Watch Thee Oh Sees' Hypnotic 'Drop' Video
Animated clip comes ahead of 'Drop' LP, due April 19 via Castle Face
Thee Oh Sees will drop their next album — titled, uh, Drop — on April 19. The garage-rock luminaries, who are definitely not breaking up, have already shared a trio of songs from the upcoming LP: "Penetrating Eyes," "The Lens" (via Pitchfork), and the record's delirious title track (via Stereogum), which now has an official video. Put together by Arthur Carvalho, the animated clip trades in black-and-white, kaleidoscopic visuals — spiraling spiderwebs, dizzying hypno-wheels, and all-seeing eyeballs abound. Watch the video above, and keep an eye out for Drop, which arrives on Record Store Day 2014, thanks to frontman John Dwyer's Castle Face record label.

Last year, Yuck overcame the loss of a frontman, became a trio, and released Glow & Behold, one of our favorite albums of the year. They aren't slowing down. The band recently recorded a new batch of tunes, which they're planning on releasing an an EP sometime soon. And the first of those songs that they've shared is a strummy, swoony, comfort-food indie rock gem called "Athena." The song offers further proof, if we needed it, that Yuck can do pretty just as well as they can do scrappy. Listen to it below.
Yuck's new Southern Skies EP is coming this spring.

"Still no Visual Basic"
This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.
I thought this was coming with this update to Office 08, but maybe I misunderstood and we'll have to wait for something like Office 10???
Anyway, that deficiency substantially impairs the utility of Office 08, since I get a lot of stuff that has VB-based stuff in it. It makes compatibility/interoperability with Windows versions of Office a lot more difficult. (The only reason I moved off of Office 04 was that I got a -really good deal- on my copy.) The speed performances do not make up for the functional deficiencies, and the mostly gratuitous user interface changes are annoying.
What remains to be seen is whether this release fixes the occasional crash when I try to read a Windows Office file. When that happened in earlier versions of Office 08, I'd just open the file with NeoOffice.
Overall Office 08 has a better user interface than NeoOffice, but not enough to justify the price differential :-).

Stoneridge Signs An Agreement To Increase Its Equity Ownership Of Its Brazil-based PST Joint Venture
WARREN, Ohio, Nov. 29, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- On November 22, 2011, Stoneridge, Inc. (NYSE: SRI) executed an agreement with its joint venture partners to acquire an additional 24% ownership of PST Eletronica S.A. ("PST"), a Brazil-based electronic system provider focused on security, infotainment and accessories primarily for the automotive and motorcycle markets. At the conclusion of the transaction, Stoneridge's ownership interest in PST will increase from 50% to 74%.
Stoneridge will pay approximately $29.7 million in cash and issue approximately 1.94 million shares in exchange for the additional 24% equity ownership in PST. Following the close of the transaction, PST's future results will be consolidated into Stoneridge's future results. In 2011 Stoneridge expects to recognize an after-tax gain on its pre-acquisition investment in the range of $26.0 million to $33.0 million at the close of the transaction, based in part on the value of Stoneridge's common shares at the time of the closing. The closing of the transaction, which is subject to regulatory approvals and other customary closing conditions, is expected to occur in two parts with the first part occurring on or before December 30, 2011, and the second part in early January 2012. The transaction is expected to be accretive in Stoneridge's full-year 2012 consolidated financial results.
With the acquisition of the additional 24% ownership, PST's fully consolidated results will provide more visibility to the value and contribution it makes to Stoneridge."PST has been a significant contributor to our income through equity earnings and cash flow through dividends," said John C. Corey, president and chief executive officer of Stoneridge. "This agreement supports our strategy to expand globally and strengthens our ability to serve the South American market. Additional ownership and closer collaboration with PST will present further opportunities to grow the business and to capture opportunities in Brazil and South America." PST sales for 2011 as translated to U.S. dollars are expected to be in the range of $250 million to $260 million. About Stoneridge, Inc.

Quicken Loans, the nation's largest online mortgage lender, today partnered with Phoenix International Raceway (PIR) to announce it will sponsor the Veterans Day weekend NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race on November 9, 2014. An official name and race logo will be announced at a later date.
"All eyes will be on Phoenix International Raceway next year as the end of the season rolls around and drivers are scrapping – literally and figuratively – for every position on the track," said Quicken Loans President and Chief Marketing Officer Jay Farner. "When we looked at the races on the NASCAR schedule, few others offered the same excitement and energy as the fall Phoenix race."
The race will conclude PIR's 50th Anniversary season and a year-long celebration of the track's rich history and contributions to motor sports in the West. Founded in 1964, PIR hosted its first NASCAR-sanctioned event in 1977 with a Winston West Series race. NASCAR's premier circuit, now known as the Sprint Cup Series, made its debut in Phoenix on November 6, 1988, and for the past 25 years, the fall race in Phoenix has been on or near Veterans Day weekend.
"We are proud to partner with Quicken Loans to present the final NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race of our 50th Anniversary season," said Phoenix International Raceway President Bryan R. Sperber. "They are a leader on the track and in the Phoenix business community, and their continuing support of veterans makes this partnership a perfect fit for our Veterans Day Weekend event."
Quicken Loans, who has an office of more than 550 team members in nearby Scottsdale, Arizona, has a strong tradition of honoring active military and veterans. Most notably, the company sponsored the Quicken Loans Carrier Classic on Veterans Day 2011, a first-of-its-kind basketball game that was played on a U.S. Navy aircraft carrier and attended by President Obama and this year will run a special veteran –themed paint scheme in this Sunday's Sprint Cup Series race at PIR.
"We continuously look for opportunities to honor our active military and veterans and thank them for their service to our country," said Farner. "What better way to do this than sponsor the Veterans Day race and have our veterans be a focal point of our efforts."The partnership with PIR comes on the heels of Quicken Loans' announcement that it will join Richard Childress Racing (RCR) in 2014 and serve as primary sponsor of driver Ryan Newman's No. 31 Chevrolet SS for 12 races and associate sponsor for all remaining races, marking the company's third year in the sport. Quicken Loans will also continue as sponsor of Michigan International Speedway's Quicken Loans 400 Sprint Cup Race on June 15, 2014.

Green Bay, WI (SportsNetwork.com) - Aaron Rodgers had one touchdown pass and Mason Crosby connected on five field goals as the Green Bay Packers took a 22-9 victory over the Detroit Lions at Lambeau Field on Sunday.
Rodgers went 20-for-30 for 274 yards, including an 83-yard touchdown strike to James Jones for the Packers (2-2), who were coming off their bye week after dropping a game to Cincinnati.
Jones finished the game with four catches for 127 yards, while Eddie Lacy had 23 carries for 99 yards for Green Bay, which ran its winning streak at home against the Lions to 23 straight games.
"This was a good division victory for us in front of the home crowd," said Green Bay head coach Mike McCarthy. "Coming off the bye week we wanted to come out with a strong effort, and I think we had that here today. Would have been nice to find the end zone a little more, but I thought we did an excellent job on defense."
Matthew Stafford was 25-for-40 for 262 yards and a touchdown for the Lions (3-2), who were coming off wins against Washington and Chicago.
The Detroit offense sputtered much of the day thanks in large part to wide receiver Calvin Johnson sitting out the game with a knee injury. He had been listed as questionable on the team's injury report after sitting out practice both Wednesday and Thursday before participating in Friday's session on a limited basis.
"It's a long season and you have to be able to persevere through a lot of ups and downs," said Detroit head coach Jim Schwartz. "We had a down today, and we'll bounce back from it just like we did after losing to Arizona."
Detroit's first drive stalled near midfield and a punt saw Green Bay get the ball back at its own 20.
Over the course of the 15-play drive, the Packers converted three third downs, one on a penalty and the other two with receptions. The team eventually had a 1st-and-goal at the 4, but was unable to punch it in and Crosby's 26-yard field goal made it a 3-0 game.
Following a three-and-out from Detroit, Green Bay started a drive at its own 30 and ran 12 plays over the next four minutes.
Included in the drive was a fourth down conversion that saw Rodgers' pass fall incomplete, but a holding call on Detroit moved the chains. The team made it a 6-0 game on Crosby's season-high 52-yard field goal with 11:19 left in the half.
After each team punted, the Lions had the ball at their own 11 with 3:47 to play in the opening half. After converting one third down, the team faced a 3rd-and-10, but Stafford turned it with a 22-yard catch by Ryan Broyles. Another third down saw Brandon Pettigrew catch a short pass and turn it into a 25-yard gain. David Akers capped the march with a 53-yard field goal, a season-high, for a 6-3 Lions deficit right before the break.
Green Bay's second touch of the second half saw the team get a 67-yard run from Randall Cobb on the first play. That set up a 31-yard field goal from Crosby for a 9-3 lead with 5:04 to play in the third.
Following another three-and-out from Detroit, Green Bay essentially put the game away as Rodgers went down the left sideline for Jones, who caught the ball near midfield and raced into the end zone on an 83-yard score for a 16-3 lead with 3:12 left in the third.
A 42-yard field goal from Crosby capped a nine-play, 55-yard march for a 19-3 advantage with 10:16 showing on the clock.
Crosby later hit a 45-yard field goal, and Stafford countered with Detroit's only touchdown march of the game that saw him hit Kris Durham on a 13-yard score with 2:06 to play.

Longtime DANDR girl looking for a solution
In November 2007 I ate so many carbs one day that I knew I was done being on the sugar roller coaster - it makes me bloated and moody, I would get too excited thinking about carb...not good. Mom had read DANDR and she and both my sisters had good results. I did induction until Christmas that year and felt great! Ever since i read the book, I used DANDR to maintain my weight. I'm a working mom with a more...ahem...traditional husband so I do most of the homemaking and social arrangements for our family plus I'm in college. It allowed me to maintain my weight even when I went 2 weeks or more without solid exercising!
Fast forward to now...have added another child to the family, he will be two next month. I have noticed since he weaned almost a year ago that small amounts of weight are creeping on even though I'm watching my menu and finding more time to exercise. So I went back to induction at the beginning of April for 30 days and lost only 3 pounds. I moved on to include a couple berries, macadamias or small amount of almond butter once or twice a week. Stalled. Now I actually weigh one pound more than I did on April 1...I know it's TOM for me and it was then too so I'm expecting a 2 pound loss of water weight but what the heck is going on?
I though I'd come to this group and see if a lower carb more pure induction would help. I only want to lose the 10 pounds that have crept on and mostly want to find a better way to maintain. maybe I've ruined my metabolism by lowcarbing for 6 years?? Is that possible?
The last few pounds always fall off the slowest. My experiences with DANDR have always been to find it often has stalls but you just have to push through it. Perhaps ignore the scale as long as you can stomach it. ;) My best successes have been when I was doing some anaerobic exercise with my diet to increase my metabolism. Helped keep it off longer.
Atkins '72 is the only form of Atkins that I ever lost weight on...or that controlled by blood glucose levels. I also find it a lot easier to follow because it's very straightforward and simple.
Looking at your stats, you might actually have to watch your calories as well since you're so close to goal.
Thanks Aomiel! I hate counting calories which is why I loved DANDR but you may be right. I love to eat so maybe I should learn to love to eat LESS :)
I've discovered that I have an addiction (much like an alcoholic) to certain carbs - the non vegie kind. One bite and I'm off and running. If I stick consistently and cleanly to Atkins '72 (protein and low carb vegies), I find that I have to remind myself to eat cuz I'm no longer obsessing about food. Many times I'll have my 2 eggs in cooked in butter and 1 oz cooked bacon for breakfast and my 2 cups salad greens with 4 oz of protein and a hard boiled egg along with 2 Tbs of full fat dressing...and skip dinner because I'm just not hungry or interested. Even cooking dinner for the family doesn't tempt me to eat. So maybe if you do the Atkins induction, you'll find that same appetite suppressant effect? :)

It actually makes it better. You gotta be a fucking genius to turn a debt-ridden piece of shit country into a superpower within 7 years, and then almost win a war fought against just about any country in the world.

He's actually one of the main reasons the Germans lost--His complete waste of soldiers and resources in the Eastern Front allowed the Allies to get the upper hand. He made other bad decisions as well.

My dad and I have this special lunch every Wednesday thing going on since we've been in Iowa. He picks me up at 11:30 sharp, we choose the place after we hug it out, and then we go and talk and talk until the lunch hour is usually well over. Intention: to not live around the corner and only see each other in passing and spend years that way (that happens, doesn't it?).
Anyway, this particular time I'm thinking of the talk turned to me and my business. I told him that I just wasn't feeling it anymore, that something kept tugging at me to go in another direction, and as I was making the baby steps to do so, it was really, really freaking me out. It was keeping me up at night because work was starting to look a lot like sitting very still and letting my brain run in a million directions and sketching things out that made no sense and sometimes even just reading a book. It wasn't work like the 12 hour sewing day that I've known for so long. Was this spring? Was this miscarriage? Was this pregnancy? What was this? I thought it might be my intuition, but I was second guessing myself.
And after I put words to all that, my dad said to me, "Listen to your gut on this. When you survive by your creativity, it can be dangerous to ignore your feelings. Remember that it's not Iviebaby that supports you, it's that voice. And when that voice wants to stop, you let it; when it wants to be quiet, you let it. Just keep an eye out and ask yourself at the end of each day if you feel like you made progress (don't think about what it looks like, think about what it felt like)."
Almost the second we walked in the door to this new house, I knew things were going to be different in a lot of ways, and one of them was this. There is a time to work your ass off, and there's a time to be still and listen.
Loved this snippet on that idea by Seth Bannon I spotted on A Cup of Jo:
"Professional runners take long breaks between marathons. They make no excuses for this, and no one judges them for it, because everyone knows that rest and recuperation is an essential part of being a pro athlete. The same is true for entrepreneurs (and everyone, really). Preventing burnout is part of your job. Staying well rested is part of your job. Sleep and exercise help, but occasional extended breaks are essential too, and their benefits on creativity, productivity, and happiness are well documented."
This weekend I'm flying to Chicago for a workshop that I don't need for Iviebaby. While I'm there, I'm going to completely turn my attention on another project and see what comes out of me. I'm really excited about it, and it feels exhilarating to be starting from scratch. There is something amazing about being on top, and something amazing about being on the bottom too, you know what I mean?
Something else I'm looking forward to is growing this new thing with you. Remember Iviemade? Remember when I announced Iviebaby? Many of you were even here when I was making crafty junk from a tiny studio apartment in Boston. I feel like I have so much to say about this side of myself, and I haven't flushed out this idea completely yet, but I'd really like to be transparent about the process of growing this new thing and see what happens.
Can I end this on a thank you for cheering me/the Ivie's on? Because thank you.

Pam's StoryI grew up liking chicken gizzards so I occasionally have a yen for them. I like them tender, but fried golden brown and crispy. It is hard to get those two descriptions at the same time. If you like them too, try my method and see if you can resist eating more than you should. Yum
1 lb
chicken gizzards ( or as many as you need)
water to cover
1 1/2 tsp
2 to 3 c
vegetable oil for frying
1/2 c
1/2 c
panko bread crumbs
1/4 tsp
garlic powder
1/2 tsp
seasoned salt
1/2 to 1 tsp
paprika, sweet mild
1/4 tsp
fresh ground pepper
2 to 3 Tbsp
Directions Step-By-Step
1Place gizzards into a medium saucepan, and cover with water by about an inch. Add salt and bring to a boil. Lower the heat to medium and boil, covered, until tender. Check after about 45 minutes, and if they are not tender, continue to cook in about 15 minute increments, testing after each.
2When tender to your liking, remove from heat and let cool. (You can do this one day and refrigerate the gizzards in a zip type bag with the juice from boiling to finish later.)
When ready to finish, whisk the egg and milk together in a bowl, set aside. Mix the coating ingredients in a pie plate or other shallow container. Heat the frying oil in a 10 to 12" skillet over medium high heat. (It needs to be hot (375°F) but not smoking)
3Remove the gizzards from the liquid and place in the bowl with the egg mixture. Stir until gizzards are all coated and then remove from egg and dip into crust mixture, making sure they are well coated.
4Carefully place the coated gizzards into the hot oil and turn the temperature down to just above medium. Fry until golden on one side, turn and fry on the other side. (Since they are already cooked, this will not take as long as actually cooking them) Remove to a paper towel lined plate to drain, sprinkle with additional salt if needed. Let cool slightly and serve.

A Whole Village photo essay
I first visited Whole Village in April 2007; over the course of the next 18 months, I lived on the farm in installations, working the land to earn my keep while photographing the community.
Envisioning ecological revolution
Why ecological transformation requires a revolution
Underlying the goal of ecological revolution is the premise that we are in the midst of a global environmental crisis of such enormity that the planet's entire web of life is threatened and with it the future of civilization. This is no longer a controversial proposition.
The myth of the wealthy environmentalist
Finnish innovation meets Mongolian degradation
Conventional wisdom tells us that because Finland is wealthy, its citizens have the necessary resources to take action on environmental issues – that prosperity and a healthier environment go hand in hand. Unfortunately, the world doesn't work this way.
Kick-starting the environmental movement
An interview with Noam Chomsky
Some serious socio-economic changes have to be made. We've got this unsustainable way of life, particularly in the Western world, particularly in North America. The atomization of the population and the drive towards unwarranted consumerism and indebtedness have created very serious social, economic and cultural problems which have to be overcome.
Slower by design
Book review
The world economic crisis has nations around the globe in panic mode, working feverishly to get their economies growing again. But as Peter Victor suggests in his book Managing Without Growth: Slower by Design, Not Disaster, citizens of the richer nations may actually be better off if they stop trying to grow their economies.
Shifting down
Book review
The current state of human affairs, characterized by rising levels of joblessness, depleted natural resources and deep-rooted attitudes of indifference and powerlessness to do anything about it, would prove little surprise to E.F. Schumacher, author of Small is Beautiful: Economics as if People Mattered, a seminal text of ecological environmentalism first published in 1973.
The activist cookbook
A do-it-yourself food activism starter kit
How to make five foods you thought you had to buy, how to can tomatoes, how to live without a fridge… and more!
The herbivore's dilemma
Book review
The Vegetarian Myth argues that strict vegetarianism is not the best diet for our health, for animals or for the planet. The stance is controversial in environmental and animal rights circles, but the subject matter is thoroughly explored, exhaustively researched and very persuasive. Keith is adamantly opposed to fast food and factory farming, but believes that strict vegetarianism isn't the answer either, arguing instead for a sustainable food system based on mixed farming and a diet that includes moderate amounts of animal products.
Letter from the editor
A "curse of wealth" and a new leaf
If Chicken Little had gotten her wings on Colonel Sanders' business plan back in 1955, she would probably have felt the same way Saskatchewan environmentalists did when they read Fortune Magazine's chops-licking article about their province last month.
Living behind the uranium curtain
The dubious legacy and dangerous future of Saskatchewan's uranium industry
Saskatchewan is quickly joining Alberta in the continental corridor supplying oil and gas to the United States. This deepening integration with the resource-intensive U.S. economy, which leaves a toxic legacy on indigenous and Canadian lands, has its roots in a shift that began in the 1960s.

RAGBRAI news team
Riders, runners mingle in Davenport
Davenport — For all the concern about traffic, crowds and water, the final day of RAGBRAI seemed to end on a high note as thousands of riders rolled into Davenport and were met by thousands more runners.
Riders, runners and Davenport residents alike had expressed concert about what would happen when the RAGBRAI riders and their support crews arrived the same day of Davenports annual popular, and highly-regarded, road race, which also draws thousands.
In fact, said Joe Taylor, president of the Quad Cities Convention and Visitors Bureau and chairman of the Davenport RAGBRAI committee, everything came together well.
"We're thrilled RAGBRAI has ended here," he said, sounding excited. "From early indications, it's a huge success. I've met people who say they love Iowa and love the Quad Cities."
And because the morning race ended before most of the cyclists arrived, the events didn't interfere with each other too much, he said.
On East Second Street, riders and runners wandered with friends and family, eating and drinking. On a few corners bikers were explaining to people what RAGBRAI was, runners doing the same for Bix.
And while traffic was understandably dense, Taylor said they'd had no major problems. And he was happy at what he saw when he looked out the bus shuttle window.
"I'm noting how well businesses are doing by the number of bikes outside the business," he said. "RAGBRAI riders are going everywhere, it looks like."

Color way off, very sad.
I have a similar looking, expensive throw I bought at an interior decor store which I love. I thought the "Chinchilla" color of this product will compliment that and the over all color scheme of our place really well, and I was thrilled with the price too. Well, boy was I wrong. Do you see the "chinchilla" on the photo, how it's got these great, dark chocolate/coffee brown stripes? Well, in reality the throw has reddish brown stripes, totally lacking the rich look shown in the photo. I am going to return it. Very sad.Read More
Not Worth It
So the BF and I wanted a throw for the sofa that was large enough for both of us to lay under, we found this blanket, but unfortunately, the larger sized faux chinchilla was out of stock for several months. Finally, we got an email alert saying it was available, and we purchased it immediately. Shipping was super fast, it came packaged nicely, but after opening it, I was extremely dissapointed. The online photo makes it look lush and thick, but after you fluff it out and use it, it gets that weird, clumpy, cheap washed stuffed animal look to it. The underside, which is a light chocolatey color, keeps its velour feel, but the chinchilla loses it's soft texture, and you can see more of an "undercoat" that makes it look darker and gray-er than in the picture. Totally not worth the price. Size is just right for two people, and if I had my way, I would return it, but the BF likes it so we kept it. Boo.Read More
Things i didn't think of or found out after buying this blanket. * How heavy the blanket is but is super warm when under it. * Extra soft microfiber plush backing is only attached around the edge. can curl at feet. * Edge of blanket isn't straight (some what noticeable)Read More
Soooo Soft
I've had the leopard faux fur throw for 2 weeks & am so in love with it! It's the perfect size for snuggling, watching TV or whatever. Not to mention how soft it is. I find myself actually stroking it like one of my cats. Did a lot of shopping for a throw before purchasing it from Overstock and it is the perfect size and pattern for me. BTW, my 2 cats are divided in opinion of it...one likes it & will snuggle with me, but the other is definitely wary & I think she thinks it's real! Thought the pattern would be sort of fake looking, but have since changed my mind. Yes, it's a bit pricey but totally worth it, no matter which pattern you choose. Save a leopard...buy this throw from Overstock and you'll be warm & cozy and thankful.Read More
Fabulous fur
It arrived somewhat crushed and bedraggled looking but strangely realistic. To get it to return to it's former glory I steamed the parts of the fur that were badly crushed. It looks amazing, I have it draped over the chair in a bedroom and everyone asks is it real before they touch it. After they touch it they ask the same question it feels so soft, plush and silky. It's gorgeous I am thinking of buying a couple more as Christmas gifts. I have the chinchilla version, if you are looking for a faux fur throw this is the best I have seen and you can't beat that price. The color is slightly different than depicted and has a browner tone but actually is an improvement.Read More
Super soft and expensive looking.
I ordered the Lynx throw it looked exactly like the photo very luxurious.The length is perfect for me I can tuck my feet under it and still cover my head.It is so soft and warm you can turn the heat down and stay comfortable.I found that mine didn't shed .It looks like real fur the length of the hair is longer than most faux fur blankets.I plan on vacuuming it between cleanings . I would only recommend dry cleaning this item in order to keep it's great quality in tact. This is my favorite blanket . I am planning on purchasing the Chinchilla when it comes in stock again.This blanket weighs about 5 lb 's,it is more for winter use, however it looks great draped over furniture when not in use. So if you like extremely soft and warm fur blanket that can cover you from head to toe this is the one for you. It looks really expensive a real head turner.Read More
Overall good purchase!
I have the oversize and the throw size both in the mink. I have had the throw for several months now and it is still in fairly good condition. When they first arrive they are SO soft! After a week or so, the faux fur does start to get a little bit stiff. I haven't had any problems with the fur coming off. I have yet to have my throw dry cleaned, so maybe after that it will go back to its normal softness! Overall, these are very stylish and fairly inexpensive blankets and I would purchase again.Read More
This throw is absolutely beautiful. Super soft. Love it.Read More
Luxurious, large and luscious.
I have purchased 5 of these awesome throws for myself and my family. Everyone loves them! They are big, beautiful and oh, so soft and cozyRead More
What Oversize Safari Faux Fur Patterned Throw?
I ordered two of these then waited and waited. They were never delivered. Three weeks later when I pursued what happened I learned these are now out of stock I would just have to deal with that. In fairness, I was refunded my money and given an additional O Club credit, but because these were Christmas gifts I was compelled to order a different couple of throws that I just do not like. Will I be back? Not sure....Read More

How to Wash Throw Pillows
Part of keeping a clean house is making sure all of your decorative accessories are clean. Throw pillows covered in delicate fabrics, such as wool or silk, will have to be dry-cleaned, as will throw pillows stuffed with down or feathers. Foam-filled throw pillows with cotton covers or other washable materials, however, can be washed -- some even by machine. Nevertheless, even if a pillow appears washable, always consult the washing instruction label before attempting to wash a throw pillow -- or you may be in for an unpleasant surprise when you remove the pillow from the washing machine.

It takes a keen mind and excellent coordination to become competitive at outdoor play and lawn games such as disc golf.
How to Clean a Chenille Throw
Soft and warm, chenille is the perfect fabric for luxurious throws. Chenille yarn is made from short pieces of fiber twisted around a yarn core.

Owners of chenille throws can clean them gently in a washing machine or carefully by hand. Check out the following steps to help you learn how to clean a chenille throw.

Orlando, FL (Sports Network) - Caron Butler fueled Washington's huge comeback over Orlando, scoring 29 of his 31 points in the second half, including the game-winning jumper with a half-second left in regulation, to push the Wizards to a surprising 92-91 decision at Amway Arena.
Butler also grabbed nine rebounds for the Wizards, who trailed by as many as 21 in the contest before outscoring Orlando by 22 in the third quarter to erase the deficit.
In a back-and-forth final frame, Orlando's Rashard Lewis nearly spoiled the turnaround by hitting a go-ahead three-pointer with 4.6 seconds to play, but Butler answered with a baseline 19-footer to send the Magic to just their fifth home loss this season.
Randy Foye ended with 22 points, seven assists and seven rebounds for Washington, which was coming off an ugly 107-85 loss at New York on Wednesday, a game Butler missed due to swelling in his left knee.
Dwight Howard logged 20 points and 18 rebounds, while Vince Carter chipped in 21 points in Orlando's first loss in five games.
"It is flat-out unacceptable," Carter said. "We did a great job of getting ourselves back into the game. But unfortunately, when you have a slippage like that, you're going to lose a buzzer-beater."
Lewis had 12 points and his desperation fadeaway following Butler's eventual game-winner was well off the mark.
Foye and Butler sparked the Wizards in the third, notching 19 and 15 points, respectively, in the stanza. Washington outscored the Magic, 39-17, in those 12 minutes and led 74-67 with 12 minutes to play.
A Butler bucket opened the fourth, but Orlando responded by scoring the next 11 points, regaining the lead, 78-76, on Jameer Nelson's rare four-point play at the 8:20 mark.
It was a one-possession game the rest of the way, as Butler's tomahawk slam yielded an 89-88 Wizards lead with 1:07 remaining.
After unsuccessful touches from both sides, Carter missed a short fallaway with roughly 24 seconds left. Foye only made 1-of-2 free throws with 19.4 seconds left at the other end, and Lewis was true from three-point land for a 91-90 Orlando lead.
Washington called timeout and designed a play for the red-hot Butler, who used a screen under the basket to free himself up at the left baseline and stroked the difference-maker to upend the Southeast Division leader.
"I had a great situation with Matt Barnes on me," Butler said. "And there was some air space, so I followed through and hit the shot."
Orlando scored the first 12 points of the game as a result of forcing turnovers on each of Washington's first six possessions.
Howard and Nelson combined for a 9-0 run later in the opening quarter, which ended 32-13 in favor of the hosts.
The difference was 50-35 at halftime and Washington made its initial push at the start of the third, scoring 12 of the first 14 points to get within 52-47 on Butler's three-point play three minutes in.
The Wizards continued to gain momentum and took their first lead, 62-60, on Butler's 18-footer with three minutes to go in the third.
