The Society is justly proud of its Programme of events, which contribute to the realisation of the main field of activity that relates to the Society: research, as set out in the first of its Laws. As part of its charitable status the Society is required to make the results of all its activities available to the public and thus 'educate' in the widest sense. The monthly lectures throughout the Society year, the conferences, symposia, workshops and, of course, the publications, all make this possible. All our events are now open to non-Fellows and Fellows alike, please feel free to make others aware of our programme, a downloadable version is available here.
Most lecture meetings start at 6.00pm in Edinburgh and 7.30pm in Aberdeen. The Anniversary Meeting (AGM) starts at 4.30pm in Edinburgh.
The venue for most of the Edinburgh events is the Royal Society of Edinburgh, 22-26 George Street, Edinburgh EH2 2PQ and the venue for most of the Aberdeen events is the Regent Building Lecture Theatre, Regent Walk, Aberdeen, AB24 3FX. However, please check the individual listings for detailed information as we are holding events in Dundee, Glasgow and Inverness too.
Please note that Lecture Meetings are free and open to all to attend.
The calendar for the year 2014-2015 is presented here:

NNSA employees and their friends and families beat the rain delay and enjoyed the annual NNSA Day at the Ball Park this week. The Nationals played The Los Angeles Dodgers.
More photos available here.
Gen. Frank Klotz, Under Secretary for Nuclear Security and NNSA Administrator, earlier this week toured the Nevada National Security Site (NNSS) and met with employees. During the tour, Gen. Klotz visited the Device Assembly Facility (DAF), which offers one of the safest, most secure locations anywhere in the U.S. weapons complex to conduct nuclear explosive operations. Scientists at DAF work on special nuclear material, radiation test objects, and high-explosives in support of experiments for Stockpile Stewardship and other programs.
Klotz also toured the U1a Complex which is an underground laboratory used for subcritical experiments and physics experiments that obtain technical information about the nation's nuclear weapons stockpile. These experiments support NNSA's Stockpile Stewardship Programs, created to maintain the safety and effectiveness of the U.S. nuclear weapons stockpile.
Read more about NNSS here. More photos of the visit are available here.
Below, Klotz listens to a briefing 960 feet underground in the U1a complex at the Nevada National Security Complex. Leading the briefing are (left to right): Stuart Rawlinson, facility manager for the U1a complex, and Raffi Papazian, director of Defense Experimentation and Stockpile Stewardship, both from National Security Technologies.
Admiral Cecil Haney, Commander, USSTRATCOM, visited Pantex Tuesday to tour various facilities and conduct an all-hands meeting with Pantex workers. Haney thanked Pantexans for the work they perform to help maintain a credible nuclear deterrent, thus ensuring the safety of the United States.
Haney briefed Pantexans about the responsibilities and capabilities of USSTRATCOM and discussed how the work done at Pantex factors into that mission. Haney said as the number of weapons in the U.S. stockpile decreases, the work done at Pantex to ensure the safety and reliability of each nuclear weapon becomes even more important.
Haney told Pantexans that although they do not wear a military uniform, the work they do to protect America is as crucial as the work done by those who do.
Reaching President Obama's goal of a world without nuclear weapons requires overcoming technical challenges in verifying disarmament. For more than a decade, the U.S. and U.K. have worked together to improve technical verification—an endeavor that balances the need to protect classified and sensitive information with the need to obtain enough data to inform the process.
Michele Smith, Deputy Director for the Warhead Dismantlement Transparency Program within NNSA's Office of Nonproliferation and International Security, recently shared technical verification lessons learned by the U.S. and U.K. over the years of their cooperative work. She was joined by Attila Burjan of the U.K. Atomic Weapons Establishment. The presentation took place in New York at a side event in conjunction with meetings of the Preparatory Committee for the 2015 Review Conference of the Parties to the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons.
Smith and Burjan focused specifically on the experience the two countries gained through two exercises: one at the beginning of the U.S. and U.K. cooperation and one more recently that was a year-long monitored dismantlement exercise designed to test existing methodologies and identify areas where further development is needed. To be as realistic as possible, the recent exercise was performed in an operational nuclear facility with representative quantities of fissile material and simulated high explosives.
The full presentation slides are available here.

A team of five competitors from Panhandle Junior High School capped off an eventful visit last week to the nation's capital with a second-place finish in the electric car race competition at the National Science Bowl.
Coach Kevin Meyer said the team competed hard, but was barely edged out at the finish line of the final race.
The academic portion of the Science Bowl is supplemented each year for middle school students with a battery-powered car race that gives competitors the chance to apply their knowledge to designing a car to compete on a 20-meter track.
The Panhandle team won the right to represent the area at the national competition by besting 40 other teams in the Pantex Middle School Science Bowl competition in February. They were joined on the trip by a team from Lubbock High School, which won the high school competition.
The Department of Energy sponsors the Science Bowl competition each year to give students across the country a chance to compete in a contest of science and math knowledge. More than 50 regional competitions are conducted, with the winners having the chance to represent their area in Washington.
The members of the team are: Bradlee Brandvik, Arianna Hann, Samuel Koone, Noah Ford and Grace Kuehler.
Dan Krivitsky's success in facilitating work between federal agencies and his efforts in counter-terrorism initiatives and Intelligence Work For Others (WFO) earned him Employee of the Year for NNSA's Los Alamos Field Office. Krivitsky of Los Ranchos, near Albuquerque, is a member of the field office's Security Operations Team.
He and federal employees from around the state were recognized recently at a banquet sponsored by the New Mexico Federal Executive Board.
In 2013, Krivitsky was instrumental in forming a counter-threat working group at Los Alamos National Laboratory, ensuring that disparate security and intelligence stakeholders met routinely to discuss potential threats to the laboratory. He also fostered relationships with numerous State and Federal agencies to improve the flow and expand the network of threat information providers for the Laboratory. In addition, Krivitsky is recognized for his contributions to the Intelligence WFO program. Through the WFO program, the Department of Energy and NNSA provide research and technical assistance to other federal agencies on a reimbursable, full cost recovery basis. WFO agreements are also used as a mechanism through which industry can use expertise and facilities at LANL.
Sandia National Laboratories researchers Mike Cuneo and Igal Brener have been selected Fellows of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE).
Cuneo was selected for "developments in inertial confinement fusion with magnetically-driven-implosions and electrode cleaning." Over the course of his 25-year Sandia career, he has pursued the goal of pulsed-power-driven thermonuclear fusion.
Brener, who joined Sandia in 2004, was selected for "contributions to terahertz science and technology." Projects on which he has worked include chem-bio sensing, terahertz science and devices, plasmonics, metamaterials and solid state lighting.

The first Kansas City Plant employees were hired in March 1949 and were faced with the task of getting the former Navy aircraft engine plant at the Bannister Federal Complex ready for its new role. First on the checklist was the removal of tons of sugar and tires being stored at the facility by a former tenant. By April 19, three machines had been wired and were ready for operation.
Three short days later, on April 21, the first part – an ordinary machined bushing – was produced. That simple part was the forerunner to the highly sophisticated and complicated components built in the years that followed.
This year, the National Nuclear Security Administration celebrates 65 years of dedication to national defense at its facilities in Kansas City, Missouri. While much has changed in the world in past six decades, KCP's mission to deliver safe, secure, and reliable products is still the same.
Two children of Kansas City Plant employees were among 300 students from 38 countries selected to attend the Honeywell Leadership Challenge Academy.
Moe McClarren, daughter of Honeywell Analyst Marcia McClarren, and Michael Sebelski, son of Honeywell Engineers Brian and Sheryl Sebelski attended the week-long academy in March. This unique scholarship program uses interactive technology and science-oriented workshops and team exercises to teach students leadership skills in science, technology, engineering and math (STEM).
Held at the U.S. Space & Rocket Center in Huntsville, Alabama, the program engages students in team-building challenges such as building their own rockets and participating in simulated astronaut training, shuttle missions and a moon walk. Students also meet scientists, engineers, and former astronauts, who help reinforce core leadership competencies and share their first-hand experience.

When you trade Forex, there are many kinds of analysis you can use. There is technical analysis, sentimental analysis, and fundamental analysis. For best success, you should be willing to try all three. As you get more advanced at Forex trading, you can find ways to balance using all three analysis types. Knowing when to accept your losses and try another day is an essential skill for any Forex trader. It is only inexperienced traders who watch the market turn unfavorable and try to ride their positions out instead of cutting their losses. This is a terrible tactic..
Most people can want to see this too
Take note of interesting market information. Make sure you put these in a reference notebook to look back on for ideas. This can help you organize your strategy by keeping track of when markets open, the pricing ranges, the fills, the stop orders and anything else that you notice that may aid you in your trading endeavors.
Do not allow complexity to overwhelm you. You should be able to understand forex quickly and to create your own method within a few weeks. If you tend to analyze situations too much or to look for explanations for your failures, you are going to waste your time and commit mistakes.
A great forex trading tip is to not get too attached to one pair of currency. The market is constantly changing and if youre only standing by one pair of currency, youre missing out on a lot of opportunities. Its better to diversify a little bit and buy or sell, depending on the trends. When entering the forex market it is important to choose the right sort of account. Forex brokers offer accounts tailored to all sorts of traders, from neophytes to complete professionals. The leverage ratio and risks associated with different accounts determine their suitability to particular traders. Getting the right account is vital to ensuring a profitable forex experience. Generating money through the Forex market can cause people to become overconfident and make careless trades. You should also avoid panic trading. Do not make decisions based on feelings, use your gathered knowledge. If you are just starting out, get your feet wet with the big currency pairs. These markets will let you learn the ropes without putting you at too much risk in a thin market. Dollar/Euro, Dollar/Yen, and the Euro/Yen are all good starting targets. Take your time and youll soon be ready for the higher risk pairs.
Realize forex trading is completely driven by people and their behaviors. This is a much different way of think when it comes to trading because you usually will need to focus market trends instead. Success depends solely on guessing how you imagine people will react to certain conditions.
If you are going to begin trading Forex in the hopes of making money, you need to know yourself. You must understand your risk tolerance and your personal needs. You must analyze what your personal financial goals are in relation to trading Forex. To know the market you muse know yourself.
Discuss trading with others in the market, but be sure to follow your judgment first. Its good to know the buzz surrounding a certain market, but dont let the buzz interfere with your rational judgment. A good way to go about this is to stick with a few markets in Forex. Trade only in the more common currency pairs. If you trade in too many markets at once, you can get them all confused and make mistakes. You can become reckless or careless as a result, which is bad for your investing. You should resist the temptation to trade in more than one currency with Forex. Begin with a single currency pair and gradually progress from there. Once you get some experience, you can branch out further and have a better chance of making money instead of losing it.
Patience and persistence are tools of the trader. You know your position, you know what you can afford to lose, and you know that a determined attitude, matched with due diligence, will allow you to grow your ability as a trader and be successful. If you give up after one fail, then ultimately you have failed. You should look for an interesting leverage level, but do not bite on more than you can chew. The leverage ratio represents how much money is available for trading in comparison to what you have in your account. A high leverage means more profit, but also more money you could be liable for if you make a bad investment. Be Careful!
The charts for the timeframe smaller than your usual trading period can help you pinpoint the best entry and exit points for your positions. If you tend to trade on the day, look at the hourly charts. If you trade on the hour, examine the fifteen-minute charts. The faster charts will show you the most advantageous moments to open or close your positions. Never choose a placement in forex trading by the position of a different trader. Forex traders make mistakes, but only talk about good things, not bad. No matter how many successful trades someone has, they can still be wrong. Learn how to do the analysis work, and follow your own trading plan, rather than someone elses.
You should remember that the forex market patterns are clear, but it is your job to see which one is more dominant. It is very simple to sell signals in an up market. You should try to select trades based on trends.

states, "In this country we can afford to have anything we want as long as we priortize."
Errr... Lawrence, the mere fact that we would have to prioritize dictates that we can't afford to have everything we want. I want all new furniture in my house, but I can only afford a couch.
Unless of course you live in Lawrence's bizzaro liberal/socialist world where we can tax ourselves as much as we can, and then borrow the rest, so we can have everything we want.
Oh, wait, we've already been doing that for the past 50 years, and look where that has got us. What a dope!

As a wanna-be double major, I've dealt with my fair share of scheduling conflicts. I really dislike scheduling my classes, since often the process ends in frustration. As the semesters pass by and I fulfill more and more dance requirements, the frustration diminishes… and though scheduling my last semster of classes as an undergraduate still held a few "gosh-darn-it!" moments, it was much, much easier than scheduling during my sophomore year.
With only one semester left, I don't have that many required classes unfulfilled. I plan to take:
- Ballet Technique
- Pointe
- Classical partnering
- Butler Ballet
- Theory and Philosophy of Dance
- English class 1
- English class 2
- French
It looks like I will finish my Dance BFA degree (well, that was never really in question) and be just one class sort of obtaining my English Literature degree. The class in question? French.
When you major in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, you must take six hours of a second language as part of your core requirements. JCFA majors do not have to do this. With a second major in LAS, however, I need six hours of French.
The sad part of this story? I've been confused about my requirements both for my dance degree and my English degree since the first semester. Part of this is my fault; part of it is not. Either way, it's frustrating — especially since I thought by testing into a 300 level French class, I had fulfilled that LAS core requirement. Not so.
I somehow have three extra hours this spring (because I was confused about my dance degree plan, mostly), and I shall take a French class. And then what? Graduate just three hours short of my second major? Take French this summer and graduate a semester late? I'm not exactly sure how everything will work yet.
BUT THEN one of the English classes I planned to take was cancelled, and my dance schedule really doesn't allow for many English class options… so I'm not sure still what my spring semester will look like.
Ah, scheduling…

Definitely something that you can notice. Especially on an overweight bird like the Bravo SX. |
Jan 19, 2012, 04:23 PM | |
Thank you Daryoon. That is exactly what I suspected. I am kinda bumed. Also I am getting some slight TBE effect combined I think with slight pendulum effect. Yaw is very fast and twitchy as well. At least I can dial in some expo to tame the yaw on the Turnigy Tx. BTW the v911 Rx was not a drop in replacement for the Bravo Rx. I had to do some trimming on the servo covers and the frame around the main motor in order for it to fit on the Bravo main frame. Trimming was also required to the body to clear the linkages going to the servo arms plus trimming and bending of the linkage arms as well.

I prefer the Nano 130 on my Champ plane. I got the impression these perform better than the Nano 160 version. |

I finally received my V911 today, and I gotta say, everything worked like it should out of the box. I did move the links to the short balls, and it induced a little bit of tbe, I moved them back to the long balls, and everything was fine. Right now being the noob, that I am, the V911 is a lot more fun to fly than my MsrX. Right off I was doing circuits around my bedroom,(can't do that yet with the MsrX).

I wasn't blaming the Rx for that lol. I am using all new parts for the heli that would cause TBE and everything seams to move freely so I am kinda stumped. The main gear is warped a little bit but does not bind. I guess I will have to order some specialty lubricant because all I have on hand is WD-40 and graphite powder and I don't want muck it up with these. Wait, I just remembered that I have some silicone lubricant. Would this work good?

Regarding TBE on the v911...
One of the difference between the Solo Pro/Bravo SX and the v911 despite using the same head/flybar design, is the pivot for the flybar. On the Nine Eagles heli, it's a pin.
On the v911, it's a screw. I think the tightness of the screw may be the cause of your TBE. When I gave my new v911 a once over, I noticed that the flybar is free moving...but not free enough. If you guys haven't done enough modding, I don't think you guys understand how free the flybar has to move. Any binding, and it lags behind, causing TBE or more severe, causes the heli to veer off. Given that the flybar is fixed in placed by a screw, I suspect each v911 will arrive with different tension on the flybar. So take a moment to back off the screw just a tad. The flybar needs to teeter very, very, very, very, very freely. |
Jan 19, 2012, 05:26 PM | ||
It's interesting SkyFox' comment above yours. How changing position of the link on the servo arm causes TBE. So perhaps there is something above the RX and servo/links that causes your TBE. Keep us posted. |
Jan 19, 2012, 06:15 PM | ||
I put the servo links back on the outer holes after I took her outside.......almost lost her over my two-story roof as she couldn't fight the wind. I'm glad the wind wasn't blowing towards our lake out back |

its been a month i have the v911. Nothing has broke yet but the swash plate keep seperating for nothing so i decided to use my solopro spare as replacement. When i was there i replaced the whole thing (swash, head, flybar, blades) with the SP parts. It just flies the same (indoor). I like it better than my solopro but dont know how its like outdoor FFF

Chad Ochocinco's Cereal Tells Kids to Call Phone Sex Line
Categories: Sports
a href="http://deadspin.com/5652025/chad-ochochincos-phone-sex-cereal">According to Deadspin, the OchocincO's box tells breakfast enthusiasts to call a hotline supposedly belonging to the Feed the Children charity.
Problem is when you call 1-800-HELP-FTC you may be able to talk about putting things in people's mouths, but it certainly has nothing to do with children.
"Wanna get off with the sluttiest girls your nasty imagination can dream up? Ummmm, we can be what you want to be baby," the voice says before mentioning that you can take her and her "ultra hot girlfriend" in a variety of positions including spread eagle and on their hands and knees.
Yep, the number is actually for a $2.99/a minute phone sex line.
The mistake was first brought to the media's attention when a nine-year-old Ohio girl called the number on speaker phone with her family.
The charity's actual number is 1-888-HELP-FTC.
Ochocinco says he's not responsible for the mistake, and trusts the marketer behind the cereal, PLB Sports, to correct the problems. Boxes with the phone sex number have been pulled from stores.

Mandriva Enterprise Server 5.1 builds on KVM
The French Linux distributor Mandriva, has updated its Enterprise Server 5 that first appeared mid 2009.
The manufacturer emphasizes the update not only fixes bugs but also offers customers new features, which Mandriva is calling "Evolution Maintenance." With version 5.1, the distributor has its focus very much on virtualization, relying on the official kernel technology KVM. The tools delivered promise a simpler management of virtualization systems.
Mandriva Enterprise Server 5.1 also contains Mandriva Directory Server (MDS). The Enterprise Linux conforms to the LSB 4 standard and has an expected lifetime of five years.
The server is available on subscription and which costs around 300 Euro (about $400) a year. A free trial version , available on registration, as ISO or VM image is also available.
First Glance
Last fall I took Mandriva's desktop system, Mandriva 2010, for a test drive and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. The Mandriva developers make one of the most user-friendly, stable and elegant systems in the Linux ecosystem. Having played with their Enterprise Server on my website http://www.tonerscartridges.com/, I find it to be in the same class of excellence. The Enterprise Server is fast, stable, easy to configure and wonderfully intuitive to use. One of the things I enjoyed most about using MES is it does a great job of balancing giving information to the user while staying out of the way. There aren't any annoying pop-ups and neither is the user left alone in an empty sea of UNIX.

Gillard has rushed to the polls - Truss
PUBLISHED: 17 Jul 2010 12:52:59 | UPDATED: 18 Jul 2010 05:47:16PRINT EDITION: 17 Jul 2010
Nationals leader Warren Truss has accused Prime Minister Julia Gillard of rushing to call a federal election before her "honeymoon" in the job ends.
Ms Gillard visited Governor-General Quentin Bryce on Saturday morning to ask permission to call an election.
Meanwhile, the Queensland Liberal National Party (LNP) was holding a convention in Brisbane, with Opposition Leader Tony Abbott and Mr Truss both addressing the 350-strong crowd.
The Nationals leader said Ms Gillard was hurrying to the polls before the tide of public opinion turned against her, as it did to her predecessor Kevin Rudd.
"Julia Gillard is going before her honeymoon fades and before the same NSW factional warlords knock on her door like they did three weeks ago to Kevin Rudd," he said.
Mr Truss questioned Labor's competence, saying the party couldn't control its spending or manage its programs.
The government's shelved carbon pollution reduction scheme, controversial minerals resource rent tax and botched home insulation rollout were all examples of its failure, he said.
"Julia Gillard was there for all of it.
"This is a sad and very sorry record of incompetence on a grand scale."
Mr Truss urged the public to vote for the coalition, saying Mr Abbott brought a commonsense approach to leadership.
"Tony is a man of compassion and concern," he said.
"He fights for what he believes in, and he believes in giving every Australian the very best shot at life.
"He stands before us today as perhaps the fittest man ever to run for the highest public office in the land - fit in mind, body and spirit."

Upholstered loveseats - where to buy?
I think I want 2 upholstered loveseats with English arms.
I know I want them to be less bulky than what I see on the showroom floor in places like Ashley. I don't want thick, bulky pieces, and I do want a fabric that has some amount of natural fiber in it.
The last and only time I purchased a new piece of upholstered furn I did not know what I was doing. I bought a Lillian August down sofa with Robert Allen custom fabric. I'm tired of it but it is still like new. I got it because it had the arm I wanted, didn't look cheap, and I could choose an all cotton fabric. It was what I consider very, very expensive. I'm 20 years older now and will probably move again before my final home and I have all the old-age-economics to consider. There must be a middle ground quality that would satisfy me but I really have trouble visualizing.
I'm in the position of being again hung up on a particular arm. I can compromise on fabric this time, but they have to "feel" non-cheap.
I don't see a lot of English arms on the showroom floor. I think I could spend around 1200 - 1400 at a store like Macy's and get loveseats that would suffice but I wouldn't get to see them first, so I'm entertaining other unpreviewable options that cost less.
I'm wondering about clubfurniture.com, where it looks like I can save about $300 per loveseat. I really dislike buying new, but I have been looking for used for quite a while and I've gotten kind of hung up on the Enlish arm. It's the only that looks good to me now. Should I talk myself out of the arm? Should I order from Macy's even though I can't see before I order? Should I purchase from clubfurniture? (Their loveseat is only 55 inches long, which on paper works much better for my space, and which I think I strongly prefer over the 60" and longer ones, but I have such a hard time visualizing)
I want loveseats that look tailored but that lend themselves to being sat in sideways with legs up. I'd also like to be able to rest my elbows on the arm rests and read the paper, so that rules out very high or very low arms.
More questions:
1. I don't like the idea of attached back cushions. Do I need to get over that? Is there a problem with them over time or is that a place I could comfortably compromise?
2. I don't see skirts anymore. I want to use 2 chairs in the room that have a lot of exposed wood -- arms, legs, and backs. Should I seek out loveseats that have skirts to balance things out? This is the only living room in the house and there will be some tables, too.
For attached back cushions, it depends on what you mean. If you mean a tight-back sofa, that's totally not a problem if it's a well-built piece. I have a tight-back sofa that's had almost 30 years of regular use and the seat cushions have needed redoing, but the back stuffing is still fine.
If you mean the ones that look like loose cushions but are sewn to the sofa frame, stay away. That's usually a way of cheaping out on finishing.
I wouldn't order a sofa from Macy's, myself. I think their upholstered goods are pretty shoddy. At least I've never seen any that weren't.
I am not sure about Macy's either. I had a Macy's sofa before my current one and had great experience with it-- but I was in a showroom just tonight and unfortunately, I don't think they are carrying that quality anymore. I was really disappointed. I have seen a few blogs speaking positively about the martha stewart sofas-- but they didnt have any in the showroom.
I am in a similar position as you-- I am looking for a nice looking sofa for under 1000. I am not looking for something that will last 15 yr.. but I want a certain look and I don't want it to look like a budget sofa. I don't know where I will go next. Do you have a Pottery Barn outlet nearby? I am considering giving them a try. Not all, but some of their sofas are made by Mitchell Gold and that should be decent enough quality (for me) for now. Of course the outlet is hit or miss-- but it's not that far away so worth a look if I can save $600-800.
Sorry, I don't know anything about clubfurniture.com.
How urgent is your need? If you can wait until Jan/Feb a lot of furniture stores do inventory then and run big clearance sales.
Yes, writers, I meant semi-detached loose back cushions. I wondered if they'd really bother me after I actually lived with the loveseat, or if I'd get used it. I do rotate my back cushions now, but am not sure if I'd miss doing that.
Funkyart, I saw the M. Stewart upholstered at Macy's. It was ok, I guess. I can't name exactly what I didn't like about them. I visited a PB outlet once. A lot of the case goods were totally splintered and broken down. I'll never buy PB wood stuff. The decor items, de-merchandized and overflowing, looked like so much "stuff" that you wouldn't want. I don't recall seeing any upholstered items. I do see them on craigslist, though.
One thing that bugs me about inexpensive upholstery is the way the foam deforms. Down sags, but in a nice way. I don't know how to tell whether a particular foam is going to dent and harden badly, and whether a particular fabric will crush in a non-complimentary fashion.
My down sofa with cotton tapestry cover ages nicely. Cover and cushion just sort of mush together.
OTOH I had a faux velvet 1980s sofa on which the foam grew unresilient -- I kept trying to push it back into square but it had lost it's memory-- and the welting of the faux velvet didn't move in the same direction. It just looked bad, and not in a good way.
I keep thinking that if I got the right kind of foam and somewhat good fabric thngs would be ok. But they don't talk about the kind of foam used, and I'm not sure how "good" the fabric would have to be.
I ordered 2 small genuine leather recliners (not bonded) from Macy's and so far have been very happy with the quality. However, their return policy is very strict and has a large restocking fee if you don't like them. We actually went to the warehouse for pick-up, unpacked the chairs and inspected them before accepting the delivery. We were told that was the way to avoid a return charge if we didn't want them. And we had sat in them in another color in the showroom.
DD also bought a loveseat (Chloe) from Macys about 5 yrs ago and also has felt the quality for the price has been good. She sat in it in the showroom first.
I also longed for English arms, but had difficulty finding a sofa in the length, fabric, color, etc I wanted in a timely manner. Sooo... recently retired DH insisted on going sofa shopping with me (I about fell over). We ended up with a very nice linen Baker sofa that cost more than I expected, but is very comfortable and WITHOUT my English arms. It is the perfect size, but no heart singing.
You might try finding someone who sells Rowe. They had a sofa that was too short for my needs (more like loveseat) and their prices in some stores were a bit lower. I love English arms and have for years! However, I don't know if the arm height of many of them is conducive to sitting sideways on a loveseat since the arm is sometimes fairly low. But for style and elbow rest, love, love, love them! Good luck!
> I meant semi-detached loose back cushions.
The only reason for doing this is to save the small amount it would cost to finish both the sofa back and the back of the cushion. To me it is one of the biggest red flags there can be. Yes, they look hideous in short time. You'll never find down good quality cushions done this way.
Down is always best if you can find it in the style you want.
I ran across clubfurniture when I was looking for Pottery Barn lookalikes; I think I saw the recommendation on gardenweb from someone who claims the same manufacturer makes the club furniture and PB upholstered pieces. To me, the quality and prices seem quite good, and they have a lot of variety. But it is hard to buy without sitting in one!
I ended up with a tight-back apartment sized sofa from Crate and Barrel (the Silhouette), and I like it very much. It's probably longer than you want (about 80") but the taupe is on sale for $799 right now.
Have you considered contacting a local upholsterer, or one who ships, to see if they have a frame that you like, where you could also choose the fabric?
I have always admired this company's work. They are based is Atlanta, GA, and have items on eBay (link below) and also a website and blog. They buy high quality pieces and re-do them, and have 100% positive feedback, AND their shipping is well priced.
I'm sure she has more frames, or can find ones than are not shown on her site, and I bet you'd end up with a quality piece in a fabric you choose, at a price similar to that of a new lesser quality one.
I have NO connection to this company; just have admired their work since I stumbled upon some online years ago.

Tom Varndell responded to his England omission with the fastest hat-trick in Amlin Challenge Cup history as Wasps qualified for the last eight.
Varndell grabbed his treble after just 13 minutes as Wasps made easy work of Italians Mogliano at Adams Park with a thumping 71-7 victory.
Wasps eventually ran in 11 tries as Chris Bell, James Cannon, Jack Wallace, Charlie Davies (two), Tom Lindsay, Marco Wentzel and Andrea Masi all followed.
The victory saw Wasps open a six-point lead over Bayonne with only one round of pool games remaining.
Varndell crossed in the opening minute and added two more in quick succession before Dai Young's side wrapped the bonus point up three minutes later through centre Bell.
Lock Cannon and wing Wallace also crossed before half-time while Davies kicked off the second half with a double.
Mogliano registered their solitary try through Edoardo Candiago which Enrico Endrizzi converted though Wasps resumed the rout to reach the knock-out stage.
Bath squeezed past Agen 19-16 to secure their place in the quarter-finals.
Tom Heathcote's penalty settled a tense clash at the Recreation Ground to extend Bath's 14-game unbeaten record in this tournament
It put the gloss on a mixed afternoon for the young fly-half who missed a string of kicks before landing two decisive penalties in the second half.
Heathcote traded early penalties with opposite number Raphael Lagarde before Wales prop Paul James scored Bath's only try for a 13-9 lead at half-time.
Lagarde was shown a yellow card on the 44th minute. Heathcote extended Bath's slender lead only for Agen to tie the scores through No 8 Uelenitoni Fono before striking the winner to secure top spot in Pool 4.
Elsewhere in Bath's group, Calvisano claimed their first win 34-20 against Bucuresti.
Worcester thrashed Femi-CZ Rovigo 80-17 in Italy thanks to 12 tries at Stadio Comune Mario Battaglini.
Josh Drauniniu grabbed a hat-trick as Worcester romped to their second 80-point away win in this campaign.
Nikki Walker, Blair Cowan and Max Stelling all crossed twice while Jake Abbott, Andy Short and Neil Best all weighed in as Worcester ran riot.
Danny Gray kicked 20 points yet that still may not be enough to progress with Perpignan sat in the driving seat in Pool 2 after winning 50-15 at Bizkaia Gernika.
Perpignan and Worcester are level on points in Pool Two though the French side will progress if they remain tied after out-scoring the Warriors three tries to one in their two meetings.
London Welsh claimed their first home European win after beating Cavalieri Prato 62-5 at the Kassam Stadium.
The Exiles ran in nine tries on their way to completing the double over the Italian minnows.

Look! We made a list of top five vegan-friendly cities. This according to what we're assuming is THE authoritative source, VegNews. The brief write-up gives a tip of the hat to Ramsi's, Heart & Soy and Roots, just to name a few.
We're on the radar with Denver, Colo., and Oakland, Calif. Not too shabby, especially for a town that loves to claim the "Hot Brown" as its signature dish.

What are Skin Tags?
Skin tags are a common, benign condition that consists of a bit of skin those projects from the surrounding skin. Medical terms for skin tags include acrochordon and cutaneous papilloma. Skin tags may be smooth or irregular, flesh colored or more deeply pigmented, and simply raised above the surrounding skin or connected to the skin by a narrow stalk (a peduncle) so that the skin tag hangs from the skin. They commonly appear around the eyelids, neck, groin, underarms, and under the breasts. They are usually painless, but may become irritated and itch.
How are Skin Tags removed?
Depending on the size of the skin tags, they may be shaved off with a scalpel or scissors, or removed with hyfrecation (destroying the tag with small electrical pulses). An antibacterial ointment is applied and the site is covered with a small bandage. Alternate methods of removal include cryosurgery (freezing with liquid nitrogen).
What Results Can You Expect?
Once removed, skin tags will not grow back. However, most people who have skin tags will develop more of them as time progresses and the new skin tags may develop in the same area from which the original growths were removed.
How Many Treatments Do You Need?
A single treatment will permanently remove the skin tag. If you have a large number of skin tags, you may want to have them removed over two or more sessions.
Things You Should Know
Swelling, bleeding, and infection at the treatment sites may occur. This procedure does not normally produce scars but may leave small light or dark spots that fade with time.
