement producer in Mexico. Later they started expanding in other countries like United States, Spain, Venezuela, Central American and the Caribbean, Colombia, Egypt and Asia. The different strategies that they adapted in different markets also helped them to come to the 3rd position in cement manufacturing all over. Continuous innovation and social responsibility will help the company to develop a good position in the market among its customer. Company also need to sustain its existing customers by giving them the best of the best services as getting the new customer is very expensive in comparison of retaining the existing customers. Here, company needs to sustain its position and keep on developing new strategies for expansion which will even help the company to come on the top position from the 3rd position.
