The reelection campaign for Rep. Howard Berman (D) is launching a multi-media attack on Rep. Brad Sherman (D) highlighting Sherman's having collected at least $425,000 in interest – and perhaps as much as $461,000 – on personal loans made to his various campaign committees over the course of his decades-long career.
Sherman, who is running against Berman for reelection in the 30th district in the West San Fernando Valley, first charged interest on loans to his campaign committees in 1989. The practice is legal but not widely used; some election law observers decry it as unethical.
Sherman has not collected interest on loans made to his campaign committees since 2005, but over the 17 preceding years, he made loans to three different campaign committees and collected interest on those loans. Sherman regularly left those loans on the books for long stretches of time, even when his comittee had sufficient funds to pay them back. He also collected interest on interest that had accrued even after the principal amount of the loan had been repaid.
The Berman campaign has acknowledged that Sherman did not charge exorbitant rates of interest on the loans; the Sherman campaign said that interest was paid at a rate two percent less than the returns being offered at an ordinary bank.
But the Berman campaign said that the practice amounted to Sherman "intertwining" his campaign and personal accounts, and could not find another member of Congress who had collected as much interest as Sherman had.
"Is it appropriate for a member of Congress to use their campaign accounts – which is there for the purposes of getting elected and reelected – is it appropriate to also use that campaign account as an investment vehicle?" Brandon Hall, Berman's campaign manager, said in a conference call with reporters on Monday.
With just over five weeks until Election Day, the Berman campaign, which has acknowledged Sherman is leading in this closely watched race, is upping its negative messaging, putting the charges at the center of a new media push with ads on TV, the Internet and direct-mail solicitations.
Though they stop short of calling Sherman's actions unethical, Hall said that the message is designed to raise questions about Sherman in the minds of voters.
The Sherman campaign dismissed the Berman campaign's accusations in a statement, calling them "false at worst and highly misleading at best."
"He loans it to his campaign because he's committed to being a public servant," said John Schwada, the Sherman campaign's press secretary.
In defending Sherman's actions, his campaign released a statement on Monday saying the practice of collecting interest on personal loans to campaigns is "completely legal and has never been criticized by an independent group."
Furthermore, the statement said Sherman made the loans early in his career, when he was facing "self-funded multi-millionaire Republican candidates while running in a highly competitive seat," at a rate of interest "that was at least 2% less than the rate he would have received had he simply left the money in the bank."
This is hardly the first time that campaign finance has been the subject of attacks and counterattacks in this big-budget battle between incumbents.
Early on, Sherman focused on the existence of a number of pro-Berman Super PACs, groups that can accept unlimited donations to make independent expenditures on behalf of a particular candidate.
In August, the Berman campaign, on an anti-Sherman Web site, called Sherman "The Payday Lenders' Man in Washington," in part for his having benefitted from a 2009 fundraiser at the home of a lobbyist representing payday lenders.
And on Monday, the Sherman campaign's statement reiterated a number of attacks on Berman, including the accusation that Berman paid his brother, political consultant Michael Berman, $741,500 to run campaigns between 1992 to 2010, years when Berman did not face a serious election challenge.
That accusation stemmed from a report issued by the independent watchdog group, Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW).
In the same report, however, CREW called for increased scrutiny of the practice of collecting interest on loans to campaign committees. "High interest payments suggest candidates may be using loans as vehicles for self-enrichment," the report stated.
According to the Berman campaign, CREW began reporting interest payments made to members of Congress in 2005, the same year that Sherman last collected interest from loans made to his campaign committees.
Having abandoned the practice of collecting interest on the money he loaned his campaign committee, Sherman was not among the 14 sitting house members mentioned in CREW's 2012 report. CREW declined to comment for this story.
Even as the Berman campaign unveiled its latest attack, one plank was being challenged. When it was launched, the new Web site publicizing what the Berman campaign calls "The Brad Sherman Scam" prominently featured a quote from Craig Holman, a lobbyist at Public Citizen, a Washington advocacy group.
"I find this practice quite reprehensible," the quote from Holman read.
That remark, from 2009, came from a Bloomberg story about Rep. Grace Napolitano's collecting more than $200,000 in interest on loans she made to her campaign committes. Though Napolitano collected less than half of what Sherman did in interest, the loans she made were reportedly made at very high rates of interest, up to 18 percent in some cases.
Public Citizen asked the Berman campaign to remove the Holman quote from the Web site.
"We don't know the facts," Lisa Gilbert, acting director of Public Citizen's CongressWatch, said. "This question is taken from a different situation with a different member of Congress."
By the end of the day on Monday, the Holman quote appeared to have been removed. Still, the Berman campaign's Hall stood by its initial use.
"Craig Holman and Public Citizen are commenting on the exact practice that Brad Sherman engaged in to profit $460,000 by using his campaign as a personal investment vehicle," Hall said in a statement emailed to the Journal.

Jewish and non-, Los Angeles's politicians were out in the packed pews of synagogues around Los Angeles these past couple of weeks.
California Gov. Jerry Brown may have commanded Yom Kippur's highest profile gig, speaking about Prop. 30, his ballot initiative that would raise taxes to benefit public education across the state, at Temple Emanuel in Beverly Hills yesterday. But with a national election just weeks away and a mayoral contest that features a bunch of Jewish (and Jew-ish) candidates, elected officials were easy to find in synagogues around the city.
Including, of course, this blog's favorite Jewish congressmen.
According to two reliable sources, Rep. Howard Berman spent Rosh Hashanah at his synagogue, Adat Ari El in Valley Village. Rep. Brad Sherman, meanwhile, made his way to Temple Judea in Tarzana on the first evening of Rosh Hashana, Temple Aliyah in Woodland Hills the following morning and then to his own temple, Valley Beth Shalom in Encino, on the second day.
All four of those synagogues are in the new 30th district, which is being contested by the two Jewish Democratic incumbents.
Sherman "has been invited to Temple Judea and Temple Aliyah every year for the past 16 years to celebrate Rosh Hashana," Sherman's campaign press secretary, John Schwada, wrote in an email to the Journal.
According to a source close to the campaign of one candidate for Los Angeles mayor, pols go where they're invited, and over the years, the invitations multiply, leading to tight itineraries this time of year.
Especially for pols seeking reelection. I'm told Rep. Henry Waxman, who is facing off against a tough opponent in Bill Bloomfield), was at Sinai Temple on Rosh Hashana's second day (which is still in Waxman's new coastal district, the 33rd), and LAObserved spotted him at Temple Israel of Hollywood (which isn't in his district anymore) during the holiday as well.
Also spotted by LAObserved at Temple Israel was L.A. City Controller Wendy Gruel, who is running for Mayor. Gruel reportedly made it to services at University Synagogue on Sunset as well.
Another candidate for mayor, Los Angeles City Councilman Eric Garcetti, did a two-fer on the first day of Rosh Hashana, hitting the city's oldest conservative synagogue, Sinai Temple, in the morning and making it to IKAR – one of the city's youngest spiritual communities – for the latter half of services and lunch.
Full disclosure: This blogger is a member of IKAR, which is why he can report that the congregation also played host to the city's current mayor on Yom Kippur; Antonio Villaraigosa led the congregation in the prayer for the United States and its leaders.

Happy New Year, y'all.

At a debate on Tuesday morning, Reps. Howard Berman and Brad Sherman each put forward – yet again – the reasons why each feels they should be sent back to Washington, D.C., for another term in office.
The debate, sponsored by the Valley Industry & Commerce Association (VICA), allowed the two candidates to present their positions on issues including job creation, trade policy and health care reform to their business-focused hosts. In many instances, the two candidates explicitly stated that they were in agreement on certain matters.
But the best illustration of the choice facing voters in the 30th district this November – when the two Democratic congressmen, who have similar voting records, will face off against one another in a runoff election – came during their back and forth over how to best protect intellectual property from digital piracy.
The Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA), a law backed by Hollywood that critics contended would have "broken the Internet," was roundly defeated in the court of public opinion in early 2012. But in this race, the debate is still raging.
Sherman, who co-sponsored the legislation and said he agreed with its objectives, said the lawmakers had written the legislation in a way that played into its opponents' arguments.
"It was the worst script since 'Ishtar,'" Sherman said, winning a few laughs from the 75 or so VICA members in attendance. "It was the worst rollout since Edsel."
Berman, who is often referred to as "the Congressman from Hollywood" thanks to his advocacy for entertainment industry interests, and also co-sponsored the legislation, defended SOPA, calling the opponents' arguments "bogus." He went on to accuse Sherman of kowtowing to public opinion, and said that Republican Congressman Darell Issa, who forcefully opposed the legislation, endorsed Berman in April specifically because he was confident that he and Berman could "go into a closed room and ... work out the differences on SOPA to provide something effective to deal with the scourge of digital theft."
Sherman wasted no time in rebutting Berman's attack, saying that what congressmen needed to do was listen to the American people. "You can't go into a closed room with Darrell Issa write a bill and figure it's going to pass," Sherman said.
And that, in a nutshell, is part of what's at stake in this unusual race.
Sherman presents himself as the one who listens to the Valley, often expressing populist sentiments that don't always get translated into law or policy, but have, Sherman argues, impacted law by ensuring that certain bad policies don't get enacted. When Sherman touts his supporters, he often does so in bulk, mentioning that he has the support of every elected official who lives in the West San Fernando Valley district (save one, Assemblyman Bob Blumenfield, who once worked for Berman).
Berman, meanwhile, is – still, despite the changes in his campaign's direction -- making an insider's argument that he is a more effective legislator than Sherman. On Tuesday, he listed some of his endorsers collectively – most of the Congressional representatives from around the district have sided with him – but he listed each of the five Senators backing him by name.
If Berman is making a qualitative argument – he used his closing statement on Tuesday morning to mention his having won endorsements from both the Los Angeles Times and the Daily News – Sherman is making a quantitative one. He opened by citing numbers from polls that show he's still ahead in this race. An independent poll taken earlier this month showed him 13 points ahead of Berman.
Berman has always maintained that this race would be an uphill battle, and Brandon Hall, his campaign manager, acknowledged that even at this late date, that's still the case, and cited the campaign's internal, unreleased polling as evidence.
"We'll concede that we're still trailing," Hall said on Tuesday morning. "But it's single digits."
The election is six weeks -- 42 days -- away.

With less than two months until Election Day and only three weeks before early voting begins, Rep. Brad Sherman is still polling well ahead of Rep. Howard Berman.
According to a poll conducted earlier this week for KABC and first reported on Sept. 20, 45 percent of voters would cast ballots for Sherman, as compared to 32 percent who said they'd go for Berman.
Nearly a quarter of voters – 23 percent -- still hadn't decided between the two Jewish Democrats, who were thrown into the same district by last year's redistricting process.
The poll, conducted by hyper-local polling firm SurveyUSA, surveyed 628 likely voters in the new 30th Congressional district in the West San Fernando Valley and found that although both candidates are well-liked, Sherman is seen as more focused on the needs of Valley residents than Berman is, and is considered to be a more effective legislator by voters.
That latter finding is bound to rankle the Berman campaign, which has been working to make the case that Berman, who has been in Congress for three decades, is more effective than Sherman, who was first elected in 1996.
Sherman has been running ahead in the race for the 30th district since 2011, when it became clear that the two long-serving legislators would be running against one another. The new survey's results appear to confirm the results of earlier polls conducted by the Sherman campaign and aren't all that different from the results of the June primary, in which Sherman finished first with 42 percent of the vote and Berman finished second with 32 percent.
The Sherman campaign hailed the poll results as demonstrating that voters had not been persuaded by the Berman campaign, which has publicized Berman's many endorsements by high-profile lawmakers from both parties and, in recent months, has launched a series of attacks on Sherman.
"They know Brad," Parke Skelton, the Sherman campaign's chief strategist, said in a statement on Friday morning. "They know he shares their Valley values and that he will make their voices heard on national issues."
Berman recently won the endorsement of the Los Angeles Daily News editorial board, and his campaign manager Brandon Hall said that despite the poll's results, he remained confident that the race is "very close."
"By every measure, Howard Berman is a more effective Congressman who delivers for the Valley like no one else," Hall wrote in an email to The Journal. "Brad Sherman's pinnacle accomplishment is naming a post office. By Election Day, voters will understand this difference very clearly."
In the June primary, almost one-quarter of voters chose one of a number of Republican candidates. No Republican will appear on the ballot in November, and both Berman and Sherman have been working hard to win over GOP supporters.
Republicans, according to the KABC poll, are going Sherman's way, as are voters in every other category. Men and women as well as voters of all ages, races, income levels and party affiliations went for Sherman.
The poll also showed Sherman leading Berman among voters of all religions. Among Jewish voters, his lead was smallest, taking 43 percent to Berman's 38 percent, a result that diverges significantly from an earlier study analyzing the primary results that found Berman "decisively" beat Sherman among Jewish voters.

Happy New Year, dear Jewish readers! Anyone see a Congressman (or two) in synagogue this Rosh Hashanah?
This won't be quite like the usual business on this blog. Unlike every other post, this one won't be primarily about the race between Rep. Howard Berman and Rep. Brad Sherman. Instead, let's talk about the latest fad this campaign season: partisan lawmakers citing their willingness to work across the aisle.
On Sunday, the New York Times cast a sideways glance at the Republicans who are trotting out this argument. (Remember Richard Mourdock, the Tea Party-backed nominee who knocked Indiana Sen. Richard Lugar out of the race for his own Senate seat by attacking Lugar as too bipartisan? He now says he'll "work with anyone.")
In the 30th district, the two long-serving Republican Senators who endorsed Berman earlier this month both used the B-word in their statements. (Sen. Lindsey Graham (R- S.C.) praised Berman's "bipartisan leadership," while Sen. John McCain (R – Ariz.) used the word two times in four sentences.)
This despite the National Journal ranking Berman the 69th most liberal member of Congress in 2011, more liberal than 360 of his colleagues, including Sherman, who was merely the 85th most liberal member based on his 2011 votes.
The Sherman campaign has its own Republican supporters – local elected officials, including Los Angeles City Councilmen Mitchell Englander and Dennis Zine – but they weren't enough to convince the Daily News editorial board of Sherman's bipartisan chops. In its endorsement of Berman last week, the paper said that his "most important quality" was his being better at "show[ing] more cooperation and less partisanship."
Ah, bipartisanship. Everyone wants to claim they are – or will be – good at it, including another local congressional candidate, Bill Bloomfield. The Republican-turned-Independent is running against Henry Waxman, and Bloomfield's largely self-funded campaign hinges on the argument that "hyper-partisanship" is what's causing the gridlock in Washington.
I interviewed Bloomfield not too long ago for an article about the race. Sitting in his campaign office, he told me that if elected, he'd not caucus with either party, and that he'd like to overhaul the tax code by starting effectively from scratch.
Ambitious words from a would-be freshman congressman, and very bipartisan-sounding, to boot.
But when I asked Bloomfield, who has never before held public office, how he would've voted on the Affordable Care Act, he declined to say how he would have voted.
Bipartisanship is easy to talk about during campaign season. Should be interesting to see if the folks in Washington can manage some of that on Nov. 7.

When Sens. Lindsey Graham, John McCain, Joe Lieberman announced on Monday that they were going to support Rep. Howard Berman in his race against fellow Democrat, Rep. Brad Sherman, the press couldn't stop talking about "unusual," "rare," and "surprising" it was to see Republicans taking sides in a race between two Democrats.
It's all about attracting GOP votes in the majority Democratic 30th District; Berman finished 10 points behind Sherman in the June primary; that contest included a number of Republican candidates who won't be on the ballot in November.
But back to yesterday's "surprising" news: The best lede of the bunch came from The Hill's Cameron Joseph, who called the endorsements "the latest example of the strange-bedfellows game California's new all-party primary has created."
California is a weird and interesting place to watch politics these days (and not just in the 30th district – but more on that in the pages of the Journal later this week.)
What the Senators said about Berman (circulated to press by the Berman campaign) is stuff we've heard before – though, admittedly, these talking points have usually come from Democrats.
Graham, Republican of South Carolina, praised Berman's bipartisanship, and called him "instrumental in passing laws to prevent the spread of nuclear weapons, stop arms sales to nations that support terrorism, and keep our country safe."
The independent Lieberman, of Connecticut, in a line sure to infuriate Sherman and his supporters, credited Berman with leading "the fight to prevent Iran from getting nuclear weapons -- working across the aisle to pass the toughest Iran sanctions in history."
"When Israel's leadership needs a friend in Congress," Lieberman added, "that ally is Howard Berman."
McCain, Republican of Arizona, also praised Berman's "bipartisan" work "on issues ranging from human rights to missile defense," even using the E-Word ("effectiveness") to describe Berman's record.
Strange bedfellows? Yes, although I'd have to say that Barney Frank's takedown of Sherman was stranger, still.
And apparently, the conference call Frank did with reporters in early August wasn't the only setting in which he assailed Sherman on Berman's behalf. The retiring Congressman from Massachusetts was in Southern California not too long ago for a Berman fundraiser.
Rep. Henry Waxman, a longtime friend of Berman's, was at the fundraiser, and told me that what Frank said amounted to this: "Berman ... gets things done, is not trying to get the limelight, but accomplish important things. To have him punished by electing a guy who just takes cheap shots all the time, sends a signal that cheap shots are more important than good hard legislative work."
Which reminds me: When Berman's new campaign manager, Brandon Hall, took over, the campaign launched a Web site dedicated to bashing Sherman.
That site was supposed to be updated every Monday, and yet yesterday was the fourth straight Monday (including the Labor Day holiday) with no nasty news item.
Could the Berman campaign be moving back to its primary strategy, when Berman was ran on his "effectiveness?"
Or is it, as Sherman's chief consultant put it in an email to reporters back in August, that Berman has simply "run out of mud to sling?"
Who's to say what next Monday might bring?

The San Fernando Valley Republican Club (SFVRC) has decided not to endorse either Rep. Brad Sherman or Rep. Howard Berman, the two Democratic incumbents who will face off in November in the hotly contested and closely watched race to represent the newly redrawn 30th Congressional district.
At a meeting on August 7, the members of the organization voted "overwhelmingly" in favor of a resolution not to endorse either candidate. According to a release, the resolution's text cited a lack of support on the part of both candidates for "conservative principles" like limited government and lower taxes.
"The San Fernando Valley Republican Club commends both Cong. Berman and Cong. Sherman on their strong support for Israel, but the SFVRC will take no position in the congressional race," said President Gary Aminoff in a release. "It would not be possible for Republicans who believe in conservative principles to be able to support either candidate in good conscience."
The SFVRC vote shouldn't come as a big surprise, particularly to readers of this blog. Aminoff, who is also vice chair of the Republican Party of Los Angeles County, told The Journal in June that the county party would not be making any recommendations in the race, preferring to allow individual republicans to decide for themselves which candidate to support.
One quarter of the district's registered voters are Republicans, and both the Berman and Sherman campaigns are making efforts to win endorsements from individual Republicans, even though, according to Aminoff, members of the party's central committee can be removed from their positions for endorsing or recommending a candidate who is not a member of the Republican party.
Will Republicans just take a pass on this race between two liberal Democrats? Unclear, but even if the party's official clubs decline to take a side, there are murmurings among some highly placed Jewish republicans – all off the record at this point—about wanting to organize a debate where the candidates might address their issues.

That's how Rep. Barney Frank (D – Mass.) described the role played in Congress by Rep. Brad Sherman (D – Sherman Oaks) on a conference call with reporters on Aug. 7, organized by Rep. Howard Berman's (D – Van Nuys) reelection campaign.
Frank described himself as an admirer of Berman's, and referred to the 29-year incumbent as a "very responsible, very constructive, thoughtful member" of Congress. But this call was not about building up Berman's bona fides as much as it was an opportunity for an well-known Democratic leader to tear into Sherman.
"One of the things that makes [Sherman] not a very good legislator, in my mind, is the total lack of understanding that in a legislative body you work with other people," Frank said.
Frank, who has announced that he will retire at the end of his current term, endorsed Berman shortly after the district lines were redrawn last year, setting up this battle between Democratic incumbents, but only recently decided to take a stronger position for Berman and against Sherman.
Frank said he was inspired to do so by a pair of comments by Sherman that he called "appallingly off the mark."
First, Frank, who is a former chair and ranking Democrat on the House Committee on Financial Services, of which Sherman is also a member, rejected Sherman's assertion that he "had more to do with [the financial reform law] Dodd-Frank than anyone except Dodd and Frank."
This, Frank said, was an instance of Sherman denigrating his colleagues in an effort to build up his own reputation.
"There were a number of members who had more to do with it than he did," Frank said.
Frank also questioned a second comment made by Sherman, in May, when he told reporters that his efforts to stall the passage of the Troubled Asset Recovery Program (TARP) bill forced a change in the program that "saved this country over $400 billion."
It's an assertion that Sherman has made frequently on the trail; his campaign circulated a mailer last May touting Sherman's opposition to TARP, and that mailer also included the $400 billion number.
Frank dismissed the claim that Sherman's opposition impacted the shape of the TARP program as "wholly a figment of his [Sherman's] imagination."
"The notion that his opposition led to the change from buying assets to capital infusion is wholly and completely fantasy in the first place," said Frank.
As Frank described it, the decision to pursue a strategy of capital infusion instead of buying troubled or toxic assets was made not as a result of the urging by Sherman and other TARP opponents, but by then Secretary of the Treasury Henry Paulson.
Sherman, in a statement circulated by his campaign after Frank's conference call, proudly restated his opposition to the TARP program.
"Everyone in the San Fernando Valley knows I opposed the $700 million [sic] Wall Street bailout," Sherman said. "I know I made Barney Frank extremely angry because he says I was anti-bailout and Berman was pro-bailout, and now he's doing everything he can do to bailout Berman."
Frank did label Sherman as anti-bailout on the call, noting that even on the second round of voting on the bill in the House, Sherman voted against the TARP program.
"He [Sherman] was every bit opposed to the capital infusion as he was opposed to the toxic assets," Frank said, adding that had TARP not passed, the auto industry would not be in the shape it is in today and the country would have experienced "a much deeper and much more prolonged downturn."
So why did Sherman vote against the TARP bill on its second reading?
According to Sherman campaign spokesman John Schwada, Sherman voted no the second time because the bill's language "still left open the possibility the purchase of toxic assets. That was enough to kill it for Brad."
But doesn't that mean that Sherman is claiming credit for the way TARP was administered even though he voted against the bill that authorized it – twice? And that he's simultaneously using Berman's votes to approve that same bill as a way to attack Berman as having supported the "TARP bailout of Wall Street—twice"?
It would seem so. As Schwada explained it, Sherman, who called his opponent "Bailout Berman" in an interview with Politico, is opposed to "bailouts," but not to "recovery plans."
"Brad voted against [TARP] twice and he was thankful that the outcome that eventually came about—- that the treasury department bought preferred stock instead of toxic assets – was far preferable to the original idea. And Sherman applauds that outcome and feels that he had some responsibility for it."
Because TARP, as ultimately carried out, wasn't a bailout, per se.
"[Congressman Sherman] didn't consider it a bailout because it didn't' give away the store," Schwada said. "It was a recovery plan that made sense."
If it seems to you like Sherman is splitting hairs here, you're not alone.
For the Berman campaign, the TARP comment was another instance of Sherman exaggerating his contributions to the legislative process. In a release issued by the campaign after the call ended, the Berman campaign likened Frank's comments to those of former Appropriations Committee chairman Rep. Jim Oberstar who rejected Sherman's assertions that he deserved credit for the federal funding for the I-405 freeway widening project.
And once again, this back and forth clarifies the fact that when Sherman makes an impact, it's not through the legislative process. And what's in dispute is whether he made an impact. The Washington Post seemed to think that Sherman had some impact on the shape of the TARP program in 2008, but today, Frank rejected that assessment.
"He [Sherman] did not have anything like the role he described," Frank said. "If anything, I thought he was neutral."

Should I sand after the stain and then put the poly on?

thanks everyone for the so nice comments-- so made my day :) Teresa and Spencer&Lorilyn I am slightly adventurous with the whole painting thing-- (paint is an artform right)-so I don't always follow the standard rules I guess- I wait till the paint is completely dry and I don't sand in between and than I just apply the gel stain almost like I'm painting it again and I don't wipe much if any off-- for the white paint with the pecan stain over it it isn't a gel stain and I just wipe it on when the paint is dry-- Don't know what rules I'm breaking but I've had some pieces of furniture that I've done that to for years now and I've seen no issues so far-- Hope that helps thanks so much for your comments

Your style is fantastic! I LOVE this! I never would have thought to do darker chairs with the white table legs, but it works so well!! This ought to be mass-produced, but then it probably wouldn't be $90 would it. ;)

You have totally inspired me! I have been wanting a new dining set. The table is "ghetto" and the chairs are so worn out and ugly. Now I know I can make the table and just refinish/stain my chairs to match. Thank you for sharing your beautiful work and saving me having to buy new chairs. Great ammunition to give the hubby in talking him into helping me with the table:) Good luck with baby #3!

Hey, can I ask how you whitewashed the table top? Did you just mix water into your paint, or did you actually use a whitewash? It came out beautifully!

This table is incredible! I am building the same one and wanted to paint it black but my new cupboards are white so I think that'll throw off the warm colors I have throughout the house... so I think your stain would be perfect to tie everything in. It is absolutely gorgeous! How do you stain over a white (or in your case, yellow) wash? I didn't think that was possible... what kind of yellow paint was it? If you are willing to share your secrets, I'm sure there would be more than me who would love you forever for it :) Thanks!

Your table is beautiful. I have a question though, right now I am working on a vanity that I had made for one of the bathrooms. It is made out of alder and I stripped the paint off and distressed it a bit and stained it. The staining part turned out beautiful but the the poly part is driving me nuts. It keeps sagging. I've tried using thin coats but I just can't keep from have a mistake or two on there.
I have striped it back down and going for it again. Do you have any tips. I would love to hear from someone who knows.
Thanks. - June 3, 2010 at 8:43 PM

My Husband and I just LOVE the table you redid. I was so inspired by what you did, I drove an hour to a Flea Market today to buy a table just for the legs. And a found one for $20! I'd like to send you a picture of it and get your opinion on weither or not I should build a new apron for the table or just build an apron around the existing one. Thanks for your help.

Beautiful table! Love it! Thanks for sharing. I am going to keep my eyes open for a set like that and will make my own! Love all of your stuff. Just started rehabbing old furniture myself, have done a few chairs. Definitely bookmarking your blog for future inspiration.

- laurenpoole88 said...
Hi Ali,
I was wondering if you could expand on how you did the table top. To whitewash it did you just dilute a yellow paint with water and lightly coat it? Also, for the pecan stain, was it liquid or gel? I'm about to start making my own, but I'm nervous that it won't turn out as good as yours! Please help :)

I'd love to know how the finish on your farmhouse table is holding up after a year of use. I'm asking because my DH made the table for me, but I've got to stain and finish it myself! Would you mind letting me know if the satin poly finish is "tough enough" for everyday family use? Do you use placemats? Would a drink left on the table leave a ring? Thanks for the inspiration and the courage to do this!!

Awesome! I'm essentially doing the same thing with my old Ikea table and I'm pretty excited. Now that I see your boards, I kind of want to see if I can slip a knife between the wood bits to get a little more def.

I love your table but I have to ask.. how do you keep it clean? I have a table kind of like that, but it's got those gaps in between each slat of wood. I like the table but I am so ready to get rid of it just because I cant deal with all the little bits and pieces of everything getting stuck there. help! :)

Hi. I love this. I have a farmhouse table I am wanting to redo but am a little confused on how you did it. For the top you covered in pecan stain and then did you just put the walnut gel in certain spots or all over? For the legs, you painted them and then did a pecan glaze and then distressed with some of the gel? Did you put a protective coat on the legs as well? Thanks for your help!

Yesterday I gave a brief introduction to how I think about the research process.
Today I want to give a (briefer) overview of what that means for a particular study. I talked before about measuring 'success' in search engine tasks – and that's one part of my study. But my main interest is in the reasons for differences in success, on a sociocultural level. So, rather than asking "does this group have access to information", we also need to ask "can this group use the information they have, effectively". Part of that will involve looking at skills, part about how they're supported – by friends, family, professionals, part about structural issues for example, if they need to travel to a job interview, can they afford to do so. more >

I am at an unhealthy time in my life. I am older then our femail role model but hearing her song reminded me of a place inside where I taught my fello mentally ill people to look so as to rise above all that holds us down. We as a people need to stop & do this together as a group. DON'T LEAVE BECAUE I SAID MENTAL ILLNESS "BUT FOR THE GRACE OF GOD." This Beautiful person used so much in words & symbols teaching us how to stay healthy when the world around us is so out of our control & makes sence what so ever. Our country persons are turning on each other politally. We need to each look within, find the love for our selves & heal as a people & a nation! I wish an important person out there would read this & make it sound smoother & take it to the masses. I am begining to heal today! It all begins again every time we wake up! And I thought she left me speachless... NO BREATHLESS IS HOW SHE MAKES ME FEEL! Thank you for your time. Empathy (Tammy)

Living and Working at NYU/NYC
We are fortunate to live in a dynamic city that offers us many opportunities not only for our students but also for the professionals that work here. NYC is in itself a global microcosm with an estimated 800 languages spoken in the city and residents representing over 200 countries. You can spend your morning in Chinatown, your afternoon in Little Italy and your evening in Spanish Harlem and see many different cultures in a single day. The city is definitely a tourism hot spot with over 40 million people visiting annually to explore the plethora of restaurants, galleries, museums, theaters, sporting events and shopping destinations New York has to offer. In New York, there really is something for everyone.
Working with Students
Our students are highly talented, motivated, and driven in the work that they do in and outside of the classroom. As a professional staff member, you work closely with student leaders and student staff to make NYU and NYC a home away from home for residents through programming, collaboration and innovative practices.
The Inter-Residence Hall Council (IRHC) is an award-winning group that provides some amazing experiences for our students - and Housie, their mascot, is a friendly face known throughout campus. Some programs that they are known for are Ultra Violet Live (UVL), Flurry, and Elegance to name a few. The Torch Chapter of the National Residence Hall Honorary (NRHH) strives to recognize the amazing work that is being done in the NYU community. Our student staff enhances the live-on experience through their direct interactions with students on a daily basis.
With IRHC, NRHH, and the efforts of our student staff, NYU residents are supported and engaged to be the best that they can be.

This month's questions were submitted by Dr. Donovan A. McFarlane, M.B.A., Msc.D., Ph.D., and adjunct instructor in business studies, City College, Fort Lauderdale, Fla.
Donovan McFarlane: How would you chart effective and strong leadership existing outside of your "7 Habits"?
Stephen Covey: I've studied leadership and management for more than 50 years. I've worked and consulted with thousands of organizations and their leaders. From this experience, I've concluded there are four common traits of all great leaders:
1) They are trustworthy. They inspire trust through high character and high competence. This one trait is by far the most significant. It is the key to moral authority, which is the basis for all enduring influence and formal authority. 2) They clarify purpose—uniting people in a shared vision. 3) They align systems to achieve that vision. 4) They unleash talent.
D.M.: What is your most profound leadership experience so far?
S.C.: When I was a young man, I had an experience with a leader that profoundly shaped the rest of my life. I had decided to take a break in my education to give some extended volunteer service. The invitation came to go to England. Just four-and-a-half months after my arrival, the president of the organization came to me and said, "I have a new assignment for you. I want you to travel around the country and train local leaders." I was shocked. Who was I to train leaders two and three times my age? Sensing my doubt, he simply looked me in the eye and said, "I have great confidence in you. You can do this. I will give you materials to help you prepare to teach these leaders and to facilitate their sharing best practices with one another."
His confidence, his ability to see more in me than I saw in myself, his willingness to entrust me with responsibility that would stretch me to my potential unlocked something inside me. I accepted the assignment and gave my best. It tapped me physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually. I grew. I saw others grow. I saw patterns in basic leadership principles. By the time I returned home, I had begun to detect the work to which I wanted to devote my life: unleashing human potential. I found my "voice." And it was my leader who inspired me to find it.
I realized in time that I wasn't the only one he treated this way. His affirmation of others, his ability to unite us in vision toward our work that inspired and motivated us, his pattern of providing us with enabling resources and empowering us as true leaders with accountability and stewardship became the norm in our entire organization. We began to lead and serve others in the same way, and the results were remarkable.
As powerful as this, and many other professional experiences since have been, the most profound leadership experience I've had in my life has been the leadership opportunity my wife and I have shared in our family with our children and now grandchildren—by far the most stretching, the most challenging, the most joyful and most rewarding. I've also realized that the experience I had with this remarkable leader early in my life simply catalyzed the affirming leadership I had received my whole life from my parents. That legacy and devotion is being carried on, not only in the nuclear family, but in the extended and intergenerational family. Nowhere is there a greater need or opportunity to positively influence the lives of others for good than in the family.
D.M.: Is humanity in dire need of good and effective leadership?
S.C. Never has the need been greater. And remember, leadership is a choice, not a position. The call and need of the emerging era of human history is for what I call everyday greatness. It's the title of my latest book (see www.EverydayGreatness.net).

"I think it was deserving of a two minute penalty. I'm being honest here, I don't think it was more than that. It was probably the way he went into the boards that did most of the damage, not from the severity of the hit."

Comment: I received these bags so fast, I forgot what was in the box. Wow!!! I never expected them within 3 days. Great looking and easy to install.I will be back to Jafrum for my motorcycle needs. Thanks
Kenny Goodman
Branson, MO
Comment: I've had these bags (w/o the studs) 2 years now & they still look as good as the day I pulled them out of the box. Been thru a few rain storms & NO leaks. Great product that holds up and travels well in all Florida conditions
Jacksonville, Florida
Comment: These are great bags, look absolutely great on my Vstar 1100. Shipped same day and received within two days. Would highly recommend.
Chuck R.
Columbia, SC
Comment: THESE BAGS LOOK GREAT ON MY 1998 HONDA SHADOW ACE. RECIEVED THEM FAST. I AM ENJOYING THEM. THANKS JAFRUM
Comment: Great quality bags at a fantastic price! I was going to make these a hard mount system but they fit so nice and look so good as throw overs I think I will leave them that way!
Cedar City, Utah
Comment: Great quality bags. Jafrum has been great to deal with. Had a problem with my first order and they took care of it. The bags mount easily as throw overs and don't need the bag supports, but I installed the supports and they work great. My cruiser (2008 Kawasaki 900 Classic) looked good before, but now has a finished look to it. Have received many comments on how good the bike looks since adding the saddlebags. Very satisfied with the bags and with Jafrum.
West Palm Beach, FL
Comment: Great saddlebags at a good price. They do not give you a way to measure for bags and if you are new at motorcycle riding, check with some one that knows about saddle bags before you order.
Billy Craft
Starr, SC
Comment: I ordered this bags for my bike and they look great! They are as described on line. And when I ordered them I recieved the next day!!! Great products and great delivery!!! Not first time I have ordered from Jafrum and I know it will not be the last!!

Comment: These are great looking bags. Ordered them for my 97 Honda Shadow Spirit. The rear signals moved back, these fit very nice. Can't go wrong with this set. Lockable quick releases
Jackson, MS
Comment: I just received these bags and I would swear that they were leather. Roomy with storage pouches. They are detachable with a handle for easy carrying. I am very impressed.
Frank L.
Comment: Comment: Great looking bags. And the service was great. If you need saddlebags this is the place to get them. Jim
Jim Hudson
Comment: Best buy for the bucks, they look great on my 05 Vulcan 1500 Classic. How can you go wrong with 138 studs and a classic looking bag? Only one drawback and not the falt of the bag, on the Vulcan the shocks stick out and the bags need to be shimmed out to clear them. I could have paid seven times more and got bags made specifically to clear the shocks, but they would not have looked better. Thanks Jafrum

Comment: Im as happy as a Pig in Slop.I couldn't have ask for a nicer set of bags,just what i was looking for.Thanks guys.

Canton , MI.
Comment: I'm happy with these bags. They arrived quick, didn't cost a fortune and look good on my V-Star. Easy to install and will serve my purposes for many years.I got them dirty the other day on a trip and they wiped right off with a rag.
Delmarva Peninsula
Comment: If leather is not an issue these bags are great look really good on my 81 sporty.The tie down stings are a little less than what you need,but a trip to the leather shop for a set of straps,or a large black tie wrap will take care of that. They hold true to everything in there resume.

Bill Church

Comment: Great bags and quick delivery. Installed in 10 minutes
Comment: Quality product, fast delivery, great price. These are big bags.
Rob Raleigh
Comment: They were better than expected. Just wonderful
david b
Comment: Nice looking and waterproof within reason. They'll succumb to long trips and overstuffing and start losing their shape. But for the price they are great.
Northbrook, IL
Comment: very nice look on harley
Comment: These bags fit very well on my Yamaha Roadstar. I really like the heat protection on the bottom panel. Ty-raps work better than the laces provided to anchor to the mounts. My only gripe is that when I logged in to do this review, the bags are on sale for $25.00 less than I paid!!!
NW Indiana
Comment: NICE STURDY BAGS, GREAT PRICE. DON'T FIT JUST RIGHT BUT NOT TO BAD WITH A FEW ADJUSTMENTS
Comment: I am very pleased with the saddlebags. They are well made, have a lot of useful features and are reasonably priced. I made supports from metal stock I purchased at the hardware store so they fit very securely.
H. Hazen
Marietta, GA
Comment: GREAT PRICE/ QUALITY/SIZE/ DELIVERY. JAFRUM YOU DID IT AGAIN. I HAVE THE LARGEST SCOOTER MADE (BURGMAN 650) SET UP WITH YOUR LARGE BAGS, & FRINGE HAND GRIPS, I RIDE WITH THE BIG BOYS. THESE BAGS REPLACE THE LARGE LEATHER BAGS I BOUGHT FROM YOU JUST A COUPLE OF MONTHS AGO. NOTHING AT ALL WRONG WITH THEM, JUST LIKED THESE WITH STUDS BETTER. MY SCOOTER LOOKS LIKE A LARGE POLICE BIKE THAT THE COPS IN THE PHOENIX AREA USE. ALWAYS HAPPY WITH YOUR QUALITY & SERVICE.
Comment: Great service, fast, saddlebags were much better than I expected at an awesome price!
Comment: I like the bags, but I make two points. The first is the string ties should be leather or another non-slipping material because they get loose. The other point is that should be another tie toward the front so the bags cannot be subjected to the wind and have them pull outward and pulling more on the lower ties. Great bag overall though and quick supply.
Dan Valentine
Comment: Nice bags and fast shipping!
Massena NY
Comment: Ordered these bags and 2 days later they were here. Easy to install on my husbands bike Suzuki Intruder 800. Loved them so much, ordered the same bags w/o studs for my bike. Thanks Jafrum you are the best! Will be back tomorrow to place another order for the sissybar bag.
Guyton, GA
Comment: Good product at a great price. Have been using for a couple of weeks on a 2007 Suzuki Boulevard M50 and have been very useful. I might have gone a little larger than needed but as I seldoma rider they work for me
Danny Q
Las Cruces NM
Comment: We bought these bags for my husbands Suzuki Intruder and he loves them! they are large enough to put his jacket and chaps in, as well as more. after shopping leather shops for bags, we found most do not have much room, yet these are perfect...and they look great! perfect service and price!
Jefferson, Maine
Comment: My Bike sits outside in the weather, so finding a good waterproof bag has been helpful. I am very pleased with the bags. They are exactly as described. They look great and really do the job.
Garland, TX
Comment: these bags are great fast delivery
gloria roberts
bartlett tn
Comment: I'm riding a 2003 Yamaha Roadstar 1600 and these are the perfect bags. The first ones were to narrow and held next to nothing. These are a good size w/o being oversized. Look great too.
Bob Zaccardi
Palm Coast, Fl
Comment: I was looking for replacement bags for my 1100 Shadow and these got my attention. The bags I had burned through the bottom from the heat generated from the exhaust pipe while riding bach from a trip to Michigan. You have to prefit the bags to your bike as I had to offset the holes in the through over flaps and they fit perfect and look great.
R Michael Clarey
Naples, Fl.
Comment: These bags look great on the bike. Alsmost like they were made for it. I removed the seat to put them on and tied the strings to the shocks and tail lights. The reamining string was tucked away under the velcro. These bags are pretty big. They should hold 2 gallons of milk each. I also got the iron cross pins which pushed through the outer flap easily enough. They look great and are a very nice compliment to the bike.
Comment: You will not find a better bag of this size, of this quality, for this price. Really like them.
Comment: I ordered these Motorcycle Saddlebags - 18Lx10.5Hx7.5W SD4068 Studs thinking they might be the cheap ones at such a low price. Just three days later they arrived, superfast shipping, and when I opened the package, was I suprised to find top quality bags that have a heavy duty zipper for easy removal and a pad lock for each bag. Was also suprised to find they have a hard backing plate on the backside of the bags so if I ever decide to mount them as hard bags, it will hold up. Great quality, fast shipping and the lowest price I have seen of all the internet searchs I did for saddlebags. Jafrum came through and I plan on making more of my purchases here for my 1600 Classic Vulcan.

Some people are shocked about what he said ("The collapse is coming... and Goldman Sachs rules the world"), while others think he was being refreshingly honest. And then there are those who think he's a complete phoney.
UPDATE: And it's true! He's a phoney. Or at least not a professional trader. According to Rastani himself, he's an "attention seeker."
EARLIER: They've suggested that he's a member of The Yes Men, a prank group that enjoys doing interviews posing as business leaders or bankers. Both Rastani and the group have denied that he has any affiliation.
We'll let you decide, but by our estimation, he looks like a real trader. Here's his Youtube channel, where he promotes his Facebook fan page and his website, LeadingTrader.com.
He describes himself as an, "experienced stock market trader and mentor. Keynote speaker on share trading and spreadbetting. Husband and all round nice guy."
Importantly, we were not able to find out whether or not he's ever been backed by any professional firm, or any account of his past trading record.
UPDATE: The Telegraph published an interview with Rastani where he admits that he's a casual trader and that The BBC contacted him because he's an "investment speaker." Public speaking is his true passion and he owns a business called Santoro Projects where he does just that.
"They approached me," he told The Telegraph. "I'm an attention seeker. That is the main reason I speak. That is the reason I agreed to go on the BBC. Trading is a like a hobby. It is not a business. I am a talker. I talk a lot. I love the whole idea of public speaking."
Regardless, Rastani said that he meant every word that he said.
Now here's what we found earlier today just by digging around on the internet (mostly from Forbes):
- 34 year old Allesio Rastani lives (and was raised) in London and has traded "for real" since 2006. He's independent, though he once worked for an unknown institution for a while, but realized he didn't want to have a boss.
- He says he lost money in the dot com boom
- In terms of trading, Rastani claims to be totally "obsessed" but likes to keep things simple. He has rules and he follows them, he hates risk and mostly trades on the Dow, some forex, and very liquid stocks.
- As you may have guessed, he's into trading on volatility and trends.
- He uses TradeStation (in case you're wondering), and trades the first two hours of the NYSE and the last one or two hours of the Euro markets.
- Some traders he admires (all public personalities): Linda Raschke, Guy Cohen, and Carolyn Boroden.
- On his interview yesterday: "I think it's overblown. I have no idea why I'm getting this attention. I don't think it was news. For someone to say what I said, I thought everybody already knew this kind of stuff. The big players of funds rule the world, I don't think that was news. And what I said about making money from a crash, obviously not everybody knows about that, you can make money from a downward market. A lot of people just got the wrong end of the foot, misunderstood what I was saying. They thought I was joyful or licking my lips about the idea of making money from people's miseries. That's probably the way it looked on the video. But if they watch the whole video, what I was really trying to say is people need to educate themselves about how to do that… what I was trying to say was, look, everyone should basically prepare. I was trying to be the good guy. If this market's going to crash, then you've got to prepare yourself.."
- "Angels and Demons" is one of his favorite books, he likes watching movies, and he counts Lady Gaga and Nickelback (woof) among some of his favorite musicians.
We've tried contacting him for an interview. If he gets back to us, we'll be sure to update this post with everything we find out.

I took a look around the energy space and uncovered six stocks that I think are must-own names. Here they are plus some commentary on each.
ATP Oil & Gas (ATPG) is an energy company that engages in the acquisition, development, and production of oil and natural gas properties in the Gulf of Mexico, the United Kingdom, and the Dutch sectors of the North Sea. It has a market cap of $796 million and a P/E of -1.97. The company reported a first quarter 2011 earnings loss of $119.55 million. The company has lost money in its last eight quarters. Also, ATP Oil & Gas has a three-year sales growth of -20%.
ATP Oil & Gas has traded in a 52-week range of between $9.04 and $21.40. The stock is currently trading in the middle of its trading range at $15.50. The stock price is below both its 50-day and 200-day moving averages. This company's earnings and stock price have both have shifted downward in no small part to British Petroleum's (BP) difficulties in the Gulf last year; however, production and earnings forecasts show a reversal in that trend. I would have to see some good news before I would consider buying this stock.
Exxon Mobile (XOM) engages in the exploration and production of crude oil and natural gas and manufacture of petroleum products, as well as transportation and sale of crude oil, natural gas, and petroleum products. With a market cap of $4,411.97 billion,To continue reading, click here.

Initiating Rare Disease Drug Discovery Projects
Organic Light Emitting Diodes (OLEDs): Technologies and Global Markets
2012 China Synthesis Polypeptide Drug Industry Market Research Report
The automotive industry is being revolutionized by technological innovation. The performance of vehicles, safety and comfort are being improved by using automotive sensors in various systems including air bags, tire pressure monitoring and vehicle stabilization control. Most of these innovations have been through improved electronics and advanced sensors, using technologies like silicon micro-engineering, thick film, capacitive, variable reluctance, optical and radar. New applications are emerging particularly in emission control and safety areas, apart from the sensors already being used for oil pressure, coolant temperature, vehicle speed and fuel level. The sensors field has become more challenging regarding robustness, reliability, quality and finally cost. This report will look at the various sensors used in an automobile, the global and regional market for these sensors, and their applications.
Increased demand for convenience, comfort, safety, efficiency and environmental protection drives the automotive sensor market. Sensors integrated with electronics, communications and computer intelligence are poised for a growth surge. "Smart sensors" or "intelligent sensors" are integrated sensors with intelligence and will be used in conjunction with all types of devices.
