What's on the iPod: Chloe by Grouplove
|Photo: The Next Web
How was the weekend? I've not mentioned it, but I was two weeks without a husband. He went off to Arizona to see his mom, which I couldn't do because I need to get more work in. He came home Saturday night, so the weekend was about getting reacquainted. Finally, I slept. I don't sleep when he's not here.
I spent Friday doing a bit of marketing for the upcoming conference. I hit Twitter and LinkedIn and reconnected with some colleagues in hopes of being top-of-mind when they go looking for a writer. I sent out a bunch of LOIs, too. One may have scored something -- too early to tell.
I had a chance to read a few articles and blog posts regarding social media use. There were a few that were disturbing. It seems for as many people as there are taking part in the #FollowFriday tagging of good follows and friends, there are a growing number of people who loathe the practice. I saw one tweet that complained about these lists of follows clogging up the Twitter feeds.
I see the point. When someone (me) sends out four or so tweets in a row wishing "Happy #FF" to friends and colleagues, it can become a pain to sift through, I suppose. That's why on Fridays, I don't read Twitter feeds much. Actually, it's because I'm busy saying hello to everyone, but that's another issue.
But to say someone shouldn't alert others to people we enjoy communicating with just because the feeds get clogged one day out of seven seems to miss the larger point. It's social media. Even if you hate it, the #FF senders are doing exactly what the media intended -- being sociable.
I actually saw one blog telling you the proper way to do it. The ironic part -- the blogger was basically putting a fresh skin on the same practice. The message was (and I paraphrase) "Tell us why we should follow this person and stop saying hello to people you're trying to schmooze."
While I think that these messages are lost in reality (meaning the bloggers/writers are just as guilty as those who were being chastised), I get that too much of a good thing can become someone's pet peeve really quickly. So maybe the point of social media is what's missing. Here's my take on what it may mean. Feel free to add your own opinion:
To be sociable. Not everyone is using Twitter or Facebook to build a client base or sell products. In fact, my Facebook page is strictly for personal use -- just for connecting with friends. You have to allow that people get to know each other and want to show appreciation in a public forum. So be it. If you don't enjoy it, maybe don't read that day? I don't know.
To build a network. One article writer complained that Twitter's #FF was being used to sidle up to people you want to be in your network. And that's a problem because.... yeah, I don't get why that's a problem. That's the point of social media -- to connect to people you've been trying to build a relationship with, right?
To create awareness. Now that I'm aware of the people who openly hate #FF shout-outs, I'm going to temper my own behavior. If some users hate it, there's a pretty good chance those I'm trying to build relationships with do, too. However, awareness is also related to brand. I want potential clients to see me using these tools (wisely, of course), and I want to draw these people into conversation even if it means giving them a "Happy #FF" message once in a while. I'll just stop adding seven or eight people to the list.
There are plenty of bad habits coming out of Twitter and LinkedIn -- constant self-promotion being primary, but also not interacting or responding to followers, hijacking groups in order to sell yourself or your products, sending out strings of identical messages in an attempt to drive traffic to your site, you name it. To me, the least likely to bother me is the #FollowFriday lists of people to follow. I'd much rather see someone saying hello even in a list like that than sending me one more shortened URL pointing to that same damned sales page again.
But I get it. Too much of anything isn't good. So maybe there's something to tempering the #FollowFriday behavior, but at what point do we tie our own hands with social media? If it's not there to get to know other people and reach out, why bother?
What's your take on it?

The Pickaway County District Public Library is now sharing an online catalog with 10 other libraries, including Columbus Metropolitan Library, Worthington Libraries and Southwest Public Libraries.
This partnership through the Central Library Consortium (CLC) serves 1.4 million residents across six counties with nearly 1.2 million unique titles, doubling the number of titles previously offered in the online catalog.
Pickaway County Library patrons are encouraged to place holds online, especially for the newest releases of books and movies. Pickaway County patrons have first access to locally-owned items, so dont let your place in the holds queue alarm you, especially for the newest releases.
For instance, you might be number 403 on hold for the newest Nora Roberts book, but number four on hold among Pickaway County patrons. Since Pickaway County owns three copies of the book, you should receive a copy within three weeks of the books release, provided other borrowers return their books on time. Once all of Pickaway Countys holds have been filled for a particular title, the item is then available to fill hold requests at other CLC libraries.
Online patron records are now correct for the titles checked out, items on hold and fines/fees. If you need assistance viewing your account online, visit your local library and ask for assistance.
The CLC is a 25-year-old partnership among library systems who share materials, resources, servers, licenses, group purchases and even staff while remaining strong, independent library systems. Libraries in the consortium include: Pickaway County District Public Library, Alexandria, Columbus, Fairfield County, Grandview Heights, Marysville, Pickerington, Plain City, Southwest, Wagnalls Memorial and Worthington.

TUCSON, Ariz. – The University of Arizona baseball team opened its official fall practice schedule Monday at Hi Corbett Field. The Wildcats will practice daily through November 15.
Assistant coaches Shaun Cole and Matt Siegel led Monday's initial practice in place of head coach Andy Lopez, who had a triple bypass heart surgery earlier in the day. The surgery "went well" according to Vice President for Athletics Greg Byrne, and Lopez was recovering in intensive care following the operation.
On the field, the Wildcats picked up where they usually do with a workout focused on fundamentals, including fielding, base running, bullpen sessions and situational hitting. Coming days will feature more of the same and the club will host a series of intrasquad scrimmages each week for the next six weeks.
Arizona has 20 returnees on the fall roster, which welcomes in a talented freshman class. The roster will be pared down slightly following fall practices before being finalized for the spring season.
Juniors Joseph Maggi and Mathew Troupe are among the key veterans on the club. The two previewed the fall season last week in the video below.

Panda Bicycles Opens a New Denver Store for its Bamboo Bikes
Submitted by Amy Thompson on

DENVER, CO (BRAIN) — Panda Bicycles has opened a new boutique shop in Denver dedicated to the bamboo bike brand that could be the first step in establishing a network of concept stores.
"It's a kind of an exploratory exercise for both of us," Panda co-founder Jacob Castillo said in reference to both his company and Panda Concept Store proprietor Angel Cruz.
Up until now, Panda's handmade steel-lugged bamboo bikes have been sold predominantly consumer direct on the company's website and through its own boutique shop at its headquarters in Fort Collins. Early this year, however, framebuilder Castillo brought on two new staff members so he could focus more of his attention on sales and growth initiatives.

Taking Money Out
What if I convert and then need to withdraw money from my Roth within the first five years?
If you withdraw converted amounts within five years and are under
age 59½ at that time, you'll owe a 10% penalty tax on the amount withdrawn¹ - no worse than if you had taken the money out of your original IRA. Withdrawals
after age 59½ are exempt from the penalty no matter when you converted. Once
five tax years have passed, starting with the year of conversion, you can withdraw
conversion money (but not earnings) without penalty regardless of age.
If I take money out of my Roth, can I decide whether to withdraw contributions, conversion money or earnings?
No. Specific rules establish the type of money you'll receive.
Regular Roth contributions (if you've made any) always come out first, then
converted amounts (starting with the oldest conversion first) and then earnings.
All Roth accounts are treated as a single Roth, so you can't avoid the ordering
sequence by setting up separate accounts.
I know I can withdraw earnings from my Roth tax-free after five years if I meet certain requirements. Does
the five-year period restart for each contribution or conversion I make?
No. All Roth money has a single five-year clock that begins with
the tax year of your first contribution or conversion to any Roth account.
Once this five-year period ends, any earnings you withdraw are considered to
have met the five-year requirement. So if your first Roth contribution or conversion
was for the 2010 tax year, you'll never have to think about the five-year requirement
again after 2014.

Here is the grackle, people.
Here is the fox, folks.
The grackle sits in the bracken. The fox . . .
Here is the grackle, people.
Here is the fox, folks.
The grackle sits in the bracken. The fox . . .
To make a final conquest of all me,
Love did compose so sweet an enemy,
In whom both beauties to my death agree, . . .
Fairy tales are full of impossible tasks:
Gather the chin hairs of a man-eating goat,
Or cross a sulphuric lake in a leaky boat, . . .
It was midday before we noticed it was morning.
The boy cousins brought us a tray—soup and cheese,
warm soda, and a soft cloth and candy for her fever. . . .
Once you said joking slyly, If I'm killed
I'll come to haunt your solemn bed,
I'll stand and glower at the head . . .
Through the night
the apples . . .
The river is famous to the fish.
The loud voice is famous to silence, . . .
Each day I go into the fields
to see what is growing
and what remains to be done.
It is always the same thing: nothing . . .
Well, I was in the old Second Maine,
The first regiment in Washington from the Pine Tree State. . . .
My father knows the proper way
The nation should be run;
He tells us children every day . . .

The coronary arteries carry blood to the heart to supply oxygen and necessary nutrients. As seen below, the wall of a coronary artery has 3 distinct layers: the inner (intima), middle (media), and outer (adventitia) layers. The wall of the artery surrounds the lumen of the artery, which is the channel through which blood flows.
In the graphic, smooth muscle is red, and connective (supporting) tissue is black (elastic) or blue (collagen).
The intima is best seen in the close-up view in Figure 1. It is composed of a layer of so-called endothelial cells that covers the artery's inner (lumenal) surface, connective (supporting) tissue (collagen and elastin), and a layer of compact elastic tissue called the internal elastic lamina (IEL). In the past, the intima was thought to be simply a passive layer whose major purpose was to serve as a barrier. Now, however, we know that the endothelial cells actually keep track of the pressure, flow, and "health" of the artery. Moreover, endothelial cells secrete chemicals that can adjust the function of the artery (e.g., vasodilator chemicals to widen and vasoconstrictors to narrow it) and growth of the artery wall (e.g., growth factors).
The media (M) is a layer made up primarily of smooth muscle cells (SMCs). The muscle can contract and relax to control the blood pressure and flow in the artery. Elastic tissue and collagen in the media, along with elastic tissue in the IEL, increase the elasticity and strength of the wall of the artery, as the artery contracts and relaxes. The adventitia is a layer of connective tissue and cells (e.g., SMCs) that produce this connective tissue. The adventitia contains potent factors, including one called tissue thromboplastin, that promote blood clotting. The clots are useful when the artery becomes injured because they can limit excessive bleeding from the injured artery.

They may wonder where the Temple Theater is or what time the next screening begins.
Others may be more specific as to what types of exhibits are going to be on display at New Frontier.
To find the answers easily, patrons are encouraged to ask one of the many Sundance Film Festival volunteers.
While volunteers help make the experience pleasant for the patrons, they themselves have a lot of fun as well.
Just ask Park City resident Rhoda Stauffer who will celebrate her third year as a Sundance Film Festival volunteer this year.
"I love being a part of the festival," said Stauffer, whose day job is as the affordable housing specialist for Park City Municipal Corp. "I think Sundance does an amazing job with all the non-movie venues as well.
"They include the Filmmaker Lodge, the ASCAP Music Cafe and New Frontier," she said. "That's what makes Sundance a great festival."
Stauffer decided to become a volunteer in 2011, because she thought it would be interesting to learn about the Sundance Film Festival from the inside out.
"Before I was a volunteer, I did attend some of the free local showings, but not a lot," she said. "I have a number of friends who have volunteered and that's what got me involved."
Her past shifts were usually at the Library Theater at the Jim Santy Auditorium
"I took tickets at the door and ushered people in to the screenings and cleaned up afterwards," she said.
Stauffer has enjoyed visiting New Frontier in the past, but got so busy she missed it last year.
"So, this year I decided to volunteer there so I won't miss it again," she said with a laugh.
Sundance Film Festival volunteers like Stauffer, who are part time, are known as sign-up volunteers and can choose where they want to work.
"I have to report to a site supervisor or a shift manager, and then we also work with volunteer coordinators," she said. "Most of the jobs are learn-as-you-go, although there are some that require prior experience."
Stauffer has a minimum requirement of 24 service hours throughout the whole festival.
"I usually end up putting in 40 to 50 hours," she said.
Stauffer gets a free movie voucher for every four hours of work.
"Every screening has seats set aside for a certain amount of us who have vouchers, depending on the size of the theater," she said.
Another perk is making new friends.
"I love meeting people, and that includes other volunteers and patrons from all over the world," Stauffer said. "You end up meeting people from everywhere."
While some of the shifts can get a little long, Stauffer enjoys working for the festival.
"The only thing that was hard for me was scheduling around my full-time job," she said. "But the festival is only 10 days, so that's not a big deal."
The most memorable things for Stauffer in the past have been the New Frontier exhibits and seeing films that she may not otherwise see.
"One film was last year called 'Where Do We Go Now,' which was from Lebanon," she said. "I ended up going to see it twice, because I loved it and the movie did a great job in telling a story."
While the 2013 Sundance Film Festival is still a few days away, and this year's volunteer opportunities are now closed, Stauffer is already looking forward to next year's event.
"You can bet I'm planning to volunteer for that one, too," she said.

For those of us that consider ourselves beer snobs, and even those that don't, there are certain beers a nose tends to be turned up on. Coors Light, Budweiser and Natural Ice are just a few that come to my mind.
My friend Paul is a home brewer and considers himself a bit of a beer connoisseur, but was surprised recently when he rated Miller High Life as one of of his favorite beers during a blind taste test. He was at his family's house and his step dad had him judge beers (mixed both craft and light domestics together) in a blind taste test.
My friends and I thought it was such a great idea we did it ourselves last weekend. Now we don't have enough money to buy a bunch of craft beers for everyone to drink (there were seven of us) so instead we called it the (blank) Beer Taste Test and bought the cheaper beers in the store. The blank stands for a word I can't repeat here, but it describes a bunch of beers we're not big fans of as a collective and for purposes of this post we'll call them "bargain basement beers." For seven folks trying out about 2 oz. samples it came to about $10 – $12.
The beers consisted of Natural Ice, Miller High Life, Budweiser, Icehouse, Foster's Premium Ale, Bud Light, Yuengling (most of us are a fan of this one), Pabst Blue Ribbon, Miller Light and Budweiser.
We had piece of paper that we marked 1 – 10 on. After a sniff and a couple of tastes we rated each beer from 1 – 10 and described it to the rest of the group. At the end of all the tastings, the beers were revealed to us and we were all quite surprised with our answers. My husband Casey and I got the most right with 3 out of 10 beers if that gives you a hint on how hard this really is. And how surprising! Here is how I rated my beers, from highest to lowest:
1. Pabst Blue Ribbon (I thought it had a nice hoppy finish)
2. Natural Ice (I thought it had a nice consistent flavor)
3. Fosters Premium Ale (had a soapy smell at first but tasted okay)
4. Yuengling (Oh my beloved Yuenging, or so I thought. It had a pretty skunky finish)
5. Bud Light (Average but fine)
6. Budweiser (Light but had flavor)
7. Icehouse (Slightly watered down but still had flavor
8. Miller High Life (Comes on strong at first but peters out in the finish)
9. Coors Light (Tastes all right at first but finish really watered down)
10. And lastly, and surprisingly to me, Miller Lite. It was way watered down, with barely a hint that I may be drinking beer at all. This used to be my go-to beer years ago. The one, I more than not, had in my hand at parties and bars. I really thought I would rate it much higher.
Overall here's how the team rated the beers:
1. Yuengling, 2. Foster's Premium Ale, 3. Icehouse, 4. Natural Ice, 5. Pabst Blue Ribbon, 6. Bud Light, 7. Miller High Life, 8. Budweiser, 9. Miller Lite, 10. Coors Light

Where does the name of each book come from?
(I am not a Christian and this should be treated like a novice question.)
Where does the name of each book come from?
(I am not a Christian and this should be treated like a novice question.)
The various books get their names in different ways. Most of the Old Testament books are named for their theme. For example, the book of Genesis tells of the beginning (or genesis) of the world, and human history. The book of Exodus tells of the story of the Israelites' exodus out of Egypt. Psalms and Proverbs, are collections of, respectively, psalms (songs) and proverbs (wise sayings). The books of Samuel, Ruth, Job, and many others, tell the stories of the people after which they are named.
In the New Testament, there are three main naming conventions. Many books are named after their authors, such as the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John, along with a few other letters (also called Epistles), which are named after their authors, such as James, and First Peter and Second Peter (he wrote two letters that are in the Bible).
Some of the other books in the New Testament are also letters, and are named after the recipient. First Corinithians and Second Corinthians are the first and second letters written to the church in Corinith, for instance. And Romans is a letter written to the church in Rome. First Timothy and Second Timothy are both letters written to Timothy (who was a church leader at the time).
And finally, a few of the New Testament books are also named after their theme. Acts portrays the "acts of the Apostles", and Revelation is a revelation of new insight (although the exact theme of Revelation is somewhat of a disputed issue--some say it's a revelation about the future, others say it's historical in content).
The book names take a variety of formats, largely related to the kind of book they are.
The first set of books in the Bible are historical books (although the first 5 are usually considered as a separate set from the rest) - they give accounts of events that have happened - and they are usually named after key events they describe: Genesis includes the story about the genesis of the universe, Exodus includes the story of the Jews' exodus form Egypt. Later on, the two books of Kings (referred to as 1 Kings and 2 Kings) tell of various kings of Israel. Then there are several books that are named after the key people in them, such as 1 and 2 Samuel, Ruth, Esther, etc.
Some of these histories overlap considerably, so the books aren't in exact chronological order in the sense of each one following on from the next, but they are roughly in chronological order.
After the histories come a set of "wisdom" books, generally named after the nature of their contents (Psalms = poetry/songs, Proverbs). Then come the prophets - these read as histories but instead of concentrating on recording historical events as such, the focus is on revelations God made to key people. These books are named after the prophets they relate to.
Then we enter the New Testament, starting off with the four gospels. These are contemporary accounts of the life of Jesus, named after the person who wrote each one - Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. Then comes effectively a sequel to the book of Luke, which details events that happened after the life of Jesus - the book of Acts.
After Acts come a series of letters, which are either named after the people they were addressed to (often the church in a whole city rather than individual people) or the person who wrote them. Then, finally, there's the book of Revelation, which is effectively a New Testament prophecy, "revealing" much about Heaven and how the world as we know it will end.
The other answers are great, but for those that like comprehensive lists...

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE – July 22, 2009: Music's biggest stars – Bruce Springsteen & the E Street Band, U2, Paul Simon, Metallica, Eric Clapton, Aretha Franklin, Stevie Wonder, Crosby, Stills, Nash & Friends, Simon and Garfunkel – will come together on October 29th and 30th at Madison Square Garden for two unique concerts celebrating the 25th anniversary of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. The shows, presented by American Express, will be packed with guest stars and unique collaborations designed to tell the story of rock and roll. American Express® Cardmembers have access to advance tickets through ticketmaster.com or by calling 800-745-3000 starting 9 a.m. on Monday, July 27th. Additional sponsorship support for the event is being provided by Bacardi.
Each night will feature entirely different line-ups, with artists performing their own songs and the music that inspired them –tracing the history of genres ranging from soul to hard rock. All proceeds raised will go towards creating a permanent endowment for the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Foundation and Museum. "Twenty-five years ago a group led by legendary Atlantic Records founder Ahmet Ertegun created this foundation to recognize and celebrate the music and careers of artists whose music helped shape and define our generation," said Jann Wenner, Founder and Chairman of Rolling Stone and Chairman of the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Foundation. "These once-in-a-lifetime concerts are designed to celebrate the artists and their music."
A creative team of Tom Hanks and his producing partner Gary Goetzman, Wenner, singer-songwriter Robbie Robertson, Academy Award®-winning screenwriter, director Cameron Crowe and several others will work with the artists to curate the show through the live performances and filmed segments. Joel Gallen, the producer/director behind the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Induction Ceremonies and the MTV Movie Awards (1995-2006), will direct the show and oversee the 25th Anniversary Celebration along with the creative consultants.
This event is being presented in conjunction with the American Express Concert Series. American Express offers Cardmembers the exclusive opportunity to purchase advanced tickets to the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Foundation 25th Anniversary Celebration, prior to public. Tickets will be available for purchase with an American Express Card through ticketmaster.com or by calling 800-745-3000, from 9 a.m. Monday, July 27th, through Sunday, August 2nd at 9 p.m. Tickets will be on sale to the general public beginning Monday, August 3rd at 9 a.m.
The Rock and Roll of Fame Foundation and Museum's anniversary celebration will also extend beyond the concerts, with both a book and a deluxe DVD set to be released this fall. The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame: The First 25 Years, chronicling 25 years of induction ceremonies, will be published by Collins Design (an imprint of HarperCollins) in September. In August, Time Life will issue a nine-DVD boxed set of highlights of the past induction ceremonies, featuring speeches and all-star performances, many that have never before seen by the public.

Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band
Simon & Garfunkel

Paul Simon
Stevie Wonder
Performing on October 30th will be:

Didier Reynders organises conference on Belgium and the UN
Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Foreign Affairs Didier Reynders is organising a conference on the theme "Belgium at the heart of the United Nations, today and tomorrow" at the Egmont Palace today. This event is organised in cooperation with the MUN Society Belgium (Model United Nations Society Belgium), which is made up of young people who are passionate about the United Nations and global issues. A few days ago, Minister Reynders also took part in the ministerial week at the 68th Session of the United Nations General Assembly in New York.
During the conference today, Minister Reynders explained his vision of Belgian politics within the United Nations. He also answered questions about international relations. In addition to young people from the MUN Society Belgium, the conference was also attended by officials from the UN agencies in Belgium, members of the French and Dutch United Nations associations (UNPA and VVN) and representatives from various Belgian universities.
This event is the start of a cooperation between Minister Reynders and the MUN Society Belgium. The prestigious Harvard University entrusted the MUN Society Belgium with the organisation of WorldMUN 2014. The 23rd session of this international diplomatic conference will take place in Brussels from 16 to 21 March 2014. It will bring together thousands of students from around the world to discuss international issues.
WorldMUN is a project developed at the end of the Cold War. Its objective was to exchange viewpoints from East and West on the evolution of international relations. The WorldMUN principle has always remained the same: to discuss the challenges of the 21st century and reach a common objective. WorldMUN is organised every year in a different part of the world by the local branch of Model United Nations. The MUN Society Belgium has won first place at this conference no fewer than four times now.
Didier Reynders and the MUN Society Belgium seek out ambitious diplomats between the ages of 14 and 25 to present their ideas on the role that Belgium plays in the United Nations. Articles of no more than 350 words must be submitted via the Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/MUN.Society.Belgium/app_432976163386165 before 3 December 2013.
The authors of the best articles will be invited to discuss their proposals with Minister Reynders in March 2014, on the eve of WorldMUN 2014 in Brussels. This is an opportunity for young people to have their voices heard by today's politicians and build a bridge between the decision-makers of today and tomorrow.

Rated 4.2 out of 5 by 11 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by DDeni Gorgeous Color! I looked at these chairs online for a long time and coveted them because of their "mallard green" color. I finally went to a World Market to see them in person. They only had the red in stock. But after sitting in the store display chair, I went home and immediately ordered two of these chairs, even without seeing the actual color in person, because of their comfort. They were delivered fairly quickly and I could not be happier with them! The color is exactly as pictured online and they are perfect in front of my fireplace. Love them! August 11, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by 1Happynester Oh so comfy! The holiday coupons brought me back to my favorite furniture store and I took a load off and curled up in this chair. It was espresso like most of my furnishings! I decided to wait for a furniture sale and sho nuf it happened and I bought two, yes two, of these pretty chairs. I don't care about bonded leather--I love things that are comfy, cozy and emotionally appealing. A pretty color that goes with my affinity for warm colors. Hope this is helpful February 2, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by peppermintp definitely a bargain I bought 2 of these for the sale price. I love them especially the color and the size of the chair. Not too big so it does not overtake the master bedroom they are sitting in. The chairs are unbelieveably comfortable. They are so stylish and I am building the bedroom around them. I also got a 20% coupon online so the price was even better. Great customer service as well. Thanks Cost Plus! January 3, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by Vicki Beautiful color and comfortable I have this to go in my sage aqua and cream living room and it looks great. It is so comfortable. I just really wish there was a matching ottoman as I cannot figure out what color to order to go with it. Like the last reviewer said, your really need an ottoman to make it work for reading or just really relaxing! You cannot go wrong by ordering this beautiful chair. November 19, 2011
Rated 4 out of 5 by JennD Small but stylish When I bought this chair, I thought it was a leather chair (I should have looked up bi-cast leather before purchasing- my fault). It does not really feel like real leather, so just know that going in. However, it is easy to clean, very comfortable and the color is gorgeous. It is also smaller than I pictured, so make sure to look at the measurements. It turns out that worked in my favor though since the space I had in mind for it was smaller than I thought also. It seems to be well made, so that is also important to mention. It is a very stylish chair and I would recommend to others! February 23, 2015
Rated 4 out of 5 by beachbum84 Looks nice; good buy I ordered the chair online on Saturday night and it was delivered by FedX on Wednesday. Easy to attach the feet. Appears more green than blue. Very noisy at first, but is becoming somewhat quieter. Comfortable for a short person. I am pleased with the purchase. December 16, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by hilaryshouse Great chairs but I had to exchange mine due to a fault. I ordered two of these chairs and they brighten up the room nicely. Unfortunately one of them had a nail almost poking through the leather near the top. The store staff were very helpful and courteous with the exchange but I do think a quick glance by quality control could have prevented the chair going out in the first place. It's very annoying to pay almost $170 in additional shipping costs and then have to lug the faulty chair to a store in order to make an exchange. In the end it was worth the effort because the chairs look great, I love the color and the quality is in line with the price. November 19, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by LindaD Good Chair for the Price I ordered 2 of the chairs for occasional seating for the living room. The color is wonderful, just as pictured and they are comfortable for short term seating. The bonded leather is slick and you have a tendency to slide a little. They really do need a foot stool for more than occasional use. I am 5'5" and the seat depth is great for me. My husband is 6'2" and it is a little short for him. December 14, 2013

One of Europe's most popular cities, Berlin is right up there when it comes to shopping. Besides scores of department stores and boutiques, it also boasts several open air markets. Here are a few clues to shopping in the city…
Kurfürstendamm, Tauenzianstrasse and Alexanderplatz are where you can find all the famous brands aimed more at young people.
The antique market set up at the Tiergarten between 11 and 5 on weekends offers fabulous opportunities for handmade modern products and artworks as well as antiques.
Board the U8 underground line and get off at Weinmeisterstrasse in Mitte, one of the city's major areas for boutiques.
When you're tired of that, board the u2 to friedrichstrasse, where you'll find the world brands and shopping centers.

Neshama works at the Fairfax Library.
This is an official blog for the Marin County Free Library.
All branches of Marin County Free Library will be closed on Monday, July 4 for Independence Day.
This installment: a teen book about WWII, a book on CD set in the South, and an odd, charming Scandinavian idyll.
Code Name Verity by Elizabeth Wein
An amazing young adult novel set in France in '43. English girls "Verity" and her pilot friend Maddie work with the underground. Verity is caught and the Gestapo try to pry secrets from her. She's incredibly cool, upper class, and brilliant though her narrative, told by herself in the third person, is modest and candid. Her strategy works, at enormous cost, and we witness the ultimate challenge of friendship at the end. Vivid, with a sense of immediate history. (This would make a thrilling movie.)
Nightwoods by Charles Frazier
I haven't gotten to his big hit, Cold Mountain, yet, not being a Civil War buff. But a friend told me it makes for wonderful reading aloud. So when his new book with a theme that interests me (challenging children) came along in CD form, I thought I'd give it a try. Yes indeed, it sounds wonderful in the ear, especially since the actor uses a light, authentic Southern accent. The story is chilling. Young Luce lives a hermit's life, care-taking an empty rundown lodge on a lake in North Carolina. Her mother's long gone, she's estranged from her father, Lit, a diminutive local sheriff.
Her sister made a terrible marriage, got murdered, and Luce ends up with her offspring: traumatized, feral, mute twins. A gripping story unfolds as Luce works patiently and cannily with the children. However their father Bud, bizarrely acquitted, is on their trail to retrieve his ill-gotten gains and shut them up before they start to talk. A suitor, the lodge's new owner, does what he can, but Luce is almost as hard to win as her wards. Incredible suspense and a great sense of place.
The Summer Book by Tove Jansson
This recommendation came to me via Oprah and what a satisfying reading experience it turned out to be. (I know Jansson's work through her children's books and some strange, subtle adult novels.) Life on this very small island off Finland has its own set rhythms and rituals for young Sophia and her sharp but aged grandmother. Since her mother is dead and her father's around but mostly working, the two provide comfort, adventure, and support for each other, most of the time. There are squabbles, fears, and periodic gulfs between them--that's life, after all--but it's an essential and ultimately gratifying relationship. Exploring, inquiring, and creating all take place between them. We should all be so lucky. Two particularly charming episodes: the father's imported garden amidst the island's stringent ecology, and the new neighbor on the next island who initially seems like a nouveau riche boor but who turns out to love the island as much as they do.
Back next Monday

Monday Musings: Royce?s reunion | News | Men's Basketball | Cyclone Fanatic
Twitter: @ChrisMWilliams
Facebook: Cyclone Fanatic
Thinking fans will enjoy seeing Royce play and will welcome him back, probably shaking our heads inwardly at the same time wondering why things couldn't have gone better for him and his NBA future. Hope it still works out.
I'd love to see a day in which current/former NBA players show up to play in the CCL every year...
Hopefully, Royce can use this opportunity to springboard his transition to the 76ers. I still hope the best for him, but he hasn't made it easy over the last year.
I can't even imagine how packed/hot that gym will be...
Will Royce be the point forward?
Let Prohm's Posse Ride: Hallice, Brady, Stu, Lard, Naz, Deonte, Monte, Matt, Simeon, Jordan, and Babb.
Hope the best for him. Still never understood why his agent wasn't more involved in his PR the last year. Twitter seemed to hurt him more than help. I understand his desire to be an advocate for mental health, but there is a right and wrong way to go about it.
Interesting. Who is eligible to play in the CCL? Is it kinda a 'by invite' type of thing?

Basically anyone. Last year Royce and Brackins played in the same game against each other.

It'd be fun to watch that game. Wish I could go

Forget the treadmill, pavement or high school track and hit the mountain trails instead.
Serious runners are a curious bunch of athletes. They are allowed to streak down Wasatch Boulevard wearing six-inch, fluorescent loincloths without anyone giving it a second thought, and they can say things like "fartlek" without being ostracized. They also happen to be sadists. As many a high school cross-country tee will remind you, what they do for fun, other sports utilize as a punishment.
As a sport, running is less of a religion and more a collection of pilgrims, each on a separate path to pavement-pounding nirvana. But among these souls, none are respected more than those who forsake paved roads for the hard-packed clay of the Wasatch Mountains. Within this world of self-torture and isolation, trail running is an exercise in hyperbole.
For trail runners, the elevation gains are greater, the views more spectacular—almost hedonistic—and the rewards more rewarding. Despite the mysticism most of us attach to the juggernauts that sprint past us as we slog up Neff's Canyon, joining the ranks of running's elite isn't as torturous as it sounds. To get you started on the path to athletic enlightenment, we've provided some motivation to get off the streets and into the mountains, including trails to start on, expert inspiration and the gear you'll need for the journey.
Why Trail Running?
For starters, let's explain why you want to be a trail runner. The simple answer: It's like hiking but more awesome.
The cardiovascular benefits associated with running are amplified when athletes take their treads to the mountains. The higher elevations improve blood's oxygen-carrying capacity, while the varied terrain increases balance and strengthens stabilizer muscles. Hitting dirt trails instead of the road also protects joints from the pounding they take on asphalt or concrete. Bonus: The mountain air you're breathing in is way cleaner than Salt Lake's infamous smog.
Getting Started
Whether you're an avid runner wanting to take the road less traveled or an outdoor enthusiast craving more alpine architecture, getting into trail running is fairly simple. Finding good trails is easy—any place that's popular for mountain biking or hiking will be perfect for trail running—and no special equipment is necessary for the amateur runner.
That's not to say no preparation is required. The added danger of trail running over its urban counterpart is limited access to facilities, supplies or civilization should something go wrong. To prevent an accident, take time to plan out your route. If six miles is typical for you on the road, plan on cutting that distance on the trail. Make sure someone knows where you're headed, and bring your cell phone along if you don't mind the weight. Bring plenty of water, and toss in a few energy snacks to ensure you don't bonk out on the return portion of your out and back.

Yes! I was lucky enough to get into the Doll Quilt Swap, one of the coolest swaps out there, IMO. So here's my first inspiration mosaic ever.
1. dqs9-received, 2. Stars and Sea: The Reveal!, 3. pillow swap sneak peak in progress, 4. Scrappy Applique Pillow - 2, 5. Spool Mini Quilt, 6. Star Light Star Bright, 7. Wonky Asterisk Quilt, 8. Giant Spiderweb, 9. funky asterisk, 10. Pop Flower Quilt, 11. completed pillow for pillow talk swap 3, 12. dqs9n
The quilt I receive in this swap will (hopefully) be the first in a collection of swap mini-quilts to hang on the very empty wall above my sewing machine. I love the idea of putting quilts from other people up there—that way, when I'm stuck on something or frustrated, I won't have far to look to find some inspiration. : ) So, I hope this mosaic will give my partner some ideas, but I also hope she/he will feel free to do their own thing, because in reality I'm open to almost anything. I like the idea of having something that is a little outside of my "usual." Otherwise, I could have made it myself, right? My only real requirement is that it should be modern.
Hope this helps, partner!

American Music Masters Moments: Les Paul is the first installment in a series that shares stories from the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame's American Music Masters® events through the years. Beginning in 1996 with a tribute to Woody Guthrie, the American Music Masters series has honored artists who've been instrumental in the development of rock and roll with a range of events celebrating their careers. Each AMM brings together musicians from around the world, setting the stage for special, once-in-a-lifetime moments. These are those stories.
From their inception in 1996, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum's American Music Masters programs have been sensational, but the one that I have the fondest memories of is the 2008 tribute to Les Paul. One of the great highlights of my job is the fact that I was lucky enough to get to know Les. In 2004, I worked with Les to put together and exhibit The New Sound: Les Paul and the Electric Guitar. When the exhibit opened, Les and his trio came to Cleveland and performed on the main stage in the museum's lobby. That exhibit is still up on the second floor of the museum, in the Architects of Rock section. So, I was delighted when we decided to honor Les as an American Music Master in 2008.
When we started putting the all-star tribute concert together, the reaction from other guitar players was amazing. Virtually everyone we contacted wanted to come to Cleveland to pay tribute to Les. The lineup included Slash, Billy Gibbons, James Burton, Duane Eddy, Richie Sambora, Lonnie Mack, Lenny Kaye, Jeff "Skunk" Baxter, Steve Lukather, Jennifer Batten. . . and on and on. Because he was in declining health, there was some question initially whether Les himself would be able to make it to Cleveland. Finally, he said he was coming. On Saturday afternoon, Les made an appearance at the conference at Case Western Reserve University. Then, on Saturday night, he came out for the concert. The show got off to a great start with Barbara Lynn's and Billy Gibbons' performance of "New Dupree Blues." The intensity continued to build as James Burton, Duane Eddy, the Ventures and Dennis Coffey pulled off fantastic, back-to-back guitar instrumentals. Jennifer Batten's solo performance of Les' classic version of "Lover" enthralled the audience and Les, who was watching from offstage. And then, to bring the weeklong series of events to an unbelievable end, Les and his trio took the stage and performed a set of classic tunes. (pictured above: Les Paul performs at 2008 American Music Masters event)
It was a brilliant night. Unfortunately, less than a year later, Les Paul passed away. It makes me extremely happy that the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame was able to honor him in such a way, and that he was able to come to Cleveland to take part in the ceremonies.
This year, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum pays tribute to Aretha Franklin, including a tribute concert on November 5, featuring Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Inductees Dennis Edwards (of the Temptations), Ronald Isley (of the Isley Brothers), and Spooner Oldham, as well as 2012 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Nominee Chaka Khan, Ms. Lauryn Hill, Jerry Butler, Patti Austin, Kris Bowers, Carla Cook, Melinda Doolittle, Mike Farris and Cissy Houston..

Men's Soccer
News: Harbor Hands Men's Soccer Tough 3-2 SCC Loss
Sitting in a nice early positon in second place of the South Coast Conference, the Pasadena City College men's soccer team knew the importance of Friday's match v. Los Angeles Harbor. A couple of defensive letdowns midway through the match was too much for the Lancers in a 3-2 loss to the Seahawks at Robinson Stadium.
PCC dropped to 2-1-1 in conference games and 3-3-5 overall. Harbor jumped past the Lancers in the SCC standings at 3-1 and 7-3 overall.
After Harbor opened the scoring on a goal by Brian Flores in the 28th minute, a minute later Rodolfo Munoz headed in a free kick from 40 yards out by German Alfaro to allow the Lancers to tie it at 1-1. The Seahawks grabbed a 2-1 halftime lead as Aurelio Partida was left wide open in the goalie box and fired in a 12-yard shot for a goal.
Just two minutes into the second half, Jesus Gutierrez grabbed a loose ball in the corner and sent a cross to Sergio Cervantes, who easily knocked in a short-range shot for a goal and a 3-2 Harbor lead.
In the 73rd minute, the Lancers again responded as Sergio Benitez intercepted a clearing pass at the 35 yard-line and launched in a long-range goal that cut it to 3-2.
PCC goalie Gaetano Perez made three saves, including a stop on a penalty kick by Alberto Valdez in the 52nd minute.
On October 8 at Long Beach City College, the Lancers settled for a 1-1 tie. Alfaro scored his first collegiate goal on a breakaway off on an assist by Luis Flores.
The Lancers next play defending state champion Mt. San Antonio on Tuesday, October 15 in a 3 p.m. match at Robinson Stadium.

We were all dressed up for a party on a Saturday night, my husband and I, waiting for our son's longtime babysitter to arrive, when the phone rang. The woman on the line announced that our sitter was in the hospital, told us where and the barest bones of why, then hung up. Geoff and I looked at each other, suddenly sick with worry. First, of course, for our sitter, who has cared for our seven-year-old son since he was born—would she be OK? And next, for the fragile scaffolding of our lives. What about Monday and Tuesday, when we both had packed schedules, and Wednesday, when I was due to leave for a five-day business trip? Would she be better? And if not, what on earth were we going to do?
Back up 44 years. In 1969, the year before I was born, my parents moved from New York to Los Angeles. After struggling to find a job, despite two master's degrees, my mother started as a Christmas clerk at Bullock's before getting hired in her field, as a librarian at the University of Southern California. I was looked after by babysitters until I was nine, when I became a latchkey kid, like many of my fellow Gen Xers. As I was growing up, my mother would tell me, "Jennifer, when you were born, I couldn't wait to get back to work!"
She was proud of her career and her financial independence, and because of her, working has never felt like a choice to me. It's a given. Automatic, like paying taxes. I've had one job or another since I was 14, and I've supported myself since I graduated from college at 22. I love being a magazine editor. But when I got pregnant at 34, people in my office kept asking if I would return after maternity leave. They seemed to think I was being coy when I said "Of course!" and they looked surprised when I walked in 12 weeks after my son was born and powered up my computer, as if I'd ever been anything but clear about my intentions. Except why wouldn't they wonder? Two other women were pregnant the same year I was, and neither came back to her job.
At the time, I didn't think about it much. I was too busy trying to figure out how to breast-feed and get my work done and manage it all on five hours of sleep. I never questioned my decision to work, and I also didn't question theirs not to. One woman returns to the office after maternity leave; another doesn't. Why does it matter? Isn't one path as valuable as another? I was naive to think it was so simple. For women, the decision whether to work outside the home or raise kids full time is the ultimate manifestation of assumptions about femininity, motherhood, marriage and finance. And like it or not, it's our first salvo in the mommy wars.
Let's be clear: It is a privileged group of women and men who ever confront this decision. Many don't have anything approaching a financial choice when it comes to working. Others have children whose health problems dictate that someone be there to manage their care. The issue is further distorted by socioeconomic class: One mother stays home because child care for her kids would cost more than she could possibly earn or because she can't find appropriate employment; another stays home but has full-time help and plenty of money left over. There is a danger in lumping people together too categorically.
Except that schools do tend to lump people together. And so when my son toddled off to a nursery program at the age of three, I began to experience the gulf between working mothers and stay-at-home mothers (though we know that all these women work), between the ones who treated maternity leave as temporary and those who caromed off it into a new life. My son's school is lovely and sweet, and I feel grateful to have him there. Still, these days schools require a lot of volunteering and chaperoning and class-mommying. There are presentations on bullying to attend and potlucks to host and end-of-the-year gifts to arrange. For any parent, it's a never-ending expression of personal values. In which of your commitments will you invest the most time?
These choices set us up for conflict. For better or worse, I have always elected to spend most of my time at the office (I'm currently More's deputy editor), and that has kept me largely out of the fray. None of the full-time mothers at my son's school have ever been anything but nice to me. But I hear a different story from working mothers at other schools who tried harder to be part of some inner circle. One of my colleagues told me with real pain how the mothers at her daughter's school would make plans almost every day for kid activities after 1 o'clock pickup. My colleague could never go, and her babysitter wasn't welcome. That meant her daughter was also excluded. "They were very cliquey, and I felt marginalized," my colleague said bitterly. She echoed a refrain I've heard often: Committee meetings get scheduled for 11 am; babysitters aren't acceptable substitutes; the bar for participation seems to be set in such a way that working mothers are automatically excluded.
Of course, judgment cuts both ways. Stay-at-home mothers say they get frustrated with working mothers who must be asked five times to submit their child's contribution to the class quilt, who have to be nagged about every little thing, all while the stay-at-home moms are shouldering most of the unpaid labor around school. And working mothers can be condescending, even scornful, to women who don't work for money. One full-time mom confessed to me that she drops a reference to her 15 years as a flight attendant whenever she's talking to working moms or else she feels as if they dismiss her. I've also heard working moms get unattractively nasty about how much time their stay-at-home counterparts devote to Pilates, peels and kids' parties; they forget how exhausting it can be to spend most of your life in the company of children.
One day at lunch with an executive at Citi's Women & Co., having a version of this conversation, I felt it come together: Women of all types experience this tension, and we should dig into what it's about. And so this nationwide survey was born.
Ask 500 people a bunch of questions and you will learn something. Our biggest surprise: the men. We threw them into the mix in the hope that they'd have something to add on this subject. Wow, do they ever. In one series of provocative questions, many declined to take sides. But when the men did choose an answer, they clearly shared the point of view of stay-at-home moms. If working mothers feel ambivalent about heading out to the office every day—and our survey says they do—could they partly be reacting to their husbands' attitudes? The men who spoke up said stay-at-home moms are better mothers (by a ratio of 7 to 1), make better role models (2 to 1) and have better-behaved children (6 to 1). Try packing that in your briefcase and lugging it to the office every day.
Also: Thank you, Dr. Freud. It turns out that whether a respondent's mother worked while she was growing up has a strong influence on her own perceptions. Your answer to who is a better mother, who is happier, who is a better role model depends not so much on your own employment status as on whether your mom held a job during your childhood. Respondents tended to think that what their mom did was best, even if it wasn't the choice they were making for themselves.
Taken together, the results hint at a festering defensiveness, as if all of us were insecure about our decisions and justifying them a little too vigorously. But really, why wouldn't we? Either we're good mothers because we spend our time with the kids, or we are independent women because we have a life outside our families. We have to pick one—and that choice then becomes a cornerstone of our identity. I work. I stay home. Except that neither option is without drawbacks. The reality is that it is enormously difficult to get back into the workplace after leaving to raise children. Even those who do successfully on-ramp sacrifice a chunk of their earning power. But it's also true that kids need to spend time with their parents, and not only in hour-long slots before bed. Many women on both sides feel bad about what they've had to give up, and it's all too easy to let insecurity turn outward into judgment and accusation. No wonder we're fighting.
My utopian vision: a world less either-or. A world in which women—and men—didn't have to either stay home or go to work, where we could move more fluidly between the two. Even now there are many ways to be a working mother; part-timers, freelancers and entrepreneurs, I salute you. But most of us aren't able to join those ranks. Instead, ending this fight will require family-friendly public policies (paid sick days, paid family leave, subsidized child care, early childhood education), flexibility for all employees, fair pay and a more forgiving workplace culture. All of us should get out there and agitate for whatever political and corporate solutions we believe in; families shouldn't have to figure this out alone. But until then, let's find in ourselves some sympathy for other people's circumstances, accepting that none of us have the answers.
Now for that scary Saturday night. The next morning, we visited our babysitter in the hospital and asked how we could help. And then I threw myself on the mercy of the mothers in my son's class. They came through, generously and without question. Every day for a week, I needed someone to pick him up from school and look after him until my husband could leave the office. Three mothers took my son in shifts, helped him finish his homework, cooked him dinner. I wore out my keyboard sending thankyouthankyou notes. As I write this, I realize I should have done more to show my gratitude; I hope to find a way to repay them. Was I the too-busy working mom taking advantage of the stay-at-home moms? That's one version of the truth. I prefer to see it this way: As women, we will sometimes complain and criticize. But when someone needs help, we will shut up and pitch in. We are in this together.

Why would it matter if they raced the Masters race at States but not at Natz? That makes absolutely no sense. Is there a state-level policy that you can be too fast to race Masters? States vs. Natz aside, the real question is, should folks who race Elite all year jump in and race Masters championship events? Turn the statement around, and you can perhaps understand my perspective; they are legitimate Master's age racers, but still fast enough to ALSO race elites. You never hear folks in the Open category complain if someone unexpectedly strong shows up to a local race; its all in the spirit of competition. The only complainers are those who have grown accustomed to a watered-down level of competition and are unpleasantly surprised when a stronger racer chooses to race in THEIR category. Bollocks. If you want ability (not age) graded competition, there's always the 35+ 4's.

Uh, racing a cat down and crushing it in your home community is weird. Just saying. I wouldn't find joy in that. Of course it's allowed and I certainly wouldn't judge them if they raced both cats, but what's the point? Let the guys who have gutted it out all year in this category have their day.

Uh, it's not a "cat down", it's the 35+ OPEN race. Why should anyone get gifted the win, just 'cause they have been racing it all year? They DESERVE to win because they have been beating the slower old guys the entire season? Also, saying something is "weird", and then claiming to "not judge" is a bit disingenuous. People have plenty of reasons to want to race on both days this coming weekend, one being good preparation for the main event on Sunday. Perhaps some of the oldsters could enter the Open race to get feel for where they really shake out amongst their age-group peers.

McGowan's 4th career triple-double leads Stetson women to road win
Published: Monday, February 18, 2013 at 11:41 p.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, February 20, 2013 at 12:38 p.m.
NASHVILLE — Victoria McGowan recorded her fourth career triple-double with 19 points, 12 rebounds and 10 assists as Stetson defeated host Lipscomb 68-54 in an Atlantic Sun Conference game Monday night at Allen Arena.
Shanasa Sanders added 17 points and six rebounds in the final regular-season road game of the year for the Hatters (19-7, 12-3 A-Sun).
"I thought we played a lot harder in this game than we did (Saturday) at Northern Kentucky," Stetson coach Lynn Bria said. "It was also one of the best games I've seen Victoria McGowan play. It was a complete game on both ends of the floor. She really carried us and played her rear end off (Monday)."
After compiling an NCAA-best three triple-doubles last season, McGowan registered her first this season. She also recorded her 500th career field goal and her 400th career assist during the first half.
"My main focus (Monday) was defense, and the offense just came," McGowan said. "Just playing hard was the main thing for me."
Stetson will play its final three regular-season games at home, including a game with Florida Gulf Coast at 1 p.m. Saturday. The Hatters are 12-0 at the Edmunds Center this season and have won 16 consecutive games at home.

Have you checked to see what numbers are on the sights you have mounted ?
Easiest would be to just replace with same, same
i am about to outfit all my sigs with new night sights. i am unsure about the different sizes (#6, #8, etc.) that these sights come in. what 'size' sight should i get to keep the sights as close to factory 'size' as possible? they are all three shooting more accurate than anything i have ever owned, i don't want to screw that up.
i also want to get a weapon mounted light for the 229r. anybody have a suggestion that won't hang way out the front or require a morgage on my house?
thanks all!

The smallest tactical light I am aware of is the Insight X2. It's not terribly bright (40 lumens), but is very compact. I wouldn't put it on a fighting rifle, but the two I've played with seemed more than sturdy enough for typical pistol use, and is inexpensive.

The distressed look was exactly what we wanted and saw a similar table elsewhere for triple the price. Definitely worth the money, however, the chairs tend to "stick" to clothing like workout clothes. We realized only after purchase they MUST have pillows! Overall, a great deal and a beautiful amazing set. December 28, 2011

The top is a rough surface but the texture makes it interesting. The chairs are rough around the edges too...this is not interesting, it's annoying. We are going to have to sand them to prevent them from catching on nearly every fabric except denim. December 28, 2011
