14 Ways to Decorate with Vintage Pieces in Your Bathroom
Despite being small, bathrooms can be the trickiest to decorate. We find ourselves thinking wisely about every decision, since this room holds a captive audience. If you're looking for a little country or vintage charm in your bathroom, try recycling or repurposing something you may already have. Here are 14 ways you can use vintage items to decorate your bathroom:
This look fits right in at a country house, cottage, or rustic space, but it also works if you just want to add touches of the past in a more modern home.
1. An old step ladder makes use of awkward, under-the-sink space to store towels and decor, as seen on Eclectically Vintage.
2 & 3. Try mixing and matching some vintage mirrors instead of buying a new one (seen in this Apartment Therapy House Tour) or display a collection of vintage frameless mirrors (featured in Heart Home Magazine).
4. Take a vintage chair and give it a whole new life as a shelf and towel rack, spotted on Curbly.
5. Vintage chairs in a modern bathroom add some character and are great for displaying towels, as seen on The Marion House Book.
6 & 7. Take a vintage dresser (featured on HGTV) or antique table (from Better Homes & Gardens) and turn them into bathroom vanities for some true "bathroom furniture."
8. Vintage crates make for versatile storage as boxes or shelving, spotted on Real Simple.
9. These charming antique drawers are something you may come across at a flea market and not know what to use them for. They make great stylish storage to keep your bathroom essentials organized, as seen on HGTV.
10. Repurpose an old cabinet into towel and linen storage like this one featured on a past Apartment Therapy roundup.
11. An old suitcase is a charming way to store or display bathroom accessories for your guests, spotted on Country Living.
12. Vintage door knobs make great towel hooks. Use all the same, as seen on this example from Martha Stewart, or mix and match some flea market finds.
13. A vintage ladder is the perfect towel rack, and the best part for renters is that you can take it with you when you move. This example is from Better Homes & Gardens.
14. Repurpose some old shutters as doors to a medicine cabinet for some character, like this one featured on Better Homes & Gardens.

Really like these!
Number 10 is an Ikea Hemnes linen cabinet in yellow. Not exactly vintage. :)
Love some of these. Particularly love the floor in the first shot and the non-matching mirrors in the second.
But isn't #10 the Ikea Hemnes cabinet, not a vintage piece?
We just created a tiny bathroom for my kids, and the plumber used up all the budget I had, so I got creative with hand-me-downs for the decor: I found a beautiful old wicker basket my great-great-grandmother used for fishing, and stock up all the spare soaps in it. For lighting, I used the lamp my grand-mother had in a former bathroom of hers: I love them much more than anything I could find in stores !
The bathroom is the size of a walk-in closet so I can't put too much in there, but I'm reusing an old frame to hang up an alphabet my kids and I created with paint and decoupage. I don't mind if it gets humidity, and the frame was sitting in the basement.
If we ever get to redo our master bathroom, I'm going the vintage way, it's so beautiful ! I'm stalking unframed mirrors from now on.
I like all of these because I like incorporating vintage finds in general but my common sense tells me that the vintage pieces that are installed as part of the the bathroom could be problematic over the long run. I prefer to add vintage items as decor that can be easily switched out, and leave the long term design choices more conventional.
I understand liking old (honest! I do), but I don't understand liking cruddy. Peeling paint, splinters, and often the dirt of the ages embedded in every crack and crevice - why would I want an old stepladder in my bathroom?
That said, I do like the upside down chair and the glass knobs.
There are some pretty things here! Now I just need a bigger bathroom. <GRIN>
I have to wonder at the wisdom of a glass vase (mason jar in #1) on an easily-kicked step stool on a tile floor. But it's pretty -- probably pretty enough that it explains the prevalence of plastic replica mason jars.
Hmmm Number 10 is not vintage it is Ikea. I use this same piece as storage for my sewing supplies.
agreed a lot of these skeeve me out.
that said, WASHABLE vintage stuff like ceramic spatterware are great
The suitcase as storage is cute, but probably not suited for damp baths.
I use an art deco ceramic cup as my toothbrush holder. Nice to know it is nearly 100 years old, and I've yet to break it.

I keep my cotton balls and swabs in vintage blue Mason jars. It is a pain when they're running low and I have to unscrew the kid and turn the jar upside down to shake one out, but oh well, they're pretty.
Unscrew the lid, my goodness.
I love no. 5
love these ideas! I used a vintage baluster as a toilet paper holder in my bathroom. Works like a charm. see Instagram@mymoonsalvage
A lot of these look really cute for the magazine spreads, but there is a reality about bathrooms- dust, hairs, & moisture/mold. So, old crates stacked on the floor with cute little boxes & rolls of toilet paper stored inside (#8) don't look so great after balls of dusty hair & baby powder get all over everything. Same goes for the cute vintage suitcases & drawer/boxes used as catch-alls. Everyone on AT talks about keeping things easy to clean & organized (especially in bathrooms), and about "how to make small spaces appear bigger". But when a small, easily dirtied, difficult to clean space such as a bathroom is cluttered up with paint peeling, splinter inducing wooden furniture & crates it becomes even more cluttered, dirty, & difficult to clean. In spaces with limited storage space the first thing to consider is "do I really need ALL this makeup, perfumes, & hair care products?" Keeping in the bathroom only the things you really need on an everyday basis goes a long way toward clearing up your space. One or two pretty perfume or nail polish bottles can look nice- an overflowing basketful of random, rarely used dusty perfume & nail polish bottles looks junky. A lot of people complained that the cabinet in #10 isn't vintage. I think that the point is it looks vintage for the purpose of the "look" and can satisfy the need for storage space. A "vintage look" can be achieved with a few accents- like the glass door knobs (which I myself have actually used in the past when I've lived in places with claw foot tubs), or a mirror, a pretty vase full of hydrangeas (a flower I truly adore for it's vintage look!). But the more stuff you keep adding into a bathroom the more stuff you late have to dust off!!! The more stuff that has the chance to get moldy & tangled with hair!!! Keep the bathroom as streamlined as possible- meaning clutter-free.
Agree with ecuadoriana. Those vases are begging to be knocked over with a hairdryer cord. Otherwise, nice staging. Some clever ideas for a large bathroom.
I only use vintage pieces for my "smalls." I have a pretty cranberry transferware egg cup with a lovely rose pattern for tweezers, nail scissors, emery boards. I have a hand-painted porcelain jar with lid for cotton balls. I have a vintage (although I bought it new mumbly years ago) Laura Ashley ceramic jar with lid for cotton swabs. I have water glass made from an old seltzer water bottle.
Everything else goes into closed cabinet storage. Why would I want my clean towels getting all damp and dusty??? I've never understood that.
I too echo the sentiments regarding moisture an vintage. I have a glass top cream and sugar set that my mother used for VERY special occasions. I have it on a shelf with cotton balls and tips in it. It's glass and in a place probably safe from the husband "knock over". On my weekly bath clean just remove wipe and reset. viola. If you value it or it has true value do not use in the bath. Bad idea IMHO
My new house is very modern and I want to add some character, definitely using some of these ideas in our master bathroom.

Mayor Abramson Unveils Golf Cart Discount Card, Celebrates Completion of Sun Valley's Cart Path
Tuesday July 1, 2003
Louisville golfers may find their next trip to one of the nine Metro Parks golf courses a little more affordable, thanks to a new golf cart discount card unveiled today by Mayor Jerry Abramson. People who frequent Sun Valley Golf Course will also find that their golf carts ride a little smoother, thanks to a new paved cart path on the first nine holes. Fourteenth District Councilman Robert Henderson joined Mayor Abramson and Metro Parks officials to celebrate Sun Valley's new cart path.
The new golf cart discount card is available for $50, and is valid for the calendar year in which it was purchased. With the card, golfers can rent a golf cart for $8, an average savings of $4. The passes are available during normal weekday business hours at the Metro Parks Athletics Office, 1297 Trevilian Way – across from the Louisville Zoo in Joe Creason Park. For more information, call (502) 456-8134 or e-mail email@example.com.
Sun Valley's new cart path, completed in about three weeks at a cost of $60,000, replaces a gravel path installed several years ago by Metro Parks staff. Speaking at the cart path dedication, Mayor Abramson said: "As I campaigned for mayor – in district dialogues and other meetings in this area – I heard time and again about the need to pave the cart path at Sun Valley. I promised to get it done. Today, I'm pleased to tell you that we've kept that promise."
"This is the only 18-hole public course in southwest Louisville, and the golfers who play this course on a regular basis deserved a paved cart path," said Councilman Henderson. "I'm pleased that Metro Government was able to deliver it so quickly."
Sun Valley Golf Course has origins as a country club. Jefferson County Fiscal Court purchased it in 1968 and re-opened it as a public course. It was expanded to 18 holes in 1997, thanks in part to Bud Basham, a local resident who donated acreage so the new holes could be added. The golf course is part of a 118-acre park that also includes a community center, summer swimming pool and athletic fields.
Metro Parks operates nine public golf courses. The system's 18-hole courses are Iroquois, Long Run, Seneca, Shawnee, Sun Valley, and Charlie Vettiner. The 9-hole courses are Cherokee, Crescent Hill, and Bobby Nichols in Waverly Park.
Metro Parks provides safe, diverse park and recreational facilities and programs for public use and preserves green space and other resources for future enjoyment. With responsibility for 122 parks covering more than 13,500 acres, Metro Parks operates and maintains Louisville/Jefferson County Metro Government's parks, forests and recreation facilities.

Ranged Filter Queries
In the absence of joins, it is critical that we can do a ranged filter, using something like
select object.clientid from bucket where object.objectid IN (123,432,543)
In this way we can perform two synchronous calls to get the data we need from two linked documents. My workaround was to use OR notation and I've posted seperately about how this does not currently use indexes and as such is too slow for our purposes.
1 Answer
In the future we will optimize predicates with a set of keys. so if you say where Key=abc or Key=xyz, the query can use the primary key instead of performing a table scan. Optimizing the IN clause will likely be a while, but I think optimizing the WHERE clause for specific keys will be very helpful. We have feedback that this is a common use case.

A little about me...
I never thought I would be doing this. I havent been in the dating sceen for 40 years. Could be interesting.I'm sure its gonna be like a box of chocolates cause I sure dont know what the heck I am doing or the first thing about looking for a Girl. I hope some of you Ladies can help me out on this. I havent had to do this because I was happily married for 19 years untill she was taken from me by Breast Cancer But I realize now that she was only on loan to me by God and I thank him every day for her. But I also realize that life goes on and there are a lot of things left to do out there and I really dont think a lot of those things are a lot of fun doing by yourself.So here I go and I hope this works out allright.
About the one I'm looking for...
I really dont know for sure. I dont have a lot of preferences I would like to meet someone that can accept my past and be understanding of it. And will understand that memories will be there forever no matter what. Just as I will understand that you will have memories of your past that will always be there. We will both have to seek that life that for some reason was denied us and make our own life that is full of Love and respect for each other and maybe we can be the couple that we really miss and want. God has a plan for everybody and maybe together we will find it. One thing I will say because I know it will make a difference I believe in God and that Jesus is his son. I dont go to church as much as I should but I will be ready when he comes back for me. I am much happier in a Church Pew than on a bar stool. I will not push my beliefs on any one so don't let them stop you from contacting me. I just want you to know that I believe in God.
I'd just like to add...
I consider myself to be one of the luckiest people in the world to be blessed with three of the most Fantastic Kids in the world. Who all have real good jobs and famalies and are all very productive members of our society.

By Jason A. email@example.com The owner of a dog, who was reported missing last week in Hampton, says she is ecstatic to have her pride and joy back home safely. Kathrine Osborne-Lee's 10-year-old Yorkshire Terrier, named Buffy, was returned to her Saturday. The dog was reportedly taken from Lee's front yard while her disabled husband, Gary, watched from inside the house. Buffy is reportedly the latest in a number of cases involving the disappearance of a Yorkie. When Buffy went missing, the Lees notified the Henry County Police Department, and spent the next five days fearing what had happened to her. Their sorrow turned to joy with one phone call. "A young lady called my house, and told me she had found Buffy," says Osborne-Lee. "I just screamed." The dog owner arranged to meet the girl's family, at which point she discovered Buffy had picked up a stowaway in her time away from home. "The girl said they had to take her to the vet, because Buffy had a tick and they had to get it off her," explains Osborne-Lee. Lee expressed gratitude for the prayers and well wishes she has received from members of the community since the dog's disappearance. She says she is "praying" for the owners of other lost Yorkies in Henry to have their dogs brought back to them. Osborne-Lee plans to take measures to protect Buffy in the future, by having a locator chip placed under the dog's skin.

It must be the boots.
Justin Bennee is known for his smooth style and massive gaps, so it's no wonder that he laces up the Nike Zoom Force 1 Men's Snowboard Boot when he hits the streets. The Air Force 1-inspired sole is low-profile for superior board feel and flexibility, and Zoom Air cushioning absorbs shock on big drops.
Traditional lacing with Lace Lock allows you to independently adjust the
tightness of the upper and lower zones of the boot so you can dial it
in just how you like it. A medium flex makes it tweakable enough for steezing out grabs without compromising the support needed to handle huge gaps. The liner is heat-moldable for a custom fit, and internal liner lacing keeps your heel locked in to reduce fatigue. Space blanket technology under the footbed reflects heat back to your foot to help it stay warmer for longer. The ZF1 phylon outsole is lighter than rubber and provides better rebound, and it has a Zoom Air heel cushion to absorb harsh impacts and protect your feet from big drops and overshot landings.

Hi, I wanted to know if there has been any changes to the size or bulkiness of the Nike zoom force one snowboard boot for 2014, I have been using nike Kaijus for a couple of seasons, but i want to try the zoom force one out, although i can't get my hands on any of the to see the difference for myself. I know in the past few years people have complained that the zoom force one is long, bulky and has a big profile, and using a big size this can me a problem as i do not like riding wide boards (although many "experts" say i should). The reason i ask, is because on the description of the boot that i have seen i a couple of places it says "The Air Force 1-inspired sole is low-profile for superior board feel and flexibility...." but does this just refer to the thickness of the sole, or that the boot now has a lower and smaller profile than before? because in the past years i don't think they have mentioned this feature. Sorry of all the questions but i can find any quality reviews for this boot anywhere

- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
I got the boots cause I'm tired of seeing everyone with the same 32 or burton boots. So i got the crispy looking white ones.
They look awesome. I wear size 11.5 or 12 shoes and my last boots were 13, The largest I could go on these was 12 so I gave it a shot. I was a little nervous and it was a bit tight on my toes, but after a day or two of riding on them, they formed nicely to my feet.
They feel awesome to wear and I tightened them pretty tight lower and upper but I will start riding them a tad looser for that flexibility I need for the park.
I would recommend buying a half size bigger but I think true sizing is okay. NOTE: I have wide feet with no arch and these still molded nicely.
Highly recommend -

How do you a solve a problem like attention-seeking, intentionally button-pushing media leeches? It's the question many of us have been asking ourselves this week in response to Ann Coulter's choice of insensitive words (or one word in particular) for President Barack Obama and Donald Trump's ""bombshell"" full of hot air regarding the POTUS.
It's not by ignoring them (however tempting that may be) or writing rants about their contributions to society. It's not even by writing them thoughtful, kind letters or peace offers that more than likely don't even scratch the surface in thawing their cold hearts. No, the solution is this: have Stephen Colbert offer to tea bag them for $1 million given to the charity of their choice.
During Wednesday night's installment of The Colbert Report, the host matched Trump's offer to Obama to release his college records and application, as well as his passport application, by ""5 in the afternoon"" (wait... what?) on October 31 (because, as Colbert put it, he's ""renting out his enormous orange head as a Jack O' Lantern"") and he'd donate $5 million to a charity. Colbert's offer was similar to Trump's, only instead of demanding to have Trump's documents released to him, he offered ""if you let me dip my balls in your mouth"" he'd give $1 million from the Colbert Super Pac to the charity of choice.
""Nothing would make me happier than to write this check,"" Colbert told Trump, ""and nothing would make America happier than to have something going into your mouth instead of coming out of it."" This is how you solve that problem, people.
Watch the hilarious, balls-to-the-wall, albeit fairly NSFW offer here:

"Ordered these in black to wear to my daughter's wedding with long evening dress. Able to wear them dancing through the whole night. Can't say my feet didn't hurt when I took them off but I truly danced all night and I have terrible feet so the fact I was able to keep the on was amazing. They are very pretty too! Would look good with short dress as well."

GREEN BAY, WI (WTAQ) - The newest and among the largest VA clinics in the nation is set to open in Green Bay on Monday.
A ribbon cutting ceremony was held Thusday for hundreds of veterans.
The new $60 million Milo C. Huempfner VA Outpatient Clinic is more than 20 times the size of the old clinic in Green Bay.
Around 95% of care for veterans can be done on site, eliminating the need for thousands of veterans to travel down to Milwaukee.
The clinic has been a long time coming, with the VA department looked at over 50 sites for a new clinic.
Around 20,000 veterans are expected to visit the clinic annually.
The new VA clinic is located at 2851 University Avenue.

TORONTO - Adriano Belli is getting a retirement gift from the CFL -- and he won't like it.
The league announced Friday that the recently retired Toronto Argonauts defensive lineman will be fined an undisclosed amount for rough play during the 100th Grey Cup.
Belli was ejected in the third quarter of the Argonauts' 35-22 win over Calgary last Sunday for grabbing and twisting the arm of Calgary centre Jon Gott.
That was essentially the end of Belli's career. He came out of retirement during the season to help shore up the Argos' defence and hung up his cleats again after the Grey Cup.
Belli's roughness wasn't limited to the Stampeders' offensive line. He also broke the Grey Cup during the Argos' victory celebration.

An emotional, yet joyous welcome home after an unimaginable ordeal. After spending days stranded on the Carnival Triumph, Jim and Jeanne Pearson are thankful to be alive.
"I feel gratitude to God for keeping us safe and sane, so we could come home and see our family again," said Jeanne Pearson.
A fire in the engine room left the ship without power. Then a snapped towline delayed the Triumph's arrival in Alabama. As a result, the Pearsons, along with more than 4, 200 passengers, were left to contend with horrible conditions. There was no air conditioning, food was running low, and there was no connection to the outside world for days. That was only the beginning.
"All the sewage started running through the drains and started running into the room. Our carpet was saturated, so we had to move out just immediately," said Jim Pearson.
Like so many passengers, the Pearsons moved their mattresses out onto the deck and huddled together to stay warm. For the couple who'd been married for 49 years, there were moments when they wondered if they would make it to 50.
"We thought if we were going to die, we were going to die together. Some people thought that was dark, but that was reality," said Jeanne.
The Pearsons say they were never separated for more than a few minutes at a time. They say their devotion to each other helped them get through this ordeal. They also credit their faith.
"It's not luck. It just God's grace that we're here today," said Jeanne.
"You could sense His presence," said Jim.
The Pearsons say Carnival has promised them a voucher for another cruise. They say this cruise was their first and will be their last. In the future, they plan to spend their vacations on solid ground.

Madonna is leading the revolution of women over 45 spreading their crotches in photo shoots. Julianne Moore joined the revolution by letting out her crotch for the cover of May's Vogue Paris.
Julianne Moore could spread her ass cheeks and I would still be all over it. This woman can do no wrong. Although, I see a little copper wire popping out of her panties. Joooking.
She has a look on her face that is telling me she needs to push a queef out. Release it! The panties can take it. Even if they can't take it, a little strawberry panty pudding never hurt anyone.

2 In Custody Following Brief Pursuit In Mt. Juliet
MT. JULIET, Tenn. – Two people were taken into custody Thursday morning following a brief pursuit in Mt. Juliet.
Mt. Juliet Police said an officer attempted to stop a 1996 Toyota Camry on Interstate 40 westbound for a traffic violation around 7:15 a.m. The driver did not stop, and led officers into Davidson County for a brief time before turning around and heading east on I-40.
An officer deployed a spike system in front of the car near the Mt. Juliet Road interchange, which deflated two of the tires and disabled the vehicle.
"The quicker we can get the pursuit stopped the safer it is for the person running from us, the officer and the public," said Sgt. Tyler Chandler with the Mt. Juliet Police Department.
Officers were able to take the driver and passenger into custody without incident.
"(The officer) was able to deploy the spike strip and ensured it only hit the offender that was fleeing," he added.
The driver, 51-year-old Edward Judkins of Smithville, was charged with evading and reckless endangerment. His passenger, 41-year-old Candida Driver also of Smithville, was arrested on existing warrants for evading and failure to appear in court in DeKalb County.
Police said Driver also tried to conceal a bag of marijuana in her underpants, but it was discovered by medical personnel. She was also charged with simple possession of a scheduled IV drug.
A court date was set for both on May 13.

Moonbows: Lunar Rainbows in Yosemite National Park (Video)OMG, Timelapse — By Dave on 2011/07/16 1:15 AM
A moonbow (or a lunar rainbow) is a rainbow produced by moonlight reflected from droplets of water.
Compared with daytime rainbows, moonbows are relatively faint, due to the smaller amount of light reflected from the surface of the moon. They form in the opposite part of the sky from the moon.
Yosemite National Park is one of the greatest places in the world to see a moonbow thanks to the park's spectacular waterfalls. One of those waterfalls, Yosemite Falls, is famous for its rare moonbows.
Filmmaker Steven M. Bumgardner produced a short film about this rare phenomena in Yosemite National Park.

text: Today, I enjoyed connecting via Skype with a group of practitioners and students from Southwestern Missouri regarding what is happening on Capitol Hill, health care reform implementation and advocacy. I love being able to connect with practitioners across the country using the technology at our fingertips and increase the awareness of what is happening in the policy arena that will impact occupational therapy. Health care reform implementation shifting to the states is a great reminder as to the importance of membership in AOTA and the state associations. Our associations give us a professional voice, keep us informed, and are the power we need to drive occupational therapy into the future.

The Inov-8 f-lite 230 is a bare-bones shoe that's all about providing your feet with a bit of grip and protection on roads and hard-pack.
The Inov-8 f-lite 230 takes on roads, rocks and hard-packed trails with glee. We found the 230 to be light enough for trail or road racing and sturdy enough to handle everything from daily training to tempo runs and intervals.
You don't get cushioning in this shoe and you don't benefit from all that much structure in the upper, either. Testers categorized the 230 as a bare-bones race shoe - and a narrow one at that. All testers found the fit to be snug, with one tester reporting a hotspot on the lateral midfoot by the 5th metatarsal.
The 230 delivered a protective ride, which was what testers expected, along with a transition that was a little slappy at times, which was unexpected. Still, the shoe is very friendly to mid or forefoot strikers who want to feel the ground, and offers just enough traction for a runner to feel sure-footed on firm ground.
"For as hard as this shoe is, it offers a very smooth ride."
"I liked the fit everywhere except the heel, which felt a bit loose for me without an easy way to tighten up the fit."
"The platform, toe guard and overlays all feel very durable."

Casper's House
When you add a service reference in Visual Studio (or use the ServiceModel Metadata Utility Tool (Svcutil.exe)) it generates a proxy for you which derives from the ClientBase<TChannel> class. This class implements the IDisposable interface, the implementation of which is basically a call to the Close method on the ICommunicationObject implementation.
The problem is that when calling Close if an exception is thrown because of a problem with the channel (in the form of a CommunicationException) or because of a timeout (in the form of a TimeoutException), or any other exception, the ClientBase<TChannel> isn't properly disposed of.
Because of this, Microsoft has a recommended pattern for the closing of implementations of ICommunicationObject:
catch (CommunicationException e)
catch (TimeoutException e)
catch (Exception e)
(taken from the section of the MSDN documentation titled "Avoiding Problems with the Using Statement", located at http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa355056.aspx)
Obviously, this prevents one from using the using statement to easily manage their proxy instance and can get pretty tedious if you are using proxies in multiple areas of your code. It would be ideal to encapsulate this to some degree.
To that end, I present the CommunicationObjectExtensions class:

So the Evo 2009 Championship Series has come and gone and all that I or anyone can say is "WOW". Being my first Evo, I didn't know what to expect. Little did I know it would provide an experience greater than anything I could have imagined.
Everything there was simply intense from competing in the tournament, to watching the matches, even those in games that were not Street Fighter IV (HD Remix, for example).
If the tournament and the matches were the all that one experienced at Evo it would be a complete experience, but that's not where it ended for me. The social aspect of Evo is what really made the experience a special one for me. There were so many new relationships formed, as well as the rekindling of already established ones.
Mix all of that in the boiling cauldron that was Las Vegas that weekend (it was 110° when I arrived at the airport) and you have a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Except that this experience is one that can reoccur every year.
Street Fighter IV Tournament
Of course I couldn't write a blog detailing Street Fighter IV knowledge and not compete at Evo. To prepare myself, I've been going to smaller tournaments in the NYC area to get myself comfortable with competing in tournaments.
I need this because I get really bad tournament jitters. Fortunately, while playing in the tournament at Evo (even though I was in what I like to call the "black bracket of death" or "pool of death") I was quite comfortable. I'm grateful for this because now I hope to feel more comfortable with tournaments I go to in the future.
I also struggled to set reasonable expectations before the tournament. If one hasn't been to an Evo before, what possible frame of reference do they have when it comes to setting expectations? As a result, I decided to play it safe and be ok with the idea of going two-and-out (0-2). If I set my expectations any higher, I ran the risk of ruining the rest of my weekend because I failed to meet my expectations.
In retrospect, I could have had a better way of thinking. What I really should have done is to put everything I can into every match and let the rest work itself out.
Fortunately, I was relatively calm (much more than I was in previous tournaments) and at any time able to focus only on the next match. And as a result, ended up going 3-2 in pool four, the results of which are posted here:
Once all of that tournament nonsense was done, I was able to focus on the social aspect which of course results in the shout-outs:
Kineda – Little did I know that ordering a shirt from you for Evo would result in not only a ton of recognition for me, but the start of a great friendship.
I couldn't begin to describe the amount of attention that the shirt brought me. People from my non-Street Fighter life even took notice of it, as well as a number of people that follow me on Twitter. Hopefully, I pimped it enough to make up for the amount of attention I got because of it!
Beyond that, from the initial meet-and-greet we put together the night before the tournament to the casuals that we had after we were eliminated from the tournament, to you using my crappy-ass laptop late into the evening the night before my flight and everything in between, thank you, I'm definitely looking forward to hanging out again.
Damdai - You are part of the reason that my voice is so hoarse, cheering for you in the HDR finals against Alex Valle, you also achieved your goal of getting out of qualifiers for Street Fighter IV. You play a big part in fueling my passion for Street Fighter IV today, I never thought that it would be what it is today when we were playing Street Fighter II in Vinny's almost two decades ago. I'm very proud of you, and am thankful that we've reconnected after all this time.
Grancalc – I'm very glad that gootecks introduced us back in April and that we reconnected at Evo. I'm also incredibly impressed in your run in the Street Fighter IV tournament, which put you on the main stage twice! It was great to chill with you again, and I'm glad it turns out we have some mutual interests which we can work together on.
Seb – I hadn't heard from you in a while, and I was quite surprised to see you at Evo (even though I shouldn't have been). I'm hoping that some of the connections that you made at Evo help further your projects, and I'm hoping we can help each other in the very near future.
Gootecks – As always, good to see you again.
Andre – VEGAS BABY!!!! Seriously, if Las Vegas was the candy store, you were the kid in it. It was great to see you experience Vegas for the first time, but beyond that, you put on an amazing show against Mike Watson with your Bison to finally prove what everyone else but the East Coast just didn't know; that you are the best Dictator in the country. I'm looking forward to further adventures in NYC.
Nana and Riley - it's good to see Riley become a new convert after watching the weekends events. You two were incredibly fun to hang out with, and gave me a new perspective of what happens after one more drink.
Sweet Johnny Cage – Meeting you, Mary, and Carlos was a lot of fun, and I gained some valuable information for my future endeavors which I have you to thank for.
Joe "iloveyou" Ciaramelli - "George Washington is a$$ compared to Bruce Lee". One of the funniest things I heard during Evo. Thank you for the discussion about Sagat, as well as showing me the value of the fake kick while you were playing on the main stage (it's something I haven't integrated into my game yet).
David Spooky – Glad to have met you at dinner, as well as play some casuals with you as well. Don't let what I was pointing out to you during casuals get you down, it is meant to help you level up your game.
Citiofbrass - While I appreciate those that are passionate about the game, you have an additional passion which I share when it comes to the Street Fighter IV community. I definitely look forward to talking more about community concepts back in NYC.
Marcus – I can't believe it took you two hours before you mentioned that you developed the Cthulhu dual-mod board!
LecanardZero - Thank you for showing me just how hungry the Northwest is, and we will definitely reconnect when I'm up in Seattle next.
Dogface – Even though there were a few times that I ran into which were inopportune you had a smile on your face each and every time. It's great to see someone so genuinely nice, happy, and passionate about this community. I just wish I signed up for your X-Men vs. Street Fighter tournament.
Tatsujinken - You sent me to losers with one of the most knowledgeable, technical, proficient Claw play I've ever seen, an observation justified by the fact that you made it out of our pool as a winner. On top of that, you let me know that it wasn't free mode an then you were gracious enough to talk to me about the matchup later which basically leveled up my game against Claw. I look forward to some more conversations about the game in the future.
koome- You were my first match in the tournament, as well as my fourth match. Even though I won both of them, you came at me hard in both matches, and I can say with confidence that they were the hardest matches in the bracket (especially the second one, you were hungry to get back at me, and really kept me on my game). Thank you for the great competition.
ll.nd- Thanks for giving me the crash course in Tatsunoko vs. Capcom, I definitely put it to good use when I was playing at San Diego Comic Con.
John Choi - You were really cool when I introduced myself to you and I remembered what you told me when I said I expected to go 0-2, you said I'd do just fine; you know what, I did. Thank you.
Seth Killian - Meeting you was great and the enthusiasm you expressed behind my idea for the community was encouraging, I appreciate the support and re-presenting my idea in the very near future.
This is just a short list of the people that I met. There were so many more, more than I could possibly mention. To all of those that I have and have not mentioned, thank you to contributing to what is to me an amazing experience.

What else needs to be said?
(Actually, watch the live stream here: http://evo2k.com/live)
Good luck to everyone competing this weekend!
Evolution Fighting Tournament 2009
Well, I'm officially registered for the Evolution 2009 Championship Series in Street Fighter 4. My greatest hope? To not peace out. I'll definitely be taking pictures, tweeting and hopefully doing a little blogging during the event, so keep an eye out here, as well as my Twitter feed:
I've also been fortunate to reconnect with someone from my past, Damdai. It's funny, because we first started playing Street Fighter II together as children, and now he's come very far in the game (particularly in ST and HDR, and definitely making his way in IV). It's been especially great to reconnect with him because of our shared past and our current shared interests.
And of course, it doesn't hurt to have a known player to spar with to help with leveling up.
Pianoing vs. Double-Tapping
A number of people that are coming from other Street Fighter games are used to the concept of pianoing (i.e. hitting multiple buttons in rapid succession in order to have a greater chance of registering the input of that button type). However, in SF4, it's not the best of ideas. Because SF4 has such a large input window (the amount of time that the game will wait before registering your input), it will actually execute EX moves most of the time when you try to execute them.
Instead, use double-tapping, as Gootecks shows in this X-Play video on G4 TV (it's the second tip in the movie):
Online Play and Autofire
Well, I've always had my suspicions about online play, about the nature of disconnects as well as whether or not people were using macros or enhancements. It's refreshing, and scary to know at the same time that I was right. There are videos, but unfortunately, they were taken down (I can't imagine why, there are tons of other SF4 videos on YouTube). But to give you an idea, here is the playlist:

Remember, when approaching the next level of anything, it becomes a game of diminishing returns. However, that slight advantage can mean all the difference in what you do.
During my matches with Damdai, some obvious deficiencies in my game were pointed out.
First, I need to learn to incorporate FADC into my game. I'm not taking advantage of the opportunity to land more damage (especially with Sagat's F+HK) when landing a first initial move (this goes hand-in-hand with the bread-n-butter combo mentioned later). This is applicable to all players, all characters.
After my stint at Evo, I'm going to switch to using a stick so I can do moves like this (and others) much more consistently.
Related to using FADC, I need to use Focus Attacks in general much more. I'm not utilizing the hit-absorption properties nearly as much. On top of that, it can be quite a surprise to people, often giving you the opportunity to land a free hit (at a price, of course). Add to that the fact that it can be used to get in on/away from an opponent and it's obvious there's a big piece missing in my game.
Second, on whiffed moves, I'm not resorting to using an Ultra Combo to punish often enough. It needs to be second nature.
This and the FADC improvements will also require greater monitoring of the meters in general, since FADC requires two EX bars. It's not that I don't watch it now, but my awareness has to increase.
Finally, when cornered (or not) and being crossed-up on, dashing is a technique that helps immensely. If done right, you can avoid damage completely, and more often than not, trade a hit and disrupt what would be a much longer chain of hits.
Ken is one of the characters that Damdai plays often, and while I knew that Ken had a kara-throw, I've never really seen it executed consistently (although we already know Gief can do it), which didn't give me much of a chance to learn how to counter it. However, Damdai brought me up to speed very quickly.
It's just pretty sick, and you can tell when it's being done by a kind of "glitch" (notice at 0:05 and 0:10) that occurs when you see the regular move cancelled into a throw:
When doing Sagat's LK->Tiger Knee, it's not safe on block against Ken if he does the MP SRK. It will hit cleanly if Ken uses any other button though.
Saki XL tells me that Boxer can be thrown out of his EX Dash Punches (and apparently on further research, he can be thrown out of his Ultra as well). I've yet to try this, but I think I might take a shot at it in practice mode today.
Sagat has a typical loop that after hitting an opponent that jumps in and hitting them with a HK, throwing a Tiger Shot Low for additional chip damage. However, the timing and spacing is such that if Boxer has enough Revenge Meter built up, he can consistently Ultra as a reverse and Sagat will still be in recovery from the Tiger Shot Low, making it a guaranteed hit.
Just like Chun-Li, the reaction now when Boxer has Ultra is to be VERY careful with throwing out a Tiger Shot. Again, it should only be done if there is forward movement, negating the charge.
Saki XL gets a special mention for being the first person that I've played to consistently use the EX cancel trick with Boxer in a match:
His execution and ability to use it effectively in a match is very consistent.
On top of that, he showed me a nifty little bait tactic that Boxer uses, where on knockdown he will do the TAP or the EX Buffalo Headbutt in order to bait a response, and since he finishes it early, will use a move with invulnerability in the beginning to punish (more often than not, an Ultra or Super combo).
Sagat's Ultra will beat out Boxer's Ultra if activated after Boxer activates the Ultra Combo. Better yet, Sagat and Boxer's frame data supports it.
When being rushed down by Boxer, blocking the Dash Punches can usually be countered by a Tiger Knee on response. However, if Boxer follows up with a cr.LP, using Sagat's cr.MP is usually a good response.
Thanks to karaleung for pointing out after reading my blog entry on Zangief's kara-throw that Gief has a short jump which can be used to cause anti-air attacks to whiff (i.e. Sagat's HK) which set him up perfectly for a grab/Ultra:
Rose can slide under Sagat's Tiger Shot Low with her cr.MK (I think it is the MK). However, on block of the cr.MK (or any of her slides) one can consistently counter with cr.LP->Tiger Shot Low and get chip damage (whereas she doesn't deliver chip damage with her slide).
If Sagat activates his Ultra Combo and then Gen activates his Ultra Combo in response, they will both trade one hit, and both Ultra combos will stop.
I've been getting the cr.LP->Low Tiger Shot much more consistently (as a response to people applying pressure) and it does wonders for getting pressure off, maximizing damage a little more (you get chip damage).
I'm also using the LK->Low Tiger Shot as well, but not as much. I find it particularly helpful in footsie matchups (Zangief in particular).
Damdai points out that I really need to get Sagat's BNB (i.e. bread-n-butter) combo down, the cr.LK->cr.LK->cr.LK->Tiger Uppercut, and he's right.
However, I believe that I still have great use for the cr.LP as a combo starter. On a whiff, I definitely believe that using cr.LK is a much more effective tool (since it can lead into the BNB), however, it's startup is too long in order to use it to keep pressure off. So now, I use the cr.LP to keep people away (comboing into Tiger Shot Low) and will try to use cr.LK on whiffs.
One interesting thing to point out is that it appears to me that Sagat's defensive hitbox for the cr.LK is much lower to the ground than the cr.LP, which I've found works particularly well in defending against Boxer's pressure game (Dash punches and the like), since it allows Sagat to get under some of Boxer's attacks. It's still risky because of the lengthier startup than the cr.LP, but there is an ample reward for that risk.
I happened across this match on YouTube between Daigo and Mago, and there are a lot of great takeaways from it for a Sagat player:

Championship Mode
It's been a while, as I've been busy with non-SF4-related activities, but I've also been consumed with Championship Mode.
I've finally achieved G1 ranking and the difference in competition between G1 and G2 is the same as the difference between night and day. The level of competition is just through the roof, and to be honest, I was getting my ass handed to me consistently in the first few matches, to the point where I thought I'd dip below the 15K GP mark.
I've never had so much fun losing in my life. Everyone knows the matchups and executes very well. One really has to be on their game to just exist at this level.
That being said, I can't imagine my game not getting better much quicker at this level.
Some things of note at G1:
I find it odd that the win for the competition gives you only 60% more GP than a loss. It seems disproportionate. I almost wouldn't mind losing at that level (as opposed to G2, where you only get half for a loss in the finals).
A lot of Boxer players are using an outstretched palm (not sure which attack it is) which stuffs a lot of Sagat's AA options. Other than altering spacing/timing, I haven't found a better AA option (with the exception of a Tiger Uppercut up close).
Some Chun players have taken to throwing a fireball, dashing forward once, and then using cr.HK when the opponent jumps over the fireball. The cr.HK seems to have very high priority here. I think that a well-timed MP on the way down (or a LK if actually jumping over her) would help here.
Now, when I see that she has her Revenge meter charged for an Ultra, I completely shut down the projectile game. Her Ultra can hit Sagat from across the screen on reaction. The take away from this is when Chun has Ultra, only throw a Tiger Shot when you see forward movement. The forward movement means that the charge has been lost so a Tiger Shot is safe to throw (but open to her jumping over it or throwing an EX projectile of her own, of course).
It just doesn't seem right that his Super Combo sets up the Ultra Combo.
I'm feeling much more comfortable with the matchup now, as there are more Gens online than there were before. The specific Gen that gave me so much trouble doesn't seem to be around much, but I'm faring much better against him now. Specifically, I figured out how to block the wall dive shenanigans.
Specifically, most Gens try to cross up on knockdown, and then if they knock you down again, do the wall dive from the opposite wall to try and get you from behind again. The best advice here is being able to differentiate between him jumping to cross you up or going to the opposite wall.
What confused me the most till now was that it seemed like I was being juggled with the wall dive after the knockdown. It seems like a stupid realization, but Gen moves in such odd ways that it's hard to pick up if you don't see it often, which, I don't, since I don't know many people online who play Gen.
A common bait that I see is to charge a Focus Attack just out of range. It actually pulls Dictator back a little, and then springs forward, so the sequence between Dictator and the opponent is typically:
The key here is to not be baited into attacking when being zoned by Dictator. In this case, I typically use the sounds of the Focus Attack building to remind me to not attack.
It's analogous to MLB umpires calling a force play at a base, they will have an eye on the base, and listen for the sound of the ball hitting the mitt of the defensive player. Whichever event occurs first (the foot on the base or the sound of the ball hitting the mitt) wins.
If you see Dhalsim flash (which indicates he is telporting), flash the elbow (i.e. LP). It will come out before any move he has after he appears near you. It's much safer than any other option, and with the low amount of health that Dhalsim has (only Seth and Gouki have less), it does enough.
It's very possible that Sagat's height plays a factor here, and that shorter characters (think Cammy here) would whiff because the offensive hitboxes are not high enough to hit Dhalsim out of the air when he teleports close.
I love grabbing him out of the Grab out of the Marseille Roll. A LOT of Abel players still don't know this.
If Ken does his Ultra Combo in reaction to Sagat's Ultra Combo, Ken's Ultra Combo will win.
C. Viper
When punishing a whiffed Ultra Combo with Sagat's Ultra Combo, the response has to be timed so that she is not on the ground when the Ultra Combo Animation occurs. If so, Sagat's Ultra Combo could go right over her, as she crouches on one knee when she hits the ground.
This beast can actually kara-cancel into a throw?!?!
Granted, he doesn't have any more range on a throw than most other characters (frame data indicates that it a typical 0.9), but the fact that he is so dangerous up close (and this is a technique to get you in closer) makes anyone who knows it much more dangerous.
Blanka's Ultra Combo was the bane of my existence for so long when it was done close to my character. I would always get caught by it, even when I thought I was blocking.
Then I found out that you have to block down when Blanka is going up and then block up for the rest of the combo.
I consider this discovery to be a personal victory, it was that annoying.
A nice little loop with Blanka is to block a non-EX Rolling Attack, and then throw a Low Tiger Shot followed up with a HK. More often than not, Blanka will jump foward, and can almost always be countered with a HK from Sagat. The only thing to be careful of here is if he has EX meter charged, as his response can be to do another Rolling Attack but an EX one this time, which will go through the Tiger Shot. The HK is quick enough in this situation to do it on reaction, which is key (I'd never recommend a reaction based purely on faith of the follow-up move).
If Blanka takes to jumping straight up after you throw the Low Tiger Shot HK, use the Tiger Shot LK instead, and he will land on it.
For a long time, I haven't used the cr.MK because of the frame advantage it has over the cr.MP and not wanting to be punished when crossing-up on someone with a j.LK.
However, I've found it very useful against Ken, Zangief and Boxer, in that when they try to zone you, you can use the cr.MP (at risk of punishment of course) to change the distance between you and them, which typically nullifies the moves they poke you with when you whiff. I've found a good follow-up to the cr.MK is the cr.HP, as Ken, Zangief and Boxer will typically try to react, and the cr.HP has a quicker startup than most of the follow-up moves these characters present.
For a long time now, I always wondered why when blocking Blanka's Backstep Rolling Attack I could counter with F+HK –> Low Tiger Shot and have it hit, while I couldn't do the same combo after having a Tiger Uppercut stuffed without doing an EX move.
It turns out that you can basically juggle with two normal moves, and to get the third juggle you must use an EX move, Super Combo, or Ultra Combo. So the following all work:
So the general rule is when juggling, the third hit of the juggle MUST be an EX/Super/Ultra.
Here's an example of the first item in the list in a Top 8 Match at East Coast Throwdown between Gootecks (Boxer) and Long Island Joe (Sagat):
Another great thing to note is how he uses the LK –> Tiger Knee/Tiger Shot. It's a great tick move that I haven't gotten down yet. However, there are frames in between that can be punished, but in this case I don't know that Boxer has any response to it. I would NOT suggest using this against anyone that has a move with invulnerable frames on startup and doesn't require charge, as that move can probably be used to counter in between the LK and Tiger Knee/Tiger Shot.
Finally, because of the following Twitter comment by thenk83:
@manny7 rufus have any gap killers? with sagat, a kara tk will launch u across the screen. but i gotta catch'em when missing fireballs. #SF4
@manny7 rufus have any gap killers? with sagat, a kara tk will launch u across the screen. but i gotta catch'em when missing fireballs. #SF4
I didn't think anything about it when I first read it, but it definitely stuck in my mind a few days later when I did it by accident. Until this time, I had thought that the HK was the primary kara-able move, but it turns out that's not the case.
The primary kara-able move is really F+LK. All it takes to put it together is seeing it once and knowing that your move travelled a LOT farther than it normally would. Then a little training in practice mode is all it takes to lock it down.
Here's a great video showing how it's done, as well as the differences in appearance and range of the moves when kara-cancelling them.
So what's the use? Basically, you would use it to close the gap when the moves in themselves won't do it. Here's a great example of Long Island Joe using it in another Top 8 match at East Coast Throwdown:
Notice how after after Sagat throws Ken (from behind during the recovery of the Hadouken), he kara-cancels the F+LK into the Tiger Knee to position himself in front of Ken to throw him shortly after wakeup.
I've noted that you can kara-cancel the F+LK into both the Tiger Knee and the Tiger Uppercut. From across the screen, it can be deadly. The great part about kara-cancelling into the Tiger Knee is that if moving forward, you can anchor the beginning of the move in the F+LK which would make for a more fluid execution. This is especially important against Boxer, where a Tiger Knee is very effective, but sometimes difficult to do on demand.
The other great thing about this is that it can be used as a deke, baiting the opponent into a reaction based on the F+LK, which is then punished by either the Tiger Uppercut or the Tiger Knee. The sequence goes like this:
It's also great when you need to close the distance on someone, particularly Dhalsim or Seth players that like to jump forward with outstretched limbs. Also, it's possible when someone jumps forwards to punish them with either, even from a distance, which is nice, because it really helps keep the pressure on.
Some other tricks I've done is to punish a fireball, but it's VERY difficult to do, as you have to cancel with the Tiger Uppercut before the fireball hits you, but close enough to hit the opponent when executing. A more effective tactic is to Tiger Knee over the projectile from across the screen so you are right in their face. This is particularly effective against Akuma's triple fireball if timed correctly, as well as his air fireball, as it allows you to get under them and then propel forward and limit his space (since people play him so defensively).
In the end, it's a great move that catches a lot of people off guard, typically at the wrong moments.

Discover the Joy of Birds This Spring!
Published on Saturday, April 27, 2013 - 10:54am
This little book will surprise even experienced birders with its word and picture portraits of what makes 160 of our most common birds anything but ordinary. It packs an amazing amount of readable -- and intriguing -- information into a very small space. The pictures not only show typical behaviors but succeed as attention grabbers in themselves. The text is unique among bird guides with its telling vignettes that surprise, amuse, and most of all, make you feel you want to know more.
For example, on the Barn Swallow page, you can find a picture of a parent bird feeding an almost-independent youngster while BOTH are in the air. The text illustrates the adaptability of these widespread birds to humans with the story of a pair who nested for years in a home improvement store, accessing it by fluttering in front of the motion sensor on the door until it opened.
The Kingbird page shows the birds chasing away an eagle that came too close to their nest, while the text informs us that though they are pugnaciously territorial insect eaters while nesting in North America, during their winters in South America they are very sociable, flocking fruit eaters.
The Pocket Guide to the Birds of North America covers the basics of identification, voice, and habits, points out field marks, and gives range maps. It also is a book I found myself reading through page by page, because it's just plain interesting.
